There's a time for celebration and a time for contemplation. In this episode of The Bronze Report, we'll do both. We'll have a conversation about race, politics and religion, meet the first African-American director of a major animated feature, and celebrate the 7th anniversary of the Museum of the African Diaspora.
Barack Obama Re-Elected President
The long campaign is over and President Barack Obama is officially a 2-term president. The Bronze Report takes a look at the long, bitter, nail-biting campaign and the army of volunteers who worked behind the scenes. TBR host Barbara Rodgers talks to civil rights attorney Eva Paterson about the concerns held by many progressives, and looks at ways President Obama can address the needs of African-Americans.
Meet Director Peter Ramsey
To cap off 2012, DreamWorks released the animated feature, The Rise of the Guardians. Unbeknownst to many, an African-American directed this massive, multi-million dollar holiday blockbuster. His name is Peter Ramsey. The Bronze Report's Jan Mabry met Ramsey and talked to him about the his career and the path that led to his dream job at DreamWorks Animation.
MoAD
Hundreds of friends and supporters gathered at San Francisco's Palace Hotel to celebrate the seventh anniversary of the Museum of the African Diaspora -- or simply MoAD. TBR host Jan Mabry take us to the gala event and goes inside this unique museum -- the only museum of its kind in the world.
