Do you have any coverage you

Do you have any coverage you could post?  I wasn't able to catch it. 

Not yet. I watched J.C.

Not yet. I watched J.C. Watts; Black folks need to learn how to read. I watched the beginning of Mosley and Zinn; felt like a performance. Around the half way point I left to get my copy of Harry Potter. For the record, wound up buying two more books, on on race and class, the other on class, which is why I almost hate going to bookstores...

I'm going to dead-blog the last three today after the talking heads shut up. 

The panels on grass-roots

The panels on grass-roots political thought and black identity were pretty good (the caller heard during the commencement of the grass-roots panel was inadvertently entertaining). 

I have to watch the things

I have to watch the things online...much less pleasant. Seems we had cable issues while it was supposed to be recording.

I got to the discussion of post-blackness in the arts. I kept wondering what the problem was. I can't believe people can actually be talked out of their sense of self.
