Well, over 50,000 individuals converged on the city of Memphis for the 100th Annual Holy Convocation. Often referred to as Saints, Members of the Church Of God In Christ took planes, trains, automobiles, and even the bus to get to their Jerusalem, otherwise known as Memphis, Tennessee, COGIC world headquarters. Having just buried the Bishop Gilbert E. Patterson, it was with great anticipation the saints gathered for a great meeting. The Annual Convocation was overshadowed by the talks of a special election to be held at the closing of the exciting week of services. The world’s fastest growing denomination met under the leadership of the new presiding bishop, Charles Edward Blake. Read More |

The reports came in as a major shock that Dr. Donda West, the mother of rap star Kanye West, died of a heart attack after undergoing two cosmetic surgeries: Liposuction on her stomach and a breast reduction. However, an official autopsy had not been performed when I got the news. My phone started ringing while I was in Memphis at the 100th Holy Convocation of the Church of God In Christ and it was all to much of a reminder of the previous year while at the same convention I was informed about Gerald Lavert dying of a heart attack as well.However, this death seemed to be personal for me in ways that no other celebrity death has been. In this business meeting people that are famous comes a dime a dozen some you like and some you don’t. Kanye West is one of those artist that I like, his work is amazing and to know his story you cannot help, but feel his pain. Because I am to journalism what Kanye is to rap I know how he feels to be the best and have to make people respect it and bow down to your phenomenal artistry.

At the height of his reign as New York’s heroin kingpin during the Vietnam War, Frank Lucas was raking in over a million dollars a day on the streets of the City. This was no mean feat for a former sharecropper who has arrived from rural North Carolina penniless and with no formal education. But on the way to building his own drug empire, he had, for twenty years, learned the ropes from Harlem’s most notorious mobster, the legendary Bumpy Johnson. Not long after his mentor passed away in his arms, the protégé summoned his five younger brothers North to build an illicit family-run operation. Read More |

Mychael Bell is a free man—at least for now. The 17-year-old, one of the
six African American teens known by the world as Jena 6,

that he will no longer seek to try him as an adult. Shortly
after bail was set at $45,000, the young man walked out of

civil rights activist Rev. Al Sharpton. Prosecutors
claim that Bell was one of the six black teens
involved in the beating of a white student. His case
sparked national outrage and a massive civil right
demonstration outside the courthouse last week. Protestors
saw Bell’s initial charge of attempted murder as

the attack, the popular television evangelist spoke publicly

not want to be seen as a victim or as a damsel in distress. “I

I said today I wanted it to come from my heart,” said Bynum. “This
is such a difficult moment for me because this is my first

Jim Ellis’ story is one of passion and
pain. When Ellis (Terrence Howard) arrived
in Philadelphia in the summer of 1971 it was in hopes of landing
a teaching position. Instead, the only employment the
recent college grad could find was a dead-end job closing down
a rundown recreation center located in a disadvantaged area
of North Philly known as Nicetown. But after discovering that
the gymnasium had a swimming pool, instead of preparing the
dilapidated facility for the wrecking ball, Jim decided to
try and renovate it. He knew that if he did not the neighborhood
kids would lose their only local outlet for constructive supervised
exercise. Rather than allowing them to get into trouble
on the streets, he invited them inside for a chance to cool
off in the pool. Then, put them on a serious training
regimen in order to turn them into a team capable of holding
their own against the best swim clubs in the area. In
the end, Ellis not only succeeded in his efforts to resurrect
the Marcus Foster Recreation Center, the program he created
has continued to flourish for the past 35 years, providing
a healthy environment for aspiring young athletes in the inner
city. This admirable achievement is the subject of Pride,
a biopic based on the exploits of a real-life role model. Read

There has been plenty of debate over illegal immigration into
the United States. Clearly this issue is an emotional

huge public demonstrations have been staged to pro-immigration
advocates, while national-security conservatives are fixated
on threats from terrorism, gangs, and other factors--have called
for strict border controls and enforcement of immigration laws.

"What

warm greeting from my home girl that is also from Oakland, California.
"This is one of the greatest roles because I get to depict a
real woman, a real African American woman," Smith

Mac Show . "She is not someone they made
up based upon what they think of us." Kellita
described her role to me as a wife and mother in a
true black family. We might see her doing some
stand up comedy and expressing some creative talent she possesses
that has yet to be seen. Read
