The Legendary BB King
“The King of Blues” Will Be Missed
State Representative Yvonne
Davis Welcomed the Duncanville
High School Government Classes
To Texas State Capitol
AP- King of Blues guitarist/songwriter BB King passed away peacefully in his sleep at 9:40 pm PT
on May 14 2015 at his home in Las Vegas.
There will be a public viewing on Friday May 22, 2015 from 3pm - 7pm. at the Palm Mortuary
West, 1600 South Jones Blvd., Las Vegas, NV
Fans of B.B. King remembered the legendary blues guitarist outside his namesake club and grill
in Times Square Friday.
King was born Riley B. King in 1925 and got his first guitar at age 12. In his teens, he started
developing his trademark guitar style. King picked up the nickname Beale Street Blues Boy in
Memphis.
That was later shortened to Blues Boy, and then just B.B. King. He started making a name for
himself in the 1950s with hits like "Three O'clock Blues" and "You Upset Me Baby."
In 1969, he recorded "The Thrill is Gone," which won him the first of 15 Grammys.
King played a Gibson guitar he named Lucille and kept up a busy touring schedule into his 80s.
King was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987, and was honored with the
Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2006. The club in Times Square is one of several across the country to bear the musician's name.
B.B. King was 89 years old. Among those praising the blues legend upon his passing is President
Barack Obama.

"working, all the while, with our
police department to reduce
crime across the city. We will all
miss their service on the Dallas

Remembering the fallen
on Memorial Day
BY CONGRESSWOMAN
EDDIE BERNICE JOHNSON
On May 25th, the people
of our nation will pause to
commemorate fallen members of the military, as we
celebrate Memorial Day, a
time of reflection and
resolve. Today, we memorialize fallen patriots who
gave their lives so that we
might live ours. Because of
their valor, America remains
a beacon of freedom, justice
and peace.
Some people will spend
time praying, while others
will visit cemeteries to place
flowers and flags on the
graves of family members
and friends. They will even
visit the graves of those they
did not know.
Since the time of the
Revolutionary War, more
than one million courageous individuals have paid
the ultimate price to protect
our nation and the principles upon which our democracy was founded. Many of
them went into battle well
aware of the possibility that
they would never return to
their loved ones.
These brave men and
women were of every color,
from various parts of the
country and held many religious beliefs. Despite these
differences, all of them
believed in the sacredness
of freedom, not only for
Americans but for all men
and women threatened by
the loss of liberty.
Today, we honor the
memory of America's fallen
heroes and express our
deepest gratitude to the
family members who shared
their greatest treasures to
ensure the safety of our
nation.
As we honor the memory
of our fallen soldiers, we
remain keenly aware of
those servicemen and
women who remain in areas
of war and conflict. We pray
daily for their safety, and
remain eternally grateful for
their commitment and dedication.
While we can never repay
our debt for their sacrifices,
we remain committed to
upholding our nation's
sacred trust by providing
the resources and support
members of our armed
services need during their
times of service, and when
they return to civilian life.
I will always fight to
ensure that they have the
benefits that they have
earned and deserve. Their
sacrifices have contributed
to the greatness of our
nation, and they will always
be remembered for their
valor and their deeds.

Will a Faithful "John" Please
Come Forward? St. John 1:6-9
REV. JOHNNY C. SMITH,
PASTOR – MOUNT MORIAH
MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH
Beginning with St. John
1:6, we come to a rather
sudden change from the
"Word" (Christ) to John the
Baptist, a great forerunner
of Christ. Webster defines a
forerunner as a messenger
sent before or going before;
herald. John came as a witness of "the light." Every
man or woman can know
about the infinite saving
grace of God if only the
believers would faithfully
proclaim. John came on the
scene in a world filled with
darkness (1:5); yet he
remained undaunted in his
proclamation of the person
of Christ. John's primary
mission was to bear witness
of "the light". His ministry
was so vital because men
needed to be told that
"light" has invaded their
midst. Why do we need the
faithful John's of our day? It
is simply because men are in
abject darkness; simply put,
they are born in spiritual
darkness, and many are
repelling the message of the
saving grace of God. The
word informs us of the spiritual state at birth of all men,
for Ephesians 2:1, says:
"And you hath He quickened, who were dead in
trespasses and sin."
Focusing further on verse
6, John's coming indicated
the pathetic and pitiful spiritual climate of the hearts of
men; hearts filled with darkness. John had to faithfully
tell them that "light" has
come in to the world. John
had to be sent because as
verse 5 states: "And the
light shineth in darkness;
and the darkness comprehended it not." John indeed
acted as a herald to prepare
others for the coming of the
"light". He came as a witness (7); and a witness only
testifies to that which he
knows to be facts. He did
not come to draw attention
to himself, but rather, to
"the light". In verse 8, the
Apostle John makes known
that John was not "the
light," but rather, witnessed
of "the light".
John was only God's special representative sent to
tell forth the person of God.
As I close this article, verse 9
is a very interesting verse,
one that evokes me to say "that every man born into
this world has some measure of light; that is, reason
and conscience. As such,
every man is held accountable for the light that he
has. John came to bear witness of "the light" so that
men might be exposed to
"the light". As the Johns of
our day are presenting the
truth, it is my prayer that
the Holy Spirit would really
convict unsaved people's
hearts and brings them to a
knowledge of Him that
saves. It is earnestly my
prayer that unsaved people
be "delivered from the
power of darkness, and
translated into the kingdom
of Christ." (Colossians 1:13).
Will the faithful Johns of our
day, please come forth!
To Be Equal: A Message
for the Class of 2015
BY MARC H. MORIAL
NNPA COLUMNIST
"Life for me ain't been no crystal
stair. / It's had tacks in it, /And
splinters, / And boards torn up, /
And places with no carpet on the
floor-Bare. / But all the time / I'se
been a-climbin' on, / And reachin'
landin's, / And turnin' corners, /
And sometimes goin' in the dark /
Where there ain't been no light. /
So, boy, don't you turn back." Langston Hughes, "Mother to
Son," 1922
If you are disposed to using
the Internet as your guide, a
diploma will generally be
described as the proof of
your successful completion
of a course of study, or the
bestowal of an academic
degree. Speaking from personal experience, I can tell
you that diploma in your
grasp, occupying a prominent space on a wall or waiting to be pressed into your
eager hand is so much more
than the sum of your yearslong efforts to be where you
are today. Your degree is a
key that opens a new door, a
new phase of life and a new
set of challenges.
Your life's journey - and its
achievements - does not end
here. Celebrate, because
you've earned it; bask in your
well-earned
feeling
of
accomplishment
today,
because tomorrow you will
find that there is much work
to be done.
On the other side of that
new door is a staircase, and
that staircase may not be the
kind fashioned from crystal
with smooth, reliable, clearcut steps. Obstacles may
slow or impede your climb.
There may be tacks, broken
floorboards and torn up carpet that would trip, or at
worst, defeat someone without the training you have
been so fortunate to attain.
There is no shortcut here, no
elevator, or bypassing of
these difficult steps and
turns. There is, however, the
choice to apply the perseverance and commitment to
excellence you have already
shown in your higher education journey.
On the one hand, there is
much to celebrate in our
country when it comes to
academic achievement in
African-American communities. Today, we enjoy the
highest high school graduation rates in history. More
students of color are in college and dropout rates are at
historic lows.
But the wealth and unemployment gap between
Blacks and Whites remains
wide. While the Black unemployment rate has finally
dipped into the single digits,
it stubbornly remains more
than twice as high as the jobless rate for Whites. As our
country's economy continues
to make steady gains after
the debilitating 2008 recession, millions in Black and
Brown communities are
being left behind. In this
country-founded largely on
the principle of economic
progress through hard workthe American dream of
upward mobility remains
only a dream for too many of
its citizens.
Your education, drive and
diploma, may likely shield
you from the harsh economic realities experienced
throughout communities of
color across our nation, but it
does not strip you of an obligation to be an actor, rather
than a spectator, in our country's struggle to create one
nation with liberty, justice
and economic opportunity
for all.
No one gets to where they
are on his or her own. You
have parents, grandparents,
friends and family members
who invested in your future
success, put you on this path
and made sure you stayed
the course. How will you
repay their commitment to
you? Whether your ancestors came here by plane, by
train, by ship or shackled
underneath the hull of a
ship; whether the continent
they called home was Asia,
Europe or Africa, what they
did when they reached the
shores of our nation, what
they sacrificed-all of it is debt
incurred. How will you
choose to compensate them
for their struggles?
Among you are the teachers who will lift the standard
of education in poor communities and begin to close the
achievement gap; among
you are the preachers who
will heal the wounds of communities torn apart by violence; among you are the
elected officials who will
institute laws and policies
that promote social and economic fairness for all of
America's citizens. Herein
lies the answer. The answer
our nation has been searching for is you and your talent,
put to a higher purpose.
I cannot promise you that
your climb to success in this
life will be a crystal stair. You
may very well encounter
dark corners and obstacles.
What I can promise you is
that you have been prepared
to meet these challenges
head on. And more than
meet these challenges, you
have also been prepared to
be an actor in solving so
many of the longstanding
issues and inequities facing
our nation, so "don't you
turn back."

mayor of New Orleans, is president and CEO of the National
Urban League.
First Lady Pays Tribute to Tuskegee Airmen
By Harry C. Alford
NNPA Columnist
Last week, I received an
email from my friend, NNPA
News Service Editor-in-Chief
George E. Curry. It was a
White House press release
and a copy of First Lady
Michelle Obama's May 9
commencement address at
Tuskegee University. My first
thought was: Why is George
sending me this?
For some reason, I stopped
everything to read it. I almost
fell out of my chair when the
First Lady started talking
about our famous Tuskegee
Airmen. George knew that as
a veteran and son-in-law of
one of the first four Tuskegee
Airmen, Charles DeBow, it fills
me with great pride every
time I hear something about
these heroes.
The first lady said:
"And I'd like to begin today
by reflecting on that history starting back at the time
when the Army chose
Tuskegee as the site of its airfield and flight school for
black pilots.
"Back then, black soldiers
faced all kinds of obstacles.
There were the so-called scientific studies that said that
black men's brains were
smaller than white men's.
Official Army reports stated
that black soldiers were
'childlike,' 'shiftless,' 'unmoral
and untruthful,' and as one
quote stated, 'if fed, loyal and
compliant.'"
"So while the Airmen
selected for this program
were actually highly educated
- many already had college
degrees and pilots licenses they were presumed to be
inferior. During training, they
were often assigned to menial
tasks like housekeeping or
landscaping. Many suffered
verbal abuse at the hands of
their instructors. When they
ventured off base, the white
sheriff here in town called
them "boy" and ticketed
them for the most minor
offenses. And when they
finally deployed overseas,
white soldiers often wouldn't
even return their salutes.
"Just think about what that
must have been like for those
young men. Here they were,
trained to operate some of
the most complicated, hightech machines of their day flying at hundreds of miles an
hour, with the tips of their
wings just six inches apart.
Yet when they hit the ground,
folks treated them like they
were nobody - as if their very
existence meant nothing.
"Now, those Airmen could
easily have let that experience clip their wings. But as
you all know, instead of being
defined by the discrimination
and the doubts of those
around them, they became
one of the most successful
pursuit squadrons in our military. They went on to show
the world that if black folks
and white folks could fight
together, and fly together,
then surely - surely - they
could eat at a lunch counter
together. Surely their kids
could go to school together.
"You see, those Airmen
always understood that they
had a 'double duty' - one to
their country and another to
all the black folks who were
counting on them to pave the
way forward. So for those
Airmen, the act of flying itself
was a symbol of liberation for
themselves and for all African
Americans.
"One of those first pilots, a
man named Charles DeBow,
put it this way. He said that a
takeoff was - in his words - 'a
never-failing miracle' where
all 'the bumps would smooth
off… [you're] in the air… out
of this world… free.'
"And when he was up in the
sky, Charles sometimes
looked down to see black
folks out in the cotton fields
not far from here - the same
fields where decades before,
their ancestors as slaves. And
he knew that he was taking to
the skies for them - to give
them and their children
something more to hope for,
something to aspire to.
"And in so many ways, that
never-failing miracle - the
constant work to rise above
the bumps in our path to
greater freedom for our
brothers and sisters - that has
always been the story of
African Americans here at
Tuskegee….
"Those Airmen who rose
above brutal discrimination they did it so the whole world
could see just how high black
folks could soar. That's the
spirit we've got to summon to
take on the challenges we
face today."
She talked about the greatness of Tuskegee and then
returned to DeBow:
"That pilot I mentioned earlier - Charles DeBow - he didn't rest on his laurels after
making history. Instead, after
he left the Army, he finished
his education. He became a
high school English teacher
and a college lecturer. He kept
lifting other folks up through
education. He kept fulfilling
his 'double duty' long after he
hung up his uniform….
"And if you rise above the
noise and the pressures that
surround you, if you stay true
to who you are and where
you come from, if you have
faith in God's plan for you,
then you will keep fulfilling
your duty to people all across
this country. And as the years
pass, you'll feel the same
freedom that Charles DeBow
did when he was taking off in
that airplane. You will feel the
bumps smooth off. You'll take
part in that 'never-failing miracle' of progress. And you'll
be flying through the air, out
of this world - free."
The first lady of our great
nation was paying tribute to
the person I love and whose
blood flows through my wife
and sons. For this, I am so
appreciative and forever
grateful. Charles DeBow is
smiling down on us.

My Day: Passionpreneurship
By Dr. J. Ester Davis
Stefani McDade Morrow
sat across from me with all
the bold, beautiful and confident of a royal family member. That's because she is
one.
Accessing
the
"McDade Clan" in Texas, she
rounded it up as "we are our
own race". This original faith
family
clan
of
thirteen(13)brothers and sisters hail from Ennis, Texas,
and she was raised with
some two hundred(200)
cousins. Lots of memories.
She openly gives credit to the
mentors and role models in
the family, because they set
the tone, which is the source
of her book; "21 Lessons in
Passionpreneurship", and her
drive to move from success to
significance.
"Gathering of the Giraffes"
(www.facebook.com/GoGDal
las) was the most fascinating
subject to me. You see,
Stefani , is a self-proclaimed
"Passion-preneur". (A new
word for Webster).
She
wants to share her areas of
passion, help you pursue
your dreams so that you can
reap a more fulfilled existence.
Stefani
is fully
equipped for this role. Along
with faith and family, there
was opportunity. Stefani
took full advantage of the
opportunities in front of her.
She finished high school, finished college twice. Spent
almost two decades in the
school system, as an assistant
principal and principal. In
2014,
she
founded
"Gathering of the Giraffes",
just love that name. This is a
network "created to support
women in business and aspiring entrepreneurs", she
explains.
The full title of the book
catches your eye, because we
all had a "Principal" in school.
"From the Principal's Desk:
21
Lessons
in
Passionpreneurship"
by
Stefani McDade Morrow,
(ww.stefanimorrow.com) is a
riveting look at self. At the
end of each of the 21 lessons,
there are guiding questions
and a self reflection note
page for your eyes only. The
book is marvelously prepared
and is an easy read.
Books inspire me because I
am a reader, so I will share
one aspect of the book that
propelled me to this review.
Stefani says on page 45, second question: "On a scale of
1 to 10 (with 10 being the
highest), rate your willingness to embrace change.
What practical, deliberate
steps can you take to raise
your rating"? Huh!
Stefani can be reached also
at 972.816.7923. Remember,
readers are leaders, still.

Dallas ISD District 6 Trustee
Seven Dallas ISD students
have been named among
57,000 of the nation's high
school graduates as a recipient
of the prestigious Gates
Millennium Scholarship funded
by a grant from the Bill &
Melinda Gates Foundation.
The Gates Millennium
Scholars Program pays full
scholarships to any accredited
college or university of their
choice located in the U.S. The
scholarships are good through
graduation, meaning they are
renewable based on program
guidelines throughout a student's higher educational pursuits-from the undergraduate
to the master and doctoral levels.
The seven students are:
Mang Lian, Sung Mawi, and
Tika Acharya, all from Emmett
J. Conrad High School;
Dominique James, Bryans
Adams High School; Frank
Byers Jr., South Oak Cliff High
School; Victoria Lennox,
Booker T. Washington High
School for the Performing and
Visual Arts; and Kenneth
Robinson, Justin F. Kimball High
School.
Kimball Class Valedictorian
Kenneth Robinson had to push
through the tragic loss of his
mother during his freshman
year, and while it wasn't easy,
his commitment to leadership
and excellence helped fuel his
drive to succeed. He served as
the highest ranking officer in
Justin F. Kimball High School's
ROTC program, president of
the school's National Honor
Society, student council, the
National
Academy
of
Engineering Advisory Board,
and others. He plans to pursue
his doctorate in physics to help
develop new power sources.
Congratulations to Kenneth

BILINGUAL
'CLICK IT OR TICKET' CAMPAIGN WARNS TEXANS OF DEADLY CONSEQUENCES
OF NOT BUCKLING UP LA CAMPAÑA "ABROCHE O PAGUE" LES ADVIERTE A LOS
TEXANOS SOBRE LAS CONSECUENCIAS FATALES DE NO ABROCHARSE EL
CINTURÓN DE SEGURIDAD May 18 - May 31
The simple, law-abiding habit of
wearing a seat belt can protect thousands of Texans from serious injury or
death. Yet, many people still refuse.
For them, the Texas Department of
Transportation is launching its 14th
annual statewide "Click It or Ticket"
campaign to augment the federal,
stepped-up enforcement period,
May 18-31.
If the deadly consequences aren't
enough to motivate seat belt use,
fines and court costs can total up to
$200. In Texas, the law requires
everyone in a vehicle to be buckled
up, including back seat passengers.
In 2014, 2,587 motor vehicle traffic
crashes occurred in Texas in which
unrestrained vehicle occupants sustained fatal or serious injuries.
Wearing a seat belt helps keep occupants from being ejected in a crash
and increases the chances of surviving by 45 percent. In pickup trucks,
that number jumps to 60 percent, as
those vehicles are twice as likely as
cars to roll over in a crash.
The "Click It or Ticket" campaign,
combined with enforcement, is cred-
ited with motivating millions of
motorists to always use their seat
belts. Only 76 percent of Texans used
seat belts when the campaign started
in 2002. Today, 9 out of 10 Texans
buckle up. The National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration estimates that since its inception, the
"Click It or Ticket" campaign in Texas
has resulted in 4,319 fewer traffic
fatalities while preventing 72,926
serious injuries and saving more than
$16.7 billion in related economic
costs.

El hábito sencillo de obedecer la
ley y abrocharse el cinturón de
seguridad puede proteger a miles de
conductores texanos de lesiones
graves o incluso la muerte. Y sin
embargo, muchas personas aun se
rehúsan a hacerlo. Para ellos, , el
Departamento de Transporte del
Estado de Texas está lanzando su
14ta campaña anual "Abroche o
Pague" en todo el estado para
aumentar el período federal reforza-
do de cumplimiento de las leyes del
18 al 31 de mayo.
Si las consecuencias fatales no son
suficientes para motivar el uso del
cinturón de seguridad, las multas y
los costos de tribunal pueden sumar
hasta $200. Las leyes de Texas exigen
que todos los que viajen en un
vehículo se abrochen el cinturón de
seguridad, incluyendo los pasajeros
del asiento trasero.
En el año 2014, ocurrieron 2,587
choques de automóviles en Texas en
los que los ocupantes que no llevaban el cinturón de seguridad
abrochado resultaron gravemente
heridos o murieron. Abrocharse el
cinturón de seguridad evita que los
ocupantes salgan disparados en un
choque y aumenta en un 45 por ciento las probabilidades de sobrevivir. En
las camionetas pickup, esas cifras
saltan hasta 60 por ciento porque
esos vehículos tienen el doble de
probabilidades de voltearse en un
choque que los automóviles.
