Let's Talk About It

Abortion in the Hood, A Matter of Choice or Survival?

2011-09-02T19:40:00.000-07:00

Those are strong words. They are words of truth. The black community has been targeted by the abortion industry and we have been targeted to such an extent that choice has been erased. Don’t believe it? Look at the facts. Just this week Life Dynamics issued this report: Racial Profiling by Planned Parenthood and the American Abortion Lobby Documented (http://bit.ly/ploVH0), that clearly and

Abortion by the Numbers

2011-04-25T21:17:00.001-07:00

Before we begin, let us set aside our normal arguments for or against abortion. If we cannot do this, the message will get lost in the rhetoric and we will not be able to see clearly. In order to remove the smoke that is obscuring our vision, let us simply set it aside leaving the rhetoric for another time. When we do, we will find one certain thing - something is terribly wrong. The numbers do

To My Sisters: We Made God Cry

2011-04-01T11:37:00.001-07:00

The other day a storm blew through metro Atlanta. It was a fierce storm that rattled the windows and shook the doors. It woke me from a sound sleep. I could hear the rain pounding the ground in buckets, the lightning was flashing intermittently as the thunder roared. As I settled back down I began to dream. In it I saw the most heartbreaking, gut wrenching scene - I saw God with His head thrown

To My Sisters: Let’s Talk About It

2011-03-25T19:37:00.001-07:00

There are some words that once spoken, cause a reaction. Abortion is one of those words. Simply speaking the word out loud in front of some would be cause for debate. Within moments of the word being uttered, the rhetoric would begin to fly with the rapidity of firing an AK-47. Those for abortion would fire off their arguments in pro-abortion language and those against abortion would fire off

An Open Letter to African Americans – Can We Have the Conversation?

2011-03-09T10:05:00.001-08:00

Every day, all across America, more than 1500 black babies die in the abortion chambers that dot urban areas where blacks reside. In state after state, the numbers of abortions performed on black women are 2, 3, 4 sometimes even 6 times the number of blacks in the population in that state. In New York City, and perhaps other states that do not publish abortion data by race (CA, IL and FL for

The Visible Invisibles – An Open Letter to America’s Black Community

2011-03-01T13:39:00.001-08:00

This is an article about abortion, and those most impacted by the industry. This is a chronicle about the visible invisibles - those who are seen, but literally not recognized. In July 2010, the New York Post ran an op-ed titled Where New York's not Proud to Lead (http://nyp.st/i7GIub ). The opinion piece called attention to New York City's 2008 abortion rate, a statistic that took my breath

New York, New York… What a Deadly Town

2011-01-17T17:55:00.000-08:00

It has been a while since I blogged. I have been deep into writing my book, The Fight for Life, Taking it to the Streets. But I had a recent experience that has caused me to set the book aside for a day to write about a New York that has become foreign to me. Back in the day, the really cool kids skipped school, jumped into Cynthia Bowser’s mustang and rode to New York to eat chicken and waffles

The Dream Hijacked

2010-09-02T14:25:00.000-07:00

Martin Luther King’s dream has been hijacked. By whom, you ask? You decide. The Civil Rights Movement has been described, not as a movement about blacks and whites, but as a movement that was about right and wrong and freedom and justice. Blacks and whites alike fought and died together. They fought against laws that denied rights to blacks because of the color of their skin. Some, such as

A Stain on The Dream, Part 2

2010-08-02T13:27:00.000-07:00

While the National Park Service was busy violating our first amendment right to peacefully assemble, the ‘protestors’ were loudly chanting their dissent through their megaphone. Ignoring the fact that a significant number of those on the Freedom Ride were black, the protesters acted as if those present were all white and they were angry and offended that we sang We Shall Overcome. Despite the

A Stain on The Dream, Part 1

2010-07-25T19:16:00.000-07:00

The pro-life Freedom Rides were launched this weekend in Birmingham Alabama. From the rally in Birmingham to the caravan to Atlanta, every detail was attended to, every life memorialized, and every care taken to make room for the healing of America’s second greatest tragedy after slavery. High on the success of the Rally held the night before and prayer vigil in front of Planned Parenthood

Changing Hearts, Changing Minds

2010-03-01T16:52:00.000-08:00

On November 26, 1921 the headline in the Memphis Commercial Appeal read: Negro Ambushed, Lynched for Writing White Girl. Blacks reading this headline I am sure were terrorized, shaken to their roots, because yet another black man had become the “Strange Fruit” Billie Holiday so plaintively sang about. Eugenics is a word that should have that same effect, striking fear in the hearts of every

America: You’ve Been Punked!!!

2009-12-09T10:30:00.000-08:00

America, You've been punked if you believe the abortion debate is about women's rights. You've been punked if you believe the practice of abortion is racially neutral. You've been punked if you believe that Senator Harry Reids' outburst was historically, politically or socially accurate!!!! The abortion debate in America began with the question of what to do with the three million, now

America’s Achilles Heel

2009-10-31T16:34:00.000-07:00

America has a fatal weakness in spite of her strength, and this weakness is spreading. It can actually lead to her downfall. From its inception, America has not treated its citizenry well. Even while drafting the Declaration of Independence, the foundational document that guarantees every person the inalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, it enslaved millions of blacks -

America Needs More Uncle Toms!

2009-10-01T09:46:00.000-07:00

In a meeting recently, one of the speakers noted that the murder of Emmett Till gave face to the Civil Rights movement in the US. So when I saw a copy of a DVD about Emmett, I purchased it. I have watched the Untold Story of Emmett Louis Till five times. There were things in the documentary that I did not know or had not heard. I did not know and had not heard that there were two black men

Bone Chill

2009-08-20T20:56:00.000-07:00

Have you ever had an experience that literally chilled you to the bones? I have. It does not happen often but when it does, it stirs something in me and I find I want to fight, to make it better, or change the paradigm. The first time I had that experience was at the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic site in Atlanta Georgia. As my daughter, friends and I walked in the footsteps of those

Being Upside Down in America

2009-07-21T09:56:00.000-07:00

As you can tell by my logo, I love talking about the myriad of issues impacting America. There are so many that it’s sometimes hard to select just one. So this time, I chose a topic that is recurring and seemingly oxymoronic: How can people be prolife and support war or the death penalty? Some argue that the war in Iraq is immoral and that Americans are needlessly sacrificing their lives or
