Tyrell Trimble Was Murdered - Branden Harper Is Sentenced
Tyrell Trimble Was Killed in 2012. Branden Harper Is Sentenced In 2015. Young Black Lives Lost. Harper has been sentenced to 12 - 15 years.
Tyrell was black, and Harper is black. Those in the NH Court House for this sentencing were all black people. Tyrell Trimble no longer walks the earth. Many lives have been damaged, and if this NHI article is evidence of the future, more lives will be lost and damaged. These are all black lives. Where does this end? How do we break this destructive cycle? Tyrell Trimble’s father (Eddie Trimble) seems to be making an effort. He has learned the hard way.
Markeshia Ricks is a reporter with the NHI. Today, Feb 10, 2015. Ms. Ricks has written a thoughtful article about the lives lost. She has written about the many lives damaged by this tragedy. What is even most disturbing about the piece is the behavior of some of the adults in the Courtroom in this 2015.
Of course, this is happening as we at OneWorld re-examine the goals, purpose and need for Black History Month programs.
Hicks writes: “I think my last question is my most profound and disturbing: If the families can’t see past it all, who will be the next Tyrell and 20-year-old Branden Harper?” We ask, how will this cycle be broken? Where does Black History Month comes in? What needs to be done?
In her article Ms. Hicks also wrote: "My first revelation? This is one hell of a school-to-prison pipeline." Maybe this "pipeline" is a good place to start coupled with the home, of course.

Laying the Cash Tracks for Community Impact
LISC CFO Christina Travers is among the impact investing leaders who contributed commentaries to a new book, The Social Justice Investor, and joined a panel discussion at today’s book launch. In her essay, “Laying the Cash Tracks,” (reprinted here) she explains the evolution of LISC’s capital markets experience—noting how discouraging Wall Street conversations eventually led to transformative, community-focused investments.Sharing the Story of Social Justice Investing
With the launch of the new book, The Social Justice Investor, LISC’s Christina Travers reflects on the ways that CDFIs have tapped the capital markets to deepen their impact—working to upend lingering misconceptions among some investors. "Whether we are financing affordable housing, small businesses, health, safety, climate resilience, racial equity or jobs, we see financial performance and local impact as part of the same whole."EPA Awards GRID Alternatives Solar for All Grant
LISC partner GRID Alternatives has been awarded a $249,800,000 Solar for All grant from the EPA to advance renewable and clean energy sources for affordable housing communities across the country. “The grant is an incredible boon to the movement to decarbonize homes and lower energy costs that burden millions of everyday Americans,” said Michael T. Pugh, president and CEO of LISC.
