JEMISON DELIVERS KEYNOTE ADDRESS CELEBRATING THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF DR. KING +P2

r. Martin Luther King, Jr. hasn’t been this alive since 1968.

He’s no longer that visually distant, two-dimensional figure, limited to speaking a single sentence taken out of context and shorn of its true meaning. Instead, the honest scholarship and media commentary considering what King faced and what he did have broken through the obscuring fog of conservative, and yes, centrist, propaganda.

In part, that’s because, today the confrontation between the forces of progress and the racist reaction to that progress is sharper than any time since the 1960s.

Today, as in the 1960s, American society is grappling with elevating new groups of Americans to full citizenship. Today, as in the 1960s, it’s being forced to confront the meaning of its widespread poverty and joblessness, and its diminished educational opportunity. Today, as in the 1960s, Black Americans’ right to vote is under siege from conservatives, as are women’s reproductive rights. And today, as in the 1960s, the country is debating the extent of government’s responsibility to protect individuals’ access to opportunity.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s words and actions seem relevant again because they’ve always presented a challenge to the status quo and always urged individuals to live up to humanity’s best possibilities.

That command has become particularly compelling again because of the remarkable juxtaposition of present-day developments.

Speaking in the early 1990s, when the conservative political ascendancy was at its height, Rev. Hosea Williams, one of King’s lieutenants during the civil rights struggles, explained that “There is a definite effort on the part of America to change Martin Luther King, Jr. from what he was really about – to make him the Uncle Tom of the century. “ Williams insisted, “In my mind, he was

1 Obama Bids America Farewell

By Monique Smith

T

he 44th and first African American president of the United States, Barack Hussein Obama gave his farewell speech to a maximum capacity crowd last night at the Hyatt McCormick Place, 2223 S. King Dr., in Chicago.

The president’s legacy is one of mixed reviews but he began to remind the audience just what those real accomplishments were.

“If I would have told you eight years ago that America would reverse the great recession, reboot our auto industry and unleash the longest stretch of job creation in our history, if I had told you that we would open up a new chapter with the Cuban people, shutdown Iran’s Nuclear weapons program without firing a single shot and take out the mastermind of 911, if I had told you we would win marriage equality and secure healthcare for another 20 million of our fellow citizens, you might have said we’ve set our sights a little too high, but that’s what we did. That what you did.”

The president also talked about creating DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals), the legislative compromise to the immigration issue facing children who have been raised in this country but were brought here illegally and are undocumented. The crowd soon erupted and began chanting ‘four more years, four more years’, to which the president simply replied, “I can’t do that.”

As the president spoke about the coming

days when the peaceful transition of power will take place and president-elect Donald Trump becomes the 45th President of the United States, President Obama said to the anti-Trump crowd, “Democracy does require a basic sense of solidarity but Democracy works only if our politics reflects the decency of our people.” President Obama spoke on the notion that his election meant we were living in a post-racial society. “Such a vision however well-intentioned was never realistic.”

The president encouraged both white and black Americans to understand the circumstances that form our different points of view with the understanding that the grievances on both sides have merit. He went on to speak about the unfair treatment of other minority groups by people who were once themselves were the victims of such biases. As he began to close his speech he took the time to acknowledge and thank his wife of 25 years, First Lady of the United States Michelle Obama. With a look of love and admiration on his face, near tears the president said, “You have made me proud and you have made the country proud.” He concluded by demanding that the people become more involved in the political process, be the change. “I’m asking you to not just believe in my ability to make change but yours”.

In pointing out the many challenges Americans face, he said, “Our democracy is threatened when we take it for granted... all of us should work to rebuild our democratic institutions...we should be making it easier, not harder to vote. When trust in our institutions is low, we should insist on transparency....our constitution is a remarkable, beautiful gift, but it has no power on its own. We the people give it power with the choices we make.”

“It falls on us to be jealous guardians of our democracy, he said, adding, “for all of our differences we share the same title – citizen, citizen...that’s what democracy demands. It demands you,” he said.

“The Chicago Humanities Festival is pleased to welcome Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin for a discussion about the life of their son and what he has come to mean for so many people here in Chicago and across the country,” says Phillip Bahar, Executive Director of the Chicago Humanities Festival. “They have handled the tragedy of their son’s death with grace and we appreciate their willingness to share their unique wisdom.”

Five years after Trayvon’s tragic death, his parents are touring the country with their memoir, Rest In Power: The Enduring Life of Trayvon Martin, a reflection on the personal tragedy behind their son’s death and the political transformations he — and they — inspired.

One conversation will be held in the Loop at First United Methodist Church and another will be held at the DuSable Museum of African American History in Washington Park. A TalkBack and book signing will follow each program.

Tickets are on sale now. For more information about the program and for tickets, visit dusablemuseum.org/events or call (773) 947-0600.

the militant of the century.”

Williams was right, and King’s importance – his militancy – is still not completely understood today.

He didn’t “make” the Civil Rights Movement. He wasn’t its operational leader or its major tactician. But he was its national and international spokesman – the man who, speaking in that rich baritone, could turn words into emotions that were otherwise inexpressible and into word-pictures that represented the entire tapestry of the centuries-long Black freedom struggle.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s 13-year life on the national stage brilliantly represented the courage it took in those decades to challenge the seemingly overwhelming power of the South’s racist power structure.

Far less acknowledged is the courage it took for King – after the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and his being awarded the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize – to resist the temptations of partial success and his own fame.

Instead, King kept moving leftward, to confront the racial and economic injustice that had created and maintained the Black

ghettos of the North, and the national hubris that had led America into the quagmire of war in Southeast Asia.

For this he was pilloried by President Lyndon B. Johnson and much of the White liberal establishment, and a good portion of the civil rights and Black political establishment, too.

His insistence that nonviolence was still a viable means of social change was ridiculed, as were his plans to stage a multiracial Poor Peoples March on Washington and involve himself in the bitter sanitation worker’s strike in Memphis, Tenn.

But those difficult years were actually King’s finest hours. At the moment of his assassination, he was standing where he had begun his public life: with ordinary Black people who were being unjustly denied their human rights.

King’s refusal to submit offers a lesson to take to heart at this moment when conservative politicians and theorists are trying to restore inequality of opportunity as the law of the land.

It tells us we should adopt King as The Militant of the 21st Century, too.

7 Vital Things You Need to Know about Facebook Advertising Founder of BusinessNET and leading Facebook advertising expert, Ben Simkin, knows a thing or two about making the most of the social media platform’s advertising service. In an article for Inc.com, Simkin gives entrepreneur and investor, John Rampton, his top 7 pieces of advice for budding Facebook advertisers looking to grow their businesses.

Rampton’s Inc. article, titled ‘7 Things You Need to Know Before You Launch Facebook Ads’, draws heavily on Simkin’s expertise. He encourages business owners to: Trust that Facebook ads will work for your business.

“It’s a misconception people tend to have [that Facebook ads won’t work] because they don’t realize the same people who are CEOs, housewives, blue and white collar workers, and consumers in general are all on Facebook,” says Simkin.

Have a goal in mind.

You need to have a clear understanding of the goals you hope to accomplish with your Facebook ads - the more specific you are with your goals, the more you can tailor your ads to help you reach your goals, and the more you can track your progress to make necessary tweaks to your ads.

Take advantage of Facebook’s promotional tools.

Use Facebooks tools like boosting your post, promoting your page, or sending people to your website – to make the most of your advertising budget.

Know your KPIs. Once you know your Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) you can focus on your actual net profits. “You don’t want to get caught up

trying to drive down your cost per click to 10 cents if that means you are going to make less sales, or lower profit sales. So we keep metrics on our marketing on Facebook and we can often turn $1 into $20 once we have a campaign dialed in. For instance, just before Christmas in 2015 we ran a campaign, where we spent $15,491 on Facebook Advertising and generated $360,000 in sales,” says Simkin.

Create a small target of potential customers.

Do some research, look for individual publications and blogs your ideal customer will likely follow, and use this insight to focus in on what pages your customers likely follow. This is one of the most effective ways to ensure your ads are getting to the right people.

Create rotating ads.

Make sure you make at least three ads with the same targeted interests and the same goals. Rotate these ads within your given campaign. If you do this, it allows you to gather individual information on each ad you create.

Make sure your split tests are statistically significant.

Anytime you’re testing an ad or landing page, you should look for at least 1,000 unique experiences or impressions before jumping to conclusions about whether the page works or not.

Simkin always emphasizes the importance of these tests.

“When running a split test in your marketing,” he says, “you never want to act too quickly, as that will often mean you’ll never find a winning campaign. It’s always better to wait longer and spend that extra $50 to $100 to know for sure if you need to change your campaign than to cut it too early.

Cincinnati.

An opposite outcome occurred in early December when 10 lawsuits filed by a group of Black businesses in Michigan were dismissed. As reported, the plaintiffs alleged that Mercantile Bank violated the Equal Credit Opportunity Act with practices and loan terms that resulted in diminished commercial lending. According to U.S. Judge Robert Homes Bell, the charges that alleged violations occurred from 2007 to 2009 were beyond the statutory limitation. The lawsuits were filed in 2013.

“Three demographic factors affect your wealth: your race or ethnicity, how much education you have, and when you were born,” noted Lowell Ricketts, a senior analyst with the Center for Household Financial Stability, a program of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. “Wealth is distributed unequally across all three demographic categories.”

Ricketts found that between 2004 and 2013, the median wealth of Black families fell by 55 percent. In 2013, the median Black family owned 8 cents for every dollar that the median white family owned.

Another analysis, this one by the Economic Policy Institute, found that in 2015, Black workers were paid 26.2 percent less than their White peers.

This column has and will continue to share consumer victories that diminish these and other disparities that consumers of color continue to face. But as Vanita Gupta, the head of the U.S. Justice Department recently noted, “success stories alone cannot erase systemic injustices. They cannot eradicate profound inequities.”

“But they do give me faith in America’s capacity for progress,” she continued, “ – the notion that we can march forward, imperfectly but unyieldingly, to build a more inclusive, more just and more free union. And they give me hope that together we can advance the cause of justice.”

Here’s hoping that in 2017 our nation’s public policies will continue the journey towards financial justice.

MONEY MATTERS Reverse Mortgages Can Be a Valuable Retirement Tool Today’s reverse mortgage has more uses than you may realize. In fact, many financial advisors are now recommending this loan to their older clients. Why? A reverse mortgage allows you to access a portion of your home equity and use the funds to pay off your current mortgage.* Any remaining money can be used for anything. The program has a variety of products to meet specific goals.

The fixed rate loan allows you to receive a lump sum or monthly distributions.

The purchase loan product allows you to purchase a home without a required monthly mortgage payment as long as you live there.* However, according to One Reverse Mortgage, a leading lender in the reverse mortgage industry since 2007, the most popular and beneficial loan option is the line of credit, which has the potential to grow in value over time.

It’s a fact that people today are living longer; and studies show that many are not financially prepared for retirement. According to an article from Time Magazine, one in three Americans does not have any money saved for retirement.** The reverse mortgage line of credit addresses these concerns. It isn’t just for people who have an immediate need. It is even more beneficial as a retirement tool because the line of credit product can actually extend the life of your retirement savings and give you access to more money later. Another smart way to utilize it is to live off the proceeds to delay using other benefits to give them time to increase in value. The greatest feature of the reverse mortgage line of credit is that the available funds increase in value over time when left untouched. It can be a perfect safety net for future expenses - both planned and unexpected.

Tips to Curb Muscle Loss as You Age (StatePoint) As the population of Americans over age 55 soars toward 70 million over the next decade, more Americans are searching beyond avoiding wrinkles and fine lines for tips, foods and products that will help them live the lives they desire well into their advanced years -- and this includes muscle maintenance.

As people age past 30, they can lose up to eight percent of their muscle mass each decade. Finding a way to maintain muscle through the years has been one of the more elusive parts of the healthy aging quest.

“Muscle loss can really take its toll. Even simple movements like opening a jar of pickles or gardening, become more difficult,” said medical director of NYU Langone’s Preston Robert Tisch Center for Men’s Health, Dr. Steven Lamm. “When you have less muscle mass, the muscles you have must work harder. It can be exhausting.”

Per Dr. Lamm, there are a few easy steps that can keep your muscles healthy as you age -- and new research shows there may even finally be a way to curb muscle loss associated with aging.

Be Active

One of the most effective ways to keep muscles in tip-top shape is to be active. Even quick exercises done regularly can make a huge difference in your muscle health. “Try the long route when you’re taking the dog for a walk or take the stairs

instead of the escalator. Staying active can also maintain joint health,” said Dr. Lamm.

Feed Your Muscles

Martin Luther King Jr. Day The First National Holiday Honoring an African American

Most people know that protein is a building block for muscle, yet don’t get enough of it. Sleep also feeds muscle growth and recovery. “I tell my patients to aim for a regular sleep schedule of eight or nine hours each night to promote optimal muscle mass, heart health and brain health,” said Dr. Lamm.

On this day, we too embody the Real Possibilities of making the world

Try a Supplement

You cannot halt aging, but new research shows you may be able to curb the muscle loss that comes with getting older.

A new clinical study showed that daily supplementation with the super antioxidant, Pycnogenol (pic-noj-en-all), improved muscle function and endurance and reduced some of the symptoms accompanying muscle loss. “I’ve recommended Pycnogenol to my patients for years as a natural extract for healthy aging, and as an important building block of wellness.

This research builds on those findings,” says Dr. Lamm.

Pycnogenol is one of the most researched ingredients on the market, and decades of research demonstrate the benefits of this natural extract for cognitive support, joint health, and skin health that all contribute to an overall healthier self as we age. It’s available in more than 700 dietary supplements, multi-vitamins and health products worldwide. For more

Under the direction of 14 time GRAMMY award winning artist Alicia Keys, Sa’rayah debuted her breathtaking rendition of Etta James’ “I’d Rather Go Blind” which immediately took over the number #1 slot, leaving both the duo and the legend herself Etta James beneath her on the blues charts.

Chicago Native, Sa’Rayah, NBC’s The Voice 2016 Finalist, performs a Homecoming Concert “A Dream Come True” on January 12th @ 8 PM at the DuSable Museum Theater.

Electric Bike Sparking Interest

© 2016 UNIVERSAL STUDIOS

LOCAL LISTINGS FOR STARTS FRIDAY, JANUARY 20 CHECK THEATERS AND SHOWTIMES

Oakland Park, FL - When setting out to build the world’s first, affordable electric BMX in the USA, James Aversa had obstacles to overcome. The first was the making his innovative new bike affordable, the second was how the BMX community would react.

In order to avoid the hefty price tags associated with the high-end electric bike market, Aversa turned to ProdecoTech®, the USA’s premier builder of electric bikes.

“As part of our OEM program,” stated Robert Provost, CEO of ProdecoTech, “We’re building the electric BMX for Life EV™ and leveraging our vendor relationships to ensure the lowest possible prices.”

While testing the electric BMX with pro riders at the 5050 Skate Park in NY, Mr. Aversa received positive feedback. For pro rider Dom Simoncini, it was love at first ride.

“It feels really cool when you don’t even have to pedal and you’re just cruising, like ripping airs,” Simoncini said. “It’s fun. I like it. I think it’s pretty sick.”

Pro Rider and YouTuber, Alex Whistance, AKA Big Boy, put the eBMX through some

really hard testing. “…I like the idea of it if you are a commuter, someone trying to get from work, especially in the city where we are,” Whistance said.

BMX pro and vlogger Austin Augie considers it a great transportation option for the streets of Manhattan. “… it is insanely fun and you can get savage on it for sure,” said Augie.

Some of the comments from BMXers on the LIFE EV Facebook page suggest that an electric bike makes riding too easy. However, Aversa is quick to point out that the bike is intended for commuting, travel and entertainment, not necessarily racing or BMX competitions.

Recently, Aversa received an encouraging letter from a teenager who lost a leg to cancer and is anxiously awaiting the electric BMX. For the teenager, this ebike is a game changer because it looks exactly like a regular BMX bicycle and he can ride it alongside his friends without having to pedal or use it in a way that calls attention to his disability.

Aversa plans to send one of the first electric BMX bikes off the production line to the young survivor without charge.
