Oprah will attend the convention

According to the suntimes, Ms. Winfrey will attend the convention. She does not plan to take the stage but she will be there for Mr. Obama's acceptance speech. Perhaps when I run into her I will ask her to fund my next project retirement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Confirmed: Oprah Winfrey plans to be there when Barack Obama accepts nomination.


Last night I attended a free screening of HBO's The BlackList Volume 1. It is a films produced by filmmakers see the information below. It is a film that I highly recommend and it will leave you with a good deal of hope, something that the Black in America series did not.

Project Overview
The Black List Project was conceived of by photographer/filmmaker Timothy Greenfield-Sanders with Elvis Mitchell, public radio host and former New York Times film critic. It consists of a number of components including a film, a book, a traveling
portrait exhibition and an educational initiative. The project was produced by the media collective Freemind Ventures. The idea was to interview, film and photograph prominent African Americans of various professions, disciplines and backgrounds.
These stories and insights on the struggles, triumphs and joys of black life in this country would work toward re-defining "blacklist" for a new century in the process.
