Page 2: VOLUME 66 NUMBER 29 April 10 - 16, 2014 UCONN …God, the nation experienced God's blessing as He led them as a nation (vv. 10-12). As a result of God's marvelous deliverance of Israel

In this psalm of praise, there isan exhortation to praise the Lord.Praise is the natural response of asaint who has been tremendouslyblessed of the Lord. As we listen toDavid, let us be encouraged topraise His name, for Psalm 108:1-5says "O God, my heart is fixed; I willsing and give praise, even with myglory. Awake, psaltery and harp: Imyself will awake early. I willpraise thee, O LORD, among thepeople: and I will sing praises untothee among the nations. For thymercy is great above the heavens:and thy truth reacheth unto theclouds. Be thou exalted, O God,above the heavens: and thy gloryabove all the earth."

In Psalm 66:1-4, the psalmistexhorts people everywhere topraise the Lord because of His

unusual works. They are urged tojubilance as they sing and speak ofHis mighty acts. He states, "Makea joyful noise unto God, all yelands: Sing forth the honour of Hisname: make His praise glorious"(vv. 1-2). God's works of deliver-ance in behalf of His people evi-denced His awesome power;therefore, nations should recog-nize that God is indeed awesome.His power is seen in verse 3 whichstates, "Say unto God, How terri-ble art thou in thy works! throughthe greatness of thy power shallthine enemies submit themselvesunto thee."

God's awesome deeds in behalfof His people demonstrated thatHe is in control of those nationsagainst God's people (vv. 5-7).God's deliverance of Israel isrecalled in verse 6, "He turned thesea into dry land: they wentthrough the flood on foot: theredid we rejoice in Him." Throughthose marvelous deeds of God inbehalf of His people, Israel encour-ages other people to extol God'sname in verses 8-9, "O bless ourGod, ye people, and make thevoice of His praise to be heard:

Which holdeth our soul in life,and suffereth not our feet to bemoved." Although the nation of

Israel had been tested severely byGod, the nation experienced God'sblessing as He led them as a nation(vv. 10-12).

As a result of God's marvelousdeliverance of Israel as a nation,the psalmist vowed to offer burntofferings in God's temple (vv. 13-15). The psalmist summoned oth-ers to hear what God had done forhim, for verse 16 says, "Come andhear, all ye that fear God, and I willdeclare what He hath done for mysoul."

Because the Lord had respond-ed to the psalmist's prayer in verse17, he uttered jubilant praise tothe Lord. In verses 18-19, thepsalmist took care of the sin issuein his life by stating, "If I regardiniquity in my heart, the Lord willnot hear me;" therefore, the Lordanswered his prayer. The psalmistcloses the psalm by blessing Godfor answered prayer, for verse 20says, "Blessed be God, which hathnot turned away my prayer, nor Hismercy from me."

As believers led by the HolySpirit, our natural response ofGod's awesome salvation will bemanifested in our lives, forEphesians 5:18-21 says, "And benot drunk with wine, wherein isexcess; but be filled with the Spirit;

Speaking to yourselves in psalmsand hymns and spiritual songs,singing and making melody in yourheart to the Lord; Giving thanksalways for all things unto God andthe Father in the name of our LordJesus Christ; Submitting yourselvesone to another in the fear of God."

In psalm 67, the psalmist recog-nizes that God's favor and blessingon His people evoked them topraise God in receiving an abun-dant harvest. In this psalm ofthanksgiving, the psalmist askedfor God's continual merciful bless-ing on the nation in relation to Hissaving ways as he prays, "God bemerciful unto us, and bless us; andcause his face to shine upon us" (v.1). Thus, the psalmist desired thatthe Lord's saving ways, "thy savinghealth," would be known amongthe nations (vv. 1-2).

Moreover, the psalmist sum-moned all people to praise Godwith jubilation because He rulesjustly (vv. 3-4). In verses 5-7, thepeople are called upon to praiseGod so that he would bless themby giving them an abundant har-vest. The psalmist rehearses inverse 3 and verse 5, "Let the peo-ple praise thee, O God; let all thepeople praise thee."

May God Bless!

By Benjamin F. Chavis, Jr.NNPA Columnist

Whenever there is a steady series ofpublic questions being raised about the“power” of Black Americans, you shouldalways first consider the motive andpurpose of the questions. Such was thecase recently when Richard Princewrote a column, which was posted onThe Root, titled: “Is The Black Press StillPowerful?” Of course the answer is“Yes, the Black Press in America is stillpowerful.”

What was the underlying motive forthis question being asked? I wonder ifPrince, a long-time employee of theWashington Post, has ever written a col-umn titled, “Is The White Press StillPowerful?” I seriously doubt it.

There is a larger contextual realitythat also needs to be considered. Thetruth is that during past year, there hasbeen a consistent series of so-called“mainstream” news articles, editorials,and blogs that have questioned the rel-evance, power and legitimacy of Black-

owned businesses and institutions.In addition, during this same time

period, the effectiveness and contem-porary purpose of our traditional civilrights organizations such as the NationalAssociation for the Advancement ofColored People (NAACP) and theSouthern Christian LeadershipConference (SCLC) have been called intoquestion.

A few months ago the New YorkTimes published story that questionedwhether Howard University and otherHistorically Black Colleges andUniversities (HBCUs) were still relevantand worthy of continued existence.

It is not a mere coincidence thatsome of these news articles and blogsare being written again by supposedly“well-intentioned” African Americans.We certainly support and defend theright to freedom of the press and theright of all people to express them-selves. Of course, the press has the rightto be wrong. With that right, however,goes a responsibility not to distort thetruth.

This is not about neither freedom ofthe press nor freedom of speech. This isabout the issue of racism and its procliv-ity to define and question reality. This isabout the fact that we still live in a soci-ety that continues to be undergirded bythe ideology of White supremacy thatpresupposes the false notion of Blackinferiority. And as long as that is thecase, there will be a need for powerful

Black institutions.The Black Church is powerful. The

Black Press is powerful. HBCUs are pow-erful. The NAACP and SCLC are stillneeded. While we have made consider-able progress in the last 50 years, we stillhave not overcome racism and its nega-tive impact on Black America. And thatfact is sometimes conveniently over-looked by Black journalists who work forsuch White-owned outlets such as theWashington Post and The Root.

For me and my codefendants in thecivil rights case known worldwide as theWilmington Ten, this is a personal mat-ter when someone takes issue with thepresent-day “power” of the Black Press.In 1972, the Wilmington Ten wereunjustly sentenced to a combined totalof 282 years in prison in the state ofNorth Carolina. We were falselyaccused and wrongly convicted of arsonand conspiracy to assault charges doinga 1971 racial riot over public schooldesegregation in Wilmington. A littlemore than a year ago, the NationalNewspaper Publishers Association(NNPA), the Black Press USA, launchedan effective national campaign to get anofficial “Pardon of Innocence” for theWilmington Ten.

For more than 40 years, many in theestablished media in the U.S. had pub-lished articles about the alleged “guilt”of the Wilmington Ten. In fact, the NewYork Times published a story in the late1970s under the headline: “The Case

Against the Wilmington Ten.” By theend of 2012, however, North CarolinaGov. Beverly Perdue agreed with theNNPA-led effort as she issued anunprecedented Pardon of Innocence toeach member of the Wilmington Ten.Gov. Perdue courageously stated, “Thiswas a case of naked racism.” We are,therefore, grateful to Gov. Perdue forher historic act and for her candor. Weare also very grateful to all of the Blacknewspaper publishers and writersthroughout the United States who con-tinue to uphold the proud banner of theBlack Press.

Let’s us never underestimate theenduring value and respect of all ourBlack-owned businesses and institu-tions. Of course, we always open toconstructive criticism and recommen-dations concerning how to strengthenthe economic status of the businessesthat are vital to our forward progress.However, it would be a tragic error toassume that because we now have aBlack American as president of theUnited States, there is no longer a needto sustain the very institutions, organiza-tions and businesses that have con-tributed so much to our progress.

I thank God for the powerful BlackPress in America. We all should be moresupportive of the Black Press, BlackChurch, HBCUs, and our ongoing strug-gle for freedom, justice and equality notonly for Black Americans, but also for allpeople across the nation and world.

By Congresswoman EddieBernice Johnson

The Civil Rights Summit in Austin,Texas to honor the remarkable con-tributions made by former PresidentLyndon Baines Johnson is vitallyimportant to our country. Theevent, attended by President BarackObama, and former Presidents BillClinton, Jimmy Carter and George W.Bush highlighted the achievementsof one of America's greatest leaders.The past presidents, along with mycongressional colleague and friend,Congressman John Lewis, deliveredpersonal tributes to PresidentJohnson, who was raised in centralTexas.

President Johnson, who served asvice-president in the administrationof President John Kennedy, returnedto Texas after deciding not to seek asecond term as president. Greatstrides in civil rights, education andhealth care were made during hisadministration. The phrase, a "GreatSociety" was coined during hisadministration.

This year marks the 50th anniver-sary of the Civil Rights Act whichbecame law when President Johnsonsigned the legislation on July 2nd1964. It is more than fitting thatPresident Johnson's life and accom-plishments are celebrated in Texas,as they will be during the course ofthis year in Washington, and in otherparts of our country. I am hopefulthat his vision of a "Great Society"will live forever.

While in office, PresidentJohnson demanded that states thathad "polls taxes," a barrier to manyAfrican-Americans participating inthe voting process, eliminate thepractice. Hundreds of thousands of

new voters registered because ofwhat President Johnson demanded.Like some of my congressional col-leagues, I believe that PresidentBarack Obama would not have beenelected had President Johnson notacted as he did. President Johnsonis a true American hero whodeserves our admiration for all thathe did to make this country a betterplace for all of its citizens.

The achievements of the JohnsonAdministration were not limited tocivil rights. Creating Medicare wasone of his major accomplishments.Prior to its enactment, nearly 70 per-cent of America's senior citizen pop-ulation did not have health insur-ance.

All of that changed whenPresident Johnson signed Medicareinto law on July 30th, 1965, bringingmental comfort and security to mil-lions of Americans 65-years of ageand older. Prior to that time, themajority of our seniors could notafford healthcare coverage. Manydied prematurely.

When he decided not to run for asecond term as president, hereturned to Texas. I was a memberof the Texas Legislature, and on theday that he visited the capitol build-ing in Austin, my son, Kirk, and Iwere present. President Johnsondied of a heart attack one week later.

His funeral was held on the sameday that my son celebrated his birth-day. During his funeral service itrained as if the sky, itself, was crying.My son and I went to the burial site,and spent time with Mrs. Johnsonand her daughters after returningfrom the cemetery.

While many in America viewedPresident Johnson only through thelens of the Vietnam War, hundredsof thousands of African-Americansin the southern United Statesadmired him greatly. One presiden-tial historian wrote that PresidentJohnson was the only Americanpresident whose achievements inthe field of civil rights approachedthose of President Abraham Lincoln.

Keep an eye on the little things.Your windshield wipers aren’t clean-ing as well as they should? Your gastank is missing its cap? There’s awarning light on your dashboard?When you see your car needs atten-

tion, don’t delay. Repairing smallthings now can help avoid more cost-ly problems down the road and addyears of useful vehicle life.

You would think that news of a highschool student from a family of Africanimmigrants getting accepted into alleight Ivy League universities would bemet with universal celebration. If youthought that, think again.

First the news:In the next month, Kwasi Enin must

make a tough decision: Which of theeight Ivy League universities should heattend this fall?

A first-generation American fromShirley, N.Y., the 17-year-old violist andaspiring physician applied to all eight,from Brown to Yale.

The responses began rolling in overthe past few months, and by late lastweek when he opened an e-mail fromHarvard, he found he’d been acceptedto every one. School district officials

provided scanned copies of acceptanceletters from all eight Monday. Yale con-firmed that it was holding a spot forEnin.

The feat is extremely rare, say col-lege counselors — few students evenapply to all eight, because each seeksdifferent qualities in their freshmanclass. Almost none are invited to attendthem all.

The Ivy League colleges are amongthe nation’s most elite. (USA Today)

Comments posted on the newswebsite reddit leave little doubt thateven with all of Enin’s accomplish-ments, many people will never seebeyond his race. The comments showappalling ignorance not only about racein the United States, but about the col-lege admission process itself.

A person with the sign-in name ofHairlesswalkingchimp wrote, “I’mgonna get real with you reddit; no mat-ter how pissed this makes you it doesn’tchange the fact that he would not havehad this absurd success if he was awhite kid.”

A writer identifying himself asJetusan asked, “Are you just as pissedthat 30% of admissions at Harvard arelegacies? How many are less qualifiedwhite people, I wonder?”

That’s a point most critics miss.Universities, including Harvard andYale, admit a certain number of stu-dents in each class based on whether a

parent attended the Ivy League institu-tion. They call them “LegacyAdmissions” and that’s how George W.Bush got admitted into Yale, followingin the footsteps of his father and hisfather’s father. Other students areadmitted because a parent made amajor donation to the university.

“I am surprised that no one hasmentioned that for the seven otherschools he chooses not to attend, 7 stu-dents will be chosen from the schoolsrespective wait list, and let’s be realistic,odds are they are white.”

Overlooked in some of the posts isthe fact that college admissions deanstry to construct a balanced class, notrobotically picking applicants based ongrades and SAT scores.

“Ivy Leagues don’t want well round-ed applicants, they want a well roundedclass,” wrote house_music_420. “It’smuch easier to get in if you do some-thing out of the ordinary and are reallygood at it instead of being pretty goodat many things. I’ve talked to collegeadmissions people and they all say thatthey are trying to build a well roundedclass.

“For example 10 people from myhigh school applied to Stanford and theonly one who got in had a 3.5 GPA (low-est of the 10) and a 2030 SAT (lowest ofthe 10) and he was in my class strug-gling mightily.”

Comeonreally8 wrote, “I am an

admissions interviewer for one of thetop ivies and I see a HUGE number ofminority applicants with top grades,great SATs, and great leadership in theirextracurriculars and they are rejectedjust as often as the non-minority appli-cants. So everyone saying ‘OMG IT’SONLY BECAUSE HE’S BLACK’ calmdown, being a minority is not some freepass to get into college. It is still incred-ibly challenging and rare to get into thetop ivies. This kid sounds brilliant and Iwish him all the success.”

Wrote retop56: “This comment sec-tion is nothing short of hilarious. Yes,schools look for diversity in admissions,but it seems like a lot of people reallythink he did nothing except check a boxthat he’s black and waltz into 8 Ivys.”

One person wrote, “There are1000s of spots for white students to getin but when they fail to do so, theyblame it on the 50 black students thatthey let in every year.”

A White writer, JadeChaosTheory,noted: “Just by being white we have aton of advantages in general – minori-ties need the boosts where they can getit.”

He explained, “He [Enin] could grad-uate college with flying colors and stillstruggle to find a job/move up in theworkplace because casual racism is areal and prevalent thing and there is aninnate fear of people of color in posi-tions of power.”

By Dr. J. Ester Davis

We all know that there aremany mysteries about lostvoyages. But with technologyas advanced as we pretend itis, it is not sufficient to deter-mine in 2014, where a huge,wide-bodied Boeing 777 is.Are our radar systems reli-able? At what point when fly-ing is the plane un-track-able?Why do we have state of theart aviation with Rolls RoyceEngines and medieval time-pieces? The time is ticking onthe black box, which recordedthe last moments of Flight 370,from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysiaseveral weeks ago.

Just the term "several weeksago" sounds unrealistic in ourinformational age of 'rightnow'. How can you lose aplane? That is exactly thequestion I have started with inmy personal survey with thecommunity. And the theoriesare endless. Opinions arecountless. One of my fansreminded me of the black boxin the Ron Brown UnitedStates Air Force plane crash in

1996. Very, very controversialsubject, especially amonginformed African Americans.Ron Brown was PresidentClinton's Commerce Secretary.He was also the top fundraiserfor the administration. RonBrown's plane disappeared inthe Adriatic Sea while on atrade mission to BosniaHerzegovina with over 30other business executives.

Ron Brown's body wasrecovered, the black box wasnot. Magnum mayhemturned heated when an appar-ent bullet hole showed up inhis body. An autopsy was notconducted. These series ofevents evolved over a lengthyperiod of time, and emotionsran high with the circum-stances.

Glenn Miller, band leaderand jazz musician, famous forseveral recordings, was flyingfrom England to France toentertain troops at the closeof World War II. He neverarrived in France. The planewas never found. So manymysteries. So few answers.Too many authorities. Andabsolutely too much newsabout what is not happening.

With the lost of Flight 370,we have indeed learned a lot.At one point in the investiga-tion, there were more than 26nations and 15 ships in theoceans searching. The search-es were meaningful in theory,but negative in communica-tion. Maybe what the world

needs now is less technologyand more talk.

AP- Connecticut won the 2014 NCAA National Championship inwomen's basketball, beating an undefeated Notre Dame 79-58.

Geno Auriemma and Connecticut stand alone in women's col-lege basketball, and they reached the top in unprecedented fash-ion.

The Huskies routed Notre Dame 79-58 Tuesday night in the firstchampionship game featuring undefeated teams, winning theirrecord ninth national title. Auriemma broke a tie with Pat Summittand Tennessee for most all-time, doing it in her backyard.

Breanna Stewart, who was the AP's player of the year, scored 21points to lead the Huskies (40-0) while Stefanie Dolson added 17points, 16 rebounds and seven assists. Auriemma took out his sen-ior center with a minute left and the pair embraced in a long hug.

The victory also means that UConn is now the center of the col-lege basketball world with both the men's and women's teamswinning the championship in the same year again. The men'steam beat Kentucky in the title game Monday night. This pair ofvictories come a decade after the Huskies became the only schoolto accomplish the feat.

The two former Big East rivals, who have no love lost for eachother, put on a show in a game that women's basketball hopedcould transcend the sport. The coaches added to the drama of thegame with their verbal sparring on Monday. But it was Auriemmawho got the last word again.
