Join us today 5:30 CST as we raise the subject of: 

 

Gun violence and moral collapse:

 

When you see or hear the slogan Black lives matter what does that mean to you; What is taking place in our country that leads many to believe that the lives of blacks does not matter?

 

 

If there is legitimate concerns surrounding issues of policing and police practices in communities of color, particularly the African-American communities why do some individuals attempt to diminished or ignore these concerns, by talking about issues of African-American fathering and community violence among black youths?

Join us today 5:30 CST as we raise the issue:

 

 Eric Garner no indictment and the seeds of distrust that exist, we are asking you to think about a few things…..

 

Are we at the point of saying don’t do the crime or escalate a situation and maybe you will not experience death at the hands of law enforcement?

 

What can be said about the various protest we are seeing around the country by Americans of different ethnic backgrounds….. I read one sign that said you don’t have to be Black to be concerned about issues of policing… Does that say something about the character of the American people and our desire for a more just society?
