Welcome to the blog of The Light, a bi-monthly community newspaper in Alexandria, La. I’m Sherri L. Jackson, the publisher of the newspaper. As a professional journalist, who’s seen how the mainstream press often works against people of color, The Light’s goal is to provide information to help people of color, particularly blacks in Central Louisiana, live their lives better and make informed decisions about everyday affairs.
Thanks Sherri for taking the Light to another Level. I always look forward to picking up copies of the Light at my church – Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church. Now the Light is at my fingertips with the touch of a few keys.
Keep up the good work!!
May God Bless You
Congradulations on an excellent publication and website.
Good Afternoon David
We have not spoken since Christmas, but we have had some great success with our community fundraising and donation.. Walmart on Hwy 28 East in Alexandria donated $2,600.00 from a grant that they receive from the Walmart ( National). It was a Community Grant…
We have propose to enhance our Teen Center with two new computers, flash cards, software, printers, ink, dictionary and books as well as DVD.
I will list this in the community of the Town Talk , but I wanted you to be the first to get this information..
I do have pictures from this event that took place today.
I wish I had your email address to send you the pictures we took today..
Big Thanks to Rita Epps and her Store Managers
And Thank you to you for thinking of us..
