We’re Branching Out! Industrial Bank Acquires City National Bank in Newark, NJ

4

WASHINGTON – Since 1934, Industrial Bank has played a pivotal role in the growth and economic development of the Washington, DC metropolitan area through its essential products and services, customer care and community service. Today, the Bank announced it has acquired City National Bank, with two branches in New Jer-sey and one branch in Harlem, New York. Industrial Bank has as-sumed all City National Bank’s deposits. For now, no account fees or interest rates will change and customers are permitted to close accounts without penalty until they enter a new deposit agreement with Industrial Bank.

“We’re excited about welcoming City National Bank’s customers and teammates to the Industrial Bank family.” stated Industrial Bank President and CEO B. Doyle Mitchell, Jr.. “This acquisition will allow us to expand our footprint into the northeast region and deepen our commitment to impacting economic development in various communities”.

Much like Industrial Bank, City National Bank was started to fill a great economic void within the African American community whose access to credit and banking services was historically limited. We consider this more of a partnership than an acquisition as we have enjoyed a long-standing relationship with City National Bank and its great team of bankers who share our common values and commitment to community service.

On top of loan awards and financial services, a s a C ommunity Development Financial Institution (CDFI), Industrial Bank reinvests over 60% of its assets back into the community every year and continues to activate and support community programs. Bank President B. Doyle Mitchell, Jr., as did his father and grandfather before him, still believes in the importance and power of financial education, entrepreneurship and homeownership.

On August 20th, Industrial Bank celebrated its 85th anniversary and remains committed to giving back to any community that it calls home.

ABOUT INDUSTRIAL BANK: Industrial Bank is one of the largest African American owned banks in the United States. Since 1934, Industrial Bank has been a strong partner for small and large businesses, homeowners, and personal banking account customers in the Washington, DC and surrounding metropolitan areas.

earn about the investment options available to you that make the most sense for your long-term financial success.

Investing can help your money grow. But before you move your money to anything riskier than a savings account or IRA, you should review the ways you can do so.

Making well-advised investments comes down to cultivating the right mindset and getting educated about the options available to you. Investing can be a means to secure your longterm financial health, but you should also consider the risks attached to each investment option, and how these relate to your own willingness to take on risk.

Framing investment risk against your own long-term priorities can help you decide what investment vehicles will be best.

Follow these key steps to hone your investing strategy.

Choose investment priorities Ask yourself why you want to invest: Is it to prepare for retirement, buy a home, or start a new business? How much money will you need for your goals? Then, organize your investment priorities by the amount of time needed to achieve them. Writing them down can help you think clearly about which goals you have, and which you need to start with.

Your investment priorities should also be informed by your particular financial situation. You should invest no more than you can afford to lose. That way, you won’t jeopardize your short-term financial health as you work toward achieving more long-term aims.

Invest in your company’s employer-sponsored retirement plan

It’s never too early to start investing in your retirement. Take advantage of your employer’s plan, if they offer one. Set aside as much money as your employer is willing to match. (Photo: iStockphoto / NNPA)

It’s never too early to start investing in your retirement. Take advantage of your employer’s plan, if they offer one. Set aside as much money as your employer is willing to match.

Employer-sponsored retirement plans can take many forms, such as a 401(k), 403(b), or 457(b).

Some people choose to manage their own investment portfolio by investing in a mixture of stocks and bonds. A portfolio with more stocks than bonds is considered higher risk, along with a potential for high returns on investment, while a portfolio with more bonds than stocks will be the opposite. If you choose to manage your own retirement portfolio, think about which balance makes the most sense for you.

That balance could also shift over time depending on your risk tolerance as you get older. For example, as you near retirement, investing in less risky bonds rather than stocks could be a better approach. Generally, you can afford to take on more risk earlier in your career because you have time to adjust if the market takes a downturn before you withdraw the money. Once you’re closer to retirement, you’ll want to take on less risk to help ensure your retirement funds are more secure when you need them.

Work with a financial planner Everyone prefers a dif-

ferent level of autonomy when it comes to investing. While those who want to retain complete control can pursue a self-directed investment strategy, many find it helpful to seek outside advice. You can get started by visiting the Hands on Banking® website to get an understanding of the basics of investing and retirement, like how social security works, or what the difference is between stocks and bonds.

Another option to consider for guidance is robo-advisors. These online platforms provide an automated investment service, some of which with access to human financial advice.

You can also seek the advice of a Certified Financial PlannerTM (CFP®) to build a unique plan that works best for you. A CFP can help you manage your goals and simplify the complex world of investing. To find a CFP in your area, visit the Financial Planning Association’s national database. See if there are free resources available to you locally as well.

As you plan to invest, keep your personal financial goals in mind and be ready to adjust your plan as your situation changes.

When you prepare, investments can be a great way to help you reach financial goals. © 2019 Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. All rights reserved.

ast month, Council Member Adrienne Adams, in conjunction with the Queens Public Library, celebrated the reopening of the South Ozone Park Library.

The branch reopens following a much needed $579,000 roof replacement project. This project will ensure the resilience of the structure of this popular branch that has fostered intellectual curiosity for so many years.

Council Member Adrienne Adams, Queens Public Library President and CEO Dennis Walcott and local community leaders

celebrated the grand reopening with a special storytime for local students, conducted by Council Member Adams, and free giveaways for attendees.

“Public libraries are community spaces where residents of all ages can expand their horizons,” said Council Member Adrienne Adams. “I am proud to have provided funding for this important project. The community has eagerly anticipated the reopening of the South Ozone Park Library and I could think of no better way to celebrate than sitting down with local youths for storytime.”

“Queens Public Library is committed to creating safe, welcoming spaces that inspire our customers to pursue knowledge, information or a path to new opportunities,” said Queens Public Library President and CEO Dennis M. Walcott. “As we celebrate the reopening of our South Ozone Park branch, we are grateful to Council Member Adrienne Adams for allocating capital funds to replace the roof, allowing the community to continue benefiting from our resources, including early literacy programs, such as this storytime.”

U.S. Census Bureau is Hiring

t’s time for that once-every-10-years job opportunity! If you are looking to earn extra income for your household, you may want to consider becoming a U.S. Census worker. To prepare for the 2020 census, the U.S. Census Bureau is hiring thousands of recruits to work temporary jobs across the nation.

Working for the census will allow you to help out your community and earn money at the same time.

The U.S. Census helps determine each state’s representation in Congress, how funds are spent for schools, hospitals, and roads, and provides information to guide many decisions made by government agencies, private businesses and institutions.

Jobs within the census vary from working in the field canvassing, updating maps, doing follow-up interviews with citizens in your community, or working in an office as a clerk doing administrative tasks or office operation supervisor who oversees the field staff.

The Census is recruiting

Vol. 24, No 45 November, 2019

now due to the process of getting future employees through training and other screening processes. The majority of these jobs begin on April 1, 2020 and end in December of 2020.

To be able to work for the census you must: • Be 18 years old • Have a valid Social Security number • Be U.S. Citizen • Complete an appli-

cation and answer assessment questions • Register with the Selective Service System • Pass a Census-performed criminal background check • Commit to completing training • Be available to work flexible hours Many older Americans

take on Census jobs after formal retirement from a full-time career.

But if you already have a job, you can still work for the Census. Your current job cannot clash with the hours you work for the Census or create any conflicts of interest. If you’re a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S military, you may be eligible for veterans’ preference.

Creative Ways to Budget for a Cheery Holiday Season

(Statepoint)

T

he holidays are fast approaching, making now the time to consider some wise strategies to get the most out of the season, without wreaking havoc on your personal finances.

Americans are projected to spend between 3.8 percent and 4.2 percent more this holiday season over 2018, according to the National Retail Federation.

Plugging in the 2018 estimate of $1007.24 spent per person, this year’s spending average could rise to $1,049.54 -- in many cases, money that families don’t currently have.

Nearly 60 percent of Americans don’t have $500 in savings, according to CNN.com and the average credit card debt per household (as of May 2019) is

(c) LuckyBusiness / iStock via Getty Images Plus

$8,402, according to The Balance. Even with above minimum monthly payments of $250 and a (below average) 12 percent interest rate, CreditKarma.com calculates that it would take 3.5 years to pay off that debt.

For a merry holiday season that leaves you in good financial standing, consider

these savvy spending strategies.

• Game the Gift Card System: Gift cards don’t have to be used only for what their name implies.

Buy them for your own use from stores where you later plan to holiday shop. By spending a little at a time, the expense of the season won’t sting as much. To

get even more bang for your buck, buy gift cards at discounted rates from online consumer-to-consumer markets specifically for offloading unwanted gift cards.

• Go Digital: Download shopping apps to your smartphone that will scan prices on any given item across the sites of major retailers. This is one of the easiest ways to score the best deals available shopping online without doing so much as lifting a finger.

• Buy Now, Pay Later: Like the shop now, pay later concept? Investigate your workplace benefits. Many voluntary benefits packages include services like Purchasing Power, a specialty e-retailer that gives workers the opportunity to shop thousands of products, buying brand name items now and make manageable pay-

ments over time on those items through payroll deductions. This can simplify the task of holiday budgeting.

“The holidays are one of the most expensive times of year, particularly when there’s travel involved or those wish-lists are stacked with big-ticket items,” says Elizabeth Halkos, chief operating officer for Purchasing Power, LLC. “This solution empowers you to pay over time right from your paycheck, while reducing your exposure to the pricey pitfalls associated with other payment options that include fees and interest.”

Ask your employer if an employee purchase program and other financial wellness benefits like PurchasingPower.com are available to you.

• Track Your Brands: Do

you or your gift recipients have some favorite brands or stores? “Like” and follow these companies on social media for access to exclusive promotions and coupons.

• Set Limits: Consider instituting family-wide spending limits on gifts, or suggest a “Secret Santa” gift exchange. This can relieve both financial and social pressure associated with being the biggest spender. Spending limits can actually be more fun than they sound, encouraging gift-givers to get creative, artistic and resourceful.

Don’t forget that the meaning of the season is not to rack up costly debt. Using new strategies and innovative tools, you can budget for a joyful holiday season and enter the new year on solid financial footing.

26TH-ANNUAL HARLEM HOLIDAY LIGHTS EVENT November 20th

t a recent event, held at Settepani Restaurant on Malcolm X Blvd., the president and CEO of the 125th Street Business Improvement District, Barbara Askins, officially kicked-off the countdown to the 26th annual Harlem Holiday Lights 2019 celebration. This year the highly anticipated holiday event, which is held in partnership with Manhattan Community Board #9 and #10, and dubbed, Harlem Light It Up 2019, will take place on November 20th (rain date/Nov. 25th), with activities planned throughout the day, leading up to the highlight - the Parade of Lights that will herald the lighting of the legendary 125th St. corridor beginning at Morningside Avenue and 125th St. and covering a 10-block stretch.

Over the years, the event has become a prominent part of the city’s key holiday celebrations, attracting both public and media attention. Ms. Askins, who has been responsible for organizing and helping to make this event an annual tradition says, “We want to make it bigger and better every year. We want this holiday event in our community, to be something that everyone in the city will want to be a part of.”

This year’s three distinguished Grand Marshals are: Laiona Michelle, an actor/ singer/writer who made her Broadway debut in the 2015 hit musical Amazing Grace and recently broke box-office records at the George Street Playhouse with her performance as Nina Simone, in Little Girl Blue, a musical that she both wrote and headlined. Ms. Michelle is now the book writer on a new musical headed for Broadway in 2020, based on the life of Nelson Mandela.

Korey Wise, one of the Central Park Five, a public speaker

and social justice activist, who has risen to prominence since the Five were acquitted and released from prison for a crime they did not commit. His story has been a key factor in the public and critical acclaim that the Netflix miniseries, directed by Ava Duvernay, “When They See Us,” has received.

Leah Abraham is an Ethiopian-American entrepreneur who brings a dynamic multi-cultural foundation to everything she does, and who has elegantly traversed work-life balance to establish a successful business in the community. This amazing woman has found numerous ways to give back to the Harlem community through her passionate commitment to the business she has helped establish, Settepani Restaurant.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT Included among the numerous planned activities surrounding the Harlem Holiday Lights 2019 event, is the return participation of Disney’s Marvel Superheroes; this year, Spiderman and Black Panther will be on hand for meet and greets, photo opportunities, and special appearances at various planned activities throughout the day. They will also be part of the big countdown to the Parade of Lights signaling the lighting of the 125th Street corridor.

Manhattan Borough President

Gale Brewer, a big supporter of this event, will host her annual VIP Reception. Manhattan Community Board #9’s Children’s District will honor the 100th anniversary celebration of the Harlem Renaissance with featured guest, the Swing Dance Society, in addition they will have face painting, an appearance by the Snow Queen, and much more for the children.

The Health & Fitness District, sponsored by Emblem Health, Blink Fitness, Ryan Health and Zwanger Perisi will once again set up free health screenings and will provide access to important information promoting a healthier lifestyle for the entire family. Blink Fitness will be hosting an invigorating early morning workout, and Zwanger, a premier radiology company that has joined the 125th Street BID District, will host an open house reception and tour of their newest uptown facility.

Among the new participants this year – the Curvy District by Lov n My Curves will host a series of events including a fashion show featuring plus-size models and meet and greets sponsored by 125th Street retailers Ashley Stewart and Lane Bryant whose audience is primarily the plus-size woman. An ensemble of thirty plus-sized models in outfits inspired by, and looking much like the Radio City Rockettes, will be on hand for photos opps, meet and

greets, and appearances at the various events. Also, joining the celebration for the first time this year will be the Apollo Theater, Harlem Stage, United House of Prayer for All People, the Mali Music Festival, NYCHA Digital Education Van, Joshua Balloons, who will donate a Balloon Selfie Frame set up, Carver Bank, and Industrial Bank (formerly City National Bank) will host a reception.

Property owners along the 125th Street location will add to the festive atmosphere by decorating their properties in appropriate holiday decor. The 125th Street corridor will be buzzing with both in-store and outdoor activities.

Broadway actress and singer Rema Webb will be the stage manager for the New York City Parks and Recreation Community Stage that will feature acts that include Classical Theater of Harlem, NYCHA, Michelle Sweeting, RAM, Tyrick, Evan Cole, Diva Nation, Funk Revolution Uptown Dance Academy, Jacqueline Constant, Rudeal Drears, Lady Meeka and much more.

This year’s Parade of Lights will have a caravan of 10 floats – each sponsored by a Harlem community organization, local political leaders, community boards, as well as members of the local businesses community. Each float will be festooned with lights and alive with the sound of music and merriment befitting the season.

The three Grand Marshals will be the special guest on the BID float along with the Marvel Characters and the Rockettes inspired curvy models. Add to that 8 totally blinged-out Slingshot cars from the Sling Kingz, and the Parade of Lights is complete.

As the floats move down 125th Street from Morningside heading east, the spectacular, well-orchestrated lighting of 125th Street will be activated.

“The participation this year has hit a new high,” says Ms. Askins.

“We are thankful to all of the businesses and all of our community representatives and organizations that are helping us blow this event out. The historic community of Harlem deserves the kind of attention that is often relegated to the downtown communities,” she added.

The Harlem Holiday Lights/ Light it Up 2019 activities will start on the morning of November 20th and will continue throughout the entire day along 125th Street.

The parade route covers 10 blocks along the 125th Street corridor beginning at Morningside heading east and will circle back up 125th Street to Broadway, looping around to end up where it began.

The 125th Street Business Improvement District, created in 1993, is managed by the 125th Street District Management Association. Property and business owners, community and government leaders, residents and staff, all work closely together to improve the experiences of those who live, work, visit and invest in the Harlem Community. The 125th Street BID seeks to: catalyze economic development; encourage the going revitalization and promotion of 125th street as a premier art, culture and entertainment destination; facilitate active tourism; increase pedestrian mobility and give the streetscape a cohesive modern appearance, while reducing clutter; develop additional public space; include public art throughout the district; and create a high quality urban environment that contributes to an identity for the Harlem community.

URBANOLOGY

HARLEM COMMUNITY NEWSPAPERS

Urbanology: The Harlem Arts Gallery

F

By William A. Rogers

or over 25 years artist and residents of the Harlem Community considered the second-floor art gallery in the Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Harlem State Office Building located at 163 West 125th Street the Harlem Art Gallery: thanks to Gregory Javan Mills the Curator of the 2nd floor art gallery.

The Studio Museum in Harlem had been the curator of the 2nd floor art gallery until 1991 when state funding for the art gallery

was drastically cut.

Mr. Mills was no stranger to the 2nd floor art gallery because as a founding member of the Museum of African American Cinema he started the Black Film Festival at the art gallery in 1985. In the beginning the festival would show a black film once a month, the festival became so successful that films started to be shown twice a month.

Many people were not aware of the many positive all black movies filmed in the 20’s and the 30’s. Ralph Cooper who started the Apollo Amateur Hour in 1934, was a well know black cowboy actor in his early years. The Black Film Festival was both educational and entertaining.

Mills was also known for

his work with the International Agency for Minority Artist Affairs (IAMAA), an organization he founded in 1979 while a student at the New York School of Visual Arts.

Mills created IAMAA to help artist learn the business of art. Mills being an artist realized that many of the creative artist of color that he knew had no idea of how to run a business. When Mills was offered the position of Curator for the Harlem State Office Building’s art gallery in 1991, he said it was an offer he could not refuse. Even though funding for the position was a bare minimum Mills understood the position would give his organization the opportunity to provide a greater service to artist.

Since 1991 Greg Mills has curated over 400 art exhibitions giving 100’s of artist a free space to exhibit their works along with advice in business management for those who needed it. The cost of art exhibit gallery space can be very expensive for the past twenty-five years the Harlem Art Gallery became an important steppingstone in the careers of many artist by providing free gallery space Greg Mills have helped young artist create solo art exhibits, he has help plan group artist exhibitions as well as initiating special Curator’s group art exhibitions with artists and initiating special Curators’ group art exhibitions including one in 2011 that included over 100 artist in

a five part series in tribute to the artist Michel Basquiat entitled “Conjuration”. In 2008 coordinated a special visual exhibit in the gallery honoring Newly elected president Barack Obama entitled “Profound Audacity” In 2014 Greg Mills co curated a group art visual art exhibition with seventeen artist and cultural performers in a full artistic tribute to Trayvon Martin entitled “17: The Revolution Will Be Visualized”.

In 2018 Mills was informed by the State Office of General Services that he would no longer be the

Curator for the 2nd Floor Art Gallery to the shock of many Harlem Residence and artist of color throughout the tri-state area.

The IAMAA is still located on the 9th Floor of the Harlem State Office building if you are an artist interested in understanding the business of art call 212 749-5298 or email iamaa@pipline.com you can also visit www.artgalleryacp.com .

he past eight articles have been about the emotions’ effect on our organs and the illnesses we bear when we don’t have the proper diet, rest, meditation and harmonious love.

THE METAL ELEMENT comprises the Lungs (yin) and Colon (yang). MUCUS is a natural product of the blood, and a byproduct of digestion. The body needs mucus for maintenance of bone, muscle, joint and sinew lubrication, the product of digestive secretions, lymph, and overall, the insulation against extreme climactic conditions of cold and heat. When there is too much mucus, it tends to clog the vessels and impair circulation of energy

and blood.

The lungs, genito-urinary tract and digestive system are comprised of mucus secreting membranes. When there is excess mucus in the body, these areas are the first to show the imbalance by the secretion of phlegm from the lungs and fluidic discharge in the vagina.

The best herbs to use to accommodate the lungs and large intestines when they are out of balance, are categorized as E X P E C TO R A N T S : coltsfoot, yerba santa, sanicle, horehound, hyssop, pleurisy root, elecampane, wild cherry bark, et al.

“The Pretty One: On Life, Pop Culture, Disability, and Other Reasons to Fall in Love with Me” by Keah Brown REVIEW by Terri Schlichenmeyer, Harlem News contributor

I

t’s what’s inside that counts.

There’s a sentiment you’ve heard since you were a small child: don’t judge someone by their outward appearances. Look at their mind, see their heart, know who they are before you decide how you’ll act. As in the new book “The Pretty One” by Keah Brown, look past what they can’t do, and see what they can.

Keah Brown is cute.

Check it: #DisabledAndCute.

It wasn’t always that way: for much of her life, she’s “felt average, plain and wrong” and sometimes embarrassed but today, she

loves her body despite her cerebral palsy.

And why not? She can’t escape it, nor does she want to; in fact, she says her “disability is not a thing to see past but instead a thing to acknowledge and accept...”

You don’t even have to pretend to be PC with Brown; euphemisms, she believes, are for the discomforted able-bodied, not for those with a disability.

You can, however, apologize for the way people like her are treated when they’re minding their own business, living their lives. Strangers, for example, often approach Brown with unsolicited cures for her CP, but she’d

SUDOKU ANSWERS

rather we all use our energy to help ensure Black people with disabilities aren’t “invisible.”

Even better: make sure that nobody who’s Black is invisible. Period.

Brown grew up with a brother and a twin sister and she was treated the same as they were; she was a kid who just needed to take breaks, that’s all, no big deal. Well into grade-school before she realized that she had a disability; she still remembers the boy who made fun of her, who cruelly pointed out her CP. She wonders if he remembers what he did that day, because she surely does.

In this book, Brown writes with sorrow about the years she wasted being jealous of her able-bodied sister, and with gratefulness that they’re close now. She tells of the simple “freedom” that comes with figuring out how to style her own hair, and she wonders when she might find romance. If she can love herself, then surely someone else “will follow suit.”

No doubt, “The Pretty One” is a quirky kind of memoir.

When laying things out plainly, there aren’t many people more straightforward than author Keah Brown.

She talks candidly about her

disability, no beating around the bush or hinting at any-

Harlem Community Newspapers | November 14. 2019

thing, and facts are slapped on the table like a palm.

There’s a dash of humor inside some of her chapters, and solid rants elsewhere.

On the other hand, readers will find some weird, weird things in this book, including a chapter in which Brown gives human names to furniture; and extended references to some pretty off-the-beaten-path pop culture. Neither these, nor frequent repetition will endear readers to this book.

And yet, the overall narrative is quite eye-opening, especially for able-bodied readers who squirm in the presence of a wheelchair or a disability. Brown admits that she doesn’t speak for everybody, but “The Pretty One” has a lot to say inside.

What Everyone Should Know About Colorectal Cancer Screenings (Statepoint)

C

olorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related death in men and in women in the U.S., making screening one of the most important preventive health measures to take as an adult. While no one relishes cancer screenings, new recommendations can help those of average risk for colorectal cancer learn more about the importance of screenings, and the most effective strategy for completing them.

Recently published in “Annals of Internal Medicine,” a new evidence-based guidance statement from the American College of Physicians (ACP) says that physicians should screen for colorectal cancer in average-risk adults who do not have symptoms be-

tween the ages of 50 and 75, and that the frequency of screening depends upon the screening approach.

“Not enough people in the United States get screened for colorectal cancer,” says ACP president, Dr. Robert M. McLean.

“Physicians should perform an individualized risk assessment for colorectal cancer in all adults. Doctors and patients should select the screening test based on a discussion of the benefits, harms, costs, availability, frequency and patient preferences.”

ACP suggests any one of the following screening strategies: • Fecal immunochemical test (FIT) or high sensitivity guaiac-based fecal occult blood test (gFOBT) every two years • Colonoscopy every 10 years

• Flexible sigmoidosco- erage risk for colorectal py every 10 years plus FIT cancer who do not have every two years symptoms and does not apDr. McLean stresses that ply to adults with a family ACP’s guidance statement, history of colorectal cancer, which relied on evidence a long-standing history of presented or referenced inflammatory bowel disin selected guidelines and ease, genetic syndromes accompanying evidenceT:10”such as familial cancerous reports, is for adults at av- polyps, a personal history

of previous colorectal cancer or benign polyps or other risk factors.

While the median age for colorectal cancer diagnosis is 67 years, and individuals aged 65 to 75 years derive the most direct benefit from colorectal cancer screening, screening in

average-risk adults ages 50 to 75 also has benefit, ACP found.

All colorectal cancer-screening tests -- like all tests and procedures -have both potential benefits and potential harms, which vary by person and screening strategy.

Given the tradeoffs between benefits and harms, some patients may prefer less intensive screening such as beginning at a later age, stopping at an earlier age, or screening less frequently regardless of the test selected.

“This guidance statement is just that -- guidance.

Clinical recommendations may not apply to every patient or all clinical situations,” says Dr. McLean.

“That’s why patient-physician relationships and shared-decision making are so important.”

HARLEM COMMUNITY NEWSPAPERS Racially Discriminatory Legislation and Policies Must Be Stopped The Unintended Consequences of a Menthol Cigarette Ban to Black America From pro-slavery laws to Jim Crow, to Prohibition, to racial profiling, to Stop-and-Frisk, history is clear: racist laws and discriminatory bans have been devastating for Black America.

Today, Law Enforcement Action Partnership (LEAP) and National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA) have joined together with other African-American law enforcement executives to call on you - our readers in Black communities across the nation - to see the warning signs of yet another proposed racially discriminatory law: the menthol cigarette ban.

It is a well-known fact that over 85 percent of African Americans who smoke prefer menthol cigarettes. There is no factual basis to assert that a menthol cigarette ban will stop African Americans from smoking. In fact, the unintended consequences of such a raciallydiscriminatory ban will set the stage for more negative and more likely counterproductive interactions between law enforcement and African Americans.

While proponents argue that a menthol cigarette ban could encourage menthol cigarette smokers to quit smoking cold-turkey, another possible outcome could be extremely dangerous—the creation of an illicit market. If this happens, illegal sales of menthol cigarettes will likely be concentrated in communities of color, leading to a greater police presence, citations, fines, and arrests for selling a product that for the past 50 years has been legal.

Possible bans on menthol cigarettes are now being considered throughout the United States as add-ons to e-cigarette bans. It must be said that while FDA has deemed teen vaping an “epidemic,” there is no teen menthol cigarette epidemic. The fact is teen cigarette use has steadily been on the decline over the past decade.

Recently in New York, the mothers of Trayvon Martin and Eric Garner courageously issued a public statement warning against the consequences of a proposed menthol cigarette ban. Sybrina Fulton and Gwendolyn Carr stated, “When you ban a product sold mostly in Black communities, you must consider the reality of what will happen to that very same over-represented community in the criminal justice system.”

Law enforcement leaders like Law Enforcement Action Partnership (LEAP), National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE), Grand Council of Guardians, and National Association of Black Law Enforcement Officers (NABLEO) have stated countless times that a ban on menthol cigarettes will have unintended negative consequences, especially for African Americans.

Harlem Community Newspapers | November 14. 2019

Over the past 30 years, we have reduced tobacco consumption overall across this country by about 40 percent. And we did not do that with the criminal justice community. We did that with education, we did it with treatment, we did it from a health and educational perspective. Let’s continue with that. Let’s not do something that’s going to end up with these unintended consequences of increasing interaction between police and community members.

26

Major Neill Franklin (Ret.), Executive Director of the Law Enforcement Action Partnership (LEAP): “I dedicated 34 years of my life to public safety, enforcing the laws that our legislators placed before me. That’s what cops do, and we trust that those laws are well thought out, studied and based upon sound data and evidence. As we begin to mirror the days of alcohol prohibition with tobacco bans, expect the violence and corruption that comes with the illicit market and add something else, the over criminalization of the black community.”

Jiles Ship, President of the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives – New Jersey (NOBLE): “Banning menthol cigarettes would be a 21st Century attempt at Prohibition, a past failure of government to restrict a previously legal product. As we learned with Prohibition, every time the government tries to ban something, it seems to cause other problems. And unfortunately, a menthol cigarette ban would be another example of government action that disproportionately disrupts the Black community.”

Charles Billips, National Chair Person of Grand Council of Guardians, “The first question I asked is how are they going to implement this ban on menthol cigarettes, knowing that a large number of Black and Brown people smoke menthol cigarettes? It would be best to educate the communities on the affect it has on our health instead of a ban enforced through Law Enforcement.”

As The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once prophetically said, “The time is always right to do what is right.” And the right thing to do for our families and communities and for all who stand for freedom, justice and equality is to speak out against all forms of racial discrimination and disproportionate law enforcement, as well as the systems, laws, bans and policies that perpetuate them.

Speak out against racism. Stand up against discrimination. Let your voices be heard.

Benefit With The Goal Of Hiring An Alumni Director To Preserve A. Philip Randolph Campus High School History – Nov 20

A

. Philip Randolph Campus High School (APRCHS) has a rich, historic legacy in New York City’s Harlem Community. Throughout the years, APRCHS has provided solutions to address the specific needs of its diverse college bound student population. With a new and dedicated alumni relations director, successful and talented alumni will be engaged and empowered to help sustain and preserve the history and future of the historical Harlem landmark.

Together with Sound Business Inc. (SBI), APRCHS has become known as an “Inclusive Grassroots Cooperative” (IGC). SBI’s program at APRCHS creates a joint effort that supports the students. The school community, with the structure creat-

ed by this IGC, help define priorities for the school and its students. The partnership and presence of SBI, a non-profit organization, has improved college aspirations for APRCHS students.

The school, which has been at risk of closing over the years as many other NYC historically brown and black public schools have closed, continues to see more than 90% of its graduates attend college and steady daily attendance rate of 90% or better throughout the academic year. While there are a multitude of alumni success stories that can serve as positive and inspirational examples to current and future students that will walk the same hallways, record keeping and lack of alumni engagement has created a disconnect with the school.

On Wednesday, November 20, 2019, SBI is hosting APRCHS’ 40th Anniversary Awards Benefit Dinner to help renew “Campus Cougar” pride, boost Alumni Engagement and bring awareness to the much needed historic preservation of the school. Located on the City College of New York (CCNY) campus in Harlem, the school’s Collegiate Gothic style was designed between 1924-1926 by William H. Gompert, Architect & Superintendent of School Buildings for the New York City Board of Education. In 1997, the historic building was designated by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission.

A. Philip Randolph Campus High School (APRCHS) is a four-year public high school in New York City. It is

located in Harlem, adjacent to the City College of New York. It occupies a landmark building formerly occupied

by The High School of Music & Art. APRCHS occupies a building designed in the Collegiate Gothic style

by William H. Gompert, Architect & Superintendent of School Buildings for the New York City Board of Education.

Constructed from 1924 to 1926, the building opened for the New York Training School for Teachers, established in 1898 to provide elementary school teachers for the Board of Education. The Training School became the New York Teachers Training College in 1931, but a surplus of teachers during the Depression led to the dissolution of the school in 1933.

In the case of APRCHS, SBI focused on academic enrichment, comprehensive college access services, theatre production and performing arts, all aimed at preparing students socio-culturally and academically for post secondary educational and career opportunities. SBI has, over the years, designed customized programs and improved access to four-year institutions for Black and Latino students at APRCHS. A case study conducted by Dr. Stephanie Akunvabey, is the first formal investigation of SBI, providing an in-depth look at the relationship between an in-house non-profit organization and a NYC public high school.

The program’s ability to address socio-cultural and attitudinal needs of students has ultimately improved college access.
