We’re at the political roundtable to discuss some of the top stories of the week. On deck tonight, the Nolan Wells’ grand jury decision. A Black man committed suicide by hanging in Prince George’s County. The Trayon White bribery trial goes to the jury. President Trump bans CNN, MS NOW and Politico from White House coverage. The Congressional Black Caucus legislative conference impact. The Kennedy Center controversy and Lonnie Bunch leaving the Smithsonian Institution.

The general election will be held on Tuesday, November 3rd. In Prince George’s County, there is only one candidate on the ballot for county executive, Democrat Aisha Braveboy after winning in the June primary. But she is not the only candidate. Independent candidate Tanya sweat is still running as a write-in candidate and is offering an alternative to Braveboy. We sit down with candidate Tonya Sweat to talk about the battle to get her name on the ballot and why she’s still running.

We’re celebrating a decade of a place that has become much more than a museum. The Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture is marking its 10th anniversary next week under the theme “Welcome Home: Our Legacy Continues.” The Reunion takes a look back at the past 10 years of stories, history and impact while forging ahead to the legacy still being written. We’ll talk about the celebrations, the journey, and what’s next for the place we fondly call “Blacksonian”.
