AV Up Close: Gary McCollum

Do you ever wonder what an African American person in the public eye is really like? What's important to him or her? How does he or she navigate being black in America? What would he or she do about the heavy issues that plague the African American community like drugs, gangs and police violence? What makes her laugh? Him cry? And did he or she ever think they would wind up a public figure in the first place? Well, we decided at Another View that it would be great if we could hold some one-on-one intimate conversations with people in the spotlight. We're calling the series "Another View Up Close"...and our first guest is Mr. Gary McCollum. Join us for an intimate conversation with Gary, a self-described husband, father, minister and businessman - in that order. He has recently added "author" to the list - his new book is called "I Still Do". You may know Gary as the former Senior Vice President and General Manager of Cox Communications Virginia Region or as a former candidate for Virginia State Senate.
