TBTNEWS HEADLINEEbony Has Your Back, Do You Have Ours?
Special Correspondents: Desiree Rogers and Kierna Mayo
We're the oldest Black magazine in the world, but we know better than to solely rely on the past to keep modern, intelligent African-Americans hooked. For some, these are so-called "post racial" times, but we know there is still such a thing as the Black perspective—and EBONY delivers it clear and uncut. With the cacophony of media noise out there, we're stepping up our game with bolder covers and provocative, urgent content you can't turn away from. We know Black people consume lots of information—fast.
The August issue already has Black social media aflame. Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook stopped in its tracks—everyone agrees that the politically charged cover line "outs" the secret sentiment so many African-Americans share: "America Loves Black People Culture."
We are in the throes of the Black Live Matters movement and we take reporting on our fate seriously. However, we can't remain in the trenches without support. Not only is EBONY doing the work, but we are staying brave and keeping it gorgeous and exciting. We need Black people to continue to "have our back." It's not just a cliche. Without Black dollars, EBONY can not survive. It's that simple.
So please subscribe to EBONY and tell everyone you love to do the same! For only $5.99 you can have Black America's perspective for an entire year on your iPad. Click for more info! http://www.ebony.com/ebonyapp/index.php?campaign=cwtbt

Special Correspondent: Dr. Ron Daniels
The Red, Black & Green: Fly The Flag and Fight For the Exoneration of Marcus Garvey.
August 17 will mark the 128th birthday of the Honorable Marcus Mosiah Garvey, the visionary Jamaican-born leader who built the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League (UNIA-ACL) into the largest mass movement for liberation in the history of Africans in America and perhaps the world! As such, I have long advocated that August 17th, his birthday, be celebrated as Universal African Flag Day.
An unapologetic Pan-Africanist, Garvey believed that Black people should unite and fight to liberate Africa, the motherland, from the brutal clutches of European colonialism – Africa should be the base for global Black Power! Hence he said, “I know no national boundary where the Negro is concerned. The whole world is my province until Africa is free.”
At a time when people of African descent were besieged, belittled, marginalized, exploited and oppressed everywhere, Garvey sought to instill a sense of pride in the history and heritage of a great people, noting that: “A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.” He declared that“ God and Nature first made us what we are, and then out of our own created genius we make ourselves what we want to be… Let the sky and God be our limit and Eternity our measurement.”
Garvey was determined to rally a beleaguered people and mold them into a formidable force committed to self-reliance, self-determination and nationhood. The UNIA was organized like a nation in-waiting with military, economic/commercial, educational, health, religious and administrative divisions. He also created literature, music, images and symbols, designed to promote pride and unity. For example, the Universal Ethiopian Anthem was adopted as the official song of the organization.
But, the most powerful and lasting symbol of unity that Garvey presented and bequeathed to African people was a Flag, the Red, Black and Green. Garvey was keenly aware of the psycho-cultural value of symbols to an oppressed/battered people. The Red, Black and Green was officially ratified as the Flag for African people at the 1920 UNIA Convention – which led Garvey to proclaim: “Show me the race or the nation without a flag, and I will show you a race of people without any pride. Aye! In song and mimicry they have said, ‘Every race has a flag but the coon.’ How true! Aye! But that was said of us four years ago. They can’t say it now….”
In the era of the 60’s when Black Power, Black Nationalism and Pan Africanism reemerged as a dominant force in the Black Freedom Struggle in the U.S., the Red, Black and Green was frequently in full flourish at rallies and demonstrations. And, it was common to see sisters and brothers with buttons, hats, scarves and clothing with the colors of the Flag in the design.
I shall never forget the hundreds of Flags waving in the breeze on African Liberation Day in 1972 where some 25,000 gathered in Washington, D.C. to demand the liberation of the last colonies in Africa. It was a glorious site, one Garvey must have been pleased with from his ascendant perch with the ancestors!
