Beyonce, Your “Halo” has a Dent! “Turn the Lights On”, Black Face Is Not Cool!

Thanksgiving: A Call To Unification

“The very first effort of the colored people should be to lay hold of them; and then they will take such root in this American soil that only the convulsive upheaving of the judgement-day can throw them out!”
