Collectively, we have followed the rise and eventual fall of The Wendy Williams Show. Even beyond its era there remains no shortage of breaking news material associated with its Pop Culture/Hip Hop Culture  favorite Host Wendy Williams trials and tribulations. 

51 years ago, the Westside Gazette was born, like other obligations, answers, and history, out of necessity for service to the advancement of a people not to be invisible. We do understand and wholeheartedly embrace the fact that we did not come this far by ourselves without the energies, spirits, people, and prayers that have prepared us and, in some instances, carried us, we would not be here. Knowing that we don’t exist without each other we honor those who have been and are the thread to bind and create the pages of our history together.

Michael C. Roper, Sunrise – February 7, 1964 – Sunset – November 7, 2022. Viewing will be held on Friday, November 18, 2022, from 5 to 8 p.m. at Elijah Bell Funeral Home, 3750 North State 7, Lauderdale Lakes, Florida.

       As I sat in the audience at the Broward Schools Board meeting on yesterday as they discussed the approved termination of superintendent Vicky Cartwright, at one time I thought that I was at a dress rehearsal of a stage play called “what went wrong with the attorney.” If you have been following the news and the saga surrounding the BROWARD COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD, you know that the superintendent has been criticized and rightfully so for her incompetency in her leadership ability as overseen in managing herself and others.

An 18-year-old sex trafficking victim who killed her rapist was being held in an Iowa jail Wednesday and could face a prison term after she walked away from a Des Moines women’s shelter where she was serving probation for a manslaughter conviction.

       Tracing ain’t for the feeble and weak, but Ol’ Peter is up for the job. The Detective sat for two days in School Board meetings and watched in wonder as Superintendent Vickie Cartwright was fired, then considered for rehire, then confirmed as fired.

The suspect, who has been identified as a student, is still at large. After a shooting was reported on Culbreth Road at around 10:40 p.m., the university was instructed to remain indoors. Lockdown has been in place while police look for the suspect. Police have named the suspect as Christopher Darnell Jones, Jr. They think he is armed and dangerous. The two injured people are receiving medical attention.
