State of the Black Union 2005

Readers of this blog, in particular, will be familiar with Tavis Smiley. He is one of the most prominent African-American media personalities today, and quite an activist. Every year, Tavis hosts a gathering called the "State of the Black Union" with major Black leaders and leaders of opinion. The event is carried live on C-SPAN and I am watching it right now. More thoughts as they come to me.
