DC FORUM FOCUSES ON MARRIAGE IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY: Hamil R. Harris

at the Washington Post's "Voices" blog reports:

D.C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton had to "sweet talk" the fire marshal because so many people packed her Congressional Black Caucus forum, "Single Women, Unmarried Men: What has happen to Marriage in the Black Community?"

"In order to stay married you have to be willing to be committed to each other," said Alice Carter, a resident of Northeast, during the forum that featured relationshp author and radio host Audrey Chapman and psychologist Shane Perrault.

"Sometimes nothing is better than too little," said Perrault, who added that some women are better off alone than in a bad relationship.
