Deny, Delay, or Defer

October 4, 2025

Kweku’s Korner By Dr. Kweku Akyirefi Amoasi Have you ever seen two people who were about to fight, and they did everything but fight? I mean, they took off their jackets. They traded verbal jabs. They postured and got in a fighting stance, but when it came down to it, they were praying someone would […]

An Open Letter to Assata Shakur: What I Wish I Could Have Said

October 4, 2025

Say Something Real By Michelle Bryant Dear Assata, Now that you have passed, there are so many things I wish I could have said to you, words left unspoken, thoughts left unsaid. Your death marks the end of a life that was as fiercely contested as it was deeply inspiring. You were more than a […]

What are the Goals of Managers/Controllers of the Economy?

October 4, 2025

BlackEconomics.org®   The topic-question of this essay is more provocative than you might believe. It goes beyond the type of goals imposed on the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (FRB; an institutional unit charged with managing the U.S. economy) by the U.S. President and Congress. For example, the FRB’s “dual mandate” is to ensure maximum employment […]

September 27, 2025

By LaKeshia N. Myers As Black America grapples with the latest iteration of the modern civil rights movement, Black churches find themselves at a critical crossroads.

Silence is Golden

September 27, 2025

Kweku’s Korner By Dr. Kweku Akyirefi Amoasi I was once told the best quality about a cup is its emptiness. Not its size. Not its color. Not its handle. Not its special design. But the emptiness. It’s the hollow part that makes the cup useful. If it’s empty, it can be filled. But it must […]

Strange and Familiar Fruit: Remembering, Resisting, and Refusing to Forget

September 20, 2025

Say Something Real By Michelle Bryant There are songs that haunt the American soul, but none more so than “Strange Fruit.” First made famous by Billie Holiday in 1939, its mournful melody and searing lyrics hold a mirror to the ugliest chapters of our nation’s past. Lynching. Recently, I heard a pastor say, “You can’t […]

September 20, 2025

Wisconsin Finally Takes a Step Toward Electoral Efficiency

September 20, 2025

By LaKeshia N. Myers After years of watching Wisconsin suffer through election nights with delayed results and manufactured controversy, I’m thrilled to see Republican lawmakers finally embracing common-sense election reforms.
