569px-Larry_Johnson_KC_ChiefsLarry Johnson’s legacy with Chiefs not the one he wanted
Dick Vermeil recalls a running back who ran with a vengeance. A young man who wanted his coaches and teammates to do more than just notice. Larry Johnson wanted them to remember. Johnson would take the ball, run toward the opening at the line and target a defensive player. They wouldn’t forget this. “He knocked the hell out of them,” Vermeil, a former Chiefs coach, said Monday.

Activists allege racism in Connecticut child welfare agency
Taking advantage of a short reprieve from a rainstorm, Rev. Cornell Lewis and one of his followers don bright yellow jackets and trek to one of the poorest sections of Connecticut’s capital city to slide white sheets of paper into doors and mailboxes.

Hollywood: Same as it ever was for Black actresses
With Precious, Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry are attempting to change both the Oscar game and what audiences have come to expect from black movies. Precious: Based On The Novel Push By Sapphire, is extremely powerful, but I sincerely doubt it will change anything for black actresses in Hollywood. The film is strong, but not that strong. Even if totally successful on every level—from box office receipts to a cultural shift away from the paralysis of self-pity—Hollywood will continue to go along as it has gone. Too many people are satisfied with the cardboard darkies that supposedly represent black women on film in the past. (Continue Reading…)
