CNN Black in America 2 Celebrates Marriage

Last night was Part 2 of the CNN special Black in America 2. There were several stories that dealt with healthcare and media related issues. The special also examined black marriage and how marriage has also been permanently minimized in the black community, but they highlighted Nisa Muhammad who heads Wedded Bliss a foundation dedicated to the preservation of marriage. Wedded Bliss sponsors 8 week boot camps that allow couples in trouble the opportunity to work through their issues. I have been critical of some aspects of the Black in America series because it has seemingly concentrated on the negative aspects of the black community. It was refreshing last night to see the focus on black couples committed to their children and committed to their marriages. The black community is full of diversity and sadly this segment is rarely highlighted so I applaud CNN for concentrating on the positive.
