Hello everyone!!! It's been so long since I've login. Hope everyone is doing well and enjoy the summer! Just want to let you know that we just launched a new website/blog this week called BLACKWEDDINGS (WWW.BLACKWEDDINGS.C OM), a wedding planning and resource site for brides of color. Take a peek if you're so inclined, especially those who are thinking about taking the plunge or are already actively planning for that day. Thanks, Melissa

40 years after the assassination of Martin Luther King, a new documentary made by an African-American friend of mine looks at the issues of race and reconciliation in America today. I encourage you to promote this groundbreaking and insightful documentary to your own readers. On Friday April 11th at 21:00 (ET), MSNBC will host the premiere of a powerful docu-movie called Meeting David Wilson (www.meetingdavidwil son.com). I highly recommend that you watch this incredible film, which looks at race and the legacy of slavery in an original and moving way. This really is a story of hope and reconciliation. About the film: David Wilson, a 28-year-old African-American journalist (and a good friend of mine), journeys into his family’s past to find answers to America’s racial divide. Along the way he meets another David Wilson, a 62 year old white man who is the descendant of his family’s slave master. This discovery leads to a momentous encounter between these two men of the same name but whose ancestors were on the opposite sides of freedom. Through DNA testing, David determines his African roots and returns to his native land. Will their worlds collide? How will they deal with the gravity of their family’s histories and issues like reparations?

Thanks very much for your positive comments on your blog. I hope you will continue to read more. In fact, I've just posted a new post entitled Obama & The Hidden Black Man - I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks for stopping by the other day. I'm glad you found Living Zimbabwe interesting. Please do stop by again whenever you get the chance.
