HOUSTON Ruby Lee Sanders Mosley is the oldest daughter born to Rosa Bell and Willie Sanders on April 25, 1929. Born in Mexia, Mosley is a retired educator, lifelong community activist, humanitarian and a devout Christian. At the age of 16, Ruby graduated from Woodland High School. Afterwards, she became a certified beautician at Franklin Beauty College. She utilized that skill to finance her higher learning. She relocated to Houston in 1948 and met the love of her life, Melvin, together they birthed three daughters, Carrie, Wanda and Marilyn. After completing her studies at Prairie View A&M University, University of Houston and University of Texas-Austin, she worked as a Health Coordinator with Gulf Coast Community Services. It was there, that she really found her niche and became the great Acreage Homes’ advocate so many have come to love and adore. Mosley received training in community organizing from Alex Branch – a former community leader in Acreage Home. She would go on to work tirelessly advocating to provide water, sewer and city services to areas in Houston that still had outhouses. She also partnered with KPRC-TX Channel 2, Napolean Johnson who also assisted with her cause. Cont. aframnews.com

Miles Ahead Scholars: A Legacy Program Aimed to Help Young Men of Color go to College

very urban city has African-American communities that have been neglected, and opportunities to succeed are scarce. This ongoing trend has reverberated for decades and leaves little hope for many of our kids. Houston is home to several of these neighborhoods. In 2014, President Barack Obama launched
My Brother’s Keeper, an initiative to address the persistent achievement gaps boys and young men of Color face. Studies from top research institutions found what we already knew. African-American men are a dying breed on college campuses. I sought to change this upon being elected as a state senator in 2016. We needed a program to help our young men of Color get to college and succeed. I approached the Texas Education Agency (TEA), the Houston Independent School District (HISD) and education advocates with this goal, and they all agreed. So, we got to work and developed a program based on best practices. Then, I was able to secure $22 million during the past two legislative sessions to fund the program.
Last week, I joined HISD, the TEA and hundreds of community leaders and education advocates to unveil the fruits of our labor and welcome the inaugural class of the Miles Ahead Scholars. The Miles Ahead Scholars’ inaugural class consists of sixty 9th and 10thgrade boys who show academic promise from Wheatley, Worthing and Kashmere High Schools. Each of these schools is located in predominantly African-American communities. The program will follow these boys and future classes as they become men and graduate from high school. The program has dedicated staff to allow the students to achieve excellence in academics, learn skills for success and to help them apply and get accepted to top
colleges and universities. It sets very high goals for the scholars. The students will also be mentored by successful men of Color, participate in professional internships so they can receive real-world experience and visit the top universities in the country. We need to show these kids what possibilities lie ahead. At the personal invitation of HISD Interim Superintendent Grenita Lathan, Alpha Phi Alpha General President Dr. Everett Ward flew in to surprise me and celebrate the inaugural class. We all know the old African Proverb, “It takes a village to raise a child.” As chair of the Council of Presidents of the National Pan Hellenic Council, Inc., which represents the nine historically Black Greek-let-
tered Organizations, Dr. Ward was thrilled to see members from several Black fraternal organizations present and asked the brothers to help mentor, protect and lead these young brothers. I live by that old village saying, “That he is not heavy. He is my brother. When one makes it over the fence, he is responsible for reaching back and helping the next one over to be successful.” I plan on being there for each one of these boys and help them make it over the fence. But I can’t do this alone. If you’re interested in mentoring a scholar or becoming a partner organization, please contact my office to learn more about these rewarding opportunities.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR In Response to WE MUST Understand: Who Really Wins? ~ Volume 24 Issue 38 Responding to “Judge’s hug not embraced by all.” I have never witnessed anyone more disgusting as the troubled District Judge Tammy Kemp. How could this emotional Judge JUSTIFY her behavior in a serious murder trial involving Amber Guyger. This Jurist had the audacity to hug a White cop after being convicted of ten years for the senseless killing of an unarmed Black man. If the roles had been reversed with the officer being Black and the victim White, there is no doubt that the punishment would have been at least thirty-years. Everyone knows that there has always been a disparity regarding fairness in the judicial system. However, I am more disturbed by the actions of the brother of the Botham Jean. He also hugged the White cop in spite of the inexcusable killing. Why do Black people as a whole have to be always so forgiving to White people? I realize that slavery did create tremendous brainwashing on our mental state as a race. We are always told to do the right thing and turn the other cheek. Our beloved ministries always remind us that we will receive our reward on the other side of the mountain. Always be good a Negro and we will be rewarded later by Jesus. Amber Guyger’s race indeed played an important role in the Jury’s decision in granting her only a manslaughter sentence for a murder conviction. This misguided judge should be given a lifetime achievement award in memory of Ethel Waters. She was a total embarrassment to the court system and should be banned in ever hearing a criminal case.

We MUST Understand By Roy Douglas Malonson, Publisher
Simone Biles: Raw Talent
“I was built this way for a reason, so I’m going to use it.” -Simone Biles knew I had to write about the talented gymnast, Ms. Simone Biles, who has devastated the Olympics and the gymnastics arena with natural raw talent. Quotes like, “She is absolutely the best I have ever seen,” by Chinese Coach, Liang Chow; add validity to the words I have always said. There is just something about this blackness, they don’t understand. It never ceases to amaze me how people from other cultures and races stand in awe of the skills and talents of individuals of African descent. We MUST Understand, we Africans living in America have some of the greatest talents known to man. Being innovative, talented, trendsetters, inventors, leaders, etc., are attributes that have always been a part of the Black culture. There are many record breakers, whose potential has never been reached, due to some unfortunate mishap in their lives.

OPINION & EDITORIAL
There are those who are in the cemetery, imprisoned or somewhere not utilizing their potential, because they do not know how powerfully-skilled they are. Even Biles, who on last week just secured her fifth all-around world championship had to take a step back to reflect on her own abilities. When asked to comment about her latest accomplishment, she said, “I don’t know; I feel like it’s not me… Sometimes I wonder how I do it. I feel like it’s just, like, not me. I wish I could have like an out-of-body experience to witness it, because sometimes I think I’m going crazy.” Last Thursday, Biles concluded the all-around competition with a score of 58.999 and a 2.1 margin of victory, winning her 22nd medal at the world championship. To date, she has already won 16 gold medals in her sport. Concluding, Jane Coaston of Vox magazine wrote in response to Biles’ latest achievement, “It is extremely difficult to quantify ‘greatness’ in a sport where generally, female athletes may only compete for two to five years before retirement.” And while this may have some truth to it, all I can say is; it’s not difficult to quantify “greatness” when you are Black and born with natural raw tal- AANI ent.
Manual for Making a Difference
By Duvalier J. Malone
Reclaiming Our Seat at the Table
C
hange is always discussed and planned during an election year. It’s an opportunity for OUR fellow citizens to express their concerns, views, and present ideas to the candidates in hopes of seeing some type of change in their personal lives and within their communities. Right now, across the nation, people are expressing their viewpoints and positions on issues most important to them and demanding change. There are currently 19 Democrats who are running for president and while they are busy laying their platforms and agendas to the American people; Americans are also laying out their demands on both sides of the aisle. It’s the time of year that we come together and have real discussions with potential leaders of tomorrow to exchange views which impact us all. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is erupting in loud public discourse and it seems as if apathy has gripped a large portion of OUR political leaders in Congress and the Senate.
The days are behind us where lawmakers once led at the forefront of the movement for change. Instead, we have now become content and reliant upon others to do the work as we no longer see the plight of “OUR” responsibility. Somehow, we have decided it is now our responsibility to remain silent and only speak when it benefits us politically. The blame for this, as well as other issues, rests squarely on the shoulders of not just OUR political leaders, but we the people of the United States of America. OUR educational system is suffering due to a lack of funding. We have a student loan debt crisis in this country. Many corporations are now even refusing to do business in OUR rural communities — all because of the decisions made by politicians. Many Americans are facing a healthcare crisis while working two to three jobs to pay their bills and take care of their families. The rich are getting richer, while poor communities continue to suffer in this country. The only way we can fix these problems is to not be afraid to buck the norms and make bold, radical decisions in OUR voting booths. A permanent fix to these issues involves strong legislation which can be brought forth by a strong political leader.
We must be willing to critically examine OUR political leaders, and OUR political leaders must be willing to hold themselves wholly accountable to the people. After all, this is the driving force of OUR democracy. No one has the “right” to lead Americans. Instead, they are granted an incredible privilege by the people, whom they are elected to serve. The American people must realize, it is OUR right and OUR duty to demand a seat at the political table of power. It is OUR duty to call for our political leaders to create initiatives and programs aimed at improving OUR communities, creating jobs, passing a common-sense gun control legislation, healthcare for all Americans, immigration reform, relieving student loan debt, enabling our children to receive a quality education. If the political leaders can’t guarantee any of these things, then it is OUR duty to call them back home and put someone else in the position who will be able to effect change. We must show up at polls and get people out to vote. We must support one another through fundraising, non-profits, churches and local grassroots efforts that are initiating change within our community. I’m urging OUR leaders at all levels to get in-
volved. It doesn’t matter if you’re a coach or a mentor: America needs your help! You must be willing to spread the message of progress and community. Let’s appeal for an accord on OUR commonalities. If you have anyone that looks up to you as a role model, then this is a position of influence that you must be willing to use in a positive way. If you are in a position of leadership within the faith-based community, we need you. We need your help to move OUR country forward, and those of us who are in positions of corporate leadership must be willing to partner with OUR religious counterparts to help one another. If you are a young leader, don’t wait. It’s time now for all of us to step up to the plate and get involved in moving America forward. Sometimes the way forward means we must make hard decisions, but we can’t run away from those decisions. We owe it to those who came before us, and we owe it to ourselves to vote for progress and to vote for positive change.There is light at the end of OUR tunnel. America has come far, and I know we will go even further in the future. When politicians use their power irresponsibly, then it’s up to us to demand accountability. Cont. aframnews.com
