Richmond top Democrats have not treat JJ Minor
fair.
JJ Minor son of Delegate Delores McQuinn has worked
the grass roots part of many campaigns. He has aided in
many candidates getting elected. After the democrats
lost the Governor’s race in November Minor was left
unemployed. Minor is known for his promotion skills
and getting people out to vote.
For the many years of dedication and hard work for the
Democratic Party they should have made sure he had
some type of employment.

Hair Care tips by Lady J
Looking Fabulous Even In Tough Times
Want to maintain that well put together look, even when salon visits
are cut down or just not an option. Here are some tips for tough
times.
1-Consider a well defined cut that can be worn in more than one
style but doesn’t cost a lot to maintain. An easy to work easy to play
style that you can wash at home flat iron or curl and tousle through
with your fingers is the way to go.
2-An updated mid –length layered bob will always grow out
nicely. Hot oil treatments followed by moisturizing shampoos and
conditioners help to nourish and strengthen your coif. Semipermanent colors are good when you’re trying to save money
because you don’t have to maintain the color as often as
permanent. Always use the same products as your stylist-your hair
Will benefit from the regular routine. Look for styles that are
appealing and low-maintenance. With a little love care your hair will
still look fabulous even if you can’t get back to the salon as quickly
as you’d like.

Health Tips for 2010
1. Get up and do something. Obesity, high blood pressure,
diabetes, stroke and arthritis are all chronic conditions that are
more prevalent among the inactive, overweight population. Just 30
minutes of moderate physical exercise everyday can help keep
your risk for these serious, costly conditions low. You’ll be
improving your overall health while taking steps (literally) to help
keep healthcare cost down.
2. Watch your mouth. Eating right can improve your overall, and
therefore keep your healthcare costs down. Obesity and being
overweight, and the health problems associated with them, cost
Americans as much as $100 billion each year. Devising a nutritional
plan to accompany your excise program can reduce chronic
problems like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and
asthma. Proper nutrition can improve your overall health, reducing
the risk of such common illnesses as colds and viruses.
3. Develop a Professional Relationship. Two professionals are
vital to your optimal healthcare cost savings- your physician and
your pharmacist. Getting to know them, and letting them really get
to know you and your family can save all of us billions each year.
You see, Americans spend about $15 billion on preventable
medical “errors” each year. These “errors” result from patients not
being completely forthcoming with their physicians. We like to lie
about how much we smoke or drink, about how much we really
understand what the doctor or pharmacist is saying regarding our
condition and its treatment, about what medications we are taking.
These “errors” result in overmedicating, under dosing, medication
interactions, allergic reactions, drug/alcohol interactions, and other
preventable injuries.
Honesty really is the best policy, especially when it comes to
your physical and mental health. Having a good relationship
with your physical can have added benefits, too. Regular
checkups can spot problems before they reach stages
requiring expensive, extensive treatments.

Sam Cooke crime scene………
The Mysterious Death Of Sam Cooke:

Sam Cooke
Elisia Boyer
Sam Cooke made history by becoming the first African American who owned
his songwriting and publishing rights. He also founded his own record label,
owned the company that manufactured his records and he purchased a beer
brewery in Baltimore. These feats were unheard of for an African-American
in the 1960’s.
On Dec.11,1964, Cooke was approached by shadowy figures who wanted to
buy into his lucrative businesses. Sam decline the offer by saying ‘ I like
being my own man.’ Later that evening, Cooke left a popular night club with
a beautiful Euro Asian woman named Lisa Boyer. According to Boyer, Cooke
drove her to a motel in South Central and tried to rape her, when she broke
free, Cooke allegedly chased her through the courtyard. When she reached
the managers office, Cooke irrational behavior, she would pull out a gun and
shoot him four times, he would die instantly. This was the offical story given
to the medias around the world.After a brief trial, the jury deliberated for 15
minutes and found a verdict of justifiable homicide. Both were freed.
Cooke family hired an private investigator who uncovered the following
facts:
Rumors says Cooke had dated Elisa Boyer three weeks proir to his murder
despite the fact that numerous people warned him about her colorful past
which included prostiution. If Cooke was dating her, why would he try to
rape her?
Singer Etta James revealed in her book”Rage to Survive,” that Cooke was so
badly beaten that his head was decapitated from his shoulders, his hands
were broken and crushed, his nose was smasshed and he had a two inch
bump on his head. These injuries were never explained and a woman could
not inflict these type of injuries.Bertha Franklin had a .32 registered in her
name yet Cooke was killed with a .22.
Cooke’s widow married Bobby Womack 3 months after his death.
Cooke’s wife also sold the Sam Cooke publishing catalogue to a Jewish
businessman for $103,000. This catalogue currently generates $3-$5
million a year.

RICHMOND SPOTLIGHT
The Path of black political power
The headline that greeted city residents on the morning of March 5, 1977
seemed calculated to send a new round of shudders through corporate
boardrooms and whites-only neighborhoods already reeling from the
week‟s election returns. “Power to the People,” the Richmond AfroAmerican triumphantly proclaimed, raising a verbal clenched fist to a city
and state steeped in the virtues of patrician, oligarchic rule. Nine facesfive black, four white-peered from the pages, recording an historic first.
Never before had a Southern city elected a black council majority do its
business.
The Afro-American‟s response was both a measure of the momentary
euphoria and a foreshadowing of the bitterness to come. “An era
dominated by narrow-minded, racist politicians who served only the white
elite and their business interests at the expense and suffering of black
people and poor white people, has ended…hopefully forever,” wrote
Editor Raymond Boone.(Richmond Free press)
Black progress in Virginia‟s capital has fallen shy of expectations. To be
sure, the political shift has brought a tide of black faces to city hall and a
few city contracts to minority-owned firms. But the transfer of power from
whites to blacks has proved more painful and the acquisition of power less
absolute than many blacks envisioned. A voting majority at city hall has
done nothing to erase segregation in the high-toned, azalea-filled
neighborhoods of west Richmond, where household income is four times
that of the city as a whole. Nor has it eliminated the knots of unemployed
black men, standing idly at midday amidst the abandoned houses and
garbage-strewn lots of the East End and North side.
It has not stopped a steady erosion of white support for public schools.
And it has not reduced the number of black Richmonders who live in
poverty.
City council is now back in the hands of white majority and the citizens of
Richmond are looking for great things to happen but as for the black
communities they must keep hope alive because black leadership has
ruined the black side of Richmond…………..

City amends towing charges
Citizens came out to city council meeting in protest to the increasing of towing fees of
towed vehicles from private property. Some of the complaints included administration fees,
finding your vehicle after being towed, daily storage fees, and how many have lost their
vehicles to towing companies because fees added up faster than they could raise the money.
Under the current code, the most they can charge for that initial tow is $65.00, but the city
has raised it to $125.00.
The only person to speak in favor of the raise other than towing company’s representatives
was the President of The Jeff Davis Civic Association Charles Willis, why?
With vehicle and fuel costs on the rise-it sounds like a fair enough deal say’s a Capital
Garage representative. What do you think ?
Ms.Maggie’s Seafood gone !
Bo Jones and Ronald Hinton were stopped before they had a chance to
get their venture off the ground.They were behind in their rent and after
spending thousands of dollars fixing the building up the landlord change
the door locks. Many partons said the food could use some help and prices
were high for what you got, but it was a beautiful place. Some say we
needed a place like Maggie’s to go to where they could come out and get
away from the young crowd and have a nice time listening to oldies.
Maggie Walker Consolidated Bank sold again.
Maggie Walker said “Let us put our moneys together; let us put our
money out at usury among ourselves, and reap the benefit ourselves,”
Walker said in a 1901 speech “Let us have a bank that will take the nickels
and turn them into dollars.”
Two years later, St. Luke Penny Savings bank was formed, with Walker as
its president. By 1913, assets had grown to over $300,000, and she
presided over the flourishing black community of Jackson Ward,
sometimes called the Harlem of the South. It was home to five other
black-owned banks and scores of other African-American-owned
businesses. She made loans to black businesses, she made loans to
students, she made loans to people to buy houses, and she made it easy to
get loans. Walker also started a weekly newspaper, and a department store
that ultimately failed after the white community boycotted it and its
suppliers.
While many of the largest black-owned banks went under during the Great
Depression, Walker’s bank survived, in part by merging with two smaller,
black-owned banks in 1930, when it was renamed Consolidated Bank &
Trust. The bank did great and made money for years then when integration
happen in the 60’s black money started leaving the black community and
began to circulate in other communities instead of the black community.
It’s been rumored that back when blacks were getting jobs in the major
factories like Phillip Morris , American Tobacco, Reynolds Metal and
were buying homes, cars and other major items Consolidated never push
for their business and many mortgages and car loans were made by Bank
of Virginia, Richmond Bank, United Virginia Bank and loan companies.
It’s rumored that Consolidated preferred to loan money to Teachers,
Lawyers, Doctors and other professional. It’s also rumored that your
banking business would be all over the street.

Pastor Robert Scarborough pissed………………
According to Pastor Scarborough founder of The Word Church International Ministries, he received an early christmas gift from local Christian
Radio station WREJ 1540. After 3 ½ years on WREJ 1540 and spending $40,000.00 his show “The Truth of the Matter” was cancelled before
christmas. Pastor Scarborough known for preaching about preachers, often preached about preachers stealing in the name of the lord and not
preaching or living the truth. Recently he started calling preachers names over the radio. His boldness and desire to reveal truth has made him one
of the most controversial Ministers in Richmond. His radio trouble started when he started talking about Ministers who also had shows on WREJ
especially Bishop Daniel Robertson of Mt.Gilead Full Gospel International Ministies. He talked about rumors of Bishop Robertson possible
involvement with Darrell Underwood and the Ponzi scheme which led to his arrest and conviction.According to Pastor Scarborough Bishop
Robertson, Pastor Foote and other ministers threaten to leave WREJ if Scarborough remained on the radio. According to Pastor Scarborough he
was told his show no longer fit in the direction the station wanted to go. The Heart and Soul talk with representatives of WREJ and they said “we
have no comments but we wish him all the success in the world”.
Pastor Scarborough show have found a new home at WCLM 1450am Tuesday-Thursday from 1:30pm-2pm.
When asked for comment on the issue Pastor Scarborough proclaimed “The battle is far from over, anyone who played even a minor role in going
against a man that stands on the Word of God and cries out for the people will pay a price for above any cash amount”, when asked if he was
surprised or caught off guard by the recent event he added “ Absolutely not read John 16:1-3, my work has just begun”.

A Book Review from
The Voices from the Drum Radio Book Club
Hosted by Gloria Taylor Edwards on WCLM 1450/AM Radio
Them By: Push
Now the Major Motion Picture ‘Precious’, (Producers: Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry)
Books by Black Authors
Warning: from the beginning, despite her crude manners and foul-mouth, and before we even get the full picture of her familial struggles,
protagonist Claireece Precious Jones, captures and holds the readers heart throughout his entire story. So it’s not surprising that Claireece
Precious Jones is one of the most cogently-developed characters this reviewer has ever come upon in the many novels read and reviewed
on this platform. At times, it was difficult to read this story without feeling startled over the gritty reality of what life must be like for
someone like Precious Jones. However, it’s the act of motherhood that leads this illiterate, physically-sexually-emotionally abused single
mother to push for something better- a powerful reality-message to others caught up in life-situations that are similar to precious Jones.
Overall, PUSH carries a potent message of hope, self-discovery, and most of all, redemptive liberation. Author, Sapphire, is a noted
‘performance poet’, and it comes across in her inimitable style of perceptive, sometimes elegiac, form of storytelling. PUSH is an
9
unforgettable story….well-worthy of adaptation to screen, and this reviewer
can’t wait to see the movie! On a Reviewer’s Scale of 1 though
10- with one being a devastatingly-bad-read and ten being an awesomely-wonderful-read- PUSH scores a 10!

THINGS NOT TALKED ABOUT, BUT EVERYONE WANTS TO KNOW ABOUT!
Jermaine Jackson married Brother Randy girlfriend and then divorces her.
Rev. James Cleveland
Popular preacher, recording artist and pastor, Rev. James Cleveland died
in 1991 in Culver City, California. Though his death often recognized as
having been a result of heart failure, there has been an enduring
controversy as to whether or not Cleveland actually succumbed to Aidsrelated complications. Subsequent to these rumors circulating, Christopher
Harris, a former member of Cleveland’s church levied allegations of
homosexuality and pedophilia against Cleveland in a 1994 news article.
Harris claims he was 13 when he started his sexual encounters with
Cleveland, it was not molestation. Nor, he said, he was not his first such
encounter with a man. He says that they were typical of the secretive
lifestyle of many of the people to whom he was exposed, “People in
(Cleveland’s) inner circle knew, people at church knew,” he said. “But
they pretended it didn’t exist. Harris who has HIV filed suit against
Cleveland estate alleging 5 years of sexual contact that ended with Harris
testing positive for HIV. The case was settled out of court. The terms
prohibit him from discussing the settlement, but he is free to discuss his
life with Cleveland.
According to Margaret Maldonado in her book, “Jackson Family Values,”
Jermaine Jackson didn’t want her to forge out a career, instead, he wanted
her barefoot and pregnant despite the fact, he wasn’t allegedly, bringing
any money into the household. Maldonado would go on to produce “The
Jacksons: An American Dream. When the series became a ratings success,
she got other offers. Maldonado has 2 sons by Jermaine. After breaking up
with her, Jermaine married Randy’s girlfriend Alijandra. This act of
betrayal left Randy emotionally wrecked. Randy has 2 kids by Alijandra.
Another new face at the Jackson house was a baby name Dante, whom
Joseph brought into the family. While no one was claiming paternity, the
baby called Jermaine “daddy’ and Alijandra “mommy” despite the fact
that Alijandra had not been recently pregnant. Joseph remains silent on the
issue and Jermaine has divorced Alijandra and married Halima Rashid.
The Jacksons have a TV show call The Jackson: A family Dynasty. This
program was filmed all year as they mourned Michael’s death in June.
Denny Terrio host of “Dance Fever sued billionaire Merv Griffin for
sexual harassment. The 11.3 million dollar case was later dismissed. Terro
hosted his own Disco radio show on the Sirius Network. In 1991 Brent
Plott filed a 250 million dollar palimony suit against Merv Griffin,
claiming “I gave him sex, companionship, emotional support and anything
else he wanted. I traveled the world with him as a sexual play thing, his
case was dismissed.
According to Atlanta talk show hostess Alexyss Tylor “Jackie Wilson
raped her underage mother, and she is the product of that rape”. This is not
the first time rape allegations have been leveled against singer Jackie
Wilson. Patti Labelle stated in her book that Wilson attempted to sexually
assault her until someone rescued her. By the time Wilson was 18, he had
fathered 9 kids. Throughout his life span he fathered 17 kids in total with
numerous women.

COVER
(804) 651-8546
You know when most people think of the words cover, covering, or covered,
other words such as blanket, a bathrobe, a pot lid, and umbrella, even a house
comes to mind. In today’s economy being what it is, words like security,
insurance, financial stability, and health care are truly on our minds. The bottom
line is we want protection, a shield, and safety. We really want to be covered.
“For All Your Religious Needs”
18 East Broad Street
Richmond, VA 23219
As we (the people) are transforming as a nation we continue to face obstacles in
our personal and professional lives. Let me be the first to state to you “I AM
PROUD OF ALL OUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS”. None of us can say we got
here on our own, made it through alone, and can leave here without the hand of
the Almighty God Himself. We need each other whether we agree with each other
or not.
Look at what has happened to us over the past hundred years. We were originally
thought of as animals and dumb, later captured into slavery, abused, tormented,
and killed. Though freed, we were turned against each other, educated by
segregation and molestation. Then finally given the right to vote, to make good
money, buy land and build fine homes. Now! In 2008 this world elected the first
African American president. A minority who has now become part of the majority
of possibilities, and victories our ancestors fought so hard for. To me, this is
historic and we are history. We are still making testimonies ya’ll on how we
overcame.
Oh! But we almost lost it. But now it’s back: the gleam in our children’s eyes,
tears of joy in the old ones eyes, and a boost of strength to the once weak, fearful,
and broken hearted is back. We can’t leave this place of renewed joy and power.
A covering is needed right now while our belief is at its highest. God has done it
again. Right in the middle of time where folk literally turned against themselves,
their children, marriages, family members, hard work, family values, and morals.
God has given us hope by showing us victory once again.
Yes, I know that we have all experienced a lot of what this life can throw at us.
Like the hidden generational mess, accidental, freaky, unimaginable, and life
changing stuff. Can we recover from the tragedy? Can we try again to make
something from nothing? YES WE CAN!
We all need to forgive ourselves for the stuff we got ourselves into, trying to be
grown. We need to forgive others too, because hurt people-hurt people and then
cover each other, shield, protect, and secure each other. We need patience with

the villages begin to raise each other. You see prejudices have taken on a new
face. When you look in the mirror, it’s really you and I.
