TV Picks: CNN Presents: Black In America

CNN will be airing a series called Black in America , its very relevant and definitely worth watching. Lately I've noticed more open commentary about race and race-relations in this country than ever before. Which is great, I encourage and personally I think its long overdue.

On Wednesday, July 23rd CNN Presents: Black in America continues with "The Black Woman & Family." Soledad O'Brien explores the varied experiences of black women and families and investigates the disturbing statistics of single parenthood, racial disparities between students and the devastating toll of HIV/AIDS. O'Brien reports on the progress of black women in the workplace and the status of the black middle class. If you're out getting fucked up like me when the show airs TiVo it.

Also don't forget to tune in on Thursday, July 24th as well as the series continues with Black In America "The Black Man". Soledad O'Brien evaluates the state of black men in America and explores the controversial topics of black men and fatherhood; disparities between blacks and whites in educational, career and financial achievement; and factors leading to the dramatic rates of black male incarceration.
