  <description><![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;<em>I See Black People</em> is a narrative history of the behind-the-scenes politics of black television and radio ownership, including the stories of the failure of the Black Famlly Channel, The World African Network, and Russell Simmons Fabulous TV, as well as that of Catherine Hughes, who&#8217;d aggressively acquired radio stations, becoming the first black woman to head a firm that publicly traded on the stock exchange. While securing  its place in the  marketplace, the company is now 20 percent black owned. By offering insights into the failure of public policy that have impeded black access to ownership through the last thirty years, the author explores that current state of black media and questions its direction.&lt;/div&gt;]]></description>
