Black Salvage

The Black Salvage is pleased to bring you more real talk from our regular music contributor L. A. Grant. They say talk is cheap so you can speak freely but, if it’s not for a reason, then what is it actually good for? The station that was meant to highlight things pertinent to blacks along with educating, uplifting, and motivating “our people” has lost its luster. There was a time when such shows as Teen Summit and B.E.T. News were a staple of our network.

The quality of programming has changed so drastically that I have noticed, in talking with educated people of color, most find it hard to even view Black Entertainment Television on a daily basis unless they are trying to see the latest videos.

I would like to take this time to formally announce and introduce the third editor and contributor to the Black Salvage team, Ms. Catrina Sally. Here are some words from our newest addition: "I’m a Graduate English Student at Morgan State University. My concentration is screenwriting and I work as a paraeducator during the day. I love being Black, I love to write, and I hope my posts will exhibit these sentiments. Jerel and I have argued over the most mundane things, at least we have Black awareness in common!" As a long time commenter on the blog before making the move to join us, Catrina will continue using the pen name "Angry Sally", and likely for good reason. . . lol.
