There is no doubt that the opportunity to re-elect America's first black president contributed to record black turnout last year. But, no matter who is on the ballot in 2014 and 2016, we must continue to exercise our voice. We must continue to exercise our vote.

Biblical passages to which conservative Christians appeal on these issues can be interpreted differently. But even those convinced that conservatives do not interpret the Bible correctly in these cases must concede that they do so consistently.
I am proud to be part of organizations like the Connecticut Sun and the WNBA that put such emphasis on giving back to the communities and people that support them.
Unlike many rappers in hip-hop who are obvious industry pinheads just trying to cash into the bank, Kanye West knows more. Yet, that is perhaps the very problem: he knows more and yet does nothing to actually fix the problem.
I get that "Revolution" isn't trying to be groundbreaking drama, but it's been most compelling when it was unpredictable. This is an interesting premise that's been established. Keep us on our toes, and we'll be more invested.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) just released the latest data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) on Americans' sugar consumption, and the results are quite surprising. Here are some of the findings that really grabbed my attention.
Growing up in Tulsa, my dream was to play in the NBA. I am fortunate to have been able to achieve my dream, and now helping other kids follow their dreams has proven to be just as impactful on my life as every minute that I played in the NBA.
President Obama impeccably and eloquently made the connection between the role Morehouse has played in shaping today's world and the role it will play in shaping the future.
Weather it's a luxurious excursion or a quick trip, shopping is one of life's great pleasures. Shop like a pro with these tips and your next run to Barney's will be nothing short of a success!
Truth be told, slurs are common around the water cooler, reflecting a dehumanizing view of criminal defendants that comes from years of locking them up, one person of color at a time.
After my sister died from breast cancer three years ago, I asked, during my mammogram, whether I should get tested for the breast cancer gene. I was warned that doing so, particularly if I tested positive for the gene, could mark me as an individual with a so-called pre-existing condition.
I'm honored Andrea Morehead could share some advice for other busy moms and her thoughts on early education.
Barack Obama visited Morehouse College on Sunday to give a refrain on the responsibility of Morehouse Men and black America to find dignity and progress in self-reliance, a refrain that has simultaneously proven exciting and excruciating for African Americans over the last four years.
I'd believed that I was headed for greatness, but they had revealed in me a thing that was seemingly so dirty, so disgusting that my other talents paled in comparison to the supposed vileness of being a practicing homosexual. And for this they bullied me right out of the church.
I was a 25-year-old documentary filmmaker from New York working on a show for MTV. He was a 21-year-old dancer in East Oakland trying to move on with his life after the murder of his little brother. I spent a year embedded in his life, and got a front row seat to an American epidemic.
Something is clearly wrong with our state when all the death sentences are coming out of one county. We are in a crisis when our state, which is 4.3 percent African-American, has a death row that is 100 percent African American. A broken system has produced flawed results.
I ask you, fans across America and around the world, to root for Memphis -- both the Grizzlies team and the city. Maybe a Grizzlies championship can provide just the "grits" this Southern city needs.
there's the almost ritual expectation by the public that second term presidents will be dogged by some scandal. This was the case with Eisenhower, Nixon, of course, Reagan, Clinton and George W. Bush. This shouldn't surprise.
The loneliness of that realization, that my daughter might have to shoulder the consequences of these stigmas, made me heartsick. I'd made myself believe she would only be challenged by her race and gender, not the basic ability to speak her mind.

Grilling Secrets: Make the Most of Your Meat and Veggies
ADVERTORIAL
Need help at the grill this summer? Check out Kraft Foods' marinating and grilling secrets for steak, ribs, seafood, chicken and vegetables.
Preparation Tips· Marinate in the refrigerator; never at room temperature.
· Marinate in a food-safe plastic bag or non-reactive container such as glass or ceramic, not aluminum.
· Marinate less tender steaks such as flank for 6 hours to 24 hours.
· Tender steaks such as sirloin can be marinated 15 minutes to 2 hours, just to flavor the meat.
Grilling Tips
· Grill steaks over medium heat about 5 inches from the heat source.
· Turn once during cooking using tongs or a spatula; do not use a fork, it could pierce the meat and allow juices to run out.
· Cooking can take anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes, depending on thickness and desired doneness.
Preparation Tips· Marinate in the refrigerator; never at room temperature.
· On slabs of ribs, remove the membrane on the bone side to allow marinades to penetrate.
· Boiling ribs for a couple of hours before marinating and cooking ensures tender grilled ribs.
· Both pork and beef ribs can be marinated for a couple of hours or overnight.
Grilling Tips
· Slow grilling over indirect heat in which the ribs are not placed directly over the heat source but to the side of it, with the lid closed, is preferred.
· Turn the ribs frequently using tongs.
· Grill 1 to 2 hours, depending on rib type and grill.
Preparation Tips· Marinate poultry pieces 30 to 60 minutes.
· If using tomato-based BBQ sauce, brush on during last 5 minutes of cooking to prevent burning the sauce.
Grilling Tips
· Grill chicken over direct medium heat.
· An internal temperature for breast meat of 170° F and 180° F for legs and thighs is preferred.
· Estimate about 7 minutes per side for boneless breasts, bone-in legs about 20 minutes per side.
Preparation Tips· All vegetables can be marinated in the refrigerator in an oil and vinegar based dressing or marinade for up to one day.
· If not marinating, brush grill grate with vegetable oil before grilling to help prevent sticking.
· Cut vegetables into uniform size pieces so they will cook evenly.
Grilling Tips
· Grilling sweetens and intensifies the flavor of fresh vegetables.· Grill over medium heat, turning frequently, until crisp and tender. They should pierce fairly easily with a fork.
· If cooking hard vegetables like potatoes, briefly boil them before grilling to speed up grilling time or to ensure they will be done at the same time as softer vegetables if grilling together.
