Award-winning journalist and author Roland S. Martin will speak on Saturday, Feb. 14, at Central State University’s second annual African-American Male Leadership Institute.
Martin is the author of “Listening to the Spirit Within: 50 Perspectives on Faith” and “Speak, Brother! A Black Man’s View of America.” Martin also is a commentator and analyst for TV One Cable Network and CNN.

One of his comments during the democratic primary, on one of the shows mentioned, made him appear to be a real male chauvinist pig. I hope that is not the idealized African American male along with misogynic rap music. I thought he and many other political pundits let the American public down in their very biased punditry during the campaign.
