Today on Sojourner Truth:Jacob Blake remains hospitalized after being shot nine times by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Donald Trump is scheduled to visit Kenosha today, September 1, over objections of the state's governor. Trump said he will not be meeting with the Blake family, but will be meeting with law enforcement. Joe Biden has said he has spoken to the Blake family. In Portland, Oregon, the killing of a far-right supporter on Saturday, August 29, got this response from Donald Trump: "Rest In Peace." Trump tweeted support for the far-right group that organized in Portland a Trump-support caravan, where people fired paint balls and pepper spray at protesters. He said they were "great patriots." Trump has consistently refused to call to account violence by his supporters, but has said that Homeland Security will set up an office to investigate "left-wing violent protesters." Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, sheriffs killed a Black man who was stopped by them while riding his bicycle. Is the nation headed for a race war? Or is the nation already in a race war? Has Donald Trump, while stoking racist sentiments and divisions, managed to shift the focus away from police killings of Black people to law and order?Our guests are Rev. Dr. Monica L. Cummings and Mic Crenshaw. Rev. Dr. Monica L. Cummings is Assistant Minister at Bradford Community Church Unitarian Universalist in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Mic Crenshaw was born and raised in Chicago and Minneapolis and currently resides in Portland, Oregon. Crenshaw is an independent hip hop artist, respected emcee, poet, educator and activist.Also, we remember Chadwick Boseman, the actor whose death at 43 years old from colon cancer shocked his fans and those who worked with him. Best known for his character as King T'challa in the worldwide blockbuster film "Black Panther," Boseman kept his illness from the world while working ill. His other notable roles include playing James Brown in "Get On Up" and Thurgood Marshall in "Marshall." Our guest is Greg Tate is a writer, musician and cultural provocateur who lives on Harlem's Sugar Hill.
