Dr. Coleman’s Thirtieth Political Pundit Night–a live cybercast–will take place tonight, from seven to nine, exclusively in this post. Black pundits and leaders will discuss and celebrate Black Success in America and the Twin Tiers, just days before the start of Black History Month. Watch black history in the making as they share their stories of success and achievement, and how their stories relate to today’s young people, and to both the white and black communities. The Elmira-Corning Branch of the NAACP encourages community members to watch to learn about black history in the making and to celebrate Black History Month. The pundits and leaders who will be participating include:
- Georgia Verdier–Elmira-Corning NAACP President,
- Krystal Jubilee–Director of Nurse Education, Corning Community College,
- Reverend Nathaniel Wright–Pastor, Calvary Baptist Church, Ithaca,
- Jerome Emanuel–Director of Lending, Alternatives Federal Credit Union, and Member of the NYS Regional Economic Development Council,
- Astra Titus–Attorney, Law and Social Policy Analyst, and Expert,
- Pastor Kale Mann–Faith Temple Community Church, Elmira,

The next Political Pundit night will be March 23rd.
