God bless President Bush’s successor

PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH is doing damage control, to improve his approval rating, so that he won’t be remembered in America’s history as a “Lame Duck” chief excutive that couldn’t fly.

PUBLISHER’S ANALYSIS
by Roy Douglas Malonson

 New Orleans Evacuees are
Mayor White’s new friends

The “Friends of Bill White,” who made him a “strong mayor,” proved to be friends, indeed, when he called on them to use their diverse re-sources to help him, help the victims of Katrina that were desperately in need.


 The Struggle Continues as Cities

Hurricane survivors James and Donna Nelson, left and Leo and Annie Tate, right, of New Orleans were married in a double ceremony in a Fort Worth Shelter

Feature News

Hurricane Katrina taking
toll on energy costs

The aftermath of Hurricane Katrina will be felt by those in the Gulf Coast for years. While our Texas cities are opening their doors, and Texans are opening their hearts, there is no way to fully prepare for the long-term devastation of Katrina. Yet, in the near term, people across the country are feeling the brunt of this storm in different ways, especially at the gas station.
 

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.

 

 

Sheltering New Orleanians Beyond Limits

When hurricane Katrina pounded the gulf coast last month, she left the city of New Orleans underwater and its people with little more than a few articles of clothing and memories.
New Orleans residents began spreading across the country and thousands found solace with Mayor Bill White and the city of Houston.

"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
