One year after the inauguration of the first African-American
President, MSNBC will present "Hope and Fear in Obama's America," Jan.
18, 2010, 10 p.m.-12 a.m. ET, an extended discussion surrounding race
and post-racial identity in America. Moderated by "Hardball's" Chris
Matthews and featuring radio host Tom Joyner, live from Texas Southern
University in Houston, Texas, this two-hour special event on Martin
Luther King Day will explore some of the most pressing and provocative
issues connected to race and race relations in the U.S.
"Hope and Fear in Obama's America" will discuss the progress we've made in the United States and the challenges we continue to face around racial equality, addressing issues ranging from whether there is such a thing as generational colorblindness, to the "burdens of the first," and whether there are a unique set of expectations and challenges attached to being the first to break a racial barrier. Panelists and guests will be announced at a later date.
