'Late Nite With Ed Moore III' aired the first show recognizing its October Race Relations Awareness Month on Friday night with a special on African-Americans.

The program opened up with Ed reading aloud the show's mission statement, extending a warm invitation to any and all who might be listening. For Ed, this affirmed to the entire listening audience that all were welcome.
The show allowed many wounds of the black community to be re-examined for different healing methods in the eyes and ears of a diverse audience. It geared the night of conversation towards educating all people, regardless of background, into the undiscussed issues involving racism, prejudice and discrimination across the board. The panel of five told stories ranging from issues amongst the black community concerning skin tone, the lack of diversity embraced by the black community as well as the self esteem of blacks in America when interacting with other races of people.
"I think what made this show unique is that black people were able to get together and have tough conversations about race without knowing who was out there listening to them. I can assure you, the listeners weren't just other black people. We were talking to the world." - Ed Moore III
