NEW YORK -- It feels like it was just yesterday that the tragic whirlwind of events engulfed the town of Ferguson and for the past few weeks Baltimore has taken center stage as the nation witnesses history repeating itself. The death of another young African American man while in police custody is once again making national headlines and bringing to the forefront and into question justice and safety in our communities. Hosted by BET News correspondent Marc Lamont Hill, the one LIVE conversation "BALTIMORE SPEAKS: A BET SPECIAL" will premiere on BET, Centric and the BET NOW App Thursday, May 7 at 8 PM ET/PT and feature a candid and comprehensive conversation with denizens of Baltimore about the events that occurred in the city over the past week and address the challenges our community is facing and look ahead to what can be done to affect positive change.

"There is much more work to be done to impact the critical issues that are devastating our communities. At BET Networks, we are committed to super-serving our audience by bringing these conversations and stories to light and by creating platforms to exchange meaningful dialogue that will galvanize change."

"While there is no easy answer to address the systemic issues between communities of color and law enforcement agencies across the nation, I am encouraged by organizations that work feverishly to support boys and young men of color to reach their true potential. I am proud to serve on the board of the recently launched My Brother's Keeper Alliance, which aims to eliminate the gaps in opportunity and achievement - making the American dream available to all," said Debra L. Lee, Chairman and CEO, BET Networks. "There is much more work to be done to impact the critical issues that are devastating our communities. At BET Networks, we are committed to super-serving our audience by bringing these conversations and stories to light and by creating platforms to exchange meaningful dialogue that will galvanize change."
