If you're hearing about a missing child on the news, more than likely, they are white. Little do most of us know that over one-third of the missing are African-American. The media shows little to no attention to our missing black children and police do not consider it a higher priority when the focus is on a black child, but things are finally taking a turn. TV One has produced a 10-part series, entitled "Finding Our Missing", with a focus on young missing blacks who didn't get the proper media attention they deserved in order to bring them home. Tonight, we here at BKS1 Radio are playing our part. We are shining a spotlight on why this continues to happen to our loved ones, as well as specific stories that you may be able to help solve. This problem can no longer be ignored. Let's do our part, tonight on "Live in the Vocal Booth".
