It is the year 2021, and the General Election is less than three weeks away. Are you going to vote in the election? I hope so.

Rationale of why I selected Mike Duggan - the right person for the time In 2013, everyone knew we needed good municipal management, and Mike Duggan was the ideal candidate.

A similar version of this language has been introduced in each legislative session in Michigan for the past 12 years and has failed. Why? Because then, as now, it is a bad idea. From the very start,...
White folks and Black folks both have a big problem, but until White America makes reparations to Black people for chattel slavery their guilt will remain. And until Black folks forgive White folks for chattel slavery our ill feeling about it and them will never end. This is why White folks do not want the truth of Chattel slavery (critical race theory) taught in our schools. It reminds them of their unconfessed/unrecompensed sin and that is what hurts. They didn't even give us the 40 acres and...
