A great day for journalism. A great day for Black journalists and NABJ. He was finally asked tough questions related to a constituency deemed critical to determining the election outcome. The event made news that will last more than just one news cycle.
The backlash against our association inviting the once and possibly future leader of the free world for a long overdue public Q&A, about his policies regarding and relationship with Black America, was astounding and disappointing.
The five-day convention drew record-breaking attendance - nearly 4,400 people - and solidified NABJ's standing as hosting the world's largest annual gathering of journalists.
For many of our members, this presidential campaign marks their introduction to the association having consistently invited the major party nominees every four years.
