Description
A CBS program produced by Bergen Community College titled African American Women in Suburbia. It consists of a single white DVD with the program title, date and college logo printed on it.
Moderated by Professor Maureen Ellis Davis, the program features a panel discussion on African American women in suburbia. It opens with Professor Celeste Finney providing opening remarks before turning the microphone over to interim president Dr. Jose Adames. After his remarks, Professor Finney again returns to the podium and introduces the program's moderator, Professor Maureen Ellis Davis, who in turn introduces the panelists. They include Judge Sandra Ann Robinson, Lynne Harwell Algrant, and Dr. Ursula Parrish Daniels. Some of the topics addressed in the discussion include has the move to the suburbs improved/exasperated the problems African Americans face in terms of race and class; does "double consciousness," as articulated by W.E.B. DuBois still hold true for African Americans; what does it mean that African American women seeming advance faster than African American men educationally and professionally in terms of social relations, especially marriage and family life; has the move to suburbia changed or influenced the image of African American women; how has life in suburbia impacted each of their lives; how are their lives different from their mothers'; how will the next generation of African American women will be different from the current one; what institution/organizations/activities do African American women utilize to priorities Black culture and/or social ties; where do African American women stand on the issues of women and is there Black women's movement. After the panel discussion, the moderator opens the conversation to question and answers from the audience.
