Summary
12.07.2021 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Shut Down DC, CBC Vigil, Smollett Trial; Houston's 1st Black-owned grocery store; Atl's New Mayor
They shut down D.C. We'll show you how and why protestors blocked traffic around the nation's capital.
In about 45-minutes, members of the Congressional Black Caucus will be on the capitol steps holding a vigil - urging the Senate to pass much-needed legislation.
The 61st mayor of Atlanta, Andre Dickens, will be here to tell us about his plans for the city.
The man accused of killing music executive Clarence Avant's wife is charged with murder.
A jury will soon decide the fate of Jussie Smollett. Closing arguments will begin tomorrow. We'll have a breakdown of what happened in court today.
Plus, a commission analyzes the fundamental framework of the nation's highest court to determine whether changes should be made.
And, in our Marketplace Segment, sponsored by Verizon, we'll talk to a man who had a thriving nightclub before Covid shut him down. Now, he's operating the first black-own grocery store in Houston.
