Today on Sojourner Truth, our weekly roundtable. Our panelists are Dr. Gerald Horne, Laura Carlsen and Jackie Goldberg. We discuss:
The latest police killings in Minneapolis and Chicago. The Derek Chauvin trial wraps up. Did we learn anything new that we didn't witness watching George Floyd being murdered?
