Good afternoon Roundtable Members:
Today's summit was an outstanding event, and I commend the National
Urban League and the National Leadership Conference on Civil Rights for
organizing it. For those who missed the broadcast, C-span presented it
live and will be rebroadcasting it in coming days, so check that website
for the schedule. The National Urban League has archived the summit on
its website and plans, I believe, also to offer the proceedings'
transcript there. (http://www.nul.org/).
Have a great weekend!
Maureen
