Black Leaders to Assess Impact on Black America and Pan African World

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Institute of the Black World 21st Century (IBW21), led by its President Dr. Ron Daniels, will convene a national town hall meeting on the impact of the critical midterm elections on Black America and the Pan African World, on Thursday, November 10th, 7:00pm at Cramton Auditorium on the campus of Howard University in Washington, D.C.

“The 2022 midterm elections will be among the most consequential in American history and have an impact on Black people in this country and the world. They will be every bit as important as presidential elections,” said Dr. Daniels. “It is imperative that we analyze the impact of these critical elections and develop strategies to promote and protect our interests and aspirations.”

Dr. Daniels and IBW21 will also engage Howard University students as participants and respondents during the program. Dr. Julianne Malveaux, political economist and Ethnic Studies Department Dean at Cal State Los Angeles, and Roland Martin, Host and Producer of Roland Martin Unfiltered, will serve as moderators.

“Given what’s at stake for Black people in the midterm elections, I am honored to be joined by my friend Roland Martin to facilitate what will likely be the first major assessment of the
outcomes on our people by such a distinguished panel of Black leaders,” Dr. Malveaux commented.

The meeting is free and open to the public and will be live-streamed. It is expected to be carried live by a number of media partners.
