  • Calif. Anti-Sex Trafficking Advocates Discuss Competing Bills, Strategies

    OAKLAND POST — “It is time to send a thorough message that if you seek to buy a child for sex, you will pay the highest criminal penalties in this state,” said the Rev. Shane Harris, a San Diego-based activist, former foster youth and founder of the Peoples Association of Justice Advocates, (PAJA), a national civil rights organization and policy think tank. Harris, who was speaking at a rally at the State Capitol earlier this month, was speaking in support of Senate Bill 1414, authored by Sen. Shannon Grove (D-Bakersfield), which calls for people who buy sex from minors to be punished with a felony. The punishment includes a two-year prison sentence and a $25,000 fine. The post Calif.

  • The TINA TURNER Musical Reveals Trials and Triumphs

    THE OKLAHOMA EAGLE — The 1993 movie “What’s Love Got to Do with It” portrayed the relationship between Ike and Tina Turner as abusive before their breakup. Ike was also said to victimize Tina, as she shared in a 2018 interview with Oprah Winfrey. But Deon Releford-Lee, the actor who plays Ike in the Broadway musical, says there is more to Ike’s story than is told on screen. In preparing for the part, the Broadway actor searched for the triggers that made Ike who he was known to be.   The post The TINA TURNER Musical Reveals Trials and Triumphs first appeared on BlackPressUSA.

  • OP-ED: To Fear a Protest: Columbia University’s Forceful Response to Peaceful and Legitimate Protest

    NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS — True leaders come to the table prepared for discourse; cowards find something to hide behind. In an egregious display of weakness, the university affirmed that it feared the political views of its students. By arresting more than 100 peacefully assembled young adults, Columbia demonstrated just how vulnerable it is to the leaders they’ve created. What [Columbia University president Namet] Shafik fails to understand is that silencing protest through force only validates the need for protest and inspires more civil unrest.  The post OP-ED: To Fear a Protest: Columbia University’s Forceful Response to Peaceful and Legitimate Protest first appeared on BlackPressUSA.

  • The Great Crime Disconnect: Part 2

    Crime rates in the U.S. have been dropping since the 1990s. Criminologists and other experts sometimes call this the "great crime decline". Surveys show that most Americans believe that crime is increasing. I call this the "great crime disconnect" because for nearly two decades, public perceptions have been out of step with the evidence.
