The results of last week's election mean big changes are coming in 2015. With new elected officials on every level come new opportunities—and challenges—in the fight for civil and human rights.

To ensure our issues are top of mind, we must come together to set our goals and priorities for the movement.

What are your top priorities, Kwasi? Tell us where we should focus our resources in 2015.

In January, the new Congress and new state legislatures will begin their work, crafting policies that affec

As the dust settles on the 2014 Midterm election, the balloons are dropping on the Republican victory parade as they celebrate taking control of the Senate from Harry Reid and President Obama.

But you and I can't celebrate yet because Obamacare is still the law of the land, and there is 1 more vote left on the table.

You see - the Senate race in Louisiana has come down to a runoff between Democratic Senator Mary Landrieu (who voted for Obamacare) and conservative Bill Cassidy (who has vowed to r

VOTE FOR THE CREATOR GOD OF THIS UNIVERSE! 

The United States is all caught up in another one of its Midterm Elections – its so called “democratic process” - to elect members of the House, Senators, and Governors.  How wonderful it is for the people in a country as “great” as the US to be able to put confidence in candidates to have them represent them, right?  Of course, but where is the candidate who will represent the Black vote, or rather, the descendants of Slaves?  Where is anyone in whom

Nigeria, through the Nigerian Centre for Disease Control and with approval from President Jonathan, will send nearly 600 volunteers to support Ebola-stricken countries in West Africa. The medical aides will join 1,000 health workers from across the African continent -- filling a critical shortage of medical workers who are willing to treat Ebola patients.

Nigeria's first set of 250 volunteers, who will meet the global health standards set forth by the World Health Organization (WHO), are set to

BECAUSE GOD’s WORD AND HIS SALVATION ARE NOT FOUND IN THE CHURCH!

October 27, 2014

I have so much to share that I really do not know where to begin.  Right or wrong, I will start by saying that “Cheryl” did great by posting “Africans and their obsession with other people's religion”.  I do not know “Cheryl” and never heard of her, and I don’t yet know what all she believes.   Nevertheless, the information she brought forward is right on

Are you like me?

Do you spend money with Afrikans at the beginning of the month and throughout the month and leave whatever crumbs are left for non-essentials that may need to be spent with non-Afrikans (like phone, car, lights, water, rent, mortgage, cable, groceries, taxes, etc)? 

Well, as you know, a few months ago a crack team of researchers at Abibitumi Kasa embarked on an ground-breaking and monumental scientific experiment!

The bold hypothesis was that Afrikans who know that they are Afr

Asante Africa Foundation has announced that the inaugural event of its Thought Leadership Series, "The Intersection of Sustainable Investment and Philanthropy in Africa," will take place on November 13, 2014, hosted by SAP in Palo Alto, CA. This first event of a series is aimed at highlighting the broad range of economic and social opportunities present in Africa. “There have been similar events in Silicon Valley,” said Erna Grasz, founder and CEO of Asante Africa Foundation, “but this series is

Democratic Rep. Bobby Rush, who has been in office since 1993, isn't much of a presence in the district or on Capitol Hill. He took a leave of absence to deal with his wife's illness, no doubt a big reason he missed more than a third of votes in 2013. Bu

AS the spectre of Ebola stalks the world, people everywhere are looking accusingly at the ECOWAS presidents. Like the commandants from whose prison a jailbreak of very dangerous prisoners has just happened, they had better have a damned good explanation of the event or face court martial, etc. The citizens of ECOWAS demand no less. How can these presidents allow such a thing to happen on their watch and disgrace all Africans?  Aspersions of all sorts are being cast on us as incompetent to manage

“Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto Mount Carmel,

and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves

four hundred, which eat at Jezebel's table. So Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel.

And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions?

if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him.

And the people answered him not a word. Then said Elijah unto the

Amnesty Aims to Encourage All Political Parties to Participate in National Dialogue

Equatorial Guinea's President, Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, has signed an amnesty decree granting pardon to all citizens who had been convicted of political crimes, whether or not they have served or are serving sentences, and to those who have begun any disciplinary action that constitutes an obstacle to the exercise of political activities.

President Obiang signed the General Amnesty Decree within the framework of the

PRO-LIFE AFRICAN AMERICANS MARCH NATIONWIDE TO THE SUPREME COURT HOPING TO BRING AN END TO ABORTION

-- Group says the leading cause of death of African Americans is abortion, and 52% of all African American pregnancies end in abortion. --

On October 11-13, 2014, the Life Education And Resource Network (L.E.A.R.N.), the largest African American Pro-life group in America, led a contingency of over 400 people (predominately African Americans) in demonstrations to end abortion. The demonstrations w
