5.15.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: All Roads Lead to The South. Louisiana Slashes Black District. Early Vote Surge in Georgia. We are coming to you live from the heart of the civil rights movement in Montgomery, Alabama. Tomorrow, the street behind me will be filled with people from all over the country for the All Roads Lead to The South Rally. We'll discuss that more later, but here's what's coming up on Roland Martin Unfiltered, streaming live on the Black Star Network. Georgia's primary election is shaping up to be a record-breaking event. Georgia election officials report that voter turnout is already exceeding previous cycles, with more than 800,000 people having already cast their ballots. Gerald Griggs will provide insights on who is leading the race. In Louisiana, a congressional redistricting bill has been passed that will reduce the number of majority-Black U.S. House districts from two to one. I will speak with the Louisiana State Senate President Pro Tempore about this issue. A Florida State House panel has issued a rare reprimand to Representative Angie Nixon over her protest against the approved congressional map. If she is not arrested, she will join us tonight. New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand has urged HUD Secretary Scott Turner to stop discussing President Biden during a recent hearing. Additionally, a Texas police officer has been indicted for the arrest of a Black college student. We will show you the bodycam footage.

This is a serious reminder that representation, voting power, and civic participation are not side issues — they directly shape policy, accountability, and the future of our communities.
