Cyn and I dropped by ESPN today to thank the nice people at ESPN for nurturing Coley Harvey during this period in his career. He is heading off to Fox Sports to cover Big Ten football and basketball. I am willing to bet ESPN will still him back within three years. Advertisements
Today we are in the Big Apple searching for a book distribution deal for Freaknik Lawyer. We believe in the inspirational message contained in this book. Many of the early readers of this work have called or written to say how much inspiration they have received from reading Freaknik Lawyer. We are not going to spare any effort or cost to get this work before a large audience where it can inspire more people to craft a plan of resistance against the forces of indifference and inequality which seeks to deny their dreams. Until that book distribution deal comes along,
“We are not leaving any stones unturned with the release of Freaknik Lawyer: A Memoir on the Craft of Resistance,” Harold Michael Harvey said after approving the release of a kicking ad promoting his third book. Cascade Publishing House has obtained the professional voice-over skills of Marque Denmon to beat the drum for the virtue of Freaknik Lawyer. Denmon has over 20 years in radio and copywriting experience. “We believe Freaknik Lawyer is a significant work which addresses the last 50 years of American and African American history,” Harvey said, adding, “it would be a shame not to get the
Freaknik Lawyer, the third book authored by Harold Michael Harvey debuted two weeks ago. The book is subtitled A Memoir on the Craft of Resistance (Cascade Publishing House, Atlanta, 2019). Harvey starts his memoir on the day before his birth. As is his unique writing style, Harvey weaves the present with the past, pushing the readers to create a better future than the past or the present. Although this work is a factual account of Harvey’s life, neatly tucked inside the pages of this tome are golden nuggets of our collective history which are relatable in the current age. “We
Is he is or is he ain’t a racist. Some say that he is, others say that no, he can’t be. He concedes that he “is the least racist person” on the planet. This admission is significant merely because it is the single thing that he boasts about where he is not number one. Whether he is or is not a racist is debatable. There is a strong case for attaching the racist label to the 45th US President. His supporters refute this argument. They explain he is talking about the harmful elements of the groups he targets with harsh
“I’m excited to get another chance to revive a baseball program,” Coach Marcus Smith said over lunch at the iconic Beautiful Restaurant in southwest Atlanta. Fourteen months ago, Smith walked away from the Head Baseball Coach position at Le Moyne-Owen in Memphis, Tennessee over an NCAA compliance issue that occurred two years before he became head coach at the school. “This past year has been a difficult one for me. Everyone assumed I knowingly played an ineligible player. I have felt bad all year,” he offered. Smith served as an assistant coach at Le Moyne-Owen in 2012-2013. He left to
He was born on this day, July 30, in 1924. Born on farmland that had been in the family dating back to the days when Missouri became the first slave state to free its enslaved population. In the ensuing 59 years, successive generations of the family found it more and more challenging to hold onto the family farm. By the time Cordy Tindell Vivian was eight years old, the family patriarch had packed up and moved the family north to Peoria, Illinois. Little Cordy, fair complexion was the only Negro boy in his second-grade class, albeit, in his neighborhood. The
For the past 18 months, Democrats have waited for Mueller Time to arrive. One may say with high expectations. It finally did. Robert Mueller, Special Investigator into Russian meddling in the 2016 Presidential Election spoke with two House Committees (the Judiciary and Intelligence Committees) this week. Following Mueller’s appearance few, if any, Democrats headed to the bar to celebrate with the champagne of bottled beer in hand as they rejoiced over the prospects of impeaching the 45th President. While most Americans longed to hear from Mueller in person, his presentation left the House of Representatives and the American people in
“This tournament doesn’t have to have a PA announcer. It would be a success without me. What I bring to this tournament is an authentic baseball experience for these young men,” added Denmon in a tone so deep, so rich, that the hearer can only imagine those words originated from somewhere around his navel and moved upwards bursting out of his mouth, and punctuating the airwaves with a resonance indescribable. Over the years fans of the MVP Baseball Classic have been informed, empowered and entertained by the rich baritone voice of Marque Denmon. He volunteers as the Public Address announcer.
“Helping people is what we are all about,” Greg “Goody” Goodwin said after he had arranged a try-out for Kendall Ford in between games at the 2019 MVP (Mentoring Viable Prospects) Classic. Ford is a graduate of the MVP program. He recently graduated from Columbus State University, where he played the middle infield positions. “I wanted a chance to continue playing baseball. I called Coach Goodwin and asked him who he knew who could give me a chance to showcase what I can do,” Ford said after an impromptu try-out with the Washington Nationals. “Ford is a good kid. He
