Justice for All: Civil Rights Group Celebrates Freedom for Chicago's Englewood 5:
A Cook County Judge vacated the convictions of men, known as the Englewood 5, who were falsely arrested and harshly prosecuted for crimes they didn't commit last Wednesday (11.16.11).

Brother Lyle Grandison Muhammad, Clinton Green, Omar Muhammad, Keith Reed, Richard Muhammad, Edwin Avent, Anthony McCarthy, Daren Muhammad, David Brown, Dr. Tyrone Taborn: You dudes are all media giants in your own rights, and I am proud to know you all.

Or, are Baltimoreans O'Malley'd-out?
It is still early – in a sense. However, it’s not too early to discuss the pertinent issues. For instance, is Dr. Andres Alonso the best person to run the Baltimore City Public School system?

TGR: Guest Editorial by Raynard Jackson: Un-"Common" Thoughts:
These conservatives are now making the argument, that since Common was invited to the White House, President and Ms. Obama, must agree with his lyrics. Anyone with a brain knows this is idiotic, but welcome to the world of right wing media.
The Obama’s have a right to invite whomever they choose to the White House.
You can’t take a single or few events in a person’s life and let that be the definitive narrative of his life. For example, Michael Vick should not have his whole life defined by his run it with the law if he continues to exemplify the level of maturity he has in the past year. We all make mistakes.
