Earlier this week, Charles Ramsey of Cleveland, Ohio rescued three women and a six year old who had been held captive by his neighbor for a decade. But it was the interview Ramsey gave to a reporter on the scene that day that made him an internet sensation. Within hours, he was trending on Twitter and the subject of numerous autotune creations.
But Ramsey's two minute interview (and the later released call he placed to 911) grew into a larger examination of race, class and the media. The stories of the abducted women has rightfully taken center stage, but questions about Ramsey's introduction to the world media remain. This week on Basic Black, what can we learn from Charles Ramsey?

Latest Comments
(Originally streamed October 28, 2010) After the broadcast, our panelist headed out into the WGBH Atrium to meet the guests of the Basic Black Live Watch. Our event was co-hosted with the Young Professionals Network of the Urban League of Eastern Massachusetts. Sen. Sonia Chang-Diaz and Robert Fortes very graciously took questions from our guests and by most accounts, everyone appreciated the opportunity to network and the great conversations. My sincerest thanks to our panelists and to all of our guests.
