Julius Jones' Clemency; VA Gov's race, MN Public Safety? HU & Rev. Jackson, Racist AL Judge Fired

11.01.21 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: For the second time, Oklahoma Death row inmate Julius Jones' life is being recommended to be spared by the state's Pardon and Parole Board. It's back up to the governor who declined to commute Jones' sentence last month. Tonight, Jones' spiritual advisor tells us how he is doing after today's hearing. The Virginia governor's race is too close to call. I spoke with Democratic candidate Terry McAuliffe to find how what he wants to say to black voters the night before the election. It's being called the most contentious ballot item in Minneapolis in years: the public safety charter amendment, which would create a Department of Public Safety and a new public health approach to safety. We have the Communications Director from Yes 4 Minneapolis here to explain. Sen. Joe Manchin says he will not vote for the $1.75 trillion Build Back Better bill. He says he needs more time to consider the social safety net package's framework. Howard University students still protesting got a chance to sit with some civil rights icons. Rev. Jesse Jackson and Rev. William Barber gave the students what they were desiring, a listening ear. In return, they got some protesting advice. Howard isn't the only HBCU with some angry students. We'll tell you why the Tuskegee University Marching Crimson Piper Band is boycotting all school activities. An Alabama judge is no longer on the bench after asking a black man if he was a drug dealer when one of his staffers purchased a new car.
