It's an issue that affects all of us - the re-entry of convicted felons into society once they've served their time. In a country where one in three black males can expect to spend time in prison within his lifetime, how he is treated when he is released will determine if he becomes a productive citizen, or goes back to prison for re-offending.

"Oh, it's just baby fat". "She's just a little plump - she'll grow out of it." "He's not overweight - he just big-boned". Sound familiar? Cute sayings to justify obesity in our children.

Eleven percent of Black kids two-five are obese, and African American girls ages 12-19 have the highest prevalence of obesity than any other group.

You could call it a cross between Black Expo and Af'ram Fest - two well known festivals in the African American community. But promoters say it is so much more - Africana Virginia Beach is billed as a 3 day festival celebrating family, culture and entertainment of the African Diaspora. It debuts August 23-25 at the oceanfront - and some in the African American community are surprised by the location considering the tension between the Black community and the resort city when it comes to large events marketed primarily to African Americans. On the next Another View we'll talk with festival producer Bruce Williams about the goals of the event, along with Captain Patrick Gallagher, Virginia Beach Police Department, who will talk about safety during the festival, and also about a special event honoring the first African American police officers to serve Virginia Beach and Princess Anne county.
