VOICE OF DETROIT HEADER PHOTO:
This photo is a portion of a 2014 mural on Grand River Avenue in Detroit, painted by Detroit based graphic artist SINTEX, who has been countering graffiti painted by non-Detroiters, much of which is nonsensical and non-political, and geared to create chaos and confusion not relevant in particular to Detroit youth. Sintex's mural photo is cropped to fit in the WordPress header guidelines.

DIANE BUKOWSKI, EDITOR
Diane is a life-long Detroiter. She produced thousands of ground-breaking investigative articles and photos for The Michigan Citizen for more than 10 years as a professional reporter. In 2000, she broke the story of Eugene Brown, the Detroit police officer who unjustifiably killed three men in 1995, 1996 and 1999, in a piece headlined SERIAL KILLER KOPS?
Diane Bukowski arrested and charged Nov. 4, 2008 for covering fatal high-speed chase by state troopers
She continued to expose killer and rapist cops, as well as the failure of Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy to charge them. She authored numerous stories on battles against prison abuses like juvenile life without parole. She covered the Detroit Public Schools beat for eight years, the devastation of public services and employment, the Detroit Medical Center, and numerous other matters.
In retaliation for her exposes of the police and the Prosecutor's office, she was falsely convicted of two felonies in 2009, for photographing the aftermath of a fatal State Trooper chase which caused the deaths of two Black Detroit men.
Bukowski worked for the City of Detroit from 1974 t0 1999, in the Health and Human Rights Departments. She was a union leader in Local 457 of the American Federation of State County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) for 20 years. Along with Local 457 President Al Phillips, who passed in 1994, and others, she co-founded the Coalition to Stop Privatization and Save Our City in 1992. She retired with 25 years in 1999 and currently writes numerous stories on the assault on Detroit and other majority-Black cities in Michigan, particularly the phony bankruptcy case which is laying waste to the city.
OUR LATE AND DEARLY BELOVED CORNELL SQUIRES, INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER; PARALEGAL, LEADER OF WE THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE, RICOBUSTERS, passed November 19, 2016
Cornell Squires speaking at press conference on anniversary of murder of Aiyana Stanley-Jones, 7, by Detroit police.
Cornell Squires had been a community activist in Detroit for many decades. He worked as a City of Detroit EMS technician in the 1990's, exposing the hazardous condition of the ambulances both for workers and patients for 12 years, until he retired on disability. He is still fighting for his pension benefits.
In 2000, he joined the Original Detroit Coalition Against Police Brutality after Detroit cop Robert Feld brutalized him for inquiring why police had stopped his son on the street. Cornell's father had a heart attack during the incident and died some months later. Then his son and cousins were repeatedly targeted by the police in retaliation. He continues to work on behalf of others whose loved ones have been killed by the police or who have themselves been brutalized.
Cornell founded We the People for the People, spending many years working with renowned activist attorney Leonard Eston, who was part of a cohort of militant 1960's attorneys including Chokwe Lumumba and Kenneth Cockrel, Jr. Eston and Squires have done pro bono work for countless individuals and families whose children have been taken by CPS, who have lost their homes, and experienced other legal hardships. Eston passed in 2013, but Cornell has carried on their work.
He also works with RICOBUSTERS, an organization formed to challenge the court system as a whole, demanding that it be returned to the common people.

TRAVIS HERNDON, LEGAL CONSULTANT
Travis Herndon, VOD legal consultant
Travis Herndon has studied law and related fields for over 34 years. He works as a paralegal consultant and pro se legal document author with individuals inside the prison system as well as those dealing with legal issues outside the walls. He is well-known across the MDOC and in the legal field. Many lawyers and prisoner advocates consult with him on a regular basis, due to his astute analytical skills. He has helped free many prisoners during the past decades.
He focuses particularly on arguing actual innocence issues, which are recognized by the federal courts but frequently not by Michigan state courts, which prefer to depend on "newly-discovered evidence," a much more complicated issue.
He is a vital part of VOD's staff, since the paper focuses many stories on mass incarceration, wrongful convictions, police misconduct, and related issues. VOD's editor and other writers depend on him to advise them when dealing with these stories.
Mr. Herndon was born in 1955, and grew up in Highland Park, attending schools in that city's system.
RICARDO FERRELL, FIELD EDITOR
Ricardo Ferrell's stories focus largely on the world of the Michigan Dept. of Corrections, along with other issues in the "world" outside. He portrays his fellow prisoners in his articles with respect and true love, and reports enthusiastically on programs they all participate in, such as periodic poetry "SLAMS," among others. His articles show the contributions prisoners could make to the world outside, if only they were not part of the largest prison system in the world.
The U.S. has five percent of the world's population, and 25 percent of its incarcerated population. The U.S. is the only country in the world that sentences juveniles to death in prison. It is also the only country that has true "life without parole," with prisoners actually dying inside the walls. Most countries average a total of 15-20 years for sentences of any kind. There is currently a growing movement here to completely abolish both juvenile life without parole as well as life without parole for adults.
Mr. Ferrell has been incarcerated since 1982, and is currently at the Michigan Reformatory of Ionia (MRI).
He writes, "I am exactly seven years without any type of misconducts. I am considered a model prisoner by some staff members here at RMI where I've been housed for two years now. The same when I was housed at MTU for tw0 years, three months, and when I was housed at URF for tw0 years. seven months. I worked two jobs at MTU, URF and here. I am Chapel Clerk and in the Prisoner Observation Aide Program (suicide watch) each with exceptionally excellent work evaluations."
He has been working diligently towards eventual parole as well currently seeking placement again in The Youth Deterrent Program at Ryan Correctional Facility. He was a co-founder of that program in 2008.
CORTEZ DAVIS-EL, INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER
Cortez Davis El
VOD is honored to welcome Cortez Davis-El to its staff. Along with being an extremely gifted writer and reporter, Cortez Davis-El is a certified paralegal, American Sign Language Tutor, Master Gardener, certified Substance Abuse Relapse teacher, and youth mentor with the G.O.A.L.S. program at the Michigan Department of Corrections Thumb Correctional Facility in Lapeer, MI. Voice of Detroit has now published four of his articles and looks forward to many more.
Mr. Davis-El's accomplishments and determination during the 23 years he has spent as a juvenile lifer in the MDOC are astounding. He was re-sentenced April 27 to 25-60 years and is now back "in the world."
Davis survived a horrific childhood, growing up in drug-infested surroundings, at one point becoming homeless, and dropping out of school in eighth grade to support his younger siblings. He was 16 when he was incarcerated for first-degree murder in a robbery where he was not the shooter or even close to the victim; he was on the other side of the street.
Recorders Court Judge Vera Massey-Jones refused to sentence him to LWOP, saying she felt he could be rehabilitated during a term of 10-40 years, and that the system had been "throwing him away" for most of his life. Twenty years before the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Miller v. Alabama that Juvenile Life Without Parole is unconstitutional, Judge Massey-Jones said that JLWOP was "cruel and unusual punishment" under the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution. But her original sentence of 10-40 years was overturned on appeal.
Mr. Davis-El will be reporting not only on prison-related issues, but on other topics of his choice. He has a wealth of experience both from inside the walls and outside in the world and VOD looks forward to his continued growth as a brilliant commentator and reporter.
KENNETH SNODGRASS, ACTIVIST, PHOTO/VIDEOGRAPHER, JOURNALIST
Kenneth Snodgrass
Kenneth Snodgrass, author of From Victimization to Empowerment, The Challenge Of African American Leadership, The Need Of Real Power, is an African American intellectual, who has been a political activist for more than 44 years. His work with numerous community organizations has supplied him with an arsenal to study the lessons of our ancestors and people from the past and present.
Mr. Snodgrass's writings show his deep conviction, dedication and spirit. He considers himself an African Warrior struggling to bring about economic, political, and social changes in America that will help to empower African people in America and the Diaspora. His writings, opinions and poetry continue to be provocative and controversial occasionally! They express his originality, creativity and his analysis!
They reflect the reality of Two Americas, one white and powerful and one Black, a nation of people who have been subject to hundreds of years of Slavery, white supremacy and Jim Crow. They reflect the need for collective struggle, strength and commitment, by African Americans locally, nationally and internationally.
Mr. Snodgrass believes that we need to evaluate the concepts, ideas, writings and projections of our past and present historians, intellectuals, because there are so many different viewpoints about the movement. We need to begin answering these new questions about our future with new ideas, new thoughts and new projections.
One of Ken's past editors Wanda Roquemore, publisher and editor of "All About Detroit," said, "Your writings and analysis always challenge you to think about the problem and to think about the solution."
Mr. Snodgrass has a philosopher's understanding of what is Freedom, Citizenship, Political Direction, Culture and sub-Culture, our Identity, Dignity, Pride, Spirituality, Humanity, Collective Struggles, Freedom, and the African Identity. Questions we ask as a people and as a nation will need to be answered in the 21 century.
Mr. Snodgrass has worked with many community and political groups, e.g. Black Panther Party, Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), the All African Peoples Union (AAPU), the Committee for Political Development, the Advocators, National Organization for America (NOAR), Save Our Son and Daughter (SOSAD), the Michigan Committee to Organize the Unemployed, Detroiter's for Dignity (a senior citizen group), U.S./Cuba Labor Exchange, the Justice for Cuba Coalition, Black Left Unity (BLU), and many other issue oriented groups.
Mr. Snodgrass (Ken) is opposed to the U.S.A. dominating international policies on Central America, Africa and the Third World Countries, because it projects American chauvinism and racism and works against the development of self-autonomy of their Nations. Also the USA is in the process of carrying out low intensity warfare. He supports the liberation struggles of oppressed people for humanitarian advancement i.e. their struggles for the elimination of racism, sexism, materialism, consumerism, militarism, colonialism, U.S. hegemony, environment destruction etc.
Kenneth has been writing publicly for the last 25 years and his articles have appeared in over 50 different weekly and monthly publications, including journals, newsletters, local and national newspapers and national wire services. Some of the publications were weekly and some are monthly.
VOD NEEDS OTHER REPORTERS, WRITERS, PHOTOGRAPHERS, MARKETERS AND STAFF. At this point, VOD is not able to pay, but we are working on setting up advertising and links with other organizations to eventually produce revenue for an uncompromising newspaper that addresses the struggles in this city's majority Black community as well as struggles of poor and working people world-wide.

Hello! I work at the Health Communication Research Laboratory on the Washington University in St. Louis campus. One of our newest projects is 211Counts.org, the first web-based tool to provide real-time, searchable, and visual presentations of data about community-specific needs of vulnerable populations. It covers not only the entire state of Michigan, but also 15 other states, and more on the way! 2-1-1 Counts displays a count of 2-1-1 callers' needs in usable form and reports data at the ZIP code, region or call center level as recently as yesterday.
The next phase in our project is to increase our marketing efforts, and we would be interested in advertising in the Voice of Detroit Can you tell me more about prices, etc that would go along with advertising? I read on your website that the VOC is just beginning to set up advertising, so I'm not sure if this information is available yet, but I wanted to check.

Gloria G> Lee says:
Good Afternoon:
My name is Minister Gloria Lee. Recently I have initiated The Wall Project to teach prisoners to read. We need to work with these men before they are returned to the community. We need to instill hope and belief in the future or these men will return to prisoner for longer and longer prison sentences or these men will be killed attempting another violence act or robbery. These men are needed in our community as fathers, sons and brothers. So our community should support the rehabilitation of these men and women. I was wondering if we can partner together in this venture. I can be reached at yithril11@netzero.net or 734 686 1444. If you follow the link on youtube below you can learn more about The Wall Project

Hello Ms. Bukowski I believe an existing law that is well recognized by the city of Detroit and the state of mi. is be purposely disobeyed . a statute of limitations exists of six years on parking tickets per Herrada vs City of Detroit 2001 case, this case is used nation wide in defenses against other municipalities and is a landmark decision in abuse of govt . power. my problem is that the city of Detroit ignores its standing and has continued to extort millions of dollars from citizens along with the state of mi. in full cooperation. I find it appalling that a city with 43% poverty rate has the audacity to subject its population to such a long term punishment with no mercy for such trivial offences. people are being made into criminals for unpaid 10 year old parking tickets. there drivers licenses are suspended and they are forced to drive without a license or not feed there family. they are loosing there jobs if they have a profession related to transportation and there marketability is diminished to any employer who observes they must travel by bus. the premise of statute of limitation is engrained in our system of laws, people who have committed felonies are protected by a huge variety of laws that are less than 6 yrs. I have witnessed many poor detroiters who are subjected by the Detroit parking authority to finance the paying off of there tickets.It is disgusting to me how a city that just filed bankruptcy and effectively screwed hundreds of thousands of people out of money they were owed to have so little mercy as to extract there pound justice upon its own citizens.

This message is for Diane Bukowski. Your 10/31/2015 article on William Melendez includes a list of victims. Do you know the racial breakdown of these people? I'm having a hard time finding information about them on the web.
Additionally, if you are aware of published stories or reports on racism against African Americans, local or national, please do submit them at http://www.exhibit-a.org. Thanks so much for your great work here and for any assistance you can provide.
I will post this notice on the front page of Voice of Detroit. If you have any graphic or flyer for this event, please email it to me at diane_bukowski@hotmail.com.

I'm so glad I came across this website. This is a cool website with great news about Detroit. We need more people like this that are willing to get the facts and will back down for nothing and no one.
Great job and a hope to see more.
Do you cover stories about Metro Detroit? There is a peace rally in Inkster at Inkster High School at 9:30 am on 7-13-13. Its a story I think should be covered! The violence has got to stop in our cities.
Also can anyone give an article to be published here?
Anthony Ratkov says:
I'd like to ask you about writing an article on your website. I have an idea that would improve education in Detroit public schools. I call it 'Labor Education'. The idea of labor education involves teaching students a course in labor politics. The course would also include a brief history of the labor movement. I think Labor Education should be mandatory for all students in Detroit public high schools.
In a class in Labor Education, the students will learn that when they graduate from high school, they may get a job in a non-union shop. If they work in a non-union shop, they may be treated unfairly, and their rights may be violated. Classroom instruction in Labor Education would teach students the basics of labor unions, it would teach them the basics of union organizing drives, so they would be motivated to join unions, as soon as they graduated from high school, and got jobs.
Do you think the Republicans would oppose this idea? Where do you stand on this issue? Does 'Voice Of Detroit' have a policy on Labor Education, of do you wish to treat it like a non-issue?

You guys claim to represent against biased and against corruption or whatever, but you DELETE people's comments on your website if you don't agree with their opinion?? awesome…
I love it…Thats all i needed to know.
watch, now this post will be deleted too…
Too bad you are all too uneducated to know that everything you write is crap and that even the concept of trying to claim that all police are RAPISTS, and murderers, etc is hilarious…You guys must think that ACLU-types agree?? too bad they don't
go ahead, delete my posts…it just shows how ignorant and truly BIASED you are…Numerous people read it and then saw my posts deleted. I love it…Thats all those detroit residents needed to see
Your current post is being allowed only to let readers know that all such posts will be deleted in the future. This is not the Detroit News or Free Press which allow all sorts of racist remarks from ignorant, uneducated, hostile people who hate everyone in Detroit to be posted. This is an independent newspaper run by our own guidelines. We will not allow posts we consider not to be in the interests of the people. So be warned, all other posts from you or anyone else of a similar frame of mind will be DELETED. Don't read the paper if you don't like what it stands for.

Alonzo Bell says:
I have recieved so much information from this newspaper I feel like I have hit the Jackpot. Is there anyway I can subscribe as well as help advertise your paper. I am the founder of a non profit that deals with many issues I have read in your paper. I want to help mobilize people to get them informed about these issues. I am just getting started and I need help and I want to help in any way that I can, any organization that is about justice and truth. Please keep me updated. Keep up the great work!! The people of Detroit needs a paper like this.
Nellie Jefferies Slater says:
Last week in the news broadcast announcing the firings of Detroit's Fire Commisioner and Deputy Commissioner, Councilman Andrew Spivey made an odd comment. He said, "We're (Council members) here to serve the Mayor…" Those who voted him were obviously of the mistaken assumption that if elected, he would be serving Detroit residents. One can't help but wonder how of the other new sitting Council members understand who they represent. Totally outrageous!!!
Lewis M. (Bill) Dickens III says:
Greg sent me your link.
Maybe I should send you some of my writings on what Robert Bobb has done that is absolutely corrupt from a Construction point of view. I am an architect and I am completely aware of what is illegal and appalling.
It's a gouge to raise monies for the campaign of Mitt Romney against Obama.
Please do; especially now that the new EM has abrogated all union contracts. Email them to diane_bukowski@hotmail.com. Thanks, Diane Bukowski

Mithinga Daimary (alias Deepak Das) ()  was the Central Publicity Secretary of the banned outfit ULFA since the previous publicity secretary Siddhartha Phukan's surrender in 1992. He was born in the Barama village in Nalbari district of Assam on 17 May 1967 with the birth name Deepak Kachari.

Education
Daimary joined B. Borooah College in Guwahati in 1986. But he could not complete his graduation since he joined ULFA in the same year and went underground. Later he became the Central Publicity Secretary of the outfit.

Arrest
He was captured by the Royal Bhutan Army during the Operation All Clear in December 2003. He was handed over by Bhutan to the Indian Army who in turn handed him over to Assam Police on 20 December 2003. ''I will not surrender before the government and will fight to the end,'' said Daimary in a show of defiance when produced before the Chief Judicial Magistrate of Nalbari. He further said that the Bhutanese operation was quite unexpected. He has now been released from jail for peace talks between the Government of India and the ULFA. Apurba Baruah became his successor after his arrest.

Poetry

Daimary wrote poetry under the pseudonym Megan Kachari and has three collections of it. In 2006, the World Book Fair in Frankfurt released an English translation of some of his poems. Melodies and Guns ()) is a collection of his poems published by UBSPD in response to the efforts taken by Jnanpith Awardee Mamoni Raisom Goswami. Memsahib Prithibi is the collection of his Assamese poetry now translated into English as "Melodies and Guns" by Pradeep Acharya and Manjeet Baruah. The preface of the book is written by Dr Goswami herself. He has been writing poetry since even before he joined ULFA in the 1980s. "While at the camp, he had a few birds as pets. On the night of the crackdown, when everyone was fleeing, he wanted to take them with him. On finding them asleep, he waited for them to wake up, but it was too late," said Dr Mamoni Raisom Goswami.

Family Assassination
In 2000 his entire family - mother, elder brother, sister, pregnant sister-in-law – was assassinated by unidentified gunman which is said to be a part of the Secret Killings that then AGP government allegedly carried out.

On today's blog, we're giving you 3 simple tips to help you care for your scrubs and keep them looking new as long as they possibly can. It all starts before you put them on for the first time and ends when you're putting them away. Let's get started!
Just as we mentioned before, it's important to care for your scrubs even before you put them on. We know how tempting it is to want to throw 'em on and wear them to work immediately, but pre-washing the fabric will help keep it bright with every wash after.
Instead of throwing your scrubs in with all of your other laundry, wash them separately. Although it's a slight inconvenience when it comes to laundry, it will keep your scrubs in tip-top shape throughout their lifetime (and save you money in the long run). Don't forget to keep like colors together and separate out those whites.
Majority of the time, cold water is best for medical scrubs. Or, if you're feeling really ambitious, hand washing would be the most beneficial for the materials and fabrics (but we know that's not very realistic). Before tossing those scrubs in the washer and hitting start, be sure to check the label for any special instructions that may be fabric-specific. Here's one of our special tips: allow the washing machine to fill with extra water to give your scrubs more space to move around, and rinse properly.
If possible, avoiding heat when drying is preferred for most scrub fabrics and materials. If necessary, a low-heat setting can be used on a dryer (if you're in a rush and need something to be done quickly), otherwise it's recommended to hang them up to dry.

South African Communique
Communications Minister Siphiwe Nyanda announced on 24 November 2009 that the South Africa Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) will receive a state bail – out of R1, 473billion. This follows the approval by the Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan. "We hope that the financial injection by government will help the SABC meet its urgent needs, such as payment of outstanding of debts and other matters of priority," Nyanda said. Department of Treasury said R1 billion will be made available immediately and the remaining R473-million will be subject to the broadcaster presenting a plan with clear revenue targets and cost-cutting measures, to enable effective oversight and monitoring.
Interim SABC board chairwoman Irene Charnley said the interim board had already started identifying cost-cutting measures and putting in place governance systems to guard against wasteful expenditure. Cost – cutting measures and a turn-around strategy implemented by the interim board in the past four months had saved the corporation R65million. Communications ministry spokesman Tiyani Rikhotso said the intervention would help stabilise the SABC after prolonged periods of uncertainty among staff members and the public.

There are no silver stamps at all, the brooch bezel is testing as sterling silver and is guaranteed as such. The back has a simple C-clasp with and tube hinge.
The agate stone is translucent.

Very, very good. No chips or cracks to the stone. Nice patina to the silver and the pin is straight and very sharp.
Well made, typically understated... a charming Edwardian brooch that would give a lovely pop of color to a jacket lapel.
