Let's Talk About It - The Mandela Legacy & Why the DR Strips its Citizenship

Join me tonight as we discuss the life and legacy of former South African President and human rights advocate Nelson Mandela.  Truly his life has inspired so many across the globe to embrace a non-violent agenda to foster compromise in the face of adversity. His passion for his country and its citizens transcends the brutality that he and many black South Africans faced.   So, tune in as my guest the Rev. Grayland Hagler, the Senior Minister of Plymouth Congregational United Church of Christ, in Washington, D.C., and National President of Ministers for Racial, Social and Economic Justice (MRSEJ) shares his thoughts and experiences about President Mandela. Rev. Hagler is also known for his advocacy when he led the Free South Africa Movement to force divestiture of dollars from the support of the Apartheid system. He will discuss the legacy of the legendary figure. In addition, he will address the secret abolishing of citizenship for Haitians in the Dominican Republic. The Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) has issued a public statement expressing concern for the action. "The fear of the Dominican Republic, of being pulled down to the level of Haiti economically and the "blackening" of their country, has been an obsession of Dominican politicians for well over a century," Attorney David Abraham said.  Join us for this eye opening discussion.  Join us on Facebook and Twitter.
