Red Light Cameras Should Get a Green Light in Wisconsin

November 9, 2019

By LaKeshia Myers I am not disillusioned. Reckless driving is an issue in the City of Milwaukee, which is why I am a proponent of the proposed red light camera legislation. According to data provided by the City of Milwaukee, there has been a consistent uptick in reckless driving since 2012. In 2018, there were […]

We Can Do Better Than This

November 2, 2019

Legislatively Speaking By Senator Lena C. Taylor Breathe. Just take a deep breath. That is all I could do after reviewing data recently reported by the National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP). Known as the nation’s report card, NAEP measures the proficiency of the nation’s students on a variety of subjects. This assessment has been […]

Supporters Ramp Up Pressure on African Union to Reinstate Ambassador

November 2, 2019

By Stacy M. Brown NNPA Newswire Correspondent @StacyBrownMedia Did African Union Ambassador to the United States Dr. Arikana Chihombori-Quao lose her job because of her outspokenness about France’s continued profiting off of her beloved Africa? Or, is Her Excellency being shown the door because certain powers are exasperated that she’s exposed another “scramble for Africa?” […]

National Black Catholic History Month: Acknowledging the Dedication of African American Catholics

November 2, 2019

By LaKeshia Myers When I was a classroom teacher, I had the opportunity to teach a course called College Summit.

Trump is not Alone Among Americans in Failing to Understand What a Real Lynching is

November 2, 2019

Donald Trump’s use of the term “lynching” to describe the ongoing impeachment inquiry in the House naturally sparked bipartisan outrage. The president and his shameless apologist, South Carolina’s Sen. Lindsey Graham, defended the use of the word, with Graham calling the investigation a “lynching in every sense.” Surely Graham, who comes from a state that, […]

Unemployment Insurance: A Bridge Over

October 26, 2019

Legislatively Speaking By Senator Lena C. Taylor In 2018, nearly 22 million workers were laid off jobs, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Roughly, two million people collected unemployment last year. Now imagine if those people were required to take a drug test to be eligible to receive unemployment benefits. Can’t quite wrap […]

Black America Is Not A Monolith

October 26, 2019

By LaKeshia Myers This past week, I had the opportunity to watch the television show Black-ish on ABC. The episode dealt with Anthony Anderson’s character, Andre Johnson, being invited to join a premiere social organization and his mixed feelings about being viewed as bourgeois (or “bougie” as it is commonly referred). Initially Anderson dismisses the […]

Trump and the Politics of the 2020 Census

October 26, 2019

By Jesse Jackson A new report should raise alarms about the upcoming 2020 Census. According to the Pew Research Center, the good news is that the overwhelming majority of Americans are aware of the census, and over eight in 10 say they are likely to participate. The bad news is that nearly one in four […]

Mourning A Political Giant: An Ode to Congressman Elijah Cummings

October 19, 2019

By LaKeshia Myers I remember it like it was yesterday, my first full committee hearing with the Oversight & Government Reform Committee. I was nervous, because I had to help set up the hearing room and make sure that all of the Congressional members nameplates were in the correct order when they arrived. As I […]

What I Learn When I have Lunch at Cook County Jail

October 19, 2019

By Jesse Jackson On my birthday this year, I continued my tradition of going to the Cook County Jail to have lunch with some of the 5,552 people who are inmates there. These visits remind me of the humanity of those who are in trouble — and of the inhumanity, even idiocy, of our criminal […]
