Charleston, S.C....nine killed – did this really happen?!!! African Americans are killed in their place of worship while conducting Bible study? A young white man enters the church service, and sits with them for more than an hour, before he pulls out a gun and all of the racist anger that he can muster, he shoots the worshipers of God dead. It has been reported that he reloaded his gun at least five times while shooting his victims multiple times to ensure that they were dead! ...

Mass Incarceration is NOT the Answer
She is passionate, informed, beautiful, and brilliant, and
she wants to end mass incarceration of people of color. She wants to end the pipeline from school to
prison. No, she doesn’t want to reform
the systems that incarcerate people of color at a disproportionate rate she
wants to dismantle the systems! And, I
agree with her. Her name is Rev. Dr.
Madeline McClennely-Sadler, founder of the Exodus Foundation, Inc. Dr. Sadler recently was a guest of Messiah
College, in Pennsylvania,...

Depression Runs Deep (Dealing with Family Matters)
Recently, my family experienced a very tragic event when one of our relatives killed his wife, and then committed suicide. It was one of the most horrible, shocking days of my life, and for all who knew them and loved them. They were a loving couple, with well-adjusted, accomplished children. They were well educated, and had great positions of authority. They were like by many, and individually made notable contributions to their community. They were young with a very bright...

Why Black History Month?
The question is asked time-and-time again, by whites who could care less, and blacks who want to forget, "Is Black History Month necessary? I always respond with a resounding “Yes!!” The thought that this has to even be asked and answered makes me sick! I can’t on any level understand how anyone could dare ask the question. Consider the level of “historical understanding” that far too many of our Black Youth have today about their own history. It is, to say the least, a disgrace and a sad...

Human Rights Have No Borders
As a member of the Board of Directors of “Solidarity Uganda”,

Wilmot, the founders of “Solidarity Uganda.
Phil is a graduate of Messiah College.
His wife Susan is a native Ugandan.
Phil and Susan met while they both were students in Uganda. The two married and formed “Solidarity Uganda”
in response to the unjust treatment of many poor citizens of Uganda. Phil and Susan were arrested for speaking
out on human...

FIX THIS MESS: It's OUR Responsibility!
I was driving down Derry Street in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania,
on Tuesday, October 21, 2014, when I witnessed more than 20 Police Officers,
leap out of their cars and take off running after a young African American
male, who appeared to be no more than 16 years old. I don’t know what he did to generate this
kind of response, but whatever it was I am sure that he is in a heap of
trouble. This is the kind of scene that
I have witnessed all of my life, a young African American male being pursued,
tackled...
