created the Street Olympics with a mission to implement and sustain free programs that provide training, support and resources that lead to healthy and productive lives. And it has done just that for nearly three generations by touching the lives of thousands of youth who have gone into successful careers.

Lee steadfastly believed that if you create opportunities for young people, you can bring out the best in them. That’s what Street Olympics is about, providing a forum and opportunities for youth.

It’s only fitting that this year’s Street Olympics Summer Games activities commemorated Lee. On this 30th anniversary of the Summer Games, a component of the Street Olympics, we are still grateful that Lee recognized that children need a safety net because they are most

Wandaring Outloud Media

By LaWanda Thomas

Y

ou gotta love a show that opens with the Chuck Brown Go-go anthem “We Need Money” and Anika Noni Rose packing a pistol.

Rose makes her debut in Power as Officer Laverne “Jukebox” Ganner, an apparently “corrupt” DC cop who is in cahoots with two young robbery suspects. She handles an out control situation in which the convenience store clerk triggers a silent alarm by ordering Whoopie, one of the culprits, to shoot the store owner and then putting one in his chest. She tells the other assailant, who was unaware that his boy had planned this particular robbery, to leave because she “got this”. And she does! She handles the media briefing about the shooting like a pro, even pandering to concerns about the plight of young Black men in this country.

From jump, we can tell that Jukebox is going to be a trip, but what does she have to do with what’s going on with the crew in NYC? The link becomes clear when she gets home and we learn

vulnerable in the summer. During my tenure as county commissioner, I stressed the importance of upholding my dear friend’s legacy through Street Olympics and other important programs. This year, I challenged Precinct One employees to increase the number of youth and agencies participating in this storied program.

This summer, we focused on the Summer Games, which culminated Aug. 5 with the Final Event. However, Street Olympics is a year-round program that offers environmental education through the Discovery Camp/Traveling Naturalist; swimming lessons and training through the Harris County Aquatics Program; and teen and young adult clinics in the Northeast Adolescents Program However, Street Olympics is a year-round

program that offers environmental education through the Discovery Camp/Traveling Naturalist; swimming lessons and training through the Harris County Aquatics Program; and teen and young adult clinics in the Northeast Adolescents Program.

Throughout the summer, 3,500 children at 50 Street Olympics participating youth agencies competed against each other in their respective centers in so-called “street games” that include jacks, Hula Hoop, hopscotch, foot races and jump rope.

The best athletes from each agency were invited to NRG Arena for the Final Event, which included a Parade of Champions, competition for medals and the ever-popular Bright Futures Fair, where 95 companies, community agencies and health care providers will offer an

array of educational activities that hopefully will place youth on the right career path.

Lee also knew the trip to NRG Arena would give inner-city children – many unable to afford vacations – an opportunity to get out of their communities and meet new friends.

If you ever want to know if the program is working, just take a look at the smiles on children’s faces when they march into the arena, compete in sports and receive medals on the podium.

To make it all possible, Lee had the foresight to create the intricate web of public, private and nonprofit agencies that are dedicated to the Street Olympics’ mission. That’s why Street Olympics will continue for many generations.

Power Recap Season 3 Episode 3 – I Got This On Lock

that Kanan is in her care, although seriously injured. He’s not all burned up like he should be for killing Shawn but he is does look like hell.

Back in NY, Ghost is still chasing Angela. Literally. The two are out for a morning run. Competitive bamas.

(Bama=DC slang. Look it up.) They replay the weekend and Angie wants to know why Ghost left her alone with his kids on their first visit. Ghost tells her that everything is ok and that he has “everything on lock.” Ghost gives Angie a head start to race back to the apartment. He takes a moment to text Tommy while Greg creepily looks on from across the street.

Tommy gets Ghost’s text as he is getting into the SUV with Tasha and Holly. Tommy ignores Ghost’s text and his phone calls. Tasha has taken them on a field trip to see their next money laundering operation-they are getting into the hair weave business. Tasha is a genius. One could wash billions in bundles. Tasha breaks down the plan including involving Keisha’s salon.

Keisha is excited about the opportunity to work with Tasha and to make some money but is not privy to money laundering aspect of this deal. She is also giving Tasha the side-eye for

bringing overeager Holly in, reminding her that this is the same chic who stole her earrings. (Side-eye=look that says, “Get a clue Tasha. This the same Holly that went into your closet on her visit to your home and stole your earrings and had the nerve to wear them in your face! Hello!”) Tasha should be wary but instead assures Keisha that it’s ok.

After being abandoned by Ghost, and getting choked out and screamed on by Tommy, Julio is finally getting the happy ending his sexy behind deserves. In his premiere Power sex scene, Julio is knocking down one of Shin’s “massage therapists” who tells him that the coke he provided is weak.

Julio calls Tommy and they meet with Shin to let him know that someone is cutting his product and weakening their brand. Shin plays it cool but later disciplines his son for stealing my making him chop off his pinky finger. Now that’s what I called accountability.

Down south, Jukebox is trying to get to the truth of what happened to Kanan. Turns out she and Kanan are cousins who grew up together. She was there for him when he dropped his first body. He was there for her when her mom kicked her out of the house for being gay. A family bond

aside, Jukebox is no joke. She withholds Kanan’s pain pills and sends her girlfriend in to seduce him. The girlfriend instead gives him lean which does loosen his tongue a bit. Jukebox figures out that Ghost got the better of Kanan.

The Pageantry Is Over; Now We Must Focus On The Hard Work Rev. Al Sharpton President, National Action Network

L

ast weekend I will be in Ferguson, MO with the mother and father of Michael Brown as they mark the second anniversary of their son’s gruesome death at the hands of police. Two weeks ago, I led memorial marches and calls for justice for Eric Garner, a police choke-hold victim who also died in 2014.

These two horrific cases ignited a resurgence of movements that call for police and criminal justice reform.

Slogans like “I can’t breathe,” movements like Black Lives Matter, hashtags and chants like “hands up, don’t shoot,” and many more became symbolic with a national push for change. As I sat at the MSNBC booth at the Democratic National Convention giving remarks about Mothers of the Movement (who spoke at the DNC), I thought of these two tragedies sandwiched around both conventions.

Having worked with many of these mothers, I was glad to see them on stage in Philadelphia, but I feel as though we as a society collectively get caught up in the pageantry and forget that the wheels of justice have been slow to move — if it all. Two years after the deaths of Garner and Brown, we must ask, where are we now?

While many have been immersed in political coverage because of this crucial election, we cannot lose sight of the fact that there has been no accountability in many of these tragic deaths, and criminal justice reform cannot be pushed to the back-burner.

The Justice Department still has not ruled in the Garner case, and there has been no justice at all in many other incidents. Cases against police officers involved in the death of Freddie Gray were dropped last week but that went largely unnoticed by delegates gathered at the convention. Our task must be to not only highlight abuses, but to also solve these issues with new legislation that lowers the jurisdictional threshold

for the Justice Department to charge in these cases, as well as laws that require independent prosecutors to be brought in when there is an officer-involved death.

My organization, National Action Network (NAN), held a luncheon on the final day of the DNC where we convened over 300 faith and denomination leaders to emphasize these very issues. We welcomed New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman who addressed the audience and who has been working with Mothers of the Movement (who were honored at the luncheon) to get Governor Cuomo to appoint special prosecutors for killings by police. This must become national law. And this must be front and center during this election because our needs, our concerns and our voices cannot be dismissed or silenced.

Another key area that NAN has been heavily involved in is raising awareness around the issue of voter suppression. Since 2011, we have been bringing attention to, educating and pushing back against new voter ID laws, an end to early voting days, elimination of same-day registration and other methods of disenfranchising voters. Last week, a federal appeals court struck down North Carolina’s voter ID law, while in Wisconsin, a federal district court judge ruled that parts of Wisconsin’s 2011 voter ID law were unconstitutional. Meanwhile, a state court halted an attempt in Kansas to require proof of citizenship in order to register. While it is good news that these courts have agreed with us, the rulings can still be appealed and even more troubling is the fact that there are some 14 other states that still have these kinds of laws on the books that discriminate primarily against people of color and the poor. NAN and I have been warning about these new draconian laws for years and for the first time in a Presidential election they will be in place in states all across this country with detrimental effects that we have yet to see.

Election 2016 will be here before we know it; our issues must be addressed, it is as simple as that.

“Freedom is never given. It is won.” We cannot expect them to stop treating us as second class citizens until and unless we stop believing that we are second class citizens and until we stop behaving as second class citizens. - A Philip Randolph

WHY MUST WE FIGHT THOSE WE FOUGHT FOR?

T

homas Sowell once made reference to a thought that is very true in nature to me. In it he suggested that, “No one will really understand politics until they understand that politicians are not trying to solve their own problems – of which getting elected and re-elected are number one and number two. Whatever is number three is far behind.” I know that a lot of people consider politicians as untrustworthy and over the years I have tried to give some of them the benefit of the doubt. But I just will never understand why we as members of the African-American community fight for people and in return; we have to go back and fight with the same people that we fought for. It really makes me wonder what the purpose was to begin with anyway. The most tragic thing about the whole situation is that these are people that look just like us, that used us to get to where they wanted to be and then abandoned us once they did.

I am sick and tired of fighting for people and then later on having to go back and fight with the same people that I was fighting for to begin with. This element happens an awful lot in the Black community and it needs to be brought to the fore-front. There have been so many people that have come to me for help on several occasions.

Many of them have been politicians who as long as they were running for an office, you couldn’t pay them to go away. But the moment they get to the point where they feel that they had arrived then you couldn’t touch them with a pole. It would be different if it was clearly obvious that they were

keeping busy trying to hold up to all of the objectives and goals that they initially stated they wanted to tackle, when they were trying to win people over but majority of the time they ain’t busy working on no tasks.

Don’t get me wrong I’m not referring to all politicians, because there are a lot of politicians that are truly doing their jobs and still have enough humility to go back and show their gratitude to the people that supported them. But, I am a living witness that has personally supported people running for office and then when they win and I host functions they send representatives to represent for them. To me that is a slap in the face! This is another reason I ask the question, “Why must we fight those that we fought for?” It makes no sense to me whatsoever!

Because African-American News&Issues is a publication that has thrived over 20 years addressing and highlighting historical realities affecting our community; I feel that this is an issue that needs to be addressed. Members of our community should not be used as a spare tire or as a stepping stone to get to the next level. Although it would appear that if a person, community or sect of people fights for a person to get to a position; that that person would always appreciate and remember the love, support and sacrifice of those who helped them. It would appear that people, especially public servants would always remember those people who helped them to secure their positions; but the reality is that, this just isn’t always the case.

Back when I was a boy coming

We MUST Understand

By Roy Douglas Malonson, Chairman

up, the old folks repetitiously taught us to never forget the bridge that brought you over. Or in other words, never burn down a bridge you might have to cross again someday. Apparently, some of our fellow politicians slept through some of those valuable life-help courses taught by the elders of old.

Because many of them get these positions and it goes straight to their head. Notwithstanding that there is a thing in place referred to as, “terms”. In my own words, “term” means once you serve in the capacity of your office or position; you must run again in order to retain it. Over the years, I have been taking note and keeping a tally of just who all has been doing what they said they would do and what they are currently doing. I always tell people that we have to hold those in offices accountable for what the job that they were sworn to do.

All that being stated, I will conclude with words rendered by Bob Dylan. He said, “There’s no Black and White, left and right to me anymore; there’s only up and down and down is very close to the ground. And I’m trying to go up without thinking about anything trivial such as politics. That has got nothing to do with it. I’m thinking about the general people and when they get hurt.” So again I ask, “Why Must We Fight Those We Fought For?” Read More We MUST Understand online Today!

attended law school at Southern University and received his J.D. (Doctor of Jurisprudence). He then furthered his education and received a L.L.M. (Master of Law) from Tulane University, and is currently working on a Masters degree in Biology, and a PhD in Environmental and Molecular Toxicology at Texas Southern University. Dennis is also a 16-year veteran in the practice of the law, in the area of personal injury.

Stephanie Spurling, is an educator who is originally from New Orleans, Louisiana. She is a proud graduate from Southern University, as well as Louisiana State University. She has been in the education field professionally for 16 years, but has been volunteering in urban communities since she was 14 years old.

She has taught in different cities, states, and in different situations.

Through her experience, she has found that divorce and broken relationships quite frequently cause problems in all backgrounds.

THE SHOW According to Dennis, “70% of American children, are born out of wedlock”, which he explained Stephanie Spurling & Dennis Spurling that a typical marriage in today’s HOUSTON - Each year, many people society, isn’t the norm anymore. make a big change in their life by tying the Having kids outside of wedlock is now the knot.

Divorces are never easy, at hand. He expressed, “What we’re trying to and it is often hard when two people make do is to create some understanding between the decision to end what they thought was people of how you can get along and resolve going to last forever. However, depending the conflicts that exists, and get around the on the situation, not all divorces have to end conflicts, or manage the conflicts so that the nasty.

In addition to, two children, but to show the world how they both Dennis and Stephanie just want to show are doing it in their new reality T.V. show people a path forward in life, and for them called Co -Parenting With The Spurlings. to know that there is a path forward from BACKGROUND AND EDUCATION divorce, separation, and other issues. Also, Dennis Spurling is an attorney in they want to showcase how to eliminate Houston, who is originally from Los some of the conflict that may go along with Angeles, California. He is very educated, the exposed problems. and received a degree in biology from Furthermore, in regards to the people Grambling State University, with the inten- that will be watching the show, he expressed, tions of wanting to be a veterinarian; how“I think the viewers will laugh with us and ever, he quickly had a change of heart, and they will cry with us. It will be an experiTX- 4

ence for them, and they will empathize.”

Stephanie Spurling stated that, “Even though we are not in the same home, viewers are going to see collaborative decision making from my perspective, and as well from Dennis’ perspective.” They both work very hard to make decisions together in order to make sure that their kids are successful.

CHALLENGES Starring in a reality show can have its ups, but it can also have its challenges too.

One of the challenges that Dennis mentioned is the fact that he and Stephanie still have a history together. With that being said, there are plenty of times, where they have had to relive some of the emotions that they’ve already been through. When that occurs, there are some blow-ups that may arise on set. “This is our real life feeling, there is no acting, this is our real life,” he expressed. He made it known that sometimes they have had to take a day off from shooting in order to get along, or to get their minds back together.

In spite of heated moments at times, both of them still find a way to get back on track very well.

Stephanie noted at times, she might feel uncomfortable emotionally with what the show has put her through, and will put her through. She expressed, “I would be lying to you if I told you it was easy.” However, Stephanie believes that she has to put aside those feelings in order to help those who may be going through the same issues that she and Dennis are faced with on a day- to -day basis. She stated, “It goes well beyond me feeling uncomfortable at times, but what gives me comfort, is helping others.”

Stephanie has had many people reach out to her through social media seeking help in different areas, and she hopes that this show will provide them with the help they need.

HOUSTON Not only will viewers have the chance to witness real life drama, but they will also get the opportunity to hear some great music from different local artists that will be featured on the show. For example, Just Brittany is just one artist that viewers can expect to hear music from, and she will even be one of the many faces that people can expect to see on the show. With Houston being the 4th largest city in America, this show wants to be able to showcase the phenomenal local talent that this city has to offer, and the beautiful attributes that this city has to offer.

ADVICE There are many people in the world who are currently going through the same issues that Dennis and Stephanie are facing. In regards to advice for these people, Dennis

Texas •A ugust 812-18, - 14, 2016 Texas • August 2013

stated, “There can be no relationship unless you have mutual respect. If you don’t have mutual respect, then people will always step on other people’s toes.” He made it known that he and Stephanie were both friends before hand, and even though their marriage didn’t work out, they are back to being friends. Having that foundation, allows them to be able to set aside their emotions and differences in order to work together and do what needs to be done for the best interest of their children.

Stephanie’s advice to others is to communicate.

She also stated that people must “let go of the anger of the relationship, and focus on how to empower and build strong kids and a strong family structure beyond what was personally going on in the relationship.”

THE ISIAH FACTOR Both Dennis and Stephanie received the opportunity to appear on Fox 26 with Isiah Carey. Isiah Carey personally thanked them both for their contributions of giving back to their community. They both donated air conditioning units for the Fox 26 senior drive. Dennis and Stephanie expressed how it is important to help the elderly because it is important as citizens to help other people when they are in need. Furthermore, Stephanie was also able to voice her opinion on a controversial issue where a mother went live on Facebook while beating her 16-yearold daughter. As a mother of two, Stephanie expressed her thoughts on how the mother could have handled the situation differently.

In addition to, they were able to promote their show, and explained what viewers can expect.

CONCLUSION In conclusion, raising kids is not an easy job for any parent, especially when the parents are no longer together. It takes a lot of communication, patience, and mental strength to co-parent. Although Dennis and Stephanie are no longer together, they are two great individuals who are up for the task of raising their kids. They are both determined to do whatever it takes to make sure that their kids come first no matter what may arise. It is very crucial that the decisions they both make are in the best interest of their children. This show is very important to both Stephanie and Dennis, as they hope it will truly impact the lives of many. Make sure you stay tuned, as this new show will be appearing on the television screens really soon.

For more information about the show, you can find the trailer for the season one pilot on YouTube https://www.youtube. com/watch?v=ONpI7_MD_ds.

QUE SNAPS

HOUSTON Quaylon Ewing is the owner of Que Snaps, which is photography and video business that has had great success thus far. He was born and raised in Houston, Texas, and even though he is a photographer, he enjoys watching and playing sports, listening to music, and writing. He has a strong passion for anything that involves the arts.

Quaylon is also an educated man, and studied Criminal Justice at Boise State University.

Originally, growing up, he wanted to have a career in the law field, but quickly realized that law just wasn’t his passion. He expressed, “I’ve always had a passion for film, cameras, art, drawing pictures, and that’s what I do now.”

He loves film and photography because he feels as if it is a freedom of expression. “It is a way you can express yourself, and I believe that there is no other way people can express themselves unless they have an art to express themselves through,” stated Quaylon. He further made it known that his film and photography is his art, and through this art, he can show the world what he sees. When he takes a photo or creates a video, he believes that he is displaying his vision to the world, and he wants to not only inspire others, but to make a change in the world through his work.

When it comes to people viewing his work, he wants them to see a captured moment. “I want people to look at everything I do, and say wow that still has an impact on me today.”

He wants his work to always feel new, and for people to perceive his work days, weeks, months, or even years from now, and to always have a new feeling towards the photos or videos he captures. In regards to society, with his films, he wants to reveal different issues that people go through in everyday life. In addition to, he wants to use his own life experiences to help touch and impact other people’s lives. He stated, “I want to show kids that you’re not the only one going through what you are going through.”

One person that he admires and looks up to is Lance Gross, who is an actor, and a photographer. When it comes to film making, he admires the work of Quentin Tarantino. He loves the passion and creativity behind the movies that Tarantino makes. “I like the subjects that he isn’t

Business

scared to touch, I like where he takes his stories in detail… and the graphics,” expressed Quaylon.

Although he has done well with his business, there will always be obstacles and challenges that an entrepreneur must face. One obstacle that he currently faces daily is social media. In today’s society, people are constantly taking pictures and uploading videos on a dayto-day basis. Due to this, they may not see the need or value in taking professional photos anymore. Quaylon must find creative ways to get people interested, and to recognize the quality and the importance of using his professional services.

Furthermore, there are some goals that Quaylon has in mind for his business. One of his short-term goals is to make as many short films and documentaries as he can. In regards to long-term goals, he would love to have a movie premiered one day in the movie theaters. He knows that in order to reach his goals he must make a plan, and take baby steps. Quaylon plans on entering in as many film festivals as possible in order to make that first step in becoming closer to reaching his ultimate dream. He also believes that networking is important, and that he will always have to make investments in his business whether it is in buying equipment, or even investing in other people.

In addition to, there are many other people who aspire to be photographers or who have other dreams that they want to make come true as well. Quaylon’s advice to them is to “keep working towards it, and to not expect much of it from the beginning, but to have faith in what you do.” He further stated, “If you are doing it for the check, you are doing it for the wrong thing.”

He believes that you should never do your passion for the money because the money will come to you. Always do it for the love of your craft, and never solely just for money.

In conclusion, Quaylon knows that photography and film are very powerful, and can impact the world through their powerful messages. He is a photographer that is passionate about his work, and truly believes in producing quality work.

Understanding the Law: Property Tax Protest Krystin Collins Attorney at Law

Every year, homeowners are responsible for paying their property taxes as they come due. With the recent increase in new construction, many homeowners have seen a drastic increase in their property taxes. Property taxes are based on the appraised value of your home, every year an appraiser sets the value of your home and property taxes are determined based on that value.

If your home is designated as a homestead there is a ten percent cap on the annual increase of your home’s taxable appraised value. If you feel

that the appraised value of your home is incorrect, homeowners have recourse to challenge the amount of their property taxes.

This can be done in a few ways, the Harris County Appraisal District (HCAD) now allows homeowners to protest their property taxes online through iProtest and iSettle. If you do not have internet access, when you receive your notice in the mail you can contact your local appraisal district by phone or mail to obtain further instruction as to how to protest your property taxes.

Once the protest has been filed, many people are lost as to how to actually challenge the appraised value of your home.

Tips to protesting your property taxes: Request Appraisal RecordsAfter filing your protest, make

a request to HCAD for them to disclose the data they used when appraising your home.

Make sure the data is similar to your home (check the square footage of your home to make sure it is accurate, if any structures have been removed from your property make sure that the data used to appraise your home reflects such). MORE TIPS

AVAILABLE ONLINE @ aframnews.com

Consult with an attorney or tax professional if you need assistance or guidance when initiating the protest process.

Attorney Krystin Collins is a native of the Acres Homes Community.

She is a graduate of Texas Southern University Thurgood Marshall School of Law and has been a licensed attorney since 2009.

TEXAS • AUGUST 8 - 14, 2016 Story & Photo By: Chelsea Davis-Bibb, M.Ed.

Houston - Constable Alan Rosen and his Precinct One team packed out Sam Houston High School with people from all over the community in their attempt to bridge the gap between law enforcement and the youth. With everything that is currently going on in our nation, events such as these are very important. Many people are now afraid of police officers, and some may even have a negative perspective of them because of the events that have recently taken place; however, it is crucial that people in the community are aware of the officers that are serving and protecting the community they live in. This event was a great start to making a change in our community by promoting unity.

During this event, people were able to talk with police officers, visit booths from different sponsors, and enjoy free food, free school supplies, basketball and soccer games, and even some entertainment.

Z-Ro and Paul Wall made an appearance at this event, and they spent the day talking with people and officers in the community, and took lots of pictures and signed autographs. Paul Wall even hit the microphone when the DJ played his song, Swangin In The Rain, and gave everyone a show.

Constable Rosen was very excited about the event, and was even more ecstatic about how everything turned out.

He stated, “We started this, our annual basketball tournament where law enforcement officers and kids can interact with each other. It’s the single most important thing I do.” He further made it known that the only way to solve some of the issues that are occurring in our nation, is by communication. He expressed, “The only way we can solve some of the problems that we have in our community is by talking, and more importantly, respecting each other’s communities.”

When interviewing Paul Wall, he expressed that events

like these are very important because “its good for everyone to get to know each other, especially for us to get to know the officers.” In addition to, he stated, “It means a lot I think for our community, being that this is the community that I’m from… its really important for Alan Rosen because he’s showing that he cares about the community he serves and he wants to give back, and to meet the community. It’s a great event.”

Z-Ro also expressed some of his thoughts in regards to the event as well. He believed that this event is important so that people can know the officers just in case they may get pulled over. He stated, “I think its good to let everyone know and get familiar with faces and names so that if something happens when you get pulled over, it won’t happen like what we have been seeing in the news.”

This event may not solve all

of the issues that our community and nation is suffering from, but it is a start. Many kids not only had a great time at this event, but they received the opportunity to experience a positive encounter with different police officers.

During the entire event, the atmosphere was very upbeat.

If you did not get a chance to attend this event, feel free to mark it on your calendar for next year. Although this event is over, Precinct One is getting ready for their Teen Summit, which will take place on September 17th at Sam Houston High School. At this event, there will be leaders of law enforcement, judges, lawyers, and prosecutors, just to name a few, and the community can participate in a conversation about the issues that are going on in the world, and in our community.

TEXAS SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY Energy Director Learns about TSU’s Research Efforts

Dr. Bobby Wilson, (left) TSU’s Director of Research, LaDoris Harris, Economic Impact director – U.S. Department of Energy and Dr. John Sapp, TSU’s Chemistry department chair, take a moment to discuss the university’s research capabilities during a tour.

LaDoris Harris, Economic Impact director for the U.S. Department of Energy, was on campus July 21 to tour Texas Southern University’s three major research centers. Dr. Bobby Wilson, TSU’s director of research, guided Harris through the Environmental Research, Technology and Transfer Center; Center for Research on Complex Networks; and Center for Transportation Training and Research.

Harris spoke with several TSU student researchers and a group of middle school students participating in an on-campus summer camp. She also requested information on a patent – Instantaneous Electro Deposition of Metal Nanostructures on Carbon Nanotubes – by TSU professors Wilson, Xin Wei, Yuanjian Deng and Renard Thomas. Harris was updated on a pilot project between TSU and the University of Houston to improve minority engagement in innovation and entrepreneurship in the energy sector.

Harris’ visit included a meeting with TSU President Dr. Austin Lane, his executive staff Wendell Williams and Heidi Smith, and Dr. Erika Henderson, assistant provost of Faculty Recruitment, Retention, Equity, and Diversity at the University of Houston, to discuss the next steps of the energy partnership.

TSU Grad Heads to Ms. America Competition in California Lereca Monik, the reigning Ms. Texas 2016, will represent the Lone Star State in the Ms. America Pageant in Brea, California on September 3, 2016.

Ocean of Soul Alumnus Passes The Texas Southern University Ocean of Soul Alumni Chapter announces the passing of Edward Earl Thompson.

Mr. Thompson was a long-time chapter member, Ocean of Soul alumnus, Mr. TSU 1975, a member of the “Funk Train,” and former Ocean of Soul “Funk Train” Percussion director. Thompson’s generosity and influence will live forever with the Ocean of Soul.

“I feel so honored and blessed that I have been given the opportunity to represent the state of Texas in the [pageant],” Monik said. “My mission for the next year is to help others see their greatness.”

Monik, a Houston native who earned a Bachelor of Science in Human Services and Consumer Sciences and a master’s degree in Public Administration from Texas Southern University, is preparing for the fall pageant and making the most of her role as Ms. Texas.

“So far, this journey has been amazing and I am forever grateful for the connections, opportunities, and relationships that this experience will bring,” she said.

The Ms. America Pageant celebrates the accomplishments of women and encourages them to use their “crown for a purpose” by actively engaging in community service. The competition is open to women 26 and older who are single, divorced or married.

National America Miss

HOUSTON - “The question is not whether we can afford to invest in every child; it is whether we can afford not to.” Marian Wright Edelman illuminates this factor in her book entitled, The Measure of Our Success. It is a proven fact that the children of today are the future of tomorrow.

The sum of what the world will look like in decades and centuries to come, hinges on the amount of: time, energy, knowledge, education, information, wisdom and other fundamental values that we bestow and pass down to our children right now at this crucial point in history. Accordingly, AfricanAmerican News&Issues would like to recognize and highlight a young pupil from our community that is making positive strides.

Recently, Constance Desmore earned the 2016 National American Miss Texas title at a state local pageant. This accomplishment has enabled her, the opportunity to go to Disneyland in Anaheim, California to compete on a national level for the National American Queen title. Constance will be amongst a slew of candidates selected from various states throughout the nation.

The event will be held during Thanksgiving week and the winner will be awarded of $500,000 in cash and prizes.

Young Constance’s entrance into the world of

Education/Youth

glamour was incited by her mother, 28-year-old, Chasity Desmore who is attending African Hair Braiding Cosmetology School. Last year while in class, Chasity’s instructor announced that they would be having a hair show. With motherly instincts in tow, Chasity immediately recognized an opportunity to display her beautiful and intelligent daughter. Though she had no previous knowledge or experience in reference to promoting her daughter in such a fashion, she simply took her daughter and went for what she knew. During an interview Chasity said, “I just put her on a pretty dress, twisted her hair and with her funky personality she dominated the stage.” Indeed her daughter had never been displayed on a platform before, but Chasity could clearly see that Constance knew how to work a crowd and was prompted even the more by an engaging audience. Consequently, she was chosen as the Nubian Queen of 2015.

From this experience, her mother realized that in addition to her daughter’s outstanding scholastic achievements that she also possessed another raw natural talent. Persistent to awaken and nurture her daughter’s God-given gift, Chasity began promoting her daughter’s talents on Facebook and other social

media outlets. Not long afterwards, Constance received an invitation from National American Miss. Although it was unexpected, Chasity immediately encouraged Constance to subscribe.

Constance went in for an interview and performed a photo shoot. Following, she was sent another packet in the mail, indicating that she had been selected. Enclosed were all of the necessary requirements and procedures that she would have to fulfill in order to advance.

Therefore, Constance mother, grandmothers, family members and friends began selling plates and accepting donations to prepare for the event. Her daycare, apartment complex and various social media friends also contributed to her endeavor. Ultimately, Constance advanced and was crowned National American Miss Texas out of a total of 89 competitors. During the National American Miss pageant, Constance was judged on formal wear, personal introduction, an interview and her community involvement. Since that time, she and her mother have been traveling to other states to gain more insight in regards to different pageants.

With an amazing mother like Chasity, it is no wonder that a talented Constance is soaring through the spotlight.

Her mother admonishes each parent to, “never stop encouraging your children.”

“The more you encourage

them, the more they will recognize what you do for them so don’t stop,” she said.

Constance is a very outgoing and sweet-spirited young lady. Her mother is often complimented on the amazing manners and personality that she has.

Constance eagerly is anticipating her upcoming school year as a 2nd grade student at Durkee Elementary School. In past, she has competed in the UIL and is an Honor Roll student. When asked of her ambitions, she exclaimed that she wants to be, “a teacher and a Pretty Princess!” Her inspirations are her mother, both of her grandmothers (maternal and paternal), her Stepfather (Deandre Brooks) and her younger sisters, Collins and Cortland Brooks. She enjoys playing Mario Brothers and other video and arcade games on her WII, riding go carts, performing cheerleading stunts, going to Chuck E. Cheese, swimming, riding her bike, and competing in Spelling Bee competitions.

Constance loves attending Sunday School and Children’s Church. She is a member of the Triumphant Church under the leadership of Pastor Timothy B. Dixon.

Constance is grateful for her father Corey, extended family and friends who have been diligent in supporting her endeavors.

She made recognition of her sponsors which include: Connie Ababio, Theresa

Stafford MSD “First District in Texas to Offer Free Outdoor Senior Portraits” STAFFORD - The Stafford Municipal School District is unique in that it’s the only Municipal School District in the State of Texas.

Stafford MSD is about to embark on another first. We are about to be the first school district in Texas to offer Outdoor Senior Portraits to all graduating seniors, who sign up for it, free of charge!

“Stafford MSD is a district that offers excellent academics, dual credit college courses and a definite path to College and Career Readiness,” SMSD Superintendent Dr. Robert Bostic said. “The free Outdoor Senior Portraits are just one more example of the family-atmosphere that Stafford MSD provides to its students.”

The Stafford MSD Communications Office will coordinate the Outdoor Senior Portraits. Students will receive an unlimited amount of photos, but they must provide their own Flash Drive.

Students may sign up for the Outdoor Portraits on Campus. If the students choose to have their portraits off-campus, they MUST be accompanied by a PARENT OR GUARDIAN and the scheduled photo portrait must not be more than 15 miles from the SMSD Campus.

Students must sign up for their Free Outdoor Senior Portraits at least TWO WEEKS before the day that they would like the portraits to take place.

In addition to this offer, Stafford MSD will also offer free portraits to Employees and Staff who are celebrating an engagement, pre-wedding photos or a similar life-milestone event.

Contact the SMSD Communications Office at 281-261-9219 or msudhalter@staffordmsd.org if you are interested.
