Community Colleges since the Great Recession. Tuesday, December 6, 2016 930-1100AM
HBCUs,,,,I can't recall if many have setup a pipeline for graduates of even a neighboring community college to attend your campuses with direct admission.
Basic, simple AA degrees should get others in. Also has been an issue with transfer of credits from one institution to another. Interesting.

Preview. Weds, 11/09/2016. ‘Black America Since MLK, And Still I Rise’
"We have to come together within the diaspora to heal our trauma to make the evolutionary jump to the next phase of our developement within the U.S., Caribbean, Africa, and throughout the diaspora. To come together with one loud voice to say , NO MORE". Can we come together as one? CDS.
On Wednesday, November 9, 2016 during my recovery from the
recent Presidential Election while in the BEMA office I had the unique
opportunity of attending the preview screening of ‘Black America Since MLK, And Still I Rise’, a new documentary by
Henry Louis Gates, Jr. co-produced by WETA and Premiers November 15 & 22 at
8 p.p. on your local PBS station. (http://www.pbs.org/video/2365856620/
)
The Black Emergency Managers Association (BEMA) office is
located in one of the areas still containing a majority of black community
residents, and organizations within South East Washington, D.C. Our office location is shared with other black
small businesses from practically each blue and white collar professions in or
community co-located in the Anacostia Arts Center on Good Hope Road, S.E.
Being located in this community, and at the Anacostia Arts
Center has given me the opportunity to experience all aspects of life in our
communities. As a Washingtonian I have seen
the progress and setbacks in our communities from the demonstration marches for
equality and riots of the 60’s following the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther
King as a child. The Vietnam War
protests in the late 60’s and early 70’s.
The introduction of psychotropic drugs, mass usage of heroin, angel
dust, cocaine and crack cocaine that flooded and destroyed multiple generations
within our communities. The mass exodus
of families from the inner city area to the suburbs of Maryland and Virginia
seeking better schools, homes, and job.
Please schedule a time to view the airing of this documentary, or
record and view at a later time with family and friends. Consider how far we have come in the last 50
to 60 years.
Have we evolved and made the evolutional jump to take us to the next
phase of our development socially, politically, and financially?
Have we taken 5-steps forward only to simply to take 7-steps back.
Other questions will arise as you view this documentary. For we have to plan, and prepare individually,
for our families, and our communities.
Something we may have lost.
Think of BEMA, Black Lives Matter, the Black Panther Party
and why each has a unique goal of bringing our communities together to address
an old unresolved issue, current issues, and issues in the future.
Peace be unto each of you, and your families.
Sincerely,
Charles D. Sharp

Situation Report Main Points
Please click here to view OCHA Haiti Situation Report No. 20 as of 08 November 2016, as well as two infographics: Humanitarian Snapshot and Humanitarian Funding Update.
Situation Report Main Points
- Of
the 806,000 affected people who are at the “extreme level” of food
insecurity, 426,000 people (or 53 per cent) have so far received food
assistance.
- Continued
security incidents targeting convoys of humanitarian supplies hinder the
much needed delivery of assistance.
- During
the reporting period, heavy rains in the departments of Grand’Anse,
Nord-Est, and Nord led to the death of 10 people (Three women, four men,
and three children). Three others are wounded and one is missing.
- With
crop loss reaching a staggering 80 to 100 per cent in parts of the
predominantly rural areas, people’s food insecurity risks worsening
in the coming months if farming activities are not urgently
restored by mid-November.
