Dear Debra Lee,
Sunday night’s BET Awards show was a disgrace. It’s sad and unfortunate that your network, owned by Viacom, continues to crank out mediocrity and perpetuate negative stereotypes of black men, women, and children. Although you likely received high ratings for the awards show, there is no honor in reinforcing the status quo’s opinion of black people.

Philadelphia, PA: On June 29-30, 2009, Byron participated in a focus group aimed at ending violence against women. The “Engaging Men Focus Group” was organized by the US Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women. For more information on the work of DOJ, please visit http://www.ovw.usdoj.gov/.
