Lancaster, CA - In March 2007, a little girl named Precious, who was six-years-old at the time, was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a cancerous bone disease. Neighbors, teachers, and relatives noticed a difference in Precious’ play behavior. She limped, dragged her foot, and complained about pain in her leg. But she tried to hide it from her mother, Chemina Hanley.
“After about a month (of unusual behavior), I took her to the doctor,” Hanley said. “I figured, she was in first grade. She probably fell off the monkey bars or something.”

The National Urban League (NUL) projects it will take $150 million to adequately address the issue of Black unemployment in America.
That is the finding released as part of the NUL’s 34th annual State of Black America (SOBA) report last week.
According to Valerie Wilson, vice president of research at the Urban League, this plan is not a first for the 100-year-old civil rights organization.
