No Matter Where in The U.S., BlackCityInfo.com Know's What's Going On!




To whom it may concern,
My name is Erika Delfini, and I work with Al Roker Entertainment and WWTV. We're independent TV production companies based in New York. We specialize in factual entertainment, and we're currently developing a documentary TV series that follows an African American family owned business. We hope to find an outstanding group of larger than life, dynamic individuals who are talented and passionate about their work. Ideally, that work is visual in nature - for example, a family owned accounting firm is less visual than a custom-car shop or bridal salon or wood workers; otherwise, we're open to just about anything!

I wondered if you could recommend anyone who might know of such businesses, and if it might be possible for you to email our casting call to your membership or include it in your newsletter?

If you'd like to know more about us and our work, visit www.roker.com

I appreciate you time, if there are any other questions I can answer and if you would like to learn more about the project you can email me at erikadelfini@gmail.com, or call me on my cell at 845.300.4812.

best,

Are you a pawn in your own demise?
by Samuel


For years we have heard the slogans. Take back our country, or Make America what it used to be. What is the real meaning of these sayings?
Make America Great Again?

The meaning is actually very real and the plan, formulated by the Republican party is very much in motion. The premise is simple, use the popular vote to disenfranchise the minorities until there is, once again is a super majority of white, Anglo- Saxon conservative Republican males.

Explaining How It Was Growing Up In Cherry Valley, Arkansas.

(Knoxville, TN)  population of blacks is actually smaller than your statistics show.
Blacks Living in Knoxville, Tennessee
Blacks make up less than 7% of the population and 82% of the drug arrests here, how is this even possible? They try to keep all blacks in East Knoxville and you rarely hear about any of the crimes in East Knoxville.

ATLANTA, GEORGIA

is the most populous city in the U.S. state of Georgia. According to the 2010 census, Atlanta's population is 420,003. Residents of the city and its surroundings are known as "Atlantans." Atlanta is renowned for its robust but recent cultural institutions,
atlanta ga
which draw creative people and audiences to the city from throughout the Southeast for theater, the visual arts, writing and music.

During the 1960s, Atlanta was a major organizing center of the Civil Rights Movement, with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Ralph David Abernathy, and students from Atlanta's historically Black colleges and universities playing major roles in the movement's leadership.

For traditional Southern fare, one of the city's most famous establishments is The Varsity, a long-lived fast food chain and the world's largest drive-in restaurant. Mary Mac's Tea Room, where every morning workers shuck bushels of corn, wash selected greens, and snap fresh green beans by hand, has been Atlanta's Southern dining destination for more than 60 years. The city of Atlanta also has one of the highest LGBT populations per capita. It ranks 3rd of all major cities, behind San Francisco and slightly behind Seattle, with 12.8% of the city's total population recognizing themselves as gay, lesbian, or bisexual.
