Lewis Smith ~ Over the past year or so, many events have been occurring in the Black Community at the hand of the Black Community that continues to bring continual shame and degradation to the honorable memories, sacred struggle and sacrifice of African-American ascendants. Some may argue against it, but these acts continue to adversely affect the growth, development, and progression of the Black community, on a whole, to this very day.

In 1966, Black Friday was the name the Philadelphia Police Department gave to the Friday after Thanksgiving.  The police hated the day — massive traffic jams, overcrowded sidewalks, lots of shopl
