A Few of Our Everyday Heroes

By Carla Thomas

In these sometimes difficult times, the news rarely brings us reports of those things, those good things, our everyday heroes do for the community. We hear about conflict, violence, confrontations and increasingly, racial strife, especially considering our current political situation.

We’ve taken an old adage “driving while black” and adapted it to fit the current series of confrontations. One can barely turn on the news or scroll social media without finding a story of a black person being detained and questioned by police for barbequing “while black,” selling lemonade “while black,” or simply cutting their own d@#n grass “while black.”

Undaunted, most of our citizens continue to live productive lives “while black.” Here are a few of our everyday heroes who use their skills and training to make a positive impact on their communities. Meet Battalion Chief David Hitt; Dr. Michael Stubblefield; Real Estate Broker Emory Whittington, III and Detective Brandon Harrison who, in their professional capacities, are working, thriving, serving, and giving “while black.”
