11.05.2021 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: October job numbers report is out, and apparently, it beat expectations and contends the country closer to full employment. So what's all this about a failing economy? I spoke with the Council of Economic Advisers Chair to break down the numbers and let us know if our economy is booming or not.

Opening arguments have begun in the trial of the three men accused of hunting down Ahmaud Arbery as he jogged through a south Georgia neighborhood. The defense laid down its case. Saying, Ahmaud could still be alive if he just answered the questions of the white men chasing him. We'll have a recap of what happened today.

Friends, family, and former colleagues gathered today at Washington's National Cathedral to honor Colin L. Powell, the first Black chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and later served as the first Black secretary of state.

We'll tell you about two men who have been exonerated. One man spent nearly 20 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit. The other had his charges dismissed after his arresting officer was caught on tape planting evidence.

Howard University President Dr. Wayne Fredrick just finished up his state of the university address calling for an end to the student protest.  

We'll tell you about a Georgia school where students excel in academia through holistic and STEAM-related practices in our Education Matters segment.

And a Crazy Ass White Person gets owned, thrown, and fired. You'll see what happened during San Diego's board of supervisors meeting, where an anti-vaxxer thought he would be able to get away with a racist, sexist rant. Well, one board supervisor was ready for all the smoke.
