In recent weeks, the cities of Hartford, Conn., and Helena-West Helena, Ark., have gotten attention because of curfews the small cities instituted because of spikes in gun violence.

WASHINGTON (IPS/GIN) - Pervez Musharraf’s resignation brought to an end an era of extraordinarily close relations between the Pakistani president and the George W.

When Abe Lincoln, J.F. Kennedy Spoke Out for Negroes
From the death of Abraham Lincoln to the assassination of President Kennedy, it proves that on each one of these occasions where outlaws overruled legal authority, it was in the case of Presidents who opened their mouths and said something favorable for the so-called Negro.
How To Protect a Democracy
by Minister Louis Farrakhan
Democracy presupposes that you are so enlightened, so intelligent, that you do not choose a candidate because he or she has a slick ad on television. The question for the candidate becomes, what do you propose that fits what I believe is good for my neighborhood, my ward, my city, my state, my nation?
Allah’s servant and certainty of protection from a death plot
by Jabril Muhammad
It seemed clear to me, from what I felt of the spirit of his [the Honorable Elijah Muhammad's] word, that this would be the greatest effort on the part of his (our) enemies to kill him. And, it was clear to me, that he expected this plot and attempt to be in the future; beyond the time of his November 1966 letter.
The Return of Quetzalcoatl, Genghis Khan, Muhammad and Farrakhan
Mother Tynetta Muhammad
Before going into some of the finer details of this phenomenal journey to Mexico, I wish to focus our immediate attention back to where we left off in our previous article showing the cross-cultural links between Native American societies and the people inhabiting the Steppes of Mongolia.
Lincoln’s hometown marks 100th anniversary of race riot
SPRINGFIELD, Illinois - Two days of terror. Black men tortured and hanged. A baby dead of exposure. Four White rioters shot by Black defenders.  It wasn’t America’s first riot, and certainly not the last. But this one was in the hometown of Abraham Lincoln, the president who helped end slavery.
Language, Thinking and Culture
A Perceptual Transition for Black People
In his book “Black Skin, White Masks” the noted Black psychiatrist, revolutionary and author Frantz Fanon states a man who has a language consequently possesses the world expressed and implied by that language.
The Real Deal on Recession
Is our economy in a recession or not? And does it matter if the material conditions of many Americans have worsened, especially this year?  The squabbling among economists—which is partly a result of the fact that different people use different definitions to define recessions—offers little comfort to the consumer trying to make ends meet.

Will Democrats unite behind Barack Obama?
DENVER (FinalCall.com) - The question early on was whether White America was ready to support a Black presidential candidate and the answer seemed to be “yes” given Sen. Barack Obama’s big win in Iowa, his Super Tuesday success and now, his position as the leader of the Democratic Party.
The Death of Black Politics? Hardly!
When I read Matt Bai’s piece in the New York Times with the title above, I thought that he was fooling, but it turned out to be a serious article that put forth much of the thinking that has passed for this “post-Black Power” even “post Civil Rights” generation.
White supremacists expect boost if Obama elected
PEARL, Miss.  - They’re not exactly rooting for him, but prominent White supremacists anticipate a boost to their cause if Barack Obama becomes the first Black president.  Former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, of Louisiana, said Democrat Obama would be a “visual aid” to the idea that Whites have lost control of America.
Conflict in the Caucasus; tensions mount
U.S. interference leads to increased tension in Georgia
No one should be surprised that U.S. interference in the Caucasus has led to the Russian invasion of South Ossetia. By mixing into the volatile politics of the Caucasus, and trying to recruit the governments there to become American “plumbers” for a variety of purposes, the United States has only drawn Russian fire.

JERUSALEM (IPS) - With the eruption of fighting between Russia and Georgia, Israel has found itself in an awkward position as a result of its arms sales to Georgia, caught between its friendly relations with Georgia and its fear that the continued sale of weaponry will spark Russian retribution in the form of increased arms sales to Iran and Syria.

LOS ANGELES - As world class athletes competed in the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China, displays of strength, agility and fruit of hard work and sacrifice were apparent, but some American athletes showed their activism with protests against China’s treatment of Tibetans, the Sudanese military conflict in Darfur and calls for an end to cruel practices against animals.
