  • Politics Is Like Hiring A Hitman
    by Scott Woods inPolitical on2020-08-13

    For me, politics is like hiring a hitman. I have values and things I care about. I care enough about them to at least bother voting for 5 minutes every year for one issue or another. And because I care at least that much, I vote for people who align with the ability to realize the things I care about.

  • Punching Above Our Weight

    I believe our vote is the punctuation of our voice. Without that resounding exclamation mark, I believe our voices are just incoherent noise.

  • Living in a Black No-Man's Land
    by Roger Madison Jr. inOur Community on2019-10-28

    There are many narratives that define the Black experience in America in this 2nd decade of the 21st century. Our striving over the centuries of our sojourn in this nation is a tapestry of every human experience -- oppression, enslavement, forced assimilation, dehumanization, exclusion, segregation, isolation, struggle, perseverance, achievement, excellence, celebration, mourning, despair, progress, setbacks, lynching, assassination, genocide, terror, self-hatred, low esteem, pride,...

  • Fighting Racism
    by Scott Woods inOur Community on2018-10-25

    I had a boss who was racist. Not an outright bigot, of course; her toolbox was more subtle than most. We bumped heads a lot over inconsequential things. She frequently couldn’t keep my name out her mouth. Lot of gaslighting. You know…2018 style. I tried a lot of ways to combat or navigate her issues. None of them worked, and that’s saying a lot because I’m really good at fighting racism. But at the end of the day – every day – she was my boss, I had to deal with her, and that was that. Finally I...

WRESTLING FEDERATION JOINS FATHER MARCH

 

July 22, 2008


WRESTLING FEDERATION JOINS FATHER MARCH
Educators To Lead Discussion Panel San Bernardino, CA. 4Positive Knowledge founder and Million Father March organizer, Terry Boykins, announced today that the Empire Wrestling Federation will join efforts in promoting positive fatherhood involvement for the upcoming August 9 event beginning at 10 am.

Boykins stated that he and Jesse Hernandez, Empire Wrestling Federation representative, have agreed to bolster the event by erecting an actual competition ring at the west-end lowel level plaza of the Carousel Mall located in downtown San Bernardino. Hernandez says that guest wrestlers will be on hand to take photos with fathers and their families.

A series of five distinct discussion panels and other activities are scheduled to take place in the ring during the "Fatherhood vs. Fatherless Showdown for the Positive." Additionally, there will be special performances and a tribute to military fathers serving abroad.

The event is for all fathers regardless of ethnicity, faith or socio-economic backgrounds. This is a positive community event to engage and encourage fathers to take a more active role in the lives and education of their children. Begun as grass-roots effort five years ago, the effort now reaches nearly 500 cities in America.

In support of teachers, Boykins stated that "we are asking each father to bring one ream of copy paper to help reduce the out of pocket expense by teachers." He is planning for even more significant support as the campaign grows year to year.

Complimentary exhibit booths are available to non-profit and community based organizations. Business exhibitors also invited.

A number of area lawmakers and educators are supporting the event.
