COMMENTARY: We need to Revitalize the Great 8a Business Development Program Beyond the Rhetoric

By Harry C. Alford & Kay DeBow

A

Harlem Community Newspapers | September 12. 2019

ccording to the Small Business Administration (SBA): “The federal government’s goal is to award at least five percent of all federal contracting dollars to small disadvantaged businesses each year.” Here are the Program benefits: “To help provide a level playing field for small businesses owned by socially and economically disadvantaged people or entities, the government limits competition for certain contracts to businesses that participate in the 8(a) Business Development program.”

“Disadvantaged businesses in the 8(a) Program can: Compete for set-aside and sole-source contracts in the program.

Form joint ventures with established businesses through the SBA’s mentor-protégé program.

Receive management and technical assistance, including business training, counseling, market assistance, and high-level executive development programs, as they apply.”

The above program was the brainchild of the late, great Parren J. Mitchell while he was the Chair of the House Small Business Committee and his staff – led

by NBCC Board Member Anthony W. Robinson. It is, without debate, 4

the most successful minority business program in the history of federal procurement. No formal program has made more Black millionaires than this program. Despite this, it needs to be updated and reinforced.

Having a 5% minority business goal for the federal government is pittance. The Black population percentage of our nation is over 14.6% alone. Hispanics have a percentage of 17.0%.

That amounts to 31.6% without other ethnicities. Racism and passive discrimination in this nation still exists and per the U.S. Supreme Court and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 discrimination needs to be addressed according to the disparate impact placed on identified groups. President Bill Clinton had the answer to this after being encouraged or intimidated from the Million Man March of 1996. His plan to “Mend” affirmative action rather than “end” it included formal Disparity Studies for each of the 10 Federal Regions. Following that adjusted goals could be implemented. One big problem – he never did it. The Congressional Black Caucus should wake up and take the lead from its greatest Founder, Congressman Mitchell, and proceed with the above idea.

The great HUD Secretary Alphonso Jackson applied this logic and took Black procurement at HUD to new heights – approaching 32%. President George W. Bush watched his “back” as democratic congressmen tried to have him indicted for whatever reason they could find.

He eventually resigned to spend time protecting his name and future during various hearings and investigations. HUD does about 4% in Black procurement today. Updating the goals and returning to a serious aura can bring this program back to the effectiveness it once had.

Let’s get busy with turning this atrocity around. We must encourage the White House and federal agencies to quickly “pick up the pieces” and bring the 8a Program back to life and with vigor and updated goals. If Black firms could attain at least 5% in procurement contracting with the federal government that would mean $25 billion dollars annually infused into our economic base.

There is a federal election coming in 2020 and we must make significant improvement while that environment exists.

It is time for Blacks to address each political candidate with that great quote from Chaka Khan – “What Cha’ Going to

do for Me”.

Mr. Alford is the Co-Founder, President/

CEO of the National Black Chamber of Commerce ®. Ms. DeBow is

the Co-Founder, Executive Vice President of the Chamber.

NAREB Urges Black Americans Not to Defer Their Dream of Homeownership

Harlem Community Newspapers | September 12. 2019

A

6

ccording to the National Association of Real Estate Brokers (NAREB) wealth building usually begins with that first investment in owning your own home. Whether you purchase a first-time “starter” home or inherit a property or residence, you start down the road to building wealth. But something has changed in the Black community. The U.S. Census Bureau’s latest statistics indicate that the Black homeownership rate has dropped once again.

Now at 40.6%, the rate starkly signals a continual loss of wealth for Black Americans. By comparison, the non-Hispanic White homeownership rate for the same period was reported to be 73.1%, a nearly 30% difference. There’s a problem and NAREB is on point to stop the loss and return Black Americans to wealth building through homeownership of real estate investment.

NAREB is aware that the Black community, particularly its local and na-

tional leaders, may need a clear, strong wake-up call to reverse this daunting downward trend.

What are the causes? But more importantly, what are the solutions? What can the community of concern do to prompt home purchase and therefore, wealth building?

These and other questions are slated to be addressed at NAREB’s annual “State of Black America” forum to be convened at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s 2019 Annual Legislative Conference, Thursday, Sept. 12, 2019, 2:00p.m.- 4:00p.m.

Expert panelists, steeped

in the issues, the disparities and likely solutions to raising Black homeownership are committed to working with NAREB on its mission to restore confidence in the real estate market, identify critical systemic blockages, and outline the concerted advocacy strategies that lawmakers at every level of government need to keep in mind to improve Black homeownership outcomes.

During the forum, Donnell Williams, the newly installed president of NAREB, will announce an aggressive program to reach out and encourage Black millennials to consider, or

re-consider, homeownership as a wealth building tool.

“Statistics show that there are 1.7 million Black millennials making $100,000 or more and could improve their financial futures with homeownership or participation in real estate investment opportunities. NAREB is determined to reach them with messages that rebut, yet improve, some of their current lifestyle choices,” he says.

What’s more, he adds, homeownership is critical. “One clear message to millennials: Think about a house before you buy the car.”

As he explains, wealth building is all about smart choices. Dreams need not be deferred. Homeownership is possible and still desirable as a wealth building tool. NAREB, with its nationwide network of predominantly Black American real estate professionals are here to help find the wealth building pathways that best suit lifestyles and incomes.

“Join me at NAREB’s Forum for the answers,” Williams concluded.

Breaking Barriers in Ballet: Misty Copeland Received Trailblazer Award

By Lauren Poteat, NNPA Newswire Washington Correspondent

M

isty Copeland had the world of ballet standing still, when she made history as the first Black female principal dancer to the prestigious American Ballet Theatre (ABT) in 2015, just months after becoming the first Black woman to perform the lead role of “Odette” in ABT’s coveted “Black Swan” in the winter of 2014.

Determined to shatter the glass ceiling of the ballet world, on Sep. 11, the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) honored Misty

Copeland with their esteemed Trailblazer Award during the CBC’s annual “Celebration of the Arts” event—an award that Copeland deemed as not only an honor but also a necessity.

“It’s so important for other Black dancers to see a possibility, a future for themselves, in a world that still doesn’t include many other Black ballerinas,” Copeland said.

“There’s definitely still a glass ceiling in the ballet world,” Copeland continued. “There’s only one Black principal dancer in the American Ballet Theatre in their entire almost 80-year history and a lot

of people don’t have the understanding that just because it’s been done once, doesn’t meant that that problem goes away… having one Black president didn’t mean that racism didn’t exist.”

“If I didn’t have art in my life, then I wouldn’t be the articulate, confident person that I am today. Fields in STEM are important but the arts are also so vital… not every child learns the same way and sometimes the missing link is art.”

Growing up as the fourth child of six in underserved areas of San Pedro, California, Copeland spoke to a time where she and her five other

siblings found themselves all living in a small motel after her mother’s marriage to her fourth husband became abusive — both emotionally and physically — to Copeland’s mother and all of her children.

Despite the economic and social hardships, Copeland said that she was able to find solace and her voice through the world of dance.

At the age of 13, the ballet lessons that she began taking at at the local Boys and Girls Club would eventually allow her to move in with her teacher’s family and eventually prepare her to make history.

“It’s been 25 years now that I’ve been a part of classical ballet and I still have that same fire,” Copeland said. “I think for me it was initially out of my own need, as a 13-year old girl growing up in underprivileged areas, to find structure, something I never had,

and dance provided exactly what I needed for that time in my life.”

“I represent ballet and any child that needs to see someone persevere,” Copeland continued. “What it means to be an underdog and to be mentored and have an amazing support system and represent that American dream.”

Since joining the American Ballet Theatre in 2001, Copeland has gone on to be inducted into the Boys & Girls Club National Hall of Fame; serve on the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports, and Nutrition, under the Obama administration; publish three books, including the New York Times Bestselling memoir, “Life in Motion;” secure her own clothing line with Under Armour; and receive an honorary doctorate from the University of Hartford.

All the while Copeland has been an ardent beliver in re-

minding others that “representation is important.”

“I’m still a Black ballerina and a Black woman in this world and that doesn’t just disappear with titles,” Copeland said. “The more I use my visibility, my platform, my voice, to continue to speak about diversity both in front of the scenes and behind them, the more I’ll be able to help change the directory of dance.”

“A lot of underserved areas and youth either don’t receive access to dance courses or don’t receive quality training, which limits their chances of going even further when that time comes,” Copeland continued. “My hope, is that with my platform, I can continue this conversation to bring about change, to show younger people how to own their own power, to embrace who they are, to walk in their own path and to be represented.”

he annual Circle of Sister Expo produced

by NYC’s leading radio stations WBLS and WLIB in its 15th year, is a celebration of black women, sisterhood, and community.

More than 30,000 people united at the Javits Center on 655 West 34th Street for the Circle of Sisters (COS) event, making it the largest expo celebrating black women.

Cynthia Smith, Assistant Program Director of WBLS and WLIB said that it is important that we continue to celebrate black women.

“We are continuing to break new records and just have a better place in our daily structure...to support and continue to celebrate black women and make sure that we are aware of just how important we are,” said Smith. “It goes without saying that this is super important.”

The 12-hour event from 10:00am to 10:00pm, had every inch of the Jacob Javits Convention Center full of entertainment, musical performances, seminars, empowering panels, and marketplace for attendees to

explore.

COS had a long list of celebrity appearances including Grammy award-winning singer Maxwell, R&B singer Brian Mcknight, songstress Deborah Cox, and more.

There were also panels featuring cast members from the show Power, the Daughters of the Movement panel featuring the next generation of our iconic civil rights leaders, a conversation with Harlem’s Dapper Dan and

WBLS personalities Kool DJ Red Alert and Fred “Bugsy” Buggs, a special recognition of The Exonerated 5 and much more.

Gina Belafonte, daughter of Julie and Harry Belafonte, Ilyasah Shabazz, daughter of Malcolm X and Dr. Betty Shabazz, Ashley and Dominique Sharpton, daughters of Reverend Al Sharpton and others were featured on The Daughters of the Movement panel and discussed how

their parents shaped their narrative on community, social justice and the current political climate.

Assistant Program Director Smith who has been with WBLS/WLIB for 11 years, said COS has gotten bigger and created more opportunities for women to have these conversations.

“It’s created more opportunities for women to have conversations about entrepreneurship, beauty...we just really kind of stepped it up from what we’ve done in the past,” said Smith. “It used to be just vendors and shopping and now its panels and discussions that highlight the things that are happening in women’s lives.”

“Since its inception, we have created a one-ofa-kind experience for all Black women and families to celebrate with each other.

From musical performances by today’s music sensations

to thought-provoking and star-studded panel discussions on entertainment, social issues, and relationships to our highly-favored Gospel concert, Circle of Sisters is definitely not to be missed,” said Charlie Morgan, Senior Vice President/Market Man-

ager WBLS/WLIB, according to the WBLS website.

“Our ultimate goal is always to make our community happy beyond measure and produce a successful event.”

s STEAM learning has grown in prominence in classrooms across the country, so has the role of tools and resources facilitating this approach to learning.

Here are five examples of how technology is supporting the integration of science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics in classrooms today.

• Lessons brought to life: Virtual reality in the classroom has the power to immerse students in STEAM material more fully than ever before, while giving students with engineering proclivities the opportunity to create their own educational content. As the cost of this technology becomes more accessible, a growing number of schools are benefiting.

• Visualized math: The ability to visualize mathematical concepts can support students’ grasp of the material. And expanded features on the latest models of graphing calculators give students the ability to easily draw three-dimensional graphs such as planes, cylinders and spheres, and view them from various angles in order to better analyze their

shape. The expanded features and improved catalog function of the fx-CG50 PRIZM graphing calculator, for example, includes a cross-section option and special zoom function, enabling students to further examine graphs for deeper analysis. Offering a color LCD with a full textbook-style display, students can even plot graphs over pictures of real-life scenes.

• Art lessons without the mess: New free and inexpensive educational apps give art teachers an opportunity to deliver lessons without the mess. From charcoal drawing to pottery to painting, the digital experience can faithfully replicate the real thing, so that young artists learn all the fine art principles needed to create a masterpiece.

• Accelerated music instruction: Research continues to support the vital role that music education plays in STEAM learning. And now, new tools are making it easy for educators to introduce students to a wide scope of tones, rhythms and genres, and offer students an opportunity to learn at a pace that keeps them motivated. For example, the Casio CT-X700 portable keyboard for advanced beginners to intermediate

players features a Step-Up Lesson system that displays proper finger placement and notation, allowing users to easily learn songs. A USB-MIDI port connects to any Mac, PC, Android or iOS device so that the world of music is literally at the fingertips of students.

• Better presentation: From sines and cosines to a map of the galaxy, no matter what subject is being taught, teachers know it isn’t always easy to maintain the class’s attention. But keeping students engaged is easier today, thanks to the latest generation of projectors, which offer sharper visuals and new educational solutions that help teachers maintain their momentum with modern, streamlined lessons. Those from the Superior Series from Casio LampFree Projectors allow teachers to select a presenter from anywhere in a classroom and project their device onto the screen, as well as control projection remotely using their own smart device anywhere in the classroom.

Today’s students are not only deriving the benefits of an integrative STEAM approach to learning, they have some of the coolest new tools to support their education.

Tips for Parents to Help Teens Make the Most of Doctor’s Visits (Statepoint)

T

he transition from childhood to adolescence is a complex time for kids, but it’s also a complex time for you, and you may find yourself un-

sure how to give your children more independence and when to stay involved.

But when it comes to doctor’s visits, medical experts emphasize the importance of empowering teens to talk to their doctors one-on-one.

“During routine doctor visits, it’s important for adolescents to feel comfortable discussing their health care needs with their physicians,” says Dr. Maria Trent, chair of the American Academy of Pediat-

rics Section on Adolescent Health. “Often, it is only during confidential, oneon-one conversations that teens are able to get the information and resources that they need to be healthy and safe.”

When teens and young adults aren’t sure if what they tell their doctors is confidential, they are less willing to discuss sensitive topics or may skip care altogether, suggests research published in the Journal of Adolescent Health. This is especially true for adolescents who report engaging in risky behaviors or report experiencing psychological distress, meaning those who need care the most may not be seeking it from their doctors.

You, your teens and their doctors should work together to ensure that confidential, one-on-one care is a part of every visit.

In an effort to increase the number of adolescents and young adults receiving preventive services, and to help you support your teen’s journey towards independence and responsibility, here are some tips developed by the Adolescent Health Consortium, a collaborative effort between the American Academy of Pediatrics, American Academy of Family Physicians, the Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine, and the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists: • Understand the benefits of one-on-one time between adolescents and doctors and make it a priority. Confidential care is good for teens’

health. If one-on-one time isn’t offered or encouraged during the visit, consider volunteering to leave the room.

• Prepare your teen for one-on-one time with their doctors by explaining its purpose and benefits, and encouraging them to come to the visit with a list of questions to have answered.

Let teens know that it’s their bodies, their health, and their life, and that they should feel empowered to get the information they need. Explain how patient confidentiality works, so teens feel comfortable addressing any health concerns they have.

• Talk to teens about healthy relationships, positive choices, social media, as well as potentially sensitive topics, such as substance use and sexually transmitted infection prevention, gender identity and sexual orientation and more. Regular communication at home can lead to greater trust and a bigger chance that teens will open up about health concerns.

More parent resources and tips can be found at healthychildren.org.

Experts say that confidential, one-on-one care can help teens make the most of their doctor’s visit. As a parent, you can actively promote discussions between doctors and patients that will allow teens to get the care they need.

Still Standing

I

By La-Verna Fountain am struggling to understand the world around me as I also manage the world within me. Both seem to be changing. Recently, I returned to Columbia University to teach one course.

It is a course I designed specifically to help people value the voices of others.

In this increasingly divisive world, it seems paramount that we learn to value those voices unlike our own. I am proud to bring my multiple decades of experience to this endeavor and am grateful that Dean Jason Wingard at Columbia’s School of Professional Studies and Ferdi-

nand Pineda director of the Construction Administration program agree.

Dean Wingard has connected Columbia and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) so that students attending an HBCU can also become a Fellow at Columbia and partake of its many exceptional educational experiences.

His action alone has helped build bridges of understanding in the world of academia.

The intent with my course is to help construction firms (and eventually other organizations and companies) recognize the importance and value the voices of community members.

As I stepped onto Columbia’s College Walk after my two-year hiatus, I noticed that some things had changed.

Improvements

Answers to Puzzle on page20

had been made on the campus. Lovely improvements.

Some of the classrooms had been upgraded. It felt new and I felt old. The students’ enthusiasm seemed familiar and yet, as I eavesdropped on some of the conversations, I realized for some there was an underlying sense of uncertainty about their futures. For others, the joy of being in a new place with new experiences in the most vibrant city in the world seemed normal.

Walking towards my classroom, I heard voices of protest. Not many. Students were beginning to organize around local and world events. That felt familiar. There have always been leaders willing to organize and people connecting around challenges. I breathed a sigh of relief that

I could keep walking and not engage. I was happy to focus my energies on a different method of bringing people together.

Finally, I arrived at my classroom. I examined the faces of my master’s level students. Already professionals. Already working their way up the ladder. I thought about Dean Wingard and what it must be like for this African American dean to navigate at the Ivy League University and bring his innovative plans to a place steeped in history. I thought about Program Director Pineda and how he is bringing new energy and ideas to a field that desperately needs his leadership.

As the co-founder of the Columbia Construction Diversity Initiative focused on improving access and train-

ing for minority, women, veterans and disabled contractors in NYC, Director Pineda can play a pivotal role in the future direction of construction in the City. And then, naturally I thought of me returning to a campus where I received immeasurable blessings from my connections with the people on campus and the people in the community. Returning now with an invisible disability and yet with a thirst to give and a thirst to grow.

I do not know if it is an old me returning to an old world, a new me returning to a new world or somehow a mix of it all. I think it is the latter. You can’t go backwards so I need to figure how to navigate from where I stand now.

And, I remind myself that I am still standing (maybe

a little crooked), but I am standing.

HERBS ARE NATURES MEDICINE

I

By Zakiyyah

n the last article we spoke about the emotions’ effect on the organs and the resulting illnesses we bear. The correlations of the elements-to-organs are directly connected to the root source of all illness, as well as the remedies to rid the body of all disease.

FEAR is related to the kidneys/bladder, the ears (shaped like kidneys) and the Water Element, which is also associated with the colors blue/black (like the colors of bodies of water).

This is obvious when fear causes a person to urinate uncontrollably. In children, this can also manifest as bed-wetting, which is linked to insecurity and

anxiety. The Kidneys are considered the most important organ of the whole body because it is the vital energy source of all the organs of the body.

When various aspects of the Water Element are out of balance, symptoms like dread of cold, edema, inappropriate fear of things, diarrhea, impotence, premature ejaculation, lifeless dull hair, etc., will manifest.

HERBS, MEDITATION on the Seven Chakras and PRANIC HEALING are keys to releasing and eliminating stress, restoring balance and energy, which will improve the quality of

your physical and emotional health, allowing your body to permanently heal. Allow me to facilitate this healing process for you. . . .

HARLEM COMMUNITY NEWSPAPERS

“More to Life”

by ReShonda Tate Billingsley REVIEW by Terri Schlichenmeyer, Harlem News contributor

“K

eep this to yourself!”

That’s the way big dreams start: don’t tell anyone, because telling makes them more delicate.

Sharing makes it hurt more when what you want doesn’t happen. As in the new book “More to Life” by ReShonda Tate Billingsley, it’s even worse when your dreams are ignored.

Even by her own admission, Aja James had everything a woman could want: a handsome husband, Charles, who loved giving gifts. Two wonderful children. A beautiful home, fine furnishings, a full closet, a new car.

And yet, during an Is-

lands birthday vacation with her three best friends – paid for by Charles, of course – forty-five-year-old Aja realized that she never had what her soul needed.

Once, she’d showed promise as a painter and it was her passion. She was good at it but, as she realized at the island resort, nobody listened when she said she wanted to paint forever. Her high school guidance counselor and her parents shooed her away from it. Her husband and children called it “a hobby.” When Aja said she wanted to open an art gallery, her friends didn’t take her seriously, either.

So, like the good wife

SUDOKU ANSWERS

she was expected to be, she put her own needs aside to take care of Charles and the children. She painted when she could, which was rare because her time was spent looking for lost socks and lost golf clubs and doing what her family demanded of her.

And then Aja met a strange Island woman who told her that she needed to walk her own purpose, words that struck her to the core.

Finally, Aja knew what made her feel so unsettled, and she went home to face her future.

But was it with – or without – Charles? Aja’s best friends thought she was crazy to give up a good man for the unknown. And the house

ReShonda Tate Billingsley

and the lifestyle, too? Insane! Ah, but just thinking about a quiet art gallery and an easel made Aja smile.

Could she really do it?

Dreams deferred. Is that the story of your very existence? If so, then you’ll love having “More to Life”… more or less.

More, because author ReShonda Tate Billingsley offers fans another novel that

reads as though she’s spent a month spying on their lives

Harlem Community Newspapers | September 12. 2019

and calendars, and anyone who’s ever lost a dream or shelved one indefinitely will feel a kinship with Aja. That character, as well as the rest of Billingsley’s cast, feels familiar, almost personal, and mostly likeable, although the situations they’re placed in (here’s the “less”) are really too over-the-top. Suffice it to say that there’s a Big Event inside this tale that abruptly alters the entire course of the story, adding unnecessary drama to a situation that was arguably better and more relatable without embellishment.

Still, if a dream is like a butterfly in your hands, or if you’ve ever moved to seize a what-if, then this book will read like a diary for you.

Start “More to Life” and you won’t be able to keep it to yourself.
