If you don’t know much about politics, a panel of political experts will be featured prior to the debate’s screening. The Greene Space’s Kelli Goff hosts the panel, featuring Black Enterprise Editor in Chief Derek Dingle, political analyst Amy Holmes, founder of The American Conservative Scott McConnell and journalist Mariela Salgado, according to the Apollo website.
During the panel, time will be set aside for a question-and-answer session.
The Women’s Political Caucus of New York will also attend the viewing party to help eligible voters register to vote come November. Hot 97’s DJ Enuff, Charisa the Violin Diva and string quartet Diverse Concert Artists will also be performing music during the event.
