Hidden Colors 4: “The Religion of White Supremacy” (Trailer)
In America you hear talk about Police Brutality, Racism, and how Economics are used to disparage the Black community. Rarely do we hear talk about the one topic synonymous with all of those which is White Supremacy. Not saying that White people are superior to Blacks but the mind state of White Supremacy gives birth to so many racial issues not just in the US but the world.
Tariq Nasheed has decided to put this topic front and center with his latest installment of his critically acclaimed Hidden Colors series. The documentary series that has had important black voices like Dr Francis Cress Welsing (RIP), Dr. Umar Johnson, Dick Gregory. Also entertainers like Paul Mooney, David Banner, & Nas. Tariq has released the official trailer and you can bet that organizations like Fox News, StormFront ad other race baiting groups will not be happy. I look forward to the Atlanta premier and happy to see that Atlanta Rapper/Activist Killer Mike is part of the fourth installment along with Jim Brown, Dr Boyce Watkins to name a few. So check out the trailer and get ready to go check it out official date not released yet but we will keep you informed here at Jayforce.com

Dr. Frances Cress Welsing: Rest In Power Queen!
As the new year of 2016 begins we have to take a moment to reflect and pay tribute to Dr. Frances Cress Welsing who has passed away at the age of 80 on January, 2nd 2016. Born in Chicago, IL March 18th 1935 daughter of Henry N. Cress (physician) & Ida Mae Griffen (teacher) she was always in an academic background. She went on to obtain her B.S. degree from Antioch College and her M.D. at Howard University in the 1960’s in psychiatry.
She made DC her home after her time at Howard University where she worked at many hospitals especially children’s hospitals. She is probably most known for her book “The Isis Papers” where she discussed the Melanin Theory and tackles the topic of White Supremacy. For decades she tirelessly worked to make sure that her works would help teach black people especially black children to have a love of themselves and their rich history.
She has spoken at numerous universities and taken part in a number of documentaries and she was a part of the Hidden Colors Documentary produced by Tariq Nasheed who worked with her as his mentor. Dr Welsing will truly be missed but her great works will not be forgotten! (March 18, 1935 – January 2, 2016) Rest In Peace………
ATL Event: Tariq Nasheed “Code of Conduct” Lecture Tour July 11th
Right now in America a lot of turmoil is going on. We just experienced the murder of 9 people by the terrorist Dylan Roof in Charleston SC. We still have the scars from Baltimore and Ferguson that went down this year. Not to mention black children being attacked in Texas at pool parties. Tariq Nasheed, NY Times best selling author & critically acclaimed film producer of Hidden Colors Movie Series, has talked about black people in America getting a “Code of Conduct”. This Code of Conduct he speaks of does not deal with Religion or joining an organization it deals with us collectively having a similar mindset on issues that affect our community. Well he has decided to come to the people to talk about this and he is going to Philadelphia, Detroit, and the city we are based out of Atlanta. The lecture in Atlanta takes place July 11th at the Alliance Theater located in the Woodruff Arts Center. This is a great venue and it is sure to be a fun filled night.
