Two Years After Tornado “Nancy” 2011: Not better then before, but worse
In the video below (by IBNN), many black women who approached the tornado recovery organization were sent packing. In 2013, we can still see the effects of the 2011 tornado.

Youth Coordinating Board (YCB) meets: Where was the Northside Achievement Zone?
NAZ: "Doing very little or nothing is not something that you keep locked away and hidden from the general public. Or maybe you do..." This is the story: Something observed has to be measured to be analyzed; One cause can have more than one effect; One effect can be caused by more than one cause; Causes almost certainly have to be [...]

If it does not happen by white men, there are black men and women who will step in. by Donald Allen, Editor-in-Chief – OurBlackNews.com and The Independent Business News Network Minneapolis, MN - The Minnesota House of Representatives have enacted a bill attempting to establish a [...]
Cam Winton, Gary Schiff and Mark Andrews to participate in ON POINT radio program this Saturday at 3 p.m.
From L-R: Cam Winton, Mark Andrews and Gary Schiff. (photos: Campaign websites.) It is clear to us (Ronald A. Edwards and Don Allen) the Minneapolis Mayor’s race needs a new set of eyes.

Designer Poverty: Come to the Twin Cities – we do it right!
This is not Edina. We can see it, and it is here. (photo: Falconhive.com) If it were not for escaping the matrix, I would not be able to share this with you. Poverty in all forms is a curse on society. In Minneapolis and St. Paul, the opportunity reoccurs to put a drastic end to mass poverty; but this would mean stopping a flow of dollars, sex [...]
Minnesota’s Black History Month upstaged by President Obama’s Gun Control?
Invited guest, Rev. Jerry McAfee thought it was a waste of time. (above) His Facebook status after the event. The ghosts of Huey, Martin, Malcolm and Ida don’t approve of today's political mess in Minneapolis. Black History Month has already be sanitized, homogenized and unrecognized in Minnesota. So why does the president do this to his [...]

Part 1: Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) must partner with Hennepin County to bring economic development and a Service Center to North Minneapolis

Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak makes room for “Schiff” in the shift
The reasons elude me why the mainstream media is so attached to someone that will become unimportant by the end of 2013. Minneapolis mayor R.T. Rybak has bamboozled the citizens of Minneapolis with the same taking points for years; foreclosures, north Minneapolis, potholes – but never once has he gone after the important issues of jobs, economic [...]
