"...I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people will get to the promised land. And I'm happy, tonight. I'm not worried about a thing. I'm not fearing any man. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord."...

PLL Original Sin - The Suitcase
Time for - I hyper-fixated and overanalyzed the scene with the Masked Man (Referred to as "MM" because I don't - like many - believe him to be "A"). Here, are a few things that I observed.
(1) The suitcase says, “United Stated Army Reserve” and it is beaten up. I doubt Davie - no matter what change of heart she may or may not have had - did time in the Army. Though, my instinct is to say that it's "MM's" (as him having a military background would make a whole lot of sense from both a character and a skills standpoint) that doesn't necessarily make it so. The specific logo used here has been in use since 1972, so it could have been passed down to either of the two.
(2) First, and foremost, most of the contents of the suitcase are old.
The picture of the OG Liars from the night Angela died. (the one from the intro as well as the one taken in the FB from 1x01)
The old teddy bear (seemingly the one that was replicated in 1x04)
A flyer for the Y2K party (the same one given to Davie in 1x01 before she died, seen in the intro and in "MM's" lair in 1x01)
The pumpkin mask that Angela had worn in the Flashback from earlier this episode (1x05)
A picture of Angela in which she appears to be in a play(?)
A picture of a young boy pushing an even younger child in a stroller.
A page torn from a book that includes two poems by Henry Vaughan - “The Night” and “The Waterfall”. It is on this page that the hair is tacked on to.
An even older picture that looks like of an ancestor.
Some sort of ticket. There is a name at the top. The first name is difficult to read, but I swear the rest says “M.L. King Jr”. There is also a date in red on the line below. The year is either “91” or “01).
Implication #1: This is the picture that we see the OG Liars take right outside the warehouse the night Angela dies - you can see them get it taken as Angela (not yet on screen) calls out for help. What's interesting is that this isn't a polaroid. The man that took the photo, never handed them one. So, either, this is Davie's photo that "MM" took the night that Davie died or whilst he's been living there OR she never had it in her possession at all. After all, I can imagine having proof that you were there the night a girl died isn't something Davie would want to keep. I would imagine that she'd get rid of it.
Implication #2: The old teddy bear is especially interesting because we've literally seen it every. It was in the intro - where we watch "MM" drag it on the ground like a toddler (I had flashbacks to young Michael from Peter Pan). We also see it in "MM's" lair at the end of 1x01 when he kills the janitor. Clearly, things had to get moved after. This is also the same bear that Marjorie gifted Angela in the FB from the previous episode and the one that "A" used to taunt Marjorie at the hospital with the knowledge that they knew about her drug abuse.
Implication #3: The pumpkin mask speaks for itself. I guess I'm just surprised that Angela kept it. Bully's suck and those girls were cruel.
Implication #4: I think it's very clear at this point that Angela loved English. There's been several allusions to the play the Scarlet Letter (Imogen's class discussing it in 1x01 and her finding it at Angela's shrine in 1x03). We see a page of poetry and what looks to be a picture from her in a play here. I'm not sure the importance it's going to have here - if they're going to go the parallel route and their be a connection between Imogen and Angela with the plot of the Scarlet Letter. It just feels too similar at this point to ignore.
(3) However, there are some other things in the suitcase that we know for a fact are recent additions.
There are TWO tickets for Tabby's Jordan Peele double feature, that is even dated for "Thursday, October 1st @ 4 PM" as well as a flyer that says the same thing.
Implication: The implication is that "MM" went to the screening with someone else - and since it was a screening for Millwood High Students... it was most likely someone the girls' age. That would lead me to believe that "A" could be someone the girls' age. Or Wes.
(4) Then, there are some... even odder items.
A lock of someone’s hair – it appears blonde is tacked onto a page of poetry.
A blank wages card is hung next to the poetry page.
Looks like some type of coin/medal of valor?
An old, beaten up can of chili.
An old toothbrush.
Implication #1: The hair is weird for a number of reasons. With the obvious - this man has a strand of hair out of the way - no one on the show is even blond except the twins... Not Angela or even Davie was blonde. Not even the crazy lady in the trailer for 1x06-1x07 who we assume is Angela's mother is blond. I mean, it definitely resembles the hair that "MM" is using as a wig, but I can't figure out if that is suppose to mean anything.
Implication #2: The medal of valor would only make sense, if, again, "MM" was once in the military.
(5) After the camera zooms back out, there are some noticeable differences to the contents of the bottom of the suitcase. Where the toothbrush once was sat on top of some nondescript journals, there is now new additions. This would mean that "MM" just put those items there.
There is the Halloween Horror-O-Thon movie ticket on top (The same one from the intro)
Underneath the ticket are the journal entries (The same ones shown in the intro)
The very bottom left is the childish drawing of Y2K (Also from the intro)
Implications: There are several that can be made, but at this point, they would just be called theories. However, we shall do our best.
Implication #1: "MM" went to the Halloween Horror-A-Thon at 3 PM. There was only one ticket, so we can deduce that he went alone.
Implication #1-B: The level of shadiness at the number of times that we've seen "MM" hang at the Orpheum is concerning. Yes, he also seems to stay at the school (concerning) and Imogen's house (concerning). I don't know what point I'm trying to make here... Wes is horrible. I don't necessarily think he's working with "MM" but I just wanted to say that. Thank you.
Implication #2: The easy conclusion to make would be that the papers in the fireplace were placed there to then throw the girls off. And yet, "MM" left the suitcase in the basement with a whole slew of other evidence...? That doesn't add up. It's clear that either he was the one to rip them out of Davie's journal, or found where Davie originally hid them. He clearly wants the girls to uncover what happened to Angela. I just have to figure that giving them the journal entries would be too easy and would give them all the answers. Whoever "A" is, clearly wants to make them work for it.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day Parade set for Monday, Jan. 16
Terrence Bailey, Amos James Jr. named co-grand marshals
NATCHEZ, Miss. – The 2023 Martin Luther King Jr. Parade will feature new participants and attractions that include dance troops, motorcycle riders, co-grand marshals, and three high school bands, among other groups.
The event will be held at 3 p.m. Monday, Jan. 16, in the downtown area.
“It’s going to be a wonderful parade, beyond what we’ve had in the past,” said parade committee member Phillip West. “I look forward to enjoying this event.”
This year’s theme is, “Natchez – Legacy of the Dream,” noted parade Chairperson Jacqueline Marsaw. She said Terrence Bailey and Amos James Jr. will serve as co-grand marshals.
In addition to the Natchez High School band, the parade will feature bands from Ferriday High School and Wilkinson County High School, according to West.
Other participants will include Emerald Elites Dance Team, Diamond Aces Dance Team, Destini Devine Dance Team, Natchez-Adams ROTC, and four girl scout groups. West said fraternities, sororities, and other organizations will also participate, as will the Natchez Police Department, Adams County Sheriff's Office, and Natchez Fire Department.
Last year, because of Covid-19 concerns, several groups pulled out of the parade, said Marsaw. “Bands and dance troops did not participate last year,” she said. “But I’m excited about the participants this year. A lot of people are becoming interested. We have great participation this year.”
The lineup for the parade will begin at 2 p.m. on Broadway Street. The parade route will start at North Broadway and Franklin streets. From there, it will travel along Franklin to N. Dr. M.L. King St., where it will turn left and proceed up to Minor Street, where it will end.
The parade will be followed by trophy presentations at the corner of Dr. M.L. King and High streets for the best float, the baddest vehicle, bands, and dance groups.
The parade is sponsored by The Natchez Branch of the NAACP. For more information on the parade, call Chairperson Jacqueline Marsaw at 601-443-1350 or Philip West at 601-807-0754.

Department -BBA
Workshop On Virtual Communication
Guest speaker : Mr. Gagan Singh
Designation: Alumnus-IIM-A & DTU, Business Coach & Leadership trainer
Founder : GWEPP
Dated : 31st Aug 2022
Venue : JIMS VK-II
Conquering Virtual Communication
On 31st August 2022, JIMS VK-II organized an online workshop on the topic- Conquering Virtual Communication for the Freshers of all five courses –BBA, BCA, Hotel Management, Mass Communication and Interior Design of the college. The speaker Mr. Gagan Singh –an alumnus of IIM-A & DTU is presently a Business Coach and Leadership trainer with Gagans Winning Edge Persona Program (GWEPP) –his own company.
The lecture began with Mr. Gagan quoting the lines of M.L King Jr.- “If you can’t be a Pine at the Peak, Be a Shrub in the Valley…….,advising, in short , the students to be the best versions of whatever they wish to be. Future, he asserted , was uncertain and the only way to succeed was to gain perfection in whatever one did. The three major challenges ,post-covid , he added were –Technology disruption, Automation and a movement from Globalization to Nationalization. To conquer these challenges, he maintained, that one had no choice but to be the “Best”. Taking the analogy of an organizational pyramid which looked like a triangle-he said the upper part was like a rocket and the lower portion like a quadrilateral and one had the choice to either fly with the rocket or fall with the quadrilateral. Those who wanted to fly, he said, must have the ‘master key’ of communication, leadership, people management and collaboration. And this key he said could be acquired by polishing the three C’s , i.e., Content , Communication and Class which talk about structured thinking, oratory skills and body language respectively.
Taking the students through various mini clips from Bollywood movies, he quizzed the students on what appeared appropriate and inappropriate to them in the situations and advised them to keep upgrading their skills. With various digital games and quizzes , Mr. Gagan Singh made sure that the freshmen interacted with him all through the lecture.
All in all, a very informative and enjoyable session, Mr. Gagan ended it by wishing the students the very best for their careers ahead.

Olayinka Alege | What Does Empowerment Really Mean to School Administrators?
Empowerment, at least from a teacher's aspect allows for a teacher to be fearless in the growth and refining process of achieving the goals of the shared vision of the school. This writer believes empowerment and buzzword are both relative terms. For instance, during the civil rights movement African Americans were empowered through central leadership (Malcolm X, M.L. King Jr.) to stand up for certain unalienable rights. What if there were some African Americans that did not think those rights mattered, or what about the white majority that was causing these oppressions, were either of those two empowered? Just say no, was a term coined in the 1980's when crack cocaine was becoming more prevalent. This buzz phrase was easier said than done. We don't hear just say no anymore, however, the message lives on. We hear, that's not cool, crack kills, this is your brain on crack, never-the-less the message remains constant.
Having said all of that, this writer takes the stance that to those who:
o Allow staff to have continuous, meaningful input in the decision making process.
o Purpose to give staff authentic ownership.
o Help staff make connections from the big vision to their own individual daily tasks. Empowerment is not a buzzword it is a strategy. To those who play the appearance game empowerment is a buzzword. Unfortunately, their success as a leader is probably a buzzword as well.
Olayinka Alege
Managers often involve other people in various ways in making decisions, but leaders go beyond that. Leaders are able to create and communicate a vision that inspires followers. This sentence sums up the moral and ethical considerations any leader will face. A soft theory X type leader will not be comfortable creating a vision that is shared and definitely will not see the need to do the work to motivate people to believe in its principles. Instead she/he will use guile and Machiavellian subterfuge in their styles to get people to think they have their best interest in mind.
The soft X leader probably doesn't even think he/she is compromising any ethics or morals as their initial premise is not built upon trust or acceptance. They are more directive and authoritative in nature, thus their thoughts and decisions would be more corralled and final. It is possible the soft X actually thinks a good deed is being done by listening to make people think they matter at all.
Newton Miller II has spent 40 years in urban settings and understands that the culture of the community drives the culture and climate in its schools. One must consider that research states schools with high-poverty and high-minority enrollments are taught by a disproportionate number of under qualified teachers, which adversely affects learning outcomes. It has been this writer's observation that teachers in these districts spend less time developing reasoning skills and are more apt to rely on worksheets as the primary pedagogical approach. Students who have internalized a pervasive sense of helplessness and hopelessness and who also see no connection between their education and economic mobility remain disengaged in school and mark time until they are eligible to drop out.

I had heard her name, but I’m ashamed to admit I did not know anything about Black investigative journalist and civil rights pioneer Ida B. Wells until I recently happened to hear some about her life on the radio. In 1892, she published her research on lynching. A white mob consequently ransacked and destroyed her offices at the Beale Street Baptist Church while she was away to NYC. Above, my recent photos of the historically important Beale Street Baptist Church (est. 1869 by formerly enslaved persons, reputedly the first brick church built for use by African-Americans), and the 6-story mural featuring Ida B. Wells (and the church) downtown at S. Main and Dr. M.L. King, Jr. Ave., installed 2016 by artist Michael Roy a/k/a Birdcap, in collaboration with Derrick Dent, and commissioned by the Urban Art Commission, Memphis.
