Marc Sims and I had a fascinating conversation about the state of America and more specifically black America. Do we need an intellectual renaissance? Do we need to recalibrate our expectations in the 21st century for employment? What are the solutions to recreating a 21st century America that serves the needs of all its people?

Marc and I made an honest attempt to define the problems, and an equally honest attempt at viable solutions that are applicable across the board. We start with the premise that urban and rural America have more in common than they believe. In the tradition of Fred Hampton, creating a coalition across race with people who have similar socio-economic status is a great place to start.
