Dollars and Sense of Blackness

Perhaps not quite as exciting sounding as these diamond dollar sign earrings look (unless you google African diaspora, as I just did), here's a worthwhile event with local residents and one of my favourite radio talk show hosts, fresh from my inbox:

WNYC and WBGO invite you to
The Dollars and Sense of Blackness
Central Brooklyn...The Economic Impact

Join us as we convene engaged African Diaspora citizens from economic, political, and community groups in Crown Heights and Bedford-Stuyvesant to discuss the economic issues directly affecting Central Brooklyn. Share insights with your colleagues and host Brian Lehrer and participate in a live, on-air recording of The Brian Lehrer Show in WNYC's The Jerome L. Greene Performance Space.
