The Black List
http://reviews.aalbc.com/the_black_list.htm

I'm suprised no one mentioned this HBO Broadcast:

"prominent African Americans of various professions, disciplines and backgrounds, offer their own stories and insights on the struggles, triumph...

The broadcast featured our very own Zane, Toni Morrison and a variety of other folks.

I enjoyed the broadcast. It was a refreshing reprieve from the CNN garbage.

The best thing about it is that there was no interviewer posturing, tying to show how smart they were, or trying to be a celebrity themselves -- it was the just the interviewee.

Um...I've been hyping this program all over these boards. LOL I started a thread a while back, too. You're right--it was quite refreshing. I loved how you never heard the interviewer's questions but the subjects just spoke for themselves.

Sorry I missed that Yvettep. But that was agood catch. I was very apprehensive about the progrsam. It was a good mix of people. They are even having a contest where regular folks (non celebrities) will be interviewed. I think that is brilliant as some of our best minds are not rich and or famous.

Troy, all: There are several promo clips from the program on YouTube--just search for the name of the documentary from the YouTube site. (Note that these are just a small piece from a handful of interviews--all of them lasted several minutes.) Also, here is a link for the contest you mentioned: http://www.whosonyourblacklist.com/
