You're Invited to Hampton University's 36th Annual Conference on the Black Family March 19-21, 2014

Come join leaders from media, entertainment, politics and education, all convening on Hampton University's beautiful waterfront campus to discuss this year's theme, "ESSENTIALLY BLACK: Media and the Modern American Family." We will focus on the evolving face of families in America, and we'll explore how the convergence of race and ethnicity, untraditional relationships and media coverage across multiple platforms are together impacting the modern family. Moreover, we'll explore bedeviling issues such as crime and gun violence, we'll offer insight and advice on enhancing the health and wellness of our families, and we'll unwind and enjoy live entertainment from After 7! Featured speakers and guests include Salamander Resorts CEO and Black Entertainment Television co-founder, Sheila Johnson; Michelle Miller of CBS News; National Urban League president Marc Morial; author and journalist Dr. Ian Smith; ABC News Chief National Correspondent Byron Pitts; ESPN's NBA analyst Chris Broussard; Inside Edition's April Woodard; the producers of the television reality show, "Preachers of L.A.," and many more!
