Black Churches Tap Own Talents, Resources to Help Survivors
 

For Kevin and Peggy Thomas, losing their home in New Orleans to the wrath of Hurricane Katrina, was tragic, but it is nothing compared to the swell of support from the new friends her family gained after escaping deplorable conditions and making it to Dallas.

Linda Dunson, Not Just Another Lawyer

Attorney Linda Dunson said it takes a very special person to become an attorney, because every case can be different.
She vouches on being that special person and will get the job done. A true attorney, according to her, has to stay focus on each case, because sometimes you can win some and also can loose a few.
“Some people do not know the meaning of an attorney,” said Dunson. “An attorney is a professional who represents clients in a court or advises them on legal matters.”

East Texas News

What did our country, government and people learn from the tragedy of September 11, 2001 (911)? After the devastation of hurricane Katrina, I would have to say we haven’t learned much. Homeland security, FEMA, the U.S. military, the coast guard and the rest of the people in charge of taking care of U.S. citizens, displayed very little professionalism in our recent American disaster Katrina. In my mind, the color and financial condition of the evacuees were a major factor in the rescue, evacuation, security and stabilization of New Orleans and the other areas hit by hurricane Katrina. Katrina was a litmus test for the United States and we (America) failed the test with large scale bungling.

 

THIS BUD’S FOR YOU

I was set to give KCOH’s elder statesman, DJ Don Sams, a belated birthday (Sept. 30) shout-out, when the Houston Press edition that named the station “Houston’s Best” hit the streets, thus I can package my kudos and also salute the G. M. Mike Petrizzo and the Program Director Travis Gardner, insofar as they quietly work behind the scenes to make everything else works so effectively. For Sure, Wash Allen’s (“Houston’s Best Talk Show”) Confessions, is surely the most unique program in the nation and Michael Harris’ Person-to-Person generates more controversy than all of the other asinine call-in radiotalk shows combined. KCOH Radio is the oldest black radio station in Texas. Established in 1953, KCOH began broadcasting from downtown Houston in the M&M building.
