Elie Mystal joins us to break down the latest from the high court. The MAGA Attack on voting rights faces a crucial setback as a federal judge intervenes to stop states from using software developed by immigration enforcement to review their voter rolls, which voting rights groups say would have resulted in unconstitutional voter purges. The family of Kohen Wiley, the one-year-old black boy shot and killed by police in a Walmart parking lot in Mississippi has announced funeral services will be held this coming weekend. The announcement comes as civil rights attorney Ben Crump demands video evidence in the case and has ordered an independent autopsy of the boy. The Senate passed a new, bi-partisan housing bill which makes it easier to construct new homes and helps ensure they can be purchased by families, not corporations. With the legislation now headed to the House of Representatives, the president of the National Association of Real Estate Brokers will join us to analyze what impact these measures could have for black homeowners nationwide. In Ohio, a police officer has been placed on leave after bystander and body camera video show him kneeling on top of a 15-year-old girl following an altercation at a Juneteenth Festival last weekend.

Congressman Glenn Ivey and former Congressman G.K. Butterfield will be here to explain the Johnson Amendment.

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.

5.12.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered:SCOTUS Clears Ala. Black District Cut. Racist ‘Cotton-Picking’ Attack on Jeffries. Trump Competency Questions Grow The Supreme Court's conservative majority has cleared the way for Alabama to revert to a congressional map that includes only one majority-Black district, eliminating Congressman Shomari Figures' seat. I'll speak with him about his commitment to fight for his position. In South Carolina, lawmakers are considering a proposed congressional map that would remove a Democratic-leaning seat currently held by Representative Jim Clyburn. Virginia Representative Jen Kiggans, a white Republican, is facing backlash for agreeing with a conservative radio host who urged Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries to get his "cotton-picking hands off Virginia." We will also examine the historical reasons the Black unemployment rate has consistently been higher than the overall unemployment rate, even during periods of economic strength. The competency of Donald Trump, the twice-impeached and criminally convicted former president, is being questioned once more. He recently called a Black reporter an offensive name and fell asleep during an Oval Office event.

Calif Gov Race The GOP is at war with Black America, and right now, the battlefield is redistricting. In Alabama, the state House of Representatives has passed a bill that would allow for a new special primary if the Supreme Court permits the state to reuse its 2023 redistricting plan. I will speak with a state lawmaker about what's happening there. In Tennessee, the Republican-led legislature has approved a new congressional map that dismantles the state's only majority-Black district.
