CNN's Black In America 2 (Part 1)

I hope everyone had an opportunity to watch Soledad O'Brien's report "Black In America 2". I thought that as a whole it was very well put together and I found it to be inspirational. I remember that after the first installment, a few people voiced their dissapointments and it appears as though there was a very conscious effort to delve a little deeper into the "Black experience"- depicting the broad economical and social diversity among us as well as some of the challenges that African Americans face in this country. That is not always acknowledged or recognized. I think it was important that the stereotypes of African Americans were addressed, and they were. They were also dispelled in the piece. O'Brien also addressed to inner conflicts among blacks who struggle and those who are more affluent. I'm interested as to what everybody thought of the report, but I'm will set aside some time this evening to watch part 2 of the series. I'm looking forward to it!
