Eldridge David Gibbs Jr.’s newly released «My Story» is a captivating account of a young boy in a time when the world was too cruel for a child

MEADVILLE, Pa., Aug. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — «My Story: The Early Years A Story of Life»: a beautiful autobiography that highlights the events of the 1940s and how they impacted today’s world from a young boy’s perspective. «My Story: The Early Years A Story of Life» is the creation of published author Eldridge David Gibbs Jr., a native of Augusta, Georgia. After serving almost eight years in the Army Reserves, he was recruited into restaurant management while living in Atlanta by Marriott.
Gibbs Jr. shares, «This is an unfolding, entertaining story of an early life of a young boy in the forties, which were WWII war years. Many of the topics were recalled from memories of experience, and some were stories remembered that had been shared by others. They are stories of learning, sometimes the hard way, and reveal much about interacting with others in the rapidly changing life of a child. Most of these shared memories involve family life and relationships. It is vividly revealed that family and church seemed a much larger part of life then than now. You may feel some shared emotions, and depending upon your age, you may even relate to some of the shared experiences as you read. You may see a country of change, especially economically, as many of today’s changes are results of America’s involvement in WWII. These changes may seem less eventful than current day changes we undergo today, in the twenty-first century, but these changes laid a foundation for many of today’s evolving world. Much of this book is presented with subtle humor. It is not presented as a spiritual ‘Bible study’ but personal spiritual relationship has a noticeably underlying presence as you travel the experiences of this life adventure.»
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Eldridge David Gibbs Jr.’s new book is a well-written manuscript sharing the life of one person growing up in a world where there’s always danger and chaos. Here, readers will also get to understand how events of the past led the modern world to become how it is today.

RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif., Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — With a commitment to advance the interest of the Nigerian-American community, the Nigerian-Americans United Political Action Committee (NAUPAC) is being launched. NAUPAC is a political enlightenment organization that is established to mobilize all naturalized Nigerian-Americans and the younger generations of Nigerians born in the United States of America for a collective and uniform political outlook in the forthcoming presidential election. In a statement credited to Christian N. Ihenacho, the Executive Director of NAUPAC, he described NAUPAC as «a movement on a mission to reach out to the Nigerian-American Community in the United States of America and to encourage them to register and vote for Joe Biden in the upcoming November 2020 Presidential Election.»

Nigerian-Americans constitute a small number of all immigrant groups in the United States but have been identified as the most educated immigrant community with an average of a Bachelor’s degree or higher. Nigerians in the United States also earn an income well above the national average and contribute a significant amount of their earnings in taxes into the United States treasury. Despite these accomplishments, the outcome from previous elections has shown that the Nigerian-American Community is lacking in collective political thinking and action, which consequently makes them vulnerable to internal political divisions, vote splits, and of little political relevance.

In light of this new reality and the critical nature of the 2020 Presidential Election, the founders of NAUPAC have resolved to change the dynamics and pattern of voting within the Nigerian-American Community by campaigning for massive registration and voting by members the Community for Joe Biden, in whom their collective interest and safety are best guaranteed. The movement is committed to the ideals of the United States of America that all man is created equal with alienable rights, free from systemic and institutional racism, discrimination, and inequality. With a collective action towards the election of a new President of the United States and a congress that holds the aforementioned societal values in high regard, the Nigerian-American community can make a significant contribution to the actualization of America that will protect Civil Liberties, the Voting Rights Act, and promote Racial Equality.

We, therefore, call on all Nigerian-American, the greater African-American community, and all other groups with whom we share a common dream and aspiration to be a part of our efforts by registering with us at www.nigerianamericansunited.org. You can also mail us at: info@nigerianamericansunited.org with your comments or inquiries.

ALBANY, N.Y., Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — On Monday, Aug. 1, Dr. Joshua Eisen accepted the nomination of the independent ‘Education. Community. Law.‘ line, and will appear on the ballot in the race to represent New York’s 17th congressional district. Dr. Eisen submitted over 5,200 signatures on his petitions to qualify for the November ballot, more than double the 2,450 required. Dr. Eisen collected more than all other independent candidates for any office in New York State.

Dr. Eisen filed a suit in federal court against Governor Cuomo challenging the collection of in-person handwritten signatures, at a time people are asked to handle business virtually. The suit also challenged the governor’s COVID-19-related executive orders reducing signature requirements by 70% for party-affiliated candidates but only by 30% for independent candidates. The federal suit exposed the hypocrisy of other executive orders allowing virtual notaries, eliminating signature requirements for school board elections and other accommodations while making none for the independent petitioning process.

«This is a win for democracy,» Dr. Eisen stated. «This enables us to continue the fight against the establishment to better serve our constituents.»

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Presented by March For Our Lives & Sankofa.org, INTO ACTION is a celebration of community power and cultural resistance that spans August 2020 and brings together hundreds of our nation’s most prolific and talented visual artists, young activists, musicians, poets, policymakers and community leaders. Even as our cities literally smolder and our leadership fails us, we will come together to lift our voices, assert our rights, reclaim our power, and manifest a vision for our future where everyone can live with dignity, freedom, and hope.

Four days of programming streams including panel discussions, live performances, and dynamic community-building activities await. Together we will lift our voices, have brave conversations, face the pain and beauty of the last few years while planning and organizing for the upcoming election. 

For those who aren’t registered to vote, they can do so in less than two minutes via March For Our Lives

INTO ACTION consists of four events which are centered around key social justice moments in August:

  • TAKE BLACK THE VOTE (August 6, 2020)
    • August 6th marks the 55th Anniversary of the Voting Rights Act. We will kick off the INTO ACTION with a broadcast from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, Atlanta, Milwaukee, Miami, New Orleans, Los Angeles, Washington DC and other locations focused building black political power, mobilizing the vote and honoring the legacy and the ongoing work to address issues of voter suppression and the ongoing battle for voting rights, particularly for the BIPOC community.

      In the legacy of the great cultural movement that drove the Voting Rights Act, we will celebrate this day with high profile speakers, thought-provoking panel discussions, intimate interviews, musical performances, spoken word and visual art – mixing the wisdom of our elder organizers with the next generation of leaders taking the reins to fight for justice.

      • Featuring: John Legend, Stacey Abrams, Common, Philip Agnew, Chuck D, Billy Porter, Christian McBride, Usher, Kendrick Sampson, The Wide Awakes featuring the Blacksmiths, Sweet Honey in the Rock, Mumu Fresh, Ashlee Marie Preston, Leah Daughtry and more.

  • OUR VOICE OUR POWER (August 12, 2020)
    • From climate justice to ending mass incarceration, from gun violence to rising student debt, young people are showing up to face these challenges, showing up to vote and taking the future into our own hands. We will continue to push everyone to be better, to take seriously our legacy and to take on problems you wrote off as insurmountable. On International Youth Day, we bring together young leaders from across the intersecting movements they lead and celebrate the young people who are stepping into power and using their voice to demand justice.
  • RATIFIED (August 18, 2020)
    • Black Lives Matter was created by three black women. The climate justice movement is being driven by women. The fight to end mass incarceration and deportation is being driven by women.  In fact, women drive social and cultural change – period. Yet, inequity persists. From pay to power, from self-determination to protecting the air we all breathe, we will celebrate the women who continue to drive change in and out of government. We will explore the beautiful struggle of political, organizing, and emotional work that women leaders carry, look back at how much we have achieved, and recommit to changing all that still must evolve.

MILWAUKEE, Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — National CBD Day is August 8, 2020. The team at FAB CBD is joining in on the celebration by offering customers a discount on products as well as some fun CBD-based recipes that can be found directly on FAB’s blog.

FAB, best known for its top-rated CBD products, offers customers a fantastic selection of high-quality offerings to choose from. FAB has a line of organic full-spectrum oils in varying strengths and flavors, CBD Chews, a CBD topical cream, CBD dog treats, and even a line of CBD-free green superfoods.

National CBD Day was first designated by the National Day Calendar on August 8, 2018, and as such, this special day celebrates all things CBD. National CBD Day is the perfect opportunity to positively reflect on how CBD has helped you in some way. It’s also a great time to share some information about CBD and its benefits with others. Finally, National CBD Day is an amazing excuse to give some delicious CBD-based recipes and beverages a try! Be sure to visit the FAB CBD blog for some delicious dessert recipes as well as recipes for other tasty treats.

National CBD Day, though somewhat new, joins other notable days for CBD oil and cannabis including 4/20 and 7/10. While 4/20 for cannabis first came about in the 1970s, 7/10, or Cannabis Oil Day, has only been around for the last seven years. In contrast to the other two dates, National CBD Day was created by a CBD manufacturer based out of North Carolina. The company was able to do that through an online application with National Day Calendar, a firm based out of North Dakota that promotes national holidays through media sources. The application then needs to be approved by National Day Calendar’s four-person committee.

Regardless of how National CBD Day came about, it’s still a great way to celebrate CBD while taking advantage of FAB CBD’s sale and recipe offerings. Don’t let National CBD Day pass you by. Start planning for it now by heading over to FAB’s website to pick out some products.
