We begin this morning in Haiti where US-backed Haitian president Jouvenel Moise was assassinated in his home overnight according to a statement released by the Haitian prime minister.

Then we come to the United States: Minneapolis, Minnesota -- where Darnella Frazier -- the young woman who captured THE George Floyd video announced in a heartbreaking social media post that she, too, has now lost someone to police violence.

Jonathan Jay, DrPH JD, Assistant Professor at Boston University School of Public Health joins us to discuss the rise in gun violence -- not only in Black communities but in the American culture generally.

Olayemi Olurin joins us to discuss the race in Buffalo, New York where incumbent mayor, Byron Brown, has launched a write-in campaign against the young sister who beat him in the primaries fair-and-square. India Walton is the young, Black Democratic Socialist who defeated the apparent-sore-loser, Byron Brown.

We go to Tennessee to discuss the sorrowful courtroom scene in which the mother of Daniel Hambrick -- the Black man killed by Officer Andrew Delke as he ran away from the officer received only 3 years for the life of her son. Her sorrowful mourns filled the room.

They are well acquainted with our sorrows.

And, finally, Rebecca Azor leads the conversation on the assassination of Haitian president Jouvenel Moise and contextualizes it for clarity on what the PEOPLE of Haiti want versus the narratives the media will put out in light of the assassination.

*** Update: Correction from today's broadcast. The wife of the Haitian president did not die in the attack and that report has been retracted. We will correct it fully on tomorrow's broadcast. ***
