The Afro-American, June 18, 2016 - June 24, 2016
On June 11, children, parents, teachers, and students came out to see the high-flying antics by The Harlem Wizards basketball team at Coppin State University in Baltimore. The entertainment started with a small introduction accompanied by jokes, and basketball tricks. As the Harlem Wizards competed against the “B-more All-Stars,” a team made up of faculty and staff members from local elementary and middle schools, they took selfies with the crowd, did flashy dunks and entertained the kid-friendly audience. It was a fun evening as the Harlem Wizards also, competed against a few people from the crowd, then later, giving away many prizes and letting the kids show off their dances moves. TheAFRO was one of the many sponsors of the event.

he long-awaited reopening of the Lillie Carroll Jackson Civil Rights Museum took place on June 11 in Baltimore with a ribbon cutting ceremony in front of a large crowd of Jackson-Mitchell family members, Morgan State University faculty, staff, alumni and political leaders. Dr. David Wilson, president of Morgan State University, welcomed the community leaders and discussed the importance of the living museum and highlighted the life and legacy of its namesake, Dr. Lillie Carroll Jackson, a former Baltimore Chapter NAACP president and civil rights activist. “Dr. Jackson’s participation in Baltimore’s Civil Rights Movement was vital to initiating significant change, and we’re proud to share that history with the world, introducing her contributions to a new generation of museum goers,” said Dr. Wilson.
