American conservative, so-called “right-wing”, political commentator Ann Coulter is on a speaking tour of Canadian universities this week.

The student asked that [...]

Op-ed submission by Project 21 Black History Month is an ideal time to measure progress. This year is especially appropriate as we embark on a new decade. Some indicators of progress are how blacks are catching up with their white counterparts with regard to income, education and political participation. In the latter two categories, reports say blacks [...]

Let me share this comment by Ana to my post on Black History. Not loving ourselves enough, recognizing, respecting and appreciating our differences have been the detriment of African people.

Op-ed submission by Project 21 For me and a special group of youth in North Tyler, Texas, Black History Month began in September.

One of the advantages and dangers of the cyber age, is that anyone can post their opinion for the world to ingest.
