The Dallas PVU Alumni held its 18th Annual Athletic Scholarship &

Kimberley Runnels, second generation PVite and '93 graduate took over
as Gala General Chair. The Gala was formed to supply PVAMU athletes
with scholarships to return our alma mater to athletic prominence. In
the last 3 years the majority of funds have been donate to the PVAM
Foundation for completion of our Sports Complex including a 16,000
seat stadium. In its 18 year history the Gala has garnered over $600,000
for the interest of PVAMU.

DCCCD BOARD OF TRUSTEES NOMINATES
NEW CHANCELLOR
Doris Miller, known as "Dorie," was born in Waco, Texas,
in 1919. He was one of four sons. After high school, he
worked on his father's farm until 1938 when he enlisted in
the Navy as mess attendant
(kitchen worker) to earn
money for his family. At that
time the Navy was segregated so combat positions were
not open to AfricanAmericans.

Members of the Dallas County
Community College District's board of
trustees nominated Dr. Joe May as the sole
finalist for the position of DCCCD's seventh
chancellor, following a second round of
interviews held in Dallas on Mon., Oct. 7.
The nomination must be approved by a formal vote of the trustees, following a 21-day
waiting period.
May, with the approval of his nomination, will fill the position when Dr. Wright Lassiter Jr. retires
on Dec. 31, 2013, after 27 years with the district – serving
two decades as president of El Centro College and seven
years as the district’s chancellor. May currently serves as
president of the Louisiana Community and Technical College
System. He previously served as system president for the
Colorado Community College System and president of
Pueblo Community College prior to that position.
DEMOCRAT WENDY DAVIS
RUNNING FOR
TEXAS GOVERNOR
Democratic state Sen.
Wendy Davis declared her candidacy for governor of Texas
promising to focus on the
needs of average Texans.
In an email to supporters,
Davis said she would focus on
education, economic development and health care.
Davis has said that her experience going from being a single teen mother to a successful
Harvard-trained
attorney
informs her political views and
her commitment to Texas' middle-class residents.
Davis must raise money
quickly to compete with the
front-runner for the GOP nomination, Attorney General Gregg
Abbott. He has already raised $25 million to her more than $1
million.
Experts say Davis and the political action committees supporting her will need to spend about $40 million to make it a competitive campaign in Texas, where Democrats have not won more
than 42 percent of the vote in the last three elections.
But national Democratic support and changing state demographics give Davis a chance to end the party's 20-year losing
streak in Texas, Democratic consultants say.
Davis' personal story -- from a trailer park to Texas Christian
University to the Harvard Law School -- has captured the imagination of many of her supporters.
She was a successful attorney when she decided to enter politics by challenging a veteran Republican state senator in Tarrant

‘Dallas’ Too Busy Growing To Hate

DEAR EDITOR:
Dear Editor,
Math can sometimes be
tricky, but when it comes to
figuring out the cost benefits
of rebuilding your car's
engine, the answer is very
simple. If your car or truck is
diagnosed with major engine
damage, installing a remanufactured or rebuilt engine will
extend current vehicle life at
a significantly lower cost than
buying a new car or truck,
adding up to big savings.
For the cost of an average
down payment on a new car
or truck, a vehicle's engine
can be repowered with a
r e m a n u fa c t u r e d / r e b u i l t
engine, gaining years of reliable service without monthly
car payments and higher
insurance rates. The Engine
Rebuilders Council developed
a cost comparison chart illustrating the cost difference
between purchasing a new
vehicle and repowering an
existing vehicle with a remanufactured/rebuilt engine.
To learn more about why
installing a remanufactured
or rebuilt engine is the sensible economic alternative, visit

Sincerely,
Rick Simko
Chairman

"A PSALM OF PRAISE TO THE LORD WHO SECURES JERUSALEM" PSALM 48:1-14
Rev. Johnny C. Smith,
Pastor – Mount Moriah
Missionary Baptist Church
Psalm 48 is a song about the
city of God, Jerusalem. As this
psalm begins, the psalmist is
praising God and the great city
of Jerusalem. God's presence
in Jerusalem makes the city of
God splendid and secure. Our
God of splendor and glory
deserves to be praised, as the
psalmist in Psalm 113:1-4
exclaims, "Praise ye the LORD.
Praise, O ye servants of the
LORD, praise the name of the
LORD. Blessed be the name of
the LORD from this time forth
and for evermore. From the
rising of the sun unto the going
down of the same the LORD's
name is to be praised. The
LORD is high above all nations,
and his glory above the heavens."
In verses 2-3, the psalmist
goes on to disclose that
Jerusalem was indeed beautiful, "Beautiful for situation, the
joy of the whole earth, is
mount Zion," it is the great city
of the King. The city of
Jerusalem was really special
because the Lord is her
fortress. The Lord's presence
in Jerusalem secures the city.
God's presence anywhere will
provide safety and peace.
Because of the Lord's prevailing presence, Jerusalem was
safe, even against many
assembled enemies (vv. 4-7).
The excited psalmist makes
known the fact that the Lord
secured Jerusalem for verse 8
states, "As we have heard, so
have we seen in the city of the
LORD of hosts, in the city of
our God: God will establish it
for ever."
Having disclosed that God
will protect Jerusalem from its'
enemies, the psalmist gives
praise to God for His steadfast
love and righteousness. The
psalmist makes this acknowledgement in verses 9-10 which
state, "We have thought of thy
lovingkindness, O God, in the
midst of thy temple. According
to thy name, O God, so is thy
praise unto the ends of the
earth: thy right hand is full of
righteousness."
As the
psalmist, we need to thank the
Lord for His steadfast love and
goodness toward us! We need
to praise Him for His infinite
kindness toward us, for Psalm
117:1-2 states, "O praise the
LORD, all ye nations: praise
him, all ye people. For his mer-
ciful kindness is great toward
us: and the truth of the LORD
endureth for ever. Praise ye
the LORD."
The psalmist closes this
psalm by inviting the congregation in Zion, as well as
Judah, to rejoice in the fact
that Jerusalem is secure as he
rejoices by saying, "Let mount
Zion rejoice, let the daughters
of Judah be glad, because of
thy judgments. Walk about
Zion, and go round about her:
tell the towers thereof. Mark
ye well her bulwarks, consider
her palaces; that ye may tell it
to the generation following"
(vv. 11-13). The same God
that secures Jerusalem will be
our guide forever, "For this
God is our God for ever and
ever: He will be our guide
even unto death" (v. 14).
May God Bless!
Doris “Dorie” Miller Pearl Harbor Hero
Continued from Page 1A
Miller then returned to
deck and saw that the
Japanese planes were still
dive-bombing the U.S. Naval
Fleet. He picked up a 50-caliber Browning antiaircraft
machine gun on which he had
never been trained and managed to shoot down three to
four enemy aircraft. (In the
chaos of the attack, reports
varied, and not even Miller
was sure how many he hit.)
He fired until he ran out of
ammunition; by then the men
were being ordered to abandon ship. The West Virginia
had been severely damaged
and was slowly sinking to the
harbor bottom. Of the 1541
men on board during the
attack, 130 were killed and 52
wounded.
On April 1, 1942 Miller
was the first African American
commended by the Secretary
of the Navy, Frank Knox, and
on May 27, 1942 he received
the Navy Cross for his extraordinary courage in battle. His
rank was raised to Mess
Attendant First Class on June
1, 1942.
As happened with other
war heroes, Dorie Miller was
then sent on a tour in the
States to raise money for war
bonds, but Miller he was soon
called back (spring '43) to
serve on the new escort carrier the USS Liscome Bay. The
ship was operating in the
Pacific near the Gilbert
Islands. At 5:10 a.m. on
November 24, the ship was
hit by a single torpedo fired
from a Japanese submarine.
The torpedo detonated the
bomb magazine on the carri-
er; the bombs exploded, and
the ship sank within minutes.
Miller was initially listed as
missing; by November 1944
he status was changed to
"presumed dead." Only 272
men survived the attack.
Today there is a Dorie
Miller park in Hawaii and a
good number of schools and
buildings throughout the U.S.
are named in his honor. He
was also one of four Naval
heroes featured on U.S. postal
stamps in 2010.
The Government Shutdown is insane!
By Congresswoman Eddie
Bernice Johnson
It has been nearly two
weeks since some of the basic
functions of our government
have been shut down because
the extreme right wing of the
Republican Party in Congress
opposes the Affordable Care
Act, and is holding the entire
nation hostage because of its
position.
The impact of the shutdown is enormous. Hundreds
of thousands of government
employees, including many in
North Texas, are not working.
Some live pay-check to paycheck, and there is great uncertainty as to how they are going
to pay their bills. Businesses in
our region that rely on government contracts are being negatively impacted.
The shutdown is totally
irresponsible and is doing
severe damage to our nation's
recovering economy. While
those responsible for the shutdown continue to receive their
salaries, our military veterans
are being harmed, new patients
are not being accepted into
crucial clinical research programs at the National Institutes
of Health and the Internal
Revenue Service is not processing refunds.
Our nation's food supply is
at risk because routine FDA
food inspections have been
suspended. Inspections of food
imported from other countries
have also ceased. Our national
parks have been closed, and
the surrounding communities
that depend on tourist dollars
from visitors are suffering.
Food banks in North Texas that
feed hungry families will have
to curtail their programs if this
situation persists.
The shutdown in 1995 cost
taxpayers hundreds of millions
of dollars. It prevented the
government from providing for
the general welfare of its citizens. Important services to our
military veterans were derailed,
and our economy was damaged.
There are reasonable
members in both political parties who would vote to open
the government tomorrow if a
bill was allowed to come to the
floor of the House. But the
extremists are making all types
of threats and insisting that
such a vote not take place.
In essence, the Tea Party
members that are supporting
the shutdown are holding the
government and the American
people hostage, while they
score political points with their
base. They have an extreme
dislike for President Obama,
and are willing to do anything
to halt the effectiveness of his
presidency.
Their behavior is not political, it is personal! The
Affordable Care Act was passed
by the Congress, signed by the
president and upheld as constitutional by the U.S. Supreme
Court. It was a signature plank
of the president's 2012 re-election bid, which the majority of
the American people supported.
As elected officials we are
sent to Washington to improve
the quality of life for those that
elect us. I am working egregiously with my colleagues who
understand the vital role that
government plays in the lives of
people to bring this disaster to
an end.

A Little Bit of Faith: : Who Are You in Christ?
By Mrs. Colleen White
Do you ever stop to
think about who you are in
Christ? Not many of us do.
We tend to get busy doing
all the things we have to do
on a daily basis without really thinking about our relationship with Jesus Christ. If
someone were to spend a
day with you, would they
know that you are a
Christian? Would they recognize Christ in you at some
point during the day? If that
takes you longer than a couple of minutes to answer,
then you might need to
think about how you are
developing your relationship
with Christ.
You see, God has not
called us to be silent
Christians. God does not
want us to keep Him to ourselves. God wants us to
share our faith in some way.
The problem is that too
many of us are undercover
Christians. If we were to be
pulled over by Christian
cops, we would be arrested
because there would not be
enough evidence to prove
that we know Christ. How
sad.
We are called to be a light
in a dark world. How can a
person get a glimpse of
Christ if you are not willing
to live your Christian faith in
front of them? You must be
willing to allow your light to
shine before men. Many
don't know nor do they
believe that "He (Christ) is
the image of the invisible
God, the firstborn over all
creation" (Colossians 1:15).
Some people will only come
to know Christ when they
see how real He is in your
daily life.
So if you have been an
undercover Christian, you
need to begin to take off
your disguise and share your
faith with others. You can
do this simply by praying
with someone in need,
meeting a need of another
person, or showing Christlike love toward other people. It's not difficult to do.
You just have to be willing to
be a light. "Your word is a
lamp to my feet and a light
for my path" (Psalm
119:105). Are you willing to
be a light for Christ? I know
I am. Amen? Amen.

MY DAY: WORLD'S BEST SELLING LEGAL DRUGS
By Dr. Ester Davis
Where are they testing these
drugs? Do they only give them to
the people they were tested on?
I think it is fair to tell you that
after very little research on this
subject, this article was initially
entitled "The Altered Human". I
would like to know what you think
after reading this article.
Every pill sold to the consumer is
tracked, studied and compiled.
Global spending on prescription
drugs is now over $600 billion. As
a reminder, there are reportedly
seven(7)billion people in the world
today. The United States still
accounts for the lion's share with
annual sales of about $252 billion.
China, South Korea, Mexico and
Russia are catching up. Pfizer is the
world's largest drug manufacturer
and has been for many years.
Their cholesterol pill Lipitor is the
best selling drug in the world for
the fifth year in a row.
Pfizer's Viagra, the diamond
shaped blue pill for male impotence, smashed all records its first
three(3)months on the market in
1998. Rapidly rising to the one billion target in sales within months.
It was and still is such a powerful
seller, that Pfizer introduced a
Viagra for women.
Other top legal selling drugs are
Plavix, the blood thinner; Nexium,
the heartburn pill and Advair, the
asthma inhaler. But hold on
America, the race is on to develop
the next blockbusting drug that
bypass the dollars of the miracle
drug Viagra. There are approximately 2,300 experimental drugs
being tested in humans, 40 antivirals and 30 potential medicines
for arthritis pain. Somewhere in
the neighborhood of 100 cancer
drugs, and 50 something heart
treatments are being tested.
Acomplia, a stop smoking drug has
been delayed by the U. S. Food and
Drug Administration and some cardiologists have mixed emotions
about the anti-obesity pill being
developed by Sanofi Aventis.
I simply wonder about the people spending money on legal
drugs. Were you a part of the beta
testing? The clinical trials or the
sampling? In taking one of the
world's best selling drugs, what did
the doctor say about your genetics? Final question, is it working
for you? It certainly is working for
the drug business.
Texas NAACP Celebrates 77 Years
Fighting For Civil Rights
Continued from Page 1A
Texas State Conference
President and National Board
Member Gary Bledsoe said,
"Texans are being confronted
with that we have not seen for
decades. Many battles that
provided better access to education, health care, civil liberties for low to moderate
income Texans are being
strategically and systematically
challenged by well funded
interests. During the last year
we have fought legislative districts drawn with discriminatory purposes, voter identification policies designed to intimidate voters for partisan purposes, and an educational infrastructure that does not always
address the needs of students
participating in a global economy. We have a parallel, but
fully integrated conference for
our Youth and College Division.
Texas students have been recognized for several consecutive
years, at the National
Convention, as the most effective youth in the country. We
are committed to creating genuine learning and training
opportunities for the next generation of NAACP leadership.
The mission of the NAACP is as
clear today as it has ever been.
We will not back away from our
historic mission."
The Conference has confirmed leaders from across the
state and the country to discuss
the issues associated with current and proposed programs
which have a real impact on
our ability to educate our children and raise our families to
participate in achieving full citizenship. On Thursday, we will
have workshops dealing with
how to fight against the push to
use public resources to sanction Confederate Flags culminating with a town hall about
various voting irregularities
that has occurred over the past
year. We will document the
testimony of people from the
Dallas-Fort Worth area, and
across the state, who have
experienced obstacles when
trying to vote. On Friday, we
will have Charles Lowery,
NAACP Director of Fair Lending
and Inclusion, to address issues
concerning credit, inclusion
and jobs. Ana Yanez-Correa,
Director of the Texas Criminal
Justice Coalition, and Howard
Jefferson will participate in
workshops that deal with our
efforts to fight the school to
prison pipeline, disparities in
the criminal justice system, and
the impact of new laws associated with criminal justice in the
State of Texas.
State Conference leaders
will present information and
offer services in several areas.
The
State
Education
Committee will present a
"Parent's Guide" to assist parents in assisting their students
from middle school through
high school and understanding
the roles and responsibilities
for all professionals in the education infrastructure. The State
Health Committee will address
access to affordable health care
in a town hall meeting on
October 11, 2013 from 11 am
to 1 pm at the Willie B. Johnson
Recreation Center (12225
Willowdale Drive in Dallas,
Texas). Professionals will be on
site to assist people in enrolling
for health care and free dental
screenings are being sponsored
by HEB. The State Veterans
Affairs Committee will host a
workshop to provide information to access resources for veterans and wounded warriors.
The Economic Development
Committee will provide a workshop on entrepreneurism and
access to business assistance
for business owners and those
interested in starting a business.
Experts will discuss the significant issues critical to the
future of the State of Texas
concerning redistricting and
voter identification. We will
thoroughly explore the core
principles within both issues,
including: (i) what local jurisdictions have been doing to
infringe on minority voting
rights and why Texas needs to
be covered by Section 5 of the
Voting Rights Act (by using
Section 3c); (ii) what needs to
be done to ensure that all eligible voters are able to vote
under
Texas'
Voter
Identification law and how we
can help those who are disenfranchised. The workshop will
discuss the current political and
legal climate in the area of
voter participation. The legal
team will also discuss best
practices for organizing communities to address changes in
the law concerning voting
rights.
These issues will define
whether many communities
will survive or thrive. The
NAACP remains committed to
working Civil Rights and Social
Justice for all. We will be honoring several Texans and other
prominent figures, who have
worked to achieve social equity
in our state and nation.
Honorees include:
1. Former Chief
Justice
Wallace
Jefferson as the
2013 Texas Hero for
his role in fighting
for low income
Texans to have a fair and proper representation at criminal
trials;
2. Mollie Finch
Belt,
Publisher
Dallas Examiner, as
another
2013
Texas Hero. She
has worked tirelessly to make sure that African
Americans are aware of what is
going on around Texas and the
country;
3. Bob Lydia,
Texas NAACP 1st
Vice President and
NAACP National
Board Member, as
Texas NAACP Hero
for 2013 for his dedication to
fighting for the voiceless and
making sure that African
Americans receive the help
that they have needed in Texas.
Garland Branch of the
NAACP and the Texas State
Conference of NAACP Branches
cordially invite all people of
good will to attend and participate in the 77th Annual State
Convention. The challenges
facing Texas are historic. We
are meeting to address issues
that impact all of our communities and want to develop an
agenda to secure, protect, and
defend the rights guaranteed
to each of us by the
Constitutions of Texas and the
United States of America.
Credo of The Black Press
The Black Press believes
that America can best lead
the world away from racial
and national antagonisms
when it accords to every
person, regardless of race,
color or creed, full human
and legal rights. Hating no
person, fearing no person,
the Black Press strives to
help every person in the firm
belief that all are hurt as long
as anyone is held back.

Mrs. Willie Mae "Ankie" Kirk Succumbs
Mrs. Willie Mae "Ankie" Kirk was born
in Manor, Texas February 4, 1921. She
lived in Austin, Texas and died September
21, 2013 at the age of 92. Mrs. Kirk was a
consummate humanitarian. Numerous
awards, special honors, recognitions for
lifetime achievements, and letters of commendation document her more than 50
years of philanthropy in the Austin community. Her expansive personal philosophy embraced two main visions for
humanity; the first was her belief in "the
worth and dignity of each individual,"
and the second was her firm commitment
that "if you have anything at all, you have
something to share." Arising from these
bedrock values, Mrs. Kirk's leadership
and civic service in Austin ensured her
position as one of the most beloved elders
in the community. Mrs. Kirk attended and
graduated from the original/segregated
"Old Anderson High School." In 1947 she
earned a B.S. Degree in Social Science at
Sam Huston College (now Huston-Tillotson
University). She began her career as a certified public school teacher in 1947 and
taught elementary education until her
retirement in 1982. While attending Sam
Huston, Willie Mae met and married Lee
Andrew Kirk of San Antonio. They had
four children. She accomplished graduate
work in education at Prairie View College
and the University of Texas at Austin. She
encouraged her children to be involved in
public service and was pleased that
Saundra, Connie, and Lee each became
involved in various civic capacities. She
was especially proud of her son Ron, who
accomplished a political career that has
spanned being Governor Ann Richard's
Texas Secretary of State, a two-term Dallas
Mayor, a candidate for the U.S. Senate, and

President Barack Obama's appointee to
his Cabinet as the United States Trade
Representative. Willie Kirk frequently collaborated with other involved citizens and
community leaders on many fronts to heal
racial tensions, and to promote social justice and quality education in Austin. She
was a co-founder of the 1963-1964
Mothers Action Council, a timely and controversial local civil rights movement. In
1968 the Austin City Council appointed
Mrs. Kirk to its first Human Rights
Commission. Representing this membership, she served on an ad hoc committee
to deal with a race riot that resulted from
attempts to desegregate businesses in the
University of Texas area. Austin Mayor
Jeffrey Friedman appointed her to the
Library Commission in 1971. In recognition of the Carver Library as Austin's first
branch library, Mrs. Kirk spearheaded a
funding drive and supported a bond initiative that resulted in the victory that saved
it from demolition. In March 1976, the
City approved funding for the architectur-
al design and building of a new 10,000
square foot library adjacent to the existing building, concurrent with the remodeling of the original building as a museum
and historic landmark. Willie Mae was a
passionate supporter of her beloved Alma
Mater, Huston-Tillotson University, a lifelong member of the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored People
(NAACP), an active member of the Delta
Sigma Theta Sorority, and a founding
member of the Town Lake Chapter of The
Links, Inc. She was also a member of Jack
& Jill of America, the National Council of
Negro Women, Girl Scouts of America,
W.H. Passon Historical Society, and organizer of the Washington Heights/Holy Cross
Neighborhood Club. Through affiliations
within these and other networks, she
earned the respect of a wide spectrum of
state and local leaders of political, educational, non-profit, and religious institutions. Her final honor came in October
2012 when the City of Austin recognized
her collective achievements with the naming and dedication of the Willie Mae Kirk
Library (formerly Oak Springs) in East
Austin. Willie Mae was predeceased by her
13 siblings, her beloved husband, Lee
Andrew Kirk, Sr. (1982) and a son, Lee
Andrew, Jr. (2004). She is lovingly
remembered and her legacy cherished by
her surviving children: Victoria Saundra
Kirk, Connie Jo Kirk, and Ronald Kirk
(Matrice); four granddaughters, six great
grandchildren, and a host of friends and
former students. In lieu of flowers, you
may donate in her name to: HustonTillotson University, or The Church of the
New Testament, Austin, Texas.
