CONVERSATIONS IN BLACK

In the last decade Black Americans have gone from exhilaration and hope with the election of Barack Obama to the malaise and fear of the Trump presidency. Both Administrations serve as tacit examples of the gains and regressions of minorities. From issues such as a burdensome relationship with the police to the old adage last hired, first fired, people of color continue to face a mountain of challenges that block the path to total equality. In CONVERSATIONS IN BLACK, Gordon - a skilled interviewer - explores and debates the tactics used to secure Black America's rightful place in the home of the brave. Through expansive dialogs with our nation's most important black leaders, Gordon will discuss the critical questions facing African Americans today and explore where people of color find themselves in today's charged political and social climates. In the wake of America seeing a resurgence in overt racism and many believing the country's leader is stoking the flames of division, Gordon and others take on critical questions and explore answers surrounding where people of color find themselves in today's charged political and social climate. CONVERSATIONS IN BLACK will serve as a blueprint for African-American leadership in a divisive and ever complicated America. In spite of slavery, Jim Crow, a prison to pipeline system, and all the other injustices African-Americans have faced, there is a deep connection and loyalty to each other and the country, and through strengthening the politics, finances, and advocacy of people of color, victory will be revealed again and again.
