Overcoming segregation in Alabama becomes responsibility of HBCUs – historically Black colleges and universities
HUNTSVILLE, Alabama Jamie Fleming is like other non-traditional college students in several ways. He has a strife and a nineteen-month-old son. He has a full-time job and he commutes more than 240 miles a week to attend classes. But until Fleming, who graduated from an all-white high school on rural Sand Mountain, Alabama, enrolled at Northeast Alabama State Community College on a scholarship, he had never sat in a classroom with an African American.

Gone Fishin.’ – book reviews
Gone Fishin’, the first-written and latest-published of Walter Mosley’s Easy Rawlins novels, may well be his finest work. Written in 1988, the book is a complex work with layers of meaning, yet it is deceptively simple and therefore easy to read and completely absorbing. Perhaps that is one of the marks of a classic.

What’s in a name? African American or multiracial? – defining one’s self
The most important thing any oppressed people can do for themselves is to define who they are. Identity begins with naming yourself, in finding your own voice. This is the reason that names have always been significant to African Americans.

The Ebonics debate: separating fact from fallacy

Free education for students of African descent
For decades, there have been discussions on how to properly compensate people of African descent for the hundreds of years of free labor provided during slavery in America. Models have already been established. Indigenous Americans (incorrectly called Indians because Columbus thought he landed in India) were forced onto reservations but are now courageously fighting in the courts to regain their land. The American Japanese are being financially compensated for being imprisoned during World War II in American internment camps. European Jews are being financially compensated by the German government for the atrocities they experienced in Nazi prison camps during the Second World War. Yet people of African descent have not been compensated for the massive tragedy they experienced here in America.
