Bookmark your calendars for this upcoming special/series on CNN - should
be interesting!!
Did you know that companies in the US have said they would hire a white
man with a felony record and no high school education BEFORE they would
hire a black man with NO criminal record and a 4-year degree?
On Wednesday July 23 at 9pm and Thursday July 24 at 9pm, CNN will
premier a series, 'Black in America with Soledad O'Brien' and I
personally challenge you to watch it WITH your children, especially your
sons, if you have any, uninterrupted. The aforementioned statistic and
many others will be revealed during the series.
I had the privilege of meeting with Soledad O'Brien and actually SEEING
this premier on Monday, and what I saw brought tears to my eyes and
anguish, frustration, and a sense of helplessness to my soul.
On Monday the series will focus on Women and Families and Wednesday is
dedicated entirely to the plight of the Black Man in America .
I beg and plead with you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE watch and internalize what
you see and hear; no matter HOW disturbing the information
revealed...you can (and will) thank me later. Feel free to pass this
email on or go here for more information:
