2.20.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Colleges Cut DEI Ties. Supreme Court Blocks Trump Tariffs. Roy Cooper Senate Bid

The rollback of DEI programs under the thug Trump administration continues -- and now more than a dozen colleges are quietly cutting ties with organizations that help students of color. I'll speak with the President of the PHD Project, one of the programs affected, later.

He helped lead North Carolina, and now, former North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper wants to flip a Republican seat in the U.S. Senate. I had the opportunity to speak with him, and we'll play that next.

The Supreme Court Strikes down on Trump's Tariffs. The president of the Black Farmers Association will join us to talk about the impacts of the ruling.

And as we continue honoring the life and legacy of Reverend Jesse Jackson, we'll hear from Civil Rights leader Ambassador Andrew Young and Rev. Dr. William Barber on what his work means for the movement today
