MICHELLE OBAMA CHURCH

WEEKLY INSPIRATIONS FROM REV. DR. DERRICK B. WELLS, SENIOR MINISTER OF CHRIST UNIVERSAL TEMPLE + P12

Michelle Obama is the nation’s first and only African-American First Lady of the United States.

Having served as the 44th First Lady, she is the wife of former U.S. President Barack Obama. Prior to her role as first lady, Michelle was a lawyer, Chicago city administrator and community-outreach worker.

The consummate educator, Michelle attended Princeton University, graduating cum laude in 1985 with a B.A. in Sociology. She went on to study law at Harvard Law School, where she took part in demonstrations calling for the enrollment and hiring of more minority students and professors.

She was awarded her J.D. in 1988.

As the 44th first lady of the United States, Michelle Obama focused her attention on issues such as the support of military families, helping working women balance career and family and encouraging national service. During the Obama presidency, Michelle and Barack Obama volunteered at homeless shelters and soup kitchens in the Washington D.C. area. Michelle also made appearances at public schools, stressing the importance of education and volunteer work.

Ever conscious of her family’s diet and health, Michelle supported the organic-food movement, instructing the White House

kitchens to prepare organic food for guests and her family. Throughout the presidency, Michelle remained committed to her health-andwellness causes and in 2012, she announced a new fitness program for kids as part of her “Let’s Move” initiative.

REPORT:

CPS Charter High School Graduates 20% More Likely to Enroll in College Than Traditional CPS Graduates CHICAGO - Twenty years after the first charter public high school opened in Chicago, a new report released recently by the Illinois Network of Charter Schools found that charter high school seniors are 20 percent more likely to enroll in college than other CPS seniors -- and that charter schools are dramatically increasing college access for historically underserved students.

“Chicago’s charter high schools sent 73 percent of their graduates to college last year -- 20 percent more than students who graduated from other Chicago public high schools,” said Andrew Broy, president of the Illinois Network of Charter Schools (INCS). “These results clearly indicate that charter high schools are providing a path to success for thousands of Chicago kids who might otherwise not have that chance.”

Half of Chicago’s top 20 public high schools for college enrollment were charter schools in 2017. While almost all of the district-run schools in the top 20 were one of Chicago’s exclusive, selective enrollment high schools, each of the top tier charter schools were open to all students, with no admissions exam. Charter school students

attending top 20 schools were more than twice as likely to be students with special needs, twice as likely to be low-income students, four times as likely to be bilingual, and 64 percent more likely to be Black or Latino than district school students in the top 20.

“Charter high schools are proving that no matter your race, your zip code, your country of origin, or the language you speak at home, you can go to a public school in Chicago and get a great education that prepares you for college,” said Michael Milkie, CEO and superintendent of the Noble Network of Charter Schools, Milkie also noted that in 83 percent of the neighborhoods served by charter schools, a charter high school was the best school in the neighborhood for getting students into college.

“A college degree has never been more important for succeeding in today’s society,” said Constance Brewer, chief external affairs officer for Noble schools. “College graduates have more professional opportunities during the course of their lifetime than those with only a high school diploma; that’s why it’s so important that all kids in

our city have the opportunity to go to college.”

The results of the INCS study were released at a press conference announcing the formation of Elevate Chicago -- a newly formed coalition of Chicago charter schools and community organizations united on behalf of pro-charter public policy and to give thousands of charter school parents a voice in policy debates impacting their children.

“A charter public high school made sure that my daughter got into college,” said Carmela Pointer, who has a child attending Ralph Ellison on Chicago’s south side. “Every child in Chicago deserves the opportunity to go to college, and Elevate Chicago will help us reach that goal.”

“Charter public schools have given parents in my community the opportunity to choose great public schools for our kids,” said Albert Mendez, who has children enrolled in both Irving Park School and Northtown Academy.

“We’re proud to work hand in hand with families to make sure that every student has an opportunity to attend college,” said Elizabeth Shaw, CEO of Chicago International Charter Schools.

NLIHC REPORTS SHORTAGE OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING

A

new report released Mar. 2, 2017, by the National Low Income Housing Coalition (NLIHC) and Housing Action Illinois, found a shortage of 324,178 affordable and available rental homes in Illinois for extremely low income (ELI) renter households and those individuals with incomes at or below 30% of their area median income or the poverty guideline. Nationally, there is shortage of 7.4 million affordable and available rental homes for ELI households, according to a NLIHC press release.

NLIHC’s Policy Director Bob Palmer said this new report puts extremely low income households at risk of homelessness because these families are living from paycheck to paycheck.

The study finds there are just 32 affordable and available units for every 100 ELI renter households in Illinois and that 74% of ELI renter households are severely

cost-burdened, spending more than half of their income on housing. After paying their rent, these households have insufficient resources left for other necessities like food, medicine, transportation, or child care, according to a NLIHC press release.

Palmer said the recent data on extremely low income households was not surprising to his staff because this information is far too normal for people who make minimum wage, people who work part-time jobs and for individuals who are either under-employed or who are on fixed incomes like Social Security.

“It’s just challenging that the private market is not making it available for [extremely low income households] and creating houses where the rent is affordable,” Palmer said. “So, it’s really important that we have support from the federal government but also, have state and local government resources to help create housing that helps people make their rent.”

The NLIHC-led United for Homes campaign is calling for changes to be made to the “mortgage interest deduction that would benefit millions of additional lower income homeowners and generate billions of dollars in savings for investments in affordable rental housing,” according to a NLIHC press release.

Palmer said he hopes that this new report and campaign will bring attention to the problem, but does not know how much of a positive affect it will have due to the new Presidential stance on the matter.

“Unfortunately, what we’re likely to see from the Trump administration, Republicans and Congress, [will] be a proposal to cut funding for programs like public housing and other programs that create affordable housing,” Palmer said. “We should be putting more resources into those programs, but unfortunately we’re likely to have to spend the next year working to protect the resources we have.”

Up to $100,000 in Scholarships to Students Pursuing Agriculture-related Studies AUBURN HILLS, Mich.- The National Black Farmers Association (NBFA) Scholarship Program is now accepting applications for the 2017-18 academic year. In its third year, the NBFA Scholarship Program will award scholarships of up to $5,000 to African-American farmers or dependents of African-American farmers who plan to enroll or who are enrolled in agriculture-related study at an accredited two-year or four-year college, university or vocational-technical school.

Funded by the FCA Foundation, the charitable arm of North American automaker FCA US LLC, the NBFA Scholarship Program will award up to $100,000 in scholarships this year.

“Higher education provides essential tools, knowledge and resources that allow people to pursue and achieve their goals,” said Lesley Slavitt, Head of Civic Engagement, FCA US LLC, and CEO of the FCA Foundation. “It is a privilege for

the FCA Foundation to be a partner with the National Black Farmers Association and these remarkable students to ensure that the next generation of African-American farmers receive the training and skills that will enable them to thrive.”

participation in agricultural and community activities, and career goals and objectives.

Applications will be accepted at https://www. scholarsapply.org/blackfarmersassociation through April 28, 2017, or until 100 applications have been received, whichever comes first.

“My father taught me very early on that land is the most important tool that a person can possess. And he taught me if I treat the land good, the land will take care of me,” said John Boyd, Jr., President of the National Black Farmers Association. “Educating aspiring African-American farmers provides an opportunity to increase and advance agricultural technology, which will be passed on as a vital part of our rich farming legacy to future generations.”

Since 2015, the NBFA Scholarship Program has made 40 scholarships and provided $187,500 in educational support to students participating in a diverse range of agricultural-related studies, including agribusiness, food sciences, biology, holistic nutrition, urban farming and veterinary science.

MONEY MATTERS

Scholarship Fund Helps Close Racial Disparity Gap BRYN MAWR, Pa. - The American College of Financial Services, the nation’s only non-profit, accredited college devoted to financial services, has launched a scholarship program aimed at increasing the number of African Americans in the financial services profession. This fund is part of a broader coalition effort to double the number of African American financial advisors over the next decade.

According to the latest data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, only 7.6 percent of financial advisors are African American, despite the fact that African Americans account for about 13 percent of the nation’s population. To challenge this, The American College African American Scholarship program is bringing awareness to and helping close the racial gap by providing African American students who are in college, just completing their college work, as well as career changers with an opportunity to earn a professional credential and find work in financial services.

The scholarships will cover 100 percent of the cost to obtain a professional designation from The American College of Financial Services for applicants who are accepted into the program.

To kick off the effort, The American College of Financial Services is providing scholarship funding of $200,000. With the help of individual and corporate partners, the goal is for the fund to grow into the millions. Additionally, The College’s President and CEO Dr. Robert Johnson is

challenging stakeholders throughout the financial services community – from academic institutions to professional associations and financial services companies – to work together to reach the goal of doubling the number of African American financial advisors in the next 10 years.

“One of the biggest problems facing the financial services profession is a profound lack of diversity,” said Dr. Johnson. “We believe all of us in this field have more work to do in recruiting, educating, placing, and supporting thousands more African American financial advisors. The face of this profession needs to change, and the change can start right now if all of us pull together.”

“Overall, Americans are woefully underprepared for retirement, and for African Americans it’s even worse,” said Professor Jocelyn Wright, who helped create the fund and is an assistant professor at the College. “If there were more black advisors providing financial services in black communities, then more black families would be better prepared for retirement. One of the major objectives of this scholarship program and the larger effort to double the number of African American advisors over the next decade is to help address that retirement crisis.”

The College intends to award scholarships by the end of the year. For more information about the scholarship program, go to theamericancollege.edu/ double2027. PRNewswire-USNewswire

Minority-owned firm to work on proposed development of Detroit’s tallest building (Black PR Wire) Hamilton Anderson Associates (HAA), a multi-disciplinary Detroit-based design firm, will help design one of Detroit’s most historic sites, in partnership with New York City-based SHoP Architects. The preliminary design and plans for the site of the former J.L. Hudson’s Department Store (Hudson’s Site) were presented by Bedrock to the Downtown Development Authority (DDA), which approved a timeline for the groundbreaking of the development by December 1, 2017.

“In its heyday, Hudson’s was a premier destination in the heart of downtown. After the flagship store closed in 1983, the structure would bring back fond memories of a vibrant Detroit,” says Sandra Laux, Project Architect, HAA. “We now have the opportunity to be a part of creating unique, new architecture in one of the few vacant sites downtown.” (Black PR Wire)

Six Tips for a Healthier Smile People love to experience that “fresh from the dentist” feeling, when the tip of the tongue glides effortlessly and smoothly over a freshly cleaned set of pearly whites. So, why not have that feeling all of the time?

If you want a healthier-feeling mouth, follow these tips: * Brush regularly. Yes, you’ve heard it over and over: brush your teeth twice every day. It also helps to brush after eating and snacking whenever possible. Brushing keeps small food particles from becoming food for harmful bacteria. If possible, brush for a full two minutes. * Drink green tea. A study published in the Journal of Periodontology in 2009, found that routine consumption of green tea may help promote healthy teeth and gums.

Of the 940 men evaluated, the study found that those who regularly drank green tea had superior periodontal health than subjects who consumed less green tea. * Use probiotics. The use of products like EvoraPlus probiotic mints (www. myevoraplus.com) goes a long way in securing a good base for oral care. The probiotic mints add beneficial bacteria to the mouth, leaving less room for harmful bacteria to grow. * Floss once a day. Flossing helps clean and remove tartar where your toothbrush cannot reach. * Irrigate the teeth and gums daily. Oral irrigation helps to remove food particles trapped below the gum line. The addition of an antimicrobial fluid in your irrigator can further help remove the plaque that harbors harmful bacteria. * Take nutrition seriously. Avoiding sugar is key, but also watch out for simple or highly refined carbohydrates. Consume plenty of vitamin C, as it plays a vital role for building healthy gums and helps boost the immune system. One of the best defenses against poor oral health is a strong immune system -- and healthy food is your best source of essential vitamins and minerals.

It takes effort to keep a smile looking “fresh from the dentist” clean.

Chic, Feminine and Functional, emJ Company launches their laptop ‘It’ bags The emJ Company, a British centrepiece brand for professional make-up, hair, fashion and beauty kits worldwide, recently launched their laptop “It” bags which promise to be the most functional and attractive laptop bags on the market. Crafted from premium cruelty-free leatherette, each laptop bag is chic, practical and is spacious enough to fit a laptop and other daily essentials. Gone are the days of black, bulky, masculine laptop bags, instead, think chic, feminine, functional and fabulous.

Answering the call for an attractive and stylish solution to carrying a laptop in an oversized purse, emJ Company’s feminine, functional and all-theother-essentials laptop bags are made from soft-grain, high-quality vegan leatherette. The laptop bags can fit up to a 15” laptop and are available in ten colour and print combinations. The culmination of four years of design, testing, manufacturing and marketing

development, emJ Company’s inimitable design and ethical construction offers women a piece of luxury on their arms.

Emily-Jane Williams, founder of the emJ Company, said: “The emJ Company is built for creativity and we pride ourselves on creating highly desirable and intuitive products for our ever-growing clientele. After years of working in the beauty industry, I was frustrated by my own kit organisation as well as the lack of imagination within the professional market.

Now where we are in this digital age, I realised the market was lacking a stylish and functional solution for women who are on their laptops all day. I am so pleased to launch our gorgeous and animal-friendly laptop bags and hope they give women that added versatility to spice up their outfits.” The bags will be available for purchase on the emJ company retail site, www.theEMJcompany.com.

Inexpensive Ways to Improve Your Skin Improving your skin doesn’t have to break the bank. Here’s how you can improve your skin on a budget: - Exfoliate with baking soda. For less than a dollar a box, you can scrub your skin clean. Simply mix a small amount of baking soda with water to form a thick paste. Apply the paste to your skin gently, massaging your face with small, circular motions. Leave the baking soda on your face for 20 minutes, then rinse off the paste with warm water. Exfoliate once or twice to remove dead skin and other blockages from your pores.

- Ditch the shaving cream. Shaving cream is aerated, so cans do not last long. Replacing shaving cream canisters quickly becomes expensive.

Many shaving creams contain chemicals and fragrances that irritate skin, leading to dry patches and acne.

Switching to shaving oil can reduce expenses while also improving skin.

A little shaving oil goes a long way -; one manufacturer, Pacific Shaving Company (www.pacificshaving.com), claims that one-half ounce of its all-natural shaving oil will last 100 shaves. Better yet, it contains essential oils -; sunflower, bergamot, avocado, grapefruit and tangerine -; that help condition skin, eliminating the need for preshaves and aftershaves.

- Toss out your facial cleanser.

Soap dries skin, leading skin cells to overproduce oil and creating a vicious cycle of breakouts. The skin naturally produces oil for a reason, so instead of stripping oil away from your skin, give your face what it wants -; more oil. Mix 25 percent castor oil with 75 percent of another oil -; sunflower, safflower, coconut and extra virgin olive oil work well. Put a small amount of the oil mix in your hands, then rub it between your palms to create warmth.

Thoroughly massage the oil into your skin for about 10 minutes, then wet a washcloth with very hot water.

Put the washcloth over your face until it returns to room temperature, then rewet it with hot water and put it over your face. Use the washcloth to steam your skin two to three times, then rinse your face thoroughly with warm water.

Massage any remaining oil into your skin.

The oil removes debris from pores without stripping skin of its natural moisture, helping to improve your skin’s look and feel. Better yet, the oil costs much less than most chemicalbased facial cleansers. NewsUSA

NEW DATING APP PUTS PREMIUM ON NON-NEGOTIABLES

By Edward Henderson (San Diego Voice and Viewpoint/NNPA Member)

First dates can be nerve-racking, but every once and a while, you get swept off your feet by the potential of someone you’ve met. The butterflies in your stomach are dropping deposits and applying for permanent residence, fantasies of travel, deep conversation and future plans are dancing in your mind. While all of this is great, San Diego-based entrepreneur and life coach Angela Harris implores us to remember our “non-negotiables,” before we jump off the cliff into an ocean of what we think is love.

To do this, Harris has created a new dating app called “Non Negotiable.” The app asks users a series of important questions about the things that he or she refuse to compromise on when it comes to love and relationships while matching you up with others who share the same views.

“My whole desire has been speaking life into women and always doing it from a relationship standpoint and holding women to own their truth,” said Harris. “It’s all

about you owning what you say is important to you and not settling for anything less than people who will respect and honor what your truth is.”

The app, which is available now on Android and will be launching a version for the iOS next week, opens with a questionnaire so that users can identify what’s important to them in various categories related to dating and relationships. Along with the dating component, the app also attempts to educate people on the nuances of who they really are and to provide advice on how to become the best versions of themselves, before bringing someone else into their lives.

Another interesting twist to the app, that makes it different from others, is that users will not be able to upload a photo on their profiles. Harris made this decision in order to eliminate some of the superficial mistakes that can be made while looking for a partner.

“People can easily get caught up in looks and not listen to what’s being said,” explained Harris. “With this app, users can know on the first day as to what the thoughts and views on certain things are instead of

having trivial conversations without getting to the heart of who you really are.”

Harris is entering into a $2 billion industry with over 1,500 sites. The success of the industry has given her confidence that “Non Negotiable” will carve a niche even though she’s never been on a dating app herself.

“I have never used a dating app,” said Harris. “My goal of doing this is, because of the success stories I’ve heard from people doing it. It’s a huge business of people who are meeting and connecting that way. I may even become more engaged with it as the app grows and speak from a different standpoint.”

Harris has trademarked the phrase “Nonnegotiable” and is the only person who can benefit financially from its use as a name of a business. She also plans on doing focus groups and driving traffic to the app via social media for feedback. To learn more about Harris’ app, visit nonnegotiable.org.

SAVING HEARTS AND LIVES IN THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY

By Patricia Maryland, Dr.PH (NNPA Newswire Guest Columnist)

Our heart is the engine that keeps our body running. That’s why problems with the heart—such as coronary artery disease, high blood pressure or heart failure—can significantly impact a person’s well-being, and, at worst, be life-threatening.

During February, American Heart Month, we were able to shine a spotlight on heart disease, the leading cause of death for men and women in the United States. For African-Americans, it’s also a time to raise awareness of how cardiovascular disease disproportionately impacts members of the Black community. Indeed, nearly half of African-American adults suffer from some form of cardiovascular disease, compared to about a third of Whites, according to the American Heart Association.

This trend stems in part from the fact that African-American men and women are more susceptible than other racial and ethnic groups to a number of health conditions that increase the risk of heart disease, including high blood pressure, obesity and diabetes. African-Americans can take several small steps to manage these conditions and reduce their likelihood of experiencing cardiovascular problems, including adopting a healthy diet, exercising regularly and avoiding smoking.

But improving heart health in the AfricanAmerican community means more than taking care of ourselves as individuals; it requires a concerted effort by policymakers, healthcare providers and community leaders to address social and

environmental barriers and champion proactive strategies for heart health. Only with contributions from all of these stakeholders can we build a culture of health to counter heart disease among AfricanAmericans.

Improving access to preventive cardiovascular care is our chief priority in the fight for AfricanAmerican heart health. As epidemiologists continue to study whether African-Americans might carry a gene that makes us more prone to heart problems, ensuring that our family, friends and neighbors take advantage of regular preventive screenings is critically important to identify their risk as early as possible. The fact remains that AfricanAmericans are less likely to get screened for high cholesterol or have their blood pressure under control—despite being 40 percent more likely to have heart-threatening conditions such as hypertension, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

While care access plays a role in explaining heart health disparities, African-Americans also face unequal outcomes when they do seek medical treatment for heart conditions. For example, referrals for cardiac rehabilitation are given to AfricanAmerican patients at a significantly lower rate than their White peers, according to the American Heart Journal. This important type of follow-up care—which includes exercise training, education on heart-healthy living and counseling—is critical for patients. The lack of such care may be one reason African-Americans experience higher readmission

and mortality rates than white patients in the year after a heart attack, according to the Congressional Black Caucus Health Braintrust.

For our part, healthcare providers must make it our mission to remove barriers for African-American patients to preventive services, specialized care and effective follow-up procedures for heart health. And we must also partner with patients to determine a strategy that can help them effectively monitor and control their conditions. At Ascension, we are acutely aware of the challenges that keep minority patients from accessing healthy heart care. That’s why we recently established an ambitious goal: to eliminate race-, ethnicity- and language-based (REaL) disparities in preventable hospitalizations related to heart failure by 2022, as well as to achieve a significant reduction in heart failure admissions rates for Medicaid patients in our network.

Our goals are bold, but we know how to achieve them: by working side by side with patients to assess risk, consider every treatment angle, deploy the latest management strategies, collaborate with community partners and connect to necessary specialists and subspecialists. These efforts, coupled with education, innovation and a commitment to healthy communities, can help providers, policymakers and the African-American community eliminate disparities and save the hearts and lives of many more diverse patients.

Patricia A. Maryland, Dr.PH, is the President of Healthcare Operations and Chief Operating Officer of Ascension Healthcare.

DEAF+HEARING ACTORS TEAM UP WITH CHICAGO’S NEVERBIRD PROJECT FOR PINOCCHIO

CHICAGO - Young hearing and deaf actors will perform on stage together in a signed and voice presentation of Pinocchio, only the second production in the new Chicago Children’s Theatre, The Station.

Presented in association with Chicago’s Neverbird Project, this all-new production of Pinocchio promises to spring to life as an inclusive and inventive take on the classic fairy tale.

Performances are April 20May 7, 2017 in Chicago Children’s Theatre’s new 149-seat Pritzker Family Studio Theatre at The Station, 100 S. Racine Avenue, in Chicago’s West Loop community.

With Neverbird’s unique integration of Deaf and hearing actors, children will see this beloved fairy tale in a whole new way, and with a fresh perspective on the story’s central question how do you allow joy and grief to live in your heart simultaneously?

“This production is an example of ground floor inclusion and accessibility,” said Levi Holloway, co-founder of Neverbird Project, which first presented Pinocchio in 2017 at Bell Elementary School, a CPS school with a focus on integrating Deaf and hearing students.

“We are teaching all of our hearing actors ASL to tell the story, to enrich relationships between our Deaf and hearing artists onstage and off. We at Neverbird believe that total accessibility and inclusion is a necessity in American theater.”

To that end, ASL is a native part of the world of the play, and every actor will sign. Through

light, sound, spectacle and ASL, this Pinocchio will speak to every age and ability for an unforgettable family theater experience about love, loss, family and hard choices that aren’t so hard in the moment.

Neverbird Project’s adaptation of Pinocchio is co-written and co-directed by Levi Holloway and Katy Boza. The principal cast features Julissa Contreras, who is Deaf, as Pinocchio, with Haley Bolithon as Blu, Sarah Cartwright as Cricket, Chris Chmelik as Geppetto, Skyler Schremp as Cypress/Hannah and Mary Williamson as Redd the Puppet Master.

Claudia Tani plays Corktopp, Steven Huetteman is Blowpopp and Elijah Jackson plays Lampwick. The Afters/Redd’s Troupe of Vaudevillian Puppets are played by Makeda Duncan, Leah Healy, Paige Healy, Delilah Lane, Sofia Richter Nia Sarfo, Isabelle Teruel and Tali Vittum.

The Pinocchio production team includes Matt Anderson (ASL director), Frank Maugeri (scenic design), Nicole Lambert (music director/choreographer), Jeffrey Levin (sound design/composer), Claire Chrzan (light design), Charlotte Mae Ellison (costume design), Yvette Alvardo (costume production), Larry Heutteman (prop design), Cole Von Glahn (production manager), Corinne Bass (production assistant) and JC Widman (stage manager.)

Pinocchio is based on the Italian children’s novel “The Adventures of Pinocchio” by Carlo Collodi, which was popularized by Walt Disney’s wildly successful 1940 animated musical fantasy film.

from Rev. Dr. Derrick B. Wells,

Senior Minister of Christ Universal Temple

W

hen you spend enough time with people, one of the things you might come to realize is that we are naturally wired to strive, grow, and do better. Whether it is in a kindergarten classroom, a hospital examination room, or a family living room, we want to be better, even if we do not quite understand how to become better. This internal drive is part of the eternal beauty that is baked into the incredible way we are made. Yet, in life, there are some things we must work for and there are some things that we must wait for. Either way, we have an obligation to begin each day with dedication, if you want to end each day with satisfaction. It is important to know where and how to direct your dedication.

The direction of your dedication will likely influence how you use your internal power. You can remain dedicated to whom you used to be and allow your past to be the predictor of your future or you can commit to learning something new every day. Dedication to improving yourself daily precedes a future filled with possibilities. Dedication helps you grow and when you grow, you expand your vision, you attract more options, you open your opportunities, and you maximize your potential. While you exercise dedication daily, you will also have to practice patience. New things are usually difficult before they become easy and unfortunately, difficulty often serves as a deterrent for many of us. In fact, most of us never come to realize how close we actually are to achieving our goals and dreams because we give up too soon.

Every achievement we value takes time and dedication. The people who grow and achieve the most are the ones who practice the power of patience and persistence.

REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS ATTACK OBAMA’S EDUCATION LAW

By Stacy M. Brown (NNPA Newswire Contributor)

Without hesitation, Jill Lauren said that the most critical program that should be included under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) is proper reading instruction beginning in kindergarten.

“We know that children learn to read by using either a whole language or phonics approach. Some kids seem to pick up reading, as if by magic, while others need every sound and syllable rule explicitly taught,” said Lauren, who holds a bachelor’s of science and master’s degree in learning disabilities from Northwestern University.

Known as an expert in reading and writing, Lauren has trained teachers around the country to utilize a variety of structured, multi-sensory approaches to the instruction of reading and written language.

“Teachers of pre-K to [third grade] need to know how to teach both methodologies of reading instruction,” said Lauren. “Every child entering third grade should be reading on grade level, meaning we have four years to properly teach kids how to read.”

Lauren continued: “Without the essential skill of reading on grade level, the rest of a child’s school years will be troubled, and statistics show that most youth offenders, as well as adult inmates, struggle with literacy. This educational failing is a national tragedy.”

Lauren’s concerns come as Education Week reported a push by Republicans in Congress to

overturn accountability regulations for ESSA could have far-reaching consequences for how the law works in states, and the potential end of the much-contested rules is dividing the education community.

Groups supporting the move argue that it would free schools from unnecessary burdens, while opponents contend that overturning the rules could hurt vulnerable students and create turmoil in states and districts trying to finalize their transition to ESSA, the 2015 law that replaced the No Child Left Behind Act. The National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA), comprised of 211 African American-owned media companies and newspapers, recently received a $1.5 million grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to support a three-year, multi-media public awareness campaign focusing on the unique opportunities and challenges of ESSA. Bridging the academic achievement gap in education K-12 for African-American students and others from disadvantaged communities is of critical importance over the next several years, said Dr. Benjamin F. Chavis, Jr., the president and CEO of the NNPA. “The ESSA law was established to help increase the effectiveness of public education in every state,” said Chavis. “Our task is to inform, inspire, and encourage parents, students, teachers, and administrators to fulfill the intent and objectives of ESSA with special focus on those students and

DREAM BIG. PLAY SMART. Responsible_Gaming_CURRENT_QUARTER_Chicago Citizen.indd 1

communities that have been marginalized and underserved by the education system across the nation.”

Under ESSA, states will adhere to more flexible federal regulations that provide for improved elementary and secondary education in the nation’s public schools.

ESSA, which also reauthorizes the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), received bipartisan support and was signed into law by President Barack Obama on December 10, 2015.

The regulations are administered by the U.S. Department of Education and ESSA goes into full effect at the beginning of the 2017-2018 school year.

Last week, the House of Representatives approved a joint resolution that would overturn ESSA accountability rules issued by the Obama administration.

Those rules, which became final in November, are intended to detail for states the timeline for addressing underperforming schools, how schools must be rated, the ways English-language learners must be considered in state accountability plans, and other policy issues.

While many Republican lawmakers have moved to strike down the implementation of ESSA, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos told state school officers around the country that despite a delay, several regulations will be reviewed and changed by March 21.

DeVos told the officers that state ESSA plans will still be accepted either in April or in September.

ON THE GO JOSEPHINE’S WADE WAY

Jerome Photo Tommy Williams 312.375.5704

REV. JESSE L. JACKSON, SR. KEYNOTES 52ND ANNIVERSARY COMMEMORATION OF “BLOODY SUNDAY” SELMA – Rev. Jesse L. Jackson, Sr. was the keynote speaker recently at the historic Brown Chapel A.M.E. Church worship service and commemoration of the 52nd anniversary of “Bloody Sunday.”

On March 7, 1965, as 600 nonviolent voting rights marchers crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge on their way to the state capital in Montgomery, they were set upon by dozens of club-wielding Alabama state troopers, many charging on horseback through a thick fog of teargas.

The nation was shocked and embarrassed by images televised around the world of the bloody assault.

The next day, Rev. Jackson, then a 23-year-old seminary student, led two carloads of his classmates – black and white – from Chicago to Alabama to join Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and the determined marchers of Selma.

Four months later, President Lyndon Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act. “Until the end of time, Selma will be a frame of reference for justice and democracy,” Rev. Jackson said in his speech. “From Alabama to Gdansk, Poland to Soweto, South Africa to across the globe long standing authoritarian regimes have felt the

strong winds of democracy blown by common people emboldened and encouraged by what happened in Selma.”

Rev. Jackson, founder and president of the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, told the church that much of the hard won progress of the Civil Rights Movement is now under attack.

“Fifty-two years ago Attorney General Ramsey Clark and the Justice Department were leading on voting rights and enforcing the law,” Rev. Jackson said. “Fifty-two years later, Attorney General Jeff Sessions – of Alabama – is withdrawing legal protections for the right to vote.

“Fifty-two years ago President Johnson was engaged in a War on Poverty,” he continued. “Fifty-two years later President Trump is engaged in a war on the poor and immigrants and Muslims and the press and refugees.”

But as dangerous and uncertain as this moment in American history may feel, Rev. Jackson said, the “Bible says do not surrender to the darkness.”

“We must fight by night,” he said.

“As surely as it is dark, morning comes.

Don’t be afraid of the threats and the tweets. We survived horses in Selma, dogs in Birmingham. We will survive tweets and fake news.”
