Katrina Revisited

We had 4 years ago on this date Hurricane Katrina which made its second landfall as a Category 3 storm on the morning of Monday, August 29 in southeast Louisiana. It caused severe destruction along the Gulf coast from central Florida to Texas, much of it due to the storm surge. The most severe loss of life and property damage occurred in New Orleans, Louisiana - Don't forget it, I haven't !!

Cincinnati Change Development Statement

Development in Cincinnati should be for the people in the city who are in the place they are in the city. This is not to say that we should not have new people come into the city, but...what about those in place. In these times lets make the change for those who live here NOW!!!

Cincinnati Change is committed to development in line with The United Nations Global Compact.

The United Nations Global Compact is a strategic policy initiative for businesses that are committed to aligning their operations and strategies with ten universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption

The Black Man on the rise

For years people have wondered about where the black man is headed, and why has it taken so long for him to get there. Today you will find out how we got there and what we need to do to get out. A call has been made all over the city for all men to stand, stand for what you may wonder STAND FOR FREEDOM. Child support, prisons, DMV and other institutions have kept the black family in slavery and the black man the 20 centry will bring us out of bondage
