Cities? What cities?

When is the last time you heard a presidential candidate talk about cities? Exactly.

Join DMI in an (actual real live) conversation about the challenges of today's urban America, and how we put a re-envisioned urban agenda on the national landscape.

Featuring:

Byron Brown Mayor, Buffalo, New York
Thursday, March 9, 2006
7:00 - 8:30 pm
BLT Fish in New York City.

Admission is free, but if you'd like to hobnob with the Mayor as part of the VIP reception, it's $2,006.

Prior to his election, Mayor Brown served five years in the New York State Senate where he was the first African-American elected outside of New York City. Mayor Brown also made history by becoming the first minority member of the New York State Senate to represent a majority white district. A native of Queens, New York, Mayor Brown came to Buffalo as a college freshman, earning a dual Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Journalism from Buffalo State College. Mayor Brown has been recognized by Ebony Magazine as one of the "30 Leaders of the Future."

Hopefully this will be the first conversation of many as DMI figures out how we can help lead a meaningful conversation about how to put the urban agenda on the national agenda.

Any thoughts for us on this important question?
