NNPA NEWSWIRE — Dr. King spent the final chapter of his life pushing the country to face economic injustice. The day before he was tragically assassinated, Dr. King stood with sanitation workers in Memphis to call for economic equality.

International megalomania is a dangerous syndrome—an obsessive drive for dominance on the world stage fused with a false belief in personal invincibility. History provides unmistakable examples of megalomaniac figures such as Joseph Stalin, Muossilini, and Adolf Hitler.

On a cold January morning, a small group of visitors walks through a National Park, expecting to honor Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy. The gates are open, but the celebration is absent—no banners, no programs, no recognition. Juneteenth, too, has vanished from the federal calendar. Last year, the Pentagon paused Black History Month.

Generative AI has dominated our conversations and reshaped how we work, learn, and create. In a recent article published in the Afro American Newspaper titled “Shaping the Future: Black Leadership in Tech Regulation”, Hussainatu Blake and Symone Campbell’s central argument isn’t about AI’s technical capabilities. It’s about safeguarding intellectual property and building regulatory infrastructure that protects Black technologists’ ideas, stories, and data.
President Donald Trump’s long-serving aide, Stephen Miller, recently opined: “We live in a world, in the real world … that is governed by strength, that is governed by force, that is governed by power. These are the iron laws of the world.”
Hypocrisy in the highest offices
They hate federal overreach. They should be appalled at what’s happening in cities all across the United States. Unwarranted National Guard deployments. Seven hundred Marines illegally sent into Los Angeles. Over 2,000 armed agents in Minneapolis. Murders of citizens by immigration agents. Threats to invoke the Insurrection Act when it is Trump’s federal agents who are breaking the law and causing chaos.
