and sponsored an event at the Schomburg to promote the “Disney Dreamers Academy.” Harlem Community News has covered the “Disney Dreamers Academy” for the past 11 years and I have personally attended and covered the event for 10 of the past 11 years. From my own experience I can tell you it is an inspiring experience for all. I have witnessed the transformation of the youth as I have interviewed some on day 1 and then again on day 3 - as Jonathan Sprinkles says, “they come in with a dream and leave with a plan.” I have witnessed the proud parents who get to see this 3 day transformation as their child gets this opportunity of a lifetime. It is truly amazing what the partnership of Disney, Steve Harvey and Essence have done transforming the lives of over 1,100 youth in the past 11 years. The “Good News” is – there is still time for your child, grandchild, nephew, neice, godchild, neighbor or any youth you know to apply and be among the 100 to be chosen to attend in 2019. Applications are based on an essay of their stated dreams. This is not about their grades it is about their ability to “Dream – Big.” Deadline to apply

An interview with Jerry Craft By Marisol Rodríguez
H
arlem-born author, illustrator and nice guy Jerry Craft has been teaching valuable life lessons through his picture books and graphic novels for many years now, earning him five African American Literary Awards. Craft is also the co-founder of Schomburg’s Annual Black Comic Book Festival started in 2013. His current graphic novel, part personal memoir, “New Kid” will be released by Harper Collins on February 5, 2019. HCN: Our readers are familiar with your comic strip Mama Boyz featured weekly, what was your inspiration for creating it? JC: First, I wanted to do a comic strip that featured African-American charac-
Jerry Craft, photo credit: Hollis King
ters. When I was a kid, there weren’t too many. Luther, Wee Pals, Curtis, Jumpstart... In fact, I don’t think that much has changed today. But I wanted to create something that was built on things such as morals, literacy and good clean family humor. Second, when
I was growing up, most of my friends lived with either their mom or their grandmother. I was one of the few kids who was fortunate enough to live with both my mom and my dad. So I wanted to create a comic strip that paid my respect to all the hard-working mothers who raise kids on their own. HCN: October is National Bullying Prevention Month and you have written about this topic in some of your books including “The Offenders: Saving the World While Serving Detention.” How does your work address this serious topic? JC: It is a story of five middle-school bullies who get superpowers. But instead of them being able
to transform into cool superheroes like Spider-Man or Black Panther, they are forced to take on the characteristics of the kids who they pick on. So one gains 100 pounds; one becomes paper thin; one is super smart but physically uncoordinated. . .Now they have to try to protect the school, but they’re embarrassed to go outside because they get teased based on their physical appearance. Karma! The main thing that I wanted to accomplish was to create a book that teaches kids the negative effects of bullying without beating them over the head. So I used a lot of humor and adventure to promote empathy. I even enlisted the help of my two sons as co-authors. HCN: Your forthcoming
graphic novel “New Kid” is inspired by your own experiences as one of few students of color at a prep school in Riverdale. Why did you choose to write this book? JC: My main goal with “New Kid” is to create an iconic African-American character that will appeal to both our kids and mainstream readers. It’s loosely based my life of growing up in Washington Heights, and instead of going to the art school of my dreams, my parents sent me to The Fieldston School in Riverdale. So each day, I hopped on the bus (from Washington Heights) and went from the comfort of my predominately African-American neighborhood to a school where I was one of ten Black kids in a class of one hundred. There was no special counseling. And no
instruction book. Which, there probably should be! HCN: What advice would you offer youth out there who have dreams of being a comic/graphic novel writer, illustrator or both? JC: My parents didn’t think that anyone could make a living as an artist. But I am, and have been for decades! In the past few years, the market is being more open to seeing Black characters in the lead. Look at what “Black Panther” did at the box office! So, practice. Give yourself a break if your work isn’t perfect. It’s never going to be! I think I’m a much better artist now than I was six months ago. And I’ll be a much better artist in six months than I am now.

Nigeria’s 2018 Olojo Festival Time for African Americans to “Come Home”
By Dr. Benjamin F. Chavis, Jr., President and CEO, National Newspaper Publishers Association
Harlem Community Newspapers | October 4. 2018
O

ne of the best kept secrets among African Americans is how much our brothers and sisters in Africa enthusiastically would love for us to “Come home.” Such was the case most recently in Nigeria as delegations of African Americans traveled to lle-Ife, Nigeria, the ancestral home of the Yoruba culture and tradition, for the 2018 Olojo Festival, September 28-October 2, 2018. I was pleased to be joined on this unique and meaningful pilgrimage to Nigeria by Claudette Perry of the National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA); Jeffery Boney, Texas city councilman and contributing writer for the NNPA; Tish Bazil, author and photographer; and Gary Foster, videographer and social media visionary. We were invited to attend the Olojo Festival by His Imperial Majesty The Ooni of Ife, who is the global leader of Yoruba and King of the Osun State in Nigeria. Ile-Ife is one of the oldest cities in the world dating back thousands of years. Yes, Africa is very rich with oil, gold, diamonds, uranium, titanium, platinum and other precious stones and metals. Africa’s richest resource, however, is its human resource in the
context of thousands of years of culture, language and tradition. Nigeria is Africa’s most populous nation with over 190 million people. But from what we witnessed firsthand during the five days while we were in Ile-Ife, it was the culture that has had and will continue to have the greatest impact on unifying Nigerians and all people of African descent throughout the Diaspora. The Olojo Festival was one of most authentic and impactful cultural festivals that we had ever seen. We saw vibrantly displayed cultural genius in native language, traditional dress, dance, spirituality, pageantry and food. In fact, we experienced a real-life “Wakanda” celebration of the sanctity, diversity, and cultural wealth of Africa in the ancient sacred city of Ile-Ife, Nigeria. The Yoruba language and cultural manifestations were so evident at the Olojo
Festival that we were all moved to tears of insatiable joy and passionate responses. In preparation for this year’s Olojo Festival, H.I.M.The Ooni Of Ife, stated, “We are set for a legacy project that will uplift one of the oldest cities in the world and put it on the global tourist map.” I certainly plan to let all of our NNPA member publishers and media company owners know about this historic city and all-inspiring annual festival. We should start planning now for next year’s festival. In truth, African Americans have so many issues that are impacting our quality of life, some may ask, “Why should we focus on Nigeria and other nations in Africa?” The answer to that question is quite factual. African Americans have a history that did not begin or end in slavery in the United States. Our ancestry in Africa needs to be better known, appreciated
and embraced. We must travel back to our ancestral homelands. We must reconnect with who we really are without the trappings and ornaments of white supremacy. We are an African people. That is more than a Pan-African slogan from the 1960’s. Our children and our grandchildren should be told the truth about our African past, present and future. It is our responsibility and opportunity to reconnect to Africa beyond sentimentalities. It is time to develop joint economic development ventures. Our Historical Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) should teach African languages and culture as a prerequisite for graduation. We should hold our family reunions in Africa. The NNPA will take trade delegations to Nigeria and to other African nations. The African Press Association will become a member of the NNPA. We know that there will always be challenges both at home and abroad. The point here is that African leaders such as H.I.M.The Ooni of Ife are calling for all of us to “Come home.” Dr. Benjamin F. Chavis Jr. is the President and CEO of the National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA) and can be reached at dr.bchavis@nnpa. org

Valerie Jo Bradley, Co-founder, Save Harlem Now. Above mentioned are the speakers and presenters who will participate in the upcoming 125th BID Annual Meeting being held on October 10th. Over the last couple of years, there have been several articles in the major and local newspapers about churches being sold and this includes Harlem. These headlines have caught the attention of other church owners, community boards, community organizations, the developers, community, and residents. The topic is discussed in personal conversations, religious institutions, government, political campaigns, social gatherings, social media and more. These articles point out a combination of reasons
for the sell offs. Some of these include changing demographics, dwindling memberships, high maintenance cost, financial and other difficulties, improvements to properties, and soaring land prices. Many of these factors create a marketplace for developers. The community is witnessing churches making many decision including selling, making improvements to their properties, converting office spaces to residential space, expanding community outreach and providing community services such as day care, soup kitchens, etc. In the upcoming year, the BID is launching an initiative that will focus on “Conversations that Should be Had.” Our 25th Annual Meeting kicks off this program. Too often, topics such as these have

Closing the Digital Divide Part IIIl
C
losing the Digital Divide is a three part article about the Digital Divide Partnership (www.ddpny.org) the only Harlem based Black owned technology company that has Federal, New York State and City licensing that gives them the authorization to provide the same services provided by major broadband service companies. Rather than trying to compete with large companies like Spectrum, Cablevision and Verizon,
Doug Frazier and Stu Reid, the two co-founders of DDP, decided to use their skills and abilities to provide free phone service, Wi-Fi and internet services to those who cannot afford to pay for this technology, a major step towards closing the digital divide in Harlem In this third and last part of the DDP story, I would like to focus on DDP’s current and future initiatives that will allow the company to play a major role in closing the digital divide for Harlem residents. Using broadband technology to improve community safety by extending the capacity for Harlem residents to
connect with anchor institutions like Harlem Hospital and WHCR.90.3/ www. whcr.org during emergencies is a current and future goal for DDP. DDP partners with WHCR 90.3 FM to host an annual Harlem Emergency Preparedness Day in September. This year’s event was held at the WHCR broadcast station located on the campus of The City College of New York. Everyone who attended received an emergency gobag. Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer, one of DDP’s greatest supporters, was the guest speaker. CPR instruction and information on how to turn a cell phone into a FM radio during an emergency was
given. Instructions on how to use DDP’s free internet program for the evacuation of disabled individuals, especially those who live in New York City public housing was also provided. Mrs. Polly Spain, Vice Chair of Manhattan Community Board #7 and President of the Federal 8 tenets association is very grateful for DDP’s free Wi-Fi program that each of the Federal 8 public housing projects located between West 94th street and 89th street participate in. According to Ms. Spain “DDP’s program has reduced crime and improved safety by placing video cameras in the lobby. Tenants can use their cell phones, TV and handheld devices to
by William A Rogers
view who’s coming in and who’s leaving the lobby.” Ms. Spain also said that “Federal 8 NYCHA tenants were the first public housing tenants in Manhattan to receive free wi-fi in 2011 thanks to DDP.” Mr. Ernesto Carrera, president of Stephen Wise Towers public housing projects also feels that the free wi-fi provided by DDP has improved safety and the quality of life for tenants in Wise Towers. Mr. Carrera stated that “I wish NYCHA could work closer with DDP to help provide free wi-fi and broadband to other NYCHA complexes”. Mr. Carrera feels that this could provide career and job opportunities for many of the tenants.
A future goal for DDP is to use their programs to stimulate the creation of local technology-related contractors, entrepreneurs and businesses; by providing contracting opportunities in network installation and maintenance for Harlem residents. DDP would also like to provide additional free community wi-fi hot spots like the ones that are currently used on the plaza of the Harlem State office Building, in River Bank State Park, at participating NYCHA locations, the City College NAC building plaza and Harlem Hospital.

Herbs Are Nature’s Medicine... Sacha Inchi By Zakiyyah
Harlem Community Newspapers | October 4. 2018

here is a natural product line of herbal formulas that are so superb and outstanding that they have raised the bar on my quality of health and life. I felt the difference after only one week, and after a few months there was a marked reduction in inflammation, and my blood pressure was in normal range for the first time in twenty years. One ingredient is SACHA INCHI, which I used to take daily as a nut oil. The seeds are rich in protein, omega 3, 6, and 9, vitamin A, E, and fiber. Doctors say omega 3 reduces insulin resistance for those with type 2 diabetes, as well as lowering
triglyceride levels in diabetics. In this formula, sacha inchi also contributes to regulating your appetite so we have less cravings, and snack less. Its anti-inflammatory aspects reduce inflammation in the brain (which can cause mood shifts, and headaches), which also makes it a good supplement to ease joint pain and rheumatoid arthritis. It lowers bad cholesterol and raises the good, and contains a precursor for serotonin, which is the feel-good hormone that helps us deal with stress. I take them every day, and recommend that you should too. Call or send me an email for more in-
formation about the product or to try the 1-week sample pack. . . .

We Are Not Yet Equal: Understanding Our Racial Divide

Featuring The Pain Free Method By Egoscue When: Tuesday 10/23/2018 & 11/13/2018 Where: Ki Energy Wellness Center 13 W 122nd St, New York, NY 10027 (Between Lenox Ave. & Marcus Garvey Park) Time: 6pm-8pm
blacks enslaved with the sharecropper system and jails to ensure that newly-gained rights were lost, sometimes for good. Many Southern states passed laws that further held black people from getting ahead, economically, politically, emotionally, and educationally, even though legal and constitutional efforts were made to squash those states’ efforts. Every time there was progress, it was thwarted in some way. And so it continues. Though the Constitution guarantees equality, say the authors, white rage still affects the day-to-day existence of most African Americans today, in that “black achievement” continues to be seen as threatening. “We know the consequences” of it, say Anderson and Bolden. So are we bold enough to choose a “different future” instead? As an “adaptation” of an adult book entitled White Rage, “We Are Not Yet Equal” is supposed to be a book for young adults. That’s close – but not quite. There’s still a lot to ab-
sorb inside this book that alterations didn’t change. Author Carol Anderson (with Tonya Bolden) didn’t pander to a younger audience in adapting this book to fit them; instead, they fit heavy-duty history into a narrative that still seems more like something an adult might easier grasp. Younger “young adults” – those who are twelve to perhaps fourteen – still may not be able to fully grasp the concepts of what’s inside; older teens may not have any trouble, but if they can handle this book, why not give them the original? To the good, “We Are Not Yet Equal” is filled with a history that’s disturbing and real, hidden and little-known, and it’s absolutely compelling – for an adult. Give it to a teen who’s not ready for it yet, though, and it might make them see red. “We Are Not Yet Equal: Understanding Our Racial Divide” by Carol Anderson with Tonya Bolden, foreword by Nic Stone c.2018, Bloomsbury $19.99 / $25.99 Canada 270 pages

our blood is red. You were born with the same number of bones, ears, and appendages as everybody else and your requirements are food, air, water, shelter and love. Indeed, you’re just like other humans – but as you’ll see in the new book “We Are Not Yet Equal” by Carol Anderson with Tonya Bolden, you may’ve been set apart. We are all the same. Or, at least that’s what you’ve been told and you know that’s right, despite that racism is alive and (un)well in America . It comes, say Anderson and Bolden, from “white rage” driven by “black advancement” that “wreaks havoc subtly, almost imperceptibly.” It’s often silent, in other words, and it’s been around awhile: our third president approved the idea of shipping Black people away and out of the U.S. , but Anderson and Bolden start with the Civil War. At the very beginning of the War, Lincoln held a meeting with several influential black citizens and tried to get them to lead “their people” to South America . He seemed to believe that if they did, there would no longer be a war. That, of course, didn’t happen and there was a war. At the end of it, the Thirteenth Amendment was introduced to seemingly abolish slavery. Or not quite: Plantation overseers and landowners in Southern states discovered ways to keep newly-freed

Fannie Pennington Now Has Her Way By Lil Nickelson
I
t was a bright and sunny last day of summer 2018 on Saturday, September 22nd, 2018 that family, friends and others gathered at 11 am on the North east corner of 123rd Street and Manhattan Avenue for the renaming and unveiling of the Fannie Pennington Way street. Folks gathered for the street renaming included a former neighbor, Bettie Malloy, who is 85 years old who met Fannie when she moved to Harlem in 1959 and Linda “Cookie” Jackson who was a former owner of the original Red Rooster. Bettie recalled how she was very friendly and helpful to her when she first arrived here from North Carolina. Cookie remembered how after church on Sundays she would work the children’s parties that were

thrown at the original Red Rooster that was located on 138th Street and 7th Avenue (now Adam Clayton Powell
Jr., Blvd). Fannie Emma Pennington (February 1, 1914 – February 13, 2013) was an American activist, organizer, and fundraising coordinator for U.S. Congressional Representative (Harlem) Adam Clayton Powell, Jr.’s Isaac Democratic Club and the Abyssinian Baptist Church A.C.P. Overseas Club. Fannie Emma Pennington was born on February 1st, 1914 in Macon, North Carolina. Her family moved to Harlem when she was in elementary school and they worshiped at Abyssinian Baptist Church, where she was baptized by Rev. Dr. Adam Clayton Powell, Sr. and she became a good friend to Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. Fannie’s dad often took her to see the colored musical comedy shows at the

People assembled for street renaming
Fannie Emma Pennington joined her ancestors on February 13th, 2013, 12 days after she turned 99 years old according to her grandson, Grant Harper Reid. When asked what his grandmother taught him he said, “To always have faith in the Lord because God will always take
care of you and have your back. I want people to remember that my grandmother was part of the unique fabric and tapestry of Harlem who took pride in our community. She and her friends brushed away their differences to fit together for civil rights and the right to vote.”

"Dental health, like success, is not a des na on but a con nuous journey"
Lafayette Theatre and in adulthood Fannie yearned to become a dancer on the stage and screen like her girlfriends, the Moses Sisters (Lucia Lynn, Ethel and Julia) and the McCormick Sisters (Pearl and Dolly) who were all professional dancers and actresses in films and Harlem clubs in the late 1920s. In the early 1930s she met and fell in love with married Harlem Renaissance director Leonard Harper, who was 15 years older than Fannie. Their romance produced Fannie’s only child, daughter Jean Harper. In the late 1940s, Fannie or “Miss P” as she was affectionately known, was a beautiful, elegant and popular bar maid at several clubs and bars in Harlem, including the original Red Rooster, the Palm Cafe and Tom Delaney’s Mirror Bar and she was often referred to as the “hostess with the mostest.” In 1958, Pennington stepped into the political arena, working on several fund-raising campaigns for Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. and community organizations. Then there was the historic March on Washington in 1963, where she coordinated buses from New York to Washington D.C. in an effort led by Bayard Rustin. In 1960 she formed and supervised The Glamourettes a group of young women who campaigned for the John F. Kennedy Presidential run. Fannie was a member of the New York City Board of Elections and the Frederick E. Samuel Community Democratic Club, the Satellite Club, the Courtesy Guild, the Progressive Ladies Usher Board of the Abyssinian Baptist Church, the ABC Welcome and Hospitality Committee.
