Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut on the first day of Black History Month observing that, "Today, the war on history is being fought across the red states, with Florida and its governor, Ron DeSantis, acting as the tip of the spear." We discuss the importance of telling the truth about American history, as the erasure of Black history and more looms across America. Also in this episode, with the brother of George Floyd and the mother of Breonna Taylor in attendance, Tyre Nichols, yet another young Black life snuffed out by the brutality of police, was mourned in Memphis on Wednesday. Activists from his community share their feelings and hopes that Nichols' death can lead to lasting change. Plus, Rep. Ilhan Omar joins Joy, as Republicans continue their revenge tour, plotting to deny her a seat on the Foreign Affairs Committee. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
