And we're going to be talking about black history and women's history, a combination of last month and this month's themes. I want to begin by saying that we will have an opportunity to discuss the state of black women in America and pay tribute to African American women in our communities. We felt it befitting, as we recently celebrated Black History Month in February and currently are in the midst of Women's History Month. Tonight we will begin by highlighting some of the findings from the recent study of 'The State of Black America,' released by the Urban League, and discussing some of the wonderful women from our own congressional districts.
