On Monday, February 19, 2007 our Mass Media/Society watched a WTVD News exclusive program entitled: "Mr. Luther King Jr, The Price of Fredom. This News program was hosted by then WTVD News channel 11 achnor Mariam Thomas. This clip was a group panel discussion with prominent African Americans in the area. They discussed many important factors within the African American community. The panel consisted of Ben Ruffin, Maceo Sloan, Melanie Wilson, and Warren Armstrong, Jr. One important factor which was mentioned during the discussion was the lack of support for black owned businesses. They discussed how blacks do not suppport their own companies. Mr. Sloan stated that most blacks are afraid to take the risk in fear of failure and having no back up plan. There were a number of important factors in regard to the African American community discussed within this forum. I found this program informative and enlighting.
