By Abdul Arif Muhammad, Esq.---In an April 23, 2010 Op-Ed piece for The New York Times entitled "Ending the Slavery Blame-Game," Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr. argues that a moral, historic, political and economic equivalency exists between the culpability and responsibility of some Africans who participated in the transatlantic slave trade with the nations of Europe and the American colonies . This article perverts history and violates what Dr. W.E.B. DuBois called "scientific truth." The article was intellectually disingenuous from the stand point of history and scholarship.

I also remembered that today marks the 42nd anniversary of the assassination of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

I received several news alerts this morning announcing that rapper Jay-Z, Russell Simmons, Rev. Al Sharpton, Peace Keepers founder Dennis Muhammad, Wise Intelligent of The Poor Righteous Teachers and more will be rallying this Saturday in Trenton, NJ in support of a 7-year-old gang rape victim. According to news reports, a teenage girl in New Jersey is accused of selling her 7-year-old sister for sex.

"Last year I was staring death in the face but I am alive to keep fighting. I know it was due in large part to the support of Minister Farrakhan and the story that appeared in The Final Call newspaper. The Final Call helped to save my life. "

This week, Assistant Editor Ashahed Muhammad tackles a serious issue in the cover story titled "Catholic Church accused of denying justice to Blacks abused by priests". It's a compelling article about Black victims of sex abuse charging inaction and a cover-up by the Catholic Church.
