Dr. Wes Bellamy joins Niele today to discuss the stories shaping politics, policy, and Black communities.

We discuss a new report on the economic state of 22.7 million Black men and boys, including college enrollment, unemployment, wages, and the racial wealth gap.

Daria Dawson, executive director of America Votes, joins the show on the 61st anniversary of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to discuss voting access, political representation, and what the Supreme Court’s Louisiana v. Callais decision could mean as states reconsider political maps.

Plus, the show looks at historic drops in violent crime in several major cities and Puerto Rico’s worsening water crisis.
