Earlier this month the Colonial Park Post Office was renamed Tuskegee Airmen Post Office. Another example that the culture and history of the African-American community will continue to be engraved in the buildings, statues, streets and parks of Harlem. It is a tribute to the contributions of the Tuskegee Airmen. (see page 4) Charles Gabriel of Charles Pan Fried Chicken has been part of the Harlem community for decades.

is Renamed Tuskegee Airmen Post Office By Lil Nickelson
O
n November 19th, 2018, Colonial Park Post Office was renamed Tuskegee Airmen Post Office. The ceremony was set to begin in 15 minutes at 11 am and the post office was packed with local elected officials and people who had Tuskegee Airmen in their families like me; my late great uncle Grant S. Williams Sr of Hampton, VA. Congressman Adriano Espaillat has made it his mission to make sure a post office in Harlem was renamed in honor of the Tuskegee Airmen, the first black squadron activated in the Air Force during World War II that broke racial boundaries in the military. The program was opened by Allen Tanko, NY District Manager for United States Postal Service who introduced the presentation of colors by the USPIS Color Guard. The National Anthem was led by Percival Prince USPS Manager BMEU. Then the local leaders and elected officials gave brief remarks, including; Congressman Adriano Espaillat, The Honorable Charles B. Rangel, NYS Assembly members Inez Dickens and Al Taylor, NYS Senator Brian Benjamin, Lisa Johnson Hodges, President New York Tuskegee Alumni Association and Athena Moore, on behalf of Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer and Geoffrey Eaton, President of the Mid-Manhattan NAACP
branch. Closing remarks were made by Lorraine Castellano, NY District Manager United States Postal Service and Tuskegee Airman Wilfred DuFour, who recently turned 100 years young. Tuskegee Airman Wilfred DeFour helped unveil a plaque with Congressman Adriano Espaillat, who has spearheaded the renaming process. “I feel great,” said DeFour. “I appreciate all of the appreciation. It’s a wonderful day for me.” DeFour said he did not know his service would make history. Small world that it is after serving in the military, DeFour worked for 33 years for the U.S. Postal Service, including as a manager at the branch just dedicated. So, imagine living long enough to see the post office that he worked at dedicated as an honor for all the Tuskegee Airmen and for the Harlem community. On January 16th, 1941 the War Department announced the creation of an
all-black fighter squadron to train at an airfield in Tuskegee, Alabama. The Tuskegee Airmen — 16,000 black pilots, technicians, and support staff who served during World War II. The famed group was formed after civil rights advocates pressed military officials to begin training African Americans to be pilots. They did not consider a man of color capable, able to fly an airplane and the airmen fought racism as they prepared to fight for our country. Mr. DuFour never flew; He said he was just doing his job, serving as the chief official in the engineering office. “I knew everything that went on in the organization because all the paperwork came through my desk,” said DeFour. he was treated better abroad than back at home. The service ended with the dedication of a capitol flag for the station and the singing of the Black National Anthem led by Percival Prince.

New Ways to Help Protect Your Home and Family (Statepoint)

hen it comes to your home, there is unfortunately no shortage of things that can go wrong and no shortage of culprits, from wicked weather to electrical fires. High winds, plumbing and appliance issues, hail, leaky roofs, frozen pipes and break-ins -- these are some of the most frequent causes of property damage, according to Travelers, which analyzed eight years of its homeowners insurance claims. But experts say that there are steps you can take to help protect your home and family from situations beyond your control, particularly when it comes to
some of the most common issues. “Beyond investing in an insurance policy, integrated smart home technology can go a long way toward helping you protect your home,” says Pat Gee, senior vice president of Personal Insurance Claim at Travelers. “Some of the most common situations we see might be prevented or mitigated with the use of smart home technology.” Gee points out that with a smart water sensor, for example, you could be alerted at the first sign of excess water where it doesn’t belong and take care of it before it’s too late, or, with a smart motion sensor, you’ll know about unusual activity on your property in real time. Travelers thinks that
smart home technology is a game changer when it comes to protecting homes and property, so it has teamed up with Amazon to offer integrated smart home solutions at a discount to the insurer’s eligible customers. Customers can choose between a Smart Kit, Smart Kit Plus and Smart Kit Premier, which include an Amazon Echo Dot, security cameras, water sensors, motion detectors and a smart home hub to centrally control these devices from one app. Travelers is also offering discounted kit installation, providing free Amazon Echo Dot devices to eligible customers, and has introduced new Alexa skills to help answer billing questions and provide property maintenance and

“Traditional smoke alarms and home security systems are helpful, but there are new, proactive ways to monitor your home, including devices that are easier to use and more af-
fordable than ever,” says Gee. “There has never been a better time to explore smart home solutions that can enhance your home’s security and help provide peace of mind.”

How to Stretch Your Holiday Budget by Saving on Mobile Devices
W
ith this year’s holiday spending expected to rise over last year, according to the National Retail Federation estimates, you may be planning to spend more on décor, gift-giving and travel. If your seasonal plans also include upgrading mobile devices for yourself or for loved ones, keep in mind that you can make room in your budget for those other holiday expenditures by not paying the price for a brand-new model. The alternative? A refurbished device. Experts say the idea that all refurbished devices were broken or had problems in a past

is very easy to find affordable, high-quality refurbished devices.” Indeed, many mobile phones, tablets and
accessories that come from trade-in and upgrade programs were perfectly good devices that owners traded in for newer models. With so many consumers out there reliably seeking the latest, such trade-ins and sales are becoming more popular, making it easier to navigate the market for a previously owned device. If you do go this route this holiday season, be sure to stick with reputable sources where you can trust the device to be in fully functional condition and opt for the longest guarantee available, at least 90 days. For example, those from
MyWit undergo an extensive 65+ point inspection of cosmetics, functionality and connectivity to ensure optimal performance. Tests verify every function that a customer can use (camera, audio, SIM, WiFi, Bluetooth, etc.) is in 100 percent working order and connectivity tests ensure wireless devices deliver a consistent quality of connection and do not drop available signals. When it comes to mobile upgrades, replacements and tech gifts, you can make this holiday season merrier and more affordable with refurbished devices.

Jacob’s Restaurant Giving Thanksgiving Meals By Lil Nickelson
Y
ou could walk right past Rachid Niang and not even realize that you just passed by the owner of three food establishments in Central Harlem. He and his wife Kim are humble people who are worker bees and they are instilling that work ethic into their daughter and son as well. The line to get into the Jacob’s Restaurant locations at 373 Lenox Avenue on the south west corner of 129th Street and at 2695 Frederick Douglass Blvd on the north west corner of 143rd Street were long, but the people were patient given the frigid weather we were experiencing on Thanksgiving Day. For the past eight years Rachid and Kim Niang have opened these two locations to give food away out of love to Harlem residents. Barbara, a 71-year old faithful customer told me, “The food is great.” I saw the incomparable Ms. Vy Higginsen, noted author, playwright, radio and TV personality. You never know what
celebrity, politician or community leader may join Jacob’s on Thanksgiving Day to help sercve of just as a special guest. David Taylor, the manager of the Frederick Douglass Blvd store summed things up best when he told me, “It’s a blessing to give back and to show our love and appreciation with good service.” Each customer received two trays of food, one for hot food and one for cold or salad bar choices and a beverage to go. Princess Jenkins, the owner of The Brownstone boutique located at 24 East 125th Street and her family helps to serve food at the Lenox Avenue location every year. Rev. John Davis, Senior Pastor of First Baptist Church located just down the street from the Frederick Douglass Blvd location was helping to serve at that location. His house of worship has a special relationship with the Niangs and he loves helping before he goes home to his family and give thanks. I spoke with other volunteers as well like Quennasira

important because it sets the tone for your dining experience.

Charles Pan Fried Chicken By Lil Nickelson
Harlem Community Newspapers | November 29. 2018
2018 has been a phenomenal year for Charles Pan Fried Chicken, Inc. The next to last day of the 4th Annual Harlem EatUp Festival on Saturday, May 19th, 2018 Charles Pan Fried Chicken, Inc had one of the longest lines in the rain at the Ultimate Grand Tasting outdoor event at Morningside Park (112th Street and Manhattan Avenue) called The Harlem Stroll. Could it be because his tasting portions were much larger portions than any other food vendor in the park that day or was it because some of our first-time visitors to Harlem had ever tasted classic soul food he served up like fried chicken, baked macaroni and cheese and collard
12
greens? Charles Pan Fried Chicken, Inc. located at 2461 Frederick Douglass Blvd at 132nd Street was invited to participate in the 2018 New York City Wine & Food Festival and he chose to vend at Saturday’s grand tasting on October
13th, 2018. This is Charles Pan Fried Chicken, Inc.’s first time being invited to showcase the restaurant’s soul food cuisine at NYCWFF and Charles is personally looking forward to sharing the love he puts into every dish he prepares. Charles wants to do his part to end hunger in NYC . About two weeks after the NYCWFF Charles received a scroll in the mail from the James Beard Foundation informing him that he was a semi-finalist in the 2018 Best Chef New York City category. Charles wasn’t even aware that he was even in the running, let alone that he was picked as a semi-finalist; remarkable. Charles Gabriel got his
start in the NYC food service industry 57 years ago when he went to work for Copeland’s (the fancy restaurant) and Re-
liable Catering (the Sweetie Pie’s style cafeteria eatery) that was on 145th Street in between Amsterdam Avenue and
Broadway owned by the late Mr. Calvin Copeland. Charles worked in various roles for Mr. Copeland over a 22-year period before he decided to start his own business. Cooking classic soul food dishes, he learned as a child back in Charlotte, North Carolina using his mother’s recipes, Charles started his first food service business 35 years ago on a food truck long before it was chic. He saved up the funds to open his first brick and mortar store called Charles Country Pan Fried Chicken on 151st Street and Frederick Douglass Blvd. Over the years he expanded to three locations on the block. In 2016 he decided to move to a new location in Central Harlem and with the new location came a revised business name as well. Charles Pan Fried Chicken has 19 seats for customers to eat in and is located at 2461 Frederick Douglass Blvd at 132nd Street; you can order take out and he caters as well. The store is open seven days a week for brunch 11 am to 2 pm and dinner is served until 10:30 pm on weekdays and until 11 pm on the weekends.

“Remembrance” by Mary Monroe REVIEW by Terri Schlichenmeyer, Harlem News contributor
F
or weeks, you’ve been scouring the stores. You have a lot to give. Most of it is wrapped up colorfully, beribboned and bowed. Some gifts are in bags with shiny trim, while others are tucked away in closets. You have a lot to give this holiday season, but in the new novel, “Remembrance” by Mary Monroe, when you give of yourself, you also get. Beatrice Powell couldn’t understand what was wrong with people. When she married Eric all those years
ago, he told her that she could do whatever she wanted, as long as it made her happy – and so she found an excuse to throw dozens of annual parties. The biggest one was her Christmas-birthday celebration and everyone always had a good time. This year, though, all her usual guests made other plans that weekend. This year, Bea had extra to celebrate. It was the twenty-fifth anniversary of the day she almost died of a hit-and-run accident, a date that she could never forget. She was still a teenager then; only

the CPR skills of a handsome but anonymous man had saved her. Each anniversary, that day weighed on Bea’s mind and she gave of herself in gratitude for her life. Because Eric’s business was successful, she didn’t have to work for money; instead, she worked at Sister Cecile’s soup kitchen, and helped feed the homeless. It was a job that fulfilled her soul, and she tried to lift up the people she served with smiles and little kindnesses. But while she put on a cheery face at the shelter, this par-

to keep you reading and a good amount of characters that are basically pretty simple, but the story is not boring. Readers should also know that the plot is on the unsophisticated side, and predictable, but not entirely so. In short, this short little book is an excellent choice if your book group wants to squeeze in a before-the-holidays pick. It’s perfect for tucking in your handbag, and those waittimes you’ll have. Because, of course, you need that now, “Remembrance” is worth giving a try. “Remembrance” by Mary Monroe c.2018, Kensington $20.00 / $21.95 Canada 193 pages

ty-not-party bothered her. Her three grown children couldn’t attend, her parents were going on a cruise, even her socalled best friends were declining. Was her Mama right, that there were too many parties? Did her oldest friend have a point, that Bea was too self-focused? Was she bored with her marriage, and
was it time to separate from her husband? Could an angel in disguise soothe her mind? The holidays can bring the kind of chaos, good and bad, that occupies your brain. It’s easy to forget to bring your gratitude. “Remembrance” has that covered. For an adult who likes quick, painless novels at a time when reading might feel like a luxury, author Mary Monroe offers a book that’s easy to grab and finish. “Remembrance” is as uncomplicated as they come, which is nice when your mind is on other things: it’s perfect for starting and stopping as time warrants. It’s filled with just enough drama
