Melissa Harris-Lacewell, Associate Professor of Politics and African-American Studies at Princeton University and the author of “Barbershops, Bibles, and BET: Everyday Talk and Black Political Thought.” She is a contributing writer at TheRoot.com and a Barack Obama supporter. She attended the Trinity United Church and Rev. Wright was also her pastor.
Adolph Reed Jr., Professor of Political Science at the University of Pennsylvania. He is the author of several books including “Class Notes: Posing as Politics and Other Thoughts on the American Scene” and “Stirrings in the Jug: Black Politics in the Post-Segregation Era.” He makes the case against voting for Sen. Obama in the latest issue of The Progressive magazine.
