Christmas to Me Is More Than a Holiday

December 12, 2020

By LaKeshia N. Myers Growing up, I looked forward to our annual church Christmas pageant.

November 22, 2020

Legislatively Speaking By Senator Lena C.

Our President, the Gambler

November 14, 2020

By LaKeshia N. Myers In his most famous song, “The Gambler,” Kenny Rogers taught a valuable lesson: “You’ve got to know when to hold ‘em, know when to fold ‘em, Know when to walk away, know when to run. You never count your money when you’re sittin’ at the table, There’ll be time enough for […]

Presidency: Top to Bottom Review Required

November 7, 2020

Legislatively Speaking By Senator Lena C. Taylor The one thing that Donald Trump’s run for office and subsequent presidency has taught us is that we need to tighten up our game.

November 7, 2020

By LaKeshia N. Myers We are all reeling from the effects of COVID-19. The coronavirus pandemic has turned our world upside down; nowhere is this more apparent than in K-12 schools.

The Importance of an HBCU Education

October 31, 2020

By Rep. Alma S. Adams, Ph.D. I often say that I was able to get my Ph.D. from The Ohio State University because of the North Carolina A&T State University, a HBCU and my alma mater. However, the importance of my Aggie education goes beyond that; it prepared me to walk the halls of Congress. […]

More Needed on COVID-19, GOP Fine with Less

October 24, 2020

Legislatively Speaking Wisconsin Republicans Unprepared to Lead As Death Toll Rises Wisconsin’s Republican controlled state Legislature has pretty much been missing in action, when it comes to minimizing the universal damage of COVID-19.

Replacing Fear With Hope: The Importance of Breast Cancer Awareness

By LaKeshia N. Myers I recently had a sofa shipped from an auction house in Los Angeles to Milwaukee. While this detail may seem trivial, understand that this was no ordinary sofa.
