BRAVO! BRAVO!
It seems like events like this are long overdue! Academics have long taken up this subject in research, but the topic really needs to hit the pop culture and mainstream society.
I do tend to think this issue is not just limited to blaming the record companies, cable stations, etc. This issue, and related ones such as rape and aggression in the black community, are ones that call upon everyone (schools, parents, churches, record labels, civic-social groups, broadcast & cable, etc.) to get involved and take responsibility.
I hope this event @ Spelman is the first of many on that campus and others across the country. Job well done and the women of Spelman should be proud.
