HBCU tracksters were nearly shutout as the U.S. Track & Field Championships moved through most semifinal rounds and contested a few finals Friday in Eugene, Oregon.

The top three finishers in the event finals make the U. S. team and will represent the country at the World championships back in Eugene in three weeks.

The United States has never been a nation that followed God but things may begin to take a even steeper dive.

America's love of money and capitolism corrupted it's religion.  If the Black Church continues to follow the path that America is taking, it will get uglier.

Why Howard University chose to stay in the MEAC
https://hbcugameday.com/2022/06/23/why-howard-university-chose-to-stay-in-the-meac/

From reading this, I am thinking it might be a year-to-year referendum as far as several schools staying in the MEAC. I really don't like how it sounds, but hey, at least the conference stays alive for another year.

The conference members should be honest with each other about their needs.  If they are looking to find a new home, say so.

June 1993: Howard basketball coach Sanya Tyler gets the first monetary award given by a jury in a Title IX case: $2.4 million (later reduced to $1.1 million). The 14-year coach had sued the university for sex discrimination under Title IX in a D.C. superior court, saying she was paid much less than her men’s counterpart.

Title IX revolutionized female athletics but advocates say it's been a constant fight

Fifty years ago, Title IX banned discrimination on the basis of sex in federally funded education programs. Advocates say it's been a fight to make sure girls and women get the opportunities promised.

Interview with the new Track coach

Allen Johnson, world champion hurdler and new A&T track and field coach, on the program's success and how he'll continue to build it

Eddie Wooten
Allen Johnson won an Olympic gold medal in the 110-meter hurdles at the Atlanta Olympics.

Best in the world.

He won gold medals in four outdoor and three indoor world championship meets.

Best in the world.

But now he's taking over successful N.C. A&T men's and women's teams and becoming a Division I head coach, the Aggies' director of track and field programs, for the first time.

"There's a part of me that's nervous as hell," he says.

Wait: One of track's all-time greats is ... nervous?

"Just because it's something that I haven't done," he says. "But I'm excited.

"You've got to respect the task. When I got to the Olympic final or a world championship final, I was nervous then, too. Typically when I get nervous, I get more focused."

……muchas gracias, JBROB, for posting this 1848 notice advertising the upcoming sale of human beings. When you first read this ad, you might think it’s from a Dave Chapelle skit or something. But then the STARK reality of what the Juneteenth Holiday is really all about comes into focus.

So what we must focus on is the “liberation/freedom” of our ancestors from being held as freaking FARM ANIMALS!! And we should not be distracted by the IDIOTIC distractions of stupid Trump sycophants on this board.

I think we forget what really took place. The trama that we have have in our DNA is unreal.
