Summary
4.4.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: MLK 57 years after his death, Trump tariff sparks Lesotho crisis, UConn star Paige Bueckers drama
Today, we honor the legacy of civil rights icon Martin Luther King, Jr., who was assassinated fifty-seven years ago at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee.
March's job growth exceeded expectations, but unemployment numbers were slightly worse than anticipated. We'll discuss these figures with our favorite economist, Morgan Harper, and explore how tariffs may impact employment.
The African nation of Lesotho is facing an economic crisis after the Trump administration imposed a 50% tariff on its textile exports. We'll talk to an expert about what this decision means for the small nation.
Tishaura Jones is running for a second term as mayor of St. Louis. She will join us to discuss her achievements as the city's first Black female mayor and why she deserves re-election.
Former NBA player Etan Thomas will discuss the backlash against his recent opinion piece in The Guardian, where he questions why UConn star Paige Bueckers hasn't received the same national attention as Iowa's Caitlin Clark.
And, we'll have a conversation about financial responsibilities in relationships. Personal finance expert Shani Curry will share her insights on women refusing to help pay the bills.
