This article sets out the most relevant questions in determining whether there is a pathway to freedom for Karmelo Anthony.

I watched the Netflix documentary titled, "Mike Wallace is Here." It brought back a lot of memories about the story “60 Minutes” produced and aired on former HealthSouth Corporation CEO Richard Scrushy. Mike Wallace was the correspondent for the Scrushy story.

"August 19 (A Poem for Clarence Norris)" is a powerful 1938 political poem by famed poet Langston Hughes. It was written from the perspective of Mr. Clarence Norris, one of the nine Scottsboro Boys.

The Watkins family enjoys a 97-year relationship with Tennessee State University. On August 28, 2026, the family will further endow the Dr. Levi Watkins, Jr., Institute at TSU. The Institute offers academically gifted high school graduates who attend an accelerated program at TSU the opportunity to become doctors and dentists in seven years on a full academic scholarship.

Whether we agree with the tenets of a major religion, or not, they must never serve as a litmus test for supporting a political candidate. The same holds true with respect to a candidate’s ethnicity and how they spell or pronounce their names. Hating on an American solely because of his/her religious faith, ethnicity, and/or the cultural heritage from which his/her name is derived is plain, old-fashion, bigotry.

Whether it is stopping Donald Trump-controlled federal agencies and judges from robbing Fawn Weaver of her Uncle Nearest bourbon and whiskey company or trying to free Karmelo Anthony from his 35-year prison sentence, or seeking justice in the highly-questionable death of Nolan Wells, the new civil rights era is the same as the old one.

For the reasons specified in this article, I believe in the system of justice that was articulated by Raf Vallone, who played millionaire businessman Constantin Demeris in Sidney Sheldon's bestselling 1973 novel, "The Other Side of Midnight," and its 1977 film adaptation. Demeris said he believed in “a head for an eye and a heart for a tooth. A simple religion, but once people know that I practice it devoutly, they stay away from my eyes, and far away from my teeth.” I agre

I have been advised to “leave white folks’ business alone” and to "stay in your lane." I did not realize that the articles I published dealt with “white folks’ business.” I thought they were issues of significant public interests to all Americans and the other world citizens who read my articles. I cover trending stories and current events on domestic and international topics. I don’t have a lane that is defined by race. I am going to keep doing what I do!

I am the last living victim’s rights advocate in William “Chick” Bush’s 1981 serial murder case. I was on the crime scene of Bush’s execution-style murders of Larry Russell Dominguez and Thomas Adams. I saw the spot where a gravely wounded Tony Holmes wrote the license plate number of Bush’s car in his own blood on the floor of a convenience store before passing out. I saw the gruesome crime scene photos. I saw the bodies. I am determined to see Bush executed for his crimes.

Elbert Bertram "Bert" Haltom, Jr., was a master litigator. We only battled in court once, and he kicked my ass. After the trial, Haltom spent several hours with me reviewing every phase of our litigation battle. He analyzed every offensive play I ran in the courtroom, witness-by-witness, and explained the defensive maneuvers that neutralized them. In the years that followed, I used every lesson Haltom taught me on my way to amassing a record-setting 155 straight courtroom v

My investigation into the nationally profiled 1975 police shooting of an innocent and unarmed Montgomery, Alabama resident named Bernard Whitehurst brought threats of bodily harm to my young children. For months, anonymous callers to my home threatened to throw acid in my children’s faces if I didn’t back off. The two children who were most at risk were Donald Watkins, Jr., and Light Watkins, who were almost 4 and 3, respectively. This article tells that story.

On July 1, 2026, the State University System of Florida Board of Governors confirmed former University of Alabama President Stuart Bell to become the 14th president of the University of Florida. A group of four specially-trained higher education advocates raised serious concerns about Dr. Bell's fitness to lead UF. These concerns arise from Dr. Bell's handling of the reported rape cases of UA students Megan Rondini in 2016 and Emma Mannion in 2016. Unfazed, UF hired Dr. Bell

Mrs. Gladys Laster’s bravery and courage as a named plaintiff in her 1975 landmark civil case systematically dismantled the "whites-only" hiring practices that locked black instructors, administrators, and staff members out of Alabama's historically white community and technical colleges. She single-handedly opened the door for thousands of black educators and staff members to work at historically white junior/community colleges and trade/technical schools in Alabama over th

For research and historical purposes, we are publishing the full Petition for Writ of Certiorari in Donald V. Watkins, Sr. v. United States of America. The Petition was filed on March 3, 2023, and denied on April 17, 2023.

The criminal indictment against Carl Charles was dismissed in a subtle fashion on February 11, 2026. The court order dismissing Charles' case was placed under seal. All documents relating to the dismissal will remain sealed until June 13, 2027. DOJ had no legitimate criminal case against Charles. Judge Burke and federal prosecutors in Montgomery brought this case to harass Carl Charles in the old Alabama COINTELPRO style and tradition. In legal circles, COINTELPRO is call

In August 1974, Carl and Shirley Hessell, a Black married couple, filed a $200,000 racial discrimination lawsuit in federal court against Charles Harris, Jr., and Mead and Charles, Inc., a Montgomery, Alabama real estate company after their application to rent an apartment at 2142 Madison Avenue, in Montgomery was rejected. The apartment was in the “White" part of town. This was my first Fair Housing Act case.

The effort to imprison Donald V. Watkins for his work in the landmark Bernard Whitehurst case was the first of many attempts by Alabama's White power structure to jail him for aggressively advancing and protecting the civil rights of Blacks in Alabama. Every landmark case Watkins handled during his legal career in Alabama was accompanied by a law enforcement effort to kill him, jail him, or harm his children.

Before each trial and between trials, prison guards savagely beat the Scottsboro Boys in the hope of getting a confession from one or more of them. They stripped them naked, made them lie on the floor, and beat them with a thick leather strap. On one occasion, Clarence Norris was beaten so severely he had to be hospitalized for his injuries. The Boys maintained their innocence throughout their ordeal. They took the beatings without breaking.

The AI financial "house of cards" is NOT sustainable. Investors, banks and sovereign wealth funds already know there are serious financial problems with AI companies. As such, they are trimming their positions and betting against it. What is Washington doing about the growing AI-related financial mess? Absolutely nothing. How much American wealth will be wiped out on Wall Street during the predicted AI-related stock market crash? An estimated $30 trillion.
