THIS is the side of law enforcement that we do not hear enough about! The voice of Bishop Antonio Richardson on patrol doing the good work should bring joy to our hearts and maybe even a tear to our eyes. We are sure the heavens rejoiced on this particular evening. Hats off to the JSO for highlighting this life saving moment. Both officers did an outstanding job in a tough situation.

100 YEARS...Happy BLACK HISTORY MONTH

The origins of the month

Black History Month wasn’t always a monthlong celebration. In February 1926, historian and author Carter G. Woodson created Negro History Week. It was a weeklong celebration in an effort to teach people about African-American history and the contributions of Black people.

This effort was made under the umbrella of an organization he founded in September 1915 called the Association for the Study of African American Life and History, or ASALH.

“I think Black folks understood what they had contributed to America’s historical narrative, but no one was talking about it,” said Kaye Whitehead, the organization’s president. “No one was centralizing it until Dr. Carter G. Woodson was in 1926.”

After he passed away in 1950, the members of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity, which Dr. Woodson was a member of, did a lot of groundwork to encourage celebrating the week. The fraternity was also responsible for the push to extend the celebrations to a full month. Eventually, in 1976, President Gerald Ford became the first president to issue a message recognizing the month.
