Description

Nolan Wells went out with three white friends on a remote Mississippi island. They came back, his phone was found, and his family is now demanding answers after Nolan was found dead. 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 The family of 18-year-old Nolan Wells is demanding answers after the Black teen was found dead on Horn Island in Mississippi following a Fourth of July weekend trip with three white friends. Roland Martin laid out the known facts: Nolan was last seen on the island, his cell phone was found, his friends returned home, and no clear public explanation has been given about what happened. The RMU panel focused on the unanswered timeline, the loss of valuable evidence, and the need for the family to secure independent legal, forensic, phone, and autopsy support. The segment stressed that speculation cannot replace facts, but the known circumstances raise serious questions that authorities and the people who were with Nolan must answer. #RolandMartinUnfiltered #BlackStarNetwork #NolanWells #Mississippi #HornIsland #BlackTeen #BlackLivesMatter Black Star Network Partner: Chapter Chapter and its affiliates are not connected with or endorsed by any government entity or the federal Medicare program.

People said that racism does not exist in America, if that was 3 black boys coming back and a white boy was missing. You would have heard it on Fox News. You would have heard all these races, politicians saying all these awful things. But you're not hearing anything about this little black boy who is missing it's so sad. What is happening to this family? We need to be aware who we surround ourselves with.

One of the white kids mom is a judge in that area, and the kids in the picture all deleted their social media accounts. Its going to be another cover up, wait for it.

Years ago, I took my family to Myrtle beach, my brother came to me and said “he met some people that was going downtown and invite him to go with them.” I said “ Hell No, are you crazy? Get in the house.”

Why didn't the "Friends" report him missing ? Those people were not his friends ! Mississippi has a very, very long history of discarding Blacks like we don't matter.
