The Star Trek franchise is the most successful science fiction offering in television history, and the Gene Roddenberry brainchild is the most prolific science fiction franchise in the history of the big screen as well with 12 “Star Trek” films having been produced since 1979. “Star Trek: Into Darkness” is the second installment since the [...]
*The Indiana Pacers have proven to be every bit the equal of the second-seeded New York Knicks thus far in the Eastern Conference Semifinals. From the start this series had all the markings of a good, old-fashioned “guard your grill, knuckle up” type of series the likes of which would make former Knick Charles Oakley [...]
*No one north of Jamaica Avenue, west of the Hudson River or having a 22 I.Q. picked the Brooklyn Nets to get to the NBA Finals anytime soon, so enough belly-aching over their unceremonious exit. All the pomp and splendor of the Brooklyn Nets season has run its course, not unlike the S. Carter sneaker [...]
*Recently, I ran into “RHOA/Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Cynthia Bailey at the 2nd Annual “My Dream Speaks” award benefit and silent auction. The veteran supermodel was on hand as the host for the evening. It’s not everyday one gets a 1-on-1 with a star a from top-rated cable television show, so I was all [...]
Last week I was invited down to the Times Center in Times Square to cover the 2nd Annual My Dream Speaks Benefit Reception honoring the Morrison Foerster law firm for its contributions toward helping mentor and maintain the Global Language Project.

*The story of Jackie Robinson (#42) is one that every grammar school child in America has likely heard of. Those same children are just as likely to have forgotten about this triumph over adversity and bigotry by the time they become adults, acknowledging Robinson only from an athletic perspective. Not only was Robinson the first [...]
*In August of 2012 a group of unsupervised teenagers committed crimes that, taken at face value, some initially speculated amounted to little more than “boys being boys”, but upon closer inspection we see this case stinks of criminal callousness, corruption and carelessness for and that stench is upon all involved. The case was thrust into the international spot light not [...]
*”The Sapphires” is a story adapted from the original stage play by Wayne Blair, and written by Tony Briggs. Directed by Wayne Blair, it tells a true story based on the lives of Briggs’ mother and aunts. It is a story that many in the United States can relate to, especially African Americans. Yes, there are many soulful [...]
On Friday, March 15. the film “Better Mus’ Come” opened in select theaters across the nation. It follows the life of a young man seemingly trapped in gang warfare and political violence in 1970s Jamaica, a very time the nation’s history.

*On April 18, 2012, I started writing a editorial on the murder of Trayvon Martin. It had been almost 4 months since Martin was shot to death by George Zimmerman on February 26, 2012. I waited so long because I initially refused to write a single word on the affair because it hit so close [...]
*Recently EURweb.com’s founder Lee Bailey spoke with Grammy Award-winning music industry vet Isaias Gamboa. The author of the book “We Shall Overcome: Sacred Song on the Devil’s Tongue” told us of Louise Shropshire’s opus, his quest to expose those he claims stole her legacy, and the importance of returning GOD to the selection. Here we continue that [...]
*”We Shall Overcome” is one of the most meaningful songs of the entire African American experience and is almost synonymous with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr and the Civil Rights Movement. The Library of Congress named it “the most powerful song of the 20th century.” But who wrote it, who owns it, and whose pimping it? Those [...]
*Cameo film appearances by NBA players is nothing new. Remember Kareem Abdul Jabar comes to mind, appearing in such classics as “Airplane” and “Enter the Dragon.” The new comedy “Movie 43″ features some of the biggest names in show business. Halle Berry, Charlie Sheen, Terrance Howard, and professional basketball player Corey Brewer, among many others. [...]
*This is the American male’s favorite time of year. It’s his payback for all the holiday festivities he endured, all the super Dad stunts, for all those times he was shaken awake to check on a sound, for all the midnight runs to the store and for opening those hard to open jars. Yes, the [...]
