The much buzzed-about
Black In America series premiered on CNN last night. The day-one of the series told the story of the
"Black Woman & Family" and covered everything from education to dating "something new" outside of your race. The poignant, but vested
Soledad O'Brien guides the story by weaving in a and out of the woes and triumphs of the Rand Family, and other related characters. At times, watching part-one of the series gave me a great sense of pride, re-affirmed the hardships, but most importantly, reminded me of the "community" and the responsibility we have to one another. To say this series is well-timed is an understatement. Catch/tivo part two about the
"Black Man" airing tonight on CNN at 9PM ET.
