This month our cover story by Alfonzo Porter, Too Rich To Be Poor, looks at the plight of the Black buying power and how it is needed to achieve true freedom. Jamil Shabazz talks about an upcoming conference about genocide and slavery and the five speakers who will shed light on what needs to be done to help eradicate these issues. Ruby Jones talks about the ongoing dilemma of homelessness and housing. And because of the very imporant upcoming Election Day, we have many diverse voices sharing their views and opinions on who and what to vote for.
