"The Firpo Files Digital Newsmagazine" is an exclusive
link that replaces articles that would otherwise appear under either the Sentinel or Sentinel-MJ links.

not restrict themselves to African American issues and challenges faced by African descendants in the Diaspora. Instead, the
following articles will be more expansive in covering a variety of newsworthy items of a local, regional, national, and international
