Cover Story HBCU Athletes Support, Participate in Protest Against America Editor-In-Chief Marcus D. Smith
Just before a week three matchup in a Southwestern Athletic Conference football game between Texas Southern University and Mississippi Valley State University, four players took a knee through the duration of the national anthem in protest to the treatment of black citizens.

tion in protest were TSU quarterback, Averion Hurts, and TSU defensive back Demetrious Johnson. “What I don’t like is that they can keep killing people and they don’t suffer any consequences. With that being said, I’m not for the American flag or any of that stuff right now, and you won’t see me saluting the flag. I am taking a knee every game,” said Johnson, reasoning behind his decision to take a stance on the debate.
Hurts, who threw 273 yards and three touchdowns in a shutout victory against Mississippi Valley State, was emotionally moved when Kaepernick initially began his protest. Hurts who says is all for his country, his veterans, and even police also believes that a change needs to be made in our nation from a police brutality and equality standpoint. “When he [Kaepernick] did what he did, it really touched me because although he can’t bring immediate effect, but he can shed light on a situation that needs to be discussed. He can start a conversation and we can work towards a resolution,” said Hurts. Often, Colin Kaepernick is compared to the stance taken by LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul and Dwyane Wade at the ESPY’s. It is becoming common for athletes to speak up on unjust behavior and incidents going on in the nation and take a stand for change. It is important for college students, even athletes, to also be conscientious of the issues going on around. As the future lies in our hands, we eventually become the leaders of

You have to stand for something or you will fall for anything,” said Hurts. Both Hurts and Johnson both are conscious-minded pertaining to the issues that occur around this country, including one of the most recent events in Tulsa, Oklahoma when an unarmed black man, Terrance Crutcher, was shot in the back while returning to his car with his hands up. Even the shooting days later against a black man, Keith Lamont Scott in Charlotte, North Carolina, it proves the entire point of the protests being put on display by the athletes. “If we have to take a knee every game, just for them to make a change then that’s what we are going to do. It won’t be just two of us this time, it’s going to be everyone on the team,” said Johnson. Change, it has been the slogan that President Obama has been preaching since before he arrived in the Oval Office. This issue all over is being discussed among citizens of all demographics, backgrounds, and mindsets. Questions begin to arise as to what can be done to outlaw this epidemic of injustice. What else can be done to raise awareness of the situation at hand in the States? Different avenues have been thought of when searching for answers. As these issues continue to
occur and affect the black communities, you begin to see black citizens take different measures in search of progression.

Before the 2016 spring semester, Lambda Pi Eta –the official honor society of the National Communication Association – did not exist at Texas Southern University. Martin Adjovu, a 26-year-old senior majoring in broadcast journalism, sought to make this happen. After learning of the organization through friend and fellow Ghanaian, Jeffrey Park of Westfield State University, Adjovu’s wheels started turning. Already a member of the Communications Student Alliance, a contributor and co-host of “The Lunchbox” radio show, an entertainment reporter for “TSU TV” and creator/host of the “Saturday Shade” podcast, Adjovu wanted more. “I wanted to have an honors program for my concentration,” Adjovu said. “I come from a family where education is very important.” Adjovu’s next step was contacting TSU communications professor and active member of Lambda Pi Eta, Zantel Nichols. Nichols admired Adjovu’s enthusiasm and persistence. “I thought it would provide our students with another way to be engaged in the communication discipline,” Nichols said. “I am a firm believer in both the academic and practical

Life & Style Do you actually need the iPhone 7? BY: MARIEA BOYD Life & Style Columnist Did you hear the great news; Apple is giving away new iPhones free. Ok, well don’t expect a brand new phone that can replace the huge crack you’ve been putting off to fix, but if you’re anything like me a software update is more impactful than new hardware. So, if you’re thinking about buying the IPhone 7, save your money for something more meaningful like pizza. Last Tuesday, Apple released the iOS 10 update, it didn’t change much, but it gives the apps we already use a rethink. Not to mention, the new features also proves Apple can compete with Google and Facebook. It has been a theory for a long time that new updates are a sales scam that forces users to buy the new update, but that isn’t the case for the iOS 10. To prepare for the update Apple has worked to reduce the impact after an upgrade. On a speed and battery test done by the Wall Street Jour-
nal, the new upgrade is successfully compatible with older versions. iOS 10 is available on recent devices going back to the iPhone 5, fourth-gen iPad, iPad Mini 2 and sixth-gen iPod Touch. Sorry iPhone 4, you’re out! So what are these features and why are they so great?

TSU Tigers walk for Autism By: Justin Elum Contributing Writer Students at Texas Southern University walked in solidarity to spread awareness of autism at Minute Maid Park. This years annual Autism Speaks Walk garnered thousands of people early Sunday morning with the goal of raising funds and spreading awareness. “Autism Speaks Walk is our largest fundraising event and allows us to fund research initiatives, public health activities, programs and services for individuals and families affected by autism spectrum disorder,” said Chief Field Officer Anne Marie Woods. Students at TSU walked in support of the Gabriel’s Horn Foundation, who of which has made it their mission to spread aware-
ness “through advocacy and action, to ensure that every child and every family affected by autism in underserved communities has access to the right information and services at the right time. According to the Centers for Disease and control, about one in 68 children have been identified with ASD. “The average Caucasian child is diagnosed with autism between two or three years of age while the average AfricanAmerican and Latino child in urban communities is diagnosed between six and seven”, said by co-founder Ahmad Islam. Experts are still uncertain about the causes of Autism. Many speculate that it’s linked genetically and environmentally.
According to the organization My Child Without Limits there is reason to believe that parents or other relatives have mild social impairments such as, receptive behaviors and social communication problems, occur more often in families of child with autism. TSU student Raven Williams said, “I have a family member with autism, and I for one think he is a genius. He has one of the most creative minds I’ve ever encountered; it’s really inspiring. “ Autism Speaks has made it their mission to spread awareness and educate people on ASD. They’re community outreach has grown tremendously over the years, which has allowed them to raise over $250,000 for further research on ASD.

Cook later added a 50-yard TD reception to his stat line courtesy of an Averion Hurts pass. Hurts was 15-of-24 on the night as he threw for 273 yards and 3 touchdowns. Wide receivers Tony Upchurch and Tracy Johnson each hauled in touchdown passes for the Tigers in what was head coach Michael Haywood’s first win at the helm of the program. “I thought we played well in all three facets of the game,” said Haywood. “We competed for 60 minutes and I’m proud of the effort and focus our team displayed throughout the game.” Texas Southern amassed 374 yards of total offense on the night (101 R, 273 P) while holding Mississippi Valley State to 160 total offensive yards (-10 R, 170 P).

TSU opened the season at the Aggie Opener at Texas A&M University. Texas Southern’s Xavier Martinez led the way finishing in 1st place on the team. Martinez has been the Tigers top runner in all three meets they’ve competed in this season. “Xavier has stepped up and been our team leader,” said TSU Assistant Men’s Cross Country coach Derwin Graham. “We think that he will have a great chance at bringing home the Individual Men’s Title at the upcoming SWAC Championships.” Along with Martinez freshman Austin Brown has made his presence known on the squad as he has been the teams’ 2nd place finisher in two meets this year.

In set two, TSU netted 12 of the first 16 points of the frame, controlling the game from there. Grambling responded in set three, building an 11-6 lead early on and not allowing TSU to get any closer than three the rest of the way. In the fourth and deciding set, however, both sides traded momentum until Texas Southern posted a 10-1 run that wiped out a 13-12 Grambling State advantage. Kali Fluke posted 19 kills to lead Texas Southern along with five blocks.
“We’ve been really impressed with how well Austin has adapted to running at the collegiate level,” said Graham. “He has been a definite bright spot for our team.” Texas Southern will compete in their first 8k race at Texas A&M on September 24th.

Your guide to a drama-free dorm experience BY: MAHBUBA MOTUVU Health Columnist
By now, you have probably figured out if you love or hate your roommate. One of the biggest challenges college students living on campus face is learning how to live with a roommate. Some students might get lucky and have a friend for a roomie however, that too can go wrong if there is no room etiquette. The goal is to keep it drama free and here are a few tips. 1. Set ground rules If you haven’t yet already, call for a roommates’ meeting and get to it. This is probably the most important thing roommates can do for each other, as it sets the tone for how things are going to run around your living space. Everyone should be able to voice out their expectations and things they’d rather not deal with from their roommates, like smoking. Allergies and other issues considered important should be brought forward so that everyone starts off on the same page. This meeting is also the best time to set a cleaning schedule and encourage everyone to follow it. Future roommate meetings should also be scheduled in order for everyone to keep up and voice their opinions on issues that might be bothering them. 2. Communication is key The truth is that you and your roommate are not going to get along all the time. Even if you are the best of friends, there will be moments when you will get on each other’s nerves. Don’t wait for little issues to pile up. If something is bothering you, talk to your roommate about it openly. Don’t blame them, tell them politely how what they did made you feel. For example, don’t say; stop being so messy. Say; leaving your stuff all over the floor makes me feel anxious and I would appreciate it if you placed it all in the hamper in the corner. 3. Respect your roommates’ property The last thing you want is to leave the room for a quick run downstairs and leave the door unlocked, only to find your roommate’s laptop stolen. Treat your roommates’ property with the same respect you would like yours to be treated. Lock the room and keep
the windows closed when either of you is not around. Do not use your roommates’ property without asking, especially with things like wearing their clothes or eating their food.
Treat your roommates as though you are in a relationship with them. Be positive, supportive and caring and the campus living experience will be breezy.
4. Learn how to negotiate It’s your birthday, you want to have some friends over and your roommate wants to have a study-group session for an early morning test. Let each other know well in advance if you're planning on doing something out of the ordinary in your shared space. Knowing in advance gives one time to change their plans accordingly. You can enjoy the space with your friends on one night while your roommate takes her study buddies to the library. In appreciation, offer your roommate an extra quiet environment the next time they want to have people over to study. 5. Respect each other’s cultures You're probably going to meet students from all walks of life whose way of living may differ from yours. Some will be from different countries and others will observe different religions. Whatever the case, be respectful even though you may not agree with their customs.

Censorship: Suppressing Freedom of Expression and the Student Voice BY NYCOLE HUTCHENS Opinion Columnist
to Webster’s Dictionary, to “censor” means “to examine in order to SUPPRESS or DELETE anything considered objectionable.”
Ever since the recent and ongoing protests of San Francisco 49ers quarterback, Colin Kaepernick, many are questioning the true freedom of self-expression and First Amendment rights. Kaepernick has continued to come under fire for not standing during the National Anthem during football games to protest against discrimination against African-Americans and other minorities. So if someone can be criticized for doing something commendable and so self-less. What does this mean for the rest of us? Censorship is a very real thing, and becoming more prevalent especially for students or against anyone fighting for real change, or to simply just inform the general public. Censorship is not easily defined. According
This is problematic due to the fact that censorship essentially causes the suppression of an idea or image all because one may become offended or disagree with that idea or image. Censorship has occurred in areas of religion, politics, social issues, and in school is commonly directed at “controversial” ideas and/or materials. Last year, a movement called #TakeBackTxSU started on campus by a group of students, became so big, it got the attention of the media. Although this much-needed movement brought in public attention good and bad, it brought on change. Students began to see positive change in their housing conditions. Student activities were re-established on campus. Traditional HBCU memorabilia was brought back including the historical Greek trees. And the marketing department has started to correct its material to accurately reflect transparency about the university and its major student demographic.
The beauty about exercising freedom of expression is that it gives the opportunity for individuals to share their ideas good and bad and it can start a conversation. These conversations can produce dialogue that can teach or least gives others on the opposing side something to think about. It’s not healthy to suppress, omit, or even hide the ideas of students all to make things more “comfortable” or “tolerant” for some. Sometimes the message is not always comfortable, especially if it is supported by facts or poses a strong point that can’t be denied. Students of the press are especially vulnerable to criticism and suppression. This is contradictory, especially if a publication is considered the “voice” of the students and those too afraid to speak up and speak out. It is time to consider encouraging students and those seeking positive change to share and express their ideas and topics, regardless of how “controversial” it may initially seem. If we don’t, students will be expressing themselves in unhealthy ways creating an atmosphere that will cause a different dialogue far more disturbing than a simple opinion.

Politics Q&A: Mrs. Braziel Discusses Alva Braziel’s Case BY Nikki Luellen Political Columnist On July 9th, Nikki Braziel received a call telling her that her husband, Alva Braziel was just murdered by the Houston Police Department. Since then Mrs. Braziel has had to cope with her loss. Student activist Bryan X contacted the TSU Herald asking if we could do a story on Mrs. Braziel. On September 6th, the TSU Herald interviewed Mrs. Braziel on her thoughts about the case, what happened the night her husband died, updates on the case and support she has gotten from the community. For space purposes, Nikki Braziel will be abbreviated with NB and the TSU Herald will be abbreviated with TH.
didn’t want to answer no more questions. It was another police officer that came and she went into the store and they were trying to get the store video…and the man in the store kept saying, “He didn’t do nothing to them. He didn’t do nothing to them.” TH: Are they talking about charging these officers? NB: The only thing I know is that they won’t release any paperwork from the police department.
TH: Mrs. Braziel, what was your initial reaction when you found out that Alva Braziel was murdered by the police?
TH: What would you like us to know about this case? NB: I just want justice. I don’t understand how they sleep at night knowing they killed somebody with a family. What was the purpose? You still haven’t gave me a purpose why you killed him. TH: What is something you would like people to know about Alva Braziel?
NB: Well, first I got a phone call from him [Alva Braziel] at 11:21pm saying he was on his way home. Then I turned around and got a phone call at 12:20am saying the laws had just shot him down. I just woke up so my thoughts were like, this can’t be true. I kept saying this can’t be true all the way to Houston but once I got to Houston it was true. He was laying in the middle of the street with a sheet over him.
NB: Alva was a friendly person; he would give you the shirt off of his back. He was a loving caring husband. He took care of his family. He liked to go fishing. He liked to ride horses. He liked to do family things. Everything he did he made sure his kids was involved. He didn’t do anything without them. He has four children and I have five. I’m taking care of all of us now. TH: Have people from the community came and shown support?
TH: When you arrived on the scene what happened? NB: I was asking the HPD what happened and then the man said, “Well, were gonna send somebody over to talk to you.” I was standing there and I was praying and as I was praying this little boy came over named Eric and he said, “ma’am, they just shot him down cold like that.” And the newsman came and then the police came back over and said, “you have to move from right here” and I said, “I’m not going anywhere, the way you move me is if you take me to jail because I’m going to stand here and watch what you all did to my husband.” And it was a lady in the background and she was sitting there hollering, “they shot him for no reason and then they also tried to handcuff him after he was dead.” And then the police officer walked away, he walked away cause he
this video? Basically he was sitting there telling a story saying that I said I didn’t want the video to be released to the public which was a lie. Then he turned around and tried to say I didn’t see the video, that was a second lie. Then the police came up to him and whispered in his ear, “She saw the video.”
TH: So there’s been no indictment on any of these officers? NB: No there hasn’t been nothing yet. The case is still being investigated. How long does it take to investigate? TH: Can you explain why you went to City Hall and what happened? NB: I went to City Hall for justice, and I went to City Hall with intentions on asking why did Mayor Sylvester Turner say that he saw a video of my husband pointing a gun? Can he release
NB: The New Black Panthers, Crystal Muhammad, J-Dawg, Paul Wall, they have came. Eric Puckett, he calls me all the time, Bryan X. I just want to thank them all. I’m getting through it by them. Sometimes it’s hard but I’ll be alright, long as I walk with faith.
