Karen Brittingham‑Edmond is a Black North American scholar, author, and cultural torchbearer in Monmouth County, NJ—and publisher of Echo News TV LLC. From launching “Fun Day” at age 12 to relaunching The Echo (founded in 1904 by William Elijah Rock), she preserves Black and Lenni Lenape history while advocating for families. Her book The Bad Dream Part 1 & 2 (2025) and “Kidz Club” uplift through truth, faith, and resilience.

Echo News TV LLC demands urgent federal and state action to protect disenfranchised American tenants at The Cove by the Bay in Keansburg, NJ. Residents report broken elevators, black mold, fire-safety concerns, chronic neglect, and a federally funded pool that was never built. We call for a full investigation, enforcement of tenant rights, and accountability under HUD and civil rights laws.

The National A. Philip Randolph Pullman Porter Museum in Chicago is celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and its own 30th anniversary with special events, ongoing expansion, and a continued commitment to honoring Black labor history.
