QUIT PLAYIN
We Need Some New Farmers!
|
By Vincent L. Hall
Black History comes in chapters, but the best of it is unwritten and cultural. It has always been how we do, what we do, when forced to do it that makes the Black experience unique. Long sentence, but you get the message! During and before the “Modern Age,” we as a people had a footprint in two worlds. One was urban; the other was rural or agricultural. The Modern Age ushered in technological innovations, scientific discoveries, and the like. Opportunities in the city drew us from the farm.

Some election woes persistent in North Texas as mail-in ballot deadline passes for March 1 primary |
Election officials in North Texas ultimately saw ballot application rejections return to normal levels, but mail ballots are being sent back to voters at abnormally high rates and turnout remains low.
AUSTIN — With the primary coming on Tuesday, North Texas elections administrators are seeing a mixed bag of results regarding mail-in ballot voting as they conduct the state’s first statewide vote under a controversial election law. Even as turnout has remained typically low for a primary in a non-presidential year, this year’s primary has been mired in complications caused by new voter ID provisions under Senate Bill 1.

Research shows that getting the COVID-19 vaccine before or during pregnancy can have significant, positive impacts on your baby’s health after delivery. |

Maternal vaccination reduces newborn COVID-19 hospitalization risk by 61% |
Asix-month study published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that maternal vaccination for COVID-19 reduced newborns’ risk of hospitalization due to the virus by approximately 61%. The benefit jumps to 80% if the two vaccine doses are given after 21 weeks of pregnancy and more than two weeks before delivery. Antibodies made after a pregnant woman is vaccinated will cross the placenta and enter the fetal blood stream, protecting the newborn.

NYC Black Unemployment Stuck Above 15% |
“A startling trend,” says head of a leading anti-poverty organization.
Adams and Hochul haven’t detailed how they might help.
The Haitian times
One in five Black New Yorkers is either officially unemployed, stuck in a part-time job when they want full-time work, or so discouraged they are not even looking for employment — suffering the worst job hits of the pandemic recession. While Black unemployment is historically higher than that for other groups and harder hit by economic downturns, the data this time is more worrisome, according to new research from New School economist James Parrott.

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?
