Summary
In The Black List, twenty-five prominent African-Americans of various professions, disciplines, and backgrounds offer their own stories and insights on the struggles, triumphs, and joys of black life in America and, in the process, redefine 'black list' for a new century. As seen in a series of incisive interviews conducted by award-winning journalist, critic, academic, and radio host Elvis Mitchell, this group exemplifies today's most accomplished, determined African-Americans, whose lives and careers form a trail of inspiration and example for people of all races. Spanning the arts, sports, politics, and business, the diverse accomplishments and lives of these remarkable individuals create a kaleidoscope of ideas and experiences, and provide the framework for a singular conversation about the influence of African-Americans on this country and on the world. The Black List is Slash, Toni Morrison, Keenen Ivory Wayans, Vernon Jordan, Faye Wattleton, Marc Morial, Serena Williams, Lou Gossett Jr., Russell Simmons, Lorna Simpson, Mahlon Duckett, Zane, Al Sharpton, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, William Rice, Thelma Golden, Sean Combs, Susan Rice, Chris Rock, Suzan-Lori Parks, Steve Stoute, Richard Parsons, Dawn Staley, Colin Powell, and Bill T. Jones
