THE EVOLUTION OF A NEIGHBORHOOD:

Experts give historical viewpoints about changes in communities By Christopher Shuttlesworth

Have you ever wondered about the history of the neighborhood you live in or why it may have changed over the years? Neighborhood experts say reasons behind changes in communities are often related to a loss of industrial jobs,

racial changes and issues associated with immigration and gentrification. “Cities like Chicago are always changing and evolving, just like living things, they are always evolving both on a small scale of a lot, block or neighborhood,” said North Central College History Professor Ann Keating.

COULD NEW YORK WORKER-OWNED GREEN BUSINESS MODEL BE A SOLUTION FOR IMPROVING ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS FOR BLACKS NATIONWIDE? By Christopher Shuttlesworth

In the middle of political debates on the right and left over whether climate change is real, environmentalists everywhere are organizing in their communities and around the world to make their voices heard and say they will hold their elected officials to the highest standards of honesty, fairness, and integrity when they march on Washington, D.C. on Earth Day coming up in just a few days. A yearly event, Earth Day is recognized annually and is a time to observe and reflect on the importance of protecting the earth. In celebration of Earth Day this year, organizers from the Earth Day Network and the March for Science, are co-organizing

a rally and teach-in on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.. on April 22. The day’s program will include speeches and trainings with scientists and civic organizers, musical performances, and a march through the streets of Washington, D.C. The crowd will gather at 8:00am, and the teach-in will begin at 10:00am., according to earthday.org. Using the teach-in concept deployed for the very first Earth Day in 1970, the rally and teach-in on the National Mall will focus on the need to hold the nation’s leaders – both in science and in politics – accountable for what happens to the earth. While organizers continue to rally and fight for environmental justice, black environmentalists have been a part of this struggle long before environmental disasters like Katrina

and the horrific water crisis in Flint, Michigan occurred. Leaders in the movement like Rev. Lennox Yearwood Jr., president and chief executive officer of the Hip Hop Caucus discussed why the new generation should be concerned about standing up for science when he was quoted on earthday.org as saying, “From George Washington Carver to Mae Jemison, African American scientists have made tremendous contributions to America since its inception. That is why it is imperative and critical for the Hip Hop Caucus and young people of color to not only stand up for scientists, but to ensure that their work is protected and respected for future generations,” Lennox emphatically stated. So, what are scientists saying when it comes to climate

the Citizen celebrates 52 years of service

William Garth Sr. The Chicago Citizen Newspaper Group Inc. (CCNG) has been in existence for 52 years and celebrates its anniversary each year on April 19. Under the leadership of the papers’ past chief executive officer, president and publisher William Garth, Sr., the Citizen has flourished and is now the largest black-owned chain of community newspapers in the Midwest. After the death of Garth in 2016, his son, Durrell, became chief executive officer, president and publisher where he and his wife Janice manage the daily operations of the papers.

he Citizen was founded by the late Illinois Congressman Augustus Alexander “ Gus” Savage in 1965, during the height of the Civil Rights era and yet on the helm of the passing of the Voter Rights Act. Through three newspapers including the Chatham Citizen, Southend Citizen and Weekend Citizen, the Citizen Newspaper chain quickly became the voice for the Black community, telling the stories of many from the Westside to the South side and throughout neighborhoods in Chicago. Moving forward, in the late “80’s” under the leadership of William Garth, Sr., who

purchased the newspaper chain from Savage, the Citizen added the Hyde Park and South Suburban Citizen Newspapers, making it the largest Black-owned chain of audited weeklies in the Midwest with a circulation of 121,000 and a readership over 400,000. The Citizen Newspapers can be found weekly whether rain, snow, sleet or shine at local grocery stores, churches, libraries, schools and even on your door step. For 52 years, the Citizen has stood committed to informing, challenging and contributing to the growth of the community. A trusted and reliable news source, the Citizen has earned the right to be called, “The Eyes and Ears” of the community.”

a lot sooner due to the new findings and reports of changes in the climate,” he said. Organizing on the grassroots level has had an important impact on efforts to improve the environment for blacks. Green Workers Cooperatives is one of those organizations working to make conditions better. Based in South-Bronx, New York City, the organization’s goals are futuristic and focused. The organization is committed to the development of worker-owned green businesses to improve the environment in neighborhoods occupied by minorities. It’s a business model that could be replicated in cities all over which are facing the fallouts that negative disruptions in the environment can bring or that could bring, and It’s an organization Freilla founded. Freilla said the Bronx was considered the “slumps” back

in the 1950s and added the neighborhood has now become the dumping ground for a lot of industries that white and wealthier parts of the city prefer not to associate with. He added the only way to change the situation is by building up more workerowned green businesses in communities and getting rid of outof-state business owners who don’t value the health and safety of the people in the community. “When you have owners who are workers, then that means the owners are living closer to where their facility actually is, which means that those owners are less likely to make decisions that are detrimental to the health of the neighborhood because of their ties to the neighborhood,” Freilla said. “You don’t gas your own neighborhood because you don’t gas your neighbors and you don’t want people talking bad about you at the

supermarket.” Freilla, who is one of the top black environmentalists in the nation has over 13 years of experience in cooperative & green business development. He said he started Green Workers Cooperatives so he could turn the tide on environmental abuses that he saw happening in low-income communities of color. He added Green Workers Cooperatives believes it’s important for people and businesses to be responsible members of their community and to take care of the earth that we’re all a part of. “People come to us with all kinds of business ideas and whatever their idea is, our approach is that every business needs to be a green business because if it’s not, then they’re contributing to the problem and making things worse,” he said.

New, Improved ‘Getting Around Illinois’ Website

The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) has introduced a redesigned GettingAroundIllinois.com that provides continually updated information in a mobilefriendly format that’s more convenient for the motoring public in Illinois. In keeping with the demands of today’s users, the new website includes the ability to identify and zoom in to your location, travel route or destination, whereas the former site offered a static map that provided a broad view of a user’s overall location. Additionally, the new website is operated by a cloud-based system, creating a better opportunity to provide real-time information and reducing potential system downtime. “We are very excited to provide this new-and-improved resource for travelers,” said Illinois Transportation Secretary Randy Blankenhorn. “GettingAroundIllinois.com is a great place to get important information – from winter road conditions to construction site locations to road or bridge closures – for any trip, any time of the year. The new mobilefriendly format will get travelers the information they need quickly and conveniently.”

Duckworth Hosts Town Hall Meeting at Harper College in Palatine

U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) hosted a town hall meeting at Harper College to meet with constituents, answer questions and discuss her work to serve Illinois in the U.S. Senate. A livestream video of the event is available on the Senator’s Facebook page here. “I understand that many people feel like the President and other leaders in Washington aren’t listening to them, but I want them to know that I’m here and I’m listening,” said Senator Duckworth. “Conversations with my constituents are essential to my work to serve the people of Illinois, and I look forward to hearing from more Illinoisans across the state in the weeks and months ahead.” Senator Duckworth has made meeting with constituents and learning about issues facing their local communities a priority while serving in the Senate. Since January, Duckworth has held several roundtable discussions with local leaders across Illinois to talk about vital issues like infrastructure, transportation and job creation. She also regularly invites all Illinois constituents visiting the Washington, D.C. region to join her for coffee and donuts to answer questions and listen to their concerns. Duckworth plans to continue to create new opportunities to engage with her constituents in the weeks ahead as part of her mission to serve the people of Illinois.

The employment prospects for African Americans showed little improvement in March, according to the Labor Department’s most recent jobs report. The labor force participation rate, which is the share of Blacks who either hold jobs or are looking for work, remained unchanged from February (62.3 percent) to March. The share of Blacks who have jobs within the population (employmentpopulation ratio or E-POP) was also flat (57.3 percent). The Black unemployment rate improved slightly, decreasing from 8.1 percent to 8 percent in March. Meanwhile, the key labor market indicators for White workers continued to improve under the Trump Administration. The labor force participation rate for White workers ticked up from 62.9 percent in February to 63 percent in March and the E-POP increased from 60.3 percent to 60.5 percent last month. The unemployment rate for White workers also improved, dipping below 4 percent in March. The labor force participation rate for Black men over 20 yearsold climbed up a few rungs from 67.8 percent in February to 68.1

percent in March and the E-POP ticked up from 62.5 percent to 62.6 percent. The jobless rate increased from 7.8 percent to 8.2 percent in March, which may occur when workers are optimistic about their prospects. The labor force rate for White men over 20 years-old decreased from 72 percent to 71.9 percent in March. The E-POP also declined from 69.3 percent in 69.2 percent. The unemployment rate improved from 4.1 percent to 3.9 percent, but this was most likely the result of White men leaving the labor market in March. The labor force rate for Black women over 20 years-old was the same 62.7 percent in March that it was in February. The employment-population ratio increased from 58.3 to 58.6 percent in March. The jobless rate for Black women fell from 7.1 percent to 6.6 percent in March. The labor force rate for White women over 20 years-old rose from 57.6 percent to 57.8 percent in March. The E-POP also increased from 55.5 percent to 55.7 percent in March. The unemployment rate for White women fell from 3.7 percent to 3.5 percent in March indicating that White women entered the labor market and found jobs at higher rates in March compared

to February. The national unemployment rate was 4.5 percent in March and the economy added 98,000 jobs, the lowest monthly job growth under the Trump Administration, so far. The professional and business services sectors added 56,000 jobs and retail trade lost 30,000 jobs in March, according to the Labor Department. In a statement about the March jobs report, Rep. Bobby Scott (D-Va.) said that the current economic growth, once again, disproves President Trump’s claim that he was handed ‘a mess’ by the Obama Administration. “President Trump and Congressional Republicans have failed to build on the economic progress made during the Obama years,” said Scott. Scott also noted that the House Republicans of the 115th Congress have rolled back protections that would help Americans stay safe at work, have access to a high-quality education, save for retirement, breathe clean air and drink clean water. In a blog post about the March employment numbers, Elise Gould, a senior economist with the Economic Policy Institute, said that, despite President Trump’s claims, the

economy has been slowly but steadily headed ever-closer to full employment for years. Gould also refuted Trump’s assertion that he could enact policies that will see the American economy add 25 million new jobs over the next 10 years. “This pace of job growth over a decade is pretty much impossible to envision,” said Gould. “But we could in theory see 2-3 years of significantly faster job growth than what has characterized the recent past. Unfortunately, no sign of this theoretical possibility has shown up in the data yet.” Gould said that policymakers must aggressively pursue full

employment to ensure that all workers share in the nation’s economic growth. “While the topline indicators provide important measures of the overall economy, workers of color, as well as young workers and less credentialed workers, suffer from higher than average unemployment rates in both good times and bad,” said Gould. “For example, it was only in July 2015 that the Black unemployment rate finally ducked below where the White unemployment rate was at its peak in the aftermath of the Great Recession.”
