Exclusive OP-ED By Tolson Banner

The “hush” always descends upon us unannounced. Like the King of Pop. Like the Queen 

of Soul. Just like Prince. It transforms time into a quivering moment and shakes us.

The recurring news confirm what we had prayed and hoped to be untrue: Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gigi and seven others killed in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, CA. (Names of the other deceased passengers were not released at press time).
