Rev. Laphon Flood-Francis earns huge honor Inducted into MLK College of Ministers & Laity at Morehouse College

by Karen Harris Brooks For New Pittsburgh Courier

“If it’s a mountain, just climb it; a river, just cross it; a dream, just chase it; a vision, just pursue it; an idea, just do it; a bad habit, just break it!”

Those were the words of advice that the Honorable Reverend Dr. Raphael G. Warnock charged inductees of the 41st Martin Luther King Jr. College of Ministers & Laity annual ceremony held on April 9, 2026.

The United States Senator and 1991 Morehouse graduate delivered a powerful, spirit-filled speech that electrified not only the inductees, but also proved to be an uplifting inspiration to all in attendance.

Held within the walls of the Martin Luther King Jr. Inter-

national Chapel at Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia, the overflow gathering included conscientious inductees, confident alumni, distinguished clergy, and proud mentors and family members.

Established in 1985, the Board of Preachers honors the preaching legacy of Martin Luther King Jr., recognizing pastors who demonstrate a strong commitment to prophetic preaching, justice, and faithful leadership in the church and community. Pittsburgh’s own Reverend Laphon Flood-Francis, Senior Pastor of the Second Baptist Church of Homestead, Pennsylvania, was one of the 2026 prestigious inductees. The HBCU graduate, who leaves his touch upon every road he travels, was encouraged by Dr.

Warnock’s word that “God is still raising up people willing to boldly speak truth in power and do whatever it takes to bring justice.”

When asked how he felt about receiving such an honor, Reverend Flood-Francis, a man of truth, character and responsible leadership, felt this award “carries a weight that is hard to fully describe. It is a true honor and privilege, but also a reminder of the responsibility to continue the legacy and tradition of so many that have fought to lay the foundation on which I now stand.”

He humbly continued that he is “grateful to my family and alma mater for the investment that was made into me and for SEE FLOOD-FRANCIS A7

Primary Election is May 19; Lee, Mayes, Davis on the ballot

by Rob Taylor Jr. Courier Staff Writer

There isn't a lot of fanfare leading up to this year's Pennsylvania Primary Election, scheduled for May 19.

There isn't that big Pittsburgh mayoral election, like last year. And this isn't a presidential election year, either.

Still, as long as one has the right to vote, one should vote, in "each and every election," as Tim Stevens, the CEO of the Black Political Empowerment Project, continually stressed during an April 27 press conference in the Hill District.

Stevens brought some friends with him to stress the importance of voting, like Gloria Coulverson and Dr. Chauncey Alexander with the Urban League Young Professionals of Greater Pittsburgh.

"We are here to show you that the youth are out...we

elections as well."

Coulverson added: "This is personal to us. Our future is on the ballot."

A number of African Americans are on the ballot in the Pennsylvania Primary. For the 12th Congressional District, Summer Lee, the incumbent, is running against Pittsburgher William Parker on the Democratic ticket. On the Republican side, James Harris is on the ballot.

“Our movement has proven to be, not just inspirational, but one that is very focused on delivering for working people...making sure that the folks who are most vulnerable are no longer the people who are experiencing the harms in the way that they have,” Congresswoman Lee said as part of her remarks when she announced her bid for re-election in December 2025 in the Strip District.

In the race for Governor

“Most of our voices are heard at the state and local levels, and that’s where we need to be...This is personal to us.

Our future is on the ballot.”

What happened to EBONY? Johnson Publishing heir says she feels betrayed

by BlackPressUSA In 2019, Fashion Fair, the cosmetics line created by Johnson Publishing Company’s Eunice Johnson, filed for bankruptcy following years of declining sales that ended the cosmetic giant’s decades of growth in department stores across the country.

Today, Fashion Fair is owned by a group that includes former Johnson Publishing Company CEO Desiree Rogers. Rogers broke her promise not to buy Fashion Fair, the iconic Black cosmetics and fashion company, according to Johnson Publishing Company heirs Linda Johnson Rice and her daughter Alexa Rice, in a recent story in the Chicago Sun-Times.

In a revealing interview, the daughter and granddaughter of Johnson Publishing Company founder John H. Johnson said they were shocked when they learned Rogers and a group of investors had bought Fashion Fair after it filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy.

The revelation provides a glimpse of Rogers, who made critical and, according to sources, questionable decisions in the final years of Johnson Publishing Company before it went bankrupt in 2019. That year, Fashion Fair also filed for bankruptcy as creditors persuaded a judge to liquidate its assets.

According to the SunTimes article, Alexa said “she and her mother believed there had been an understanding with Rogers that neither would bid on Fashion Fair during the bankruptcy proceedings.”

While Linda Johnson Rice did not dwell on Rogers’ actions in the article, Alexa Rice was more candid about her feelings regarding the sale.

“It was the biggest devastation and betrayal I have felt,” Alexa said. “I could not believe it. I was heartbroken.”

Linda said, “That’s done for me. People are gonna do what they’re gonna do, and there are things you can’t control. I cannot let that drag me down.”

In response to Alexa and Linda’s feelings of betrayal, Rogers, CEO of both Fashion Fair and Black Opal Beauty, another cosmetics brand for women of color, responded in an email: “JPC no longer owned the company when we bid [on] it. We were surprised and delighted that our bid was selected and that it would remain in the hands of African Americans.”

When Rogers purchased Fashion Fair, Alexa was a graduate student at Harvard Divinity School, according to the SunTimes.

Alexa earned a bachelor’s degree in art history from

Wellesley College in Massachusetts in 2011, according to her LinkedIn profile.

At 37, Alexa launched a new cosmetics line called Beech Beauty. The Chicago Crusader could not reach Alexa for this story.

Rogers, Cheryl Mayberry McKissack and hedge fund Magnetar bought Fashion Fair on November 7, 2019, during bankruptcy proceedings, for $1.85 million.

The group also owns Black Opal Beauty, another cosmetics brand for Black women created in 1994.

Fashion Fair cosmetics was created in 1973, an offshoot of the traveling fashion show Ebony Fashion Fair, once believed to be the largest traveling fashion show in the world. With its couture gowns and packed shows, Ebony Fashion Fair boosted Johnson Publishing Company’s profile on the global stage.

While producing fashion shows, Johnson Publishing Company founder John H. Johnson and his wife, Eunice, struggled to find makeup to match the darker skin tones of their models. When the two started the Fashion Fair cosmetics line, they were turned down several times before they finally persuaded upscale department stores such as Marshall Field’s and Macy’s to carry makeup products for Black women.

Fashion Fair was at one point the largest Blackowned cosmetics company in the world and sold skin, hair and fragrance products in department stores and online. At its peak, Fashion Fair was sold in more than 1,500 department stores nationwide.

In its final years under Johnson Publishing Company, Fashion Fair declined in popularity, and its products were often out of stock at department stores. As problems mounted, Rogers left Johnson Publishing to work for the city’s tourism agency, Choose Chicago.

In the recent Sun-Times article, Alexa credited her grandmother Eunice for creating Ebony Fashion Fair.

“You can own the business, but you can’t own my grandmother,” she said.

Rogers could credit some of her success to Johnson Publishing Company and to Linda. The two had been friends for decades. Nearly 10 years prior to Rogers’ and her co-owners’ purchase of Fashion Fair, Linda helped Rogers during a difficult period in her career.

In 2010, Rogers was fired as First Lady Michelle Obama’s social secretary after she was blamed for a White House incident in which an uninvited couple crashed a state dinner hosted by President Barack Obama. Rogers was accused of focusing on hosting duties instead of being stationed at security checkpoints.

The gate-crashing incident was one of several criticisms Rogers faced during her short tenure as White House social secretary, a role that organizes and coordinates social events for the First Lady.

Although the position can be high-profile, White House social secretaries historically work behind the scenes. But Rogers was often criticized for being too visible. She clashed with Barack Obama’s Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel as critics pointed to her high-profile style and an interview with The Wall Street Journal in which she referenced the “Obama brand.”

After she was dismissed as social secretary and disinvited from attending White House adviser Valerie Jarrett’s wedding, Rogers turned to Linda, her longtime friend, who hired her as CEO of Johnson Publishing Company despite her lack of media experience.

This Week In Black History

A Courier Staple • MAY 13

ALEXA CHRISTINA RICE loan, Ebony and Jet magazines—the foundation of the Johnson Publishing empire—became popular publications found in millions of Black households across the country. In 1982, Johnson became the first African American to appear on the Forbes 400 list of wealthiest Americans.

At one point, his estimated worth was $600 million.

In addition to its Michigan Avenue headquarters, Johnson Publishing Company had an office in New York’s Rockefeller Center.

It was the largest Blackowned media company in the world. At one point, it also owned JPC, a television production company that produced nationally syndicated programs.

Johnson died in 2005. His wife Eunice died in 2010.

Sources told the Crusader that year, Rogers persuaded Linda to sell the 11-story Johnson Publishing headquarters for $8 million, months after Rogers was hired. Those same sources said that, as CEO, Rogers executed plans to reposition Ebony magazine toward a more upscale audience.

As part of that plan, many of Ebony’s veteran staffers were let go and replaced by employees with high-profile backgrounds. Rogers hired Amy DuBois Barnett as Ebony’s editor-in-chief, a Chicago native who grew up in Hyde Park and earned degrees from Brown and Columbia universities.

At Johnson Publishing Company, sources described Rogers as a “cold” individual more interested in filling Ebony’s pages with fashion and beauty content.

Under Rogers’ plan, Ebony lost many of its longtime readers. In 2014, Jet magazine’s print edition was discontinued amid rising print costs and mounting debt.

Ebony went from a monthly publication to a quarterly format as printing costs rose and advertising revenue declined.

Sources told the Crusader that NBA legend Ervin “Magic” Johnson had interest in purchasing Ebony and Jet, but he reportedly lost interest after Linda requested that she remain chairman emeritus as part of the deal.

In 2016, Ebony and Jet were sold to Clear View Group, a private equity firm. In 2019, with more than $35 million in debt, Johnson Publishing Company filed for bankruptcy and sold its $30 million photo archive collection to several philanthropic foundations.

That same year, the former Johnson Publishing Company headquarters at 820 S. Michigan Ave. reopened as an apartment building after developer 3L Real Estate purchased the Chicago landmark in 2017 for $10 million. In 2020, former NBA star and billionaire Ulysses “Junior” Bridgeman purchased Ebony and Jet for $14 million as a gift to his daughter, Eden Bridgeman Sklenar.

Sklenar today operates Ebony as a digital-only publication. Ulysees Bridgeman died last year.

1865—The last battle of the Civil war ends. Ironically, it appears the Confederate troops won the battle at Palmetto Ranch, Texas. However, it was the actions and bravery of the 62nd Regiment of United States Colored Troops that prevented the defeat from turning into a rout. The Confederates had actually underestimated the fighting prowess of the Blacks, assuming they would run in fear when the fighting began. Instead, what occurred was the rapid defeat of two White regiments but the Black soldiers of the 62nd held firm. The Confederates would later surrender.

1950—Singer-songwriter Stevie Wonder is born Steveland Hardaway Judkins in Saginaw, Mich. Wonder has recorded more than 30 Top 10 hits and has received 25 Grammy awards,one of the most-awarded male solo artists, and has sold more than 100 million records worldwide, making him one of the Top 60 best-selling music artists. Wonder is also noted for his work as an activist for political causes, including his 1980 campaign to make Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday a holiday in the United States.

1885—Erskine Henderson, an African American jockey, wins the Kentucky Derby on “Joe Cotton”—a horse trained by Alex Perry—an African American trainer. Henderson was the sixth Black jockey to win the coveted race. Indeed, Black jockeys and trainers dominated the Kentucky Derby from 1875 to 1902. However, while some of the reasons are not entirely clear, it appears that as the race became more and more prosperous, Black jockeys and trainers were forced out.

1970—A student protest on the campus of Mississippi’s Jackson State University leads to a massive confrontation with local police authorities. When the smoke cleared, two students had been shot and killed and another 12 injured or wounded. Reasons given for the protests ranged from opposition to the War in Vietnam, racial tensions and anger over the National Guard killings of White students on the campus of Kent State University earlier in the month. The university memorialized the disturbance by naming the area where it took place “Gibbs-Green Plaza” after the two students who were killed— Phillip Lafayette Gibbs, 21, and James Earl Green, 17.

1985—In a confrontation with the Black Nationalist back-to-nature group MOVE, Philadelphia police drop an incendiary device on the group’s home and headquarters.

The decision to bomb had been apparently approved by Black Mayor Wilson Goode. Eleven MOVE members, including five children, were killed. The only adult survivor was Ramona Africa. More than 60 homes in the surrounding area were burned to the ground. It was never fully clear why the decision to drop the bomb was made.

1911—Kappa Alpha Psi, one of the nation’s leading Black fraternities, is founded on this day on the campus of Indiana University by 10 young men led by Elder W. Diggs and Byron K. Armstrong.

1942—The 93rd Infantry is activated and assigned to combat in the Pacific. It thus became the first African American division formed during World War II.

• MAY 16

1868—The United States Senate fails by one vote in securing the two-thirds vote needed to convict President Andrew Johnson of the articles of impeachment, which had been brought against him. The failure was a major setback for Black rights in America because Johnson had become a leading opponent of voting rights and economic advancement for the recently freed slaves. While the impeachment trial did not center on Black rights, Blacks would have clearly benefited if Johnson had been expelled from office.

1929—Detroit Representative John Conyers Jr., one of the founding members of the Congressional Black Caucus, was born on this day in 1929. He remains one of the most progressive members of the United States Congress.

1966—Janet Jackson, of the famous and talented Jackson family, is born on this day in Gary, Ind. Controversy remains as to whether Janet has a secret daughter.

1990—Sammy Davis Jr. dies in Beverly Hills, Calif., at age 64. Davis, born in Harlem, N.Y., was a world class entertainer who performed well as an actor, singer and dancer. He was also a member of Hollywood’s popular and notorious “Rat Pack,” which included Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Joey Bishop and Peter Lawford.

• MAY 18

1896—The United States Supreme Court issues its infamous ruling in Plessy v. Ferguson. The decision declared the doctrine of “separate but equal” was constitutional. By doing so it, in effect, approved all Jim Crow or segregationist laws designed to degrade Blacks or keep them separate from Whites. The ruling would stand until the Brown v. Board of Education decision of 1954.

1955—Legendary educator Mary McLeod Bethune dies at 79 in Daytona Beach, Fla. Born the 15th of 17 children in Mayesville, S.C., Bethune would rise to become one of the nation’s foremost Black educators and early civil rights activist. She was a driving force behind the founding of Florida’s Bethune-Cookman College.

• MAY 19

1925—Black revolutionary Malcolm X was born Malcolm Little on this day in Omaha, Neb. His father, Earl Little, was an outspoken Baptist minister and a follower of the legendary Black Nationalist Marcus Garvey. For his outspokenness, Earl Little would be brutally killed in 1929 by a Ku Klux Klan type group.

A smart and focused student, Malcolm dreamed of becoming a lawyer. But that dream would be crushed by prejudice when one of his favorite teachers told him that was “not a realistic goal for a nigger.” He would end up dropping out of school and moving with his mother to Boston, Mass. He would later travel to New York City where he began a criminal life of petty crimes, but rapidly moved up to coordinating drug, prostitution and gambling rings. With the “heat” on, he moved back to Boston where he was arrested and sentenced to prison on a burglary charge in 1946.

By the time he was paroled in 1952, he was a devoted follower of Elijah Muhammad and a small Muslim sect known as the Nation of Islam and had dropped his “slave” last name in favor of being referred to as “Malcolm X.” From 1952 to 1963, he became the primary force behind the building of the Nation of Islam from a sect of fewer than 1,000 members to a national organization of more than 30,000 members. But his faith in Elijah Muhammad was crushed when he learned in 1963 that the married and outwardly puritanical Muhammad had had extra-marital affairs with at least six young Nation of Islam women. A bitter separation resulted between Malcolm and the Nation. Malcolm then turned to a more orthodox version of Islam and began to seek closer relations with other Black Nationalist and civil rights groups.

He was assassinated at Harlem, N.Y.’s, Audubon Ballroom on Feb. 21, 1965 by three men associated with the Nation of Islam. Malcolm X was 39.

1930—Lorraine Hansberry is born in Chicago, Ill. During her short life she becomes one of Black America’s most prolific authors and playwrights. Her most famous play was “A Raisin in the Sun”—which was the first drama written by an African American woman to be produced on Broadway. After her death from cancer in 1965, another one of her plays—“To Be Young, Gifted and Black” became a major off-Broadway production.

1952—Eccentric model and singer Grace Jones is born in Spanish Town, Jamaica. In addition to her singing and modeling, her unusual style propels her into a status as one of the icons of the disco and new music scene of the 1970s.

JSI celebrates 10 years, as students are awarded $4,000 scholarships The Justice Scholars Institute (JSI) marked its 10th anniversary with an inspiring symposium and celebration that highlighted a decade of transformative partnerships, student achievement, and community impact, the New Pittsburgh Courier has learned.

The event was held, May 7, at Posvar Hall (230 S. Bouquet St.) on the University of Pittsburgh campus.

In collaboration with the University of Pittsburgh’s College in High School program, JSI continues to expand access to dual enrollment opportunities for students in Pittsburgh Public Schools, but specifically at Uprep/Milliones, Perry, and Westinghouse.

This year, JSI had 152 students enrolled across the three schools for a total of 769 credits enrolled and a potential tuition savings of $557,525 for students and families.

JSI is equipping students with the academic tools and confidence to succeed beyond high school.

A meaningful highlight of this year’s celebration was JSI’s new partnership with Youth Enrichment Services (YES) to establish the Jeremiah Nash Memorial Scholarship, honoring the legacy of a beloved former student who was part of both organizations. This $4,000 renewable scholarship— awarded at $1,000 annually—reflects a shared commitment to supporting students as they pursue higher education. The inaugural recipients are Paige Oliver, representing YES, and Jeremiah Bowey-Sinclair, representing JSI. Bowey-Sinclair will attend Penn State University this fall, where he plans to major in Engineering.

The event brought together a strong cross-section of supporters, including University of Pittsburgh faculty and staff, community leaders, and Pittsburgh Public

Schools administrators and educators. Attendees were inspired by keynote speaker Devantae Butler, whose remarks underscored the power of perseverance and opportunity.

The program also featured compelling reflections from JSI alumni.

Isis Philbert, a Duquesne University alumna and owner of ICEY Aesthetics in Downtown Pittsburgh, shared her journey of entrepreneurship and growth. Demir Frison, a junior at the University of Pittsburgh majoring in Business and valedictorian of Perry High School, spoke about his academic path and the impact of JSI on his success.

Your Medicare ROADMAP

S

FEATURE IMPACT

ixty-five is more than a number. It’s a milestone. A moment to reflect on where you’ve been and look forward with confidence to what comes next.

For millions of Americans, turning 65 also means unlocking one of the most valuable benefits you’ve earned: Medicare.

The best is still ahead, and it starts with knowing your options. The official source for Medicare information, Medicare.gov, is here to help with clear, trusted information.

The path to Medicare is not the same for everyone. Some people get Medicare automatically and others have to sign up. It depends on whether you are already getting Social Security. Either way, you’ll want to choose how you get your Medicare coverage.

Get information for your path at Medicare.gov, where you can find out when and how to enroll and explore your coverage options.

NEW PITTSBURGH COURIER

What to Know Before You Turn 65

Understanding Your Medicare Coverage Options When you first sign up for Medicare, you choose how to get your coverage. There are two main options: Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage.

Original Medicare is health coverage provided directly by the federal government.

It has two parts: n Part A (Hospital Insurance) covers inpatient hospital stays, skilled nursing facility care, hospice care and home health care. Most people pay no premium for Part A. n Part B (Medical Insurance) covers doctor visits, outpatient care, preventive services (like screenings, vaccines and annual wellness visits) and durable medical equipment like wheelchairs and walkers. The standard Part B premium is $202.90 per month and is typically deducted from your Social Security check.

With Original Medicare, you can visit any doctor or hospital in the U.S. that accepts Medicare. You can also add optional coverage to help manage costs: n Medigap (Supplemental Insurance) helps pay your share of Medicare costs. n Part D (Prescription Drug Coverage) helps pay for medications.

Medicare Advantage is an alternative to Original Medicare that provides Part A and Part B and is offered by private insurers approved by Medicare.

You still pay the Part B premium. Some plans charge an additional premium – though many carry a $0 plan premium and may even help cover part of your Part B cost. Most plans include in Part D drug coverage along with extra benefits like dental, vision and hearing.

Keep in mind most plans require you to use doctors within the plan’s network.

5 Steps to Enroll with Confidence 1. Use official sources. Go to Medicare.gov or call 1-800-MEDICARE for step-by-step, personalized guidance on coverage and enrollment.

2. Start early. You don’t have to wait until your birthday. Explore your options now so you’re ready when your enrollment window opens.

3. Know your enrollment path. Your path depends on your circumstances – some people are automatically enrolled and some are not. There are unique steps for people who are still working.

4. Avoid late enrollment penalties. Missing your enrollment window can result in a permanent premium penalty for both Part B and Part D. Signing up on time protects your wallet for years to come.

5. Compare plans and save. At Medicare.gov, you can compare plan costs side-by-side, based on the specific drugs you take. A quick comparison could save you money each year. You can also confirm your current doctors are in-network before you choose a plan.

Turning 65 is a milestone worth celebrating and it’s the perfect time to focus on what matters most: your health and well-being. That includes eating well, exercising and making sure you have health insurance that fits your needs. There’s no one-size-fits-all plan. What’s important is finding an option that works for you and your health and financial needs.

Start your journey at Medicare.gov – your roadmap to a healthier and confident future.

The NFL Draft Prospects on the Red Carpet in Pittsburgh Prior to the start of the NFL Draft in Pittsburgh, the top prospects sported their best wear on the Red Carpet at Point State Park.

Courier photographer J.L. Martello captured some of the prospects’ best fits just a few hours before they were drafted into the NFL on April 23, 2026.

Russ and Justin Fields signed quickly, but Rodgers gets to stall the Steelers?

In the past, sports were an asset that was often used to lessen hostilities between countries and sometimes acted as a proxy to delay or even

settle disagreements during times of conflict.

However, most of the time during the sports history of the United States of America, sports has been governed by a culture that has been created and maintained for the sole purpose of economically dividing the population and using games as lightning rods to intentionally disenfranchise athletes of color and to use time-honored institutions to promote and sustain racial and gender bias.

When Adolph Hitler preached his sermons of Aryan supremacy during the 1930s, he used sports as the sweetener for his limitless supply of “haterade.”

The 1936 Olympics were held in Berlin, Germany, and that was the perfect platform from which to validate the dark theory of Hitler’s favorable eugenics. Simultaneously,

many American politicians faked outrage and pretended to be all up in arms, publicly speaking out against that negative racially superior paradigm, leaving out the fact that Hitler’s model for racial superiority was the Jim Crow system that was being vigorously practiced and condoned in the U.S. It took the two events, the track and field victories of Jesse Owens at the 1936 Olympic games and boxer Joe Louis defeating Max Schmeling in a rematch on June 22, 1938, at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, New York. In their previous meeting, Schmeling defeated Louis on June 19, 1936.

Those two sporting events threw the theory of Aryan superiority promoted by Hitler out on its ear. Let’s be real; the American Confederate and the Reich National Flags are tailored from the same cloth. That cloth that was woven with strands of racism, ethnic insensitivity and blatant disregard for the economic wellness of many athletes of color. The third Reich and the American paradigm of racism are Siamese twins.

Let’s switch gears. Quarterback Russell Wilson signed a one-year, $1.21 million contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers in March 2024. This deal

was structured as the veteran minimum after the Broncos designated him a post-June 1, 2024, release.

QB Justin Fields signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers after he was traded to Pittsburgh on March 16, 2024, in a deal that sent him from the Chicago Bears to the Steelers.

Fields earned a base salary of $1,616,724 in 2024, plus roster bonuses, for a total of about $3.23 million. Why have the Steelers been forced to wait in 2025 and 2026 for Aaron Rodgers to sign a contract when both Russell Wilson and Justin Fields signed in March of 2024, far in advance of any formal and mandatory team activities and they signed for far less money?

On June 7, 2025, Brooke Pryor posted an article on espn.com. “QB Rodgers with Steelers, signs oneyear, $13.65M deal.” “Aaron Rodgers is officially a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers. The team posted a photo of a smiling Rodgers signing his contract Saturday with the caption, ‘done deal.’ The veteran quarterback signed a one-year, $13.65 million deal after passing a physical at the team facility.”

In 2026, could Aaron Rodgers possibly be looking to upgrade his 2025 contract to around 15 million dollar-rewskis or more? “The team posted a

photo of a smiling Rodgers signing his contract.”

You would be skinning and grinning too, if the GM of any team were ready, willing and able to pay you an estimated three times the value of a younger Super Bowl winning QB and a former number one draft pick.

Let’s now address the Cleveland Browns QB Shedeur Sanders’ fraudulent 2025 NFL Draft and fiasco. Sanders’ NIL earnings during his college football career were estimated at around $6.5 million.. This figure reflects the combined value of his endorsement deals and brand partnerships while he played for Jackson State (2021–2022) and Colorado (2023–2024).

Now please decipher the following nonsense.

Sanders signed a fouryear, $4.6 million rookie contract with the Cleveland Browns after being drafted 144th overall in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Sanders earned almost two million dollars more in college than the value that the Cleveland Browns placed on his talent. I’m puzzled; did the Cleveland Browns deliberately draft him in the 5th round or did the Browns, and the remainder of the NFL, forget to recharge their calculators? Although the NFL has tried to remedy the economic shortcomings

for players of color, no matter how positive that some of these efforts may be, racial bias remains a dark and go-to tool that helps to continue the dilution of the value of players of color.

The valuation of Aaron Rodgers compared to the combined value of Russell Wilson and Justin Fields proves my argument far beyond the shadow of a doubt.

Let’s hit rewind for a few moments. Doug Williams became the first Black quarterback to both start and win a Super Bowl when he led the Washington Redskins to victory in Super Bowl XXII in 1988, throwing for 340 yards and four touchdowns in a 42–10 rout over the Denver Broncos. We all remember that.

However, despite this historic achievement, Williams was paid less than many of his teammates. In his first NFL season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 1978, he signed a $120,000 annual contract, which was the lowest salary for a starting quarterback in the league at the time— even less than the pay of 12 backup quarterbacks.

During the 1987 NFL season, John Elway, the quarterback for the Denver Broncos, earned a base salary of approximately $1.4 million.

During the same season,

Doug Williams, the QB that spanked Elway by the score of 42-10 in Super Bowl XXII, earned about $400,000. Now that is a perfect example of equal pay for equal play, right? No, wrong; very, very wrong. Additionally, Doug Williams was named Super Bowl MVP after giving John Elway his comeuppance and throwing four touchdowns in a single quarter. The propaganda-like assumption that Black quarterbacks were cerebrally inferior to White quarterbacks died that day and 38 years after Doug Williams administered the “immaculate beat down,” professional football has yet to recover, and the members of that infamous Denver Broncos defense up until this day continues to question itself as to how they could have defeated a QB in Williams who, on that night, had all the answers.

As far as how to level the economic playing field in the NFL is concerned, the questions of the past have become the questions of the present, but like the Denver Broncos defense against Doug Williams, there are no ready-made solutions or comfortable answers.

Property is Power!

Appraising Black America, the quiet undervaluation of Black communities I’ve said many times, we have been taught to think about housing primarily as shelter, a roof, a neighborhood, a monthly payment. But in America, property has never simply been about where you live. Property determines where wealth accumulates, where opportunity concentrates, where schools improve, where political influence grows, and ultimately, whose future appreciates alongside the land beneath them. That is why appraisal bias matters far beyond real estate. It is not merely a housing issue. It is an economic justice issue, a valuation issue, and perhaps most importantly, a power issue.

And despite all of the conversations around eq-

ANTHONY O. KELLUM uity since 2020, one uncomfortable truth remains deeply embedded within the American housing market—homes in predominantly Black neighborhoods continue to be systematically undervalued compared to similar homes in predominantly White communities. Study after study has shown that Black neighborhoods can be undervalued by as much as 25 to 35 percent, translating into an estimated loss of more than $160,000 in value per home in many markets. The implications of that are staggering. When homes are undervalued, equity is suppressed. When equity is suppressed, borrowing power shrinks. When borrowing power shrinks, businesses do not start, college tuition becomes harder to fund, retirement becomes less secure, and intergenerational wealth becomes harder to transfer.

This is not theoretical for me. I recently experienced this firsthand on an investment property I purchased for $240,000. The projected after-repair value came back at roughly $333,000. But after reviewing the appraisal closely, we initiated a rebuttal process and discovered something troubling— there were multiple comparable properties within blocks of my project, some within a mile radius that had sold for $450,000, $490,000, $500,000, and even as high as $620,000. These were not luxury outliers detached from reality. They were relevant, comparable properties in the same broader market area. Yet somehow, the valuation assigned to my property came in dramatically lower.

As someone in the industry, I understood immediately that this was not just a math problem. It was a framework problem. Appraisals are often presented as objective science, but in reality, they SEE PROPERTY IS POWER B2

Identity theft protection is no longer optional for any American

by BlackPressUSA If you want your data to be secure in the digital age, identity theft protection should be a top concern.

Some of the most effective methods to protect personal information include using a password manager, multi-factor authentication, and more.

Have you ever received a suspicious email asking for personal information? Do you find yourself constantly getting notices about data breaches for stores or companies you’ve frequented? Both of these are common gateways for identity theft, which is why it is more important than ever to proactively secure your information.

Identity Theft Statistics According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), there has been a significant uptick in scammers stealing millions of dollars from unsuspecting victims, primarily elderly individuals. The fraudsters impersonated government agents to obtain the information, a scenario that is unfortunately becoming more common.

The key to these attacks is emotional manipulation. Callers typically inform recipients that their

information has been stolen or their bank account has been hacked, which ironically, prompts them to hand over the necessary information.

As technology progresses, identity theft cases are likely to become more common, and with more sophisticated attack methods, they may be harder to combat.

What Is the Very Best Identity Theft Protection?

Identity theft protection works best using a layered technique. Multiple methods will prevent incidents better than a single security measure. Here are some of the most effective ways that you can engage in online fraud prevention.

Use Multi-Factor Authentication If you’ve ever logged into an app or a website and received a code or verification pop-up, then you have successfully used multi-factor authentication. Essentially, it is an additional roadblock that prevents users from logging into your accounts unless they have an additional code or link.

The information is usually sent to a secure personal account that the scammer won’t be able to access.

Utilize a Password Manager It may seem convenient to use the

same password over and over again, but it is a recipe for disaster if you end up suffering from identity theft.

Create strong, complex passwords for all of your accounts, and use a password manager to track them securely.

Most password managers require a master password and additional verification steps to access the information. They can also generate randomized, secure passwords for you to use.

Review Credit Reports Rather than just checking your credit score, look at the details of your credit reports, especially if there is a significant drop with no explanation. Verify that all of the accounts on your credit report belong to you.

Check Bank and Credit Card Activity Look through all of your credit card and bank transactions every month and confirm their accuracy. Double-check unfamiliar vendors to see if places you shopped go by different names. Contact companies if you see suspicious transactions.

Financial literacy gets you started.

Financial fluency changes your life.

Real talk! The school system taught us algebra, geometry, and how to find the hypotenuse of a triangle. But too many of us were never taught how to balance a budget, read a credit card statement, understand compound interest, build credit, invest for retirement, or keep Uncle Sam from taking more than necessary.

That’s why you can find grown adults with degrees, good jobs, nice titles, and respectable incomes still living paycheck to paycheck, drowning in debt, and wondering why they can’t get ahead. It’s not always because they’re lazy. It’s not always because they don’t make enough money. Many times, it’s because nobody ever taught them how money works.

Financial literacy isn’t optional. It’s survival! Financial literacy is the ability to understand and use basic money skills: earning, saving, spending, budgeting, borrowing, investing, taxes, insurance, and planning for the future.

Without those skills, life becomes one expensive lesson after another.

You learn about credit after your score is already damaged. You learn about interest after the credit card balance has doubled. You learn about student loans after the payment hits. You learn about taxes after you owe the IRS. You learn about retirement after time has already slipped away.

That’s a hard way to learn.

Here’s the truth: income alone does not create wealth. Financial understanding does.

Plenty of people make good money and stay broke.

Why? Because every time their income goes up, their lifestyle goes up with it. A bigger check equals a bigger car note, bigger house payment, more expensive lifestyle. More money, more bills.

Same problem. Broke, busted and disgusted.

When you understand money, you stop guessing and start making intentional decisions. You stop reacting to every financial emergency and start preparing for life before life starts swinging. You stop letting advertisers, lenders, salespeople, and social media pressure make your money decisions for you.

Money is a tool. But a tool is only useful when you know how to use it. A hammer doesn’t build a house by itself. A dollar doesn’t build wealth by itself, either. It has to be directed.

That direction starts with the fundamentals. Spend less than you earn. Save consistently. Avoid high-interest debt.

Invest early and often. Protect yourself with proper insurance. Understand taxes. Build emergency savings.

Plan for retirement before retirement is staring you in the face. These principles are not flashy, but they work.

Financial education should start early. Parents and guardians need to normalize talking about money at the dinner table, in the car, at the store, and during everyday life moments. Kids don’t need a Wall Street lecture. They need real-life lessons.

Your child wants expensive sneakers?

That’s a lesson on saving and delayed gratification. Your teenager wants a car?

That’s a lesson on down payments, insurance, maintenance, gas, interest rates, and the true cost of ownership. Your young adult wants to move out? That’s a lesson on rent, utilities, credit, deposits, groceries, and budgeting.

Those conversations build more than

money skills. They build discipline, patience, planning, and responsibility.

If we don’t teach our children about money, someone else will. Credit card companies will. Payday lenders will. Buy Now, Pay Later apps will. Social media influencers flashing fake lifestyles and selling get-rich-quick mumble jumbo will. And trust me, their curriculum isn’t designed to build your child’s future. It’s designed to separate them from their money.

Financial education also matters in our communities. Churches, schools, nonprofits, barber shops, beauty salons, family reunions, and community centers can all become places where financial knowledge is shared. The wealth gap doesn’t close by accident. It closes when people learn, apply, and pass down principles that work.

But let me say this clearly: spreading financial knowledge does not mean forcing advice on people who didn’t ask for it.

Everybody with a budget app and a Roth IRA doesn’t need to become the family financial preacher. Don’t be that person at Thanksgiving telling everybody what they need to do with their money while nobody asked you. That’s SEE DAMON CARR B2

a picture ID and other personal information to confirm your identity online. One of the best ID verification tips is to enable it when offered as an extra security measure, so scammers have a harder time accessing your personal information.

What Is the First Thing You Should Do If Your Identity Is Stolen?

While identity theft can be overwhelming, it is crucial to take action as soon as you find out that your information has been compromised. The first thing to do is get in touch with one of the three credit bureaus to notify them of a fraud alert.

Placing a fraud alert on your accounts will freeze your credit and prevent any damaging charges from affecting your score

until the issue is resolved.

Next, contact your banking and credit institutions to freeze those accounts, if possible.

Frequently Asked Questions Is Artificial Intelligence Influencing Identity Theft?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is shaping the world in many different ways, and identity theft continues to evolve as a result.

In the age of AI, according to the World Economic Forum, the technology can have both positive and negative impacts on keeping your data secure.

Companies may be able to use AI software to identify phishing attacks and fraud much more easily than existing solutions.

They can then take proactive steps to prevent these types of intrusions in the future.

However, some trou-

bling trends are emerging in the AI space concerning impersonation. As AI models become more sophisticated, they can easily replicate the tone and mannerisms of real people, which may tempt users to convey personal information.

Is It Possible to Protect Your Personal Information in a Data Breach?

While the initial data

breach is often out of your control, there are steps you can take immediately after you learn about the incident. Start by changing your login information to the associated company or website.

Once you change your login information, enable two-factor or multi-factor authentication if it is available. Use an authentication app on your phone or set your account up to

receive a code through email or text message.

Hackers will face an additional roadblock when trying to access your accounts.

If you know that your bank accounts or credit cards may be vulnerable, contact the bank or credit card company and put a temporary freeze on your accounts. Use cash or a different card in the meantime to avoid unauthorized activity from outside parties.

Which Demographics Are Most Vulnerable to Identity Theft?

No individual is immune to identity theft, but certain demographics are more likely to fall for scams. Elderly individuals often fall prey to these types of crimes because they usually have a limited understanding of technology and don’t know the telltale signs of fraud.

Children are also more likely to expose personal information that leads to identity theft. Younger individuals may not understand the harm of entering sensitive data into unsecured websites, which can lead to troubling consequences down the road.

Protect Your Personal Information From Identity Theft Identity theft protection isn’t just optional in 2026; it’s essential. With new threats emerging every day, it is important to stay on top of the latest scams and understand how you can best fortify your data against nefarious actors.

Property is Power! The undervaluation of Black communities PROPERTY IS POWER FROM B1

are heavily influenced by interpretation, market assumptions, neighborhood narratives, and historical data that itself may have originated from decades of discriminatory practices. In many Black communities, lower historical appraisals become the justification for future lower appraisals, creating a self-reinforcing cycle where suppressed values become normalized. The market begins to treat undervaluation as evidence rather than distortion.

This is where many conversations about race and housing become too simplistic. People often assume discrimination in housing must look explicit to be real. But modern inequity frequently operates through systems that appear neutral while producing deeply unequal outcomes. Appraisal bias is one of the clearest examples of this phenomenon. No one has to openly say a Black neighborhood is worth less. The market simply behaves as though it is, and that behavior compounds over generations.

If a family in a White neighborhood gains an additional $150,000 or $200,000 in equity over a decade while a similar Black family does not, the gap is not just financial.

It affects inheritance, mobility, educational opportunity, entrepreneurship, and access to capital. Equity becomes leverage, and leverage determines who can move forward economically without starting from zero for each generation.

What makes this particularly frustrating is that Black buyers, investors, and homeowners are often asked to overcome barriers that have little to do with financial irresponsibility. Many Black professionals today are highly educated, dual-income earners with strong careers and stable finances. Yet they still encounter markets and valuation systems that frequently fail to recognize the full worth of the communities they invest in. In many cases, Black buyers are

not underqualified, their neighborhoods are undervalued. That distinction matters, and it raises an important political and civic question: what do we do about it?

First, Black communities must become far more educated on how appraisals actually work.

Most people assume an appraisal is fixed and unquestionable. It is not.

Appraisals can be challenged, rebutted, and reviewed. Homeowners and investors should understand the importance

of gathering strong comparable sales data, documenting renovations thoroughly, presenting neighborhood development trends, and understanding how appraisers select comps. Too many people accept undervaluation without realizing there are mechanisms to dispute it.

Second, we need greater engagement with appraisal companies and lending institutions themselves. This cannot simply be treated as an adversarial issue. There must

be sustained dialogue between Black real estate professionals, developers, homeowners, and the appraisal industry about how neighborhoods are evaluated and how implicit assumptions shape valuation outcomes. Appraisers often rely on historical sales patterns without adequately accounting for neighborhood transformation, rising demand, infrastructure improvements, or broader economic shifts. Communities must push for valuation models that recognize future trajectory and actual market behavior rather than outdated narratives tied to race and geography.

Third, there is a political dimension that cannot be ignored. Regulators, housing agencies, and elected officials must continue scrutinizing appraisal disparities and modernizing oversight standards. Data transparency matters. If certain communities consistently appraise lower despite similar housing stock and market conditions, that should trigger investigation, not dismissal. The federal government has already begun acknowledging appraisal bias more openly, but acknowledgment alone is insufficient.

Accountability mechanisms must follow.

But beyond policy, there is also a cultural responsibility within Black communities themselves. We must continue investing in ownership, development, and local economic ecosystems despite the frustrations. One of the dangers of persistent undervaluation is psychological; people begin to inter-

nalize the belief that their communities are inherently less valuable. Value is often political before it becomes financial. Neighborhoods appreciate when investment, confidence, infrastructure, and ownership align over time.

This is why property remains one of the most important battlegrounds in America. The racial wealth gap in America has never been driven solely by income differences. It has been driven largely by asset appreciation and homeownership remains the largest asset most families will ever possess. When Black communities are undervalued, the issue is not simply that homes sell for less. It is that the economic futures attached to those homes are constrained before families ever have a chance to fully realize them. That is why appraisal bias deserves far more public attention, and until we answer that honestly, the market will continue doing what it has quietly done for decades assigning different values not just to properties, but to communities themselves.

how people shut down.

Plant seeds. Don’t throw bricks. Share what you’re learning. Live the principles.

Let people see the change in you. Let them see you paying down debt, building savings, investing consistently, making wiser decisions, and moving differently with money. Your example will speak louder than your lecture.

Sometimes the best way to teach is not by talking more. It’s by becoming the proof. Be the person who shows what discipline looks like. Be the person who demonstrates peace instead of panic.

Be the person who handles money with purpose. People may not listen when you preach, but they will pay attention when your life starts looking different.

Now let’s take this conversation to the next level. Financial literacy is important, but financial fluency is the real goal.

Financial literacy means you understand financial concepts. Financial fluency means you apply those concepts naturally and consistently in real life.

Literacy is knowing you need a budget.

Fluency is actually following one every month. Literacy is knowing credit card debt is dangerous. Fluency is refusing to carry balances that keep banks rich and keep you stuck.

Literacy is knowing you should invest.

Fluency is investing automatically, understanding risk, staying consistent, and not panicking every time the market gets

shaky. Literacy is knowing taxes matter.

Fluency is planning ahead so tax season doesn’t catch you slipping.

In other words, literacy is knowledge.

Fluency is behavior. That distinction matters because information alone doesn’t build wealth. Action does. Discipline does. Repetition does. Systems do.

A lot of people know better. The problem is they don’t consistently do better.

Financial fluency is when better deci-

sions become your normal routine. You don’t have to hype yourself up to save.

You save automatically. You don’t have to be reminded to review your money. You check your numbers regularly. You don’t wait until a crisis to care about your finances. You stay ready so you don’t have to get ready. That’s power.

Financial fluency gives you confidence in rooms where money decisions are being made. At the bank. At the car dealer-

ship. At tax time. In a benefits meeting.

When reviewing insurance. When deciding whether to invest, refinance, relocate, or start a business.

Fluency helps you ask better questions.

It helps you spot bad deals. It helps you recognize when something sounds too good to be true. It helps you advocate for yourself.

Inflation is real. Housing costs are high.

Health care is expensive. Retirement is mostly on you now. Jobs are changing.

Technology is moving fast. Scams are getting slicker. Debt is easier to get into and harder to escape.

The bottom line is simple: If you don’t understand money, money will control you. It will control your options, your stress, your relationships, your opportunities, and your future.

But when you learn the language of money, practice the principles, and apply them consistently, you take control back.

The goal is not just to know better. The goal is to live better, move smarter, build stronger, and become the example your family can follow.

(TriceEdneyWire.com)—These are not normal times we are living in when it comes to the partisan gerrymandering war. The state of Virginia successfully passed a referendum that allows Democrats to hit back hard in their redistricting counteroffensive against the Republicans. Virginia’s current congressional delegation has six Democrats and five Republicans, which accurately reflects the state.

The new map turns what was a fair depiction into an advantage, giving Democrats 10 of the state’s 11 districts.

This leaves the Republicans with 9 percent of the state’s congressional representation, despite Republicans and Republican-leaning voters comprising nearly half of the state’s electorate. The gerrymandering war demonstrates the latest action-reaction dynamic in electoral politics while becoming another example of Sir Isaac Newton’s third law of motion. Newton’s third law states that for every action (force) in nature, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

This means if object A exerts a force on object B, object B will exert an equal and opposite force on object A. President Donald Trump started this current redistricting madness by pressuring Texas legislators to adopt a map that favored Republicans in five seats currently held by Democrats. When Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and the Republican-led legislature complied, the Democrats didn’t accept it without a national fight. Voters in California and now Virginia have aggressively pushed back, “Donald Trump and Republicans launched this gerrymandering war,” House Democratic Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries told reporters. “And we’ve made clear as Democrats that we’re going to finish it.” The

Whenever you read what I am saying about mothers, they should be recognized every day. My mother went to heaven right at 100 years old. My friend, Dick Gregory, always said at 99 plus a few months allowed us to say she made 100 because you have to count the 9 months she spent in her mother’s belly!

I began this note to you to say that even if you didn’t get a chance to spend Mother’s Day with your Mom, don’t forget to do something for her if she is still on this earth to thank her, and if she has gone on to be with the Lord, then do something everyday that would have made her proud of you. It’s never too late to show appreciation, and mothers always deserve it.

As soon as my sisters, meaning Jotaka Eaddy, Donna Brazile, Sherrilyn Ifill, Stacey Abrams, Janaia Nelson, Latasha Brown and Win With Black Women were already preparing to guide us on what we should be doing to preserve our voting rights after the horrible case in Louisiana that would take away our right to be represented by someone who has our best interest at heart. Just like mothers, they didn’t sit around and moan and groan about how terrible the case called Louisiana v. Callais is regarding our voting rights. They reminded us of our responsibilities to register people to vote, to teach them the issues and never forget our responsibility to vote!

Just like mothers, they went right to work to give us guidance by spelling out what we can do to make positive things happen for us despite the negatives.

Commentary political version of Newton’s third law is definitely in play with the president pushing Republicans to gerrymander their states on one side and the House minority leader doing the same with the Democrats on the other.

As I lead a social justice ministry at a local church in Maryland, we are challenged with the reality that many people are not paying attention to and understanding the political climate we face. Particularly, those with long-lasting consequences for the Black community. During a recent SJM meeting, I asked the members to tell me why they felt so many Black people do not consistently vote. The purpose of the question was to identify the reasons and then discuss ways to address them.

The variety of answers included: people don’t understand the voting process and its impact, people are in “survival mode” and focused more on the personal issues of their lives, people see politics as a game and are turned off by it, people don’t vote because there is too much division and voting adds to the division, people lost hope and believe their vote doesn’t count.

Each response is understandable.

The gerrymandering war can easily turn off voters because it is a game.

It is a political game that reflects the constant power grabs for control in our social and political systems, and it feeds into the wide range of reasons people don’t vote.

If I were a voter in Virginia, I too

would have voted for the referendum’s passage. In the past, I disagreed with any methods of mapmaking that disproportionally and unfairly flip congressional seats. Generally, gerrymandering is wrong when both parties act to predetermine election results.

Before this latest war, Democratic states such as Maryland, New York, and Illinois were already heavily gerrymandered. But these are not normal times, and Newton’s law is needed to keep the aggressive Republican tactics in check.

People must always have the assurance that their one vote does matter, even in this toxic political climate. The results of gerrymandered districts remain in the hands of the voters. The positive signs from Texas show that Hispanic support is not guaranteed to meet 2024 levels. As a result, the president’s plan to create five GOP-friendly districts may actually backfire. While people are correct in their assessment about the divisiveness of politics, it should never mean that political power and control are automatically turned over to elected officials by not casting their vote. Applying Newton’s law to aggressive Republican tactics doesn’t have to be left solely to Democratic-controlled state legislatures. It still comes down to voters in the general elections, especially in gerrymandered districts that remain competitive. It is an encouraging sign to see the opposition party step up. Just as the Democratic leadership pushed back on the issue of gerrymandering by way of a national strategy, can they do the same with the anti-DEI attacks?

Office Manager

(TriceEdneyWire.com)—In 2022, I became seriously ill for the first time in my life. I could’ve stayed in bed feeling sorry for myself. I could’ve asked “Why Me, Lord?”

There was still so much ahead of me I wanted to do, and giving up was not one of the choices Mother had taught me. Like many Black women, she worked all her life to give her 9 children the best she could—even times when it was obvious she was ill. My father had the luxury of being able to walk away when times were hard, but Mother stayed the course and took care of us. She had 9 with neither of us being old enough to go out and get a job so we could help her with the bills.

We never missed a meal. We never stayed out of school more than a day for something she needed us to do. We walked miles in the rain, sleet and occasional snow until Mother figured out how to get a bus to pick up children in our area.

We lived so far back in the woods that I didn’t even know the place by its real name where we lived. All I ever knew then was that we lived on Little River! I later learned the name of the place was Melrose, Louisiana My mother worked every single day, except Sunday. That was always church day. I never heard her complain.

Instead of taking an objective look at the state of voting rights in this country that is rooted in its history to exploit rather than provide equality, the Wall Street Journal’s editorial board came together to draft a piece titled Democrats Have a Jim Crow Fantasy.”

The piece suggests that the Supreme Court ruling in Louisiana v.

Callais likely will have no meaningful impact on voting rights, basing its argument on the fact that Black voter turnout in midterms increased after Shelby v. Holder in 2013.

After cherry-picking statistics about midterm turnout in 2018 and 2022, the board had the audacity to state that “Many states in the South—including Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia—have no-excuse absentee voting” while completely ignoring the fact that the administration is aggressively trying to limit absentee voting ahead of this year’s midterms.

It also failed to mention that since 2020, an election with record voter turnout because of mail-in ballots, states responded by passing a record

Marc H. Morial

To Be Equal number of voter suppression laws with tactics that include: enforcing strict voter ID laws, shown to disproportionately impact lower income voters, purging voter rolls, and in many majority Black communities, literally removing ballot boxes.

Regarding Shelby v. Holder, the piece also ignored how the decision reduced Black political participation.

Using nearly one billion individual voter‑file records, researchers at the Brennan Center for Justice found that in the average county formerly subject to Section 5 preclearance, the relative participation of nonwhite voters worsened after federal oversight ended.

Critically, the study estimates that absent Shelby County, the White– Black turnout gap would have grown by only about 4–5 percentage points by 2022. Instead, it grew by roughly 9 points, nearly double what national trends alone would predict. That divergence reflects a causal effect of ending preclearance, not mere coincidence.

It doesn’t take a study to see how Louisiana v. Callais will impact Black voter representation in Congress; we can look at the arms race to redistrict the South that took place

within days of the decision.

The editorial closed out by saying that “The Court’s Callais ruling may result in less racial polarization to the extent that both parties will have to compete more vigorously for minority voters rather than packing them into majority-minority districts for partisan gain.”

As we see with states immediately rushing to eliminate any competition in their newly drawn maps, its clear that the real fantasy is both parties competing for minority voters.

Louisiana went as far as to cancel its primary elections to redraw a map that could potentially eliminate all of its Black districts and Tennessee created a map that establishes a one-party system that eliminates the only sitting Black member of Congress the state has.

No one claims that today resembles 1965 Selma in form. But the data show that federal oversight mattered, and its removal disproportionately burdened minority voters.

Callais was yet another nail in the coffin of the Voting Rights Act. It cosigns the dilution of the votes of Black communities which may result in the reduction of Black congressional representation in numbers worse than after Reconstruction.

Calling this reality a “fantasy” is not analysis; it is evasion and only underscores the urgency of restoring the protections that once enforced them.

Benjamin Banneker was an 18th-century Black STEM achiever On April 16, 2026, Astronaut and engineer Captain Victor Glover became the first Black man to travel to the moon. The astronaut, engineer and physician Mae Jemison in 1992 became the first African American woman to travel into space.

Beginning in 1995 physicist Shirley Ann Jackson chaired the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Before the nuclear age and onset of human space journeys, African American surgeon Charles Drew in 1941 became the first head of the American Red Cross Blood Bank.

In Pittsburgh John Paul Golden graduated from Western University Medical College (today’s University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine) in 1888; in 1893 civil engineer William Hunter Dammond was the first African American to earn a bachelor’s degree from Western University of Pennsylvania (University of Pittsburgh today); in 1910 Jean Hamilton Walls became the first Black woman to earn a bachelor’s degree from the University of Pittsburgh, in mathematics and physics.

Notwithstanding the foregoing victories, decades-long efforts to produce more abundant numbers of African Americans, nationwide, majoring in STEM areas (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) have not succeeded. America has failed Black America—indeed America itself—in this regard.

Fewer than ten per cent of college students who earned bachelor’s degrees in STEM majors in 2020 were African American, according to the Journal of Black Higher Education. Of course, this failing is but one of the many legacies of the criminalization of Black literacy and numeracy in many antebellum American states. Racism and segregation— then and since—accounted for the rest.

Robert Hill

Commentary Nearly 295 years ago, an 18th-century African American genius was born and was cut from the same cloth as the aforementioned above achievers, except many decades earlier.

Born on November 9, 1731, Benjamin Banneker was a shining example of overachievement, whose work should be cited by those who mentor talented Black youth who are inclined toward mathematics and/or science. Benjamin Banneker’s model is surely inspiring.

Benjamin Banneker was born in Baltimore County, Maryland. (The great Black abolitionists Frederick Douglas and Harriet Tubman were born in Maryland; 2004 African American Rhodes Scholar Wes Moore was born in Maryland and has been governor of that state since 2023.)

Benjamin Banneker’s father was a former slave, but his mother was never a slave.

It seems that the 18th-century wunderkind was destined for greatness. At age 17, Benjamin Banneker was among the first to document the 17-year life cycle of the intriguing cicada insect. He is credited with constructing an all-wooden clock by hand, at age 21. The clock kept accurate time for about 50 years.

Educated mainly using borrowed books from the library of Caucasian Maryland abolitionist Ellicott family neighbors, Benjamin Banneker was a mathematician, statistician, astronomer, author, engineer, and surveyor. This latter skill—surveyor— met with an opportune twist of Pennsylvania fate: enactment of the 1780 Pennsylvania Act for the gradual Abolition of Slavery and its 1788 amendment.

Weary of the legislation limiting the ability of founding-father slaveholders to move in and out freely in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with slaves and amidst political wrangling, the founders settled on territory ceded to the Federal government by slavery-loving Virginia and Maryland for the new nation’s capital. Thus, by the Residence Act of 1790, the slaveocracy known as the United States of America had a new capital: Washington District of Columbia alongside the Potomac River.

But the 100 square-mile territory needed a land survey. As a surveyor, Benjamin Banneker was on the team that provided it. Specifically, he determined mathematically the starting point and boundaries of the new city in 1791.

After getting on in years somewhat, Benjamin Banneker turned his attention to his home in Ellicott City, Maryland—where he was a lifelong state resident—and to his astronomy in the heavens where his passion resided.

Benjamin Banneker predicted accurately the solar eclipse of April 14, 1789. He published his Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia almanac in 1791. The almanac was a best-seller from 1792 for about six years.

The almanac contains weather forecasts, motion of the sun and of the moon, tables of water tides, positioning of the planets, orbits and velocity of celestial and astronomical objects, predictions of eclipses, proverbs, prose and poetry, anti-slavery writings, correspondence between tobacco/wheat farmer Benjamin Banneker and tobacco farmer/ slaveholder Thomas Jefferson and much more utilitarian content.

The 1793 edition of the almanac includes the poetry of noted Black poet Phillis Wheatley. It was the first time in history that a Black man published the writings of a Black woman; she, a former American slave to boot.

On August 19, 1791, Benjamin Banneker sent then-Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson a 1400word letter that accompanied a prepublication copy of the Banneker almanac. In the letter the Black achieving scientist chided the slaveholding phony about his enslaving ways.

In his August 31, 1791, response, Thomas Jefferson disingenuously expressed his support of Black equality, while holding some 600 Black Americans in miserable human bondage.

Benjamin Banneker’s accomplishments earned the international attention of astronomers, mathematicians and other intellectuals. Even enslaving future president Thomas Jefferson wrote of the merits of the Benjamin Banneker almanac in a letter to abolitionist French mathematician Nicolas de Condorcet, in 1791.

Centuries before the term STEM was created, polymath Benjamin Banneker was an exemplar of its focus. He died on October 19, 1806, childless and never married. On the day of his funeral, Benjamin Banneker’s house burned to the ground.

NEW PITTSBURGH COURIER

SPLC vs. the FEDS

The Southern Poverty Law Center began in 1971 as a law firm dedicated to combating poverty, racial discrimination, and capital punishment. A decade later, SPLC launched Klanwatch, an initiative to track the activities of the Ku Klux Klan. By the mid-1980s, SPLC had shifted its attention away from traditional civil rights issues toward combatting right-wing extremists. Klanwatch changed its name to Hatewatch in 1996 as it expanded to cover other extremist groups.

Hatewatch grew over the next decade but became controversial. Critics argued that SPLC included organizations and individuals with whom they politically disagreed, but classifying them as hate groups or extremists was unjustified.

The SPLC ignored the critics, whom they considered right-wing sympathizers, but their critics were proven correct when the SPLC was sued for defamation

by Maajid Nawaz, a former Islamist militant who now advocates for reform within Islam, after the SPLC listed him as an anti-Muslim extremist in 2016.

Prior to Nawaz’s lawsuit, SPLC had the opportunity to reconsider its decision when The Atlantic, The Spectator, and The Wall Street Journal accused them of making a serious mistake about Nawaz. The Lantos Foundation for Human Rights and Justice also sent a public letter to the SPLC, pleading with them to remove Nawaz from their list.

SPLC did not remove Nawaz from the list, but in 2018, SPLC apologized to Nawaz and agreed to a 3.3 million dollar settlement.

The Nawaz lawsuit indicates that beginning in 2016, when President Donald Trump began his first term, SPLC became so overeager in their fight against right-wing extremism that the organization got careless.

SPLC’s 2017 annual census of hate groups and other extremist organizations reported that the number of hate groups in the United States increased for the second consecutive year as Donald Trump’s candidacy galvanized the radical right. An SPLC representative stated, “2016 was an unprecedented year for hate. The country saw a resurgence of White nationalism that imperils the racial progress we’ve made, along with the rise of a president whose policies

J. Pharoah Doss

Check It Out reflect the values of White nationalists.”

SPLC also stated, “The overall number of hate groups likely understates the real level of organized hatred in America, as a growing number of extremists operate mainly online and are not formally affiliated with hate groups.”

The public did not question SPLC’s allegation that Trump’s presidency caused an upsurge in right-wing extremism across the country at the time. However, the Department of Justice recently claimed that SPLC contributed to the rise in right-wing extremism by secretly funneling over $3 million in donated funds to individuals associated with various extremist groups, such as the KKK, Aryan Nation, and National Socialist Party of America, between 2014 and 2023. This accusation came after a grand jury in Montgomery, Alabama, indicted SPLC on 11 counts of wire fraud, false statements to a federally insured bank, and conspiracy to commit concealment laundering.

According to the federal indictment, SPLC’s proclaimed mission was to dismantle White supremacy and confront hatred across America. However, SPLC used some of the donations to pay racist group leaders and organizers, unbeknownst to the donors. SPLC’s paid informants (field sources) actively promoted racist groups while SPLC denounced the same groups on its website.

Acting US Attorney General Todd Blanche stated at a press conference that SPLC was not dismantling these organizations. Instead, SPLC was manufacturing the extremism it claimed to oppose by paying field sources to “stoke racial hatred.”

SPLC disputed this part of the indictment.

Attorneys for SPLC argued that law enforcement agencies were always aware that SPLC paid informants to report on hate group activities. The attorneys also noted that they had records

of instances in which SPLC informants provided valuable information to authorities to help stop the activities of racist groups. Furthermore, 20 SPLC donors stated that they were not defrauded by SPLC because they were aware of the informant program and SPLC utilized their money as intended.

One SPLC supporter described it as “laughable” that the feds are charging SPLC with funding hate groups.

However, the other part of the federal indictment stated that SPLC also had a field source who was a member of the online leadership chat group that planned the 2017 “Unite the Right” event in Charlottesville, Virginia. The field source made racist postings under the SPLC’s supervision and assisted in coordinating transportation to the event for numerous attendees. SPLC established bank accounts linked to several bogus businesses in order to pay its field sources secretly. The hidden nature of these accounts enabled the SPLC to conceal the true origin, source, ownership, and control of the fraudulently obtained donation money; the SPLC paid the field sources. To keep the fraud continuing, the SPLC issued a series of misleading statements about how the accounts were operated.

The “Unite the Right” rally turned deadly when a White supremacist drove his vehicle into a crowd of counterprotesters, killing one woman, a 32-year-old civil rights activist.

This section of the indictment alleges that the SPLC carelessly engaged in unlawful acts, which seems plausible given its rush to establish that President Trump was the cause of an increase in hate groups across the country; this claim was used by the SPLC to solicit more donations and raise additional funds for the organization.

Proving whether the SPLC manufactured the extremism it claimed to combat and thus defrauded donors will be difficult; however, if the feds are correct, then SPLC is no longer a progressive organization. It has joined the ranks of what Maajid Nawaz called the “regressive left”—groups who undermine their own stated values by being just as extreme as the extremists they claim to combat.

Ona Judge escaped once.

Now they want to erase her.

(TriceEdneyWire.com)—Ona Judge escaped George Washington once.

Now the federal government is trying to make her disappear again.

I teach in Philadelphia, a short walk from the site of the President’s House.

George and Martha Washington lived there when the city was the nation’s capital. Nine enslaved people lived there too.

My own family fought in the American Revolution. We descend from the youngest boy to carry a musket at Lexington.

So I grew up believing the American story belongs to every American. Not the cleaned-up version.

Ona Judge was one of those nine. The promise of the Revolution lived in that house. So did the cruelty of slavery.

That is not a footnote. That is the American story.

For fifteen years, visitors to Independence National Historical Park could learn that story at an exhibit called “Freedom and Slavery in the Making of a New Nation.” It told the truth about the people Washington enslaved there.

It told the truth about Ona Judge, who chose freedom in 1796 and refused to return. It told the truth about a country that promised liberty while permitting slavery.

Then the Trump administration took the panels down.

In January, the National Park Service removed the exhibit on White House orders. The administration calls this kind of history too “divisive.” Empty bolt holes marked the brick where the panels used to hang. Only nine names remained, engraved on the wall. Austin.

Christopher Sheels. Giles. Hercules. Joe Richardson. Moll. Oney Judge. Paris.

Richmond. Someone left flowers.

The city of Philadelphia sued. A federal judge ordered the exhibit put back.

The administration appealed. The case is now before the Third Circuit.

This is a fight over whether America is strong enough to tell the truth about itself.

And in that fight, we need heroes.

One of them is Judge Timothy K. Lewis, a retired Black federal appeals judge.

President George H.W. Bush appointed him first as a district judge, then to the very Third Circuit now hearing this case.

Judge Lewis came up through the Republican legal world of Western Pennsylvania. His mentor was Wendell Freeland, a Tuskegee Airman who became a leading civil rights lawyer and a lifelong Black Republican in Pittsburgh.

That lineage matters.

In 2006, Judge Lewis testified at Samuel Alito’s Supreme Court confirmation hearing. The two did not agree on much.

Lewis told the committee he was “openly and unapologetically pro-choice.” But he stood up for Alito’s character because integrity mattered more than politics.

That kind of judge does not lend his name to easy fights.

A friend-of-the-court brief from the

Ben Jealous

Commentary African Methodist Episcopal Church and historian Dr. Erica Armstrong Dunbar makes the stakes plain. Take Ona Judge and Bishop Richard Allen out of this story and you erase something we cannot afford to lose. Enslaved people and free Black people helped shape the conscience of this nation.

Allen was born into slavery. He bought his freedom. He founded the African Methodist Episcopal Church in Philadelphia, the first independent Black church in the United States. He built a free Black community that pushed America closer to its own promise.

But what is divisive about telling children that enslaved people dreamed and planned and ran?

What is divisive about telling tourists that George Washington was both the father of his country and a man who held people as property?

The real division comes from the lie.

It comes from asking Black children to walk where their ancestors’ suffering has been scrubbed away. It comes from asking White children to grow up on a fairy tale. It comes from saying that loving America requires forgetting.

Real patriotism does not fear Ona

Judge.

Real patriotism can stand in the President’s House and say: Here lived George Washington. Here also lived the people he enslaved. Here a young woman named Ona Judge saw her chance and took it. Here the promise of America was broken. Here it was also pushed forward by people who refused to be owned.

This year America turns 250. The fight over how we tell our story will only get bigger. Pressure to turn the founders into marble and the enslaved into ghosts. Pressure to call love of country a cleaned-up script we must recite.

But Ona Judge already showed us another way.

She told her own story with her feet.

She walked away from the President’s House. She made herself free. Washington tried to get her back. He failed.

More than two centuries later, no government should be allowed to do what Washington could not.

Ona Judge did not ask George Washington for freedom.

She took it.

The least we can do now is refuse to let anyone take her story away.

(Ben Jealous is a professor of practice at the University of Pennsylvania and former president and CEO of the NAACP.)

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Speculating on the Donald Trump enigma and the 2027 NFL Draft Dear Editor: I strongly recommend the NFL to reconsider its decision to hold the 2027 NFL draft in the U.S. capital city, Washington, D.C. Hopefully it’s not too late, Donald Trump, the president of the United States of America, reigns as the sitting monarch of Washington, D.C. Given Trump’s past and ongoing antics in every area of American life, he will reign over every aspect of the 2027 NFL Draft that will be closely followed around the world.

Trump will demand to select the location of all draft activities in D.C. He will demand a seat on all Draft committees. Trump will demand final say so on what collegiate players get chosen by what teams. He will brag about that to the worldwide news media.

That’s just for starters. Donald Trump is prime time.

This is in the context of Trump’s

present disputes with the NFL. He wants the NFL’s Washington Commanders to change their name back to the Washington Redskins. That kind of carrying-on was and remains vintage Donald Trump.

Surprisingly, perhaps, Donald Trump did not invade the 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh. Did he decide at the very last minute to hold off until 2027 and give himself more time to show himself?

I claim very, very little knowledge of the NFL Draft or any aspects of U.S. professional sports. Donald Trump’s “behavior” during his time in the Oval Office is the logical basis of my recommendation and my speculation.

Thank You. Fred Logan Homewood Pittsburgh, PA 15221
