Because Of Them We Can
By BOTWC Staff
James has come a long way in a short time, born to a 16-year-old single mother in Akron, Ohio who struggled to make ends meet. He would move nearly a dozen times in three years before being thrust into the spotlight as one of the biggest high school basketball prospects of all time. At 18, his good fortune changed, James striking his first deal with Nike in 2003. The partnership paid off and after a career full of highlights, Nike inked a lifetime deal with James in 2015 that rakes in tens of millions every year.

Wilmer recognized in the national Texas Economic Development Guide
WILMER, TEXAS – The City of Wilmer was recently recognized in the 2022/2023 Texas Economic Development Guide by Site Selection Magazine
The City received recognition for its outstanding growth in the area with a number of national facilities eyeing Wilmer as an excellent location to move distribution headquarters.
While it was stated that Houston was a huge market for growth in 2022, the real star regarding the location of incoming national logistic hubs is the Dallas-Fort Worth area, topping the state with 187 projects.
“This area has reaped the benefit of outstanding growth along with our neighboring cities seeing three of the top 10 projects since the beginning of 2021,” said Sheila Petta, Mayor of City of Wilmer. “We are thrilled to be part of the expansion in the southern sector of Dallas, and we have many plans ahead to continue to facilitate future growth.”

Glenn Heights’ leaders take public safety seriously, outfit officers with devise for improved safety and transparency
GLENN HEIGHTS – The leaders in the City of Glenn Heights take public safety and transparency seriously.
Last Friday the city’s entire team of police officers were outfitted with Axon 3 body cameras.
Glenn Heights Director of Public Safety Keith Moore said this new advanced technology is a win for everyone.
“The goal with the City of Glenn Heights, as it pertains to public safety, is always providing our public servants the latest and best technology,” Moore said. “It is important to capture all the information to be able to do our job as efficiently as Glenn Heights’ residents expect.”
The Glenn Heights Police Department realized that when Axon upgraded their technology recently it was time the city upgraded their technology too. Moore presented the device to the Glenn Heights City Council and City Manager with an explanation of the significant changes the new device offers. These changes include an integration system that allows an officer’s body camera and car camera to synchronize, the current system does not. The new system also saves the officer time in not having to return to the station after each incident to remove the camera and place it in a docking station to synchronize the data. The new body camera has the ability to activate when an officer draws a taser or their duty weapon, and it will also turn on another officer’s camera if he reports to a crime scene with his camera off. The new camera also allows the dispatch center to monitor officers in real time for safety when needed and allows other unit’s updates before responding.

Shame on US scholars, writers for intellectual imperialism against Haitians |
The Haitian Times
By Celucien L. Joseph, PhD
American academia produces some of the most arrogant and selfish academics and thinkers in the world. Because most American scholars and historians write and publish in the English language, works published by Haitian, Caribbean, African or other Black writers — who write in French or Spanish — are deemed worthy of intellectual value only when written in English. These American scholars do not assess the quality of scholarship or good research, only their own ability to process the information in English.

Moses Fleetwood Walker; Baseball’s True First |
NNPA Newswire/BlackPressUSA
By Tamara Shiloh, Oakland Post
Some 63 years before Jackie Robinson is credited as the first African American in Major League Baseball (April 15, 1947), Moses Fleetwood Walker (1856–1924) became the true first to break the sport’s color barrier. The American Association (today, the American League) was formed at the opening of the 1884 baseball season. Their goal was to be in competition with the National League. The Toledo Blue Stockings were added as one of the league’s participating franchises. The starting catcher would be Walker.

The Path
As we walk through life's journey, we leave footprints. Some just show where we are going. Others redirect us when we get lost. Still others remain to guide those we leave behind. I see your footprints.
Will you/they see mine?
