NEWS briefly EDUCATION

CPS TO HOST BACK-TO-SCHOOL BASHES THROUGHOUT THE CITY TO CELEBRATE THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR Chicago Public Schools recently announced that the district will be hosting Back-to-School Bashes across the city this month for students, families and community members to come together to celebrate and prepare for a productive start to the school year. The events will allow all CPS students to receive school supplies, meet new classmates and reconnect with their school community for the year ahead.

“Back-to-School Bashes are an opportunity for families to reengage with their schools and ensure their children have the helpful resources and supplies needed to hit the ground running on day one of the school year,” said CPS CEO Dr. Janice K. Jackson. “I know our families are motivated to kick off a new, successful school year, and we look forward to bringing them together in the coming weeks to celebrate the remarkable progress their schools have made.”

For more information on the events and details on other resources to help families prepare for a successful year ahead, families can visit the Back-to-School website at www.cps.edu/b2s.

HEALTH

LAW PASSED TO PROTECT VETERANS AT STATE HOMES FROM EPIDEMICS A new Illinois state law sponsored by State Senator Tom Cullerton (D-Villa Park) will protect veterans at state homes from epidemics like the deadly Legionnaires’ disease outbreak at the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy.

Cullerton’s legislation, which was signed into law recently requires Illinois veterans homes to notify facility residents and their emergency contacts within 24 hours if two or more residents in the home have been diagnosed with an infectious disease in a period of one month or less.

“This new law will put the health of our veterans ahead of government bureaucracy,” Cullerton said. “When your loved one is in harm’s way, you have a right to know. Now that right is the law.”

House Bill 4278 was supported by the Better Government Association, the Veterans of Foreign Wars and Illinois AMVETS. It goes into effect immediately.

LAW & POLITICS

SENATOR DURBIN ENDORSES DEMOCRAT LAUREN UNDERWOOD FOR THE U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES IN ILLINOIS’S 14TH U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) offered his formal endorsement of Lauren Underwood, a Democrat running for the U.S. House of Representatives in Illinois’s 14th District, during a July 28 event in Oswego, IL alongside members of the Kendall County Democrats.

“Healthcare is the driving issue in this election, and we couldn’t have a better candidate,” Durbin said of Underwood, a registered nurse and health policy expert from Naperville, IL. “The incumbent congressman has voted in lockstep with the Republicans in Congress in favor of a health care system that would deny coverage to people with pre-existing conditions and dramatically increase the cost of health insurance for people over 50.”

“As a nurse I know how critical it is for people to have access to medications and procedures when they need them, particularly if they have a chronic illness. I have a pre-existing condition myself, so this is deeply personal to me. I understand the plight of so many northern Illinois families who are struggling to afford their care,” said Underwood whose team marked 100 days to Election Day July 29 with an open house celebration at her new office in St. Charles with more than 100 local supporters.

Local Family-Owned Barbecue Joint Honors The Memory of Their Father Continued from page 1

BY KATHERINE NEWMAN

Lem’s Bar-B-Q, located on 311 E. 75th St., was originally owned and operated by James B Lemons and since his passing in 2015, his daughter, Carmen Lemons, has kept his legacy alive.

The Chatham barbecue house is planning to honor what would have been Mr. Lemons 90th birthday on Aug. 13 by offering a Mini JBL Special, the menu item that was created to commemorate Mr. Lemons.

The original Lem’s Bar-B-Q was opened on S. State St. in 1954 by two brothers, Bruce and Myles Lemons. For 14 years the brothers served smokey barbecue with their secret recipe sauce and had so much success that they invited their other brother, James Lemons, to open the second location in Chatham which he did in 1968.

Although the original location has since closed, the Chatham location is looking forward to celebrating the businesses 65-

year anniversary next summer.

The south side barbecue house has made a name for itself with it’s smoked meats, made-from-scratch hot links, a secret blend of spices, the extra secret special sauce, and their family atmosphere that Carmen Lemon’s said is very important for her to maintain.

“We don’t call it just Lem’s Bar-B-Q, it’s Lem’s Bar-B-Q House because it’s a house where you have people that meet here and maybe they haven’t seen each other in a while and it’s even a house for the employees too because we treat each other like family. We are all family here and we try to keep that family environment and stay familiar with our customers,” said Lemons.

“Sometimes, the customers don’t even have to tell us their order, we already know their order because they come in here on such a regular basis.”

From her father, Lemons learned how to run a business with character and integrity which she said was very important to him.

www.thechicagocitizen.com

“One thing I learned from my father is to pay bills and to pay them on time and to build a rapport with the people that you’re dealing with that are your vendors. People have to know that you’re honorable and that you have character and integrity,” said Lemons.

After her father’s death, Lemons wanted to commemorate his legacy by creating a barbecue sampler plate and named it the JBL Special, after her father. The JBL Special allows customers to sample the rib bones, rib tips, wings, and hot links with a side of fries.

“I wanted to commemorate my dad in this business in some kind of way,” said Lemons. “I knew that my dad would want people to sample some of everything and that’s why we made it a JBL Special where they get a little of everything.”

Lem’s Bar-B-Q will be honoring what would have been the 90th birthday of James B Lemons on Aug 13 by offering a mini JBL special all day.

NEWS Rep. Rita Announces Legislative Hearings on Illinois Gaming Expansion

State Rep. Bob Rita

State Rep. Bob Rita will bring together two House committees for legislative hearings aimed at bringing gaming expansion and broad economic opportunity to Illinois.

Rita, D-Blue Island, has been the House Democrats’ point person on gaming issues since spring 2013.

He has proposed several bills on gaming expansion, including a large amendment to Senate Bill 7 that combined new casinos, race tracks

slot machines and other concepts at the end of the spring legislative session. But the bill did not muster enough support before the session ended May 31.

Rita will now lead two House subcommittees – on Gaming and on Sales and Other Taxes – to have hearings on the measure he presented at the end of the session and other gaming expansion issues such as internet gaming, fantasy

sports and sports betting, in hopes of using building a consensus proposal that could be considered in Springfield after the November election. The committees will meet on Wednesday, Aug. 22, at the Bilandic Building in Chicago and on Wednesday, Oct. 3, at the Capitol in Springfield.

“As I have said from the beginning in working on this issue, gaming expansion presents many

tremendous opportunities to create revenue, jobs and economic growth in Illinois,” Rita said. “The gaming landscape has changed significantly since I took on this issue five years ago, and I want to use these hearings to understand how those changes present new opportunities for us to put the right package together as we look to meet budget needs and provide a spark for our economy.”

Chicago’s Hispanic and African American Communities Struggle to Maintain Strong Socio-Political Alliances

BY JOHANNA MEDRANO

The African-American and Latino communities make up a large part of the overall minority population in Chicago. In fact, in the city, they comprise 60% of the population according to the latest figures from the United States Census Bureau.

Interestingly enough, Chicago continues to be plagued by tensions between the two largest minority groups.

In 1983, however, it was the Hispanic and African-American communities that helped elect Harold Washington, Chicago’s first black mayor.

Washington won over 75% of the Latino vote, with the help of activist and community organizer Rudy Lozano, whom Washington worked closely with throughout his campaign.

Shortly after Washington’s death in 1987, the alliance between Hispanics and African Americans, which ultimately worked together to elect Mayor Washington, quickly weakened and “fell apart due to disagreements over distribution of power,” states Claudia Sandoval, a doctoral student at the University of Chicago.

But will these two communities be able to come together again to affect political, economic and social change in the future, where both communities are in desperate need of change?

Elected officials, including Mayor Rahm Emanuel, have been “courting the city’s Latino residents, officials have promised bounties of protection and resources through sanctuaries for undocumented immigrants, aid to dreamers and refuge to Puerto Rican families displaced by Hurricane Maria,” Laura Washington wrote in the Chicago Sun-times. Historically, black voters have played a pivotal role in Chicago politics. In April 2015, Natalie Moore wrote on on WBEZ. org that, “Without the black vote, Emanuel would not have been re-elected,” adding in 2010, “he won most of the votes in black wards.”

“In the end, Emanuel won the April Runoff in majority African American precincts 57 percent to 43 percent,” defeating Cook County Commissioner Jesus “Chuy” Garcia, according

In 1983, the Hispanic and African-American communities helped elect Harold Washington, Chicago’s first black mayor. Washington won over 75% of the Latino vote, with the help of activist and community organizer Rudy Lozano, whom Washington worked closely with throughout his campaign. In this photo, Washington is shown speaking at the commissioning of USS Chicago (SSN-721) in September 1986.

to the 2015 Chicago Mayoral Runoff Election Analysis, a report provided by the Illinois Campaign for Political Reform (ICPR) and Scott Kennedy of Illinois Election Data. García, who finished second in the Runoff according to ICPR with 33.55%, had hoped to become the city’s first Latino mayor.

While the political divisions and coalitions between the black and Hispanic voters are noteworthy, Syracuse University Professor Robin Riley points out that black and brown populations benefit from forming alliances. Robin Riley said historically, a “colorist sentiment was strategically used to preserve separation between minority groups in order to avoid coalitions that would ultimately take out white heteropatriarchy. Indigenous people were the first ones to be indoctrinated into thinking they

were hierarchically above the slaves, in hopes of deterring them from ever joining inevitable slave revolts.”

Moreover, Sarah Molano, AfroLatinx writer further explains colorism is discrimination based on skin color. “This doesn’t just include racism between groups; it includes discrimination within races and ethnicities,” she said. “It’s no secret that through Eurocentric beauty standards, lighter skin has been culturally instilled as the preferred skin tone,” she added. “This happens within both the black and Hispanic communities.” As a result of this dangerous phenomenon, it would prevent Latinos from identifying collectively with the black community to create social and political alliances,” Molano said.

She continues, “Despite this dichotomy

www.thechicagocitizen.com

among the racial groups, we need to reconsider the nuances of black-brown relations, and how they do not benefit from this polarization. In fact, they support the political and economic hierarchy that keeps whites at the top and leaves black and brown people scrapping for 2nd place.”

Silvya Puente, executive director of the Latino Policy Forum states that the Latino and Black communities, “do not need to divide and conquer, and when [they] do divide and conquer it’s among [themselves].” Puente believes that both communities should work together to demand government transparency and solutions to negative trends of street violence and failing schools that exist in both communities.

She continues, “we’re a far cry from what equity looks like for each of our communities, right?”

Bank to adjust security following call from community, Collins

Sen. Jacqueline Collins

Following vocal concerns from members of the Auburn Gresham community and a public hearing of the Illinois Senate Financial Institutions Committee convened by Sen. Jacqueline Collins, branches of Fifth Third Bank will remove obtrusive security measures.

Collins praised the move as an example of how companies and communities can work together to foster mutual respect. The Rev. Michael Pfleger of the Faith Community of St. Sabina, who was active in bringing the

concerns of the community to the public, worked closely with Fifth Third and those who originally expressed their concerns to arrive at an agreement which will see highsecurity buzz-in doors removed.

At a March meeting of the Financial Institutions Committee, patrons of Fifth Third bank branches in Auburn complained the high security was unnecessary, undignified, and potentially problematic or dangerous for individuals with small children, disabilities, or limited mobility.

How to Help Prepare Young People for the Workforce

Study: U.S. Firms Accumulated Cash in 2Q18 At A Slower Pace Than The Previous Quarter

Mark C. Perna, workforce development consultant, education strategist and author of the new book, “Answering Why: Unleashing Passion, Purpose, and Performance in Younger Generations,” lays out a road map for better preparing young people for the opportunities ahead, while also closing the skills gap currently dogging the economy.

tudent loan debt is on the rise and, unfortunately, the high cost of tuition doesn’t mean that graduates are guaranteed to find high-paying, meaningful work after earning a degree.

“Our education and workforce development systems are broken right now, and as a result, the country is facing a crisis,” says Mark C. Perna, workforce development consultant, education strategist and author of the new book, “Answering Why: Unleashing Passion, Purpose, and Performance in Younger Generations.”

“Millions of jobs in sectors crucially important to our economy and society are open and we have no one with the right skills -- or even the desire -- to fill them,” he says.

In “Answering Why” (markcperna.com/book) Perna lays out a road map for better preparing young people for the opportunities ahead, while also closing the skills gap currently dogging the economy.

The Rev. Michael Pfleger

Here he offers some of his top insights and recommendations: • Biases and misconceptions about younger generations continue to persist and there’s an intergenerational struggle to connect effectively.

Perna refers to Generations Y and Z collectively as the “Why Generation,” because its members want to understand the “why” behind everything they are asked to do. We need to get to know and understand their traits and abilities if we expect them to perform beyond expectations.

• Non-college career paths have become stigmatized in this country. Experts like Perna believe that teachers and parents need to move away from the belief that everyone has to go to a four-year university to be a successful and productive citizen. Fulfilling, highdemand, high-wage careers can be attained by postsecondary training pathways beyond the traditional college route.

• We should prioritize career development

exploration and education as part of the K–12 system, Perna stresses. Even many teachers, counselors and school administrators are themselves unaware of the robust opportunities available to today’s youth and have tended to devalue career exploration for the sake of sending everyone through one pathway -- college.

• The Why Generation needs to better understand the relationship between selfmotivation and outside motivation when it comes to achieving goals, and parents and teachers can help. To succeed today, young people must develop the ‘want-to’ that fosters passion, achievement and positive self-esteem.

“As young people prepare for and enter the world of work, we need to coach them to do three things: focus, plan and take action,” says Perna. “This generation is tenacious and talented, but they need to be motivated to reach their peak performance. They can do it, but we have to help.”

U.S. companies continued to accumulate cash during the second quarter of 2018, but at a slower pace than they did in the previous quarter. Strong domestic employment numbers may have instilled some confidence among business leaders during the spring of 2018, but not enough to encourage them to reduce their cash holdings, according to the latest AFP Corporate Cash Indicators® (CCI).

In the latest CCI, a quarterly survey of corporate treasury and finance executives conducted by the Association for Financial Professionals, U.S. businesses increased their cash and shortterm investment holdings in 2Q18 at a slower pace than the previous quarter, as the quarter-over-quarter index reading decreased 13 points to +5. The year-over-year indicator decreased only one point to +16, signaling organizations had continued to build their cash holdings in the past year.

Treasury and finance professionals anticipate that they will continue to hold their cash reserves through the summer.

The forward-looking indicator, measuring expectations for changes in cash holdings in the third quarter, increased 4 points from their predictions last quarter to a reading of +3.

AFP began collecting quarterly data in January 2011 and has now collected 31 data sets. See the AFP website for more data on the CCI. The results of the July 2018 CCI are based on 144 responses from senior treasury and finance professionals.

The next set will be published October 29, 2018.

NEWS Mississippi Civil Rights Museum Tells Authentic Stories from the Movement

BY FREDDIE ALLEN

EDITOR-IN-CHIEF, NNPA

In the early morning hours of January 10, 1966, civil rights leader Vernon Dahmer Sr. was jolted from his sleep, as members of the Ku Klux Klan surrounded his house just north of Hattiesburg, Miss. Dahmer, a Black land-owner, had been actively working to register Blacks to vote and, in some cases, he even paid their “poll” taxes. It was enough to earn a Black man a death sentence in the South.

The Klansmen bullets ripped through the darkness splintering wood and shattering glass as they fired on Dahmer’s house; one of them hurled a Molotov cocktail through the window; the Klan wanted to burn Dahmer and his family alive.

As smoke and flames engulfed his home, Dahmer grabbed his shotgun and blasted his way out, creating a diversion as the rest of his family fled into the woods. Later that day, Dahmer died from smoke inhalation at an area hospital.

A few days later, Dahmer’s voter registration card arrived in the mail.

“These are the kinds of stories we talk about in the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum,” said Pamela Junior, the museum’s director. “We tell people all the time: Museums are living and breathing places.”

Junior lamented that, oftentimes, the history

of the Civil Rights Movement is told through the narrow lens of a few key figures, like Martin Luther King, Jr. and Rosa Parks. She said that it was important that people know that Mississippi was ground zero for the Movement; the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum helps to tell the stories of the people that were there.

“What we want to do is make sure that the stories are told authentically,” Junior said. “We have our own native son, Medgar Wiley Evers.

We have Fannie Lou Hamer, June Johnson, Owen Brooks…local people who made up the Movement.”

Junior said that it was also important to show that civil rights leaders were ordinary people, yet they still managed to have a significant impact on the course of American history.

Junior continued: “So, to see something so powerful that these regular, poor people did to make things happen in the state of Mississippi is awesome.”

The Mississippi Civil Rights Museum opened on December 9, 2017. The Clarion Ledger reported that the Dahmer family donated a truck that had been shot during the 1966 attack to the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum.

The museum promotes a greater understanding of the Civil Rights Movement in Mississippi and shares the stories of the movement that changed the world.

A press release that described the museum

said that visitors can witness the freedom struggle in eight interactive galleries that show the systematic oppression of Black Mississippians and their fight for equality that transformed the state and nation.

The press release continued: “Seven of the galleries encircle a central space called ‘This Little Light of Mine.’ There, a dramatic sculpture glows brighter and the music of the Movement swells as visitors gather.”

Each museum gallery highlights a specific sub-topic or period. Gallery 1 defines civil and human rights; Gallery 2 focuses on the Civil War and Reconstruction; Gallery 3 highlights civil rights activists and shares the stories of a Mississippi movement that changed the world; Gallery 4 peels back the layers of a segregated society; Gallery 5 showcases the sacrifices and the successes of the 1960s; Gallery 6 takes a deep dive into the Freedom Summer and local movements in Mississippi (1963-1964); and Gallery 7 tells the story of Black Empowerment from 1965 to the early 1970s.

Junior said that, through the civil rights museum, the ills of Mississippi are finally on the wall.

“We’re taking the bandage off of the sore,” Junior said. “We don’t allow it to fester anymore.

We let it breathe, so that healing can continue.”

The last gallery, Junior said, was designed to spark conversations about how all races can

move forward together.

“Martin is gone. Medgar is gone. All of these people are gone that were at the center of the movement, at the forefront. We believed in them and trusted in them. These people are gone,” Junior said. “So, what we want to do is teach people that they are the movement.”

Junior continued: “We are the movement; it’s up to us to do the work.”

Gallery 8 is titled “Where do we go from here?” and features mirrors with quotes from Mississippians who made incredible sacrifices to improve the lives of others.

One of the last quotes that visitors see as they walk out of the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum is by Oseola McCarty, a Black seamstress and domestic worker who lived in Hattiesburg, Miss. McCarty, who “quit school in the sixth grade to go to work, never married, never had children and never learned to drive,” according to The New York Times, eventually donated nearly her entire life savings—$150,000—to the University of Southern Mississippi to fund scholarships for Black students. “[McCarty] said that, ‘if you want to be proud of yourself, you have got to do things you can be proud of,’” Junior said. “So, I want people to live by that mantra.”

“Privé Revaux has been tremendously successful in the United States,” says KRYS GROUP CEO, Jean-Pierre Champion. “The brand

is disrupting the eyewear market by combining quality, style and affordability, a position fully in tune with the Krys chain. The exclusive launch of Privé Revaux in France kicks off an ambitious strategy to win back the market of low-price sunglasses, which too often escapes

optical stores. This partnership lets us broaden our range by being the first to offer this trendsetting brand without compromising on eyesight health or our high-quality standards.”

and Philosopher optical collection– featuring anti-blue light technology.

Each Privé Revaux style is made with high-end materials including acetate, polarized lenses and a proprietary lightweight, yet durable metal alloy that will retail for €34.95 per pair at KRYS. “We are very excited to bring our affordable, on-trend eyewear to the French market,” said David

SHISEIDO Relaunches New Makeup Collection Centered Around Four Innovative Textures

Fashrash app seeks to improve the ‘just browsing’ experience when shopping

T

he relaunch of SHISEIDO Makeup is the latest nnovative chapter in the brands extensive history.

A pioneer in the beauty industry since 1872, SHISEIDO is disrupting the beauty space yet again by ‘Gifting Japan to the World’ with a cosmetics collection that is modern, minimalistic, visionary, expressive and creative. “The focal point of the range isn’t simply the extraordinary colors or its incredible performance, but the unique, sensorial textures,” says Jill Scalamandre, President, bareMinerals, BUXOM and Global Development Shiseido Makeup.

The brand’s new mantra — “Beauty Reimagined. Beauty Made With Soul.” — is reflected in the entire collection. The result is a weightless range of 21 products and 125 shades that are classified into four sensorial textures comprising of Inks, Gels, Powders and Dews.

Inks redefine the collection with products that provide graphic precision and extreme intensity, while Gels rediscover products that juxtapose a durable, high-impact finish with a featherweight feel, according to a press release.

Powders reinvent traditional pigments of the past via breathable, buildable, and bendable formulas, while Dews, a new category, recreates light to transform the surface of the skin. The collection also includes five handcrafted brushes reminiscent of ancient Japanese calligraphy.

To bring the SHISEIDO makeup collection to life, the brand enlisted

DAIYA Fude Brush

Schottenstein, founder of Privé Revaux. “Our goal is to provide the absolute best quality, service and price for the global eyewear market. France is an important step towards this, and KRYS is the perfect retail partner.”

The brand launched in June 2017 via e-commerce and direct-toconsumer with affordable, high quality and on-trend eyewear retailing for only $29.95/pair in the United States.

emerging artists to feature in the campaign with each artist representing a different texture category.

Renowned makeup artist Kara YoshimotoBua is the face of Dews; International multimedia artist YiZhou embodies Gels; Ballet dancer Sonoya Mizuno personifies Powders; and singer/songwriter Banks represents Inks. “This collection changes how we experience beauty, so we sought out artists whose work has reshaped the creative boundaries of their industry,” says Scalamandre. “A key priority from the start was to work with artists who have a genuine connection to the SHISEIDO brand, as well as the company’s Japanese heritage, either through their origin or their art.”

In addition to these unique faces, SHISEIDO Makeup established the Global Artist Collective, an esteemed group of beauty authorities brought together to present the new collection to the world. The collective includes Global Color Artist Patrick Ta; APAC Ambassador Pony; Japan Color Artist Hiro Odagiri; North America Color Artists Vincent Oquendo and Lottie; and EMEA Color Artist Gregoris Pyrpylis. While each artist hails from a different culture or country, a special tie to Japan is what unites every member of

Kajal InkArtist (Sumi Sky) the international collective. “We chose this diverse group of artists not only because they are masters of their craft, but also because they are representative of what SHISEIDO has always stood for: artistic expression, creativity and innovation,” says Scalamandre.

By choosing to develop the range in New York City, SHISEIDO has taken a unique global approach to the makeup relaunch of this iconic brand. Working in tandem with the company’s headquarters in Tokyo as well as tapping into SHISEIDO’s vast team around the world, this collection is the result of an ongoing international collaboration that defies languages, time zones and borders.

Shopping for clothes online can sometimes be a frustrating experience. Not only are there a ton of retailers, but also many just try to “spray and pray” with thousands of items in their catalog.

Adding insult to injury, it seems like none really understand the simple fact that more often than not, shoppers don’t really know what they’re looking for.

At least not exactly. Between FOMO and the common “just browsing”, who’s really ticking the dozens of filter boxes that are usually available?

When it comes to fashion, consumers just seem to “know it when they see it.”

Fashrash is a new free app that aims at providing a better “just browsing” experience. It lets shoppers swipe through different garments to quickly sift the likes from the dislikes.

The experience is very intuitive, especially for those who are familiar with the likes of Tinder, BarkBuddy, and other “swipey” apps. Even for anyone else, it will be perfectly analogous to browsing through a rack of clothes in a physical store, except that Fashrash actually uses sophisticated artificial intelligence to learn each shopper’s unique style, by analyzing the images of the garments they liked.

The more you swipe, the better Fashrash is able to find clothes that match your style.

“My wife is an avid casual shopper,” explains Ron Shalit, the CEO of Fashrash. “The problem is that she is locked into always going back to the same online store, because it just takes too long to find new ones that sell more of what she likes.

She also finds it hard to articulate her preferences, so searching is hardly an option. That specific retailer actually displays upwards of 10,000 items in its catalog, so her shopping is usually done by continually scrolling through a seemingly endless feed of garments, tapping into the ones that she likes. But this experience is far from ideal for her, as she usually has to plow through hundreds of clothes until she strikes anything close to gold.

Fashrash is precisely designed to improve this experience by a 10x factor.”

Fashrash aggregates clothes from the leading retailers in the US, and is quickly adding more on a daily basis. It is now available to download for free on both the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store.
