       For the first four years of Madden Football, starting in 1988, all the players were the same color.  At the time over 75-percent of the players in the NFL were Black. However in oversight all the players were represented as Caucasian.  No one at EA Sports took a moment to consider that this was a false representation of the NFL.

There is a VERY deep lesson in Travis Hunter’s three year climb from being the top high school football player in America (according to Rivals, ESPN, 24/7 Sports and other media outlets that provide such rankings), to winning the Heisman Trophy—an award given annually to the top player in the collegiate game. Simply stated, that lesson is that we all must have unwavering faith in the vision that has been placed in our hearts for our own lives—be it professional, personal, or a combination of the two!

     African American faith leaders across the country are raising their voices in response to the results of the 2024 election with a mix of feelings in terms of how they are ministering to their members, many of whom were deeply disappointed by the defeat of Vice President Kamala Harris by former President Donald Trump, now President-elect again.

     During the ceremony, which was livestreamed on PBSC’s website, PBSC awarded degrees and certificates to more than 1,800 graduates including more than 800 graduates of the Associate in Arts degree program and more than 1,000 graduates of the Associate in Science, Bachelor of Applied Science and Bachelor of Science degree programs and the certificate programs.

The Delray Beach Downtown Development Authority (DDA) is thrilled to announce the schedule for The Set Neighborhood Alliance’s annual Twelve Days of Christmas Love & Joy Celebration.

       It is a well-known fact that President-Elect Donald Trump is expected to follow the proposed plans for reshaping our American government.  Proof of this is evident in many of the Proposed Cabinet nominations he has made so far. We know that the Heritage Foundation has spent time and money planning this revamping of government. What many of us don’t know or understand is that this process has been used by Presidential Administrations, once out of office, to plan for the next Presidential election.
