By Lucius Gantt – I recently attended the home going services for Connie Tucker, a true revolutionary in every sense of the phrase. I didn’t know Connie personally but I knew a lot about her. Almost everyone in the Black power movement, the Pan African movement, the Black activist movement, the Environmental Rights movement, the […]
Gantt Report
Urban Uprisings – By Lucius Gantt
(The Gantt Report)- I told you what would happen and you read it in the paper but all you could say was Lucius is a hater. America’s so called Black community leaders can’t draw flies to an outhouse but every time a young Black man gets beaten, chocked, shot or gets his back broken, hand-picked […]
The Treatment of the First African American female Nominee for Attorney General, Loretta Lynch
I called both of my senators today to find out whether they planned to vote to confirm Loretta Lynch for Attorney General. Senator Perdue’s office said “no” and there was no changing his mind. I held out hope that our senior Senator Isakson would be more thoughtful, after all former Mayor Rudy Giuliani said that […]

You Can’t Go Back – by Lucius Gantt
The Gantt Report – It’s 2014, a new year, a new day and a new time No matter how much you loved the previous year, this year will be different. No matter how much you enjoyed 2013, this year will not be the same. No matter how much you want to replicate, relive it or […]
Blaming the N-words for the N-word – by Lucius Gantt
When I traveled around the southern part of the African continent I saw many, many people that looked like me. Throughout South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana there were dark skinned men and women of African descent but there were no N-words! The alleged use of the N-word by a white professional football player has ignited […]
Is Barack Obama George Bush Dipped In Chocolate? – By Lucius Gantt
The Gantt Report – I am really worried about President Obama. When he first ran for President he was Barack, the proud son of an African man. No disrespect, but now he seems to be acting like Barry, the sheltered son of a Caucasian woman! I know if an African American says anything contrary about […]
