CNN’s O’Brien To Appear at Same Event as Rev. Wright

Sen. Barack Obama‘s former pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, has garnered much media attention for his contentious comments seen on YouTube and elsewhere. Now he’ll be appearing with a member of the media at a Detroit NAACP event.

Wright will give the keynote address at the 53rd Annual Fight For Freedom Fund Dinner on April 27. CNN anchor Soledad O’Brien will serve as a special guest announcer for the dinner.

A special preview of O’Brien’s CNN documentary, “Blacks in America,” will be shown at the event.
