COMMENTARY

Today Alabama Chooses Between Its Past and Its Future

By Jesse Jackson, National Writer

“

The state of Alabama deserves better,” said Richard Shelby, the senior U.S. senator from Alabama, in explaining why he chose not to vote for Roy Moore, his party’s nominee in Alabama’s special election for the Senate today.

Contrast that with the statement of another prominent Alabama Republican, Gov. Kay Ivey, who said she would vote for Moore even though she “certainly (has) no reason to disbelieve any of them,” referring to the charges made by several women that Moore preyed on them when they were teenagers, one as young as 14.

Today, Alabama voters will decide between Moore -- a minstrel of hate, who trumpets nativism, slanders immigrants and sows racist and sexist discord -- and Democratic candidate Doug Jones, a moderate lawyer known mostly for prosecuting the killers of the four little girls in the Birmingham church bombing in 1963.

The choice is really one between Alabama’s past and its future. Shelby gets this.

A rock ribbed Southern Republican, he is no liberal. He’s worked together with Judge Moore in the past. Both want tougher immigration rules and weaker gun laws. Both

POLITICAL

D

oug Jones defeated Roy Moore in Tuesday’s Alabama Senate race with the overwhelming support of black women voters, 98 percent of whom cast their ballots for the Democrat. According to CNN’s exit polls, only 34 percent of white women voted for Jones, with 63 percent of that voter bloc offering their support to Moore instead. The Republican has been accused of pursuing inappropriate relationships with teen girls as an adult.

“Doug Jones would not have won today without the turnout we saw from African-American voters,” Symone Sanders, a Democratic strategist, told Newsweek.

“Black women have been absolutely clear in their support for Democratic policies and Democratic candidates. It’s high time for Democrats…to invest in that effort.”

Sanders said it was the grassroots, on-the-ground efforts of Jones’s African-American supporters that helped bring black voters to the ballot box on Tuesday and push him across the finish line. But if Democrats want to carry their 2017 successes into the 2018 midterms, they can’t count on black women alone to carry the party. “Black women have been attempting to save America since the dawn

are strictly anti-abortion. Both want to slash taxes on the rich and cut spending on the poor and add to it for the military.

Shelby, however, understands that there is a new Alabama struggling to be born, one seeking to make a transition to a high tech modern economy. GE is building a plant there. Mercedes-Benz has production there.

A major aerospace industry based on government contracts is growing in Huntsville.

None of this could happen without the end of segregation. None of it is likely to continue if Alabama chooses to embrace hate and division. If the new Alabama is to continue to grow, it needs better schools. It needs to educate and attract well-trained workers. It needs to compete with other states to attract companies.

As Shelby put it to the Washington Post: “Image, reputation. Is this a good place to live, or is it so controversial that we wouldn’t go there? You know, these companies are looking to invest.

They are looking for a good place to live, a good place to do business, a good education system, opportunities, transportation.

And we have come a long way; we’ve got to keep going. ... We can’t live in the past.”

Judge Moore rails against the new Alabama, issuing apocalyptic slanders about immigrants and Muslims. When asked by an African-American when he thought America was last great, Moore invoked the era of slavery: “I think it was great at the time when families were united -- even though we had slavery. They cared for one another. ... Our families were strong, our country had a direction.”

This revisionist history is distilled racism.

In reality, slaves had their children ripped from them; families were purposefully torn apart. Rape, beatings and brutality were commonplace. It took the Civil War, the bloodiest of all our wars, to end slavery.

Moore’s statement isn’t just inaccurate. It is an insult to the “Christian values” that he supposedly champions.

Sadly impervious to this is Donald Trump, who has loudly endorsed Moore, stumping for him in next door Florida and tweeting for Moore and against Jones: “LAST thing the Make America Great Again Agenda needs is a Liberal Democrat in Senate where we have so little margin for victory already.” Trump would trade basic decency for a vote in the Senate. Trump

traveled to Mississippi this week to join opening ceremonies of the new Mississippi Civil Rights Museum. There he claimed that he had long admired Dr. Martin Luther King, even as he spurned the opportunity to denounce Moore’s grotesque invocation of the slave era. That is a disgrace.

Trump sees Moore as a puppet, worth supporting despite all because he will be a vote in the Senate. Moore’s serious character deficit -- be it preying on teenagers or whitewashing slavery -- make no difference to the President.

How will Alabama vote? The result is far less about a single vote in the Senate, as Shelby has made clear, than a statement of how much or how little the new Alabama has changed. Trump has already failed the simple test of basic decency. Now Alabama voters will decide to look forward or look backward.

Doug Jones Won U.S. Senate Race in Alabama Because of Black Women Trying to “Save America” By Marie Solis via newsweek.com

of time,” Sanders said. “That doesn’t mean we should allow the fate of America to be laid at the feet of black women. It has to be a multicultural effort.”

Still, others couldn’t help but notice the poetic justice of a Democrat with an upstanding record on civil rights winning in deep-red Alabama. “It’s no coincidence that Selma, where blood was shed in the struggle for voting rights for Black people, pushed Doug Jones ahead for good,” Bernice King, Martin Luther King Jr.’s daughter, tweeted following Jones’s win. Selma, Alabama— the site of 1965’s “Bloody Sunday”—was one of the Democratic candidate’s strong spots with black voters.

The Jones camp had tried to leverage the candidate’s civil rights record to appeal to African-American voters in the state. When he served as a prosecutor, Jones was responsible for convicting members of the Ku Klux Klan who bombed a Birmingham, Alabama, Baptist church, killing four young girls.

“I’m very humbled and honored to have played a part in the civil rights saga, if you will, many years after the fact,” Jones said during a campaign rally in Montgomery, Alabama, another famous site for the civil rights movement.

Dec. 14 - Dec. 20, 2017 www.stylemagazine.com

Doug Jones “My mother married at 15 and married a man 14 years older than her,” a woman named Kay Day said during a November press conference for Moore. “In that day, if you married someone that was 15 years older, it was common.” Referring to the allegation against Moore, she added, “Even if it were so, that would not make me not vote for Judge Moore. That is just not something that would make me discredit and ruin a man for the rest of his life.”

even in the face of over a dozen allegations of sexual misconduct against him. There was also the audio recording of Trump bragging about grabbing women’s genitals without their consent. Every other demographic of American women overwhelmingly supported Hillary Clinton, including the 94 percent of black women who voted for the Democratic nominee, who would have been the country’s first woman president.

The disparity between black women’s and white women’s votes in Tuesday’s race was a familiar one to those who recall that 53 percent of white women voted for Donald Trump in the 2016 election—

Sanders said it was true in 2016, and it’s true now, more than a year later: “Black women have always been a force to be reckoned with. Democrats and the media are just now waking up to that.”

BRIEFS Mayor Sylvester Turner

City Exploring New Downtown Option for Homeless People [StyleMagazine.com Newswire]

T

he City of Houston, along with METRO and the Houston Recovery Center, is studying the feasibility of converting a downtown segment of METRO property into a small, temporary, outdoor, safe-space for homeless individuals. This potential pilot program would provide a safe and healthy environment while individuals work with area agencies on their permanent housing options. It would include professional management, 24-hour security and supportive services. The potential program is part of Mayor Sylvester Turner’s plan, announced in March, to increase innovative emergency shelter and permanent housing options for the homeless.

This year’s induction will also include a fellow black female trailblazer and revolutionary: guitarist and singer Sister Rosetta Tharpe— often known as the “godmother of rock and roll”—who arguably invented the medium and yet has also been embarrassingly absent from the annual honors. This honor for Nina Simone, who enjoyed international fame throughout her nearly half-century career before she died in 2003, is decades overdue. The singer, songwriter and virtuoso pianist has been eligible since 1986.

Report: Pay Is Rising for Houston’s African-American Residents [Austin Business Journal]

H

ouston’s African-American residents have high household incomes when compared with similar U.S. metros and that pay is rising, according to an examination of Census data by Forbes.

The report used median household income data of 51 metro areas from the U.S. Census’ American Community Survey from 2010 to 2016. The results show Houston joins 14 other cities, including major Texas metros Dallas, Austin and San Antonio, in “gaining ground” on median household income for African-American residents. Austin, in particular, stands out as the No. 2 city — behind Providence, Rhode Island — for African-American income growth between 2010 and 2016 with a 30.8 percent increase.

I can’t go in this establishment,” she said. The bar at the center of the controversy, JR’s Bar and Grill on Cedar Springs Road in Dallas, responded after receiving a wave of backlash. The eatery acknowledged Braxton was turned away, but did not elaborate as to why she was denied entry. “Our posted policies regarding entrance into JR’s Bar & Grill are to both ensure the safety of all our customers and to certify that our staff are in accordance with the law when serving alcohol-without exception,” JR’s Bar and Grill said in a statement released to NBC 5.

He was 99. As the escalating battle between civil rights activists and die-hard segregationists became the nation’s most gripping domestic story in the 1950s and ’60s, Mr. Booker traveled dangerous roads with Freedom Riders, marched with protesters and covered the major racial crises and personalities of the era. He began in the 1940s with black newspapers in Baltimore and Cleveland, and was The Post’s first full-time black reporter from 1952 to 1954, covering general news.

viral tweet has managed to save a Houston-area bakery from shutting its doors. Trinidad Garza has been baking since he was 12-years-old, he told ABC13. But after Hurricane Harvey, business at La Casa Bakery and Cafe had slowed. The 70-something-year-old man had opened up the restaurant two years ago and made it into a family business – employing his three sons, his wife and his daughter, who was disheartened to hear the news. In an effort to convince her dad to keep the business, the 18-year-old Jackie Garza took to Twitter and posted a video of her dad making pan dulce at the bakery.

Since her post, the tweet has gone viral with more than 48,000 likes, nearly 60,000 retweets and over 1.1 million views. And business has been booming ever since.

ouston-based Charming Charlie has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and will be closing 25 percent of its stores right after Christmas. The 374-store retailer of women’s accessories and apparel said it has started closing 97 stores. Only one of those locations is in North Texas, in Fort Worth’s Westover Village. Charming Charlie was founded in 2004 and expanded across the U.S. and into Canada, the Middle East and the Philippines. The company said in its bankruptcy filing that it “like many other retail and apparel-focused companies, has suffered as of late from adverse macro-trends, as well as certain operational shortfalls.” The shift from brick-and-mortar retail to online together with its merchandising miscalculations.

Exxon Mobil also made its first fuel shipments to Mexico last week, joining Chevron and other U.S. refiners seeking to supply one of the world’s largest markets, recently opened to foreign companies. Since Mexico deregulated its energy sector, international gas stations have begun popping up this year, ending the monopoly held for decades by state-owned oil company Petroleos Mexicanos, or Pemex. British oil major BP opened the first non-Pemex gas stations in Mexico this spring.

the Christmas Cookie Challenge

By Yolanda Pope, Culinary Writer

S

ince winning Season 11 of Food Network Star Chef Eddie Jackson has been busy with all things food. His latest endeavor comes with the premiere of Food Network’s Christmas Cookie Challenge. “In each episode, five daring cookie makers must prove their holiday skills through two rounds, as lead judge Ree Drummond, joined by a rotating panel of guest judges, including Kimberly Bailey, James Briscione, Damiano Carrara, Dan Langan, Jamika Pessoa, Jordan Pilarski, Aarti Sequeira and Joy Wilson, determine which baker will have the best Christmas ever, walking away with a $10,000 prize.”

We spoke briefly with Chef Jackson about his new opportunity; he let us know that he welcomes all opportunities to entertain the fans of the Food Network, and feels right a home with this show. Additionally, while his taste preference is more on the savory side, his favorite cookie is Oatmeal Raisin.

Also, he stated that he’s gotten so many ideas from the contestants who represent different regions of the United States.

In addition to being a Food Network Star,

Chef Jackson is also a former NFL player, a food truck owner, personal trainer and private chef. Furthermore, according to his bio, Chef Jackson is passionate about making “healthy food absolutely delicious.”

The show airs every Monday night at 9 p.m. Central time, each show has a theme beginning with Episode 1, called “Christmas Family Fun” and ends with Episode 7, on December 18th with “Crafty Christmas.” If you missed the show from the beginning, catch up online by going to foodnetwork. com. Finally, to learn more about Eddie Jackson check out his profile on the Food Network website. So far my favorite videos are from his series, Eddie’s Playbook. In these short videos, the viewers are treated to some of Jackson’s expertise on healthy eating, fitness, and meal preparation for game day while he shares his own recipes.

ENTERTAIMENT Rapper Chamillionaire Talks Tech Entrepreneurship with Houston Students

W

e know rapper Chamillionaire as a Grammy award-winning rapper but he is showing a different side these days as a tech entrepreneur.

In an assembly of Evan E. Worthing High School seniors, he told his story of rising to fame story and encouraged students to think of social media as more than fun and games but a platform on which to build a career.

Understanding the power of social media, Chamillionaire told students instead of just playing on popular apps that they could create their own to become entrepreneurs.

Helping to back his point Chamillionaire joined a panel that included Tuma Basa, head of Spotify; Shawn Gee, artist manager and president of Live Nation Urban; and Brittany Lewis, video programming manager at Spotify. Panelists spoke about entrepreneurship and careers in technology.

Chamillionaire’s tech side is just now coming out to many of us; however, he has a long history in the industry. He is a venture capitalist and has a firm called Upfront Ventures and founded a mobile video app called Convos. That is the side he wants

students to emulate and to think of other careers besides those that are long shots as professional athletes and musicians.

Communities in Schools (CIS) sponsored the event. It’s a nonprofit organization with the goals of empowering students to stay in school, graduate and have a plan for their future, according to their website.

CIS targets areas of the city with predominately low-income and minority populations to empower at-risk children to graduate from high school and succeed in life.

Chamillionaire also established a campaign, Youcaring, to aid victims of Hurricane Harvey. After seeing the devastation with his own eyes, Chamillionaire decided to step up his efforts donating a lot of his own personal time and money. “ I am a musician, but I am also a Houston native and I am completely heartbroken after witnessing what this flooding has done to disrupt the lives of so many hard working families and people,” he said via his website.

His efforts have garnered over $45,000 for a relief fund.

Gospel Stars Tour Houston for McDonald’s Holiday Experience Concert

By Keandra Scott, Style Entertainment Writer

G

ospel music stars are coming to Houston for the first-ever McDonald’s Holiday Experience Concert, a leg of the Inspiration Celebration Gospel Tour. McDonald’s Inspiration Celebration Gospel Tour is an extension of the brand’s 365Black platform, an initiative that celebrates the pride, heritage, and achievements of African-Americans year-round.

The 2017 multi-city ICGT “Unstoppable” tour made stops in 15 cities, including Atlanta, New Orleans, Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles, Memphis, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. The longest running, brand-owned Gospel music tour took place at The Church Without Walls (5725 Queenston Boulevard, Houston, TX 77084). This year has been very challenging for Houston and the free Holiday Experience Concert was an opportunity to give back to the resilient city and its people.

“You Will Win,” Carr says, “It does not matter what we go through in life, despite what the enemy says...

You will win over whatever it is you are facing… Even if you can’t see with your natural eye...

ou’ve been cooking up a storm for days. Soon, the whole family will be sitting at your table, which will be loaded down with everybody’s favorites.

The turkey will be golden. The bread, warm and soft. Pies line your kitchen counter because you’ve cooked for days. At least, as you’ll see in “Bound to the Fire” by Kelley Fanto Deetz, you didn’t cook ‘round the clock, too.

Most of us, says Deetz, are used to seeing Black faces on boxes of our breakfast foods.

We might not notice them much anymore but those trademarked figures hide an often misunderstood truth.

The “black community” in Virginia, says Deetz, “is almost as old as the colony itself.”

In 1619, some twenty “negroes” lived in Jamestown; by 1625, there were 23 “Africans” in all of Virginia.

Once slavery took firm hold in the state, there were tens of thousands of enslaved people but Deetz focuses on cooks, beginning with plantation homes.

As slavery expanded, kitchens began to be set apart from the main house, probably because white plantation owners didn’t want slaves under their roofs. For enslaved cooks and their families, that was both good and

bad: more privacy was gained by living in the building where the kitchen was, and accommodations were usually larger than in the slave cabins – but that proximity meant that cooks were constantly on-call.

It took “a network of enslaved folks” to put food on the table, not only in growing the food, but in what may have been a housestaff of dozens. Cooks cooked, but they were also bakers, butchers, brewers, distillers, and sometimes, laundresses.

A cook was likely taught to read and do “basic math,” and she (sometimes, he) taught kitchen chores to new slaves. Despite a constant likelihood of abuse and brutality, cooks often had surprising power over their mistresses and may’ve even negotiated their own circumstances. without the influence of enslaved cooks?

Not much, as Deetz indicates – and Southern architecture would be the lesser, too.

final point: Americans must look beyond stereotypes and be mindful of those who literally nourished a nation.

Using documents and research, Deetz explains how this is so, which leads to a fascinating look at day-to-day work of Virginia cooks, the power they wielded, and how they influenced what you’ll eat this “Bound to the Fire” sets things straight, holiday season. but cooking isn’t the only focus here.

Be aware that this is not a cookbook. Instead, this is a book of history and a chance to set it straight. Yes, there are old-timey half-recipes in here but really, “Bound to the Fire” is meant for opening eyes, rather than mouths.

phe. “It touched me to see how many people were affected by the hurricane.” Days later when he finally arrived in the city, he hit the ground running, teaming up with Councilwoman Edwards going door to door to check on elderly individuals.

The event took place at St. John’s Church downtown and once Mbah A Moute walked through the door and gazed at the number of individuals in attendance, his face lit up with excitement.

“I got a random call telling me that Luc was coming with me to check on my senior constituents and ever since that day he has been in the trenches doing what he can to help in the healing and recovering process,” said Edwards.

“I have lived in the United States away from my family for a very long time, and around the holidays I try to rally around my teammates and the community to give back to those in need,” said the Rockets Forward.

For as much as he smiled while greeting each and every person who attended the event, Mbah A Moute had that same fervor when asked about the Rockets who have won 16 of their last 17 games and are currently on a ten-game winning streak.

Mbah A Moute, who was acquired by Houston this year via free agency, was returning from his home country of Cameroon when Hurricane Harvey devastated the city. While being rerouted due to airport closures, Mbah A Moute felt in his heart that he must do something to help those suffering from the natural catastro-

Texans Battle Red Game Photography by Semetra Samuel t was Battle Red Sunday for the Houston Texans. This week they faced the San Francisco 49ers. Although they battled hard, the Texans would come up short with a heartbreaking 26-16 loss. Sunday’s game featured a number of exciting moments. Simone Biles, 19-time combined Olympic and World Champion medalist, served as an honorary Houston Texans Cheerleader and joined the Cheerleaders on the sideline during the first half. Another Houston star, Houston Rockets legend Hakeem Olajuwon, served as the Homefield Advantage Captain. Several dedicated Texans fans were recognized through the “Celebration of Tailgating.” The game also featured the 16th edition of the H-E-B “Tailgater of the Year” competition held in the RTIC Tailgate lane. The inaugural “Commissioner’s Cup” was held in the NRG Stadium parking lots. Judged by Houston Texans President Jamey Rootes and the “Commissioner of Tailgating” Joe Cahn.

HEALTH Medicare Takes Aim

at Medical Identity Theft

C

riminals are increasingly targeting people age 65 or older for personal identity theft. In 2014 alone, there were 2.6 million such incidents among seniors, according to the Department of Justice. A growing offshoot of identity theft is healthcare fraud, which can result when someone unlawfully uses another person’s Medicare number. Medical identity theft can lead to inaccuracies in medical records, which in turn can result in delayed care, denied services and costly false claims.

That’s why Medicare works with the Department of Justice, taking aim squarely at would-be thieves. In the largest law enforcement action against criminals fraudulently targeting the Medicare, Medicaid and Tricare programs, 412 people around the country, including 115 doctors, nurses and other licensed medical professionals, were

By Family Features

charged in 2017 with bilking U.S. taxpayers out of $1.3 billion. The next big fraud-fighting push is well underway.

People with Medicare don’t need to take any action to get a new Medicare card.

Beginning in April, 2018, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will mail out newly designed Medicare cards to the 58 million Americans with Medicare.

The cards will have a new number that will be unique for each card recipient. This will help protect personal identity and prevent fraud because identity thieves can’t bill Medicare without a valid Medicare number.

To help with a seamless transition to the new cards, providers will be able to use secure look up tools that will support quick access to the new card numbers when needed.

Healthcare fraud drives up costs for everyone, but healthcare consumers can be an effective first line of defense against fraud.

Follow these tips to help protect yourself:

Do

• Treat your Medicare number like a credit card.

• When the new card comes in the mail next year, destroy your old card and make sure you bring your new one to your doctors’ appointments.

• Be suspicious of anyone offering early bird discounts, limited time offers or encouraging you to act now for the best deal. That’s an indicator of potential fraud because Medicare plans are forbidden from offering incentives.

• Be skeptical of free gifts, free medical services, discount packages or any offer that sounds too good to be true.

• Only give your Medicare number to doctors, insurers acting on your behalf or trusted people in the community who work with Medicare, like your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP).

• Report suspected instances of fraud.

•Check your Medicare statements to make sure the charges are accurate.

mwww.StyleMagazine.com oc.enizagaMelytS.www www.stylemagazine.com

Don’t

• Don’t share your Medicare number or other personal information with anyone who contacts you by telephone, email or approaches you in person, unless you’ve given them permission in advance.

• Don’t let anyone borrow or pay to use your Medicare number.

• Don’t allow anyone, except your doctor or other Medicare providers, to review your medical records or recommend services.

• Don’t let anyone persuade you to see a doctor for care or services you don’t need.

• Don’t accept medical supplies from a doorto-door salesman.

Learn more about how you can fight Medicare fraud at Medicare.gov/fraud, or call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227). You can also visit a local SHIP counselor, who can provide free, one-on-one, non-biased Medicare assistance. Seniors can be effective partners in fighting Medicare fraud.
