As we pause to "CELEBRATE BLACK HISTORY MONTH" let's not forget to show appreciation to people who are making history right now. Over the course of the next few weeks, we're going to be highlighting successful people who are "MODERN-DAY TRAILBLAZERS" in their own right. That being said, today we're featuring Judge Jeralynn Manor, Judge Lucia Bates, Judge Sedrick T. Walker, II, Judge Dedra Davis, Constable Herschel Smith, Attorney Glenda Duru, Judge DaSean Jones, and Attorney Ieshia Champs.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A MODERN-DAY TRAILBLAZER?
When I was growing up, all I heard about in school during "BLACK HISTORY MONTH" were people who were dead and gone. But don't get me wrong, I enjoyed learning about people like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, Madame C.J. Walker, Ida B. Wells-Barrett, Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, Rosa Parks, and Carter G. Woodson. Now, while I was inspired by learning about the history of my people, I become empowered when I began to hear stories of people who were still alive, doing great things, and "BLAZING A TRAIL" that I could see, and long to follow. Yep, people like Oprah Winfrey, General Collin Powell, Maya Angelou, Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, Shirley Chisholm, Dorothy Height, Jesse Owens, Robert L. Johnson, and Johnson, Earl Graves.
WE MUST FOCUS OUR ATTENTION ON LEAVING OUR WORLD A BETTER PLACE
As a child growing up, I always wanted to make my mark on the world, leave a legacy, and make a difference in the lives of others. I was always told that I was going to grow up and do great things. However, life for me as a child wasn't easy. But everything changed for me when I was sent to live with my grandparents in Prairie View, Texas. Once there, my grandfather, who was a Baptist minister, and "WORLD WAR II VETERAN" gave me the stability that I needed, and forced me to get up in the morning, work hard during the day, and learn about successful people.
ROBERT SENGSTACKE ABBOTT
(1870-1940)
(1870-1940)
AUBREY R. TAYLOR: "This is what freedom looks like, in my opinion. Believe it or not, we're all going to one day be remembered for what we're doing right now. So, just like I gained inspiration from learning about Robert Sengstacke Abbott's creativity and vision, someone out there is watching us, and wanting to be like us when they grow up. That being said, I owe a debt of gratitude to people like Robert Sengstacke Abbott, who founded the Chicago Defender weekly newspaper way back in 1905. In case you don't know him, Abbott played a very important role when it came to encouraging African Americans to migrate from the deep South and pursue better economic opportunities up north. So, just like Robert Sengstacke Abbott encouraged my people to pursue greater economic opportunities, during his lifetime, my mission has, and always will be, to encourage my readers to "PUT PEOPLE OVER POLITICS" as we strive to put duly-qualified "PUBLIC SERVANTS" into positions of authority."

We Must Make it Our Business to Put "People Over Politics" in the 2022 Midterm Election & Beyond...
AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©
Make no mistake about it, who the people of Harris County, Texas choose to give another term to in 2022 must be about substance, job performance, judicial temperament, competence, and whether or not our members of the judiciary are following the law with their rulings. And that being said, in the upcoming 2022 Midterms, it is incumbent upon the voters of Harris County to evaluate the job performance of each and every sitting "ELECTED OFFICIAL" on a case-by-case basis and not as a group based on their political party affiliation, ethnicity, or gender.
