    Listened to the show. VERY interesting. So many thoughts, so little space and time to expound. I can't wait to see you on the panel tomorrow. I will be watching! Congrats, sister!

    Hey Gina! You are a doll...and a powerful one at that! ;) The livestream crashed because they didn't have enough bandwidth for all the people who tried to watch. From sometime today (Monday) until Friday, I've been told that the stream will be available on www.tavistalks.com.

    Can't wait 'til Blogging While Brown this year.

    Wow, nice move to pull the invite to be on that panel.

    Is it in on video or podcast anywhere on the internet.

    I didn't even know they had the SBU this weekend. Were there any Dick Gregory moments like last year?

    Hey Yobachi! Yes. I feel very honored to have been invited to participate in the discussions a Bloggers Panel panelist. The entire SOBU EXCEPT for the Bloggers Panel is on C-Span's website right now. The Bloggers' Panel was to be streamed live on TavisTalks.com but the system crashed. I've been promised that the stream will go live at Tavistalks.com sometime today. I look forward to seeing it myself.

    I would love to hear your feedback. Cheers!

    Hello, As a retired elementary and middle school teacher forever exasperated by and cringing over the highly ungrammatical manner America's youth, even at the college level, generally seem to express themselves, I was keenly interested to hear comments by some panelists at the 10th State of the Black Union Congress celebrating and promoting what I see as a shift in favor, emphasis, and appreciation towards the value of articulacy on the part of blacks. I hope this perceived shift is detected and pursued by today's youth.
