Formal Apology for Slavery

Can African Americans expect a formal apology from the U. S. Government for the institution of slavery?

Is This What Goes on in our Schools?

This is simply foolish. This is a rap concert that was given at a school in Memphis,Tennessee. Have you seen anything like this? Obviously, the spirit of Malcolam and Martin are gone!Is rap music good for our community?

Black Schools

What can we do to improve our schools? Can we make the public schools in our inner cities work for our children of color? We want to hear from our black teachers, educators, and parents!

Are You Suffering from Post Slave Syndrome?

Visit the website of DR. JOY DEGRUY-LEARY! She has authored a book called ”Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome America’s Legacy of Enduring Injury and Healing“. I once read the works of Dr. Na’im Akbar who wrote about the psychological effects of slavery. Dr. Leary did a fantasic interview on the Michael Baisden Show. I am going to purchase her book and I would recommend that most African-Americans should purchase her book. Could the brothers and sisters have a new excuse when they want to call in sick at work or school? Tell the boss that I can’t make it today because I am suffering from Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome! On a more serious note, I can attest that we as a people still suffer from the vestiges of slavery and many of the problems in our community are remnants of the horrible institution of slavery!This is not meant to be an attack post at all, but it is a call for all races of people to practice racial sensitivity!
