社評   0628    非裔社區商業領袖聚会

      非裔社區商業領袖聚会


週二上午,相識多年的布朗先生攜同兩位非裔社區商業領袖來訪, 就如何加強社區繁榮及有關事項交換意見 。


布朗先生是我們在非裔社區中交往非常密切之好友。 近二十年來, 他一直籌辦每年一度之紀念金恩博士市內大遊行, 每年元月中旬在市區各大街道大家張燈結彩, 各式花車及遊行隊伍, 遊走在大街小巷,敲鑼打鼓, 非常熱鬧 。美南新闻每年也以少林武術隊為前導,以花車共同紀念和慶祝金恩博士之豐功偉蹟。


我們必須承認,也更要感謝早年為我們奮戰付出生命和鮮血及生命的非裔領袖, 如果不是當年之努力, 可能歷史終會改寫。


多年來 ,由我主持的美南新聞傳媒集團、 國際貿易中心、 國際區到甫自成立之環球第一銀行 ,我們對非裔、 拉丁裔皆非常尊重,多年來已經是我們的弟兄及合作伙伴。


布朗兄弟早年是運動塲上之選手, 如今經營諸多事業並卓有所成 ,他也是社区重要之領袖, 我們都還在爭取全民之公平正義繼續抗爭努力。




Gathering With African Community Leaders

 

 Sylvester Brown, Executive Director of the Houston Black Heritage Society, and I have known each other for many years. Mr. Brown visited our office on Tuesday morning to discuss and exchange ideas on how we can strengthen community prosperity and other related matters. 

 

Mr. Brown has been organizing the annual Dr. Martin Luther King parade in the City of Houston for many years. In the middle of January every year they have many parade floats with music and bands that have march through many of the major streets of the city. Our company has joined the parade in the past and made the Shaolin Martial Arts Team as the lead group to commemorate Dr.King’s birthday. 

 

We must also recognize and remember and thank the African leaders who gave their lives and blood to fight in the civil rights cause in the early years. If it had not been for their efforts, history might surely have been rewritten in the end. 

 

Over the past several decades, I have presided over Southern News Group, the International Trade Center, the International District and most recently, the newly established Global One Bank. We have such great respect for our African and Latino brothers and look forward to becoming partners. 

 

Today our community is still facing many challenges. Together we are united to continue the fight for our rights and justice
