5.26.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Trump Redistricting Defeat. NAACP Sports Boycott Expands. Clarence B. Jones Remembered. _ For free and unbiased Medicare help, dial (724) 264-8281 to speak with my trusted partner, Chapter, or go to https://askchapter.org/roland Paid Partnership _ Donald Trump’s effort to pressure Republican-led states into redrawing congressional maps ahead of the midterm elections suffered two major setbacks Tuesday as efforts in Alabama and South Carolina were rejected. The rulings represent a significant blow to ongoing attempts to weaken Black voting power in Southern states through aggressive redistricting strategies. Plaintiffs involved in the Alabama case join Roland Martin Unfiltered to explain why they believe the fight over congressional maps has become one of the most important civil rights battles in America today. The Congressional Black Caucus is now calling on Corporate America to publicly defend voting rights and equal representation following the Supreme Court’s controversial decision in Louisiana v. Callais. CBC members sent letters urging corporations to stop remaining silent while Black political power faces coordinated attacks across multiple Southern states. Lawmakers argue that companies once eager to promote diversity and civic engagement are now retreating under political pressure while voting protections continue to erode. The NAACP’s growing sports boycott campaign is also placing additional pressure on states accused of advancing voter suppression efforts. The organization is urging Black athletes and fans to reconsider supporting public colleges in states that continue attacking voting rights and dismantling protections for minority voters. Activists say the Supreme Court’s 6-3 Louisiana v. Callais ruling significantly weakened the Voting Rights Act and intensified the urgency behind the boycott movement. The nation is also remembering the life and legacy of Clarence B. Jones, the legendary civil rights attorney and strategist who helped organize the 1963 March on Washington and assisted in drafting Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s historic “I Have a Dream” speech. Jones died May 22 at a California assisted living facility at the age of 95. From 1960 to 1968, he served as King’s legal counsel and one of his closest advisers, helping shape major strategic decisions throughout the Civil Rights Movement and standing alongside King during some of the most pivotal moments in American history. #RolandMartinUnfiltered #BlackStarNetwork #VotingRights #NAACP #CBC #Redistricting #Trump #BlackVotersMatter #ClarenceBJones #CivilRights #Mindset #Mindsetshift #MindShiftRevolution Black Star Network Partner: Chapter For free and unbiased Medicare help, dial (724) 264-8281 to speak with my trusted partner, Chapter, or go to https://askchapter.org/roland *Paid Partnership* Chapter and its affiliates are not connected with or endorsed by any government entity or the federal Medicare program.

This week, a16z cofounder Ben Horowitz had a rare and invaluable conversation with Dr. Clarence B. Jones, a pivotal figure in American history. Dr. Jones, who served as speechwriter, attorney, and advisor to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., shared his personal insights on race, inclusion, and the lasting legacy of the civil rights movement in 2025.In their wide-ranging discussion, Dr. Jones reflected on the timeless wisdom of Dr. King, quoting one of the most enduring lines from the "I Have a Dream" speech: “I want my four children to be judged by the content of their character, not by the color of their skin.”“That, to me, is still, that's the template,” Dr. Jones said. “That still remains a template.”Their conversation covered critical themes in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, delving into the history of the movement, the lessons from "Letter from Birmingham Jail," and the profound impact Dr. King's work continues to have today.It was a rare opportunity to hear directly from someone who not only witnessed history but played a key role in shaping it, and we hope you enjoy it. About Dr. Clarence B.

Over the last year, we've heard growing demand across the planet to change the narrative on issues from racism, poverty and capitalism - to climate change, health care and biodiversity. But what, exactly, does that mean? What are narratives? How do they influence the way we live and work? And how the heck do you change one?That's what we discuss in this episode, with Sean Gibbons, CEO of The Communications Network. His organization connects, gathers, and informs leaders working in communications for good in order to advance the missions and impact of foundations and nonprofits. Before joining the Network, Sean held senior positions at several policy think tanks in Washington and worked as an award-winning news producer for CNN. If you have any interest in social change, you need to hear what Sean has to say. Not only does he share some incredible resources with us, including the strategic toolkit Storytelling for Good (developed with the Rockefeller Foundation and Hattaway Communications), and a brand new platform for diversity, equity and inclusion – but he also tells an amazing story of how - exactly - social change leaders used stories to change the narrative on a global human rights issue - marriage. The Communications Network has some terrific resources - it's definitely worth checking out. And, if you know of any social good organizations who did amazing work to make a difference this year, Sean invites you to nominate them for the Clarence B. Jones award.

She went back to school, studied social work, and ended up with a part-time office manager job at a new organization called A Step Ahead Chattanooga, whose mission was to provide free reproductive health care to women who weren’t ready to become pregnant.

Intro by Dr. Clarence B. Jones.

In 2018, Desmond Meade helped pull off the unthinkable. He united Florida voters by leading the campaign to pass Amendment 4, a grassroots citizen’s initiative that restored voting rights to over 1.4 million Floridians with past felony convictions. The initiative passed by nearly thirty percentage points – a rout in a state that is famous for being split down the middle. The following year Desmond was named one of Time Magazine's 100 most influential people in the world. In October of 2019, Desmond received the Clarence B. Jones Impact Award from the Communications Network. The award is presented to a leader who has used strategic communications and data to demonstrably elevate and advance issues, influence attitudes and beliefs, and inspire action in pursuit of social change. In this special edition of Let’s Hear It, we present Desmond’s acceptance speech, which co-host Eric Brown called one of the “most exciting and meaningful twenty-seven minutes I have ever experienced.” Desmond tells the story of his own struggles with addiction, incarceration, and redemption, and leaves us all with an extraordinary lesson about how to unite people across their differences. You absolutely, positively don’t want to miss this episode.
