A Message From The Publisher

     In trying to understand the totality of the underlining repercussions of this virus, it is truly unappreciated and unrecognizable until it hits home on your doorsteps.

     If you don’t pay your light bill your lights will go off, yet when a bad storm comes and knocks out your lights, you have no control; but either way you’re in the darkness. On one hand you caused the darkness; on the other, you could not stop the darkness.

     In times like these we questioned everything that happens good bad or in-different. We can’t seem to find the answers to justify what we consider to be the means to what is happening. We run rampant searching for answers to appease us to suppress the anxieties that we feel because of our human frailties.

     This Wuhan Coronavirus has focused our attention on what has been happening right under our own noses. It’s like Chickenpox,  Measles, Mumps and the Flu have taken some steroids and morphed into the $20,000,000,000 AI virus.

Trust God and depend on the government… Hmm?

      The more I think about the perplexing situations that we find ourselves in, the more I realize that we are the only ones who can save us from our own demise.

The Power of the Black Vote

Welcoming the National Newspaper Publishers Association to Fort Lauderdale has reinforced and confirmed my beliefs to the need for the survival of the Black Press. As we stand on the precipice of a new beginning for the disseminating of information to Black people, about Black people, telling our own story and writing the narrative for us. For the record, let us not forget the path from which we came.

The civil rights struggle wasn’t only concerned with racial equality. It was about increasing American democracy, reestablishing Black voting rights, thus open handedly giving new meaning to American democracy and shutting down segregation. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. a prophet, played a vital role in all of the aforementioned areas and transitioned to glory before their completion.
