The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration will reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous drug.  We'll talk to an advocate about this historic shift to the drug policy and its potential effects.

A follow-up to a disturbing case of Derontae Martin, the Missouri teen found shot in the head in the attic of a white supremacist.  The FBI has concluded its investigation and ruled his death a suicide.  Derontae's mother will tell us how she feels about the investigation. 

Brennan Center for Justice studied nearly a billion voter files and found that the gap between white and black voter turnout is growing. Brennan's Senior Director of Voting Rights will explain why it's increasing and how it will impact the ballot in November. 

And I'll have a recap of the 17th Annual George Lopez Celebrity Golf Classic.
