Black in America on CNN 7/23 and 7/24 -

Did you know that companies in the US have said they would hire a white man with a felony record and no high school education BEFORE they would hire a black man with NO criminal record and a 4-year degree?

On July 23rd at 9 p.m. and July 24th at 9 p.m., CNN will premier a series, 'Black in America with Soledad O'Brien' and it is our personal challenge to you, to watch this show WITH your family and friends uninterrupted. The aforementioned statistic and many others will be revealed during the series.

On Monday the series will focus on Women and Families and Tuesday is dedicated entirely to the plight of the Black Man in America. For more information:
