Number 45, AKA Donald Trump, is Not an Aberration
By A. Peter Bailey (TriceEdneyWire.com) -The American news media is deceiving the world when it consistently describes Number 45 as an aberration in the history of the United States presidency. Equally deceiving is its describing and romanticizing the American voting public as some kind of godly people who are devoted to liberty and justice for all…

The video went viral at warp speed and DJ Pryor—the father—was overwhelmed by the outpouring of emotion that the interaction with his son evoked. I have watched the video several times and…
U.S. Attempt to Erase Harriet Tubman
By A. Scott Bolden, NNPA Newswire Contributor With uniquely American hypocrisy, the Trump Treasury Department has pushed back the 2016 plan to put escaped slave and Underground Railroad heroine Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill. Tubman would be the first African-American woman featured on U.S. currency. The $20 currently features a former president, Andrew Jackson,…

Ignorance Breeds Racism
By E. Faye Williams, Esq. (TriceEdneyWire.com) – By ignorance breeding racism, I don’t mean the lack of college or other educational degrees. I’m really talking about how some families teach their children to hate certain people based upon lies. In order to really drive home the point, I’m making, I recommend a book called Confessions of A…
By Hakim Abdul-Ali Music is a part of the everyday makeup and mindsets of many diverse cultures of the world.

First, my feeling aware mindset tells me to inform you about one heck of philanthropic kindness from a truly giving soul who helped others and made their lives a lot less…
Read MoreBy Barney Blakeney A friend recently asked what I think about the upcoming Charleston municipal elections. I don’t think about it much! Man, Charleston’s municipal elections ain’t until November 5. I don’t think that far ahead. That’s the first thought that comes to my mind, but it’s not true. The real deal is I constantly…
Read MoreBy Beverly Gadson-Birch Memorial Day is a federal holiday set aside to pay homage to the country’s fallen soldiers. The day is also a day to kick back on beaches and enjoy family cookouts. There is more cooking going on in high places than ribs on backyard grills. For years, I have wrestled with why…
Read MoreBy Hakim Abdul-Ali Life is a predictable, unpredictable educator, especially, if you look at things in a very reflective way knowing that “life is what it is.” I’m always learning from the lessons of living another day with a positive outlook, and I’m so very thankful to the Most High Alone for that. Behind every…
Read MoreA week from now, our nation will celebrate Juneteenth. It marks the day when enslaved Black people in Texas learned–almost two years after the fact–that the Emancipation Proclamation had rendered them free people. It is a fundamentally American occasion–a celebration of freedom, but also an acknowledgement of freedom delayed. As we observe this day, we…

Read More“We have an abundance of rape and violence against women in this country and on this Earth, though it’s almost never treated as a civil rights or human rights issue, or a crisis, or even a pattern. Violence doesn’t have a race, a class, a religion, or a nationality, but it does have a gender,”…

One of those citizens, while legally riding his bike north on King Street, was hit by a driver under the influence, and eight days later, succumbed to his injuries.
