A Decisive Moment in the Struggle

to Make America's

Independence More Inclusive

by Dan Perkins

The Fourth of July comes with a mix of emotions for many within the Afro-American community -- a mix consisting of pride, patriotism and an abiding dose of pain caused by a much deeper conflict over issues of identity, opportunity and full participation in America.  This year, the mix of emotions is at the fore as thousands gather in Reno, Nevada to observe the centennial of a pugilistic encounter between the then reigning heavyweight champion Jack Johnson, and his opponent, Jack Jeffries, a man who had previously held boxing's most coveted title.

IN THE ARTS

India of K-Town, Dan Perkins calls it a Must See Film

"You will be touched by the power of this documentary ... to see how the generosity of an extraordinarily compassionate entrepreneur transforms the life of a young woman growing up in one of Chicago's toughest neighborhoods.  I highly recommend INDIA OF K-TOWN, an independent video by Chicago's own Emmy Award winning director Beverly Price."
