RECAP: WURD and The Root Promote a Black Policy Agenda During DNC

It was a pleasure to partner with the team at TheRoot.com to host our live broadcast, “Our Power, Our Promise: Shaping A Black Policy Agenda” during the DNC. We gathered several dozen thought leaders — some as panelists, some as moderators, some as special guests — to participate in a discussion about how to advance policies that will better the lives of African Americans in the post-Obama era.

TheRoot.com published a great recap of the event, and the video highlights are at the top of the page. Be sure to check out the slideshow too!

Our panel:

• Benjamin Crump, Esq.
• Charles Ellison (The Ellison Report, Moderator)
• John Jackson, Jr., Ph.D. (University of Pennsylvania)
• Jason Johnson, Ph.D. (The Root)
• Solomon Jones (WURD, moderator)
• Danielle Moodie-Mills (political commentator)
• Rashad Robinson (Color of Change)
