6.17.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: NAACP Sues Musk’s xAI, Emanuel 9 Remembered, League’s Unite & Rise, InBooze Spotlight

The NAACP and the Southern Environmental Law Center have put billionaire Elon Musk's xAI on notice.  They plan to file a lawsuit against his Memphis, Tennessee, company over air pollution from the AI startup's data center.  We'll talk to the NAACP's Director of the Center for Environmental and Climate Justice about how xAI's methane gas turbines are polluting the air. 

Ten years ago today, the 'Emanuel 9' were murdered in Charleston, South Carolina. We'll talk to a victim's family member about honoring their memory, uplifting their legacy, and reflecting on what's changed and what hasn't since that night shook the soul of America.

Also tonight, a new wave of resistance is rising. The League of Women Voters has launched Unite & Rise 8.5, mobilizing 8.5 million Americans to push back against anti-democratic policies. CEO Celina Stewart is here to break it down and tell you how to plug in.

And in tonight's Marketplace, we're drinking smarter! You'll meet the founder of InBooze, the all-natural cocktail kit company, shaking up your happy hour with flavor and wellness.
