Black America needs the historic NAACP
In 1911, that organization was incorporated as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People - the NAACP. And, for sure, the historic NAACP was about serious business, that certainly didn’t included Freedom Fund and Awards Banquets bankrolled by Corporate America.

PUBLISHER’S ANALYSIS
by Roy Douglas Malonson

Ron Wilson is making Black History

REP. RON WILSON knows how to play political games, but chooses to be real.


Dr. Michael P. Williams Plaza dedicated
Guests at the Street Re-naming ceremony. Inset: Street sign bearing the new name.
Dr. Williams’ son, Michael Patrick Williams II, Esq., proclaimed the renaming of Carol Lane to the DR. MICHAEL P. WILLIAMS PLAZA as an announcement to the community and the world, that a man of vision has come to this place and that the community will be changed for the better because of it.

HCC to Honor Rep. Al Edwards
Representative Al Edwards was on the front lines in the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s, marching peacefully, risking violence. He stood with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Jesse Jackson, Carl Stokes, Rev. Bill Lawson and others in demonstrations that changed the course of history.

Dr. Michael Bell is a preacher activist, who believes in the prophetic teachings of speaking truth to power and known not only to be an outstanding minister, and a top scholar, but also as a fearless warrior in the fight for liberation

How I wish I could pigeon-hole myself and neatly fix a label on! But self-knowledge comes too late and by the time I’ve known myself I am no longer what I was.
