Award Winning Journalist Ed Gordon (President of Ed Gordon Media) will host a thought-provoking town hall discussion about the dynamics of fatherless households in America; particularly within African-American and Latino urban communities.
The distinguished panel consists of James Mtume (Grammy Award-Winner and Activist) Chris Broussard (Sports Analyst, ESPN) Dr. Obery M. Hendricks (Professor of Biblical Interpretation, New York Seminary) Tyrone Muhammad (Director, Cotton Funeral Home) Frederica Bey (Executive Director WISOMMM Holistic Preschool Center) and Kevin E. Taylor (Co-Pastor Unity Fellowship Church NewArk) will lend their voices and expertise in addressing single-parenting issues that are impacting employment, education, social behavior; but more importantly, lack of the male presence in homes and its relation to crime and incarceration.
“…I am so sorry that I cannot be with you today as I am out of the country…I do want you to know that I have, and still am totally committed to this issue of HIV/AIDS within our communities in numbers that are so much out numbering those in other communities throughout the USA and WORLDWIDE!!…
I am pleased that Bishop Hilliard has taken the initiative to hold this event to continue to keep information coming to all in attendance of great value. Please know that although I am not there in the flesh I am in spirit and hope when the opportunity again arises I will be able to be a part of this important forum being discussed…”
