Sorry, I don't know how to embed these kind of videos, but please click the links and watch the interviews where you can listen to students from Morehouse and Spelman talk about the primary race. It's nice to see young black folks on tv who aren't dancing, singing, or being arrested. Big ups to MSNBC for visiting my alma mater!
Follow the links below to view the interview with Morehouse College President, John Silvanus Wilson.

(11,833 posts)I'm not great at getting them to work properly. I'll leave what I copied & pasted here. Maybe someone who is better at it will see this and figure out how it can be shared here. I love hearing from these students at Morehouse & Spelman.
What you're saying in your post, I noticed that too when I watched some live feed of local channels in Baltimore. The people interviewed by the local news stations, much more diverse than the makeup of the national news stations, were exactly like you're talking about: way more thoughtful interviewees providing a broader picture of what's going on.

This was such a great video. Those guys are incredible speakers. Morehouse did good.
