But it occurs to me the why is something I’d never realized before.
I’ve said before People of Color are angry and they have every right to be angry.
But when a Person of Privilege is on the receiving end of that anger, they don’t understand it. I mean they...
I have been doing so much reading about the History of Education over this past semester that I really feel the need to share some images of things that I am learning in regards to African American life with the first year of the this nation’s independence.
I may just do a larger follow up on my main blog.

I think it is completely bizarre that so many in the USA treat black latinos like its a ‘new thing’ when most of the most recognized latino figures are black. I’ll just drop two big names, Celia Cruz and Roberto Clemente. At one point in time Roberto Clemente was the most recognized Puerto Rican in the entire world. -and it wasn’t a secret to the sports world! nearly all of...

from my media justice column
This February marks the 2nd anniversary of an virtual online project that I co-created called The LatiNegr@s Project. I’ve been reflecting on how this project has grown and evolved and wanted to write a 2-year review of the project.

I have to admit when I first thought about highlighting this amazing group I thought it would be an easy thing. However, like most things as significant as they are, the history is very deep. My love for music is well known and when I heard these band of musicians play, I was hooked. So let’s stick to the facts. Buena Vista Social Club is the name of the album by a group titled...

Today’s Project highlight was actually a suggestion from one of my followers that I have met on Twitter. She had suggested that I look up the name: Dr. José Barbosa. What made me happy about today’s highlight is that this is the true nature of the project. I do invite more communal involvement…

Let’s take everything you think you know about baseball right now and throw it out the window. When anyone of us think about the color barrier in baseball, we think about the late great Jack Robinson. The man that stepped through the door in Major League Baseball. He is honored in every stadium in America by having his number retired by all 29 teams. Of course he made it possible...
