NATIONAL BLACK CHILD DEVELOPMENT WEEK FOSTERS MORE EQUITY AROUND CRITICAL ISSUES FACING BLACK CHILDREN With one of the greatest civil rights issues of our time at the forefront – the preschool-to-prison pipeline among young Black students -- the NBCDI, Inc., recently hosted its annual National Black Child Development Week (NBCDW) from May 14 -18. Reaching communities across the nation, NBCDW 2018 raised national awareness, collective action and community mobilization against the most critical issues of the day for Black children.

Delivering on the Promise, NBCDI’s national campaign sought to address the rising rates of suspensions and expulsions in early childhood education. “National Black Child Development Week is always an important time for us,” said Tobeka G. Green, NBCDI president & CEO. “While we’re working tirelessly to advance our mission every day, NBCDW is a unified moment in time when the entire country celebrates Black children’s brilliance and resilience and mobilizes in lock-step to tackle the most pressing issues impacting Black children’s educational attainment and overall well-being.”

HEALTH

WOMENHEART PARTNERS WITH MONARCH MAGAZINE WomenHeart: The National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease recently announced its partnering with Monarch Magazine, to increase awareness about heart disease in women. Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women. With 1 in 4 women dying every year from heart disease, it is crucial to raise awareness and understand the differences between men and women when it comes to heart disease.

“We’re thrilled to be partnering with Monarch Magazine to reach more women and educate about heart disease in women,” said WomenHeart CEO Mary McGowan. “About 45 percent of women do not know that heart disease is their number one killer, and it’s time to change that. Together with Monarch Magazine, we can educate women about symptoms, risk factors, lifestyle changes, and how to take charge of their heart health.”

LAW & POLITICS

BLACK LEADERS HIGHLIGHT POLICIES TO IMPROVE COMMUNITY-POLICE RELATIONS To improve community-police relations, police should get out of the regulation business, be given greater training in identifying and dealing with those with autism and other cognitive disabilities, build stronger bonds with the communities they serve by offering gun safety training and be given greater recognition for the good deeds they do. These policy proposals and more are being offered by the Project 21 black leadership network as part of its “Blueprint for a Better Deal for Black America.” Project 21, a leading voice of black conservatives for over 25 years, is sponsored by the National Center for Public Policy Research.

Each Monday between now and July 7, Project 21 will release reform recommendations from its “Blueprint for a Better Deal for Black America” covering a specific subject area. The tentative release schedule is as follows: • Reforming the Criminal Justice System (May 29) • Reducing Economic Harm of Excise Taxes (June 4) • Promoting K-12 Educational Choice (June 11) • Strengthening Faith-Based Communities (June 18) • Stopping Wealth Transfer from the Poor to Non-Citizens (June 25) • Promoting Self-Determination (July 2) • Ending Excessive Regulation (July 9)

Several community members attended a recent meeting to protest the construction of the Pullman Artspace Lofts.

Pullman Community Members Want Developers to be Careful With New Construction Continued from page 1

BY KATHERINE NEWMAN

A

recent meeting was held by the City of Chicago’s Department of Fleet and Facilities Management(2FM) at The Pullman National Monument Visitors Center.

The meeting was called to formally present 2FM’s findings that a proposed construction project would have no adverse effects on the historic community. Several community members attended the meeting to protest 2FM’s findings.

The construction project that was reviewed at the meeting was the Pullman Artspace Lofts which, if approved, will be built on the east side of Langley Avenue, just south of 111th St. The project includes the restoration of two existing buildings on either side of the property and the construction of a completely new building in between the two that would be reminiscent of the housing structure that once stood there.

“The vacant parcel to be built on will be similar in height, mass, design, material, and details with the architectural character of the historic district,” said Kevin Laberge, from 2FM. “Indirect construction impact such as increased noise and minimal intrusion would be temporary and will not permanently alter these historic properties. The changes would not affect the characteristics that qualify these resources for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places.”

Several community members expressed concern with the lack of African American input on the project and pointed out that Pullman is a historically black community and accused Laberge of excluding black people from the conversations, www.thechicagocitizen.com

which Laberge said was not true.

“What African American organization do you have involved as a consulting party?” asked Bernadette Tucker who’s grandfather was a Pullman porter. Laberge responded by saying “I do not know.”

The Pullman National Monument Preservation Society (PNMPS) has been working to make sure the community is informed of the truth about the Section 106 Review process, which Pullman Artspace is currently undergoing, for national historic monuments.

In the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NHPA), Congress established a comprehensive program to preserve the historical and cultural foundations of the nation. Section 106 requires federal agencies to consider the effects of projects they carry out, approve, or fund on historic properties, according to the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation.

“2FM should know that this is a process and this undertaking will have a number of adverse effects. We have made a formal objection and we want to engage in consultation,” said Mark Cassello, president of PNMPS. The PNMPS is calling for a 60-day extension to do outreach in the African American community, a building on the site that reflects the size and spatial arrangement of the original building, and excavation of the vacant land before construction begins in an effort to save any historical artifacts that might land where the old building used to stand.

Written comments regarding the project can be emailed to 2fm_NEPA@cityofchicago.org or mailed to Kevin M. Laberge; Chicago Department of Fleet and Facility Management; 30 N. Lasalle St. Suite 300, Chicago, IL 60602.

The Grassroots Alliance for Police Accountability Calls the Community Discussion About Civilian Oversight a Farce

A

City Council-sponsored “community discussion about civilian oversight” produced frustration and anger among the vast majority of those in attendance at Corliss High School last night.

Supporters of two civilian police oversight ordinances were asked by city officials to give unplanned remarks detailing each of their proposals to the audience, which was divided into tables for what city officials called a “World Cafe.”

After presentations by the Grassroots Alliance for Police Accountability, the Chicago Alliance Against Racist & Political Repression,

and Public Safety Committee Chairman Reboyras (30th), facilitators asked attendees to reflect on what was missing. The facilitators were met with objections from residents across the room.

Prior to the meeting, GAPA had issued a warning that anything less than full, public debate on the merits of each ordinance to achieve an independent, fair and unbiased public oversight system would be considered illegitimate.

“It was clear residents were dissatisfied with the format of the community discussions last night,” says GAPA Coordinator Mecole Jordan.

“Chairman Reboyras’ ordinances not only negate the nearly two-year process of authentic community conversations we used to develop our recommendations, but they also create no meaningful role for civilians.”

Supporters of the GAPA ordinance and a separate ordinance to create a “Civilian Police Accountability Council” showed up in large numbers at last night’s hearing. Only Alderman Reboyras spoke in support of his ordinances that call for purely advisory civilian oversight.

“Our message to the mayor and city council is that Chicago residents will not accept a

civilian oversight body that is advisory with no power,” admonishes Jordan.

GAPA leaders left the public hearing in protest before it ended. Moving forward, they want Reboyras to change the format and to hold public hearings that reflect the gravity of police accountability.

“This is no way to make good public policy or to build trust,” said Jordan. “On an issue this important, the City Council needs to create real opportunities for Chicagoans to learn about the proposals, to debate them, and speak out about how to build real and effective police accountability.”

Project SYNCERE Inspires Underrepresented Youth To Pursue Stem Careers CHICAGO – Project SYNCERE, a nonprofit focused

on increasing the number of minority, female and underserved students pursuing STEM careers, announced it is hosting a day-long STEM competition for more than 300 students from 16 schools on Chicago’s South and Westside. The ENpowered Games will be held May 25, 2018 at the Museum of Science and Industry.

According to Project SYNCERE’s 2017 Impact Report: Since its inception in 2009, Project SYNCERE has exposed more than 16,000 underrepresented students to various career paths in science, technology, engineering and math. In 2017, 94% of high school seniors who participated in the Emerging Engineers program have gone to college and are pursuing careers in STEM fields.

90% of students from their E-CADEMY program credit Project SYNCERE with motivating them to want to go into a STEM career.

“In school, science was always about theory. There was no application, and it felt intangible to me. Project SYNCERE has shown me that engineering is creative; it’s about designing and development,” said Regan Allen, junior at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Boeing is focused on preparing and inspiring students to gain fundamental, 21st century skills through STEMrelated, problem-based learning experiences,” said Tony Toulouse, Vice President of the Global IT Infrastructure Services for The Boeing Company.

“Participation in the ENpowered Games provides our Chicago-area youth with the skills they need for success in school, while encouraging interest and excitement for future careers in STEM fields – many of which can be found right here at Boeing.”

Designed to increase students’ interest and understanding of STEM, ENpowered Games is an engineering competition for middle school students.

Study: Retailers Seek Closer Connections to Chinese Consumers

O

ver 80% of surveyed U.S. and foreign retailers see China as a lucrative market, as affluent Chinese consumers seek quality products from overseas. However, only 20% of retailers feel confident in their capability to succeed in China’s e-commerce market, according to research report The Cross-border eCommerce (Haitao) Opportunity in China released recently by leading consulting firm Frost & Sullivan, in partnership with China retail strategy expert Azoya Consulting. The survey focused on mid-size and large retailers with annual revenue of over US$50 million; 36% of the retailers earn annual sales of more than US$1 billion.

“This is the first report globally to review the Chinese cross-border e-commerce market from both consumer and retailer perspectives,” said Mark Dougan, Consulting Director, Asia-Pacific, Frost & Sullivan. “By understanding consumers’ behavior and needs, and retailers’ current situation, the report provides new insights and strategy guidance for international retailers who want to succeed in the online shopping market in China.”

With 500 million online shoppers, China is on track to exceed US$1 trillion in online sales this year. In recent years, China has experienced a 40% annual growth rate in the value online shopping.

The report’s key takeaways include: • Why Chinese shop cross-border: To access higher quality, trusted products (67% of online shoppers) and lower the risk of counterfeits (45%) • Top categories: Fashion (bought by 22% of online shoppers), beauty and cosmetics (20%) and mom and baby (15%) • Preferred country of origin: Chinese online shoppers prefer to buy from companies in Japan (72%), South Korea (60%), the US (55%), Australia (37%), France and Germany (both 26%) and the UK (23%) • Gender differences: Women spend US$976 on average per year, 20% more than men. Men seek fast delivery; women seek Chinese language customer support, and relevant content on the supplier’s website. Women are more likely to use an overseas supplier’s standalone direct-to-consumer website (21% vs. 18% of men).

Factors influencing cross-border purchases include Chinese consumers’ expectations of a range of payment options and efficient website performance for a seamless customer experience.

Among retailers, only 37% currently feel satisfied with their online sales in China using a global e-commerce vendor, 31% feel satisfied with their standalone online store and 21% feel satisfied with sales through online marketplaces, such as those owned by Chinese giants Alibaba and JD.com. Marketplaces’ crowding, intense

ILLINOIS – With a well-documented story of

Don Zhao, Co-founder & CEO of Azoya

price competition, margin-eroding commissions and high upfront costs have led more foreign retailers to create standalone Chinese websites to gain direct customer access, greater control and higher net margins.

As a result, retailers are looking beyond marketplaces as their only approach to consider, especially if these companies have a long-term sales strategy in China. “To build a brand that Chinese consumers trust, which commands a healthy profit margin and repeat buyers, retailers need to approach customers through multiple touchpoints.

The key channel should be within retailers’ control, accompanied by supplementary platforms,” said Don Zhao, Co-Founder of Azoya International. “More and more retailers are establishing standalone websites as the core of their strategies, as these sites directly connect retailers with Chinese consumers who desire foreign brands, while empowering retailers with flexibility and control over their business.”

To succeed in China, the report suggests international retailers should focus on basic e-commerce capabilities, including efficient digital marketing, local logistics networks, a range of payment options, Chinese language customer service and content. In addition, retailers need a robust social media strategy, including partnerships with influencers or key opinion leaders (KOLs), and understanding market trends to reach and engage Chinese consumers.

critical labor shortages across the country and especially in the Midwest, a new report focuses on the tens of thousands of young people in Illinois, not just young Black and Hispanic males in the state’s inner cities metropolitan areas, but also white youths in the state’s rural western and southern areas, who are out of school and out of work, and who, with an adequate investment of public funds, have the potential to fill those vacant positions.

The report, Industrial Restructuring and the Continuing Impact on Youth Employment in Illinois, which breaks down in detail out-of-work and out-of-school and out-of-work numbers for Illinois young people ages 16-24, was released at a May 14 news conference. Researched and written by the Great Cities Institute at the University of Illinois at Chicago (GCI), it is the latest in a series of studies commissioned by the Alternative Schools Network (ASN) and the first to drill down into the situation young people, not just those in metropolitan Chicago but across the state, are experiencing as they search for ways to support themselves.

The report finds the tragic and continuing repression of African-American communities that leaves young black males worse off than all of their contemporaries, even though their employment situation in Chicago and Cook County has improved in the last couple of years.

And, as roiling policy debates over immigration occur, the situation for Chicago’s young Hispanic or Latino youths, especially females, has gotten worse.

“We have not had a comprehensive youth employment program at the federal level in nearly two decades,” said U.S. Rep. Danny Davis, D-IL-7. “With the economy booming and employers looking for more workers than they can find, now is the time to bring those programs back. It would be a key piece of the anti-violence puzzle in our communities and it would help the economy grow.”

“Although racial disparities continue to be a profound factor, it is also the case that white residents of mid-size cities and rural areas in part of Illinois are severely affected,” the report’s authors say in the conclusion section. “Given the trends that we have described, we are likely to see exacerbated inequality and disparities in wealth, along with the associated social ills, that will extend far into the future if there are not interventions that reverse the trends.”

Classic Hip Hop Lives Bring Golden Era Artists To Chicago

For the last year Knowledge Beckom (pictured), founder of Classic Hip Hop Lives, has been producing hip-hop shows in Chicago that feature performances from golden era hip-hop artists. Most recently, Beckom brought Raekwon, rapper and member of the Wu-Tang Clan, to the Promontory in Hyde Park to perform his classic music with a live band.

or the last year, Knowledge Beckom, founder of Classic Hip Hop Lives, has been producing hip-hop shows in Chicago that feature performances from golden era hip-hop artists. Most recently, Beckom brought Raekwon, rapper and member of the Wu-Tang Clan, to the Promontory in Hyde Park to perform his classic music with a live band.

“I’m a native of Chicago and a fan of golden era, or 90’s, hip-hop music. I grew up on that music and as I started to get a bit older, I just thought it was more difficult to find the hip-hop that I grew up on and loved,” said Beckom. “I knew I could not be the only one that felt like this and felt like something was missing, so I set a charter to create and build a platform that brought these golden era hip-hop artists back to the forefront.”

When searching for hip-hop artists to bring in, Beckom looks for artists that have a decent following in Chicago and reflect the golden era of hip-hop that he loves so much.

“One of the most well-known hip-

hop groups ever was Wu-Tang Clan and Raekwon has always been one of the prominent members. We wanted to connect with him because it’s an elevation of our brand plus we know that Chicago is the second largest market in the U.S. in regards to Wu-

Tang fans, so we knew that it would be well attended and people would be interested,” said Beckom.

Although many of the artists that Beckom brings to town have been touring and performing for decades, he has found a way to create a truly unique experience at his show.

“We do focus on golden era hiphop artists and often times these are folks that have been doing music and doing live shows for 20-30 years,so there is a great chance that our audience has seen them before. To make sure that our show is unique and to create a different experience we incorporate the live band. It is a four piece band, we do drums, keys, bass, and guitar,” said Beckom.

Not only does the audience love it, but Beckom said that the artists find it to be a unique experience as well.

“One of the joys for me in putting these shows together is that you have these iconic and historic artists, but this is the first time they have ever performed with a live band. To hear groups like EPMD say, ‘we’ve never done this before, we’ve never done 14 songs with a live band’ and they’ve been performing since 1988,” said Beckom.

Classic Hip Hop Lives is a new organization with big plans. Beckom said he hopes to grow the brand internationally and someday build a philanthropic arm as a way to give back. To see upcoming shows visit www.classichiphoplives.snappages. site.

exhibit, Kizuna 7: Past the Devastation and Toward the Future is on display now through May 26, 2018 in the 3rd Floor Exhibit Gallery of the Harold Washington Library Center. Kizuna, the Japanese word for “bonds” or “connections” between people, is a singularly appropriate word to describe these images.

Twenty-seven panels of photographs and text are the result of interviews with individuals directly affected by events in Japan’s Tohoku region: an earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster.

Alan Labb, photographer, professor and curator of this exhibition, was instrumental in documenting relief efforts and services in the wake of the disaster. These photographs were taken during his travels to the affected areas in the summer and fall of 2017.

This exhibition is sponsored by several Japanese organizations, including the Consulate-General of Japan in Chicago and Chicago-Osaka Sister Cities.

Alan Labb will present an interactive lecture and slideshow of photographs on Thursday, May 17, 2018 at 6 p.m.
