Constable Ruben Davis’ Annual Prayer
Breakfast Unites the Community

Hope is coming to Sunnyside residents.
It was the message Houston Mayor Bill White recently conveyed when introducing the residents to Project Houston Hope and encouraging their assistance with helping to revitalize the neighborhood.
The gathering was held in the Sunnyside Multi-Service Center and council members Ada Edwards and Gordon Quan and city staff members Assistant Director Mina Gerall, Principal Planner Karsan Hirani and others attended to offer support. White told residents and leaders to work closer with the mayor’s office.

East Texas News

It has occurred to me that many among us (Black folks) understand the cost of almost all “material things”, but don’t seem to understand the value of “very little” that is real and vital to us as a people. I heard an intelligent Black man say on C-span recently that Black people don’t pay for their politics. While there are some enlightened freedom fighting exceptions to that rule, for the most part it’s a true statement.

 

Celebrating The Life of Mrs. Gladys Josey

A multitude gathered in June at the Fifth Ward Missionary Baptist Church, 4300 Noble Street, Houston, Texas, where Rev. Leonard N. Barksdale serves as pastor, to celebrate the life of Gladys Josey Cummings.

"The religious is any activity pursued in behalf of an ideal end against obstacles and in spite of threats of personal loss because of its general and enduring value."

- John Dewey
