Atlanta's premier African-American discussion group
TalkBLACK meets 1st Saturday every month from 1pm - 3pm at various black-owned establishments around Atlanta (except holidays). We discuss everything from pop culture and politics to religion and relationships and anything relevant to the African-American community. Our meetings are FREE; we only ask that attendees support the African-American-owned venue that hosts us by purchasing an item.
