National Newspaper Publishers Association President & CEO Dr. Benjamin F. Chavis Jr., and Rev. Dr. William J. Barber, President and Senior Lecturer at Repairers of the Breach and co-chair of the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival, examined voting rights and suppression, gun violence, and other concerns currently plaguing America, particularly people of color.

During the more than 35-minute discussion, broadcast live over the social media channels of the Black Press of America, the civil rights titans also discussed the upcoming Poor People’s Campaign March on Washington and broke down the current state of Black America.

“This is not a battlefield we can retire from; we’ve got to fight until it’s our time to be over,” Dr. Barber declared.

Low-wage workers, unions, and faith leaders are expected to join Dr. Barber and the Poor People’s Campaign for an assembly and march on Saturday, June 18, in Washington, D.C.

Dr. Barber said the assembly would begin at 9:30 a.m. EST at Pennsylvania and Third Avenue.

“We need everyone to challenge this,” Dr. Barber declared. “Poor people and those impacted will be the ones on the stage, and this will happen in a location between Congress and the White House.”

As the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival mobilizes for that massive gathering, Dr. Barber and others have called on President Joe Biden to meet with poor and low-wealth individuals, religious leaders, and economists “to put a face on the 140 million Americans in this country who are poor or low-income while also calling for higher wages and union rights.”

“There are five interlocking injustices we have yet to address in this nation fully,” Dr. Barber asserted.

“They include systemic racism, systemic poverty, where 60.9 percent of Black people are poor and, or low-wealth; 53 percent of our people make less than a living wage of $15 per hour, and 250,000 people die every year from poverty,” he remarked.

Dr. Barber reported that, during the pandemic, poor people died at a rate of 2 to 5 times higher than others.

“It’s not connected to a lack of vaccinations. It’s connected to a lack of services,” Dr. Barber insisted.

“The pandemic didn’t discriminate, but we did. The Black Press was the first to report this was airborne,” he said.

Further, Dr. Barber said that ecological devastation, the denial of health care, and the war economy have contributed to poverty in America.

“We are spending 54 cents on the dollar every day on the military,” he stated.

“If we cut the military budget in half, we’d still have more money in our military than Iran, Iraq, China, and North Korea combined. Also, we have the false moral narrative of religious nationalism and white supremacy.

“We have said that on June 18, it’s time for a declaration of all people. We won’t be silent anymore. We’re calling for a mass poor people, low-wage workers assembly, and a moral march on Washington and the polls.

“We’re doing this to put a face on all these numbers, put an agenda, and build power and shift this moral narrative because poor people represent 32 percent of the electorate in this country and 45 percent in battleground states.”

NFL: Week Two Recap | Jalen Hurts did not fold; Caleb Williams exits game with injury

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts found Darius Cooper with nine seconds left for the game winning touchdown as his team beat the Tennessee Titans 24-20 in Nashville. Hurts finished the day 26/37 for 264 yards. He threw for two touchdowns and two interceptions. Prior to the final drive, the Eagles ran 25 plays for 45 […]

Prior to the final drive, the Eagles ran 25 plays for 45 yards. During the final drive Hurts went 6-8 with 61 passing yards and the touchdown. Titans defensive tackle — and team captain — Jeffery Simmons said this week that the way to defend Jalen Hurts is to make him “play quarterback.”

Hurts said to Simmons after today’s game: “You started that sh**. I had to finish it.”

Running back Saquon Barkley suffered a stinger in the first half but he ultimately finished the game. He had four carries and nine yards and one catch for eleven yards. He will get an MRI for his injury, but admitted to Cameron Wolfe of the NFL Network he was fine.

Caleb Williams leaves game against Vikings with apparent lower-body injury

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams was helped off the field with a right leg injury with 7:42 remaining in the fourth quarter. Williams was down, writhing in pain after scrambling to his left. After departing the injury tent, Williams raised his right fist, acknowledging the crowd while expressing his frustration. Testing will commence on Monday to find out more details about his injury.

“We’ll know tomorrow,” Johnson admitted regarding Williams’ injury. “He’s in good spirits. He’s a team player.”

Williams finished the day with 138 passing yards and one interception.

“I’m actually happy it’s nothing with the knee — that was my first inclination,” Johnson said. “But, a hamstring could be pretty damaging as well. So, we’ll see. We’ll see how bad it is tomorrow and we’ll go from there.”

Bryce Young once again dominated the Falcons

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young is 5-1 against the Atlanta Falcons and is undefeated at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Today, Young threw for 287 yards and three touchdowns as he led the Panthers to a 34-3 dismembering of the Atlanta Falcons. Georgia Tech alumnus Darren Waller caught two touchdowns and linebacker Devin Lloyd returned one of his two interceptions for a touchdown.

Cooper Rush started his second straight game for the Falcons and it did not go well. The partisan crowd voiced their displeasure after Rush completed 10/17 passes for 86 yards and two interceptions. Jack Strand entered the game for Rush prompting cheers from the Falcons fans. The rookie threw a pick-six on his first career pass attempt. Strand was the first QB to accomplish that feat since Sam Darnold in 2018 and is the first Falcons player to do that since Brett Favre in 1991. Strand finished the day with 59 passing yards and 16 rushing yards.

According to reports, quarterback Michael Penix, Jr. is expected to make his season debut this Thursday at the Green Bay Packers. His return should help the Falcons. They are the first team since the 2008 Rams to not run any plays in the red zone after the first two games to open a season.

The bright spots for the Falcons today were the Spelman College Jaguarettes performing with the Falcons cheerleaders and Florida A&M’s marching band, The Marching 100, also performed during halftime!

Jayden Daniels gets carted off after apparent arm injury

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels appeared to injure his left elbow on the final play of the first half in his game against the Dallas Cowboys. During the play, Daniels got stepped on, braced himself for the fall, and his elbow bent the wrong way. Daniels draped a towel over his head as he exited the field on the cart.

He was later ruled out.

Daniels suffered a dislocated elbow to the same arm during week nine of last season against the Washington Commanders, which led to him being shut down for the remainder of the season.
