Dr. King, I just wanted to say that you are in our heart and minds FOREVER. There are many people attempting to be and sound like you, but you will never be duplicated.

HBO is showing a excellent documentary dealing with the 50 anniversary of Little Rock desegregation. If you get the chance, PLEASE watch this insightful look at Little Rock 50 years after desegregation. I found it very thought provoking.HBO Documentary: Little Rock: 50 Years Later

On August 29th, the world will take a moment to remember the tragic events of Hurricane Katrina. Our President will hold a press conference touting everything that his administration has done for the area. He also plans on spending the night in New Orleans to show the world that he is ON THE FRONTLINES. Unfornately, things in New Orleans are no better than they were one year ago. There STILL are

Not Jesse Jackson! Not Al Sharton! Not even Colin Powell! Barack Obama, the freshmen Senator from Illinois, will be the first black President of the United States. Mr. Obama has something we haven't seen since William Jefferson Clinton was elected President. He's charismatic!

In life we all have something that just scares us to death. For some people it's not having enough money to pay the rent. For others, it's not getting married or having kids before their biological clock starts ringing. For me, it's being mistaken for someone that just committed a crime (and spending time in jail for it). Yesterday's Washington Post told the story of Maryland resident Elias

I can remember the day as if it just happened. Everyone in school was crying. Although many of us didn't know Len Bias personally, he still felt like family. My high school had the future Prince Georges County all-time leading scorer on the team, but Northwestern had THE M-A-N. Our star player was one of the best players I have seen but LEN was THE BEST.

Last evening I watched a program on VH-1 entitled "Hip-Hop Videos: Sexploitation On The Set." I have to say, the program made me angry. In the beginning of the video craze (the 80's), women walked around in videos but many people didn't pay attention to them (except for Ola Ray in Micheal Jackson's "Thriller" video) because they usually didn't have anything to do with the lyrics of the song or

Today I had the opportunity to see the HBO documentary entitled "Baghdad ER". This film gives the viewer an inside look of life in the military emergency room. Unlike the "ER" television series, this documentary is raw, and uncut trauma. Once again, if you are still undecided about voting in the upcoming election, this documentary will certainly get you thinking. It caused me to instantly pray

The Washington Post has embarked on a series entitled "Being A Black Man." This series include surveys and interviews with men from all walks of life. Some of the men interviewed include NBA All-Star Gilbert Arenas, former Secretary of State Colin Powell, local pastor Deron Cloud, and a host of other men.

A recent study by Health Day News found that lower socioeconomic status usually attributes to higher stress. DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!! For those of us that have been (or currently in) living check to check or living below the poverty line, know this study is nothing new.

I was saddened to read in today's Washington Post about investigation into the actions of a Marine convey in Iraq. According to initial reports, on November 19, 2005, the convey was hit by a roadside bomb killing on solider. The initial report stated that the other Marines were being attacked by other insurgents with gunfire. From all the early reports, the investigation will reveal that the only

Bush administration gets another free pass in court. Today's Washington Post reports that a lawsuit brought by a German citizen against the CIA was dismissed because the judge thinks it would harm national security if key government officials reveal certain information. For those of you that don't follow the news, this German citizen was arrested in Macedonia in December 2003. He was beaten,

Today's Washington Post featured an article about a Catholic priest who revealed that he was sexually abused when he was young. He recently told his story about the abuse. The leaders of the Catholic church immediately took his credentials from him. Also, the Washington Hospital Center fired him.

Okay, I'm a little torn on this issue. I feel that no one deserves to die at the hands of another human being. The person that committed these crimes was wrong. Now the mental (something probably happened to him to go on this type of crime spree) lapse of this man is about to prevent the general public from identifying the molestors and rapists that live in our communities.

Government officials would rather for us to keep silent (unless we are voting for them), but it's time for the CHURCH to make a political statement. During the Civil Rights movement, Dr. King and others used the church as their headquarters and meeting place. Many of the leaders of the protest and marchers were pastors, ministers and revenrends.

What? How can it be? Today's Washington Post revealed that one of the richest school systems in Maryland will receive an additional $20 million (or more) annually at the expense of other Maryland school systems (i.e. Prince George's and Baltimore County). While Montgomery County will receive this newfound federal funding, Prince George's County school system will LOSE $20 million annually.

The researchers of this study set out to prove that praying for people to recover from illness is INEFFECTIVE. The study of more than 1,800 heart-bypass patients supposely found that those who had people praying for them had as many complications as those who

While researching the Bush administration's reason for invading Iraq, I came across a 2004 article written by Jane Mayer. This article detailed the role that Ahmad Chalabi had in the Iraq invasion. I know you are wondering, "Who is Ahmad Chalabi." Well, he was BRIEFLY in the news because the Bush administration attempted to discredit him because the media began asking questions. As with all

Wow!Amazing!Sad!Anger!Disbelief! These are the words that came to mind after I viewed President Bush's press conference from West Virginia this week.

Today's Washington Post highlighted a online message board for Montgomery County (Maryland) Police Department. The purpose of this message board was to give police officers an opportunity to share ideas, exchange light banter, and other job related information. Unfortunately, this message board has revealed the true feelings of some of officers that are suppose to protect the community.Remind me

"I have a dream that one day the state of Alabama, whose governor's lips are presently dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, will be transformed into a situation where little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls and walk together as sisters and brothers.

Today's Washington Post featured an article that included the following statement: "For a long time, the life and security of the people of the United States has not been under efficient protection. Blacks are given heavier criminal penalties, arrested more frequently and are more likely to be targeted for hate crimes." Can you guess where these comments originated?Do you give up?Come on,

The cowards have been caught! The cowards have been caught!If you recall, a few weeks ago I posted my commentary on the arson fires in Alabama. Well, I'm happy to announce that the "cowards" have been caught. According to reports, the suspects started burning the churches as part of their college pranks. What makes this "prank" even more interesting is the fact that they attended an religious

The Lent Season begins six weeks before Easter Sunday. It is a time of repentance and preparation. In Lent, we remember the temptation of Christ in the wilderness and His journey to the Cross. We become aware of how Christ humbled Himself and how God calls us, also, to humility as we participate in His redemptive purposes. We consider, also, what our own place of service and sacrifice is in His

Let's see! A couple of days after Hurricane Katrina hit the New Orleans, President Bush said, "I don't think anyone anticipated the breach of the levees," and Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff agreed. Now six months later the Associated Press released a video that shows Michael Brown, then-Director of the FEMA, giving President Bush not only warnings about the levees in New Orleans but
