Arihanna Venable enjoys talking with her patients as she performs physical exams, takes their blood pressure and, sometimes administers medicine to help soothe wounds or illnesses.
However, when Venable looks at so many other registered nurses, she finds a glaring and often troubling trend.
“Not many of them look like me,” said Venable, 33, of Southeast. “We just don’t have a lot of black registered nurses and I think if we can somehow change that, a lot of our patients will feel more at ease and they’ll be more likely to come in and see a doctor before they encounter serious health problems.”
Venable counts among the 5.4 percent of African-American nurses in the nation. A small minority, considering there’s an estimated 2.5 million registered nurses in the United States. Latinos also are in the minority as just 3.6 percent hold those positions.

Early voting in the three days before Election Day is back in Ohio.
U.S. District Judge Peter C. Economus granted a permanent injunction yesterday preventing Secretary of State Jon Husted from restricting or eliminating voting on the Saturday, Sunday and Monday before all future elections.
Democrats, who benefit from weekend voting because supporters tend to come to polls in greater numbers on those days, were overjoyed at the ruling. Republicans, meanwhile, were uniformly silent, with the exception of Husted, who issued a statement praising the decision as a victory for “uniformity and equality” in voting hours.

During the Civil War, the Alexandria Contrabands and Freedmen Cemetery was the burial place for approximately 1,700 African Americans who fled to Alexandria to escape bondage. Now, in the sesquicentennial of both the Cemetery and the Civil War, a new memorial honors this site and those who were laid to rest there.
The City of Alexandria will officially dedicate the Contrabands and Freedmen Cemetery Memorial on Saturday, September 6, 2014 at 10 a.m. Several hundred descendants of those buried at the Cemetery have been located, and many will be on hand for the dedication ceremony.

As an author myself I know how hard it can be for authors to get publicity for their books. With that in mind I have decided to post short 7 question interviews with black authors to help publicize black authors and their books at no cost to those authors. If you are willing to do a free interview just contact me at georgelcookiii@gmail.com
AAR (African American Reports): Tell us something about you the person?
Queen Brown: I am a God fearing mother of two with a big heart and an even bigger need to succeed in life.
AAR: What inspired you to begin writing?
Queen Brown: An old friend of mines pushed me to do it because I always had a story to tell whenever he and I would meet up . My stories were always so vivid and dramatic.
AAR: What is your latest title? (If part of a series feel free to mention the entire series.)
Queen Brown: My latest title is 'Adia' (special edition). Part one, Adia (love, lies and murder) came out in late 2012. I have recently published parts 1&2 together in the special edition.
AAR: What's the plot of the book?
Queen Brown: A Young woman scorned by love sends her emotions on a whirlwind of craziness that she can no longer control. Secrets, bloodshed and pure mayhem grace the pages of both books.
AAR: Who is your favorite character in the book?
Queen Brown: My favorite character is in fact, Adia. She is sexy, intelligent and lethal. She brings all of the action to the story with her psychotic ways.
AAR: Where is the book available?
Queen Brown: The book is only available on Amazon.com for now.
AAR: Is there anything you would like to mention in closing.
Queen Brown: Yes, I appreciate you taking the time out to interview me George and I wanted to thank my supporters, new and old for picking up a Queen Brown book and enjoying it enough to continue supporting . There are more books to come! Stay tuned, remain positive & always remember to smile because it looks good.
