CNN's Black in America 4:The New Promised Land


Here is the trailer for the newest CNN installment series documentary, Black in America 4:The New Promised Land, which premieres Sunday, November 13. Hosted by CNN's own prize-winning journalist, Soledad O'Brien. Click to see pictures!

This installment of 'Black in America' focuses on the journey of 8 black (African-American) technological entrepreneurs determined to enter 'white-man's land' other wise known as Silicon Valley. Silicon Valley is a term for the southern part of the San Francisco Bay area in California. It is the #1 spot for the world's largest technology corporations and the majority of the owners of these corporations are white males. The question that everyone wants to know the answer to is there room for minorities and/or women in this predominately white male arena?

Below are pictures from V.I.P private screening of 'Black in America 4' with CNN's Soledad O'Brien, Business/Marketing executive and now author of The Tanning of America: How Hip Hop Created a Culture That Rewrote the Rules of the New Economy Steve Stoute, and some of the black entrepreneurs from the documentary.
