This event aims to bring students, faculty, staff, and members of the larger Pittsburgh community together for an afternoon of discussion about the prospects for African American empowerment and community development during the emerging era of Barack Obama, the first United States President of African descent. Dr. Henry Louis Taylor of the State University of New York-Buffalo will focus on the importance of local black communities forging their own community development strategies as a means of positioning their communities to take advantage of urban policies that will flow from the Obama administration. A brief film clip and panel discussion on the same theme will follow.
