The U.S. Continues to Choose Chaos over Community
This year’s celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday was overshadowed by the chaos engulfing our country. We often quote Dr. King’s words, which hold true value every day of the year, not just on a single holiday. Our nation is at a critical crossroads where mere words have become meaningless; it is time to fully embrace and implement the legacy of our beloved visionary.
NFL Half-Times will never be the same
We’re still talking about Lamar’s 2025 halftime show, and we’ll be talking about Bad Bunny’s for months to come.

This was a refreshing change from the mindless entertainment that we are often presented with daily.
Trump’s Racist Video and Black History Month
This year marks the 100th anniversary of Negro History Week. Historian Carter G. Woodson established this week in February to honor the birthdays of two of his esteemed heroes, Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. Over the next 50 years, the week was expanded into a full month, and the term “Negro” was replaced by “Black.” In 2026, descendants of African slaves embrace and celebrate their history year-round. We recognize that our history extends far beyond the time we were kidnapped and brought to these shores. People of African descent also know that our history is integral to American history.
