Fox Soul network won't air upcoming Louis Farrakhan speech after outcry

Fox’s Soul network will no longer air Louis Farrakhan’s upcoming speech.

The channel, which bills itself as “a live and interactive streaming channel dedicated to the African American viewer that premiered in January 2020,” announced on Monday that it will not broadcast the speech after facing backlash. Instead, it will be airing a “special program” featuring “a compilation of the most powerful speeches from the greatest black leaders and thinkers about racial relations and civil rights in America.”
