*The Rev. Jesse Jackson, Cornel West and Minister Louis Farrakhan were among the religious leaders who joined Tavis Smiley in Chicago to record a broadcast on the African American Agenda, reports Gospel Today.com.
The “We Count” event is scheduled to appear on the C-Span network on Monday, March 29, 2010 at 8:30 PM and takes place amidst a growing controversy among African American leaders regarding the correct posture that Blacks should take toward the president and his hesitancy to spearhead a Black Agenda.
