New Horizons Community Development Corp.

08/17/2026

To the Diaspora of People of Color in and around the Valley of Aurora, CO: AWAKE.

On August 14, 2026, the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) Board of Directors was sworn in — now holding fiduciary power over Colorado’s DDA statute and the Tax Increment Financing (TIF) engine projected to drive ~$8B+ in economic impact over the next 10–20 years.

This massive redevelopment will reshape a narrow stretch of East Colfax — from just east of Yosemite to just west of Peoria, between 14th and 16th Avenues — the officially designated DDA Impact Zone.

But the Community Development Corporation (CDC) — the structure intended to protect legacy residents from displacement and ensure community-led governance — extends far beyond those boundaries.

WAKE UP. Here are the FACTS:
-> ~$9B+ projected economic impact
-> 10– 20-year redevelopment horizon
-> The DDA was approved by only 170 voters in a Ward of ~50,000 residents. Less than 1% participation. Decisions are being made about us, not with us.
-> A City-guided CDC process restarted for the 4th time on August 6th.
-> A community-rooted CDC already exists called, New Horizons CDC–Colorado (NHCDC‑CO) — founded through R&D beginning in 2016, launched in 2023, and located inside the DDA Impact Zone at 1445 Dayton St., Aurora, CO 80010.
-> NHCDC is operating with an Approved Gateway CommUNITY Information & Workflow(c) Architecture licensed and approved for implementation at Dayton St. Opportunity Center (DSOC) for used by NHCDC and DSOC management and administration.

You are invited — by appointment — to come see us, learn the truth, and more importantly:

There's Plenty GOOD ROOM!
Get involved in the struggle for Economic Equity across our CommUNITY and throughout the Diaspora.

Greetings!

My 3rd Party Voting Brother in Christ is trying to make amends for his misstep and misguided efforts in attempting to influence others to protest the candidates available to us in the vote this past Fall. A whole group of people in various communities nationwide embraced an identical thought process. They, like him, forgot a critical principle of mass protest: ensure there are enough votes to elect a candidate where YOU can have an audience that will hear your protest and, more importantly, be positioned to do something about it!

To facilitate this, he provided the US Government Switchboard, where WE can call, get a live operator, and be switched directly to a live staff member at the office of his, and others', "president," senator, or representative.

Will someone try to contact the Office of Elon Musk[y?] and let me know?

For Your Information (FYI): PRAY, then Call 202-224-3121, then PRAY again more fervently!!!

ALL - Get, or Stay, Fully Clothed! Most of ALL, Stay WOKE!!

Hoping All Watched: Great Migrations: A People on The Move
https://www.pbs.org/show/great-migrations-a-people-on-the-move/
This was a wonderful journal of the movement of Black people from the South to the North due to perceived or false promises of economic opportunity. One example reminded me of a "scheme" that provided immigrants with buses and planes and promises of jobs in sanctuary cities up north. Does this sound familiar? Abd, the results appear to be similar so far?

The program concluded by acknowledging "Reverse Migration." Now, and hopefully without sounding judgmental, let's be real in discussing our issues. Today, this is more important and urgent than ever! Here are some points for a real discussion and action plan:
1. Reverse Migration or Focused Reinvestment to/in the South
2. Collaborative/Collective Work (UJIMA)

Of course, these points cannot be fully expanded upon here due to space constraints and the need for diverse perspectives.

To begin, the March on Washington demonstrated the national power of a people when focused on ONE issue TOGETHER! Why has the power of the March, the gatherings of the African American Summits, and the Muslim in America movements and strategic plans not synergized and concentrated the power of self-governance and empowerment?

When advancement is made for one or a few, there is an associated demand/responsibility that the benefit is replicated internally across the diaspora. The benefit MUST NOT be held among a "clique" or "entitled" group.

How many are entitled to probating Heir property that YOU, or others in your family, have abandoned/discounted? I've heard ALL the excuses and, i many cases, from haters with reason.
The key question is, ""What'cha Gonna Do with What'cha Got?!
For if you do nothing, I guarantee you that others will control it for you—legally or NOT!

Once you view the documentary presented by PBS, you will hear loudly the problem of migration became:
1. NO or menial jobs
2. Few or redlined housing

I offer a belief that controlling land directly impacts the opportunity to create jobs and housing. However, this opportunity must be seized collectively. Everyone must contribute what they have, be it little or large, to a COLLECTIVE table of UJIMA. Will You Give of Your Given Tine, Talent, o Treasury in support of that which will reward others AND yourself? Will you Give Knowing?

I pray tonight that when I wake and work Friday, God willing, at least ONE person will join this discussion/movement with a vision for ACTION in 2025.
Remember, our ice is just as cold as anyone's ice when frozen—together or apart!
God Speed!

Great Migrations explores how a series of Black migrations have shaped America.

Today, I realized the first step of a long-term ministry that began in 1970: tracing and documenting the origin of the Walker Family's existence here on God's green earth. Specifically, the Nicholas Orlando Walker Family, currently located in Colorado and Texas, with partial holdings in Arkansas. All holdings are identified and listed in the Nicholas O. and Rosa L. Walker Trust.

The story begins in the 19th century when a German-Jewish immigrant family pioneered an area in Arkansas later identified as Pine Bluff and eventually incorporated into Jefferson County.

At that time, slavery remained the chief economic driver for the cotton crop and other agricultural operations that sprang up along the Arkansas River. The twist in our story came when a young German-Jew named Adolph Altschul "somehow" identified a "mulatto woman" whose family hailed from South Carolina. Her name was Margaret "Maggie" Carson. I can't wait to discover how that happened and learn more about her as a teenager brought to Arkansas from South Carolina.

The beauty of the story, however, peaks at several points leading up to the children and the Last Will and Testament of Adolph. Those points will come later as God wills. For now, know that "Maggie" provided Adolph with:
1. Several children, one of whom was my great-grandmother, Emma Altschul, who married a Smith and bore several more children. One of those children was my grandmother, Ada. Ada then married an Ames man and bore my mother, Edna. I was the firstborn.
2. A business partner. Maggie worked in the mercantile store owned by the Altschul family called BAMES. So, she was a business partner and, I suspect, not laboring in the field.
3. An Estate Executor. Adolph's Last Will and Testament specifies a "Love Letter" to his "wife, Maggie (not considered under the laws of this state,) my lawful wife, whom I have love and affection for and consider my true and lawful wife..."
In short, this "mulatto woman" blew Mr. Altschul's mind, of course, in my humble opinion!

So, to my wife and children—my extended and biological family—whom I have love and affection for and consider my true and lawful family, What 'Cha Gonna do with What 'cha Got?
