Roland Martin Out At CNN on April 6th!

Strollin’ with Roland. Roland Martin’s contract at CNN will not be renewed when it ends in the first week of April. Martin is leaving the network on April 6th due to a decision made by new president Jeff Zucker . “Last day at @cnn is April 6,” Martin tweeted. In response to a question from a follower regarding the decision, Martin wrote, “new boss wants his own peeps.” Martin, also a syndicated columnist and analyst for TV One, was suspended from the network last year after writing controversial tweets that were interpreted as homophobic by the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation. “In my final days at CNN when I’m on the air, I will to do as the Tuskegee Airmen did, fight to the last hour, last minute, last second, for what is right . . .,” Martin recently commented.
