The Impact of Black Females in Entertainment and Politics is Significant; Beyoncé and Local Black Female Judges are Texas Treasures


Unfortunately, Beyoncé was snubbed and didn't get any nominations for her "COWBOY CARTER" country album in connection to the 58th Annual Country Music Awards (CMA), which will be held on November 20, 2024, at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee. However, that isn't stopping Aubrey R. Taylor Communications, the publisher of Houston Business Connections Newspaper©, from thanking her and other local "TRAILBLAZING BLACK WOMEN" for their contributions to inspiring the next generation of leaders in entertainment and politics. IN OTHER NEWS... Aubrey R. Taylor Communications would like to thank Beyoncé and her BeyGOOD Foundation for donating $25,000.00 to our client, Larry Callies, and the Black Cowboy Museum at 1104 3rd Street, Rosenberg, Texas 77471. The museum is open from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and is closed on Sundays and Mondays. General Admission is very reasonable. Call Larry Callies at (281) 787-3308 to schedule a tour.

Beyoncé permitting Vice President Kamala Harris to use her song “FREEDOM” for her 2024 presidential campaign is much better than an endorsement. Why?  Over the years, Beyoncé has maintained strict clearance guidelines regarding using her music, so granting Vice President Harris the right to use “FREEDOM” throughout her 2024 Presidential campaign is a big deal.



Vice President Kamala Harris is a "trailblazer" in every sense of the word, whether you agree with her politics or not. Beyoncé allowed Harris to use her "FREEDOM SONG" during the 2024 presidential election, which gave Harris more excellent connectivity to women of color.



JUDGE JERALYNN MANOR
80th Civil District Court – Harris County

"I've wanted to be a judge since I was seven. I've lived my life in a way that has enabled me, with the help of my LORD AND SAVIOR, to achieve my dream. The road I've traveled has been challenging at times and downright treacherous. But through everything I've been forced to endure, from facing injustice to having to persevere through the heartbreak of losing my dad, whom I loved dearly, I am living proof that God is faithful. Freedom for me is getting up in the morning, getting my daughter off to school, and working as the presiding judge for the 80th Civil District Court. I humbly pray that God Almighty will allow me to continue serving as HIS Minister of Justice."

"COMMUNITY SERVICE."

Jeralynn Manor was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. Her mother was a nurse, and her father was a career officer with the New Orleans Police Department. There, he set the bar high for his daughter. He attained numerous awards and accommodations, including various achievements, such as becoming the first African American counter-sniper for the SWAT department and the first African American diver on the dive team. Judge Jeralynn Manor’s hard work and high goal standards are founded in her bloodline. Manor’s “service to all mankind” mantra and dedication to her craft is evidenced in her career achievements.

Jeralynn Manor studied philosophy at Xavier University in New Orleans before finishing her undergraduate studies in Administration of Justice at Texas Southern University. She went on to Thurgood Marshall School of Law, where she earned the American Juris Prudence Award in Bankruptcy under the tutelage of the Honorable Justice Manual Leal of the Southern District of Texas Bankruptcy Court and won 1st place in the Mock Trial competition. In 2001, Manor earned her Juris Doctorate and became a licensed attorney by the Texas Supreme Court. In her 17-plus years of law practice law, Manor worked in several areas before running for judge. She concentrated her early career as a fee attorney for 3 major title companies. Throughout her fee attorney and escrow practice, Manor closed and played an integral role in helping thousands of Texas to achieve home ownership.

Judge Manor resides in Houston, where she raises her children and continues serving the community on and off the bench.


JUDGE SANDRA J. PEAKE
257th Family District Court – Harris County

“What does freedom mean to me? Freedom today looks much different to me than it used to. Freedom is a feeling of optimism, of the confidence that adversity can be overcome, that the people around you can define the dream of freedom for themselves individually, and to be able to visualize actualizing those dreams for themselves and their families. Freedom is reflected in a feeling of hope and empowerment in organizations I am proud to be a member of. The organizations I cling to strive to serve the communities in which we live, raise our families, worship, and work. It also means that I can experience freedom in seeing progress. Improvements in our justice system, housing, educational achievements demonstrated by graduations at various levels, scholarship opportunities, employment opportunities, and a more equal playing field while competing for even greater opportunities. All these things point to significant progress, greater freedoms for more people, and improved quality of life. Visible and steady progress towards these goals means freedom to me.”


JUDGE LUCIA G. BATES
Harris County Justice of the Peace,
Precinct 3, Place 2

“Freedom to me means that I can express myself and my opinions while exercising diplomacy. Having the freedom to pursue positions that have been historically unheard of and unattainable. Freedom allows me to enhance my creativity and appreciate my uniqueness unabashedly. Freedom also means overcoming obstacles despite lacking what others perceive as absolute, allowing me to continue my daily responsibilities of serving my community while being compassionate and keeping my integrity intact. Freedom allows me to compete with myself and always remember who paved the way to make my impossibilities possible.”


JUDGE GRAVES-HARRINGTON
246th Family District Court – Harris County

“Freedom is the absence of mental or physical enslavement. Freedom is the ability to boldly walk into your destiny without being tied to the expectations or doubts of others. Freedom is realizing one’s full potential and the right to exist authentically. Freedom is “an absolute equality of personal rights.” Freedom is, quite simply, being free.”


JUDGE GENESIS DRAPER
County Criminal Court at Law No. 12

“Many of us think of freedom as being free from physical confinement, but true freedom is being free from oppression and having the opportunity to reach your full potential. Our right to assemble, right to vote, right to free speech, and right to religion serve one purpose: to guard against oppression. Just like we celebrate Juneteenth and the physical freedom it granted, let us also celebrate the power in our voice, vote, and values. Using these tools opens the doors of possibility for our and our children’s children.”


JUDGE LASHAWN A. WILLIAMS
County Civil Court at Law No. 3

“I cannot help but think of Freedom in two contexts: one as a free black woman, descendent of slaves, and the other as having freedom of thought and spirit... both essential to who I am and how I live. As a free black woman in what I consider to be the best country in the world, I appreciate what it took to create our system of government, for me to be an elected official now, to love whom I choose, to care for my body as I choose, and to be able to worship the God I serve in the way that I choose. So, I am conscious of protecting all that has been won, lost, and yet to be in the name of freedom in the world. In terms of my freedom of mind and spirit, I try to live free from mindsets that restrict or vex my spirit. I am also grateful and fully appreciative that I am free! We cannot celebrate freedom without Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who said: “Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic…Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.” Therefore, we are free to love, fight for justice, and pursue “power correcting everything that stands against love.”...and I would add freedom.”


JUDGE MICHELLE MOORE
314th Juvenile District Court – Harris County

“Freedom to me means being your true authentic self. It means to live life on your terms without restrictions or being confined to what others think you should be. Freedom means pursuing your dreams and making your own life choices without the fear of condemnation.”


JUDGE NIKITA V. HARMON
176th Criminal District Court – Harris County

“No idea is more fundamental to me as an American and as an individual than freedom. Freedom means the power or right to act, speak, or think freely without governmental hindrance or restraint. It means you can share your opinion with others even if they disagree.

Freedom does not mean the absence of authority or the right to do whatever one pleases—far from it. However, it entails the privileges enumerated in the Bill of Rights—freedom of speech, the press, assembly, and religion.”


JUDGE SHANNON BALDWIN
County Criminal Court at Law No. 4

“Freedom means the ability to have choices without restraint. Typically, I’ve always associated freedom of choice with education. The better your education, the better your options are, and the more freedom you achieve. While that is true, I’ve learned that we still have a long way to go to attain absolute freedom. Our society must strive to achieve freedom for ALL of our marginalized communities. We should eliminate homelessness, focus on mental health, and ensure that wealth does not determine a person’s value. One’s sexual preference or identity should not be life-threatening!

Your rights end where the next person’s rights begin!”


JUDGE TORIA J. FINCH
County Criminal Court at Law No. 9

“Notwithstanding that the literal meaning of freedom is defined as the state of not being imprisoned or enslaved when I think of what freedom means to me personally, I immediately think of sacrifices. Freedom never stands alone in my mind, but it is accompanied by thoughts of longsuffering and sacrifices. Since the beginning of time, the freedoms that we at times carelessly possess, whether it is the freedom of physical liberties, the freedom of thought, the freedom of religion, the freedom to love, or the freedom to simply exist in space and time without inequality or injustice, it all has been achieved at the expense of the many sacrifices of those that came before us. The many women and men continue to fight for us on the grand stages of the world's battlefields, and our local communities also come to mind when I think about freedom. Although easily taken for granted, freedom is something that if we don’t continue to vigorously protect, we stand to lose because, unfortunately, freedom is just not free.”


JUDGE LINDA DUNSON
309th Family District Court  – Harris County
 
“Freedom means being truly unshackled. Unshackled so that my mind can dream dreams; Unshackled so that opportunity is an open door; Unshackled so that I can embrace humanity in all of its gore; Unshackled so that I am seen instead of looked at; Unshackled so that I am not one of a few; Unshackled so that I can love freely; Unshackled so that I may serve my God without offending; Unshackled so that wealth, health and justice are not kept from me; Unshackled so that "all men are created equal" is truth instead of an ideal; Unshackled so that the chains are forever shattered to the point that I don't ever even remember being shackled…That's FREEDOM.”

The Impact of Black Females in Entertainment and Politics is Significant; Beyoncé and Local Black Female Judges are Texas Treasures

AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©

There are some genuinely ignorant people in our world today. Beyoncé's not being nominated for any awards at the forthcoming Country Music Awards (CMA) in November 2024 wasn’t that surprising to me. However, Luke Bryan's comments were some of the most asinine words I’ve heard in quite some time.

“Everybody loved that Beyonce made a country album. Nobody’s mad about it. But where things get a little tricky…if your’re gonna make a country album, come into our worlds and be country with a us a little bit,” explained Luke Bryan, a country sorta comes off as racist to a certain extent.

Luke, a two-time County Music Award winner at the very least, was highly insensitive and naïve. Luke Bryan is devoid of information. Bryan and other country music stars may not realize that “Cowboy Carter” was created for this moment in time for reasons like this.

For the record, country music is a genre; stories about who started the genre may differ depending on who you talk to. However, according to my research, the genre began in West Africa. So, Luke Bryan's assertion that Beyoncé should come into his world is the words of a man who doesn’t fully understand the history of the country music genre.

“REALLY BIG DEAL.”

Many of you may have heard about “GLOBAL SENSATION” Beyoncé permitting Vice President Kamala Harris to use her song “FREEDOM” for her 2024 presidential campaign. Over the years, Beyoncé has maintained strict clearance guidelines regarding using her music, so granting Vice President Harris the right to use “FREEDOM” throughout her campaign is a big deal.

Beyoncé’s mother (TINA Knowles) has fully endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris (Democrat) over former President Donald Trump, a Republican. Still, her hit single “FREEDOM,” which features Kendrick Lamar from her “Lemonade,” album has given Vice President Harris’s campaign a boost that could be more powerful among African American women than if Beyoncé an individual endorsement.

“ENDORSEMENT WATCH.”

A few of the notable stars who are embracing “FREEDOM” by endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris’s history-making ambition of becoming the first female President of the United States are Aly & AJ, Ariana Grande, Barbra Streisand, Beyoncé (kinda sorta), Billie Eilish & Finneas, Bon Iver, Cardi B, Carole King, Charli XCX, Demi Lovato, Foo Fighters, Jason Isbell, James Taylor, Jermaine Dupri, John Legend, Katy Perry, Kesha, Lance Bass, Lil Jon, Lil Nas X, Linda Ronstadt, Lizo, Maren Morris, Maxwell, Megan Thee Stallion, Mickey Guyton, Moby, New Radicals, Nick Offerman, Oliva Rodrigo, Patti LaBelle, Pink, Quavo, Questlove, Steve Nicks, Stevie Wonder, Taylor Swift, and Tina Knowles.

What is freedom?

To me, “FREEDOM” is getting up in the morning and speaking my mind without being afraid or hindered by what other people may do to try to silence me. The foundation of “OUR NATION” has been built upon the pillars of “FREEDOM OF SPEECH” and “FREEDOM OF THE PRESS,” which our founding forefathers embedded into the First Amendment of our United States Constitution.

What are we left with if we, as Americans, relinquish our right to speak our minds freely? I mean, really?

If one person loses their ability to speak their mind, we’ve all lost the ability to express our opinion. In reality, “FREEDOM OF SPEECH” is the bedrock of our democracy. Anyone who infringes upon any American’s right to freely articulate their opinion and ideas is a real threat to our democracy.

One of the things I love about Larry Callies is that he’s not afraid to speak his mind. I recently visited the Texas Supreme Court building with Callies to hear him testify before the State Commissioner on Judicial Conduct.

While before the commission, Callies testified about how he was mistreated by a Fort Bend County judge, who enabled his ex-wife and others to steal his home and property away from him. Callie’s story is heartbreaking but empowering at the same time.

“HOW WE MET.”

“My name is Larry Callies. I own the Black Cowboy Museum in Rosenberg, Texas,” read an email I received a few weeks ago from Callies. “I came across your blog, and part of the story I read talked about corrupt judges and the corruption of a two-tiered judicial system.”

According to Callies, he has witnessed and has collected proof that our judicial system victimizes Black people. Yes, I know that’s a bold statement, but Larry Callies has a ‘First Amendment Right’ to make this statement and should be able to do so without fear of being retaliated against.

“I would like to invite you to talk about it with me and tour my museum while you’re here,” he continued.

After a few exchanges with Mr. Callies, I took him up on his offer to visit his Black Cowboy Museum to discuss his situation. After several hours of meeting with Callies, I was appalled and saddened by what I heard about his property (by his account) being stolen.

“PLIGHT OF BLACKS.”

No other race of people is disproportionately treated in the American legal system than African Americans – that’s the honest to God’s truth.

A new study I ran that was conducted by Michael & Associates Law Firm in Austin, Texas, uncovered that since 2009, Texas has spent nearly $100 million in lump sum payments to citizens wrongly convicted and then exonerated in Texas. But what’s more troubling than the amount of money being doled out to the wrongfully convicted is the fact that African American males are the group that’s disproportionately impacted.

On the issue of ethnicity of the exonerees, the study conducted by Michael & Associates Law Firm uncovered more than 61% of those wrongfully convicted were Black – but Blacks only make up about 12% of the population in Texas.

And don’t tell me that the Blacks are disproportionately wrongfully convicted of crimes that they did not commit because Blacks are committing more crimes than other ethnic groups – because the math does not add up.

Texas has a flawed system, so It needs a sensitive but challenging judiciary that uses even-handed measures when imposing punishment.

We’ve got some folks sitting on benches in parts of Texas who are using their position to ignore what’s playing out in District Attorneys' offices across the Lone Star State.

Inside some Texas counties, our criminal justice system is being treated like a modern-day version of the slave trade where Black males, whether they’re guilty or not, are being auctioned off and sentenced to prison like commodities.

For the 2024-2025 biennium, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) has an $8.5 billion budget, which makes it one of the largest agencies in the State of Texas.

Did you know that the cost of housing prisoners averages $77.49 per day? When you multiply that by 365 days, you get $28,283.87, which is astonishing.

“THE SLAVE TRADE.”

Slavery ended in Texas back on June 19, 1865, when the last Confederate community of enslaved people learned of their freedom two years after other enslaved Americans.

“Neither slave nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for the crime of whom the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction,” states the 13th Amendment to our United States Constitution.

Why am I talking about this today? America is on the cusp of potentially making history, and “OUR HISTORY” must be accurately recorded as this pivotal moment unfolds.

When it comes down to it, most Americans’ vision is the image of the Lone Ranger and his sidekick, Tonto, riding off into the sunset when they hear the term Cowboy. While that image comes to mind, the Lone Ranger and Tonto are merely symbols that have been etched and branded into our consciousness by Hollywood ‘story-tellers’ who identify with their culture—the culture of white and Native Americans.

But there’s a gem tucked away in Rosenberg, Texas, with a different story – one of men of a different hue riding off into the sunset. Founded by Larry Callies, The Black Cowboy Museum is preserving the legacy of America’s Black Cowboy – an untold story that Hollywood has ignored and ‘story-tellers’ haven’t fully embraced or appreciated.

At the Black Cowboy Museum located at 1104 3rd St, Rosenberg, Texas 77471, Larry Callies allows his museum patrons to step into the boots of Bass Reeves, Nat Love, and Bill Pickett.

“Reeves, Love, and Picket are the cowboys who shaped our history,” says Callies. “And in my opinion, these men also shape our future, a future that’s still unfolding.”

Who invented the telephone?

Depending on who you ask, the names you hear may differ. Ask your history school teacher and the name you will more often than not be that of Alexander Graham Bell – the man widely credited with developing the world’s first working telephone.

Gram Bell’s patent, received on March 7, 1876, is the first on record. Still, according to Callies, it was Lewis Howard Latimer, a Black man who possessed a keen understanding of the technology that led to the invention of the telephone as we know it today.

Not to take anything away from Alexander Graham Bell, at the Black Cowboy Museum, Larry Callies likes to tell the untold stories of the contribution “OUR PEOPLE” made that have gone ignored, omitted, and, in some ways, distorted in history books.

“African Americans are proud, but our true heritage isn’t known,” says Callies. “I’m telling our story at my museum – our history lives on through the museum I founded.”

Larry Callies is a proud cowboy – but he credits himself with being a man of God first. “Here Comes Larry Callies, “STEPPING OUT IN FAITH,” is the title of his book.

“Larry Callies proudly shares the hidden history of the “BLACK COWBOY” with visitors of his visitors from around the county and the world” is emblazoned on the back cover.

When I first visited his Black Cowboy Museum, he said, “I am a Christian first and a Cowboy second.”

You don’t have to press Callies on where his strength comes from because his faith in God shines through his eyes. He credits God Almighty with being his sustainer.

His Black Cowboy Museum is (a 501 C3 Non-profit Organization) to which he’s dedicated his life. “My museum focuses on preserving historical documents, memorabilia, artifacts, and pictures highlighting the rich history and amazing stories of the Black Cowboy of the Old West,” he says.

“Highlighting the contributions of the true Cowboys is extremely important to me,” says Callies. “The Black Cowboy Museum I’ve founded exhibits the contributions, history, and cultures of all cowboys of the ‘OLD WEST,’ especially the amazing Cowboys of the great state of Texas,” he proudly proclaims.

Affectionally known as “COWBOY LARRY” by locals, Larry Callies is quickly gaining notoriety and popularity around the globe by the grace of God.

Born in November 1952 in El Campo, Texas, Callies graduated from Boling High School and attended Wharton Junior College before pursuing a County Western Singing Career.

As the legend goes, Larry Callies and The Bronco Band performed in many venues before he lost his voice. At one point in his career, the same manager managed Callies and George Strait, a famous country music singer, songwriter, actor, and producer.

If you aren’t familiar with country music stars, Strait sold more than 120 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling artists ever.

As for Larry Callies, “Some of his many singing engagements were before government officials including President George W. Bush, Governor Ann Richards, and many other local and state officials, as well as a litany of Houston Mayors,” his book states.

During his competitive career, Callies was an accomplished rodeo calf and team roping Cowboy in his own right. He won a heap of trophies, championship belt buckles, and piles of cash.

Larry Callies is tremendously proud to have been featured in the New York Times, Texas Monthly, the Houston Chronicle, and other publications worldwide.

“BEYGOOD FOUNDATION.”

Aside from being a world-renowned entertainer before losing his voice, Larry Callies loved to listen to country music. Speaking of country music, he loves Beyoncé – but who doesn’t?

I was disappointed to see Beyoncé snubbed by the Country Music Awards this year. Especially since she has one of the biggest country hits of 2024 with ‘Texas Hold Em’ – but that’s a story for another day.

As a testament to Beyoncé’s awesomeness, she should be recognized more for her generosity and desire to lift others through her philanthropic endeavors.

“We are excited to inform you the Black Cowboy Museum has been selected to receive a $25,000 grant as part of the BeyGOOD Foundation’s Black Equestrian program, initiated by Ms. Beyoncé Knowles-Carter,” read the letter Larry Callies received on Saturday, August 2024.

The letter from the BeyGOOD Foundation continued, “We recognize the tremendous contributions and rich legacy that Black cowboys, cowgirls, ranchers, and farmers have and continue to make in our society.”

“Our Black Equestrian program aims to celebrate your amazing work in educating through storytelling, activations, and the preservation and advancement of history,” the letter to the Black Cowboy Museum continued.

The $25,000 grant recently awarded to the Black Cowboy Museum is part of an ongoing partnership with the Bill Pickett Invitational Rodeo Foundation to provide grants to ranchers in California, Georgia, South Carolina, Texas, and Oklahoma.

“KNOW YOUR HISTORY.”

Women like global entertainment icon Beyoncé, Vice President Kamala Harris, Honorable Jacquie Baly-Craig, Judge Jeralynn Manor, Judge Nikita Harmon, Judge Angela Graves Harrington, Judge Genesis Draper, Judge Toria Finch, Judge Michelle Moore, Judge Sandra Peake, Judge Lina Dunson, Judge Sonya Heath, Judge Lashawn Williams, and Judge Lucia Bates, have broken glass ceilings in the worlds of entertainment and politics – let’s keep things rolling along as God’s plan for America continues to unfold.

“EMPOWER YOURSELF.”

We must empower ourselves by learning the whole “BREATH OF AMERICAN HISTORY” by listening to people like Larry Callies with an open mind. The Black Cowboy Museum, located at 1104 3rd Street, Rosenberg, Texas 77471, is open from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and is closed on Sundays and Mondays. General Admission is very reasonable. Call Larry Callies at (281) 787-3308 to schedule a tour.

“VOTE WITH INTENTION.”

Early voting in the Lone Star State will begin on Monday, October 21, 2024, and end on Friday, November 1, 2024. We must endeavor to vote with intention on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, in Texas.

As American history continues to unfold, every warm-blooded citizen of our great nation is strongly encouraged to treat “ELECTION DAY 2024” as a day of action and intentionality as God’s plan for America continues to be revealed.
