Reaction extended from the blogosphere to the floor of the House, where Illinois Congressmember Luis Gutiérrez stood next to a sign of the NBC peacock with the hashtag #NBCSoWhite and suggested the network has a racial diversity problem. But even though her show is now off the air, Melissa is still sparking critical conversations.

Dr. Harris-Perry expands the definition of race (blackness) to include all people with "problematic" bodies (i.e., queer, women, undocumented, trans, HIV+, etc.). As Dr. Harris-Perry states, some health-related issues can't be cured/treated with a pharmaceutical. Why? Because they are the result of social injustices caused outside the body, not health concerns arising inside the body. In the words of Dr. Harris-Perry, "the struggle continues."

Can marriage be reimagined? As much of the LGBTQ community fights for the legal right to be married, some argue this doesn't go far enough. A new legal definition of marriage benefits some who were formerly excluded, but leaves other family and partnership units behind. In this free, public forum, marriage and equality are treated as separate but related constructs. Our diverse panel will explore the functions and identities of marriage, from an expression of attachment and affection to a powerful social institution. Panelists include: Melissa Harris-Perry, Ph.D., Tulane University political science professor and MSNBC opinion show host. http://melissaharrisperry.com/ Kenyon Farrow, activist, writer, Communications Director for The Praxis Project and the former Executive Director of Q...
