     Traci Braxton, a musician who appeared with her family on the reality program “Braxton Family Values,” died on March 12 at the age of 50.

     Because of this message, Stacy’s family members have a very different perspective on why Rubin Stacy was lynched. The message tells of Rubin’s frightful nights in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in Broward County. It tells of the events leading up to the three-day horror Rubin Stacy endured before he was lynched by an organized vigilante mob. Note that there is evidence that the mob was spearheaded by the county Deputy Bob Clark, brother of Sheriff Walter Clark.

New coronavirus cases are at their lowest level since last summer. The daily average number of new cases is 34,000; a 48% decrease over the last 2 weeks. 

     March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, and although there is more discussion about this cancer than in years past, there is a large proportion of the Black community that does not know the risk factors that make them more susceptible to colorectal cancer compared to other racial groups.

The event, which occurred on Friday, March 11, 2022, included Dr. Martin Luther King, Larkdale, North Side, Thurgood  Marshall, Park Ridge, and Village Elementaries. I specifically chose Park Ridge because of my niece Geneva Henry, a special education teacher and her daughter Neva’eh, a second grader there. Their heartfelt invitation initiated this unforgettable experience.

     Dr. Bridget had the vision of creating a book that inspired and educated others about cannabis and CBD through storytelling. Even though her background is highly focused in evidence-based medicine, what others find inspirational are the testimonies of everyday people, not the research numbers.

     Nicki Minaj claims that rapper Lil Wayne’s remarks about her body drove her decision to have butt injections. Nicki said on ‘The Joe Budden Podcast’ that Lil Wayne used to mock her about having a little ass while hanging out with him at the beginning of her career.

      While the world has been focused on the growing numbers of COVID-19 causalities, the media has somewhat ignored the long-term educational and economic impacts of the pandemic – especially for Black students. Although there has been some attention given to the disparities between Black Americans and other groups contracting the virus, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Black community will be recovering from the impact of COVID-19, health wise, economically, and educationally for at least the next two decades.
