11:16Now PlayingMarc Lamont Hill opens up “Black News Tonight” discussing crews assessing the damage of Hurricane Ida, which devastated parts of Louisiana and whose remnants battered the Northeast, resulting in the death of dozens.
After Ida knocked out power in New Orleans, officials have said that power should be restored in the city next week.
Hill also provides an update on singer R. Kelly’s sex trafficking trial.
“A woman told the jury of the sex trafficking and racketeering trial that she reached a $200,000 settlement [with] R. Kelly after she accused him of giving her herpes without letting her know that he had the STD during their 2001 unprotected sexual encounter,” Hill says.
Also, Hill chats with Sheritta Stokes on Nikole Hannah-Jones launching the 1619 Freedom School, an after-school program that combines literacy with a Black history curriculum. Stokes is a co-director of the program.
All this and more on “Black News Tonight.”
