OP-ED: U.S. blockade of Cuba is an act of war and genocide (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As a member of an IBW21/PAUD delegation that traveled to Cuba this year, I remain concerned about the welfare of the people on this island nation. A few days ago we were privileged to meet with Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cuba, and while it was a meeting strictly off the record, we did have an opportunity to view an amazing exhibit of photos documenting Fidel Castro’s visit to Harlem in 1960. Rather than divulge any of the discussion with Chancellor P
OP-ED: Remembering the indomitable and innovative oncologist Dr. Harold P. Freeman (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When Dr. Harold P. Freeman applied his oncological knowledge to breast cancer, particularly for Black women, he saved a countless number of patients. Essential to his work was a patient navigator program he started at Harlem Hospital in 1990. In doing so, he became a pioneer in the understanding of health disparities. According to his son, Neal, Dr. Freeman died on August 11 in Atlanta. He was 93. In 2014, Dr. Freeman authored an opinion essay in the New York Times in which he promised to get ca
OP-ED: Remembering Dr. William G. Anderson, osteopath who became unlikely civil rights hero (opens the original)
Read excerpt

When dissension arose between leaders of the NAACP and SNCC about how to combat racism and discrimination in the city, Dr. Anderson, an osteopath and owner of a drugstore, was elected to he
Woodie King, Jr.’s theater magic continues in the West Village (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The West District address of 154 Christopher Street has a new occupant: Woodie King, Jr.’s New Federal Theatre. On the second floor of the block-long building, a large photograph of King, who died on January 29, welcomes visitors as it did during the ribbon-cutting ceremony last week. “With great respect and love, I welcome you with all my heart … to the home of the New Federal Theatre,” said King’s widow, the actress Elizabeth Van Dyke in her greeting to a host of loyal supporters and elected o
OP-ED: Detroit, Labor Day weekend, and a touch of jazz — a winning trio! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Labor Day Weekend and Detroit are inseparably linked, given that city’s working-class history. The holiday is often celebrated in Motown by the Detroit Jazz Festival, and this 47th anniversary featured such notable musicians as Ravi Coltrane, Ron Carter, Cindy Blackman Santana, Kurt Elling, Catherine Russell, Bob James, Dee Dee Bridgewater, and Joe Lovano, who was the event’s artist in residence.You’d better believe Lovano worked overtime, performing at several events; most significantly with hi
