The wholesale killing of unarmed Black men must stop. Enough cop killings are enough! Stop this police brutality now!
It never ceases to amaze me that a white gunman can kill a large number of people and they can be captured alive. For instance, the young white boy that killed Black Christians at their weekly prayer meeting in Charleston, South Carolina.
Ralph Worrell was a servant warrior. Like any warrior he was tenacious. But he was above all else a servant. He embodied the spirit of the drum major Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. preached was necessary to be first in the kingdom.
Worrell was born in Barbados 88 years ago. His ancestors were among those Africans who could not be broken for service as a slave in America.
I don’t have any young children or grandchildren, so I’m asking for a friend.
What do you tell your children and grandchildren about managing their conduct in social settings in light of the scandalous revelations about the president and the many women who have alleged that they have had unprotected sexual relations with him?
I didn’t want to hassle with parking and the large crowd expected in downtown Atlanta for the “March For Our Lives” planned for the city.
March organizers had a contingency for people like me. There were several march venues in the metro area. I noticed there was a site at Benjamin E. Mays High School near my home in Cascade Heights.
Good news for the nations Historically Black Colleges and Universities. When President Trump signed the Omnibus Spending Bill today little did he know, he approved a 14 percent increase in federal funding for HBCUs.
Many of the Black schools were founded in the first 50 years following the Civil War. There are 100 HBCUs still in existence. Many of them are in dire need of financial assistance to keep afloat. Last month Concordia College in Selma, Alabama announced they will close their doors following this academic school year, just four years short of a century providing education to Black Americans.
Atlanta, Georgia Mayor Keisha Lance Bottom announced today that the city’s computer system has suffered a ransomware attack. The city has called in the FBI, Homeland Security and the Secret Service to address the problem.
Citizens started noticing that something was wrong with the computer system when they attempted to pay their utilities today.The primary target of the ransomware attack appears to be the city utilities department and the court system.

How is it that a 24 year old white male can strike fear in the capitol of Texas for 19 days and not be labeled a terrorist?
I have been shaking my head over this one since the FedEx photo showing a white male in a yellow wig wearing gloves at a FedEx drop off facility near Austin, Texas was released.
Floyd Griffin withdrew his attempt to replace John page as chairman of the Tuskegee Board of Trustees. His withdrawal left Skegee Alumni angry.
Griffin had promised to bring transparency to the board and to open up board meetings to members of the Skegee Alumni.
Skegee alumni rallied around Griffin in his desire to become chairman of the board of Trustees. They argued that Skegee was the only elite HBCU that did not have an alumnus as head of its board.
Unknown domestic terrorist have struck again. This time forcing the cancellation of a musical concert by the African American band Roots.
The band composed of eight Black men was scheduled to perform in a show billed as Roots and Friends. The concert was sponsored by Bud Light/Anheuser-Busch at the popular SXSW annual festival.
I just don’t get it. What lurks within the heart of a government official who would take away the pension of a civil servant who gave more than 20 years of his life to the government?
It makes no sense to me. Simply cold and heartless is about all I can make of Attorney General Jeff Sessions move to fire Andrew McCabe two days before his full pension vests.
