NewsOne Now Reflects On The Life And Legacy Of Legendary Journalist George Curry

Longtime journalist and champion of the Black press, George Curry, passed away on Saturday of a heart attack in Maryland at the age of 69.

The loss has sent the world of many African-American journalists into a tailspin.

Curry was most known for being Editor-in-Chief of the award-winning Emerge Magazine, which set the standard for numerous publications and influenced a generation of journalists, political activists, politicians, and the African-American community with its controversial covers, as well as its poignant editorial content.

On Monday, Roland Martin and a select group of guests paid homage to Curry during a special edition of NewsOne Now.

Martin's guests include: Kemba Smith, Lauren Victoria Burke, Hazel Trice Edney, Spencer Overton, and Clarence Page.
