Today in Black History: Legendary Baltimore Afro-American sports journalist Sam Lacy, writer of the popular "A to Z" column, was born in 1903.

Today, we also mark the 28th anniversary of the tragic killing on this date in 1990 of 16-year old Phillip Pannell by a white police officer in the suburban community of Teaneck, New Jersey. Phillip was shot in the back with his arms raised in surrender. Teaneck police officer Gary Spath was acquitted of Phillip's killing by an all-White jury in Bergen County, New Jersey.
