The New Black View
‘ Publisher and my father, Wilbert “Bill” Tatum, before me. We’ve been reporting the news of the day from a Black perspective since 1909 –, the first time in the 125 years of this award it has been given to a Black woman publisher – We are proud to provide no paywall journalism for the Black community we serve, the largest Black and Brown community in the country.‘ Publisher and my father, Wilbert “Bill” Tatum, before me.
This nation was built on lies about power, manifest destiny, and the superiority of some over others. Yet, as Howard Zinn wrote, “But I suppose the most revolutionary act one can engage in is to tell the truth.” Truth can dismantle the lies at the foundation of our nation and create a new America. Truth can free us and those around us to live without being shackled to the energy lying requires of us — lying, being caught, and making up more lies to cover our tracks.
When I think of the dying, the mourning and grieving and all who need a word of hope to get them through these difficult days, I’m drawn to the truth more than a comforting lie. The truth is death is terribly hard and we are living in times so difficult, they take our breath away. The truth is, fear and doubt are totally understandable responses to times of crises. But for as long as we have truth, it can light our way to freedom.
