Psalm 16:1

Preserve me, O God, for in you I put my trust.

There are many places in the world who do not preserve food the way we do in America. We have access to pressure cooking, frozen, canned and other means.

Some places understand better the words “give us Lord our daily bread” without preservatives.

One must ponder what is God’s preservation is for us as human’s.

As trouble comes our way. Often we survive because of God’s grace. We are blessed by His ministering angel’s. We do not rot and wither away the way the world does if we are following God's way.

Prayer: Preserve me, O God for in you I put my trust. A-men

AP African American studies course to be dropped in SC public schools

GREENVILLE, S.C. (WSPA) – The South Carolina Department of Education said AP African American studies will not be offered in the state’s schools anymore.

The decision comes after districts, like Greenville County Schools, wrapped up a two-year pilot program for the AP course.

The class was developed by College Board, a nonprofit that creates AP (Advanced Placement) courses taught across the country. According to a College Board overview, the course is a study of the diversity of black communities in the United States.

“They [students] are getting hands-on college experience while still in high school so the transition from high school to college is not that hard for them,” said Dr. Jerret Fite, a Clinton College professor.

In a statement sent out to school districts, Deputy Superintendent Matthew Ferguson said there has been significant controversy surrounding the course.

Many teachers and students in the Greenville County school district have vocalized their frustration at the removal of the course, saying this course on the AP level is a necessity.

“The District received official notification yesterday, June 4, 2024, from the South Carolina Department of Education that the African American Studies AP course will not be available for the 2024-25 school year. Some high schools within Greenville County had this course scheduled for the spring of 2025, which provides the District time to consider the appropriate path moving forward.”

What better way to honor Juneteenth than by assisting someone in registering or preparing to vote? Time is swiftly passing, and before we know it, November 5th (Election Day) will arrive, and we don't want to be caught saying, "I am not registered or Who to vote for?"
Continue to keep our grieving families and friends in your prayers. A phone call, text, or visit can mean so much.
