News You Ought To KnowThank God we live in America. Some people say they

would rather live in Canada, Brazil, Mexico, Germany, Spainor Israel. Giving all respect to these countries, but as for myhousehold living in America is truly a blessing.

When I think of the goodness of God, where else can a boyborn and raised in a house owned by coal miners becomeDirector of a television station!

Where else can a boy born to tenant farmers (one step upfrom slavery) become a Leader and Associate Dean of aUniversity!

Mrs. Rosetta Tharpe, an American gospel and blues singer,was born in Cotton Plant, Arkansas. She earned wide recog-nition and a place of honor in the field of music history.

Mrs. Barbara Jordan was born in the notoriously poor FifthWard of Houston, Texas. She went on to accomplish a seriesof firsts in Texas political history becoming the first AfricanAmerican woman elected to the U. S. House ofRepresentatives.

President Barack Obama, a man born to an African andAnglo American said it best and I quote, "America is a land ofbig dreamers and big hopes". It is this hope that has sus-tained us through the revolution and civil war, depression andWorld War I & II, and the struggle for civil and social rights. Itis because of dreamers like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. andcountless others, that we have emerged from each challengemore united, more prosperous and more admired thanbefore.

President Barack Obama, an African American man, grewup in America and became President of the United States.

In spite of the flaws in our political system, we must bethankful we live in America. Where else can you express thefreedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of assem-bly, and of course, freedom of press? But we as Americansmust participate and fight to sustain the Christian principlesupon which this great nation was founded.

Your participation is a pledge to vote. In spite of the fact, that they lied to us just as they did the

American Indians, America is a great place to live at this timein history.

Thank God, we live in America!Please email us or write us to express your view!

THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OFAFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY AND

CULTURE BREAKS GROUND

(AP)-President Barack Obama and Former First Lady Laura Bushjoined together Wednesday, February 22, 2012, to celebrate thestart of construction for the National Museum of AfricanAmerican History and Culture, which came during Black HistoryMonth.

The Museum will be built between the Washington Monumentand the National Museum of American History as a seven-levelstructure with much of its exhibit space below ground. A bronze-coated "corona," a crown that rises as an inverse pyramid, will beits most distinctive feature. Organizers said the design is inspiredby African-American metalwork from New Orleans andCharleston, S.C., and also evokes African roots.

Some exhibits will eventually include a Jim Crow-era segregat-ed railroad car, galleries devoted to military and sports historyand Louis Armstrong's trumpet, among thousands of items.There will also be a court for quiet reflection, Museum DirectorMr. Lonnie Bunch said. Actress Phylicia Rashad, famous from“The Cosby Show”, hosted the groundbreaking ceremony.

I am always fascinated bythe impact of human emo-tions on our consumerbehavior - whether thoseemotions are inspired bytragedy or triumph. Twotelevision broadcasts maderatings history recently,one because of a tragedyand one because of a tri-umph: the 54th AnnualGrammy Awards on CBSand the contest betweenthe Los Angeles Lakers andthe New York Knicks,February 10, on ESPN.Nielsen research hasproven Americans lovesports and music program-ming. African- Americansare typically well-repre-sented in both. TheGrammy Awards havebeen a viewing favorite.Research backs up thecommon sense notion thatBlacks tend to gravitate toprogramming where thereare larger numbers of peo-ple who look like us - butthis year, the number of uswho watched theGrammys was almost offthe charts (no pun intend-ed). The recent 54thAnnual Grammy Awardsattracted nearly 40 millionviewers (39.9 million),which made it the largestGrammy audience since1984 and the secondlargest in the history of thebroadcast. Of those 39.9million viewers, African-Americans made up 6.21million. That means awhopping 60% more Blackfolks watched theGrammys this year thanlast (3.7 million out of atotal viewership of 24.7million in 2011).Some people like me maytune in to see who's wear-ing what. How fabulouswill our favorites be, orhow outrageous? Othersare true music aficionados.While the why for thisyear's phenomenal successof the Grammys has notyet been officially ana-lyzed, I suspect that thetragic news of the suddendeath of beloved musicicon Whitney Houston thenight before piqued theincreased interest. If youwere like me and myfriends, we were reelingwith disbelief. Tuning intothe Grammys seemed tooffer a kind of solace andcomradery in our collectivedesire to pay homage to amusical phenomenon whowas one of our own. Now, in the interest of fulldisclosure, the show didn'thold my attention for longbeyond the luscious LL'sprayer for "our fallen sis-ter" (a very nice touch).But after his intro and hav-ing glimpsed the outra-geous outfits of NickiMinaj, Gaga and the sweet

acknowledgements fromAlicia Keys and BrunoMars, I begged myFacebook friends to wakeme up when they got tothe Whitney tribute.Someone from Ft. Wayne,Ind. (my hometown) actu-ally alerted me when GlenCampbell's tribute cameon. (You couldn't grow upin the Fort without beinginundated with his musicback in the day). So I loud-ly and proudly sang alongto the tribute. My sonwatched me with hismouth hanging open indisbelief. "Really, mom?!Seriously, you LIKE thiscountry music?" (If hereacted like this to my GlenCampbell tribute, he doesNOT want to be aroundwhen my sister, his AuntNatalie, goes berserk overKenny Rogers). FollowingJennifer Hudson's movingtribute of "I Will AlwaysLove You," and after fight-ing back tears, I clicked off.On the flip side, Americanslove to cheer on an under-dog, a "Rocky," a championwho rises from the ashesof obscurity to achieve vic-tory. In two words:Jeremy Lin. It was my bas-ketball-playing son whoturned me onto the phe-nomenon that was takingplace with the undrafted23-year old, Harvard-edu-cated Asian-American fromCalifornia and his fortu-itous match-up against theNew Jersey Nets. Lin hasaveraged 27 points pergame - launching him frombench warmer to globalsuperstar. In addition to a73 percent increase inviewership of Knicks gameson MSG and ESPN in NewYork, nationally theFebruary 10 gamebetween the Knicks andthe Lakers on ESPN was themost-watched Friday nightregular season NBA gameon the network, so far thisseason - with just over 3million viewers.On top of that, NM Incite(a Nielsen McKinsey com-pany) reports that socialmedia buzz has also hit afrenzied pitch around theworld since the firstFebruary 4 game. Eventhe phrase "LinSanity" hasbeen coined. The onlinechatter about Lin has sur-passed conversationsabout the Knicks, LeBronJames and Kobe Bryantcombined. Now, that'spowerful. And so are you.Because, if you followthese ratings stories, youknow these surges inincreased viewership are aresult of people just likeyou and me tuning in. It'sgreat news for the net-works as well as the adver-tisers. Those advertisersare dedicated to reachingus - the consumers. Whichbrings me to my mantra,"Knowledge is power." Thepower is in your hands,and so is the remote con-trol.

We need to do more thanmove; improve. We need todo more than get; give. Weneed to do more than regret;repent. We need to do morethan sympathize; help. Weneed to do more than attendchurch; worship. We need todo more than teach the truth;live it. We need to say morethan a prayer; live it. We

need to do more than build ahouse; make a home! Insteadof trying to alter our Bible tofit us, we need to change our-selves to fit it. What we thinkof the Bible does not affect it,just us. The world has heardthe golden rule for about2,000 years, now it needs tosee it practiced to believe it.

Planes crash and kill manypeople, but they fly. Fifty-fivethousand die each year on thehighways, but people stilltravel them. Banks still fail,but most people haven't lostfaith in the banks. Pharmacistsometimes fill a prescriptionincorrectly, but we are notafraid to get medicine fromthem. But, the least littlething today causes some to

want to completely give up onthe Lord and the Bible. In ref-erence to Christ, "Yea, mineown familiar friend, in whom Itrusted, which did eat of mybread, hath lifted up his heelagainst me." (Psa.41:9)

Giving up, and turning ourback on difficulty will neverproduce happiness here orhereafter. May God help us todo what we ought to doinstead of what ourself's wantto do. Solomon was one ofthe wisest men who everlived, yet he yielded to theflesh and made the wrongdecisions (Eccle. 2:15). Whatdifference does it make howlong we live if at the end wemake no serious effort to dis-charge our duty toward God?

(Eccle. 12:13-14) We preparethe way of the Lord simply bybeing the right kind of ser-vant, parent, church member,and teacher (Rom 2:21). Talkis cheap, where are the com-passionate hands? We arenot obliged to carry out mis-takes around with us (Phil.3:13).

HOROSCOPES February 23 - 29

Mrs. Colleen White

If you are in need of comfort andassurance, perhaps you should readthe 23rd Psalm. This particular Psalmhas helped to reassure many people

that they are not alone because God iswith them. "The Lord is my shepherd; Ishall not be in want. He makes me liedown in green pastures, He leads mebeside quiet waters, He restores mysoul" (Psalm 23:1-2). The wonderfulthing about the 23rd Psalm is that itpaints a lovely picture of the HeavenlyFather and how He can provide com-fort and rest for a weary soul.

All of us get a little weary from timeto time. All of us could have a littlereassurance that we are loved andcared for by God. Even when our pathsare dark and dreary, the HeavenlyFather is there for us. "Even though Iwalk through the valley of death, I willfear no evil, for you are with me; your

rod and your staff, they comfort me"(Psalm 23: 4). God can provide com-fort for us in any situation. If you aregoing through a divorce, God is withyou. If you have lost a loved one, Godis with you. If you are having some dif-ficulties at work, God is with you.Therefore, in our darkest hour, God iswith us always.

So never fear because ourHeavenly Father is always near. Aslong as our Father is with us, we havenothing to fear. We can then begin tomove freely in His love knowing that Hehas our back. How does it make youfeel knowing that God has your back?Are you beginning to feel the weight ofthe word lifting off your shoulders? If

so, that's because you know deepdown in your heart that you are notalone.

Can you begin to let go of your hurt,pain, and anger? If you said yes to allthree, then you are ready to receiveGod's love, grace, and mercy. "Surelygoodness and love will follow me all thedays of my life, and I will dwell in thehouse of the Lord forever" (Psalm23:6). Then if you are ready to dwell inthe Lord's house forever, you are readyto receive Him into your heart. Are youready to find rest in His love today? Iknow I am. Amen? Amen.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

A Little Bit of Faith: Find Rest In His Love

YOU . . . are INVITED! InConcert, Friday, March 9, 2012.6:00PM.

GREATER NEW ZION BAPTISTCHURCH. Call 214-421-4119.The Inspirational Gospel Choirof Bethune-Cookman University,Daytona Beach, Florida.

Of course you are invited tobe our very special guest. Thisis a free family concert openedto the community. You know,history is so inspirational andpowerful. History, which is madeeveryday, just goes round andround the block many times. Ifyou are not paying strict atten-tion, you will not recognize it.

When the announcement wasmade about the Florida choir

being presented at my church,the question was asked why wasthis church chosen for thespring break tour. Great ques-tion. So, let me connect thedots for you. You will enjoy thisgood true story. Greater NewZion celebrated its 134th birth-day this past January, 2012. Thehistory of this church is a mas-terpiece. It is rich with first gen-eration educators, the taskmas-ters commissioned to teach thegreatest generation of AfricanAmericans before segregation.The church is laced with 33rddegree Masonic Masons anddevout missionaries. When Dr.King and integration arrived, we,were fully prepared to confrontthe missions of entering corpo-rate America - engaging andexceeding the now defunct affir-mative action mandates. Inplain English, we could read,write, punctuate, annotate,notate, articulate. A fine exam-ple of what learning had creat-ed. That's another story howev-er.

Back to the subject of con-necting dots. Rebecca Foley, a

grand educator, a living legend,is a member of Greater NewZion and at one time served asour church secretary. About thesame time Rebecca Foley wasstarting her educational jour-ney in Texas, a black woman inFlorida, Mary McLeod Bethune,was president of her own col-lege, The Daytona Normal andIndustrial Institute for NegroGirls (now known as the "Great"Bethune-Cookman University).The college was writing history,captured and propelled by theblack press, observed by blackwomen all over America whobecame enamored with Dr.Bethune's every accomplish-ment. Rebecca Foley's daugh-ter, Trudie, played the role of Dr.Bethune in a school play as anelementary school student. Dr.Bethune served as a role modelto the young Trudie during herformative years.

Dr. Bethune, one of 17 chil-dren, founded the college in1904. In 2004, Dr. Trudie KibbeReed, assumed the presidencyof Bethune-Cookman University,the first woman to serve, the

fifth president of the college,since Dr. Bethune. Dr. TrudieReed turned the college into auniversity and retired last year'at the top of her career' afteraccomplishing all goals includ-ing enhancing academic excel-lence, developing distance edu-cation programs and reinvigo-rating the legacy of Dr. Bethunefor the 21st century. She islocally and nationally creditedwith breaking all fund-raisingrecords, raising more than $40million dollars in a short periodof time alone with drafting leg-islation for the future.

Again, the concert is free andopen to the public. We wel-come and invite the BethuneCookman Alumni wherever youare and especially look for thePresidents of the NationalCouncil of Negro Women, whichwas also founded by Dr. MaryMcLeod Bethune. See you onMarch 9.

T h eBible is indeed the word of God whichexpands many years of human history,and yet serves as the contemporarymessage for human kind today. It is anamazing book written by some fortyauthors under the inspiration of God.What is meant by these authors beingunder the inspiration of God is that Godsuperintended every word so writtenthat what was written was preciselywhat God wanted disclosed to man.The great Apostle Paul gives insight

into the doctrine of the inspiration ofscripture in II Timothy 3:16-17 when hesays: "All scripture is given by inspira-tion of God, and is profitable for doc-trine, for reproof, for correction, forinstruction in righteousness: That theman of God may be perfect, thoroughlyfurnished unto all good works." TheBible is indeed the word of God!Because God superintended everyword chosen in the Bible, it is a super-natural book in nature and amazinglyaccurate in its revelation. Yes, Godused men who were no doubt fallible,but as it relates to the scripture, thesemen were guided by God as they wrotebecause II Peter 1:20-21 says:"Knowing this first, that no prophecy ofthe scripture is of any private interpreta-tion. For the prophecy came not in old

time by the will of man: but holy men ofGod spake as they were moved by theHoly Ghost." The men referred to inverse 21 were the human authors whowere guided by the Holy Ghost as theywrote. It is our Christian position thatthe Bible is the plenary (fully inspired),inerrant (contains no errors) revelationof God to man. The original manuscriptis errorless, and can be trusted asGod's complete revelation to man.From Genesis to Revelation, the centraltheme of the Bible is Jesus Christ. Heis revealed in scripture as God, beingthe second person of the eternalGodhead. In the Bible, God disclosesHis plan of salvation for lost humanity.Jesus Christ came as God's gift of sal-vation for lost humanity, and those whowould appropriate the gift by faith are

given eternal life (John 3:16; Romans6:23b). In closing, it is a wonderfulthought to ponder that an infinite andHoly God condescended to let finiteman, though sinful as he, in on the wayto get to heaven. The Bible reveals thatthe only way to heaven is through beliefin Jesus Christ because He says inJohn 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, andthe life: no man cometh unto the Father,but by me." Don't you want to escapethe wrath of God? Anyone wanting toescape eternal separation from Godcan turn to Jesus Christ, and accept inyour heart the words of John 5:24 whichsays: "Verily, verily, I say unto you, hethat heareth my word, and believeth onHim that sent me, hath everlasting life,and shall not come into condemnation;but is passed from death unto life."

Dr. David L. LaneCONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK...

The Teleological Argument.

The word "teleological" isderived from the Greek words"telos" meaning "end or purpose"and "logos" "meaning the reasonfor". The argument says that order-liness denotes purpose. What is thepurpose or reason of it all. Thatcan't be explained without God.Behind every creation there mustbe a creator. Behind all order theremust be an orderer.

When one examines a watch heknows that the frame and all of itsparts are put together for a pur-pose. The parts are adjusted so thatthey produce motion and themotion is so regulated as to point to

the hour of the day. The watchmust have an intelligent maker anddesigner. No one believes a watch isthe result of an explosion in awrecking yard. Someone created itfor a purpose. Its purpose is to telltime. However, the universe is regu-lated with order and precision moreperfect than the watch. The planetsall move upon their orbits in orderlyfashion. The earth rotates upon itsaxis every twenty-four hours, whileat the same time it is movingaround the sun at the amazing rateof 72,600 miles per hour.

Everything in the universe is onperfect time. The exact precision ofthe working of the universe allowsscientists to look into the future andpredict exactly when we mayexpect an eclipse of the sun or themoon. This points to order, whileorder points to purpose. Why is theworld in existence? Only the Godwho made it can tell us. Psa. 24:1-2"The earth is the Lord's and the full-ness thereof; the world and theythat dwell therein. For He hathfounded it upon the seas, andestablished it upon the floods."

Genesis 1:1 while stating "In thebeginning God created the heavensand the earth," very plainly tells us

we are not here by chance. We arehere by choice. The earth nor manare here by accident, nor are theyan incident. The Christian faithbelieves we are here by God'sdesign. God made us for the pur-pose of having fellowship with Him,glorifying Him, and living eternallywith Him.

All things were created for Hispleasure. Revelation 4:11 "Thou artworthy, O Lord, to receive glory andhonour and power; for thou hastcreated all things, and for thy pleas-ure they are and were created".God did not need our opinion orpermission. Where were we whenhe laid the foundation of the uni-verse? God created all thingsbecause of His desire.

All things were created for Hispraise. Romans 11:36 "For of him,and through him, and to him, are allthings: to whom be glory forever.Amen. What does this mean? Itmeans the same as Psalm 150:6when it said "Let everything thathas breath praise." Everything cre-ated is to bring glory to God. Theonly thing God created that he hastrouble receiving praise from isman. The trees lift their leafy armsand praise God. The beautiful flow-

ers lift their pedals and they say"praise God". The bird on pinionedwings says "praise God". The mightyoceans heave with their billows andsay "praise God". Niagara rolls androlls and says "praise God". You andI were made to praise God. What doyou have to give God that he does-n't have more than you, exceptpraise? We were made for Him.There is a God shaped vacuum in allof us and we will not rest until werest in Him.

All things were created for hispeople. When God created theearth, he was creating a home forman to live in. He made all of this forus and gave it to us as stewards inhis kingdom. He told us to havedominion and enjoy it. God made itall for His glory and our good. Hemade it for his praise and for hispeople. Psalm 37:4 "Delight thyselfalso in the Lord; and He shall givethee the desires of thine heart".Psalm 84:11 "For the lord God is asun and shield; the Lord will givegrace and glory; no good thing willhe withhold from them that walkuprightly".

"The Affordable Choice

Credit for the evolvingawareness of the trueplace of Blacks in historycan, in large part, bebestowed on one man,Dr. Carter G. Woodson.His brainchild, theAssociation for the Studyof African American Lifeand History, Inc. is con-tinuing Woodson's tradi-tion of disseminatinginformation about Blacklife, history and cultureto the global community.

Known as the "Fatherof Black History,"Woodson (1875-1950)was the son of formerslaves, and understood

how important gaining aproper education is whenstriving to secure andmake the most out ofone's divine right of free-dom. Although he did notbegin his formal educa-tion until he was 20 yearsold, his dedication tostudy enabled him toearn a high school diplo-ma in West Virginia andbachelor and master'sdegrees from theUniversity of Chicago injust a few years.

In 1912, Woodsonbecame the secondAfrican American to earna PhD at Harvard

University.

Freedman's CemeteryMemorial

Freedman's Cemetery,as the name suggests,belonged to a communityof former slaves estab-lished in this area afterthe Civil War. Dedicatedin 1869, the cemeteryclosed in the 1920s andsuffered from both neg-lect and vandalism. In the1930s-40s, the construc-tion of an expressway anda major intersection elimi-nated most of the remain-ing above-groundreminders of theCemetery. In the late1980s, efforts to expandthe city's CentralExpressway led membersof the local community,including descendants ofthose buried in the ceme-tery, to wage a successfulcampaign to halt freewayconstructions long

enough for an archeologi-cal survey and excava-tions of the cemetery andthe relocations of interredwithin it.

Between 1991to 1994,an archeological investi-gation uncovered morethan 1,000 graves, whichwere carefully relocated,and the local communityconstructed a memorial.Sculptures by DavidNewton tell the story ofAfrican Americans andtheir descendant's jour-ney from slavery to eman-cipation. Poems aroundthe perimeter also com-memorate those originallyburied there.

DO YOU WANT TOLEARN ABOUT BLACKHISTORY IN DALLAS?

By Mr. Marc MorialNNPA ColumnistNo nation can long continue to flourish or to

find its way to a better society while it allows anyone of its citizens…to be denied the right to par-ticipate in the most fundamental of all privileges ofdemocracy – the right to vote.” Dr. Martin LutherKing, Jr.

An Excerpt From Dr. King’sVoting Rights Legacy Under

Attack

On Monday, January16th, America celebrat-ed what would havebeen the 83rd birthdayof Dr. Martin LutherKing, Jr. The day will bemarked from coast-to-coast with parades,speeches, and pilgrim-ages to the new KingMemorial on the

National Mall. But inthe midst of this out-pouring of praise, thereis a sinister movementafoot to undo one of Dr.King’s hardest foughtvictories – the removalof discriminatory barri-ers to voting and thepassage of the VotingRights Act signed intolaw by PresidentLyndon Johnson in1965.

In Dr. King’s day, billyclubs, cattle prods andguns kept AfricanAmericans away fromthe polls. Today, newvoter restriction lawson the books or in theworks in at least 34states could deny theright to vote to morethan 5 millionAmericans this year.

Eat Apples! An apple a day keeps cravings at bay. High-fiber foods like apples

generally require more chewing time, giving your body extra timeto register the fact that you're no longer hungry. Therefore,you're less likely to overeat.One study in Brazil found that womenwho ate the equivalent of three small apples a day as part of ahealthy diet lost significantly more weight than those who didn'teat apples. And apples are also a natural anti-inflammatory.

(AP)--Fans and onlook-ers gathered in severalplaces along the route themotorcade took from theNewark funeral home tothe cemetery about 20miles (30 kilometers)away in Westfield, whereHouston was buried nextto her father, who died in2003.

The 48-year-old singerdied Feb. 11, 2012, inCalifornia, hours beforeshe was to attend a pre-Grammy Awards party.No cause of death hasbeen determined.

On Saturday, she wasmourned at an invitation-only funeral at the churchin Newark where she sangin the choir as a child. Shewas remembered by thebiggest names in themusic: Stevie Wonderand Alicia Keys sang, andindustry mogul CliveDavis was among thosewho spoke, as was KevinCostner, Houston's co-star in "The Bodyguard."

The funeral was closedto fans, who were notallowed within blocks of

the church. Still, manycame to Newark to takepart in what ways theycould, some from as far asMiami and Washington,D.C.

Her death marked theend of a life of stunningachievement. Blessedwith a voice of greatpower and beauty,Houston became one ofpop music's most suc-cessful artists over acareer that spanned near-ly three decades andsegued into film with hitslike "The Bodyguard."

Over her career,Houston sold more than50 million records in theUnited States alone. Hervoice, an ideal blend ofpower, grace and beauty,made classics out ofsongs like "Saving All MyLove For You," ''I WillAlways Love You," ''TheGreatest Love of All" and"I'm Every Woman." Hersix Grammys were only afraction of her manyawards.

Houston had her firstNo. 1 hit by the time shewas 22, followed by a flur-ry of No. 1 songs andmulti-platinum records.Her last album, "I Look ToYou," debuted on the topof the charts when it wasreleased in 2009 withstrong sales, but didn'thave the staying power ofher previous records. Atour the next year wasdoomed by cancellationsbecause of illness andsub-par performances.
