I would love to join and also lead a panel if needed to discuss the Kerner Commission. The commission has been a part of some of my research and I think it would be nice to revisit the topic as to the questions of have things improved? We have evidence in the media and journalism that it really hasn't changed that much...we are still divided and we still report on the stereotypical....African Americans in sports, entertainment and crime. Please let me know if others are interested in this topic and a panel.

Thank you, 

Janice
