Watch "Find Our Missing" Tonight


On our message board we've talked about the discrepancy in the way missing people are reported in the media. Actually, it's closer to the point to say that missing white women and children simply get more press. TV One is doing something about that with its new 10-part series "Find Our Missing", hosted by hosted by S. Epatha Merkerson (of Law & Order fame). It tells the stories of Black people who are missing, but who didn't grab headlines in the mainstream media.
The series premieres TONIGHT at 10 p.m. on TV One. Please be sure to watch it. Personally, I'm already hoping there will be more seasons of this program because the need is so great. But it's a very impressive start!
