“Many African Americans Believe They Have Native American Heritage… Whether Real or Imagined…” (Dr. Ellison NMAI, Smithsonian IndiVisible Video)
Greetings To All Whom These Blessing May Come! It is difficult deciding where to start on this occasion, but, for Corey Tye and Black Indians of the Americas, a
On January 21, 2013, Hadiya Pendleton performed at President Obama’s Inauguration and on Tuesday, January 29, 2013, she was killed by gun fire while hanging out with friends at a park in Chicago, IL USA. This story truly saddens me. Any unnecessary loss of life is a sad occasion. I have been proposing a solutions to gun violence to political leaders, including The White House, yet they seem hell bent on playing political games with the National Rifle Association (NRA).
We all know that the Secon

For many across the country, the King Day of Service is a day off. It is a day when the obligation of work is taken off their shoulders and as such, they enjoy the opportunity to take a break from their hectic daily activities and withdraw into the solitude of their homes. Yet, for many more, this significant day is consider not a day off but one in which the legacies of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. must be reinvigorated and the tradition of his selflessness be both reflected upon and used to insp
ASPIRING AUTHOR MAKES FINANCIAL FREEDOM AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE
• The month of February is the time when most people receive a "kickback" from the government. It is also a time, when those same people go "spending crazy". Tax return season brings happiness for most and quickly brings heartache in the end. This common cycle inspired Nicholas L. Maze, the author of EXIT, to reduce the price of his "Financial Bible" for eBook readers. To help prevent the heartache that comes along with tax return se

Where do we begin to capture the raw human gravity pervading the air at the ‘17th Annual Dinner Tribute to Black Political Prisoners’ hosted by the Malcolm X Commemoration Committee last week at the MLK 1199 Labor Center in New York City?
Do we begin with the obvious room full of emotion for men and women who are now virtually unknown to the communities they sacrificed their lives for?
Or the haunting litany of the time-served for most of the longest held political prisoners captur

By Susan EatonFifth-grader Alyx has trouble naming the "absolute coolest" thing about Wilson Focus School, part of an innovative educational model called the Learning Community that provides students opportunities to attend diverse schools in highly segregated areas.
Alyx says it’s not just the snakes and other reptiles, not just the "totally amazing and beautiful" Australian blue-tongued skink caged in her classroom. It’s not just her teacher, Mr. Mitchell, "who is so great, who is the best." A
Rudolph Lewis on the Crisis of the Pan African Intellectual
We must admit honestly Pan Africans do not have a military to counter Europe, USA and or China. Or even a rag-tag army of jihadists. We only have words of caution and awareness of the dangers of foreign powers on the African continent, whether they are Christian or Muslims. Pan Africans are talkers, theorists, not men of action (military soldiers). . . .
The situation shows also the weakness of African states and of the African Union. .

Four years ago, President Obama made history by becoming the first Black president in the history of the U.S. I would like to think that even those who did not support his candidacy were proud of what the American people demonstrated—that anything is possible within our system of government. Play by the rules, work hard, present a compelling agenda and the American people will respond.
Obama was by far a much better candidate than John McCain and
The Enemy of Self
You are your own worst enemy. If anyone shoots you in the foot, it will be you and you alone. Actually, you qualify for the mental institution since you are a danger to yourself and others. The most danger facing the Black man is himself, after which come his brother and his woman, then the white man. If he can become disciplined enough to out maneuver these forces, he shall see a brighter day, but most often he gets trapped in one of these black holes and find himself sinking i
Crisis of the Pan African Intellectual
What is the revolutionary Pan African position on the Euro-American-Chinese occupation of Africa?
And what can the Diaspora do to stop the military campaigns for the mineral riches of Africa? Do we have drones, nukes, what? Can we tell African heads of state who are now in league with the Euro-Americans not to join the West in its supposed role of stopping the Islamic revolution? Perhaps we should make clear that the Arab Islamists, including the African Arab
