    They execute us in the streets like dogs. This is America in all of its racist and depraved glory. American police are on pace to murder 1000 people this year...just as they were last year and the year before that. We need a movement to end this madness.

    Mrs. Unita Blackwell passed away today. The article fails to mention that she was instrumental in securing Head Start for black children in the MS Delta. I wrote about Mrs. Blackwell in my book A Chance for Change.
