Clergy addresses voting rights at annual convention in Dallas Perkins, pastor of Greater Christ Baptist Church in Detroit, MI, the PNBC puts to rest any doubt that the Black Church is alive and well by addressing issues and effecting change. Elected 20th President of the PNBC, in 2014, Rev. Perkins, says it is important that the members “jump in the arena of life an engage with some issue.” “Baptists are coming to Dallas in August and voting rights sits at the top of the agenda,” he said, during a recent phone interview. “As we mark the 50th

When thousands of clergy members from across the country gather at the Downtown Hyatt Regency Hotel in Dallas, TX for the annual Progressive National Baptist Convention, August 2-7, 2015, there will be a number of issues discussed and at the top of the list is voting rights. Led by the fiery Rev. Dr. James C.
communities across the country and pastors were highly revered and looked to as the fearless voices, no matter the issues, the reverend says that the same spirit of activism is needed today. “Pastors must speak for the orphans, those without and we must be a voice for the voiceless,” he explained. “If preaching and praising alone did it all and was enough to bring about change, no one does it better than we do. “We’re under attack. We must do more,” he continued, adding that social

If you’re not at the table, you’re on the menu!” anniversary of the signing of the Voting Rights Act, we have to realize that we are under attack, and praising and preaching is not enough. We need protest.” Citing the period when the Black Church was the focal point of
justice issues must be a priority. Moving forward, the graduate of Wiley College, who is a strong advocate of historically Black colleges and universities says while the schedule is filled with programming designed
to build stronger, more productive congregations and communities, they have to focus on the very foundation of the organization, which is rooted in among other things, the fight for human freedom and advocacy for human rights. PNBC has a history of partnering with other institutions within the Black communities, he noted, citing Black Businesses and the Black Press. “Historically black newspapers and black churches had an alliance,” he said, adding that working together the communities were stronger and information was shared.” Unfortunately today, the media is not as positive and many can point to the negative impact seen in communities across the country as well as those images shared around the world. With the advent of such vehicles as reality television, he explained, too many negative images and unproductive lifestyles are on display. “We are creating gospel stars not gospel prophets in this age of celebrity,” he said. The focus must change and that’s

Brown successor named, Spencer unanimously chosen At an emergency board meeting resulting from the death of founder Joyce Ann Brown on June 13, 2015, MASS Mothers (Fathers) for the Advancement of Social Systems named Koquice Spencer, as the temporary CEO/President. Ms. Brown, who was released from prison in 1989 after serving nine years, five months and 24 days in prison for a crime she didn’t commit, made good on a promise she made while incarcerated and founded MASS Inc. Since her release, Ms. Brown has been committed to freeing the wrongfully convicted, assisting and supporting the families of the incarcerated and formerly incarcerated, providing opportunities for those looking to reenter and become productive members of society, and ensure better conditions for those living in prisons. MASS Board members said they felt Ms. Spencer, who has worked side-by-side with her mother, was the ideal choice to take over the helm of MASS. They praised her commitment
and leadership, while offering words of encouragement. Ms. Spencer, who will serve in the capacity of CEO/ Preosdemtuntil the full board meets later this year and votes on a permanent successor, is excited about the opportunity to continue the work her mother was so passionate about. She expressed appreciation to the board for their vote of confidence and belief that MASS must continue. In the interim, the Board felt it was important to inform supporters, donors and volunteers that MASS Inc., which is a 501 C 3 non profit organization, did not die with Ms. Brown and is under the capable leadership of Ms. Spencer with assistance from Vice President of Programs Robert Spencer and Vice President of Marketing James Maynard. “I am so appreciative of the support that I continue to receive since my mother’s death,” said Ms. Spencer. “Of Koquice Spencer with her mother, Joyce Ann Brown

Brown successor named,
course this has been a tough time for my family and MASS, but we want everyone to know that the spirit of Joyce Ann Brown lives and her work will continue!” MASS Inc. has temporarily suspended services as plans are made to continue the great work that has helped so many enjoy a better quality of life. Ms. Spencer was 11 years old when her mother, Joyce Ann Brown was taken away to spend nine years, five months and 24 days in prison for a crime that she always said she didn’t commit. After a short trial that included testimony from a jailhouse informant, an obvious cover-up and an eyewitness account, Joyce was found guilty of robbery and murder. She was sentenced to spend at least 20 years in the Texas Department of Corrections before she could even have a hearing to discuss parole. With the help of Centurion Ministries, the CBS Newsmagazine Show 60 Minutes and several articles written by two Dallas Morning News reporters, Steve McGonigle and Steve Blow, Joyce’s case received international attention, and on November 3, 1989, she walked outside into the arms of her family, a free woman. Joyce’s incarceration period was a sad time for the family but one thing Joyce could count on was her mother’s unrelenting support and she took solace in also knowing that her daughter would be fine living with MaDear. “While MaDear would exercise her firm brand of discipline, she would also shower her with the love and encouragement that had made me into a strong, confident woman,” wrote Joyce in her best-selling memoir, Joyce Ann Brown: Justice Denied. Ms. Brown was concerned, however, about what her daughter would think of her. Would Koquice be ashamed? Would she wonder if her mother was guilty? Would she hate her? Ms. Brown learned quickly about the strength of a daughter’s love. Young Koquice never wavered and although she was rebellious at times, she remained loyal and supportive. Much like her mother, Koquice has always been a fighter. Loyal and committed, she stands for what is right.

While her mom remained behind bars, she did receive visits from Koquice, During one of those visits, Joyce looked at her daughter from behind chicken wire as Koquice told her that despite the baby growing inside of her, she would finish high school with her class. “Mama, my baby is not a mistake,” Koquice said. “I need something of my own to love, and to love me. I wanted to get pregnant.” In February of 1986, when Koquice was in her junior year, Brittany Emia was born and the next year, Koquice graduated on time with the Hillcrest High School Class of 1987. After graduation, Koquice went to work to take care of her daughter. Today she has another daughter, Jereny, and two grandchildren, Jh’Mia and E’Myia. Since Joyce’s release, in addition to working in key positions in property management, political consulting, and marketing/ sales; Koquice has worked side-by-side with her mother. On June 13, 2015, Koquice once again felt a deep loss, similar to the one she experienced in 1980. This time death would take Joyce away permanently as she never recovered from a massive heart attack. In a unanimous move by the Board of Directors, Koquice was named the CEO/President of MASS - Mother (Fathers) for the Advancement of Social Systems, the organization founded by Ms. Brown and committed to freeing the wrongfully convicted, assisting and supporting the families of the incarcerated and formerly incarcerated, providing opportunities for those looking to reenter and become productive members of society, and ensure better conditions for those living in prisons. Ms. Spencer promised her mom and the countless number of MASS supporters who have reached out, as well as those who have benefited from Joyce’s works, that she would remain committed to the noble work that her mother pledged her life to. Today Koquice Spencer stands as a symbol of hope, a voice for the voiceless, a Warrior, like her mother, Joyce Ann Brown.

FROM THE HILL
By Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson Eddie Bernice Johnson represents the state of Texas’ 30th congressional district in the United States House of Representatives.
Celebrating fifty years of Medicare and Medicaid On July 30th, the country celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Medicare and Medicaid programs that have helped to improve the health of our nation and have ensured that all of our citizens can access quality health care. I remain in full support of a strong Medicare program and have advocated for the expansion of Medicaid in states, such as Texas, where millions of residents remain uninsured. According to federal data, nearly one of every three Americans is covered by one of the two programs. The legislation giving birth to the landmark programs was signed into law by President Lyndon Baines Johnson twenty years after a health coverage plan proposed by President Harry S. Truman in 1945 was rejected by Congress. In fact, President Johnson presented the first Medicare Cards to President Harry Truman and his wife, First Lady Bess Truman in 1966. Before the creation of the Medicare and Medicaid programs, nearly half of all senior citizens in America were without health insurance. This caused tremendous financial strain on families, forcing some into bankruptcy as they battled serious health challenges. Today, more than 100 million people receive quality health care through Medicare or Medicaid. Because of the programs, they are able to live with the peace of mind and dignity that comes with affordable health coverage and economic security. Approximately 55 million Americans receive health care coverage through Medicare. Beneficiaries are eligible for preventive services, various health screenings, flu shots and other routine care. Medicare also covers prescription drugs, supplies, lab tests, and hospital stays. Medicaid benefits nearly 70 million Americans, including 33 million children who are covered under the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). Low-income individuals, children, pregnant women, and individuals who have physical or mental disabilities are eligible for essential services such as annual physical examinations, prenatal care and dental care. In 2010, when President Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act into law, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation was created, requirements for Medicaid eligibility were adjusted and enrollment requirements were simplified. In Congress, I intend to continue my work to improve and protect Medicare and Medicaid. I will fight any and all efforts to place the programs into the hands of private operators, to cut funding of these vital programs, or any attempts to play political games with people’s health and wellness. Medicare and Medicaid have worked well for millions of Americans during the past fifty years, and with continued improvements and congressional guidance, they will continue to serve eligible citizens for many years to come.

SMITH: A Father’s love remembered
Friday, July 31, 2015 is the exact day of last year that I spoke to DeMarcus Walton for the last time. Admittedly before I met him I had developed a dislike for him, merely because he had impregnated my precious Alayna. Now, I know she was 20 years old, but it didn’t matter. And then too, he was a bit older than her. Who was this so and so? And who should I slug first, him or her? Well, she finally brought him around and when I first met him I was pleasantly surprised. Here was this Tupac-looking young man, who was extremely polite and a joy to be around. We clicked immediately much to Alayna’s amazement and apparent discomfort. Once little Aaliyah was born, I watched the doting father who made sure that his daughter’s experiences with her “first love� would be loving, nurturing and memorable. Did he spoil her? Of course he did. And he should have. He wanted the best for her and he was the provider. The last time I talked to him, I was attending a National Association of Black Journalists Convention in Boston. He told me his plans for his daughter for the weekend and he also had Alayna’s younger sister, Annya with him. I encouraged him to take the girls to my house and spend the weekend. “I’ll be home on Sunday afternoon,� I told him. I wish he had gone. When I hung up the phone I told my sister girl friend Eva, “That is a fine young man. I just love him and what he is doing for my family.� Little did I know that in less than 12 hours I would hear news that tore at my core. The next morning Eva and I were going out to hang with fellow journalists and I got a phone call. I could hear my niece, Brittany, crying as she tried to tell me that DeMarcus was gone. I think my heart stopped for a moment. This couldn’t be. Later that evening, at the NABJ awards program, another journalist, Amanda Fitzpatrick stood in the center of the ballroom and held me as she prayed for my family. You see, it was just a little over a month ago we said goodbye to my mother and I was not prepared for this news. There hasn’t been a day since that fateful day that I

haven’t thought about DeMarcus. I want to know why the young man, Justin Pharez Smith (no relation) felt the need to rob and kill DeMarcus and two other women, while also severely wounding another young woman. I think about the many young girls who never got to know a father’s love and I smile as I recall all the many times I saw DeMarcus wrapped around Aaliyah’s finger. A little over two weeks before his death, DeMarcus took me and Aaliyah to lunch at Olive Garden.
Aaliyah with her father, DeMarcus
We had a wonderful time and of course Aaliyah got a big chocolate dessert. Before we left the restaurant, I said, “let me take this picture.� That picture remains ingrained in my memory. It was also used on the cover of his obituary.

Thinking of DeMarcus causes me to think about my own father and how I had him for so many more years because he was in his late 70s when he transitioned. I was a “daddy’s girl,� just like Aaliyah and there’s no doubt in my mind that DeMarcus would have made it a priority to be at every eventful moment in Aaliyah’s life. He was her knight in shining armor. He was not a deadbeat father. Instead he took his responsibility seriously. It came as a surprise to me when his mother asked me to speak at his funeral. I thought so highly of him, I had no idea that the feeling was mutual. Sure I knew that he made sure to put his best foot forward around me but to hear that he held me in such high esteem to his parents, well I was humbled. As I looked at him for the last time, I noticed he was wearing the suit he purchased for my mother’s funeral. I knew that had she been alive still, his death would have been a serious blow for her, as well. These senseless mur-ders are so draining. It is so easy to feel helpless because we’re getting it from all sides. The 21-year-old young man who murdered DeMarcus will also not have an opportunity to be a doting father. So many lives ruined. While some would ask for the death penalty, my stance on the subject does not change because someone near and dear is the victim. I adamantly oppose the death penalty. DeMarcus is gone and nothing will bring him back. Maybe we can save others. It’s a fight everyone can join. Sadly too many only care about the violence when they are directly impacted. We have to increase the ranks of our armies to deal with assaults on and in our communities. We’re getting it from all sides and silence is not an option. I am committed to ensuring that DeMarcus’ memory remains a part of Aaliyah and I hope that one day she will find a man to treat her as well as her father did. I also hope that men of all ages will read this and recommit to their children.

HALL: Your Dream Ain’t Done!!!
Quit Playin’
By Vincent Hall
released a new blockbuster article. It is rightly titled “A Dream Undone… Inside the 50 year campaign to roll back the Voting Rights Act.” The piece is so pivotal and comprehensive that I wish I could have just duplicated it for you in its entirety. “A Dream Undone” takes you backwards from the 1965 Voting Rights Act to the “Reconstruction Era” where Blacks made great political gains, to today’s Supreme Court and its painful and partisan
time. “In the morning of his wedding, in 1956, Henry Frye realized that he had a few hours to spare before the afternoon ceremony. He was staying at his parents’ house in Ellerbe, N.C.; the ceremony would take place 75 miles away, in Greensboro, the hometown of his fiancée; and the drive wouldn’t take long. Frye, who had always been practical, had a practical thought: Now might be a good time t o finally
Vincent L. Hall is an author and award-winning columnist.
If you can readily accept or questionably relent that there is a God, it is obvious that he is talking to America now.
Because whenever we hear that someone hanged themselves in jail or was unjustifiably killed by a police officer, we don’t have to wonder; Sh!t we already know.
When he met Shirley at the altar, the first thing he said was: “You know they wouldn’t let me register?” “Can we talk about this later?” she replied.”
During this Golden or 50th anniversary of Voting Rights Act we are getting some signs from on high that our work has not been finished.
The commentators were all abuzz because the New York Times has just
“I said, ‘Well, I don’t know why are you asking me all of these questions,’ ”
Sitting with me on the enclosed porch of his red-brick ranch house in Greensboro, drinking his wife’s sweet tea, Frye could joke about the exchange now, but at the time it left him upset and determined.
So if you can accept that there is a God, then hopefully you can follow me in my notion that he talks to us sometimes corporately through signs and other times just quietly in our spirits.
As I was talking to God after watching the latest killing in Cincinnati of Mr. Samuel Dubose, he spoke to me through the TV.
In 1900, North Carolina voters amended the state’s Constitution to require that all new voters “be able to read and write any section of the Constitution in the English language,” but for decades some registrars had been applying that already broad mandate even more aggressively, targeting perfectly literate black registrants with arbitrary and obscure queries, like which president served when or who had the ultimate power to adjourn Congress.
Frye, now 83, recalled. “We went around and around, and he said, ‘Are you going to answer these questions?’ and I said, ‘No, I’m not going to try.’ And he said, ‘Well, then, you’re not going to register today.’ ”
The old black folk used to say that God would show us signs and wonders. Nowadays it looks like all we get are signs.
In fact much of the work that LBJ, MLK, JFK, RFK and so many other nameless heroines named Kaye have done, is being undone.
Adopting a tactic common in the Jim Crow South, the registrar subjected Frye to what election officials called a literacy test.

But as we celebrate his victory and so many others like it, God told be (me) to remind you that that dream us (is) being undone and it’s time to do something about it. Or live that particular nightmare all over again. Read this article today!

BLESSED ALWAYS Spiritually Speaking by James A. Washington I have to say I’ve been feeling pretty lucky lately and, not necessarily from a financial, physical or even an emotional point of view. When I look at my life from a worldly perspective now, it can sometimes still appear stacked against me. Life happens and well, you know the rest. These days my spiritual resolve kicks in, if I’m fortunate, and I keep coming back to this one thing. It’s not about luck anymore. I’m blessed because there are not enough hours in the day to say thank you to the Almighty for that simple transformation of thought. I’m blessed because from where I sit and I could be wrong about this but, I don’t
and that was it. Hello Moses. At times He even lets you think you know more than He does. Say what Jonah? Even when you doubt what God is saying, He still, with appropriate consequences, rings your phone again. How ‘bout that Zechariah? Imagine missing your wake up call from god and never getting another one. Like I said I’m feeling pretty blessed today. I would have loved to have seen the look on my mother’s face to hear me say I’m saved. The following conversations would have been the stuff dreams are made of. There are people who have been a part of your life who are or would roll over in their graves to hear that about you. Can you say Holy Ghost party? I know this for a certainty because I believe I woke up on the last ring of my last wake up call. I could be wrong, but everything A.S. (after saved) is more optimistic for me. I find myself ridiculously giddy with the reality that God said, ‘ring him up one last time.’ It gives my every waking moment and inevitable death new
think I missed my wake up call from God. I confess. It was a long time coming but instead of pushing the snooze button, I got my behind out of bed and started paying attention to God’s agenda rather than my own. Think about it. That’s a question anybody should ask of oneself. Have I missed God’s wake up call? All I can say is did you call the front desk and ask/pray for one? My bible is full of not yet saints and prophets who, when called, tried their very best to sleep through it, ignore it or pretend the call was for someone else. Most just denied it. What about you? Remember in the bible God simply played past the “you talking to me?” He gave marching ordersT:10.25”

meaning. You know when you miss your wake up call, it has a tendency to ruin you whole day. I kinda think if you miss God’s wake up call, it has a tendency to ruin your whole life and the next one and the one after that. I’m sure there is someone reading this that knows the feeling of just getting in under the wire; either catching a plane, making an important meeting or beating the bill collector minutes before everything gets turned off. The negative anticipation is replaced with relieved enthusiasm because you made it in the nick of time. Whew, thank God I made it. I may yet not get to heaven, but I can at least say I know the way. That’s worth shouting about. The bible counts it all joy. Life and death look a whole lot different to me now. Actually, they’re both the same to some extent. God is in both worlds. And it’s pretty nice to recognize and follow Him in this one. Have a nice day and may God bless and keep you always.

Hubby didn’t defend me! Dear Alma, My husband accidently dialed my cell phone number and I heard him and his friend talking about me. His friend was saying that I talk about my husband behind his back and that I’m always talking about how much money I make and how I take care of everything, which I do. He was going on and on, saying that I call him nasty names and always saying how he is just a low life, good for nothing and that my husband shouldn’t just sit around and take that from me. Here’s the kicker, my husband didn’t even defend me. This man was talking about me like a dog and my husband did not respond or do anything. My feelings are so hurt. This is my fourth marriage and I don’t want to break up my marriage, but I don’t understand a man that doesn’t stand up for his wife. How do I get my husband to be a man and defend me like he should? -Hurt Dear Hurt, Let’s step back and talk men for a minute. Usually when grown-aged men have a conversation, it’s short direct and to the point. They don’t add unnecessary words. They give it to you straight, just like they order drinks at a bar. When having a conversation with a man, what he says is what he means. It may not be what you want to hear, but it doesn’t mean it isn’t what needs to be said. Now here, I got your back sister sassy, it’s heartbreaking to not be defended by your husband, but TBT, you should be familiar with that action, or lack thereof. If it’s true what his friend is saying, your husband doesn’t defend himself, which is why he isn’t defending you. Here’s a tablespoon because I know you can only swallow small doses of constructive criticism. Yes, there’s no doubt, it cuts deeply when the one you love, leaves you standing all by your lonesome. But here’s my question to you: Are you really talking about your husband that bad in public? Even in private, that’s jacked. Are you unbearably demanding? Are you using obnoxious and hateful words towards him? I’d say yes, sounds to me like you’re bullying him and that’s just not cool. Don’t be disturbed, I’m not just defending said friend, honestly it appears, you need a checkup from the neck up, and no one has enough nerve to tell you. Listen to my sound advice and let it take root. Re-evaluate your actions and take responsibility for them. In due season, we all reap what we sow, and right now you’re sowing some seeds of foolhardiness. That phone call was no accident. It was the universe giving you a dose of what you deserve. I’d suggest you turn your world around and start using the wise counsel you’re ready to douse all over your husband. Hear me when I say, men protect what they respect. Offer your husband the respect that he deserves and he’ll start to safeguard the love you share. Alma

THE 42nd ANNUAL BAYOU CLASSIC
Bayou Classic Signs Extension with NBC Sports Group; New Kickoff Time for Annual Football Contest The Bayou Classic team announced that the 42nd Annual Bayou Classic will once again be broadcast on NBC, but this year will move to the broadcast company's cable network – NBC Sports Network. The agreement between The Bayou Classic and NBC Sports Group extends the broadcast of the Bayou Classic on NBC Sports Network for another year. NBC Sports Group has been the home of The Bayou Classic since 1991. "The landscape of television sports is changing and it is important to us that the Bayou Classic continue to be an integral part of that landscape," said Dottie Belletto, President of New Orleans Convention Company, Inc. (NOCCI), the management firm of the 42nd Annual Bayou Classic. "Coming off one of Bayou Classic's best and most dramatic seasons in decades, we could not be more proud to extend this historic partnership and are excited that this extension offers enhanced opportunities that allow us to bring Bayou Classic to fans on more platforms than ever before." Also new for 2015, the kickoff time for the Annual Bayou Classic has been moved from its traditional 1:30 pm CST to a new kickoff time of 4:00 pm CST. This is also a change from earlier dissemination of a 2:00 pm CST kickoff. "This later kickoff time makes this the first time the Bayou Classic will see a prime-time matchup both in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome and on broadcast," added Belletto. "While our relationship with NBC Sports is longstanding, this new relationship opens up additional avenues to expand the breadth of Bayou Classic-related sports programming both in the game broadcast and in advance promotions and marketing efforts."
