Edmund L Houston Foundation

It is with a very heavy heart that I share the passing of my beloved husband, Al.

Al had bravely lived with atrial fibrillation for many years. Recently, his condition worsened with congestive heart failure and heart valve and kidney complications. Despite the tireless efforts of his doctors and caregivers, his heart could no longer keep fighting.

Al brought so much love, laughter, and joy into my life. I will miss him more than words can express, but I am deeply grateful for the beautiful life and memories we shared together.

On his final day, he told me something that brought both peace and comfort: “I am ready to go to heaven now.”
Service arrangements have not yet been determined. I will share details once they are available.

Thank you for keeping our family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

In Lieu of flowers please donate to the Edmund L Houston Foundation grant fund. He was Co-President until the end. www.edmundlhoustonfoundation.org

Generation Beta Arrived Last Year Move over Gen Alpha—there’s a new generation in town. This is year 2.

Happy Mother’s Day weekend!

This time of year is filled with love and reflection.
Some of you are celebrating the incredible moms in your lives.
Some, like me, are holding close the memory of mothers who watch over us from above.
Many of you are amazing moms and bonus moms yourselves — and some of you nurture others with the heart of a mother in every way.

However you’re spending this weekend, I hope it’s filled with joy, love, and special moments. You deserve it.

Wishing you a wonderful Mother’s Day! 💐

It's been a whirlwind few weeks. Thanks to the folks that stopped by the meet and greet at the Black Alumni Collective (BAC)/Rutgers African American Alumni Association (RAAA) conference. Met Dr Randall Pinkett and Dr. Jeff Robinson at their book signing. Dr Holloway, President of Rutgers Universay gave a rousing talk at a fireside chat. Talked in depth with ALFRED A. EDMOND
SVP/Executive Editor-at-Large at Black Enterprise. The next conference will be in 2026 at the Universary of Pittsburgh. Hope to see you there.

This is scary. The courts are backing what they are calling reverse-decrimination.
