GROUNDBREAKING CEREMONY FOR “NEW BEGINNINGS” GARDEN

FORMER PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA PLANS TO

TRANSFORM JACKSON PARK

By Christopher Shuttlesworth

> SEE MORE INSIDE

Former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama hosted a community event on May 3, 2017 at the South Shore Cultural Center, located on 7059 South Shore Dr., where the Obama Foundation released the conceptual vision and site map for the Obama Presidential Center.

The Obama Presidential Center, [which won’t be completed until 2021], will be integrated into Jackson Park, a historic park in the heart of the South Side of Chicago and the community the Obamas call home.

“The Obama Presidential Center will also strengthen the

economic climate of the community by bringing hundreds of thousands of visitors to the South Side every year, creating new jobs and opportunities on the South Side and revitalizing historic Jackson Park,” according to a press release.

Obama said there are a lot of Presidential Libraries and he believes there is a tendency to think that his Presidential Center will be a monument of the past or display his record of accomplishments during his presidential terms.

“When Michelle and I started talking about the

U.S. Navy Veteran walks 22 miles for suicide awareness

U.S. Navy Veteran, Bernard Coffey of the Bernard Coffey Veterans Foundation walked 22 miles from Lisle, Illinois to the Jesse Brown VA Medical Center in Chicago, Illinois.

Coffey and his group declared to take this walk on behalf of suicide awareness for Veterans and Military members. At the conclusion of their 22 mile walk for awareness, they were welcomed by Medical Center Director, Marc A. Magill, fellow Veterans, medical professionals and staff who were eager to greet him and thank him for taking this journey for awareness.

“The VA is the best resource we have, we have to give them time to work,” said Coffey.

Coffey says “not everyone understands us, but the staff understands us and they can help our families understand us.” “My goal is to get Veterans back into the VA and not stay at home.”

“New Beginnings” Garden

(Chicago) 8th Ward Alderman Michelle Harris and Cook County State’s Attorney Kimberly Foxx recently celebrated spring while furthering the cause of social and community justice by hosting the “Dig In and Get Dirty” Press Conference and Ground Breaking Ceremony. In honor of this new garden, community partners local neighbors, activists and others joined together with elected officials to plant a brand new Community Vegetable Garden, which supports and promotes neighborhood beautification, environmental sustainability and healthy lifestyles. The event was held in partnership

with the Community Justice Center South, located in the 8th Ward, as well as the Public Image Partnership, a local nonprofit youth job-training initiative. The youth will be helping to dig and plant the garden.

R3 takes to the streets

Chicago is still a segregated but a new generation of activists are building unity across community lines.

Over 30 grassroots and labor organizations began meeting in November, 2016 on the south side of Chicago initially to vent frustration and then to map a response to the presidential election and ongoing problems faced by Chicago’s poor, Black and Brown and immigrant communities. Groups range from Black Youth Project 100, which has led massive street demonstrations against police violence, to Chicago Fight for 15, a campaign to get a living wage for fast food workers, to Organized Communities Against Deportations, which has been advocating for expanded sanctuary for Black and Brown communities. The Chicago Teacher’s Union, SEIU-Health, Black Lives MatterChicago, Arab American Action Network, Asian Americans Advancing Justice, Desi Youth Rising, Inner-City Muslim Action Network, Pride Action Tank and others are involved.

The group’s most recently held a citywide teach-in which drew 600 people on April 4. On Monday, May 1, in honor of May Day, the R3 Coalition rallied outside the Cook County Juvenile Detention Center on Ogden and Roosevelt at 11:00 a.m. to protest the criminalization of young people of color, before marching to Union Park to join the Citywide May Day rally there.

Hobson will succeed Ilene S. Gordon, chairman, president and CEO of Ingredion Incorporated, whose two-year term will end on June 30.

Through my involvement with the ECC, I have had the opportunity to

meet and learn from some of the world’s greatest leaders, entrepreneurs and creative minds. I look forward to shaping an agenda that inspires and engages the next generation,” said Mellody.

Illinois Student Assistance Commission Awarded Federal Gear Up Grant

The Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC) announced that it has received a seven-year, $18.6 million federal Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP) grant, and launched its first year of Illinois GEAR UP (ILGU). The federal GEAR UP program provides competitive matching grants to states and partnerships working with high-need middle and high schools to provide early intervention that will improve college attendance and success and raise the expectations of low-income students. ISAC was among the state applicants in the most recent grant competition, and proposed a package of interventions and supports focused on non-cognitive skill development for students.

Over the next seven years, ISAC will use a cohort model to provide direct services to approximately 30,500 students in 25 middle schools and 25 high schools across Illinois.

All 7th graders at participating middle schools will receive services, and the program will follow the first cohort of 7th grade students through their first year of college. As soon as the first cohort of 7th graders transitions to high school, the high school will begin to receive services under the ILGU program. In addition, each year, the next class of 7th graders will be added to the program and receive services for the duration of the grant period.

Duckworth, Durbin Help Re-Introduce Equality Act to Protect LGBTQ Americans U.S. Senators Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) and Dick Durbin (D-IL) has joined Senators Jeff Merkley (D-OR), Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) and Cory Booker (D-NJ), along with 41 other Senators, to re-introduce comprehensive federal legislation to ban discrimination against LGBTQ Americans. The legislation was filed simultaneously in the U.S. House of Representatives by 194 Representatives, led

by Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI).

“It is absolutely unacceptable that someone can be fired from their job, evicted from their home and experience discrimination because of who they love,” said Senator Duckworth. “It is time for the entire country to join the State of Illinois in finally enshrining critical civil rights protections for LGBT Americans in federal law,” she said.

Despite major advances in equality for LGBT Americans, including nationwide marriage equality, the majority of states still do not have explicit LGBT non-discrimination protection laws. The Equality Act of 2017 would ensure full federal non-discrimination equality by adding sexual orientation and gender identity to other protected classes, such as race or religion, in existing federal laws.

The bill would explicitly ban discrimination in a host of areas, including employment, housing, public accommodations, jury service, access to credit, and federal funding. It would also add protections against sex discrimination in parts of anti-discrimination laws where these protections had not been included previously, including in public accommodations and federal funding.

“For far too long, the door of discrimination has been slammed shut on LGBTQ Americans. It’s been slammed shut on equality, it’s been slammed shut on opportunity, and this must end,” said Senator Merkley. “It’s time to have the Equality Act on the floor of the House and the floor of the Senate for a full debate,” he said.

NAACP NIAGARA SUMMIT ADDRESSES IMMIGRATION, VOTER MOBILIZATION AND LOOMING CIVIL RIGHTS CRISIS

Boom Shock Fitness Gets Brides Fit For Their Wedding Day and Beyond (Black PR Wire) -- Every year in the United States, more than 2 million couples get married, according to the National Center for Health Statistics. For some, it’s a special rite of passage and a chance to improve certain areas in life, including one’s health. That was the case for Cordnesha Mosby. For her, signing up for a customized Boom Shock Fitness workout plan was a chance to embark on a long-term commitment to wellness – beyond her special day. Founded in 2010

by Stephanie Jones, a certified personal trainer and group fitness coach, Boom Shock specializes in empowering women to meet their fitness or wellness goals.

“I told Stephanie that although I have a wedding coming up, I did not want a quick fix. I didn’t have a magic number that I wanted to [achieve],” says Mosby, whose nuptials are scheduled in September. “What I did tell her was that I wanted to have a trainer to help me jumpstart my journey in becoming a healthier me.”

Brides with limited time, but ready to achieve results, can get a customized Boom Shock workout routine and food plan that helps them meet wellness or dress-size goals. Stephanie, who roller skates for fun, seeks to empower her clients, who are often well equipped for the challenge but need guidance. “I don’t allow my clients to use me as a crutch.

You going to Red Lobster, you don’t have

to call me. You already know what NOT to eat,” says the University Maryland graduate and certified massage therapist.

“It’s about growth within yourself, learning your body and what works for you.”

Stephanie also assists women struggling with high blood pressure, diabetes, bad knees or back pain. These are women determined to defy a doctor’s odds against their ability to be healthy. “I also target that person who does not know what the heck to do,” says the 38-year-old, full-time entrepreneur, “too much going on, no balance; don’t know what to eat; and don’t know what to do to work out. I get excited when my clients come to me like this, and then notice improvement. ” When asked how she came up with the name Boom Shock Fitness for her company, Stephanie laughs and shares, “I went through a phase where whenever I got excited, I would say, ‘boomshockalocka!’ I did this for about a year.” She adds, “Then, I was having lunch with one of my girlfriends and said, ‘boomshockalocka!” She said, “That’s it!”

Stephanie says her initial reaction was – no. However, eventually she landed on Boom Shock Fitness.

Spring is underway, now is the time to get fit. Sign up for a customized bridal boot camp, live virtual workout program or personal training opportunity at http:// www.boomshockfitness.com/

BALTIMORE - The NAACP recently came together for a rare gathering of diverse policy, polling and demographics experts, activists, and civil rights leaders to develop a set of key strategic principles and objectives to counter the unfolding and escalating civil rights crisis during its Niagara Summit on the Potomac.

The groups addressed current attacks on immigrant communities, unchecked voter suppression, and the disturbing increase in hate crimes towards both Muslims and Jewish communities.

How to Keep Lips Healthy and Hydrated (StatePoint) Lips can be especially susceptible to the elements, leaving them dry and chapped. To keep your pucker healthy and hydrated, consider the following tips from the makers of Carmex lip balms, and Dr. Neil Sadick, M.D., a New York City-based dermatologist.

• Lower humidity can deplete and dehydrate lips. While it can be tempting to lick one’s lips, unfortunately, this approach will only make the problem worse -- as saliva draws moisture out of the lips as it evaporates. Instead, keep lips hydrated from the inside out by drinking plenty of water.

• Use moisturizing lip balms with ingredients that will seal in moisture and stay on your lips. If you are not allergic to sunscreen, use a product with SPF 15 or higher, such as the Carmex Lip Balm Stick, to protect from the sun -- not just on sunny days, but every day.

Make a habit of applying lip balm three to four times daily, ensuring that one application is before bedtime.

• Avoid high gloss lipsticks with little-to-no color.

They can be potentially harmful to lips because they can attract UV rays. Avoid these shades entirely or try a triple-layer approach for added protection: first apply a lip balm with SPF, followed by a colored lipstick, then finish it off with some shine.

• Cover your face, especially on windy days. Use a scarf to cover your lips when the wind starts blowing.

• When indoors, consider using a humidifier in dry environments to help moisturize your skin and lips.

More healthy lip tips can be found at mycarmex.com.

There is no reason to suffer through chapped, cracked lips. Great habits, such as applying a moisturizing lip balm or lip balm that contains SPF, can help you keep your lips healthy and moisturized.

The Summit pays homage to the early Niagara Movement founded in 1905 in part

by W.E.B. DuBois which addressed the brutal issues of racism and segregation at the turn of the 20th Century. The Niagara Movement, a precursor to the NAACP, adopted a “declaration of principles” to curb the entrenched postReconstruction culture of racism.

Reminiscent of the original Niagara Movement, the summit in the coming days will announce a set of core principles and strategies designed to broaden and deepen coalitions and strengthen policy priorities

among disparate organizations and communities. One key and overarching goal is mobilizing voters for midterm and upcoming elections to ensure elected officials supportive of inclusive policies and diverse communities are elected on the local, state and federal levels.

“In the face of a looming civil rights crisis threatening to relegate all Americans to a second-tier democracy, the NAACP is completely aware of the need to build strategic alliances with our partners to lighten our collective struggle. The Niagara Summit on the Potomac will bring together leadership from a variety of perspectives and communities to begin to build collective strategies that change the game and protect Americans against current attempts to roll back our nation’s hardearned progress toward true democracy,” said President Cornell William Brooks in a released statement.

Senior Minister of Christ Universal Temple

STRETCH TO GROW

H

ow are you growing?

Is it by accident or is it intentional?

How have you decided to get from where you are to where you want to be? More importantly, what will you need to do, be, and know in order to get from where you are to where God has destined you to be? What kind of growth work are you prepared to put with your faith? Scripture says, “What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but do not have works? Can faith save you? …faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead.” James 2:14, 16 Taking a clear look at life and where we need to grow can be, well, uncomfortable.

In fact, if you are like most people, you may experience great internal resistance.

This resistance pushes us to avoid rather than face the facts. Avoiding, however, leads to endless cycles of distraction, excuses, cop-outs, and procrastination.

Instead, stand up, lead on and summon the strength to deal consciously. Remember, you are strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.

I pray that you will stand up for good; stand in for someone needing a breakthrough; stand back for a larger perspective; stand down on mess and nonsense; stand out from the crowd; stand against injustice and stand tall in the word with truth and principle. You have to stretch beyond your comfort zone before you can scratch the surface of your greatness.

Like Joseph, your pit to palace experience can bless others along with you. Moreover, like Joseph, we must have the discipline to adapt and grow in order to maximize the season. God is ready to enlarge your territory...are you?

Giving to the Next Generation (Family Features) From self-expression to self-direction, there are countless ways to age out loud. Some of the most rewarding ways for older adults involve passing on experiences, wisdom and skills to others.

Everyone has something to share, and these ideas from the Administration of Community Living can help you get started.

Mentor. Use professional or personal experiences to guide a child, young adult or peer.

Example: Visit Senior Corps at nationalservice. gov to learn about becoming a foster grandparent.

Volunteer. Put skills to use while giving back to your community. Example: Sign up to collect food or clothing donations, serve meals at a local soup kitchen or help older adults with daily tasks at home, such as paying bills.

Teach. Impart expertise via formal or informal education and tutoring opportunities.

Example: Check with local schools that may need reading, math or science tutors.

Speak. Sign up for speaking engagements,

paid or unpaid, as well as storytelling events.

Example: Open-mic events, often at theaters and libraries, welcome speakers of all ages.

Engage. Visit a senior center or organize a gathering focused on connecting with others.

Example: Book clubs attract participants of all ages and encourage the exchange of ideas.

Write. Pen an article, op-ed or even a book to communicate wisdom and lessons learned.

Example: Start with something you know the most about, such as a career, hobby or historical event, and submit a column to your local newspaper.

Create. Pick a medium and use art to express yourself and share your perspective.

Example: Paint, draw, sculpt, play music, dance, make crafts – whatever suits you.

These ideas and many others can help amplify the voices of older Americans and raise awareness of vital aging issues in communities across the nation. Find more ideas at oam.
