DALLAS ISD SUPERINTENDENT MIKE MILESANNOUNCES NEXT BIG STEPS

FOR DESTINATION 2020

The next phase of Dallas ISD’s transformative Destination 2020 effort will include the launch of personalized learning, a focus on social-emo-tional learning, expanded pre-K opportunities and a goal to open as many as 35 additional schools of choice by 2020.

Superintendent Mike Miles rolled out the ambitious blueprint during a community-wide gathering of more than 400 people on June 17 atW.H. Adamson High School. Set to core beliefs of academic achievement, high expectations and excellence, Miles’ presentation served as achallenge to create positive change for the district’s nearly 160,000 students. “We can’t just take the same things and do them better. We haveto think differently,” Miles said in his presentation. “…We have to do different things well.”

Among those different actions is a goal of opening an additional 35 schools of choice by 2020. Miles said the success of students currentlyenrolled in the schools of the Yvonne A. Ewell Townview Center as well as Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and VisualArts are clear evidence that Dallas ISD must provide similar opportunities to other children. “We have other kids who need more choices,” hesaid.

Miles also addressed Personalized Learning, a new initiative to provide individual students an education that fits their needs and abilities. By2020, he said, Personalized Learning will be the primary mode of instruction in at least 15 schools. “Let’s make sure our kids get what theyneed, when they need it while maintaining high standards,” Miles told the crowd.

A third pillar of Miles’ presentation was social-emotional learning, a style of education that helps students understand and manage emo-tions, set and achieve positive goals establish positive relationships and make responsible decisions. Dallas ISD plans to increase its offerings inthat realm to help middle school and high school students develop the mindset needed to maximize their success. “We have to teach studentshow to persevere, how to be their best,” Miles said. “We’re not trying to replace other organizations (and role models), but we have to do ourpart.”

The initial moments of Miles’ presentation focused on the success of the “heavy lifts,” or major efforts achieved since the launch ofDestination 2020. Notable steps include the development of a new evaluation system for principals, the approval of the Teacher ExcellenceInitiative evaluation and compensation effort, and expanded pre-kindergarten.

In the end, Miles said the transformative mindset growing in Dallas ISD has already paid dividends. He pointed to the improvement of thedistrict’s Human Capital Management department in filling teacher vacancies as of June 15 in the last three years as proof that change is tak-ing place.

The district has improved from hiring 265 teachers by that date in 2012 to 664 teachers in 2013. By 2014, the district had filled 1,971 teachervacancies filled by June 15.

They thought differently and tried a host of strategies that had not been tried before, Miles said. “They turned that paradigm on its head.”

THE NATION'S MAYORS GATHER IN DALLAS:The United States Conference of Mayors 82nd

Annual Meeting: Friday, June 20 - Monday, June 23

(AP) - Less than three years after pulling American forces out of Iraq, President Barack Obamais weighing a range of short-term military options, including airstrikes, to quell an al-Qaidainspired insurgency that has captured two Iraqi cities and threatened to press toward Baghdad.

"We do have a stake in making sure that these jihadists are not getting a permanentfoothold," Obama said Thursday in the Oval Office.

However, officials firmly ruled out putting American troops back on the ground in Iraq, whichhas faced resurgent violence since the U.S. military withdrew in late 2011. A sharp burst of vio-lence this week led to the evacuation Thursday of Americans from a major air base in northernIraq where the U.S. had been training security forces.

Obama, in his first comments on the deteriorating situation, said it was clear Iraq neededadditional assistance from the U.S. and international community given the lightning gains bythe militant group Islamic State of Iraq and Levant. Republican lawmakers pinned some of the

blame for the escalating violence on Obama's reluctance to re-engage in a conflict he long opposed.

For more than a year, the Iraqi government has been pleadingwith the U.S. for additional help to combat the insurgency, whichhas been fueled by the civil war in neighboring Syria. NorthernIraq has become a way station for insurgents who routinely trav-el between the two countries and are spreading the Syrian war'sviolence.

NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION(USA) WAS HELD IN DALLAS

W ecome now to a psalm that isaddressed to Solomon as the writer.This psalm is referred to as a royalpsalm. Psalm 72 looks in anticipationto the time when Jesus Christ willreign in righteousness, justice andpeace during the Millennium. InIsaiah 11:1-2, 4, Isaiah describes thecoming of Jesus Christ as He rules inthe Millennium, for those verses

read, "And there shall come forth arod out of the stem of Jesse, and aBranch shall grow out of His roots:And the spirit of the LORD shall restupon Him, the spirit of wisdom andunderstanding, the spirit of counseland might, the spirit of knowledgeand of the fear of the LORD; But withrighteousness shall He judge thepoor, and reprove with equity for themeek of the earth: and He shall smitethe earth: with the rod of His mouth,and with the breath of His lips shallHe slay the wicked."

The Messianic reign of Christ willbe characterized by harmony amongthe animals (Isaiah 11:6-7) and evenin creation (Romans 8:18-22). TheMillennium kingdom will usher in atime of peace and justice becauseJesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, willreign. In verses 1-4, the psalmist

begins this psalm with a prayer, ask-ing that God would grant a king whowould judge righteously; and in judg-ing righteously, peace would prevail.The king's reign will be characterizedas follows: "He shall judge the poorof the people, he shall save the chil-dren of the needy, and shall break inpieces the oppressor" (v. 4).

As the king reigns in righteous-ness, his rule will cause the righteousto prosper (vv. 5-7). Verse 7 states,"In his days shall the righteous flour-ish; and abundance of peace so longas the moon endureth." Thepsalmist declared that the dominionof his kingdom will be extensive andrecognized by all kings (vv. 8-11).Verse 8 begins with his dominionbeing from "sea to sea, and from theriver unto the ends of the earth", andverse 11 acknowledges that "Yea, all

kings shall fall down before him: allnations shall serve him."

His dominion would be recog-nized because He is a defender of thepoor and needy (vv. 12-14).Consolation is found as "He shallspare the poor and needy, and shallsave the souls of the needy" (v. 13).In recognition of his righteous reign,gifts will be given to him (vv. 15-17)even the gold of Sheba shall be givento him and prayer shall be made con-tinually. Ultimately, God's namewill be extolled (vv. 18-20). As thefinal verses state, "Blessed be theLORD God, the God of Israel, whoonly doeth wondrous things. Andblessed be his glorious name forever: and let the whole earth befilled with His glory; Amen, andAmen" (vv. 19-20).

May God Bless!

“In Fiscal Year 2013, the City pro-cured $16.5 billion worth of goodsand services and only $439 millionwent to Minority and Women-owned business enterprises – amere 2.7 percent. That’s simplyunacceptable.”

-Michael Nitzky, director of com-munications for New York CityComptroller Scott Stringer

Most discussions of economicinequality focus on the need formore equity in employment andincome. There is no doubt thatexpanding job opportunities andproviding living wages for workers incommunities of color are essentialto closing the great divide betweenthe vastly affluent and the rest of us.But even more troubling is the hugewealth gap, invariably linked to glar-ing disparities in homeownershipand entrepreneurship that continueto break down along color and gen-der lines.

The National Urban League’s

2014 State of Black America EqualityIndex™ found that Black householdshave just $6 in wealth for every$100 in wealth of White households– or a median wealth of $6,314 vs.$110,500. The Obama administra-tion, leaders across the nation andglobe and a number of progressivemayors across the country – includ-ing New York City Mayor Bill deBlasio – have identified the need toclose that gap. A key part of thesolution is increasing the numberand worth of government contractsavailable to minority and women-owned business enterprises(M/WBE). As Mayor de Blasio islearning, while not an easy task, hehas a substantial opportunity to fix abig problem and put forth a scalablemodel for how New York City canand should engage with M/WBE.

Mayor de Blasio took office inJanuary determined to “leave noNew Yorker behind.” But a recentarticle by freelance journalist JohnSurico concludes that “the contractsbetween the city’s bureaucracy andits businesses do not reflect a com-mitment to diversity.” Surico adds,“For thousands of companies inNew York City, obtaining a city con-tract is one of the most importantfinancial benefits of civil govern-ment. Last year alone, roughly40,500 transactions between thepublic and private sectors translated

into this $16.5 billion in revenue forvendors.” While M/WBE firms com-prised 7 percent of New York City’svendors and were awarded 23 per-cent of the city’s sub-and-primecontracts in 2013, they onlyreceived $439 million, or 2.7 per-cent, of total contract dollars.

Despite the existence of the fed-eral Minority Business DevelopmentAgency (MBDA) and dedicatedminority business developmentoffices in New York and most majorcities, this disparity is echoedthroughout the country. Reasonsfor this include cumbersome andcomplicated contracting rules andthe often prohibitively high cost ofnavigating the procurementprocess. Unfortunately, too manyminority and women-owned busi-nesses also still find it difficult tosecure critical bank loans. Everyoneagrees that small and minority-owned businesses are essential toAmerica’s economic recovery, butnot everyone has stepped up to givethem the support they need to suc-ceed.

That is why the National UrbanLeague has made entrepreneurshipsupport, tax credits and small busi-ness financing a key part of “JobsRebuild America,” our $100 millionpartnership across the public, pri-vate and nonprofit sectors toimprove outcomes for job seekers,

vulnerable youth and entrepreneursin hard-pressed urban communities.We were also pleased that last year,the Congressional Black CaucusFoundation invested $5 million infive Black-owned banks across thecountry both to support the dwin-dling number of Black banks and tostrengthen the ability of these finan-cial institutions to make loans toneighborhood businesses. We alsoapplaud measures taken by theObama administration, includingthe current effort by the MBDA tobring more minority businesses intohigh growth industries such as greentechnology and clean energy.

Mayor de Blasio has pledged toincrease New York City’s usage ofminority businesses from 3 percentto 10 percent. He shares our under-standing of the importance ofminority and women-owned busi-nesses to revitalizing strugglingurban communities, closing thewealth gap and improving theAmerican economy. But none of uscan do this alone and good inten-tions are not enough. Washington,local governments, big banks andmajor corporations across cities andthe nation must do more to removebarriers and erect stronger incen-tives to unleash the entrepreneurialpotential of minority and women-owned businesses.

By Congresswoman EddieBernice Johnson

Students in America today arefacing a challenge unlike any previ-ous generation before them -record levels of debt. Students aregraduating with higher levels ofdebt that is greatly crippling theirability to get a foothold in theAmerican Economy. PresidentObama has recently taken an exec-utive action to assist students whoborrow money to finance theirhigher education. I am in full sup-port of the President's bold andforward thinking steps aimed at

decreasing student debt. .The President's "Pay as you

Earn" initiative will cap federal stu-dent loan payments to ten-percentof their monthly income. Studentswith private loans can refinancetheir loans at today's lower interestrates. This action will allow gradu-ates the financial breathing roomto start investing in their futures,without the disproportionate bur-den of student loan repaymentshanging over their heads.

Each year, 20 million youngAmericans enroll in college. Of thatnumber, 12 million borrow to meetthe obligations of their educationalexpenses. Given the nation's sloweconomic growth, many of thesegraduates are (and will be) unableto secure employment within thesix-month grace period. In 2013,the unemployment rate for collegegraduates between the ages of 22

and 27 was 5.6 percent accordingto Bloomberg.

More concerning is the fact thatmany of our nation's youth aredenied access to higher education.According to studies by theNational Student ClearinghouseResearch Center, college enroll-ment in America has declined by12.8%, partially due to rising col-lege costs. They simply cannotafford it and are frightened by themassive amounts of debt that theywill have to assume.

Under the executive order, stu-dent borrowers that make regularloan repayments may have theirremaining balances forgiven after20 years of regular payments.Teachers, nurses, military person-nel and other public servants willbe eligible to have their remainingdebt forgiven after only ten yearsof regular loan repayments.

As a society, we must invest inour students and in their ability topursue higher education. The glob-al ranking of American students,particularly in the fields of science,technology, engineering and mathis on a steady decline. We canregain the position of prominencewe once enjoyed, and that ournation desperately needs, if weinvest in our students. Burdeningthem with massive debt is atremendous disservice to themand to our country.

Higher education has alwaysbeen viewed as society's greatequalizer. The president's mostrecent executive order and theprogressive measure beforeCongress will ensure that our col-leges and universities will continueto be the bastions of equality thatthe founders of this great nationintended them to be.

Dear Editor,Warmer temperatures are a wel-

come change after a long, cold win-ter—but as the mercury rises, it’s cru-cial to protect our animal companionsby never leaving them in parked vehi-

cles. Every year, PETA receives dozensof reports of animals suffering anddying in hot, parked cars. Cruelty-to-animals charges are routinely filed insuch cases.

It only takes minutes for a parkedcar to cook an animal alive: On a warm

day, even with the windows cracked,the temperature inside a parked carcan reach more than 160 degrees.Parking in the shade and/or leavingwater in the vehicle won’t help.Symptoms of heatstroke include rest-lessness, excessive thirst, heavy panti-ng, lethargy, lack of appetite and coor-dination, dark tongue, and vomiting.Dogs can succumb to heatstroke in just15 minutes, resulting in brain damageor death.

Please, when it’s even a little warm

outside, never leave any living being ina parked car, even for “just a minute.” Ifyou see a dog left in a car, have theowner paged or call 911 immediately—the dog’s life depends on it. Visitwww.PETA.org to learn more.

The first detailed study of therelationship between diversity andthe bottom line in the Hollywoodentertainment industry has foundthat although diversity pays – liter-ally –people of color and womenare still woefully underrepresentedthroughout film and television.

The study titled, “2014Hollywood Diversity Report:Making Sense of the Disconnect,”was conducted by the Ralph J.Bunch Center for African-AmericanStudies at UCLA. It looked at 172theatrical films released in 2011and 1,061 television shows thataired during the 2011-12 season. Itlooked at race and gender and keyproduction roles, including castdiversity, the show’s creator, thewriter, the director, awards anddomestic and international boxoffice.

Frequent moviegoers representjust 10 percent of the population,but purchase half of all movie tick-ets, the report stated.

“It is important to note herethat minorities are overrepresent-ed among the ranks of frequent

moviegoers, those who contributemost to overall box office.” it said.“In 2011, minorities accounted for44.1 percent of frequent moviego-ers, a figure that exceeded their36.3 percent share of the overallU.S. population.”

But you wouldn’t know it by theroles people of color play in theindustry.

“Historically, there has been adeath of gender, racial, and ethnicdiversity in film and television –both in front of and behind thecamera,” the report stated. “Thisreality has meant limited access toemployment for women andminorities and to a truncating ofthe domain of media images avail-able for circulation in contempo-rary society…Media images con-tribute greatly to how we thinkabout ourselves in relation to oth-ers.

“When marginalized groups insociety are absent from stories anation tells about itself, or whenmedia images are rooted primarilyin stereotype, inequity is normal-ized and is more likely to be rein-forced over time through our prej-udices and practices.”

The report found that althoughpeople of color represent 36.3 per-cent of the population, in film:

Of the 172 films examined for2011, only 10.5 percent of the leadroles were played by people ofcolor and most of them were insuch Black-targeted movies as“Jumping the Broom” and TylerPerry’s “Madea’s Big HappyFamily.” Women, who make up51.2 percent of the population,

were cast as leads in only 25.6 per-cent of the movies.

Over half of the films (51.2 per-cent) featured casts in whichminorities were 10 percent or less.

People of color directed 12.2percent of the films studies, mostdirected at a targeted audience.Women directed 4.1 percent of thefilms.

Minorities wrote 7.6 percent ofthe films, mostly ethnic-nichefilms; women wrote 14.1 percent.

In television:People of color were in only 5.1

percent of the lead rolesWomen accounted for 51.5 per-

cent of the lead roles in comediesand dramas, matching their shareof the population.

People of color accounted for15.4 percent of the broadcast real-ity shows.

Of show creators, only one wasa person of color – who created“Grey’s Anatomy,” “PrivatePractice” and “Scandal,” all on ABC.

The report proves that diversitypays.

“..The 25 films that were from21 percent to 30 percent minorityposted a median global box officeof $160.1 million –a figure consid-erably higher than the medians forall other diversity levels,” thereport found. “By contrast, the 88films that fell into the 10 percentminority or less interval did notfare as well in terms of global boxoffice, posting a median figure of$68.5 million.”

The report added, “If we consid-er return on investment, which fac-tors a film’s budget into the analy-

sis, we see a similar pattern.” Infact, the return on more diversefilms was “significantly greater,”the report found.

Yet, Hollywood continues totravel down the same old tiredroad.

“The 2014 Hollywood DiversityReport has documented an appar-ent disconnect between the indus-try’s professed focus on the bot-tom line and actual staffing prac-tices in film, broadcast television,and cable,” the report stated.“That is, while films and televisionshows with casts that reflect thenation’s racial and ethnic diversitywere more likely to post high boxoffice figures or ratings during thestudy period, minorities andwomen were nonetheless woefullyunderrepresented among thecorps of directors, show creators,writers, and lead actors that ani-mates industry productions.”

The report concluded, “This dis-connect does not bode well for thefuture of the Hollywood industry.Women already constitute slightlymore than half of the U.S. popula-tion, and more than a third of thepopulation is currently minorityand the population continues todiversity at a dizzying rate.

“The bottom line for theHollywood industry – theatricalfilm, broadcast television, andcable –would be advanced byimplementing forward-lookingproject development and staffingpractices that are in sync withthese changes.”

Aries (March 21-April 19)It's been a year since you had such astrong focus on home, family and yourdomestic life. This personal shift will man-ifest in several ways. Some will focus onhome decorating and gardening becauseyou'll enjoy making your digs more beau-tiful for the summer. Being the artisan ofthe zodiac, you will dream up fun projectsto build or create something at home.And your attention will turn outdoors todecks and landscaping. However, otherswill want to cocoon at home for the nextfew weeks. ("I'm hiding.") One certainty isthat all Aries natives will have moments ofcontemplation and memories of theiryouth - their green and salad days.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)Get ready for a busy month because thisSun energizes you! Suddenly, you've gotthings to do, places to go and people tosee! Your schedule will be jam-packedwith short trips, errands and conversa-tions with everyone. The daily pace ofyour life will accelerate. Zoom, zoon!Many of you will read, write and studymore than usual as well. Expect increasedinvolvement with siblings and relatives.Some of you will tie up loose ends regard-ing property and possessions with sib-lings. This is a good week to buy mywardrobe goodies. It's not so much theclothes that make the man - it's that youdon't see many naked people in politics.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)As the Sun shifts signs this week, you'llnotice the coming month will emphasizemoney, cash flow, earnings and your job.Not only will you think more about yourassets, you'll be pondering your self-worth. You might also wonder if whatyou are doing is meaningful or worth-while. This is the time to take stock.Nobody wants to be in a dead-end jobunless it fulfills some requirements onanother level. In addition to contemplat-ing major purchases, many of you will askyourself what it is you really want in life?Which begs the question - what reallymatters? It's a curious that in our culture,what costs little is valued less. Duh?

Cancer (June 21-July 22)This week the Sun returns to your sign forthe first time in a year, to recharge yourbatteries for months to come. This is awonderful opportunity for you! It will alsoattract people and favourable circum-stances to you. Quite literally, this is yourhour! Naturally, you want to make themost of this. Think big and expect a mira-cle. The next few weeks are a great timeto schmooze with friends, especially artis-tic, creative people. This will give you anice relief from the pandemonium, ten-sion and chaos at home, (which won't lastforever because nothing does). Courage.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)Once a year for a month, the Sun "hides"in your chart. It's waiting in the wingsready to make its entrance centre stagewhen your birthday arrives. But untilthen, it behooves you to work alone orbehind the scenes and keep a low profile.Yoga, meditation and quiet activities willappeal because you are also more intro-spective and given to self scrutiny. ("Isthat broccoli in my teeth?" "Does thisroom make me look fat?") Nevertheless,your communications with others will bestrong (as they have been for some time).With Venus at the top of your chart, rela-tions with bosses and authority figuresare warm and smooth, which is whysome of you will begin an affair.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)Expect a popular month ahead, dearVirgo. Plan on spending time with friendsand groups. Accept all invitations andmake overtures to get together with peo-ple because your interactions with otherswill actually benefit you. These benefitscould be direct or perhaps indirect. Forexample, you might seek advice fromothers or their opinion about your futureideas. If so, their feedback will be helpful.Plus travel for pleasure will appeal andthis too, could be a wonderful reason toreconnect with friends and acquaintanc-es. Although you're working hard to earnmoney, you're blowing it just as fast. Ohwell, money is only useful if you spend it.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)This week, the Sun moves to the top ofyour chart where it will be like a spotlightshining down on you. But do take note:This "lighting" is flattering! That's why

bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs willthink so highly of you. In fact, you mightbe approached to take on increasedresponsibilities because of this. (You looklike a winner.) Just accept because youwill please everyone, without doing any-thing special. (Plus, with Mars in your signnow, you are forthright, direct and power-ful anyhow. Interaction with authority fig-ures, especially parents, are likely in themonth ahead. This is the perfect time toexamine your life as a whole to see ifyou're going in the direction you want.This is a strong month for you!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)Travel appeals to you in the comingmonth because you want a change ofscenery! You want adventure and thebuzz of something different. You alsowant to be stimulated by learning some-thing new, which means this will be agreat time to sign up for a course or getfurther education. You will also beenthused to talk to people from othercountries and different cultures. The mainthing is -- do something different! Varyyour routine. Instead of dinner at home -have a picnic by the beach. With Venusopposite your sign right now, this is agood time to get a better understandingof relationships, especially the needs ofyour partner. It's also a good time to workout conflicts with loved ones.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)For the next month, the Sun is in a part ofyour chart that increases your passionabout life. (Yes, it also increases your sexdrive.) This amped verve for life will makeyou want to be a better person, which iswhy you will work out and jog, row, cycleor whatever to buff your bod. (You likethe outdoors, whereas for me - outdoorsis where the car is.) You will also focus onyour psychological health and want toexperience life not just learn about it.Fling out your arms like Evita and cry "Iwant to live!" Perhaps this was promptedby meeting an ex-partner recently? Plusyour competitive spirit makes you wantto win in sports contests with others(including sex).

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)Ah ha! For the first time in a year, thisweek the Sun moves opposite your signto stay for a month. Since the Sun is yoursource of energy, it is now as far awayfrom you as it gets all year. Connect thedots: You will need more sleep. However,this polarized position of the Sun will giveyou a chance to learn more about howyou handle your closest relationships.("Must I?") You will see more clearly whatwants and needs of others are, and alsohow they fill (or do not) your wants andneeds. Nevertheless, it's a given that youmust be as good for your partner as he orshe is for you to have a successful rela-tionship. Fair Venus will help things bymaking you playful, flirtatious and eagerfor fun and pleasure. Romance will flour-ish! Oo la la!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)In the next four weeks, you will roll upyour sleeves and get busy because youwant to be efficient, productive and effec-tive! You want your actions to count. Andto do this, you need to have an organizedhome and an organized work place as thebottom line before you begin to refineyour techniques. Therefore, physical effi-ciency will be your byword. Naturally,while you're on this roll, you'll also bekeen to improve your health. Decoratingprojects at home will appeal because youmight also want to entertain. Yet at oddswith this, you have a strong desire to trav-el and see new places and talk to newfaces. Busy you!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)With the promise of vacations, fun andsweet romance - who is surprises that theshift of the Sun this week ushers in amonth of even more fun and pleasure?(Mom always liked you best.) You're mak-ing out like a bandit! Sports and playfultimes with children will appeal. Just beyourself without fear or apology. Enjoythis carefree freedom. Venus sweetensyour tongue promoting relations witheveryone and helping those who sell,write, edit, market, teach or act. Yes,there's money in your words! One area ofpossible conflict concerns your need todefend your interests with inheritances,shared property and such. Pleasure mightnot be happiness but don't knock it.

"A PSALM OF ANTICIPATION OF GOD'S KINGDOM" PSALM 72:1-20

Rev. Johnny C. Smith, Pastor – MountMoriah Missionary Baptist Church

By Colleen White

Have you ever met someonewho appears to be a loving andcaring person all the time?

Whenever the opportunity pres-ents itself, that same personalways finds a way to showChrist's love in some manner. Ifso, this person is doing what theBible suggests that we who arebelievers in Christ are to do. Inthe book of Psalm it says,"Declare His glory among thenations, His wonders among allpeople" (Psalm 96:3).

When we are proclaiming thepower of Christ, we are tellingthe world, our community, ourfriends, and our family aboutGod's goodness. The ability anddesire to express a Christ-likeheart to people in a sincere man-ner, shows God's love in actionas well. How powerful it is to beable to impact someone's life inthat manner.

All of us who are believers inChrist are called to follow in Hisways. Are you willing to showGod's love to someone you don'tknow well? Can you be thehands of God to someone else?If so, then you are doing whatGod has called us to do. Are youready to make a difference insomeone's life this week? I knowI am. Amen? Amen.

The Black Academy of Arts andLetters (TBAAL) recently received amajor contribution from Ron Kirk tosupport TBAAL's extensive ArchiveCollection, a new communityengagement partnership with theUniversity of North Texas (UNT)Libraries. Kirk, the former DallasMayor and United StatesAmbassador, now Senior of Counselat the law firm Gibson Dunn said, "Iam pleased to support the outstand-ing work of Curtis King and TBAAL topromote and support the arts in ourcommunity. This exciting partner-ship with the University of NorthTexas will allow these two greatinstitutions to preserve TBAAL's richarchival history. It is my sincere hopethat others will join me in support-ing this initiative to preserve thisimportant Dallas and American cul-tural arts treasure."

The contribution will be used toassist in supporting a full timeTBAAL Archivist to work with UNTLibrary's Special Collections staff inorder to further develop, maintainand educate the public aboutTBAAL's archive collection.

Earlier last Season, Dr. Joe Rice, aTexas based scholar and writer, visit-ed TBAAL and had the opportunityto tour the institution's archives.Impressed with what he saw, Dr.Rice asked Curtis King, TBAAL'sfounder and president, if he couldcontact several major universities,on our behalf, to see if there was aninterest in a joint partnership to helppreserve and digitize TBAAL'sarchival collection which will enablethe world to view and to have accessfor research. King said, "I wasimpressed with the idea. In a matterof weeks, I was having a flurry oftelephone conversations and meet-

ing-after-meeting to discuss the for-mation of a partnership with amajor American University, UNT.Receiving a significant financialdonation from Ron is affirmationand the icing-on-the-cake that rep-resents the beginning of our moveforward."

When King and members ofTBAAL's Board of Directors met withDr. Martin Halbert, UNT's Dean ofLibraries, Dr. Halbert said, "This part-nership signifies another great stepin the university's commitment togenuine collaborations. We areoverwhelmed to be working withTBAAL and we believe this relation-ship is going to be mutually benefi-cial in many ways to the Universityand TBAAL."

"This is an exciting time in theinstitution's history. As we forgeahead with this great collaborationwith UNT to preserve TBAAL'sHistory, we hope that future gener-ations will one day glance back andsay, 'look what they did" saidBarbara Steele, TBAAL Board Chair.

TBAAL attracts over 400,000patrons and produces and presentsmore than one hundred (100) pro-grams annually.

O Divine Master,Grant that I may not so much seek

To be consoled, as to console;To be understood, as to understand;

To be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive;It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;

And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.Amen.
