Lennon Lacy’s death recalls Emmett Till’s
October 23, 2014
Lennon Lacy (NNPA) – Black Americans old enough to recall the shock of seeing and hearing what had happened to Emmett Till in Mississippi in 1955 are sure to get a fresh whiff of the atrocity in learning about the tragedy of Lennon Lacy in Bladenboro, N.C. Lacy, 17, was found hanging from a swing set in the middle of a trailer park near the end of August, the same month Till was killed .

Hyundai-Kia recalling nearly 1.9 million vehicles
April 3, 2013
(AP Photo) DETROIT (AP) — Korean automakers Hyundai and Kia are recalling almost 1.9 million vehicles to fix problems with air bags and brake light switches. The switch recall covers almost 1.7 million vehicles — most of the automakers’ model lineups from the 2007 through 2011 model years. In addition, Hyundai Motor Co. is recalling about 194,000 Elantra compacts from 2011 to 2013 to fix an air bag problem. A faulty switch can stop the brake lights from illuminating when drivers press on the pedal, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said in documents posted Wednesday on its
Anti-Apartheid Activist Steve Biko Recalled
January 9, 2012
Steve Biko South African anti-apartheid activist Steve Biko might have cheered the movement of Occupiers now multiplying across the United States and abroad with the goal to obtain rights for the “99 percent”. The Black Consciousness activist would have been 65 this week but his life was cut short at the age of 30 when he was murdered by apartheid-era police while in detention. Born on Dec. 18, 1946, he died on Sept. 12, 1977 in Pretoria. By 1972, Biko had become one of the founders and later the first President of the Black Peoples Convention which retaliated against the Apartheid

Obama Southland Visits and Ben Affleck Prediction Recalled
January 22, 2009
Actor and Oscar-winning screenwriter Ben Affleck may well have been the first person to prophesy publicly in Southern California that Barack Obama would become president, although not necessarily as soon as January 20. On Oct. 27, 2006, Obama came to USC to back Proposition 87 and speak at a California Democratic Party get-out-the-vote rally. Affleck introduced Obama before he endorsed the ultimately unsuccessful initiative that would have raised taxes on oil companies to fund research into alternative energy. "He is very, very likely–though good luck in getting him or anyone else to say so–at one point, eventually down the road,

Recall Set in Motion
September 27, 2007
At Los Angeles Sentinel press time an unofficial tally of the recall ballots indicated that the Yes votes carried the day. As a result of the voting results, Lynwood Mayor Louis Byrd, and council members Rev. Alfreddie Johnson, Fernando Pedroza, and Leticia Vasquez will be removed from office. The recall was initiated largely on the fact that elected officials had tentatively approved a major, mixed-use development building project which includes a professional football/soccer stadium that may result in the demise of several homes and recently built schools. At the center of the recall is an independent developer who had proposed
