Coming Out As Black

Elaine Vilorio

High school senior in New Jersey

I'm Black. After many years in the closet, after many years of breathing that stale air of self-denial, I can finally say this.

Comments

What Happened to Little Girls?

Danielle Moodie-Mills

Writer, Polinista, and Equality Advocate

If at 4 or 5 years old, you are getting a full weave to make you "cute," what will be your fix at 20? Nothing, it seems, is off-limits.

Comments

Chicago's Students Deserve Acts of Heroism

Dennis Van Roekel

President of the National Education Association

There is plenty of evidence to suggest that Mayor Rahm Emanuel's plan to shutter 50 (yes, 50) schools won't be good for Chicago's children, especially children of color.

Comments

Kanye West is white America's worst nightmare. Because as much as one may attempt to dismiss him, you still have to turn on your regularly scheduled late night comedy program and stare him in the face. You can't avoid Kanye. He's made very sure of that.

What I Soaked Up From the President's Speech to Morehouse Grads: Reflections on a Transformative Black Male Agenda

Roderick Carey

Educational researcher, writer and teacher educator

If you see a black man smiling wider or poking out his chest more than usual this week, you can probably assume that his excitement was caused, at least in part, by the rousing address given by President Barack Obama at the Morehouse College commencement.

Comments

A Plan of Action

D. R. Tucker

Freelance writer and co-host of "The Green Front" on Progressive Radio Network (thegreenfront.com)

I could not have imagined on Nov. 19, 1998, that within ten years, an African American would be elected president, and my ideological allies would respond with a rhetorical and political assault that made my own attacks on Judge Tauro look polite by comparison.

Comments

GOP Mute on Apple and Other Corporations Corporate Welfare Grab

Earl Ofari Hutchinson

Author and political analyst

The GOP has transformed the stereotype of who is a government leech into the perennial political attack point that the government is too big, wasteful and intrusive. And that those who appear to benefit most from government should pay the most for it.

On a Black Queer Morehouse Commencement

Jafari S. Allen

Associate Professor, African-American Studies and Anthropology, Yale University

For me, having taught "Genealogies of Black LGBTQ/SGL Culture and Politics," the first LGTBQ studies course at Morehouse and only the second at a historically black college, this semester, President Obama's small utterance in his commencement address is groundbreaking.

Comments

Lessons From a Queen: Erykah Badu Shares Life Lessons

Tanisha L. Ramirez

Freelance Lifestyle & Pop Culture Journalist

Erykah Badu, in addition to being the reigning Queen of Soul, is a doula herself. And more than that, she's a strong role model for women who want to do it all, and then some.

Comments

Our Moral Obligation

Rep. Steny Hoyer and Rep. Barbara Lee

From infants to seniors, the sequester affects at-risk Americans in every age bracket, and its cuts will harm families trying to put food on the table. Simply put, the sequester will erect road blocks along the pathways out of poverty.

Student's Rant Speaks Volumes for What Ails Our Classrooms

Eric Cooper

Founder, President of the National Urban Alliance for Effective Education

How can we as a nation go where his teacher would not, and rise up to address students when they ask what their schools are doing to help them?

Comments

Heavenly Reunited

Lawrence D. Elliott

Author and 'Chicken Soup for the Soul' contributor

It was the summer of 2006, when I stepped off the cool airplane into the heat and humidity at Monroe Regional Airport. I was back in the Louisiana of my ancestral roots. My body was filled with great anticipation.

Comments

Murder, Mayhem and Memphis: Lessons From My White Neighbor About Blacks

Darron T. Smith, Ph.D.

Professor

Living in a society where citizens are conditioned to believe that being black and male is synonymous with crime is severely misguided, out of context to centuries of brutal oppression recorded in history.

Comments (11)

We Were Right (So Says the Census): Hidden Swing Voters Tipped the Scales in 2012

Marc H. Morial

President and CEO, National Urban League

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.

Fostering Inclusive Entrepreneurial Ecosystems

Darrin Redus

Chief Economic Inclusion Advisor, JumpStart Inc.

Connecting more minorities to the nation's emerging tech-based economy (via these high-tech industries) is of vital importance for our collective economic future. This bridge-building isn't always easy, however.

Comments

Picture This -- A Conversation With Rowena Husbands

Myrdith Leon Mccormack

Celebrity manicurist, style writer, entrepreneur

Because of my mom, when I see women doing things that men are typically mostly known for doing, I revere them. Thus the reason why I was drawn to Rowena Husbands, celebrity photographer and entertainment manager.

Comments

Denying Church Rights to Women and Gays Is Just Like Race-Based Discrimination, Right?

Stephen R. Haynes

Professor, Rhodes College

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.

What WNBA Cares Week Means to Me

Kara Lawson

Guard, Connecticut Sun; Olympic gold medalist; ESPN analyst

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.

Comments

The Hypocritical Kanye West and His Role in Producing Today's 'New Slaves'

Ernest Owens

Communication & Public Service scholar, University of Pennsylvania

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.
