This week on SalonTV: New Orleans mayor, “Full Frontal with Samantha Bee,” Roxanne Shanté and more
The mayor of New Orleans, Mitch Landrieu, will appear on SalonTV this week to talk about his approach for bringing the people of New Orleans together, and what led to his decision to remove Confederate monuments from the city of New Orleans, which is the subject of his new book “In the Shadow of Statues: A White Southerner Confronts History.”
Two new Netflix projects centered around hip-hop will stop by, including Sacha Jenkins of “Rapture,” an eight-episode documentary series spotlighting the lives of Nas, Dave East, T.I., Rapsody, Logic and more, and legendary MC Roxanne Shanté and the actor who plays her in a new biopic “Roxanne, Roxanne,” Chanté Adams. The film is co-produced by Forest Whitaker and Pharrell Williams and centers on Shanté’s life in the Queensbridge Projects in NYC and her rise to rap star.
Get ready to laugh with Ashley Nicole Black and Amy Hoggart, correspondents from “Full Frontal with Samantha Bee.” They’ll discuss their one-hour Puerto Rico travel special airing on TBS on March 28. Plus, what does everyone in the modern world need to know? Renowned psychologist Jordan B. Peterson presents his latest book, “12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos,” which attempts to answer it through scientific research.
