Radio and TV Journalist Jacque Reid, Dr. Steve Perry and CNN’s Soledad O’Brien gather for the release of ‘When Push Has Come to Shove: Getting Our Kids the Education They Deserve–Even If It Means Picking a Fight‘

Also in attendance for the intimate launch party was Diddy, Chris Rock and Malaak Compton-Rock, Activist Geoffrey Canada and Media Personality Egypt Sherrod.

After being featured in CNN’s Black In America, Soledad states that Dr. Perry’s book is an absolute must read in order to change education for all children.

“The thing about Dr. Perry is that he is really blunt and his book not only assesses the problem but also gives great solutions on how to fix the problems with education that we all do know is there,” stated Soledad, “There are actually things to do and solutions are right around the corner (and) doable if you really care and want to make a change which I know a lot of people do so then pick up the book!”

Concrete Loop’s founder/editor Angel Laws, Felicia Mancini and noted photographer Taj Washington were on the scene to get the exclusive photos. Check them out below.
