I was raised in the house of Civil Rights Icons, only I didn't know it. To me, they were just momma and daddy. As I began reading my dad's old laminated scrapbook, I gained valuable knowledge and insight on just what my dad, Dr. John I.

I'd like to share my findings through a series of articles highlighting the events surrounding voter suppression in Ouachita Parish and...

The nation has gone bonkers. It is about to go off of its rocker. Not only that, but the guys who started all of this by writing the Constitutional must be turning in their graves, as this nation may be set to show that lawsuits and so-called rights go hand-in-hand.

We all thought that the issue of who won the presidency was settled, as the court had spoken, and Biden was implementing his policies to...
