A black bourgeoisie perspective on U.S. politics
What if Martin Luther King had had a website and a blog?
17 Aug 2006 Author: Cheryl Contee (Jill Tubman)Meet New York Times Bestseller Tavis Smiley — the most popular African-American leader today that you, non-Black person, have probably never heard of. Smiley just re-launched his website based on his book/phenomenon The Covenant with Black America. It’s pretty cutting-edge — there are toolkits, signups, even a blog. Tavis Smiley is a man to watch.
What Is the Covenant with Black America?
It is a national plan of action to address the primary concerns of African Americans today. As we move toward the national elections of 2006 and 2008, Black Americans are entitled to have questions answered and visions shared of where our leaders want to take this country and a blueprint for how we get there.
