Months after NFL Draft, number of Black-owned businesses selected remains a mystery Aunt Cheryl’s Cafe in Braddock was selected by the NFL

by Rob Taylor Jr. Courier Staff Writer

As of Aug. 11, 2026, almost four months after the NFL Draft in Pittsburgh, efforts by the New Pittsburgh Courier to acquire the list of Black-owned businesses that were selected by the NFL Draft Source Program have been unsuccessful. Calls and emails to the NFL have not been returned.

The NFL Draft Source Program gave minority-owned and women-owned businesses a chance to get a paid contract with the NFL in the weeks/days leading up to and including the actual Draft dates, which were April 23-25, 2026. Howev-

er, not knowing the exact number of Black businesses that were selected prior to the Draft was a point of contention for many Pittsburgh Black civil rights advocates, such as Tim Stevens of the Black Political Empowerment Project, and the NAACP Pittsburgh Branch. Some African American organizations held their own Black-owned business events during the Draft dates in the Hill District, North Side and at Emerald City, Downtown, on Smithfield Street.

On Monday, Aug. 10, 2026, VisitPITTSBURGH announced that the NFL Draft generated $177 million in economic impact for the Pittsburgh region.

It probably will never be known how much of that $177 million positively impacted Black-owned businesses in the Pittsburgh region.

Earlier this summer, VisitPITTSBURGH also announced that of the more-than 1,700 businesses that applied to be part of the NFL Draft Source Program, 164 businesses “participated” in the program, and “more than 100 local contracts were issued” during the event.

VisitPITTSBURGH said that 64 percent of the contracts were awarded to “local diverse businesses” and that 63 percent of the contracts were awarded SEE AUNT CHERYL A4

‘Dream Shots’ inspires Pittsburgh youth via photos, videos, combine

by Rob Taylor Jr. Courier Staff Writer

As it's stated on its website, “‘Dream Shots’ isn't just a name, it's a movement.”

Photos. Videos. Interviews. Awards. Mentorship.

There's a lot associated with “Dream Shots,” the company founded by Jonathan Mollett, who hasn't even turned 30 yet, but aims to uplift Pittsburgh's youth in myriad ways.

The New Pittsburgh Courier was there at the “Dream Shots” Camp For Dreamers Youth Combine, July 12, 2026, at the Gateway High School football field, Monroeville. Youth were doing the “40-yard dash,” going “one-on-one” in receiver/defender drills,

playing quarterback, and other challenges, somewhat similar to the annual NFL Combine. About 100 youth participated. It was the eighth such event put on by the Dream Shots organization. Dream Shots, as an organization, has been around for 10 years.

“Over the years we just kept growing,” said Mollett, 29, a product of Woodland Hills High School. “I just used my social media platform for kids to come.”

The Youth Combine started in Homewood, transitioned to the StoRox School District football field, and just finished its fifth year at Gateway.

Pope Leo finally addresses his Black ancestry and slavery

This Week In Black History

A Courier Staple • AUGUST 12

by Word In Black Since his election last year, Pope Leo XIV sidestepped one of the most unexpected questions to emerge from his historic election: Is the first American pope also Black?

Now, in his clearest public comments yet, the first American-born pope has acknowledged the complicated family history that spurred widespread discussions about race, identity and belonging.

Speaking to NBC News, the pontiff said his mother’s family included both enslaved people and slaveholders—a striking admission from a pope who had previously declined to publicly discuss genealogical research tracing his ancestry to New Orleans’ historic Creole community.

“On my mother’s side, we have people who were both slaves and slaveowners,” Leo said. “There’s a history of… growing up in the kind of experience that helps me to recognize myself, one of the greatest wealths of the United States.”

America’s ‘Greatest Wealths’ The pope did not describe himself as Black.

But he publicly confirmed his family’s mixed racial heritage, a fact that historians and genealogists uncovered within hours of his election. And they also reopened one of America’s oldest, thorniest conversations about race.

In a single sentence, the leader of 1.4 billion Catholics worldwide confirmed that his lineage runs through both sides of slavery’s ledger. The pope framed that history not as a statement about racial identity but as an expression of the American experience.

“I come from a family that my grandparents were immigrants,” said Leo, who grew up on the South Side of Chicago — a popular Great Migration destination. That history, the pope said, helps him to recognize the welcoming of migrants as “one of the greatest wealths of the United States.”

The remarks, made during an interview to promote the Global Concert for Peace, represent the first time Leo has personally addressed the ancestry that first came to light after his election in 2025. It was first revealed through research led by New Orleans genealogist Jari Honora and later expanded by Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. Creole Roots Those investigations found that Leo’s maternal grandparents, Joseph Martinez and Louise Baquié, were identified in historical records as Black and lived in New Orleans’ Seventh Ward, one of the nation’s oldest centers of Creole and Black Catholic life.

Gates’ subsequent family tree identified at least 17 ancestors described in records as Black, Creole, mixed-race or free people of color. But it also documented ancestors who owned enslaved people.

The findings immediately triggered celebration, skepticism and soul-searching.

Pope Leo’s official Vatican biography made no mention of his African American heritage. His brother, John Prevost, emphasized that the family does not currently identify as Black. Leo himself remained silent, allowing speculation to flourish while refusing to define himself through America’s racial categories.

That silence made Wednesday’s comments notable. Rather than embracing or rejecting a racial label, Leo acknowledged the historical facts while placing them inside a broader American narrative of immigration, diversity and shared history.

No ‘One Drop Rule’ That approach echoes what many scholars argued from the beginning.

Shortly after Leo was elected, both Boston University sociologist Phillipe Copeland and writer and filmmaker Fanshen Cox DiGiovanni told Word In Black that Blackness goes beyond the so-called “one drop rule.”

Copeland said Leo’s ancestry forces Americans to reconsider assumptions usually taken for granted while grappling with the question of how Blackness is defined. DNA alone doesn’t always cut it, he said: “Is having a Black ancestor sufficient? Is it perception from others? Is it how you self-identify?”

Cox Giovanni, on the other hand, said Black identity is defined more by culture than skin color.

“There’s no blood test that can tell you,” she said. “The way you receive it is by your community, by your parents, by your family, by the stories they tell.”

Leo’s remarks neither resolve nor avoid that distinction. He did not say he identifies as Black, but he also did not deny his Black ancestry. Instead, he acknowledged a family history shaped by both oppression and privilege, reflecting the tangled reality of American history itself.

Oppressor and Victim The timing is especially significant because Leo has already demonstrated a willingness to confront slavery’s legacy inside the Catholic Church.

Earlier this year, he issued the Vatican’s most direct apology for its historic role in legitimizing slavery, calling the church’s record “a wound in Christian memory” and asking forgiveness for centuries of complicity. His acknowledgment of his own family’s connection to slavery now gives that apology an unmistakably personal dimension.

1890—This is generally considered the day that the systematic and nominally legal exclusion of Blacks from the political life of the South began. It was the day that the Mississippi Constitutional Convention began. Barred by the 14th and 15th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution from excluding Blacks by race, the convention instead adopted a host of strategies including literacy or so-called “Education Tests” specifically designed to prevent Blacks from voting. The tests required reading and interpreting the Constitution. Blacks would be given difficult passages to interpret while Whites were either exempted or given easy passages. Soon, most Southern states adopted the so-called Mississippi Plan to exclude Blacks from voting. The racist plan was effective. In one Mississippi County, for example, there were 30,000 Blacks but only 175 were eligible to vote. Most aspects of the Mississippi Plan were not overturned until the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s.

1922—Ophelia Devore Mitchell—the founding mother of African American modeling—is born on this day in Edgefield, S.C. Her family would move to New York during the 1930s, where she entered the Vogue School of Modeling at 17. She excelled at modeling, as well as in academics mastering Latin, German and French. She modeled professionally for several years before opening her own modeling school in 1946. Her aim was to overcome stereotypes and negative portrayals of Black women. She wrote a fashion column for the Pittsburgh Courier, started her own line of cosmetics and eventually helped found the Columbus Times newspaper in Georgia. In 2004 she was honored by the Fashion Institute of Technology and Fashion Arts Xchange, Inc. for her lifetime contributions to the fashion and entertainment industries.

1881—The first African American nursing school opens at Spelman College in Atlanta, Ga. 1892—The Afro-American newspaper is founded. The first edition is published in Baltimore, Md., by John H. Murphy Sr. At its height, the newspaper chain would publish papers in Baltimore, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Richmond, Virginia and Newark, N.J. It continues to publish today in Baltimore and Washington, D.C. 1906—The “Brownsville Affair” takes place. Angry Black soldiers, who had been subjected to intense racial discrimination and insults, are accused of sneaking into Brownsville, Texas, and killing a local White bartender and wounding a police officer. Although the evidence was weak, President Theodore Roosevelt sided with Brownsville Whites and ordered 167 of the Black soldiers dishonorably discharged for a “conspiracy of silence” because they either denied involvement in the shootings or refused to say who was involved. However, 66 years later (as a result of the findings of a book) the Army opened a new investigation which cleared the accused soldiers and reversed the 1906 dishonorably discharges.

1862—President Abraham Lincoln (for the first time) meets with a group of prominent Blacks to discuss the Civil War and public policy. But before the meeting was over, he would anger those gathered. Although an outspoken opponent of the expansion of slavery, Lincoln suggested that it would be best for America and Blacks if African Americans were to emigrate to Africa or Central America. Nevertheless, a Littlemore than a month later on Sept. 22 he would issue the Emancipation Proclamation technically freeing all slaves in the rebellious Southern states.

1883—Ernest E. Just is born in Charleston, S.C. Just would become one of the nation’s most prominent biologists conducting

1975—In another of those highly publicized “trials of the century,” which frequently grip national attention, 20-year-old Joan Little is found not guilty of murder after she stabbed a White jailer who had entered her cell in Beaufort County, N.C., to sexually assault her. The trial had been moved to Raleigh because of widespread racial prejudice in the Eastern North Carolina area where the incident actually took place.

1979—President Jimmy Carter forces the resignation of United Nations Ambassador Andrew Young after he angered Jewish groups by meeting with representatives of the Palestine Liberation Organization. The resignation created stormy relations between Blacks and the generally uncompromising pro-Israel lobby in the United States.

1922—Author and investigative reporter Louis E. Lomax is born in Valdosta, Ga. Little is known today, but in the 1960s Lomax was one of the most prominent Black journalists in America. He was renowned for his coverage of the Civil Rights Movement and his investigative reporting. He died mysteriously in an automobile accident near Santa Rosa, N.M., on July 30, 1970. One urban legend is that his car was forced off the road by persons working for the FBI because he was completing a book which would show that the assassination of civil rights icon Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was part of a government plot. This urban legend is often repeated, but there has been little concrete evidence offered to support it. Lomax’ best known books are “Negro Revolt” and “To Kill a Black Man.” 1887—Black separatist and Pan-Africanist Marcus Garvey is born on this day in St. Ann’s Bay, Jamaica. Garvey advocated Black pride and the building of Black institutions. He founded the Universal Negro Improvement Association in 1914 and with amazingly rapid speed built it into the largest independent Black organization in history with 1,100 branches in more than 40 countries. He came to the U.S. in 1916 and the FBI began keeping a file on him in 1919. By 1923 he was indicted on what many considered trumped up mail fraud charges and eventually deported from his U.S. base in 1927. Garvey would die in England on June 10, 1940. But years before his death, he predicted his return, writing, “Look for me in the whirlwind or the storm, look for me all around you, with God’s grace, I shall come and bring with me countless millions…to aid you in the fight for liberty, freedom and life.”

1964—White-ruled South Africa is officially banned from competing in the Olympics because of its system of racial oppression known as Apartheid. The country’s Black majority would not achieve democratic rule, however, until May 1994 when the Nelson Mandela-led African National Congress won more than twothirds of the vote in the country’s first free elections.

Months after NFL Draft, number of Black-owned businesses selected remains a mystery

to “Draft Source Program members,” which were primarily minority-owned and woman-owned businesses.

The Courier has not been able to determine how many of the minority businesses awarded paid contracts by the NFL were Black-owned businesses, but Cheryl Johnson, founder and longtime owner of Aunt Cheryl’s Cafe in Braddock, proudly told the Courier that she was one of the Black-owned businesses granted a paid contract by the NFL. But she told the Courier it wasn’t easy to get selected.

Johnson said she was in a meeting with former Pittsburgh Mayor Ed Gainey back in January 2025 about the fact that businesses should be preparing for the NFL Draft coming to Pittsburgh. When the NFL Draft Source Program announced it was taking applications in the spring of 2025,

Johnson jumped at the opportunity. Her business was one of the 164 businesses that made the cut from the original 1,700 that applied.

“They told you to promote yourself,” Johnson told the Courier in an exclusive interview inside her restaurant on Library Street in Braddock, July 3. “We went to every Zoom meeting, we didn’t miss an email, didn’t miss a phone call, and every (in-person) meeting we went to, we took our sweet potato pies,” she said.

Johnson said the NFL Draft Source Program leadership wasn’t playing around. Businesses still had to cross their Ts, dot their Is, and do whatever was needed by the NFL to get the paid contracts.

Representative Abigail Salisbury, of the state’s 34th House District, which includes Braddock, later invited Johnson to a private meeting that, for the most part, involved White men involved in the NFL Draft.

“I was the only Black person in the room,” Johnson recalled. “I introduced myself and said, ‘I’m Aunt Cheryl with Aunt Cheryl’s Cafe.

We make the best sweet potato pie in Pittsburgh.

I didn’t say it, Yelp said it.’”

That comment had people laughing in a good way, she said, and then she presented her sweet potato pie to Jared Bachar, the president and CEO of VisitPITTSBURGH. With only a few weeks left until the NFL Draft in Pittsburgh, Johnson said her persistence paid off. The NFL Draft Source representatives contacted her and asked if she could provide box lunches to the construction workers who were building the stage and other structures on the North Shore for the Draft. Johnson obliged, and she told the Courier she was paid “a reasonable” amount of money to provide 500-600 box lunches that she and other Aunt Cheryl’s Cafe employees delivered to two hotels, one of which was the Wyndham Grand, Downtown.

Apparently, the NFL was impressed with Aunt Cheryl’s Cafe. A week later, they called Johnson and said her business had been selected to participate in the “Taste of the NFL Draft,” which was to occur on Wednesday, April 22, 2026, the day before the Draft, at The Tower at PNC Plaza, Downtown. The NFL paid her business a flat fee to come to the event, and provide her famous sweet potato pies and other fixings at no cost to the event attendees.

The “Taste of the NFL Draft,” according to reports, had a price tag of no less than $500 per person to attend, but it was for a good cause; raising money for GENYOUth, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to helping schoolchildren live well-nourished and physically active lives.

Look around the “Taste of the NFL Draft” in Pittsburgh, April 22, and there was very little “Black-owned business” inclusion. No problem for Johnson. The retired social worker who also is a University of Pittsburgh graduate said she “belonged” at the event, in that atmosphere.

“I worked my way to be there,” Johnson told the

Courier. “I felt I earned it, I didn’t feel I was a token.”

While there were food choices everywhere during the “Taste,” Aunt Cheryl’s Cafe’s sweet potato pies were one of the standout food products of the evening. Former Pittsburgh Steelers like Maurkice Pouncey and “Fast” Willie Parker grabbed some of Johnson’s sweet potato pies, while also taking pictures with Johnson.

Being selected by the NFL in its Draft Source program was “100 percent” worth it, Johnson told the Courier exclusively. “I’ve been a Steelers fan since I was

7 years old. I’ve been to Super Bowl parades, games, even had a kiosk selling my food” at the stadium in the ‘90s, Johnson said.

“I’ve fed everybody (over the years),” Johnson said. “You name somebody, and I guarantee, I’ve fed them.”

“I’m Aunt Cheryl with Aunt Cheryl’s Cafe. We make the best sweet potato pie in Pittsburgh. I didn’t say it, Yelp said it.”

Public Hearings & Comment Period for Proposed Bus Line Refresh Major Service Changes.

Port Authority of Allegheny County d/b/a Pittsburgh Regional Transit (PRT) provides public transportation services within and for Allegheny County pursuant to the Second Class County Port Authority Act, as amended.

Bus Line Refresh (BLR) is an update to PRT’s bus network that reflects how people travel today while building on what already works. Rather than a major overhaul, BLR focuses on improving reliability, frequency, seven-day service, and connectivity throughout the network.

BLR was identified as a top priority for the agency in PRT’s 2021 long-range plan, NEXTransit. The project began in the fall of 2023 with two initial phases including review of existing conditions, travel market analysis, and public and stakeholder input to shape the project’s goals and outcomes. The next two phases involved an iterative process built upon public, stakeholder and internal feedback, including network development on a first draft, then robust public engagement, network development on a second draft, followed by another comprehensive series of public engagement events in March, April and May 2026, and finally network development to refine the proposed final BLR draft plan (BLR Proposed Final Plan).

The BLR Proposed Final Plan includes changes that are designed to: • Improve service quality and reliability by streamlining routes, making routes more direct, and improving on-time performance; • Prioritize equitable service by aligning routes with land use and socio-economic changes since our network was created, better serving transit-dependent and vulnerable riders; and • Expand transit connections to major job centers, healthcare facilities, shopping centers, and between neighborhoods.

The BLR Proposed Final Plan would significantly modify 56 routes, create 14 new routes, and discontinue 20 routes that are underperforming to create a network that best serves riders today. A total of 90 routes are impacted by a major service change, which applicable PRT policy defines as a change that affects more than 30% of a route’s daily trips, directional miles or service hours, or affects more than 2,500 annual service miles on a route and can also include the addition of a service day to a route. The total number of routes in PRT’s bus network would be reduced from 95 to 87.

The BLR Proposed Final Plan would also establish a frequent network of 19 bus routes that operate at 20-minute or better frequency during weekday peak hours throughout Allegheny County in addition to many corridors where multiple routes in aggregate will result in similar or better frequencies elsewhere. Improvements to the design and efficiency of the bus network will allow an increase in weekday, Saturday, and Sunday service hours.

This proposal is limited only to PRT’s fixed route bus service. It is not proposing any changes to PRT’s light rail or incline services or the PRT-sponsored ACCESS paratransit system.

A summary of the proposed BLR major service changes is provided below, and additional information is available on PRT’s website at: www.BusLineRefresh.com.

AHN Young Scholars Program first-aid workshop Now in its third year, the 2026 AHN Young Scholars Program is a five-week summer program for 30 middle and high school students in the Pittsburgh region.

The program gives students early, real-world exposure to health care careers through handson learning, mentorship, and experiences across clinical and corporate settings. The program is already showing measurable results, with past participants demonstrating statistically significant learning gains. The first-aid workshop was held, June 26, 2026, at AHN West Penn Hospital.

Reverend A. Marie Walker’s

Weekly Inspiration “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.”

- Philippians 4:6-7 NIV REV. WALKER SAYS: I’m going to answer the above Scripture with this Scripture. 1Peter 5:6-7 NIV—Humble yourselves, therefore under God’s mighty hand, that He may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you. Pray about everything by tossing these worries to Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, He can handle them.

The wide, wide world of sports!

And who messed up KFC's chicken? :10—Legendary Boston Celtics player and coach Don Nelson passed away on Sunday, Aug. 9, at the age of 86. Nelson won five titles with Boston and went on to become the second-winningest coach in NBA history. :09—Your Pittsburgh Steelers get things started for the 2026 season with an opening preseason game against the Green Bay Packers on Thursday, Aug. 13. The game will be at home at Acrisure Stadium. Kickoff will be at 7 p.m. Of course not much to see here, but keep in mind the Packers are a legitimate Super Bowl contender. :08—That being said, it certainly is assumed by most, if not all, that the preseason games are meaningless...not so, kind sir. Just ask the rookies

and the traveling bodies for hire how important the preseason is when you’re trying to make the

team. :07—I’ll tell you this now, like I said before.

The Steelers will win 12 games this year, and here’s why. #1. New coach, love him or not, it was time for Coach Tomlin to move into the announcer booth. His first ballot Hall of Fame induction career ended on a good/OK note. #2. The offensive line is

reset and ready to go. #3.

The wide receiver position is greatly improved...they actually have more than one receiver now! #4. At long last we have a new offensive and defensive coordinators—long, long, long overdue. (By the way, no one seems to talk about the importance of new coaches and the coordinator positions; it may prove to be the most important changes on the team.) :06—Your Pittsburgh Pirates aren’t through...but whatever comes right before though...that’s where they’re at! With 40 regular season games to play, they will need to win 6267 percent of the games to make the playoffs. That, boys and girls, just ain’t gonna happen! :05—Just my opinion, not the Courier’s, and I ain’t too proud to beg...

but if you’re born a boy, I say you play with boys.

Likewise with girls. Not that they all don’t have a right to live their lives as they choose. But a 6'6", 280-pound man should not be allowed to beat up on girls. Period, end of my story. :04—Hey, this has nothing to do with nothing, but humor me with this survey. If you’ve been to KFC recently, text me at 412902-5761 and tell me if Colonel Sanders wouldn’t turn over in his grave. He knows how they’ve jacked up his chicken. It’s so bad that poor Black folks won’t eat it, and I am one of those, so I know! Ha.... ha....ha! :03—About that Michael Jordan, LeBron James who is the G.O.A.T. argument, here’s this. Only four people in the history

of the world have done the following: #1. Led the league in scoring for the regular season; #2. Made first-team all defense; #3.

Won six NBA titles; #4.

Named league MVP; and #5. Named tournament MVP each year of his championship run. Here they are: Michael Jordan, Michael Jordan, Michael Jordan, and Michael Jordan. Game over!!! :02—As you get ready for the Steeler kickoff, keep the following football teams on your radar: Pitt Panthers, Duquesne Dukes, Robert Morris Colonials...all Western Pa. and City League H.S. teams, and be reminded that college and high school hoops are just around the corner. And I would give you my scoop on the Pens, but as you know, I don’t know a thing

about them...but I am working on it! :01—Don’t forget the Connie Hawkins Summer League Reunion party on Saturday, Aug. 15, 5-9 p.m. at Noblemen’s Lounge in Penn Hills with special guest David “Dr. Death” Trent and sharpshooter Tim Appleton. Call 412902-5761 for info. :00-00—Double Overtime: While most people think the WNBA is driving itself to self-annihilation, nothing could be further from the truth. Every league in every sport needs to have villains and the WNBA players refuse to not be part of that circus, as evidenced by their senseless on the court criminal behavior...more news at 11. :00—GAME OVER.

What’s in a name?

Nicknames are common in sports I have been covering sports since the beard of Santa Claus was jet black.

However, during that time, I have not been a knockdown, dragged-out fan of nicknames. But after watching D.K. Metcalf and Darnell Washington at Latrobe, I stand corrected.

After a recent Steelers workout, I experienced a long-awaited epiphany.

How could I create and attach a name to a few players that could create a camaraderie between multi-levels of the Black and Gold faithful?

I ran into Steelers allworld wide receiver D.K. Metcalf in the cafeteria after practice one afternoon and I asked him if he had a minute. He came over and I said, “DK, as I watched you participate in practice, the name zip code came to mind, you’re a big boy.” He said: “Yeah but it’s better if you call me area code, because Darnell (Washington) should be called zip code.”

After I thought about it, he was right. D.K. Metcalf covers a lot of area. Darnell Washington is a lot of area to cover.

Metcalf is the 411 and

911 for the Steelers. He represents a source of information and stability on the field when the going gets tough. He also creates camaraderie and inspiration with veteran players and a source of mentorship for younger players off the field.

Metcalf is a vital component of the GPS that

may possibly help guide the Steelers players and fans to the promised land to compete for Super Bowl LXI on February 14, 2027, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, where a sweet victory by the Steelers on Valentines Day 2027 might truly end up like a box of chocolates.

However, leading up to the NFL Championship, it will be up to Metcalf and his fellow Steelers veterans to provide and utilize information and increase their production and the quality of their perfor-

mance as they strive to maintain a dynamic offense during the 2026 season.

The zip code of the Pittsburgh neighborhood Mount Washington is 15211. The human equivalent of a “neighborhood” is Steelers tight end Darnell Washington, aka “Mt. Washington.” He is officially listed at 6 feet 7 inches and 264 pounds.

However, Washington has publicly revealed that his actual weight is closer to 311 pounds, though he has also mentioned losing 10–15 pounds in the offseason, meaning he was nearly 330 pounds at one point. Darnell Washington is truly a mountain of a man. That is why he should justifiably be assigned his own zip code.

I am going to provide information about the near impossibility of one or two defensive players to contain or oftentimes stop Darnell Washington.

Pay attention. Once “Mt. Washington” gets on a roll, a “landslide of flesh” may occur at any moment, smothering everyone and everything in his path.

Trying to get past a block from him on the offensive

line...well, let’s put it this way: you’d have a better chance of surviving a jog through hell sporting gasoline underwear.

If the Steelers would only open up their playbook and allow him to shine, I can almost guarantee that Darnell Washington will certainly reign as the resident NFL “terror from the red zone lagoon” in 2026. Take my word for it, ladies and gentlemen. To get the maximum value out of “Mt. Washington,” the Steelers Head Coach Mike McCarthy would be well advised to increase the use of his massive tight end. Don’t forget, speed and strength along with good hands generally equal touchdowns or at least first downs. The Steelers offense must stop forcing the ball to tight end Pat Friermuth and some of the Steelers other underperformers as well on fourth and one, just to hear the Steeler Nation chant: “muth, muth.”

Nicknames also have a way of oftentimes removing the formality between fans and players and serve to help create a more personal connection.

There are times when

nicknames are given to players before they begin their NFL careers.

Take the NFL Hall-ofFame defensive tackle Joe Greene. Greene got his famous nickname “Mean Joe” during his college football days. Back then, he played for the North Texas State team, whose defense was known as the “Mean Green.” So his mean streak was part of his persona early in his career.

Greene’s fellow NFL Hall of Famer Donnie Shell earned the nickname, “The Torpedo,” because of his closing speed and aggressive, explosive style of play as a strong safety. The moniker reflected his ability to launch himself at opponents with the ball, often making spectacular hits and interceptions. This reputation was matched by his durability and impact on the field. Don’t believe me? Former Houston Oilers running back Earl Campbell tenderized the ribs of Shell so thoroughly, all that was missing was the grill, charcoal and charcoal starter.

L.C. Greenwood earned the nickname, “Hollywood

Bags,” because he always claimed that he always kept his bags packed because he was always ready for prime time, and Hollywood whenever he was called upon to make a big play because he was always prepared to step into the spotlight. He was always ready to shine whether it was night or day.

However, this last nickname is not funny in the least. The nickname “Booger” was attached to football player and broadcaster Anthony McFarland. According to Mr. McFarland, this name goes back to his childhood.

“Booger” said the nickname came from his mother, and it just stuck with him ever since he was a kid and found its way into his football career and became part of his public persona. What the heck was mom thinking? Did he have a snotty nose all the time or have boogers visibly stuck in his nose?

Oh well, zip code yeah, area code yeah, Mean Joe, yep, the torpedo, uh huh.

But Booger, nah, doesn’t work for me.

Property is Power!

The next civil rights movement is ownership Every generation of Black Americans has fought for access. Access to schools. Access to neighborhoods. Access to the ballot box. Access to capital.

Access to jobs that were once legally and socially out of reach. Those victories mattered. They changed lives, opened doors, and expanded opportunities in ways our grandparents could scarcely imagine.

But history has quietly revealed a difficult truth; access alone does not create wealth, ownership does. That distinction may define the next chapter of Black America. For much of our history, the struggle was to get into the room. The next struggle is making sure we own part of the building.

Ownership changes the conversation because

ANTHONY O. KELLUM it changes the balance sheet. A paycheck can improve your lifestyle; ownership improves your legacy; income pays bills; assets build freedom. One generation can work hard for 30 years and retire with memories. Another generation can spend those same 30 years accumulating property, businesses, investments, and land that continue producing wealth long after they are gone.

This is why Property is Power has never simply been about buying houses. It is about changing how we think about wealth itself.

The Federal Reserve’s Survey of Consumer Finances has consistently shown that the median wealth of homeowners is many times greater than that of renters. The reason is not mysterious.

A mortgage payment slowly converts into equity.

Appreciation compounds over decades. Properties can generate rental income. Equity can finance businesses, educate children, or become the down payment for another investment assets begin producing assets… That is how wealth behaves.

Yet Black America still owns less of the nation’s appreciating assets than it should. Homeownership among Black households remains significantly below that of White households, despite decades of progress. The gap is not merely about housing. It is about participation in the single largest source of wealth creation for most American families.

Too often, our financial conversations center on earning more instead of owning more. We celebrate promotions while overlooking acquisitions.

We applaud higher salaries while ignoring balance sheets. We spend years mastering professions without mastering assets. Imagine if that changed.

Imagine if only one-half of one percent of Black Americans made a deliberate decision over the next decade to purchase one additional appreSEE PROPERTY IS POWER B2

What banking actually means for young people

by Jasmine McBride JPMorgan Chase Youth Financial Education Series

This installment of MSR’s Youth Financial Education Series, sponsored by JPMorgan Chase, follows Hannah D. Williams as she describes learning to use bank accounts strategically after getting her first job at 15. With guidance from Game Time Budgeting founder Al Riddick, Williams developed habits around highyield savings, credit card caution and fraud protection. The piece argues greater financial literacy within the Black community can help families build wealth over time.

The Youth Financial Education Series continues this month with a look at banking basics: how young people can move beyond thinking of a bank as just a place to store cash, and start using accounts strategically to build savings and long-term security.

The First Paycheck Pivot For many young people, a first paycheck is the moment banking stops being abstract. That was true for Hannah D. Williams.

Before she learned more about banking, she thought of it simply as a place to keep money. Growing up, she mainly carried cash and paid for things that way. When she received money as a gift, it usually came as cash or a check that her parents would cash and hand over a few days later.

Building a High-Yield Savings Habit That changed at 15, when Williams got her first job and was required to have a bank account for direct deposit. Having her own account for the first time gave her a closer view of her own money, and with that came a realization about her own spending habits.

“I realized that if I could easily see all of my money in my checking account, I would be more likely to spend it,” she said.

In response, she developed the habit of moving a large portion of her paycheck into a high-yield savings account, a type of account that pays a significantly higher interest rate than a standard savings account, letting money grow faster simply by sitting untouched.

She said the habit has helped her save consistently and think about long-term financial goals rather than spending everything she earns.

Generational Wealth as a Family Project Williams credits her work with Game Time Budgeting and its founder, whom she calls Mr. Al, with helping her understand how to make her money work for her instead of simply sitting in an account.

Keeping funds in a high-yield savings account lets her earn interest while doing very little, she said. Mr. Al has also taught her, her parents and her younger sister about investing and building wealth over time, and the family now looks for opportunities to invest together, treating it as a shared, ongoing project rather than something only adults handle.

A FIRST PAYCHECK at 15 taught Hannah D. Williams more about money than she expected. Credit: Yan Krukau Smart Spending and Security in a Tap-to-Pay World Today, Williams keeps the majority of her money in a high-yield savings account so it can keep earning interest while she saves for future goals, and intentionally keeps a smaller amount in checking. She said that’s for two reasons: it limits how much she can spend on impulse, and it adds a layer of security.

With tap-to-pay accepted almost everywhere, she said a stolen card could be used quickly before she noticed, so keeping most of her money in savings reduces how much she could lose in that scenario. She also keeps notifications turned on for every card transaction, including tap-

to-pay, so she knows immediately if something looks wrong.

Credit Isn’t Free Cash: Why Management Comes First On credit cards, Williams is direct: eligibility alone isn’t a good enough reason to get one. Many young adults are still learning how to manage and save their own money responsibly, she said, and if someone struggles with that, repaying borrowed money on time can be even harder.

She said learning strong budgeting and saving habits first reduces the need to rely on credit in the first place. Used responsibly, she said, a credit card can be a valuable finanSEE BANKING B2

Don’t leave your legacy to the state: You built It—now protect it We spend a lot of time talking about building generational wealth.

Buy the house. Save money. Invest in the 401(k). Fund the Roth IRA. Get life insurance. Start a business. Pay down debt. Build assets. Leave your children and grandchildren better financially than you started.

But there’s another side of wealth building we don’t discuss nearly enough: What happens to everything you built when you die?

According to Caring.com’s 2025 Wills and Estate Planning Study, only 24 percent of American adults reported having a will. Translation: roughly three out of four adults don’t have one.

That’s mind-blowing!

We’re constantly talking about generational wealth while many families haven’t completed the paperwork necessary to successfully transfer that wealth.

And one of the biggest reasons? “I’ll get around to it.” Some never do.

Building Wealth Is Only Half the Assignment Here’s how I want you to think about wealth: BUILD IT. PROTECT IT. TRANSFER IT.

Those are three different jobs.

You can spend 30 or 40 years building assets and still leave your family with confusion, arguments, legal expenses and court proceedings because you never finished your estate plan.

People commonly say, “If you die without a will, the state gets everything.”

That’s not exactly true.

When someone dies without a valid will, they die intestate. State intestacy laws generally determine how probate property is distributed among surviving relatives.

Translation: You didn’t make the plan, so state law supplies one for you.

The government doesn’t normally scoop up everything you own. But state law determines the pecking order.

The law doesn’t know your family dynamics. It doesn’t know who cared for you. It doesn’t know about the grand-

child you raised, your longtime unmarried partner or what you verbally promised someone. The law follows the law. Your intentions need to be documented.

A Will Is the Floor—Not the Ceiling Another misconception is: “I got a will. I’m good.” Not necessarily.

A will is important, but it does not automatically avoid probate. It generally provides instructions for how probate assets should be handled.

Certain assets can transfer outside your will entirely.

Retirement accounts, life insurance and some bank and investment accounts can pass according to their beneficiary designations.

Imagine getting divorced, remarrying years later and forgetting your former spouse is still listed on an old retirement account or insurance policy. Now we’ve

got a mess! That’s why estate planning isn’t simply a document.

It’s a system.

Your will, beneficiaries, account ownership, powers of attorney, insurance and any trusts should work together.

Estate Planning Ain’t Just for Rich People Some people hear “estate planning” and picture somebody with $20 million, three vacation homes and a yacht. Stop it!

If you own a home, have retirement money, life insurance, a business, children, grandchildren, bank accounts or simply care about who handles your affairs if you become incapacitated— YOU HAVE AN ESTATE. For most families, estate planning isn’t primarily about avoiding federal estate taxes. It’s about control and protection.

Who gets your assets?

Who manages your finances if you can’t?

Who makes health care decisions if you cannot speak for yourself?

Who cares for your minor children?

What banking actually means for young people BANKING FROM B1

cial tool, but it should come after good money management habits are already in place, not before.

Why Early Financial Literacy Matters for Black Families Williams said greater financial literacy within the Black community could have a tremendous impact. People often assume others are simply “richer,” she said, when in reality they may just be saving, investing and planning differently with the money they have.

Building those habits early, she said, creates more opportunities for families to build wealth, travel, invest, own businesses and reach long-term financial security. It also helps people understand that wealth building takes patience and time, and doesn’t happen overnight, and

that the earlier those habits form, the more time they have to compound.

Williams closed with two sayings her mother used to repeat, ones she said have stuck with her well beyond banking: “The 7 Ps: Proper planning prevents poor performance,” and “Sometimes it is not a no; it is a not right now.”

Marcia Davis explains why business owners shouldn’t do their own books

by BlackPressUSA Newswire ROLLING OUT—Running a profitable restaurant is not only about food and service. For Marcia Davis, co-owner of ESCO Restaurants and Tapas in Marietta, it also comes down to a habit many owners skip: checking the books closely and often.

A costly account everyone forgot Davis said one of the biggest threats to a business is not a slow month or a difficult customer. It is money quietly leaving an account without anyone noticing. She described signing up for a program, then canceling it, expecting the charges to stop.

“For one year, these people were taking out $600 from that account, which added up to almost $8,000 at the end of the year,” she said. “We didn’t even have their service.”

The charge blended in with other recurring payments, which is exactly why it went unnoticed for so long. “It looked exactly like another deduction that was coming out,” Davis said. “So it was assumed to be something else the whole time.”

By the time she and her husband caught it, they had to fight to get the money back.

Why owners should not do their own books

Davis said the fix is not complicated, but it does require stepping back from a task many owners insist on handling themselves. “You are not a bookkeeper,” she said. “That is not your job.”

Her advice is to bring in a second set of eyes, someone whose only role is to review the books on a regular basis and confirm no money is missing or being overspent.

She treats it as a standing part of running the business rather than an occasional check.

“We audit our books every couple months,” Davis said, adding that even careful owners can miss something without a set system in place.

She pointed to smaller, more familiar examples too, the kind many people overlook in their own lives. Davis said she once found five separate Netflix charges pulling from the same account. “We’re signing up for new ones, and they’re steadily taking it out,” she said.

Rent, taxes and the real cost of running a restaurant Auditing is only part of the picture.

Davis said rent itself carries hidden weight that customers rarely think about. Many commercial leases are structured as triple net leases, meaning the tenant, not the landlord, covers property taxes and other building fees on top of rent.

“You have to pay the landlord’s taxes and all of that stuff as well,” Davis said. She estimated that arrangement alone can add roughly $2,000 a month to a lease, on top of costs that already run into the tens of thousands depending on location.

That gap, she said, is part of why prices vary so much between cities and suburbs, and why a dish that costs less nearby is not necessarily a sign of being overcharged elsewhere.

Keeping ESCO Marietta on stable ground Davis said the same discipline that catches missing money also protects the restaurant from bigger financial strain down the line. Missing a single month of rent on a $30,000 lease, she said, can snowball fast once an owner falls behind.

For Davis, the answer is not cutting corners. It is staying close enough to the numbers that nothing slips through unnoticed, whether that is a landlord’s tax bill folded into rent or a subscription charge nobody remembers approving.

It is a lesson, she said, that applies far beyond one restaurant. “That happens to people all the time,” Davis said, pointing to how easily larger sums can disappear once accounts scale up. “You have to make sure that you are making sure that those two companies align up.”

One-half of one percent sounds insignificant. It is not.

With roughly 48 million Black Americans in the United States, one-half of one percent represents approximately 240,000 people. If each acquired just one income-producing property averaging only a modest value, the cumulative transfer into Black-owned appreciating assets would represent tens of billions of dollars. More importantly, those properties would continue producing value year after year through appreciation, rental income, refinancing opportunities, and inheritance.

The economic ripple effects would be profound.

Property ownership creates demand for contractors, architects, accountants, surveyors, insurance professionals, prop-

erty managers, attorneys, lenders, title companies, and local small businesses.

It stabilizes neighborhoods by increasing long-term investment, it expands municipal tax bases that support schools and infrastructure, it creates employment while simultaneously building equity.

Ownership is one of the few economic activities that strengthens both the individual and the surrounding community.

This is why real estate should never be viewed merely as shelter. It is infrastructure for generational wealth.

Land deserves renewed attention as well. Throughout history, land has quietly appreciated while governments changed, economies expanded and contracted, and currencies fluctuated. They call it “real property” for a reason. It is tangible, it cannot disappear because of a software update or market headline.

While every investment carries risk, productive land and strategically located real estate remain among the foundational assets upon which nations and families alike have built lasting wealth.

That does not mean every property is a good investment.

It means every generation should un-

derstand how property works.

Financial literacy without ownership is incomplete.

Higher education without asset accumulation is incomplete.

Professional success without wealth transfer planning is incomplete.

Our conversation must evolve beyond becoming consumers in prosperous communities. We must become stakeholders in them. The inheritance economy is already underway. Over the coming decades, America will experience one of the largest intergenerational transfers of wealth in its history. Trillions of dollars in real estate, businesses, retirement accounts, and investments will move from one generation to the next. The defining question is not whether wealth will transfer, it absolutely will. The question is whether Black families will increasingly participate as both creators and recipients of those appreciating assets.

Ownership determines who begins each generation with options instead of obligations. That requires a cultural shift.

We should celebrate the young physician who purchases an investment property before buying a luxury automobile. We

should applaud the entrepreneur who acquires the building housing the business instead of leasing indefinitely. We should encourage parents and grandparents to discuss wills, trusts, deeds, and succession planning as naturally as they discuss college admissions.

Political administrations will change, economic cycles will rise and fall, interest rates will increase and decrease, markets will experience uncertainty. But families who own appreciating assets possess something that survives headlines and election cycles. They own leverage, they own options and they own legacy.

That is why Property is Power! is not simply a slogan.

It is an economic philosophy.

The future of Black wealth will not be determined solely by how much we earn.

It will be determined by what we own, what we preserve, and what we intentionally pass forward. That is how economic history is rewritten.

Don’t leave your legacy to the state DAMON CARR FROM B1

Where are your important documents?

Those questions matter whether your net worth is $50,000 or $5 million.

We’re Talking About Trillions This is becoming increasingly important because America is experiencing one of the largest intergenerational wealth transfers in history.

Cerulli Associates estimates approximately $124 TRILLION will transfer through 2048, with about $105 trillion expected to eventually pass to heirs and roughly $18 trillion to charities.

That’s houses, land, businesses, retirement accounts, investments, cash and insurance proceeds.

The question isn’t simply how much wealth will transfer. It’s how much will successfully reach the intended people?

Generational wealth isn’t just about accumulating assets. It’s about successfully transferring them.

This Hits Black Families Differently The estate-planning gap deserves particular attention in the Black community.

It’s worse in our community. Consumer Reports found 77 percent of Black adults and 82 percent of Hispanic adults have no will, compared to 61 percent of White adults.

That matters because real estate has historically been a major source of family wealth.

When property passes through generations without clear planning, families can end up with heirs’ property—real estate collectively owned by multiple descendants.

Now several children, grandchildren and cousins own fractional interests.

One wants Grandma’s house.

Another wants cash.

Someone isn’t paying taxes.

Another relative can’t be found.

What was supposed to represent generational wealth becomes a generational headache.

Ownership without an orderly transfer plan can become fragile ownership.

Your Estate Plan Needs More Than a Will Most adults should consider several pieces of estate planning.

A properly executed will identifies beneficiaries, names someone to administer your estate and allows parents to nominate guardians for minor children.

A durable financial power of attorney identifies someone who can manage financial affairs if you become

incapacitated.

Health care directives and medical powers of attorney document your wishes and identify who can make medical decisions when you cannot.

Then review your beneficiary designations.

Check your 401(k).

Check your IRA. Check your life insurance.

Check your annuities.

Review payable-on-death and transfer-on-death accounts where available.

Make sure the people listed today are still the people you want receiving your money tomorrow.

Depending on your assets and circumstances, an estate-planning attorney might recommend a revocable living trust or other strategies. Trusts aren’t necessary for everybody.

Procrastination Can Become Expensive People procrastinate because talking about death is uncomfortable. Some think they don’t own enough. Others assume estate planning is complicated or expensive.

Meanwhile, life keeps moving. People marry. Divorce. Remarry. Have children.

Lose loved ones. Buy houses. Build businesses. Accumulate retirement money.

And beneficiary forms sit untouched for 20 years. That’s how financial messes are created.

Finish What You Started If you’ve spent your life working, saving, investing and sacrificing to build something for your family, don’t stop one yard short of the goal line.

Create your estate plan. Review beneficiaries. Organize financial records.

Talk with your family. Meet with a qualified estate-planning attorney when appropriate.

Then review your plan after marriage, divorce, births, deaths, major asset changes or moving to another state.

Death is uncomfortable to discuss.

But avoiding the conversation doesn’t avoid the reality.

You worked too hard building your wealth to leave your family guessing about what happens to it.

Don’t just build wealth.

Protect it. Transfer it intentionally.

Because your financial plan isn’t finished until your legacy plan is finished.

OPINION

NEW PITTSBURGH COURIER

The American dream is being repossessed (TriceEdneyWire.com)—The American Dream has always been sold as an installment plan: work hard, save something, buy a home, educate your children, retire with dignity and, with a little luck, leave the next generation better off than you were.

Black people knew the plan was rigged. We were denied mortgages, excluded from neighborhoods, underpaid at work and cheated out of land. Still, we continued to believe that education, persistence and plain old hard work might eventually pry open doors—as with the gradual increase of Black federal workers over the last century.

Now, even those doors are being slammed shut.

The National Urban League’s 50th edition of its State of Black America report asks, “Is the American Dream dead?”

The report documents how every attempt to guarantee life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness has been met with racism, social violence and political retrenchment.

I would state the problem differently. The American Dream may not be dead. It is being repossessed.

A repossession does not happen because the dream suddenly disappears. It happens after the terms have been changed, the payments have been raised, and the borrower has been stripped of the means to keep up.

That is happening to working Americans now.

Julianne Malveaux

Commentary Homeownership—the primary source of wealth for most families—is increasingly out of reach. Rents have risen faster than many people’s paychecks. Student debt burdens those who were told that education was their pathway to opportunity. Healthcare costs can turn one illness into a financial catastrophe. Grocery prices climb while wages lag. Retirement security is increasingly reserved for those who were already secure. For Black Americans, these pressures are layered on top of the racial wealth gap. White families were provided the opportunity to accumulate assets through federally supported homeownership, subsidized education and jobs that came with pensions. Black families were routinely denied access to those same wealth-building tools. We were told to catch up while others were given a head start.

We were told to save, even when our wages were lower.

We were told to buy homes, even when banks redlined our neighborhoods.

We were told to get an education, even when obtaining that education required us to assume more debt.

Then, when some Black people managed to overcome these barriers, diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs were blamed for giving us too much.

Too much? We have never had too much. We have had too little opportunity, too little inherited wealth and too little protection from discrimination.

The assault on DEI is not simply a cultural disagreement. It is an economic strategy. When corporations retreat from diversity commitments and government upends civil-rights enforcement, discrimination does not disappear. It becomes easier to practice and harder to prove.

Black women are again absorbing much of the damage.

More than 300,000 Black women were pushed out the labor force during a three-month period in 2025, and scores of Black men lost jobs, while employment increased for White men, White women and Hispanic women. Some were casualties of federal downsizing. Others were affected by contracting opportunities, the attack on DEI and the instability those policies unleashed.

Black women did not suddenly lose their skills, their education or their work ethic. The economy changed the terms of the agreement.

The latest employment figures offer another familiar warning. The overall unemployment rate was 4.2 percent in June, while the White unemployment rate was 3.6 percent. Black unemployment has historically hovered around twice the White rate. That disparity is not accidental. It is the accumulated result of who is hired first, promoted first—and dismissed first.

Government has an obligation to confront these inequities.

Instead, civil-rights protections are being weakened, voting rights are under siege and the programs that keep working families afloat are treated as expendable.

This repossession is not confined to Black America. The same machinery that strips Black workers of opportunity eventually rolls through the rest of the working class. When unions are weakened, wages fall. When public education is starved, children suffer. When healthcare and food assistance are cut, hunger and illness spread. When voting rights are restricted, democracy shrinks for everyone.

Black America may be the canary in the economic coal mine, but eventually everybody breathes the poisoned air.

The National Urban League calls for three imperatives: Defeat Poverty. Defend Democracy. Demand Diversity. These are not separate goals. Poverty flourishes when democracy is weakened. Democracy deteriorates when inequality becomes entrenched (poverty). Diversity becomes threatening only when opportunity is treated as a scarce possession (poverty mindset) that must be reserved for a favored few (anti-democratic).

The American Dream was never equally available, but generations fought to widen it. They organized unions, marched for voting rights, challenged segregated schools and housing, and demanded fair employment. They understood that democracy does not run on autopilot.

If the dream is being repossessed, we cannot sit quietly on the curb while the tow truck pulls away.

We must demand fair wages, affordable housing, voting rights, civil-rights enforcement and accountability from corporations that profit from Black dollars while abandoning Black workers. We must use our economic power as deliberately as we use our political power.

The American Dream is not dead. But it is under assault.

Whether we reclaim it—or replace it with something more just—depends on what we are willing to do now.

Stay in the game until it’s over (TriceEdneyWire.com)—I am blessed to have lived and worked in Michigan for several years, and I have rarely been prouder of what I saw from voters and candidates in this year’s Democratic primary for the United States Senate.

The race between Congresswoman Haley Stevens and Dr. Abdul El-Sayed went down to the wire.

Because I had friends supporting both candidates, I stayed up watching until the end. I respect both of them. They share many of the concerns I have about our country, and I applaud the campaigns they ran and, just as important, the way they conducted themselves after the votes were counted.

Dr. El-Sayed won the Democratic nomination. Congresswoman Stevens conceded. Yet neither used the moment to belittle the other. There was no need to humiliate an opponent or turn a hard-fought primary into permanent bitterness. Their words after the race showed something we have seen far too little of in American politics: respect.

That spirit should not be dismissed as mere courtesy. It is part of democracy’s discipline. Elections produce winners and losers, but citizenship continues after Election Day, and so must our responsibility.

That matters deeply.

Campaigns are supposed to give voters a choice. They should expose differences, test ideas and force candidates to explain what they believe.

But once the voters decide, democracy also requires something else: the ability to accept the result, respect the process and decide what comes

Dr. E. Faye Williams, Esq.

Commentary next.

Michigan voters did their part. Participation was strong, and the close race showed how seriously many people took the choice before them. Now the responsibility moves forward to November.

The best thank-you voters can give these candidates is to vote again and bring someone with them.

For nearly two years, Americans have endured political conduct that too often has been marked by vulgarity, dishonesty, corruption, cruelty and disrespect. We should not accept that behavior as normal simply because it comes from people seeking or holding public office.

I would urge candidates from every political party to look at what happened in Michigan and remember that disagreement does not require degradation. You can fight for your position without destroying another person. You can lose without attacking the country. You can win without treating the people who opposed you as enemies.

Our children are watching.

Many young people are discouraged by what they see in politics. Some have decided that voting does not matter. Others believe staying away from the process is itself a statement.

It is not.

If young people want different leaders, they must vote for them. If they want different priorities, they must organize around them. If they believe government is failing them, some of them must prepare themselves to run for office.

You cannot change the game from the sidelines.

I learned that lesson many years ago at a little college in Louisiana where a man named Eddie Robinson spent his life teaching young people how to win. Coach Robinson became one of the winningest coaches in college football history, but his lessons were bigger than football.

He taught his players, and young women like me who were fortunate enough to be around him, that you do not leave the game until it is over.

That lesson stayed with me.

Life has never been easy for me. I have lost battles. I have seen doors close. I have watched progress come slowly and sometimes move backward. But I have also learned that quitting guarantees nothing will change.

So I am still in the game, Coach.

I am still working to make a difference. I am still encouraging young people to understand their power.

I am still asking people to participate rather than complain from the sidelines.

And one of the most important ways to stay in the game is still one of the simplest: Vote.

Then bring somebody with you.

19th century Black president of Georgetown University In researching my recent New Pittsburgh Courier column regarding Thurgood Marshall and Clarence Thomas I came upon a Forbes magazine reference to Clarence Thomas as one of the first Black students at the College of the Holy Cross, in 1967. That reference was incorrect.

Five enslaved Black Healy brothers graduated from the school during or just after the first half of the 19th century, more than 100 years before Black Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States Clarence Thomas and his Black classmates graduated from Holy Cross.

As unusual as it was for an African American to attend any college in the 1800s, for five Black siblings to graduate from that Massachusetts Catholic school during the antebellum era is astonishing. By 1850, fewer than two per cent of Black adults were college educated, according to the Journal of Blacks in Higher Education.

African American James Healy was in the first graduating class of the College of the Holy Cross.

James and Patrick Healy graduated from Holy Cross in 1849 and 1850, respectively. Both finished the college with valedictorian honors and both became priests in the Catholic faith, as did their brother Alexander. Moreover, James Healy became America’s first Black bishop, and Patrick Healy was elected president of the Jesuit Catholic Georgetown University.

Like the Healys, Clarence Thomas was born in Georgia. In their youth three of the Healys and Clarence Thomas aspired to be priests. Patrick Healy and his two brothers made it, but reported racism in his seminary took Clarence Thomas in a different direction more than a century later.

Patrick Francis Healy was one of 10 siblings born to enslaved and raped African American Mary Eliza Smith (also referred to as Clark) and to her enslaver and rapist, White Irish immigrant Michael Healy. As noted above, three of their sons became priests; one became a bishop, and one daughter became a Mother Superior.

Although their dad Michael Healy

Robert Hill

Commentary faked marriage to his adolescent child-rape victim, slaves could neither consent to sex nor deny consent to their slaveholders. ‘’Not tonight, dear; I have a headache’’, could not apply. Nonetheless, the wealthy rapist Healy did treat the Black Healy babies as his legitimate offspring, sending them north for their educations. Most of the antebellum south prohibited slave literacy.

Patrick Francis Healy was born in Macon, Georgia on February 27, 1834. After earning his Holy Cross bachelor’s degree, through Georgetown University, under whose charter unchartered Holy Cross conferred its degrees, Patrick Healy earned his PhD at the Catholic University of Louvain (among its several names) in Belgium.

He was history’s first Black American to earn the PhD, in 1865 and became the first Black Jesuit.

Following more study at Georgetown University, teaching there and teaching in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Patrick Healy embarked on his historic climb to the top of Georgetown University leadership. Some awareness of his racial identity was quietly noted by a few in the University community.

But mostly, he was regarded as White and the ‘’second founder’’ of Georgetown.

His enormous curriculum expansion, construction agenda and defining what was rendering Georgetown a major university earned him that distinct identity.

Prior to his Hoya days—in fact when Patrick Healy was only four years old—on June 19, 1838, Georgetown University (then College) met its budget shortfall by the selling of 272 slaves from the school’s Maryland plantations, saving the institution from bankruptcy.

There is no published evidence that President Healy—of course, himself born into bondage—addressed that historic slave-trading outrage after he became the school’s leader some 35 years later, in 1873. But, in 2016—and somewhat in penance—Georgetown pledged to offer its preferential legacy-admissions status opportunity to undergraduate applicants whose ancestors were among the 272 aforementioned slaves. There is little published evidence that more than a handful of African Americans became enrolled at Georgetown through that initiative.

In modern times, Georgetown University is celebrated for its Black basketball greats Patrick Ewing, Alonzo Mourning, Dikembe Mutombo, Allen Iverson and Coach John Thompson Jr. Needless to say, of course, 42nd President of the U.S. Bill Clinton is a Georgetown alumnus.

Historically, the stories of America’s centuries-long White/Black miscegenation are underscored by the accounts of pedophile Thomas Jefferson and his Black enslaved child-rape survivor Sally Hemings; of Ellen and William Craft who escaped slavery by White-looking young Ellen and her Black valet-masquerading husband William traveling in disguise as ‘’gentleman and servant’’; as well as of Georgetown’s Father Patrick Healy and his family of leaders in various fields.

The doctrine of partus sequitur ventrum—legally practiced throughout antebellum America—mandated that the children of Black slave mothers and the mother’s White enslaver be stolen slave babies of their slaveholder father. That aspect of American history helps to explain some of the tangled realities associated with hues/ complexions of American Blackness to this day.

Astoundingly, deep-dive history reveals the Hemingses, Crafts and Healys to be—by blood—related parts of one extended family. Genealogists can have a great time with that fact.

Shaping the future with our dollar

by Marc H. Morial (TriceEdneyWire.com)—“I believe in destiny. But I also believe that you can’t just sit back and let destiny happen.

You are going to have to get out there and make it happen.”—Spike Lee Black Americans are tired of being disrespected at the cash register, and we’re taking our grievances to the bank.

A year into the call to boycott Target for retreating on its diversity, equity, and inclusion commitments, the Urban League movement commissioned a report to understand where our dollars are going today and why. Titled Economic & Psychographic Research on Black America, this study accompanied our 2026 State of Black America Report as a special section.

The research included focus groups and polling of Black Americans from every age group and region in the country, as well as sets of non-Black peers with the same demographics.

The findings across five categories- groceries, health and wellness, saving and investing, beauty, and travel- painted a picture of where our dollars are going today and why.

The key takeaway was that our

community is no longer showing up for companies and brands that aren’t showing up for us, and we’re taking our $2.1T in spending power, just shy of the entire GDP of Canada ($2.5T), with us.

The report found that 45 percent of Black consumers say they would reduce spending or actively seek alternative brands if a company reduced or eliminated its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, compared with 31 percent of non-Black consumers.

Online backlash and boycotts are no longer simply a public relations issue.

They are growing business issues with measurable marketplace consequences for customer loyalty, brand reputation, and long-term revenue.

And we’re understanding the value of supporting one another. We found that 58 percent of Black consumers say supporting Black-owned businesses is important to them, compared with 31 percent of non-Black consumers. Price and product quality remain important, but they are no longer enough. Trust and respect are drivers.

And we’re not just buying; we’re building. We found that Black respondents were more interested in business savings accounts (19 percent vs. 14 per-

cent), business checking accounts (17 percent vs. 12 percent), and Individual Retirement Accounts (16 percent vs. 11 percent). And among Black adults ages 18 to 34, interest rises to 29 percent for business savings accounts and 25 percent for business checking accounts.

For our young people, these investments have extended into the future of industry. 41 percent of Black consumers spent money on content creation during the past year, compared with 33 percent of non-Black consumers.

Among Black consumers ages 18 to 34, average spending on content creation reached $1,920, compared with $1,530 among non-Black consumers.

My takeaway from this research is that much of our influence is nothing new. We’ve shaped fashion and beauty trends, music consumption, and turned the Box Office on its head, as we saw last year with the performance of Sinners. Today we’re coalescing that influence and our dollars around an economy that serves us better than the one that has been handed to us for centuries. We have a generation of people who are taking their futures into their hands and creating a world that works for all of us.

FORUM

AUGUST 12-18, 2026

The fight for quality of life (TriceEdneyWire.com)—Tennessee state Rep. Justin Jones is starting to sound the alarm that the Democratic Party should not abandon the Deep South. Black lawmakers and activists across the Deep South argue they have been left behind by the Democratic Party to fight on their own. They point to years when the Democratic Party apparatus is systematically underfunding local organizations while Congressional leadership turns its focus to key battleground districts that could ultimately give them control of the U.S. House of Representatives.

“Folks who lead our party go to swing states like North Carolina and Georgia, but states like Mississippi and Tennessee and Alabama and South Carolina are really neglected and are really forgotten and are really treated as if it is inevitable that we’ll always stay in such systems of what I call apartheid type of politics,” said Jones. The feeling of neglect is negatively adding to what lawmakers are calling a crisis for Black representation.

In March 2023, Jones was thrust into the national spotlight when he joined fellow state Reps. Justin Pearson and Gloria Johnson to become known as the “Tennessee Three.” The group of legislators supported gun-safety demonstrators in the House chamber after the Covenant School shooting in Nashville. Pearson, who represents the Memphis-area House District 86, recently won the Democratic primary for U.S. House for Tennessee’s 9th Congressional District. Pearson has an uphill battle since Tennessee Republicans redrew the congressional map soon after the Louisiana v. Callais Supreme Court decision.

Previously, the 9th District largely kept Memphis together and was a majority-Black, strongly Democratic district represented by Democrat Steve Cohen. The new map divides Memphis between three districts that extend into more rural, White Republican-leaning areas. Cohen chose not to run under the new configuration.

The Tennessee legislature, through means of partisan and racial gerrymandering, took what was a reliable Democratic seat and made it into

David W. Marshall

Commentary a Republican-leaning district. The new statewide map is now designed to give the Republicans an electoral advantage in all nine of Tennessee’s U.S. House districts. Going back to Rep. Jones’ point, states like Tennessee cannot be an afterthought to the national Democratic Party.

When I think about Rep. Pearson as a candidate running in a Republican district, one person comes to mind: former Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack.

In 1998, Tom Vilsack was elected Iowa’s first Democratic governor in more than 30 years, and was re-elected to a second term in 2002. As governor, he worked with schools, medical providers, businesses, faith-based organizations, and other entities to expand healthcare coverage to more than 90,000 previously uninsured children. He served as Secretary of Agriculture during the Obama administration and again during the Biden administration. He stands out because he came from a rural state and he knew the concerns of rural America. He constantly told Democrats not to ignore rural voters.

As Agriculture Secretary, Vilsack had urged Hillary Clinton’s campaign to shore up rural outreach, multiple sources said. The Clinton campaign didn’t think it needed rural voters, which was seen as a shrinking population that was reliably Republican. The campaign never named a rural council, as Obama did in 2008 and 2012. It also didn’t build a robust rural-dedicated campaign infrastructure. The rural voting bloc turned out to be formidable. “Hillary lost rural America 3 to 1,” said one Democratic insider. “If she had lost rural America 2 to 1, it would have broken differently.” Vilsack’s message and warning to Democrats still stands true today. Pearson and other Democrats need an effective rural strategy that resonates with farmers who are frustrated with tariffs, damaging trade policies, inflation, the impact of the Iran War, and cuts to federal farm programs. U.S. farm debt has reached historic levels.

In February 2026, the American Farm Bureau Federation released a report that substantiated what many farmers and agriculture economists already knew: We are experiencing a new farm crisis. The report found that Chapter 12 family farm bankruptcies surged by 46 perrcent in 2025. And let’s not forget there is a growing food crisis due to President Trump’s cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

According to former Treasury advisor Steve Rattner, who shared data from the USDA showing that participation in SNAP had plunged by 5 million people over the course of Trump’s second term. “Over 5 million low-income Americans–including 1.5 million children–have lost access to food assistance due to Trump’s SNAP cuts last year,” Rattner explained. “Most of the hardest hit states are traditionally Republican, resulting in growing hunger crises in states like Arizona. While Tennessee has created nine congressional districts of Republican domination, this could be a defining moment for Democrats despite the changing electoral landscape.

A significant opportunity now exists in Tennessee’s 9th Congressional race to start reversing this domination or “apartheid type of politics,” as Rep. Jones described. This could be done by addressing non-partisan, quality-of-life issues like the burgeoning farm debt crisis and food insecurity, which are hitting Republican-held districts hardest. A candidate like Justin Pearson, who is a passionate, eloquent orator and charismatic, can succeed not by being a traditional Democrat, but by proving a young, Black leader can effectively represent the survival interests of White, rural voters who feel equally abandoned.

NEW PITTSBURGH COURIER

Trey Reed, exposing Ben Crump, and failed suicide attempts

Last year, I wrote a piece called “Looking for a lynching while ignoring high rates of Black suicide.”

It was about Demartravion “Trey” Reed, a 21-year-old Black student at Delta State University in Mississippi, who was found by campus personnel hanging from a tree.

The university police confirmed that there were no indications of foul play. The Mississippi State Medical Examiner’s autopsy findings were consistent with the initial investigation, determining that the cause of death was hanging and the manner of death was suicide.

Given Mississippi’s tragic history of racial violence perpetrated by Whites against Blacks, left-wing online agitators ruled out suicide, spread rumors that Reed’s body was discovered with shattered bones, and indicated that he was lynched.

The county coroner refuted the rumors, stating that Reed suffered no lacerations, contusions, compound fractures, fractured bones, or injuries associated with an assault. The police commissioner added, “We haven’t had a documented case of lynching in decades.”

Nonetheless, Reed’s family questioned the autopsy and hired civil rights attorney Benjamin Crump.

Crump announced that he will collaborate with other civil rights organizations to conduct an independent investigation, while former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick offered to cover the cost of an independent autopsy.

The NAACP stated, “While initially offering no evidence of ‘foul play,’ you’d have to excuse our skepticism amidst growing racially motivated violence targeted at our communities across the nation. [But] we offer this piece of history with a level of certainty: Our people have not historically hung themselves from trees.”

I argued that the official determination that Reed’s death was suicide would have been easier to accept if Crump, the NAACP, and Kaepernick had acknowledged the surge in suicides in Black America over the last decade.

In 2015, JAMA (The Journal of the American Medical Association) published an alarming study titled “Suicide Trends among Elementary

J. Pharoah Doss

Check It Out School-Age Children in the United States.” It indicated that suicide is the leading cause of death among children younger than 12, and the number of Black children—mostly boys—under 12 that have committed suicide doubled from 1993 to 2012.

The researchers added, “To our knowledge, this is the first national study to observe higher suicide rates among US Black individuals compared with White individuals.”

In 2020, MD/PhD Joshua A. Gordon, the director of the National Institute of Mental Health, wrote, “One often overlooked aspect of the rising rates of suicide in the U.S. is its impact on youth—and in particular, its impact on Black youth. Black people face increased rates of risk factors, including experiences of racism, higher rates of unemployment and financial and food insecurity, disparities in other aspects of health, and limited access to care, all of which result in an increased burden of mental illness in Black communities. Despite this heavy burden, Black people and individuals in other racial and ethnic minority groups have historically had relatively low rates of suicide.

But this has been changing recently, especially for Black youth. As of 2018, suicide became the second leading cause of death in Black children aged 10-14 and the third leading cause of death in Black adolescents aged 15-19.”

According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, suicide rates among Black youth aged 10 to 24 increased by roughly 37 percent between 2018 and 2021.

I concluded that Reed’s death should have brought attention to the disturbing suicide rate among Black youth in America, rather than serving as a reminder of Mississippi’s racist past.

Nick Judin, an investigative reporter for the Mississippi Free Press,

recently interviewed Reed’s family.

His article was entitled “Trey Reed’s Family Says Crump Never Shared Final Independent Autopsy Results, Stopped Responding.”

Judin said that nearly a year later, Reed’s family members believe they have been abandoned by the lawyers and organizations who first came out on their behalf when Reed’s death made national headlines. Reed’s mother told the Mississippi Free Press that she had been calling Ben Crump often. She had not heard from him since he promised to get back to her between Christmas and New Year’s.

Reed’s family feels Crump has moved on to the next high-profile case.

Judin reported that Crump has since taken cases in Mississippi, including the police shooting of infant Kohen Wiley in Senatobia and Nolan Wells’ death on Horn Island. Crump also conducted independent autopsies in both cases, with preliminary results available within weeks.

This time, right-wing content creators gleefully cited Judin’s report as proof that Ben Crump was a race-baiting grievance hustler who exploited the tragic situation for his gain. These right-wing content creators were so focused on exposing Ben Crump that they neglected to highlight the most important part of Judin’s report.

Judin indicated that during conversations with Reed’s family, they revealed a vital piece of evidence that had previously been kept from the public. Reed’s girlfriend, at the time of his death, provided investigators with suicide text messages he sent the evening before his body was discovered.

Reed’s mother stated, “The message read that he was going to hang himself.”

Reed’s grandmother also saw the suicide messages Reed wrote to his girlfriend, but here’s the most important fact: the messages also confirmed that Reed made a previous suicide attempt but failed.

Right-wing content creators continue to criticize Ben Crump, but they, like their left-wing counterparts, have ignored the high rates of Black suicide.

Trump plays golf while the USA suffers We’ve all heard the idiom that Nero fiddled while Rome burned. Even though that event was improbable, the saying has come to be used to describe someone who does useless things while ignoring serious crises around them.

We know that Trump is playing golf while wildfires burn, floods rage, gas and grocery prices go up, health care becomes unaffordable, diseases that had been long eradicated due to vaccination have made a comeback, our parklands are being commercialized, and people have little faith in the government. He is more concerned about gilding the statues of long deceased war heroes than making sure our current veterans have the proper benefits and care that they deserve.

When have you heard about Trump going to the scene of natural weather devastation to comfort United States citizens? Why? Because Trump has no empathy. He cares about himself and amassing more money. Remember Trump’s visit to Puerto Rico in 2017 after the island was devastated by Hurricane Maria. When his staff had him stop at a church in San Juan to assist in distributing relief supplies, Trump threw paper towels into the crowd. He defended what he did in an interview with Mike Huckabee on a Christian network by saying this, “They had these beautiful, soft towels. Very good towels.

And I came in and there was a crowd of a lot of people. And they were screaming and they were loving everything. I was having fun, they were having fun.

They said, ‘Throw’em to me! Throw’em to me, Mr. President.’” However, according to media accounts, Carmen Yulin

Cynthia Ackron Baldwin

Commentary Cruz, the mayor of San Juan, criticized what she said was the slow federal response, called Trump’s visit to the island “insulting,” said Trump lacked “common courtesy,” and called him the “miscommunicator-in-chief.” She added, “He minimized our suffering by saying that Katrina was a real disaster.”

Trump started the war in Iran and even after U.S. service members were killed and injured in retaliatory strikes, Trump was spotted visiting his golf properties in Florida and other locations. According to the Donald Trump Golf Tracker, an independent public schedule monitor, Trump golfed 4 out of 5 weekends in May, 3 out of 4 weekends in June, every weekend in July, and on the first Saturday in August in 2026.

Trump has golfed 125 days out of 561 days (8/04/2026) or 22 percent of his time in office since the people re-elected him and returned him to the White House.

He had the time to play golf, but not to visit any natural disaster scenes during May, June, or July 2026. During these months, Louisiana, Kansas, Illinois, Indiana, the Ohio Valley, Kentucky, Tennessee, the Northeast, the Mid-Atlantic, and Texas, by media accounts, have been hit by either severe storms and tornadoes, wildfires, Tropical Storm Ar-

thur, heavy rains and flooding, or flash floods. These natural disasters don’t even include the severe heat and the wildfire smoke from Canada impacting many states.

A recent PBS article states, “Trump has taken longer on average to approve disaster requests than any other President, according to an Associated Press analysis of data dating back to 1989, when a federal law setting new parameters for disaster determinations was implemented. And no other president has such a disparity in denials between states that supported him politically and those that did not.”

The President played golf but had few comforting words for the suffering American citizens. The President appears to be a man without empathy or compassion for the people he is supposed to be serving. In addition, Trump’s comments about playing golf only add to his plethora of lies. In 2016, while on the campaign trail, Trump stated multiple times that he would be too busy working for the American people to leave the White House. In fact, he mocked former President Barack Obama multiple times for playing golf amid difficulties in the United States.

After attacking Obama for playing golf, using Air Force One to campaign, and heading out of Washington at taxpayer expense, Trump did all three only a month into the job after his election in 2016, and he continues to do so in his second term.

Mr. President, the American people continue to suffer while you play golf.

Stop abdicating your responsibilities.

Americans need a leader, not a golfer.

The proposed Ordinance would levy a two percent (2.00%) tax on all earned income and net profits on residents of the Borough of Braddock and a one percent (1.00%) tax on all earned income and net profits earned by non-residents for work done or services performed or rendered in the Borough of Braddock.

The earned income tax increase is estimated to generate approximately $51,737.07 in additional annual revenue for the Borough of Braddock in fiscal year 2027.

If adopted, the increased earned income tax rate will become effective on January 1, 2027.

The Ordinance in its entirety will be on display in the Borough of Braddock’s Municipal Building and shall be available for view during normal business hours.
