'Black in America with Soledad O'Brien' - Women and Families

Wednesday Jul 23, 2008

July 23 and July 24 at 9pm on CNN!

       

        Did you know that companies in the U.S. 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?

         

        I know we all have been getting emails to see the piece. I just want to send this along to reinforce how important it is. I also challenge you to not only watch it yourself but to encourage others also to watch it, because we clearly know what it is to be Black in America.
         

        On July 23rd at 9pm and July 24th 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.
  
      
        On Monday the series will focus on Women and Families and Tuesday is dedicated entirely to the plight of the Black Man in America.
