September 30, 2009 Raynard Jackson The only images most Americans see on U.S. media about Africa is that of famine, war, or other tragedies.

Raynard Jackson The AfrICAN and the AmerICAN

August 27, 2009 Raynard Jackson Earlier this month I wrote a column entitled, “The African and the Brother Man (you can read a copy of the piece on my website: www.raynardjackson.com).” I had no idea my piece would spark such a vibrant conversation among Blacks, Africans, Caribbeans, and others.

Raynard Jackson The African and the Brother Man

I'm sure you have heard it many times over and over. You would be in their same tax bracket if you had a dime for every time a Black person said "why won't Oprah, Bill Cosby, Denzel, Bob Johnson, Jay-Z, or any of the other rich celebrities and athletes work together to build or buy-out a company which would in turn create opportunities for the common members of the Black Community"?
