Explosive growth of the Internet and World Wide Wide has created an international vehicle for continuous access to interactive multimedia content. The WWW provides producers, consumers and investors with a flexible, extensible medium for information exchange. This technology provides an unprecedented opportunity to create, produce and distribute content contributing to African American empowerment. The issue is simple - ACTION! The Hookup forum will convene leading U.S. African American technical/business professionals to define an action agenda for African American internet solutions.
Q. Why September 13?
Saturday, September 13, during Congressional Black Caucus weekend, is a time
when African American business leaders converge on DC for some of the biggest
social events of the year!

Q. Why was the "Hookup" announced late?
