The Rev. F. D. Lawson,
left of center (blue shirt) and community activist Rev. Kyev
Tatum, center, (suit) and other pastors are in a fight with city
hall over the Harmony Missionary Baptist church’s property.
Leaders are demanding more voice downtown and better
accountability from city leaders, who are trying to tax and take
their land, and turn it over to a developer building a new
subdivision adjacent to the church.

New City Manager: Increased Cooperation, Diversity to Drive Growth in Southern Dallas
Developing the southern
sector of Dallas and taking advantage of the city’s increasing diversity
are the most important elements in securing the future growth of the
city.
“The Southern sector is our future, because it is the only place where
we have land for growth and development,” said new Dallas City Manager
Mary Suhm. “It is challenging, but we have to set the example and put
structures in place that brings the private sector and other people in,
who recognize what a good opportunity this is.” Suhm, a quiet woman,
daily comes to work ready for the challenges and is undaunted by the
task of reducing crime and bringing progress to an area economically
depressed for years. |

Ignorance of a law is not
an excuse when it comes to being accused of breaking a law you didn’t
know existed in the first place. At least that’s the way the American
judicial system interprets the law. Ignorance of historical laws also
comes with its own unique set of consequences and pitfalls. Take for
instance the recent controversy in a Southern state where a young
African American male wanted to pose in his high school’s yearbook with
a large “belt rope” around his neck.

Capoeria Angola: Ancient African art form for the struggling
“If the world turns
upside down, walk on your hands.”
Capoeria Angola is an ancient martial art form originating from the
Macupe tribe in the Congos. Eight musicians play instruments while the
community congregates in a circle or roda (meaning wheel). Two players,
who first bow to the berimbau, the main instrument of capoeria, enter
the center of the circle. As the rhythm of the African drums intensify,
the players move in a series of martial arts and acrobatic movements
meant to render their opponents defenseless, using only seven basic
physical movements. |
