In preparation for the start of the NBA G-League season, they held their 24th annual draft, seeing two former HBCU players hear their names called.
NASCAR has expanded their Campus Lab Program to Winston-Salem State University, a historically Black institution in North Carolina. The partnership makes WSSU the first institution in North Carolina and the first public university in the country to join the NASCAR initiative.
The narrative of the absence of Black fathers has been overblown. It has been perpetuated over the decades even with statistics to show the contrary. Since 1976, more resident fathers were in Black households in 2023 than any year in between. According to the National Fatherhood Initiative, “children who grow up with their dads are more likely to thrive physically, emotionally, and socially than are children who grow up without their dads.”
After weeks of controversy and armchair coaching by fans on social media, the FAMU football team seemed to catch fire in their Homecoming game vs. Texas Southern University. The Rattlers opened the game on defense and forced TSU to punt on 4th and 16 from the TSU 27-yard line. The Rattlers first possession put six on the board when Daniel Richardson found Quan Lee for a one-yard touchdown to kick off the rattler scoring after 12 plays and 70 yards. FAMU again held Texas Southern to a four and out series and they punted again. TSU returned the favor and forced the Rattlers to a four and out. The first quarter ended with the score 7-0 FAMU.

As I observe the presidential election where a sitting vice president with impeccable credentials is being held to strict scrutiny, a higher standard when compared to her opponent, a 34 times convicted felon, we clearly understand that some must reach extraordinary heights and overcome intentional stumbling blocks as a matter of course in the public sphere of politics. Every politician seeks the endorsement of legitimate major and/or minor news outlets to enhance accomplishing intended outcome of winning. So it was no different with Mr. Richard Walker, who sought the support of one of South Florida’s leading newspapers .
I would love for FAMU to revisit the one-year contract offered to men’s basketball coach Patrick Crarey.
