[*By Jumasa Kofi Sankofa] The election of Barak Obama to the presidency of the United States is a defining moment in the history of this country. It is supposed to signify a post racial America, where a people, despised and degraded as an inferior race, has triumphed over racial oppression. After all, one of them has been elected to the highest and most prestigious office in the land. It is supposed to signify a society’s triumph over its racist foundation, rejecting the tenets of that foundatio

 As members of the Project 21 black leadership network mourn the regretful loss of Eric Garner’s life during a confrontation with New York City police officers, they see the root problem in government overreach.

Garner died at least in part from a chokehold administered by a police officer last July after he was accused of selling “loose” untaxed cigarettes outside a New York Ci

Following Michael Brown's tragic death, millions of people across the nation and around the world have focused their attention on unfolding events in Ferguson, both grieving together and making their voices heard.

In recent days, many have been captivated by ongoing developments, anguished emotions, peaceful protests -- and, too often, deeply unfortunate images of unnecessary destruction. And this tragic incident has sparked a necessary, national conversation about the need to ensure trust and

WAR ON THE PEOPLE

by Natalie ~

  Police across the United States have declared war on the American people, particularly on Blacks and other minorities.   More than one person is shot by the local police on a daily basis, most of them under the age of 20, and most of those shot tending to be unarmed.  Many of these victims have been children.  The victims have included fathers, mothers, children leaving birthday parties to go home, people on their wedding day preparing to be married, young parents

The Institute of the Black World 21^st Century decries the decision of the Grand Jury in Ferguson not to indict Officer Darren Wilson as yet another in a tragic litany of injustices that is fueling a spirit of resistance, righteous rebellion and movement building across this country; a movement primarily led by young people. We applaud the weeks and months of disciplined training, organizing, demonstrations and protests by young leaders that may well mark the birth of a new movement for social ju

“In the half-century that has passed, gratuitous police violence has spread to the public in general.  Today it is not only blacks and Hispanics who experience police brutality. Everyone suffers from it. Being white is no longer a protection. In a recent column, ‘Call the Cops at Your Peril,’ I reported a few of the recent atrocities police have committed aga

As Campaign Director of the Weed Out Hate Initiative, Marc Daniels illuminates the deepest Judaic roots of Dr. Martin Luther King's "Promised Land" and "Mountain Top" rhetoric, for helping community leaders in racially and polarized communities, weed out racism in America.

What to the Afrikan born in America is your Thanksgiving Day? 

A day whose genesis was born in the misery and pain of the usurped and slaughtered true Natives of this land, mayhem wrought by the hands of the invading savage and bloodthirsty European. The Puritans, the pure satans, who hid their true satanic nature behind zealous religious dogma. Your Thanksgiving Day of blood sacrifice was super-imposed on the indigenous Day of Giving Thanks for a bountiful harvest, as was the custom of every ind

Should Black Americans blackout Black Friday?

The Lions Tale issues the call to: “Black-out Black Friday.”

Why?

America has a Black President and tons of rich Black entertainers, sports figures, and businessmen and women. It has a large black middle class. Black America makes more money than any country in Africa, even more than Nigeria with its oil and South Africa with its diamonds and gold.

Yet, the systematic oppression of Black people in America i

We are living through a time of dichotomies. What's good for you & your family is not necessarily what's good for me & mine. Clearly this is true for Michael Brown, his family and officer Darren Wilson.

As a Divine spirit living a human existence as an African-American mother, I do not know how to talk to my sons about their rights as African-American males in these United States. It is unfortunate that my sons, who have been educated and raised in American schools, and lived a middle class life,

It always comes down to this. How selfish, greedy and insensitive can some of these our rulers be? They are parasites feeding fat on the blood of the people, causing untold miseries and are like malignant tumours that just will not go away.

Eight years as a governor of an oil-rich state, with thieving hands in the treasury every day, no visible or beneficial people-oriented development despite the billions allocated to the state each month of eight years, and then wants to head to the Senate, to

Activists with the Project 21 black leadership network are critical of just-announced executive action by President Barack Obama to grant amnesty to non-citizens illegally in the United States.

"What President Obama did is reward those who broke our laws. This will only embitter and endanger the citizenry and legal immigrants who are similarly looking for work, just scraping by and worried about their economic future," said Project 21 Archbishop Council Nedd II of St. Alban's Anglican Church.

Just that fast another year has whisked by and the holidays are already here. Because this is the time of year when I usually get inundated with calls from organizations, church groups, schools, businesses, youth programs, and individuals looking for items that they can give to their members for the holidays, I’ve decided to do something a little different this year.

In anticipation of the calls that I’ll soon be receiving, I’ve put together a special Holiday Fundraiser Package to make it easier
