Not long after Donald Trump exited the stage at the National Association of Black Journalists convention in Chicago last week, I texted three faculty colleagues at the University of Florida.
A great day for journalism. A great day for Black journalists and NABJ. He was finally asked tough questions related to a constituency deemed critical to determining the election outcome. The event made news that will last more than just one news cycle.
As a former national president for NABJ, the backlash against our association inviting the once and possibly future leader of the free world for a long overdue public Q&A, about his policies regarding and relationship with Black America, was astounding and disappointing.
