History has proven that no one is going to protect, nurture, or advocate for Black women and girls but us—

Not the Democratic Party to which we are more loyal than any other voting bloc. 

Not the school systems that suspend Black girls at alarming numbers. 

Not white feminists who often forget that we are women too. 

Not the patriarchal Black church that prospers on the backs of faithful sisters. 

Not the Black community that is still making excuses for one Mr. Robert Kelly and too many men just like him.

Still-my-President Barack Obama said, “We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.” And, particularly in the case of Black women, he “ain’t never lied.” But the reality of this truth frightens me. I am not scared because I don’t trust in the strength of Black women. I do. We’ve been getting shit done for centuries. Harriet Tubman. Fannie Lou Hamer. Senator Maxine motherfucking Waters. I am not scared because I don’t believe in the healing power of sisterhood. There are women in my life to whom I will never have to explain myself. They recognize how the hair curls tightly at the nape of my neck. They know my code-switched voice and my relaxed one. They know my recent history and the one encoded in my DNA. I can speak to them in the shorthand of familiarity. There is something cathartic and validating about the support of someone who knows you. And no one knows the Black female experience like a Black girl or woman. Black women have loved on each other and supported each other throughout our history in America. We have watched babies; held hands in hospital rooms; cried together; prayed for each other and laughed about the “good good” over good wine. I trust that sort of love power to manifest the impossible.

Former college football coach Lou Holtz returned to Trine University’s Distinguished Speaker Series on Oct. 16.  Holtz, the namesake for Trine’s Master of Science in leadership program, previously spoke in the series in March 2015. He served as the university’s Commencement speaker in 2011 and received an honorary doctorate from Trine at that ceremony.  Holtz also was a member of the university’s board of trustees and was recognized with emeritus trustee status during the Distinguished Speaker Series event held in the Ryan Concert Hall of the T. Furth Center for Performing Arts.  

Holtz is the only coach in the history of college football to take six different teams to a bowl game, win five bowl games with different teams and have four different teams ranked in the final Top 20 poll.  The Follansbee, West Virginia, native became the 25th head coach of Notre Dame following two seasons at Minnesota (1984-85), seven at Arkansas (1977-83), four at North Carolina State (1972-75) and three at William & Mary (1969-71). He spent the 1976 season as head coach of the New York Jets of the National Football League.  After his departure from Notre Dame following the 1996 season, he joined CBS Sports’ College Football Today for two seasons as a sports analyst and worked with United States Filter (a global provider of water treatment) as a customer relations spokesperson. 

From there he went on to be head coach at the University of South Carolina for six seasons from 1999-2004, where he led the Gamecocks to back-to-back Jan. 1 bowl games for the first time in the history of the school and defeated Ohio State in consecutive bowl appearances.  Until 2014, Holtz was a college football studio analyst on ESPN. He appeared on ESPNews, ESPN College GameDay programs, SportsCenter, and served as an on-site analyst for college football games. He is currently in his second year with SiriusXM Radio as a co-host for two sports programs: a golf show broadcast throughout the year entitled “Holtz In One” and two weekly college football shows during the season.  He also is a widely sought-after speaker and author of three New York Times best-selling books. He and his wife Beth are the parents of four children, grandparents to nine children, and currently reside in Orlando, Florida.

Rapper Killer Mike tearfully tells Atlanta protesters: "I am tired of seeing black men die"

George Floyd death: Ex-officer charged with murder in Minneapolis

A former Minneapolis police officer has been arrested and charged with murder following the death of an unarmed black man in custody.

Derek Chauvin, who is white, was shown in footage kneeling on 46-year-old George Floyd's neck on Monday. He and three other officers have been sacked.

Days of looting and arson in the Minnesota city have boiled over into nationwide protests.

The case has reignited US anger over police killings of black Americans.

What did the prosecutor say?

Hennepin County Prosecutor Mike Freeman said Mr Chauvin was charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter.

He said he "anticipates charges" for the three other officers but would not offer more details.

Mr Freeman said his office "charged this case as quickly as evidence has been presented to us".

"This is by far the fastest that we've ever charged a police officer," he noted.

According to the criminal complaint, Mr Chauvin acted with "a depraved mind, without regard for human life". 

What's the latest on the protests?

On Friday evening, the White House was placed on lockdown after a protest was held outside. "I can't breathe," demonstrators could be heard chanting, invoking the last words of Mr Floyd and Eric Garner, a black man who died after being held in a police chokehold in New York in 2014.

The lockdown ended at about 20:30 EDT, with the US Secret Service reopening the building's entrances and exits to staff.

Meanwhile, curfews have been ordered for the Twin Cities of Minneapolis-Saint Paul, from 20:00 to 06:00 on both Friday and Sat night.

On Thursday, during the third night of protests over Mr Floyd's death, a police station was set alight. A number of buildings have been burned, looted and vandalised in recent days, prompting the activation of the state's National Guard troops.

Why has a US city gone up in flames?

Twitter hides Trump tweet for 'glorifying violence'

In Atlanta on Friday, a police vehicle was set alight as protesters gathered near the offices of news broadcaster CNN.

There have also been demonstrations elsewhere, including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Denver, Houston, Louisville, Phoenix, Columbus and Memphis.

Frustration was already simmering over the recent deaths of two other black Americans, Ahmaud Arbery in Georgia and Breonna Taylor

How did George Floyd die?

..

Mr Floyd's family and their lawyer, Benjamin Crump, said that the arrest was "welcome but overdue".

The family said they wanted a more serious, first-degree murder charge as well as the arrest of the other officers involved.

The statement called for the city to change its policing, saying: "Today, George Floyd's family is having to explain to his children why their father was executed by police on video."

Former US President Barack Obama also weighed in, saying: "This shouldn't be 'normal' in 2020 America."

His statement added: "If we want our children to grow up in a nation that lives up to its highest ideals, we can and must be better."
