"It’s hard to believe a basketball player of Loismary Justice’s caliber had little interest in the sport when she was first introduced to it. Now she’s a star player on her team – and among the best in the Sacramento area."

Sacramento State is in discussions to hire former Pro-Bowl QB Mike Vick as its new head coach, per sources. Sacramento State plans to move up to FBS, is building a new stadium and has over $50 million in NIL. Sacramento State would build an experienced coaching staff around Vick that is inline with the new frontier of college football.

So powerful for Reggie to share these stories. Makes me sick when politicians say we have never been a racist country. It’s a cruel lie that disrespects Black Americans who lived it and still live it. @WordInBlack @keithboykin @Johncelestand @nhannahjones @losangelista

Mixing systemic racism, low wages, unemployment and resulting poverty is a troubling recipe for long-term – in many cases generational – food insecurity, writes 2024 Ethnic Media Collaborative participant Genoa Barrow for @SacObserver.
