Some of the panelist included: Cornell West, Susan L. Taylor, Vashti McKenzi (soror), Myrlie Evers-Williams, Alfred Harris (I think), Judge Mathis, and many more.

The major question that Tavis threw out there was what is the state of the black family. Many of the panelist responded by saying that there is a lack of CHRIST in the home, and the lack of FATHERS in the home, and the lack of DISCIPLINE in the home.

Judge Mathis made it pretty clear when he said that men need to MAN UP. He's sick of the brothas not working, hustling, having multiple children by multiple women, etc. It's time for them to become responsible, educated men.

Soror McKenzie said that women need to start babying the men. And that's true. Because there aren't fathers in the home, the mothers have a tendency of babying our sons and they end up expecting that from women.

Some people said that churches need to focus more on politics and economic empowerment. One panelist in particular said that preachers need to stop preaching four Sundays out the month, and start teaching two Sundays, and preach two Sundays. On the Sundays that you teach, teach about political matters and other variety of things. I'm sure you all know that I didn't agree with her.

Those are just a few things that were discussed. Comments please!
