A surprise

Until I saw this recent article in the New Yorker, I had no idea Tavis Smiley was such a big deal in the black community. I always thought of him as the reductive and annoying host of a show on NPR that always made me put in a CD.

But I must give him credit for being critical and demanding of Obama. That takes some guts. I will make a concerted effort to listen to his show, if it happens to be on when I'm in the car.
