Congresswoman Maxine Waters
statement against Midnight Mitch McConnell’s Sham Impeachment Trial Rules
IT News Wire
WASHINGTON – Congresswoman Maxine Waters (CA-43) issued a statement on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s partisan rules for the
impeachment trial of Donald Trump, which will operate on a greatly compressed schedule in the dark of night, and, for the first time in U.S. history, will proceed without a guarantee for material witnesses and documents: “Trump’s criminality and corruption have infected everything he has touched – including the Republican controlled U.S. Senate. The House has presented an ironclad set of facts and indisputable evidence that Donald Trump abused his power and obstructed Congress. He has been duly impeached by the House for these high crimes. In lieu of a fair Senate trial with bipartisan rules, witness testimony, and evidentiary documents, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has coordinated in Continued on page 2 JOIN US ON

ing at the opening ceremonies, then taking a ride in the parade, Mackey came down to Market Street for yet another presentation on the KJLH Stage and had enough energy to continue for even more. Wearing her customary royal blue dress with her gold ABC7 pin attached just above her heart, she gleamed from ear to ear as she stopped to pause and reflect on the occasion and its prominent location. “To be recognized at an event that honors Martin Luther King Jr. is an added honor because it’s in my home town, a city that I love and continue to call home,” Mackey explained to Inglewood Today. Although her family moved to Riverside where she attended high school, she did attend St John Chrysostom Catholic School in the city. The Community Journalist for ABC7 Eyewitness News earned her master’s degree in sports journalism from the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication and her bachelor’s degree in broadcast journalism from the University of Montana. Mackey has earned awards in journalism such as the project Robert F. Kennedy Award, an Edward R. Murrow award, a BEA award and an EPPY award. As an African American in a field that is dominated by whites, her presence for a major network speaks volumes to her talent and ability garner the respect of hierarchy in the industry.

“It’s a great statement (for ABC7) for me to be placed in Inglewood and it means the company is trying to be more inclusive of people from the community that it represents,” she added. Her message to many young people who are inspired by her is a rather simple one. “Stay young, by that I mean there is so much to learn in life so take advantage of it.” There was something for everyone who attended the festivities that closed off Market Street from Florence Ave. to Hillcrest Blvd. Among the bustling of booths were the tasty pleasantries of the food trucks, which included lobster, burgers, snow cones and natural flavored popsicles, awards presentations by Inglewood Mayor James T.

Mark Ridley-Thomas in District 2, an overwhelmingly Democratic district that encompasses large swaths of South Los Angeles. Upon hearing the news of the endorsement, LA City Council President Emeritus Herb Wesson issued the following statement: “It is a great honor to have the support of the Inglewood teachers, who inspire our children every day and help shape their future. As Assembly Speaker and LA Council President, I’ve worked diligently to expand gang-prevention programs, improve school safety and give both students and teachers the tools they need to succeed. As your next County Supervisor, I will fight to ensure all children - regardless of their background or socio-economic status - receive a quality education.” During his tenure as Council President, Wesson has presided over monumental policy initiatives that have made Los Angeles a better place to live, work and raise a family. These initiatives — which include raising the minimum wage, expanding protections for working Angelenos, and consolidating city elections to increase voter turnout — have not only positively impacted local residents, but in many cases, sparked legislative responses at both the state and national level. While real progress has been made in the last decade, Herb Wesson knows that there’s still more work to be done. That’s why he’s running for Los Angeles County Supervisor: to empower people and make a difference in the lives of local residents. Herb Wesson currently lives in Los Angeles and is happily married to Fabian Wesson. They have four sons: Douglas, P.J. Herb III, and Justin Wesson.

lockstep with Trump’s lawyers, abandoned his Constitutionally mandated impartiality as a juror, and now, presented a set of partisan rules that will hide the facts and protect impeached Trump from his necessary and welldeserved removal from office. “There is no question that Trump abused his power by withholding $391 million of Congressionally appropriated funds to Ukraine in order to get dirt on his opponent and aid his pathetic 2020 campaign. It is an absolute fact that he obstructed Congress by blocking all of those who played a role and/ or witnessed his offenses from complying with Congressional requests and subpoenas for documents and testimony. In abandoning all precedent for past impeachment trials, blocking material witnesses and documents, producing a truncated and rushed
trial schedule, and making room for a speedy dismissal, Midnight Mitch McConnell has abandoned his role as a leader of a coequal branch of government, and emerged instead as nothing more than a Trump crony and co-captain of his criminal enterprise. “The American people are witnessing a guilty mob boss president who has obstructed all efforts to investigate his crimes and misconduct, and now has a firm grip on weak Senator jurors that fear him and will openly conspire to prevent his conviction. If McConnell and other Trump cronies in the Senate abandon the Constitution and undermine the American people’s right to a fair trial, they should meet the same fate as all others who have joined Trump’s criminal enterprise. We must keep our focus on the facts and our pressure on the remaining Republican Senators who respect the Constitution and have a shred of a backbone left.”

The City of Inglewood commemorated Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s Day with a full day of activities on Saturday, Jan. 18th with the 37th Annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Celebration. The day began with an Ecumenical Service in the Tabernacle of Faithful Central Bible Church, followed by a parade that began on Eucalyptus Avenue and travelled east on Manchester. The parade ended just beyond Market Street, where The Kingfest Street Festival extended from Nutwood to Manchester. The Ecumenical Service featured elected officials and local dignitaries who shared their perspective on Dr. King and one of the highlights of the morning service were the students who delivered their version of Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream Speech.” The parade was certainly among the largest in the city’s history, led by the award-winning Inglewood High
School Marching Band. The parade featured local elected officials, social and civic organization representatives, Inglewood Unified School District Schools, dance and entertainment groups, local school bands and a host of others. The KINGFEST event on Market Street was “off the chain,” and representative of the types and quality of outdoor events the City of Inglewood residents have come to expect from the city staff. Two entertainment stages offered residents, guests and visitors free, world-class entertainment; food vendors were on-hand to offer a broad range of food choices, elected officials were present to answer constituent questions and a host of other vendors offered a bevy of information and services for festival participants. Below is a collection of photographs that capture the essence of the day’s activities

News Rep. Maxine Waters: Dr. King’s Fight Continues On It News Wire
WASHINGTON – Congresswoman Maxine Waters (CA-43), Chairwoman of the House Committee on Financial Services, issued a statement on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, which she celebrated at a variety of commemorative events across the 43rd District: “On this day we honor one of the world’s most impassioned freedom fighters and ‘drum majors for justice’: Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. With his powerful, dignified, and transformative leadership of the Civil Rights Movement, his soul-stirring sermons and speeches, and his prophetic ‘dream’ of a day when men and women would ‘not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character,’ Dr. King made the ultimate sacrifice in order to force America to live up to its promise of equality and justice for all. “Dr. King and countless other civil rights heroes were harassed, beaten, jailed, and lived under the constant threat of death, and in doing so, secured the historic passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act
of 1965. More than 50 years later, we all have a responsibility to continue the fight for justice and equality. With nearly 568,000 people experiencing homelessness on any given night, we must fight for the House and Senate passage of my bill, H.R. 1856, the Ending Homelessness Act, which would provide $13.2 billion to end homelessness in America and get our veterans, seniors, and children off the street. We must continue to fight against efforts at the Supreme Court where one of the largest media companies in the world, Comcast, is seeking to undermine the ability for entrepreneurs who have been victims of racial discrimination to bring forth lawsuits and have their rights enforced by the courts as guaranteed by the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and Section 1981 of the Act – a move that is strongly opposed in a House resolution I led that is supported by the Congressional Black Caucus and the civil rights community. We must continue to demand justice for black and brown youth who are being killed with impunity at the hands of the police, and fight Continued on page 6

Super Bowl to feature division foes Chargers and Rams have a lot of work to do By Kenneth Miller, Publisher
So now that we know who will be playing in Super Bowl LIV, that means everybody else can already start hoping for a better 2020-21 season for the Chargers and Rams as they move to their shinny new stadium in Inglewood. The good news is both the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs hail from the NFC West and the AFC West, respectively. That is the same divisions that both the Chargers and Rams played in. For the Chargers and coach Anthony Lynn, the team will have a long way to go before it can match up with the high scoring Chiefs and quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The Chargers lost twice to KC, 2417 at home and 31-31 at Kansas City, but finished in last place in the division. It was rather a mix bag for a team that just a season ago was considered a Super Bowl contender. An aging quarterback in Phillip Rivers who turned the ball over too many times and a defense that wasn’t consistent enough. For the Rams, which got served a rude awakening by the 49ers at the Coliseum with a 20-7 thrashing and then lost a more spirited contest in Santa Clara 34-31, it was a season that began with all the promise in the world and ended with all of the questions in the
world. The Rams 9-7 record is one that many teams in the NFL would die for, but how they got to that mark of mediocrity is the more discerning. Yes I would take Jared Goff over Jimmy Garoppolo who is not being trusted to throw a meaningful pass in
Collision All Star Coaches Named
Adidas Collaborates with RunDMC for Commemorative Sneaker
By IT News Wire
The 22nd Annual Collision All Star high school basketball games has named its four coaches for the LA City-Southern Section girls and boys clash set for April 11, 2020 at Los Angeles Harbor College. Hamilton High’s Sherland Chensam and King Drew’s Lloyd Webster will coach the LA City girls and boy’s teams, while Chaminade’s Megan Kelso and Ribet Academy’s Reggie Howard will pilot the Southern Section girls and boys team. Chensam led the Yankees to the Los Angeles City Div. 2 title in 2018 and her team is among the leading candidates for the City Open Division. Meanwhile Webster is arguably the top boys coach in the City Section, and his King Drew outfit is a shoe in for the Open Division. Kelso was an assistant coach when
the post season, but I would not take Todd Gurley over record setting running back Raheem Mostert who was cut by 6 teams before he became the only player in NFL playoff history to rush for at least 200 yards and four touchdowns as he powered San Francisco to a 37-20 win over the Green Bay Pack-
ers in the NFC championship game and a Super Bowl LIV showdown with the Kansas City Chiefs in Miami. Meanwhile, while the Chargers have one of just three Black NFL head coaches, KC quarterback Mahomes’ name has been added to a very short list that began with this one: Doug Williams. The first black quarterback to both start in a Super Bowl and win the game’s MVP award, Williams took a sledgehammer to the racist myth that African American passers lacked the smarts, heart and talent to thrive on the game’s biggest stage. Now, in the Year of the Black Quarterback, Mahomes becomes the seventh black signal-caller to guide a team to this point. Not surprisingly, Williams couldn’t be happier. “This adds on to what African American quarterbacks have done all year,” Williams, who resides in Northern Virginia, said on the phone. “This is another example to show the other [black quarterbacks] playing in the game right now, and the guys coming up behind them [in college], that we can get there and we can do this. When you look at this year, how far we’ve come, and now Mahomes is going to the Super Bowl, you see what we can accomplish.” ESPN’s The Undefeated contributed to this story

for comprehensive criminal justice reform. We must continue to fight against Republican efforts to destroy Obamacare and protections for preexisting conditions like diabetes and heart disease, which disproportionately impact African Americans and people of color. We must continue to address the wealth gap, confront the debilitating student loan debt that is denying our young people the ability to experience the economic opportunity they were promised upon earning a college degree, and demand that our children and residents of cities like Flint, Michigan and Newark, New Jersey have clean drinking water and clean air to breath. Furthermore, we must continue to lead the fight against the dangerous and failed leadership of a now impeached president and an irresponsible administration that have no respect for the Constitution and pose a threat to our progress and that for which Dr. King stood. “On Dr. King Day and every day, let us reflect upon the famous letter from a Birmingham jail in which he wrote, ‘Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere,’ and honor his rich legacy by recommitting ourselves to his fight and the ongoing struggle for peace, equality, and justice for all.”

Chaminade head coach Kelli DiMuro led the Southern girls to victory at Collision in 2016 at Inglewood High School. “This is by far the best game there is, I am so honored to be the coach of the girls team,” Kelso stated.

California Voters Could Sanction Cities for Not Housing the Homeless By California Black Media Staff
Last week, a task force Gov. Newsom appointed made an aggressive new policy recommendation: Slap legal sanctions on local governments that fail to reduce homelessness by supporting the development of shelters and other housing options for people without permanent homes. The 13-member Council of Regional Homeless Advisors — led by Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg and L.A. County Supervisor Mark RidleyThomas — wants legislators to amend the California Constitution to make the policy legal and enforceable. They want to present it to voters as a statewide ballot measure in November. For the policy to be effective, it would need to have some teeth, Steinberg says. “We’ve tried moral persuasion. We’ve tried economic incentives,”he told the Los Angeles Times. “But all of it’s optional. Why should this be optional? It shouldn’t be. It mustn’t be. Thousands of people are dying on the streets, and people are telling us this is a priority.” Members of the governor’s task force have not outlined exactly what
the sanctions would look like, but they could include cities and counties losing control over how they spend state funds locally. Gov. Newsom says he supports the general concept but would like to see it tested in a pilot program first. “It is a tectonic shift in the way we’ve done things. I’ve learned — and you’ve probably heard me say this — there is an old wonderful African proverb that says ‘if you want to go fast, go alone, if you want to go far, go together,’” Newsom said last week in Grass Valley as he toured housing facilities for the homeless. The proposal comes just after the governor proposed about $1.4 billion in new funding in his 2020-21 budget to fight homelessness. An estimated

sneakers in three color options. The first release is black and white, with high-resolution red color. The second reportedly contains a white core with black stripes and a high-resolution red color. Images for the third sneaker hasn’t been released, but each includes Run-DMC branding throughout, with the letters “JMJ” emblazoned along the heel. The sneakers have a retail price of $150, so it’ll cost a little cash if you want to be like Run-DMC and have Adidas “funky fresh and yes cold on my feet.”

$640 billion from last year’s budget is expected to flow into local government coffers within the next couple of months, too, to support local homelessness and affordable housing initiatives. In California, there are more homeless people than any other state in the nation. And from 2018 to 2019, the state’s homeless population jumped by more than 16 percent to about 151,000 people, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Ridley-Thomas, who is African American, is expected to propose a pilot program to reduce homelessness that meets the state’s housing goals to the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors this week.

Local volunteers transformed the national holiday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on Jan. 20th into true testament of service in honor of his legacy by creating care packages containing soap, shampoo, socks, toothbrushes, toilet paper, and other personal care items and writing notes of encouragement to be delivered to organizations providing transitional housing programs, instead of celebrating by observance. A day of service was made possible by the non-profit organization Peace, Love & Serve Project, and its founder Yvette E. Bailey and local business owner Trevor Graham, who has owned and operated In The Cut Barber Shop, a community cornerstone that has been serving the community at its Regent street location for over 28 years, organized the Day of Service program. “It’s important I teach my kids the importance of giving back through community service”, said Lezlie Orr Brazil, an Inglewood native who brought her two children to the program. One volunteer, who only provided his first name, Anthony, shared his personal experience of being homeless in the downtown Inglewood area and credits Trevor with giving him a job at the shop and connecting him with resources. “Many in the community have loved ones in transitional housing, or on the brink of homeless, or homeless, so this event is a credit to the solution,” says Bailey. “Everyone has something to give, a kind word of encouragement, an hour of the day.” As Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr said, Life most persistent and urgent question is, “What are you doing for others?”
