CNN's Black in America 2 premieres 7/22 & 7/23. Although I was extremely disappointed in the 2008 series for various reasons, I am hopeful that this year's reported emphasis on solutions will inspire and depict a community actively engaged in it's transformation despite societal challenges.
A part of the lead up to the event is a discussion on Black Marriage. Wedded Bliss Foundation and it's founder/executive director Nisa Muhammad are featured in the documentary and on CNN today. Created to help married couples through crisis, the organization offers Basic Training for Couples which "cover the value of commitment, responsibility to the black community, psychological differences between the sexes, sexual intimacy and conflict resolution."
Check out the Black in America 2 site for conversation starters. Toady's topic: "Does a strong marriage equal a strong family" http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2009/black.in.america/
