My writing as a freelance journalist and writer began when my first article was published in The City Sun (New York City) in 1996. Since then, my work has been published in the New York Amsterdam News, The Final Call, The African
Sun Times, The Black Collegian, The Black Star News, The Source, The Black
Issues in Black Review, The Quarterly Black Review, The Black World Today (TBWT.com)
and The Black Collegian Online (IMDiversity.com). Here is a link to a page with published articles posted on the Internet.
My essay, "Commentary to
Chapter 1" introduced the “Origins,
Ancestors and Memory,” chapter in Sacred Fire: The QBR 100 Essential BlackBooks published in 2001. I attended the
historic 2001 World Conference Against Racism held in Durban, South Africa on
assignment and wrote reports for The New York Amsterdam News, The Black World Today and The
African Sun Times. I also received third
place honors from the New York Association of Black Journalists for an article outlining a campaign of harrassment by New York City’s Administration Children Services’ in their removal of a Black child from his family.
I have written and continue to write about the critial issues impacting the Black working people in Black communities around the country that make up Black America. I write about electoral politics, political issues along with the important activist and social movement issues of the day.
But right now, we are living during a time with so much going on around the country and around the world. We are also living during a time where clear analysis and news reporting is needed to inform our awareness and confront the confusion and chaos.
This site, The Brooks Blackboard is a news media site - a news service - with published content that focused on race, politics and social issues. We publish local and national news along with geo-political/international news from well-established news sources, with articles revealing our political and material condition. Our goal here is simple, to provide the news that you can use.
Peace and thanks in advance for your support!
