"The Worst of-Best of Times"
I thank God for blessing me to see another day. But amid my joy, I'm sad. I'm sorry, and my heart is broken because of what's going on in my hometown, as well as black communities across America. As I heard a pastor say one Sunday, for us (Black folks), these are the worst of times and the best of times.

The New York Daily News recently ran an exclusive story with the headline “NYC Mayor Adams exploring abandoning current plan to shut down Rikers Island.” This shouldn't come as a surprise. Since taking office, the mayor has worked to undermine the plan. The Adams administration has repeatedly bashed the proposal the City Council approved in 2019 to close the jail complex. Despite the mayor's insistence that he and his team “always follow the law,” they have failed to meet most of the plan's legal deadlines and benchmarks to close Rikers in 2027, as required by law.
