Black News, Commentary and Culture | The Washington Informer

Author Archives: Sam P.K. Collins

Sam P.K. Collins has more than a decade of experience as a journalist, columnist and organizer. Sam, a millennial and former editor of WI Bridge, covers education, police brutality, politics, and other aspects of the diasporic Black experience. This journey has been inspired by his experiences growing up, attending college and serving as an educator in the nation's capital. Also of significance to Sam’s professional and personal development in the Black Press is his adherence to the “race first” philosophy espoused by the Honorable Marcus Mosiah Garvey and many others.
