TO OUR READERS, SUPPORTERS AND ADVERTISERS,
The last three issues we honored African Americans, U.S.
Service Men and Women &
Veterans who served this
country with dignity, pride,
excellence and honor.
The last pictorial issue will be
published February 27th.
These issues are designed to
start conversation about Men
and Women who served this
country.
American War. The sinking of the U.S.Navy
Battleship marine, in Havana Harbor on
February 15, 1898, and the resulting loss of
American lives gave both, the civilian and
military forces the cause that they needed
for war. However, the suddenness of this
terrible event revealed the shortcoming in
military preparedness.
The army at this time only totaled little
more than 26,000 men and 2,000 officers.
To make matters worse, the small numbers by Dr. William B.Lyons IV
of experienced combat troops were stationed at numerous forts throughout the west. Under these circumstances, some of the first units ordered to Cuba were four black regiments. The War Department determined that blacks were immune
to the diseases of the tropics and capable of more activity in high,
humid temperatures. Black Buffalo Soldiers were among these men.
During this conflict, Buffalo Soldiers were described as "most gallant
and soldierly". On one landing at Tayabacoa, Cuba, 10th Calvary
Privates William H. Thompskins, Fitz Lee, Dennis Bell, and George
Wanton voluntarily went ashore in the face of enemy fire to rescue
wounded U.S. and Cuban comrades. After several attempts, they
succeeded. Each was awarded the Medal of Honor. A career soldier,
Thompskins was eventually buried at the Presidio's San Francisco
National Cemetery, along with another 450 Black veterans of the
9th and 10th Calvary and the 24th and 25th Infantry.

‘Dallas’ Too Busy Growing To Hate
February 20 - 26, 2014
The Dallas Post Tribune
EDITORIAL PAGE
DEAR EDITOR:
Dear Editor,
A new report from the
American Cancer Society predicts
that breast cancer will likely affect
more Texans than any other cancer
in 2014. But it doesn't have to.
Studies have shown a link
between high cholesterol and
breast cancer, and scientists say
the research suggests that women
may be able to reduce breast cancer risk by either taking cholesterol-lowering drugs or eating a
healthy, low-cholesterol diet.
Personally, I would rather up my
intake of colorful meals than colorful medicines. Fruits and vegetables have zero cholesterol, which is
just one reason why you'll find
scores of them on lists of "cancerfighting foods." Whole grains are
cholesterol-free too. In fact, no
plant product contains any cholesterol.
But meat, eggs, and dairy products all pack a cholesterol punch. A
single egg has 212 milligrams,
three and a half ounces of shrimp
has 194, and three and a half
ounces of chicken liver delivers a
whopping 631 milligrams.
I lost the person that I was closest to, my grandmother, to breast
cancer when she was just 64 years
old. So reducing my breast cancer
risk is important to me. And cutting
animal products out of my diet is
an easy way to do that.
Going vegan is one of the best
decisions I've ever made, and I
hope that, until there is a cure for
breast cancer, others will join me in
taking this important step for their
health.
Sincerely,
Michelle Kretzer
BLACK HISTORY MONTH: NEEDED NOW MORE THAN EVER
By Marc H. Morial
NNPA Columnis
“There is no more powerful
force than a people steeped in
their history. And there is no
higher cause than honoring our
struggle and ancestors by
remembering.”
– Lonnie Bunch, founding
director, National Museum of
African American History and
Culture
Ever since the 2009 election of
Barack Obama as America’s first
Black president and the 100th
anniversary of the National
Urban League in 2010, the perennial debate about the need for
Black History Month has intensified. Some have questioned the
need for a special month to rec-
ognize the many unknown and
unsung achievements of African
Americans. With Obama as president, the logic goes, we have
now achieved Dr. King’s dream of
a non-racial America where
everyone is judged by the content of their character, not the
color of their skin. I wish it were
so.
Last year, we celebrated the
50th anniversary of the March on
Washington and the passage of
the Voting Rights Act. This year
marks the 50th anniversary of
the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the
repeal of the poll tax. But unfortunately, the suppression of voting rights and other instances of
racial discrimination remain. All
one needs to do is look at the
glaring disparities between
Blacks and Whites in income,
employment, incarceration rates,
educational achievement and
health status to see that race still
matters in America. Income
inequality and equal opportunity
are still part of the unfinished
business of American democracy.
In 1926, after centuries of
Blacks being excluded, not only
from the mainstream of
American life, but also from the
textbooks in our schools, African
American historian Carter G.
Woodson did a service to all
Americans when he created
Negro History Week, which was
expanded to Black History Month
in 1976. Woodson’s vision was
one of unity and inclusion. He
said, “What we need is not a history of selected races or nations,
but the history of the world void
of national bias, race, hate and
religious prejudice.” That is a goal
that America is still struggling to
achieve.
In fact, legislatures in a number of states, including New York,
Illinois, Pennsylvania and New
Jersey, have passed laws mandating or encouraging teachers to
broaden their history courses to
include more ethnic, racial and
gender diversity. That is why we
still recognize March as Women’s
History Month, May as Jewish
American
History
Month,
September 15 to October 15 as
Hispanic Heritage Month and
February as Black History Month.
These celebrations serve a dual
purpose: first to build selfesteem among historically
oppressed people, and second to
remind all Americans that in the
face of seemingly insurmountable odds, our diversity is our
greatest strength.
Black history is American history. While the story and
achievements
of
African
Americans are especially celebrated this month, the contributions we have made and the
struggles we still face deserve
recognition every day of the year.
Next year, for the first time, Black
History will enter the mainstream when the Smithsonian’s
National Museum of African
American History and Culture
opens on the National Mall in
Washington. The Museum
describes itself as “a place of
meaning, of memory, of reflection, of laughter, and of hope. It
should be a beacon that reminds
us of what we were; what challenges we still face; and point us
towards what we can become.”
As we honor those who have
made history, we must also recognize that we are history in the
making. Through our work, commitment to equality and civic
engagement, we can and we
must, in the words of President
Obama, continue to “right the
wrongs of history and make our
world anew.”
Beyond the Rhetoric Affordable Care Act - It's Terminal
By Harry C. Alford
NNPA Columnis
To overhaul and drastically
change a major industry that
accounts for one sixth of our
economy is more than aggressive. It is revolutionary. There
are 31 million Americans who do
not have insurance. So, a need
to change was quite obvious but
how you do it remains a mystery.
Yes, the attempt is being made
but so far it is a comedy (or
tragedy) of errors. Nancy Pelosi
said, "We must first pass the bill
then we can read it and find
what it is all about." We followed that logic and have gotten
ourselves into a mess with historical proportions. Obamacare
is mired in confusion and the
Department of Health and
Human Services is truly going in
circles at 100 miles per hour.
It is just too big. Insurance is
an industry made up of many
corporations with governance
over their brand and delivery
system. There is no way one
entity can manage all of this but,
for some reason, our government feels it can do it. No government can run a business and
especially not a giant industry.
The many thousands of pages
written to implement this law
remind me of a road map filled
with many streets crossing each
other. As the mistakes are being
rolled out, excuses, accusations,
spin and sometimes downright
lies are being applied by those in
charge of implementing this law.
History will show that this is perhaps one of the biggest blunders
ever by this great nation.
An important piece of this
operation is to be the website,
www.healthcare.gov.
HHS
decided to give a no bid contract
to a Canadian company by the
name of CGI for the construction
of the site. CGI had just been
fired by the province of Ontario
for inferior work and this isn't
the only government to have
trouble with this company.
Predictably, it was a nightmare.
My sons could have put this
website together far better than
this
scandalous
company.
Finally, amid all of the press
exposing all of the mistakes
being made by this contractor,
HHS decided to cut their losses
(approximately $100 million)
and replace CGI. Did they go to
Google, IBM, CSC, etc. for competitive proposals? No, they
went the way of another no bid
contract to the tune of $91 million given to Accenture. This
company was once known as
Arthur Anderson but they
changed to Accenture after their
involvement with the infamous
Enron scandal.
Accenture has a reputation
that is not too illustrious.
Chances are not much improvement is going to be made. The
headquarters of this company is
Ireland - yes, another foreign
firm. Why are they in Ireland?
Ireland is tax free and has
become a haven for businesses
trying to avoid America's tax system. It's like the Cayman Islands,
Bermuda, etc. What really troubles me about the website is
who is helping build it. It has
been confirmed that programmers from the nation of Belarus
are involved in the construction
of this site. Belarus is known for
one thing. They have the most
vicious Internet hackers in the
world located there. My Lord,
what are we getting into? The
"fox" is working in the "hen
house". The website is already a
disaster and it looks like it is
going further south real fast.
The program is based on a
"bet". It assumes that young
people under 30 years will heavily populate the enrollment.
That way these healthy enrollees
will have little claims and could
offset the cost of older persons
with illness history and those
with pre-existing conditions. It is
not working that way - so far,
50% of the enrollees are over the
age of 40. Thus, the cost estimates are terribly miscalculated
and this program is headed for
bankruptcy. Probably, the participating insurance companies will
need a government bailout to
the tune of hundreds of billions
of dollars.
This program is just out of
control. There are too many
variables and the management
skill sets needed to pull this thing
off are just not there. The law is
being amended in an unconstitutional manner. Changes are to
be made with Congress' approval
and they are not. In fact, there
have been 27 delays as we roll
the program out. Various groups
are being waived and that is
against the written law. It's helter skelter.
The Congressional Budget
Office has issued its comprehensive report about this Affordable
Care Act/Obamacare.
This
nation will lose 2.3 million jobs
over the next few years as a
result
of
the
program.
Furthermore,
30
million
Americans will remain uninsured. Wasn't the goal of this
monster to ensure the uninsured? My people this is spelling
FAILURE. Certainly, it is a great
concept. The major problem is
we have the wrong players in
this game. Save our money, pull
the plug and let's return to our
insurance system.
"THE PSALMIST'S SUPREME CONFIDENCE IN THE STEADFAST C
HARACTER OF GOD" PSALM 61:1-8
Rev. Johnny C. Smith,
Pastor – Mount Moriah
Missionary Baptist Church
The superscription of this
blessed Psalm 61 reads, "To the
chief Musician upon Neginah, A
Psalm of David." The word "neginah" means a stringed instrument; thus, this psalm can be
played upon a stringed instrument. The historical occasion for
Psalm 61 is unknown; however,
in this psalm, David is awfully
depressed but he gains confidence in the Lord as his Rock.
The word of God informs us in I
Corinthians 10:4 that the "Rock"
is Jesus Christ, that verse reads,
"And did all drink the same
spiritual drink: for they drank of
that spiritual Rock that followed
them: and that Rock was Christ."
In verses 1-2, David expresses
his feeling of being weak and he
prays to the Lord for strength and
safety, "Hear my cry, O God;
attend unto my prayer" (v. 1).
David petitions to be led to a
place of safety; thus, he wanted
to be led to the "Rock" that is
higher than he was, "when my
heart is overwhelmed: lead me
to the rock that is higher than I"
(v. 2). In times of deep trouble
and distress, we need God's
steadfast protection, for Psalm
17:8 says, "Keep me under the
shadow of thy wings."
Yes, as the storms of life rage,
we need God's comfort and
assurance as He grants to us His
unfailing mercy, for Psalm 57:1
states, "Be merciful unto me: for
my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in
the shadow of thy wings will I
make my refuge, until these
calamities be overpast." David
experienced tremendous spiritual relief in the above examples by
placing his faith in the steadfast
character of God. God will never
abandon His saint and one can
be assured of God's presence in
any situation, in that Hebrews
13:5-6 says, "I will never leave
thee, nor forsake thee. So that
we may boldly say, The Lord is my
helper, and I will not fear what
man shall do unto me."
Having expressed his weakness, David declares his confidence in the steadfast character
of God, his only source of protec-
tion (vv. 3-4). David knew that
God was indeed a sure hiding
place against his enemies as
verse 3 states, "For thou hast
been a shelter for me, and a
strong tower from the enemy."
God's presence is a sure place of
safety for all believers! Because
of the Lord's faithful promise to
him, in verse 5-7, David was confident of God's protection in prolonging his life; thus, David's life
will be sustained by God's love
and faithfulness, "Thou wilt prolong the king's life: and his years
as many generations" (v. 6).
Because of the Lord's faithfulness toward him, David vows to
sing and to praise the Lord for His
deliverance, "So will I sing praise
unto thy name for ever, that I
may daily perform my vows" (v.
8).
May God Bless!
A Little Bit of Faith: : You Are Loved
By Colleen White
The most wonderful love letter ever written is the Bible.
The Bible allows mankind to
hear God's voice, experience
His love and compassion for His
people, and to see how our
hope is built on His son Jesus
Christ. All of us have a strong
desire to be loved. We want a
sincere love, a love that will
never end, and a love that will
stand the test of time.
Since we all desire to be
loved, Valentine's Day can leave
many of us feeling unloved and
not wanted. But if we move
toward the Word of God, He
can help us to see that His per-
fect love for us is all that we
need. There is no need for us
to feel lonely or unloved. He
loves us more completely and
more deeply than anyone ever
can.
Therefore, in First John, it
reminds us that God loves us
completely. "We have known
and believed the love that God
has for us. God is love" (1 John
4:16). The purest, most honest,
and most joyful love that we
can ever experience is the love
that our Heavenly Father has
for us. As a matter of fact,
God's love for us always has
action. He does not give us lip
service, he shows us. The
major way God has shown how
much He loves us is by giving us
His only Son Jesus. Jesus was
born of a virgin, lived among us,
crucified, and He rose again.
So if you were feeling a little
lonely, unloved, and unwanted
this past Valentine's Day, cheerup. Know that you have a
greater love. The love of God!
Amen? Amen.

TAURUS
Trust your special knowledge of
yourself and the universe and use
that knowledge as a guide this
week. Not everyone will trust in

their lack of faith shake your belief
in yourself. Knowledge of external
processes is not nearly so important as knowledge of yourself this
week.
Soul Affirmation: Doing good this
week is the key to feeling good.
Lucky Numbers: 9, 19, 20
GEMINI
It’s not always what you know, or
even who you know that paves the
road to success. Sometimes it’s
just being in the right place at the
right time that counts. Be prepared to answer when opportunity
knocks this week. Accept your
good fortune graciously, and
share it with others.
Soul Affirmation: I go within
myself to find a place of calm
where I can rest.
Lucky Numbers: 17, 24, 51
CANCER
In our society looks sometimes
matter more than they should, but
that is not to say looks don’t matter at all. Presentation is important, keep that in mind as you walk
through life. This week take a few
extra moments to make sure that
your physical self is as attractive as
it can be. You will see a bigger than
usual change not only in the way
others feel about you but in the
way you feel about yourself.
Soul Affirmation: When things get
strange I find peace in the ordinary.
Lucky Numbers: 1, 3, 45
LEO

approach them with modesty. Give
yourself time for romantic encounters. The romantic vibe is high.
Soul Affirmation: I keep my true
purpose ever before my eyes.
Lucky Numbers: 23, 46, 51
VIRGO
Ask the friend who comes calling
to tell you about the moneymaking idea that is on his or her mind.
The two of you would be good
together. Have a private chat with
a family member. Make keeping
secrets your specialty. Events bring
stress but you’re cool.
Soul Affirmation: I find joy in the
simple pleasures of the week.
Lucky Numbers: 21, 39, 55
LIBRA
Responsibilities at home keep you
from traveling. It’s all for the best.
Outside ambitions can wait. Keep
your spirit light! Look for love in
the right places. Possibilities for
love increase at home. The tendency to overreact at school or
work is strong. Guard against it.
Soul Affirmation: My creative
ideas are my greatest treasures.
Lucky Numbers: 32, 40, 54
SCORPIO
Flexibility and cooperation are the
words for this week. Driving a hard
bargain will create an impossible
barrier. It’s a great week for fun!
Give in to it. Flow. Give in to the
party mood but don’t forget
school or work. Remembering to
forgive and forget is especially
important this week.
Soul Affirmation: Moving slowly
might be the fastest way for me to
get there.
Lucky Numbers: 5, 46, 49
SAGITTARIUS
There is a lot on your plate. Be
methodical about taking care of it.
Get kids involved in something fun
and educational. It’s a good time
for it. Save time for romance. Visit
a favorite restaurant. Appetites
must be fed in a healthy way.
Soul Affirmation: I seek the lighthearted flavor of love.
Lucky Numbers: 14, 52, 53
CAPRICORN
Make some plans regarding longrange financial security. Your present frame of mind is good for that.
Someone you flirted with wants to
be your companion. Give the universe a chance to bring love into
your life by being a welcoming
soul.
Soul Affirmation: I give and the
universe gives back to me.
Lucky Numbers: 23, 41, 49
AQUARIUS
A practical solution is at hand to
one of your inventions. Give yourself some space to allow the
answer to come to you. Any repetitive task, such as weeding the garden or washing the dishes or car,
will be conducive to your receiving
the solution.
Soul Affirmation: Things are working together for my good.
Lucky Numbers: 16, 32, 35
PISCES
You may feel an internal pressure
towards responsibility this week.
Go with the flow and this week will
be like a gift. Judging others will
bring harsh judgments on you. Let
your words assist others in becoming more self-responsible. You are
a good teacher of right actions.
Soul Affirmation: I slow down and
find the success that has been following me.

Gearing up for STAAR
TRUSTEE CARLA RANGER, DISTRICT 6
Trustee Carla Ranger
Gearing up for STAAR
The
State
of Texas
Assessment of Academic
Readiness (STAAR) exams are
quickly approaching and
Dallas ISD students and staff
have been working hard to prepare for success. STAAR
replaced TAKS in 2012, and is
designed to measure how well
students have mastered the
content taught during the current year, rather than the
knowledge and skills learned
over multiple years as in the
previous state test. STAAR is a
more rigorous test which better
aligns with college and career
readiness standards and puts a
heavier focus on critical thinking.
This year, students will find
a few changes to STAAR
including a time limit for completing the test and a decrease
in the number of End of Course
exams. Students will have a
four-hour time limit, with the
exception of English I and II,
which will have a five-hour
limit. Another change of interest is the number of End of
Course (EOC) exams high
school students must take.
Students are required to take
five EOC exams, which
include Algebra I, English I
and II, Biology and U.S.
History.
In addition to working with
students to help them improve
their academic performance,
Dallas ISD held workshops and
a live forum for parents earlier
this month to provide information and strategies they can use
to help their students prepare
for the exams. Additional
workshops are scheduled, 6 7:30 p.m., at the following
locations:
•Seagoville High School,
15920 Seagoville Road -March 2
•W.H. Adamson High
School, 309 E. Ninth St.
-- March 25
•Emmett J. Conrad High
School, 7502 Fair Oaks Ave., - March 25
•Molina E Moises High
School, 2355 Duncanville Rd.,
-- March 26
•David W. Carter High
School, 1819 W. Wheatland
Rd., -- March 27
You are encouraged to take
advantage of all the resources
you can find to help your student. Many schools provide
after-school
tutoring
or
Saturday school to reinforce
what students are learning in
the classroom and assist those
who may need additional help.

YES, WE SERVED during
World War I. By the time of
armistice with Germany on
November 1918, over 350,000
African Americans had served
with
the
American
Expeditionary Force on the
Western Front. Although most
African American units were
neglected to support roles and
did not see combat, some
African American soldiers,
played a notable role in
America's War effort. One of
the most distinguished units
was the 369th Infantry
Regiment, known as the
Harlem Hellfighters, which was
on the front lines for six
months, longer than any other
American Unit in the war. One
hundred and seventy one
members of the 369th Infantry
were awarded the Legion of
Merit. Some of the most
notable African - American
units which served in this war
were:
92nd Infantry Division
369th Infantry ("Harlem
Hellfighters)
370th Infantry Regiment
371st Infantry Regiment

of Blacks serving in the United
States Military Services has
increased significantly. As of
FY09 {fiscal year 2009}, Black
Soldiers comprised approximately 20% of the active-duty
Army, 13% of the Army
National Guard, and 22% of the
Army Reserve.
Although there are not
recruitment
goals
for
racial/ethnic groups, the Army
has maintained a force representative of our Nation's diversity, reflecting a belief that all
American citizens have equal
obligation to provide for the
national defense. With the end
of the military draft and the
beginning of the All Volunteer
Force (AVF) in 1973, there was
concern that social representation, especially with regard to
race, would not be maintained.
