After attending the Kingdom Day Parade, Miss West Coast Black Globe went to Exposition Park to continue the celebration of a wonderful man, Martin Luther King, Jr. Being with the Black Globe Organization has even more meaning for me to attend such events and pay tribute for a man that had suffered for my benefit as well as others.
Although the museum doesn't…

I am appalled by the Redistricting Draft maps released on January 25th as much as the recent goings-on at City Hall. If I could, I would run an Impeach Them All campaign, directed at everyone who chopped up my Council District. They would be ousted with their greedy forks and knives. Transparency? Hah!

Dr. Haley Helps Medical Students Succeed While Embracing Antiguan Culture
First Place Winner for Original Hat purchased at Sika’s
Yesterday Dr. Haley went swimming with a stingray, but that adventure is merely a foot note to her daily exhilaration in building on the past success of the Educational Enhancement Department (EED) at the American University Antigua (AUA). The stingray provides a useful metaphor for Dr. Haley’s approach to…

I remember when I lived in a state that did not want to truly recognize King Day. But today, 20 years later, as Al Sharpton would say, most people in Arizona have to take the day off and think about why.
Images from the 27thAnnual Kingdom Day Parade honoring Martin Luther King Jr. Crowds lined the route, a few people deep at…

The importance of community and organization at a grass roots level is always the point of the Empowerment Congress, where a few thousand residents gather to learn more about their government.
But the message has a special resonance in 2012. Libya fell. Tunisia fell. Egypt fell. Syria may fall. In places where you have to put your life on the line for freedom,…
