9 a.m. — MPR News with Kerri Miller Last Tuesday marked a significant shift in American politics. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced the launch of a formal impeachment inquiry after months of pressure from some of her Democratic colleagues. The decision came in the wake of revelations that President Trump withheld military aid before calling the president of Ukraine and asking him to investigate former vice president Joe Biden and his son. The whistleblower complaint also alleges that records of the call were moved to a separate, more tightly secured system. As the impeachment inquiry picks up steam, two guests join MPR News host Kerri Miller for a conversation about how the process works. 10 a.m. — 1A with Joshua Johnson Millions of people have visited Thomas Jefferson's estate, Monticello. But it's not just a mansion... it's a former plantation: one that's working harder to tell the story of slavery more candidly. Some folks rent plantation houses for weddings and events. And some visitors say that focusing on slavery can ruin their trip. Today on 1A, plantation tourism and the history some don't want to hear. 11 a.m. — MPR News with Angela Davis We’ll have the latest edition of Counter Stories, our regular conversation about race, identity and social justice. This week, the team launches a series on missing and murdered women from communities of color.
So far this year, 19 transgender people have been murdered in the U.S. The vast majority were black women. Minneapolis City Councilwoman Andrea Jenkins joins the team this week to discuss violence against black transgender women. 12 p.m. — MPR News Presents Activist, journalist and women's rights leader Gloria Steinem, who was Kerri Miller's "Talking Volumes" guest at the Fitzgerald Theater in 2016 to talk about her memoir, "My Life on the Road."
