The Covenant with Black America
Watch Tonight’s Presidential Forum
Don’t forget to TUNE IN tonight (Thursday, June 28) to PBS, from
9:00-10:30pm ET. Tavis Smiley will moderate the All American
Presidential Forum on the campus of Howard University in Washington,
D.C.
Along with Tavis, three journalists of color will pose questions to the
candidates regarding the Covenant with Black America and other domestic
issues. Democratic presidential candidates Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton,
Christopher Dodd, John Edwards, Mike Gravel, Dennis Kucinich, Barack
Obama, and Bill Richardson will take part in this provocative
discussion. The candidates will be asked to address issues ranging from
education, the economy and healthcare, to Katrina relief, housing, and
the environment, among others outlined in the Covenant With Black
America.
SAVE THE DATE! The Republican Presidential Forum will follow on
September 27, 2007, on the campus of Morgan State University in
Baltimore, Maryland.
