Women Leaders on Sen. Harris Replacement: “One Is Not Enough, Zero Is Unacceptable.” Antonio Ray Harvey | California Black Media
The California Democratic Party Black Caucus (CDP Black Caucus) joined hands with other women organizations this past weekend. Their goal: to turn up the pressure on California Gov. Gavin Newsom to appoint a Black woman to replace outgoing Sen. Kamala Harris in the U.S. Senate. During the virtual “Keep The Seat” news conference, which representatives from the National Organization for Women (NOW) and Black Women United (BWU) attended, the organizers explained why Gov. Newsom should appoint a Black woman. They also gave reasons why he should narrow his options to U.S. Representatives Karen Bass (D-CA-37) and Barbara Lee (DCA-13). “This is a pivotal time in California history. I hope together we can bend the moral arc of history towards justice, together, by ensuring that the most underrepresented and marginalized community retain a significant representation in California by appointing a Black woman to replace Kamala Harris,” said Taisha Brown, chairperson of the CDP Black Caucus. Brown continued, “Our call is for all of you to join us in saying to Gavin Newsom, our governor, that we are not going to accept anything but a Black woman. I think it’s critical that we emphasize that.” Currently there are three African Americans serving in the United States Senate. Two of them are men (Cory Booker, a Democrat from New Jersey, and Tim Scott, a Republican from South Carolina). Harris, the junior Senator from California, is the only African American woman with a seat in the upper house of the United States Congress. But with Harris’s imminent ascendency to the Vice Presidency
of the United States, there will be no African American woman in the US Senate after Jan. 20, 2021. In response, the CDP Black Caucus has put out a call to action under the slogan “One is not enough, and zero is unacceptable.” “We have a Thanksgiving message for Gov. Gavin Newsom. Our goal is to have 250 every day until Thanksgiving. We need you to speak up. Make a call and let Gov. Newsom know that Black
and Lee. It’s not a gift. It’s recognition overdue. It’s also a service to the Democratic party. Black women have been the backbone of this party. So, it is debt owed to them,” he said. Over the weekend, several top women Democratic Party donors in California also urged Newsom to select a woman of color. About 150 of them have placed a letter in fullpage ads in two newspapers -- the LA Times in Southern California and the
The CLBC members also sent a letter to Gov. Newsom making their case for why Bass and Lee should be at the top of his shortlist of candidates. They cited the women’s lengthy legislative experience coupled with their broad foreign policy knowledge. Before the election on Nov. 3, Newsom said that he was getting pressure from different groups in the state about who he should appoint to replace Harris. He also acknowledged
women have been the backbone of the Democratic Party as voters, organizers, and we deserve representation in the United States Senate,” said Kendra Lewis, a representative for the CDP Black Caucus. Dr. Maulana Karenga, professor and chairman of Black Studies at California State University Long Beach, was also one of the “Keep The Seat” speakers. Karenga, who is also the founder of the annual spiritual and cultural celebration Kwanzaa, said he “stands strong” with the CDP Black Caucus’s push to keep a Black woman from California in the U.S. Senate. “First of all, no one is more qualified than the two women mentioned -- Bass
San Francisco Chronicle in Northern California -- making their request known to Newsom. “Women of color are the core drivers of electoral progress in our country, and their voices should be heard in the nation’s highest governing body. California is fortunate to have a strong pipeline of women of color in elected office who are prepared to serve; as Californians and political supporters, we look forward to you selecting one of them,” the letter read. The California Legislative Black Caucus (CLBC) and other Black leaders in the state have also called on Gov. Newsom to fill the seat with an African American woman.
that he feels the weight of making that important decision and predicted that his choice would not please everyone. “The stress of having to choose between a lot of friends, to choose between quality candidates, and the fact that whoever you pick, there are going to be a lot of people who are going to be upset, disappointed, that it wasn’t this or that, I don’t even want to get my arms around that until I have the privilege of having to make that decision,” Newsom said in an interview with Los Angeles’ FOX 11. Gov. Newsom can either decide to make an appointment to complete Harris’s term or he can call a special election.

Despite losing record Anthony Lynn deserves to stay
Darious Williams finally gets his shot

By Tamara Latta, IT Reporter
Now in his fourth season as Los Angeles Chargers head coach, Anthony Lynn is reportedly on the hot seat because the Chargers losing record. Though, the Chargers are 3-7- Lynn made it crystal clear at beginning of November that he was not making any adjustments to the current roster. In fact, the only changes he’s interested in making is turning losses into wins. “Right now- these men are very excited. We are 1-0 at the end of this
week; right now, we are on the Buffalo,” Lynn said at the time. Lynn is 1-2 since making that statement after the Chargers defeated the New York Jets 34-28 Sunday Nov. 22 at SoFi Stadium. Regardless of the victory against the Jets, fans still appear to be dissatisfied with Lynn’s style of play. Let’s be realistic. Lynn doesn’t have a full deck to shuffle, therefore we can’t plant all of the Chargers losing woes Continued on page 8
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. – It’s been a common refrain whenever a Rams player gets asked about cornerback Darious Williams’ 2020 success. “We’re not surprised,” they will say. Neither is Williams. Guided by unwavering faith, his patience over the last two years and beyond is being rewarded with a breakout third season. “It’s not a surprise,” Williams said during a video conference Friday. “I’ve been making plays for awhile now, just never able to put it on the field. Obviously we had all the talent in the world here with (Marcus) Peters and (Aqib) Talib, guys like that. It’s finally starting to show now.” Williams’ path to the Rams hasn’t been entirely unconventional. However, while he is not the first undrafted rookie to ascend to stardom, a fair argument could be made the route itself is one not every player has taken.
He initially began his college career at Division III Marietta College in Ohio in 2011, before returning home for family reasons, according to a December 2017 story from 247Sports. Two years later, he enrolled at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) looking to resume his college career, but had to try out as a walk-on twice to do so. According to a December 2017 story by The Athletic’s Matt Fortuna, he was cut during walk-on tryouts by then-head coach Garrick McGee in 2013 before making the team in 2014 under new head coach Bill Clark. Then, after a successful 2014 season in which recorded 23 tackles, one interception and six pass breakups starting in five of 12 games – and earned a scholarship halfway through the season – UAB shuttered its football program. The decision was announced on December 2, 2014 – three days after a 45-24 win at Southern Mississippi Continued on page 8

LA Kings and Wells Fargo ‘Team Up For Tech’ New Initiative in Support of Distance Learning Will Include a Donation of Educational Resources and Technological Tools for Students in Need Across Los Angeles IT New Wire
The LA Kings (NHL), and their longstanding exclusive financial services sponsor, Wells Fargo are joining forces to help students in need across Los Angeles with the launch of “Team Up For Tech” - a new initiative designed to help address the educational needs of underserved youth, many of whom are learning remotely this year. “TeamUp for Tech,” will support students in underserved local communities and help combat the technological barriers of distance learning with the donation of mobile Wi-Fi hotspots, headphones and Chromebooks. SoLa I CAN Foundation and The Partnership for Los Angeles Schools - two nonprofits with strong ties to the local community, will be overseeing the distribution of these resources with a focus on students and families in need. This year, while millions of students find themselves learning remotely for the first time in response to nationwide efforts to combat COVID-19, far too many lack the resources needed to support adequate distance learning. According to a recent study done by The Partnership for Los Angeles Schools in collaboration with researchers from the University of Southern California (USC), more than 25% of families have insufficient or no broadband internet service in their homes. Additionally, many families also lack adequate tools such as smartphones, tablets and computers or share these devices
among several family members, making at home learning that much more challenging. “Team Up for Tech” was established to help eliminate these educational barriers and bridge the digital divide for students and families. “At Wells Fargo, we have a long legacy of serving those who need it most. We recognize that the COVID-19 pandemic has forced many children to pivot to remote learning this school year and not all students have consistent access to the proper technology to keep their education going,” said Kent Caldwell-Meeks, Wells Fargo local leader. “Our collaboration with AEG and the LA Kings allows us to give back to the communities we serve by helping students across Los Angeles maintain their studies and stay connected with their teachers and fellow students during these unprecedented times.” To kick off the delivery of equipment to the students, Wells Fargo and the LA Kings will host a private drive-through distribution event for pre-selected families on Thursday, November 19 from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the SoLa “Beehive” Campus, located at 9121000 E. 60th St., Los Angeles, CA. 90001. Players from the LA Kings and select executives from Wells Fargo and the NHL team will be on site to greet and show support to the students and families in need as they pick up their brand-new equipment from the safety of their vehicles. “The pandemic has posed many new hardships to low income
families. A lack of reliable access to technology and internet has made the challenges of distance learning almost insurmountable with many children falling behind their more affluent peers. We are thrilled to be teaming up with the LA Kings and Wells Fargo on this important initiative to help kids gain the technology they need to effectively learn at school,” said, Sherri Francois, Executive Director of SoLa I CAN. “The Partnership for LA Schools is grateful to our long-time partners at the LA Kings, Wells Fargo, and AEG for their generous donation of laptops and other learning technology for Florence Griffith Joyner Elementary in Watts” says Joan Sullivan, CEO of the Partnership for Los Angeles Schools. “This donation is especially appreciated in this moment when equitable access to technology for students is more important than ever. This will make a big difference.” The public also has an opportunity to help make an impact through “Team Up For Tech” with their own donations. Donations from fans will also go towards improving at home learning and increasing educational access. For more information on how to get involved and donate please visit: www. Lakings.com/teamupfortech. “While the pandemic has caused obstacles for many people, the LA Kings believe that access to educational tools is critical to students’ success and well-being,” said Jen Pope, VP of Community Relations, Team Services
& Hockey Development for the LA Kings. “We are proud of the impact we continue to make through our more than decade-long partnership with our friends at Wells Fargo and we’re delighted to be able to provide essential technical resources to children
Hair Extensions Studio & Salon Offers New Stylist Stimulus Package
Glow + Flow Beauty Experience launches scholarship program
IT New Wire
LOS ANGELES - The class of 2020 was supposed to be graduating into one of the healthiest job markets to date. Students were excited to join the workforce, and begin their professional lives in the beauty industry. Cosmetology students in particular were displaced upon realizing their dreams of styling and growing in salons after graduation would be postponed. Licensed cosmetologists have been reduced to working from home, diminishing the value of a hard earned professional cosmetology license. This
predicament weighed heavily on the heart of Diann Valentine, the Founder of Glow + Flow Beauty Experience. “As an entrepreneur and Mom, I’m disheartened for the class of 2020. A plethora of amazing opportunities have been lost due to COVID-19. I want to use my influence and portfolio of businesses to help elevate new licensed beauty professionals who are struggling to get their foot in the door.” Valentine has decided to spearhead a scholarship opportunity for California cosmetologists licensed in 2020. Glow + Flow Beauty Experience’s New Stylist Stimulus Package is
available to beauticians in California who received their cosmetology licenses in the chaotic year of 2020. Scholarship recipients will be awarded several opportunities: ● All scholarship recipients will receive free booth space for three days. During this time candidates have the opportunity to bring in their own clientele or even work on new clients at Glow + Flow Beauty Experience. ● All scholarship recipients will have the opportunity to learn various hair extensions methods as Glow + Flow offers 8 different techniques. ● Scholarship candidates will be
granted full access to the salon to shoot content for their portfolios. This production day allows candidates to feature the luxury environment and amenities provided by Glow + Flow in their content free of charge. ● Valentine’s sister company Glow + Flow Beauty Supply will be awarding scholarship applicants a 15% discount. ● Scholarship stylists will be granted free admission to the beauty business seminar hosted by Diann Valentine and her seasoned team of beauty professionals.This Continued on page 7

Tyson last won a fight 17-years ago against Clifford Etienne, but he closed a chapter on what was considered by many as the most feared heavyweight since Sony Liston by getting knocked out by forgettable foes such as Kevin McBride and Danny Williams in 2004 and 2005, respectively. Meanwhile Jones was adding the final polish to his once brilliant career in 2018, winning four fights in a row against the dreadful Scott Sigmon, Bobby Gunn, Rodney Moore and Vyron Phillips. A free cookie if you know any of them. Nonetheless, Tyson and Jones will be paid a reported whopping $20 million for a scheduled 8 round snoozer, a direct insult to scores of young brilliant fighters whose careers have been handicapped by the COVID pandemic and purses severely crippled by the absence of live gates. The appetite for Tyson’s return to the ring evolved months ago when I start receiving text messages from his long time bag man Eric Brown, teasing the champ is back. There was Tyson bobbing and weaving, blasting left and rights at mitts. To the novice eye it was quite impressive, but those who really know the sport will explain to you that

the 58 California counties, 41 are now at the state’s most restrictive, or purple, tier, including Alameda, Los Angeles, Riverside and San Diego counties. On Friday, the governor announced a curfew between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. in 41 counties. It will affect more than 90 % of Californians, but he stopped short of reissuing a statewide shelter-in-place order. “The virus is spreading at a pace we haven’t seen since the start of this pandemic and the next several days and weeks will be critical to stop the surge. We are sounding the alarm,” Gov. Newsom said in a statement. “It is crucial that we act to decrease transmission and slow hospitalizations before the death count surges.” Earlier in the week, Gov. Newsom announced a stricter mandate that requires mask wearing “statewide at all times when outside of the home” by everyone over age two. The new restrictions are in response to the recent COVID-19 case surge, the “fastest increase we’ve seen since the start of the pandemic,” according to Newsom. Nationwide, COVID-19 cases hit 12 million on Nov. 21, an increase of nearly 1 million over the previous week. More than 250,000 Americans have died of COVID-19 so far. “Every age group, every racial demographic, in every part of the state we are seeing case rates increase and positivity rates increase as well. It is no longer concentrated in just a handful of counties. We are seeing community

hitting mitts and speed bags do not compare to having someone in front of you hitting back. Jones doesn’t drink nor drug, but has been rocked enough in big fights to question if he can absorb any kind of punch. Tyson, on the other hand has done it all from cocaine and most recently weed and we all can remember what happened to him when he fought Lennox Lewis and before that Buster Douglas in the greatest upset in the history of the sport. Neither man is broke, but this payday will top anything they have in the bank right now. If you are hoping the Tyson that annihilated Michael Spinks will show up forget about it. Nor will you see flashes of Jones savvy boxing skills that were on display when he beat James Toney. What you will likely see is a spectacle minus Don King that we all will forget before it trends on Twitter.
spread broadly throughout the state of California,” Newsom said during a news briefing Monday. Public health and government officials have recently shifted their messaging to warning the public about the spread of COVID-19 in the winter months, as families consider whether to gather for the holidays. On Nov. 13, Newsom issued a travel advisory warning to California residents discouraging travel out of the state for any nonessential reason, including the Thanksgiving holiday, and recommending a 14-day quarantine for anyone who does travel. Newsom also shared the number of current COVID-19 hospitalizations in California, which has climbed 48 % over the past two weeks to reach 3,800 as of Nov. 15. Of those, more than 1,000 people were in intensive care. Black and Brown communities including East Oakland and East Los Angeles are still hotspots – and the case numbers are climbing. Dr. Beverly Tambe is a primary doctor at Adventist Health White Memorial Hospital in East Los Angeles who recently appeared in a USA Facts Ad to talk about the realities of treating patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. In a conversation with California Black Media, Tambe spoke about the struggles of treating a virus whose full impact healthcare professionals have yet to determine. Over the past nine months of treating COVID-19 patients, Tambe has seen a variety of situations with her patients.

They range from those who recover in a couple of days, to those who were previously admitted to the hospital at the beginning of the pandemic and still come in for outpatient treatment for decreased lung or heart function. She emphasizes that the effects of COVID-19 vary from patient to patient. “We have a standardized treatment regimen for patients that come into the hospital, depending on the severity. We’ve got a whole algorithm that we follow, but even with the algorithm and these treatments, some patients get better and some just don’t. We have patients that we’re doing everything for and they’re not getting better,” she said. Tambe also shared her concerns about the upcoming winter and whether case numbers will continue to increase. She recommended against gathering in large groups. She also emphasized that people at least take the basic safety precautions, including wearing a mask and washing their hands regularly, to protect themselves and those around them. “There’s a 14-day incubation period with the disease. So even though you feel fine, one day you could travel or meet in a large group, and still be carrying the disease. So, you carry the disease, spread it to everybody and eventually your symptoms might come up, but you’ve already gotten others sick. That’s why it’s so important to take care, to be cautious,” she warned.

Yet even with that production and clinched a 6-6 record and bowl corresponding accolades, Williams eligibility for the Blazers for the first went undrafted in 2018. Still, he was time since 2004. undeterred by the obstacle. While UAB reversed course and

Like, never. I always have faith that something’s going to happen, and I never get caught up in, if a door closes or a door looks like it freezes, that that’s the end of it. I just always know it’s something that’s opening, there’s something that’s coming, and that’s how it always was. From UAB, to possibly going undrafted, then going undrafted, all that never really fazed me because I always knew I was going to have a shot.” He did get that shot, but much like his

reinstated the program six months later, the program wouldn’t actually play a season for another two years. Williams filled some of that time delivering flowers for an ACE Hardware store for a handful of months. He also had offers from Southern Miss, Troy and South Alabama following that 2014 season to continue his college career uninterrupted, but chose to remain with UAB. In UAB’s first season back in 2017, Williams was a Pro Football Focus First Team All-American and earned First Team All-Conference USA recognition after tying for fourth in the nation in interceptions (five), a figure which also led the conference.

on him. In all fairness, Lynn has tried to make it work with a depleted roster, rookie quarterback and new offensive coordinator. But that isn’t stopping fans from lobbying Lynn’ exit from the team. Regardless of the team shortage and disadvantages - fans continue to express how they feel towards Lynn’s coaching staff via social media. Some fans believe Lynn should be relieved of his duties as head coach before the season is over. Those fans must be clueless to what Lynn’s head coaching skills are and what he has done for The Bolts the past couple of season. Let’s take a trip down memory lane. Lynn kicked the season off 2017 with a rough start going 0-4 before finishing the season 9-7. The Chargers narrowly missed the playoffs because of a tiebreaker. In 2018, Lynn led the team to its first playoff appearance since 2013 finishing the season with a 12-4 record in just his second season at the helm. That same year, Lynn was selected Coach of the Year by the Los Angeles Sports
Council. The 2019 season was filled with highlights. Melvin Gordon and Keenan Allen each went to their third-straight Pro Bowl while Joey Bosa made his second appearance in three seasons. All of those accomplishments were under Lynn’s leadership. Now that we have pulled up some fact checking on Lynn’s coaching abilities, his job security should be more secure than unsecure. I don’t think Lynn deserves to get fired this season, let’s just put that out in the universe. However, he does have to get back to his winning ways or he could very much be without a job next year. At the end of the day- the Chargers are a well-coached football team. That has shown they can play winning football despite injuries. Three of their losses have been to Tom Brady, the Saints and the defending champs Kansas City, all games the Chargers led and lost in the closing stages of the game.. With that said, the vast majority still wants Lynn gone, but he isn’t going anywhere anytime soon so sit back and enjoy the ride.
cornerback tandem in Peters and Talib. Behind those third-year and 10-year veterans respectively were fifth-year pro Nickell Robey-Coleman and thirdyear pro Troy Hill. Consequently, Williams appeared in just one game in his first season with the Rams. However, just like he did before, he remained faithful his time would come, continuing to put in the work and prove himself. Rams head coach Sean McVay took notice during the team’s practices in the second half of that 2018 season. “He was locking our guys down going back to the ‘18 season, where he was on scout team,” McVay said during a video conference Friday. “You’d almost have to tell him, ‘Hey, take it easy, man. You’re going to shake our confidence going into this game.’” A year later, he caught wide receiver Robert Woods’ attention.
