If you have been paying close attention, or any attention at all to the news, you know by now that the powers that be have started character attacks on Black politicians. In Dallas, the current FBI probe has expanded its investigation, which initially targeted a few brothers in high-ranking positions involved in city politics, to include sistahs.

But, wait. Educators are also agents for change. Then there are medical personnel, business owners, social service professionals, labors, domestic workers and of course journalists. Anyone in these professions may find themselves on the list of
