Today on Sojourner Truth, we discuss new developments in the court battle surrounding the Keystone XL Pipeline, the election of Mia Mottley in Barbados and the tragic killing of Frederick Tate, a Black man who was murdered in a Long Beach public park by a white man.

On Wednesday, August 15, 2018, U.S. District Court Judge Brian Morris in Montana ruled that Donald Trump’s State Department must conduct a new environmental review for the Keystone XL crude pipeline. The ruling has been considered a temporary victory for the Indigenous and environmental movement. Joining us to discuss this are Dallas Goldtooth of the Indigenous Environmental Network and Steve Volker, the attorney representing the plaintiffs against Trump's administration.

Joining us to discuss the election of Mottley in Barbados is David Comissiong, a writer, political activist and chair of the Caribbean Pan African Network.

Joining us to discuss Tate's killing is Dr. Medell Briggs-Malonson, his niece.
