THE BLACK BAR LAUNCHES – NEW SITE RAISES THE BAR ON BLACK COMMENTARY
The BLACK BAR (www.theblackbar.net) will launched on Tuesday, February 22nd at 3pm (est). “I have been watching Black social commentary over the social media sites for some time. I felt that it was time to harness the power and compassion of many of these writers by getting us to collaborate and posting our commentary in one location,” says Kenneth Braswell; creator of the THE BLACK BAR and the 2011: Year of Responsible Men campaign.
There is no shortage of social commentary on the web today; however its rare that the most popular commentary comes from that of grass-roots leaders. This leadership labors in the field of our community each day. Through the BLACK BAR they will provide a personal perspective of the struggles and solutions needed to curve the tide of Black America’s social ills.
The BLACK BAR is not a replacement of existing sites and commentary; but an attempt at giving voice to A NEW BLACK LEADERSHIP. Our writers are respectful of the shoulders to which we stand, but anxious in proving that its time for a change in strategy; led by the work; then followed by the voice.
