American leadership secures Crenshaw Line station at Leimert Park Village Mayor Villaraigosa, Sup. Ridley Thomas and Council Pres. Wesson stand together in celebration of African American Culture that Resonates in Leimert Park Village

A REASON TO CELEBRATE: City Council President Herb Wesson thanks colleague Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and County Supervisor Chairman Mark Ridley-Thomas for their efforts in securing MTA approved funding for construction of the underground station at Leimert Park Village for the planned Crenshaw Line.

BY KENNETH MILLER ASSISTANT MANAGING EDITOR As the evangelical icon The Rev. Cecil ‘Chip’ Murray fired at 600 hundred elated supporters with three chants of “Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Hallelujah!” they joined elected officials and community leadership in celebrating approved funding for an underground station on the planned Crenshaw Line at historical Leimert Park Village, last week.

Acting on a motion co-sponsored by Supervisor Mark RidleyThomas, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and four other Metro directors, the board voted to include the Leimert Park Village station in the new Crenshaw-to-LAX light rail line after securing the necessary funding in its upcoming budget.

The most recent estimate for the Leimert Park station is $120 million, and Metro’s fiscal year 2014 budget contains $460.5 million in uncommitted funds—more than enough to safeguard against a significant cost overrun. Further burnishing the station’s funding prospects was the recent commitment by the Los Angeles City Council of $40 million toward the design and construction of the station.

Supervisor Ridley-Thomas, who is also on the Metro board and who has championed the Leimert Park station for years, greeted the vote with a deep sense of satisfaction and gratification.

Ridley Thomas stated; “I am delighted that the board has approved funding to make this historic community a train stop,” he said. “Leimert Park is an iconic neighborhood in Los Angeles. All we have ever said is that it should be treated on par with our county’s other great cultural landmarks. This was always a matter of will – a test of will. Because we knew there was a way to make this happen. This is

one case where it really did take a village to get a fair share for Leimert Park Village. It is a major achievement for those who have advocated for the station, for those who insisted that the Crenshaw line quite obviously had to stop in the heart of the Crenshaw community.”

Added Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, whose support for the Leimert Park station was crucial: “The fate of the Leimert Park Village station on the Crenshaw/LAX line has – up until today – been uncertain,” he said. “I am proud to say that both the City of Los Angeles and Metro have stepped up to the plate and committed a total of $120 million to fully fund the Leimert Park Village station. We worked together, we got creative, and we never gave up. I look forward to seeing the upcoming designs so that this project can move forward and serve our entire region.”

Rev. Murray began a celebration that almost never was. One that was stalled for two years in tangled negotiations and left on a respirator to die.

The 8.5-mile Crenshaw Line would run south from the Expo Line at Exposition Boulevard along Crenshaw Boulevard through Inglewood, terminating at the Green Line near LAX. “The announcement of funds to build an underground train station in Leimert Park Village along the Crenshaw Line is welcomed news for so many residents who have patiently and diligently worked to make this day possible. Leimert Park Village is a vitally important cultural destination in our community and construction of an underground station ensures this area continues to thrive and fully reap the economic benefits such a project can provide. I commend all of the local leaders both inside and outside of {See CRENSHAW LINE, Pg. 19}

Judge Greg Mathis and R&B Singer Goapele join the 31st Annual UNCF Walk for Education The two will participate in the walk, which raises thousands of dollars in scholarship money for college students

BY CHELSEA BATTLE LAWT CONTRIBUTING WRITER If you’re ready to support the higher education of our nation’s young Black scholars, you might wish to put on your walking shoes and/or get out your checkbook; The United Negro College Fund’s 31st Annual Walk for Education is only days away! On Saturday, June 1st join R&B songstress Goapele, reality court TV Judge Greg Mathis, rapper Warren G, Supervisor Mark RidleyThomas, thousands of college hopefuls, alumni, friends, and family for the event, which raises hundreds of thousands of dollars for college scholarships.

Judge Mathis is a true example of the power of education. Having once lived the street life and paid the price of incarceration, he shares how education turned his life around, and why fundraisers like these are important.

“I was invited by UNCF to join

the walk and I was glad to do it because of the challenges our young people face both getting into college and paying for it,” explains Judge Mathis. “Education was probably the most important factor in becoming the man I am today, in the sense that it empowered me to be able to overcome the obstacles I had to deal with. It’s difficult to join the work force without some type of education beyond high school. I wanted to be able to contribute to our young people and our community both financially and with my time.”

Goapele also shares why she has decided to walk.

“I think higher education, or at least the opportunity for higher education, is important for everyone.

Income, or a lack of it, can make a lot of people of color feel like they just can’t go to college. So I think UNCF has been out there as kind of a huge support system for African Americans to go to college for a

long time. I’ve recognized the brand for a while, so it seemed like something naturally that would be nice to be involved with.”

This year the walk will begin at 8:30am in Exposition Park at 700 Exposition Park Drive. The walk’s stage, and vendor booths will be located on the corner of Coliseum and South Menlo Avenue.

Organizers expect to raise over $200,000 in scholarship money, and have received the support of corporate sponsors such as BP, Toyota, American Airlines, and UPS—just to name a few. The money raised supports more than 3,000 students from California, and 60,000 students nationwide who go on to attend more than 800 colleges.

Previous student recipients have been awarded scholarships to some of the most prestigious historically Black colleges in the nation.

Scholars attending in-state schools, including UCLA, USC, and FIDM,

have also benefited. Additionally, the program supports students who choose to attend two year colleges.

“If the need is there and they are about to graduate from high school

we will help them,” says Carolyn Trader, the Development Director for UNCF. To register for the walk visit http://give.uncf.org/LAWALK or call (213) 639-3800.

Assemblymember Holly J. Mitchell African American leadership strong as ever runs for 26th Senate District Mitchell looks to occupy Senate seat to further the change for a better California BRIAN W. CARTER LAWT STAFF WRITER

Assemblymember Holly J. Mitchell analyst for the California Senate's Health and Human Services Committee where she was instrumental in helping keep health care initiatives alive.

Mitchell’s legislative accomplishments with the Western Center for Law and Poverty helped to create many programs including the Healthy Families program. She has also served as executive director of the Black Women's Health Project in Los Angeles. She currently chairs the Assembly's Budget Sub-committee #1 on Health & Human Services, a member of the Committees on Budget, Health, Insurance and Public Safety and Joint Legislative Budget Committee. Mitchell also chairs the California's Legislative Black Caucus (CLBC) and the Select Committee on Foster Youth,

business card bulletin board

As Senator Curren Price readies to transition to the Los Angeles City Council, Assemblywoman Holly J. Mitchell (D-54) has announced her bid for the 26th District seat.

Mitchell’s run for Senate will fall under the same umbrella she continues to hold for the state: edifying families and a healthier California.

Continuing a proud legacy of African American leaders, Mitchell, if elected, would follow City Council electMember Curren Price and Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas, both of whom have served the 26th District.

“When I ran three years ago, I ran on a platform of supporting working families and children,” said Mitchell.

“I have focused my three years, thus far, in the Assembly, on a platform where we looked at… building a healthy California, which means building healthy families.

A health and human services advocate, Mitchell has spent her career bringing awareness and shedding light on public affairs. She has worked in the district office in Los Angeles for State Senator Diane Watson. Mitchell served as a policy

and is a member of the Women's Legislative Caucus.

Elected in 2010 to the Assembly, representing the 54th District of Los Angeles, Mitchell serves a number of diverse communities, which include the Crenshaw District, Culver City, UCLA, Cheviot Hills, Mar Vista, the Fairfax District and parts of South Los Angeles.

“As chair of the budget subcommittee, I’ve worked really hard to make sure that the needs of working women and their children are made a top priority,” said Mitchell. One bill in particular Mitchell has been working on is in regards to hydraulic fracturing and that effect that could have on the community.

The agenda won’t change according to Mitchell who plans to continue to strive for better policies in California. She has proven to be a legislative heavyweight having had multiple bills signed by the governor of the state. Mitchell says you can expect the same kind of devotion and representation from the 26th District seat.

“The residents of the Senate District could expect a similar kind of platform and commitment from me,” said Mitchell.

Amongst the busy work of an Assemblymember, Mitchell makes time for her teenager. This serves as a front row view when it comes to issues such as quality and accessible health care in the educational systems. She’s about family because she understands it’s the building block of a healthy community, which leads to a healthy city and ultimately, a healthy state.

“A healthy family means, healthy environment, economy, bodies and looking at public safety as a health issue as well.”

election demonstrates power of Black vote

BY KENNETH D. MILLER ASSISTANT MANAGING EDITOR The results are in and the votes from the recent Los Angeles municipal elections have been tabulated and confirmed, but African American leadership have demonstrated their ability to deliver the Black vote on May 21st.

African Americans represent just 12 percent of the voting bloc in the City of Los Angeles, but still it is an influential and unified constituency that can impact the results of an election.

Blacks supported Controller Wendy Greuel by an overwhelming 71 percent according to The Thomas and Dorothy Leavey Center for the Study of Los Angeles at Loyola Marymount University, but she did not win. However that is because Greuel failed to win the majority of Latinos (60-40), whites (59-41), and barley won her home region of the San Fernando Valley 51-49 percent.

Greuel grew up in the Valley and represented that area when she served on the City Council.

The Black vote also substantiated itself in the race for 9th District City Council where Senator Curren Price defeated Ana Cubas 5,184 (52.75%) to 4,643 (47.24%), although Blacks are no longer the majority of the district.

Among the many Black community leaders and elected officials who rallied together for the municipal elections was former Lakers’ great and Dodgers owner Earvin ‘Magic’ Johnson, veteran Congresswoman Maxine Waters, Los Angeles County Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas, Bishop Charles E. Blake of West Angeles, John L. Mack of the Los

Angeles Police Commission, Watts community activist ‘Sweet’ Alice Harris, Sentinel Publisher Danny J. Bakewell Sr., former Congresswoman Diane Watson, Bishop Kenneth Ulmer, and former City Councilman Dave Cunningham who were all instrumental in delivering 69 percent of the Black vote for Greuel.

Mayor-elect Eric Garcetti was also supported by Blacks, such as Rep. Karen Bass, City Council President Herb Wesson, Councilwoman Jan Perry, actor Danny Glover and Black clergy leaders including Bishop T. Larry Kirkland, presiding bishop, 5th Episcopal District, A.M.E. Church, Pastor J. Edgar Boyd, senior minister, First A.M.E. Church, Rev. Kelvin Sauls, senior pastor, Holman United Methodist Church, Rev. Xavier Thompson, Southern Missionary Baptist Church and president, Baptist Ministers’ Conference of Los Angeles & Southern California and Rev. Eric P. Lee, president, Black Community, Clergy, Labor Alliance (BCCLA).

However, according to the study

by Loyola Marymount, which accurately predicted to election outcome, only 31 percent of Black voters punched a ballot for Garcetti.

Greuel won the AfricanAmerican vote by a whopping 69-31 percent, likely due to her connection to revered former Mayor Tom Bradley and endorsements from Magic Johnson and Congresswoman Maxine Waters.

While Black leadership was divided in the race for mayor where Garcetti won 181,995 (53.92 %) to Greuel’s 155,497 (46.07 %), they were all unified in their overwhelming support of Curren Price.

SAfrica: Mandela daughter Chicago man charged in talks about her father slaying of 6month-old girl

AP PHOTO/AP VIDEO

In this Friday, May 24, 2013 image made from AP Video, former South African President Nelson Mandela's daughter Makaziwe Mandela, speaks to the Associated Press, in Johannesburg, South Africa.

BY CHRISTOPHER TORCHIA ASSOCIATED PRESS Nelson Mandela, in the twilight of life, doesn’t talk much anymore, his eldest daughter says. But the former South African president, who wrote of his regret at being unable to devote himself to his family during the fight against apartheid and afterward, reaches out in another way.

“It’s the hand that he stretches out. It is the touching of the hand that speaks volumes for me. And for me, if you ask me what I would treasure, it is this moment that I treasure with my father,” said Makaziwe Mandela, the oldest of Mandela’s three surviving children, all daughters. “It means, ‘My child, I’m here.’ It means to me that, ‘I’m here. I love you. I care.’”

It could be the story of any family, this intimate encounter between an elderly parent beset by illness and a child with whom relations have, over many decades, been challenging or negligible. That the couple’s communication has become so elemental also sheds light on the fragile state of a larger-than-life figure, revered for his sacrifice during 27 years as a prisoner of apartheid and his peacemaking role in South Africa’s shift to a democracy inclusive of all races.

“My Dad has not been in good, perfect health over the past month.

And he has good days and he has bad days,” Makaziwe Mandela said earlier this month in an exclusive interview with The Associated Press in her home, where a bust of her father, made from bronze and the wood of a railway tie, sits on a piano in the foyer.

One of those bad days was April 29, when state television broadcast footage of a visit by President Jacob Zuma and other leaders of the ruling African National Congress to Mandela, who had helmed the ANC, at his Johannesburg home. Zuma

said Mandela was in good shape, but the footage — the first public images of Mandela in nearly a year — showed him silent and unresponsive, even when Zuma tried to hold his hand.

Makaziwe Mandela said her family is grateful that the “movement,” as she refers to the ANC leadership, still visits her father. The broadcasting of the video, however, was unfortunate, she said. Critics allege the ANC was trying to score political points by its association with Mandela. The party fiercely denies it.

“In previous visits, there was no need to take a picture. What happened this time, I don’t know,” said Makaziwe, a 59-year-old founder of a South African winemaking company that highlights two centuries of the family’s distinguished lineage in its branding. She is one of four children from her father’s first marriage to Evelyn Mase, which ended in divorce. The other three died — one in infancy, one in a car crash and one from an AIDS-related illness.

Makaziwe said the “dignity and privacy” of her father, also a father to the nation, is sometimes under threat, complaining that 20 journalists one day in May converged on her father’s home, where he receives medical treatment, after an ambulance left to fetch medicine from a hospital.

“This is really utter madness,” she said. “This thing that everybody has got to be the first one to hear when Nelson Mandela goes, it's not right. All of you will have your opportunity. You will get the news from the presidency at the right time.”

During Mandela’s recent hospitalization for pneumonia, which ended April 6, Zuma's office issued brief, regular updates on his health.

On some past occasions, conflicting reports from the government {See MANDELA DAUGHTER, Pg. 19}

(AP) — A Chicago man has been charged with killing a 6-month-old girl whose death earlier this year brought attention to gang violence on the city's South Side, prosecutors announced Monday.

Koman Willis, 34, is accused of killing the baby, who was shot on March 11 while sitting in her father’s lap in a minivan. Police say the baby’s father, Jonathan Watkins, was the intended target of the attack.

Willis is charged with firstdegree murder and aggravated battery with a firearm, said Sally Daly, a spokeswoman for the Cook County State’s Attorney's Office. A bond hearing is scheduled for Tuesday.

Watkins, who has a lengthy criminal record, was seriously wounded in the shooting.

Chicago police devoted large numbers of resources to finding a suspect in the shooting, which happened in the middle of the day in the city’s Woodlawn neighborhood.

In March, police Superintendent Garry McCarthy had said Watkins was cooperating with the investiga-

At the girl’s funeral, several people lamented the “code of silence” that keeps some residents from reporting crimes, cooperating with authorities or even fingering members of rival gangs who have targeted them.

Religious leaders speaking at the funeral service implored those in attendance to transform gang-riven neighborhoods.

The shooting came just weeks after a 15-year-old honors student was gunned down on a South Side street in an apparent case of mistaken identity.

Black Mayors rally to reclaim their organization

BY GEORGE E. CURRY NNPA EDITOR-IN-CHIEF WASHINGTON (NNPA) – With some embarrassing internal issues addressed and its sights set firmly on expanding its global impact, the National Conference of Black Mayors (NCBM) kicks off its 39th annual convention in Atlanta this Thursday.

The theme of this year’s conference is “Restore, Rebuild, Renew.”

And perhaps no one can appreciate the need for those three Rs more than Vanessa R. Williams, the association’s executive director and CEO. Williams, who supervises NCBM’s day-to-day operations, received a telephone call three years ago that caught her by surprise. On the other end of the telephone was an FBI agent. And more surprising than his call was what he was calling about.

“The FBI agent was very pleasant,” Williams recounted in an interview. “He identified himself as being with the FBI and asked if the organization had any accounts in the state of Louisiana. I told him ‘No,’ He said, ‘Are you certain of that?’ I said, ‘I am absolutely positive of that.’ As the CEO of the organization, there’s no way the board would allow that happen. We secured all accounts out of the national office [in Atlanta].

“He re-stated who he was and said there was an ongoing investigation against Mayor Grace and that this was an investigation that had gone on for over two or three years.”

Grace was mayor of St. Gabriel, La., a town of 6,777 people about 12 miles south of Baton Rouge. He was also president of the National Conference of Black Mayors. He was such a beloved and respected member of the organization that instead of being called Mayor Grace, he was known as Daddy Grace. But the FBI discovered that Daddy Grace had become a total disgrace – to his city, to the NCBM and to himself.

The FBI discovered that unknown to his fellow mayors, Grace had secretly registered the organization as a Louisiana nonprofit corporation in 2005 and renewed the application on Nov. 25, 2009, listing himself as the sole officer. He also opened an unauthorized bank account in the organization’s name.

According to those familiar with the investigation, Grace would contact sponsors, tell them that Williams was about to lose her job in the national office and they should send money directly to him in Louisiana. Because Grace was so trusted and held three keys position – president, treasurer and chairman of the fianance committee – he was able to dupe NCBM for a decade.

Grace was also siphoning off money from his city. He and four

CEO Vanessa R. Williams got unexpected call from FBI.

Mayor Kevin Johnson will be new NCBM president.

Mayor Robert Bowser Returned as president of NCBM. other small town mayors in Louisiana were ensnarled in an FBI sting operation. Grace, 69, was sentenced last year to 22 years in prison, fined $50,000 and forfeited $22, 000 after being convicted of violating the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations ACT

(RICO), bribery, obstruction of justice, mail fraud, wire fraud, making false statements, and use of an interstate facility in the aid of racketeering. In addition to illegally diverting money from NCBM, he was found guilty of extorting businessmen seeking to do business with the city and required kickbacks from operators setting up temporary housing in his city for victims of Hurricane Katrina.

The most remarkable thing about the organization is how a key group of leaders, placing their personal reputation on the line, rallied to stabilize and then revive the National Conference of Black Mayors.

Leading the charge was Mayor Robert Bowser of East Orange, N.J., its former – and soon to be future – president.

“Mayor Bowser was the president before, he got the organization in the black and then had to come back and rescue it again,” CEO Vanessa Williams said. “When everything happened with Mayor Grace, we needed someone who knew the organization. He was the one who preceded Mayor Grace.”

Also in the forefront to reclaim the NCBM was Kevin Johnson, mayor of Sacramento, Calif. and first vice president. Johnson, who is expected to be elected president of the group in Atlanta, told Williams, “I am here and I am going to be here for you.” And he was.

Surprisingly, about a half dozen long-time corporate sponsors – including Coca Cola, John Deere, Comcast, AT&T and United Water – did not abandon the Black mayors in their time of need. Some reduced their funding, waiting to see how the organization would rebound, but at least one increased its sponsorship dollars.

In a statement issued last week, the mayors said: “The Board of Directors of the NCBM realizes that these unfortunate events have not only unfairly harmed the organization, they have also created financial hardships for some of our valued friends and vendors. Like many Fortune 500 companies have done, we could have sought the protection of U.S. bankruptcy laws, thus drastically limiting our financial obligations. However, that is not the path we have chosen to take. All vendors who have done properly authorized work with or for us will be paid in full. We deeply apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your forbearance thus far.

“We are on target to repay at least 80 percent of all outstanding debts within the next 30 days and the remainder by the end of this year. Because the diverted money went to Mayor Grace and not to the NCBM, our legal counsel is working closely with the IRS to determine the extent of our financial liability under the U.S. tax code. Once that {See BLACK MAYORS, Pg. 8}

‘Food Stamps’ cuts will hurt poor Black families

BY FREDDIE ALLEN NNPA WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT WASHINGTON (NNPA) – Both the House and Senate have passed bills that would reduce funding of the Supplementary Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly called food stamps, but the extent of the cuts will not become known until negotiators from both chambers agree to a compromise measure.

SNAP was reduced as part of a 5-year House farm bill by $2 billon, slightly more than 3 percent. A similar farm bill passed by the Senate would reduce SNAP funding by $400 million a year, about half of 1 percent.

Both actions were taken last week.

By voice vote, the Senate also adopted a separate amendment that would prevent convicted murderers, rapists and pedophiles from receiving food stamps for life.

Robert Greenstein, president of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, said the amendment would likely have “strongly racially discriminatory effects.”

“The amendment would bar from SNAP (food stamps), for life, anyone who was ever convicted of one of a specified list of violent crimes at any time – even if the committed the crime decades ago in their youth and have served their sentence, paid their debt to society, and been a good citizen ever since,” Greenstein said in a statement.

He continued, “Given the incarceration patterns in the United States, the amendment would have a skewed racial impact. Poor elderly African Americans convicted of a single crime decades ago by segregated Southern juries would be among those hit.”

Greenstein’s group said the House version would slash $20 billion in spending from the program over the next decade, resulting in nearly 2 million people being kicked off of SNAP if the bill becomes law.

More than 200,000 children would lose free meals at school.

Poor families that have managed to scrape together a few thousand dollars for emergencies would get kicked off the program. Other families battling poverty would get kicked off of SNAP for owning a car.

“Many of these families would be forced to choose between owning a reliable car and receiving food assistance to help feed their families,” said the report by the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities.

The report also said, “The bill’s SNAP cuts would come on top of an across-the-board reduction in benefits that every SNAP recipient will experience starting November

1, 2013. On that date, the increase in SNAP benefits established by the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA) will end, resulting in a loss of approximately $25 in monthly SNAP benefits for a family of four. Placing the SNAP cuts in this farm bill on top of the benefit cuts that will take effect in November is likely to put substantial numbers of poor families at risk of food insecurity.”

According to experts, SNAP not only helps families keep food on the table, but also boosts the economy as low-income households pour money into the economy.

Feeding America, a domestic hunger-relief charity, reported that 1 in 4 Black households live with food insecurity issues compared to 1 in 10 White households. Thirtytwo percent of Black children don’t have adequate access to food compared to 16 percent of White children.

Republicans who supported the House Agriculture Committee bill lambasted the current spending levels in the program and Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) said that the growth in the program was responsible for expanding a “dependency class.”

A report by the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities published March 2013, titled “SNAP Is Effective and Efficient,” found a more likely culprit: the Great Recession.

“The number of people eligible for SNAP increased because of the recession and lagging recovery,” the report stated. “The number of people with income below 130 percent of poverty (the SNAP income limit) increased substantially, from 54 million in 2007, before the recession, to 60 million in 2009 and 64 million in 2011, allowing more households to qualify for help from the program.”

The Center report also found that, “The recent growth in SNAP spending is temporary. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) predicts that SNAP spending will fall as a share of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in coming years as the economy recovers and the Recovery Act provisions end.”

Amelia Kegan, a senior policy analyst at Bread for the World, a faith-based international organization that works to end hunger, said that SNAP’s ability to automatically adjust to meet the need of Americans struggling through the recession shows that the program is working.

“The food stamp program, the child nutrition program, and the school lunch programs were able to automatically respond and expand to address the spike in need,” said Kegan. “As the economy recovers and more people get back to work and don’t need these programs anymore, participation falls.” {See FOOD STAMPS, Pg. 19}

Dr. Willie J. Hagan named Activists push to limit solitary confinement for permanent president of CSU Dominguez Hills incarcerated youth LAWT NEWS SERVICE

staff and attorneys.

Youth would be held only to address the safety risk and, if law, would require facilities to report on when the special imprisonment was used, including demographics and the length of confinement.

As a government agency, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) typically doesn’t take a position on pending legislation and has no position on SB61, a spokesperson informed.

In 2011, a CDCR internal audit found that youth were often locked up in their cells for over 21 hours a day, according to a fact sheet provided by Sen. Yee. The document continued, in one 15-week period, there were 249 incidents of solitary confinement, and in one case, a youth received only one hour out of his cell in a 10-day period. In local juvenile facilities, there have been reports of youth locked up in isolation for 23 hours a day.

Tanisha Denard was among them, she told a Senate Public Safety Committee during a recent hearing.

Arrested at school for fighting, Denard said she was put on probation. A series of truancy tickets for being late landed her in Los Angeles County juvenile hall on a probation violation, according to the youth.

Negative experiences behind bars rendered her distant. She wouldn’t eat. She became unsure and uncomfortable but, instead of trying counsel her, staff just stopped talking to her, the 19-year-old alleged.

“I guess the staff thought I was depressed, so then they put me on lockdown for real - no cell mate, no dayroom time, no hope,” Denard continued.

“It is by far the worst feeling I had ever experienced...From 8 p.m. or 9 p.m. until 6 a.m., you are locked into a single person cell that looks exactly like the box. It’s also freezing, and if you’re found with an extra blanket or sweatshirt, you are accused of having contraband and punished,” she continued.

LOS ANGELES-Youth advocates, activists and lawmakers are pushing for a bill that would set clear standards to help limit solitary confinement of youth in all state and county facilities.

Authored by Senator Leland Yee, the bill seeks to establish a legal definition of the tactic widely condemned as torture and overused in California’s juvenile justice systems, according to advocates.

Solitary confinement contributes to recidivism, mental illness and youth suicides, particularly because weak standards and guidelines allow different departments extreme leeway to determine how the measure can be used, expressed Kim McGill of the Youth Justice Coalition.

“The bill’s also important because it says that solitary confinement will only be used when a young person poses an immediate or substantial risk of harm to others, so it can’t be used for punishment,” McGill stated.

Solitary confinement cannot be used because staff need a break from a young person or doesn’t know what to do with mental health issues, she continued.

At press time, SB61 supporters were on a phone drive to help get the bill out of the Senate and on to the California State Assembly, where the process would start all over again.

The next two to three months of work is worth the effort to get SB61 passed because it would clearly define the measure and severely limit how it can be used, McGill stated.

“We would like to eliminate it all together...There are federal guidelines and state guidelines that can be applied in some ways but the ones around solitary confinement are way too loose and way too vague,” she argued.

SB61 would specifically define solitary confinement as the involuntary placement in a room or cell in isolation from persons other than {See SOLITARY CONFINEMENT, Pg. 19}

At its morning meeting today, The California State University Board of Trustees appointed Dr. Willie J. Hagan as the permanent president of California State University, Dominguez Hills, effective immediately. Hagan has served as interim president since June 2012.

“To say I am honored to have been appointed as president of CSU Dominguez Hills would be an understatement,” Hagan said. “I look forward to continuing to work with our gifted faculty, dedicated staff, and inspirational students to advance this remarkable institution and our students.”

Hagan’s leadership at CSU Dominguez Hills in the past 11 months has been marked with an unwavering commitment toward student academic success and focused on dramatically improving graduation rates and time to degree.

He successfully increased transparency in university governance and identified and reallocated university resources to support strategic

priorities, including investing in faculty and staff hiring, instructional and laboratory equipment, information technology, and proven highimpact student success programs.

Before coming to CSU Dominguez Hills, Hagan served as interim president at CSU Fullerton effectively moving the campus forward during a time of significant transition. He initially joined Fullerton in 1996 as vice president for administration and subsequently served as vice president of university advancement from 2000 to 2003, and from 2005 to 2011 as chief financial officer and vice president of administration and finance, overseeing Fullerton’s $380 million business enterprise and successfully leading the campus during a period of unprecedented state budget instability and record enrollment growth.

“President Hagan had done an exceptional job of working with faculty, staff and students and engaging the community during his service as interim president,” said CSU Board of Trustee Chair Bob Linscheid.

“His leadership skills will be a key asset to the university as it continues

Dr. Willie J. Hagan to grow and meet the needs of the community.”

Hagan holds a doctorate in psychology from the University of Connecticut and a Master of Fine Arts degree from University of California, Los Angeles. Before his tenure in the CSU, he served as associate vice president for administration at the University of Connecticut, and as a government relations representative for that institution and the Connecticut Board of Governors of Higher Education at the state and federal level.

The state of equality and justice in Black students flock to America: The presumption of guilt STEM fields, yet business lobby pushes for more temporary workers

BY CONGRESSMAN JOHN LEWIS AND BRYAN STEVENSON SPECIAL TO THE LAWT After serving 42 years in an Arizona prison for a crime he didn't commit, a 58-year-old man was finally released this April. When Louis Taylor was just 16, he ventured out of his comfort zone to try a happy hour advertised by an upscale Tucson hotel, a typical foray for an adventurous teenage boy. Unfortunately, that night a fire broke out that ultimately claimed 29 lives. In that moment, Taylor stopped being typical and became extraordinary. He did not run from the danger as most people would. Instead he took responsibility.

He was spotted during the crisis busily helping people escape the flames, escorting guests to safety and assisting people on stretchers.

Ordinarily, he would have been hailed a teenage hero for demonstrating a civic duty only expected of grown men. Yet eyewitness accounts of his beyond-the-call-of-duty service were not credited as outstanding demonstrations of good character. To police and even some bystanders his very presence made him automatically suspect. More than the possibility that he could have saved someone's life, people were consumed by their sense that he “did not belong in a fancy Tucson hotel.”

The forensic evidence suggested faulty electrical wiring or some building defect as the likely cause, not arson, but scientific facts could not derail a hardwired determination that because Taylor was black, he had to be at fault. His youth, his innocence, and even his dramatic work to save and comfort the victims were imperceptible and irrelevant.

Outraged citizens wanted the death penalty. A profiler was brought in who swore under oath that the likely perpetrator was “a black teenager.”

Taylor was convicted by an all-white jury and sentenced to multiple life sentences, ensuring he would die in prison. Fortunately, the Arizona Justice Project recently took up the case. New research from the National Academy of Science proved there was no evidence of arson in the fire.

Wrongly convicted, Taylor was finally released-42 years later.

It would be hard to call Mr. Taylor lucky, but the truth is thousands just like him, including innocent children, are being victimized by a presumption of guilt that never sees black and brown youth as blameless, as engaged in proverbial “good, clean, fun”, as harmless. Instead it attributes to them every violence and vice, even if those suspicions contradict the facts.

For nearly 50 years, starting in the 1920s, America maintained a prison population of close to 200,000 people. Today we have the highest incarceration rate in the world with 2.3 million people in jails or prison. One out of three black boys born in 2001 is likely to serve time in jail or prison during his lifetime. Half of our incar-

cerated are imprisoned for non-violent drug crimes. While African American and Latino teens are less likely to abuse drugs and alcohol than whites, they are 3-4 times more likely to be arrested, convicted or sent to jail or prison for non-violent drug offenses. The violent crime rate in America is the same as it was in 1968, yet our prison system has grown by over 500 percent.

The presumption of guilt follows too many poor and minority children to school, a place where children should be nurtured and supported, not criminalized and incarcerated. Yet the pipeline from school to jail is so insidious, many parents now fear schools as much as they fear the criminal justice system.

In 2012, the Justice Department sued school officials in Meridian, Mississippi for systematically incarcerating black and disabled children for days at a time for minor dress code infractions like wearing the wrong color socks or talking back to the teacher. According to the American Civil Liberties Union, children have been expelled for giving Midol to classmates, bringing household goods to school for Goodwill donations and scissors to class for an art project. Recently, one black Florida during a science experiment.

Children as young as five years old are being led out of classrooms in handcuffs for acting out or throwing temper tantrums. They have been arrested for throwing an eraser at a teacher, breaking a pencil, and having rap lyrics in a locker. Black children constitute 18 percent of the nation's public school population but 40% of the children who are suspended or expelled.

In Arizona, Alabama, Georgia and a growing number of states, legally sanctioned racial profiling has been resurrected leading Latinos particularly, and other U.S citizens of color, to fear harassment, suspicion and detention.

In New York City between 2002 to 2011, 90 percent of the city’s notorious ‘stop and frisk’ victims have

been Black and Latino residents. In 88 percent of those stops, people of color were found to be innocent of any wrongdoing.

In the year when this nation will celebrate the Supreme Court’s historic ruling to create a right to counsel for indigent people accused of crimes, protections for the poor and innocent are almost non-existent. In a courtroom, where justice should be blind, the presumption of guilt is especially dangerous. Today too many innocent prisoners like Taylor are trapped by systemic pressure to plead guilty in a system where 96 percent of all convictions are rendered by plea bargains.

The Innocent Defendant’s Dilemma, a recent study, describes how the blameless, particularly those who are poor, find it an onerous, nearly impossible burden to prove their innocence. With few resources for defense, they find themselves trapped by a system that presumes their guilt.

Since the odds seem hopelessly stacked against them, many innocent individuals reluctantly plead guilty to avoid the longest prison terms or even death. Innocent victims lose years in prison, face rejection because of criminal records, and many never reach their potential.

We have come a great distance in the last 50 years, but we still have not fully escaped the miseducation and distortions created by America’s policies of racial injustice. These problems demand remedies, and we must admit this nation may require some form of therapy before we can freely reconcile ourselves to a better future informed by the truth surrounding present human rights abuses and those of the past.

Despite progress, in the last 50 years we have retreated from an honest conversation about racial and economic justice, and have opted instead for mass criminalization and incarceration leaving many poor and minority people marginalized and condemned. As Taylor’s story reminds us, out of sight is hardly out {See LEWIS/STEVENSON, Pg. 19}

Over last weekend, young people watched or read about President Obama speaking at Morehouse College and first lady Michelle Obama addressing the graduates of Bowie State University. Hopefully they were inspired by seeing so many young and gifted people finishing the course they chose to follow. Well, here is a little known set of facts.

Those colleges are both historically Black colleges-known as HBCUs-and they graduate a disproportionate share of the nation’s Black science, technical, engineering and math majors-the very majors everyone points to as the skills America will need to succeed.

And, it turns out, HBCUs are important because those fields are the backbone of the new Black middle class.

More Blacks work in computerrelated occupations than are employed as elementary and middle school teachers or postal workers.

And, like those students at Morehouse and Bowie State, Black college students are more likely to choose computer science as a major than White students. In part because of the high share of blacks who major in computer science and because of the large number of Black college students, there are more baccalaureate degrees awarded to African-Americans than to Asian-Americans in computer science.

Now, a great challenge lies ahead. Having found a path to the middle class through education and training, business interests are pushing hard in Congress to import temporary workers to do computerbased jobs. This while there are still 20,000-plus fewer Blacks employed as computer programmers and systems analysts since their employment peaked in 2008.

But, while those workers continue to search to get back to the high-tech jobs they trained for, we have seen businesses increase

requests for H-1B visas (visas for high-tech workers). And now the Senate Judiciary Committee adopted ludicrous amendments, introduced by Sen. Orrin Hatch (RUtah) in the immigration bill, that refuse to give America’s workers a first shot at these jobs. These amendments would even allow businesses to fire American workers and replace them with temporary workers.

The AFL-CIO is fighting to restore some reason here. We need to protect American workers’ huge investment in college loans to get trained in computer and science skills the country needs, while providing a road map to citizenship for all aspiring Americans.

So, the AFL-CIO is challenging Sen. Hatch and the business lobby to make sure there are safeguards to keep a path to the middle class open.

At least 300 mayors are expected to attend the convention from abroad, most of them from Nigeria, Senegal, Uganda, Columbia and throughout the Caribbean.

For the first time in months, Williams, who agreed to work pro bono during the toughest financial stretch, is upbeat and smiling.

“You can’t prove the folks who left right,” she said. “We’re going to fight through this and say, ‘With God’s help, this, too, shall pass.’”

L.A. Watts Times WEEKENDER

BY JENNIFER BIHM | LAWT EDITOR aving already knocked out incumbent Mayor Eric Perrodin, young and polished urban planner Aja Brown has set her sights on another former mayor of the Hub City in her quest to become the second woman in the history of Compton in the June general election.

“I believe Compton is a beautiful city,” said Brown who is running against Omar Bradley to become Compton’s next mayor.

“I believe it’s neglected [but] I still think it has a huge opportunity to be a world class city…”

At 31, Brown is city’s youngest mayoral candidate to since 1973. She’s new to the political scene, but as a third generation resident (her grandmother and mother grew up there) and city employee, she knows exactly the kinds of changes Compton needs.

“A lot of issues that we have in the city are not because we don’t have the funds, the finances or the ability, but we just really need to have a new system in place,” said Brown during an interview with the Social Justice Coalition posted on her oƥcial campaign website.

“All of our systems are thirty years old. Our general plan is 30 years old…

That’s the policy document that really guides the community forward. We don’t have a zoning ordinance, which is the legal tool that cities can use to move the community forward. We don’t have things like a capital improvement plan, which really is your public works blue print for how you improve your city.

A native, Brown was born in Compton, but her mother moved the family to Pasadena after her grandmother was murdered in her home, she said during an interview.

After earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Public Policy, Urban Planning and Development and a Master’s degree in Urban Planning with a concentration in Economic Development from the University of Southern California in 2005, she began her career as an urban planning commissioner in earnest.

She has worked in Pasadena and Gardena and has been living in Compton with her husband Van Brown for the last four years.

Brown cites corrupt politicians and mismanagement of funds as blame for Compton’s misfortunes, but she is willing and ready to change that. Her vision is to have a plan in place to mitigate all of that. It involves youth and economic development and crime reduction. She also wants to “re brand” Compton and restructure its government operations she said.

www.lawattstimes.com

“I'm a trained planner, with deep Compton roots, who's worked to bring the employer community, labor unions, youth people, seniors, and the religious community together for job growth and business development.”

“Youth Development initiatives, collaboration and direct investment will mitigate crime, improve educational attainment and create positive outlets to develop the city’s next generation,” according to Brown.

“So, when we look at the city of Compton, you know the people who live here, we love our city and we have a lot of pride about our community but the infrastructure, our streets, our roads, the cleanliness, the crime, you know the graƥti, the lack of healthy food options, the lack of entertainment options… we really are living in a vacuum. And I say that in respect to the communities that surround us. The city of Compton is one of the oldest communities and largest metropolitan areas in Los Angeles County, but yet when we look at the cities of Carson, Gardena, Paramount… they’ve been able to do some things that Compton hasn’t been able to do like keep the city maintained and cleaned.”

She believes youth development will have an immediate impact on the quality of Compton’s school system and wants to reach youth at every stage of their educational development to transform schools.

“Strong communities are built on strong families and strong families are more apt to locate in communities with thriving schools,” she beleives She has clear cuts goals about reducing crime in the City.

“Establishing a strong partnership with the Los Angeles County Sheriơ’s Department (LASD) is critical. Partnering with LASD to create a city-specific community policing infrastructure will facilitate an information sharing and data tracking model for Compton (modeled after the City of Baltimore’s CitiStat Program) will enhance existing crime reduction strategies.”

Another priority is “rebranding” the city, which has long held a reputation for being synonymous with crime and corruption: “The ‘ReThink Compton’ branding campaign will include a variety of projects to showcase the positive aspects, people, and progress of the city through various media formats and partnerships.

“The internal strategy will incorporate intra-community marketing to connect residents with local resources, goods and services.”

Moreover, “The external strategy will focus on reconstructing Compton’s image through a variety of means, including positively marketing the many great initiatives and achievements throughout our community,” Brown added.

“I believe I will be one of the first mayors to really focus on policies. We’ve had some mayors do some good programs but we really need to look at the policies in the city of Compton,” she explained.

“The city of Compton is really a jewel of L.A. County. We have a huge industrial base. We’re the hub city because everything comes through Compton. We have 50 percent of the world’s trade because of the ports of Los Angeles County they go straight through Compton. We have rail lines, we have our own airports, golf course. We have our own water system… [But] we’ve mismanaged and we’ve missed a lot of opportunities. We’ve had failed leadership and an unstable government so, I’m running to really put some stability back in city government and make sure that City Hall is transparent and inclusive of all people.”

Economic revitalization will be another major priority in her administration. “We'll focus on making Downtown a center of activity that is transit accessible and well planned.”

Brown says small businesses will power our economic revival and big businesses will employ our residents.”

“A city with strong leadership at the policy making level will bring a new sense of purpose and hope to all stakeholders.”

“Residents, businesses, community, and Compton's children deserve leadership that can deliver and re-write our civic narrative to be business friendly, building pathways to the middle class, and with quality educational opportunities for every child.”

While some many consider Brown a newcomer to politics, she is not a without the support of Los Angeles County Board of Supervisor Chairman Mark Ridley-Thomas and other prominent organizations, and perhaps she is just right for Compton as it’s next mayor.

Raiders CB hospitalized with abdominal injury Jim Brown returns to

BY JOSH DUBOW AP SPORTS WRITER

ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) — Oakland Raiders first-round draft pick D.J. Hayden’s comeback from a near-fatal practice injury last year was dealt a setback when he was hospitalized with an abdominal injury that is expected to keep him sidelined until at least training camp.

Coach Dennis Allen said Tuesday at the start of Oakland’s second week of OTAs that Hayden first felt symptoms last Tuesday or Wednesday. The cornerback was hospitalized late last week and had surgery to remove scar tissue from the abdominal region. The Raiders said they don’t know when Hayden will be released from the hospital.

Allen said he did not know if the latest injury was related to the torn blood vessel that nearly killed Hayden last November after a practice collision with a teammate at Houston.

“We can’t rule that out, obviously, but right now I don’t know exactly what the correlation is to it,” Allen said. “But we don’t anticipate it being an issue.”

Hayden was rushed into surgery last year for a tear of the inferior vena cava, the large vein that carries blood from the lower half of the body to the heart, after the collision. Doctors had to cut through Hayden’s sternum to

In this April, 26, 2013, file photo, Oakland Raiders first-round draft pick D.J. Hayden listens during a news conference at the team’s NFL football training facility in Alameda, Calif. save him. The injury is 95 percent fatal in the field, according to doctors, and is most commonly associated with high-speed motor vehicle accidents.

The Raiders selected Hayden 12th overall with their first first-round pick since 2010 in hopes of adding a major piece in an effort to rebuild the defense.

Hayden played 22 games at Houston, intercepting six passes that he returned for three touchdowns. He also recovered three fumbles and forced six before his senior season was cut short by the injury.

Hayden made his return to the field at a three-day rookie minicamp earlier this month and also participat-

ed in part of last week’s OTA before being sidelined.

“It’s obviously not a good thing, from a football standpoint,” Allen said. “As a rookie, you need all the reps you can get and all the work you can get.”

Safety Usama Young said he knew Hayden wasn’t feeling good on the field last week but did not know the extent of it until Tuesday. He exchanged text messages with Hayden.

“He says he is doing a lot better,” Young said. “I’m looking forward to him being back out there with us. It took me by surprise. I didn’t think he was that sick.”

The other notable news Tuesday was the first practice for defensive back Charles Woodson, who signed as a free agent last week to return to the team that drafted him fourth overall in 1998.

Woodson signed a one-year deal worth up to $4.3 million seven years after leaving Oakland as a free agent for Green Bay. Woodson got work at both strong and free safety in his first practice as the Raiders try to get him up to speed.

“It feels good to put the silver and black back on,” Woodson said. “It”s been a long time. I look good in silver and black, so it feels good to be back.”

Browns as ‘special adviser’

AP PHOTO/DAVID RICHARD

Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam, right, laughs with Hall of Fame running back Jim Brown at a news conference naming Brown as a special adviser to the NFL football team Wednesday, May 29, 2013, in Cleveland.

BY TOM WITHERS AP SPORTS WRITER CLEVELAND (AP) — As outspoken, unapologetic and intimidating as ever – even at age 77 – Jim Brown has reunited with the Cleveland Browns.

Still going strong, the great No. 32 is back where he belongs.

“Here I am,'” he said.

The Hall of Fame running back, who was estranged for years from the NFL team where he starred in the 1950s and ’60s – after his previous role was eliminated by former president Mike Holmgren – was welcomed back to the Browns on Wednesday by new owner Jimmy Haslam. Brown will serve as a “special adviser,” focusing on community work, interacting with fans and helping mentor players.

Haslam called Brown’s return a “very special and significant day in Cleveland Browns history.” Brown’s homecoming has been in the planning stages for months, and after a few meetings with Brown, Haslam was pleased to bring back “the greatest Brown of all.”

“He’s not only the most famous Cleveland Brown of all time and best player that’s ever played here,” Haslam said. “One of the reasons the Browns remain so popular is when a lot of us were growing up, they followed 32 and he was their hero. So to have 32 back on our team and working with us and being part of not just the Browns but the Cleveland community is tremendously important.”

Brown, who retired in 1965 at the peak of his playing career to become an actor, is thrilled to be again working for the Browns, his pro football family and the team he helped lead to its last championship in 1964. The years he was disconnected were difficult, but Brown, who was accompanied to the news conference at FirstEnergy Stadium by his wife, Monique, said the Haslam family’s desire to bring him back soothed any hard feelings he may have had.

“I’ve been through many ups and downs here,” Brown said. “I like the new ownership. I respect the new ownership. I will stand by the new

ownership come hell or high water, and I will be doing everything in my power to help the Cleveland Browns be successful.”

Brown said being away from the beloved brown and orange was tough.

“Nothing’s changed except I was off the payroll and out of town and it was not a good feeling because I’m used to being around,” he said. “I have no animosity, I have no thoughts on any of that because this is a tough game. The main thing is, I’m very happy to have been invited back.”

Although he lives in Los Angeles, Brown vowed to have a constant presence with the Browns, who haven’t been able to win with any consistency since their expansion return in 1999.

“You will see as much of me as they can stand because somehow, sometimes I wake up thinking I’m the coach and it doesn’t work that way,” Brown said. “I’m going to be here quite a bit and I will be on call to the Cleveland Browns first. My activities, whatever, will take a secondary position to the needs of the Cleveland Browns.”

Never one to mince his words or hold back on an opinion, Brown promised to continue being himself in his new position with Haslam, who bought the franchise last year from Randy Lerner.

“I wouldn’t be sitting here if there was not a relationship between the two of us,” Brown said, with Haslam seated to his left. “Jimmy doesn’t bite his tongue, so I kind of like that. I try not to bite mine, as most of you know.

But I think with Jimmy I will be a little more under control.”

“I doubt it,” Haslam said with a laugh.

While Brown’s return has given Haslam a boost with the Browns, he remains embroiled in a federal investigation for alleged fraud at Pilot Flying J, his family-owned truck-stop chain. On Wednesday, two PFJ employees pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and conspiracy. Federal prosecutors allege members of Pilot's sales team deliberately withheld rebates to boost profits. {See JIM BROWN, Pg. 13}

Ringmaster Andre McClain ready to amaze for Ringling Bros.

Black cowboy completes 10-year journey of commitment

LAWT NEWS SERVICES A ten-year journey of commitment, ambition and perseverance has paved Andre McClain’s way to becoming the Ringmaster for the 143rd Edition of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® Presents Built To Amaze!S In addition to being a Ringmaster, Andre McClain is an accomplished animal trainer, cowboy, rodeo star, country singer and songwriter, and above all, an admired dad. This rancher has been around horses and rodeos since he was a baby, and is a descendant from a long, distinguished AfricanAmerican cowboy heritage that dates back to the early 1900’s. Now in Ringling Bros. Presents Built To Amaze!, Andre truly represents a hip throwback to the origins of a Ringmaster by donning a spectacular gentleman's riding habit and directing the performance, exotic animal, and equestrian presentations.

Raised on a ranch in Kansas City, Missouri, Andre began riding bucking ponies and steers at the age of five. A rodeo competitor himself, Andre’s father, Lu, founded the Bill Pickett Rodeo in 1984, which was America’s first all-Black touring rodeo, and where Andre made his competitive debut at just sevenyears-old.

Andre took pride in his cowboy heritage; he even rode his horse to high school every day! Andre “parked” his steed on the soccer field, and tended to him between classes. Andre’s college days were spent more conservatively at the University of Missouri, Kansas City, and although initially a vocal

Jim Brown {Continued from page 12} Brown has also had his share of legal troubles, including a string of arrests for assaults on women. He vowed his full sport of Cleveland’s embattled owner and said the timing of his return could help comfort Haslam, who has maintained he was unaware of any fraud.

music major, he received a degree in Business Management in 2000.

After school, Andre joined the International Professional Rodeo Association, and continued to compete in rodeo circuits. He taught himself a variety of “Wild West Arts” and took his one man show on tour with his father’s rodeo. In 2002, Andre visited the 132nd Edition of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® to conduct research on stilts for a new routine he was considering for his show.

During a behind-the-scenes chat with some of the clowns who used stilts in their act, his animal training background caught the attention of show personnel. In a twist of fate, he was offered a job working with the show’s exotic animal staff.

At the end of the tour, Andre auditioned his one-man act before Ringling Bros. producer Kenneth Feld and landed a position as the host of the 133rd Edition’s Three Ring Adventure now known as the All Access Pre-show. In the past ten years, Andre’s repertoire expanded from pre-show host to presenting and demonstrating the bond that he has with animals from horses and miniature hoofstock to camels.

Andre’s perseverance has resulted not only in his passion to have achieved the most recognized role at Ringling Bros. but also in matters of the heart. Andre, after two years of waiting, convinced the woman of his dreams, Daniele who also performs with Ringling Bros., to marry him. The newlywed couple are more excited than ever to build their life as husband and wife when The Greatest Show On Earth! launches Built To Amaze! in 2013.

“That is my guy,” Brown said. “I have a relationship with him. I believe in him. I stand behind him.

Yes, I’m glad this timing is the way it is. I'm here, I believe in this man and that’s it. I have been through a thousand things, but ultimately I turned out to be a decent human being.

Volatile and involved in controversial things and so forth and so on, but in America that’s the kind of country we have.”

Reports say Jennifer Hudson will return to ‘Idol’ as a judge SPECIAL TO THE NNPA FROM THE ST. LOUIS AMERICAN According to E! News and several other media outlets, Jennifer Hudson will return to her American Idol roots as a judge next season.

Multiple sources confirmed to the entertainment news and celebrity gossip site that the Oscarwinning singer has signed a deal to sit at the judges’ table this fall for season 13.

Two spots are also intended for former Idol contestants: Kelly Clarkson and either Adam Lambert or Clay Aiken.

E! News says that sources tell them Clarkson is close to signing on, but there is no word on whether Aiken or Lambert will fill the third chair.

In addition to the recently rotating judges’ chairs, E! News says that the panel will return to PHOTO BY JORDAN STRAUSS/INVISION/AP its original format of three members.

Jennifer Hudson arrives at the world premiere of “Call Me Information from E! News contributed to this Crazy: A Five Film” at the Pacific Design Center on Tuesday, report.

Raiders {Continued from page 12} Player of the Year. He has 55 career interceptions, 17 sacks, 24 forced fumbles and 11 interception returns for touchdowns in eight seasons in Oakland and seven in Green Bay. He played just seven games last year because of a broken collarbone but brings leadership and playmak-

ing ability to a rebuilding defense that was lacking both.

“He’s a legend,” linebacker Nick Roach said. “He’s a living legend that is still playing, still playing at a high level. I played against him many a time when I was back in Chicago. I think it’s going to be great for the locker room just having that experience and having that knowledge.”

Woodson practiced with a jersey with no number. He wants to get his

old No. 24 uniform back but cornerback Tracy Porter is currently wearing that number.

“It wasn’t waiting for me at my locker, so I’ll have to negotiate that, for sure,” Woodson said.

NOTES: Among the other Raiders who are sidelined are Porter (calf), CB Coye Francies (illness), DL Stacy McGee (foot), LB Miles Burris (knee) and TE Nick Kasa (hamstring).

‘This Is Why You’re Broke!’

By Charlene Muhammad Sentinel Contributing Writer When some people utter, “This is why you’re broke,” chances are it’s because they wanted something monetary they couldn’t get from you. So, in retaliation, they scruti-

nized your in-their-face purchase for not getting it.

That’s just this writer’s simple theory on why we hear those stinging words. However, for those seeking a more honest, researched, wellrounded and grounded - just the plain ‘ol truth - analysis about why

their “deep” pockets are really empty, Jarim Person-Lynn saves the day.

In “This is Why You’re Broke,” a 12 Step Guide to Defeating Your Own Worst Financial Habits, Person-Lynn uses vocabulary, humor, and real straight talk to

shake people out of bad debt-forming habits.

“The original plan back in 2010, once I had grown pretty popular for my one-on-one consultations in my home, was to start teaching personal finance classes at the local community center. These classes were to be in conjunction with my father's (historian Dr. Kwaku Person-Lynn) Afrikan World Civilization classes,” states Person-Lynn on how he started this venture.

“I researched other successful financial classes/workshops such as Robert Kiyosaki's and Dave Ramsey's and realized that even though those classes weren't catering to the needs of the black community, they were in fact successful because they were each centered around a very popular book or manual,” he shares.

That’s all he was missing, a book or manual.

But, he didn’t jump right into releasing an untested book out of the blue, he explains. He started first with the blog “Thisiswhyyourebroke.com” and began testing various sections of the book in progress. Information gained through his very clever use of social media transformed into the five course guide, “Brass Knuckle Finance.”

That guide and a subsequent five-week course handled topics entitled, “How your Mentality, health and environment affect your Wealth,” “The art of Budgeting and Spending,” “Getting out of Debt & Staying out of Debt,” “College, Entrepreneurship & Career,” and “Investing & Real Estate.”

“Part of the original premise for the classes were to provide classes to those who were fed up with their financial situations and willing to make a change. In exchange for providing these free classes to anyone who purchased a book, we asked them once they were done with our classes, to pass that book along to the next person in the community and have them attend our classes for free as well,” Person-Lynn explains.

But, he would notice that the 392 page book would be very popular with the first person who obtained it but it was a hard sell for the next friend or family member they would attempt to pass it to.

He formed the idea to simplify the message into a quick, easy to read, easy to pass along book that would become the namesake of the original blog: "This is Why You’re Broke."

So frank, Person-Lynn even labels the book on his website, “A Comprehensive Guide to Your Own Financial Stupidity.”

His ultimate aim: to help stop others from being their own worst enemy each month and to begin building a better financial future immediately.

Being broke isn’t simply the lack of having money, he offers.

“Broke” means not having the specific amount of money to do things you may want or need to do in life, he explains.

“Broke is one part math and one part mentality,” Person-Lynn writes.

“Remember, there are millionaires who are broke: billionaires with depreciating assets and ever growing expenses, who are broke,” he continues in his easy-to-read financial planner.

In essence, being broke is more about what’s eating people internally, what society has told them they need, and, what they plan to do to prove it right, he states.

If people master the 12 most dangerous areas of their financial lives, which include rent, cars, debt and food, they would then master their money, according to PersonLynn.

The author recommends keeping rents at certain monthly percentages to reduce overall debt and struggle. He also gives guidelines for obtaining home-ownership rather than home-loanership. And, he breaks down steady steps for obtaining rental property as a source of real income.

Without careful attention to certain details, the property could become more of a loss than gain, he explains in the guide.

“The person (or couple) who avoids debt, lives on half of their income and learns how to invest the rest, will be wealthier than just about everyone they know ...

Remember: You were NOT born to struggle,” he concludes in his guide.

Mandela Daughter {Continued from page 5} contributed to mistrust between authorities and the media.

Fascination with Mandela stems from the sense that he is on a par with others whose human shortcomings were overshadowed by their contributions to humanity, including Indian independence hero Mohandas Gandhi and American civil rights leader Martin Luther King.

South Africa has held peaceful elections and is a major economic force in Africa, but struggles with high unemployment, crime and corruption. Nelson Mandela embodies a morality and unity of purpose that makes South Africans nostalgic for an earlier era of promise.

“He has something that people gravitate to, that they can hold to, that gives them hope,” said Makaziwe Mandela, comparing him to Mother Teresa. “That’s what Nelson Mandela has done, is to give people a better hope that, ‘I can be somebody. Life today can be better than yesterday.’”

Makaziwe’s home is in a comfortable suburb of Johannesburg that, as she pointed out, was barred to blacks in the apartheid era. Sculptures — a gift from Gabon, presents

Crenshaw Line {Continued from page 2} government who have fought and believed in this project from day one.

I will do all that I can to further support the construction of this station in the months ahead,” said Karen Bass in a statement.

During a Metro Transportation Authority board meeting last week, Mayor Villaraigosa seconded a motion by Mark Ridley-Thomas, which insisted that a Leimert Park station be inclusive in the planning of the Crenshaw Line.

It ended two years of fighting for a light-rail station in Leimert Park, with the approval of $120 million full-funding for a stop in the heart of L.A.'s African American community.

“Good News! Good News! Good News! Good News in Leimert Park Village today, clap your hands and give somebody a high-five and tell them there is Good News in the Village today!” proclaimed RidleyThomas at the rally.

The supervisor referred to the African proverb “It takes a village to raise a child,” paraphrasing it to ‘It takes a village to cause a train to stop at Leimert Park Village.”

“In other words we did it togeth-

Food Stamps {Continued from page 6} Feeding America reported that more White households are food insecure than Black households, but the rate of food insecurity in Black households is twice as high. Whites also make up roughly 36 percent of people that use SNAP. Blacks account for 22 percent.

This concerns many advocates that say more Blacks need to be educated about the program that could play a critical role in helping them to escape poverty.

19 brought by a son returning from Sweden — lined a mantelpiece in the carpeted living room where she sat for the interview. Her daughter, Tukwini, worked in a nearby room on the “House of Mandela” wine business, which launched this year in the United States.

The Mandela name has lost some shine because of a legal dispute over control of two companies that pits Makaziwe and Zenani Dlamini, a daughter from Mandela’s second marriage to Winnie Mandela, against old associates of the Nobel Peace prize laureate, who has withdrawn from public life. The firms, directed by associates who say they were appointed at Mandela’s request, hold funds from the sale of handprint artwork by Mandela that is earmarked for eventual distribution to his family.

In the AP interview, Makaziwe Mandela would not discuss the court case.

She talked about the strain and stress of losing her siblings and having a charismatic father whose devotion to justice and equality came at the expense of his children.

“I’m sure now, in his twilight years, that he looks back and says, ‘You know, I could have done that differently,’” Makaziwe said. “He has

regrets in life, mostly about his family. He was not there as a father. He tried the best way that he could when he came out of jail. But you understand that my father came out of jail and was swallowed up even before he became president. He never really had the time to truly be a father.”

In his autobiography “Long Walk to Freedom,” Nelson Mandela wrote wistfully of his inability to fulfill his role as a husband to Winnie Mandela during his incarceration, which ended in 1990. The couple divorced in 1996.

He is now married to Graca Machel, the former first lady of Mozambique.

“When your life is the struggle, as mine was, there is little room left for family. That has always been my greatest regret, and the most painful aspect of the choice I made,” Mandela wrote.

Makaziwe Mandela said she relates to actress Jane Fonda, who wrote in a memoir about her troubled relationship with her father, actor Henry Fonda. “On Golden Pond,” the 1981 movie that starred both Fondas, also offered a bittersweet lesson in how a child can reach out to an elderly parent, even one who didn’t, or couldn’t, do enough.

“It is me who has to make an effort, to bridge the gap,” Makaziwe said. “To be there.”

er. Say Mr. Mayor we did it together!

Mr. Council President we did it together! Ms. (Jan) Perry we did it together! We did it together with the Sentinel and other newspapers! We did it together,” Ridley-Thomas added, also mentioning churches, clergy and community organizations that were instrumental in solidifying the station.

That was the theme celebrated in the same location that three to four years from now will be an artery through, to and from the single region in Los Angeles that is most symbolic of African American culture.

Mayor Villaraigosa smiled continuously and then reflected on the long journey of not just the Leimert Park station but also his 33-year relationship with glowing political superstar Ridley-Thomas.

“For 33-years Mark RidleyThomas and Antonio Villaraigosa have been working together. From the co-chairs of the Latino/Black Roundtable to work on his campaign for city council, mine for the state assembly, my first second and third run for mayor, we have understood that when we work together, we get things done,” said Villaraigosa.

The mayor concluded by saying the event is a celebration of the Leimert Park Village community that

has always been a big part of this town from the very beginning. “This is a community that has a cultural destination point that people from all over this town should come and visit.”

Leimert Park was developed in the 1920s as an all-white neighborhood known for lush golf courses, but the 1965 Watts riots, Black musicians, writers and artists began to move in and transformed it into an African American cultural destination for entertainment, food and business.

Sounds of Jazz can frequently be heard throughout the community, lined with shops, art galleries and the last Black-centric bookstore in the region. Leimert Park is the last African American business corridor in Southern California.

“Let me just say this. The role that the Sentinel has played in this outcome, frankly has been under reported,” said Sup. Ridley Thomas. “I want to publically acknowledge the rather, pivotal and critical role that the publisher (Danny J. Bakewell Sr.) of the L.A. Sentinel has played in this.

That’s not overstated, that’s just frankly the facts. So two years to the date was not the day we hope that it would be, but today is the day we hope for.”

“One major concern that I have within the African American community is that many people don’t have direct access to the program.

They are not sure about the program,” said Brian Banks, director of public policy and community outreach for the Capital Area Food Bank. “They don’t understand that the program is there to help and support them.”

Banks said that the proposed cuts to the safety net program are disheartening.

“This is the wrong time to cut this program the biggest safety net program in America,” said Banks,

director of public policy and community outreach for the Capital Area Food Bank. “We’re talking about your neighbors, your grandparents, your colleagues. You’d be surprised by who’s suffering from hunger.

Banks added: “The federal government is in place and should have the will to support people without hurting them. People are struggling and if we cut programs that are helping them, where are they going to go to get assistance?”

Solitary Confinement {Continued from page 7} Denard further stated she and other youth in solitary confinement had no books or writing materials, so their nights were endless. “... just you, your thoughts and the screams or crying of the young people in the cells next to you...Your family and the community expect that you are safe and unharmed. In reality you might be safe from other youth

– but not from yourself. Being locked down makes you feel that you are worthless to society. You start to think about any way to escape – even if it means suicide,” the young activist elaborated.

She recommends creating a nature park as one alternative to 23hour cells to help incarcerated youth calm down. “...or have us work outside to grow food, or take vocational trainings so we are ready to start our lives over after release,” Denard suggested.
