My BlackInAmerica.com Profile

Why Are You Concerned About Black America:

I see the systemic attack undermining the foundation of the black family. I fully appreciate what the lack of awareness and education is accomplishing in furthering the demise and impeding the progress of blacks obtaining the "American dream". I want to lend my support and endorsement to any entity and enterprise dedicated to shedding light the plight and reality of being black in America. Until we speak out and name the problem instead of ignoring it, enduring it and/or accepting it we as a race will never overcome and actualize the dream of Dr. Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.

How Did You Find Out About This Site:

while intentionally furthering my awareness by surfing the Internet

What Would You Like To See On This Site:

I would like to see cells developed throughout America of black leaders (religious, civic, and community) developing programs to education blacks to utilize our financial power to force corporations to hire us in upper management position; and develop strength as a voting community to impact leadership and policy affecting our freedom.

Did You See The CNN Special Entitled "Black In America":

Yes

My Groups

Education is Power

Young Generals of Power

Black Buddhists in America

Spoken Word and Poetry

	Hey, I totally agree, do you think that awareness assesment is the first step. Next is education outreach to build families. Then getting families united with families across the nation? Do you think now is the time to move? Do you think you can make a difference? Tagged by Harold Causey on 07/28/2008
