On Tuesday, October 21, 2008, New Voice Youth Group hosted their second intergenerational conversation.  During the first conversation held in the month of September, the group discussed issues such as perceived generational gaps between elder and younger generations in the African-American community as well as education, economics, and community building.

The pertinence of the upcoming 2008 elections was the central focus of the second conversation. All were in agreement that the intergenerational dialogue must continue and that there is important community work that must be done now and post election time.

The first of three proposed Black and Brown conferences to be held across North Carolina was an extraordinary success.  On October 3rd and 4th 2008, more than 250 people, mainly from the central region of North Carolina, converged on Genesis Baptist Church in Greensboro for two challenging and creative days of Black/Brown unity building.
