They're artists, academics, athletes, activists, authors and more. Following last year's acclaimed NAACP Documentary Award winning HBO special THE BLACK LIST: VOL 1., a remarkable group of African-American notables share candid stories and revealing insights into the struggles, triumphs and joys of black life in the U.S. on the all-new THE BLACK LIST: VOL. 2. From the childhood inspirations that shaped their ambitions, to the evolving American landscape they helped define, to the importance of preserving a unique cultural identity for future generations, these prominent individuals offer a unique look into the zeitgeist of black America, redefining the traditional pejorative notion of a blacklist.
