11.17.21 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Today, Travis McMichael took the stand to tell his side of the story he and his father chased and gunned down Ahmaud Arbery.

The clock is ticking in Oklahoma. Tomorrow is the day death row inmate Julius Jones is scheduled to be executed. Today, protests in the state capitol, students walking out all wanting Governor Kevin Stitt to grant Jones the clemency recommended twice. We'll talk to the Director of the LIVE FREE Campaign, who'll be at tonight's prayer vigil.

For nearly a decade, Sherrilyn Ifill led the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund.

 Today she announced she is stepping down. I got a chance to speak with her today to find out why she's leaving and who will replace her.

Two of the men convicted of killing Malcolm X will be exonerated because the prosecution, NYPD, and the FBI neglected to hand over crucial evidence during the trial.

The family of a North Carolina black man says the police officer who shot the gun who killed Andrew Brown, Jr. altered the weapon before submitting it into evidence.  

He pleaded guilty to rape and got no jail time. We'll tell you about the white rapist who was sentenced to eight years probation. The judge said prison time would be "inappropriate."
