On today's "In the News" roundtable, Brian Becker,  Esther Iverem, Nicole Roussell and Walter Smolarek discuss how people in  Cuba and their supporters around the world are stepping up  mobilizations in defense of the country’s independence as the U.S.  government announces more sanctions. They also discuss the legacy of  civil rights legend Bob Moses, the renewed spread of COVID across the  country, and more.
