2.18.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered:Georgia Fort Pleads Not Guilty. Paralyzed Man Case Charges Dropped. Roy Cooper Senate Bid
When reporting the truth becomes a crime. Independent journalist Georgia Fort is here to talk about her not guilty plea to federal felony charges tied to January's Minnesota church protest.
A Connecticut case takes a troubling turn after a Black man was paralyzed after a routine arrest--now charges against current and former officers have been dropped, despite a judge initially ruling they would stand trial.
He helped lead North Carolina, and now former North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper wants a seat in the U.S. Senate.
We'll continue honoring the life and legacy of Reverend Jesse Jackson with his son Jonathan, Marc Morial, and Pastor Frederick Haynes.
