Saturday, PBS host Tavis Smiley held a public meeting with black leaders and activists in Chicago calling on President Obama to embrace a set of policies specifically for African-Americans. Advocates for a ‘black agenda’ argue that it’s necessary to have tailored policies for blacks because the community has suffered from the recession at a disproportionate rate. While others believe that the president’s focus should not be race-based but on creating a broad agenda which will have an impact on the black community.
Georgetown’s Professor Michael Eric Dyson and Michelle Bernard, President of the Independent Woman’s Forum debated this issue on MSNBC.
