The Focus LBK Show

We had a great, though very busy time this Juneteenth Week. On Thursday, Juneteenth Committee co-chairs Cory Powell and D’Juana McPherson kicked off the festivities at the Patterson Library. Afterwards, I spoke on the subject of “The First Four Lessons of Freedom”. I attached that speech to the end of this podcast in case you missed it. Later that weekend, The Focus LBK crew made video and picture...

Today we had a rollicking-good conversation with self-described “Hick-Lib” Kyle Rable, who’s seeking to unseat the current District 19 Congressman Jodie Arrington. Kyle is proud of his progressive take on how to fix what ails our beautiful-but-gritty little-city and the region beyond. We conversed about everything from unions to drag queens, then shook hands and made plans to do it again. Check Ky...

A few weeks ago, Focus LBK did our first on site studio at the Guadalupe-Parkway Neighborhood Center, aka “Sommerville”. The young people we spoke to were all intelligent, thoughtful and engaging to the extent that it actually gave us a better feeling about the future of this country. We met the Senior Program Director, Dalexae Johnson, and were immediately intrigued to see such a young man being...

News and personal interactions have helped me realize the importance of being free from the influence of those who would do you ill. I get into an article about how the government expected violence from people who were against the government over-reactions of the covid era. I then connect the dots to a stressful family situation one of my friends recently concluded. We realized that being physical...

Did you know Mr. Brady Baldwin Day is around the corner? You didn’t? Well that’s ok, we just made that holiday up. But, if anyone in Lubbock was to have a day named for them, we’d heartily nominate Mr. Baldwin, of East Lubbock. He will soon be 102 years of age. He helped build this fair, flat city of ours. He is a deacon at Lyon’s Chapel Baptist Church, and get this: Dr. Lyons, one the LBK’s first...

The Minneapolis Police Department leadership appear to have lied during the original trial for Derek Chauvin. The lie was so egregious, that it could lead to a re-trial, or at least renewed scrutiny of the facts surrounding George Floyd’s death. Sources and Methods See My Previous Video on this Subject— from years ago. I read the autopsy report, and show all kinds of other evidence from the trial....

Back in September of 2023, Lubbock Hip-Hop Pioneer Billy “B-Fresh” Smith appeared on the Focus LBK Show. In fact, he was one of our first guests, back when we were still recording in Patterson Library. (Shout out to Theresa Wilson and her crew over there!).
