250 Issues of BC: And Going Strong With Your Help By Peter Gamble, BC Publisher

This is issue 250 of BlackCommentator.com. It is the largest issue we have ever published. This issue contains 16 commentaries, (not counting this little notice) one piece of art and three cartoons.

The subject matter and perspectives on issues affecting African Americans are more inclusive than ever with something for any reader who is part of the struggle for economic and social justice and peace.

We hope you will celebrate with us.

We still need your financial help. We are facing a $27,000 shortfall from now until the end of the year. With money getting tight for so many people, the number of new BC Paid Subscribers and BC Contributors is way down. Please become a BC Paid Subscriber, or send what you can as a BC Contributor.
