The media covers the horrible effects of drugs, the high rate of young women who become pregnant, robberies, killings, nonfunctioning families and the difficulties our children face in the educational system.  rdoss@newpittsburghcourier.com (Louis 'Hop' Kendrick) Thu, 07 Feb 2008 00:00:00 -0500 http://newpittsburghcourieronline.com/articlelive/articles/39876/1/Lifestyles-ReportBlack-enough/Page1.html I listen to a lot of talk radio.

I’ve loved live theater since the time my mother took me to the Play House on Craft Avenue in Oakland. I recently went for my second installment of “The Lion King” at the Benedum Center. debbienorrell@aol.com (Debbie Norrell) Thu, 24 Jan 2008 00:00:00 -0500 http://newpittsburghcourieronline.com/articlelive/articles/39823/1/To-Tell-The-TruthWe-shall-overcome-When/Page1.html How far have we really come since the days of the second Emancipation (’60s and ’70s)? rdoss@newpittsburghcourier.com (Louis 'Hop' Kendrick) Thu, 24 Jan 2008 00:00:00 -0500 http://newpittsburghcourieronline.com/articlelive/articles/39768/1/Lifestyles-ReportMy-favorite-things-08/Page1.html Oprah isn’t the only person with a favorite things list. A couple of years ago I shared a few of my favorite things and as a result, some of those items are now on your list of things that you can’t do without. debbienorrell@aol.com (Debbie Norrell) Thu, 17 Jan 2008 00:00:00 -0500 http://newpittsburghcourieronline.com/articlelive/articles/39767/1/To-Tell-The-TruthIs-Obamas-victory-the-end-of-racism/Page1.html     The most direct answer to the above headline is a big NO.
