Black FedEX Driver's Justice, Black Ala. Community's Environmental Fight, AG Kristen Clarke Honored

1.13.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Black FedEX Driver's Justice, Black Ala. Community's Environmental Fight, AG Kristen Clarke Honored A Mississippi detective's intentional discovery violations have a former black FedEx driver still searching for justice as a judge dismissed all charges against a white father and son accused of shooting at the driver three years ago.  D'Monterrio Gibson is there to talk about what it feels like to see the men who tried to kill him not face any consequences.   Black residents in southeastern Alabama say a highway project caused flooding and damaged their homes, but the government isn't doing anything to fix the problem. I'll have Dr. Robert Bullard, the father of environmental justice and a community activist, in the studio to explain what's happening in the Shiloh community.  A Chicago judge's joke got her reassigned. The joke involved a picture of a Black child and a foot outfitted with "My First Ankle Monitor."  You won't believe her excuse.  The death toll in California is at 24 more than a dozen others remain unaccounted for as multiple wildfires, fueled by severe drought conditions and strong winds, burn across the Los Angeles area. The DOJ Civil Rights Division commemorates the legacy of MLK and honors Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke. #BlackStarNetwork partner: Fanbasehttps://www.startengine.com/offering/fanbase This Reg A+ offering is made available through StartEngine Primary, LLC, member FINRA/SIPC.  This investment is speculative, illiquid, and involves a high degree of risk, including the possible loss of your entire investment.
