  Earlier this week, the Republican National Committee (RNC) and its Chairman, Reince Priebus hosted a great 50^th anniversary commemoration of the March on Washington.  It was truly wonderful to see the best of what America stands for.  In attendance were Blacks, Whites, Hispanics, Asians, Democrats, Republicans, Independents, males and females.  In other words, it was America.

As I sat there and listened to the various speakers during the program; it dawned on me jus

Last week a piece circulated the internet written by a young woman about the three months she spent in India. She'd travelled there as part of the University of Chicago Indian Civilizations Program. That in itself isn't the part that made the story viral – it was her description of the sexual harassment and physical abuse she suffered at the hands of Indian men that got everyone's attention.

The young lady in question recounted frightening tales of having her breasts and crotch clawed at by total

by Chinta Strausberg

In a ten-minute speech Saturday starting at 12:50 p.m. Chicago time, President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden emerged from the Rose Garden announcing that the U.S. is ready for a military strike against Syria but in the spirit of democracy not before congress takes a vote on this politically hot issue.

“Ten-days ago, the world watched in horror as men, women and children were massacred in Syria in t

I am working the Ariana-Leilani case: Ariana-Leilani has been suffering for five years from untreated Severe Chronic Neutropenia (SCN). SCN is a rare potentially fatal low immunity condition (like AIDS) that can lead to her death in as little as 18 hours from a common infection.   The experts believe that, based on the tests done to date, her severe chronic neutropenia is caused by drugs.  However, she has yet to receive any testing for drugs in her system in the five years she has suffered from

1) Barack Obama stepped to the mic and spoke of the importance of non-violence … for oppressed people. When any representative of the U.S. ruling class preaches non-violence, they mean non-violence for those who might get in the way of their empire. Obama was referring to people who had suffered under Jim Crow segregation and lynch-mob terror. This from the commander-in-chief of the global Amerikkkan empire, who has presided over more than 280 drone missile strikes, maintains a torture chamber p

Today August 28, 2013 is the 50 anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King’s 1963 “I have a Dear Speech”. Nobody can deny the concrete progress of African Americans and other people of color, but the terrible legacy of over three hundred years of slavery, nearly one hundred years of separate but equal treatment of African Americans, and nearly sixty years of some progress laced with subtle racism and continued inequities regarding education, access to credit, and the criminal justice system epitomize

Black activists with the Project 21 leadership network are critical of President Barack Obama's divisive and political comments made today as part of the 50th anniversary observance of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.

Approximately 50 years to the minute from when Dr. Martin Luther King began his "I Have a Dream" speech, President Obama stood in the

Today marks the 50th Anniversary of the March on Washington for  "jobs, justice, and freedom” where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his iconic “I Have A Dream” speech.  Across the country, people are honoring this powerful moment in history and recognizing that although we have made great advances in the struggle for racial justice, the “Dream” has not yet been fulfilled. The Lawyers’ Committee will continue to fight for this “Dream”, but we will need increased resources and support from pe

‘King would hang his head in shame’, Spencer Leak.

By Chinta Strausberg: 

Proud to have been the chauffeur for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. who 50 years ago today led a march on Washington, Spencer Leak, Sr., said if King were alive today he would wonder was his life and death in vain given the “social engineering of our people which has been a train wreck.”

African Americans, Leak said, have regressed. Of Chicago’s last year’s 506 homicides, Leak, who is president/CEO of the Leak and Sons Funeral

The tea party got it right. Move-on, the unions, the green party, the Sierra Club, anti-war organizations and all the progressive organizations got it wrong. That is why the tea party has become a powerful political force and progressive organizations are struggling to even survive. 

The tea party did not stay outside and try to influence the Republican Party. No, they moved in and became the Republican Party. Progressives, on the other hand, left the Democratic Party disillusioned, and then trie
