ExpoUpdate
would like to congratulate Mayor Elect Antonio Villaraigosa
on his landslide win for mayor of Los Angeles. "Mayor
V," as we heard someone on Front Page call him, has shown up and
has spread his good "natured-ness" liberally around our
community. We here at the Expo have long partnered with the
Latino business community and hope to continue in that vein.
Please join us in congratulating and supporting the mayor.
After our own struggles and activism in which we were successful
in witnessing four terms of an African American mayor while our
numbers were relatively small, it only seems right to
congratulate our Latino counterparts for enjoying the same
achievement. As business owners, we need to continue to
market to the Latino and other consumers if we care to grow.
Si, se puede!

SIZZLING SUMMER
STYLE
by Mikel Kilgour
Memorial Day has passed and once again,
the heat is
on... for the next twelve weeks, summer
fashion will be
flaunted for better and unfortunately,
for worse. In an effort to
dispel the latter, let's take a look at
some of the season's
hottest trends while not forgetting
the reliable power
Mexico's
president Vicente Fox really got the fur flying over
remarks he made during a speech to Texas businessmen
Friday May 13th. Here's what Fox said, as
quoted by the
Fort Wayne News-Sentinel
: "There's no doubt that Mexican men and women full
of dignity, will power and a capacity for work are
doing the work that not even blacks want to do in
the United States."
Those
remarks have generated a barrage of comments from
people of all colors; black, white, and brown. Jesse
Jackson has flown down to Mexico to meet with Fox.
Black Enterprise's Earl Graves is
asking Black Americans to boycott Mexico
by not traveling to Mexico. Numerous blogs have
offer very interesting views. Aaron McGruder’s comic
strip
The Boondocks
went Fox hunting.
As
entrepreneurs and consumers, and most importantly,
Black Americans, this issue hits close to home.
We want to hear your views on this.
Speak out here in the Expo Forum.

Beginning
June 18, 2005, a six week Black History Class will be offered to
young people, ages 12 - 16 years at View Park Preparatory High
School, 3855 West Slauson, in Los Angeles. Open to the public,
the lively two hour class will be held on Saturday mornings from
10:00am to Noon. Parent orientation will be held June 15 at
7:00pm, also at View Park Prep. The instructor is Dr. Kwaku
Person-Lynn, a professor
at Loyola Marymount University, author and historian.
"Every time I teach my adult class "Afrikan World Civilizations"
in the community, participants ask if I will
teach their young people. For years, my students went away
thinking that if the young people in their lives could know this
information, maybe it would eliminate some of the violence so I
made time to develop a course I know young people will lean on
the rest of their lives," said Dr. Person-Lynn. For more
