A recent Government Accountability Office study in 2016 found over five years, the federal government spent more than $5 billion on advertising. But, Black-owned businesses received only $51 million, that’s about 1.02-percent. Congressman Hank Johnson calls out the Biden administration for its lack of business with black-owned media & advertising firms. He’ll join us to explain why he sent a letter to address the issue.

A black Texas woman has her leg broken by a cop for trespassing in a Oklahoma hotel she was a registered guest. She and her attorney, Damario Solomon-Simmons, will be here to tell us about the case.

March 7, 1965, is known as Bloody Sunday. Sunday, hundreds were in Selma to commemorate the day that changed the civil rights movement. We’ll have a recap of the events, and Miguel Cardona, the Secretary of Education, and I talked about yesterday; I’ll show you what he had to say. I traveled to Selma with Vice President Kamala Harris. You’ll see my interview with her.

Plus, in our Fit, Live Win Segment. Yoga with an African twist.
