The Black Republican Forum is educational, does not endorse positions on the issues discussed, and respects the right of each individual or organization to voice their opinion. Founded by Jan Glassman, David Webb and Frances Rice. The forum is an opportunity to discuss and act on issues important to all Americans regardless of race. This is consistent with the educational mission of the Women’s National Republican Club founded in 1921, standing as the oldest national club for Republican women, as well as with the mission of the National Black Republican Association. The forum is held annually at the Women’s National Republican Club in Manhattan.

A special thanks to our 2008 Keynote Speaker, NFL Hall of Famer Lynn Swann for his inspirational speech on Race and the Presidential Election.
 

Afternoon Sessions featured national leaders including Niger Innis, Bob Parks, Deneen Borelli, Mychal Massie, Jennifer Carroll, Deborah Honeycutt, Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, Star Parker, Ward Connerly, Princella Smith, Dr. Timothy Johnson and Colonel Allen West.

Topics included Media Bias: Perception vs. Reality, Urban Issues in the 21^st Century, The Black Church and State, The True History of Civil Rights, Illegal Immigration and Black America and When Political Correctness Leads to Campaign Paralysis discussed in a panel format with Q&A.

The Evening followed the popular American Forum Series format with the keynote speech and an all-star panel discussion on Race and the Presidential Election.
