Greetings!
The country is just days away from a pivotal point in US history as we prepare to elect the 44th president. Both candidates are in the middle of a war of words heard at forums, voiced through surrogates and even from the mouth of their running mates. On Wednesday, October 15- 6 PST, Bob Schieffer of CBS News will host the final presidential debate.

In the Black will host its' first non-virtual gathering with a Debate Party at my house on that evening. I encourage you come, share your opinions, and connect with other black professionals.

Let me put in on the table-- this will be an Obama-friendly event.
