Omega Man Fights to Find Missing African American Children

In the year (2000) The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children reported 1,159 African American children Missing. The highest numbers that organization ever recorded. The national media completely ignored that story. However, in the year 2002 the numbers of abductions cases are down. Although, the media has chosen to focus almost exclusively on missing white children. All of the white victims are now house hold names—and they deserve to be. However, our African American children are forgotten by the national media and are unknown to the American public.

Omega Man Creator & Activist, Alonzo Washington, has been on a mission to challenge the national media to give these children the national exposure they deserve. Mr. Washington traveled to the National Association of Black Journalist 27th Annual Conferencei in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to challenge the African American journalist to get more involved in covering these stories. The plan worked. Since his press conference at the convention he has appeared on CNN Headlines News, Nightly News with Aaron Brown, CNN Live with Leon Harris, Donahue on MSNBC, BET Nightly News & in a number of newspapers to address this issue. Although more needs to be done to publicize the stories of these missing kids. You can help by signing this petition:

  3. Shelby Nicole Cannon

    *** RECOVERED ***
    Was abducted by her non-custodial mother, Catherine Collins Cannon, in October of 1998 from Woodland Hills, California after she was allowed to leave the country for an agreed upon visitation to Navan, Ireland, but failed to return.)

    These pictures of her were taken when she was 2 and 4 years old.

  4. Ardena Carter NOT EVERY MISSING PREGNANT WOMAN RECEIVES NATIONAL ATTENTION.

    Ardena Carter is a native of Los Angeles, CA, who graduated with a biology degree from Howard University and is currently a graduate student at Georgia Southern. When she disappeared, she was 6 months pregnant. Her baby is due December 25, and we still have not heard from her, nor has she made contact with loved ones.

    Detectives and the FBI are working on her case, but we need to make sure Ardena's story stays in the media. Please go to her official missing person website, circulate or email her flyer, and keep us in your prayers. Ardena is loved and missed by many, and we want her home.


    Alonzo normally seeks more national media coverage for missing Black children. However, this case illustrates the clear difference & racism of the media. Ardena's case is so similar to Dru Sjodin's & Lacey Peterson's yet she has barely received any national media attention. The case is so blatant that Alonzo had to address it. A Black Woman & an unborn Black child is missing and the national media does not care.
    Anyone with information can call these numbers: (912) 764-9991 or (912) 483-8217.

  9. This story is a pure example of the bias & racism of the media. Evelyn Hernandez was 24 & pregnant when she & her son Alex Hernandez was reported missing on May 07, 2002. Her boyfriend who is married is suspected in the murder. Evlelyn's beheaded body washed up in the same bay that Laci's corpse did. However, her son & the child she was carrying was never recovered. Why didn't the national media jump on this case? If you know anything about this call the San Francisco Police Department (415) 553-1071.
