BUY BLACK! When Dr. Frederick D. Haynes III, of Friendship-West Baptist Church, announced 100 Days of Buying Black in acknowledging the 100th Commemoration of the Tulsa Race Massacre, a year ago, we joined the movement. December 31, 2021 marked 100 days of featuring Black Businesses, and we decided that the struggle continues and we must also. So enjoy reading about more Black-owned businesses and please support. We're still going strong today and we also received recognition from the National Newspaper Publishers Association for our efforts!

BLACK CARD
Be Wary If a Naked Person
Offers a Shirt
|
By Terry Allen
Big Mama never fails! Her wisdom transcends time. Lucille “Big Mama” Allen’s birth in 1906 sparked a faith driven wisdom trail within the family. She created a process of self-awareness, self-examination and spiritual alignment for all of her children. She also once stated to me after I bought something via the mail from a magazine ad that did not look like its picture. She quoted Maya Angelou, “Be careful when a naked person offers you a shirt.” I learned that I had to examine the credibility of the source, the reputation of the product and the entire relevance of the offering.

$11 million plan to help preserve three historic Black Dallas neighborhoods
could expand
The City Council approved changes to an ARPA-funded program that could mean home repair and infrastructure improvements could go beyond
Tenth Street, Joppa and Five Mile.
|
Dallas may expand a program to fund home repairs and sewer and water infrastructure improvements in three historic Black neighborhoods to other parts of the city. The program, approved by the City Council last December, is funded with more than $11.2 million in federal COVID relief money as part of the city’s American Rescue Plan Act Neighborhood Revitalization Program.

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?
