Carter Godwin Woodson, known as the Father of Black History, was a pioneering historian, author, journalist, and educator who dedicated his life to documenting and promoting African American history.
By Milton Kirby | Decatur, GA | February 4, 2025
Carter Godwin Woodson, known as the “Father of Black History,” was a pioneering historian, author, journalist, and educator who dedicated his life to documenting and promoting African American history. Born on December 19, 1875, in New Canton, Virginia, Woodson’s work laid the foundation for studying and recognizing Black history in the United States.
A Scholar and Educator
Woodson’s academic career was characterized by tenacity and excellence. He attended Lincoln University in Pennsylvania and Berea College in Kentucky before earning his doctorate from Harvard University, becoming the second African American to do so after W.E.B. Du Bois. He later served as the Dean of the School of Arts and Sciences at Howard University, where he emphasized the value of Black scholarship. Woodson taught in both public and collegiate settings, trained researchers and staff members, and authored numerous books and articles on Black history. From 1919 to 1920, he also served as the Dean of the School of Liberal Arts and Head of the Graduate Faculty at Howard University.

Founding the Study of Black History
In 1915, Woodson founded the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH) to promote research and education on Black heritage. He also established the Associated Publishers, a company dedicated to publishing works by and about African Americans. From his home in Washington, D.C.’s Shaw neighborhood, he led ASALH’s initiatives and wrote extensively on Black history, including managing The Journal of Negro History (now The Journal of African American History).
Woodson’s efforts to establish African American history as an essential part of the larger American narrative extended beyond his organizations and publications. His work inspired educators nationwide to incorporate Black history into their curricula, and many sought his advice and resources for classroom use.
The Birth of Black History Month
In 1926, Woodson launched Negro History Week to highlight the contributions of Black Americans. He selected the second week of February to coincide with the birthdays of Frederick Douglass (February 14) and Abraham Lincoln (February 12). Over time, this observance gained nationwide recognition and expanded into Black History Month, which was officially designated by the U.S. government in 1976. President Gerald Ford urged Americans to “seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of Black Americans.”
A Lasting Legacy
Woodson spent the last 28 years of his life in his Washington, D.C., home, where he continued his research and advocacy until his passing on April 3, 1950, at the age of 74. Recognizing his immense contributions, President Barack Obama designated the Carter G. Woodson Home as a National Historic Site in 2016. Located at 1538 Ninth Street NW, this site is preserved by the National Park Service as a testament to his legacy.
The Importance of the Carter G. Woodson Home
Woodson’s historic home functioned as the headquarters for ASALH and played a crucial role in advancing Black history education. From this location, he:
Researched and wrote groundbreaking works on African American history
Managed The Journal of Negro History
Planned the first Negro History Week, which later evolved into Black History Month
Led efforts to promote Black scholarship and education
The Ongoing Celebration of Black History
Today, Black History Month is celebrated in the United States and Canada (February), the United Kingdom (October), and other countries. Each year, ASALH selects a theme for the month, and the 2025 theme, “African Americans and Labor,” highlights Black workers’ contributions to labor movements and industries. Schools, institutions, and organizations continue to honor Woodson’s vision by integrating Black history into their curricula and programs year-round.
Recognizing Woodson’s Impact
Woodson’s dedication to preserving and teaching Black history ensured that African Americans’ achievements would no longer be overlooked. His legacy lives on through the work of ASALH, the continued observance of Black History Month, and the recognition of African American contributions across multiple sectors. Thanks to his efforts, the study of Black history has become an essential part of American education and culture.
As we celebrate Black History Month, we honor Carter G. Woodson’s vision and commitment to historical truth, education, and cultural preservation. His pioneering work remains a cornerstone of African American history and a testament to the power of knowledge in shaping a more inclusive society.
Mentoring and Training
Woodson was a mentor to many up-and-coming historians and scholars, including Alrutheus A. Taylor, Charles H. Wesley, Luther Porter Jackson, Lorenzo Johnston Greene, Rayford W. Logan, Lawrence D. Reddick, and John Hope Franklin. The association’s headquarters—Woodson’s home—served as a training center where these scholars refined their research skills and, in turn, mentored succeeding generations of African American historians. Woodson and ASALH also cultivated important relationships with Black churches, colleges, universities, schools, and community centers nationwide.
Atlanta celebrates opening of The Beacon at Cooper Street, marking 500 rapid housing units delivered to address homelessness through innovative modular construction and community partnerships.
By Milton Kirby | Atlanta, GA | April 17, 2026
Atlanta leaders, community members, and housing advocates gathered this week in the Mechanicsville neighborhood to celebrate a major milestone in the city’s fight against homelessness: the ribbon cutting of The Beacon at Cooper Street, the final development needed to reach the city’s goal of 500 rapid housing units.
Mayor Andre Dickens called the moment “promises made and promises kept,” emphasizing that the project represents more than just construction.
“This work is not just about numbers,” Dickens said. “It represents 500 opportunities, 500 lives, and 500 chances at stability and dignity.”

The Beacon at Cooper Street includes two multi-story buildings with 100 modular studio units, each designed to provide safe, supportive housing for individuals experiencing homelessness. The development also includes on-site offices for case management, mental health services, and other support systems aimed at helping residents rebuild their lives.
A Citywide Effort
The project is part of Atlanta’s broader Rapid Housing Initiative, a strategy launched by the Dickens administration to address homelessness by quickly converting underutilized city-owned land into permanent supportive housing.
From its earliest days, the initiative relied on partnerships across government, nonprofit organizations, developers, and the private sector.
“This is what it looks like when we listen, when we engage, and when we build together,” Dickens said during the ceremony.
City officials highlighted earlier developments in the initiative, including The Melody, a container-based housing community that gained international recognition, and Waterworks Village, a modular apartment complex delivered in record time.
Community Support in Mechanicsville
Leaders also praised the Mechanicsville community for embracing the project, noting that neighborhood support played a key role in its success.
“There’s a lot of ‘not in my backyard’ across the country,” Dickens said. “But this community said yes—and that made all the difference.”
District 4 Councilmember Jason Dozier described the development as both personal and transformative, pointing to the broader impact stable housing can have on families and neighborhoods.
“Housing creates the foundation for safety, health, and economic stability,” Dozier said.
More Than Housing
Officials emphasized that The Beacon is not just a housing project, but part of a larger ecosystem of care.
Thirty units are dedicated to individuals who need ongoing medical and mental health support through partnerships with local healthcare providers. The development also includes a “housing navigator” program to help individuals transition from hospitals and shelters into stable living environments.

Research cited during the event shows that rapid housing programs are effective, with 70 to 90 percent of participants remaining housed after one year.
Looking Ahead
While the ribbon cutting marked a significant achievement, leaders were clear that the work is far from finished.
Speakers emphasized that while the milestone is significant, much work remains to address homelessness across the city.
With the 500-unit goal now achieved, city officials signaled plans to expand the model and continue building housing solutions across Atlanta and the broader region.
As Dickens put it, “Love ought to look like something—and today, you can see what that looks like.”

A life taken too soon leaves a community grieving, questioning motive, seeking justice, and confronting the painful truth that no loss is ever just another headline.
By Milton Kirby | Charlotte, NC | April 15, 2026
There are moments when a life is taken so suddenly, so violently, that the world seems to tilt. A man is gone, and the questions begin to circle like smoke: Was it for property? Was it for money? Was it sheer meanness? Did the perpetrator believe he would get away with it—or did it even matter to him at all?
A face that once belonged to someone loved, someone known, someone real, now risks becoming one more among the faceless victims of senseless violence. His memory will remain vivid to those who cared for him, but to the wider world he becomes another name, another headline, another loss absorbed into the background noise of tragedy.
It isn’t that people don’t care. It’s that they don’t feel the closeness. When pain doesn’t touch our own doorstep, we often treat it as someone else’s burden. But violence is never someone else’s problem. It is a wound to the whole community, whether we acknowledge it or not.
No article can stop the next person determined to commit harm. But sometimes words reach the ones who are still reachable—the ones whose hearts are open enough to be changed.
When details are scarce, the mind fills the silence with questions: What if? Could anything have been done? Should something have been done differently? These questions haunt the people left behind, because the truth is simple and brutal: no amount of money, property, or pride is worth a human life.
So what do we do with the pain? We keep living. We keep hoping. We try—slowly, painfully—to place the hurt behind us. The hurt and images soften with time, but they never disappear. The face never leaves us.
And then comes the hardest question of all: Could I have done something if I had been there? The honest answer is often the only one we have—I don’t know.
Technology has made policing more efficient. Investigators can find perpetrators faster than ever before. We can only hope that in this case, justice follows truth, and truth follows evidence.
When the full story emerges, one family may feel a measure of relief, even as the pain deepens. Another family may face shock, disappointment, or disbelief. Violence ripples outward, touching more lives than the one it took.
And for those responsible, the question lingers: If they could do it all over again, would they? Would they choose differently—not because they were caught, but because hindsight reveals the weight of what they destroyed?
These are not easy questions. But they are necessary ones. Because the value of a life demands nothing less.

Last week’s The Shadowball Significa Question of the Week: Who was the first African American pitcher to toss a no-hitter in Major League baseball? Sounds like a straightforward question but due to the peculiar history of Negro League baseball it is not so straight. Turns out there are three answers that I find acceptable: very acceptable. Let’s take a look at them in order.
On May 12, 1955, New York Giant right hander Sam Jones became the first African American to toss a Major League no hitter when he held the Pittsburgh Pirates hitless in a 4-0 victory. Shadowball favorite Will Clark nailed this one just half a day after it was posted.
Sam Jones had a solid big-league career. In addition to the no hitter, Jones had several other distinctions. Him & Quincey Trouppe formed the first African American battery in the American League. Jones was the runner-up to Early Wynn for the 1959 Cy Young award and tops in the NL. Sam Jones career strikeouts per 9 innings (7.5) was higher than all Major League pitchers with as many or more innings pitched than he had when he pitched his last game on October 3, 1964 (i.e. more than the Big Train, Rapid Robert Feller, Rube Waddell, Dazzy Vance and everyone else in MLB history).
Shadowball reader Matt Garvey offered some info that led me to an answer I had not considered but should have. He mentioned that Bill Gatewood had several no hitters. That got me to take a look at Gatewood. Negro League historian Phil S. Dixon offers that Gatewood may have authored as many as twenty no hitters at various levels of competition throughout his career. Phil has found documentation on six of them. One of them occurred on June 6, 1921, and, since December 16, 2020,when MLB designated 7 specific Negro Leagues (including the Negro National League in 1921) as Major. So, the first Major League no hitter by an African American was thrown by big Bill Gatewood in 1921, the second season of “Major” Negro League baseball.
I have one more possibly correct answer in mind – Charles Leander “Bumpus” Jones who, in his major league debut, took the ball for the Cincinnati Reds against the Pittsburgh Pirates 0n October 15, 1892. Ol’ Bumpus went on to be the only pitcher to toss a big league no hitter in first game in the majors. It also was the last game pitched from a pitcher’s box, instead of a mound, 50 feet way from home. It also, if local newspaper sources (as well as early family census records) are accurate he was the first Major League pitcher of African descent. He was referred to as mulatto in the census and colored in local newspaper articles.
If you are keeping score here is a list of select Major League baseball no hitters pitched by African Americans:
#1 10/15/1892 Bumpus Jones National League
#2 O6/06/1921 Bill Gatewood Negro National League
#3-21 numerous pitchers, including Satchel Paige, Hilton Smith, Leon Day, and a combined no no by Jose Mendez and Bullet Joe Rogan.
#22 05/12/1955 Sam Jones National League
Ol’ Sam Jones went to his grave thinking he was the first.

Artificial intelligence has moved into daily life with unusual speed. For many people, the shift happened almost quietly. One year, AI sounded like a technical subject reserved for engineers, laboratories, and large technology firms. The next year, it appeared in search engines, workplace software, school assignments, customer service systems, banking alerts, medical platforms, shopping tools, social media feeds, and the everyday devices people use from morning until night. This change matters because AI has become part of the environment ordinary people live inside. It shapes routines, choices, expectations, and relationships in ways that feel practical, immediate, and increasingly difficult to ignore.
Living with AI now means more than using a new tool. It means adapting to a new layer of digital influence that reaches into work, family, and community life all at once. That is why the subject deserves public attention in plain language. People do not need a technical credential to understand that AI is changing how tasks are completed, how children learn, how information spreads, how institutions respond, and how trust moves through society. The technology matters because its effects are human before they are technical. They show up in pressure, convenience, confusion, speed, dependence, and shifting expectations about what a normal day looks like.
Work is one of the clearest places where this change can be seen. AI now helps draft emails, summarize meetings, analyze documents, generate reports, screen applications, support customer interactions, and automate routine administrative tasks. For many workers, that support feels useful. It can reduce repetitive labor and free time for more thoughtful responsibilities. Yet AI also changes the terms of work itself. When software can perform part of a task in seconds, employers may begin to expect faster output, tighter turnaround, and broader productivity from each employee. This creates a new pressure inside ordinary jobs. Workers are asked to keep pace with systems that operate at machine speed while still bringing human judgment, accuracy, and accountability to the final result.
That pressure reaches across many kinds of employment. Office workers may be expected to manage more communication and produce more written material in less time. Teachers may face students who rely on AI-generated responses while classrooms still require genuine understanding. Small business owners may feel compelled to adopt AI tools simply to remain competitive in scheduling, marketing, customer service, or content production. Freelancers may discover that some of the work they once performed manually is now partially automated, shifting their value toward refinement, oversight, and strategy. The central issue is clear. AI changes work by altering expectations before many people have fully adjusted to the new conditions.
Family life is changing too, though in a different way. Inside the home, AI often arrives through convenience. A parent may use it to organize a schedule, draft a message, compare options, plan a meal, or gather information quickly. A student may use it to summarize reading, solve equations, explain ideas, or generate writing. A teenager may encounter AI through social media filters, recommendation systems, voice tools, or creative applications that make digital life feel more interactive and responsive. These uses can feel harmless or even helpful, and in many cases they are. Still, the deeper issue lies in the habits being formed beneath the convenience.
Families now face a world where polished answers arrive instantly, often before a child has struggled long enough to think deeply. That changes the rhythm of learning. Human development still depends on concentration, reflection, patience, memory, and the slow strengthening of judgment. AI can support those processes when guided carefully. It can also weaken them when it becomes a substitute for effort. A child still needs to read, wrestle with ideas, organize thought, make mistakes, and grow through correction. Families who live well with AI will need more than rules about devices. They will need a culture of conversation around truth, effort, wisdom, and the difference between assistance and dependence.
Communication inside families is also affected. AI-generated content can create a world where words are easier to produce than to mean. Messages may sound polished, affectionate, persuasive, or authoritative with very little human thought behind them. This creates a subtle challenge for relationships. Language has always carried emotional weight because it reflected effort, presence, and intention. When machines can imitate tone and fluency with ease, families may need to value sincerity more consciously. The question becomes larger than whether AI can help write something. The question is whether people remain connected to what they truly mean.
Community life is changing as well. AI influences the information people see, the stories that spread, the recommendations that shape local behavior, and the digital atmosphere communities live inside. News feeds, search platforms, neighborhood groups, online forums, and church or civic communications are increasingly shaped by systems that rank, summarize, suggest, and amplify content. This affects public understanding because visibility shapes perception. When a system decides what appears first, what sounds most credible, or what receives more circulation, it quietly influences what a community notices and how that community interprets events.
This becomes especially important in times of uncertainty, grief, conflict, or public concern. AI can help distribute useful information quickly. It can also accelerate confusion when false, exaggerated, or emotionally manipulative material is produced at scale and shared without care. Communities once relied heavily on visual evidence, familiar phrasing, or polished presentation as signals of trust. Those habits now require greater caution. AI makes it easier to generate images, text, and voice that feel persuasive on first contact. Living with AI therefore requires stronger local habits of discernment. Communities need people who pause, verify, compare sources, and bring steadiness into public conversation rather than reacting to every polished piece of digital material that appears urgent.
The effect on institutions is also part of community life. Schools, hospitals, banks, local governments, insurers, and public service systems are increasingly using AI to process requests, flag patterns, route cases, estimate risk, and improve efficiency. These systems can help organizations move faster and manage complexity. Yet ordinary people live inside the consequences of those systems. A parent trying to resolve a school issue, a patient trying to understand care options, a worker navigating a benefits question, or a resident dealing with a public service problem wants more than speed. They want fairness, clarity, and a real path to human review when something goes wrong. Community trust depends on whether institutions use AI in ways that preserve dignity and legibility for the people they serve.
Living with AI also changes the emotional atmosphere of daily life. Digital systems now respond faster, speak more smoothly, and generate more content than ever before. People can feel surrounded by a constant stream of answers, prompts, recommendations, and alerts. That density creates convenience, though it can also create fatigue. Human beings still need quiet, pause, and room to think without immediate computational assistance. Work, family, and community all depend on that slower space where reflection forms. A society that moves entirely at machine pace risks losing the habits that hold human life together.
This is why AI deserves a serious public conversation centered on ordinary people. The real question is larger than whether a tool is impressive. The real question is how people will live with a technology that changes the flow of work, the formation of children, the quality of communication, and the trustworthiness of public life. That conversation belongs in homes, schools, churches, businesses, and local communities because the effects of AI already live there.
Living well with AI will require discernment, steadiness, and a stronger public ethic. People will need to ask better questions about the systems they use. Families will need to protect the habits that build character and judgment. Employers will need to remember that efficiency carries responsibility. Communities will need to value truth more carefully in a world where polished content is easier to produce than ever before. AI is now part of ordinary life. The task ahead is to make sure ordinary life remains deeply human while this technology continues to expand.
“Smart devices now track heart rate, sleep, and glucose, turning everyday wear into powerful tools for health awareness, prevention, and community wellness.”
You can track your heart rate, sleep, even glucose levels just by strapping on a device. Are these next-generation right for you?
By Jeanne Dorin McDowell | April 12, 2026
Wearable health monitors have come a long way since Fitbits and Apple Watches introduced the idea of digitally counting steps and calories burned.
Today’s wearables include a dizzying array of devices—armbands, smart rings, smart eyeglasses, chest-strap monitors, clothing embedded with sensors—to track physical activity, heart rate, blood pressure, temperature, blood oxygen, glucose levels, stress, sleep patterns and movement.
And while it can be fun to track your biometrics on your own, wearables are having a big impact on doctor-patient relationships by giving health care providers real-time access to critical health data. Some can record and transmit electrocardiogram (ECG) readings; others can detect falls and epileptic seizures before they happen.
“I ask my patients to self-monitor to tell me what their heart rates are,” says Niraj Varma, M.D., a cardiac electrophysiologist and professor of medicine at the Cleveland Clinic who routinely recommends wearable monitors for patients diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (A-fib), a common heart disorder that can disrupt blood flow and lead to blood clots and an increased risk of stroke.
Nearly 1 in 3 Americans use a wearable device, such as a smartwatch or band, to track their health and fitness. But not all remote monitors are created equal.
Consumer-grade wearables, such as smart-watches and rings, which you can buy online or at retail stores, may be fairly accurate but are not FDA-approved, which means they have not met stringent regulatory requirements.
Medical-grade wearables, such as most continuous glucose monitors, which measure sugar levels, usually require a doctor’s prescription and are FDA-approved. Health information is transmitted via an app or a receiver and can be shared remotely with a physician, so it can be interpreted and discussed with the patient.
While the accuracy of consumer devices varies across brands and the metrics that are being measured, they are not considered as accurate as medical-grade wearables.
But even if the accuracy falls short, one of the intrinsic values of consumer wearables is that they can signal that something is wrong.
“If you are tracking your activity and motion as well as heart rate, and suddenly there’s a change—not from yesterday to today but a definite trend of something happening—the wearable can be an alert system that tells you something is going on,” says Albert Titus, a professor of biomedical engineering at the University at Buffalo.
Here’s a rundown of widely used wearable tech devices and what doctors who work with them have to say.
SMARTWATCHES AND FITNESS TRACKERS
BEST FOR: Monitoring basic health metrics and exercise
If your idea of a fitness tracker dates back 15 years or so, you might want to see what the new models can do. Through a technique called photoplethysmography, which detects heart rate by measuring changes in the volume of blood flowing near the surface of the skin, sensors can measure heart rate and even stress levels.
They can also flag an irregular heartbeat, says Erica Schorr, associate professor in the School of Nursing at the University of Minnesota and a member of the American Heart Association’s Center for Healthy Technology and Innovation, Digital Science Working Group. That said, watches and trackers are not a replacement for regular checkups; they can’t diagnose a heart attack or other serious medical condition.
SMART RINGS
BEST FOR: Monitoring sleep
Smart rings emit light at specific wavelengths into the skin, then measure how much of that light is reflected back to the ring. Since blood absorbs more light than other tissue does, the ring can monitor the rhythmic ebbs and flows in blood volume to track your heart rate and sleep cycles. These devices typically connect to a phone app and may require a monthly subscription.
Smart rings may compile heart rate data more accurately than smartwatches and may produce more accurate measurements in people with darker skin tones than wrist-worn devices do. (Melanin, a dark pigment in the skin, can absorb some of the light emitted by optical sensors and distort heart rate measurements. But there is less melanin on the inside of the fingers than on the wrist.)
While sleep monitoring is a selling point of these devices, not everyone is sold on the value of this function. “It’s challenging for many wearables to accurately assess deep and REM sleep,” says Cheri Mah, M.D., a sleep physician and adjunct lecturer with the Stanford Sleep Medicine Center. “People can get fixated on their daily sleep outcomes and on perfecting those numbers.” Instead, she recommends looking at your results in terms of trends rather than nightly performance.
SMART GLASSES AND SMART CLOTHING
BEST FOR: Serious fitness enthusiasts
Smart clothing refers to garments—usually shirts and leggings—with embedded sensors that monitor vital signs and track physical performance. Like other health wearables, smart clothing monitors heart rate, temperature, heart rhythm and physical movements; the data is transmitted via Bluetooth to an app in real time. Some smart clothes send alerts when the wearer experiences an irregularity or a health problem.
Even eyeglasses can come with health trackers nowadays. Smart eyewear is equipped with sensors and Bluetooth connectivity embedded in the frames, and some can monitor heart rate and calories burned. But, like wrist-based monitors, they’re not as accurate as some other products.
CHEST-STRAP HEART MONITORS
BEST FOR: Serious athletes, people with heart conditions While the heart rate monitors in your smartwatch or ring can provide useful data about your general fitness and exercise levels, a wearable that wraps around your chest to measure heart rate is considered the gold standard. Chest-strap monitors use electrocardiography to measure electrical signals from the heart, which makes them more precise than the sensors used in wrist- or finger-based devices. In April, researchers at the University of Missouri College of Engineering announced the development of a starfish-shaped wearable powered by Al technology that can detect heart problems with 90 percent accuracy.
Some of these devices connect with a cable or wirelessly to a device that you can tch to your clothing or carry in a pock-while many newer models use wireless nections to send data to your phone or another device.
If you have a heart condition, your doctor might prescribe a medical-grade heart monitor that records the heart’s rhythm, such as a Holter, which your physician reviews after return the device. These monitors are even more accurate than the retail versions.
CONTINOUS GLUCOSE MONITORS
BEST FOR: People with diabetes or prediabetes, biohackers
Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), which are worn as a patch and use a sensor that’s inserted under the skin with a needle, continuously record glucose levels, sending an alert when they rise or fall too far.
“People who benefit most from CGMs are those with diabetes who require insulin therapy, because these monitors have been associated with reducing the risk of severe hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar,” one of the most feared complications of insulin use, says Aoife M. Egan, an endocrinologist at the Mayo Clinic.
The American Diabetes Association advocates for CGM accessibility for people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes who are required to take insulin. But CGMs have also become popular with people who just want to know more about the impact of food, stress and activity on their glucose levels. The emergence of several kinds of nonprescription CGMs have empowered the biohacking-curious to measure the sugar in their bloodstream, although over-the-counter CGMs give less-detailed feedback than prescription models.
An effective glucose monitor needs to pierce the skin, researchers say. Last year the FDA alerted consumers that using smartwatches or smart rings that claim to measure blood glucose levels without piercing the skin “can lead to errors in diabetes management.”
Is a Wearable Monitor Right for You?
Wearables continue to evolve: Scientists are working on a smart ring that can help detect hand tremors, a Parkinson’s disease symptom; wearables that will be able to detect neurodegenerative diseases, like multiple sclerosis and ALS, in the earliest stages; and even a wrist-worn device that tracks activity patterns, which may catch early signs of Alzheimer’s disease. But while wearables have myriad benefits, some people find that continuous monitoring of their health creates anxiety. Fluctuations in heart rhythms or blood sugar levels are normal and often insignificant, but if your device sends up an alarm, it can provoke unneeded stress. “Telling someone they’re experiencing a heart arrhythmia if they don’t feel it can create more anxiety,” says Lindsey Rosman, assistant professor of medicine in the division of cardiology at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine. Rosman says we need more studies both on the adverse effects of wearables and on who would actually benefit from these devices. —J.M.

The room was loud. The streets were quiet. And somewhere between the two, the truth of this election began to take shape.
When The Truth Seekers Journal arrived just after 6:00 p.m. at the Courtyard by Marriott Rome Riverwalk, the Harris campaign’s election night gathering was already underway. Inside, the mood was upbeat, almost celebratory. Supporters filled the space. Staff moved with purpose. Cameras from regional and national outlets lined the room.
It did not feel like a campaign bracing for defeat.
It felt like one expecting to compete.
That sense of optimism extended beyond the crowd. Harris’ campaign communications manager, a commuter from Indiana balancing the demands of political work with planning a wedding and searching for a home, spoke candidly about the moment. It was a reminder that behind every campaign are real people — building lives while trying to shape the direction of a district.
But step outside, and the tone shifted.
A short walk toward Broad Street revealed a different kind of energy. Parking spaces were filled, but foot traffic was sparse. The usual buzz of a downtown evening felt muted. Conversations were harder to find and when they did come, they carried a different weight.
One voter visiting from Woodstock, GA did not hesitate when asked about the direction of the country.
“Not good,” he said plainly.
Pressed further, he pointed to rising costs and what he described as a lack of moral leadership. His frustration echoed a familiar theme in conservative-leaning areas where economic pressure and cultural concerns often intersect.
Outside a small convenience store, another conversation revealed a different kind of distance from the political moment. Language barriers limited engagement, but the takeaway was just as telling: uncertainty. When asked about the direction of the country or even basic economic markers like gas prices, responses were hesitant, fragmented — a reminder that not all voters experience politics in the same way, or with the same level of access.
At a nearby restaurant, the conversations grew more layered — and more personal.
Patrons spoke openly about national issues, including U.S. involvement overseas, frustration with political leadership, and the feeling that neither party fully addressed their concerns. One voter described deep concern about American foreign policy, particularly in the Middle East, while still expressing a measure of trust in Democratic candidate Shawn Harris over his opponent.
Others reflected on community identity – describing Rome as a place where faith, family, and familiarity still shape daily life. Politics, in these conversations, was not abstract. It was tied to values, relationships, and lived experience.

By the time the race was called, the numbers brought clarity, but not simplicity.
According to Georgia Secretary of State official election results, Republican candidate Clay Fuller secured victory with 72,304 votes, while Democrat Shawn Harris received 57,030. The margin was decisive, but the context told a deeper story. In a district previously carried by Donald Trump by nearly 37 points, the narrower gap signaled movement — even in defeat.
Back inside the Marriott, that perspective defined the night.
Moments after networks called the race, Harris entered the room to sustained applause. Supporters rose to their feet. There was no visible deflation — only determination.
“We didn’t win here tonight,” Harris told the crowd. “But we did.”
He pointed to the nearly $2 million spent by Republicans and national attention brought into the race, arguing that such investment in a traditionally “ruby red” district reflected a changing political landscape.
“The Republican Party should never have to spend that kind of money here,” he said. “That tells you things are changing in northwest Georgia.”
Harris emphasized that the campaign’s work would continue immediately, framing the result not as an endpoint, but as momentum heading into November.
“This is not about me,” he added. “This is about the people here – working families trying to make ends meet.”
He also struck a conciliatory tone toward his opponent, acknowledging the result as fair and signaling a willingness to move forward without dispute.
The night, in many ways, became a study in contrast.
Inside: energy, belief, and a narrative of progress. Outside: skepticism, frustration, and quieter conviction.
Between them sat the reality of Rome in a district where political identity is not fixed, but layered. Where some voters feel deeply engaged, others feel disconnected, and many are navigating both at once.
The result belonged to Clay Fuller.
But the story of the night — and perhaps of the district — remains unfinished.

Most systems begin with people in mind. They are designed to solve a specific problem, remove friction, or make life easier for a defined group. Early versions reflect this clarity. Decisions are grounded in lived experience. Tradeoffs are visible. Purpose is easy to articulate. Over time, something shifts.
As systems scale, optimize, and evolve, they often lose contact with the very people they were created to serve. This does not happen through neglect. It happens through success. Metrics improve. Adoption increases. Complexity grows. And gradually, the system’s center of gravity moves away from human need and toward internal performance. This shift is subtle, but its effects are profound.
When a system forgets who it was built for, it begins to prioritize efficiency over understanding. Speed replaces explanation. Optimization replaces empathy. Decisions are justified through data abstractions that no longer resemble lived experience. The system still functions, but it feels colder, more rigid, less responsive. People notice this before organizations do.
Consider a healthcare platform introduced to streamline patient intake and reduce administrative burden. Initially, patients experience shorter wait times and clearer communication. Over time, additional features are layered in. Forms expand. Automated prompts multiply. Decision trees replace conversation. The platform becomes more capable, yet patients feel less seen. The system remembers the process, but forgets the person.
This pattern appears across domains. Financial tools designed to simplify budgeting grow into complex dashboards optimized for analytics rather than clarity. Educational platforms built to support learning become assessment engines that track performance without context. Workplace systems created to enable collaboration turn into surveillance mechanisms that measure activity rather than contribution. In each case, the system has not failed. It has drifted.
Drift occurs when continuity between original purpose and current behavior is lost. Decisions remain rational within the system’s internal logic, but that logic no longer includes the human experience that once guided it. The system forgets who it was built for because that knowledge is not preserved as a governing constraint.
This forgetting is rarely intentional. It emerges from a series of reasonable decisions made in isolation. Each optimization makes sense on its own. Each efficiency gain appears beneficial. But without continuity, these changes accumulate in a way that reshapes the system’s identity.
People with long memory sense this early. They recognize when interactions feel more transactional than relational. They notice when systems require adaptation rather than offering support. They experience a growing gap between what a system promises and how it behaves in practice.
You can hear this in everyday language. “It’s faster, but it’s harder to deal with.” “It works, but it doesn’t listen.” “You have to know how to work the system.” These are signals of misalignment, not incompetence. They indicate that the system’s evolution has outpaced its original intent.
Consider a public service portal designed to increase accessibility. Online access expands reach. Self-service options reduce cost. Yet for many users, particularly those navigating life transitions or unfamiliar processes, the system becomes more difficult to navigate. Instructions assume prior knowledge. Error handling is minimal. Support is buried. The system performs efficiently while leaving users behind. What has been lost is not capability, but orientation.
Systems that remember who they were built for retain an internal reference point. They evaluate change not only by performance metrics, but by impact on the people at the center. They ask whether new features clarify or complicate. Whether speed enhances or undermines understanding. Whether automation removes burden or simply redistributes it.
This kind of memory must be designed. It does not emerge naturally as systems grow. Without explicit continuity mechanisms, systems default to internal optimization. They become excellent at serving their own processes while growing increasingly opaque to users.
Technology accelerates this dynamic. Automated systems learn from usage patterns, but patterns alone do not capture intent. They reflect behavior constrained by available options. When systems optimize for what is measured rather than what is meant, they amplify existing limitations. The system becomes more precise while becoming less humane.
Consider a customer support system that uses automated routing to reduce resolution time. Common issues are handled quickly. Edge cases are escalated slowly. Over time, users learn to frame problems in ways the system recognizes, rather than describing them accurately. The system appears efficient, but truth is filtered to fit its logic. Both sides adapt, and meaning erodes.
This is what it looks like when a system forgets who it was built for. People change to accommodate the system instead of the system adapting to people.
Reintroducing memory requires more than feedback surveys or user testing. It requires preserving the system’s original purpose as an active constraint on future decisions. It means documenting not just what a system does, but why it exists. It means carrying forward the context of its creation and using that context to govern change.
Systems that maintain this continuity behave differently. They remain explainable even as they grow complex. They offer off-ramps instead of forcing compliance. They treat exceptions as information rather than noise. They evolve without losing their center.
For people navigating an increasingly automated world, this distinction matters. Systems that remember their purpose feel supportive even when they are powerful. Systems that forget feel demanding even when they are efficient. One invites trust. The other requires endurance.
As intelligent systems continue to shape daily life, remembering who they were built for becomes a form of accountability. It ensures that progress does not come at the cost of dignity. It anchors innovation to human reality rather than abstract performance.
When systems forget who they were built for, people do not suddenly reject them. They adapt quietly. They comply outwardly. They disengage inwardly. Over time, this creates distance that no amount of optimization can repair.
Systems that remember remain inhabitable. They change without alienating. They grow without erasing their origins. They retain continuity between intention and impact.
That continuity is not sentimental. It is structural. And in a world of accelerating change, it is one of the few safeguards that keeps technology aligned with the lives it is meant to serve.
Obama Presidential Center announces 2026 ticket sales, offering immersive exhibits, free campus access, and historic experiences celebrating Barack and Michelle Obama’s legacy.
By Milton Kirby | Chicago, IL | April 7, 2026
The Obama Foundation has announced key ticket sale dates for the highly anticipated museum at the Obama Presidential Center, marking a major milestone as the campus prepares to open to the public this summer.
According to the Foundation, Founding Members will gain early access to purchase museum tickets beginning April 21, while general public ticket sales will open on May 6.
The broader campus, located in Chicago’s historic Jackson Park, will officially open June 19, offering free access to a wide range of public amenities. Visitors will be able to explore walking trails, gardens, a Chicago Public Library branch, and nearly 30 commissioned works of art, along with scenic views of Lake Michigan.
The museum itself will serve as the centerpiece of the campus, featuring immersive, four-floor exhibits dedicated to the presidency of Barack Obama and the influence of Michelle Obama. Through interactive storytelling and multimedia installations, the experience is designed to explore both the accomplishments and ongoing challenges tied to American democracy.
Among the museum’s featured attractions is a full-scale replica of the Oval Office, allowing visitors to sit behind the Resolute Desk, as well as exhibits highlighting Michelle Obama’s fashion legacy and the broader impact of the administration’s two terms.
Special film installations will also spotlight campaign volunteers who helped build the Obama movement and Americans whose personal letters received direct responses from the president.
General admission tickets will be priced at $30 for adults and $23 for children ages 3 to 11, with free entry for children under two. Illinois residents will receive discounted pricing and will also have access to free admission every Tuesday beginning June 23, though advance reservations are strongly encouraged due to expected demand.
All museum visits will be timed-entry, and officials recommend reserving tickets online ahead of arrival. Initial ticket availability will cover dates from June 19 through November 30, 2026.
For visitors seeking a more in-depth experience, the Foundation will offer a 90-minute Campus Experience Tour. The guided tour includes museum admission, priority access to key exhibits, and behind-the-scenes entry into select non-public areas of the facility.
Foundation CEO Valerie Jarrett emphasized that the Center is intended to be more than a museum. It is designed as a civic space rooted in community, learning, and inspiration.
The project represents a significant cultural and economic investment in Chicago’s South Side, with leaders noting its potential to generate long-term economic growth while creating a global destination tied to the legacy of the nation’s first Black president.
As anticipation builds, the Obama Presidential Center stands poised to become both a historical landmark and a living space for civic engagement—inviting visitors not only to reflect on history, but to shape what comes next.

Atlanta Dream acquire All-Star Angel Reese from Chicago Sky, adding elite rebounding and championship pedigree after historic 2025 season, signaling serious title ambitions in 2026.
By Milton Kirby | Atlanta, GA | April 6, 2026
The Atlanta Dream made one of the biggest moves of the WNBA offseason on Monday, acquiring two‑time All‑Star Angel Reese from the Chicago Sky in exchange for the Dream’s 2027 and 2028 first‑round draft picks. Atlanta also receives the right to swap second‑round picks with Chicago in 2028.
Reese, already one of the league’s most productive young players, joins a franchise coming off a historic 2025 season under first‑year head coach Karl Smesko. The 22‑year‑old forward has quickly become one of the WNBA’s premier frontcourt forces, averaging 14.0 points and 12.8 rebounds over her first two seasons while recording 49 career double‑doubles.
“Angel is a dynamic talent and a perfect fit for what we are building in Atlanta,” Dream General Manager Dan Padover said. “Her competitiveness, production and drive to win align seamlessly with our vision.”
Reese’s arrival also brings a significant boost to the Dream’s visibility.
Beyond her on‑court production, she enters Atlanta as one of the WNBA’s most influential social media figures, with a following that extends far beyond traditional basketball audiences. Her presence is expected to elevate the Dream’s national profile and draw new fans to a franchise already on the rise.
Reese first captured national attention by leading LSU to the 2023 NCAA championship, earning Most Outstanding Player honors. Her transition to the professional game has been equally impactful. She set WNBA rookie records for rebounds per game (13.1) and consecutive double‑doubles (15) in 2024, and remains the only player in league history to average at least 12 rebounds per game in each of her first two seasons.
“I’m beyond grateful for the opportunity to join the Atlanta Dream organization,” Reese said. “I’m focused on continuing to grow my game, competing at the highest level, connecting with the fans, and giving everything I’ve got to the Dream.”
Smesko, who transformed Atlanta from last in offensive rating in 2024 to second in 2025, said Reese’s style fits the system he is building.
“Angel’s ability to impact the game on both ends of the floor is elite,” Smesko said. “Her energy, toughness and instincts will thrive in our system.”
The Dream enter the 2026 season with momentum after multiple players delivered career‑best performances last year. Allisha Gray finished fourth in MVP voting, Rhyne Howard became the fastest player in league history to reach 300 three‑pointers, Naz Hillmon earned Sixth Player of the Year honors, and Brionna Jones doubled her career total of double‑doubles in her first season with Atlanta.
Atlanta opens the 2026 season at home on May 17 against the defending champion Las Vegas Aces at State Farm Arena, one of five games the Dream will play there this year as part of the organization’s push to elevate women’s basketball on larger stages.

Nathaniel “Mr. Bowleggs” Dansby’s Soul Country journey reclaims Black roots in country music, blending faith, legacy, and storytelling into a timeless cultural revival.
Nathaniel “Mr. Bowleggs” Dansby Reclaims the Roots of Country Music
By Milton Kirby | Atlanta, GA | April 6, 2026
Nathaniel Dansby’s journey into Soul Country began long before he stepped onto a stage. Long before he became “Mr. Bowleggs,” the rising force who fought his way from third place to champion of the Soul Country Music Star (SCMS) competition, he was simply a boy in a crowded Alabama home—one of six children raised in a family where music wasn’t a hobby. It was a mandate.
“We were kind of like the Jackson 5,” he said with a grin. “We got our tail whooped if we didn’t stay in the room and practice until we perfected it.”
Under the strict but loving guidance of his mother, Dansby began singing at age three. By five, he was performing publicly with his siblings as The Little Gospel Wonders, carrying harmonies from church revivals to community gatherings across Alexander City. His mother saw something in him early, something she named out loud.

“My mom told me, ‘Nate, you’re my special child,’” he said. “I lost her in 1998, but I still hear her voice. Before I entered this competition, she came to me and said, ‘Hey, you got it. You’re a winner.’ I had to give it my all because I had that confirmation.”
Her belief became the quiet engine behind his reinvention, heartbreak, and eventual triumph.
A Calling, Not a Career
Dansby doesn’t describe music as a profession. He calls it a calling—one shaped by faith, family, and a desire to give people something real.
“I don’t want to create music just for now,” he said. “I want it to last forever.”
That spiritual grounding shapes not only how he sings, but why he sings. His mission is simple: to give people hope, to make them feel something, and to create music that outlives him.
Finding Country and Finding Himself
Country music was not always part of Dansby’s plan. After years rooted in gospel and R&B, he began singing country music about seven years ago. What started as a new direction quickly became something deeper, something that felt like home.
“I never thought in a million years I’d be singing country,” he said. “But it fits my heart.”
Country music offered him something the other genres didn’t: a place where storytelling, vulnerability, and emotional clarity mattered more than vocal gymnastics.
“Country music is a story. It’s life. I want people to see what I’m singing about.”
Rickey Davis Scott the musician and cultural historian and Soul Country Music Star judge —puts it plainly:
“The history of country music… it’s all from us. From the banjo in South Africa to the rhythms that shaped Hank Williams. Black artists aren’t new to country—we’re the architects.”
Season One: The Third Place Finisher Who Refused to Quit
Dansby’s first appearance on the SCMS stage didn’t end in victory — in fact, he didn’t even make it to the top two. He finished third at the Atlanta regional competition in Season One. The placement stung, not because he expected an easy win, but because he knew he hadn’t yet shown the fullness of who he could be. “I thought, ‘I’m good, I got this,’” he admitted. “But I didn’t. I wasn’t prepared.”
Scott remembers it clearly.
“He went up there and sang R&B,” Scott said. “He didn’t know the country lyrics, the catalog, the tradition. The voice was there, but the identity wasn’t activated yet.”
The crowd loved him. The judges didn’t. And Dansby felt the sting.
But he didn’t quit.
“It taught me to give everything—my pain, my soul—because if people can’t feel it, there’s no point.”
The Transformation
After Season One, Dansby went to work.
He studied country music intentionally, the artists, the phrasing, the emotional truth‑telling that defines the genre. He learned to sing country, not imitate it.
“He’d come to me talking about songs he heard on the radio,” Scott said. “That’s when I knew he was embracing the culture, not just the sound.”
Dansby became, in his own words, a musical chameleon, able to shift between genres without losing himself.
“I realized the only thing stopping me was me.”
Season Two: The Redemption and the Crown
When Dansby returned for Season Two, he wasn’t the same artist who had finished third the year before. He came back humble, focused, and prepared—determined not to repeat the mistakes of his first run.
He was grounded. Focused. Present.
“I wanted to give everything in my soul so people could feel it,” he said.
And they did.
This time, he didn’t just advance, he dominated. Dansby won the Atlanta regional competition, earning his place on the national stage in Hollywood. And when he stepped into that spotlight, he delivered the performance of his life.
He killed it. The festival crowd loved him. And the judges felt what they hadn’t felt before: a fully realized Soul Country artist.
When his name was called as the Season Two national winner, the room erupted. The man who once doubted whether he belonged in country music had now proven himself at the highest level.
“Going to LA showed me I belonged,” he said. “It showed me I could stand with anybody.”
Now, with a potential 2026 tour with the Bill Pickett Invitational Rodeo (BPIR) on the horizon, Dansby returns to the national spotlight not as a newcomer, but as a contender—sharpened, seasoned, and ready for whatever comes next.
“It was the greatest feeling of my life,” he said. “I’ve never felt anything like it.”
“I want to leave my footprint in the sand. I want people to say, ‘He was here, and he’s here to stay.’”
A Performer Driven by Connection
On stage, Dansby doesn’t perform to the audience, he performs with them.
He describes entering a “zone,” where the goal is not perfection but impact. Whether through clapping, movement, or quiet attention, he looks for signs that the audience feels the music.
“That connection fuels me,” he said. “It turns each song into a shared experience.”
The Cultural Weight of Soul Country
To understand Dansby’s rise, you have to understand the movement behind him.
Soul Country Music Star is not just a talent competition—it is a cultural restoration. A reclamation of a musical tradition whose roots are Black, Southern, rural, and deeply African.
“We’re creative people,” Scott said. “Everything the world loves—we created. Country music is no different.”
Dansby is part of that reclamation—a living reminder of what was lost, and what is returning.
BPIR: The Cultural Homecoming
The Bill Pickett Invitational Rodeo—the nation’s oldest Black rodeo—has become a proving ground for Soul Country artists. It is where Black audiences show up early, buy tickets, buy merch, and support their own.
“It’s a blessing to the people,” Dansby said. “That’s what excites me most—connecting with them.”
Scott sees BPIR as a cultural anchor.
“It’s not just a rodeo,” he said. “It’s a community. It’s a place where our artists can be embraced without running away from their own people.”
The Duet the World Is Waiting For
Dansby and fellow Soul Country artist Kirk Jay have been discussing a duet—a collaboration both artists believe could be a defining moment for the genre.
Dansby says the contrast in their vocal styles is what makes the idea so powerful.
“When we finally record it, it’s going to be something special,” he said.
Scott agrees.
“Two Black men in country, both with powerhouse voices—that’s rare. That’s history.”
A Legacy in the Sand
At 43, Dansby sees his career not as a late start, but as a divine timeline.
He wants his music to be evergreen. He wants his story to inspire. He wants his children—and the world—to know that anything is possible.
“I want to leave my footprint in the sand,” he said. “I want people to say, ‘He was here, and he’s here to stay.’”
As “Mr. Bowleggs” continues his ascent, he carries Alexander City, The Little Gospel Wonders, and the full weight of Soul Country’s rebirth with him—proving that the soul of country music has always been right where it started: in the heart.
