Regent Collins Honored Regent Catherine Collins was honored as a community leader by the Xi Epsilon Omega Chapter of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. during its Annual Lucky Number Luncheon last Sunday at the Millennium Hotel. Dr. Collins is a respected author of over thirteen published books.

In 2011 she launched the Women’s Health Radio show that airs on WWWS 1400 AM every other Saturday with a focus on women’s health issues and wellness. She is the recipient of over 50 awards and honors.

Leads Safe Rehab Workshop Preservation Buffalo Niagara will host a Lead Safe Rehab workshop on Thursday, Nov. 8 at the Market Arcade, 617 Main St from 6-8 p.m. If your historic house was built before 1978, there’s a good chance you’ve got some lead paint. Homeowners will be provided tips on how to minimize exposure to lead when rehabbing, repairing, or painting your home.

t was clear from day one that the bust unveiled in MLK Park in tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King 35 years ago was not intended to be a likeness of the iconic civil rights leader.

And although not everyone was initially pleased with the 8 foot tall meditative head, there was a quiet acceptance of the artist’s rendering and his idea of the sculpture to represent the universality of “every Black man’s” struggle - until last January on Martin Luther king Day. That’s when activist Samuel A. Herbert launched a petition drive to replace the sculpture with a more accurate portrayal of Dr. King. His goal is to get 10,000 signatures in support of the move. He recently announced that he had over 6,000, and now some of those involved with the making the sculpture possible, are publicly pushing back.

On Wednesday, October 31at 7 p.m.Hon. George K. Arthur and Hon. Clifford D. Bell will be the guests of We Are Women Warriors on A Radio Revolution, on WUFO Radio, 96.5 FM. They will be discussing the history behind the statue or bust that is in MLK Park. The call in number to the live broadcast is 716-837-1112. Viewers are welcome to join the conversation.

Clifford Bell, who led the Martin Luther King Jr. celebration Committee at the time plans for the tribute were being made said in the Oct. 29th Buffalo News article that he could understand people wanting a more traditional statue that would mirror Dr. King, and that if Mr. Herbert and others wanted to replace the bust with a new statue he would be happy to help as long as they would be in favor of finding a different location. He said he is not in favor of the destruction or melting down of the current sculpture by renowned African-American artist John Woodrow Wilson, in order to erect a new one, as the petition calls for.

Mr. Arthur, who is also seeking common ground and a way to satisfy both sides, pointed out that Dr. king was about unity, not division.

The issue has also made national news. The Root, The Architects Newspaper , a Syracuse on line news source and the Daily News have also picked up on the story.

The Daily News article reported that Lee Speight, a North Carolina-based sculptor who spotted Herbert’s petition online, said he’s willing to offer a life-size, 5-foot-7 model of King he made out of terracotta to stand in the Buffalo park.

However Herbert has said he wanted the work done by sculpture, Lei Yixin, who did the work in Washington, D.C., on the National Monument. In the meantime, he is focused on getting his last couple of thousand signatures.

"Celebration of Service" is Theme of Urban League's Annual Gala: 2018 Awardees Announced

O

n November 10th we will once again party with a purpose at the Buffalo Urban League’s annual gala.

Our gala has gained a well-earned reputation for its pageantry and elegance; but, at its core, this premier black-tie event is about empowering our community. Every dollar goes toward our collective effort in ensuring that the underserved are recognized and tended to. And when we say “our” we mean Buffalo Urban League and our willing and committed partners.

This year’s theme is “Celebration of Service.” It’s fitting, as it will take place on Veteran’s Day weekend in honor of the men and women that have risked their lives for our safety. But it is also a celebration of our neighbors that exhibit the selflessness that is hallmark of every strong community.

“As Buffalo grows, we want to strive to stay small enough to touch each other’s lives, to see our service at work,” said Buffalo Urban League President and CEO Brenda W. McDuffie. “Our veterans are a shining example of selflessness and our community leaders and honorees match that with an overwhelming spirit of generosity.”

This year, the League will honor outstanding veterans and members of the community including: •Eva Doyle, who will receive the William L. Evans & Whitney M. Young Award •Mr. and Mrs. Joseph DiLeo Family & Per Ninete Club accepting the Family Life Award Continued Page 5

Thomas Mundy Peterson

Thomas Mundy Peterson: The First Black Man to Vote in America Thomas Mundy Paterson was born in Metuchen, New Jersey on October 6, 1824. His father, also named Thomas, worked for the Mundy family.

He was a slave and his mother, Lucy Green, was a slave of Hugh Newell (1744–1816) of Freehold Township, New Jersey. Thomas was manumitted (the act of an owner freeing his or her slaves) at age 21 by Newell's will.

He was a school principal between 1870 and 1878 and a general handyman in Perth Amboy, New Jersey. Active in the Republican Party, and the Prohibition Party, he became the city's first African-American to hold elected office, on the Middlesex County Commission. He was also the city's first "colored" person to serve on a jury.

Peterson voted in a local election held at Perth Amboy City Hall over the town's charter. Some citizens wanted to revise the existing charter while others wished to abandon the charter altogether in favor of a township form of government.

Historians have found quotes from Peterson in news reports of the time. "I was working for Mr. T. L. Kearny on the morning of the day of election, and did not think of voting until he came out to the stable where I was attending the horses and advised me to go to the polls and exercise a citizen's privilege," Peterson Continued Page 9

“How many people can be buried in a cemetery lot?”

If you have any questions about cremation or burial, give us a call at (716) 885-1600.

Most cemeteries allow 1 or 2 burials in a single grave. At Forest Lawn, we recently changed our rules & regulations to allow up to 4 burials in a single grave, w hich can include 1 casket plus 3 urns or a total of 4 urns.

For example, if a couple chooses side-by-side casketed burial in 2 graves, there’s room for them and up 6 other members of their family. This can represent a significant cost savings for the family. But more importantly, it can make it possible for you and your dearest loved ones to remain together forever.

Pioneering Poet and Playwright Ntozake Shange Dies at 70 October 27, 2018 BlackPress USA:

By Lauren Victoria Burke, NNPA Newswire Contributor Pioneering poet and playwright Ntozake Shange died on the morning of October 27 at an assisted living facility in Bowie, Maryland. She was best known for her much celebrated Obie Aw a r d - w i n n i n g play, “For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide/ When the Rainbow is Enuf.”

“To our extended family and friends, it is with sorrow that we inform you that our loved one, Ntozake Shange, passed away peacefully in her sleep in the early morning of October 27, 2018. Memorial information / details will follow at a later date,” her Twitter account announced.

Shange, who turned 70 on October 18, had suffered multiple strokes over the last few years. She died in her sleep.

“I write for young girls of color, for girls who don’t even exist yet, so that there is something there for them when they arrive,” Shange once said. “Zake was a woman of extravagance and flourish, and she left quickly without suffering,” said her sister Ifa Bayeza, who was also a writer. “It’s a huge loss for the world. I don’t think there’s a day on the planet when there’s not a young woman who discovers herself through the words of my sister,” she added.

Her death is “a major shift in the cosmos,” said Sarah Bellamy said on October 27. “Ntozake Shange invited us to marvel at the resiliency and power that women of color harness in order to survive a hostile world. She invited us to practice the ritual of loving ourselves.”

Letitia "Tish" James Democrat and Keith H. Wofford, Republican

No Matter Who Wins The Race, New York Will Have Its First Black Attorney General

By NANETTE D. MASSEY

KEITH WOFFORD

C

an being Black, from Buffalo, and a Republican Trump supporter be a winning strategy in a race for political office in 2018?

Keith Wofford, the Republican candidate for N.Y. State Attorney General sure hopes so.

Republicanism as a philosophy, at our nation’s birth, based itself on the idea of personal liberty as hallowed ground, owing to specific rights naturally endowed to individuals that could not be altered by laws.

Republicans were responsible for much of the Reconstruction legislation after the Civil War, and the Black populace was solidly Republican for generations. Today, many Blacks associate the GOP with the divide-and-conquer “Southern Strategy,” President Reagan’s heavy reliance on the term “welfare queen,” and trickle down economic theories that many communities are still waiting to feel the moisture of.

Into this hippodrome steps Keith Wofford, who lived all his Buffalo life on Winslow Street near the Kehr Street fire station. The zip code’s per capita income is less than $15K today. He was hardly a product of destiny’s inner circle. His mom accompanied him to the downtown library and stayed on him about his studies. To her, education wasn’t just about getting a job. It was about “having the freedom of self control and self determination," he explained. " With your mind you can advance yourself and that can never be taken away from you no matter what happens with your external circumstances.”

The Republican mantra is so often about being self-made with limited external help. Wofford isn’t shy about acknowledging outside influences that have contributed to his success. He credits the Gifted Math Program at SUNY Buffalo, the encouragement of Frank Mesiah through the NAACP’s Afro-Academic, Cultural, Technological and Scientific Olympics (ACT-SO) and the 1976 court case Arthur v. Nyquist which ushered desegregation into Buffalo and created magnet schools such as his alma mater, City Honors.

“My parents were fabulous," he contiued, "but they were working class regular folks. You really didn’t know what was going on with the entrance processes to elite colleges, the high end of the white collar job market, all that information came in through people who reached out to me and helped me.”

Wofford left City Honors at the end of his junior year with an acceptance letter to Harvard University in tow. He took the SAT exam early, and they reached out to him at a time when they were famously taking baby steps to diversify their racial and socio-economic make up. He went further with Harvard Law School. Today Wofford is a partner at a Manhattan “white shoe” law firm. (What is “white shoe”? Let’s just say if Wofford’s firm were a rap artist, they’d party with Kendrick Lamar, Wu-Tang, and Jay Z.) Wofford, 49, is your classic trim the spending Republican, which is usually dog whistle for gutting spending to services to low and moderate income families. Wofford says his office would not be interested in initiatives that would shave school budgets or come for your food stamps. He believes there is enough waste and corruption to be reigned in that we can “get to point A from point B without beating up on working class people who are just trying to get to the end of their week….There’s a bigger con game going on at all our expense.” The state has a spending budget currently of $170 billion. The biggest spending growth is in the area of Medicaid. That unbridled growth lends itself to fraud and abuse and that’s what he’d be going after. Not to mention the rigged Buffalo Billions contracts, bribes valued at $300K funneled to the likes of Cuomo aid Joe Percoco, and the NY City subway extension whose cost clocked in at nearly $2 billion per mile.

Wofford believes the main problem with this position in the past has been it’s enticement as a stepping stone along the path to bigger political aspirations, giving us people who aren’t necessarily focused on just doing their best job for the citizens of New York. Over 20 years successfully into his career as a lawyer, Wofford will be doing fine, thank you very much, no matter the outcome of this election or the bruised egos of higher ups in the party expecting his deference should he win.

“I saw this as a once in a generation opportunity to get someone in that office… who just wanted to do a great job for the people.”

He’s won the endorsement of Buffalo News’ editorial board who believe his claim that his focus will be NY State.

He hopes Buffalo’s East Side Black population will give him a chance too.

LETITIA “TISH” JAMES

s the Democratic Party’s nominee for State Attorney General, Brooklyn’s Letitia “Tish” James has the historic distinction of becoming the first Black woman nominated to a statewide position by one of the major political parties.

Her tie to Buffalo lies in the fact that she worked in the state legislature for ten years and was council to the Committee on Corporations, Authorities and Commissions and council to The Black and Puerto Rican Legislative Caucus. As such, she had occasion to work with New York State Assemblyman Arthur O. Eve, famous Buffalo political icon and one of the founding members of this paper. She recalled working on legislation regarding The Peace Bridge, and Roswell Park hospital.

James, 60, followed her life’s aspirations to Howard Law School. She said she always wanted to be a lawyer, inspired as a youngster by the likes of Justice Thurgood Marshall, congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton, and the fiery speech of Texas Senator Barbara Jordan as she appealed to the House Judiciary Committee on behalf of impeaching President Nixon in 1974.

She went to work for the Legal Aid Society. “Defense work was my calling because you had to think on your feet," she stated."It was an opportunity to stand up for individuals who were wrongly accused. Unfortunately, our criminal justice system criminalizes too many people of color.”

Letitia James has been the public advocate of New York City since 2014 and is the first woman of color to hold the office. Before becoming public advocate, she was a city council member, an assistant attorney general and a public defender. As public advocate, James has consistently fought for tenants’ rights, and last year she introduced legislation that bans questions about salary history in the city.

As the Attorney General, James would be serving as essentially as “the people’s lawyer, representing the interests of meting out justice.” Her office will have a role in defending the state’s citizens in such actions as the famous case taken up against Trump University. She also has overturning the 2010 Citizens United Supreme Court decision regarding campaign contributions by corporate donors in her sites, along with protecting the state against fraudulent Medicaid spending, and extending the power of her office to become involved in determining whether or not a crime was committed in officer involved shootings. She also has vowed to focus on several other issues, including the affordable housing crisis and lead poisoning in parts of the state., protecting our environment, tackling Wall Street abuses and protecting immigrants and women's rights.

Although James’ candidacy is backed by Governor Cuomo, she wishes to make it clear that she too is an independent, wanting to distance herself from any hint of cronyism or obligation to Cuomo’s scandal laden administration.

Her complete platform can be found on TishJames2018.com. There is also a local office here in Buffalo at 1327 Jefferson Avenue, open most days from one in the afternoon, where anyone can pick up James lawn signs.

James and Wofford Face Off in Only Live Debate Before Election

Democrat Letitia James and Republican Keith Wofford, the leading candidates for one of the top legal positions in the country, faced off on Spectrum News on Tuesday night in their only live televised debate before Election Day. New York's attorney general is seen as one of the top legal positions in the country, especially given the office's numerous legal challenges to the Trump Foundation and administration. But in the wake of former attorney general Eric Schneiderman abruptly resigning in May after multiple women accused him of physical assault, a political vacuum has opened up for the powerful position.

James and Wofford debated if the attorney general's office should continue lawsuits against the Trump administration. James said she supports the litigation that the current attorney general, Barbara Underwood, has filed, while Wofford wouldn't commit to continuing all of them. He said, instead, that he didn't want New York taxpayers funding politically-motivated litigation.

Both candidates said they would crack down on Albany corruption, but James said she wants more legal authority from the legislature to do so. Wofford, meanwhile, chided her, saying the attorney general's office already has legal tools if state officials are embroiled in corruption.

Wofford also hit James for her close relationship to Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who she has campaigned with, and the state legislature, saying she would not be a reliable check on them; James argued she would fight against corruption no matter where it comes from.

James, meanwhile, argued that Wofford would have conflicts of interest if he is elected, saying that his prior experience in private litigation would not make him beholden to corporations. Wofford denied that he would be beholden to former clients.

Recent polls found that the race is closer than expected, with an early-October Siena College poll showing James leading Wofford by 14 percentage points, 50 percent to 36 percent. -Spectrum News

Erie County Adopts Policy Changes on Juvenile Justice Restraints, Starts Implementing “Raise the Age”

T

By Legislator April N.M. Baskin

he shackling or use of restraints on children in juvenile court proceedings is increasingly problematic as it requires children endure high levels of mental and emotional stress and can cause lasting damage to their mental health.

Both the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges and the American Bar Association have requested that states and other levels of government involved in the juvenile justice system review their policy of shackling or using restraints on children in juvenile court hearings.

In 2014, at the request of the state chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, the Ohio State Supreme Court reviewed this policy after a lawsuit was filed against a county which handcuffed the wrists and shackled the legs of a 14 year old girl with no prior record of offense.

Since that time, several states have re-examined their policies on the shackling of minors and have adopted new, improved policies which requires on the record testimony justifying shackles before they can be used on youthful offenders in proceedings. Colorado, Florida, Massachusetts, South Carolina, and Washington have re-examined their youth court policies and made significant progress in reinstating best practices for rehabilitative justice in their systems.

In Boulder County, Colorado a joint task force which included representation from the courts, public defender’s office, the district attorney, and the county commissioners was formed to continue oversight on the youth justice system.

In New York, Democratic State Senator Tim Kennedy and Republican State Senator John Bonacic introduced legislation to eliminate the shackling of children under the age of 21 unless it is the least restrictive means possible to prevent self-harm, harm to someone else, or disruptive behavior in the court.

A similar bill was introduced in the State Assembly by Assemblyman David Gantt.

In addition, resolutions adopted at the county level nationwide have had positive impacts on their respective juvenile court systems.

Locally, in February 2018, a third grader in the Buffalo Public School system appeared in Erie County Family Court with his legs shackled under thenexisting County security protocols. Shortly thereafter, concerns were raised about the county’s policy on restraining youthful offenders. In June 2018, the Buffalo Board of Education adopted a resolution discouraging the use of leg-cuff within the county’s family court system.

Upon learning about the concerns and issue, I became involved and held discussions with the Buffalo Public Schools and the county’s Department of Social Services and its Youth Services Division which oversees the county’s Secure Youth Detention Facility which certain juvenile offenders are housed. Following our discussions and meeting, and a review of their protocols, the county decided to revise their policy on using leg cuffs.

Earlier this summer, I shared my concerns with Sandra Tan from the Buffalo News, detailing my belief that we use this system to rehabilitate and not further discriminate or punish struggling children by further humiliation when they should come to expect fairness and justice under the law.

We know from a long-term study on adverse childhood events (ACE’s) conducted by the CDC that child offenders are often victims of abuse themselves. Children who are abused have an almost 60% chance of being arrested as juveniles – the likelihood of them harboring violent tendencies increases by 30% if they are previous victims of trauma. As a mother and a former educator, it is my strong belief that we should not continue to criminalize our youth; these children need mental and emotional intervention that prisons cannot provide. Leg shackling prolongs and creates additional unnecessary trauma that only adds time to their recovery.

I would like to thank Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz and Social Services Commissioner Marie Cannon for listening and for their leadership on this issue, including their willingness to examine long-standing county policy and change the policy.

In my legislative resolution from August 2018, I offered support to Senators Kennedy, Bonacic, and Assemblyman Gantt’s state legislation concerning restraints on youthful offenders appearing before family courts. For more information, you can view my complete resolution on the Erie County Legislature home page, entitled “Opposing the Use of Restraint Devices on Non-Violent Children in Family Court”. There is more work that can be done across the state on the issue of youth restraints family courts, but this is a good start.

As chair of the Legislature’s Public Safety Committee, I am committed to justice, fairness and equality for all of the members of our community.

With support from New York State, Erie County is also implementing the “Raise The Age” initiative concerning 16 and 17 year old offenders. Under this state initiative, offenders aged 16 and 17 will no longer be detained and processed through the adult criminal justice system, and will instead, proceed through the family court system.

Particularly violent offenses can still be tried in adult courts, but for the majority of misdemeanor crimes, teens will appear in family court which is more equipped to deal with youthful Continued Page 12

Whos' Talking About Issues?

By Rev. William Gillison

I

Pastor, Mt. Olive Baptist Church

f we are going to be effective in improving the quality of life in our State and Local communities we must work smarter, and focus on the issues that affect our communities and our quality of life.

During the primary race for governor, every day I received literature from the Governor or his opponent. When I started reading the advertisement I noticed something, in order to convince me to vote for them I was being told that they needed my vote so they could stop “TRUMP”. They said nothing about issues that affect us. “TRUMP” did not create the conditions we have to put up with and suffer through on a daily basis, he has only been in office for two years. The intent of the ads, were to appeal to my hatred or dislike, if I had any, for the President of the United States. This is an old trick that we keep falling for, over and over again.

This gets our mind off of the local issues that affect us, issues that they have done nothing about even though they are the ones in office, some for many years.

We need to start demanding from those who are in office or seeking an office to deal with the issues that affect the people who elected them. If we ask for nothing, don’t be surprised if you get nothing, after all they have already figured that they are going to get our vote anyway. When persons come before us in our Town Hall Meetings, Community Events, Conventions, Associations and Churches, let’s start asking them a very simple question, how will our communities benefit if we vote for them or the person they are representing. Let’s get smart and listen to more than one side of a political story. A politician once told Rev. William Gillison me that all politics are local, with that in mind let’s compel them to talk about the issues that affect us on a local and state level. I am not saying not to be concerned about the national level, we should be, but that vote does not take place until 2020.

Let’s start asking why: Why my child, who just graduated from high school, cannot read or write well enough to fill out a job application, or pass a tenth grade math test.

Why does the State want to legalize marijuana, to devastate even more of our families and communities? Marijuana is a gateway drug, it affects the mind. What employer wants to hire someone high on drugs, even if it’s legal? This is not a law yet, so get in touch with your Senators and Assembly representatives, and let them know you don’t want this. By the way, why is the local corner store in our community allowed to openly sell drug paraphernalia?

Why is no one talking about gentrification, the process of renovating deteriorated urban neighborhoods by means of the influx of more affluent residents?

Why across this State is there a disproportionate number of minorities on our State, Sheriff and local Police Departments.

Why is no one asking why there are not more appointments by the Governor of minority Judges, to the State Supreme or Appellate Court when there is an opportunity? Why is the party that most of us belong to not nominating minority Judges to the Appellate Court justice system? At the trial level in the 8th Judicial District, only 1 out of 30 Judges is minority.

Where are the minority workers on the bridges and highway including the thruway?

This list could get much longer, but I pray we get the idea. The Idea is, let us get smarter in the areas where our people are affected by political decisions, which are made by others, who apparently are not really concerned about us, or the communities in which we live. If we are going to be effective, we must stick to issues and demand solutions!

The Best Self, In Love

A Tribute to Ora Lee Lewis-Delgado (4/27/30 - 10/29/18)

Born in Port Huron, Michigan, mother of seven children (two now deceased). The wife of Anthony Delgado, now deceased.

T

he Life of Ms. Delgado will be celebrated in Janazah Funeral Service on Thursday, November 1st at 2 p.m. at the McCoy Convention Center, 653 Clinton St. When the Best-Self makes its best effort, the person excels and their community benefits. The Best-Self becomes the best, by the nurturing, teaching, and sharing of others - family, friends, and elders. So it was with Ms. Lewis-Delgado. She was about the quality of Life and the capacity of Black people to function with Higher Order Thinking – excelling in Life, character and Spirit. She was about the values of Life that are eternal, affirming her faith as a Muslim.

Nurtured on the Tap Root of African American Heritage, she became a nurturer of the community’s children and young adults.

Her professional work at Langston Hughes Center, ranged from administrator, community activist and African American arts advocate. Taking to heart her fore-parents knowledge and wisdom, Ms. Delgado became a nurturer, of her family of seven children, beautiful, smart and sons and daughters engaged in culture, as well as the children of the community suffering the serious disadvantages associated with the historical oppression of Black people within a white supremacy culture. She was a woman warrior.

Her work created value for the Black community and the community at large. It was an impactful contribution. Ms. Delgado was dynamic and distinguished always seeking to put her “best foot forward” and likewise encouraging youth to aim high. She demonstrated the power of love, creativity and compassion that moves lives and energizes life in the Black community. A charitable enterprise, the programming of the Langston Hughes Center put children first, as a focus of its Mission to “motivate the community’s children.

For more than 30 years, Ms. Delgado made a disciplined, diligent practice of serving the local community, first, as an office manager to A.P.S. Creative Arts Inc., the founding organization of programs funded as the Langston Hughes Center (1968) until retiring from her role as the Executive Director and President of the Langston Hughes Institute of Buffalo, New York.

Beginning on Jefferson Avenue and later moving to High Street (1971), the Langston Hughes Center for the Visual and Performing Arts was at the center of Buffalo’s Black Arts movement. Under Ms. Delgado’s leadership, with the support of an activist board, of Black professionals of diverse backgrounds; and a staff of skilled and committed artists, The Langston Hughes Institute established exemplary activities, culturally and artistically, at the leading edge of the local arts community.

With the partnership of Anthony Delgado, who she married, the Langston Hughes Institute became an incubator and mothership for launching other community arts organizations, enterprises and initiatives. The Buffalo Inner City Ballet, Sun Ship Communications, Life-Line Human Services; Lead Paint Removal Certification training, and Henry Muhammad’s School of Music are among the notable entities that found a home at the Langston Hughes Institute.

This is proof that collective dialogue, like that which has taken place between the Buffalo Public Schools and the Erie County Department of Social Services, can help right injustices and start to heal the deep wounds sometimes left by our criminal justice system. I am elated that we in government could work together in this endeavor, with the support of the New York State, to ensure our detained juveniles are managed appropriately and afforded the due process they deserve.
