We are proud to celebrate Black leaders, innovators, and artists every day of the year, both across our platforms and in our New England communities. As part of our celebration of Black History Month, Comcast partnered with TV One and NBC Connecticut to host a virtual screening to preview Part three of TV One’s four-part series called “Unsung Presents: The Decades,” which will start to air on TV One starting Sunday, February 27.
Part three of the series, which airs in April, is a 40-minute documentary that provides a music industry insider perspective of R&B and Hip-Hop in the 1990s.
The screening was followed by a panel discussion moderated by NBC Connecticut’s Leslie Mayes that explored the impact and importance of the series as it relates to diversity, equity and inclusion in our local communities.
Panelists included:
- Jason Ryan, Executive Producer at TV One and CLEOtv
- Andrew Cade, Senior Vice President of The Urban League of Greater Springfield
- Kimberly Kersey, Executive Director of The Amistad Center for Art and Culture
- Maciah Clark, Comcast RISE recipient and owner of Unknown Clothing in New Britain, CT
