Since Montgomery was the site of the bus boycott, let's look at Alabama 50 years after Rosa Parks launched the New South. The numbers below make it quickly obvious that though many of the legal gaps have been closed, the structural gaps created by slavery and segregation remain. In fact, the Rainbow PUSH Coalition this week called upon Governor Riley of Alabama to create a bipartisan commission to address the massive structural inequality that is part of the social fabric of Alabama and the south today. We could make the same demand of every governor across the New South--indeed, in every state in our less-than-perfect Union. It is a model that attempts to build around inclusion. At home, we continue to turn a blind eye to those who are being left behind--those without resources, those ...
-Maryland enacted the nation's first "Anti-Amalgamation Law." It specifically outlawed marriages between Black men and white women. Soon, several other colonies followed Maryland's example. It would not be until the 1960s that U.S. Supreme Court, in the famous Loving v. Virginia case, declared all such laws unconstitutional. And even though it was not being enforced, it was not until 2000 that Alabama officially became the last state to strike its law banning interracial marriages from the books. -The first National Negro Convention of Free Men met in Philadelphia, Pa. Among a wide range of issues on the agenda was a resolution encouraging free Blacks to boycott the purchase of items produced by slave labor. AME Church founder Richard Alien was elected president of the conventio...

They cannot visualize the television images of Blacks being attacked by water hoses, police dogs, and 'billy-club' armed police officers on Bloody Sunday in Selma, Alabama in 1964. They cannot fathom being denied food service at many neighborhood restaurants in nearly every city in the nation. And while many may know the name, the new generation of Blacks may not appreciate the decision Rosa Parks made to ignore Jim Crow Laws, which subsequently launched the successful 382-Day Bus Boycott in Birmingham, Alabama that ultimately led the Supreme Court to outlaw racial segregation on any form of public transportation. At the same time it is also prudent to point-out other BGO's (blind glimpses of the obvious). Young people today do not have to hear the repeated tales of their ancestors walk...
In 1926, Sadie Warren, the wife of Edward Warren, one of the Amsterdam News' first publishers, purchased the paper. It was resold on January 10, 1936 to two West Indian physicians, Clelan Bethan Powell and Phillip M. H. Savory, who served respectively as editor-publisher and secretary-treasurer. Under their management, the now semiweekly paper became the first African-American newspaper to have all of its departments unionized. During this period, the paper began to focus on not only local, but national events as well. Many prominent African-Americans including W.E.B. Du Bois, Roy Wilkins, and Adam Clayton Powell Jr., contributed columns and articles to the Amsterdam News. Marvel Cooke, who began her journalistic career during the Harlem Renaissance, joined the staff, becoming the paper...

-Martin Luther King Jr., the man who was to become America's greatest civil rights hero, was born on this day in 1929. Actually, his original given name was "Michael" but it was later changed to Martin. He first rose to national prominence as the country's premier civil rights leader when he successfully led the 1955-1956 Montgomery, Alabama bus boycott by Blacks angered by the arrest of Rosa Parks for her refusal to give up her seat on a city bus to a White man. In 1957, King was elected to head the Southern Christian Leadership Conference which became the leading organization of the civil rights era. Between 1957 and 1968, he traveled over 6 million miles, gave over 2,500 speeches, was arrested over 20 times, and physically assaulted at least 4 timesall on behalf of civil rights f...
