Creating young leaders and instilling young people with the identity that allows them to define who they are is Jeff Johnson’s passion. 

Whether you’ve heard him on The Tom Joyner Morning Show’s, “The Commentator” competition, or seen him as host of Black Entertainment Television’s (BET), “The Jeff Johnson Chronicles”, or “The Truth”, a new show focused on current issues and how they affect the African American community, Johnson, who has been described as a social entrepreneur, is an advocate for change on and off screen.  “I’m not playing a caricature. 

I was doing the work that I do on television before I was ever on television and I continue to do the work after they take me off television because it’s really what I love to do.  It’s who I am, it’s what I believe in,” says Johnson. 

Dr. Dre's 20-year-old son has died, the rapper's publicist said Tuesday.

"Dr. Dre is mourning the loss of his son Andre Young Jr.," publicist Lori Earl said in a statement.

(CNN) -- It was a moment Howard Hemsley thought might never come.

"If three years ago, someone had said to me on the streets of New York that somebody named Barack Obama would be our nominee, I would have said they were crazy," said Hemsley, an African-American delegate from New York. "I volunteered for him for two years, and most of that time I never thought he would win."

Yet Hemsley was just a few yards from Sen. Hillary Clinton as she moved that Obama be named the Democratic presidential nominee by acclamation, before a cheering stadium of delegates at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday.

"This is something people like me have been waiting for for days, weeks. Years," he said with tears in his eyes. "He's going to the White House. He's going to be our next president."

There has been much criticism of the Clinton’s over the last 16 years.  Perhaps they have been the two most criticized people in America over the past two decades.  They lost their standing with the African-American community over the last 6 months of the primary campaign and Bill Clinton had begun to be seen as a bitter and irrelevant figure by much of the country.  He looked fatigued on the campaign trail and has been reported to be infuriated about his wife’s loss, while Hillary seems to have taken it better.

This week one Clinton took herself to a whole new standing in American history and the other reminded us all of why he had over 53% opinion ratings throughout his presidency despite scandals and an impeachment trial.
