ADE Highlights Feature on Vice Chairman Manny Diaz
To know Diaz, know his father
Manny Diaz's Jr. meteoric rise couldn't have happened without the lessons from his father
The story of how Manny Diaz Jr. got to this point is well known.
From ESPN production assistant to graduate assistant stops at Florida State and N.C. State; from full-time coach with the Wolfpack to defensive coordinator jobs at Middle Tennessee State and Mississippi State, to his arrival as defensive coordinator at Texas.
But to really understand Diaz, you must first know his father, Manny Sr.
For some, the younger Diaz is still known as the son of the former two-term Miami mayor. But don't misinterpret it; neither Diaz was handed anything in life. Manny Sr. emigrated from Cuba in 1961. He was a 19-year-old undergraduate at Florida International who had nothing when his son was born. "But he didn't see me struggle," Diaz Sr. said. Click here to read the article

ADE Congratulates Shirley Franklin on Being Named CEO Of Purpose Built Communities, Inc.
The Alliance for Digital Equality today bids farewell to Shirley Franklin, Senior Advisor to ADE, as she moves forward to a new opportunity. Franklin has accepted the positions of chair of the board and chief executive officer of Purpose Built Communities, Inc., a national nonprofit organization established to transform struggling neighborhoods into sustainable communities. The work of the organization solves issues that are close to her heart. We wish her well in her new endeavor.
According to the Communications Workers of America (CWA), the proposed merger of AT&T and T-Mobile will create as many as 96,000 new quality jobs, accelerate broadband build out, and improve wireless communications and innovation. ADE had the opportunity to speak with CWA President, Larry Cohen to talk and learn about their position on the AT&T / T-Mobile merger.
Tune in to the video:
On employment and income, for workers, this merger means badly needed jobs and higher compensation. For communities, it means increased purchasing power and for consumers, it means better offerings on the latest in technology and innovation.
Join CWA and ADE in calling for a broadband reality and support the AT&T / T-Mobile merger. Contact the FCC at www.fcc.gov today!
