Dr. Stephen Flynn
Dr. Stephen Flynn was at the forefront of homeland security issues long before the 9/11 attacks. A Senior Fellow at the New York-based Council on Foreign Relations, he was the lead author of the Hart-Rudman commission report, which was cited often in the 9/11 congressional hearings. Dr. Flynn served in the White House Military Office during the first Bush administration and was a director on the National Security Council staff during the Clinton administration. In his new book, America the Vulnerable, he outlines how to manage terrorist threats.
Taye Diggs
Actor Taye Diggs had a love of performing even in high school in Rochester, NY. He's since gone from being a cast member at Tokyo Disneyland to stardom on stage, TV and the big screen. He earned his Broadway chops in the Tony Award-winning productions of Carousel and Rent. Diggs won his debut film role in How Stella Got Her Groove Back even though the casting directors wanted a tall Black man with dreads. Diggs says he never takes his success for granted.
