Maury Wills: Bringing Baseball Back to the ‘Hood a Priority for Baseball Great

The game of baseball still has a place in the hoods’ across America, according to former L.A. Dodgers’ shortstop, Maury Wills.
“We are doing all we can to get African American kids at a young age interested in baseball again,” he said. “We are missing out on all the good athletes going into other sports.”
Wills said children today are more interested in instant gratification and results, and are not in a frame of mind for any more advice.

East Texas News

Until racism cease to exist in America, I will continue to write about, fight and challenge it at any level. That’s my answer to the people who say I am too focused on racial issues and negative things happening to Black people in America. “Freedom ain’t free,” never has been and never will be. Assaults on the civil rights of a historically oppressed and disenfranchised people up from slavery will always be a news worthy subject in the mind of this journalist.

 

Proactive Solutions for Racial Injustice from Fed Up Victim of Racial Profiling

Busi Peters said she refuses to be the victim of “death by a thousand little cuts.”
She is tired of taking episodes of injustice cut by cut. Peters has directed her energy to solution and action, rather than passively letting people in positions of power cut her until she slowly bleeds to death, after experiencing racial profiling from Rice University police.
