President Obama read an unusually personal, handwritten statement about the George Zimmerman verdict on Friday, reflecting on his personal experiences with race and justice in America. This week the Sunday shows attempt to delve even deeper into the issue, continuing a dialogue about the next step in race relations for America.

Marc H. Morial, president of the National Urban League, and Representative Marcia L. Fudge, Democrat of Ohio, will be on NBC’s “Meet the Press” to discuss the verdict. They will be joined by radio host Tavis Smiley, Michael Steele, former chairman of the Republican National Committee, and Charles J. Ogletree, professor at Harvard Law School.

CNN’s “State of the Union” will have Representative Xavier Becerra, Democrat of California, and Representative Cedric L. Richmond, Democrat of Louisiana, weigh in on the matter. Senator John McCain, Republican of Arizona, will offer his take on the country’s involvement in Syria and sexual assault in the military.

For a look at Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr.’s statements about Stand Your Ground-style laws in America, “Fox News Sunday” will talk with Dr. Benjamin Carson, a neurosurgeon and rising conservative star, and Representative Donna Edwards, Democrat of Maryland.

Both Fox and NBC will follow up their Trayvon Martin coverage with the week’s other major headline: the city of Detroit filing for bankruptcy. Kevyn D. Orr, the city’s emergency manager, will be on “Fox News Sunday,” and Gov. Rick Synder of Michigan will be on “Meet the Press.” Mr. Snyder will also appear on CBS’s “Face the Nation.” ABC’s “This Week” will go one-on-one with Mayor Dave Bing of Detroit.

Later, “Face the Nation” will sit with Speaker John A. Boehner to discuss the grasp he and other leaders have over House Republicans in the wake of their 39th vote trying to repeal the health care law.

Senator Ted Cruz, Republican of Texas, will also appear on “This Week” to talk about the future of the Republican Party and a potential comeback for the party in the 2016 elections.

Telemundo’s “Enfoque” will air an immigration reform special live from the National Council of La Raza annual conference in New Orleans. The program will feature interviews with prominent leaders from the Latino community, including Cecilia Muñoz, the director of the White House domestic policy council, Janet Murguía, N.C.L.R. president, and the actress Eva Longoria.

Representatives Steve King, Republican of Iowa; Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Republican of Florida; Joe Garcia, Democrat of Florida; and Nydia M. Velázquez, Democrat of New York, will be on Univision’s “Al Punto.”

Representative Henry A. Waxman, Democrat of California, will appear on C-SPAN’s “Newsmakers” to discuss the health care law and the Keystone XL pipeline.

Representative Jeb Hensarling, Republican of Texas, will discuss the Protecting American Taxpayers and Homeowners Act on Bloomberg’s “Capitol Gains.”
