Former President George H. W. Bush had perhaps the best excuse – his health. Although it’s only fair to highlight Bush senior did attend his son’s dedication ceremony of the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum in April. Everyone knows how much George W. sacrificed for this country, right?

Former President George W. Bush stole his father’s excuse – health. Yet Bush, who underwent heart surgery just over three weeks ago, made it out to the Patriot Golf Day weekend at Dallas National Golf Club where he told Fox News’ Fox & Friends, “I’m feeling pretty good.”

In light of his absence, Bush issued a statement: “Laura and I thank the King family and all who work to carry on the legacy of a great man and the promise of a great nation. May we continue to march toward the day when the dignity and humanity of every person is respected.”

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
