Right now, there are newborns and toddlers

who, as they grow up, will walk into the historic New Granada Theater in the Hill District, maybe catch a live performance, grab a

bite to eat, or just simply catch up with friends.

They would have never known that for 50 years, the New Granada was

closed. Dilapidated. An eyesore.

But thanks to a lot of hard work, planning, strategy, and of course,

funding, the New Granada Theater is just three weeks away from an official ribbon-cutting to celebrate its first tenant set-

‘Atomic Agers’—they refuse to let age define them

by Renee P. Aldrich For New Pittsburgh Courier

Have you heard of the term, "Atomic Agers?"

Simply put, atomic agers are those of us who are indeed seasoned citizens, way beyond middle age.

But we understand that our lives do not have to be diminished. Even though atoms are small in size, our atomic energy is powerful. And it’s that atomic power that makes the difference in the way some of us age.

"Atomic Agers" do whatever they want to do. They work if they want to, they travel, they start busi-

nesses, they relocate and they find love. They do all this and more. Not like young people, but like who they are as individuals in their 60’s, 70’s or even 80’s.

Here are a few local atomic agers. They have made up their minds that they will continue to live their lives as fully as they ever did—They will do it from a different perspective, not like 35-year-olds, but by embracing where they are, as opposed to where they used to be.

Independent autopsy contradicts police account in shooting of 1-year-old boy, attorney says

by David L. Snelling Civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who was hired by the family of a one-yearold boy shot and killed by police in Senatobia, Mississippi, said an autopsy contradicts the officers’ report of the incident.

According to Atlanta Black Star, police officers who responded to an alleged shoplifting call at a Walmart parking lot on June 14, 2026, fired shots into a car they say was headed straight for them.

One year-old Kohen Wiley, who was Black, was shot and later died at the hospital, sparking public outcry and calling for charges against the police officers.

On Wednesday, Crump and Van Turner, a Tennessee lawyer and former president of the NAACP Memphis chapter, shared preliminary findings from an independent autopsy during a news conference which deepens the protest.

Crump said Wiley was shot by an officer in the parking lot in Senatobia, about 40 miles south of Memphis.

He said the independent autopsy showed the bullet that struck the child came through the car’s side, and not the front, as the officers claimed.

Crump said the pathologist noted injury patterns on the child’s body caused by debris in the bullet’s wake.

He showed a picture of the child’s right torso with several abrasions.

The attorney said those abrasions were consistent with pseudo-stippling caused by tempered glass, likely from the right-side passenger window.

Crump also displayed a picture of the car, showing the damage to the passenger window.

Police said another person in the car was critical-

ly injured in the shooting.

“This police officer is shooting from the side,” Crump said during the press conference. “You can’t get that shot from the front. Why would you shoot into a vehicle from the side where you’re clearly not in harm’s way?”

News reports said one officer fired a shot into the car which was fleeing the scene as the car was headed straight in the officers’ direction.

Police officers at Walmart saw two subjects and a juvenile child running from the store and entered the vehicle.

Kohen’s mother, Vellesiya Wiley, was a passenger in the car and her friend was driving.

“I raised my baby up trying to show [the officers] he was in the car,” she told reporters.

Police said another person in the car was injured in the shooting and listed in critical condition.

The Senatobia Police Department and the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation (MBI) have publicly described the shooting as an officer-involved incident that occurred while officers were responding to the reported shoplifting call.

The MBI stated that the driver of the vehicle drove toward the officers, almost striking one, prompting an officer to fire a shot at the car.

No police officer was injured during the incident and the police department said it is committed to full transparency and will share information and body cam footage once they become available.

The MBI has not publicly identified the officers and no charges have been filed, as the investigation continues.

Crump and Wiley are disputing the police account of the incident.

Wiley testified the police were dispatched to the scene over allegedly stolen diapers and said the driver was not attempting to hit the officers.

Wiley hasn’t been charged with any crime.

She has yet to file a lawsuit.

Martin Luther King III said 63 years have passed since his father and iconic Civil Rights Leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., stood on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and declared his dream for America, the fundamental right at the heart of that dream, the right to vote, is once again under “direct assault.”

He said the 2026 March on Washington comes at a moment of profound urgency, following the United States Supreme Court’s decision to gut Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, a ruling Sharpton has called “a bullet in the heart of the

voting rights movement.”

“Defending the vote means defending the foundation of our democracy,” said Martin Luther King III. “Sixty-three years after my father stood at the Lincoln Memorial, we are called to march again, not only in remembrance, but in action.”

Social justice leader Arndrea Waters King, the wife of Martin Luther King III, said The March on Washington 2026 is a moral call to protect democracy for every generation.

“We march to defend the vote, honor those who sacrificed for it, and ensure that every voice is protected,” she said.

Under the banner “Defend the Vote,” this year’s march will bring together civil rights leaders, faith communities, organizers, and Americans from every corner of the country to demand the protection and restoration of voting rights for all citizens.

It is both a commemoration of the legacy of those who marched in 1963 and a call to action to protect the gains they fought, bled, and died to secure.

Registration for March on Washington 2026: Defend the Vote is now open.

Supporters from across the country are encouraged to register today at the National Action Network website. Additional details, including program information, speakers, and participating partners, will be announced in the weeks ahead.

NEW PITTSBURGH COURIER

1861—President Abraham Lincoln submits the first draft of the Emancipation Proclamation to his cabinet. The order freeing slaves, however, was not actually issued until Jan. 1, 1863. And even then, it benefited very few slaves. The Emancipation Proclamation freed slaves in the rebellious Southern states. But the federal government at the time did not have control of the South so no slaves actually went free. In the so-called Border States where the federal government did have authority, the Proclamation did not apply. About the only slaves who benefited were those who had already escaped and fled to the Union side during the Civil War. 1939—Jane Matilda Bolin becomes the first Black female judge in America. New York City Mayor Fiorella LaGuadia appointed her a judge in the court of domestic relations.

1963—Floyd Patterson loses his heavyweight boxing title to Sonny Liston and Liston would later lose it to a young fighter by the name of Cassius Clay—later Muhammad Ali. 2001—Actor Whitman Mayo dies in Atlanta, Ga., of a heart attack. He was 71.

Mayo is best known for his role as “Grady” in the popular 1970s television series “Sanford and Son.”

• JULY 23

1900—The first Pan African conference took place in London, England. Blacks from throughout the world gathered to plot strategies for bringing about rights for all people of African ancestry, independence from colonialism for African countries and international Black unity. This “conference” was the precursor of all the subsequent Pan African “Congresses.” Among the most prominent names present in 1900 were African-American activist and intellectual W.E.B. DuBois and West Indian lawyer H. Sylvester Williams.

1948—The Progressive Party Convention begins in Philadelphia. The convention nominates Henry Wallace for president and he makes the strongest showing of virtually any third-party candidate in American history. More than 150 Blacks were at the convention and dozens ran for office on the Progressive Party ticket. They were attracted by the party’s call for an end to segregation, full voting rights for Blacks and universal government sponsored health insurance. The party was populated mainly by liberals and leftists. Wallace’s candidacy was even endorsed by the then relatively strong American Communist Party. The party came under vicious attack during the anti-Communist hysteria of the 1950s. But positions taken by the Progressive Party forced the Democratic Party to adopt meaningful changes in order to hold onto the Black vote.

1984—The first Black Miss America Vanessa Williams is forced to give up her crown as a result of the discovery of some sexually explicit photographs. She was replaced by the first runner-up (another African American) Suzette Charles. Williams bounced back, however, and became a successful singer and actress.

• JULY 24

1651—Anthony (or Antonio) Johnson, a free Black man who had purchased freedom for himself and his wife, is awarded 250 acres of land in North Hampton, Va. Johnson was among the first group of 20 Black indentured servants brought to America in 1619. Indentured servitude was a form of slavery which allowed the person to either work for or purchase his freedom.

After becoming free, Johnson became the first wealthy Black person in America. He even purchased five indentured servants of his own. He probably picked up the name “Johnson” from his original owner but in official records from the period he is simply referred to as “Antonio the Negro.”

1802—Famed French writer Alexander Dumas is born. He was the product of a French general and a light-complexioned Black Haitian woman. Dumas would go on to become one of the world’s greatest and most prolific writers. He is best known for his classics such as “The Three Musketeers” and “The Count of Monte Cristo.”

His Blackness caused him some problems in French society, but by and large his fame and the money from his books enabled him to live an extravagant lifestyle.

1904—This is the day it is believed that actor Ira Aldridge was born in Africa. He would come to America, learn English and German, and develop into one of the world’s most accomplished Shakespearean actors. He played the role of the Moor Othello on many occasions.

• JULY 25

1916—The Black inventor of America’s first gas mask, Garrett T. Morgan, made national headlines on this day when he and a team of volunteers used his invention to rescue 32 workers trapped in a gas-filled tunnel 250 feet under Lake Erie. Morgan called his device “the Morgan safety hood and smoke protector.” But it has become known simply as the gas mask. Morgan also invented America’s first traffic light. He was born in 1877, did most of his inventing in Cleveland, Ohio, and died in 1963.

1972—Faced with possible exposure by the media, the federal government (specifically the U.S. Public Health Service) finally acknowledges its involvement in the horrific and immoral Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment. During the experiment, 399 Black men (mostly poor sharecrop-

pers from Alabama) were led to believe they were being treated for syphilis while the doctors and nurses involved (some of them African-American) were actually fooling the men with fake medicines in order to discover the long-term effects of syphilis on the human body. The “experiment” lasted from 1932 to the time it was exposed in 1972. Finally, on May 16, 1997, President Clinton issued an official apology to the eight surviving members of the experiment saying, “The United States government did something that was wrong—deeply, profoundly, morally wrong…and clearly racist.”

• JULY 26

1847—President Joseph J. Roberts declares the West African nation of Liberia an independent republic. The nation was primarily founded by former U.S. slaves returning to Africa. Roberts, himself, was born in Virginia. Three factors were behind the founding of Liberia beginning around 1821.

Free Blacks were coming under increasing discrimination in America; pro-slavery forces felt the presence of free Blacks would encourage rebellion within the slave population; and friendly Whites (like those in the American Colonization Society—ACS) felt Blacks would never be treated fairly in America and should return to Africa. The ACS helped more than 13,000 Blacks return to Africa with most going to Liberia.

1926—The NAACP awards its prestigious Spingarn Medal to Carter G. Woodson for his work in Black History. Indeed, Woodson became known as the “Father of Black History.” The historian, author and journalist founded Negro History Week—the precursor to today’s Black History Month. Woodson felt knowing true Black history would be an inspiration to people of African ancestry. He once wrote: “Those who have no record of what their forebears have accomplished lose the inspiration which comes from the teaching of biography and history.”

• JULY 27

1919—The infamous Chicago Race Riot of 1919 begins. It would last for several days and require 6,000 National Guardsmen to put it down. The Chicago disturbance was the bloodiest of 25 race riots which took place in cities throughout the country. In fact, the summer of 1919 became known as the “Red Summer” because of the wide spread number of racial conflicts. In Chicago, the rioting was started by White gangs harassing the large number of Blacks who had moved to the city for wartime jobs created by World War I. In addition to harassing and beating Blacks, the White gangs invented “drive-by shooting” as they drove through Black neighborhoods firing rifles and pistols. Young Blacks formed mobs of their own and began retaliating. When it was all over 15 Whites and 23 Blacks were dead; more than 500 people had been injured and another 1,000 left homeless.

• JULY 28

1868—The 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is ratified formally making former Black slaves citizens of the United States. Many scholars consider this the most important amendment to the Constitution. In addition to making Blacks citizens, it contains both the Due Process Clause and the Equal Protection Clause.

These clauses have been used to guarantee a wide range of rights for all U.S. citizens. The 14th Amendment was passed, in part, to overturn the “Black Codes” being adopted in many Southern states after the Civil War. The Black Codes were an attempt to give Blacks official second class status in America by, among other things, limiting their rights to vote, sue a White person or testify in court.

1915—United States Marines begin the first American occupation of Haiti. The official justification was that disturbances on the predominantly Black island might allow Germany’s Adolph Hitler to infiltrate troops into the Americas. But the U.S. invasion was driven in large measure by a desire to put down a popular rebellion which threatened the rule of Haiti’s dictator and American business interests. More than 2,000 Haitians were killed in the early weeks of the occupation which did not end until August of 1934.

1917—The NAACP organizes an 8,000-person strong “silent march” down New York’s Fifth Avenue to protest lynching and other brutalities against African Americans. The marchers were particularly outraged by the July 2, 1917 massacre of Blacks in East St. Louis, Ill. President Woodrow Wilson (considered by many Blacks to be a racist) had just taken America into World War I under the theme of “Making the World Safe for Democracy.” Many of the marchers carried signs reading “Mr. President, why not make America safe for democracy?”

2009—Death of the flamboyant Rev. Ike is announced. At his height in the mid1970s, Rev. Frederick J. Eikerenkoetter reached an estimated 2.5 million African Americans with his New York-based spiritual and financial betterment radio program. However, critics often described him as a “hustler” and a “scoundrel” who exploited poor Blacks by selling “healings” and “prayer clothes.” He died in California but was born in Ridgeland, S.C.

SPOTLIGHT ON SENIORS ‘Atomic Agers’—they refuse to let age define them AGERS FROM A1

Shawna Howze When 81-year-old Reggie Howze was 50, and already eligible for an AARP membership, he made two disturbing observations that stopped him in his tracks. The first was that he had been smoking since he was 13 years old and "guestimated" that he had already smoked 500,000 cigarettes and it was adding up since he was still smoking three packs of cigarettes per day. He had tried everything he could to stop smoking, everything from hypnosis to patches to acupuncture, but when a co-worker told him in passing one day at work, “you’ll never quit,” it was the motivation that pushed him on to seek God for support.

“I came home one day, locked my door, and got on my face in my living room and asked God to take those cigarettes from me," Reggie Howze said. "I told him, ‘God if you don’t take this from me, it's not going to happen.’"

It was also at the age of 50 that he became a runner. After getting rid of cigarettes, he began rapidly gaining weight—at the end of the first month, he had put on 30 pounds.

He said, “I knew that allowing that weight to continue would NOT be healthy, so I began walking at the reservoir at Highland Park, and slowly graduated to running.

That was 30 years ago."

Fast forward to July 2025 at the National Senior Games Association (NSGA) competition in Des Moines, Iowa, where at the age of 80, he came in second in the country in the 5K power walk, and named by the National Senior Games as “Athlete of the Month” in July 2026.

His wife, 71-year-old Shawna, currently volunteers as a Master Gardener at Phipps Conservatory; their home is surrounded in the fruits of that skill, with beautiful plants. A gifted creative, she began her health journey four years ago. She had previously stopped eating pork

RENEE P. ALDRICH

and red meat, but she eliminated meat altogether. She shared that just that change resulted in an extreme weight loss.

“I looked and had lost 40 pounds without even trying," Shawna Howze said.

She attributes a clear direction from God for many of the life-changing decisions she has made. Mrs. Howze holds both a bachelor’s degree in accounting and a master's degree in multimedia technology.

Mr. Howze holds a bachelor’s degree in nutrition and a master's degree in exercise science.

Mrs. Howze sees it as a blessing from God that at this stage in her life she still is learning, growing and having the opportunity to create. “I recently took a class in looming, and actually made a beautiful scarf—I have never

sewed, but I went and learned to make material," she said.

The couple definitely sees themselves as an atomic aging couple.

They have a brand they promote through their recently created podcast as the tool they use to reach the masses about their journey, and the value of the effort of doing so.

Their brand, and the title of their podcast is, "Living Well with Reggie and Shawna—Faith—Wellness—Purpose."

"If through the podcast we reach individuals all over the country and the world, and if only one person makes the decision to change their life because of something we said, then it will all have been worth it," Mr. Howze said.

Ms. Elaine Jenkins Currently 81 years old, she made her Jubilee Year in nursing in 2025, which means 50 years in nursing. In 2008, at age 63, she retired from Johnson & Johnson pharmaceutical sales after 30 years. During that time she attained the highest position, “executive professional pharmaceutical representative” and had the longest career of any Black woman in the pharmaceutical industry.

Prior to that, she enjoyed an extensive nursing career that included time at Mercy Hospital, St. Francis and the former Pittsburgh Hospital. At her retirement, Ms. Jenkins believed she’d be at home with her husband (whom she lost in 2024 at age 88) of 35 years, and they’d begin a lovely life of traveling, and relaxing at home.

That was not to be. Soon after she retired, she got a call from a friend who opened a home health care agency and the licensure required that she have an RN on her staff.

Ms. Jenkins worked for her for three years when her friend sold her business. Again she believed

this would be her time to dig down into her much deserved retirement. It still was not to be.

The Centers for Healthy Hearts and Souls designed to execute preventive workshops, trainings, and classes had been established and the organization needed a Nurse Coordinator/Educator. Ms. Jenkins accepted that position, saying she always had a passion for community nursing.

Ms. Jenkins contracted a serious case of COVID in 2020, and as she recovered, she was invited to become part of a team of nurses who went into various sites around the city giving out the COVID vaccine to seniors.

Ms. Jenkins definitely sees herself as an atomic ager. Even in her current role as president of AARP Chapter 4076, located in the Hill District, she is still serving. Through her profession she has been able to pour into her community, and at 81 she's not tired yet.

And in the last six months, Ms. Jenkins has traveled to London, Sweden and Antigua.

Ms. Joy Sato Ms. Joy (as she is affectionately called and it is more because of the joy that emanates from her spirit...) has a spirit that sings like someone in their 40’s, but Ms. Joy is actually 88 years old. Ms. Joy worked as the Director of Special Events at the Pittsburgh Arts Center in Shadyside all the way up to age 81 before retiring after 20 years.

Ms. Joy lived in California for 35 years and relocated to Pittsburgh when she began having grandchildren. She identifies with the term atomic aging. She has always tried to conduct herself in a way that would preserve her ability to function as a well-kept individual.

"I knew I had to take care of my body just so I could work and I kept

MS. ELAINE JENKINS

MS. JOY SATO

REGGIE AND SHAWNA HOWZE

committed to that," Ms. Joy said.

As an atomic ager, Ms. Joy starts each day by thanking God for the life she has, and then slips right into 15-20 minutes of aerobics. She recommends that everyday body movement is essential to maintaining a quality lifestyle. At the age of 88, she has very specific advice on how to be sure you are an atomic ager. First, it is important to never lose sight of your usefulness as a person, never stop growing. Second, do whatever it takes to keep your environment peaceful.

“You don’t have to react to everything—every-

thing does not deserve your energy," Ms. Joy said.

Third, never lose focus on your purpose—your reason for your daily wake up—stay curious and take responsibility for the life God gave you. Nurture yourself and lead with gratitude, and atomic aging will be your result.

State awards $1 million grant for New Granada Theater Phase II renovation NEW GRANADA FROM A1

burgh Community Engagement Center, which most recently had been housed inside the nearby Blakey Center, has moved into the New Granada Theater's third floor, the New Pittsburgh Courier has learned. The official ribbon-cutting, grand opening celebration will be Wednesday, Aug. 12, at 5 p.m. The ceremony will run from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., and a marquee lighting will occur at sunset.

The Pitt CEC in the New Granada is part of the completion of Phase I of the New Granada Theater renovation project. On Friday, July 10, 2026, Pa. Lt. Gov. Austin Davis was on hand to announce a $1 million Main Street Matters grant from the Pa. Department of Community and Economic Development to jumpstart Phase II of the project, which will bring a cafe/lounge, a commercial kitchen and a Black Box Theater to the first floor. Thanks to a partnership with Live Nation, the second-floor event space will be built for major productions, meetings, conventions and other gatherings.

"Bringing back the Theater is about more than just restoring a historic building," Lt. Gov. Davis said. "It's about restoring a cultural anchor that shaped Pittsburgh and ensuring its legacy continues for generations to come."

Time flies. And it realistically won't be long before the entire New Granada Theater will be fully renovated and all of its floors open to the public. Marimba Milliones, President and CEO of the Hill Community Development Corporation, the organization leading the New Granada Theater's revitalization, was lauded by state Rep. Aerion Abney for not giving up on the project, even when some told her to do so.

"I'm glad that Marimba decided to ignore the ignorance, and decided to stick to it, because we are able to be here to celebrate today," Rep. Abney said.

Representative Abney's House District includes the Hill District.

"The Hill District never stopped being the Hill District," voiced Milliones. "It sits between Downtown (Pittsburgh) and Oakland, two of the region's and state's top economic engines. Its significance stands on its own merit.

We are grateful that the commonwealth sees and is investing in that."

The New Granada Theater has an unrivaled history. It's been the home to music legends—Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Lena Horne, Cab Calloway, and so many more. Prominent African American architect Louis Bellinger created the structure, which opened in 1927 as the Pythian Temple for the fraternal order, the Colored Knights of Pythias.

While there are African Americans in the Pittsburgh region who remember the New Granada Theater before its closure, there is not a single person under age 50 who remembers the New Granada as anything other than a closed memory at the corner of Centre Avenue and Devillers Street.

That's all about to change.

"The building is fully stabilized, powered, life safety systems are installed," Milliones said proudly.

"Phase I is complete."

Representative Abney also gave a nod to his collegiate alma mater, the University of Pittsburgh, for honoring its commitment to the Hill District community with its Community Engagement Center as the New Granada's first tenant. Representative Abney said oftentimes, places like the Hill District hear the companies and corporations talk about investing in majority-Black communities, but then pulling out at the last moment.

Representative Abney said Pitt never wavered.

"This is a great example of what community partnership can look like," Rep. Abney said.

Milliones, in her com-

And the $1 million grant announced on July 10 was the icing on the cake.

"Investing in the New Granada Theater and the Hill District business corridor signals that Pennsylvania is invested in the great return of the Hill District," Milliones said.

"The New Granada Theater is approaching 100 years old. It holds a remarkable story, one that should inspire community members, corporate partners and public officials alike to join us in building a future that will be celebrated 100 years from today. This is not a beginning; this is a return."

Star Power—Knocked it out the park!

The names literally say it all. And every year the stars shine brighter. This year’s 52nd annual Willie “Pops” Stargell Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania MVP Awards and Connie “The Hawk” Hawkins Nationally Recognized Summer Basketball League Hall of Fame Inductions did not disappoint. Held July 11, 2026, it's always a star-studded affair that brings out the best in W.

Pa. and those who help make Pittsburgh someplace special.

It’s apparently true...that two things can be true at the same time was proven with a grand slam and slam dunk simultaneously.

As was mandated to me “52 years” ago by “Pops” as we finished off some of “The Chicken on the Hill with Will” wings...“Neal,” as he called me, “I want you to put together a program that honors the best of us, not just the higher-ups, but those people who are truly FAM-A-LEE. The people who truly make Pittsburgh the City of Champions.”

Thus, the Willie “Pops” Stargell MVP Awards was born. (However, it must be noted, it was with the leadership and direction of Coach Bill Shay that helped me solidify and fortify the concept of the awards banquet that still stands today, in part due to him.)

Thanks to you, the loyal readers of “Overtime” for indulging me once again.

But you’ve probably heard bits and pieces of how Connie Hawkins changed my life. Straight outta Slippery Rock University where I spent four of the best years of my life, playing every game but the most important one until my last year... academics. Finally getting a clue, I not only survived, but I managed to get a degree and everything (OK, OK, enough jokes. But as it turns out, everything is for

a reason). Not being good enough to live out my childhood dream to play at Penn State, my path already laid out, took me to the Rock.

A born and bred football guy from as early as the sixth grade, I knew little or nothing about basketball but to do it to break a serious sweat. Somehow and amazingly, I had three legends posters on my apartment wall at the Rock. Muhammad Ali, Jim Brown, and...wait for it...I am about to connect the proverbial dots here, yep, Connie Hawkins (I just knew about his story and struggle). Flash forward five years, I am standing in front of the newly remodeled Homewood-Brushton YMCA where I was the Acting Program Director when I met Connie, Kenny Durrett, Will Graham, and Sterling Smith...they were working out at “the Y” because Connie was still playing. In fact, leaving the Phoenix Suns to play for the L.A. Lakers.

I asked “Hawk” if I could name a basketball league after him that I was going to start at “the Y,” and the rest, as you know, is history.

(If you don’t know by now, you missed it...man did you miss it!)

After 35 years of operating one of the nation’s top 10 summer basketball leagues as rated by the Atlanta Journal Constitution newspaper, thanks to the endless superior talent of Pittsburgh and W. Pa. players, we set in motion the Hall of Fame Inductions, locking in some of the world’s greatest players, who in fact made the league famous.

Think I am exaggerating?

Here’s what ya missed (all of the following players are Connie Hawkins Hall of Fame inductees): Connie Hawkins—Phoenix Suns/ LA Lakers, Kenny Durrett —La Salle University— K.C. Kings, Will Graham —NBA, Maurice Lucas— World Champion Portland Trailblazers, Norm Nixon—World Champion L.A. Lakers, Ron Carter—L.A.

Jefferson—Northeastern University, Shawn Harvy—CHL-HOF, Jimmy Nichols—CHL-HOF, Darren Morningstar—Pitt— Dallas Mavericks, just to name a few.

PLEASE, SOMEBODY STOP ME, I COULD DO THIS ALL NIGHT!!! And now you see why we have the Connie Hawkins Hall of Fame. (Speaking of all this stuff, don’t forget the 52nd Annual Connie Hawkins League Summer Basketball Reunion, Saturday, August 15th, 6 to 10 p.m. at the Noblemen’s Club, Frankstown Road, Penn Hills. All “Ballers” and guests from any summer league are welcome. Cash bar, cash menu, free wings and fries. $20 donation to benefit Achieving Greatness Inc. “Safe Summer” Youth Programs.)

The capacity crowd at the event was treated to a variety of star power from every possible direction. And in the process helped raise money for the Achieving Greatness “Safe Summer Youth Programs.”

All this blinding star power was made possible thanks to the co-sponsorship of Senator Jay Costa, UPMC, Pirate Charities,

Jason Whitlock could have been an understudy in the movie 'Django Unchained' A very wise man, William "Smokey" Robinson once said, “Here we go again, marching head on into love, ignoring the detour signs, far past the point of no return."

We sometimes just love to hear ourselves talk.

However, this is not one of those times.

Shortly after Spain defeated Argentina to claim

the 2026 World Cup, Oliver Salt posted this beauty on the Internet: "Samuel L. Jackson calls Argentina 'racist' in bizarre social media meltdown over World Cup final." “Samuel L. Jackson sparked outrage on Sunday night (July 19) by accusing Argentina of being 'historically racist' after the World Cup final.

In the wake of Argentina's 1-0 extra-time loss to Spain, the actor reshared a post from SEC Black Alumni Network onto his Instagram story, which had urged Black soccer fans to not support the South American country in the buildup to the final.

Alongside an AI-generated photo of what appears to be his character from the 2012 movie 'Django Unchained' in an Argentina jersey, the post reads: 'Dear Black People...

Please do not cheer or root for Argentina to win the FIFA World Cup.'" I have admired Samuel L. Jackson not for months or years but for decades, and I agree with the effort that he has made in the fight against racism.

However, when many folks checked their bank accounts the day after the World Cup was over, the barn door of their bank accounts were left slightly ajar and when they dared to a peek inside of those accounts their biggest fears had come to pass: their most valuable dollars or crypto bucks had already been spent on the “Cup” and those “duckets” fled like thoroughbreds far down the road heading toward Churchill Downs with a bucket of oats, waiting. Like the Ohio Players might say: "Money gone.”

Too late to protest.

Why would anyone in their right mind or with a thimble full of brain matter waste their time or money commenting about racism in soccer or any other sport? I must admit wholeheartedly that I may be on occasion a member

of the choir singing in the key of ZzzQuil. However, I may sometimes be a part of the sportswriting community that may be continuing to be entirely or partially asleep when it comes to identifying and deciphering the core values of “ethnic insensitivity,” but heck, at least I try.

Now read this: the legendary Samuel L. Jackson portrayed the character of Stephen, the perfect “Uncle Tom” caricature, not character, in the Quentin Tarantino slave emancipating cinema thriller, “Django.”

So, it may be often said that, “life imitates art or art imitates life,” or didda dadee, dadee didda or whatever….

Please allow me to cut to the chase. There are also times that people may resemble and take on characters from cinema that may have leaped from the screen and the following person that I am going to discuss with you appears to be one of those individuals.

Jason Whitlock, a pseudo-sports journalist, “intellectual shyster,” would have been completely equipped to be the understudy of Samuel L. Jackson to play “Stephen” in the movie “Django,” you know, just in case Samuel L. might have been

injured in a stunt. As a matter-of-fact, some even argue that Whitlock may have even portrayed the character more realistically just because Whitlock is in fact, an authentic, real live breathing and no-holds-barred “Calvin,” in the flesh.

ChatGPT provides an abbreviated bio of Jason Whitlock. “Jason Whitlock is an American sports journalist, columnist, podcaster, and culture commentator known for his outspoken, often controversial voice in sports media. Born April 27, 1967, in Indianapolis, Indiana, he played Division I football as an offensive lineman at Ball State University before beginning his journalism career.”

Some people swear that Whitlock may have left remnants of a few body parts back at “Ball State.”

On November 25, 2025, Sami Haider posted an article on msn.com: "'I Want Him To Flop:' Jason Whitlock Says Shedeur Sanders Sends ‘Horrible Message’ To Kids."

Next is a an excerpt from that article.

“Shedeur Sanders celebrated his first NFL victory as the Cleveland Browns’ starting quarterback in Week 12. The rookie led the Browns to a 24-10 win over the

Las Vegas Raiders. His performance included 209 passing yards with one touchdown and one interception.

However, controversial analyst Jason Whitlock wasn’t impressed with how Sanders acted after the historic debut victory at all. 'Shedeur Sanders mimicked the exact same behavior his father demonstrated after Colorado beat TCU three years ago. Prime Sexuals mimicked the exact same behavior they showed after Colorado beat TCU three years ago. When you don’t learn from history, you repeat it,' said Whitlock. On his podcast, Whitlock made harsh comments about Deion Sanders’ parenting style. He said Deion’s parenting resulted in a 'juvenile' son who doesn’t know how to act.

Whitlock also said that Sanders is a perfect example of “entitlement run amok” and “clownish behavior.” Remember, for centuries people of color have on many occasions been depicted as buffoons and clowns.

Whitlock has learned from experience that if you behave like a good boy, you will be rewarded.

Not receiving an award for what you may have accomplished but rewarded for turning in the crimi-

nal on the wanted poster.

Anything of substance that Jason Whitlock may have accomplished was not because of pure talent.

It has always come to pass because of a combination of society sanctioning his behavior as well as what might have written.

Shedeur Sanders not only is blessed with an ultra-wealthy father who came from across the tracks, his NFL Hallof-Famer father Deion Sanders has made enough money to buy the railroad, trains and the tracks that the trains that run on those tracks. It has been shared by many and disputed by few that Jason Whitlock allegedly has a recurring order for Chapstick because his lips may be dried out from kissing a few MAGA folks where the sun doesn’t dare to shine, you digg…

I may be a bit drowsy, but I am by no means in a coma. Folks like Jason Whitlock are on intellectual, cultural and moral life support. Hey Jason, before I go, I have a message for you. Many journalists, dead or alive, just might say: “We misses you, like we misses a rock in our shoes.”

Property is Power!

Why the dream Booker T. Washington preached in 1905 still matters today The national conversation about Black economic progress has long been defined by access. We measure advancement through educational attainment, professional achievement, political representation and civic participation, and rightly so. Each represents a victory over barriers that once seemed permanent. Yet beneath those visible markers of progress lies a quieter question, one that has shaped the American economy since its founding. Who owns the assets that appreciate while everyone else is working? More than a century ago, Booker T. Washington believed he knew the answer. His insight was not merely about economics, it was about power; it was about permanence. And it remains strikingly relevant in an era when conversations about racial equity often emphasize representation while giving far less attention to ownership.

In 1905, America was only 40 years removed from

Don’t let fraud and scams ground your summer vacation Sponsored by JPMorganChase

ANTHONY O. KELLUM emancipation, but freedom remained profoundly incomplete for millions of Black Americans. Across the South, voting rights were being systematically stripped away. Jim Crow laws had become entrenched, lynching was used to terrorize Black communities, and economic opportunity was intentionally constrained through law, custom and violence. Against that backdrop, Booker T. Washington traveled the country delivering a message that many found controversial not because he rejected political rights, but because he argued that political freedom, standing alone, could not secure lasting independence. Economic ownership, he believed, was the indispensable foundation upon which genuine freedom would rest.

Booker T. Washington’s philosophy is often misunderstood as accommodation or political retreat. It was neither; it was an argument about sequence. “It is at the bottom of life we must begin, and not at the top,” he told audiences, insisting that no people could sustain political influence without first establishing an economic foundation. He worried that Black Americans, understandably eager to secure civil and political rights after centuries of oppression, might overlook the enduring power of ownership. In one of his most remarkable observations, he lamented that “... a seat in Congress or the State Legislature was more sought than real estate or industrial skill.”

More than 120 years later, that sentence still carries unusual force. America continues to debate representation with great intensity yet often pays comparatively little attention to the question Washington believed would ultimately determine whether that representation translated into lasting prosperity.

Washington was not dismissing politics; he underSEE PROPERTY IS POWER B2

As you make your summer travel plans this year, or perhaps you’ve already hit the road or you’re on your way to the airport, one thing to keep in mind—without putting too much of a damper on your trip—is to stay financially vigilant when finalizing your vacation plans.

The travel and events sector is especially susceptible to fraud and scams as people are looking for deals in locations that might be unfamiliar, with bad actors savvier than ever when it comes to separating travelers from their money. Once travelers figure out their plans, they’re ready to hand over the funds to make their dream vacations happen—and scammers are more than happy to take it.

Aja Clark, a community manager in D.C., offers these tips to help you avoid the latest and most common travel scams so you can relax and enjoy your trip.

Vacation rental scams So you’ve found a great house on a vacation rental website and email the property through the website.

You might have received a call back from the “owner,” who asked you to send your deposit through Zelle or another peer-to-peer app. The “owner” will often pressure you into sending a deposit to hold the property, saying there’s a lot of demand for the location, and may ask to move the conversation from the official website to a private messaging app.

As your trip gets closer, you might reach out to confirm the details or assume all is well and travel to the property at the start of your trip.

That’s when you discover the location is already booked, not available to rent, or doesn’t exist at all.

The listing you saw could have been fake, or a fake phone number was

AJA CLARK posted to a real listing, and the true owner has no idea about your reservation. Either way, you’re stuck without lodging and your payment, with little chance of getting your money back.

Most major property rental sites offer fraud guarantees, but only if you pay and communicate with the owners through the site. To avoid lodging scams, try to see properties in person if possible, read reviews from other travelers, and pay through the official platform. Sending deposits through wire transfers or P2P apps is like sending cash—once you send it, you may not be able to get it back.

“Free” trips Unless you’ve won a legitimate contest or sweepstakes—and even those should be examined—there’s no such thing as a free vacation. If you get a call, text, email or other notification

that you’ve won a free vacation, it may be a scam, especially if you don’t remember entering a contest.

Watch out for automated calls or texts offering free vacations or “vacation deals.” There may not be a vacation package available at all, or you’ll be asked to pay processing fees, taxes, and other costs to claim your “free” trip, which might include substandard accommodations.

If you did enter a contest and are told you’re the winner, you won’t be asked to send money to claim your prize. The Federal Trade Commission is a good resource for information on recognizing legitimate versus fraudulent contests.

Flight scams If you hear about a charter flight or other private flight deal to a destination, sometimes including a tour or hotel stay, be extra careful. Too many would-be travelers find out after paying their money that the flight, and sometimes the entire trip, is nonexistent.

The U.S. Department of Transportation maintains updated lists of approved charter flights so you can make sure the company you’re considering is legitimate.

Concert/event ticket scams The event ticket industry is ripe for scammers. You might find an amazing deal for a sold-out show on social media, send money to the seller, and never hear from them again. Not only do you not have concert tickets, but there’s also no way to get your money back.

While some social media sellers might be legitimate, the best sources for ticket deals are verified resale sites that handle transactions and guarantee authenticity. If something goes wrong, there’s a digital “paper SEE SUMMER VACATION B2

Stop treating ‘budget’ like a bad word Mention the word budget, and some people immediately tense up. They picture cutting out everything they enjoy, living on ramen noodles, or feeling guilty every time they spend a dollar. To them, budgeting feels like financial punishment instead of financial freedom. That thinking is exactly backwards.

Somewhere along the way, the word budget picked up a bad reputation. It became associated with struggle, sacrifice and saying “no.” Ironically, the people who dislike budgeting the most are often the very people who need it the most.

Let’s clear something up right now.

The words budget and financial planning are interchangeable. A budget, in its most basic form, is simply a spending, saving and investment strategy for your money. That’s financial planning.

When people say they need a financial plan but don’t want a budget, they’re saying the same thing without realizing it.

Think about it. Every successful business, nonprofit organization, government agency and professional sports team operates with a budget. They don’t create budgets because they’re expecting failure. They create budgets because they expect success and understand that every dollar needs a purpose. Mon-

ey without a plan usually disappears.

Yet many people refuse to create one for the most important business they’ll ever manage—their own household.

A budget isn’t punishment. It’s preparation.

One of the biggest myths I hear is, “A budget restricts my spending.”

Nope. Your income restricts your spending— not your budget.

Your paycheck already determines how much money you have available.

The budget simply tells you how to use that money wisely.

Blaming your budget for your financial limitations is like blaming a tape measure because your new couch won’t fit in the living room. The tape measure didn’t create the problem. It simply revealed reality.

Here’s another misconception.

People think budgeting is complicated.

It isn’t. A budget isn’t complicated.

In fact, it only has one rule: Don’t go over budget!

That’s it. Everything else—spreadsheets, budgeting apps, envelopes, per-

centages and formulas—is simply a system designed to help you follow that one rule.

Before the month begins, decide how much you’re going to spend in each category. Then your job is simple: stay within those limits.

Perfection isn’t the goal. Consistency is.

The beauty of budgeting is that it gives every dollar an assignment.

When you create a budget, you’re being proactive and intentional with your money. You’re telling your money what to do before you spend it.

Without a budget, you’re being reactive and impulsive with your money. Bills show up. Temptation strikes.

Something goes on sale. A friend invites you out. Before long, you’re staring at your bank account wondering the same thing millions of Americans ask every month: “Where did all my money go?”

The money didn’t disappear. It simply went wherever your emotions, habits and circumstances directed it. That’s

the difference between managing your money and letting your money manage you.

As I often say, “Money is the greatest magician. It can disappear before your eyes without you knowing.”

Every dollar that comes into your household has a job. Some dollars pay your mortgage or rent. Some buy groceries. Some cover transportation. Others should build your emergency fund, eliminate debt or grow your retirement investments.

If you don’t assign those jobs yourself, your money will gladly find another assignment. Maybe it’s another drive-thru meal. Maybe it’s another streaming subscription you forgot to cancel. Maybe it’s another online purchase because it was “on sale.”

None of those purchases are necessarily bad. The problem is they’re often unplanned. Unplanned spending eventually becomes financial stress.

A budget flips that script by giving your money clear marching orders before life starts making decisions for you.

The good news is there isn’t just one way to budget.

come toward needs, 30 percent toward wants and 20 percent toward savings and debt reduction.

Others prefer the Pay Yourself First approach by automatically moving money into savings and investments before paying anything else.

Some like the discipline of zero-based budgeting, where every dollar receives an assignment before the month begins.

Others still swear by the old-school envelope method, dividing cash into spending categories so once the envelope is empty, spending stops.

Here’s what I’ve learned after years of coaching people with money.

The best budget isn’t the fanciest one. It’s the one you’ll actually follow.

Too many people spend weeks searching for the perfect budgeting app

while ignoring the real issue: consistency.

A simple budget followed every month beats a sophisticated budget abandoned after two weeks.

Another reason people resist budgeting is because they think it eliminates fun.

Actually, it’s the opposite. A good budget gives you permission to enjoy your money without guilt.

Want to take a vacation? Budget for it. Want season tickets, concert tickets or date nights?

Budget for them. Want to upgrade your wardrobe?

Budget for it.

The problem isn’t spending money.

The problem is spending money that should have gone toward rent, groceries, debt payments, retirement savings or your emergency fund.

A budget doesn’t tell you that you can’t enjoy life. It simply helps make

sure tomorrow isn’t sacrificed for today.

A good budget doesn’t create financial drama. It removes it.

Instead of wondering whether you can afford something, you already know. Instead of hoping your bills get paid, you’ve already planned for them. Instead of relying on credit cards every time life throws you a curveball, you’ve prepared for unexpected expenses before they happen.

That’s real financial confidence.

Remember this: Wealth

usually isn’t built through one giant financial decision. It’s built through thousands of small decisions made consistently over time.

Every paycheck is another opportunity to tell your money where to go.

Every month is another opportunity to improve your financial habits.

Every budget is another step toward financial independence.

And never forget another one of my favorite sayings: “If you don’t get serious about your money,

you’ll never have serious money!”

At the end of the day, you’re going to spend your money anyway.

You might as well have a plan.

People who refuse to budget often believe they’re avoiding restrictions. In reality, they’re surrendering control.

They’re allowing impulse purchases, poor planning and unexpected expenses to dictate their financial future.

A budget isn’t about limiting your life. It’s about expanding your options. The more intentional you become with your money today, the more opportunities you’ll have tomorrow. Financial freedom doesn’t happen by accident. It’s built one paycheck, one decision and one budget at a time.

Don’t let your money tell you where it went. You tell your money where it’s going.

Take control of your

paycheck before your paycheck controls you.

Because when you master your budget, you begin mastering your financial future.

And that’s when real financial confidence begins.

Property is Power! The dream Booker T. Washington preached PROPERTY IS POWER FROM B1

stood the importance of the ballot box as well as anyone of his era. His point was subtler political influence without an economic foundation is inherently fragile.

Laws can change, administrations come and go, courts reverse precedent, majorities shift. But families who own productive assets possess something that is less vulnerable to the changing winds of politics; they possess leverage.

By 1903, speaking before the Brooklyn Institute in New York, Washington expanded this argument even further.

Reflecting on the American founding, he observed that one of the nation’s defining aspirations had been to secure “the most complete guarantee of the safety of life and property.” The pairing of those words was deliberate to Washington; liberty and property were inseparable. A society that protected freedom while leaving large segments of its population without meaningful opportunities to own productive assets

had fulfilled only part of its democratic promise.

That observation speaks directly to the present moment.

Today’s conversations about racial inequality often focus on disparities in income, educational attainment or employment. Those discussions are essential, but they sometimes obscure a more fundamental distinction; the difference between earning and owning. Income provides stability, ownership creates permanence.

Wages finance today’s expenses but appreciating assets finance tomorrow’s opportunities. The American economy has always rewarded ownership more generously than labor because assets compound while wages are spent. That is why the story of wealth in America is, at its core, a story about property.

Washington understood this intuitively long before economists could measure it throughout his speeches across Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Virginia, Tennessee, the Carolinas and major Northern cities

including New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago. He returned repeatedly to the same themes. He urged Black families to purchase homes rather than remain lifelong tenants. He encouraged Black farmers to own the land they cultivated rather than simply work it. He promoted saving capital, mastering trade, building businesses and establishing institutions rooted in ownership rather than dependence. No race, he argued, could achieve lasting independence while remaining economically dependent on others.

To Washington, land was never simply acreage, it represented security, leverage, education, citizenship and inheritance. A farm was not valuable merely because it produced crops. It could finance a child’s future, provide collateral for investment, create stability during economic hardships and become an asset passed from one generation to the next. Likewise, a home represented far more than shelter, it symbolized permanence, civic participation and confidence in the future of a community.

Modern research has largely confirmed what Washington understood through observation. For most American families, homeownership remains the single largest source of household wealth. Equity accumulated over decades finances higher education, entrepreneurship, retirement and intergenerational transfers of wealth.

Property becomes capital, and capital creates choices that wages alone rarely can.

This reality carries particular significance for Black America because the wealth gap has always been, in important respects, an ownership gap. The Black middle class has never been more educated or professionally accomplished than it is today. Black Americans lead major corporations, serve in Congress and on federal courts, teach at leading universities and build successful businesses across nearly every sector of the economy. These achievements deserve recognition, they represent extraordinary progress, yet the racial wealth gap remains considerably wider than the income gap; a reminder that educational success and professional advancement, while essential, do not automatically produce wealth.

The explanation is neither mysterious nor accidental. Wealth accumulates primarily through appreciating assets. Families who own homes, businesses, commercial real estate and investment portfolios generally experience compounding gains across generations. Families excluded

from those opportunities often begin each generation from a similar starting point, regardless of improvements in income.

Ownership changes the trajectory because ownership allows time to work on behalf of the owner.

This is why the next chapter of Black economic progress should not abandon the pursuit of equal opportunity but rather expand it. Access remains indispensable, strong schools, fair lending, civil rights protections, political participation and equal treatment under the law remain foundational commitments of a democratic society, but access alone has never guaranteed wealth ownership has.

Perhaps that is Booker T. Washington’s most enduring lesson. He challenged a generation emerging from slavery to think beyond immediate survival and toward permanent economic citizenship. More than a century later, the challenge is different, but the principle remains remarkably similar. The question is no longer whether Black Americans can enter institutions that once excluded them. It is whether they are building ownership within the economy.

That is the philosophy behind Property is Power! It is not merely a slogan about real estate. It is a broader argument about how durable wealth is created, preserved and transferred. It recognizes that governments change, policies evolve and markets fluctuate, but families who own appreciating assets possess something that extends beyond a single election cycle or economic moment. They possess leverage, stability and the ability to transfer opportunities to the next generation.

Booker T. Washington understood that freedom without ownership remained incomplete. More than a century later; his observation still challenges us. If the twentieth century expanded access, perhaps the defining work of the twenty-first century is to expand ownership. Because history suggests that while access may open the door, it is ownership that builds the house and gives future generations the keys.

Guest Editorial

Justice requires the truth The deaths of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, who was fatally shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Texas, and Nolan Xavier Wells, the 18-year-old Black college football player whose body was recovered after he disappeared during a boating outing in Mississippi, have once again raised questions that demand answers.

While the circumstances surrounding these two cases are very different, the principle is the same: there must be independent, transparent, and thorough investigations that follow the facts wherever they lead.

This is not simply about two tragic deaths.

It is about the state of public trust in America.

We are living in a political climate in which nearly every institution is viewed with skepticism. Government agencies, law enforcement, the media, and even the courts are routinely questioned by large segments of the public. Whether justified or not, confidence has eroded to the point that every controversial death is immediately viewed through the lenses of politics, race, ideology, or immigration.

That is precisely why independence matters.

Reports indicate that ICE agents were attempting to apprehend another individual when Salgado Araujo was shot and killed.

His family deserves a full accounting of what happened, free from any appearance of institutional bias. Likewise, Wells’ family has raised legitimate questions about the events that led to his death after spending time on the water with several friends. Their request for additional scrutiny should not be dismissed as mere suspicion or speculation. It should be respected as a reasonable demand for transparency.

An independent investigation is not an accusation. It is a safeguard.

If government officials acted appropriately, an impartial review would strengthen public confidence in that conclusion. If mistakes were made—or misconduct occurred—those responsible should be held accountable. Justice works only when the public believes the process is fair, impartial, and free from political influence.

America has learned, often the hard way, that institutions investigating themselves rarely inspire confidence. Families deserve more than assurances. Communities deserve more than press releases. They deserve evidence, transparency, and accountability.

No one should prejudge either case.

Facts—not rumors, politics, or social media—must determine the outcome. But allowing independent investigators to examine every witness statement, every piece of physical evidence, and every official action is the surest way to establish those facts.

Equal justice cannot depend on a person’s race, immigration status, political affiliation, or the agency involved. It must rest on truth.

In a nation already strained by polarization and distrust, independent investigations are not merely procedural exercises—they are essential to preserving the public’s faith in justice itself. The families of Salgado Araujo and Wells deserve clear answers. So does the American people. Truth, pursued without fear or favor, remains the strongest foundation upon which justice—and public trust—can stand.

What’s going on?

(TriceEdneyWire.com)—Marvin Gaye once asked What’s Going On? If he were here today, I think the answer would be clear to him.

RACISM! We have a government that uses phrases like, “This never happened before” and other renditions that tell us whatever it is, It is happening NOW! I don’t know where the man who would be king or Hegseth were during the ceremony for Chaplain William Green, but they sure weren’t there!

The past week, we had a real show of rudeness. If you don’t rule out the former A.G. Pam Bondi with the worst ever performance before Congress, then she would have been the first who didn’t know she was there to answer questions being asked by Congress. Putting her record of rudeness aside and starting over with the person now seeking the job of A. G. to represent the people of the U S, Todd Blanche doesn’t know he is to represent the people—not the President.

So if we take that clear message over to what was once our Department of Defense—now Department of War, at a recent event, I saw clear evidence that the War Secretary has learned from his boss who just delivered a shameful and debunked picture of the 2020 election.

A few days ago, the Department of Army showed us a positive picture of what positive men and women do

Dr. E. Faye Williams, Esq.

Commentary to protect and serve our country. I was invited to attend a great event honoring Army Major General William Green Jr. a Black man, who until April 2, 2026 was Chaplain of the Army. He was dismissed by Pete Hegseth without cause. Army personnel, friends and family of Major General Green (now retired) showed up to honor a compassionate, highly accomplished man for his great service to our country.

The unusual ousting of the Army’s top Chaplain prompted widespread concern from lawmakers, religious leaders and friends regarding Major General Green’s sudden dismissal by Pete Hegseth without cause. Others are allowed to voluntarily retire. —but not this Chaplain! This caused major ripple effects across the Department of Defense, drawing sharp criticism from officials everywhere. His removal is perceived as a significant departure from standard leadership changes, which are typically managed through voluntary retirements. A few days ago, people from across the nation came to Conmy

Hall, Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall to celebrate this highly accomplished man for his service.

Hegseth nor Trump neither sent a message nor showed up for the event.

I’m glad they chose to stay away.

It wasn’t their crowd! I don’t think either of them would have been welcome among the positive and grateful attendees who were there, admirers and the family of Major General Green showed up in mass.

So did military personnel and others who knew Major General Green.

Dr. Pamela Wilson, President of I AM WOC, came in from Chicago for the ceremony. Next to Major General and Mrs. Green, Dr. Wilson, was the most popular person there! Many of those who came to honor Chaplain Green seemed to have been positively impacted by Dr. Wilson and Maj. General Green somewhere along the way. You don’t have to know what a great impact some people have on others, but they are out there, and the ceremony honoring Major General Green (Ret.) helped us to remember that despite the negativism in our nation, there are numerous examples for all of us to honor those who show the best of humanity. Thank you, Chaplain Green and President Wilson.

Clarence Thomas is no Thurgood Marshall In the month of July, nearly 120 years ago, Thurgood Marshall was born. He went on to become the first African American to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court, as many of us know. The second Black member on the Court is the currently serving Clarence Thomas, as we all know.

The two high-ranking Black male Supreme Court associate justices reflect polar opposites in judicial thinking and judicial decisions. Whereas Thurgood Marshall devoted his professional life to advancing an aggressive civil rights agenda, Clarence Thomas seems bent on unraveling it.

Ironically, both grew up victimized in the Jim Crow racially segregated southern United States. Ultimately, the impact that reality had on each seems to have informed both their approaches to issuing legal opinions and, for that matter, informed their outlook on life.

Thurgood Marshall was born in Baltimore, Maryland shortly after the turn of the 20th century in 1908.

The gifted student came to Pennsylvania to study at Lincoln University outside of Philadelphia. He graduated with honors from that Black college, one of the nation’s first.

Inspired by his father to go to law school, Thurgood Marshall was forbidden from attending the officially Jim Crow racially segregated University of Maryland School of Law in his home state.

But, Thurgood Marshall’s school-teacher mother pawned her wedding and engagement rings to pay for the young man to attend law school at the African American Howard University in nearby Washington D. C. Mrs. Norma Marshall also rented out a room to the future great African American Pennsylvania legislator young K. Leroy Irvis, as the upstate New Yorker began his teaching career in Baltimore.

Thurgood Marshall graduated from Howard Law School in 1933. He finished first in his class.

The brainiac moved to the Baltimore branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP.) With the NAACP, Thurgood Marshall experienced great satisfaction from his legal victory in Mur-

Robert Hill

Commentary ray vs. Pearson, gaining admission to the very law school that had denied Thurgood Marshall admission—for Black applicant Donald Murray.

Thurgood Marshall successfully argued more U.S. Supreme Court cases with a win rate greater than any attorney in history, prevailing in 29 of 32 cases, nearly 91 percent of them.

Most famously, Thurgood Marshall and his NAACP team won the Supreme Court Brown vs. the Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas decision that outlawed racial segregation in the nation’s public schools.

Thirteen years after that 1954 triumph, Thurgood Marshall, was himself a member of the U.S. Supreme Court. He often dissented from the Court’s rulings, keeping faith with the cause of justice that led to his appointment to the Court.

Pittsburghers might like to know that their then-state legislator, the aforementioned K. Leroy Irvis, was denied service at Harrisburg’s Moose Lodge No. 107 restaurant, which did not serve Blacks. When the Irvis lawsuit in the matter reached the Supreme Court Thurgood Marshall was there, and Mr. Irvis lost.

Dissenting, Mr. Justice Marshall found that the Moose Lodge discrimination violated the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and sided with K. Leroy Irvis in 1972. In 1977 K. Leroy Irvis became Speaker of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives by unanimous vote.

(In 1764 slaveholder Benjamin Franklin was elected to the same office, also unanimously.)

On January 24,1993, at age 84, Thurgood Marshall died.

President George H. W. Bush “replaced’’ him with Clarence Thomas.

Clarence Thomas was born in the Deep South on January 23, 1948, in Pin Point, Georgia.

Raised by his Catholic grandfather, Clarence Thomas prepared for the priesthood. The honor student instead quit Conception

Seminary College because of racial bigotry.

In 1968 the Geechee from Georgia enrolled as a sophomore at the College of the Holy Cross, a Catholic school where he was among a few Black students. He was a founder of the Black Student Union there.

The maw of campus protests and dissension helped to convert Clarence Thomas, whose judicial opinions today are to the right of the most right-wing Supreme Court justices.

Along the way, graduating from Holy Cross with cum laude honors in 1971, Clarence Thomas was admitted to the law schools at both Harvard and Yale universities. Clarence Thomas graduated from Yale Law School in 1974 as an “excellent student’’, according to Professor Guido Calabresi.

Whether self-hate or some other inexplicable force(s) impels the positions he takes on the most profound legal issues of our era, Clarence Thomas appears to be no friend of justice, and a few facts must be taken into account in evaluating what he says and does.

In the televised Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on his Supreme Court nomination Clarence Thomas forcefully denied sworn allegations by law professor Anita Hill that he sexually harassed her at work.

He bellowed to the world, “…

This is a high tech lynching for uppity Blacks who in any way deign to think for themselves…’’

As an associate Supreme Court justice, Clarence Thomas told a New York Times reporter that his Geechee-Gullah Georgia background rendered him uncomfortable speaking publicly around White people, U.S. News reported in 2016.

Although it is doubtful that the perquisites of high office, the advancement of his right-wingagenda and the enjoyment of his ill-gotten gains could have been made possible without his Yale Law enrollment, he despises his Yale degree as an Affirmative Action degree.

Thurgood Marshall is an American hero. Clarence Thomas replaced him. But Clarence Thomas, you’re no Thurgood Marshall.

From the Revolutionary War to WWII to present day. From slavery to Jim Crow, racial injustice, fighting for civil rights, to present day when some are trying to take away the accom-

African Americans continue to fight for their place in America— their country. They fight to defend their country, to improve the country, for all people. They understand better than many others what it really means to be free.

After all of what this country has done to them, African Americans love America, and I admire, and

thank them, for all they have done for America.

The growing cost of homelessness (TriceEdneyWire.com)—In 2024, two hotels and several residents of San Francisco’s Tenderloin district sued the city, alleging it is using the neighborhood as a containment zone for rampant illegal drug use and other vices, making the residents terrified to leave their homes and businesses unable to recruit staff.

According to the complaint filed in federal court, the plaintiffs did not seek monetary damages. Instead, they wanted officials to clear sidewalks of illegal drug dealers and fentanyl users, violent behavior, and tent encampments and to treat the troubled Tenderloin area as it would any other neighborhood where crime is not tolerated. “They demand an end to the rampant illegal street vending and from the squalor and misery that exists throughout their neighborhood because the city has decided that people in the throes of addiction can live and die on the Tenderloin streets,” said Matt Davis, one of the attorneys, in a prepared statement.

In downtown Los Angeles, Central City East, also known as Skid Row, remains a critical humanitarian and public safety crisis characterized by a massive concentration of 4,000 to 5,000 unsheltered homeless individuals across a 50-block area. Similar to the troubled Tenderloin section of San Francisco, Skid Row struggles with severe open-air drug markets, violent crime, daily emergency calls connected to drug overdoses, and untreated mental illness, leading to dangerous and unpredictable conditions, particularly after dark.

There have always been various degrees of poverty and poor people in our nation, but we didn’t always have large-scale and visible homelessness on the streets of our cities across America. While conservatives revere Ronald Reagan for how he transformed the conservative movement, the modern mass homelessness crisis in the U.S. emerged in the early 1980s and is tightly linked to policy and ideological shifts under President Reagan—especially cuts to affordable housing, social safety-net programs, and mental health services, combined with “Reaganomics” and deregulation that increased economic insecurity for low-income residents.

Before the early 1980s, older “skid row” districts

David W. Marshall

Commentary comprised a relatively small homeless population—-often single men in transient hotels or missions—rather than families, women, and children in large numbers. The rise in homelessness coincided with the election of Reagan and a conservative movement to roll back federal responsibility for social welfare. The Reagan administration advanced an individualist, anti- “big government” ideology that framed poverty and homelessness as personal failure rather than structural injustice. It aimed to cut domestic social spending, deregulate markets, and shift responsibility to states, cities, and private charity.

One of the most direct targets was the sharp reduction in federal funding for low-income housing.

Federal housing assistance (construction and support for low-income housing) was cut by roughly 70 percent to 80 percent over the decade: funding fell from around $30 to $32 billion in 1981 to about $7 to $9 billion by the late 1980s, drastically shrinking new affordable housing production and subsidies.

As older units aged or were demolished and with no comparable new stock being provided, poor households were pushed into an increasingly tight private rental market, with more people ending up in shelters or on the streets.

The policy of “Reaganomics” did not help people who were already living on the margins. It combined tax cuts for the wealthy, deregulation, and a tight monetary policy that contributed to high unemployment in the early ‘80s, particularly in industrial and urban areas where many low-income people lived.

At a time when wages stagnated or declined for low-wage workers, rent rose faster than incomes in many cities, creating an affordability gap that left more households one crisis away from losing the roof over their heads. The Reagan administration’s budget severely reduced funding for key safety-net and social services programs that were in place to guard poor households from homelessness. Programs affecting income support, health, and human services, including Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), food assistance, and other social programs—faced tighter eligibility requirements, making it harder for vulnerable families to stay housed. Local governments, also squeezed by federal cuts, struggled to expand shelters and services fast enough, leading to overcrowded emergency systems and more people left outside.

The first target of the Reagan administration was housing. The second was the safety-net programs, and the third was mental health policy. The shift away from large state psychiatric hospitals had begun earlier, but Reagan’s administration reduced federal support for community mental health centers and shifted responsibilities to states without providing sufficient resources. These unfunded mandates resulted in many people with serious mental health and substance-use challenges ending up homeless or cycling between streets, shelters, and jails rather than receiving stable treatment and housing. We cannot forget how the specific cuts and policy shifts under Reagan established a long-lasting affordable housing deficit and weakened the safety net that subsequent administrations have not fully reversed.

The current homelessness is not only a humanitarian and public safety crisis, but it is also threatening local tourism. Homeless encampments destroy tourism, warns George Lence of Nicholas & Lence Communications. When referring to New York, he stated that the city and state stand to lose $7.5 billion in tourism tax revenue.

Many people can easily forget how the Reagan administration brought us to this point. Now we are faced with the human fallout from Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill.” The Band-Aid solutions don’t work.

The encampment policy of removing tents from sidewalks is only optics when the tents return, or they show up one block away. Jurisdictions must decide whether they will continue to manage visible suffering through sweeps, temporary housing through hotels and fragmented service, or seriously reverse Reaganomics by accepting the political cost of building large-scale permanent housing along with expanding mental health and addiction treatment.

The generation after Robert L. Woodson Sr. On May 20th, 2026, a New York Times headline announced the death of Robert L. Woodson Sr., leader of the Black conservative movement, at the age of 89.

In 1981, he founded the National Center for Neighborhood Enterprise in Washington, D.C., which later became known as the Woodson Center. It emphasized grassroots empowerment rather than government-led intervention. Woodson was a religious man who saw poverty and crime as challenges that needed cultural and moral solutions, rather than just economic or racial remedies.

Woodson advised Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, and in 1990 he received the MacArthur “Genius” Fellowship.

When first-term Democratic Senator Barack Obama announced his presidential candidacy in 2007, Woodson’s previously published book, The Triumphs of Joseph: How Today’s Community Healers are Reviving Our Streets and Neighborhoods, was rereleased a few months later.

The two events were unrelated, but in retrospect, they symbolized a generational divide of biblical proportions over the state and future of Black America in the twenty-first century.

On March 4, 2007, Brown Chapel A.M.E. Church hosted Obama’s first major campaign speech. This church served as the launch point for the historic Selma to Montgomery March in 1965. The remaining march participants as well as civil rights leaders were in attendance.

Obama informed the audience that his more experienced colleagues had questioned his audacity to run for president so soon; however, he got a letter of encouragement from a pastor who instructed him to inform anyone who questioned his presidential ambitions that he was a member of the Joshua generation.

In the biblical story, Moses led the enslaved Israelites out of Egypt, but he died before they reached their destination.

Moses’ successor, Joshua, led the people into the “promised land.” Obama referred to the Selma to Montgomery March participants as the “Moses generation” and stated, “Like Moses, they challenged Pharaoh and the powers that said some would be at the top while others remained at the bottom. “ Obama thanked the Moses generation but reminded them

J. Pharoah Doss

Check It Out that they did not reach their destination. That task would fall to the Joshua generation.

Obama indicated that civil rights and social justice still required ongoing battles. He said the Moses generation took us 90 percent of the way, but the Joshua generation must take us the remaining 10 percent.

Obama’s speech was praised, but it had two flaws. First, the Joshua generation’s 10 percent goal was more insurmountable than the 90 percent, and second, the Exodus story was the wrong biblical analogy.

Following the speech, no one asked Obama the obvious question: If 90 percent of civil rights battles have been won, what are the remaining 10 percent?

Whatever the answer, those battles are minuscule compared to abolishing slavery, ending segregation, and enacting the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

The idea that the Joshua generation’s mission in the twenty-first century was to remove all traces of historical racism and equalize all current racial disparities was a misguided pursuit of perfection. The inability to achieve a perfect civil rights scorecard would only lead to the conclusion that America had not progressed beyond Jim Crow and that “anti-Blackness” had worsened, which is why the Exodus account was the incorrect biblical analogy. Moses and Joshua fled Egypt to another nation, and in 2024 the following headlines appeared: Tired of Racism, Black Americans Try Life in Africa, and Black Americans are encouraged to leave the United States to avoid racism.

If Obama’s campaign team, who wrote the “Joshua Generation” speech, knew more about Black history than the Old Testament, they would have recognized that the Exodus story was applicable in

the nineteenth century but not in the twenty-first.

Martin R. Delany and Frederick Douglass were the two most prominent Black abolitionists in the 1840s, but their views on the future of Black people once slavery was abolished differed. Delany proposed that Black emigration to Africa was the sole path to prosperity, but Douglass thought Black people should remain in the only homeland they knew.

Douglass believed that Black people could thrive in America through education, economic development, and political participation.

In 1847, with the assistance of the American Colonization Society, “free people of color” from the United States immigrated to Africa and established the sovereign nation of Liberia, which translates as “the land of the free.”

Delany’s emigration plan was the Exodus story, and the Black Americans who established Liberia were the actual “Joshua Generation.” Douglass’ plan, on the other hand, had nothing to do with Moses, Joshua, or promised lands; it was similar to the biblical story of Joseph, which Woodson’s book was about.

Joseph was sold into slavery by his brothers, transported to a foreign land (Egypt), and subjected to several injustices, yet he persevered, developed his multiple skill sets, saved Egypt from famine, and rose to become one of the most powerful men in government.

Joseph finally moved his entire family to Egypt.

The biblical account concluded: In time, Joseph and his brothers died, ending that entire generation. But their descendants had many children and grandchildren. In fact, they multiplied so greatly that they became extremely powerful and filled the land.

Robert L. Woodson Sr. committed the latter years of his life to the difficult task of helping Black Americans realize that they were never the Exodus-seeking “Joshua generation” but rather the self-developing “generation after Joseph.”

Woodson once stated, “People are inspired to improve when they are presented with victories that are possible, not injuries to be avoided.”

Hopefully, the generation after Woodson will continue to build on his legacy.

The big lie is coming for us this November (TriceEdneyWire.com)—“Statistically impossible to have lost the 2020 Election.

Big protest in D.C. on January 6th. Be there, will be wild!”—President Donald J. Trump via Twitter/X on December 19, 2020 The big lie just got bigger.

Last night, we watched a sitting President declare war on America in a primetime speech that reputable media outlets chose not to air out of their journalistic responsibility to defend the truth.

In a tangential rant about voter fraud, the President bounced from one outlandish lie to the next with his focus zeroed in on the outcome of the 2020 election, an election that was certified by his own party. Unlike the 2016 election, in which he was the victor, the FBI found no evidence of meddling.

Despite lacking evidence, the President lied to millions of Americans, stating that China and other foreign adversaries “likely” influenced Americans. He stated that voting machines were vulnerable to being hacked and were unreliable, a lie that cost the one network that aired his speech unedited, Fox News, $787 million in a settlement with voting machine maker Dominion Voting Systems for pushing lies about the 2020 election.

I won’t give any of the other outrageous claims any air, but the speech was a warning to all of us that the coming midterm elections are going to be targeted by this administration.

According to CBS, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, the government’s top cyber defense body protecting U.S. election systems, nearly 1,000 CISA personnel—or nearly one-third of the agency’s workforce—had left or been removed from active service by mid-2025.

Last week, the President fired the last three members of the Election Assistance Commission, the i‌ndependent federal

Marc H. Morial

To Be Equal commission that assists election administration officials nationwide.

And in the hours leading up to the speech, his nomination for attorney general set the stage for the siege on our voting rights. During the confirmation hearing of Todd Blanche, Trump’s personal lawyer and nominee for United States Attorney General, he was boldly asked whether he would uphold the Constitutional right to vote by blocking the deployment of ICE agents to voting places. He sidestepped the question by stating that he would “follow the law.” He also avoided answering the simple question of “who won the 2020 Presidential election.”

You read that right.

Blanche, who in his role as Acting Attorney General proposed creating a $1.8B slush fund to pay criminals, including January 6th insurrectionists, refused to commit to preventing an untrained army of masked agents, who have claimed two lives in the last two weeks, from monitoring our elections.

It is unconscionable that the next person to lead the United States Department of Justice, the agency responsible for defending Americans from assaults on their personal liberties, upholding civil rights, and defending the Constitution, would propose using U.S. taxpayer dollars to compensate people for committing crimes and deny election results, but that is where we are a year and a half into this administration.

And the election denial is no coincidence.

The FBI has launched a probe into the 2020 election results in Fulton County, Georgia, sending 260 agents to check voting records in a nearly six-year-old election. An election that the President believes cost him the state of Georgia and the Presidency in 2020.

It is also no coincidence that this investigation was launched in Fulton County.

There was no doubt in the election results in Forsyth County, a locality just 30 miles north of Atlanta that once expelled all of its Black residents.

Just like the gutting of the Voting Rights Act in Louisiana v. Callais and Shelby v.

Holder, this investigation, the nomination of Todd Blanche, and this evening’s speech are a mass effort to suppress the Black vote and strip all Americans of our rights to vote for candidates who represent us and against entities determined to walk us back to a time where violence and discrimination against minorities was sanctioned under United States law.

Next week, we will be on the ground in Nashville, Tennessee, an epicenter of voter dilution and suppression. Tonight’s remarks are emboldening our coalition to strengthen the tools in our resistance against this administration and its assault on our rights.

This is not the election to sit out and be silent. This is the moment that our ancestors who were shot, maimed, and strung up on trees marched for. This is the day that John Lewis and countless people marched for on the Edmund Pettus Bridge, fighting against 61 years ago.

This is not a new fight, but a renewed call to action. So the Urban League movement is calling on your strength, your resilience, your reverence for our past, and your hopes for our future this November.

Vote as your lives depend on it, because they do.

Now is planning time for politics going forward

by Dr. John E. Warren With the Fourth of July and its 250year celebrations behind us, along with most Political Primaries, including California and the Mid Term General Elections four months away, many political entities are engaged in planning and budget preparations, most of which do not include most of us.

While a number of groups are organizing to get out the vote and to encourage voter registration, our personal efforts must focus on where we are and who each of us can personally reach. We must renew discussion groups that help a whole new generation and some of us who came before them, understand the importance of each and every vote.

We must be reminded that many people who came before us gave their lives for our right to vote. Can we allow them to have died in vain? The answer is no.

The personal decision is that “we will not”.

Now, in the month of July, while many are on vacation, we must be engaged in planning our workshops and town hall meetings. There are several groups and organizations in the community that have already scheduled such events for the month of September. This is important to know because Labor Day has become the official start of intense political activity going toward the November General Election. The San Diego Voice & Viewpoint will make its facility available to the extent possible for some com-

munity meetings, not all. We encourage other members of the Black Press to do the same in their cities where possible.

We must not lose this election because of low voter turnout due to a lack of interest and dollars to get us involved.

While dollars will help, we must not fail to act because we were waiting for someone else to fund us when we are still Buying What We Want And Not Supporting What We Need.

Please share your thoughts and interest with us so that we can inspire others.

(Dr. John E. Warren is Publisher San Diego Voice & Viewpoint Newspaper, Chairman, NNPA Board of Directors)
