By Brenda Lyle-Gray Jan 7, 2022 Updated Jan 7, 2022 Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor. It must be demanded by the oppressed. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
I was nine years old when Martin Luther King Jr. was first arrested. It was 1956 and King was 27. He would continue to see the inside of a jail cell in solitary or with Coretta Scott King and his followers until that never forgotten April 1968 late afternoon. Before going to the ‘mountaintop’, our inspiring leader had been stabbed, his home bombed, his family constantly threatened, and his life in peril every day.
I was 11 years old when I first heard Dr. King’s powerful message while sitting between my parents in a predominantly white audience at the Music Hall in downtown Kansas City. All that many years ago and I can still remember King’s laughter when he talked about loving soul food like greens and ham hocks, red beans and rice, and fried chicken. He loved to have a good time, the times when he didn’t have to think about humanity’s burden that had fallen on his shoulders and being concerned of what the next day would bring.
Ten years later, as if it were yesterday, I recall sitting in the back of a Greyhound bus riding down to 31st and Indiana minutes before the urban areas of cities across the country went up in flames.
Like Jesus, King was reviled, hunted down, and martyred for his message and his beliefs, and those of us who followed him felt the same hatred as we do in a divided world of Black and white in current times. READ MORE AT INSIGHTNEWS.COM

Stories by Brenda Lyle-Gray, Columnist. Governor Tim Walz signed into law a bill creating a task force to explore the root issues and causes for our collective failure to value the lives and stories of murdered and missing Black women and girls in Minnesota.
Hailed as the first state-level action of its kind in the nation, the task force will secure accurate data, elevate public awareness and seek solutions to the problems unearthed in the staggering numbers of murdered and missing African American girls and women.
Linda Sloan, Executive Director of the Council for Minnesotans of African Heritage (CNAH), described the bill signing at North Minneapolis’ Capri Theater as a watershed event. “The task force is really going to do the research, present their findings, and make recommendations. They’re going to come to consensus with more accurate numbers of missing and murdered victims.. a number nationwide that could possibly fall between 64,000 and 75,000. They will identify what the major issues are and whether they’re systemic or politically motivated. The group will be digging deep, examining the nuts and bolts of the issues, and then start to formulate solutions to the problems,” she said.

Black Press photojournalist and social media maven Anthony Tilman assessed the death of President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better legislation this way:
“[Fifty] Republicans in the Senate don’t care about children in their own communities and want them to remain in poverty, and yet they still get re-elected. That’s the sad truth.”
While Tilghman accurately assessed the GOP blocking popular and needed legislation, the most consequential “no vote” came from a Democrat.
In an appearance, Sunday, December 19, on the Republican-friendly network Fox News, West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin – who carries the “D” party tag but certainly has routinely demonstrated GOP views and values – said he would vote “no” on Build Back Better.
“I have always said, ‘If I can’t go back home and explain it, I can’t vote for it.’ Despite my best efforts, I cannot explain the sweeping Build Back Better Act in West Virginia, and I cannot vote to move forward on this mammoth piece of legislation,” Sen. Manchin said in the statement.
Build Back Better would create a universal pre-K program, help families with childcare and send them the child tax payments for another year.
It would also provide even more subsidies on the Affordable Care Act exchanges for four more years and offer more assistance for individuals and families who fall below the poverty line.
