The Fear of the Black President Its unleashed and cannot be denied. What has it wrought upon us ? What is the stake for Blacks in this country ? ALFO and Janice hosts your thoughts on President Obama as the iconic punching bag of white backlash which is growing, challenging and more assertive race baiting ever seen in our time. From the mike of Rush, to the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and on the campaign trail an increasing frontal racial and ethinic assault. Will the Reclaim the Dream march be enough ? Yes we talk race with Courage and in HOPE !

PUBLIC EDUCATION IN AMERICA Community Response FAILURE not ACCEPTABLE How do we participate in the transformation of public education and build a more successful set of educational outcomes ? How do we create real strategies at the local level ? How do we block the illusion of change, and establish workable and success-based solutions for our children? Where do we fulfill our obligatio...n to be part of the solutions? I was surprisingly impressed by The Obama Education tour discussion is a great starting point with Duncan, Gingrich and Sharpton . . . but where are the educational professionals ? What is the responsibilities of community of to all children who attend public schools ? Can we place all the responsibilities and tasks on the shoulders of parents and schools ? I think not.
