6.19.2024 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Juneteenth 2024; Verzuz to air on Elon Musk’s X; Willie Mays dies; World Sickle Cell Day

As we celebrate Cel-Liberation Day and commemorate the celebration of emancipation, we'll examine the loophole that enables schools nationwide to ignore Juneteenth's importance.

We'll also talk to the CEO of OneUnited Bank, the largest Black-owned bank in the U.S., who says emancipation has four economic benefits.

The "Grandmother of Juneteenth," Opal Lee, gets the keys to her new house this week, built where her family's Fort Worth, Texas, home was burned down by a racist mob 85 years ago.

We'll pay tribute to baseball Hall of Famer Willie Mays, "the Say Hey Kid," who died at 93.

Today is World Sickle Cell Day. We'll talk about the latest in finding a cure for this disease that affects primarily Americans of African descent.
