Is it possible to commit thirty-three separate murders and get away with it? One of America’s most famous serial killers was very close to doing just that. John Wayne Gacy, Jr. has to be considered one of our nations most notorious and evil serial killers of all time. He murdered and sexually assaulted 33 young men between the years of 1972-1978. Gacy was finally arrested and sentenced to death on March 13, 1980. The most surprising thing of all about Gacy was that people considered him an…

Just as Black females come in all shape, sizes and shades of color, there is no one box that can contain a Black woman’s sexuality. Since slavery days, there has been a suppressive chain placed by society dictating that Black women were either sex toys for someone else’s pleasure or an asexual laborer that could be treated even worse than a Black man. Sojourner Truth described the reality of being a Black female in 1851 with “Ain’t I a Women?” declaring that can work just has hard as man and her…

That’s what happened in the garden of Eden. But prior to this in-cident occurring Lucifer, was expelled or as we like to say kicked out of heaven because he wanted to be God. He was created by God and he wanted to be God to be worshipped as God was being worshipped by the angels he had created. But God is God and he will not share his glory with another. Earth became corrupt because of the pronouncement of God upon it. Man would now have to live by the sweat of his brow. No longer could he walk…

and responsibilities in identifying and dealing with child abuse.], sexual abuse is the “appropriate adolescent or adult sexual behavior with a parent”. It includes touching a child’s private areas, kissing, exposure to pornography, incest, rape, sodomy, and sexual exploitation. It had been documented that “more than one in three children aged 11-17 (34%) who experienced sexual contact by an adult did not tell anyone about it” (Radford, 2011).
