Mayor Ernie Davis' swearing in as Mount Vernon's 21st mayor, and, as the first New York mayor to go back and successfully win his old seat (at least in Mt. Vernon's history), is a sign that this year is going to be absolutely fantastic - that is, if we do what we're supposed to do, individually and collective

   It's hard to believe that fifteen years have passed since the First Wall Street Project opened in New York City. It was 1997, at at that time we actually were on Wall Street, with many of the events happening either in board rooms, on the trading room floors, or at the World Trade Center.

I can remember sitting in the top of the World Trade Center at one of the luncheons, in a facility where the ceilings were arched, and so low that you had to bend to be in there, and

By Gloria Dulan-Wilson: Hello All: I recently had occasion to respond to an individual who is a "self-styled activist" who had invited me to participate in a protest demonstration against President Barack Obama, which would have taken place in Harlem in front of the Apollo while the President participated in a fund raising concert held in his honor.

The email which I received on January 17,2012 was so hostile that I immediately shot back an email to the author, Nellie Hester Bailey, informing he

Once again Black Democrats have been dissed by the Democratic leadership in the U.S. House of Representatives; and once again there was absolutely no price to pay.

 

When will Blacks finally, in the immortal words of civil rights pioneer, Fannie Lou Hamer, get “sick and tired of being sick and tired?”  Democrats continue to treat Blacks like second class citizens because no one fears any retaliation or any consequence for how they treat Blacks. 

 

Even the first Black

You didn't know me when you were here,
But through your words I feel you are near.

I was too young for the demonstration,
But I learned about you in my education.

You said we all were created equal,
But maybe now we need a new sequel.

Because I don't know what happened to the dream,
Nor the members of your team.

Yeah, Andy's made a name,

Jesse got some fame.

But what happened to the vision?
Seems it's been lost to indecisio

SYNOPSIS
The time has come for a realistic political dialogue between the American
national minorities and the dominant Anglo-American ethny.
The problematic that arises in what American presidents Clinton and Obama

state assure and protect the unique needs and interests of its minorities,
particularly its historically oppressed national

As one of the first community organizers to work with Barack Obama when he first came to Chicago, I have the authority to state without reservation that "President" Obama has lost the foundation he developed as "Organizer" Obama.
His latest endorsement of Illinois Governor Pat Quinn is proof that "President" Obama set a real low standard for this Quinn endorsement than the "high" standards he used to have making sure that candidates truly earned the grassroots support from the communty organizers

Enough of This Bipartisanship Nonsense

I don’t think much of the “new” Republican Party, but then again, that doesn’t prevent me from writing about it.But don’t get me wrong, I think that the former Maryland lieutenant governor was the best person available for the job.
