STAFF SGT. DAMON BRODY (right), a star athlete from Houston, Texas, has always displayed courage under fire.

Young’s generation is
Black America Proud

African-AmericanNews& Issues, Texas’ widest circulated and read newspaper with a Black perspective, certainly is “Houston Proud” of Vincent Young’s exploits in the Rose Bowl, but he only epitomizes Black America’s younger generation that is keeping hope alive at a time when descendents of slave’s very existence is being threaten.

What Do Seniors do at Christmas Time?

“Children’s children are a crown to the aged and Parents are the pride of their children.” “Gray Hair” is a crown to the aged; to live to see one’s grandchildren is considered a great blessing. Parents are truly the pride of their children.”

PUBLISHER’S ANALYSIS
by Roy Douglas Malonson

“Lunch Bunch” Enjoys Malonson’s
Six Course Repast

 

It wasn’t only reassuring but flattering to be given an opportunity to speak to a full house at the year’s first (Thursday) Acres Home Citi-zens Chamber of Commerce’s (in alliance with the Acres Home Center For Business and Economic Development) monthly Business Networking Luncheon, at the Beulah Ann Shepard Building, 6112 Wheatley, on Jan. 5, 2006.

INSIDE & ONLINE
AFRICAN-AMERICAN NEWS & ISSUES

TwiliteZone.com — Most of our community leaders like Odessa Sayles, the Adopt A Black Child legend, not only depend on African-American News&Issues to get their message out, but to also take care of Black Houston’s business. We’re flattered, but, alas, we only endorse the advertisers in our MarketPlace section. Thus, we’re unable to recommend a Black owned Security Company to hire for the National Association of Black Social Workers when it holds its 38th National Conference in Houston April 11 - 15, 2006.
