On this journey, “MY BLACK, MY BROWN” will encounter — and be guided by — a wide array of interesting individuals with unique and valuable perspectives on the relationship between Latinos and African Americans in the United States. We will hear these stories.
To put that relationship in its proper context…
We’ll hear from noted Latino and African American scholars from higher education, including professors of U.S./world history, psychology, sociology, political science, Chicano/Latino studies and African-American studies.
We’ll hear from Latino and African American elected officials at the local, state, and federal level, as well as current and former cabinet officials and members of government boards and commissions.
We’ll hear from Latino and African American law enforcement officers, prosecutors, defense attorneys, current and retired judges and others who spend their days navigating the criminal justice system.
We’ll hear from Latino and African American entrepreneurs, financial experts, corporate board members, current and former CEO’s of Fortune 200 companies and other business experts.
We’ll hear from Latino and African American journalists (print, television, radio, and digital), podcasters, columnists, journalism professors, radio/television hosts, media professionals and public relations specialists.
We’ll hear from Latino and African American teachers, counselors and administrators at the K-12 level, language specialists, speech therapists, education professors, and others who work in the educational system.
We’ll hear from Latino and African American actors, producers, and directors from television and film, as well as others who understand how marginalized group are typically depicted in the world of entertainment.
Finally, and most importantly, we’ll hear from everyday Americans who are Black and brown — including Afro-Latinos with a foothold in both worlds.
