The goal of IBNN is to provide a different view of the local, national and global news and events that happen in the Black communities around the world. IBNN's expectations are to provide a level of coverage and investigative reporting not seen on local mainstream media, while covering Politics, Education, Money, Business, and Community events. IBNN is an affiliate of Black Politics in Minneapolis, Radical Black USA and other African American news sources. Comments, concerns and questions can be emailed to ibnnnews@gmail.com

Saint Paul, MN. (IBNN NEWS/January 17, 2011)…Today at Concordia’s College’s Gangelhoff Center the Council on Black Minnesotans held their annual tribute to the late Rev. Martin Luther King. More signs that the COBM’s is in trouble: the last minute announcement that Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann would be one of the guest speakers…(Yes, you heard right).

Also, COBM’s secretary and African American Family Services Lissa Jones went, as far to threaten IBNN’s editor in chief by saying, “You should be careful having a baby on the way.”  My response to her is, “How many times can you wear that same white outfit? Two-words: Dry Cleaners”

Below, are the videos and photos from today’s event that tell Black Minnesotans, “Something’s got to give!”

"The silent protest begins"

"Men of honor side-by-side."
