Summary
4.30.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Louisiana Postpones Election. Roland Moderates Black men's Mental Health Forum in Shreveport.
Louisiana's congressional primaries, originally scheduled for May, have been postponed due to a Supreme Court ruling that invalidated a majority-Black congressional district. We will have one of the attorneys who argued before the Supreme Court, along with two advocates, to discuss the implications of this decision and the impact of not proceeding with May's midterms.
Additionally, Roland will moderate a forum on Black men's mental health in Shreveport, Louisiana. The community is grappling with the tragedy of eight children killed by the father of seven of those kids, who had shared his dark thoughts with others.
