Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. believed in the transformative power of school integration. He would be dismayed by America's present day paradox: the rapidly expanding racial diversity of our society accompanied by the increasing segregation of our urban schools.
Dr. King's commitment to school integration was ultimately animated by the desire to transform this nation into a "beloved community." His vision of the beloved community i
DRY BONES, I WILL OPEN YOUR GRAVES!!!

“…Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.

This article was originally going to be a big spread in tribute to my sorority: DELTA SIGMA THETA, INC. However, on Monday, January 7, I tragically and suddenly lost the love of my life, Lou Wilson, of the group, Mandrill Inc., to a cardiac arrest, that took him so violently from us that I am still stunned by it all.
So this is a shorter version of the piece I wanted to do to honor my Sorors:

THE SEED OF THE BIBLICAL ISRAELITES
COULD BE BLACK?
December 25, 2012
THE MOST HIGH CREATOR GOD OF HOSTS BE EXALTED ALWAYS AND FOREVER!
Why is it so hard to believe that the SEED of the Biblical Israelites are Black? Is it because we have always been taught to believe that we were never a people of renown or status? That is what the Slavers led us to believe, right? Is it because this revelation has not come from the mouths of the White powers-that-be? Have they al
As I have reflected on the year just ended, I noticed everyone doing their usual year-end lists of the biggest winners and losers of the year. I am not a big fan of these lists, but I will acknowledge that the Black community was the biggest loser of 2012.
