State of the Black Union
"Making America as good as its promise" was the theme of this year's tenth anniversary edition of the State of The Black Union held the last weekend in February in Los Angeles, and hosted by Tavis Smiley. The nation's premier Black thought leaders come together for a rich conversation about the issues affecting our community. Amid these treacherous economic times, speakers this year put a special focus on ways to ensure an economic recovery includes ALL Americans� In the first hour, we listen in to a conversation moderated by lawyer Raymond Brown, with insight from Professor Michael Eric Dyson, Urban League President Marc Morial, "The Hip Hop" Professor Tricia Rose, Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr., Professor Charles Ogletree, and author Iyanla Vanzant.
