Leaders in education, public policy, religion, and black communities discussed the future impact of African Americans on Western culture, the country's global image, and the social, political, and economic future. They talked about the newly released book The Covenant in Action, published by Smiley Books. The book, a follow-up to The Covenant with Black America, demonstrated how ordinary people were finding solutions to the problems still facing blacks in America 400 years later. The State of the Black Union 2007: Jamestown, America's 400th Anniversary, was titled "The African American Imprint on America" to commemorate the 400th anniversary of America at Jamestown, Virginia. The event took place in the Convocation Center of Hampton University. This event was sponsored by Tavis Smiley Presents.
