On March 15, 2025, Brothers David Dickerson and Anthony Barber organized and planned for 45th Charter Day Celebration at Pompey Park. A semi-open grill filled with arranged racks on wheels was delivered to cook the best burgers, chicken, hot dogs, and ribs prepared by the famous Troy’s Barbecue. Brothers Dickerson and Barber planned for a feast of the nearly 80 plus membership. When the brothers convened, they enjoyed the great weather, music, and of course, the scrumptious meal.

Lance Gooden ripped the sign from Ms. Stansbury’s hands was not surprising. What is remarkable was that more Democrats didn’t highlight Rep. Stansbury’s message.
School Board Partners’ (SBP) latest paper, Fulfilling Promises: What America’s School Boards Actually Need to Succeed identifies three core challenges that hinder the effectiveness of school boards nationwide: a lack of representation, a lack of role clarity, and a lack of training and resources. To address these obstacles, we need to ensure school boards are more representative of the students they serve, provide clear guidance on the responsibilities of board members, and dignify the role of board members through professional development and effective governance resources.
As a child of Holocaust survivors, the president’s public displays of callousness chill me. His proud, unapologetic heartlessness reminds me how humans are capable of unspeakable brutality. Yale University psychology professor Paul Bloom describes cruelty as even worse than dehumanization. Dehumanization is what enables soldiers to enter into battle and kill without moral paralysis.
