It looks like this is taking off around the world, Black people aren't going to sit back and wait on anyone to create local change.  In Dallas, Texas there is a local townhall launching in June!

Black families across the nation continue to face many challenges, the Claudia Faye Foundation launches this town hall and has hopes to transform barriers into opportunities with a town hall meeting in Dallas titled “State of the Black Family”.  This free event is designed for a community discussion on connecting the missing link between a good job, a happy family and a better life.

“State of the Black Family” will feature renowned special guests Dr. Na’im Akbar, one of the world’s preeminent psychologists; Karen Hunter, publisher and MSNBC contributor; Arthur Muhammad, director of Black Angels; Rev. Dr. Sheron Patterson of Highland Hills United Methodist Church; as well as other local community leaders and officials.

“State of the Black Family” will be held on June 11, 2010 at Highland Hills United Methodist Church (6006 Flagstaff Dr.). A special session for professionals for CEU credits will begin at 4 p.m. The general community session begins promptly at 6 p.m. with a book signing by Karen Hunter following at 7:30 p.m.
