Carter G. Woodson

Carter G. Woodson is man who we thank every year for the inception of Black History Month.  He had the immeasurable intellect to establish a holiday that went on for a whole month.  A recognition that would highlight the talent and strengths of African Americans during a time when we didn’t know if Jim Crow would ever lose its foothold in North America.  (more…)

The New Orleans Saints put it down on the field for the 44th Super Bowl last night against the Indianapolis Colts.  Maybe next year Colts!  Both teams were supreme in their execution, but only one can be top dog.   So hats off to you Saints!  The game was good, but who in the hell dug up The Who for the halftime show?  They’re classic and all, but there’s way too many fans in the stands that really are saying “The Who?” (more…)
