theContinued fieldfrom page 3A ship with the ATF. The field of law enforcement is not a popular one, as many young black males have a general distrust of the officers that patrol many of the streets nationwide. Several high-profile stories of police brutality towards black males involving white officers has not only divided the nation, but it has fueled debates on the future of policing in our country. Dickey believes that more black males are needed in law enforcement. “Black males as law enforcement officers can definitely be seen as role models,” he said. “Our younger kids are growing up looking at law enforcement as being un- trustworthy and like the enemy. As a young black male, I’d want to help extend the message that a majority of the law enforcement officers, of any race, are there to help. I want to serve and to help people.” His sister, Olivia, also took those steps on Sunday from JCSU with a degree in criminology, with hopes of becoming a member of law enforcement. “I know that my graduation from JCSU is just a step,” he said. “I’ve got much more to do, and I’m excited to take that PITTSBURGH URBAN MEDIA next step.” Two-time Olympic gold medalist Cullen Jones, who trains and lives in Charlotte, is looking to make the U.S. Olympic team for the third time.

It’s that time again! The 14th annual National Black Heritage Championship Swim Meet is set for May 28-29 at the Triangle Aquatic Center in Cary. Over 900 swimmers will visit the Triangle for bragging rights. The meet is sanctioned by USA Swimming, Inc., and open to the public. The event is hosted by the North Carolina Aquablazers, a group of black parents who founded the meet to showcase the talents of minority swimmers. Although it’s predominately black, the meet is open to swimmers of all races. However, black children drown at nearly three times the rate of white children, so the meet highlights the need for all children to learn how to swim.
