GOOD NEWS YOU CAN USE!-
COVID 19 is still a threat – continue to wear your mask. People continue to test positive every day, people continue to enter the hospital everyday and people continue to die. I guess when we have no entries in the hospital and no deaths from COVID – perhaps then we can take off our masks. I had a thought about Racism. If everyone looked at each of us as a part to just one body, then we would understand racism, like cancer will spread if not treated. Like cancer we protest and yell and scream then some laws are passed, some corporations start to invest in the community, some industries open doors and we go into what may look like a recession. However, like cancer – if not cleared up – it will return and spread. Have you answered the Census yet? What are you waiting for – it takes just a couple of minutes and your participation is vital to the monies coming to your community for services for you, your family and your community. I know that we all are aware how important it is for us to vote in November. Plan to do what you have to do to get your vote in. Plan to vote early. Mail in your ballot if you must, however, you ought not be able to sleep at night if you fail to vote.

Black Americans and COVID-19 Clinical Trials By Dr. Benjamin F. Chavis, Jr., President and CEO,
T
We are profoundly aware that within our communities there has been a historical and contemporary distrust of medical research. However, the challenge today is for more Black Americans to be involved at every point
Three years ago, the NNPA, Howard University and Pfizer collaborated to do a national landmark poll and study of awareness of Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) among Black Americans. This was im-
ness to participate in future clinical trials for SCD, given appropriate knowledge and recommendations from health care professionals. It is urgent that in the strategic rush to develop an effective
he unrelenting spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) throughout the United States of America in 2020, continues to pose an unprecedented public health crisis for all Americans, but in particular for Black Americans and other people of color who are disproportionately negatively impacted by COVID-19. As the trusted voice of Black America, the National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA) in March of 2020 established the NNPA Coronavirus Task Force as a means of increasing public awareness about the overall preexisting health disparities in Black America and the disproportionately fatal consequences of COVID-19 for Black Americans and other people of color. In fact, the NNPA and our Coronavirus Task Force were the first to issue a national “State of Emergency” declaration on April 3, 2020 to warn Black Americans and others about the evolving dangers and public health risks of COVID-19. Earlier this year, there were just too many myths and other misinformation circulating primarily via social media falsely asserting that “Black people and people of African descent were immune to COVID-19
of falsehoods and misinformation. The media has a responsibility to research and report the truth. This year marks the 193rd year of the Black Press of America. Since Freedom’s Journal was first published in March of 1827, the Black Press has remained on the front lines of publishing and speaking truth to power by demanding freedom, justice and equality. All of this brings me to state categorical-
COVID-19-based public health policies, research, clinical trials, remedies, and vaccine development. Our lives and future are at stake.” The good news is that today there are many Black American physicians, infectious disease scholars, clinicians, medical researchers, nurses and others on the front lines as first responders and as leaders inside the major pharmaceutical companies that are striving to develop a safe and effective vaccine for COVID-19.
of the development of a COVID-19 vaccine to ensure that the medical rights and interests of Black Americans are thoroughly protected, respected, and addressed effectively and truthfully. In other words, Black American engagement is crucial and critical in the development of a COVID-19 vaccine — including participation in clinical trials — to make sure that the new vaccine is effective to prevent Blacks and others from COVID-19 infections.
portant because Black Americans are disproportionately impacted by SCD across the nation. Included in that NNPA-Howard University-Pfizer poll was the issue of Black Americans’ willingness to participate in clinical trials with respect to SCD. We were pleased to learn and to document that 76% of the Black American poll respondents had positive or neutral attitudes toward SCD clinical trials, and a majority indicated a willing-
COVID-19 vaccine for all people, that Black Americans are not left out of the process. The health of our families and communities necessitates our involvement to raise all the questions that need to be raised, and at the same time to participate responsibly in the COVID-19 clinical trials.

She Will Answer By Amelia Ashley-Ward, Publisher, San Francisco Sun Reporter Newspaper
I
Harlem Community Newspapers | September 10. 2020
reached out to congratulate my friend Kamala Harris shortly after she accepted the nomination to become the Democratic Party’s candidate for Vice President of the United States of America. She is, in fact, the first African American woman to be selected to be Vice President by any major political party. I had planned on simply leaving a message for her because it’s been our habit for some 20 years to have each other’s back and to celebrate milestones. I didn’t expect her to answer. After all, she had just given the speech of her life. It was searing, well-reasoned and at times emotional. She had just

ascended magnificently into history, standing on the shoulders of Shirley Chisholm, Mary McLeod Bethune, Fannie Lou Hamer, Harriet Tubman and other Sheroes. She must have been nostalgic. CNN and other major networks were busy analyzing her speech. They were comparing her to the politically iconic Kennedys. One analyst even suggested that Harris is the Democratic party’s new leader. They talked of her defining speech, its content, and the praise she heaped upon her late Mother, Dr. Shyamala Gopalan Harris, her inspiration. I was still crying and
celebrating, while talking with my right hand, Rosalyn Gillis. I could hardly see through my tears, when a few minutes later Kamala Devi Harris, my freedom fighting friend, answered me back. I was blown away. I just thought that since you’re about to finally kick in that glass ceiling – and we know it had to be you – that you didn’t have time to answer. But you did. I was thinking to myself: Hey Madame Vice-President, what’s up with you? Why are you

taking a pause from celebrating to answer me with such a kind and loving message? My thoughts about my friend Kamala continued to flow. This is your night, your time, and your turn. Enjoy it and get every ounce of pleasure out of it. You are now finally reaping what you have sowed. You weren’t given any free passes, you never asked for favors, handouts, or hand me downs. You earned all that you have achieved and climbed every stair to get
there. You answered the bell for every round, and you refuse to ever back down. I should not have been surprised by your answering the call. You have always made yourself available and answered the call to service. And I am so proud of you for answering the call to serve with President Joe Biden to help turn this country around. That’s simply your way and how you operate. Our future VP is who she is and where she is because she is driven in her quest for freedom, justice and equality and she is loyal. Senator Harris at times will stop what’s she’s doing to answer a call. I have known California’s first African American woman District Attorney and first African American Attor-
ney General Harris to be this way for her 18-year political career. To make it plain: She is “Kamala Harris For the People.” Kamala listens and she’s an independent thinker. And she’ll do the same as VP. Kamala has been characterized as being too ambitious. What a great compliment and aren’t we glad. Someone lacking ambition would never have run for such valuable political offices to perfect social change and, in doing so, made the cover of Time Magazine. And, she certainly would not be the talk of the world as an exemplary woman who has marched into the history books again and again and again. Well done! Thank you, Kamala, for always answering and being there for all of us.

he Black community has suffered the highest death rates from Covid-19, and the numbers are staggering. Black people are nearly three times more likely than White people to contract the virus, and twice as likely to die from it, according to a report from the National Urban League. There are many factors that contribute to these disparities, including the fact that Black people are disproportionately represented in essential jobs that cannot be performed at home, and they are more likely to live in housing with a high number of occupants. Lack of access to quality and affordable health care is also an important factor -and one facet of the issue is glaring but has gotten very little attention: There are too few Black doctors. Black newborns more likely to die when looked after by White doctors For a number of reasons
-- including patient trust, physician engagement, and

cultural awareness -- Black patients overall have better outcomes when they are treated by Black doctors. A wealth of data supports this, including a recent study that found Black newborns treated by Black physicians had higher rates of survival. Black doctors are also more likely to practice in communities where the lack of access to quality care -including preventative care
leads to more economic opportunity and stronger finances -- because there is a direct correlation between health and wealth. In other words: If we had more Black doctors, we would save more Black lives -- and also make progress in closing the racial wealth gap. Michael R.

Tips to Ease the Financial Recovery Process After A Disaster
W
hile the COVID-19 crisis continues to be top of mind for many Americans, it’s important to remember that other disasters can still occur with little or no warning, making it vital to prepare. This September, which is National Preparedness Month, get started by checking out Ready.gov and the American Red Cross, two great resources for creating a plan to protect you and your family’s immediate safety. As for your financial preparedness, consider these tips from Wells Fargo: • A natural disaster could potentially destroy paper copies of documents needed for tax and insurance purposes. While you
should protect these documents in a fireproof, waterproof box that locks, you should also possess electronic copies. Save birth and marriage certificates, wills, deeds, tax returns, insurance policies and stock and bond certificates on a thumb drive or in a secure location in the cloud. • Keep an up-to-date inventory of your possessions. One easy way to do so is to use your smartphone to take photographs or videos of everything valuable and store this in the cloud. Your documentation should include cars, vehicles and electronics, as well as any interior and exterior
home improvements you’ve made which could increase your property value and help with insurance claims. • Review what your insurance policy covers and determine if additional insurance or coverage is needed. Be sure to take into account how life has changed in the COVID-19 era. For example, emergency shelters may not be an option for your family given social distancing guidelines, so you may want to consider adding coverage for temporary housing to your policy • If you haven’t already done so, consider setting up online banking, mobile bank-
FOXWORTHREALTYONLINE.COM
ing, automatic bill pay and electronic account alerts. Should you be displaced from your home, these measures will make it easier to stay on top of your accounts and bills. Take this opportunity to ensure your online profiles are up-to-date in case your bank or lender need to contact you post-disaster. • Note that a disaster can shut down local ATMs and banks for days or even weeks. Include easily accessible cash in your emergency supply kit. • Know in advance if and what resources your financial institutions provide. For example Wells Fargo customers, including
those with home mortgages, home equity, small business, and auto loans, can contact 800-TO-WELLS or visit wellsfargo.com/ recovery to learn more. “If COVID-19 has taught us anything it’s that disasters come in all shapes and sizes,” says Rullah Price, se-
nior vice president, head of Wells Fargo Enterprise Incident Communications. “However, developing a plan this National Preparedness Month could save you countless hours of work and make the financial recovery process a lot less stressful.”

Triggered by a fare increase of 30 pesos (around four cents), the movement soon came to embody 30 years of social discontent with a neoliberal model and a constitution imposed in 1980 under Pinochet’s dictatorship. As this new

movement continues to grow in different cities of Chile, it is making its way to different social media platforms that have quickly formed a communal network. With a more direct way to share first-hand information coming from every neighborhood, people no longer need to rely on the national press, which is often controlled by wealthy families or the government.

‘Not Forgotten,’ 26 Missing Children Recovered in U.S. Marshal Operation By Stacy M. Brown, NNPA Newswire Senior National Correspondent @StacyBrownMedia
I
n 2018, the National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA) launched a series on the plight of missing children of color – focusing primarily on missing Black girls. The series, which continues with regular updates, included the development of partnerships with several organizations that focus on educating the public about missing children across the U.S. According to a news release from the U.S. Marshals 10
Service, the U.S. Marshals Service Missing Child Unit’s “Operation Not Forgotten” resulted in the rescue of 26 children in Georgia, the safe location of 13 children and the arrest of nine criminal associates. The U.S. Marshals Service did not identify the rescued children, but because of their action, the children are safe, and their families are relieved. “These were some of the most at-risk and challenging recovery
cases in the area, based on indications of highrisk factors such as victimization of child sex trafficking, child exploitation, sexual abuse, physical abuse, and medical or mental health conditions,” officials noted in the news release. The operation was completed in conjunction with the U.S. Marshals’ Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, along with Georgia state and local agencies. Investigators filed
26 arrest warrants and additional charges for allegations including sex trafficking, parental kidnapping, registered sex offender violations, drugs and weapons possession and custodial interference. “The U.S. Marshals Service is fully committed to assisting federal, state, and local agencies with locating and recovering endangered missing children, in addition to their primary fugitive apprehension mission,” Donald Washington, director of the U.S. Marshals Service, stated in the release.
“The message to missing children and their families is that we will never stop looking for you.” In 2019, the USMS helped locate 295 missing children after requests for assistance from law enforcement and contributed to the recovery of a missing child in 75 percent of cases received. The news released noted that, of the missing children recovered, 66 percent were recovered within seven days of the USMS assisting with the case. “When we track
down fugitives, it’s a good feeling to know that we’re putting the bad guy behind bars. But that sense of accomplishment is nothing compared to finding a missing child,” Darby Kirby, Chief of the Missing Child Unit, added in the news release. “It’s hard to put into words what we feel when we rescue a missing child, but I can tell you that this operation has impacted every single one of us out here. We are working to protect them and get them the help they need.”

etween schoolwork, socialization and gaming, kids will likely be online more than ever this year, especially with many students continuing to learn remotely. Families are yet again facing the challenge of ensuring children’s online usage is balanced, healthy, and safe. Here are a few of the issues around increased screen time: • Disrupted sleep: According to the National Sleep Foundation, blue light emitted from electronic devices disrupts quality shuteye, as it can delay the release of melatonin, a natural sleep hormone. Over time, compromised sleep can create a number of physical and mental health concerns. • Safety threats: With kids online more hours a day and less supervised than they would be during a typical school day, online predators have taken advantage of the situation. Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children’s Cyber Tipline reported a notable surge in complaints. • Mental health issues: The physical separation from friends, teachers and the classroom has created new mental health challenges for students, not all of which remote

learning can completely address. With many adults and kids alike experiencing “Zoom fatigue,” maintaining motivation throughout the school year will be even more challenging than in a typical year. Excessive online usage can also increase exposure to cyberbullying, and ultimately lead to other mental health issues, like anxiety and depression. Despite these new challenges, there are many steps parents can take to help kids strike a healthy balance with their screen time for a happier, more successful school year: • Set a schedule: A typical school day includes natural breaks. Families can recreate this at home with scheduled time for kids to walk around, stretch, and get fresh air between assignments. • Monitor online usage: With parents themselves busy during the day, monitoring what children are doing online is
a challenge in many cases, and impossible in others. However, screen time management solutions for parents, such as OurPact from Eturi Corp., can prove a valuable tool in keeping kids productive and safe. Using the app, parents can set schedules, grant access to needed sites, create daily screen time allowances, block inappropriate content and apps and monitor internet use. To learn more or download, visit OurPact.com. • Have a conversation: Families should have an open dialogue about healthy digital habits. Parents can back up these conversations by setting a good example with their own device usage. With the boost in online usage come new health and wellness challenges. At the same time, parents can help their children navigate the remote-learning environment by taking steps to promote healthy digital habits.

The Bridge
M
By: W.A.Rogers
any people are experiencing a great deal of physical and mental pain during these troubling times. I am rewriting this article which is taken from my book “The Art of W.A.R. Strategies for Self-Empowerment.
I wrote the article while in rehab a few years ago because of a profoundly serious accident. I still have moments of discomfort from the accident, so I am writing this article again to remind myself and hopefully to help others mental and physical pain. “The mind is the bridge between the spiritual world and the physical world”, a powerful statement made by my friend Astrologer Gale Armstead. The mind can entertain thoughts of darkness
or thoughts of light. Thoughts of positive light will allow the healing spiritual energy to pass though the mind to strengthen and heal the body. If you can face troubling times with a positive attitude not only will it help you overcome issue, but you will grow from the experience. I am sharing this with you because I have been able to put theory into practice. Positive thoughts are healing; negative thoughts block spiritual energy and can be destructive to the
healing balance of mind body and spirit. If you are reading this article you might be experiencing some type of emotional or physical pain; you might also be wondering why you, why is this happening to you. I suggest that you embrace your pain as an opportunity for mental and spiritual growth. My military and martial arts training allowed me to understand the importance of embracing what ever type of pain you might be experiencing. This will give you the ability to be in control. This
makes it easier to bring balance to your mind body and spirit. It allows you manifest solutions to your problems. Try to keep your thoughts positive allow your mind to become a bridge between the spiritual world of the universal mind and your physical body. Do not allow fear and doubt to attract negative low frequency dark thoughts. If you can do this you will find ways to overcome you physical or emotional pain. Not only will you become a better person, but you will be able
to become a positive influence to others without trying to. There is a saying that all things are beneficial, a very difficult concept to embrace but with faith you can allow your mind to become a bridge for spiritual and physical development and healing; if you can do this your ability to embrace this concept will be less difficult. If you would like additional information about my above mentioned current book send an email to onuwon@gmail. com or visit www. onuwon.com

By Zakiyyah
ast week we spoke about the eyes being the Windows of the Soul, and that the liver opens into the eyes. ANGER is associated with the liver/gall bladder, the eyes, the color green and the Wood Element. By nature, anger causes qi to rise, leading to a red face and red eyes, headaches, and dizziness. The Liver is the body’s largest organ, and the most sensitive, yet considered like “A GENERAL OF AN ARMY” because it maintains evenness and harmony of movement throughout the body! Because the “wood element” refers to the growing,
support structures, like the roots, trunk and limbs of trees and plants ~ it is connected to the body’s support structures, like the spine, limbs and joints. As a result, a wood imbalance can result in spinal problems, poor flexibility, or weak-rootedness. 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

“The Rock: Through the Lens: His Life, His Movies, His World,” photographs by Hiram Garcia REVIEW by Terri Schlichenmeyer, Harlem News contributor
Y
our favorite Hollywood star seems ten feet tall. After all, he’s bigger than life. Everybody knows him; he’s handsome and funny and, well, you’re pretty sure that if you ever met him, you’d probably be tonguetied. After all, the man’s famous! So would you be surprised, as in “The Rock: Through the Lens: His Life, His Movies, His World,” photographs by Hiram Garcia, to learn that your favorite star is a regular guy after all? Hiram Garcia was just a freshman in high
school back in 1991 but he was tall, often towering over the dudes his sister dated. And then she invited him to the University of Miami to meet her “new boyfriend” and she introduced Garcia to someone who was bigger than he was. He met a man he calls “DJ,” and a lifelong friendship was formed. For nearly three decades, Dwayne Johnson, Garcia, and Garcia’s sister have “come together in many creative ways,” including through their production company, which is responsible for some of Johnson’s biggest films and smallscreen programs. But, as
SUDOKU ANSWERS
this book shows, Johnson isn’t just the star of Jungle Cruise or The Titan Games. He’s also a pro wrestler, a father, and a guy who truly appreciates his fans – and that includes kids, a group that Garcia says Johnson particularly enjoys. Both staged and candid pictures in this book show all those aspects of Johnson’s life, and more. Here, for example, you’ll see Johnson’s love of family, his wife and daughters, his ex-girlfriend, as well as in-laws and extended family. There are many photos of “The Rock” in training, working out, and eating
right. Readers will see what kind of work it takes to maintain a double-career and still have time for a personal life and “horsing around” with friends and colleagues. You’ll see Johnson’s fun side, and his fan side. And you’ll see how Garcia came to understand that taking snapshots of his buddy, “DJ,” could ultimately take a hobby to the next level... Looking for something you can read quick? Here, it won’t take you long to get through “The Rock: Through the Lens: His Life, His Movies, His World” because there really isn’t much to read at all.
No, most of what photographer Hiram Garcia includes as narrative consists of captions to go along with the dozens
Harlem Community Newspapers | September 10. 2020
of pictures of the man he calls “the ultimate entertainer...” Some of these captions are only a few words long, others have more explanation to them, but the truth is that readers likely won’t dwell on this aspect of the book. Instead, the real reason to want this well-done coffee-table book is for the photos inside. They invite readers to linger, showing Johnson at his most pensive, enjoying his fans, and at work. The pictures appear to have been carefully chosen, and they won’t disappoint anyone ages 16 to adult. So get “The Rock: Through the Lens: His Life, His Movies, His World,” especially if you love the guy. Because this is a fan’s book, after all... “The Rock: Through the Lens: His Life, His Movies, His World,” photographs by Hiram Garcia c.2020, St. Martin’s Press $35.00 / $47.50 Canada 247 pages 17

SUBSCRIBE. DONATE. ADVERTISE. During times of crisis, crucial information about your community comes from local reporters. Access to high quality information is essential. Especially local information. And especially now. What’s happening in our communities? What’s the impact? How are our local leaders responding? For answers to these questions, we rely on the hard work of our local reporters. As a result, readership of local news outlets has reached record highs.
This message supported by
But due to COVID-19, most local news publications are losing money, fast. Advertising has plummeted during the crisis and readers aren’t subscribing fast enough to fill the void. This has led to thousands of local reporters being laid off. Just as our society faces numerous, urgent challenges. Millions of people are in danger of losing access to the authoritative local information they need to stay informed.
That’s why the National Newspaper Publishers Association and the National Association of Hispanic Publications are working with local news providers to build a strong future for local journalism. And that’s why our longtime partner Google is purchasing ads like this in local publications across the country, as well as providing a Relief Fund to help struggling local news outlets. But those actions
alone aren’t enough. Please consider supporting the local news organizations you rely on. Subscribe to them. Donate to them. And if you have a business that’s able to, advertise with them. Your support is critical to sustaining the dedicated journalists serving your communities. Our local news outlets help keep us safer. Let’s help keep them open.
