Melissa Harris-Perry is now "the first black progressive woman to ever solo-host her own news and politics show on a major corporate TV news outlet," wrote Jennifer Pozner earlier this week on Alternet.
MHP described the show this way: "It will be driven by the questions that are of particular intellectual and personal concern to me, so we’ll undoubtedly talk about issues of inequality -- racial and gender and class inequality. We’ll undoubtedly talk about Southern politics, and politics beyond the Beltway and the New York Amtrak stops. We will undoubtedly turn to maybe some surprising voices, voices you don't always hear on cable news."
A professor at Tulane, she recently authored "Sister Citizen: Shame, Stereotypes and Black Women in America."

I'm going to give it three thumbs up. I thought it was going to be another African Host with the same old white Tevee Pundit Heads and African American conservatives spewing out the same old talking points.
She covered a lot of ground, I was especially glad to see the map of the states passing Voter ID laws.
I would still like to see more diversity among the liberal/progressive Talking TeeVee Pundit Heads.
