And he became one of the early founders with us of the Black Community, Clergy and Labor Alliance (BCCLA), a Black united front engaged in the advancement of the interests of Black workers and the well-being of the Black community as a whole, and we served as co-chairs until his passing.
Writing from the life he lived, the work he did and the struggle he waged as an all-seasons soldier, Larry, reporting from the frontlines writes, “I wrote a lot on education because I do much of my work in this area and think it is critical to the development and success of our young people and the community as a whole.”
A long-time union activist, Larry wrote on labor issues and worked within and with unions and community organizations to achieve employment and economic justice, equity and empowerment initiatives for Black workers and the Black community.
In addition, he served as vice-president of the A. Phillip Randolph Institute, member of the founding committee of the Los Angeles Black Workers Center, and again is a founding member of BCCLA, dedicated to the economic and related life issues of the Black community.

The South African Federation of Trade Unions (Saftu) says it will shut down the Port Elizabeth district office of the Department of Health after two nurses from the Zwide Clinic died and at least 11 others tested positive for the coronavirus.
After the outbreak at the Zwide Clinic, six trade unions from different sides of the political spectrum joined forces as the \"combined health unions\" and forced the Zwide and KwaZakhele clinics to shut their doors until the buildings were disinfected and all health workers tested negative.
The rest of the Zwide clinic health workers were only tested three days after the death of their colleague but were told to keep working until their results came in.
At the protest, the nurses repurposed the popular struggle song \"Sizo xola kanjani... (How can we be peaceful when... )\" to bemoan the lack of PPE and sanitisers: \"Sizo nursa kanjani i corona (How can we nurse coronavirus patients [when we need nursing procedures
The protest on 11 May resulted in an agreement with the district health office that Zwide Clinic would be closed until thermal infrared thermometers and PPE had been provided, and that union leaders would also be called in to verify that there is enough protective equipment to create a clinically safe space for health workers and patients.
The district health office also sent letters to Covid-19 positive nurses confirming \"permission to de-isolate after Covid-19 positive test\" - in other words, to return to work - but these letters were sent on 16 May to nurses who only began isolating after testing positive on 10 May.

Stone Mountain, Georgia – June 6, 2020 –– Dr. Kenneth L. Samuel (Victory for the World Church) challenged the nation’s leadership to practice Christian principals and condemn racism in the oppression and killing of Black people.
In his sermon on Sunday, June 7, the Pastor of the Victory for the World Church located in Stone Mountain, GA, raises questions that are juxtaposed against the federal government’s position of indifference toward the continual dying of Black men at the hands of the police force across America.
An excerpt from Dr. Samuel’s writings asks, “A gun in the hand of a White American is a badge of freedom.
A gun in the hand of a Black American is a license to kill or incarcerate.
Dr. Samuel challenges the President of the United States as well as local and state leadership to listen to his sermon “No Justice, No Peace” and join the believers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the supporters of the “Black Lives Matter” movement to right the course of this nation to move forward in love and peace.
Martin Luther King Jr., once said, Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable…Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals.
King, the most prominent figure in the modern civil rights movement, worked in the public spotlight for 13 years--from 1955 to 1968--to fight for desegregation of public facilities, voting rights and an end to poverty.
It was men such as Howard Thurman, Mordecai Johnson, Bayard Rustin that introduced and encouraged King to read the teachings of Gandhi.
Benjamin Mays, who was one of Kings greatest mentors, provided King with an understanding of history. Many of Kings speeches are sprinkled with words and phrases originated by Mays.
Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.
While King read many books about Gandhi, it was Howard Thurman who first introduced the concept of nonviolence and civil disobedience to the young pastor.
Thurman, who was King’s professor at Boston University, had travelled internationally during the 1930s. In 1935, he met Gandhi while leading a “Negro Delegation of Friendship” to India. The teachings of Gandhi stayed with Thurman throughout his life and career, inspiring a new generation of religious leaders such as King.
In 1949, Thurman published Jesus and the Disinherited. The text utilized New Testament gospels to support his argument that nonviolence could work in the civil rights movement. In addition to King, men such as James Farmer Jr. were motivated to use nonviolent tactics in their activism.
Thurman, considered one of the most influential African-American theologians of the 20th Century, was born on November 18, 1900, in Daytona Beach, Fl.
Thurman graduated from Morehouse College in 1923. Within two years, he was an ordained Baptist minister after earning his seminary degree from Colgate-Rochester Theological Seminary. He taught at the Mt.
