  Elvis Presley, often hailed as the "King of Rock and Roll," revolutionized the music industry in the 1950s with his unique blend of rock, country, and rhythm and blues. Born in Tupelo, Mississippi, on January 8, 1935, Presley rose to prominence with hits like "Heartbreak Hotel" and "Hound Dog," which showcased his dynamic voice, charismatic stage presence, and provocative dance moves. His breakthrough came in 1956, when his television performances captivated audiences, making him a cultural icon. Elvis's contribution to music extended beyond his genre-blurring songs; he also starred in more than 30 films, including Jailhouse Rock and Viva Las Vegas, further solidifying his place as a multi-talented entertainer. Despite his immense success, Presley's personal life was fraught with struggles. His later years were marked by health problems, addiction, and isolation. In 1977, at the age of 42, he passed away at his Graceland estate in Memphis, Tennes...

  Bob Marley, born Robert Nesta Marley in 1945, is perhaps the most recognizable figure in reggae music and one of the best-known musical icons in the world. Born in Jamaica, Marley began his career in the 1960s with his band, The Wailers, blending elements of ska, rocksteady, and reggae into a distinctive sound. His socially conscious lyrics, infused with messages of love, peace, and resistance, resonated with audiences worldwide. Albums like Catch a Fire and Exodus propelled him to international stardom, with songs like "One Love," "No Woman, No Cry," and "Redemption Song" becoming anthems for peace and human rights. Marley was also deeply committed to the Rastafarian faith, which played a significant role in shaping his worldview and music. He advocated for Pan-Africanism and was seen as a unifying figure, not just in Jamaica but globally. Despite being diagnosed with cancer in 1977, Marley continued to tour and produce music until his death in 1981. Hi...

  LOS ANGELES – Bloods and Crips are “bangin’” for peace after signing a treaty during a highly anticipated meeting  I asked who would join the effort of the 10,000 Fearless to help make their neighborhood a safe and decent place to live during the mid-July meeting. Days later various organizations held their first follow-up meeting.

 

  When most people think of environmental issues, topics and phrases such as recycling, electric cars, community gardening, clean energy, and chemical-free are at the forefront of their minds. However, there is also another reality of environmental issues that do not come to people’s minds or they may be unaware of, the degradation of health in majority Black and Brown communities. Several reports regarding air pollution ranked Chicago’s South Side and West Side as having the worst air quality in the nation. Both areas of the city comprise of predominantly Black residents and were found to have some of the air pollutant known as PM2.5. The air pollutant particulate matter 2.5, also known as PM2.5 consists of fine particles made of emissions from the combustion of gasoline, oil, diesel fluid or wood. This type of pollution can travel deep into the lungs and blood, increasing the risk of death from respiratory disease, as well as heart attacks and strokes, and cancer. Advertisement A...

  Global-North nations, including the United States and countries in Europe, bear the responsibility of global warming and Global-South nations, including those located in Africa, suffer the consequences. According to the UN fact sheet on climate change, Africa, a continent that contributes merely two percent of the Earth’s growing carbon emissions, bares the full force of the consequences of global warming, none more so than in climate-fueled armed violence. A United Nations special rapporteur said that even if mitigation of climate change measures were met, there is a high probability that tens of millions would still end up impoverished, leading to widespread displacement and hunger. Philip Alston, UN Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights, noted three years ago that while people in poverty are responsible for just a fraction of global emissions, they will bear the brunt of climate change, and have the least capacity to protect themselves. “We risk a ‘climate apa...

  What hinders us from exercising? What stops us from setting and achieving a goal? Maybe it’s a lack of knowledge, or maybe, it’s the presence of pain. In Study Guide No. 6 in “Self-Improvement: The Basis for Community Development,” it states that “Desire is the food source of the Will. We “exercise” the Will by overcoming resistance. The principles of action mentioned in Study Guide No. 6 which “direct and support the essence of our being are: Prayer, Zakat (Charity); Fasting; Hajj (Pilgrimage), and Jihad (using one’s utmost efforts in contending with an object of disapprobation).” Notice that prayer is listed first because it “generates the Desire to perform the other principles of action, out of Love and Adoration for the Creator.” Out of love and gratitude for the Creator for our life, we should strive to “actively” preserve and care for this wonderful vessel He has given us. We should, as the Holy Qur’an says, “Pray and do Good.” Pray and set a goal. Set your goal and take a ...

 H ow large retailers such as Dollar General and Kroger exploit low-income communities’ lack of access to local banking to hit consumers with predatory cash-back fees. While many retailers still offer free cash back at the register, Dollar General, Dollar Tree, and Kroger collectively rake in $90 million a year from fees imposed on people using the retail locations to access their own money. At Dollar General and Dollar Tree/Family Dollar, cash-back fees for small withdrawal amounts are the highest in the sample ($1 fee or more for cash-back amounts under $50). Kroger, the country’s largest grocery chain, recently announced new charges at their Harris Teeter stores (75 cents for $100 cash back or less), and charges 50 cents for up to $100 cash back at their other brand stores such as Ralph’s, Fred Meyer, and others. Mickie Such fees are disproportionately levied against people with lower incomes, who are more likely to live in areas with fewer banking options—forcing residents to r...
