    IN MEMORIAM: Legendary Funk Pioneer Sly Stone Dies at 82

    By Carma HenryJune 11, 2025

           Sylvester “Sly” Stewart—known to the world as Sly Stone, frontman of the groundbreaking band Sly and the Family Stone—has died at the age of 82. His family confirmed that he passed away peacefully at his Los Angeles home, surrounded by loved ones, after battling chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and other health complications. Born March 15, 1943, in Denton, Texas, Stone moved with his family to Vallejo, California, as a child. He began recording gospel music at age eight with his siblings in a group called the Stewart Four. By his teenage years, he had mastered multiple instruments and was already pioneering racial integration in music—an ethos that would define his career.

    Scourge of Deadly Vengeance

    November 1, 20235 Mins Read442 Views

       Both America and Israel can’t and should never   allow any of its enemies, especially weak unsophisticated ones, to launch a surprise attack killing thousands of its citizens. They must be ever so cognizant of how their own foreign policies and suppressive tactics create an endless slate of enemies. Regrettably, failure to prevent such attacks gives rise to the scourge of deadly vengeance.

         It was much more than a political assessment when I declared 15 months ago that “we know Joe, and most importantly, Joe knows us.” Joe Biden is succeeding because of he understands the needs and aspirations of the American people. His bold and inclusive initiatives are restoring the faith of those who have been hardest hit by the current health and economic crises and raising the hopes of those who had already been hard hit by injustices in our society long before these crises struck.

       During the early Civil Rights Movement when women worked behind the scenes, her quiet power brought wisdom and a social worker’s perspective to deliberations and strategies of the “Big Six” civil rights leaders. With an understanding of the importance of power of location, she purchased a building in Washington, D.C. between the White House and the Capitol, the only African American-owned building along that corridor of power.
