Environmental Injustices Affecting The Black Community and Earth Day
Earth Day turns 40 this year, but many African-Americans have never seen environmentalism as a priority until recently. Green is now the new Black! There are environmental justice issues affecting the Black community that should be given full attention by all Americans this Earth Day!

So, do we still need a Black History Month?
It’s been about 3 centuries since we were removed from our continent and stripped of our land and identities, about two centuries since Lincoln freed the slaves, almost half a century since the Civil Rights Act was passed and 2 plus years since we elected a black president.

Once upon a time Kwanzaa rivaled Christmas and negative white people actually feared the power and unity created by this EVENT! Our kids learned history, tradition and honor. People lined up at Reader’s Choice and other black stores to buy their Kwanzaa kits and made it a truly powerful, enriching holiday. News stations gathered around to show our pride and power, now they just run a 30-second fluff piece on December 26th.
Really, is that how it’s going down?
