Augusta civil rights leader explains Kellogg project to reduce violence, improve l...
Several black-colleges in Georgia - including Paine College in Augusta - are partners in a new project to lower violence, reduce the influence of gangs and drugs, increase quality of life, proviide HIV/AIDS information and provide access to healthcare facilities for low-income and underserved residents
The three-year project is funded by a $255,000 grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation,
"We have identified violence as a public health issue," said Rev. Terence A. Dicks, chairman of New Tools New Vision Augusta in an interview with the United Methodist News Service.
New Tools, New Vision is teaming the resources of the Southeast Community Research Center, the Research Center on Health Disparities at Morehouse College in Atlanta and four communities surrounding historically black colleges and universities in Georgia.
In addition to Paine (a United Methodist school), other colleges participating include Morehouse College in Atlanta, Savannah State University, Albany State University and Fort Valley State University.
The Kellogg grant will build problem-solving partnerships in several cities including Augusta where Paine College faculty will work with inner city communities residents are victims of violence, plagued by youth gangs and are witnesses to a dramatic rise in gun crimes (30901, 30906 zip codes).
Augusta is home to the prestigious and exclusive Masters Golf Tournament at the famous Augusta National Golf Club - that's a rich enclave located near some of Augusta's poorest communities.
The excellent story is written by UMNS Reporter Linda Green
Rev. Dicks is well known for his civil rights work in Georgia and recently served as chair of the Augusta Human Relations Commission and is chair of the Georgia Clients Council.
He co-organized the original 1986 James Brown Appreciation day in Augusta, the first time the town had honored the late Godfather of Soul. Several black-colleges in Georgia - including Paine College in Augusta - are partners in a new project to lower violence, reduce the i... more -

James Brown and Al Sharpton collabo
Who knew that in 1981 James Brown made a CD featuring the Reverend Al Sharpton?
Just came across this looking for pictures of the Rev on Google. Amazing pairing, I think. Definitely going to buy this CD. It would be great to see such pairings continue today. It is hard to see any credible politician or religious figure doing something with Ja Rule or Kanye West. But how about a pairing of Common and Cynthia Chestnut? Something like that would be rather amazing. Unlikely politicians of today would do it, as everyone is so concerned with being as central as possible so as to maintain a wide constituency. Ridiculous. Click on the cd in the linked page, there is a song sample there. Who knew that in 1981 James Brown made a CD featuring the Reverend Al Sharpton? ... more -
