We Count! The Black Agenda is the American Agenda took
place on Saturday, March 20, 2010, at 8am (CT), on the campus of Chicago
State University at the Emil and Patricia A. Jones Convocation Center.
America has experienced its share of troubles this past year: the worst
recession since World War I; the continuing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan
with doubts about the exit plans; rising poverty in our inner cities,
suburbs and rural communities; and the disproportionate power of
corporations and special interests in Congress. In this "post racial" era,
the question needs to be asked: Is there a need for a Black Agenda? The
conversation will be moderated by
Tavis Smiley.
Panelists include Cornel West,
Bobby Rush, Louis Farrakhan, Angela Glover Blackwell,
Tom Burrell, Ron
Walters, Michael Fauntroy, Raven Curling, Dorothy Wright Tillman,
Michael Eric Dyson,
Jesse Jackson and Julianne Malveaux.
