The Date Was June 1, 1921, "BLACK WALLSTREET"
Friday, February 8, 2013
The name fittingly given to one of the most
affluent All-BLACK Communities in America,
was bombed from the air and Burned to the
ground by mobs of envious Whites.
In a period spanning fewer than 12 hours, a
once thriving Black Business District in northern Tulsa lay smoldering -- a model Community destroyed and a major African-American
economic movement resoundingly defused.
The Night's Carnage left some 3,000 African
Americans Dead and over 600 Successful Businesses Lost. Among these were 21 Churches,
21 Restaurants, 30 Grocery Stores and 2 Movie
Theaters, plus A Hospital, A Bank, a Post Office, Libraries, Schools, Law Offices, a half
dozen Private Airplanes and even A Bus System.
As could have been expected, the impetus behind it all was the infamous Ku Klux Klan,
working in consort with Ranking City Officials
and many other Sympathizers.
The best description of BLACK
WALLSTREET, or Little Africa as it was also
known, would be to compare it to a mini - Bev-
erly Hills.
It was the golden door of the BLACK Community during the early 1900's, and it proved
that African Americans could create a successful infrastructure.
That's What BLACK WALLSTREET, Was
All About. The Dollar circulated 36 to 100
Times, sometimes taking a year for currency to
leave the Community.
Now a Dollar leaves the BLACK Community
in 15-minutes. As Far As Resources,There were
Ph.D.'s residing in Little Africa, BLACK Attorneys and Doctors. One Doctor was Dr. Berry
who owned the Bus System. His average income was $500 a Day, a hefty pocket change in
1910.
It was a time when the entire State of Oklahoma had only 2 Airports, yet 6 BLACKS,
Owned their own Planes. It was a very Fascinating Community. The mainstay of the Community was to educate every child. Nepotism
was the one word they Believed in. And that's
what we need to get back to.The main thoroughfare wasGreenwood Avenue, and it was intersected by Archer and Pine Streets.
From the First Letters in each of those Three
Names you get G.A.P. And that's where the
Black Wall Street
renowned R and B Music Group The GAP
Band got its name. They're From Tulsa.
BLACK WALLSTREET was a prime example of the typical, BLACK Community in
America that did businesses, but it was in an
unusual location.
You See, At The Time, Oklahoma was set
aside to be a BLACK and Indian State .
There were over 28 BLACK Townships there.
One third of the People who traveled in the terrifying "Trail of Tears" along side the Indians
between 1830 and 1842 were BLACK People.
The Citizens of this proposed Indian and
BLACK State Chose A BLACK Governor, A
Treasurer from Kansas named McDade. But the
Ku Klux Klan said that if he assumed Office
that they would Kill Him within 48 hours.
A lot of BLACKS owned Farmland, and
many of them had gone into the Oil Business.
The Community was so tight and Wealthy because they traded Dollars hand-to-hand, and because they were dependent upon one another as
a result of the Jim Crow Laws.
It was not unusual that if a Resident's Home
accidentally Burned down, it could be rebuilt
within a few weeks by Neighbors. This was the
type of scenario that was going on Day-to-Day
on BLACK WALLSTREET.
When BLACKs intermarried into the Indian
Culture, some of them received their promised
'40 Acres and A Mule' and with that came what-
ever Oil was later found on the Properties.
On BLACK WALLSTREET,
A lot of Global Business was conducted, The
Community flourished from the Early 1900's
until June 1, 1921.. That's when the Largest
Massacre of Nonmilitary Americans in the History of this Country took place, and it was lead
by The KU KLUX KLAN.
Imagine walking out of your front door and
seeing 1,500 Homes being Burned.
It must have been amazing.
Survivors we interviewed think that the whole
thing was planned because during the time that
all of this was going on; White Families with
their children stood around the borders of their
Community and watched The Massacre.
The looting and everything -- much in the
same manner they would watch a Lynching.
The Riots weren't caused by anything Black
or White. It was caused by jealousy.
A lot of White Folks had come back from
World War I and they were poor.
When they looked over into The BLACK
Communities and realized that BLACK Men
who Fought in The War had come, Home Heroes that helped trigger the destruction.
It cost the BLACK Community everything,
and not a single dime of restitution--No InsurBlack Wall Street, Page 5

Celebrating our 52nd Anniversary

2 - SCOOP U.S.A. - Friday, February 8, 2013
This past week the
local news coming out
of our hometown has
had some of us spinning
our heads. First of all it
was the City Councilwoman Blondell
Reynolds Brown story
that grabbed my attention last week. It became public information that the distinguished
Councilwoman made a mistake in judgment and
used some campaign funds for personal business.
Some are saying she should resign from her position as a Councilperson. Some are saying she
could possibly face some legal action in court. Some predict that even if there’s not legal action taken in court,
Blondell Reynolds Brown will never win re-election. All
that remains to be seen. What I can say for Blondell
Reynolds Brown is this: When you Google her name on
the internet a long list of really impressive news articles
come up about her, before January of 2013. Blondell
Reynolds Brown has accomplished some pretty impressive things during her tenure as a Philadelphia City
Councilwoman. There’s the Fund for Children: She persuaded the Phillies and Eagles, along with Mayor John F.
Street, during the sports stadium negotiations, to establish this fund requiring each team to contribute $1 million annually for 30 years. There’s Menu Labeling:
Requiring chain restaurants to provide menu labeling
with nutritional and calorie information. There’s the Department of Parks and Recreation Merger. Councilwoman Reynolds Brown worked with Council President
Darrell Clarke to overhaul Philadelphia’s Parks and
Recreation system, merging Fairmount Park with the Department of Recreation creating increased efficiency and
savings. There’s the Lead Paint Disclosure and Certification: Requireing landlords to have a certified technician
conduct a dust-wipe test when property built before 1978
is turned over to a new tenant, all designed to protect
children.
Blondell Reynolds Brown worked timelessly on the
Curfew issue: Equipped police officers with a new and
stronger curfew law to complement the opening of 11
citywide curfew centers. She pushed for Green Buildings: Requireing city buildings and renovations to reach
a high substantiality standard. She fought hard for Percent for Art: which secured increased funding for the arts
in the City’s budget and fought for the integrity of the
“Percent for Art” program. She fought for Equal-Benefits, requiring companies that contract with the city for
more than $250,000 to provide domestic-partner benefits
to their employees. She fought for Pension Forfeiture
which requires any city employee convicted of sexual
abuse of a minor to forfeit his or her city pension.
Blondell Reynolds Brown has also fought for Women on

Board of Ethics executive director J. Shane Creamer,
Jr. shared the following in a statement about Blondell
Reynolds Brown:
On January 28, 2013, the Board of Ethics approved a
settlement agreement involving the Friends of Blondell
Reynolds Brown and the Hon. Blondell Reynolds Brown.
The agreement resolves violations of the campaign finance law by Councilwoman Reynolds Brown and
Friends of Blondell Reynolds Brown for: a) making material misstatements and omissions in campaign finance
reports filed with the Board (Phila. Code § 20-1006(4));
b) accepting excess contributions (Phila. Code § 201002(12)); and c) failing to properly deposit contributions (Phila. Code § 20-1003). The agreement also
resolves violations by Councilwoman Reynolds Brown
for accepting prohibited gifts (Phila. Code § 20-604) and
failing to disclose transactions on her 2010 and 2011
Statements of Financial Interests, as required by Phila.
Code § 20-610.
Some people have a short memory and only remember
what’s in front of them today or tomorrow, but I gently
suggest if you Google the name Blondell Reynolds
Brown, you will see a bevy of positive news stories on
great work she’s done since being elected a council person.
Then a day later,
last week, the news
story broke about nine
Philadelphia traffic
court judges being indicted by the Feds.
That is definitely not
good news for them.
The one name in that
news story that I know
must be cleared, is the
name of Philadelphia
Traffic Court Judge
Thomasine Tynes. For
Traffic Court President full disclosure purJudge Thomasine Tynes poses I will acknowledge that Judge Tynes
is one of my dearest friends. I have known Judge Tynes
since I was twenty one years old and over the years, I
watched her go from being a successful business
woman, to becoming an elected Traffic Court Judge, and
then being appointed its first Woman and first African
American President Judge of Traffic Court. (I later
learned it was only a ceremonial title, none-the-less I was
very proud of Judge Tynes being appointed President
Judge of Traffic Court).
The Thomasine Tynes I know would not fix anyone’s
ticket or allow anyone else to “make her” fix someone’s
tickets, I don’t care who you were. I can think back on
times when I unwittingly would invite the Judge, (Tynes)
to a political announcement, or a political fundraiser and
she was always very clear. “No Thera, as a sitting Judge
I’m not allowed to attend political fund raisers or to contribute to political campaigns”, etc., etc.
Everything I know of Judge Tynes ,she was always a
stickler for following all the rules of the law. As a radio
talk show host from WDAS AM/FM, to 1340AM/WHAT,
to 900AM WURD, I always welcomed Judge Thomasine
Tynes to be a guest on my talk shows. Why? Because
whenever she was my guest, my show would be hotter
than hot. It seemed like everybody in the city had questions about their own personal traffic court issues and

Judge Tynes would entertain all those calls, doling out
wise advice about traffic court. And, if she was unclear of
an answer on something, she would admit it, live on the
radio, take that callers name and phone number and
promise to follow-up with them, to get them the right answer about their traffic court question. Judge Thomasine
Tynes has always conducted herself is such a way that
she has been extremely visible in the community during
her tenure, to talk traffic court issues. She has never
ducked from the public or been inaccessible.
At least on three occasions over all the years that Judge
Tynes was a Traffic Court Judge, I called her when I had
2 or 3 parking tickets to pay, and I was coming to Traffic
Court to fight a ticket or simply to pay for several tickets.
I’m the kind of person that if I ever have to go to court, I
have questions and I want to know what to expect. So I
would call Judge Tynes or if I ran into her somewhere, I
would ask her a question, just so I’d know what to expect. The one thing she would always tell me was,
“Thera bring some money with you so you can be prepared to pay your entire bill, or to at least make payment
arrangements. But you will have to bring money with
you .” I never asked Judge Tynes to “make tickets go
away” or to do anything that would put her integrity in
question. Also, for the record, I never stood before Judge
Tynes on the few occasions I’ve had to go there. I always
had another Judge. For the record. For anyone who might
have tried to get Judge Tynes “to fix a ticket for them”, I
can just hear Judge Tynes saying “No”!
Judge Thomasine Tynes has always carried herself
with great dignity and distinction all of the years I have
known her. Whether in her courtroom or at a non-profit
event at some banquet hall, she’s always the distinguished judge. In her courtroom, I observed her several
times as she sat on the bench, in past years. She took
being a Traffic Court Judge very seriously. She did not
Lord over the defendants that came before her. In fact,
she talked to them in a very human way. In some cases,
she was indeed motherly on the bench, in a good way.
There was this one young man, about twenty years old
and he was live-stopped with his grandmother’s car,
which he did not have her permission to even be driving.
When Judge Tynes heard his testimony and heard the
Grandmother’s testimony, she read that young man the
riot act for putting his grandmother in such a position.
She very nicely told that young man off and told him he
needed to pay for his own tickets and not expect his
Grandmother to clean up his mess. Tynes was at her very
best that day in her courtroom. That’s the Judge Tynes I
know. No disrespect to the
Feds, but there’s gotta be a
mistake on the Judge
Thomasine Tynes indictment. Fixing tickets? Not
her.
And then the story that
was the final gut-kicker for
me this past week came out
on Saturday, February 2,
2013. That was the announcement of the unexpected passing of former
Philadelphia Public Schools
CEO, Dr. Arlene Ackerman

Dr. Arlene Ackerman and I
am very saddened by her death. My condolences to her
family. I think that Dr. Ackerman was exactly the dose of
medicine that the Philadelphia public schools so desperately needed. I think that there were a few men in this
town who were uncomfortable around her and they decided to do her in. I know for fact that Dr. Arlene Ackerman was a woman who really cared about our children
and them getting the best education possible. On a number of occasions when I had the pleasure of interviewing
Dr. Ackerman, she told about being a woman of Faith
and her love for God. She said that everything she did,
she did for Him and being in charge of the future of all
the children in the public schools, she did not take it
lightly. Unfortunately she was hindered in her progress
by a few men who were scared of her brilliance and
power, and perhaps a few jealous women were a part of

Our turn to say No More Right Now
ChildWatch
marian wright edelman
This is an important conversation for our
children, for our
communities, for
Democrats and
Republicans.
Speaking is difficult but I need to
say something important. Violence
is a big problem. Too many children are
dying. Too many children. We must do
something. It will be hard. But the time
is now. You must act. Be bold. Be
courageous. Americans are counting on
you.
Statement of former Representative
Gabrielle Giffords to the Senate Judiciary
Committee, January 30th, 2013
At the January 30th Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on gun violence, former Representative
Gabrielle Giffords, the survivor of a gunshot to the head,
gave us our marching orders. The United States stands
alone in the world in our tolerance of gun violence but in
the wake of the devastating Newtown murders, a powerful outcry of ordinary Americans across the country is
saying no more. This time we want our collective heartbreak and outrage to be followed by real change.
How have people in other countries responded after a
gun massacre or mass shooting? Australia and Great
Britain provide two examples. In 1996, 35 people were
killed and 23 others were wounded by a gunman at the
Port Arthur tourist site in Tasmania, Australia, in one of
the largest massacres ever committed by a single shooter.
Within twelve days of the shooting, spurred by strong
public support, the Australian federal and state governments agreed to the historic National Firearms Agreement (NFA), which banned semi-automatic and pump
action rifles and shotguns and required registration of all
firearms, strict standards for gun licenses, and a permit
for each gun purchase subject to a 28-day waiting period.
The NFA also prohibited private sales, regulated ammunition sales, and required licensees to receive firearm
safety training and to store firearms safely. To get banned
rifles and shotguns off the streets, the federal government
bought back or accepted turn-ins of over one million
guns which were then destroyed.
The National Firearms Agreement was supported by a
coalition of groups from across the political spectrum including women’s organizations, seniors, religious lead-
Great-Phil yschools.org launches awareness campaign
to help parents evaluate school options
In anticipation of major
changes to Philadelphia’s
school system this year,
the Philadelphia School
Partnership has increased
efforts to raise awareness
about a free resource for
parents, caregivers and
students -- GreatPhillySchools.org. The
website and new corresponding print guides provide a comprehensive
resource for Philadelphia
families to evaluate and
compare over 400 K-12
schools in the city, including ratings and information about district, charter,
Catholic and private
schools. GreatPhillySchools.org was created through a
collaboration of several
nonprofit partners led by
the Philadelphia School
Partnership (PSP) and the
Urban Affairs Coalition.
"The initial response to
GreatPhillySchools has
been tremendous, but for
this effort to be successful,
we must reach the parents
and caregivers who most
need this information, especially in light of so
many proposed changes,"
said Mark Gleason, Executive Director of the
Philadelphia School Partnership. "GreatPhillySchools.org is
designed to help families
evaluate school options by
providing information and
ratings on many factors,
including academics, col-
lege enrollment, attendance, and safety."
PSP is working with
dozens of partners
throughout the city to increase awareness in lowincome communities,
including the Freedom
Rings Partnership
(KEYSPOTS), libraries,
community and recreation
centers, nonprofits and
service agencies, faithbased organizations, early
childhood centers and
more. In addition, over
40,000 print guides will be
distributed throughout the
city in January and February. The two editions – the
Elementary and Middle
School Guide and the High
School Guide – contain essentially the same information as the website.
“Because many low-income families do not have
ready access to the internet, we are using a grassroots strategy to reach
parents and caregivers in
neighborhoods across
Philadelphia,” said Gleason. “That effort includes
working with community
partners to distribute print
guides across the city.”
Since the site launched
in October 2012, nearly
20,000 people have visited
GreatPhillySchools.org.
PSP has also launched an
advertising campaign
through a mix of television, radio, and online advertising. In partnership

SCOOP U.S.A. - Friday, February 8, 2013 -
ers, police, parents, human rights organizations and
schools, all demanding stronger gun violence laws in
Australia. In the 18 years before the NFA there were 13
mass shootings in Australia. In the 16 years since, Australia has not had a single mass shooting. Rates of overall
gun deaths, gun homicides, and gun suicides, which were
declining prior to the NFA, started declining twice as fast
after the reforms.
Just weeks before the Port Arthur massacre in Australia, 16 five- and six-year-olds and their teacher were
killed in a devastating school shooting in Dunblane,
Scotland. After those murders the public outcry in Great
Britain was very similar to the one we are seeing in the
U.S. right now. The shooter owned his guns legally and
the outrage over his crime started a public campaign for
tighter gun control culminating in a petition being
handed to the government with over 700,000 signatures.
A 1987 mass shooting by a man who killed 16 people
and wounded 15 others had already led Great Britain to
ban semi-automatic and pump action rifles and shotguns.
This time, eleven months after the Dunblane murders,
Great Britain passed the Firearm (Amendment) Act of
1997 instituting tighter controls over handguns. Soon
after, the country went a step further and prohibited all
handguns in civilian hands. The government also instituted firearm amnesties across the country resulting in
the surrender of thousands of firearms and rounds of ammunition.
After Great Britain acted, gun-related crimes continued
to rise for a while, following a trend that began earlier in
the decade. Experts said it was inevitable that criminals
were not going to surrender their illegal handguns and it
took time to reduce the pool of illegal handguns after the
ban and see declines in gun-related crimes. But after
peaking in 2003 and 2004, the total number of firearm
offenses has fallen every year since. In 2009, nearly 67
percent of U.S. homicides were committed with guns
while in Great Britain the number was only 6.6 percent.
In 2010, 27 people were killed by gun homicide in the
United Kingdom, which includes both Great Britain and
Northern Ireland and has a population of more than 62
million people. In California and Texas, with a similar
combined population of 62 million people, there were
3
2,255 gun homicides. What a difference guns make.
Some will argue that other factors contribute to the
lower gun violence rates in Australia, Great Britain, and
similar countries beyond their strong gun control legislation. Others note that the United States is a very different
place, with entrenched attitudes equating guns with personal freedom, tens of millions more people, and tens of
millions more guns, and we may never be able to expect
the same success reducing the number of gun murders to
near zero. These points may have some merit but are not
reasons to dismiss anything other countries may be getting right in favor of continuing to do nothing new here.
In both Australia and Great Britain extraordinary
tragedies pushed a groundswell of citizens to stand up
and say no more and elected officials to follow through
with significant action. If Americans had said no more
after Columbine, there may never have been a Virginia
Tech. If we had said no more after Virginia Tech, there
may never have been a Tucson. If we had said no more
after Tucson, there may never have been an Aurora. If we
had said no more after Aurora, there may never have
been a Newtown, and maybe some of the more than
31,000 other American gun deaths that occur each year
could have been prevented.
President Obama was correct when he said at the interfaith prayer vigil at Newtown High School that “no single law—no set of laws can eliminate evil from the
world, or prevent every senseless act of violence in our
society. But that can’t be an excuse for inaction. Surely,
we can do better than this. If there is even one step we
can take to save another child, or another parent, or another town, from the grief that has visited Tucson, and
Aurora, and Oak Creek, and Newtown, and communities
from Columbine to Blacksburg before that—then surely
we have an obligation to try.”
Let’s heed Gabby Giffords’ moving testimony to be
bold, to be courageous, and to act now for our children’s
sake.
Marian Wright Edelman is a lifelong advocate for disadvantaged Americans and is the President of CDF. Under
her leadership, CDF has become the nation's strongest

Black History is World History Part I Black History
junious r. stanton
As we celebrate
Black History Month
let us be open minded
enough to realize we
have the power and
duty to expand the
celebration of ourselves and our legacy
to three hundred and
sixty-five days a year!
Why should we limit
ourselves to focusing
on our rich traditions
and awesome contributions to human history during the
shortest month of the year? Yes, I know Carter
G. Woodson chose February to celebrate Negro
History Week in honor of Frederick Douglas and Abraham Lincoln but human culture, learning and growth
are not static; nothing says we cannot expand our consciousness and our knowledge base of ourselves.
Black history is world history as our great researchers and scholars like Drusilla Dunjee Houston,
W.E.B. Dubois, Ivan Van Sertima, Cheikh Anta Diop,
Wayne B. Chandler. O.K. Owusu and Runoko Rashidi
and others have abundantly and irrefutably proven. The
fact is, in the pre-literate ancient world most humans
were dark pigmented. Over thousands of years their
physical stature and phenotype changed often due to
mutation, isolation and inbreeding. The people Western
anthropologists call Negritos or Pygmies, were the
original inhabitants of vast swaths of Africa and subsequently dispersed across the planet within a wide climatic belt similar to their original homeland in the
interior of Africa. They left Africa migrated into Asia
and beyond. We find their descendants as far away as
Southeast Asia, the Pacific in Australia, New Guinea
the Phillipines, Hawaii, and Malaysia.
These ancient Black people left no great stone monuments along the Nile Valley but the Blacks who came
after them revered them. These diminutive people were
small in stature but huge in organizational skills, they
set the foundation for human governance, cooperation
and even spirituality. They gave the world the concept
of an unseen all encompassing SPIRIT and the values
of living in harmony with it and all creation. “The
achievements of the Nile Valley people stood on the
foundation of thousands of years of observation of the
stars, moon, sun and other natural phenomenon by interior Africans. From these early Africans in the interior we see one of the earliest known prototypes of the
God-man called Bes, which predates Heru (GreekHorus) and Ausar (Greek-Osiris) who in turn predate
the biblical Jesus by thousands of years. The physical
characteristics of Bes reflect the short stature of these

early Africans who were ancestors of the modern day
Twa peoples. In the papyrus of Hunefer the people of
the Nile Valley were quite clear about their origins,
‘We came from the beginning of the Nile where the
God Hapi dwells, at the foothills of the mountain of the
Moon.’ There are two mountains whose names both
mean 'mountain of the moon' - Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, whose river contributes to the Blue Nile, and
Rwenzori Mountain in Uganda, which is the source of
the White Nile. Civilization flowed down the river
Nile, which starts from the White Nile and Blue Nile in
Uganda and Ethiopia, flowing north to Egypt. The
River Nile stretching for 4,000 miles was a huge cultural highway that facilitated the movement of people
and natural resources and the exchange of information
and goods.” Egypt In Africa by Tyehimba
http://www.rastaspeaks.com/tyehimba/2005/1503.html
From Africa these early humans dispersed throughout the world. “There were three major waves of migration of quite different ancient people who came to
the Australian continent from Southeast Asia. More
than 40,000 years ago, when sea levels were much
lower and Australia, New Guinea and Tasmania comprised one landmass, called Sahul, the first to arrive
were a slightly-built people of pygmoid stature with
dark skin and very frizzy hair. They were Negritos
(named after the Spanish ‘little negro’), and they provided the initial population for the whole of this
Greater Australia. About 20,000 years ago, a second
type of people arrived from Asia. These newcomers,
called Murrayians, were comparatively lightly skinned,
wavy-haired, stocky in build, with a lot of body hair.
They drove the Negritos before them until the latter retreated to the highlands of New Guinea, the rainforests
of North Queensland and to then ice-capped Tasmania.
The Murrayians became the dominant population on
the east coast of Australia, and the open grasslands and
parklands of the south and west of the continent. Then,
about 15,000 years ago, a third wave of hunter-gatherers arrived. They were comparatively tall, straighthaired and dark skinned, with very little body hair.
Named Carpentarians, they colonised northern and
central Australia.” The extinction of the Australian

Western anthropologists also use the term Negrillo

University of Padua in Italy examined hereditary material in cells found that modern humans followed a migration wave from Africa to Asia thousands of years

AQUARIUS - january 20 - February 18
Aquarius – The Sweetheart
Optimistic and honest. Sweet personality. Very independent. Inventive and intelligent. Friendly and loyal.
Can seem unemotional. Can be a bit rebellious. Very
stubborn, but original and unique. Attractive on the inside and out. Eccentric personality.
Amethyst is the stone for the month of February
In the Middle Ages Amethyst was thought to encourage
celibacy, and as a result became important in the ornamentation of churches. Amethyst, according to Leonardo
Da Vinci, is able to increase intelligence and dissolve evil
thoughts. Catherine the great was very fond of amethysts.
They adorn the British Crown Jewels and were coveted
by Egyptian royalty. Rosaries in Tibet are often made
from amethyst, a gemstone considered to be sacred to
Buddha. Ancient Greeks believed amethyst would protect
against drunkenness (“amethystas” is a greek word meaning “not drunken”) and therefore carved wine goblets
from it. Amethyst is believed to purify the mind, increase
tranquility and alleviate anxiety.
February 8th

without much effort because of you keen memory. You
are very practical and not inclined to take things for
granted in you home, business or in love. You are capable of a deep and lasting love but hesitate to accept
others at their apparent worth.

Unmarked Graves
TULSA, Oklahoma (CNN)
Beulah Smith and Kenny Booker, Two Elderly Oklahomans, Lived through one of the
Worst Race Riots in U.S.. History, a rarely
mentioned 1921 Tulsa Blood Bath that officially took Thousands of African-American
Lives.
The Tulsa Race Riot Commission, formed
two years ago to determine exactly what happened, will consider next week the Controversial Issue of what, if any, Reparations should be
paid to the Known Survivors of the Riot,
A Group of less than 100 that includes Beulah
Smith, now 92, and Kenny Booker, 86.
'The Gun Went Off, The Riot Was On'
On the Night of May 31,1921, mobs called
for the lynching of Dick Rowland,A Black Man
who shined shoes, after hearing reports that on
the previous day he had assaulted Sarah Page,A
white woman, in the elevator she operated in a
downtown building.
Congressman Fattah urges college
students and families: get ready to
file your Education Tax Credit
WASHINGTON D.C.,
Congressman Chaka Fattah (D-PA-02), principal
sponsor for The American
Opportunity Tax Credit
(AOTC), urges college
students and their families
to start gathering documents on their college expenses for 2012 so they
can file for this important
tax credit designed to
make higher education
more affordable.
The AOTC, introduced
and adopted as part of
President Obama’s recovery program in 2009, provides up to $2,500 per year
as a refundable tax credit
for tuition, textbooks, fees
and other higher education
expenses for working families, low and middle income students.
“The American Opportunity Tax Credit has
helped put college education within the reach of
millions of students who
would otherwise face significant financial hardship,” said Fattah, a leader
in Congress for educational opportunity and equity. “I am pleased that the
strides we have made toward increasing college affordability will continue.”
In its first year the
AOTC assisted 12.5 million students with tax credits totaling $14 billion for
meeting their college expenses, with similar benefits in ensuing years. That
record of success led Congress to extend the credit
for an additional five years
– until 2017 - as part of the
so-called “fiscal cliff” legislation approved earlier
this month.
A Local Newspaper, had printed a Fabricated
Story that Rowland tried to Rape Page. In An
Editorial, the same newspaper said a Hanging
was Planned for that Night. As Groups of both
Blacks and Whites converged on the Tulsa
Courthouse, a White Man in the Crowd Confronted an armed Black Man,A War Veteran,
who had joined with other Blacks to protect
Rowland.
A Fabricated Newspaper Story Triggered
The Violent Riots that left Hundreds, if not
Thousands, Dead.
Comm. Member Eddie Faye Gates told CNN
what happened next.
"This White Man," she said, Asked The Black
Man, "What Are You Doing With This Gun?"
"I'm going to use it if I have to," the Black Man
said, according to Gates, "and (the White Man)
said, 'No, you're not. Give it to me,' and he tried
to take it. The gun went off, the White Man was
Dead, The Riot Was On."
Truckloads of Whites Set Fires and Shot
Blacks on sight. When the smoke lifted the
Next Day, more than 1,400 Homes and Businesses in Tulsa's Greenwood District, a prosperous area known as the " Black Wall Street," lay
in ruins.
Today, only a single block of the Original
Buildings remains standing in the area. Experts
now estimate that at least 3,000, Died.
'We're in a heck of a lot of trouble' Beulah
Smith was 14 yrs. old the Night of the Riot. A
Neighbor named Frenchie came pounding on
her family's door in a Tulsa neighborhood
known as "Little Africa " that also went up in
flames.
"Get your families out of here because

they're, Killing Niggers Uptown," she remembers Frenchie saying. "We hid in the weeds in
the Hog Pen," Smith told CNN.
People in a Mob that came to Kenny Booker's
house asked, "Nigger, Do You Have A Gun?"
he told CNN. Booker, then a teen-ager, hid with
his family in their attic until the home was
torched. "When we got downstairs, things were
burning. My sister asked me, 'Kenny, is the
World on Fire?' I said, 'I don't know, but we're
in a heck of a lot of trouble, baby."
Another Riot Survivor,
Ruth Avery, who was 7 at the time, gives an
account matched by others who told of bombs
dropped from small airplanes passing overhead.
The Explosive Devices may have been Dynamite or Molotov Cocktails -- Gasoline-Filled
Bottles set afire and thrown as grenades.
"They'd throw it down and when it'd hit, it
would burst into flames," Avery said.
Only A single block remains of the 1,400
Homes and Businesses that made up the area
known as the ' Black Wall Street '. Unmarked
Graves many of the Survivors "mentioned Bodies were stacked like cord wood, says Richard
Warner of the Tulsa Historical Society.
In its search for the facts,The Commission
has literally been trying to dig up the truth. Two
Headstones at Tulsa's Oaklawn Cemetery indicate that riot victims are buried there. In an effort to determine how many, archeological
experts in May used ground-piercing radar and
other equipment to test the soil in a search for
Unmarked Graves. The test picked up indications that hundreds, of people have been buried
in an area just outside the cemetery.

Real Talk
with Will Smith
and Sister Souljah took place
last Saturday
February 2nd at
The Temple
Performing Arts
Center Broad
and Pollock.
Hundreds came
out to talk about
family and community issues. Will, was also seen at the 76ers
basketball game along with his partner, Charlie
Mack. Good to have Will back home for a visit.
Last week was the beginning of the new sitcom filmed right here in Philadelphia, called, "Do No
Harm" on NBC at 10pm. It seems like everyone is getting a shot at acting locally, I heard Jerry Wells, formerly
of WDAS was an extra on the show. He was seen in the
background dressed like a doctor in scrubs. The sitcom is
the story of a doctor who has two personalities. At 8:30
p.m. he become his alter ego who is destine to make the
doctor’s life a mess. I liked it check it out.
Throughout the month of February, the National Constitution Center is paying tribute to the extraordinary
achievements made by African Americans throughout
history as they strived to become recognized as an integral part of “We the People.” On February 3, visitors enjoyed free access to the museum, including the Center’s
main exhibition The Story of We the People, the awardwinning multimedia presentation Freedom Rising, and
the iconic Signers’ Hall, as well as the feature exhibition
American Spirits: The Rise and Fall of Prohibition.
Guests were in awe over the interactive programs, rare
artifacts, and more as part of the Center’s African American History Month Celebration. Artifacts highlighting
important moments in African American history include
a copy of the first printing of the Dred Scott Decision
from 1857; a rare printing of the Emancipation Proclamation, signed by President Abraham Lincoln; and the
pen used by President Lyndon B. Johnson’s to sign the
Voting Rights Act.
The 21st Annual African American Children's Book
Fair will be held this Saturday, February 9, 2013, 1:003:00PM, Community College of Philadelphia, 17th
Spring Garden Street, Philadelphia, PA. The event is free
and opened to the public.
The Book Fair started out on a cold frosty day at John
Wanamaker Department Store. Sounds like the beginning
of a novel. But today is it one of the oldest and largest
single day events for African American Children's Books
in the region. On average over 3,500 people attend the
event each year.
With a reported double digit illiteracy rate in the region, our success is due to the fact that we offer the best
and the brightest from the multi-cultural literary community; books that enlighten enrich and empower the young
citizens in our community.
Parents, caregivers, and educators from the tri-state
SCOOP U.S.A. - Friday, Friday, February 8, 2013 - 7
area are very supportive of the event because they understand that children who read make more responsible decisions about their lifestyles.
Over 21 nationally known bestselling authors/illustrators will participate. Many have won the American Library Association Coretta Scott King award. Some of the
confirmed participants are James Ransome, Lesa ClineRansome, Deborah Gregory, Eric Velasquez, Shadra
Strickland, David Miller, Elizabeth Zunon, Marilyn Nelson, Alice Randall, Caroline Randall Williams, Jabari
Asim, Regina Brooks, Floyd Cooper, Nancy Devard,
Glennette Tilly Turner, David Miller, Kekla Magoo,
Olugbemisola Rhuday-Perovich, Renee Watson and Jerry
Craft. These authors/illustrators have written some of the
best books of our generation.
The afternoon is packed with activities that promote
the power and joy of reading. Authors and illustrators
will make presentations from their books. The Literary
Row distributes book related promotional materials free
of charges. Our Educator’s book-giveaway distributes
brand new books to teachers and librarian to use in their
classrooms.
The Charles L. Blockson Afro-American Collection,
Temple University Libraries cordially is holding an Author's Talk & Book Signing for the publication:
“Envisioning Emancipation: Black Americans and the
End of Slavery(Temple University Press, 2012)” by Deborah Willis and Barbara Krauthamer. The book is garnering rave reviews and copious attention from the likes of
Publishers Weekly and The New York Times. In their pioneering book, the authors have amassed 150 photographs-some never before published-from the antebellum
days of the 1850s through the New Deal era of the 1930s.
The authors vividly display the seismic impact of emancipation on African Americans born before and after the
Proclamation, providing a perspective on freedom and
slavery and a way to understand the photos as documents
of engagement, action, struggle, and aspiration.
The event will be February 8, 2013 at 3:00 p.m., held
in Mitten Hall, Great Court -- 913 North Broad Street,
Philadelphia, PA 19122 adjacent to Sullivan Hall

Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® Presents “Built
To Amaze!”, at the Wells Fargo Center from Wednesday,
February 13 through Sunday, February 17. This year’s
show is expected to be as amazing as previous years. But
this year the crowd will be entertained during its pre
opening by a young lady who is happy to have this opportunity.
Twenty-six-year-old Ashley Vargas will be dazzling
the crowd prior to the show with her outgoing, multi-talented ability. Ashley Vargas was destined to be in show
business. An avid figure skater when she was younger,
Ashley envisioned herself becoming either an ice skater
with Disney On Ice or a New York City Rockette, but she
never imagined that her love of performing would lead
her to The Greatest Show On Earth!®.
“I stopped skating when I got into horses, and started
travelling. I was seeing a guy friend whom I travelled
along with his family doing horse tricks and performing
for the Italian Circus in Italy.” It was from this experience that landed Ashley the opportunity to work with
Ringling Bros. doing a horse act. “The experience was
great and apparently I made a good impression because I
was called me back to host the pre show (an hour before
the circus begin). “My job is to get the crowd pumped up
and ready for a night of entertainment show.”
What makes Ashley’s job so exception is the position
is usually held by a gentlemen or clowns. But with the
help and training for the Ringmaster Andre McClain,
Ashley can’t go wrong.
Ashley said, “As a kid I never thought that I would be
in a circus. I always loved the circus but never knew how
anyone would get into it. And with the help of my family,
friends and mentors they helped me to make this transition. This is a little girls dream come true and I am enjoying it, I am happy about the path that I chose.”
Even though Ashley is not skating in the show she is
busy doing a lot of other things horse tricks, stunts and
having fun. There are a lot of venues that I am able to
utilize with the company from doing also voiceovers to
circus acts. It is the best,” she said.
There are 110 performers in the show which travels to
17 countries. There are 90 different animals and great
performers from Russia and all over. It is like a big family, we have barbecues and we learn about different cultures and we go to different cities from Morocco, France

Shelly Williams receives Will Smith Award Book Fair
Continued from page 7
SCOOP’s own Shelly Williams was honored with the Will Smith Award at Philadelphia's
premiere Hip Hop event presented by Urban Celebrity Magazine and AllFlamerz.. The 2012
Award show was held at the legendary Theater of Living arts (atTLAPhilly) on South. St.
Pictured standing in support with Shelly Williams (center) are Roc Star P, Carol Petra

to Brazil, Argentina and Cuba. It is a true educational
experience.
Raised in Tampa, Florida, Ashley and her parents,
Sandi and Hermes, along with her younger brother,
Nicholas, made it a tradition to attend performances of
Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey®. Ashley had always loved the circus; she was particularly fond of the
flying trapeze and the animals.
Her attraction and love of animals is what eventually
led Ashley to becoming a circus performer herself.
Gaining the horses trust and learning how to properly
care for them was the first thing Ashley had to learn in
order to be able to work with the horses. Practicing for
several hours a day, she slowly worked her way into the
act performing graceful moves on top of galloping horses
In 2011, Ashley and the troupe briefly filled in for an
act during Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® Presents ZING ZANG ZOOM, Gold Edition.
“I believe in learning about life through experiences. I
love the challenge of trying new things and I thoroughly
enjoy being around animals. It’s an amazing feeling to
work so closely with an animal that also puts trust in
you,” explains Ashley.
Ashley is excited to be a part of Ringling Bros. and
Barnum & Bailey® Presents Built To Amaze!SM in her
new role as the Preshow Host and animal presenter.

Down Black History Memory Lane
Toby Rich
This week’s rap from the
Mayor of Girard Avenue,
Toby Rich takes us down
Black History Memory
Lane. Let’s see how far we
have come from the first
year that the month of February was graced with the honor of being Black
History Month. Well, we do have an African
American President. That is something that I did not believe I would see in my lifetime. You see, I still remember the white only rest rooms, water fountains and being
restricted to the balcony in the movie theatre.
Recently I had a speaking engagement on Martin
Luther King, Jr. Day and the young folks could not really
believe what I was telling them. It was just too much for
them to bear when I told them that my aunt saw a black
person hanging from a tree and that the song “Strange
Fruit” sung by Ms. Billie Holiday was about lynching. At
that point, I realized that our young folks do respect us.
It’s just that it is hard for them to believe that anybody
could be that mean to someone only because of the color
of their skin. It’s hard for some white folks to believe because they really don’t understand why things were the
way they were.
It was a different time. Think about it? What do you
think that someone living in 1930, 40, 50 or 60 would
think about a young man wearing their pants down so
that you could see their underwear or a phone with no
wires or a computer? There are so many things today
that would be hard to accept in our past. But most importantly, what would people like Martin Luther King, Jr.,

Malcolm X and Emmit Till think about today’s young
folks taking something like voting for granted after
everything they suffered through? I know that folks get
sick and tired of hearing about the past and what happened and how folks suffered but history is a teaching
that helps you prevent the past from happening again.
There was good and bad on both sides because not all
white folks were bad and for sure not all black folks were
good. Let’s all remember one thing – right is right and
wrong is wrong no matter who you are. So for at least
this Black History Month, let’s make a promise to stay
away from what is wrong.
For some reason I cannot get the job site to come up so
you will have to wait until next week or go to the site
yourself – www.indeed.com. I will keep on trying because I know that anybody that wants to work will want
to look for a job to be able to take charge of your financial life.
As for entertainment, a play about being a Bully is
going on at the Martin Luther King Center from 1 p.m.
until 4 p.m. at 22nd and Cecil B. Moore. The Philadelphia Association of Former Gang Members and Friends
recommends this play as something that one should see
for many reasons. So if you have the time, go and be entertained.
Also for your entertainment, the Summersville Fathers
and Mothers Committee will have an event at Treasures
in March but for exact information call Count at 215873-6000; Old Head – 267-339-2515; Screw 215-8814397; Sherman 267-679-0620 and Grant 267-581-2301. I
don’t know if you may remember, but these are folks that
some from the community that State Rep. Mr. David P.
Richardson was from and they wear that badge with a lot
of honor. In the sixties, people like David Richardson and
Mother Falaka Fattah along with her husband David
helped to bring gang war to an end in Philly. No more
gang war in 1974. These were the people that gave us
hope and ideas that those in a gang could do other things
and that we all could become productive parts of American society and help out with City Community politics.
And while we are speaking about people that help out
communities, many of my readers would like to know
what happened to Brother Michael Baisden? Why is he
no longer heard on the radio in Philly? Some seem to
think that Mr. Baisden was cut loose because of Mr. Butterball’s passing. Let’s hope not. Let’s find out the truth.
Come on Philly, put your people power to work -- especially for someone that was really about helping people.
With love honor and respect from your Mayor of Girard
Avenue, Toby Rich. Peace.

10 Foods That Can Enhance Your Skin and Hair
and 5 Anti-Aging Foods to Firm Up Your Skin
claudelle evans
You eat a healthy diet regularly choosing natural
foods, so why not follow
suit with your beauty routine? Many foods that are
healthy to eat also offer
powerful benefits for your
skin and hair and they've
found their way into a wide
variety of beauty products.
"A lot of chemicals can
cause irritation, while natural ingredients tend to be absorbed well and contain actual antioxidants and enzymes in their purest, most potent
form," says Deborah Longwill, MD, a dermatologist at
the Miami Center for Dermatology. Check out these natural ingredients that can aid your beauty regimen.
Turmeric
This fragrant herb, most commonly used in Indian curries, is also prized for its anti-inflammatory properties.
Turmeric has long been used to treat eczema and is
known to speed wound healing. Recent research suggests
that turmeric may also help firm aging skin and it's the
star ingredient in some natural skin creams. A rich golden
yellow, turmeric is also used as a fabric dye, but don't
worry the hue won't transfer to your skin.
Oatmeal
The buzz about this popular breakfast food usually focuses on its cholesterol-lowering effects, though if you
stop there, you're selling this "superfood" short. Oatmeal
can also soothe rashes and irritations caused by poisonous plants, such as poison ivy and oak, as well as pain
and itching caused by chicken pox and sunburn, Simply
sprinkle some dry oatmeal into a lukewarm bath and soak
for 10 minutes. Because of its grainy texture, oatmeal is
also ideal for gentle skin exfoliation: Mix with warm
water, apply to your face with circular motions, let dry
for 10 to 15 minutes, then rinse off.
Olive Oil
Olive oil has been revered for centuries as a natural
moisturizer, and with good reason. “Olive oil is ultrahydrating,” says Dr. Longwill. It creates a barrier that protects dry skin and is particularly helpful for people who
have psoriasis or eczema. Use it straight from the bottle
yes, the same olive oil you use to make healthy salad
dressings to slather on after a shower. Or try it as a homemade hair treatment for split ends. “Hair follicles absorb
olive oil nicely,” says Longwill. You can find olive oil in
numerous skin and hair care products, including soaps,
facial washes, moisturizers, shampoos, and conditioners.
Honey
Known as nature’s sweetener, honey is also Mother
Nature’s antiseptic it has been proven to help speed the
healing of wounds and superficial burns. Because it kills
bacteria, Longwill recommends products that contain

honey to her patients with acne. In addition, honey is an
effective skin moisturizer. Look for honey in lip balms,
soaps, and moisturizers, among other skin care products
Pumpkin
“As we progress into our forties, fifties, and beyond,
our skin cells turn over less frequently, causing a duller
appearance,” says Longwill. That’s where pumpkin can
help. It contains an enzyme that gently peels away dead
skin, speeding the production of new cells. In addition,
pumpkin is rich in essential fatty acids, which hydrate the
skin, and the antioxidant vitamins A and C, which fight
free radicals that can age skin. Look for pumpkin products in facial and body peels and in treatments for the
hair and scalp.
Salmon
While you would never apply salmon directly to your
face or body, cold-water fish like salmon contain DMAE,
short for dimethylaminoethanol, a compound that helps
rejuvenate skin. You can get the benefits of DMAE by
eating cold-water fish or by applying it to your skin by
means of creams and moisturizers, says Longwill. Products that contain DMAE are thought to help firm skin and
reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Seaweed
Seaweed is a popular skin care ingredient across the
globe, especially in Japan and France. It’s rich in vitamins, minerals, and amino acids and is thought to have a
host of cosmetic benefits, including reducing inflammation and irritation, cleansing, firming, and softening. Because seaweed is also thought to help improve
circulation, it’s a key ingredient in many cellulite-reducing creams and is used in detoxifying body wraps at spas.
Several varieties of seaweed are used in skin care products
Green Tea
The many health benefits of drinking green tea are
widely known it can help reduce cholesterol and may
protect against certain cancers and glaucoma. When applied to your skin, green tea is a potent antioxidant that
helps skin retain moisture and reduces the appearance of
wrinkles, says Longwill. Look for green tea in facial and
body washes, masks, and moisturizers. For a refreshing
treat, apply green tea bags dampened with cold water to
your eyes for 10 to 15 minutes.
Aloe
Aloe, which is instantly cooling and soothing, has been
used medicinally for years to heal light burns, including
those caused by the sun and certain chemicals. Its gel
provides a barrier that protects against irritants and bacteria, and it hydrates and reduces inflammation, says Longwill. For the most potent burn relief. Break a piece
straight from a plant and squeeze the gel directly onto the
burn. Moisturizers and other products that contain aloe
are generally nonirritating, so they are a good choice for

Acai
The benefits of this trendy berry are not just hype. Acai
berries, found in the Amazon jungle, contain a high concentration of antioxidants, vitamins, and essential fatty
acids. When this superfood is added to moisturizers, it
may help neutralize oxidative stress and protect skin
against signs of sun damage. In addition, acai is known
to reduce fine lines and wrinkles and to even out skin
tone.

Dr. Ackerman’s too short tenure in Philadelphia. I was a
part of a committee of people that met to try and fight to
keep Dr. Ackerman in Philadelphia. Unfortunately I think
it was too little, too late to help her.
On her way out of Philadelphia, yes Dr. Ackerman
fought to be paid according to her level of expertise and
for all that she brought to education in Philly. She wanted
to be compensated just like the white men who held the
position (most recently), before her. I personally stood by
Dr. Ackerman’s decision to fight for proper and equal
compensation upon her unasked for “retirement”. Some
said she was wrong for asking for all the money she
asked for. I feel she was right. I know Philadelphia public
schools are struggling financially right now and have
been in a bad financial state for years before Dr. Arlene
Ackerman ever came to Philly. By principle, yes she
should have gotten the same compensation deal that Paul
Vallas and other former CEO’s receive. I am so sorry that
she is gone and again, my condolences to the family. Dr.
Ackerman was also my sister in Alpha Kappa Alpha
Sorority.

Black History
Month is a time
when we as
African Americans tell who we
are as individuals
and as a race of
people. It was
founded by the
great historian
Carter G. Woodson as a week
long celebration,
it now takes in
the whole month
of February and
it is my hope and prayer that we will not limit
the celebration of our history to one month because we make history everyday. It is a time
men we give our children knowledge of their
past. It is a time when we celebrate our
achievements in a country which has tried to
keep us from achieving. It is a time when we
present ourselves to the world, so that humanity will
know and can see what God has done in the past, what he
is doing in the present and what he will do in the future
to liberate us, His people, in this land which caused our
fore parents to sing: "Sometimes I Feel Like A Motherless Child!"
h
P
If you think that we are free, you better think again.
God has told us that we shall be free and this I believe.
Sane folks feel we shall never be free, but the Word of
God, the Spirit of Truth and the pages of History say,
"That's a lie that cannot stand." As long as God gives us
strength we should keep on striving and as President
John F. Kennedy said, "We shall pay any price, bear any
burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, and oppose any foe to assure the survival and success of liberty."
Through the years, Mother America, has tried to tell us
that we are nobody. But through the power of the Holy
Spirit our eyes were opened and we realized that Everybody is Somebody because we are all made by God and
stamped with dignity and worth. You see, God never did
and never will make junk. We too have helped to build
America. We too sing, "God Bless America." Yes, we
too believe that all men are created equal; that they are
endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights;
that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of
Happiness." We want complete freedom in America, like
everyone else.
Sometimes our efforts seem in vain because we have in
the past and still today go through unearned bloody sweat
and tears. But we must always remember as Fredrick
Douglass told us, "If there is no struggle, there is no
progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet
deprecate agitation are men who want crops without

GreatPhillySchools.org
presents ratings and information to help parents,
caregivers and students to
search and compare over
400 public and private
schools. Each school is
assigned 1-to-10 ratings –
top-performing schools
earn a rating of 10 – in up
to five categories and in
overall quality. The site
also includes descriptive
information for each
school, including mission,
accreditations, admissions
policy, and special programs, such as music, arts,
sports and language offerings.
PSP is actively seeking
partners in this outreach
campaign and encourages
potential partners to contact info@greatphillyschools.org to get
involved. GreatPhillySchools.org will be

basis as users continue to
submit feedback on their
experience and as additional content and newer
data becomes available.

plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder
and lighting. They want the ocean without the awful roar
of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one, or
it may be a physical one, or it may be both moral and
physical; but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without demand. It never did and never will . . . Men
may not get all they pay for in this world, but they must
certainly pay for all they get." With this in mind let us
forever push forward and never give up. "For the race
doesn't go to the swift nor the battle to the battle to the
strong but to he who endures until the end." And endure
we must. For we owe this to our ancestors, ourselves but
most of all we owe this to our children.
Yes, our struggle has been rough and it will always be
rough because there is nothing free about freedom. But if
we keep the faith we shall see that our labor is not in
vain. For I don't believe the Lord God Almighty has
brought us this far to leave us. You see, I've come to realization that we must go through the Wilderness in order
to reach the "Promised Land." And the Promised Land
we shall see because one day God allowed Martin Luther
King, Jr. to go to the mountain top. While he was there
he looked over and saw the Promised Land and told us,
"I might not get there with you, but we as people will get
to the Promised Land!
I don't know about you, but deep in my heart, I still believe we shall overcome.
So with Hope let us celebrate our culture and history
and always remember, People without knowledge of their
past are like trees without roots.

New to Electronic Payments?
Social security
patrick l. robinson, sr.
Beginning March
1, with few exceptions, all federal
benefits, including
Social Security and
Supplemental Security Income
(SSI) benefits, are
to be paid electronically. That’s according to a rule
from the U.S. Department of the
Treasury. For years, Social Security
has stressed the convenience, security, and
safety of getting benefit payments electronically, offering peace of mind that your payment will arrive on time, even in the event of
natural disasters or being away from home when the
check is in the mail. Electronic payments (direct deposit or Direct Express) are not only the best way to
receive federal benefit payments — for most people,
starting in March, they are the only way. The truth is,
for most people getting monthly benefits, this isn’t re-

ally a change at all. That’s because more than 9 out of
ten individuals who receive benefits from Social Security already receive payments electronically. If you
get your payments the old-fashioned way and electronic payments are new to you, here are some things
you may want to know about your future payments.
Electronic payments are safer: there’s no risk of
checks being lost or stolen; Electronic payments are
easy and reliable: there’s no need to wait for the mail
or go to the bank to cash a check; Electronic payments
World History
Southeast Asia (Vietnam, Cambodia, Burma and Thailand, Java, Sumatra, Malaya, Korea, Japan) followed
by Australoid and Melanesian Negritos and Papuans.
Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines, and most of
the islands of the Pacific developed their own isolated
cultures and native beliefs but were not affected by literate civilization until the arrival of sailing vessels in
the 16th Century. Pygmies from Africa are referred to
as ‘Negrillos.’ Pygmies who live in South East Asia,
New Guinea and The Philippines are referred to as
‘Negritos.’” http://www.stewartsynopsis.com/Synopsis%206.htm
Our African ancestors populated the planet at a time
when Caucasians didn’t even exist! When Caucasians
finally emerged they were insignificant in the flow of
human history except as barbaric wanderers and invaders. Now Europeans, the Johnny Come Lately of
humanity have distorted, colonized and monopolized
world historiography to the point they claim no one but
them has contributed to human progress!? The truth is
much of what they claim they’ve done they actually
plagiarized and stole from Africans, Asians and other
indigenous people, except for their incessant invasion,
pillage and plunder!
We are in a monumental war for our psyches and
truth. Our enemies thrive on falsehoods and lies. We
are the only ones responsible for decolonizing our
minds, freeing ourselves from mental slavery and ending our oppression. TO think one who lies to himself
about himself would tell our truth is foolish, so do not
depend on Europeans to tell our story. This is why
Black History Month (year century) is so important!
With the Internet there is no excuse for ignorance. In
1995 I met a brother named O.K. Owusu who had just
created an astonishing, fully documented, fact based
chart displaying every continent on the planet and
tracked human development and progress on each land
are good for the environment: they save paper and
eliminate transportation costs; and finally; Electronic
payments save taxpayers money to the tune of $120
million per year: there are no costs for postage, paper,
and printing; and Electronic payments could save you
money on check-cashing and bank fees. Please visit
www.GoDirect.org today to learn more about getting
your Social Security and SSI payments the safe, easy,
inexpensive, and green way — electronically. And rest
assured that on payment delivery day, you won’t have
to wait for your money; your money is already in the
bank and ready for you to use.

After much hard work, success arrives in an educational, legal or publishing venture. It’s easy now to see
the big picture and make long range plans. Best numbers 3
and 1.
TAURUS - April 20 - May 20
It’s time to let go of old projects that didn’t fly
and cut your losses. A money partner comes through. An old
love comes back in your life. Magic’s about to occur! Best
numbers 9 and 8.
GEMINI - May 21 - june 21
A special favor from a VIP brightens the financial picture. Your talents are recognized. A transportation
problem will be solved in an ingenious way. Best numbers
9 and 1.
CANCER - june 22 - july 22
You operate best behind the scenes, using influence to swing deals and advise in money making operations. Avoid clashes with authority figures; keep a low
profile. Best numbers 3 and 4.
LEO - july 23 - August 22
It’s time to take a deep breath and practice asking for what you want. After an adequate rehearsal time go
for it. You may have limited yourself by short term thinking.
Best numbers 4 and 6.
VIRGO - August 23 - September 22
A domestic move maybe on the agenda; your intuition is powerful, providing clues as to direction. You’ll
also be intent or solving a conflict between private and public life. Best numbers 6 and 0.
LIBRA - September 23 - October 22
The career actions you take are good, courageous
and beneficial, if you aren’t acting in a hasty manner. Think
things through; when it comes to love you have the upper
hand. Best numbers 2 and 4.
SCORPIO - October 23 - November 21
Ordinarily you’re as organized as anyone could
get, but you could be prone to an impulsive waste of energy
applied to the wrong things. Is it possible your predetermined thoughts are wrong? Best numbers 0 and 1.
SAGITTARIUS - November 22 - Dececember 21
Your local area hums with activity and that
Sagittarius ability to communicate gets a workout. You’ll
be restless to travel, but will profit by sticking around and
reaping career benefits. Best numbers 8 and 3.
CAPRICORN -December 22 - january 19
There’s heavy emphasis on financial matters. Curb impulsive spending; what looks like a bargain
may not be. Wait until next week to make any major money
decisions. Best numbers 2 and 9.
AQUARIUS - january 20 - February 18
Broad concepts you gain from expanded fields
of interest will alter your thinking in vital
ways. A loved one’s faith in you will be an inspiration. Best
numbers 1 and 7.
PISCES - February 19 - March 20
Compromise could save a lot of frustration if
the problem is basically about your need to juggle career
and personal interests. Somehow you have to get others to
respect your needs. Best numbers 5 and 4.
