We cannot expect that a four hour show will cover a subject as extensive as Black life, any where. We need to start somewhere and why not with CNN’s series?No one can tell the whole story{ies}, everyone has astory to tell, let’s listen as much as we can to others, then write your own story. Black people are not a collective group, we are as diverse as this planet. We cannot be lumped together as one experience. My life is as different as from yours as my face is as different from yours. Write your own story, then compare it to other stories and get your picture.
