Nationwide โ€” Dr. @velma_trayham , nationally recognized executive strategist, entrepreneur, and President & CEO of the Black Chamber of Arizona, has been selected to serve as a national judge for the Community Futures Challenge, a national initiative launched by PMI U.S. and administered in partnership with Arizona State University. The Challenge will award five $50,000 grants, totaling $250,000, to eligible nonprofit organizations advancing practical, community-driven solutions across the United States. Eligible applicants include U.S.-based 501(c)(3) organizations working in areas such as workforce development, economic mobility, public infrastructure, civic technology, entrepreneurship, and other initiatives that materially strengthen communities. She is using her appointment to help broaden awareness of the opportunity among nonprofit leaders and community-based organizations that may not traditionally have access to national corporate funding networks. Applications are open through Nov. 30, 2026. Nonprofits can learn more and apply at america250cfc.org. For Trayham, the appointment represents both a national leadership milestone and an opportunity to help elevate community-based organizations developing solutions to some of the countryโ€™s most persistent economic and social challenges. โ€œThere are extraordinary organizations doing transformative work in communities across America, but too often they lack the capital, visibility and relationships needed to take that work to the next level,โ€ she said. โ€œI want nonprofit leaders โ€” particularly those closest to the challenges they are solving - to know that this opportunity exists and to apply.โ€ #nonprofits

The Jackson County, MS District Attorney announced Monday that a grand jury unanimously returned a NO TRUE BILL in the death of 18-year-old Nolan Wells. No one will be charged. Nolan went missing after a July 4th boat trip to Horn Island and was found two days later. Both autopsies list his cause and manner of death as undetermined. The DA noted that Mississippi has no statute of limitations on homicide, so the case could be revisited if new evidence comes forward. Our prayers remain with Nolanโ€™s family. ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ Drop your thoughts below. ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿพ #NolanWells #JusticeForNolan #BlackWallSt #Mississippi #News

It all started in Galveston, Texas. On June 19, 1865, the news of freedom finally reached the shores of the island โ€” two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed. The newly freed men and women of Galveston didnโ€™t wait. They didnโ€™t hesitate. They burst into celebration โ€” filling the streets with prayer, song, and community feasts that shook the ground beneath their free feet. That joy was radical. That joy was resistance. That joy was the beginning of something that would never be silenced. Today, we honor those first Jubilees. We honor the resilience of those who came before us โ€” who celebrated freedom before the world was ready to acknowledge it. We carry that spirit forward. Always. Happy Juneteenth. โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ–ค #Juneteenth #GalvestonHistory #FreedomDay #BlackWallSt #Emancipation JubileeDay June19 BlackHistory FreedomIsNotFree HonorThePast

We are the originators of EVERYTHING .. [even] #MemorialDay [PLEASE READ] In 1865, on May 1st, Charleston, South Carolina, held a significant ceremony that is believed to be one of the earliest Memorial Day observances. This event, organized by newly freed African Americans, involved exhuming the remains of Union soldiers buried in a former racetrack and giving them a proper burial. The ceremony included a parade, singing, and the planting of flowers on the graves.
