Upcoming Housing Resource Fair on the South Side Continued from page 1 BY: KATHERINE NEWMAN

.S. Representative Bobby Rush is hosting a Housing Resource Fair on April 7 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Kroc Center, 1250 W. 119th St. The free event will kick off with thirty minutes of presentations from two guest speakers and then transition into an opportunity for one-onone attention from the 18 vendors that will have tables at the event.

The need for a housing fair stems from the 2008 financial crisis that hit hard in the housing market. Several areas of the South and West sides of Chicago never recovered and now Chicago is leading the country in homeowners who now owe more on their mortgages than what their house is worth, according to a representative from Congressman Rush’s office.

The Congressman is attempting to address these issues by bringing all the available resources under one roof to share how they can help and give constituents the opportunity to ask questions and find the opportunities and organizations that best meet their needs.

“If you are living in Chicagoland and are struggling to pay your monthly mortgage, facing foreclosure, need down payment assistance to purchase your first home or any number of housing concerns, then this event will be a critical resource for you,” said Rush. “There will be a variety of agencies who will be able to guide people to available resources and help ease the concerns of individuals who are trying to keep their head above water or become new homeowners.”

Speakers at the event will be Megan Moore, Special Advisor for the Federal Housing Finance Agency, and Berenice Martinez, Community Outreach Liaison-Latino Affairs with the Office of the Illinois Attorney General. Moore will speak about the housing market and what is going on in the first district and Martinez will be speaking about avoiding fraudulent programs that people who are struggling with paying their mortgage become vulnerable to.

After the speakers have finished, the fair will begin with the 18 vendors who will be in attendance to work with constituents.

Vendors include financial institutions, home energy agencies, government agencies, and non-profit housing agencies.

Anyone in the district can benefit from the one-on-one

attention from these helpful organizations that will be present at the housing fair. Rush represents Illinois’s first district where there is a lot of need and eligibility for assistance, according to a representative from Congressman Rush’s office.

It is expected that somewhere between 200 and 300 people will attend the upcoming event but they are prepared to host up to 400 people at a time during the day, a representative from Congressman Rush’s office informed.

Eighth Ward Alderman Pushes For New Senior Residences BY: KATHERINE NEWMAN

A

lderman of Chicago’s eighth ward, Michelle Harris, has proposed construction on Montclare Senior Residences of Calumet Heights, a senior residence home set to be built at the corner of 94th Street and Stony Island Avenue.

The $38 million project will build a seven-story building on three out of the five acres of vacant land that currently www.thechicagocitizen.com

occupy that corner. The other two acres are being looked at for restaurant and retail space.

For two years, Harris has been working on securing funding for this project that will provide 101 onebedroom and 34 two-bedroom units to people who are at least 62-years-old, according to a press release from the office of Alderman Harris.

“Senior housing is a need, the eighth ward is an aging community. I represent

people who are retiring every day and I’m getting calls from all over the ward of people wanting to be put on the waiting list for a two-bedroom unit in the new building,” said Harris.

The project is subsidized by CHA but is not a CHA housing complex.

This means that some of the units will be available with the Property Rental Assistance (PRA) program. Households Continued on page 9

Common, Danny Glover, Andrew Young, Dr. Bernice King, Martin Luther King III, Civil Rights, Labor and Faith Leaders Launch “I AM 2018” Movement in Memphis MEMPHIS, TN - As the nation

grapples with deep racial and economic injustices and inequality in communities from coast to coast, the American Federation of State County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) and Church of God in Christ (COGIC) recently launched a national effort to ensure that the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the 1968 Memphis sanitation strikers live on with a new generation of activists. With the goal of advancing labor and civil rights and tackling issues plaguing low-income communities nationwide, the I AM 2018 campaign is transforming Memphis into the birthplace of a new political movement and aggressive voter education and civic engagement program to mobilize turnout for the 2018 elections and beyond. The campaign was launched on April 2 and is continuing today on April 4.

Dr. King was assassinated on April 4, 1968. Fifty years to the day of his assassination- the country’s most prominent civil rights, faith, labor, entertainment and other leaders are holding the first-of-itskind trainings, mobilization and commemoration activities across the city, including at Mason Temple COGIC, the site of Dr. King’s final, prophetic “I’ve been to the Mountaintop” speech.

Alongside these trainings, prominent journalists, academics, community leaders and subject experts are joining a three-day Mountaintop Conference featuring panels on criminal justice reform, minority youth education, the future of American workers and the intersection of labor, faith and civil rights.

“I AM 2018 isn’t just a reflection on the past; it’s a call to action for the future. Dr. King and the Memphis strikers knew that you can’t achieve economic justice without racial justice,” said AFSCME President Lee Saunders.

“And yet, 50 years after Dr. King›s Mountaintop speech, working people are still fighting those same fights. We›re embarking on a historic partnership with COGIC to build and grow a network of trained, energized activists, connecting our generation›s struggles with the unfinished work of the heroes of Memphis: Dr. King, the Memphis strikers and the faith

leaders who stepped up together to bend the moral arc of the universe towards justice.

“On the evening of April 3, 1968, Dr. King stood in the pulpit of Mason Temple and declared ‘We, as a people, will get to the promised land.’ Less than 24 hours later, he was killed on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel. This year marks the 50th anniversary of that watershed moment,” said COGIC Presiding Bishop Charles E. Blake Sr. “In April, together with AFSCME, we are telling the world that it must come together to fight poverty and prejudice and advance the freedom of all people as we never have before.”

“I AM 2018” events in Memphis began on April 2 -4 and include(d): April 2 & 3 - Dream Corp Activist Training, @Mason Temple, 930 Mason St. April 2 - Mountaintop Conference Day 1 @Mason Temple: Opening remarks were made by COGIC Bishop Charles Blake, Sr. and AFSCME President Lee Saunders.

Over the past few weeks, activists, elected officials, students, workers and other leaders in the “I AM 2018” campaign have been organizing and building support for their work this year and beyond.

On February 1, more than 70 cities observed a coordinated Moment of Silence to honor Memphis

sanitation workers Echol Cole and Robert Walker who were crushed to death in 1968 and sparked the strike of 1,300 fellow workers that brought Dr. King to Memphis.

On February 24, two days before the Supreme Court heard oral arguments on a case that could threaten workers’ rights, thousands of working people, civil rights, labor leaders and families flooded the streets of every major city to demand freedom from want and hate and call for the U.S. to unrig its broken political and economic systems. Since then, college students and other young filmmakers have been submitting videos that connect Dr. King’s fight for justice to today’s movements for social change. The winning submissions, judged by Hans Charles, Dorian Parks, co-founder of Geeks of Color, and award-winning filmmakers Madeleine Hunt Erlich and Shahin Izadi were screened at Mason Temple on April 3rd.

GoLookUp Will Now Allow Users to Search for Unclaimed Money O RF and Microwave Power Amplifier Accessories.

Fairview Microwave Launches New Line of RF and Microwave Power Amplifier Accessories

F

airview Microwave Inc., a leading provider of ondemand RF and microwave components, has introduced a new family of RF and microwave power amplifier accessories that includes heat sinks, heat sinks with cooling fans and power control cable assemblies. The heat sinks in this line are ideal for thermal management of power amplifiers that can generate excessive levels of heat. These heat sinks are able to enhance heat dissipation from a power amplifier to ensure the internal circuit assembly does not overheat and optimum performance and reliability is maintained.

Fairview’s new product line includes eight different heat sink models that feature finned extrusion profiles with large baseplate mounting surfaces and AC or DC power supply options for models with integrated cooling fans. Most models include thermal mounting gaskets for optimal thermal flow. Some of the models are designated for general purpose usage and others are configured for select power amplifier models. The general-purpose heat sink models (FMAMC5013 and FMAMC5022) can be used for all Fairview power amplifiers where a heat sink is recommended, typically one watt and greater. This series also includes four power control cable assemblies that are configured for select power amplifier models

ver the past few years, people have become more aware of their financial status due to many of the banking and money services moving to apps and websites. Alongside the day-to-day financial matters, there are also long-lasting matters that people are unaware of, such as unclaimed money that is rightfully theirs.

GoLookUp’s Unclaimed Money search directory will now allow users to search for money they have forgotten about in order to claim it back.

ABANDONED MONEY IN THE UNITED STATES The term Abandoned Money was coined in relation to money that people essentially left behind and forgot about. As of today, there are nearly $60 billion of unclaimed and abandoned money that people all across the U.S. can claim back at any time.

The money is found in old bank accounts, pension funds, tax refunds, savings bonds and many other places across America. According to the law, the authorities that hold the unclaimed money cannot use it, meaning its rightful owners can claim it back at any time.

Searching for unclaimed money

Lucky2Media

requires searching for it in public records in every state that its owners lived in, which is timeconsuming. GoLookUp’s unclaimed money search saves valuable time by scanning billions of public records in search of the funds and providing a report about them in a matter of minutes.

The directory requires the first name, last name and state in which the user wishes to search for the money, and after the relevant information is provided, the system conducts a background check in search of the money.

The directory also allows users

to combine a people search along with the unclaimed money search in order to seek long-lost relatives and discover if they have abandoned money as well. The people search can also be conducted by a reverse phone lookup that lets the users search for their relatives, living or deceased, and find out if they are entitled to money or estates.

With nearly $60 billion in unclaimed money, many people in the U.S. are entitled to funds they are unaware of. GoLookUp’s unclaimed money search lets users find money they are entitled to and claim it back at any time.

Follow the Money: New Website Makes it Easier to Track Illinois Investments SPRINGFIELD, IL – An interactive

website that details how Illinois invests taxpayer money, manages state debt, and tracks bond ratings is part of an ongoing effort to increase transparency and accountability in Illinois finances, Illinois State Treasurer Michael Frerichs said recently.

The Vault, a new online open data portal, provides details on the treasury’s $25 billion investment portfolio. It also includes historical data on banking and business activities. The information is presented so that users can easily compare, click through, filter and expand charts, tables, and graphs. www.chicagocitizen.com

Data also can be shared directly to social media or exported to allow for investment comparisons.

“Too many people do not trust our state government. That needs to change,” Frerichs said. “Providing information in a format that is easy to use, understand and compare is a step we can take to repair the damaged relationship Illinois government has with its residents.”

Available at www.

ILTreasurerVault.com, The Vault presents data on investment assets and earnings, tracks bond ratings related to tax-backed loans and shows the treasury’s business transactions with firms based

in Illinois and firms owned by minorities, women, Veterans, or persons with a disability.

“We want the public to have the tools to follow the money,” Frerichs added. “This interactive website will make it easier to see how the treasury invests taxpayer dollars and how the state manages its debt.”

Research firms, investment houses, and companies that wish to do business with the treasury are expected to be early users of the data, as well as taxpayers interested in state investment and banking activity.

Daily updates to The Vault are possible, although monthly updates are more likely.

(NAPSI)—When Mother Nature sends enough rough weather to make it tough to keep skin smooth, the good news is she also created a way to soften it up again. Notably, honey and other products you may already have right in your own kitchen.

WHY SAVE THE SKIN YOU’RE IN Skin is the body’s largest organ. It protects the other organs, makes you sensitive to touch and literally keeps you from evaporating. If it’s itchy, dry and cracked, it can affect your health and happiness.

Fortunately, honey is a pure, botanical product at an economical price point.

It’s a natural humectant, meaning it takes moisture from the air and traps it.

These healing, moisturizing qualities are why many expensive cosmetics contain premium honey. Raw honey is even used to help treat wounds and prevent scarring and it encourages growth of new tissues while hydrating skin. Honey naturally leaves skin soft and supple. It also fights off bad bacteria, tightens pores, protects skin from sun damage, and moisturizes.

DRY SKIN REMEDY RECIPES Here are two simple ways Aunt Sue’s Raw & Unfiltered Honey can help your skin feel more supple.

AUNT SUE’S DRY SKIN REMEDY

This soothing, dry-skin solution is easy and effective, taking only minutes to make with three simple ingredients.

• 1 tablespoon Aunt Sue’s Raw & Unfiltered Honey • 1 teaspoon olive oil • Juice from ½ a lemon Mix honey, olive oil and lemon juice in

When your skin feels rough and raw, a lotion made with raw honey can soothe and smooth it again.

a bowl. Apply lotion to dry areas and let sit for 20 minutes. Wipe off with a warm washcloth. Repeat as needed.

HOMEMADE HONEY HAND BALM

Easy to make, this hand balm does wonders for dry skin and can be used as a lotion, hair conditioner or cuticle cream, as well.

• ½ cup coconut oil • ¼ cup almond oil • 5 tablespoons beeswax pastilles • 1 tablespoon shea butter • 1½ tablespoons Aunt Sue’s Raw & Unfiltered Honey • 10−20 drops of lavender oil • 8-ounce glass jar, or several small tins with lids

Combine all ingredients except the honey and lavender oil into a microwavesafe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals for two minutes or until all ingredients have melted. Mix in the honey and lavender oil and immediately pour into the jar. Let cool to room temperature. To reach desired texture, melt the balm again and add or remove beeswax or lavender oil.

Aunt Sue’s Raw & Unfiltered Honey is pure, U.S. honey, produced by the Sioux Honey Association Co-op, representing 275-plus independent beekeepers and nearly 100 years of honey-producing experience.

Snoop Dogg’s Highly Anticipated Gospel Album, Bible Of Love, Available Everywhere

Weekly inspirations

NASHVILLE, TN - Iconic artist and entertainer, Snoop

Dogg, recently released his first gospel album, the much anticipated, Bible of Love (All The Time Entertainment / RCA Inspiration). The project, which was a labor of love for Snoop, is his 16th album and marks the first release from his new imprint, All The Time Entertainment.

Throughout Snoop’s 25-plus year career, he has been a trailblazer and his body of work showcases both his diversity as an artist and willingness to try new things. While performing and producing gospel music is something new for Snoop, the music itself has always been very close to his heart. His late grandmother, Dorothy Tate, first introduced him to gospel as a child and inspired him to create a gospel album. And he felt that now was precisely the right time. Snoop said, “As the country is in one of its heaviest times and is so divided, I wanted to make an album that spreads love and unity around the world.”

A 32-track double album, Bible of Love features performances

by Snoop and an all-star lineup of artists handpicked by him and its co-executive producer, Lonny Bereal, who also performs on the record. The guest artists, who are among Snoop’s all-time favorites, include Charlie Wilson, Rance Allen, Kim Burrell, Isaac Carree, The Clark Sisters, Dazz Dillinger, Faith Evans, K-Ci, John P. Kee, Patti LaBelle, Mali Music, Jazze Pha, Marvin Sapp, B. Slade, and Tye Tribbett.

In addition to Bible of Love, Snoop will be releasing more music through All The Time Entertainment, which he

Matthew 5:6 - Blessed [are] they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

First, find a jar. Leave the jar clear or decorate it if you choose to. Get three pieces of paper and write one thing on each piece of paper that you are grateful for today. Repeat this every day until the jar is full. Review the notes periodically (especially when you need a quick pick me- up) to remind yourself of what is good in your life.

TIP #2: SEND THANK-YOU NOTES While there are multiple factors that contribute to your happiness, research has shown that you can choose to be happy by fostering such positive emotions as empathy and gratitude. One way to increase your happiness is to show appreciation toward other people. Try writing thank-you notes.

It’s a great way of letting people know that they matter to you. It is also a great way to start the process of reciprocity.

TIP #3: NOTICE OTHER PEOPLE’S HAPPINESS Another way of increasing your own happiness is to observe happiness in others. Research has shown that the best way for us to predict how much we will enjoy an experience is to see how much other people enjoyed it. When you notice other people’s happiness, you should join in and be happy too.

TIP #4: ELIMINATE TOXIC PEOPLE There is no good reason to put up with people saying or doing things that are unkind to you. You should avoid people who are mean or negative. If they make you unhappy you should eliminate them from your life.

IU Writers’ Conference brings award-winning authors, poets to Bloomington campus

W

riters from across the county will travel to Indiana University Bloomington this summer to participate in the 78th annual IU Writers’ Conference. The conference, which is open to writers at any level -- from the hobbyist to the professional -- will feature a number of diverse and award-winning authors, poets and essayists.

“Since 1940, this conference has brought together some of the nation’s most prominent and up-and-coming writers to share their knowledge and craft with other writers,” said Bob Bledsoe, director of the conference.

“Being able to learn first-hand from writers at this level through workshops and classes is something our attendees have the unique opportunity to do throughout the conference.”

The conference will offer workshops in fiction, poetry and creative nonfiction, and classes in fiction,

cartooning, crime fiction and poetry.

In addition, participants can take part in a reading series and faculty panel discussions.

Headlining the conference will be authors Ada Limón, Matthew Klam and IU alumnus Kiese Laymon, who will each host a workshop focused on their writing style.

“Intensive writing workshops are the most inspiring and effective creative experiences I’ve ever been part of,” Klam said. “There’s something profound that happens in a concentrated period of days that’s entirely different from, say, a class that meets once or twice a week.

“I led a workshop at the Indiana University Writers’ Conference a few years ago, and the people who showed up there, the students and faculty, were on a really high level.

Indiana is a perfect example of this kind of experience, where you have breakthroughs and epiphanies, and

MATTHEW KLAM

lead a workshop on fiction. Limón, author of five books of poetry, will lead conference attendees through a workshop on poetry.

Laymon, who earned an MFA in fiction from IU, is now a professor of English and African-American studies at the University of Mississippi, and a distinguished visiting professor of nonfiction at the University of Iowa.

Chicago Public Library To Commemorate The Life Of Mayor Harold Washington

C

hicago Public Library will host a program to discuss the new documentary film Or titled Punch 9--Harold Washington an ge Li nefor Chicago at Harold Washington st at Library. The program will take place at 6 pm on Monday, April 16 in the Cindy Pritzker Auditorium.

A group of middle school students from Whitney M. Young Magnet High School’s Academic Center have produced a ten-minute History Fair film on Harold Washington.

The program will begin with a showing of their film and a very brief discussion with the students before transitioning into the main program.

The main program includes a showing of the Punch 9 trailer and a Line Orange panel of Punch 9’s production team discussing the process and progress of their documentary project.

“Mayor Harold Washington was a trailblazer and a visionary, and his legacy lives on not only across the Chicago streets, schools, and parks that bear his name, but in the inspiration and idealism he instilled in generations of Chicagoans,” said Mayor Rahm Emanuel. “I want to

thank both these young students and the adults for producing these great documentaries, and recognizing a leader who proudly fought for justice, equity and a brighter future for every resident in every community in Chicago.”

Harold Washington made history in 1983 when he was elected as the first African American Mayor in Chicago. He challenged the status quo in City Hall, which many didn’t agree with. He faced many challengers along the way, but his strong resilience and optimism eventually led him to the role of Mayor. The documentary will showcase various aspects of Washington’s political journey including the battles he had to fight and his lasting influence.

The event is presented in commemoration of the legacy of Mayor Harold Washington and in partnership with the Mayor Harold Washington Legacy Committee, The HistoryMakers, Chicago Urban League and local scholars. For more information, please visit www. chipublib.bibliocommons.com.

Eighth Ward Alderman Pushes For New Senior Residences Continued from page 2 that benefit from PRA meet a low-income requirement and pay 30 percent of their income towards rental expenses. Of the 134 units in the proposed development, 30 are set to get PRA, according to the press release and Alderman Harris.

“This is a senior building and the PRA is a way to help seniors with very low income to have a great place to live and be in a wonderful environment,” said Harris.

There has been a slight pushback from what Harris says is a small group of people in the eight ward.

This group is against the housing project and even went as far as to create an online petition titled ‘Don’t Build A 7-Story Low-Income Complex Next to Our Single-Family Homes!!’ The petition states six reasons why construction should not begin on this project. The reasons address concerns about traffic, safety,

noise, property values, a lack of transparency and community input, the character of the community, and economic development.

“The people that are pushing back are doing it, not because it isn’t a great project because it’s a fabulous project, they are pushing back simply because they do not support me. It’s political,” said Harris. “Across the ward, this project has a fabulous amount of support. I’m getting great response and feedback from everybody except for the small group of people who don’t support me politically.”

Along with the Montclare Senior Residences, Huddle House is preparing to build a new restaurant on the vacant land. Huddle House is a popular southern-style diner known for serving ‘round-the-clock’ breakfast, according to their website.

Harris said she thinks Huddle House will be up and running before the senior residences are complete.

America Is Seeing A Flood Of ‘Flood Cars’ (NAPSI)—Recent research suggests drivers may be behind the wheel of more than 325,000 previously flooded vehicles.

That’s a 20 percent increase from 2016 and a stark reminder to consumers to do due diligence when used-car shopping.

ONE WOMAN’S STORY “I bought a car last year and the seller never told us anything about it being a flood car,” said Charlene Geiger from Pennsylvania. “When we got home and ran a Carfax, there it was—a flood car from Hurricane Sandy. It showed that the seller bought it as a salvage car and the title was washed when he brought it to Pennsylvania. We lost $16,000 over all of it.”

WHERE TO BE MOST WARY Vehicles reported as flood damaged by a state’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), insurance companies and more have washed up in every state.

These 10 have the most:

1. Texas—51,000 2. Louisiana—29,000 3. Pennsylvania—20,000 4. Florida—19,000 5. Kentucky—16,000 6. Illinois—15,000 7. South Carolina—13,000 8. Virginia—13,000 9. North Carolina—13,000 10. Michigan—11,000.

In addition, several hundred thousand more flooded cars may emerge from Hurricanes Harvey and Irma.

Historically, about half the vehicles damaged by floods end up back on the market. Flooded cars rot from the inside out as water corrodes the mechanical parts, shorts the electrical system, and compromises safety features like air bags and anti-lock brakes.

Health concerns are an added problem, as mold and bacteria permeate the soft parts of the car.

“Our data shows there’s still much work to be done in helping consumers avoid buying flooddamaged cars,” said Dick Raines, president of Carfax. “They can, and do, show up all over the country, whether it be a few miles or hundreds of miles from where the flooding occurred. With two devastating storms like Harvey and Irma, it’s vital for used-car buyers everywhere to protect themselves from flooded cars that may wind up for sale. Start with a thorough test-drive, a vehicle history report and a mechanic’s inspection before buying any used car.”

FREE ASSISTANCE AND ADVICE With the world’s largest vehicle history database, Carfax helps millions confidently buy, own and sell used cars. Now, in the wake of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, it’s letting consumers check for flood damage free of charge at www. carfax.com/flood.

Everyone Loves To Love Donna Summer O n April 20, Island Def Jam/ UMe is set to properly fete Donna Summer, the undisputed Queen of Disco and The First Lady of Love, with Summer: The Original Hits. This catchy collection of Summer’s greatest hits is a companion to Summer: The Donna Summer Musical, an exciting new Broadway musical based on her rich and storied life. Previews for Summer: The Donna Summer Musical commenced on March 28, 2018, at the legendary Lunt-Fontanne Theatre in New York City with the official opening on April 23, 2018.

Donna Summer was born in Boston on New Year’s Eve, 1948. She embraced the core tenets of gospel as a young singer while cutting her teeth with a local rock band and in European musicals, developing an individual vocal élan that also married the best elements of Rock, R&B, and Disco. Her signature style is on full display on The Original Hits in such iconic tracks as forever-seductive “Love To Love You Baby,” the defiantly declarative “Bad Girls,” the MTV-era female-empowerment anthem “She Works Hard For The Money,” the fiery dance/rock mesh of “Hot Stuff,” and the urgent ballad-to-crescendo disco blend of “Last Dance.”

Giorgio Moroder, her frequent collaborator, legendary Italian electronic-music pioneer and producer who partnered with Pete Bellotte, instantly recognized

Summer’s vocal prowess — and how to maximize her performance in the studio. When Moroder heard Richard Harris’s dramatic version of Jimmy Webb’s lost-love lament “MacArthur Park” on the radio while driving on the Hollywood Freeway, he knew who had to sing it for him in an innovative arrangement. “Even before I recorded it, I knew it would be perfect for her voice,” Moroder confirmed.

Summer, the producer continued, had an uncanny knack for conveying unbridled emotion over studiodriven technology. “She humanized the machines,” Moroder said, citing the groundbreaking and highly influential “I Feel Love” as the key “legacy track” of their many years of fruitful collaboration. “That song is a combination of mechanical instruments and Donna’s beautiful, romantic voice. It was obviously great to work with a great artist like Donna.”

Summer’s influential work is given a fresh, respectful update with two rare remixes headed by renowned Grammy®-nominated remix producer Ralphi Rosario: “MacArthur Park (Rosabel’s Radio Mix),” a No. 1 Dance hit in 2013, and “Hot Stuff,” a new rework in collaboration with Erick Ibiza, that debuts on this collection.

Another rarity on the collection is Summer’s German-language rendition of “White Boys” that she recorded while in the German cast of Hair.

DONNA SUMMER SUMMER: THE ORIGINAL HITS [CD & DIGITAL DELUXE VERSION]

I Feel Love

Love To Love You Baby I Remember Yesterday On My Honor White Boys – From “Haare (Hair)” Faster And Faster To Nowhere MacArthur Park Heaven Knows – With Brooklyn Dreams No More Tears (Enough Is Enough) – Duet With Barbra Streisand Pandora’s Box On The Radio I Love You Bad Girls She Works Hard For The Money Everyone Loves To Love Donna Summer soundtrack companion to the original dance floor diva’s biographical Broadway musical features all of her influential, chart topping tracks, via a new Island Def Jam/UMe collection on April 20.

Even though Summer sadly passed away in 2012, her cultural impact and sonic legacy carries ever onward, and she garnered a well-deserved posthumous induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2013. If you’re lookin’ for some hot stuff to listen to this evening, look no further than Summer: The Original Hits.

The Black Media Story Summit Seeks To Pipeline Black Stories NEW YORK - The nation’s only nonprofit

dedicated solely to media content about the black experience is convening a gathering of U.S. black creatives together with media technologists, funders, investors and distributors to get strategic about forwarding black content in the U.S. Black Public Media (BPM) is bringing key players together for the Black Media Story Summit in an effort to pipeline the stories on the issues most crucial to black people in troubled times and to develop strategies to get black creatives fully engaged in emerging media. Sponsored by the MacArthur Foundation, Google and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting with additional funding provided by Wyncote Foundation and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, the Black Media Story Summit will be held on April 6 at Google’s New York City offices.

The invitation-only event will bring black thought leaders in such pressing areas as mass incarceration, the environment, health and immigration together with filmmakers and producers and those who can help move key content to market. Executives from American

Public Television, the ARRAY Alliance, BBC America, BET, Corporation for Public Broadcasting, Imagination Capital, kweliTV, Ford Foundation, the MacArthur Foundation, New York State Council on the Arts, NYC Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment, the Open Society Foundations, PBS, POV Digital, the Producers Guild of America, Silicon Harlem, the Southern Documentary Fund, Sundance Institute, Third World Newsreel, TV One, WNET, and more, will attend.

The event will have a session on virtual reality with Erin Teague of YouTube and Guy Primus of the Virtual Reality Company.

Filmmakers, producers and writers of note

confirmed to attend include Lisa Cortes (Precious and Monster’s Ball), Yance Ford (Strong Island), Thomas Allen Harris (Through a Lens Darkly: Black Photographers and the Emergence of a People), Shola Lynch (Free Angela & All Political Prisoners), Stanley Nelson (Tell Them We Are Rising and Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution), and Shukree Hassan Tilghman (This Is Us), among others.

“Equity, access and inclusion remain the issues at large. So, while we stand by the incredible narrative and cultural changes that are rising to the surface, particularly in Hollywood, they can’t be solely centered in one area of the industry,” said Black Public Media’s Executive Director Leslie Fields-Cruz. “The outcry for equity, the commitment, the change, has to reach across platforms and all areas of media.”

Black Public Media, formerly the National Black Programming Consortium, has been producing and supporting media with a purpose since its founding in 1979. Known for its signature public television series AfroPoP:

www.chicagocitizen.com

The Ultimate Cultural Exchange and web series Black Folk Don’t, the national organization is also a funder of films and content (such as I Am Not Your Negro, Maya Angelou: And Still I Rise and Lorraine Hansberry: Sighted Eyes/ Feeling Heart and web series (Pops and Ask a Muslim) and trainer of producers (with its 360 Incubator + Fund).

The Black Media Story Summit is a part of BPM’s new initiative WOKE! Broadening Access to Black Public Media, a series of projects and events designed to connect creatives working with new technologies and platforms to funding, resources, partners and distribution opportunities. WOKE! includes a new BPM funding initiative sponsored by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation’s Journalism and Media program specifically for emerging media, with the goal to usher forth black talent and black content into an industry that overwhelmingly lacks diversity.
