I find it very interesting that no other press other than The Community Milwaukee Journal (Black Press) chose to cover this story of a Black Man who walks  from Florida to Washington, D.C. (1100 miles) to bring attention to the issue of the education of Black children. Other communities get full mainstream coverage of adults taking charter buses to Tallahassee (approximately 440 miles) to stand in front of our Capital. Sadly some Black parents will not walk around the corner to a PTA meeting. Amefika walked to D.C. This is first a Black man who loves his community, understands the importance of education for Black children, and sojourned this distance to make a statement of factual historical inclusion. The Black Community should not wait for others to celebrate Amefika Journey. He did this for our children and for their future.

"We must go back and recapture those "old" values, for it is those "old" values that have helped to get us to where we are today. We must do this for the sake of our children." 

 

What are your thoughts?

Amy Goodman, Truthdig.com: "As many as 5,000 children in Pennsylvania have been found guilty, and up to 2,000 of them jailed, by two corrupt judges who received kickbacks from the builders and owners of private prison facilities that benefited. The two judges pleaded guilty in a stunning case of greed and corruption that is still unfolding. Judges Mark A. Ciavarella Jr. and Michael T. Conahan received $2.6 million in kickbacks while imprisoning children who often had no access to a lawyer. The case offers an extraordinary glimpse into the shameful private prison industry that is flourishing in the United States."

Many are saying that the Black community has allowed President Obama's Election to take the wind out of their sail, regarding advocacy to address issues facing Black and Hispanic families. What are your thoughts? 

How is the present economy affecting those who were poor before the recession/depression? Share your thoughts?
