IN MEMORIAM: Lakers Legend Kobe Bryant
ARIZONA INFORMANT — “This tragic death of a young man dying in the prime of his life is a reminder to us all of just how precious life really is and how we must all embrace life, love and family and never forget what is really important. “Kobe was a warrior on the basketball court, and he seemed to ease his way into retirement life with the same passion and enthusiasm that we all admired when he was playing in the NBA,” said Danny J. Bakewell, Sr., the chairman and executive publisher of NNPA member newspaper, the Los Angeles Sentinel.

Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant and his daughter, Gianna Maria Onore, were among nine people killed in a helicopter crash on Sunday, January 26, 2020.
Bryant was 41, and his daughter, affectionately known as GiGi, who was only 13.
“As the reports came in on the death of Kobe Bryant, his daughter and the other passengers on board his helicopter we all were shocked and saddened by the news of a life gone far too soon,” stated Danny J. Bakewell, Sr., the chairman and executive publisher of NNPA member newspaper, the Los Angeles Sentinel. “Whether you were a Laker fan or not, the news seemed surreal.”
Bakewell continued:
“This tragic death of a young man dying in the prime of his life is a reminder to us all of just how precious life really is and how we must all embrace life, love and family and never forget what is really important.
“Kobe was a warrior on the basketball court, and he seemed to ease his way into retirement life with the same passion and enthusiasm that we all admired when he was playing in the NBA.
“My thoughts and prayers go out to his parents, his wife, his children and all those who admired Kobe Bryant not only as a basketball star but as a Man, a Son, a Husband and Father.”
Dr. Benjamin F. Chavis, Jr., the president and CEO of the NNPA, said the Black Press joins with the rest of America in mourning Bryant’s death.
“The National Newspaper Publishers Association expresses our profound sympathy and sincerest condolences to the family of Kobe Bryant,” Chavis stated.
Denise Rolark Barnes, the publisher of the Washington Informer also offered her condolences to the Bryant family. “Our hearts cry out for Kobe Bryant and his family,” Rolark Barnes stated. “Our memories of his phenomenal life and career will never die.”
TMZ reported that the 5-time NBA Champion was en route to his Mamba Academy for a basketball practice when the crash occurred. The academy is north of Los Angeles in the city of Thousand Oaks.
In a statement, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said Bryant was a giant who inspired, amazed and thrilled people everywhere. “He will live forever in the heart of Los Angeles and will be remembered through the ages as one of our greatest heroes,” Garcetti stated.
“This is a moment that leaves us struggling to find words that express the magnitude of shock and sorrow we are all feeling right now, and I am keeping Kobe’s entire family in my prayers at this time of unimaginable grief.”
The helicopter, an S-76 owned by Bryant, crashed and caught fire at about 10 a.m. Pacific time, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
Rescue crews were on location within moments, but officials said it was too late to save anyone aboard.
“He’s way too young,” Laker legend Earvin “Magic” Johnson stated. “I was supposed to pass away before him. He’s gone way too soon. It’s a devastating loss for all of us.”
Another Lakers legend, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, who played against Bryant’s father, Joe “Jellybean” Bryant, said he was stunned.
“Most people will remember Kobe as the magnificent athlete who inspired a whole generation of basketball players,” Jabbar tweeted. “But I will always remember him as a man who was much more than an athlete.”
Shaquille O’Neal, who won three NBA titles with Bryant and the Lakers from 2000 to 2002, tweeted that his late and former teammate was much more than an athlete. “He was a family man. That was what we had most in common,” O’Neal wrote. “I would hug his children like they were my own and he would embrace my kids like they were his. His baby girl Gigi was born on the same day as my youngest daughter, Me’Arah.”
Current Lakers star LeBron James was seen leaving the team’s airplane in tears. He didn’t address reporters.
A spokesperson for the Lakers said the team plans to address the heartbreaking matter “soon.”
Ken Miller, the publisher of the Inglewood, California-based NNPA member newspaper, Inglewood Today, said he was also in shock and devastated by the news.
Miller covered Bryant for years for the Los Angeles Sentinel and said the superstar had previously given him his personal cell phone number.
“We are going to do a special edition of our newspaper that will be totally dedicated to Kobe Bryant,” stated Miller, who coincidentally wore a Westchester High School basketball sweatshirt during last week’s NNPA Mid-Winter Training Conference in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The conference concluded just one day before the Bryant tragedy.
Years earlier, Nike outfitted Westchester High School’s basketball players with Kobe Bryant’s Zoom Kobe IV sneakers that matched the Westchester’s black and red colors.
“When Jerry West drafted Kobe at the age of 17, no one knew exactly what the franchise was getting,” Miller stated. “He evolved to [become], I would say, the greatest Laker of them all, and I had the opportunity to cover and meet him personally and at one time just out of the blue as a reporter. I was so starstruck by him by his air, by his intelligence, and he had a reclusiveness to him as well, that I just walked up to him and asked him for his personal cell phone. He gave it to me, and it was at a time when Shaquille O’Neill was gone, and the Lakers had just won three championships. He ultimately wanted to connect with the African American community.”
Born in Philadelphia in 1978, Bryant was initially drafted by the Charlotte Hornets with the 13th overall pick of the 1996 NBA draft, but forced a post-draft trade to the Lakers, stating it was the only team he’d join.
Bryant spent his entire career with the Lakers, winning five NBA championships and the 2008 MVP Award. He topped Michael Jordan for third place on the NBA all-time scoring list in December 2014 and retired in 2016 after scoring 60 points in his final game.
His uniform numbers 8 and 24 were both retired by the franchise, making him the only NBA star to have two numbers retired with the same team. In 2018, Bryant earned an Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film for Dear Basketball.
The late superstar supported at least seven charities and foundations, including After-School All-Stars, Aid Still Required, Cathy’s Kids Foundation, and the Kobe and Vanessa Bryant Family Foundation, where he and his wife are dedicated to improving the lives of youth and families in need, both domestically and globally.
The foundation provides financial resources and develops unique programs that serve to strengthen communities through educational and cultural enrichment opportunities.
Even as a lifelong New York Knicks fan, a team that saw Bryant crush their hopes on many a night, the death of the man known as “The Black Mamba” is as stunning as any this reporter has seen. In 1979, in a similarly shocking tragedy, during a season in which they were trying to defend their World Series title, the New York Yankees lost their beloved captain, Thurman Munson, in a plane crash.
While Munson was only one of the cogs in a Yankee team that had captured back-to-back titles in 1977 and 1978, Bryant was the unquestioned leader of the Lakers, one of the most storied franchises in sports, who turned out such superstars as Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, James Worthy, and Shaquille O’Neal.
“He was the greatest of all Lakers,” Magic Johnson stated
Bryant is survived by his wife, Vanessa Laine Bryant, and children Natalia, Bianka, and Capri.

PRESS ROOM: Civil Rights TV Launches in Selma as the World’s First 24/7 Civil Rights Television Network
ARIZONA INFORMANT — Civil Rights TV operates continuously on the Connect To Your City OTT platform powered by Connect2OTT, offering documentaries, news analysis, live discussions, educational programming, global civil rights coverage, and cultural storytelling. The channel functions as both a historical archive and a living platform addressing contemporary civil rights challenges.
Arizona Informant
SELMA, Ala. — Civil Rights TV, the world’s first 24-hour television network dedicated exclusively to civil rights history, education, and future equity, has officially launched on the Connect To Your City OTT platform powered by Connect2OTT.
The network debuts from Selma, Alabama — one of the most historically significant cities in the American civil rights movement — marking a new chapter in how civil rights stories are preserved, amplified, and carried forward for future generations.
Civil Rights TV operates continuously on the Connect To Your City OTT platform powered by Connect2OTT, offering documentaries, news analysis, live discussions, educational programming, global civil rights coverage, and cultural storytelling. The channel functions as both a historical archive and a living platform addressing contemporary civil rights challenges.
Civil Rights, Technology, and the AI Era
As technology and artificial intelligence increasingly shape access to information, media, and opportunity, Civil Rights TV launches at a moment when access to digital infrastructure itself is emerging as a civil rights issue.
Media fragmentation, misinformation, and uneven access to technology continue to reshape public discourse. While on-demand platforms have expanded individual content access, large-scale live broadcasting still faces challenges related to congestion, latency, and energy consumption.
Civil Rights TV leverages broadcast-efficient OTT architecture designed to reduce bandwidth usage and energy requirements, enabling continuous global distribution without placing added strain on network infrastructure.
Why Civil Rights TV Matters Now
Civil Rights TV is not only a media launch—it is a signal.
The network underscores the importance of preserving civil rights history using the most accurate and comprehensive sources available. For generations, the Black press has maintained some of the deepest and most reliable documentation of the civil rights movement, currents events, news and critical Black history, much of which remains underrepresented in modern digital media archives and inaccessible to artificial intelligence (AI) systems.
As a result, Civil Rights TV will rely heavily on national Black press for news, historical archives and independent voices. Prominent digital news platforms, podcasts, and broadcasters—will play an instrumental role in shaping continuous coverage, historical interpretation, and public discourse.
About Connect2OTT
Connect2OTT currently manages more than 250 live 24/7 television and radio channels streaming to audiences in more than 190 countries. Civil Rights TV joins this ecosystem as a flagship channel, designed to foster global conversation while demonstrating how media distribution, energy efficiency, and AI readiness can coexist responsibly.
About Larry Witherspoon
Larry Witherspoon is a technology entrepreneur and founder of Phoenix-based Connect2 Technologies, LLC, including Connect2OTT, Connect2AI, and Connect To Your City OTT Platform.
In 2006, Witherspoon launched FaithFone Wireless, the world’s first Christian-owned and operated mobile phone company—years ahead of today’s fintech and mobile banking platforms. As a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO), FaithFone introduced mobile banking, digital tithing, live television and radio, content downloads, and branded debit- card-based person-to-person payment functionality before mobile commerce was widely understood by major telecom and financial institutions.
That early convergence of mobile, media, and financial technology laid the foundation for Witherspoon’s current work across AI, energy efficiency, broadcasting, and infrastructure optimization.
Community Content Submissions
Civil Rights TV welcomes article submissions from trusted community voices, journalists, and verified organizations. Content may be submitted through an official upload portal or via email for editorial review.
Submissions approved for broadcast will be scheduled during the network’s community programming window from 12:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m., with select pieces considered for prime- time airing based on their significance, accuracy, and value to the broader civil rights dialogue.

Leveling Up: How HBCUs Empower Black Students To Rise Above, Achieve
ARIZONA INFORMANT — Kenyae Stocker, a graduate in May 2024 with a stellar 3.7 GPA in mechanical engineering, embodies the unwavering spirit that thrives within HBCU walls. Hailing from Tucson, Ariz., she arrived at Southern University just as the COVID-19 pandemic hit, presenting a unique set of challenges for her freshman year. Yet, her story is a testament to the unique support system these institutions provide, empowering students to navigate challenges and embrace opportunities for growth.
Chandler – Historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) have long played a pivotal role in shaping the educational landscape for African-American students. They have done (and continue to do) more to educate Black students than many larger, more well-resourced historically White institutions (HWIs).
HBCU institutions transcend the realm of mere education, transforming into vibrant communities that foster academic achievement, personal growth, and a profound sense of culture and belonging. They produce more Black science and engineering majors than any HWI, and they have produced the majority of Black doctors, lawyers, judges, and academics for generations.
Their legacy is woven with stories of resilience, excellence, and individuals like Kenyae Stocker, whose journey at Southern University and A&M College, an HBCU, exemplifies the transformative power of such institutions.
Stocker, a soon-to-be graduate in May 2024 with a stellar 3.7 GPA in mechanical engineering, embodies the unwavering spirit that thrives within HBCU walls. Hailing from Tucson, Ariz., she arrived at Southern University just as the COVID-19 pandemic hit, presenting a unique set of challenges for her freshman year. Yet, her story is a testament to the unique support system these institutions provide, empowering students to navigate challenges and embrace opportunities for growth.
Her unwavering determination and proactive nature allowed her to not only adapt to online learning but also thrive academically. This is evidenced by her immediate acceptance into the prestigious Top Jags Program in fall 2020, a program reserved for students of exceptional academic achievement. Throughout her four years, Stocker has consistently remained a Top Jag, a testament to her dedication and resilience.
Furthermore, her academic excellence extends beyond the Top Jags Program. She has consistently earned a place on the Honors Roll and Dean’s List each semester, and is on track to graduate as an Honors College student. These achievements speak volumes about her character and the nurturing environment fostered by the Southern University community, which empowers students to not only overcome adversity but also excel academically.
Beyond academics, Stocker actively participated in activities such as The National Society of Black Engineers and The American Society of Mechanical Engineers. These experiences not only enriched her college experience but also helped her build a strong network within the engineering field and among her peers. Balancing these diverse commitments demonstrates her exceptional time management skills and dedication to her passions.
Southern University’s unwavering commitment to academic excellence and fostering a supportive alumnus has undeniably played a crucial role in shaping Stocker’s success.
She said, “The university’s emphasis on higher education, coupled with research programs and strong alumni engagement, provides students with valuable opportunities to learn, grow and thrive.”
Dr. Brian Warren, a professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department, exemplifies this dedication. His mentorship and guidance have been instrumental in shaping Kenyae’s academic journey, along with countless other students at Southern University.
As she prepares to embark on her career at McCarthy Building Companies, a Dallas, Texas-based company, her aspirations reflect her unwavering commitment to both her chosen field and making a positive impact in her community. Her story serves as a beacon of hope and inspiration for students everywhere, demonstrating that with perseverance, dedication, and the support offered by institutions like HBCUs, anything is possible.
Stocker’s journey is far from over, and she serves as a powerful reminder of the transformative power and relevance of HBCUs. HBCUs have much to teach us all about how to ensure educational equality for Black students specifically, and even for first-generation and low-income students, more generally, who are overrepresented at HBCUs. These institutions remain a vital resource for Black students, offering not only a path to academic success but also a nurturing environment that fosters personal growth, career success, a sense of belonging, and the unwavering confidence to level up.
As a testament to her dedication and academic excellence, Kenyae is a three-time recipient of the prestigious Southern University Alumni Federation Arizona Chapter (SUAF-AC) Excel Scholarship. This scholarship, fueled by the generous support of the Arizona community, empowers deserving students like Kenyae to reach their full potential.
Special to the Informant by Loretta H. Cheeks, Ph.D., SUAF-Arizona Chapter Member, who encourages the community to be part of the change.

First Black Racer in Porsche Carrera Cup Competes at Formula One Miami Grand Prix
NNPA NEWSWIRE — Wallace is an admirer of Formula One, but at 36 is too old to be dreaming about an F-1 seat. Instead, Wallace wants to move up to the Batmobile-like, fiendishly quick sports cars that compete in famous endurance races. “The ultimate goal is to win the Daytona 24 Hours, the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Sebring 12 Hours, and to be the first African American to win all of those,” Wallace said. “I’ve got a ton of work ethic, a ton of desire and I think I’m showing that I’m pretty quick.”

MIAMI GARDENS, FLORIDA — When Jordan Wallace was a 5-year-old, his grandmother bought him a little, battery-powered Mercedes car. She may have regretted that move because Wallace immediately hopped into his miniature whip and practically drove the wheels off it.
Convinced that Upper Marlboro, Maryland, had never produced a racer with his combination of awe-inspiring speed and daring, Wallace began looking for pre-pubescent butts to kick.
“I tried to race the girl down the street in her Barbie Corvette, and she whupped me,” Wallace said, still incredulous 31 years later. “And after that, I was like – I gotta get this figured out. Ever since then, I’ve been on a charge.”
One that had Wallace swaddled in a helmet and Nomex driving suit as he blasted a 510-horsepower Porsche 911 GT3 Cup around the 3.36-mile, 19-turn Miami International Autodrome road circuit, sounding like a bellowing, deep-voiced hound from hell.
Welcome to the Porsche Carrera Cup North America racing series, Jordan Wallace’s world. He found himself onstage with the globe-trotting Formula One circus in town for the Miami Grand Prix. Formula One promoters like to have other kinds of racing cars circulating tracks while F-1 cars are being tweaked in their garages.
Wallace is an admirer of Formula One, but at 36 is too old to be dreaming about an F-1 seat. Instead, Wallace wants to move up to the Batmobile-like, fiendishly quick sports cars that compete in famous endurance races.
“The ultimate goal is to win the Daytona 24 Hours, the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and the Sebring 12 Hours and to be the first African American to win all of those,” Wallace said. I’ve got a ton of work ethic and desire, and I think I’m showing that I’m pretty quick.”
That last statement is all fact and no brag because Wallace came within one-hundredth of a second of being the fastest qualifier for his Miami International Autodrome race. To put that in perspective, it takes the average person between one-tenth to four-tenths of a second to blink their eyes.
A resident of Austin, Texas, these days, Wallace keeps a roof over his head with his racing activities and by working as a driving instructor at a nearby race track. When it comes to the Kellymoss/Vision Motorsports Racing Porsche he’s piloting in eight races this year, his sponsor is Davis Infrastructure, a Northern Virginia business that builds data centers.
“I grew up thinking race drivers were aliens because no one in my family, or in my culture, was in this sport,” Wallace said. “Now I’m part-owner in the team that I’m driving for. Not only a Black driver, but a Black owner. We’re really trying to grow that side of the sport, as well.”

Liberty Captures The Open Title
ARIZONA INFORMANT — From the beginning Liberty looked to show they were the more dominant of the two. On their first possession the Lions marched right down the field on a drive that resulted in a Navi Bruzon 20-yard touchdown pass to Ryan Jezioro with 7:20 left in the opening quarter. After the missed PAT the score was 6-0 in favor of Liberty. On the next drive Centennial was able to move the ball but the drive ended with a missed 42-yard field goal.
Arizona Informant
On December 2nd the top two teams collided once again for the second time in less than a month. This time it was for the Open Division championship of the AIA. Two nationally ranked teams, #16 Peoria Liberty and 19 Peoria Centennial, had both shown they were the premier teams in the state throughout the year.
From the beginning Liberty looked to show they were the more dominant of the two. On their first possession the Lions marched right down the field on a drive that resulted in a Navi Bruzon 20-yard touchdown pass to Ryan Jezioro with 7:20 left in the opening quarter. After the missed PAT the score was 6-0 in favor of Liberty. On the next drive Centennial was able to move the ball but the drive ended with a missed 42-yard field goal.
Centennial got the ball back again and this time they were able to capitalize. On a drive that consisted of all runs, Owen Reynosa punched it in from 1 yard out with 1:06 left in the first quarter. Centennial had grabbed the lead 7-6. Centennial had seemed to be gaining some momentum. On their next possession they hit a home run with the deep ball. This was in the form of a 44-yard pass from Kainan Manna to Kenny Worthy III that gave Centennial a 14-6 lead with 7:55 left in the 2nd quarter. Centennial continued to play solid defense on the Lions by stopping them on a 4 th down try with 6:34 remaining in the first half.
After Liberty got the ball back, they hit a home run of their own. This time it was Bruzon connecting again with Jezioro this time for a 50-yard touchdown at the 4:43 mark. After an unsuccessful 2-point conversion try the score was now 14-12 still in favor of Centennial. Liberty looking to swing the momentum in their favor blocked a Centennial punt with 3:26 left in the first half. This block gave them great field position at the Centennial 29-yard line. A Bruzon 4-yard touchdown run with 2:00 minutes left gave Liberty the lead 19-14 heading into halftime.
In the 2nd half Liberty looked to continue to build off the momentum from the end of the first half. They got the opening kickoff of the 3 rd quarter and marched down the field.
The drive was dominated by Bruzon runs and ended with a Jon Wilson 5-yard touchdown run with 7:21 left in the 3 rd quarter. The Liberty lead had now grown to 26-14. The rest of the quarter was back and forth with neither team really moving the ball much. The Centennial Defense led by defensive end Noah Carter did all they could to keep the high powered Liberty offense in check.
With the help of a pass interference call Liberty was able to sustain a drive that
goes deep into Centennial territory. Jon Wilson runs it in from 4 yards out with 7:34 left in the game to give Liberty more breathing room. The lead was now up to 33-14. A Centennial touchdown with 4:00 left in the game brought the score to 33-21. The final score was 33-21 with Liberty winning the Open Championship finishing 12-1 and Centennial being the runner-up with a record of 11-2.
