Colin Powell dead; 3 white men on trial for killing unarmed jogger, 55th Black Panther Party anniv.

10.18.21 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: The first African American to ever be appointed chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the first Black secretary of state, Colin Powell, has died at the age of 84. The second hour of Roland Martin Unfiltered will be dedicated to his legacy.

In Georgia, it's the first day of the trial for the three white men accused of chasing down and killing unarmed black jogger Ahmaud Arbery. We'll take a look at how jury selection went today.

This month marks the 55th anniversary of the Black Panther Party. Tonight we'll have two former leaders of the Kansas City Black Panther Party Chapter who had to flee the U.S. to talk about the organization's history and if anything has really changed in 55 years.
