• Here’s Britain’s version of history’s 70 greatest black achievers. What, no Naomi Campbell? []
• A black deputy was killed by a white convicted felon who kept racist writings, but officials are still on the fence about whether racism was involved in the crime. Really? [TBO]
• To say the least, the Your Muslim Bakery debacle gave Oakland-area African American Muslims a bad name. [IBA]
• After several Latino men were arrested in the execution of three black college-bound teens, Newark leaders make a preemptive move to keep racial tension between black and latinos at simmer. [NYPR]
• Want the racial breakdown of 8 new majority-minority U.S. Counties? Some of them have fewer than 100 blacks. [BE]
They couldn’t come up with 30 more? Some of them have glaring omissions, i.e. Marcus Garvey. Yes, he urged black people to be proud, but then there’s that other thing he’s remembered for.
Yes, 70 was an odd number to come to, but the list was good…a couple of ppl I had never heard of. I was very happy yo see my boy Stokely Carmichael was on there.
