Editor–in-Chief

Tracey Harris

What a blessing it is to produce the next edition of The Gospel Tribune Atlanta Newspaper. As Editor-in-Chief, I feel a profound responsibility to share information with readers, locally and nationally, about the kingdom building that is taking place daily in the city of Atlanta and the surrounding metropolitan area.

In this issue, not only will we acknowledge that March is National Nutrition Month, National Colorectal Awareness Month and National MS Education and Awareness Month, but we highlight Morehouse School of Medicine’s Brain Injury Awareness Month. Thank you to Morehouse School of Medicine for its dedication to improving the health and well-being of individuals and communities; increasing the diversity of the health professional and scientific workforce; and addressing primary healthcare needs through program and education, research and service, with an emphasis on people of color and the underserved urban and rural population in Georgia and the nation. We are happy to have you as our partner!

One of the things I love most about Atlanta is the larger than life men and women who call this magnificent city home. A man that needs no introduction, the Honorable Ambassador Andrew Young, is one such icon! Ambassador Young’s life and legacy is a model of servant leadership in Atlanta, America, and the world. Sunday, May 20, 2012 at the Hyatt Regency Atlanta the Andrew Young Foundation will celebrate Ambassador Young’s 80th birthday! Ambassador Young has brought a philosophy of creative nonviolence to his work as pastor, civil rights leader, diplomat, politician, and humanitarian. Documenting, preserving, and interpreting that legacy to inspire current and
future leaders is the Andrew Young Foundation’s mission. GTA salutes a living legend for his many years of service and leadership, the Honorable Ambassador Andrew Young!

GTA would like to highlight Youth in Action. We are celebrating youth across the country doing great things in their communities. If you know of a child(ren) ages (6-12) or teen ages (13-18) doing phenomenal things, we want to know about it. Email us at: info@thegospeltribuneatlanta.com.

It was GTA’s pleasure to have a conversation with Mrs. Patricia Russell McCloud, one of America’s top business motivators. Please do not close this issue before learning about organizations, such as The Brownstone Project, Camp Jewell House, and The Concerned Black Clergy of Metropolitan Atlanta, which provide a wealth of knowledge and service to the metro-Atlanta community. There are so many ways to give back to your community. Become a volunteer today. We hope
 that we provide inspiration for you to choose at least one issue and commit some of your time and
 talents to organizations that support community driven initiatives.
