    Story by: Gail Nobles

    Today, as we face our own challenges, let us look to an incredible man who shows us what strength and determination truly mean—Terence Allan Crawford. Born in the lively city of Omaha on September 28, 1987, Terence is a champion in the ring. He is a shining example of hope and proof that we can overcome any difficulties life throws at us.

    Terence has fought his way to the top, winning world titles in four different weight classes. He didn’t just stumble into success; he worked hard, fighting with every bit of strength he had. An undisputed champion, he reminds us that real strength isn’t about never falling, but about having the courage to stand up every time we do.

    Today, let us learn from Terence’s example. Life, like boxing, is a tough battle against things that try to hold us back. The blows may come; they may hit hard, but we must keep our heads held high, standing firm and focusing on our goals.

    Let the world throw its challenges our way, for we have strength in our hearts. Every setback is a lesson, and every fall is just a chance to get back up. Just as Terence has raised those championship belts, we too can own the triumphs in our own lives. We must not let our hardships define us.

    Like Terrence, we need to train our minds and spirits building determination in our toughest moments. Our true character shines through. Each day let us shine to be better, stronger, and unite in our fight for our dreams.

    When the final round comes, may we look back and say I gave it my own I face the struggle and came out not just surviving but thriving.

    Terence Crawford is one of only three male boxers in history to become the undisputed champion in two weight classes in the “four belt era.”

    Crawford was named fighter of the year by the Boxing Writers Association of America in 2014 and by ESPN in 2014 and 2017.

    Terrence Crawford resembles professional boxer Tommy Hearns, who fought from 1977 to 2006. There was a period when boxing seemed to be losing it appeal but seeing dedicated fighters like Terrence Crawford reignites my interest in the sport.

    Stephan James was called by author Kelly L. Carter the new powerhouse about action and activism. I must agree. I must agree. He starred in the 2019 movie 21 Bridges with Chadwick Boseman. It was an action thriller film directed by Brian Kirk and written by Adam Mervis and Matthew Michael Carnahan, based on a story by Mervis. After starring in a string of television series as a teenager, the Canadian actor rose to prominence upon winning a Canadian Screen Award for Best Actor for his role as track and field sprinter Jesse Owens in the 2016 film Race.In

    2018, he starred in Barry Jenkins' acclaimed drama film If Beale Street Could Talk, based on the James Baldwin novel of the same name. Also that year, he portrayed Walter Cruz in the Amazon series Homecoming, for which he received a Golden Globe Award nomination.

    Stephan James reminds me of Chadwick Boseman. Often I think of Chadwick Boseman and how great he was in acting. It hurt that he had to leave us. I wanted to see him do more movies for the comicbook hero Black Panther. I know that it’s hard to let Chadwick go. He left his mark on the character, but we no longer have him to play the characters.

    The movie is becoming just like what happened in the comic books. Several characters have taken on the mantle of Black Panther. It’s too soon for that in my opinion. We only got to see the character once in movies. The Black Panther character needs a chance to grow in the movies.

    There are probably various storylines like there are a number of characters for the Black Panther. We need to continue to see the Black Panther.

    Stephan James could play the role of the Black Panther. Like Chadwick, he has remarkable acting charisma that captivates audiences. He could also bring strength, dignity, and depth to the character. He has the ability to convey emotion.

    Thank you for listening to Ebonliner.

    Superstretch and Microwoman are fictional shape-shifting, husband and wife crime-fighting cartoon characters. They are a husband and wife crime fighting team. They were shown as a segment of Tarzan and the Super 7 television series 1978-1980).

    On the surface Chris and Christy Cross were just your average suburban couple. But when they sprang into action, Chris could take virtually any shape (such as a plane, a robot, a rubber ball, a perfect double of a villain, etc.). Christy could, as her name implied, shrink to microscopic size. Frequently tagging along on their adventures was their little dog, Trouble. The duo was a new concept for superhero cartoons in that they were the first African-American man/woman duo, and that they did not change into superhero costumes when the need to use their powers came, or adopt a "secret identity", simply wearing ordinary clothes.
    I see listed 11 episodes of the cartoon listed from 1978. Maybe somebody will make new episodes for the cartoon or maybe even a movie.
