On C-Span: "The State of Black America"

Check out C-Span today. They will be broadcasting live the conference on "The State of Black America." This annual gathering brings together some of the most innovative thinkers in the Black community. The event is organized by Tavis Smiley.

Update:

I have been watching...outstanding presentations! A major focus on the social issues that came into national focus as a result of Katrina.

Why this Blog?

THE KATRINA MEMO was first launched in the wake of Hurricane Katrina when issues of class, race and poverty re-emerged as major national issues.The original goal was to keep a focus on post-Katrina reconstruction and the issues that surfaced out of what was the worst natural disaster in the history of the United States. While we continue to focus on what's happening in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast we'll also explore broader social and political issues that are of concern to all Americans.
