Forty years ago, a group of African American Journalists came together to create Tidewater Media Professionals. Today, the group is called Hampton Roads Black Media Professionals or HRBMP, and provides scholarships, mentorships and advocates for fair and balanced coverage of the Black Community. HRBMP is an affiliate chapter of the National Association of Black Journalists, the world’s largest organization of Black journalists and media professionals. Sit back and relax as our very Lisa Godley and HRBMP’s current President shares this organizaton’s amazing 40 year history.
