Waiting While Black We heard and used the terms, “Driving while black” and “Shopping while black”, right? Well, now there is another terms added – “Waiting while black”. Last week, Thursday, April 4th, two men sat in a Philadelphia Starbucks location waiting for a friend to arrive. The store manager phoned the police and reported that they trespassing. The police immediately arrived to arrest the two gentlemen. Although the men were arrested without incident, this story has made national headlines and is sparking the outrage of the community and beyond. Did the Starbucks manager call the police because he felt they were trespassing or because he felt fear? No matter what your answer may be, these men were not doing anything more than sitting in the establishment, just as their white counterparts? Why is there such hatred or fear so deep that black men today can’t simply just sit in an establishment and wait for a friend? Reggie Kearney and Chara Ann Tappin, along with Toni Breedlove examine the Starbuck's arrests and what it says to the increasing threat that black men face today. |

What Happened to the Dream? I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men are created equal." ~~ Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. - August 28, 1963 If you’ve had the pleasure of listening to, or reading the “I have a dream” speech, there is no way that it does not give you pause. The “I have a dream” speech was one of the most powerful aurotorials of our American history. However, in today’s times, we still are seeking justice for blacks - for all people. Fifty years ago, an assassin's bullet took the life of one of the most powerful civil rights leaders to silence him and his efforts to unite a nation of people. Did Dr. King, die in vane? What happened to the dream that so many had fought and died for? What happened to our fight and stance for equality and justice? |

Black Men's Lives Matter Here we are again to speak on another officer involved shooting - one of which just recently took the life of Stephon Clark, 22, unarmed and black. Stephon Clark was fatally shot by Sacramento police in his grandmother's backyard, being struck eight times, which included six bullets in the back. According to Dr. Bennet Omalu, who conducted the the autopsy, concluded that "Each one of these bullets independently possessed a fatal capacity". Just this year (as of April 1, 2018) 264 people have been shot and killed by police - 57 Black and 37 Hispanic - and the vast majority of these deaths are not reported in the news. What makes a Black man’s life so expendable, where law enforcement will gun them down with excessive force, and the same force and “overkill” not be used with men of non-color? Why is it immediately assumed that Black men are pose eminent danger or threat? |

March for your Life - Young People taking a Stand March for your Life - Young People taking a Stand On this past Saturday, young people across the nation marched in protest of gun laws and to take a stance against the US government’s inaction. These young people have proven to the world that they are moving into position to become the lawmakers of our future. Are these young future lawmakers making a difference? Will they be successful in the change of what has been the norm for hundreds of years? And what do we do as adults in support of their efforts?

18 years old and ready to vote As more young people are getting involved in the political arena of gun control, immigration policies and other issues that seem to be a huge part of their lives, hundreds of thousands of young people are turning 18 years old, and will be gearing up to cast their first ballot. Like, Yvonne Baker’s (HTTR Host) granddaughter, who has the question as to what party she should represent, and for what the different parties stand; but also should she back a party based on hereditarial following. So what do we teach our young people as they take their place in our voting arena? Do we sway them to follow our beliefs, or do we teach them to follow what they want to see for their own futures as they ready themselves to be our countries’ next leaders?
