Ensign Jesse L. Brown

Greater Houston Area

Jim Crow South

Jesse L. Brown was born October 13, 1926. He was an African American aviator in the U.S. Navy.

From Hattiesburg, Mississippi, he was one of six children born to Julia Lindsey Brown, a schoolteacher, and John Brown, a grocery warehouse worker.

When Brown was six years old, his father took him to an air show.

Brown gained an intense interest in flying from this experience, and afterward, was attracted to a dirt airfield near his home, which he visited frequently in spite of being chased away by a local mechanic. At the age of thirteen, Brown took a job as a paperboy for the Pittsburgh Courier, a black press paper and developed a desire to pilot while reading in the newspaper about African-American aviators of the time including C. Alfred Anderson, Eugene Jacques Bullard, and Bessie Coleman.

He also became an avid reader of Popular Aviation and the Chicago Defender, which he later said heavily influenced his desire to fly naval aircraft.

Congressman Al Green

See Pg 4

“I am a son of the segregated south. I love my country. I salute the flag. I say the pledge of allegiance.

However, the truth is that although I love my country, a good many of my countrymen haven’t always love me” Congressman Al Green

In his childhood, he was described as "serious, witty, unassuming, and very intelligent." In 1937, he wrote a letter to U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt in which he complained of the injustice of African American pilots being kept out of the U.S. Army Air Corps.

Before Ball There Was Me Earl Ofari Hutchinson Author & Political Analyst

The first thought I had when news broke about the alleged store thefts in China by UCLA freshman basketball player LiAngelo Ball and two teammates was not about him or them, but me. Apart from the alleged thefts happening in a foreign country and the space of decades in time, it was almost a carbon copy of the situation I faced as a star football player at a Los Angeles high school.

I and a couple of other football buddies were charged with theft

from a local department store. We were paraded out of the store in handcuffs by four LAPD officers.

At the local station, we were grilled by detectives on the alleged theft.

I was given a stern warning that I would be prosecuted if I didn’t confess. I did. I was released later that evening. However, that did not end the ordeal. When I was being taken from the store in cuffs, one of the parents of one of my football teammates spotted me.

She stared in disbelief as I was being led away. The next day, this was the buzz on the campus, I was called into the coach’s office. I was grilled again by the coach and the vice principal on my actions and the detention. I was threatened with suspension from the team and from class for several days. It did not go any further than the threat and a warning. There was a reason I was a star lineman, and was one of the leaders in number of tackles.

I was just too valuable to cut loose even for one game. This less-thana-hand slap punishment was done almost with a wink and a nod.

This little drama with crime, the police, school officials and the coaches reinforced an attitude that was already deeply ingrained in me and the other start performers on the team. We were special. We could pretty much do what we wanted without fear of punishment as long as we were a valued sports commodity. I rarely carried a book, let alone cracked it. I knew that all I had to do was go through the motions in the classroom, and I would be assured of passing.

This heavy sense of entitlement and a virtual free pass to do whatever I pleased without any real fear of repercussion or punishment was like living in fairy tale land. This total dimmed my sense of responsibility, respect for rules and the law, and ethical behavior. The athletic pedestal, I, and the others, were

on didn’t dim. It obliterated our moral compass. The entitlement syndrome that I, and other top athletes, had was almost unshakeable and in far too many other cases took a huge tool on the lives of several other top athletes at the school. They also were pampered, coddled, and sheltered so long that once there playing days were over they nose-dived into a downward spiral of drugs, alcohol, domestic abuse, job loss and repeated run ins with the law.

It was no surprise then that Trump would intervene on behalf of the three UCLA players to secure their release. It was no surprise that Chinese authorities quickly agreed to their release.

It will be no surprise if the three receive a hand slap punishment for their alleged crimes.

Ball is a touted athlete. His father, through his outrageous selfpromotion and commercialism of his sons, has virtually insured that NCAA and UCLA officials will tread very carefully on what kind of discipline they mete out to the players. The NCAA, for its part, has been all over the map in how it punishes schools for violations of its athlete discipline rules and guidelines. It pretty much leaves the discipline game to the schools. That almost always means that player punishment for infractions is dumped back into the laps of coaches. These are the same coaches who know their big salaries, coaching tenure and future coaching prospects depend on one thing and one thing only how many “Ws” is on their resume. University presidents and top officials also know the importance of the bushels of dollars and prestige that a successful, well-oiled football or basketball program can bring to their institution.

What Tax Reform Means for District 30 Hon. Sheila Jackson Lee District 18 Congresswoman

After countless hours of debate and many months of waiting, a vote on tax reform is finally upon us. The Trump Administration has made many promises to the American people, including a promise to make sure that the middle class is not left behind. The Republican tax reform bills in both the House and Senate not only fail to fulfill this basic principle, but each will also set the U.S. economy back in an unprecedented transfer of wealth at the expense of working and middle class families all across our nation.

This week in Congress, Members of both parties will have the opportunity to vote on a tax bill that will impact each and every American household. The House will consider H.R. 1 - the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act this week, while the Senate is expected to consider its version the week after Thanksgiving. A host of tax credits and deductions are on the chopping block -- such as individual credits and deductions, child tax credits, student loan interest deductions, and lifetime learning credits -- in an effort to fund a bill that will decrease corporate taxes by 15%, consolidate individual tax rates into just 4 new brackets, and repeal both the estate tax and alternative minimum tax to the great benefit of wealthy Americans and U.S. corporations.

I will vote “no” on this upcoming tax bill as I believe it truly does more harm than good for the American people. The Republican tax plan will raise taxes for 36 million middle class families and

cause further harm to lower-income Americans. Over the last two decades, I have been committed to fighting for livable wages and better job opportunities for every American. The Republican tax plan ignores the needs of the general public, and would further burden future generations with an additional $1.7 trillion in national debt over 10 years. Tax reform should be used as a tool to prop up the American people, not burden them with expenses and incentives for the wealthiest Americans and biggest corporations.

There is a tremendous amount at risk under this plan. Students, teachers, working families, the elderly, and others will suffer under the existing plan. For example:

Education: In the 30th District of Texas alone, 20,624 people will lose the student loan interest deduction under the GOP bill, according to a new analysis by the Center for American Progress. Altogether, the House GOP bill raises taxes on 36 million middle class families nationwide.

State and Local Tax Deduction: This proposal seeks to largely eliminate the State and Local Tax (SALT) Deduction, but allows for a property tax deduction of up to $10,000. The bill would impose an unfair double tax on middle class families, driving down home values, and endangering local governments’ ability to fund law enforcement, schools, and health services.

Editorial & Opinion

Confessions of a Black Identity ‘extremist’

In full acknowledgment of the FBI’s leaked recent statement that a “black identity extremist” movement presents a domestic threat to national security, I do hereby humbly admit to being a Black identity extremist.

I believe in the original Black Panther Party’s Ten-Point Program with some slight adjustments for gender inclusivity. I do not believe in violence of any sort save for that enacted in self-defense. I also believe that we could radically alter the common sense gun debate if Black folks legally armed themselves and joined the NRA. I celebrate Kwanzaa and I have done so for my entire life. I believe in the Nguza Saba, the seven principles of Kwanzaa: Unity, SelfDetermination, Collective Work and Responsibility, Cooperative Economics, Purpose, Creativity, and Faith. I celebrate and practice these principles with family and with my community on an ongoing basis.

I direct an Africana Studies program at an elite institution in the state of Pennsylvania. I hire and work with faculty who research, teach, and write about Black people throughout the African Diaspora.

I believe that this research writing and teaching is beneficial to people from all backgrounds and that it is impossible to understand the history and culture of America without a deep and abiding understanding of the history and culture of Black people in America.

I believe that the Abolition movement against America’s “peculiar institution” of chattel slavery in the 19th century and the Civil Rights movement of the 20th Century are the blueprints for social justice movements all over the world. Black peoples’ efforts to resist tyranny and oppression and their capacity to survive systemic

anti-Black violence are amongst the most extraordinary feats in the history of humanity.

I believe that humanity originated on the continent of Africa and that African civilizations were the first human civilizations. I believe that the rape and plunder of the African continent, in terms of both human and material resources, is the greatest most consistently sustained form of globalized, organized crime in the history of this world. Our willful ignorance of these histories is the second greatest crime.

I believe that Identity Politics are and will continue to be a permanent feature of our body politic.

Those that argue or suggest that people of color should dispense with these political instruments often refuse to acknowledge the extent to which white identity politics distort and diminish our national political experiment.

Inclusive identity politics are but one solution to the current iteration of white solidarity politics that regularly play in the anti-Black “sandboxes” of white nationalism and white supremacy.

I believe in the power of Black arts and Black culture. I am an ardent fan of Public Enemy, Lauryn Hill, Blackstar (aka Mos Def/Yaasin Bey and Talib Kweli), Queen Latifah, X-Clan, Poor Righteous Teachers, Lupe Fiasco, Rapsody, and Kendrick Lamar. I believe that Solange’s album, “A Seat at the Table” is better than all of Beyonce’s albums combined. I never dress up for Halloween, but I plan on attending the premier of Marvel/Disney’s Black Panther film in some any kind of attire that signals the excitement that the Black community has surrounding this important superhero film.

A Hater can’t do nothing But Hate!

The young people of today have developed a term that describes, someone who is discouragingly negative about someone else for no other reason than having a hateful motive. That term is known as being a, “hater.” I love the phrase that Rapper Kanye West gave in reference to the subject. He says,

Although I love the thought, I must admit that it is hard to love a hater when he is responsible for making executive decisions that could have long-lasting affects on the way you, your children and your society lives and is governed. As it is, African-Americans and other minority groups that exist within these United States are confronted with one of the most notorious haters ever known to our government. As sad as it may be, our greatest hater is the one who serves as Commanderin-Chief, President Donald Trump.

It is obvious that “his-story” of former President Barack Obama cannot be left untold; because it is known amongst our society today.

So the next best thing to trying to white-wash his legacy is to, sabotage and destroy anything that he executed or implemented while in office. This is exactly what the current POTUS has been doing and sounding the alarm against, since he first stepped foot on Pennsylvania Avenue in his new role. The strong hatred that Donald Trump has tried and is constantly trying to impose and inflict on the legacy of the former president is merely a serious

reflection of how he truly feels about Black folks, females, minorities or any other group that is not affiliated with the small circle that he views top priority. It is one thing to be a hater, but to be so blinded by racist hatred that you cannot perform your own duty as POTUS is a major red flag as a leader. But what else can be said? Because a hater can’t do nothing but hate!

Take for instance one of the latest tragedies that occurred within our military defense team, resulting in the death of Sergeant La David Johnson. There is nothing more heartwrenching than having to face the burdensome task of burying a loved one, on any kind of level.

However, in this case there were four American soldiers who lost their lives carrying out orders executed by the current President.

Amongst those four U.S. soldiers, the expecting widow of Sergeant Johnson has had to face even more difficulty and humiliation in her hour of bereavement. It was not enough that President Trump called her in a very unsympathetic manner. During their conversation, Myeisha Johnson recalled the President stumbling over her husband’s name. To add injury to insult he suggested that her husband, “knew what he was getting into.”

Undoubtedly any person that enlists in the military are equipped with the knowledge of pros and cons that exists with serving the nation. Be that as it may, no one genuinely signs up for a task with the expectancy that the worst will happen to them. Nevertheless, there is a time and place for everything.

This is exactly why POTUS words were completely disconnected and delivered at the worst possible time in regards making what should have been, a call of respect and demonstration of empathy. But once again, when you are A Hater by nature, you

We MUST Understand

By Roy Douglas Malonson, Chairman

Can’t do Nothing but Hate. I don’t have very many positive things to state about this President, but one thing that I can convey is that he does hold true to being who he is, “A Hater”.

This hater has proven time and time again that he is a complete moron, who lacks the basic human attribute of displaying any type of empathy. It is obvious that he is not only a hater, but a racist hater at the very least. He couldn’t hide it even if he tried, so I suppose he just figures he shouldn’t. Even in the midst of a national tragedy inflicted upon soldiers under his command, it is hard for the President to overlook skin color. It is impossible for him to have any type of empathy whatsoever, when it come to addressing those who do not look like him. He is ruthless and thoughtless in every way.

Continuing, Myeisha Johnson stated during an interview on “Good Morning America,” “It made me cry because I was very angry at the tone of his voice and how he said it.

He couldn’t remember my husband’s name.” The President immediately contradicted the bereaved widow’s statement through Twitter. He tweeted, “I had a very respectful conversation with the widow of Sgt. La David Johnson, and spoke his name from beginning, without hesitation!” Donald Trump is a known liar, so it doesn’t take much to read between the lines and determine what really happened, just based on the type of character that he demonstrates. So at the end of the day, all I can conclude is that the President is doing what he does best. HE IS A HATER, AND A HATER CAN’T DO NOTHING BUT HATE!

noticed there was a developing trend as he was chosen and elected to serve as a leader on multiple occasions. To a certain extent, he said that “becoming class president resulted from other people encouraging me to do so, for reasons that they thought were appropriate; but, without that encouragement, I would not have pursued the opportunity.”

Initially, he had an interest in engineering and started on an educational path to matriculate at institutions of higher education with strong programs in that field. Consequently, he studied at Howard University in Washington, D.C., and later attended Tuskegee Institute of Technology in Tuskegee, Alabama.

He eventually returned to Florida A&M University, where he became heavily involved in marching and protesting in the Civil Rights Movement and was in the process of running for student body president. While walking across the campus one day, a counselor at the university encouraged him to converse with a recruiter that was interviewing students for law school. Green proceeded to talk to Mr. Jethro Curry who was recruiting for Texas Southern University’s School of Law. Unbeknownst to him, the hour-long conversation he had with Mr. Curry served to spark the fulfillment of the definition of his birth name, “helper of humankind.”

Failure Was Not an Option

At a time when a person’s word was his bond and a handshake sufficed for contracts, Green journeyed to Houston on the promise made

by Mr. Curry. Mr. Curry was an authoritative figure who could make and enforce decisions. He assured Green that he would be able to attend law school on a grant and have a job working with a professor. Undoubtedly, this influential

character recognized something in Green that past instructors and educators noticed in earlier years.

During that recruitment process, Green was the only student to be recruited for law school from Florida A&M University. Thus, once he reached the campus of TSU without an undergraduate degree, he was convinced that “failure was not an option” for him.

As a law student, he earned awards in the areas of Federal Procedure and Conflicts. Within a 28-month period, he earned his Juris Doctor degree in 1973 from Thurgood Marshall School of Law. Prior to fulfilling his requirements for law school, he took and passed the bar exam. In regards to his educational efforts at that time, he said, “I did all of these things, not because I was smart, but because I had a fear of failure. So, I had to succeed.”

Once Green attained his legal credentials, he began practicing law in Houston. While integration measures had taken place, the crippling and divisive impact that it left on African-Americans had yet to become a distant memory. Aware of the mentality that existed in some of those who operated within his profession, he chose to remain steadfast in his career goal of practicing law. This was evident when he gave little thought to being denied a position in the Harris County District Attorney’s office. Instead of being bitter, he united with some of his colleagues, and together they established the Houston law firm of Green, Wilson, Dewberry, and Fitch.

Soaring through the Ranks While co-managing Green, Wilson, Dewberry, and Fitch, he received a call from a dear friend who asked him to consider a municipal court judgeship. Coincidentally, another friend phoned him and asked him to consider a position as judge of a justice court. After taking both proposals

into account and consulting with several members from the Black Organization for Leadership Development (BOLD), where he served as president, he left the law firm to pursue the justice court judgeship. In 1977, he was appointed Justice of the Peace, Precinct 7, Position 2, in Harris County.

Moreover, the Honorable Al Green served in the office of Justice of the Peace for 26 years until his retirement in 2004. His biography boasts, “Throughout his career, he has enjoyed the respect of his colleagues, as well as a wide cross-section of community leaders who have praised his legal skills, impeccable character, and ability to work with people of diverse backgrounds.” Additionally, he served as president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) – Houston Branch. Under his leadership, the branch saw a massive influx in its membership and expansion of staff.

As we continued in our interview, the Honorable Al Green synopsized his induction into the United States House of Representatives by revealing the following: “One night I went to bed in the 18th Congressional

District and the next morning when I awakened, I was in the 9th Congressional District. I found out that the boundary lines for the 9th Congressional District aligned favorably with the boundaries of the justice court. After conversing with friends, a decision was made to run for Congress. I did and the rest is history.” Though the humbled Congressman used the term “history” lightly, truthfully, his election solidified for him a true place in American history. He is the first African-American to represent the people of the 9th Congressional District of Texas.

Since being elected, he has made significant political contributions to the American people. He serves on the Financial Services Committee and three subcommittees: Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit, Monetary Policy and Trade, as well as Oversight and Investigations where he holds the position of Ranking Member.

Within the Democratic Party, he serves as the Assistant Whip.

Furthermore, his congressional experience is extensive and extremely impressive, especially in his support of minorities and underserved communities.

A brief snippet of a few of his

works and past/present memberships and affiliations are listed in the following: co-founder of the Black and Brown Coalition, creator of the Houston NAACP Fair Share Program, adamant supporter of SEIU Justice for Janitors campaign, member of the Congressional Black Caucus, member of the Executive Board of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus, served on the Asian American Action Fund Honorary Board, and consistently served as a voice for the underserved and underrepresented groups of America.

Over the years, Congressman Green’s exemplary service and dedication to the community has afforded him the honor to become the recipient of numerous awards such as the Texas Association of REALTORS Legacy Award (2011), Texas Black Democrats’ Profiles of Courage Award (2007), the AFLCIO MLK Drum Major Award for Service (2007), Ebony Magazine’s 100 Most Influential Black People (2006) and the NAACP Mickey Leland Humanitarian Award from both the Houston and Fort Bend branches. The City of Houston also named “Al Green Day” in his honor. In the past, he also taught

Congressman Green is grateful for the valued fundamentals instilled in him by his family. From an early age, he was taught the “importance of positive preparation through education and the need for righteous resistance to overcome persistent injustice.” As the oldest grandchild in his family, the majority of his relatives participated in his childhood development. In addition to his parents and grandparents, he recognizes his aunt who helped withrearing him.

The Challenges

When asked about challenges that he has encountered in his career, Congressman Green juxtaposed his former seat as judge and his current office in Congress.

He explained, “As a judge, there are decisions that could be made rather quickly - if you made a decision that needed to be reversed, you could do it yourself. You could make a decision and change a decision.”

On the contrary he expressed, “In Congress, you have to get 217 other people to agree with you, assuming that all of the seats are filled. So, it is different because you are working to obtain 218 votes to get things done. In Congress, it’s not unusual for a piece of legislation that passes to look like an overnight success, but in reality, it may have taken 20 years to develop. Much of what we see as legislation passing today has been in the works for years.”

He continued, “Persons who generate legislation don’t always pass it; hence, you have to have a long-term view of Congress when it comes to getting some things done, as opposed to being in court wherein it’s expected that you would make a ruling right away.”
