Sources close to the Dispatch tell us that Zion Traveler Baptist Church Pastor Willie resigned after preaching his final sermon either this past or last Sunday. It was very unclear as to why Pastor Mabry resigned. Whenever the community was in turmoil, with shootings, community protests, marches etc., Pastor Mabry was always there, offering prayer or support many times representing clergy.

Hurting the one you love seems impossible, yet in the heat of the moment something overwhelms the mind, instead of calmer heads. Once the devil is involved, love has not a chance until later after each party chills, which most times is too late.

Don't be afraid to go with a...
The Monroe Man March will not be an actual “march”. We will not be literally marching from one place to another as it was typically done in the 1960’s. This is not a protest or a demonstration. We are not angry or demanding anything from anyone other than ourselves. We will simply gather at Charles Johnson Park located at 3313 Bernstein Park Drive in Monroe this Saturday, October 14th, to make a statement that we are taking responsibility for the safety of our community. All of us (The Churc...
God loves the truth and the light. The American National Anthem, flag and claims of freedom and justice do not have the same symbolism for all Americans. Certainly not for black Americans and other minorities, the poor and downtrodden. White Americans appear to be America’s preference for privilege.

Therefore, the emphasis, loyalty, devotion, worship and praise directed toward the Anthem and flag take on quite a different perspective according to what category one falls in...
