BLACK IN AMERICA

"CNN Presents: Black In America": a six-hour television event that examines the complex issues, successes, and struggles of black men, women, and families."

One could not thoroughly document the history of the United States of America without including "colored" individuals. "Colored", meaning the numerous ethnicities that are classified as America's minority races. Although blacks occupy only a percentage of the minority groups, our history is one that encompasses a story all its own. Our tale reveals imprisonment, betrayal, slavery, disgust, triumph, alliance, victory, defeat, hope, and a seemingly infinite list of adjectives that are fused into an outstanding collection of history. Our journey has proved to be both painstaking and filled with jubilee simultaneously. As we continue to trek through the unforgiving American history, shedding blood, sweat and tears the whole way through, CNN pays us homage with their Special Report: Black In America. As a proud member of the hip hop community, I encourage all of you to tune in and "re-up" on a wealth of knowledge that will motivate and inspire you to adequately fulfill your niche in the world-renowned timeline of Blacks in America.
