Roland Ford, the ‘Line Dance King,’ dies at 75

by Rob Taylor Jr. Courier Staff Writer

Bill Ford just knew he was the real athlete in the family. He played basketball in his early days and would even tease his younger brother, Roland, referring him to more as the “nerdy guy.”

So, as a junior at Schenley High School, Bill Ford went out for the cross country team. Roland Ford, then a sophomore, also tried out for the team.

“The first day of practice, we were running a twoand-a-quarter mile race, and halfway through the race, he passes me,” Bill Ford told the New Pittsburgh Courier. “I was shocked because I was supposed to be the athlete...it happened the next day and the next day, and it finally dawned on me, he’s better than me.”

Roland M. Ford Sr., whom everyone calls the “Line Dance King,” who inspired thousands of people to be healthy and fit, died on Oct. 14 in the Pittsburgh area. He was 75. A “Celebration of Life” took place for Ford on Oct. 21 at Wesley Center AME Zion Church, in the Hill District.

Most people couldn’t keep up with Ford on the track or on the dance

floor. Before he got into line dancing, Ford was a constant runner of 5K races and marathons. But around 15 years ago, he saw just how much the community embraced the dances he would create.

“Investing in people and seeing the joy that it brings to them brought him joy,” said Ford’s youngest son, Rashad Ford, in an exclusive interview with the Courier.

Debra Gloster was there at the Kingsley Center in Larimer when he first started teaching line dancing to people there. “I think Roland’s heart was really into making sure others were being fit,” she said.

Maybe Ford never knew it, but people like Gloster called Ford an inspiration when he would be running through the neighborhood, or participating in marathons. “I was so proud to see an African American person that was running through the city, and fit,” Gloster said.

As the years went on, Ford actually retired from his day job as a caseworker to focus exclusively on his passion to help others through line dancing and overall fitness. It was to SEE FORD A8

American Association of Blacks in Energy’s Pittsburgh chapter is revived Deo Alexander named president; state Rep. Abney presents proclamation

by Rob Taylor Jr. Courier Staff Writer

When state Rep. Aerion Abney walked into Emerald City, a Black-owned multi-purpose space on Smithfield Street, Downtown, he was more than elated to be surrounded

by Black people whom he called “resilient,” “diligent” and “committed.”

He was more than elated to present this group of 40 African Americans a proclamation on behalf of the Pa. House Democratic Caucus, for bringing back the Pittsburgh chapter of the American Association of Blacks in Energy (AABE).

“I really want to thank and commend the folks

who are here tonight, who decided to come together and think about the importance of creating a space and opportunity for Black and brown people to have access to opportunities in the energy space,” Rep. Abney said during the Sept. 28 event. Representative Abney said it was important for the chapter to be rejuvenated “particularly in the City of Pittsburgh where a lot of times, access to opportunity for Black and brown folks aren’t always available across all different industries, even in politics.”

Ida B. Wells: More than just a face on a quarter in 2025—but how much do you really know about her?

by Ebony JJ Curry Michigan Chronicle

In 2025, when the glint of Ida B. Wells catches your eye from the reverse side of the United States quarter, will you pause and consider the legacy behind the image? Wells, born into the chains of slavery in Holly Springs, Mississippi, in 1862, emerged as a beacon of justice and truth in a time when both were often violently suppressed. As the eldest of nine, how did her upbringing by a carpenter father and teacher mother shape her indomitable spirit?

Ida B. Wells, hailed today as one of the most formidable leaders in American history, was an unyielding advocate for the power of information. “The people must know before they can act, and there is no educator to compare with the press,” she declared. But why was her voice, echoing the importance of an informed public, so critical during her era?

Venturing into the dark corners of the South, Wells laid bare the horrors of lynching, a chilling racial

terrorism rampant at the time. But how did she muster the courage, given the perilous landscape of her era, to declare, “The way to right wrongs is to turn the light of truth upon them?”

By challenging the falsehoods that justified lynchings and exposing the profound societal and economic scars they inflicted upon Black communities, Wells began to shift public opinion. Could her intrepid journalism and advocacy be one of the pivotal sparks that later ignited the civil rights movement?

Now, while the design of her quarter remains cloaked in anticipation, we’re left to ponder: How will it encapsulate her monumental legacy?

In 1896, Wells tied the knot with Ferdinand L. Barnett, an equally driven lawyer and activist. Together, they raised four children.

How did their union influence the broader fight for justice and equality? As a founding force behind the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in 1909, how did Wells leverage this platform?

Skeptics might ask, “Why immortalize her on a mere coin?” Yet, didn’t that very same quarter once grant access to Wells’s groundbreaking exposes, such as Southern Horrors: Lynch Law in All Its Phases and A Red Record? How profound must have been the impact of these works, each costing just a quarter, in awakening the collective conscience?

Harriet Tubman’s anticipated visage on the $20 bill and Wells on the quarter are not just monetary tributes. Instead, they beckon us to question: How can we truly quantify the indelible marks these Black women have left on society?

On March 25, 1931, the world bid farewell to Wells.

As she rested in Chicago’s Oak Woods Cemetery, one must wonder: How did the generations that followed her view her enduring legacy, and how will future ones remember her?

This quarter in 2025 is more than currency—it’s an invitation to introspect, to question, and to recognize the giants upon whose shoulders we stand.in a common cause.

Kylian Mbappe overtakes Obama as most influential Black man: Survey (Zenger News)—A recent survey conducted by a Black lifestyle brand known as That Sister has revealed that the 24 year old French Footballer Kylian Mbappe is the most influential Black man scoring higher than Obama.

The French national was rated at 93.18 percent in social media influence in a list dominated by other American personalities with over 98.9 million followers on Instagram and over 11.7 million Twitter followers according to the survey.

“Mbappe was found to have the highest Instagram engagement rate out of any celebrity on the list at 12.09

percent, and the second highest Twitter engagement rate, at 2.43 percent,” said the survey.

“Barack Obama, former US President Barack Obama was ranked ninth with over 133.3 million Twitter followers, over 36.1 million followers on Insta-

gram, and a social media influence score of 71.96 percent,” said the survey.

Zendaya, the 26-year-old American actress singer came in second whereas Khaby Lame, the Senegalese born TikToker featured third in the survey. Lame is also the most followed TikTok content creator in the world.

Mbappe, known for his sensational football skills became a superstar during the Fifa World Cup held in Qatar in 2022.

The researchers used data to create a combined social media influence score for more than 20 of the most popular Black celebrities in the world.

THE IMPORTANCE OF ALZHEIMER'S EDUCATION Event held on eve of AME Ministers Conference St. James AME Church in East Liberty played host in mid-October to an Alzheimer’s Health Forum, aimed at raising awareness about Alzheimer’s disease within the African American community, the New Pittsburgh Courier has learned. This significant event, held on the eve of the AME Ministers Conference, was a collaborative effort between Community and Family Builders, the AME 3rd District Office, and the Alzheimer’s Association Greater Pennsylvania Chapter.

The event featured an educational workshop led

by Diane Powell, Director of Community and Family Builders, focusing on the “10 Warning Signs of Alzheimer’s.” Attendees had the opportunity to learn valuable information about recognizing

early signs of the disease, understanding its impact, and seeking appropriate support and resources.

Clay Jacobs, Executive Director of the Alzheimer’s Association Greater Pennsylvania Chapter, delivered insightful remarks that shed light on the importance of Alzheimer’s awareness and the resources available to affected individuals and their families. His presentation underscored the significance of addressing Alzheimer’s within the African American community.

Presiding Elder, Bishop McCloud of the 3rd AME District, also offered his thoughts on the event, emphasizing the role of faith-based organizations in raising awareness and providing support to those affected by Alzheimer’s.

The event, which drew a

American Association of Blacks in Energy’s Pittsburgh chapter is revived Deo Alexander named president; state Rep. Abney presents proclamation BLACKS ENERGY FROM A1

worked together to bring the AABE chapter back to Pittsburgh. The event was labeled, “Reclamation and Networking.” According to an article posted on the Duquesne Light website, AABE Pittsburgh had a strong foothold in Pittsburgh in the ‘80s and ‘90s. Included were Black employees and entrepreneurs from various energy-related companies or suppliers. However, membership dwindled in the early 2000s, ultimately resulting in the disbandment of the chapter. Several attempts since then failed to gain sustained traction, with the most recent efforts coming in

2017.

AABE officially became a non-profit organization on Dec. 1, 1977, in Colorado. The organization was the brainchild of Clarke A. Watson, who owned an energy-consulting firm in Denver, called Watson Associates. According to the AABE website, Watson called for a meeting of a core group of Blacks concerned about energy matters on July 25 and 26, 1977, at the Watergate Hotel in Washington, D.C. Among those present at that meeting with Watson was Linda Taliaferro, of Westinghouse Electric in Pittsburgh. Eventually, Watson was named chair of the new organization, while Taliaferro,

who served as a member of the Advanced Reactors Division at Westinghouse Electric, served as a board member.

Currently, there are 37 regional chapters of AABE across the U.S., which now includes Pittsburgh.

Kevin Walker, current president and CEO of Duquesne Light Holdings, which includes Duquesne Light Company, revealed during his remarks that early in his career in the energy/utility industry, he saw virtually no one who was Black like him in his company. He said he was this close to leaving the industry altogether.

But then he was invited to an AABE national conference, “and I

STATE REP. AERION ABNEY SPEAKING... (PHOTOS BY J.L. MARTELLO) met hundreds, not tens, but hundreds of African Americans in every role in the utility industry. Black CFOs, CEOs, Black line workers, HR folks...I came back empowered by that,” Walker said.

“That was a pivotal moment,” Walker added. “I wouldn’t be standing here if it weren’t for that inspiration of the AABE conference.”

Walker then praised Victor Roque, the first Black president of Duquesne Light Company (a subsidiary of Duquesne Light Holdings) for paving the way for other African Americans to serve in C-Suite level roles after him. Walker said he gets

the “luxury” to thank and appreciate one of the “giants” in the utility industry face-to-face, and continues to get counsel and inspiration from Roque.

Roque was in attendance at the Sept. 28 event.

The event also featured a keynote address from La’Meshia Whittington, CEO of an energy consulting firm and professor at North Carolina State University. Whittington’s talk highlighted the need to celebrate Black excellence in energy, from innovators like Lewis Latimer and George Washington Carver, to contemporary leaders like Roque and Walker, all while keeping in mind the importance of

accessibility and equity in the energy space for Black and low-income individuals and communities, according to an article on the Duquesne Light website.

The AABE Pittsburgh chapter president is Deo Alexander, supervisor of Distribution Engineering at Duquesne Light.

Other organizations that were involved in the Sept.

28 event included EQT, Burns & McDonnell, Range Resources, Allegheny Conference on Community Development, Dominion Energy and CRBE Group Inc.

Roland Ford, the ‘Line Dance King,’ dies at 75 FORD FROM A1

the point where he was everywhere — showing Pittsburgh’s first Black Mayor, Ed Gainey, the art of line dancing, to winning awards for line dancing at conventions in Las Vegas or Baltimore. Roland Ford might be leading a dance in the heart of Homewood one afternoon, and then leading an entirely different dance in the Hill District later that evening.

For more than a decade, there was Roland Ford, leading the line dancing on the main stage at Pittsburgh’s New Year’s Eve festivities Downtown.

Or what about Highland

Park, and all the sessions he led there? Let’s not forget about Schenley Park, too.

“The whole city is mourning,” voiced Darlene Stewart, who worked with Ford building his programs.

She has a background in health and physical education. “He was more than a line dance teacher; it was a ministry for him.

He wanted to motivate people and inspire people to live a healthy lifestyle.

He gave his all, I believe, to the very end.”

Stewart mentioned that Ford had been bestowed three or four awards locally in the past year or so.

“He was able to smell his flowers, and for that, I’m grateful,” she said. “...The impact will be everlasting.

There’s not anyone in the city who doesn’t know him or hasn’t been touched by him.”

At his viewing and celebration of life service, people came from seemingly everywhere to pay their condolences. Mayor Gainey spoke on the impact of Ford. There was Tony Fountain, who knew Ford since the seventh grade, when they both ended up at Herron Hill Junior High School. Ford came to the school from Madison Elementary.

“We started getting together on weekends, and we would go to the Carnegie Museum and just explore. We would go to the Carnegie Library and just understand all that was there,” Fountain told

the Courier. He also said the two would “push each other to go beyond their comfort zone.”

As the two later attended Schenley, they decided to run for some leadership positions. Ford ran for

the student government (council) president, while Fountain ran for senior class president. Not surprisingly, Ford won his bid SEE FORD A9

FORD FROM A8

to become president.

Quiet as its kept, Ford was more of a shy person growing up. But Ford’s love for running, according to his son, Rashad, helped him become more of a vocal leader, as he led the cross country team at Schenley.

Roland Ford would teach the importance of leadership and breaking out of one’s shyness to Rashad Ford, and it helped Rashad become the student council president at his high school for three years.

“He (Roland) showed me not to be afraid to step up and volunteer and be a leader,” Rashad Ford told the Courier.

Rashad Ford also recalled his father having “tough love for us,” and taught his children to focus on the positive in people, and being responsible and accountable.

Roland Ford, the 1966 Schenley High graduate, was married to Gail A. Sparrow for more than 50 years. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, uncle, brother, cousin, teacher, coach, mentor and friend, said Ford’s cousin, Joyce Kareem.

Bill Ford, Roland Ford’s older brother, said that Roland Ford attended Columbia University (New York City) and pledged Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc. In recent years, Bill Ford said he would ask his brother why he had such an active schedule in his 70s. Roland Ford responded: “Billy, that’s what I do.”

PROPERTY IS POWER! The Three Cs of Credit: Unlocking the mortgage approval code Securing a mortgage is often the pivotal step towards fulfilling the dream of homeownership. Whether you are a first-time homebuyer or looking to refinance your existing home, the path to mortgage approval revolves around the three Cs of credit: Capacity, Character, and Collateral. These three characteristics serve as a blueprint for lenders to assess the riskiness of lending to a potential borrower, ultimately determining whether to approve or deny a loan request.

Capacity: The Financial Backbone Capacity, the first of the three Cs, delves into your financial capability to take on and manage debt. Lenders evaluate your capacity by examining your income, expenses, and existing debts. Here are some key factors that influence your capacity assessment: 1. Income Stability: Lenders want to ensure that you have a stable and

reliable source of income to meet your mortgage obligations. A consistent employment history and a regular income stream are seen as positive indicators.

2. Debt-to-Income Ratio: The debt-to-income ratio (DTI) is a critical metric that compares your monthly debt payments to your monthly income. Lenders typically prefer a DTI below 43 percent, as it indicates your ability to comfortably manage new debt, but ultimately, the lower that number is, the better your chances are.

3. Employment History: A steady employment history demonstrates your capacity to maintain a stable income. Frequent job changes or gaps in employment may raise concerns for lenders.

Character: Trustworthiness and Responsibility Character assesses your trustworthiness and responsibility when it comes to managing credit and debt. While it’s challenging to quantify character, lenders rely on several factors to make this assessment: 1. Credit Score: Your credit score, based on your credit report, serves SEE MORTGAGE B2

Closing the wealth gap in Black America through investments in innovation

by Phillip Washington Dallas Weekly Magazine

(NNPA BLACKPRESS)—In today’s discussion, we delve into the pressing issue of closing the wealth gap in Black America. Wealth in business and investing exists at the intersection of faith in the future and individual passions. It is important to distinguish between the collective and individual mindsets when addressing topics such as race, sex, or other classification.

While the collective mindset shapes the beliefs and mindset of a particular group, the individual mindset empowers each person to claim their power and intelligence. In this article, we are discussing the collective mindset.

Belief Systems and the Evolution of Wealth Each generation brings forth new ideas that shape the economy and solve the problems of the previous generation. This perpetual cycle of question and answer drives progress and innovation. For example, as we strive for faster and more efficient communication, we witness the evolution from telephones to email, text messages, instant messaging, and social media platforms.

With each new idea comes a new form of wealth.

The wealthiest individuals in society are often entrepreneurs who bring innovative business ideas to life, along with the investors who provide the necessary capital. The combination of entrepreneurship and investment is a powerful force in wealth creation. However, it is important to recognize the coexistence of the old and new economies.

The old economy relies on manipulation and debt to reshuffle wealth, while the new economy creates wealth that previously did not exist.

The old economy’s reliance on debt and manipulation perpetuates a scarcity mindset. When too many individuals engage in this game, it becomes a competition for a limited

Industries such as bitcoin, space, AI, Airbnb hosting, podcasting, gaming, and influencer marketing offer boundless opportunities for wealth creation. pie, leading to conflicts and wars.

On the other hand, the new economy operates in a realm of abundance. Industries such as bitcoin, space, AI, Airbnb hosting, podcasting, gaming, and influencer marketing offer boundless opportunities for wealth creation.

In these new economies, barriers to entry are minimal, and individuals are primarily focused on seizing opportunities rather than being hindered by concerns of race or sex. The internet has democratized access to information, and more people than ever are participating in these new economies. However, today’s biggest resistance to wealth creation lies within the individual and collective mindset. Overcoming the fear of the unknown and embracing the uncharted territory of new ideas is essential for progress.

The Power of the Individual in Closing the Wealth Gap As we navigate the uncharted territory of the new economy, we must recognize that there is no proven path or playbook. We are writing the rules as we go along. This may

seem daunting, but it is also an area where many individuals, especially Black people, excel. The gap in Black America’s wealth will only be closed when more individuals run to the edges and actively participate in these new economies.

It is encouraging to witness the increasing number of Black individuals engaging in new media, finance, AI, and other emerging industries.

The momentum is in our favor, and we live in a time when the collective world mind becomes more open to diverse perspectives. The dominance of the old Eurocentric perspective is gradually fading, making it the greatest time ever to be Black.

Implications and Potential Impact The implications of embracing the new economy and closing the wealth gap are far-reaching. By actively participating in the edges of innovation, Black individuals can become cooperative components of the global movement forward. This movement brings not only wealth but also happiness, peace, and joy.

It is an opportunity to shape the future and contribute to a more inclusive and prosperous society.

Closing the wealth gap also has broader societal implications. When individuals from all backgrounds have equal access to wealth creation opportunities, it fosters a more equitable society. It dismantles the barriers historically hindering marginalized communities from achieving economic success. By embracing the new economy, Black America can rewrite the narrative and redefine what is possible.

While external resistance has historically impeded progress, the internet has provided access to information and opportunities like never before. The resistance we face SEE WEALTH GAP B2

Are there ‘Big Coins’ to be made in Bitcoins?

There was a time where I would get asked questions about Bitcoins on a daily basis. Clearly, those in the cryptocurrency space have done a great job spreading the word about cryptocurrency. I once heard a report over a podcast stating that more people have heard about cryptocurrency than have heard about Exchange Traded Funds (EFTs), mutual funds, and index funds. I find that report interesting when you consider the fact that Bitcoin has only been around since 2009. That’s right, as of the day of this writing, Bitcoin is only 14 years old. Bitcoin is still a cub in the world of investing. When describing Bitcoin, I use the word “investment” loosely. Many in the financial service industry would consider putting money in Bitcoins speculation more so than investing.

Notice, I used the words cub and speculation when talking about Bitcoin. That may explain why there have been more bear market cycles (prices falling) than there have been bull market cycles (prices rising) associated with cryptocurrency.

In recent years, cryptocurrencies have taken the world by storm. The meteoric rise of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and a plethora of other digital currencies generally referred to as altcoins have captured the imagination of both individual and institutional investors. As the world becomes increasingly digital, cryptocurrencies have emerged as a new frontier for investment. But the question on everyone’s mind is, should you

invest in cryptocurrencies? That’s a diplomatic way of saying what’s on everyone’s mind. The more direct question that’s on everyone’s mind, “Are there big coins to be made in Bitcoins?” This article delves into the world of cryptocurrencies, exploring their rise and the considerations for potential investors.

Cryptocurrencies are digital or virtual currencies that use cryptography for secure financial transactions and control the creation of additional units.

Unlike conventional currencies issued by central banks, cryptocurrencies operate on decentralized networks called blockchains. Cryptocurrencies offer decentralized systems that are not controlled by any central authority, making them resistant to censorship and manipulation.

This decentralized nature, coupled with robust cryptographic protocols, provides enhanced security and privacy for users including increased security, transparency, and the elimination of intermediaries.

The underlying technology of cryptocurrencies, blockchain, has the potential to revolutionize various industries, including finance, supply chain management, healthcare, and more. The transparency, immutability, and efficiency of blockchain

systems make them attractive for businesses seeking to streamline operations and reduce costs. The growing interest from institutional investors, corporations, and even governments has significantly contributed to the rise of cryptocurrencies.

Major financial institutions have started offering cryptocurrency services, and some countries have even embraced digital currencies as legal tender, further fueling adoption.

Bitcoin was created in 2009 by an anonymous person or group known as Satoshi Nakamoto.

This marked the beginning of the cryptocurrency era. Since then, thousands of cryptocurrencies have emerged, each with its own unique features and purposes.

The rise of cryptocurrencies can be attributed to several factors, including growing distrust in traditional financial systems, advancements in technology, increasing mainstream adoption, and the potential for substantial returns on investment. Over the past decade, the value of Bitcoin has skyrocketed, creating millionaires overnight for many of its early adopters. In November 2021, Bitcoin’s value peaked at $67,589 per Bitcoin. In November 2022 after reaching its peak, Bitcoin’s dropped below $18,000 per Bitcoin.

As of the day of this writing, Bitcoin’s value is $30,635.50 per Bitcoin. As you can see from this brief synopsis of its value fluctuation, partaking in Bitcoin is a wild ride.

While the rise of cryptocurrencies has been remarkable, it is not without risks and challenges. The volatility of prices in the cryptocurrency market is a significant concern. Prices can fluctuate dramatically, leading to both tremendous gains and substantial losses. This volatility is driven by factors such as regulatory changes, market sentiment, and speculation. Investors must carefully evaluate their risk tolerance and financial goals before investing in cryptocurrencies.

Another challenge is the presence of scams and fraudulent activities in the cryptocurrency space. As with any investment, due diligence is crucial. It is important to research and verify the credibility and security of the cryptocurrency and the platforms used for trading before investing your hard-earned money.

Recently there’s been several companies coming under scrutiny within the cryptocurrency industry. Many of which have been highly publicized. The most publicized of them have been FTX and its founder and CEO, Sam Bankman-Fried. What an interesting last name considering the decentralized banking operation that he managed has been accused of frying hopeSEE DAMON CARR B2

Federal agencies issue $23 mil fine against TransUnion Two federal agencies recently reached a $23 million settlement with TransUnion, one of the nation’s three major credit reporting agencies, and a subsidiary, TURRS. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) announced the settlement on October 12.

The regulators said the firm’s use of inaccurate, outdated, and incomplete eviction records to screen prospective tenants harmed consumers looking for rental housing and violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).

The settlement, when approved by a federal court, will require the firm to repay $11 million to affected consumers, an additional $4 million civil penalty, and $8 million to CFPB for lying to consumers. TURRSS failed to provide consumers with the names of third-party vendors from whom it received criminal and

eviction records included in its tenant screening reports. Further, no effort was made to ensure the accuracy of tenant screening reports. As a result, reports included inaccurate and incomplete eviction records that hampered consumers’ ability to obtain housing.

“Americans across the country were put at risk of wrongful housing denials because TransUnion failed to follow the law,” said CFPB Director Rohit Chopra. “We are ordering TransUnion to cease its years-long illegal activity, clean up its broken business practices, redress its victims, and pay penalties.”

Samuel Levine, Director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection reacted similarly.

“Consumers struggling to find housing shouldn’t be shut out by tenant screening reports that are ridden with errors and based on data from secret sources,” noted Levine.

Charlene Crowell

Commentary “Protecting consumers looking for housing is critical to a fair economy, and we are proud to partner with the CFPB in obtaining this record-breaking order.”

According to the complaint, TransUnion and TURRS never took legally-required steps to ensure the accuracy of the data it received until April 2021 when the corporation learned of the related FTC investigation. The firms’ failure to follow reasonable procedures resulted in the use of error-laden consumer credit reports that wrongly showed multiple eviction records when only one may have occurred. As a result, many borrowers were denied rental housing, sub-

jected to additional and undeserved fees, and had to spend hours or days trying to correct errors in their credit reports.

“An unfair denial of rental housing has effects beyond just the loss of rental application fees—it means losing out on the opportunity to live in a person’s preferred neighborhood, the neighborhood that makes sense for them in terms of schools, work, and more; and it may mean having to pay even more for housing down the line,” added Eric Halperin, CFPB’s Enforcement Director.

FCRA, a key consumer protection law passed more than 50 years ago, requires firms that collect consumer credit data, as

well as those that use it in making credit-related decisions, to ensure accuracy of the information.

Further, companies are required to investigate disputes and advise consumers when an adverse action is taken on the basis of credit reporting.

TransUnion, which has gathered an estimated 190 million consumer credit profiles has a long history of anti-consumer behaviors.

For example, in 1992, FTC Commissioners issued a cease-and-desist order against the corporation after it was found to have sold information, without consumers’ consent, to a third party who used that information to solicit consumers to purchase goods and services.

A legal finding delivered in the case in 1998 agreed with the FTC, saying in part: “Trans Union invades consumers’ privacy when it sells consumers’ credit histories to third- party market-

ers without consumers’ knowledge or consent. ... “ In 2017 the CFPB took action against TransUnion and Equifax, another major credit reporting bureau, for deceiving customers and luring them into costly recurring payments by pushing credit-related products that offered false promises. In 2022, CFPB sued TransUnion, claiming the company did not meet the conditions of the earlier law enforcement order. That lawsuit has not been resolved.

CFPB encourages consumers to utilize dedicated whistleblower hotline and email to report suspected wrongdoing. The email address is: whistleblower@ cfpb.gov . As an alternative, consumers may also phone the toll-free Whistleblower Tip Line at (855) 695-7974.

as a numerical representation of your credit history. A higher credit score signifies responsible credit usage and timely payments.

2. Payment History: Lenders scrutinize your payment history to identify any past delinquencies, late payments, or defaults on loans and credit cards. Consistent, on-time payments reflect positively on your character.

3. Credit History: A longer and well-managed credit history can demonstrate your ability to handle financial responsibilities effectively.

Lenders often prefer borrowers with an established credit history.

Collateral: The Safety Net Collateral represents the assets or property used to secure the loan. In the context of a mortgage, the property you intend to purchase serves as collateral.

Lenders use collateral as a safeguard in case the borrower defaults on the loan.

Key considerations for collateral assessment include: 1. Appraisal: Lenders require a professional appraisal of the property to determine its current market value. The appraisal helps ensure that the property’s value aligns with the loan amount.

2. Loan-to-Value Ratio (LTV): The LTV ratio compares the loan amount to the property’s appraised value. A lower LTV ratio indicates less risk for the lender, as it means the borrower is investing a significant amount of their own funds into the property.

3. Property Condition: The property’s condition is essential.

Lenders want to ensure that the collateral remains valuable and can be sold to recover the loan amount if necessary.

The Decision-Making Process After evaluating capacity, character, and collateral, lenders determine the level of risk associated with lending to an individual. This risk assessment informs their decision to approve or deny a mortgage application: Approval: If the borrower’s capacity is sufficient, their character reflects responsible financial behavior, and the collateral meets the lender’s criteria, the application is likely to be approved. Borrowers with lower risk profiles often receive more favorable loan terms, such as lower interest rates.

Denial: Conversely, if a borrower’s capacity is questionable, their character raises concerns about creditworthiness, or the collateral falls short of requirements, the lender may deny the loan application. In

some cases, borrowers may be asked to address specific issues before reapplying.

Summary The three Cs of credit Capacity, Character, and Collateral act as the foundation for mortgage approval decisions.

By thoroughly assessing these characteristics, lenders gauge the riskiness of lending to an individual and make informed choices about whether to approve or deny a loan request. Aspiring homeowners can improve their chances of mortgage approval by maintaining financial stability, demonstrating responsible credit behavior, and ensuring the collateral meets lender expectations. Understanding and aligning with the three C’s of credit can help potential borrowers unlock the doors to homeownership and secure their place in living the American Dream.

ful investors out of billions of dollars that he used for personal exploits.

The prospect of government regulations, which I think is a good thing, is another factor that potential investors must consider. While cryptocurrencies have gained acceptance in many countries, governments around the world are starting to take notice and implement regulations to ensure investor protection and prevent illicit activities such as money laundering and terrorist financing. These regulations could potentially affect the way cryptocurrencies operate and impact their value.

If you are considering investing in cryptocurrencies, it is crucial to do your due diligence. Educate yourself about the different cryptocurrencies, their underlying technology, and their potential applications.

Stay updated with the latest market trends and news to make informed investment decisions. Additionally, consider diversifying your investment portfolio and only invest what you can afford to lose. I recommend

that you limit your total overall investment exposure in cryptocurrency to 1 percent to 5 percent. Meaning, if you have a total of investable assets of $10,000, you cap your cryptocurrency investments to $100 to $500. Ensure that you store your cryptocurrencies securely in a reputable wallet and take precautions against hacking and fraud. By all means, remember the password to your cryptocurrency wallet. There are billions of dollars of cryptocurrency that can’t be accessed because the owner forgot their password to their cryptocurrency wallet.

Are there big coins to be made in Bitcoins?

Potentially! But the risk of losing all of your hard-earned dollars chasing big coins in Bitcoins is BIGGER! Should you invest in cryptocurrencies, I urge you to enter this endeavor with knowledge, a solid financial foundation, a stomach for market fluctuations, and with money to burn.

OPINION

NEW PITTSBURGH COURIER

Guest Editorial Will and Jada’s problems Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith are in the news again, thanks to Jada’s new book, entitled “Worthy.” Basically, Jada is finally getting her chance to share her side of the story since she has been mute, while people have called her everything that is evil and unworthy related to her marriage. Jada has dropped a bombshell: she and Will have been separated for seven years!

Because of this revelation, people are calling them (especially Jada) liars, because they didn’t reveal they had “separated” before now. This is unfortunate and shows that people don’t pay attention; they hear a few buzzwords and then jump to conclusions.

Will Smith is a case in point. Years ago, Will shared that he didn’t call what he and Jada had a “marriage” and said they were “Life Partners.”

He also said that nothing could break them up.

At points he discussed the idea of an open relationship, a concept they allegedly embraced.

With this revelation, what was said previously, but ignored, is the fact that the couple was separated during the time Jada mentioned her “entanglement” with August Alsina on an episode of her now defunct “Red Table Talk.” People are upset with Jada about this situation and feel she is the reason the marriage is in jeopardy.

What is being ignored is that Will has allegedly also had his “entanglements.”

The difficulties in their marriage seem to be partially fueled by how to deal with their union as an “open relationship” and how to relate to the public regarding it. They were trying to successfully navigate monogamy while being honest with each other.

This is a very real concern that many couples today face. Will and Jada were apparently trying to get ahead of the game and offset the need for deception. They were seeking to address that issue while remaining true to each other.

This strategy is admirable, but the public has been hell-bent on trying to get them to separate. All of the hatred they have been receiving…from Jada’s “entanglement” and Will’s “slap that was heard around the world”… might be the straw that breaks the camel’s back! A seeming majority of people blame Jada for all of the shenanigans going on in the marriage.

The lies circulating that she orchestrated the “slap” are being debunked, however. Jada said she thought it was a skit, and she was surprised that Will called her “my wife.”

Other lies say Jada was in love with Tupac Shakur, the brilliant rapper who lost his life to gun violence years ago. The truth is that Jada has made it clear on more than one occasion that her relationship and love for Tupac was platonic…she actually said they had no romantic chemistry!

The Smiths have been hated for various and sundry reasons for a long time…toward Jada for creating “Red Table Talk,” which had therapeutic value for thousands of people, and for the way they raised their children, who have turned out to be successful and caring adults.

But that doesn’t matter…apparently Will and Jada are people that Black people just love to hate, and a lot of it seems to stem from the way they relate to each other. Artistically, they have been great role models, creating films and music that is wholesome. It’s amazing that people love thugs who have caused a lot of chaos in the Black community through obscene music and more but hate a family that has been trying to do the right thing for years!

Yep, Will and Jada are on the hot seat because they are trying to create a relationship that could withstand the gluttonous fangs of extramarital temptation (and more), and they seem to be losing the battle. This is something a lot of marriages face, and you’d think that instead of people hating Will and Jada, they should be applauding them for attempting to solve the relationship dilemma. With most marriages ending in divorce today, married people need prayers of support, and not hatred. A Luta Continua.

A true hero (TriceEdneyWire.com)—It’s football season again! Let’s talk about the best of sports. It’s Historically Black Colleges & Universities Sports! Being a graduate of Grambling University, I’m obviously a football fan! I attended Howard University Law School, but that’s another story when it comes to sports! At Grambling, we’ve had so many great athletes on great teams whether baseball, basketball, football, etc.! I could never talk about the successes of Grambling without remembering the one and only Coach Eddie Robinson who was a dear friend for many years.

Because we’ve had so many greats, we at Grambling have no problem honoring those who played well on other teams.

There’s something about Historically Black Colleges and Universities that allows us to cheer for other athletes from our competitors. This week I’ve had the honor of spending time with two former football players from Florida A&M University—Rick Anderson, Florida A&M Sports Hall of Famer, and Henry Lawrence, former Raiders offensive tackle. We kid each other about our great college victories over them, and they occasionally have a time they can do the same with those of us from Grambling.

We never have differences about Grambling’s legendary head football coach, Eddie Robinson.

No matter where men play, even players of other races who neither

Commentary attended Grambling nor Florida A&M loved and admired Coach Robinson.

I had the wonderful opportunity to visit with one of Henry’s former teammates with the silver and black Raiders. The teammate we visited is The Honorable Burgess Owens of Utah, and despite his being a member of another party, he’s still one of us, and I was happy to meet him. Ordinarily, we Democrats know who new Congressmen and Congresswomen are as soon as one of us comes to Washington because we almost always know the struggles they’ve had before winning a Congressional race. Congressman Owens is a hidden jewel.

Representing Utah may have been a bit misleading, but I want you to know him. He allowed me to wear his championship ring in a photo op at his office!

Having run for Congress myself and coming up short by less than 1/2 percent, I can identify with those who’ve been the best candidate by far, not only for the community in which we grew up, but for everybody, yet didn’t have enough support from those who rule even if

we were in the same political party.

That, too, was the case for Henry Lawrence from Palmetto, Florida after his football days were over.

We know; however, we still have a responsibility to continue succeeding in whatever we do. In Henry’s case, after his days in professional football were over, he returned home to Florida and is a hero to those who know him. He’s not called a hero just because he played football, but because he’s a servant for the good of all people.

Although as a player, Henry was known by his teammates as “Killer”, he’s one of the nicest guys you could ever know who played for the Silver and Black! I would add “one of the nicest guys you could know anywhere.” Even John Madden said Henry was like a son to him!

Henry and John appeared to have had mutual admiration. About Madden, Henry said, “He was a guy that could relate to the little guy and the big guy.” Henry had the honor of doing a musical tribute to his coach at his service.

Henry is a very talented musician and a loyal member of the Florida A&M Family. Among his many honors, he’s received the Jesse Owens Achievement Award for his athletic excellence, but I find him to be so much more than an athlete. He’s a wonderful human being!

The equivalent sanctity of life (TriceEdneyWire)—I must join others in condemning the bombing in Tel Aviv that killed more than 1,200 people. Those killed were mothers and fathers, children and grandparents.

They were soldiers and civilians, people simply attending a concert. They had no idea they had breathed their last breath when they died. They were going about their business, possibly blissfully clueless about the next moment. Their deaths, horrible deaths, must be mourned.

There are also as many as 200 hostages, some American citizens. Brutally, some of the hostages have been paraded about. Some families have no idea whether their loved ones are dead or alive. Barbarism is associated with taking hostages, mainly innocent civilians, and it must be condemned, with the hostages released soon. But Netanyahu’s assertion that he will not bargain with Hamas, the group that took the hostages, does nothing to facilitate hostage release.

Israel is justifiably enraged and has vowed to retaliate. And the retaliation has begun with bombing attacks on Gaza. These ruthless attacks have hit mothers and fathers, children and grandparents, soldiers and civilians, and people living their lives. They had scant warning of their coming slaughter. They were going about their business, possibly blissfully clueless about the next moment. Thousands in Gaza are dead, and their horrible deaths must be mourned. Tens of thousands of others are affected by Israel’s blockade of Gaza, which has restricted the availability of food, water, and medical supplies.

The Bible says something about an

Julianne Malveaux

Commentary eye for an eye, but an eye for an eye leaves everyone blind. I fear that we in the United States have been blinded long ago. There is no excuse for the carnage Hamas imposed on Israel. Period. There is also no excuse for starving people to death or removing tens of thousands from their homes, forcing them to leave everything behind. When President Biden says, “We stand behind Israel,” already sending military equipment and asserting a strong presence, what is he speaking to the Palestinian people?

The United Nations Office for Humanitarian Affairs (https://www. ochaopt.org) has documented the loss of human life in Gaza and the West Bank between the last (2008) and now, not including the current conflict. There have been 6407 Palestinian fatalities and 306 Israeli fatalities. Where have world voices, now united against Hamas brutality, been in the face of Palestinian fatalities exponentially greater than any Israeli fatalities? Without excusing Hamas (because their cruelty is inexcusable), cannot one understand Palestinian frustration and, perhaps, brutal action? Hamas didn’t do the Palestinian people any favors. Israel’s retaliation has left as many as a million displaced. But I think of the Harlem Renaissance poet Claude McKay,

whose 1919 poem, “If We Must Die,” spoke of armed resistance against racism. The poem begins, “If we must die, let it not be like hogs, hunted and penned in an inglorious spot.” McKay continues, “If we must die, O let us nobly die,” and concludes, “Though far outnumbered, let us show us brave, and for their thousand blows deal one death blow, what though before us lies the open grave like men we’ll face the murderous, cowardly pack, pressed to the wall, dying but fighting back.” It’s a powerful poem, written in response to the carnage of the Red Summer of 1919, where random packs of Whites attacked Black people for next to nothing, slights real or imagined, protests to our very presence, even as Black men had returned from World War I. Many will find the comparisons between Palestinian insurgents and Black freedom fighters to be false or untimely. I understand. I especially realize that McKay was not writing about killing women and children or putting them in danger. I cringe at the notion that human lives, especially children’s, are considered “collateral damage.” Yet, who bombs hospitals and educational institutions for “revenge.”

Israeli lives must be valued, and so must Palestinian lives. Human life is equivalent, but the media does not reflect it. There were protestors outside the White House saying they stood with Palestine. Can’t we all stand with life? Until we embrace the equivalency of life, this conflict will continue, and an eye for an eye leaves all of us blind.

Dr. Henry Louis Gates’ Black History podcast wins 2023 Webby Award (BlackPressUSA)—Even though some elected officials attempt to rewrite history and remove from school curriculums painful chapters ranging from slavery to George Floyd, there has been a renewed interest in the stories and figures that shaped the Black community and, in turn, the nation.

One of the few retrospectives that has so thoughtfully, yet succinctly, explored the history, culture, and contributions of Black America is “Black History in Two Minutes (or so),” a digital video podcast series written and narrated by noted historian Dr. Henry Louis Gates Jr. Recently, the series took home another Webby Award, bringing the series’ total to six Webby Awards, while underscoring its impact with the public.

The series, which explores significant historical events and people who have shaped Black culture and history, has already won two Webby Awards for Best Podcast: Documentary (2020, 2021), along with three for Best Video Series: Education & Discovery (2020, 2021, 2022).

“Open discussion and debate will enable us to find solutions to the racial inequality that persists in the nation today,” said Gates, the Director of the Hutchins Center for African and African American Research at Harvard University. “Part of that discussion requires a fuller understanding of Black history, and this series opens the door

A. Peter Bailey

Commentary for Americans of all ages—regardless of color—to witness the contributions of Black Americans to the nation’s story.”

Gates added, “I’m honored to see that ‘Black History in Two Minutes (or so)’ was honored with a Webby Award. It’s a testament to the hard and important work everyone who helped make it possible is doing.”

The podcast was initiated in 2019 by Executive Producer and philanthropist Robert F. Smith, who decided to launch the series to educate Americans about Black history during a time when the Black community continued to face numerous threats.

“The series is a way to make Black history more accessible and digestible, not just for Black Americans, but for all Americans,” said Smith. “Because to truly address racial injustice today and move forward as a nation, we must first look to our past and understand the sacrifices made by Black Americans and their roles in shaping both Black culture and U.S. culture.”

The podcast comes amid the backdrop against the police killings of George Floyd, Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner, Michael Brown, and other young Black men, and just months after the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down a critical tool for diversity in our colleges and universities and the fight to keep Black history a part of school curriculums.

“This podcast is now more important than ever before,” Smith said.

“We are literally watching as some of our country’s elected officials try to erase or forget parts of our history. If schools cannot teach real history, then it must be up to us to educate the next generation so we can end this cycle of discrimination and hate.”

Along with the podcast, the series also features teaching guides, giving educators a convenient way to incorporate information from the episodes.

Among the topics and figures discussed on the digital podcast are jazz great Billie Holiday, school integration, the Civil War, Jackie Robinson, the birth of the Hip-Hop movement and the 2008 election that saw Barack Obama become the U.S.’s first Black president.

The high price of police misconduct (TriceEdneyWire.com)—Each year during the month of October, the National Faith and Blue Weekend is held in communities throughout the nation. The purpose of this community engagement initiative is to use local faith-based organizations as a means to develop relationships between police department officials, residents, businesses and community groups. The various Faith and Blue events gives members of the community, particularly those who may be skeptical of law enforcement, the opportunity to see police officials in an entirely different and non-threatening light. The bond between the police and the residents they are sworn to serve and protect will also be critical based on the fact that one side will always need the other. If a person holds the position of serving the people, how can you effectively do so if there is little or no understanding of the people? Robert Contee was an assistant Chief of the Metropolitan Police Department of Washington D.C. at the time he stated, “I think we’ve gotten smarter about things, in terms of the way that we deal with the communities that we serve.

We’ve learned that you can’t arrest your way out of problems.” Two years earlier, D.C. police began enrolling every recruit in a 10hour curriculum at the National Museum of African American History and Culture. “Officers coming here need to understand not just the city, but the people in this city.” Contee says. Individually, there are police officers who are making a difference and it often gets overlooked. Daniel Hahn, who served as Sacramento’s first Black police chief, never wanted to be a cop. Growing up in the Oak Park, a historically Black, working-class neighborhood of Sacramento, his early interactions with the police were largely negative.

“Officers weren’t held in high regard in my neighborhood,” Hahn said in an interview.

The racial tensions which are common between the Black community and the police

David W. Marshall

Commentary presents a unique challenge for the Black police officer who has to navigate between two worlds: a Black world and then the blue world. Many Black officers want to “be the change agent”, and then realize they are fighting against an entrenched police culture with a legacy of racism, protected by police unions and resistant to self-examination and change. There are approximately 18,000 law enforcement agencies nationwide, the most common are small-town police departments with 10 or fewer officers. Every law enforcement agency, large or small, is fixture within their respective community. As a result, any form of racism which is a part of society will spill over into the police’s blue code of silence.

Jacinta Gau, an associate professor of criminal justice at the University of Central Florida, said Black police chiefs are often hired because they are seen as “reformers” who can “clean things up and alleviate or eliminate racial tensions.” Black police chiefs are believed to able to bridge two communities historically at odds with one another. In reality, while cultural competency and bias training are being instituted in departments nationwide, the necessary changes will not be institutionalized if the institution itself is committed more to individual who discriminate.

The substantial financial loss a local jurisdiction ultimately pays for police misconduct has not been an effective reason to embrace the level of cultural changes needed within police departments. “Behavior is more likely to conform to culture than rules,” stated the 2015 report from President Barack Obama’s task force on 21st-century policing.

While police misconduct can devastate the lives of victims, their families and residents of the community, the misconduct can be a major financial price for cities and taxpayers to pay. Police misconduct costs cities millions of dollars each year in legal fees, settlements and judgements. Despite these significant financial costs, there is little accountability for the officers responsible for the misconduct. In many cases, officers who engage in misconduct are not disciplined, and may even continue to serve on the police force. It is rare for settlements to include any form of admission of guilt or wrongdoing. Not long after the National Faith and Blue Weekend, Baltimore’s Board of Estimates panel approved a $48 million settlement to three men who were wrongfully convicted of murder as teenagers and spent 36 years in prison. It becomes another example of why there remains a lack of trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve. Baltimore is not alone. The city of Minneapolis paid $27 million to the family of George Floyd. The family of Breonna Taylor’s family was paid $12 million.

Aside from high profiles cases, most claims of police misconduct are resolved quietly and with smaller sums. Local justifications say payments to resolve misconduct allegations, ranging from excessive force to illegal search and seizures, are more cost-effective than fighting the lawsuits in courts. The amount paid by cities along with the identity of the officers are often hidden from the public even though their taxes are covering the cost. The professional men and women in blue who serve and represent their department with dignity are often forgotten when all of the attention goes to the “bad apples”.

BLM stands unwaveringly with the oppressed?

After Hamas’s surprise attack on Israel on October 7, which U.S. President Joe Biden described as the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust, Black Lives Matter groups voiced their support for “the resistance” in Palestine.

BLM also asserted that state violence against Black Americans in the United States and state violence against Palestinians in Israel were similar. Therefore, “Palestinian resistance” must be understood as a desperate act of self-defense and not condemned.

BLM-grassroots clarified that as a “radical Black organization” that fights to end “militarism,” they must stand unwaveringly on the side of the oppressed.

Is this a true statement?

Since 2000, Eritrea’s government has forced minors to serve in the military.

Girls and boys are required to complete their final year of secondary education in a military camp.

Human Rights Watch reports that each year, thousands of young people are forcibly transported from their homes to military training. While the majority of 12th-grade pupils are over the age of 18, some are still children conscripted in violation of international standards.

For trivial infractions, the children are subjected to cruel treatment and severe punishments. They are also forced to work. One former student said, “They are making us into slaves, not educating us.”

Despite Eritrea’s law limiting military service to 18 months, it becomes indefinite. According to Human Rights Watch, a significant number of students adopt extreme measures to avoid the military. Students fail classes on purpose to remain in a lower grade or drop out of school to evade military training. Students who drop out of school are terrified of government roundups that transport unenrolled children directly to the military camp. Many young women choose early marriage and parenthood to avoid military service.

J. Pharoah Doss

Check It Out BLM grassroots claim to be fighting to end “militarism”, but they have never issued an official statement opposing forced military service in Eritrea.

Recently, the Daily Asian Age reported that Uyghurs residing in Turkey have taken a stand against China’s human rights abuses. (Uyghurs are an ethnic minority in China who are mostly Muslims.) A new Amnesty International report called China’s genocidal campaign against the Uyghurs a crime against humanity. These crimes include the mass internment of over 3 million people in concentration camps, forced labor, sterilizations, cultural erasure, the separation of nearly one million Uyghur children from their families, state-sanctioned rape, and the suppression of religious freedom.

The persecution of Uyghurs is obviously state-sponsored, but BLM-grassroots has never declared its support for the Uyghurs.

Since 2019, a Panel of Independent International Experts has reported that Muslims in India have been subjected to grave violations of their human rights.

According to the experts, the Indian government has enacted a number of laws and policies that directly target Muslims and disproportionately affect them. With regard to violations committed by nonstate actors, the state failed to take the essential measures, conduct an effective investigation, and prosecute those responsible. Many of these violations, according to the experts, constitute crimes against humanity, war crimes, and incitement to commit genocide.

BLM campaigns against mass incarceration, which indicts the system of racism because the number of minorities in U.S. prisons is disproportionate to their percentage of the population, but CNN reported, “What we are seeing in India is more than systemic oppression of Muslims and other minorities. Prior to 2014, Muslims accounted for only 14 percent of the population, but almost 20 percent of inmates in India’s jails. But with authorities abandoning their fundamental duty to safeguard the constitutional rights of minorities, India’s Muslim population is rendered insignificant by the day.”

BLM-grassroots did not express solidarity with India’s oppressed. Why do BLM grassroots support Palestine but not these other oppressed people?

As a “Black radical” organization, BLM adheres to the Black Radical Tradition.

BRT was popularized in Cedric Robinson’s book Black Marxism. BRT aims to disrupt the social, political, economic, and cultural norms that stem from European colonialism and American imperialism.

BLM’s mission statement states clearly that their overall objective is to eradicate White supremacy. Israel, according to BRT, is a colonial, settler-apartheid state allied with the White supremist powers in Europe and the United States. Therefore, BLM’s solidarity with Palestine stems from the idea that the enemy of my enemy is my ally.

Eritrea, China, and India are governed by “people of color.” BLM respects Eritrea’s, China’s, and India’s right to govern their respective countries as they see fit, and BLM shows their solidarity with nations governed by “people of color” by not condemning them when they are accused of human rights violations by White supremacists.

So, it’s not necessarily true that BLM stands with the oppressed. It’s more accurate to say BLM stands unwaveringly against White oppressors.

Lawsuit challenges Virginia Governor’s arbitrary denial of felons’ right to vote (TriceEdneyWire.com)—“The right to vote is the cornerstone of our democracy and should be accessible to every eligible resident. It has been proven that participating in the civic process reduces recidivism, and individuals take pride in their communities when they can fully contribute to Virginia. True democracy does not deprive individuals of participation based on the whim of one individual.

It’s time to correct the wrongs of our 1902 Constitution and leave the power to one succinct process that cannot be modified by a single person’s emotions in the moment.”—Sheba Williams, Executive Director, Nolef Turns Felony disenfranchisement is undeniably rooted in White supremacy.

In order to be admitted to the Union after the Civil War, the former Confederate states were required to ratify the 14th Amendment, which guaranteed the privileges of citizenship—including the right to vote—to formerly enslaved Americans.

Prohibited by federal law from barring Black voters, southern states quickly enacted measures known as the Black Codes, establishing severe penalties for minor and vaguely-defined crimes like vagrancy. At the same time, these states rushed to prohibit anyone with a felony conviction from voting.

As a result of this racist legacy, one in 19 Black Americans of voting age is disenfranchised, a rate 3.5 times that of all other Americans.

While many states have revised their laws and policies regarding felony disenfranchisement over the last three years, Virginia is the only state that places the voting rights of all residents with felony convictions at the sole discretion of a single individual, Governor Glenn Youngkin. That soon could change, thanks to a lawsuit filed by Fair Elections Center on

Marc H. Morial

To Be Equal behalf of Nolef Turns, Inc., a non-profit dedicated to helping individuals with felony convictions, and two disenfranchise Virginians, Gregory Williams and George Hawkins.

A federal judge last week denied Youngkin’s request to dismiss the case. The National Urban League applauds U.S. District Judge John A. Gibney’s decision, and condemns Youngkin’s actions which made the lawsuit necessary.

Under the three governors who proceeded Youngkin, Virginia used specific, objective, and neutral criteria to restore rights to people with felony convictions— criteria such as sentence completion, or release from incarceration.

“In this way, they used their authority under the Virginia Constitution to remove arbitrary decision-making from the process and create a uniformly administered, non-discretionary restoration system,” the plaintiffs wrote in their complaint.

But Youngkin threw out this policy and grabbed the power to deny individuals’ voting rights for himself.

As of October 2022, more than one in 20 Virginians with felony convictions remain disenfranchised even after completing their full sentences including parole and probation—the sixth highest rate in the nation To be clear, the lawsuit does not call for Virginia to restore voting rights for all

those with felony convictions—a policy that the National Urban League would endorse. It merely asks that Virginia set clear rules governing decisions on restoring voting rights, rather than leaving the decision to the whim of the Governor without explanation or justification.

The Virginia NAACP this week announced it will sue Youngkin for public records detailing how he makes decisions on voting rights restoration requests. He has withheld the records since the organization requested them in May. “Black Virginians are more overly represented in our correctional facilities. So, it impacts Black Virginians more so than any other ethnic group,” Virginia NAACP President Robert N. Barnette Jr., said.

“We want to make sure that if people have done their time and have applied for the rights to be restored, that either they are given a reason or their rights have been restored.”

The case also could have implications for Kentucky, where Governor Andy Beshear restored voting rights via executive order to most individuals with state felony convictions. But those with out-of-state, federal, and non-qualifying state felony convictions still are subject to the arbitrary decision of the governor “with no rules, laws, or criteria governing these restoration determinations.”

As a relic of Jim Crow White supremacy, felony disenfranchisement is inconsistent with the principles of fairness and democracy we claim to hold dear as a nation.

While Fair Election Center’s lawsuits won’t restore the voting rights of people on felony-level probation or parole in the 26 states that still deny them, or to the individuals who have successfully fulfilled their sentences in 11 states that still deny them, they are a step toward justice.

Steel mills can steal from the least powerful (TriceEdneyWire.com)—U.S. Steel gave birth to Gary, Indiana in 1906. The city, named after a chairman of the corporation’s board, started as housing for steelworkers. The Gary Works opened in 1908 and for most of the 20th century was the largest steel mill in the world; it’s still the largest in this country.

Kimmie Gordon understands the civic pride that grew from that history and knows about the 30,000 jobs that Gary Works offered at one time. There’s more to the story, she said. And those chapters need to be appreciated.

“You’re looking at 115 years of degradation of our natural resources, starting with our air,” Gordon said, noting that emergency room visits for respiratory issues are 30 percent higher in Gary than in neighboring counties. “We not only smell it and are harmed by it now, it’s our entire lives.”

A report last month from the Sierra Club named the Gary Works as the largest greenhouse gas polluter among more than 200 industrial plants nationwide.

The consequences don’t end at the steel mill’s gate, she explained. “People look at Gary, Indiana, and see we’ve been run over and dumped on for decades. They say let’s put our trucking company there or our plant to turn trash into jet fuel.”

Ben Jealous

Commentary She and other residents formed Gary Advocates for Responsible Development (GARD) to oppose projects like a trucking hub in the west side neighborhood where Gordon grew up or a gasification plant to turn Chicago’s plastic trash into fuel.

Gordon’s story about Gary is familiar in so many places that get deemed disposable because they lack political and economic power. In places like Gary, where the poverty is more than double the national level, people are forced to make an impossible choice between their health and jobs that pay for groceries.

The historic investments in clean energy, jobs, and infrastructure that President Biden and Congress pledged in 2021 and 2022 offer an unprecedented opportunity to change the narrative in places like Gary. More than $6 billion will reduce carbon pollution from steel mills and other industrial plants.

Communities that have had to bear a disproportionate brunt from corporate polluters qualify for nearly $3 billion in recovery block grants. There’s funding to cut diesel trucking emissions and to provide more monitoring in neighborhoods on the fence lines of plants.

The challenge now is to make sure Gordon and community advocates like her have a say in applying for and deploying those investments. The Environmental Protection Agency can help by implementing much more stringent air pollution standards for steel mills.

Gordon works to get more people of color into the outdoors through a group she founded called Brown Faces Green Spaces. Gary has natural places like the Ivanhoe Dune and Swale, the Brunswick Oak Savannah Trail, and the western tip of Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore that other communities lack, she said.

Industrial sites are nearby, Gordon explained. “When we do get a day when there’s no ozone alert, we try to get people outdoors for recreation, reflection, prayer, or meditation. Going and enjoying those places, you can’t get away from how close it all is to being degraded.”

OCTOBER 25-31, 2023 B5

McAuley Ministries awards $2.3 million in grants to 18 organizations McAuley Ministries, Pittsburgh Mercy’s grant-making foundation, awarded in July of 2023, 18 grants totaling over $2.3 million to support capacity building, disaster response, education, environmental care, essential needs and social services, and whole-person health initiatives in Pittsburgh’s Hill District, Uptown, and West Oakland; its three focus neighborhoods.

This is the first set of grants awarded as the organization marks its 15th Anniversary Celebration that began July 1, 2023, and will continue through August 2024. In 2022, McAuley Ministries announced it would focus its grantmaking on the diminishment of racism and violence in the communities it serves so it can be a catalyst for transformational efforts in Pittsburgh, the U.S., and the world. This emphasis will be accomplished through four pillars: Supporting our neighbors; Celebrating our communities; Building our communities’ resilience; and Uniting our communities.

One of the grants awarded is a new special initiative called Neighbor to Neighbor Aid. Granted to Macedonia Family and Community Enrichment (FACE) and Neighborhood Resilience Project, each nonprofit organization will receive $76,500 to address emergent and critical needs of residents in the Hill District, Uptown, and West Oakland that when supported, may prevent families from falling into crisis.

“One of the tenets of our work is being more than a foundation; it is being a good neighbor to the residents we have the blessing to live and work among,” stated Marisol Valentin, executive director of McAuley Ministries.

“Adding to our grantmaking portfolio funds that directly support resident needs was very important to us, especially at a time when inflation and other factors are eroding the safety nets that support families. Just like with Neighborhood Capital, we hope the philanthropic community will join McAuley Ministries in expanding this essential program.”

Organizations awarded grants of $10,000 or more were given an additional 2 percent in funding to focus on the mental health and spiritual well-being of their employees. “Focusing on the mental health and spiritual well-being of our partners is so important due to long-standing issues of inequity of investment in our communities”, said Valentin.

“The Program to Aid Citizen Enterprise (PACE) conducted a regional nonprofit effectiveness study that brought to light that communities of color are significantly less likely to have access to effective nonprofits, in part because organizations closest to communities with the greatest need receive less funding overall and less support for capacity-building. Therefore, it is important that in our grant-making we highlight the need to invest in our partners capacity, starting with an investment in the well-being of their employees,” added Valentin.

Grouped by grant-making priorities, the recipients of McAuley Ministries’ most recent grants are as follows.

Capacity Building Poise Foundation: $2,850 to support Operation Amani’s attendance at the 2023 HomeBoy Conference.
