BEYOND THE HEADLINES
February 15, 2015
African American Roundtable
Guest Hosted by ABC7's Ama Daetz



Today's special edition celebrates the achievements, history, and culture of African Americans in the Bay Area. The month of February has been officially recognized as Black History Month by every U.S. President since 1976, but we believe this conversation should be shared all year long.



ABC7 News Anchor Ama Daetz is guest host of this episode of Beyond the Headlines. She joins local leaders to talk about some of the current issues affecting Bay Area African American communities.
