A Father & Son come to Chocolate City to participate in the March On Washington Anniversary. We ask why they came to Washington, DC?

Two Sista's from Jacksonville FL, share with BPT what brought them to the March on Washington.

Monday, 11/10 at 7pm EST Guests: State Rep. Stacey Abrams (D-GA) and Brandon Andrews ; Topic: “The Aftermath of Apathy: What Now?” In the aftermath of the 2014 Midterm Elections, Progressive found themselves scratching their heads and asking, “What now?” Many Democrats pointed fingers and blamed everyone but themselves. From the President, Majority Leader, to the pundits, all scrambled to blame others for the devastating losses. The Democrats must take responsibility for their actions instead of attempting to blame everyone else. There is no togetherness, no responsibility, and a confused sense of direction moving forward. What happened to the MESSAGE? We asked my guests Stacey Abrams, Georgia State Minority Leader, and Brandon Andrews, Director of IMPACT, to answer the question of “What now?”

Monday, 1/19 at 7pm EST. Guest: Dr. Viola Bradford, Michael Hassell, LeVar Jones & Ifeoma Ike. Topic: “Martin Luther King Jr.: Reflections and The New Civil Rights Movement”. The Civil Rights Movement established public policies and a legacy for MLK. Today, many have forgotten the struggle but, Michael Brown and Eric Gardner reminded us that the struggle isn’t over, just the way we identify it. What policies will the New Civil Rights Movement establish? What will it do for the this generation? My guests: Michael Hassell, Dr. Viola Bradford, Ifeoma (Ify) Ike, and LeVar Jones, checked their PC at the door and opened up and spoke truth to power!

Monday, 2/23 at 7pm EST. Guest: Col. Warren Christopher (Ret.), Dr. Wilmer Leon and Darius Stanton. Topic: “Black History: Black Empowerment – Empowering Our Community for Success in a Global Economy.” The Wealth Gap is expanding, the Achievement Gap is increasing and the more you look around, the more you see things moving backwards instead of moving forward. From Civil Rights to Do I Have Rights, the picture for the future of African Americans is becoming less picturesque. The Millennial’s and generations beyond must empower themselves to succeed in this global economy. Without a laser focus on their future, another generation could be lost to the life of drugs and poverty. How do we challenge a culture of African Americans to empower themselves? My guests Col. Warren Christopher, Dr. Wilmer Leon and Darius Stanton will explore the pathway to success in this global economy

Black Pastor’s using the anointing of their pulpits, gathered in NYC to lay hands upon their heir apparent, Donald Trump. The same Donald Trump that spent five years challenging President Obama to prove his citizenship and suggested that America should never elect another African American, received the highest praise from black pastors that hailed him as the Messiah for African Americans. Tonight we asked the question, What has Donald Trump done for African Americans? How did this group of pastors become the mouthpiece for Black America? Pastors Courtenay Miller, Grant Thompson, and Bishop Jonathan Alvarado, joined us to discuss Black Pastor’s getting Trumped

Description: Today, Black America is again at a pivotal moment of truth. Racial inequality and injustices have raised their proverbial heads in the center of our misguided belief that in this millennial age, we live in a post-racial society. Not only is that not true, we’ve seen what little growth that were still left from the 1990s completely evaporated in recent years. When Congressman Joe Wilson declared “You Lie” to President Barack Obama, that signaled the turning back of the hands of time and the economic, social and political gains that many African Americans had achieved. That phrase denoted a concerted effort to bar African Americans for ever achieving economic, social, or political success in America. My guests tonight to discuss the chains of opportunity are Dr. Eddie Glaude, Lt. Colonel Warren Christopher, Andrew Duncomb and B.C. Johnson.
