Bloggers who were not used to seeing African American bloggers often misunderstood black bloggers’ message, while others downplayed the significance or urgency of their concerns, while others perceived them as generally antagonistic. “Blogging While Black” conveys the experiences of the speaker and other online bloggers and provides tips for journalists who want to make inroads in their use of the social media. Shawn Williams is an outstanding journalist who has contributed to major newspapers around the country and participated in numerous bloggers’ roundtable discussions. Williams is a graduate of Texas A&M University and a recipient of a President’s Achievement Award for 1992-1996. </span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:16.0pt'>Sunday, February 26 </span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-size:11.5pt'>6:00 p.m. The Chestnut Room, Kilcawley Center </span></i><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:19.0pt'>An Evening of Gospel JAZZ </span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt'>The precious gems of jazz and gospel, both of which are profoundly rooted in the rich heritage of the African American cultural experience, have been around for a long time.
