  A superstorm threatening 50 million people in the most heavily populated corridor in the nation gained strength Monday, forecasters said. The National Hurricane Center said early Monday that Hurricane Sandy increased its top sustained winds from 75 mph to 85 mph, with higher gusts.

I was so disturbed when I saw the jobs report.  The Department of Labor is reporting only 96,000 jobs were created for August but then the media is reporting a large number of people that left the workforce.  Here is what the Wall Street Journal reports: 209,000: The number of teenagers who dropped out of the labor force in August.  Many of the dropouts were teenagers. People can leave the

As a candidate, Barack Obama said we needed to reckon with race and with America’s original sin, slavery. But as our first black president, he has avoided mention of race almost entirely. In having to be “twice as good” and “half as black,” Obama reveals the false promise and double standard of integration. By Ta-Nehisi Coates The irony of President Barack Obama is best captured in his

Do churches have an obligation to do more to reach youth? The leadership role of black churches before the movement and during the movement was simple; they took care of us. Through my research I found that before segregation and the civil rights movement, Black churches had so much power and respect from the black community and, I think, from people in general. For example: when

Massaquoi, who grew up in Nazi Germany as the product of a German mother & African father.  He later in life became an editor at Ebony magazine. It is one of the most interesting biographies.  Imagine, a young Black boy wondering why he couldn't be
