The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights

Tonight CNN will air its second primetime investigative report on the current state of Black Americans with its documentary "Black in America 2." The special airs in two parts tonight and tomorrow night on CNN at 8:00 p.m. ET.  The first "Black in America" aired last summer.

The documentary will be hosted by award-winning journalist Soledad O'Brien – who was honored by LCCR for her work covering Hurricane Katrina.  It will shine a light on Black Americans who are developing solutions to problems that plague Black communities like Dr. Lisa Newman, a surgeon at the University of Michigan, who is studying the role African ancestry might play in a certain kind of highly aggressive breast cancer, and Steve Perry, an Hartford, Conn., teacher who founded a magnet school that sends every single one of its graduates to college.
