The name, Attica, has entered the lexicon of American culture, driven, in part, by the cinema performance in "Dog Day Afternoon", when actor Al Pacino raised his fist and exclaimed, "Attica! Attica!"

Viewers immediately got the reference, for on Sept. 9, 1971 – Attica – a reference to the state prison in upstate New York – was the biggest story in the country.

There, prisoners rebelled, took hostages, and demanded to be treated as men, and the State, under orders of then-Governor Nelson Rockef

NAACP Victorious in Overturning Voter ID in Texas

by Gloria Dulan-Wilson

Kudos to the NAACP for having won a major victory in Texas in the ongoing fight against the rep-ugh-blicans efforts to drag us backwards into the 19th century: the federal court struck down the Texas Voter ID law, stating it unfairly discriminated against “communities of color and was, therefore, in vioilation of Section 5 of the 1965 Voting Rights Act.”

Hopefully this will send a clear signal to other states that are trying t

A People Beyond Redemption?

I have been moribund, as far as writing articles, for about three months. Honestly these days, I just don’t feel like writing, however, I comment on other peoples’ writings or on national issues on social media like Facebook and Twitter. And since I do not write for a living, in fact, I never get paid; I am never under any pressure or deadline. Maybe that will save my health from deteriorating further in despair, frustration, anger and desperation. Please I am not blaming it on anybody or on the

have an innovative idea for a hurricane and typhoon solution that can reduce the billions of dollars and lives destroyed by seasonal hurricane and typhoons. Too bad that we have leadership in the White House that ignores innovative ideas and solutions to national problems. I won't waste my time going through the motions of submitting more ideas that keep getting ignored. Maybe new leadership will consider innovative ideas, even if they come from a Black African American Inventor and Entrepreneur

Filmmaker Nisa Ra scored big brownie points for her project Black Love Lives when she was able to interview Dr. Nathan Hare. And near the end of her talk with Dr. Nathan Hare, his wife, Dr. Julia Hare, of 55 years returned from a walk and at the urging of her psychologist/sociologist husband, sat down at the piano and began playing and simultaneously joking and poking at her husband. Videographer Gregory Fields captured her performance and acid wit, so well known to those who caught her at Tavis

With all the lies being swirled about by the meanstream press, Mitt-twits, Ryan, Akin, and others in an effort to undermine President Obama, I would be totally remiss if I let this day end without sending this wonderful message to the President via Joel and Victoria Osteen.

Everybody needs a boost every once and a while, and that is as true of President Obama as any of the rest of us. And since I know that Blacks in America are praying for him every day, I thought I'

At a time when public trust in our Public Servants is at an all time low, at a time when so many of our Bronx politicians have been tainted; Public confidence in our Democracy requires the greatest level of transparency.

Borough President Ruben Diaz, Jr’s decision to publicly support the one of the two developers seeking to redevelop the Kingsbridge Armory without first holding Borough-wide Public Hearings should not go unquestioned and unchallenged.

   I am not a religious person, but I do have a deep and abiding faith in God the Living Spirit Almighty.  And you know, you just gotta give God a lot of praise because he just keeps handing us these monumental gifts, signs and wonders, despite the fact that we keep squandering them, and then begging for mercy for our errors. 

First, He gives us President Barack Obama</span> to lead us out of the mess that the Bush administration and his predatory supporters put us in,
