Summary
8.28.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Louisiana Voting Rights SCOTUS Battle, Trump Firing Spree, U.S. Open Racism, Emmett Till 70th
Louisiana is taking its fight over voting rights straight to the U.S. Supreme Court. The state seeks to gut a key provision of the Voting Rights Act by prohibiting the use of race in redistricting. Activist Gary Chambers will be here to discuss what's really at stake for Black political power.
Trump's firing spree continues. His latest casualty, Surface Transportation Board member Robert Primus. Could it be his stance on a merger that got him fired?
Controversy at the U.S. Open... A French player is under fire after making racist remarks toward American Taylor Townsend, a Black woman, right after losing their match.
And the family of Emmett Till takes the same train ride from Chicago to Mississippi to commemorate the 70th anniversary of his brutal lynching.
