COVID-19 Vaccine Looms as Virus Spread Hits Record Levels
By Francis Taylor, Senior Correspondent
The Center for Disease Control (CDC) announced this week how the COVID-19 vaccine should be allocated indicating that 20 million doses will be available in December. The CDC Board of Advisors recommended that priority should first be given to health care workers and next to residents of long-term care facilities that house the individuals most vulnerable to the
virus. It is important to note that vaccine allocation is important because the 20 million doses that will be available in December will not satisfy the nation’s 21 million health care workers or the three million residents of long-term care facilities. COVID-19 vaccine news comes at a time when Gov. Gavin Newsom suggested Monday a new statewide stay-at-home order could be in store
New Safer at Home Restrictions and Its Impact on Inglewood Businesses By Mayor James T. Butts, Jr., Exclusive to Inglewood Today
Amid the recent surge in COVID-19 cases, deaths, and hospitalizations in LA County, the new LA County Safer at Home restrictions that went into effect Monday, November 30, 2020, will have negative impacts on the City of Inglewood’s local businesses and restaurants. The new measures will remain in effect until December 20, 2020, according to the Los Angeles County Public Health Department. As
specified in the new Safer at Home Order, various businesses are directed to set reduced occupancy limits. The list includes, essential retail: 35% maximum occupancy; nonessential retail: 20% maximum occupancy; personal care services: 20% maximum occupancy; fitness centers operating outdoors: 50% maximum occupancy, and more. Individuals at these sites are required to wear face coverings and Continued on page 2
in coming days amid an end-of-year coronavirus surge that could rapidly fill the state’s hospitals. He predicted that hundreds of thousands of vaccines will be in California by mid-December and he also announced that new funds to help businesses are coming. Since about 12 percent of the new California cases that were contracted over Thanksgiving required hospitalization, the governor announced that barring a huge shift in
collective behavior, the state could see an increase, just in hospitalizations, twoto-three times greater than the current census in just one calendar month. Southern California beds are already 66 percent occupied and could be 79% full by Christmas Eve. The vaccines that will be available have experienced some controversy. Continued on page 8

HEKKER, SEBASTIAN JOSEPHDAY and ANDREW WHITWORTH helped lead the process, participating in virtual conversations with the organizations and determining how to allocate the funds. “As a leader on this team, it was important to me to be part of these conversations,” said Brockers. “My teammates and I are very aware of the social injustices that continue to occur, and we made a decision to become actively involved in helping to be part of the change that is desperately needed. It was awesome to hear from so many different leaders and non-profits that are putting the work in to make real change and I’m honored to support them.” “In my 15 years in the NFL, this has definitely been one of the most inspiring things that I have had the opportunity to be part of,” said Whitworth. “It was an amazing process that allowed us to learn about a variety of non-profits working across Los Angeles to positively impact lives and advance social justice. The chance to hear directly from them on how we could help left us both humbled and motivated. On behalf of my teammates, we thank them for their daily passion and commitment to drive equity and are proud to support their important work.” Andrew Whitworth surprises Los Angeles non-profits with financial donations from Rams players Below are the 25 recipient non-

The new order forces these restaurants to shut down all outdoor dining and restricts them to take out, delivery and drive-thru services only. Many of our local restaurants invested hard earned dollars to provide outdoor dining services and welcomed the holiday season as a potential boost to their businesses and wages for their employees. City leadership worked diligently with local businesses to change ordinances as a lifeline to provide outdoor dining in available parking lots and sidewalks. With no new stimulus dollars on the horizon from the Federal government, many restaurant owners fear they will not be able to survive this latest shutdown and may have to close their doors forever.

The Lion Queen Toxic Masculinity Disguised as Femininity By Michelle Lyons, Columnist
Often, I find myself quoting Alice Walker, the author of The Color Purple, whenever someone asked me if I am a feminist. I always respond, “I am a Womanist.” “Womanist is to feminist as purple is to lavender,” said Walker. They both sound the like they mean the same thing, but they are vastly different. For the most part, feminist wants women to be equal to men. Womanists want men to be held to the same standards as women. I honestly believe that the feminist movement has taken on a lot of toxic masculine traits because of the wording of the movement. Like the feminist, womanist believe men and women should be paid the same for the same work. But Womanist believes men should help around the house and men should respect and protect their bodies, as well. Feminists believe that a woman’s body is hers and no one can tell her what to do with it so she should be free to sleep around, curse, fight and act like a toxic man. The biggest problem with the modern-day feminist movement is what happens to one affects us all. And since many feminists promote vulgarity, promiscuity and abortion culture it affects our children and most importantly it takes away a woman’s power. The modern-day feminist movement is extremely misogynistic because it degrades women. Just like in the game of Chess, a Queen is the most powerful person in the game of life. But a Queen’s greatest power is her femininity. Femininity is more powerful than Masculinity. Continued on page 7
BUPPIE | BUSINESS Obituary: Remembering Walter Scott Hawkins, Data Researcher, Scholar and Black Students Advocate
Joe W. Bowers Jr. | California Black Media
Walter Scott Hawkins was a California State University San Bernardino (CSUSB) administrator for 33 years where he was a champion of providing minority students the tools they needed to succeed academically. Hawkins passed away on Nov. 18. He was 72 years old. Hawkins was a resident of Rialto, a city in San Bernardino County located about 54 miles east of Los Angeles, for more than 40 years. He was active in the African American community serving as President of the Rialto Board of Education and as a member of a variety of community service programs and groups in the San Bernardino area. Respected for his aptitude at collecting and analyzing numerical data, Hawkins was also a University administrator who used his skill to evaluate programs assisting underserved students. In the community, he effectively used data to help elect policy makers that supported the needs of its African American members and to propose actions policy makers needed to take. Recently, Hawkins was a consultant to California Black Media (CBM). He collected the data, analyzed it and produced “Counting Black California” a report that identified population pockets of “hard to count” African Americans to guide groups and organizations focused on increasing Black participation in the 2020 US Census. This data was overlaid with state COVID-19 outbreak data to help the African American Community Empowerment Council secure $2.5 million dollars for testing in the African American community statewide. Hawkins was born in San Angelo, Texas on Oct. 12, 1948. He was the only son of Maiso and Altamae Hawkins. His father was a master sergeant in the US Air Force. As a child, Hawkins lived on military bases in Japan and Germany where he gained familiarity with both languages. After graduating from Victor Valley High School in Victorville, California, he attended San Diego State University on an academic scholarship. While there he played on the football team and ran track and he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree (BA), Master of Social Work (MSW), and Pupil Personnel Service Credential. While living in San Diego, Hawkins worked as the Director of the Black
Social Workers Association and was on the staff of the San Diego County Adoption program called Tayari that recruits prospective foster and adoptive parents in the African American community. Hawkins joined the Cal State University San Bernardino (CSUSB) administration in September 1974. His first job was as the director of the Upward Bound program. Upward Bound focuses on identifying qualified youth who are low-income and potential first-generation college students in order to support and encourage them in pursuit of post-secondary enrollment. After that he was appointed director of the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP). Under his leadership, EOP grew from two programs in Student Services to a strong Undergraduate Studies office in the Academic Affairs department. Hawkins was recognized for dedication to students as an EOP Trailblazer when the California State
Universities celebrated the EOP 50th anniversary in 2019. Current CSUSB EOP Director Veronica Ramirez Amerson said, “Walter is well loved by our EOP team and his spirit, humor, knowledge and strong advocacy for students and our community will always be remembered.” After EOP, Hawkins became the director of the Research & Policy Analysis Office (RPAO) in Undergraduate Studies. Retired Associate Vice President for Undergraduate Studies Dr. Milton Clark said, “Walter was just brilliant at looking at data, seeing what programs worked, what programs that didn’t
work, preparing reports. The help that he provided and the data that he provided was invaluable. I think, as much as anything by example, I learned to be a better leader, because of Walter.” Hawkins retired from CSUSB in the spring of 2007. Retirement gave him more time to engage in a variety of volunteer community service programs in the San Bernardino area. He was a Rialto USD School Board member for nine years and he served in an appointed position with the San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools. With the San Bernardino NAACP Branch, he served as the Chair of the Political Action Committee and with the Westside Action Group (WAG), a nonprofit community organization. He was a Second Vice President. Past president of the San Bernardino NAACP and retired Assemblymember (District 47) Cheryl Brown said, “The community has lost another giant. Walter Hawkins was a master data analyst. The information he provided gave depth and context to an issue. He could look at the data and tell the true story. His reports were on target. He mastered the computer and will always be known for his work on what he developed and called the Ebony Triangle, a statistical area where Black people were moving in the latest migration” Alton Garrett, who met Hawkins at the Westside Action Group in 1991 and collaborated with him on a number of political campaigns and policy related projects said, “He was a great person. He’s going to be missed in the community and in the education arena.” In addition to his community service, Hawkins was a Senior Research Associate with NewHawk, a consulting firm that focused on demographic research, geographic information systems (GIS), political campaign support, database management and digital imaging. Hawkins is survived by his wife Dr. Jean Peacock, a CSUSB professor emeritus of psychology, their children and grandchildren. He was a member of Ecclesia Christian Fellowship Church in San Bernardino and a member of Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity.

Women are naturally receivers and intuitive, so it does not take much for us to garner respect and control. Men are the ones that normally have to work and put in the effort to get the power that women earn with just our presence.

Wide receiver Robert Woods also had a big day for Los Angeles offensively, posting six catches for 89 yards and a touchdown plus two carries for 15 yards and another score. Week 13, 2019 season: Rams 34, Cardinals 7 The Rams got off to a fast start in this one, building a 20-0 halftime lead behind a pair of Greg Zuerlein field goals, a 2-yard Tyler Higbee touchdown catch and a 1-yard Todd Gurley touchdown run. That advantage grew to 34-0 midway through the third quarter behind a 10yard Cooper Kupp touchdown catch and a 31-yard pick six by Taylor Rapp, Rapp’s first interception of his career. It took a 15-yard Kyler Murray touchdown run with 8:35 left in the fourth quarter for the Cardinals to escape being shut out. Most notable from this game, though, was Higbee’s performance. His 107 receiving yards not only marked his first 100-yard game of his NFL career, but also the first of four straight such games. Only three other tight ends in NFL history have had four consecutive games with 100 or more receiving yards. Week 17, 2019 season: Rams 31, Cardinals 24 A memorable sendoff for the Rams’ tenure inside Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, quarterback Jared Goff’s
pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns to Higbee and wide receiver Robert Woods broke a 17-all tie and gave Los Angeles enough cushion to withstand a late 1-yard Kenyan Drake rushing touchdown to hold on for the win. Arizona reached midfield on the final drive of the game, but it ended with Los Angeles outside linebacker Samson Ebukam recovering inside linebacker Troy Reeder’s forced fumble on Damiere Byrd to officially clinch the L.A. victory. While Higbee fell 16 yards shy of becoming the first tight end in NFL history with five straight games of 100 or more receiving yards, those 84 yards still gave him the new franchise tight end record for receiving yards in a single season – one week after setting the franchise tight end record for receptions in a single season. Week 2, 2018 season: Rams 34, Cardinals 0 Gurley’s three rushing touchdowns and 73 scrimmage yards, coupled with limiting Cardinals running back David Johnson to zero touchdowns and 51 scrimmage yards, helped the Rams shut out the Cardinals in the first meeting between the two teams for a second straight year (the Rams defeated the Cardinals 33-0 in the first matchup of 2017). Goff also threw for 354 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the win, completing 24 of 32 passes. Wide receiver Brandin Cooks posted 7 receptions for 159 yards, including a 57-yard grab.

Enter Floyd ... who’s calling on everyone -- and specifically the Black community -- to back off the ex-NBA star. “Nate, I’m proud of you and I will always stand behind all my brothers,” Mayweather posted on social media. “I will never kick my brother when he’s down.” Mayweather continued ... “It’s ok for people to voice their opinions on social media, but no black athletes or black entertainers, especially black NBA players should make a mockery out of you.” “We are supposed to all stand with each other through the good, bad and ugly. I’m here to uplift you and let you
know we all love you and congratulate you for just making an effort.” Floyd added a “sidenote” at the end of his post -- addressing issues he’s had in the past with other Black people. “The times I’ve had issues with another brother is when they came at me first. I was just defending myself.” As for Nate, he posted on social media after the fight saying he’s okay -and thanked everyone who reached out. “To my coaches, trainers, fans, and teammates, I appreciate all of the time and support you guys put in with me... it wasn’t the outcome that we wanted, but I’m thankful for the opportunity to fight on the biggest stage that there has been.”

According to the PEW Research Center the U.S. Public is not divided over whether to get COVID-19Vaccine. Inglewood business owner and professional massage therapist Lara Moore said, “hell no, I am not going to get a COVID-19 vaccine because not enough time and research has been completed to ensure the vaccine’s efficacy. On the other hand Inglewood Electrician Tyrone Robinson said, “I will take the vaccine because too many people have already died as a result of COVID-19 and it is only a matter of time before anyone may catch the virus. Also if you do not get the vaccine you will not be permitted to fly on an airplane and there may be other restrictions. Finally,” he added, “I do not want to die because the republicans are floating a conspiracy theory that the virus is a hoax.” About half of U.S. adults (51%) now say they would definitely or probably get a vaccine to prevent COVID-19 if it were available today; nearly as many (49%) say they definitely or probably would not get vaccinated at this time. Intent to get a COVID-19 vaccine has fallen from 72% in May, a 21 percentage point drop. There are widespread public concerns about aspects of the vaccine development process. On the heels of a pledge from nine pharmaceutical companies to ensure that a potential vaccine would meet rigorous standards, the Center survey finds three-quarters of Americans (77%) think it’s very or somewhat likely a COVID-19
vaccine will be approved in the United States before its safety and effectiveness are fully understood. And when asked about the pace of the vaccine approval process, 78% say their greater concern is that it will move too fast, without fully
establishing safety and effectiveness, compared with just 20% who are more concerned approval will move too slowly, creating unnecessary delays. There are also concerns over side effects, how the
vaccine works and how much individuals would have to pay for the vaccine – even though President-elect Joe Biden has announced that the vaccine will be free. Oscar Mairena, manager of Inglewood’s busiest 7-11 convenience store on Manchester Boulevard said, “Yes, I will get the vaccine and I urge others to do the same. We need to get back to normal. My store has experienced a loss of about 20 percent of our monthly sales volume since March.” Phil Hernandez, Inglewood resident and college student said, “I am not sure about the vaccine and doubt that I will get it. Not enough research has been done to guarantee its safety and effectiveness.” California is expecting 327,000 doses of the initial Pfizer COVID-19 shot in mid-December with second doses to follow, Newsom said. A more detailed vaccine distribution plan, including who will be prioritized for inoculation, will be unveiled this week. California is also gearing up to pump more money into California’s pandemicstricken economy with a new round of tax credits and grants. Small businesses that have collected and owe the state up to $1 million in sales taxes can keep the money, for now, while larger companies with more than $5 million in taxable sales can fill out a form for a deferral. Similar aid is expanding to hard-hit sectors such as restaurants, bars, hair salons and others in hospitality. The state will also provide $500 million in relief funds via grants of up to $25,000 to small businesses, nonprofits and cultural centers.
