JSU students participate in ‘Hands up/Walk out’ Jacob L. Reddix office complex. Freshman Justin Roach, a Jackson, Miss. native and industrial technology major said, “It felt like I was being a part of history. I am a member of our chapter of NAACP and when I heard about the protest I knew this was something I needed to be a part of to make a difference.” Some protestors stood as others lay on the ground while a moment of silence was held for four minutes to symbolize how long Michael Brown laid on the ground after being shot and killed Photo: Reese Tornes by Wilson.

MEXICAN STUDENTS HOSTED AT JSU CAMPUS Jackson State University is hosting 43 students from Hidalgo, Mexico, through its International Programs’ English as a Second Language Institute. “This is a part of a larger initiative by the United States and Mexico to develop a 21st century workforce for the mutual economic prosperity of both countries,” said Dr. Priscilla Slade, special assistant to the provost for academic and student affairs. “The International Programs Office at JSU is proud to play a role in this effort.” Visiting through Dec. 15, the students are from the Universidad Tecnologica de la Huasteca Hidalguense. They arrived Nov. 17. International Programs is participating in Proyecta 100,000, an initiative between the United States and the government of

Proyecta 100,000 proposes the multiplication of bi-national research and innovation centers, language teaching and the promotion of exchange opportunities. Proyecta also complements President Obama’s initiative, 100,000 Strong in the Americas, which seeks to send 100,000 U.S. students to study to Latin American universities and vice versa. International Programs is honored to participate in this project that will build a strong relationship between Jackson State University and various universities in Mexico,” said Shirley Harrison, interim director of International Programs.

Opinion
“Do you feel that the Ferguson grand jury decision not to indict Darren Wilson was correct?” Why or Why not?
Compiled by Deon Butler and William Kelly
Delafonte Armstrong Freshman Music Technology Chicago, Ill.
“No, I saw the video of the friend who witnessed the shooting and he stated that the officer cursed at them, which shows how cops overuse their power. ”
Ilona Zaishhuk Freshman Mass Communications Ukraine Chemerivtsi
“I think that police officers need to be responsible for their actions on or off duty. The decision was not fair; if you do something you must face the consequences. ”
Makayla Brown Freshman Marketing Chicago, Ill.
“After I heard more detail I felt the cop had more reason because he was scared. People should listen to cops because they can shoot if they feel threatened.”

Jackson State students, What do you stand for? COMMENTARY
Marshaun Tatum Freshman Criminal Justice Atlanta, Ga.
“No because the decision should’ve been handled as if the officer was a normal criminal because he committed the crime.”
Timothy Moffett Freshman Therapeutic Rec. New Orleans, La.
“There have been different stories that I’ve heard about it but I don’t think the final decision was fair at all. ”
Nia Tabb Freshman Marketing St. Louis, Mo.
“I feel the decision wasn’t correct. I am from Ferguson and even though we knew they weren’t going to indict him, we still hoped for justice and peace.”
Jeremiah Cazenave Freshman Education Dallas, Texas
Eric Brea Junior Civil Engineering Barcelona, Spain
Nicholas Nooks Freshman Accounting New Orleans, La.
Yasmeen Robinson Sophomore Biology Pre-Med Michigan
Modesty Woodward Sophomore Comm. Disorders Gulfport, Miss.
Josef Wills Junior Biology Pre-Pharmacy East St. Louis, Ill.
“No, but both men were wrong in a way and there were things that both men could have done to make the situation better.”
“No, because all the evidence says that the officer was in the wrong, and he should be paying for it.”
“I don’t think it was correct. The officer shot the victim and his actions were unnecessary. Therefore, the officer should go through the correct judicial process.”
“No I believe the decision was very bias. The world will never grow if the judicial system continues to make unfair decisions.”
“No, I think it was not right it was not equal.”
“The band is the only group that has the most school spirit.”
Taylor Bembery Associate Editor Due to high number of African-American deaths from police encounters, there has been one question many people are asking across the world: Do black lives matter? Since the grand jury decision in Ferguson, Mo. of no indictment for Darren Wilson, a white police officer that fatally shot unarmed black teen Michael Brown, there has been a worldwide movement for justice. Now as a journalist, I have to look at this case from both spectrums and play the devil’s advocate. As a human, the situations we put ourselves in usually end positively or negatively depending on our conflict resolution. How do we know that Brown wasn’t a neighborhood terror or did not follow the police officers instructions? Why was only this young man gunned down and not his friend Dorian Johnson, whom Brown was with at the time. Was there something Brown did differently? Do not get me wrong, I am not siding with Darren Wilson in any way. His procedure was not the best because as we all know Brown was unarmed and did not
deserve to die. As a young adult (of any race), I know we may act differently around our friends. To his family, Brown might have been a respectful high school graduate that was on his way to college and could do no wrong. To his friends, he might have been somebody cool to hang out and used his large stature as power. Let’s be real, it’s time to start looking at the bigger picture and start having accountability in our actions. Even though we would like to think that the justice systems are fair, clearly they are not in favor of minorities (particularly African-Americans). So with that being said, it is all about your actions and what you stand for. Foolish actions will put you in the position of begging for a police officer’s attention. If you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything (in this case anything meant death). We as AfricanAmericans cannot wallow in ignorance. Education is the most powerful weapon of all and it will lead us to our salvation. When is the last time you heard of an African-American male with a Ph.D. being gun downed by a police officer? Stop giving these police officers that do not care about your life a little bit of a reason to shoot you! This was once a war on civil rights for equality to vote, to equal education, and to even be able to use the same water fountain as whites, but now it has turned into a war to save black lives in 2014. I feel this war is raging because we have forgotten what our ancestors stood and fought for and this has resulted in poor choices being made. Poor choices like black on black crime, not registering to vote, not
voting at all, dropping out of school, etc. During the Civil Rights Movement, the black male was feared and eliminated, but not for foolish acts. Leaders such as Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, James Meredith, Medgar Evers, and Hank Thomas were eliminated because of their intelligence and what they stood for. Presently, some blacks are eliminating each other because they do not stand for anything. Some young people would rather stand in line for Jordan’s every other Saturday than to stand in line to vote for justice. Then they say things such as: How is protesting going to change what’s going on? Well, I’m pretty sure during the Civil Rights Movement, when FOUR black men sat in at ONE diner in Greensboro, N.C, or when ONE lady refused her seat to a white man on ONE bus in Montgomery, Ala., or when NINE students integrated ONE white school in Little Rock, Ark., or when ONE man had ONE dream in Washington, D.C., they weren’t thinking about the impact they would have made, they just did these things because they knew it was right. African-Americans have affected change in small numbers in the past just by standing for something. Don’t think that it can’t be done again but it all starts with self. We all need to ask ourselves: What do I stand for?

Jackson State goes red for Worlds AIDS Day observance
According to the Mississippi Department o f Health, Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) develops into AIDS. Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), is a serious illness that harms the body’s ability t o fight infection. HIV can be spread through sexual intercourse with a person with HIV (this includes vaginal, anal, and oral intercourse) and b y sharing needles or syringes with a person infected with HIV. I n the past, some people were infected with Photo: Taylor Bembery HIV through blood (L-R) Student Natalie Nicholson with Interdisciplinary Alcohol and Drug Studies staff transfusions or blood members Melinda Todd, Earnestine McNeal-Brown and Kandace Leflore. products. Today, that is very Taylor Bembery State University. The state of unlikely because all donors Associate Editor Mississippi ranks high in HIV/ are carefully screened and Red, the official color of AIDS reported cases. To spread all donors’ blood are tested AIDS awareness, flooded the more awareness about this before being used. foyer of the first floor of the epidemic, many agencies such as Ashley Robinson, a junior College of Liberal Arts on Planned Parenthood Southeast, English education major from My Brothers Keeper, and AIDS Jackson, Miss., was one of Dec. 1. The World AIDS Day Healthcare Foundation, gave many students that attended event was hosted by The informational literature, free this event. She said HIV/AIDS Interdisciplinary Alcohol and gifts, and contraceptives to awareness is crucial especially Drug Studies Center at Jackson students. on a college campus.
“There are people from all different ethnic backgrounds and states throughout America on college campuses. I think everyone should be sure of their status especially if they are engaging with one another, which young adults in college do. We also have a lot of people from south and west Jackson which is one of the targeted regions for most HIV and AIDS. We should take it upon ourselves to stop, get tested, to help stop the spreading of AIDS and HIV,” said Robinson. According to the 2011 CDC HIV Surveillance Report, Mississippi has the 7th highest rate of infection among adults and adolescents. There is also a 62.1 percent rate of diagnoses of HIV infection among young adults age 20 to 24 year olds. There is currently no cure for the HIV/AIDS. The practice of prevention, counseling, and awareness is the only way the epidemic is being combated. According to AIDS Healthcare Foundation, HIV/ AIDS medication can be as expensive as $1000 a day. Because the cost of these
medications are so high, many infected with the disease cannot afford treatment. The Interdisciplinary Alcohol and Drug Studies Center (IADSC) along with Project S.A.F.E at JSU have had several HIV/AIDS panel discussion prevention series throughout the fall 2014 semester. Those series and programs were implemented to bring awareness and get students comfortable with the conversation of HIV/AIDS. Kandace Leflore, a IADSC Prevention Specialist at JSU, said it is so important for students to take advantage of the resources at their university. “AIDS is definitely affecting the community and the youth and the more that they are aware and educated, they can prevent this disease,” said L ef lore All HIV/AIDS e duc at ion, pre vent ion to ols, and test ing at JSU are f re e for students.

Senior Farewell letters
Bembery and Hughes bid farewell to Jackson State me to pursue journalism because I love telling other people’s story. I have the power to give a voice to the voiceless. I have the power to document history.
Taylor Bembery Associate Editor

rowing up, I struggled with finding my passion. From piano lessons to playing the French horn, to joining the tennis and volleyball teams in high school, nothing ever worked for me. It wasn’t until my senior year of high school that I realized that journalism worked for me.
T he time has come and I
cannot believe how fast four years have gone by. Saying goodbye is always so hard and never fun. I remember so vividly the day after my high school graduation, people would ask me “what college are you going to attend?”, and I would proudly say to them, Jackson State University! Choosing Jackson State has been the best decision of my life. I have met many different people from all parts of the world, and made friendships that I am sure will last a lifetime. This is an institution of higher learning like no other and there is no experience like an HBCU experience.
I became the Editor-in-Chief of yearbook, joined the radio and television clubs, and even had my first article published in the High School Detroit Free Press. I knew that I had finally found my passion. As a journalist, it is all about being a storyteller. That’s what led
I came to Jackson State University in fall of 2010 majoring in mass communications with a concentration in multi-media journalism and a minor in English. I started off working at TV23 which wasn’t the best fit for me. I was wandering around campus for two years and I wasn’t fulfilling my purpose, but then I was brought back to the road of achieving my dreams when I started work-study at Student Publications in the fall of 2012, the first semester of my junior year. I worked my way up from a staff writer to editor rather quickly because of my industrious work ethic and dedication to the publications. Deep down, I truly believe that being the Associate Editor for The Blue & White Flash these past two years and the Managing Editor for the 20142015 eXperience Magazine has prepared me to achieve my dreams. My success would have not been possible if it wasn’t for people like Sylvia Watley and Shannon Tatum that noticed the power I had within to be great. I will never forget the very long nights that I often stayed up to six in the morning because I would

I am excited to apply all the goes into it. But that is what it essential tools I have gained takes to be a journalist and that from my dear ol’ college home to the next chapter in life. is the task I signed up for. To The Blue & White Flash, I would like to sincerely thank you for welcoming me into the “Flash Family”. I remember looking for this organization my freshman year, after I met someone who was writing for them at the time. Almost every time I saw that person, I would say “I am going to join” but I would always put it off. I even came to Blackburn just to take a look around some days, and still did not join.
take on five story assignments, even though I had loads of course work, just to make sure we had everything for the newspaper. One thing that I have learned is that my hard work has never gone unnoticed at The Blue & White Flash because of all the opportunities I have received. From winning awards for my writing in several journalism competitions, reporting at President Obama’s second inauguration in Washington D. C., and interviewing people such as, Stephen A. Smith, Magic Johnson, T. I., and many more, being at The Flash has assisted in my professional development and enhanced my matriculation at JSU. I really enjoyed my time here at this wonderful university and it has made me who I am.
and no more stealing candy out of Ms. Shannon’s desk. Even though I won’t have the privilege to be present in The Blue & White Flash office, I will FOREVER be a part of the Flash family and I’m only one phone call away. The fate of the Flash is now in the hands of Ms. Shannon, Ms. Kierra Thomas, and the current staff. I know you all will do a great job and will make me proud. I have done more than I could imagine and gone to new heights in such a short period of time but now it is time for me to start a new journey.
Lastly, I would like to thank my family. I would like thank my parents, Mike & Anita Bembery, for keeping me motivated through my college years. I really wish my father was here to see the great Now as a graduating senior with woman I have become but I know honors and 115 published Blue & he is with me in everything that I White Flash articles later, I am so do.

Must see movies to watch during the holiday recess The holiday season often gives families the opportunity to celebrate the season by bonding of good food and entertainment on lazy nights cuddled on the couch watching movies. As it may be a little chilly outside this break, bundle up with your family and watch these top five movies. 1. “The Best Man Holiday” “The Best Man Holiday” is a must see movie to watch during the holidays. This movie shows relationships and friendships won’t be perfect but they will definitely be worth it. A group of long time college friends reunite after fifteen years during the Christmas holiday and old rivalries and grudges are rekindled, but at the end, the friends come together. “The Best Man Holiday” is tragicomedy and stars Taye Diggs, Terrence Howard, Harold Perrineau, Morris Chestnut, Monica Calhoun, Sanaa Lathan, Nia Long, Melissa De Sousa and Regina Hall, who return to reprise their roles from the 1999 original film. This movie brings lots of laughs and tears throughout. 2. “FRIDAY AFTER NEXT” If it’s comedy you want for the
holidays, who delivers it better than Craig and Day Day in the third installment of “Friday” series. In this film, Craig and his cousin Day-Day have moved out of their parents houses and gotten jobs as mall security guards in a not-so nice part of town. When a crack-head robber dressed as Santa Claus robs them on Christmas Eve and steals their gifts and rent money, they begin a hilarious adventure to retrieve goods. Ice Cube, Mike Epps, Rickey Smiley, and Katt Williams all on the same screen can only equate to the best Christmas comedy in the hood ever made.
many see in their own families. Criminal activity, legal problems, marital issues and family secrets, all culminate on the eve of Christmas as the family must put aside their differences to help each other proving that unity, forgiveness, and love keep families alive. 4. “A Charlie Brown Christmas” “A Charlie Brown Christmas” is a musical animated television special based on the comic strip Peanuts, by Charles M. Schulz. Released way back in 1965, many generations are familiar with the program because it has aired every year since then. In the special, lead character Charlie Brown finds himself depressed during the holiday season because the true meaning of Christmas, the birth of Jesus, seems to be lost as the holiday has become so commercialized. Heartwarming and touching, this movie seems to be just what is needed to remind us that it is not what you get for Christmas that is the most important, it is remembering the true reason for the season.
3. “This Christmas” “This Christmas” has already become a classic must-see movie to watch during the holidays. The film chronicles the lives of the Whitfield family, led by matriarch Ma Dere (Loretta Devine), who has gathered her children together under one roof for the first time in seven years. The drama and comedy that follow between siblings: Sister (Regina King), Quentin (Idris Elba), Kelli (Sharon Leal), Claude (Columbus Short), and Baby (Chris Brown) 5. “The Christmas Story” “A Christmas Story” is a 1983 is a reflection of the dysfunction
American Christmas comedy film released in 1983 that has become a holiday classic for many. The popularity of the film earned a 24-marathon on the TBS network every year. The film follows 9 year old Ralphie and his quest to receive a Red Ryder Range Shot 200 BB
gun for Christmas. Although we may want something so bad, it’s not always what it’s cracked up to be. Always be thankful for what you do receive, because everyone isn’t as fortunate. Shelbi Ware contributed to this story

JSU football looks to improve during 2015-2016 season Jeremy Anderson Staff Writer
JSU Athletics Media Wide Receiver, Daniel Williams runs from a tackle.
In coach Harold Jackson’s first season as head coach, the Tigers of Jackson State finished 2014 with an overall record of 5-7 and 3-6 in Southwestern Athletic Conference play. The Tigers began the season with high hopes of winning a SWAC title, but stunning losses early in the season proved too deep of a hole for the Tigers to get out of. The Tigers started off the season strong with a memorable Hail Mary pass from LaMontiez Ivy to DeSean Mckenzie that won the first game of the season against Florida A&M University. The Tigers then defeated Virginia Lynchburg 59-0, starting the 2014 season with two consecutive wins. The season turned south after the two early wins. In the Southern Heritage Classic, Tennessee State defeated Jackson State in convincing fashion, 35-7. Jackson State’s weaknesses were exposed as
Tennessee State dominated for much of the game. The Tigers began conference play against Grambling State in Jackson, Miss. In its first win of the season, Grambling State narrowly defeated JSU 40-35. After an overtime win against Arkansas Pine-Bluff, the Tigers were over a .500 winning percentage for the last time in the season. JSU would then drop five consecutive games, four of which were at home. Following a loss to Prairie View A&M, JSU lost its Homecoming game to in-state rival Mississippi Valley State University for the first time in 19 years. The Delta Devils’ head coach was Rick Comegy, last year’s head coach at Jackson State. After the MVSU loss, JSU lost to rival Southern, Alabama A&M, and Alabama State in consecutive weeks. In the second to last game week of the season, JSU managed to defeat Texas Southern University in a 15-10 dogfight of a game in Houston, Texas. It was JSU’s first win in
over a month and a half. Riding the momentum from the previous win, Jackson State defeated the Alcorn State University Braves in the annual Soul Bowl. Alcorn State had already clinched the SWAC East Championship two weeks earlier and was widely considered the best team in the conference. Yet, JSU proved that it can play with any team by defeating the Braves in dramatic fashion 34-31. Ivy and McKenzie connected again on a gamewinning touchdown as they did in the first game of the season. Although the season did not turn out as expected, Jackson State proved that it is capable of special things. Key playmakers will return for JSU next year: Ivy, who threw for over 3,000 yards; Dan Williams, who caught for over 1,000 yards; and JaVancy Jones, who recorded 108 tackles. With the core of the offensive and defensive production returning next year, expect an exciting 2015 football season for the Jackson State Tigers.
