Join us for this post-election roundtable discussion with Jeremy Scahill, author of the award winning book, Blackwater: The Rise of the World’s Most Powerful Mercenary Army; Dedrick Muhammad, Senior Organizer and Research Associate for the Institute for Policy Studies; Tracy Van Slyke, Program Director of The Media Consortium; and James Thindwa, Executive Director of Chicago Jobs with Justice.

Panelists offer their thoughts on race, media, war and the economy in the immediate aftermath of the presidential election. What will a post-Bush administration mean for America and what should be at the forefront of the next president’s agenda? Does America’s new leader fit the bill?

This event is co-sponsored by The Public Square, The Mansfield Institute for Social Justice and Transformation, Roosevelt University’s Department of Political Science and In These Times.

Recorded Thursday, November 06, 2008 at Roosevelt University-Congress Lounge.
