Noteworthy: In the news Today

If you have not had a change to check out the hate Crime story in the corner here is some additional commentary on the story.


Charlie Braxton: Another Mississippi Murder: What The Killing Of James C. Anderson Teaches Us:

The vicious killing of James Anderson is but another name on a long list of racially motivated deaths (including Emmit Till, Medger Evers, Vernon Dahmer and Mack Charles Parker) that took place in the Great State of Mississippi. James Craig Anderson's death should remind us that racism is still alive and well not just in Mississippi but all over. As my grandmother used to say, "You can change signs overnight, you can change laws overnight, but you can't change people's hearts overnight." There are White people who secretly feel the exact same way Dedmon and his friends feel about African-Americans and people of color.
