Making Contact for July 14, 2009
10:30 PM - 11:00 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: "Redefining Black Power in the Age of Obama"
Does a black president equal black power? Will Obama's presidency create lasting change for African-Americans? Or will anything change at all? On this edition, we present a round table discussion, featuring three African-American community leaders, about how Obama's election, and presidency, has changed their perspective on what black power is...and what it isn't.
*Special thanks to Esther Manilla of KPFA for guest producing this program.
