     It is no secret that community newspapers, hard hit by the transition from print to digital, have been further crippled by the coronavirus pandemic, as businesses dealing with their own financial viability have withdrawn advertising in droves. That is resulted in many publications implementing layoffs, furloughs, and cost-cutting measures to stay afloat until the economy — and hopefully the advertising dollar with it — rebounds.

Saint Augustine’s University School of Business, Management, and Technology (SBMT) has announced the formation of the first HBCU cycling team in the country via the Department of Sport Management. This team is a club sport within the SBMT.

In 1990, Professor Oyibo published the GAGUT theorem that he says answered all forms of equations and theorems to space, time, and life itself, as well as all theorems of the past, present and future. It originated out of and can be represented by one invariant Gi, which has orthogonal components Gij, and a divergence of Gij,j=0. GAGUT has therefore unified all of mathematics into one equation Gij.j=0 and so has already provided the solutions to all mathematics problems. His theorem states that all elements of the universe are controlled by a form of GOD or GOD’S spirit, thus proving the existence of a GOD.

Danielle Geathers—a rising junior at the university who majors in mechanical engineering—won the student government election along with her vice president running mate Yu Jing Chen.

In 1971, a local newspaper published a story that misquoted Levi Henry, Jr. Mr. Henry went to the editor and asked him to correct the statement. Recognizing that the newspaper had other intent which seemed more interested in placating  their well-connected “friends” than reporting the truth or shedding a light on issues that impacted his community, Levi Henry Jr. established the Westside Gazette to be such a platform for telling the truth and sharing the positive stories about Black people. With the motto, A positive paper for a positive people, the Westside Gazette was born.

     A Virginia judge has ordered a 10 day halt to Governor Ralph Northam’s plan to remove a statue of Robert E. Lee statue on Richmond’s historic Monument Avenue. Northam announced on June 4 that the monument would come down, after days of heated protests rocked the city. Richmond was the capital of the Confederacy during the Civil War, and is often at the epicenter of heated national debates about the war’s losing side.
