But there are also those who say that developing a plan for the progress of black Americans should not be the left in the hands of one person, even if he is the President. The "Black Agenda” is the topic of discussion on the PBS show Basic Black, which you can watch TONIGHT at 7:30 p.m EST LIVE at www.basicblack.org or on channel 2 in Boston.
