TExas Southern University celebrates Black history month

Cover Story Black History Month(s) Celebrated at Texas Southern University By: Marcus D. Smith Editor-in-Chief

memorate all of those leaders before us who paved the way for young leaders and individuals such as ourselves.

It’s the very principle of the name that holds historic value.

James Brown, said it best when at the top of his lungs, he shouted full of pride and full of joy, “I’m black and I’m proud!”

But the question that is often floated around in many discussions around the country, especially at HBCU’s and in the black community, is why aren’t we celebrating black history 24/7, rather than condensing the history into 28 days, 29 if you consider the leap year every four years.

Black History Month is considered a prideful month because that reason alone. There was a time where individuals of color weren’t allowed the same freedoms as others. They were stripped of their pride. Until as a unit, together they rose. Assisting each other when they needed a lending hand, protecting one another form the dangers of Jim Crow laws, or even the slave master.

We all have spoke on this ongoing topic day in and day out. Hell, you have probably even hoped it would come up in the EDITORIAL STAFF classroom so you can distract your professor long T h e T S U H e r a l d enough to get out of the EDITOR-IN-CHIEF quiz you didn’t study for. is MARCUS D.

When the pride of the black man and/or woman is best depicted and portrayed is when it is time to overcome a daunting challenge. A challenge that only the voice and actions of a community can change.

It’s Black History Month around the nation, but the conversation amongst most has taken a different approach. Yes, we do want to com-

This particular subject hits home especially after the remarks of President Trump “dubbing” this month “African-American” history month.

To some, I can understand how this would not come off as a huge deal, but if you take the context of what he said, you would soon understand that the comment in disrespectful to many of our previous leaders, ancestors, and even us in the present-day.

Time and time again, history has shown, that as a race, black people have risen up through the shadows of the darkness only to prosper though the ongoing race war and continue to uplift one another.

It’s a sense of pride that comes with it.

There have been plenty of historical figures in the past that have done a number of things to

Cover Story was on a similar like mission with the Underground Railroad.

Maybe name ssuch as W.E.B DuBois or Booker T. Washington come to mind, two gentlemen with different views on what was best for the African slaves of that time, put their minds together to collectively create change in their world.

DuBois a Pan-African was rallying to get the people to go back to Africa and prosper from there. Where as Washingotn simply believed that once they were free from slaveowners then they could officially begin life in America, known as the “land of opportunity”.

affect the lives of us in the black community today. Of course you can think of the countless of things that Dr. Martin Luther King has taught us, throughout our history books growing up.

What about the other figures who are hardly mentioned during this time such as Malcolm X, who in a time of need and desparity gave the black man a sense of ownership and pride in America. X’s ways gave the people courage to demand to be heard, leaving them with a snese of confidence for the black man.

Thurgood Marshall, who TSU named its School of Law after, paved the way for instructors, professors, teachers of the world to stand up and demand the equal pay they deserve for educating our society. He fought for the salaries for teachers all around the nation.

There are plenty of others we can name such as Holly Hogerobrooks, a TSU alumnae, who along with a group of other TSU students, participated in the city of Houston’s first sit-in.

You can honor the 1966 Texas Western, now University of Texas, El Paso (UTEP), basketball team and their coach Don Haskins, who started five black players in the NCAA Championship game and played only his three black players from the bench. They were limited to two reserves because one player Willie Cager was battling cardiac problems that hindered him from playing in the championship game.

Names such as Nat Turner come to mind, who was accepted among his slaveowners because he could, once he acquired their trust and discernment for him, he immediately gathered There are plenty of historicla factors in which a plot to free thousands of slaves on plantations the nation fails to acknowledge unless they all over. How about Harriet Tubman, who release a movie about it. This is where it is up to us as the next generation. We must not let people forget of the amazing things black people have done and continue to do for this country.

It is up to us as the next generation, the millennials, to continue to tell the stories of our culture’s historic past. It is up to each and every set of eyes that opens this page up and reads this submission tha we continue to educate ourselves, the ones before us, and the one’s

who will come after us.

We have already had a black president, there are plenty of successful black people that aren’t in Atlanta or Los Angeles, that do way more than just dribble a ball or spit a hot-16.

In this day in age, as a culture, we need to understand that options are limitless, it just comes with applying ourselves. You cannot get discouraged because you may have to work for something in order to come a satisfaction in life. You are not the first person to have to work extremely hard, and you most likely will not be the last.

One thing in this generation we lack is patience becasue we ant everything now, immediately. Understand that great things do not come overnight, remember to stay humble, stay true to yourself, and all things can come true as long as you invest your time into your passion.

Go in fruitfulness, and remeber Happy Black History Month my brothers and sisters! Peace love and happiness to all.

Campus News What a Time To Be In Houston!

By: Tyler Doggett Campus News Writer

With the biggest week of the NFL season here and gone, Texas Southern University transformed from the illustrious academic institution, to a Super bowl LI Oasis.

From January 30th to February 5th, Texas Southern University hosted a week major events for the super bowl extravaganza including the Hall of Fame Honoree.

“With so many HBCU Grads being inducted into the Hall of Fame, what a time to be in Houston,” said Keith Lawson, a sophomore student at TSU. Houston hosted this year’s Super Bowl and with it hosting a gang of events like the NFL Experience, different parties, and free concerts all around the city giving the ultimate Super Bowl experience to Houstonians and visitors alike.

TSU hosted the NFL Hall of Fame: Gridiron Glory traveling exhibit ceremony within the

University Museum on January 30th, including Hall of Famers like Ken Houston, Aeneas Williams and TSU Alumni Michael Strahan.

“I love that their utilizing all of Houston; it’s easy to forget that Texas Southern is still a significant figure within this community,” said Chris Robb, a graduate from TSU. With the New England Patriots practicing directly across the street, it was easy to get captivated by the football season within Third Ward.

Not only were the NFL greats honored, but an opportunity train with former Houston Texan wide receiver, Andre Johnson in the all-star training camp at TSU’s very own Alexander Durley Stadium.

“It was a lot of fun,” DeVarion Lambert said, “it was a lot of running and stuff but it was cool.”

Jam Sports collaborated with Houston power team Vamplife Marketing Group to help raise

awareness to children within the foster care program.

With everything that was going on throughout the university, it was hard to imagine anyone who didn’t miss a couple classes. But not all of the events surrounded by football.

The Gridiron Celebrity Charity Basketball game hosted athletes and artist alike from recording artist Trinidad James and Dorrough Music to singing sensation, Tank, and even former football star and future Hall of Famer, Terrell Owens.

The halftime show featured some of TSU’s own fraternity and sororities celebrating the HBCU culture to kick off Black History Month.

“Everyone that was their really seem to enjoy the showcase that this star filled line-up,” said Nicholes Malveaux, CEO of Vamplife, “definitely an opportunity I hope we get to continue next year.”

The only thing worse than missing anything this week, is getting ready to go back to a regular day on the yard.

CAMPUS ORGANIZATIONS DEDICATE 51 HOMES TO HABITAT FOR HUMANITY IN HONOR OF SUPER BOWL LI

By: Todd Rogers Staff Writer

homes for well-deserved families in Settegast, an urban neighborhood in Northeast, Houston.

This year the Greater Houston area acted as the host city for the NFL’s 51st Super Bowl. Officials continued to beautify the city in for the big event with lights and skyline decorations, but there were also bigger plans in the works that benefit the city’s less fortunate.

Shannon Henderson, Program Coordinator for the Office of Campus Organizations works as a main point of contact in bringing high impact events to Texas Southern University (TSU).

The Super Bowl 51 Local Host Committee and Habitat for Humanity worked in conjunction with TSU Student Services and the Office of Campus Organizations to provide 51 new

“I would say about seven, or eight organizations participated with a minimum of four members each,” Henderson said, “TSU’s Habitat for Humanity organization and the Clinical Laboratory Association had the most members to participate.”

The Habitat for Humanity “Super Build LI” event took place on the Tiger Walk, Tuesday morning — January 24, 2017 from 10am to 2pm, with student volunteers working in two 2-hour shifts. The event not only provided Houston families with a foundation to a new home, but also offered community service hours for TSU students and their respective campus organizations.

Program Coordinator says the “Super Build” event was both physically and spiritually rewarding for TSU students, volunteers, and participants.

“The students that participated really enjoyed it. Some were quite sore because they’d never picked up a hammer, but overall it was a very rewarding experience,” Henderson said.

Some students used permanent markers to write words of encouragement to the families and recipients of the completed homes.

Knowing that Texas Southern University had a physical hand in the 51 dedicated homes, Henderson says she is “shocked and appreciative” of the number of students that participated.

“We are in a transformation period where we were trying to create a culture on campus about serving others,” Henderson said.

Campus News NFL, RISE Hosts Town Hall Meeting: From Protest to Progress By: Sara Jamison Staff Writer

On February 3, here at Texas Southern University, RISE (Ross Initiative in Sports for Equality) partnered with the NFL to discuss race and inequality in its second annual town hall meeting.

The panel featured: RISE founder/Miami Dolphins owner Stephen M. Ross, Hall of Famer Aenas Williams, TV Host Roland Martin, along with various players: John Bademosi, Michael Thomas, Josh McCown, James Ihedigbo, Benjamin Watson, Brandon Marshall, Malcolm Jenkins, Michael Bennett, Anquan Boldin, and Rashad Jennings.

RISE is an organization “committed to empowering athletes with opportunities to amplify their voice and make a difference within society through education, internal space for discussion, external infrastructure for collaboration, engagement with community leaders, and by moving from protest to action by getting involved with the community.”

During the meeting, Ross, founder of RISE, spoke on what brought about this change. The Detroit native didn’t become familiar with segregation until he moved to Miami, FL. It was there that he encountered colored people being told to sit in the back of the bus and that left him troubled. He knew that change was necessary.

In 2015, decades later, Ross took the initiative to “create change” through RISE. He saw this as “an opportunity to really step up and bring people together.” Ross knows that “it won’t happen over night, but it’s a start.” From there, he contacted several players and the rest is history.

Since 2015, athletes in various sports have joined RISE to end racism and discrimination on and off-field. This time, however, NFL players spoke out against the lack of influence in the community.

Seattle Seahawks defensive end, Michael Bennett said, “We have to go out and find black communities to give back to. We have to go back and find schools. The kids don’t see us… when the kids see us, they see hope. When they see hope, they see change.”

[Roland MArtin (left) Aeneas Williams (middle) Jocelyn Benson (right)] Bennett has questions for the educational system and the NFL and one of them is “how do we change our youth to make them feel important?” He’s noticed that, if you talk to a lot of African American kids, they don’t feel important, and his main focus is to change that!

Other players like, New York Jets wide receiver, Brandon Marshall believes that communication is key.

He mentioned we provoke change by starting with a conversation and went on to talk about how his teammates didn’t know some of the issues that we faced because all we talked about was ball.

Baltimore Ravens tight end, Benjamin Watson believes that this as a time for players to have a voice and speak out on these issues.

“We pay taxes. We go to work. We have children. We’re married. We’re all husbands. We’re fathers. We’re everything that everyone else is; so of course, we have an opinion about our country that we’re citizens in. We can’t be quiet anymore,” said Watson.

Though, communication and education is effective - it’s not enough to bring about true change.

Watson said, “To sit together, eat together, and do life together and still have hatred in our hearts, the next step in the Civil Rights Era is for people’s hearts to be changed and that comes through the power of God.” RISE knows that this change won’t happen

overnight, but it can start when each of us. No matter how big or small we may view ourselves, make a decision to stand up against discrimination and stand for what’s right.

“...when the kids see us, they see hope. When they see hope, they see change.”

TSU had four players scored in double figures as a crowd of nearly 4,000 people cheered on the teams.

Artavia Ford had an outstanding performance; she scored her fourth double-double of the season where she scored 12 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. She also had three blocks and two steals.

Sophomore guard, Joyce Kennerson had a game high of 21 points, which helped the Lady Tigers (14-7) advance to 8-2 in the Southwestern Athletic Conference. Kennerson’s three fouls did not hinder her from scoring 18 points in the second half.

“I thought our girls did a really good job. Early on we struggled because Joyce wasn’t on the

Kaityln Palmer contributed 11 points, grabbed four rebounds, and dished out five assists.

Shamiyah Brooks, playing against her former university, came off the bench and added a season-high of 12 points and blocked four shots to help defeat the Lady Panthers.

The Tigers next home game will be on the 18th against the Arkansas Pine-Bluff Golden Lions.

SUPER BOWL LI: Greatness Personified

By: Marcus D. Smith, Editor-in-Chief For the first 50 minutes of the epic bowl game, it seemed almost like the inevitable was going to occur, the end of a dynasty in Tom Brady, Bill Belichick, and the New England Patriots.

Down by an NFL Super Bowl record of a 25-point margin, 28-3, in the third quarter, Brady and company proved to be exactly what we thought they were, nothing short of great.

From a quick touchdown, that was followed with a missed extra-point, to the rugged defensive stands, to letting the greatest quarterback of alltime go be outstanding. Patriots climbed their way out of the hole and into the promise land, winning 34-28 in overtime.

The drive for five was a success and Brady and Belicheck are officially one of, if not, the greatest quarterback and coach of all-time.

You can say whatever you please: cheaters, con-artists, overrated, but make sure you include winners, dynasty, and untouchable.

Life & Style TSU ALUMNI HOST GLITZ & GRIDIRON FASHION SHOW AT BUFFALO SOLDIERS MUSEUM TO BENEFIT HOUSTON HBCU’S By: Todd Rigers Contributing Staff Writer

Texas Southern University alumnae, Corrie Williams put on a show during the week of Super Bowl LI. Her organization, the HBCU Legacy Project LLC, along with talented models, and an audience of themed-dressed supporters occupied the historic space of Houston’s Buffalo Soldiers National Museum on Thursday, February 2, 2017.

Actor, Aundre Dean was the host and emcee of the Glitz & Gridiron Fashion Show that evening.

“The goal of the event was to not only highlight HBCU’s while we have this platform.

Houston is on a major stage right now. Everybody is looking at Houston this weekend because of the Super Bowl,” Williams said, “So, we wanted to make sure that HBCU’s got a little bit of shine in that spotlight.”

The spotlight was on the models and designers with the theme of “Glitz & Gridiron: Super Women and Men of HBCU’s” and the audience took to, as well. Male models wore classic suits, sports coats and collegiate novelty sweaters. Custom bowties were provided by EBJ and many other styles from J.C Penney’s Michael Strahan Collection.

“Michael Strahan’s line was showcased tonight.

It’s his J.C Penney’s suit line. Even though he wasn’t here physically, J.C Penney’s made sure that because he is a TSU alumnus, and he’s an HBCU alumnus, and he is affiliated with the Super Bowl — that his line would be shown here tonight at our event,” Williams said.

The super women of the show wore designs from Houston’s MYLABEL Boutique, DiaBocage Custom Designs, Boss Lady Couture, and the House of Chargo. The models brought in a crowd of athletes, comedians, actors, and family with the cause of highlighting HBCU talent and raising money for HBCU alumni

coalitions like the HBCU Alumni Association.

“We do plan on giving them a check at the end of the night,” Williams said.

The event coordinators say that their team, including Mocha Millennium Women and Project 1855, put the event together in six-weeks.

After their third successful event, the Williams’ are looking toward the future and an increase in attendance.

(TSU alumnae, Corrie Williams is #TSUProud)

“We are actually thinking about doing this again for SWAC weekend — next year. March 2018,” Williams said, “Look for us to be doing something similar to this, probably on a bigger scale.”

Show Love on Valentine’s Day or Single Awareness Day By: Marcus D. Smith Editor-in-Chief If you’ve been out in your local grocery store or local drug-store or pharmacy such as Walgreens or CVS, you could not have helped but to notice the abrupt sale of Valentine’s Day gifts. Some being as cheap as five dollars, or as expensive as $50.

Now when walking in, you probably made an estranged face towards all the pink and red in the room. The atmosphere filled with roses and hearts, and who doesn’t love chocolate every now and then?

Couples, flings, situationships all over are figuring what their plans for Valentine’s Day are going to consist of: dinner, movie, how about a romantic long walk through the park. Don’t worry singles, this is your day as well. It’s a day

for you to realize and also have others realize just how single and lonesome you truly are.

But no matter if you’re going out or staying on the one day of the year that it seems everyone is in love, understand the importance of this day isn’t about spending money/time with someone you have deep affection for.

Rather this day is about showing love, spreading love to everyone. The essence of this day is to understand that love is the unyielding force which drives this world into becoming a better place. Keep that in mind when you place hate on the world out of impatience on finding your love. On the bright side of things, this marks the end of cuffing season as we transition into preparation for Spring Break.

Muslim Discrimination in the United States of America By: Ally Banks Political Columnist

Fear has been the leading tone of these emotional, but necessary discussions, and many Muslims are afraid that the worst is yet to come.

of America was founded. American Muslims are taking these acts of segregation as early warning signs, for they are extremely reminiscent of the Holocaust.

In recent acts of solidarity peaceful protest have taken place across the country, on Feb. 3rd Houstonians rallied together to show support for refugees, Muslims, women, and just about every other minority group President Trump has managed to offend during his campaign, now-presidency.

Although no one thinks things will go that far, the thought is still in the minds of many Muslims in this country, which they refer to as “home”, which would be scary for anyone.

President Trump has called for a temporary ban on Muslims entering the United States.

He directed an executive order banning travel between the United States and seven predominantly Islamic nations which include; Libya, Sudan, Somalia, Yemen, Iraq, Iran, and Syria.

Not only has President Trump order a Travel ban targeting Islamic nations, but he has also expressed openness to a Muslim registry of those who are already present in the country.

Ultimately, this registry will be isolating a group of American citizens based on religious beliefs, the very reason why the United States

However, the creation of a Muslim registry would probably be ruled unconstitutional.

The United States of America has no national religion, which allows everyone to practice his/ her religion freely. The U.S. Constitution is a secular document and only mentions religion twice, in the First Amendment, which states “respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,” meaning every citizen is allowed to practice his/her faith both openly and freely without persecution.

When religion is mentioned for a second time in Article VI, it states the prohibition of “religious tests” for public office. President Trump’s registry and travel ban are two ill matter ways of targeting one group of people who have done nothing wrong.

DNC Luncheon with Donna Brazile

President Trump claims that the ban and registry are tools to keep American citizens safe from future acts of terror, by Islamic groups from foreign nations, but if he wants to prevent terrorism he’s starting in the wrong area of the problem. Yes, terrorism is a real threat, but depicting Muslims as the poster child for terrorist attacks is misleading and discriminatory.

For example, according to the FBI Database, “there were more Jewish acts of terrorism within the United States than Islamic (seven percent versus six percent). These radical Jews committed acts of terrorism in the name of their religion. These were not terrorists who happened to be Jews; rather, they were extremist Jews who committed acts of terrorism based on their religious passions, just like Al-Qaeda and company.”

Jewish-Americans are more likely to participate in attacks of terror against the United States of America than their Muslims counterparts. American Muslims make up the second smallest group of terrorist groups in the United States. The largest groups are Latinos (42%) and Extreme Left Wing Groups (24%).

By: Ally Banks Political Columnist

Friday, January 27th college students around the Houston area had the honor and privilege of meeting and discussing current political issues with the Chair of the Democratic National Committee, Donna Brazile. Brazile is currently on a collegiate tour speaking with young democrats on ways to improve the Democratic Party, as well as restoring our faith in the future, and reminding individuals not to fear, but to fight.

Several citizens living in the United States of America are currently in a state of resistance against President Trump and his administration. It is no secret that President Trump has stroke a cord of fear amongst several groups of people all over the nation including; women, Latino-Americans, American Muslims, and African-Americans just to name a few. These also happen to be the same groups of people that both the Democratic and Republican Parties target during election season.

However, the support of youth, women, and minorities usually skews in favor of the Democratic Party. So, how did Hilary Clinton not win the 2016

election? The loss of Hilary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign was the main topic of discussion at the luncheon with Donna Brazile.

Well, one factor is that more than half of Americans voting age didn’t vote during this past election. Americans were not impressed with the 2016 presidential candidates. Many people say that the reason Hilary Clinton did not earn more votes was, because of her inability to connect with the American people.

Not only did Clinton not connect with citizens, but also a funding disadvantage and email scandal made it even harder for Clinton to compete with current President Trump. Chairwoman Brazile informed us that the Democratic Party simple does not have the same amount of funds as its political counterpart, the Republican Party. In Donald Trump’s last week of campaigning, he received a 75-million-dollar donation. Brazile, former campaign manager to Al Gore, said she had never experienced a candidate receiving such a large number of funding at the end of a presidential race.

The email scandal made Clinton seem untrustworthy to many Americans, and since Donald Trump had to the funding to run commercials reminding the American people of that particular situation helped led him to victory.

In 2016 millennials make up 56% of the population, that’s right, we are the largest generation in the United States of America. In fact, if only millennials would’ve voted, then Hillary Clinton would be President of the United States. However, the lack of support in the “right” areas of the country damaged Clinton’s campaign. Hillary Clinton did not receive the same amount of support as Barack Obama, which was a huge indicator of divide in the Democratic Party.

Donna Brazile closed with a message of unity, advising us to not only unify the party, but the country as well.

“While the law cannot force a person to be moral or tolerant, through the law we can demand respect and expect equality,” said Brazile.
