HOUSTON COUNTY:    Arrested by Dothan Police Department on March 26, 2018, Kenneth C. Glasgow has had the cloud hanging over him on the charge of Capital Murder.

Capital Murder is a death penalty offense. If a Houston County jury found evidence to convict, Kenneth C. Glasgow would have faced the possibility of Life In Prison with no chance of ever being released or death by lethal injection.

The Capital Murder charges have been pending since the arrest of Kenneth C. Glasgow         ( Kenny Glasgow ) since the March 26, 2018 arrest.

A preliminary hearing was held on April 10, 2018 before the Honorable Houston County District Court Judge Benjamin Lewis. Glasgow was represented by Attorney Derek Yarbrough of Motley, Motely and Yarbrough.

The evidence in the preliminary hearing did not establish enough probable cause against Glasgow to really hold him over in jail. However even if a District Judge dismisses the cases in a preliminary hearing the District Attorney still can carry the case to a Grand Jury.

Glasgow was released on a secured bond after the preliminary hearing with A-Advantage Bonding.

With the Capital Murder hanging over his head since the arrest March 26, 2018, a Houston County Grand Jury "no billed", throw out, the arrest on February 18,2021.

That means the case of Capital Murder no longer exists against Kenny Glasgow.

EDUCATION

 While Jewish and African American communities have a tumultuous shared history when it comes to the pursuit of civil rights, there is a chapter that is often overlooked. In the 1930s when Jewish academics from Germany and Austria were dismissed from their teaching positions, many came to the United States looking for jobs. Due to the Depression, xenophobia and rising anti-Semitism, many found it difficult to find work, but more than 50 found positions at HBCUs in the segregated South.

Originally established to educate freed slaves to read and write, the first of the Historically Black Colleges and Universities was Cheyney University in Pennsylvania, established in 1837. By the time Jewish professors arrived, the number of HBCUs had grown to 78. At a time when both Jews and African Americans were persecuted, Jewish professors in the Black colleges found the environment comfortable and accepting, often creating special programs to provide opportunities to engage Blacks and whites in meaningful conversation, often for the first time.

In the years that followed, the interests of Jewish and African American communities increasingly diverged, but this once-shared experience of discrimination and interracial cooperation remains a key part of the Civil Rights Movement.

If you sleep better at night and when you’re away from home because you have a security system, you should know it was invented by a Black woman. “Marie Van Brittan Brown felt uneasy in her neighborhood and the police were unreliable. So, she took matters in her own hands and patented the modern home security system,” timeline.com wrote. “Over 50 years later, the technology is installed in millions of homes and offices worldwide.”

Black History Month Facts from TOPS

 

Black History Month is very important due to the fact we as a people have so many that have done so much.  We are the creator of big things such as the 3-signal traffic light, the mailbox as we know it now was first invented and called "Street Letter Box" and the pacemaker just to name a few.  We have created items for everyday living, extended living and post living.  Yet we still are discriminated against.  We are still considered second class citizens although we have invented first class things.  Why is this?  

As we are reminded daily of the discrimination of blacks and the continued struggles we endure. We still have a chance to glorify our accomplishments and hopefully our prior and current success will help us to understand the question of race in today's society.

 

FACT for Today:

Martin Luther King Jr.

No single African American in history is perhaps as famous as Martin Luther King Jr., otherwise known as MLK. There is a federal holiday on the third Monday each January celebrated in his honor, and whole sections of textbooks are devoted to his civil rights activism in the 1950s and 1960s. A Baptist minister in the city of Montgomery by trade and a prominent civil rights activist, Martin Luther King made his mark by preaching nonviolent means of protesting the segregation of whites and blacks in the United States. MLK’s assassination at the hands of a white man in 1968 sparked riots and mourning across the world.

Black History Month

 

“Black History Month: The celebration of Black History Month began as “Negro History Week,” which was created in 1926 by Carter G. Woodson, a noted African American historian, scholar, educator and publisher. It became a month-long celebration in 1976. The month of February was chosen to coincide with the birthdays of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln.” https://www.history.com/topics/black-history/black-history-facts

Welcome to Black History Month everyone.  Another February has come and we have the opportunity to acknowledge our Black Americans that have done great things in history and continue to do great things.  Thank you to ALL our Black achievers.

However, many of other races ask why must we have a Black History Month or Black Entertainment Television?  Looking at my television in my home my cable line-up has approximately 583 channels on which ONE is dedicated to Black art, Black musicians, Black documentaries and Black achievements.  As I look at my calendar located in my home there are 12 months in which ONE is dedicated to Blacks and our History.  Is there something wrong with this picture? 🙋
