George,
i don't wish to be repetitive,but you see 1)I am older than you; 2)I am not in academia 3)I have spent more than 40 years in the criminal justice system,i am a criminal defense attorney and the masses don't go to family reunions and do not know what is available;but they are the face of the African American Community.They are the ones who need to know of the true Black narrative and we have to figure out some way to get it to them.They are not going to either universities or to family reunions.
Glad that you have joined in.The more the merrier to solve a problem. discussion and or analysis leads to solutions.
