He competed against two other candidates and on Saturday night Galloway was officially named the winner of the contest. His season tickets will be paid for and he will receive two additional…
BLACK HISTORY MONTH By James M. Stephens Special to The Tribune Hers is just another of those African American names many-both Black and white-are only vaguely familiar with; its full recall almost negated with the passage of time and its story largely written from the perspective of a more dominant white ideology. Medical students, especially those specializing in cancer, immunology and infectious disease research, are very familiar with her name as her cells, known as HeLa cells, undergird much of modern medicine. The HeLa cells were integral to the research fundamental for vaccines against COVID-19. The racial inequities and disparities…

Brenda Gilmore, a longtime North Nashville lawmaker, recently got her first dose of COVID-19 vaccine— and she is encouraging every Tennessean, especially disproportionately affected black and brown citizens, to make an appointment. “I am feeling great after receiving my first dose of the coronavirus vaccine because I know I am helping put an end to this pandemic,” Sen.

By Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr. Be very clear. What happened on January 6, 2021 was an attempted coup d’etat that had an inside and outside dimension and strategy! It was an undemocratic effort by President Donald Trump and over 150 Republicans to reject the popular votes of the American people in the 2020 presidential election and replace them with their own Electoral College Votes.
