By Polo Munoz, Managing Editor/Publisher Recognizing Juneteenth should be just the beginning of our education into the pain black folks in the US have suffered and continue to suffer. We celebrate their gifts with them every minute of the day, the music, the literature, the art, and the fashion. However, in many cases, many who enjoy their gifts are also a cause of their pain. There is no way to ignore that most of us can never really feel the systematized physical, emotional and spiritual violence that has been designed to denigrate, dehumanize and paralyze this beautiful community from...

Or the founders were racists, and were accepted as quirky because they launched a product that sold successfully.

by Chloe Diaz, Contributing Writer A little over a week ago, on February 3rd, Iowa was the first state to have their democratic primary votes. We know today that the end poll results have Buttigieg leading, with 26.8% of the vote, Sanders with 25.2%, Warren with 18.4%, Biden trailing with 15.4% and Amy Klobuchar with 12.6%. But what could this possibly mean, considering the difficulties it took to get here? Another instance of lost trust. Trump’s acquittal came to no one’s surprise, except for perhaps the idea of Hope. It came and it went and honestly, I barely registered...
