Millions tuned in to hear President Donald J. Trump’s address on
Tuesday night – his first since taking office on January 20, 2025.
Four years ago, I was in the very same room; the guest of the Honorable Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-TX-30).
I appreciated her respect for the Black Press. As we prepare to commemorate
198 years of the Black Press next week, I recall her proudly taking me around, sharing my publications and introducing me to everyone.
It’s so refreshing to experience love for the Black Press, and not when you’re in trouble! She respected and held us accountable, just as we did her.
This year, I was one of millions who tuned out the remix. Instead, I was glued to
my screen watching, listening, learning and being challenged from great minds across the country and around the world, on the Black Star Network.
Any time there is something major going on, I turn to the Black Star Network because I will hear voices that other media outlets mute and I also get to support
someone who supports our communities.
Give me the information, the truth, and I can decide what steps to take.
It seems as though the media have been vilified and discredited so that minds can be manipulated and controlled.
I was so excited to see that more than 250K devices were tuned in with me on Youtube; seeking truth, fairness and accuracy. I am sure there were other platforms as well!
I applaud Black Star Network because so much goes into the work that produces
Roland Martin Unfiltered and other programming that entities with billions seem to be
incapable of making a reality.
