one of NVLP’s 2002 National Visionaries, followed by a lively panel discussion
exploring the role of black humor including how far is too far, its impression
on today’s pop culture and recent comments from the film "Barber
Shop." Dr. Jannette Dates, dean of Howard University’s School of
Communications, and young comedian William Toxler, joined Gregory on the
panel. Renee Poussaint moderated.
