Juneteenth: What It Means
Diane Sears, Publisher of "In Search of Fatherhood" Magazine (which is available on line) sent this item along on Juneteenth. It is short, quick, and to the point:

Let me begin by thanking my Sister Vivian for telling me about this Bill that President Trump has already signed and the Commission for it that is already in play.
When I read the Commission Act, I could not believe what I was reading. Since being taken in yokes and chains to the Slave Castles, suffering the worst Slave Trade and enslavement known in the annals of history, and being plagued with this captivity, over 100 million Blacks have died at the hands of ENSLAVERS, government officials, im
By Phillip Jackson | Think about the worst racial policies of America. Chattel slavery. Jim Crow segregation. Apartheid. Share-cropping. Mass incarceration. Ethnic cleansing. Education, housing and economic discrimination. Wealth gaps and health gaps.

Reclaiming Our African Mind
"When we talk about the so-called diagnosing of our people, it involves an analysis not only of the behavior of our people, but of the behavior of the society as a whole; and we must recognize this fact and face up to it as a people. Diagnosis then is not merely procedural or neutral.
By Michael Walsh It is said that people don't want to hear the truth because they don't want their illusions destroyed.
