On tonight's episode of The Joy Reid Show, we celebrate the 100th anniversary of Black History Month. Our coverage includes the unfolding Pam Bondi assault on the First Amendment as yet another person has been indicted: the young man who had helped Don Lemon coordinate his coverage of the Minnesota church protest. We also speak to journalist Paola Ramos as well as a former border patrol agent, Raul Rodriguez, to try and unpack why Latino federal agents over-police their own. And, of course, as its Moral Monday, friend of the show Bishop William Barber comes to preach the house down about lies White Christianity tells about the faith.
