No teens policy at Market Square elicits heated debate on both sides Police Chief Jason Lando: ‘We had to do something’

by Rob Taylor Jr. Courier Staff Writer

Between 3 p.m. and midnight, Thursdays through Sundays, those under the age of 18 are not allowed in Market Square in Downtown Pittsburgh without a chaperone at least 21 years of age.

That policy, that single sentence, has elicited an outpouring of debate, with some saying the policy is needed due to recent problematic behavior by teens at Market Square, and others saying the policy solves nothing and is unnecessarily exclusionary.

Over the past week or so, there have been two public meetings about the subject and both have involved youth—the Rise Up 365 Youth Forum, held at Point Park University, May 12, and the 1Hood Media Youth Forum, held at the “Blaxk” Box Theater in Oakland, May 16.

"Market Square...you have Juneteenth down there, you just had the Draft, and you just reopened. You're having all these events, kids are going to want to come down to Market Square," said Jaymerion Parris, 18, a senior at Brashear High School. "You have a lot of

food spots in there, too..."

Parris, who spoke at Point Park University in front of about 100 spectators, said that since the new policy was implemented, Market Square has, indeed, been peaceful.

But, "it's going to make kids want to come more and do bad stuff because you're taking away where all their friends hang at," Parris said.

Parris said he is part of A.I.M., a youth outreach organization of which local police agencies are familiar. He said when he has his A.I.M. hoodie on in Downtown, police don't mess with him. When he doesn't have it on, thus blending in with the other young people, he said there's at least one officer that messes with him in a negative manner, almost in a provoking manner.

"They pick and choose what they want to do with you," Parris said. "If a cop wants to see right through you and say, 'oh, he's a bad person, let's mess with him'...I recently just watched a kid get arrested by just standing there.

He's just standing there, what is he getting arrestHANNAH YOMI, 23, addresses panelists such as Public Safety Director Sheldon Williams and Pittsburgh Downtown Parted for?" nership President and CEO Jeremy Waldrup during the Rise Up 365 Youth Forum at Point Park University, May 12.

Westinghouse students get inspired by local Black attorneys The message: ‘Your circumstances don’t define you’

by Rob Taylor Jr. Courier Staff Writer

Attorneys are pretty good at talking about themselves, says Lena Bryan-Henderson, herself an attorney.

But she made sure that the meeting she and other Black attorneys had with Westinghouse High School students was not a bragging session; rather an engaging, interactive conversation with the students.

The students were part of the "Safe Passage" anti-violence program, run by the popular Operation Better Block organization in Homewood. "Safe Passage" enables students in six Pittsburgh Public Schools to help stop potential violence between students before it starts by alerting adults labeled as "Safe Passage Coordinators" who are assigned to each school. The students

earn no less than $150 per month by participating in the program.

Students like Nakiyah Gilmore and LaDarrius Carpenter asked the five panelists questions about their upbringing, how they dealt with obstacles in life, and the best advice they would give young people like them.

"When I was a young girl, my parents instilled in me to keep going, no matter what anybody said, no matter what anybody did, and that's what they expected," said Attorney Bryan-Henderson, who spent time as Allegheny County Public Defender.

"That's how I was able to get this confidence to navigate through, and it fuels me to keep putting one foot in front of the other, keep my head up, shoulders back."

Black astronauts and aerospace pioneers reflect on the past and future of space travel (DENVER, CO.) Trice Edney NewsWire—In the wake of Artemis II’s historic return from its mission around the moon, some of the nation’s most accomplished Black astronauts, engineers, and aerospace pioneers came together for an intergenerational conversation about perseverance, representation, and the future of space exploration. The discussion became a meditation on history, possibility, and the cultural significance of who now gets to shape humanity’s future beyond Earth.

The April 10 landing marked the first crewed journey into deep space since Apollo 8 in 1968. The mission also made history as the first to carry a woman, Christina Koch, a person of color, Victor Glover, and a non-U.S. citizen, Canadian Jeremy Hansen, around the moon, setting a new human deep-space distance record. Mission commander Reid Wiseman led the groundbreaking crew, whose achievement signaled not only technological progress but a profound cultural shift.

The online gathering was convened by Captain Willie Daniels (ret.), who has 48 years of association with United Airlines and founded SHADES OF BLUE, a nonprofit dedicated to introducing young people of color to aviation and aerospace careers. The moment carried special meaning for Daniels because Artemis II pilot Victor Glover, Jr. was among SHADES OF BLUE’S earliest graduates.

Moderated by Reginald Bullock, the conversation featured a cohort of aerospace trailblazers, including pioneering astronaut Ed Dwight; astronauts Winston Scott, Robert Curbeam, Joan Higginbotham, Jim Reilly, Leland Melvin, Charles Bolden, Frederick Gregory, Livingston Holder and Herbert Jefferson Jr., best known for his role as Lieutenant Boomer on the original Battlestar Galactica television series. Together, they represented decades of progress, struggle, and excellence in American aerospace.

THE ARTEMIS II CREW included Victor Glover, second from left, the first Black astronaut to fly to the moon. (NASA/ Frank Michaux) Victor Glover Sr. started the conversation by recounting his son’s early years. He recalled encouraging the younger Victor to pursue becoming a Navy pilot instead of a Navy SEAL—a pivotal decision that ultimately placed him on the path to NASA. Even now, Glover said, the magnitude of his son’s journey remains surreal, filled with pride, excitement, and the nervous awe of watching history unfold through family.

“It’s exciting, it’s nerve-wracking and it makes me quite anxious. But I’m enjoying every minute of it,” Glover said.

A generational perspective was shared by Ed Dwight, who in 1961 was selected by President John F. Kennedy to become America’s first Black astronaut. Though denied the chance to fly during NASA’s early years, Dwight ultimately fulfilled that dream decades later aboard Blue Origin’s New Shepard, becoming America’s oldest astronaut at age 90. Reflecting on Artemis II, he noted how dramatically both science and opportunity have evolved since the 1960s.

“They got the right guy to do what I could have and would have done had I had the chance,” Dwight said. “There’s so much science that has transpired since I was involved, and there’s so much more to observe now in the science of space.”

Former NASA Administrator Charles Bolden, nomination by President Barack Obama and the first African American to lead the agency, reflected on his own path through the segregated South. He described how entry into the Naval Academy and later test pilot school once felt nearly impossible.

His message to young people was clear: follow your passion, and when given leadership, take care of your people.

That theme of internal belief was reiterated in the reflections of astronaut Joan Higginbotham. As one of the few African American women to travel into space, she spoke candidly about repeatedly finding herself as “the only one” in classrooms, labs, and professional spaces. The greatest challenge, she said, was learning to know she belonged. Once she overcame that barrier, her journey became larger than personal success—it became a visible pathway for others.

“As one of the few African American women to travel to space, I’m deeply aware that my journey carries meaning beyond my own experience,” Higginbotham said. “It speaks to visibility, to access, and to the importance of expanding what people believe is possible for themselves.”

Leland Melvin’s story added another layer of resilience.

After losing his hearing in a training accident and being told he would never fly in space, he leaned on childhood lessons of persistence and the support of trusted advocates who refused to let him quit. That belief carried him through two missions and remains central to how he now thinks about legacy: ensuring young people can see themselves in the story of space.

What makes Artemis II feel different, several panelists agreed, is that the mission transcends science alone.

Winston Scott described it as a cultural breakthrough— one in which audiences are no longer primarily focused on race, gender, or nationality, but on the crew’s shared excellence and precision. In that sense, the mission represents not only a triumph of engineering but the visible erosion of long-standing social barriers.

Still, the group emphasized that symbolic breakthroughs must be followed by sustained action. Frederick Gregory, NASA’s first Black acting administrator, stressed the importance of moving quickly into Artemis III and Artemis IV so public imagination and momentum are not lost.

Continuous progress toward lunar rendezvous, docking operations, surface research, and eventual missions to Mars will determine whether Artemis II becomes a lasting legacy or a singular exception.

“I hope that we’re able to follow this with a quick Artemis III to work on the rendezvous and dockings with Blue Origin and SpaceX,” Gregory said. “And then Artemis IV to get us back on the moon again as the beginning of the first adventure in the journey to get to Mars and beyond.”

Bolden expanded that responsibility is beyond NASA, it’s calling on scientists, astronauts, and citizens alike to become advocates for space exploration. Sustained public enthusiasm must translate into congressional support and long-term funding if the promise of lunar permanence and Martian exploration is to be realized.

The cohort agreed that inspiration is the ultimate mission. Children need to see people who look like them talking about flying jets, designing rockets, and building future colonies beyond Earth. The most enduring legacy of Artemis II may not be the distance traveled, but the horizons expanded in the minds of the next generation. The conversation can be found at https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=v0aWtvAbt7E.

1743—Touissant L’Ouverture, the father of Haitian independence, is born. Although he was not part of the initial disturbances, L’Ouverture was quickly drafted into leadership of the 1791 Slave Revolt. He converted the random burnings of plantations and killings of unlucky Whites into a full-scale revolution against slavery on the island.

Under his leadership, the slaves were organized into an effective fighting force which would go on to defeat the British army and the greatest conqueror of the period, France’s Napoleon Bonaparte. Indeed, L’Ouverture’s fighting might was indirectly responsible for the growth of America. Desperate to raise money to fight the Haitians, Napoleon sold the massive Louisiana territory to America at an amazingly low price. L’Ouverture was tricked into attending a phony “peace conference” in France.

Once there he was jailed. But the leadership void was immediately filled by one of his lieutenants— Jean Jacques Dessalines who would complete the revolution started by L’Ouverture. Haiti became independent in 1804.

1854—Anthony Burns, one of the most celebrated fugitive slaves in American history, is captured by deputy U.S. Marshals in Boston. But at the time anti-slavery feeling was running high in Boston and it was one of the cities which had vowed not to obey the Fugitive Slave Act—a federal law that required even those opposed to slavery to help slave owners capture run-away slaves. For fear that Boston residents would help Burns escape to Canada, the U.S. government sent 2,000 troops to Boston to assist in returning Burns to Virginia. Thousands lined the streets as Burns was marched to a ship on June 3 for a trip back South. However, a Black Boston church raised the money to purchase Burns and within a year of his capture, he was back in Boston a free man.

No teens policy at Market Square elicits heated debate on both sides MARKET SQUARE FROM A1

Parris admitted that there are some young people who do start trouble Downtown, "because I've done some stuff, but I have grown up out of my ways. When fights go on, now that I'm with A.I.M., I break up the fights, regardless of whether I'm on the shift or not on the shift."

Parris said he thinks youth should be allowed at Market Square. "It shouldn't be an age restriction, because I still come down with my friends."

Technically, Parris is old enough to be at Market Square by himself, but most of the time, high schoolers can have friends and associates who are a little over or under 18.

"The youth have created an informal culture where they have been permitted to be in these spaces with certain activity," voiced Pittsburgh Public Safety Director Sheldon Williams, who is Black, at the Rise Up 365 event, Downtown. "It is not activity that is wanted from business owners, not from civic leaders," etc.

Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership President and CEO Jeremy Waldrup, seated next to Williams, added: "What we've experienced over the last several months in Market Square has moved beyond what we had historically seen in this space. Increasingly large groups of teens... fights, weapons, incidents that put young people and the broader community at risk, and frankly, at a certain point, it felt to me that doing nothing was irresponsible."

On May 7, the first Thursday that the new policy was implemented, a roller skating rink was placed temporarily in Market Square with a cost to skate of $17 for 75 minutes. Youth were excited to experience the makeshift roller rink, only to be informed about the new policy, which was being enforced by security and police.

Officials like Waldrup and Williams stressed that the policy is not permanent, but they felt like something had to be done to address violent acts that had occurred in Market Square and other parts of Downtown in recent months.

A primary question that was asked by some spectators to Williams was if any youth were consulted before the policy was put into place. Williams didn't give a clear answer in response.

"What's the strategy?

That's why we have to develop it. Who are the willing bodies, who are the willing entities...let's come together in a coordinated effort to address the issue," Williams said.

Williams' lack of a clear answer was not to the liking of some in the audience, like Hannah Yomi, 23, a Maryland native who came to Pittsburgh five years ago to attend the University of Pittsburgh.

Longtime Pittsburgh resident Tanika Harris, when it was her time to address the panel and attendees, flipped the script a bit.

She told the audience that she witnessed a stabbing that took place on Night One of the NFL Draft, April 23, on Wood Street, Downtown. A juvenile female was stabbed, police say, by another juvenile female, who has since been arrested. The juvenile female who was stabbed is recovering. Harris said the incident happened in front of the Downtown Pittsburgh Police Station, so don't get caught up with a policy about solely Market Square.

"It's not about Market Square," Harris said. "It's about our kids' lives...some of them are cuttin' up.

Not all of them, but some of them...It's our fault (adults). We are the reason why."

Harris said there are adults out there who either aren't watching closely what their kids are doing, and/or adults not

putting into place enough programs for kids to succeed and stay out of trouble.

"We pick and choose what's important to us in our communities," Harris said. "...Children, I apologize to you, because I failed you. I didn't want you all

to grow up the way I grew up. I wanted you to be my friend. I didn't want you to have to struggle the way I did, and so I made things a little too comfortable for you and did not prepare you to be outside."

Reverend Cornell Jones, the Group Violence Inter-

vention Coordinator for the City of Pittsburgh, discussed that it will take the entire "village" to wrap their arms around the youth and teach them other ways of being besides destructive ways.

Following the Rise Up 365 event at Point Park,

Pittsburgh Police Chief Jason Lando, who attended the event but did not address the audience, echoed Rev. Jones' sentiments that it was not just a "policing" issue, but an issue that should involve multiple layers and entities. "This (policy) was not

intended to be a permanent solution; it's a stopgap measure, because the Bureau of Police and our officers were getting called on a daily basis to Market Square for incidents that often resulted in violence.

As the police chief, we had to do something."

Westinghouse students get inspired by local Black attorneys WESTINGHOUSE FROM A1

the students to "pick positive people (to be around) so they can lift you up when you're feeling down."

The other attorneys or soon-to-be attorneys who spoke with the students on March 25 were Emmanuel Agladima, Reggie Bridges, Amber Owens and Tsean Michael.

Attorney Bridges, beaming with confidence, told the students that he always had "social confidence."

What exactly is "social confidence?"

"When you come from this environment, you're not afraid to talk to people, you're not scared of people, you've seen things that they haven't seen," Bridges explained. "I had stories to tell that my other fellow students couldn't tell because they had never seen anything. So I had social confidence but academically, I knew I was behind, so I knew I had to work harder."

Bridges said as he went through school and law school, he might "put in 'A' work" but still get a "C" in the class or on the test.

Still, he realized that his "C" in the class had him knowing more than the students who received an "A," but it may have come easier to those students who were more financially better off growing up.

"So eventually, when your mind catches up to the speed where it needs to be, you can surpass most people," Bridges told the students. "Things that come

easy to people, it doesn't mean much, but when it comes hard and you overcome it, then you've built something that other people don't have."

Bridges, for good measure, added: "And that's why I'm the best lawyer in this city, the best lawyer in this country," to a host of laughter.

All ears were listening to Pitt law student Tsean Michael's story. The father of three moved from California to Pittsburgh with his children to attend Pitt's law school, of which he's scheduled to graduate in May 2028. He explained to the students how he came from an impoverished environment, not unlike many of the students in front of him. He said earlier in his life, he veered down the wrong path, and even saw family members get prison sentences.

"I had to stop and re-evaluate my whole life at that point," Michael told the students when his brother received a sentence of 25 years to life.

Shamara Smith, Dameon Hill, Railynn Warner James and Khalil Thomas were the other Westinghouse students who were glued into Michael's words.

"Your circumstances don't define you," Michael, who is in his mid-30s, told the students. "I come from a similar neighborhood background. It took me a long time to realize that I could be here, so I want to help others realize that they can pursue higher learning, something greater in life for themselves."

Boo Pickens with the Steelers...cheer for him with the Cowboys?

Hey there Steeler nation, I need you to follow the bouncing ball as we all sing the "yinzer" fan favorite, "The Ballad of George Pickens." The late Johnny Cash might even do a fly-by, if he doesn’t oversleep. I will be livestreaming from the gravesites of Lawrence Welk and his protégé, Mitch Miller.

I’ll be hanging out with Maestro Welk because we share the same birth-

demand requiring that every drop of blood must be extracted from the NFL resident turnip, otherwise known as Jerry Jones.

Tommy Jaggi posted this article, "Steelers fans just got every reason to root for George Pickens in Week 3."

Mr. Jaggi wrote: “The George Pickens trade doesn't feel any better a year later. On May 7, 2025, the Pittsburgh Steelers sent Pickens packing his bags for the Dallas Cowboys. Their 2022 second-round pick would go on to have a career season on his new team.

Pickens raked in 93 receptions for 1,429 yards and nine touchdowns in his first year in Dallas.

And the Steelers look like even bigger losers in the deal after they turned the third-round pick they received from the Cowboys (No. 76 overall in 2026) into polarizing quarterback Drew Allar. But as much as it might pain fans to root for Pickens' success, we should all be hoping for the ex-Steelers wideout to have a monstrous showing in Week 3 of the 2026 season. Once

again, the Ravens pose the biggest threat to the Steelers. That's where George Pickens comes in.

It always seems like it comes down to the wire between the Steelers and Ravens. With Mike Tomlin gone, perhaps this will finally be the year that Pittsburgh isn't in the running for the division by the season finale.

We obviously won't know Pittsburgh's end-of-season status in September, but to be safe, we should root for George Pickens and the Cowboys to defeat the Ravens in Week 3.”

When George Pickens sailed into Pittsburgh piloting his yacht, "The Slim Pickens," the "yinzer nation" could not find or accept the slightest reason to support him, even for a paltry five minutes.

Yet, they will support him and his current team, the Dallas Cowboys for 60 minutes because of the possibility that Pickens may help the Steelers in their quest for another AFC North crown.

Mr. Jaggi all but admitted that he was the leader of the “hypocrites from hell” when he wrote: “But as much as it might pain fans to root for Pickens' success.”

How can any fan or writer be in pain rooting for a player, any player that can help them? There is no place in sports or anywhere else in the world, for this wicked and undeserved bias.

If the Steelers would have retained Pickens, they would not have to rely on the Cowboys to help them stay a leg up in the fight to claim an AFC North title in 2026.

The only name that many Steeler fans yelled and screamed when George Pickens was introduced during the pregame ceremonies at Acrisure Stadium in 2024 was "BOO" and certainly not "honey boo boo.”

However, if George Pickens happens to tweak a muscle or lightly sprain an ankle prior to the week 3 matchup of the Ravens versus the Cowboys later

this year and the Ravens prevail, the only advice that I have for you is to call my cousin Karma, and give her an earful, post haste!

Throughout my four decades-plus journey as a scribe, I have read and deciphered many soulless articles written under the cover of night. Conjured up in dark rooms, depicting Black athletes and Black coaches under “black lights,” written on whiteboards with text illuminated by ultra-fluorescent magic markers.

They then proceed to preserve these tainted works so that their handiwork may be safely transported to fortresses built and maintained by their ignorance and perverted imaginations.

The following is a perfect example of their “ghost journalism.” Brogan Noey, Senior Writer at steelernation,com, posted the following: “Steelers' Mike McCarthy Just Exposed Mike Tomlin’s Biggest Weakness: More Detailed Quarterback Feedback Than Tomlin Gave in Years.” Mr. Noey writes: "Every head coach in the NFL has their specialties. Tomlin's was being a player's coach and getting the most out of his team.

He was the ultimate motivator, and that is a big reason the Steelers typically remained somewhat competitive even with a struggling roster. McCarthy is not the same type of coach. He is going to use X's and O's on the offensive side of the ball to his advantage, and he is going to work to find Pittsburgh its next franchise quarterback. It'll be very different, but it is probably what is needed.”

Will Mike McCarthy be able to use the same X’s and O’s to break down the Steelers defense as well as he can break down the Steelers offense? I doubt it very seriously! Throughout the years that Aaron Rodgers was in the stable of Mike McCarthy, the dynamic duo only competed in one Super Bowl, Super Bowl XLV! Rodgers ac-

complished a few personal feats, but in the end, it was not about the team.

They both coveted personal gains and achievements. But when it was all said and done, they were both given a trunk full of Wisconsin cheese and a case of Metamucil by the city of Green Bay. They also received two one-way tickets for an all-expenses-paid cruise to the Bermuda Triangle.

However, if not for the courage of the Steelers crew that rescued Rodgers and McCarthy, the ship transporting them would have certainly been sucked into the "vortex of unemployment."

Let’s look at the subject of superior coaching.

Mike Tomlin began coaching for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2001 at the tender age of 29. He was merely 31 years old when he coached the Buccaneers' secondary and won Super Bowl XXXIII. In that game, the secondary of Mike Tomlin picked off the Oakland Raiders QB Rich Gannon five times and three were pick sixes.

Tomlin also competed in two Super Bowls as the head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, winning Super Bowl XLIII and losing Super Bowl XLV. The only Super Bowl coaching experience that Mike McCarthy has ever had was as the head coach of the Green Bay Packers, who won Super Bowl XLV. Mike McCarthy reached four NFC Championship games as the head coach of the Green Bay Packers, but he won only one of them. So much for this legendary offense. Mike Tomlin won two AFC Championships during his 19-year tenure with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Regarding as to who the the more successful coach might be, the Pittsburgh Steelers head coaching job will be the third head coaching job in 18 seasons for Mike McCarthy. 'Nuff said.

MAY 20-26, 2026 A7

Take Charge Of Your Health Today. Be Informed. Be Involved.

Urban League Family Resource Center helps families in need Helping a family in need doesn’t have to involve a big dramatic moment. Small, simple acts of kindness can add up over time and transform lives for the better. It might begin with a ride to the grocery store. A pack of diapers. A program that helps a young child get ready for kindergarten. Or a conversation that helps someone find a job, a better place to live, or mental health care.

At the Urban League of Greater Pittsburgh’s Family Support Centers, providing that kind of help is part of its larger goals—to help African American and other marginalized families across the region gain the tools, confidence, and encouragement they need to thrive.

“The Urban League’s mission is to empower people to achieve economic self-reliance, parity, and civil rights,” said Jennifer Thompkins, the president and CEO of the Urban League of Greater Pittsburgh. “We are not just giving families things. We are saying we want you to feel empowered, to have your voice heard, and to have agency.”

That mission comes to life at their three Family Support Centers, located in East

Hills, Northview Heights, and Duquesne. Each location provides a space where parents, caregivers, and children can access community resources, build relationships with staff and other families, and receive the support they need. Instead of families having to travel downtown or navigate different government agencies on their own, the Centers bring resources closer to the neighborhoods where families live.

“Our Family Support Centers are an extension of the work we do at the Urban League,” Ms. Thompkins said. “The work there is really about giving the necessary tools to every single family. Not only so they can live in the moment, but so they can actually think about a future.”

There is both immediate and long-term assistance available through the Centers. Families can receive help with basic needs such as food, toiletries, baby supplies, and transportation for essential services. They can also connect with programs that support early childhood development, financial literacy, home ownership, employment, civic engagement, and health equity.

That last issue is a very

JENNIFER THOMPKINS important one. “When we talk about health equity, our Family Support Centers are not just thinking about one part of a person’s life,” Ms. Thompkins said. Health equity is about more than just medical care. It also means whether families have access to food, transportation, employment, housing, childcare, mental health services, and trusted sources of information.

Trust is one of the Centers’ most important assets.

The Urban League has been a voice in the community for over 100 years, but trust must be earned every single day. “The way we build and sustain trust

is through our relationships with families,” Ms. Thompkins said. “A lot of our staff have been there for years.

In so many areas of life people experience a revolving door, but the Urban League has done a wonderful job of keeping key staff people in the community. That builds trust because families know exactly who the staff people are.”

Those who serve those communities also live in them as well. “We are very intentional about hiring people from the community,” Ms. Thompkins said.

“So many people who come through our Family Support Centers become ambassadors in their own communities. They become leaders in civic engagement, leading citizen councils and helping their neighbors understand what resources are available.”

Delivering on promises is the other way the Urban League builds trust with those they serve. “When we say the food pantry will be there, we make sure the food pantry is there. When we say toiletries and baby supplies will be there, we make sure they are there,” Ms. Thompkins said. “We were having a staff meeting when a family came in. I said, ‘No, let’s take a break.

They need something.’ They were there to get diapers and we helped them. That in itself builds trust.”

The Urban League has adapted to changes in technology over the years to ensure their communities have access, and so they can connect with people in new ways. “Technology doesn’t cancel out relationships, but how we initially form those relationships is changing,” Ms. Thompkins said. “Their first connection with us might be an Instagram post, or our Facebook page. We’ve partnered with Comcast and others to make sure the people we serve have access to technology, access to Wi-Fi, and access to information that will help them thrive.”

Partnerships with local organizations plays a key role in expanding the reach of the Family Support Center’s mission. “We partner with UPMC for our annual Thanksgiving giveaway where we impact thousands of families in a single day,” Ms. Thompkins said. “UPMC is huge in ensuring that they not only talk to families but also provide information and offer health screenings. We’ve partnered with UPMC on regular programming at our Centers, making sure

people know about the importance of health screenings and when they should get them.”

For as much assistance as the Family Support Centers provides, Ms. Thompkins said, there’s always more they COULD do. “I do not believe we are meeting every need, and I think we have ideas to expand services,” she said. “We’re meeting the basics, but there is a greater need for empowerment programming and youth programming. At our Duquesne Family Support Center we have a connection with CareerLink to help place people in jobs. I would love to expand our mental health services.”

Those are ideas for the future, but today the Family Support Centers are fulfilling their mission to offer important services every day to their communities.

“I encourage our staff to think about what would be lacking if the Family Support Centers weren’t here,” Ms. Thompkins said. “They might not have access to food, or toiletries, or transportation. They wouldn’t have empowerment programs. That is where our value lies—filling those gaps and making an impact.”

Dr. Catherine Ngozi Udekwu was the ‘Mr. Rogers’ of pediatricians In the African American communities of Pittsburgh, generations of families are connected by a shared legacy—they entrusted their children’s care to Dr. Catherine Ngozi Udekwu. For her patients, she was a constant, a confidant, and a cornerstone of community health.

Dr. Udekwu passed away on February 1, 2026, but her impact continues to resonate throughout her adopted city and the medical community.

Dr. Udekwu, was born in Nigeria to a medical family.

Her father, Dr. Fabian Udekwu, performed the first open-heart surgery in West Africa, and her late brother Anthony was a trauma surgeon. After receiving her medical degree from the University of Nigeria, she completed her residency at UPMC Mercy. And she remained here, establishing her practice in the Uptown neighborhood and becoming a lifelong and passionate Pittsburgher.

Her career was defined not only by clinical excellence but by an unwavering commitment to the African American community she served.

Her approach to medicine

was deeply personal, accessible to all, and rooted in trust, and that commitment was admired by her patients and her fellow physicians.

“She was what we called everybody’s pediatrician, especially for the Black community,” said Dr. Sylvia Owusu Ansah, a pediatric emergency medical physician who worked with Dr. Udekwu. “Any Black family who came to me and needed a pediatrician, I would refer them to Dr. Udekwu. There was never a time when I called and the answer was no. She found some way to squeeze them in, and I thought that was incredible.”

At a time when many healthcare providers face mounting pressures—shorter appointment windows, large patient populations, and administrative burdens—Dr. Udekwu practiced medicine differently. She prioritized time, relationships, and accessibility in ways that are increasingly rare.

“She really balanced an old-school and new-school way of approaching medicine,” Dr. Owusu Ansah said.

“Old school in that she took the time with her patients—

really listened, really cared.

And patients stayed with her until they were adults.”

In many cases, those same patients would bring their own children to her, creating a multi-generational bond that speaks to the trust she built. That trust was especially impactful for African American families, who often face barriers to accessing consistent, culturally-competent healthcare. By working within this community, Dr. Udekwu helped close those gaps through her consistent, everyday presence.

As healthcare systems deal with issues of equity, access,

and trust, Dr. Udekwu’s career offers a roadmap. Foremost among her lessons is the importance of accessibility—not just being there physically, but also emotionally, and building long-term relationships.

“You can be in the community and still not be accessible,” Dr. Owusu Ansah said.

“She was both. She figured out how to spend the time her patients needed. She was present and caring. Not only about her pediatric patients, but about the parents, too.

She did not take any part of that family dynamic for granted.”

Dr. Udekwu’s work was celebrated beyond her circle of patients. In 2021, she received UPMC’s Top Pediatrician award, and Mayor Ed Gainey proclaimed September 25, 2024, as Dr. Catherine Udekwu Day, honoring her extraordinary dedication to patients, parents, and Pittsburgh.

In her speech on that day, Dr. Udekwu spoke of the joy she took from her work and also how grateful she was to those who brought their children to her for care. She said, “Serving as a physician and caregiver to all of the little humans, my little creatures, what I call them, has been the greatest privilege of my career. Trusting adults to physicians is one thing.

Trusting your children to physicians is profound. And I didn’t get it, until I got it.

And now I get it even more.”

She has passed that lesson and so many more to the colleagues she worked with during her career. “I have been here for nine years, but within my first year, I knew who Dr. Udekwu was,” said Dr. Owusu Ansah. “She built a network of physicians who were like-minded. Everyone

knew her, and with her passing and funeral, you could see that hundreds of medical professionals were touched by her at some point in her career.”

Continuing her work is the best way her colleagues can honor Dr. Udekwu’s legacy.

“Community is where it is at for medicine,” said Dr. Owusu Ansah. “Institutions would be negligent to focus only on hospital infrastructure and patients coming to them. To provide the best outcomes in 2026 and beyond, you need to go where your patients are. You can no longer wait for them to come to you. That is what Dr. Udekwu did best.

We need to make community-based care a priority, not an afterthought.”

There’s another beloved Pittsburgher who focused on community, though he used another word. “This is Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood,” Dr. Owusu Ansah said. “Everybody felt like they knew Mr. Rogers because he had that connection to people. He knew the power of relationships. Dr. Udekwu was like the Mr. Rogers of pediatricians. She really cared, and her patients felt that.”

Brown Mamas remove barriers that make motherhood difficult Motherhood can be isolating even under the best circumstances. There are childcare responsibilities, work schedules, rising costs, and the daily demands of family life. Many mothers struggle to find enough time, support, or meaningful connections to ease the burden. For African American mothers those challenges are compounded by gaps in care, lack of access, and the feeling that there isn’t enough support that reflects their experiences.

But across Pittsburgh, thousands of mothers have found a place built specifically for them.

Brown Mamas, a community hub serving Black mothers in Allegheny county and the surrounding area, is a vital network where women can find support, mentorship, practical resources, and a connection with others navigating many of the same challenges. What began as a small online community where a few women gathered to talk about their struggles and triumphs has evolved into an organization that serves nearly 8,000 women.

It offers mothers everything from in-person educational programs and career networking to wellness events, childcare support, and neighborhood-based aid.

“Brown Mamas is a community hub that intersects with mothers on various levels, whether that is programming, giving mothers access to resources, or doing warm

TAMERA DIXON handoffs to community referrals,” said Tamera Dixon, the organization’s community manager. “We are an online community, but we also do in-person programming around the various stages of womanhood.”

Their support stretches across generations and various stages of life. Brown Mamas serves new mothers, those with older children in school, women returning to school themselves, empty nesters, and even mothers grieving the loss of a child.

The organization strives to remove barriers that make motherhood even more difficult and stressful than it already is.

“I believe that being a Black woman in Pittsburgh comes with challenges, period,” Ms. Dixon said. “Whether it’s

Black maternal health or issues like menopause, there is not always the same information being disseminated.

There isn’t always the same access to resources.”

To address those problems, Brown Mamas relies on an intentional approach to accessibility. The organization recognizes that for many mothers—especially those balancing work, school, and family—participation in community programming can be difficult.

So they remove those barriers. The organization has a strong online presence through Facebook, Instagram, and their newsletter, so people can easily keep up with what services and programs are available. In-person events often include childcare, food, and locations accessible by public transportation. There is no charge for the mothers who participate in programs or come for support. These seemingly simple considerations make a profound difference for a mother already juggling too many responsibilities.

“If it’s after work, you’ve got to pick up your child and feed your family, but you still want to be present,” Dixon explained. “We try to incorporate all the things so that a mom can show up and just be present.”

But Brown Mamas offers far more than organized events. It functions as an everyday resource network, one that women can take advan-

tage of (or participate in) at any time. At its heart Brown Mamas is a community, one that takes advantage of both in-person and online connection to inform, educate, and support.

“Even virtually, you can build community,” Ms. Dixon said. “It’s true what people say, sometimes it isn’t what you know, it’s who you know.

Being connected to Brown Mamas is like being part of a social group. Many moms come for support, but many come to give something to the community, whether that is their experience, information about resources, or a job connection that can help elevate another mom.”

Many mothers who are struggling might not know that help is just a few doors away. “Sometimes we just connect moms in the same neighborhood,” Ms. Dixon said. “If we have a mom on the east side of town and there’s another mom with a car, we can connect them.

The mom who is driving can receive a stipend. She may already be going places for herself, but now she can help other families, drop things off for them, and be paid gas money. These are the kinds of things that happen when we really build community.”

The programs reflect the real needs of the mothers they serve. During Black Maternal Health Week, Brown Mamas hosted a postpartum step class, combining physical wellness, community bond-

ing, and childcare support in a single event. The class was informed directly by feedback from mothers who wanted movement-based programming and space to reconnect with their bodies after childbirth. Brown Mamas reached out to a step instructor who is also a newer mom to teach the class, because she knew exactly what these women were going through.

“That’s full circle,” Dixon said. “Moms are identifying what they need, and we’re creating spaces around that.”

For Ms. Dixon, the path to Brown Mamas began with a deeply personal search for connection. A transplant to Pittsburgh and a new mother as well, she found herself navigating parenthood without a built-in support system.

While she encountered other mothers in school and social settings, their experiences often felt worlds apart from her own.

“I was looking for people who looked like me and shared similar experiences,” Dixon said. “I didn’t have that built-in community here, and I didn’t see it anywhere.”

Brown Mamas filled that gap. Initially engaging with people online, Dixon found a space where she could listen, learn, and connect from home—an essential option for new mothers balancing work, childcare, and exhaustion. Over time, that virtual connection translated into real-world relationships.

“It started virtually, but

then you build rapport,” she said. “When you feel comfortable, you can step into those in-person spaces.”

Despite its current reach and impact, Brown Mamas faces significant challenges of its own. “Funding is always a challenge,” Ms. Dixon said.

“We could do a lot more if there was funding that said, ‘We believe in the work.’” She envisions expanded services like postpartum care packages for new mothers, but said limited resources often require that the organization focuses on what is immediately achievable.

Brown Mamas also advocates for greater inclusion in civic and institutional conversations affecting Black women and families. “Being invited into spaces so people can better understand the collective experience of Black and Brown women in the region is critical,” Ms. Dixon said.

But she remains hopeful about the future and believes collaboration can multiply Brown Mamas’ impact. Her vision is simple and direct— stronger connections, more open doors, and a broader understanding that small acts of support can transform families and communities.

“My hope is for more collaboration around the motherhood journey,” Ms. Dixon said.

“We are all in it together, so it helps to have people around you.”

Ron Brown, Jeff Baldwin, Bobby Franklin — 'Legends' come back to give back!

Either you’ve been under the proverbial rock the past 40-plus years or you’re just another pickleballer (oh just relax will ya, we all know pickleball is not a real sport, just something to do when you get old and can’t run anymore. Yeah, I said it, but you were thinking it! And you’re welcome!)...

This reference is offered in the event that you don’t know the three basketball legends I speak of...

Ron Brown, Jeff Baldwin, and Bobby Franklin. They, along with 22 other Pittsburgh, Allegheny County,

and Western Pa. all-time greats, will be returning to what used to be considered the basketball hub of the East Coast...Western Pa.! (It’s important to note that Ron, Jeff, and Bob-

the names, you are quickly reminded of the greatness that once operated on the Pittsburgh pro, college, high school, and schoolyard basketball courts. Greats like Chuck Cooper, Connie Hawkins, Kenny Durrett, Ricky Coleman, Jeep Kelley, Mary Myers, Norm Nixon, Ron Carter, Sam Clancy, Maurice Lucas, Jennifer Bruce, Jarrett Durham, Charles Smith, Karen Hall, Darelle Porter, Kirk Bruce, “Big John” Marshall, Billy Varner, Myron Brown, Mark McCloud, Chip Harris, Morrie “Skylab” Cox, Tim Appleton and countless others who paved the way for future greatness.

Ron Brown will be coming in from Virginia where he’s been retired from a tremendous corporate career. Brown was a 1970 high school All-American star out of Columbia Prep H.S. in New York City.

Recruited by the likes of N.C. State, Maryland and Columbia just to name a few. Even though he caught the eye of legendary coaches John Wooden, Billy Packer and Norm

Flying in from Houston will be former General Braddock H.S. basketball and football star Jeff Baldwin. Little wonder he and his schoolyard neighbors all went on to great collegiate and professional success, given that playing each other every day could only lead to greatness...by the way, those neighbors being Billy Knight, Hosea Champine, Pete Harris, Eric Jefferson, Terry Knight... well, who are we kidding... all the Knights, just to name a few.

A 1972 Pa. state title, first team All-Section Basketball, and All-Conference wide receiver and D-back, Baldwin bypassed the lure of Pitt, Michigan State and West Virginia to keep it family-local at Duquesne University, where he was a mem-

They will be returning to the Steel City from all sections of the U.S. to be a part of the continuing basketball learning tree of the Connie “The Hawk” Hawkins “Legends” youth basketball camp for 7th, 8th, and 9th grade boys and girls.

Now that you’ve heard

Sloan, he went on to superstar status at Penn State where he helped establish big-time basketball at a big-time college football program.

Drafted by the Boston Celtics, Ron continued his pro career with the New Jersey Nets before injuries had their way. He recalls the importance and the impact of seeing those who came before him such as Willis Reed, Bob “But-

J.B., now working in the energy sector corporately and as an entrepreneur, gives major props to his success as a standout high school and college athlete to discipline, commitment, and attention to detail and wants to pass that on to this year’s campers.

To this day he’s reminded of the impact the guys he looked up to had on him.

Most notably, Reggie Fry and Kenny Reaves, who had a 12-season career with the Atlanta Falcons of the NFL. To this day, J.B. remembers and also echoes what was taught to him!

I think it says somewhere in “The Good Book,” “The first shall be last and the last shall be first”... wait, what? (You know you can’t quote me on “The Good Book,” but Lord knows I try to be good!)

Point being, last and certainly not least of the Big 3 is the great Bobby Franklin. And let me tell you right from the start, if anybody knows anything about motivating kids, it’s Bobby Franklin. The man spent 40-plus corporate years with the Mattel toys corporation and traveled the globe improving the lives of young people and bringing Christmas smiles to their faces for a lifetime of memories.

As you know, we don’t normally take too kindly to Cleveland folks, but in this case we have to.

Simply put, if the man can score 40 on you anytime he wanted to, you put aside the whole Cleveland thing. Add to that, his Mr. Basketball H.S. title, growing up against the grain and surviving the parts of town that some don’t or can’t! Bobby Franklin arrived in Pittsburgh after a series

Now hold on, wait a minute, I know what you’re about to say, and you would be wrong...OK, let me say it out loud for ya, “Well, it was only Point Park, not Pitt, Duquesne or even Robert Morris.”

And your attempt at trying to be right about something would fall short yet again, given that...off the book...The Point Park Boys were kicking the basketball butts of all the other schools on a regular basis!

Take your pick, if it was The Centre Avenue “Y,” The “Due Brown” League Fifth Avenue, The Pitt Fieldhouse, The Jack Crossan Tournament in Vandergrift, The Brookville Invitational, or the nationally-recognized Connie Hawkins Pro/Am Summer League...Bobby and Lloyd Franklin, Terry Peavy, Larry “Un-Real” Gordon, Kevin “Dr.

K.” Walls, Melvin Paul, and Sonny Lewis, the Point Park Pioneers were kicking butt and taking names...

Being the only African American in the “upper echelon” of Mattel for years, Franklin can deliver the messages of hard work, mental toughness, and a never-quit attitude to the kids at camp like none other.

By the way, in case you needed further validation, the great Norm Nixon—L.A. Lakers world champion—said, and I quote, “Bobby Franklin is as good as any guard I’ve ever played with and deserved to be in the NBA!” Most important, Saturday, May 30, 2026, one day only, 8 a.m. registration, child must be registered by a parent, guardian, or coach.

Property is Power!

Eden Hall Foundation announces new president and vice president

The missing conversation in Black America about wealth and land For generations, Black Americans have understood something fundamental about land that the broader culture often chooses to forget—property is not merely shelter. Property is leverage. Property is permanence. Property is political power with a deed attached to it. And yet, despite that truth being embedded deeply in the history of Black America, from the farmers who fought to keep their acreage after Reconstruction to the middle-class families who migrated north and bought brick homes in Detroit, Chicago, Baltimore, and Atlanta, there remains a troubling disconnect between how many Black Americans discuss wealth and how wealth is actually built in America. Too often, we approach income as success and overlook ownership as strategy.

A six-figure salary may create comfort, but property creates staying power. A prestigious title

RICHARD W. TAYLOR

The New Pittsburgh Courier has learned that The Eden Hall Foundation Board of Directors on May 13 announced Richard W. Taylor as its new President, following a national search, and the promotion of Alicia Andrews as Vice President of Programs and Strategy.

Taylor joins the Foundation as it prepares to roll out its first strategic plan later this year that will guide grantmaking and enhanced areas of impact in the community. He

brings extensive experience in national political affairs, regional corporate and philanthropic leadership and local community engagement.

His past roles include as an advisor to Congressional and Presidential campaigns, legal counsel for corporations, and as a community and faithbased leader with Macedonia Church of Pittsburgh in the Hill District. Most recently, he served as CEO of ImbuTec, a Pittsburgh-based electrical SEE EDEN HALL B2

ANTHONY O. KELLUM may signal achievement, but real estate creates transferable wealth. And in America, transferable wealth, not income, is what shapes family trajectories, educational opportunity, political influence, and intergenerational stability. This is not ideology, it is structure.

The uncomfortable truth is that many Black professionals have mastered the language of professional advancement while remaining underexposed to the mechanics of capital formation. We know how to earn. We have become exceptional at navigating corporate America, academia, medicine, law, government, athletics, entertainment, and entrepreneurship. But earning alone, even at high levels, rarely closes the racial wealth gap because income is transactional while ownership compounds. That distinction matters more than ever.

The wealthiest communities in America are not wealthy because they simply make more money.

They are wealthy because they own appreciating assets. They own land in strategic corridors.

They own rental property. They own commercial buildings. They own apartment complexes. They own industrial parks. They own shares in companies. They understand depreciation schedules, leverage, tax advantages, refinancing, and equity extraction. Their money works while they sleep because ownership is structured to produce cash flow and appreciation simultaneously. Black America must increasingly think this way—not emotionally, but strategically.

Homeownership is often dismissed today as an outdated aspiration, especially among younger SEE PROPERTY IS POWER B2

Is refinancing your mortgage right for you?

Sponsored by JPMorganChase Depending on where you are in your homeownership journey, refinancing your mortgage can be an effective strategy to help you meet your financial goals. Refinancing may help you save money over time or add money back to your monthly budget if you score a lower interest rate. And depending on the type of refinance you choose, you could also borrow against your home’s equity to pay down debt or make a major purchase.

Understanding when and why a refinance might make sense is the first step toward getting the most from this financial tool. There are also different types of refinances to consider, and one might work better for your goals than another.

What is refinancing?

Refinancing replaces your current mortgage with a new one—usually

with a new rate and/or terms. It can often also come with a new set of closing costs. It may also come with a new lender.

So when does it make sense to refinance? You might want to consider a refinance if you want to: Change the loan length or lower your monthly payments.

Secure a better or lower interest rate to save on monthly payments.

Switch from an adjustable-rate mortgage to a fixed-rate one.

Change the loan type to remove mortgage insurance costs.

Access your home equity to fund home improvements, buying another property, or consolidate debt.

How does refinancing work?

Much like your original mortgage, the refinancing process involves a thorough review of your current financial status to determine if you qualify.

Here’s an example of what a lender may review: Credit score and history: Score requirements vary by lender and loan type; 620 is a general minimum for conventional mortgages. Lenders want to see responsible credit use, such as a positive payment history on your debt.

Debt-to-income (DTI) ratio: This metric shows how much debt you have in relation to your income.

To calculate your DTI, add up your monthly debt payments and divide by your gross monthly income. Then multiply by 100 to get a percentage.

A low DTI lets lenders know you’ll likely be able to manage your monthly payments with minimal issues.

Property value and equity: Many homeowners have built equity over time, and the real estate market can cause property values to appreciate as well. When refinancing, your current loan balance and market value of the property will help the lender calculate a loan-to-value (LTV) ratio. Refinancing qualifications usually prefer lower LTVs. SEE REFINANCING B2

Gen X is running out of time—and too many folks are still playing catch-up Generation X—those of us born between 1965 and 1980—were raised believing that if we worked hard, stayed loyal to our jobs, and handled our responsibilities, retirement would eventually take care of itself. We watched our parents retire with Social Security, pensions, paid-off homes, decent healthcare, and a level of financial stability. We thought we’d follow the same playbook.

We were wrong. Somewhere along the way, the game changed.

The retirement picture for Gen X is not pretty. According to recent data, a significant portion of my generation is pushing back retirement—not by choice, but by necessity. Real talk! My generation got squeezed from every direction.

We survived layoffs, outsourcing, rising college costs, exploding healthcare expenses, the dot-com crash, the 2008 housing collapse, inflation spikes, and a global pandemic that disrupted everything. At the same time, many of us were trying to raise children, maintain households, support aging parents, and simply survive paycheck-to-paycheck.

Now retirement is getting closer, and many Gen Xers are quietly admitting something they never thought they’d say: “We can’t afford to stop working.”

The numbers tell a troubling story.

Study after study shows Gen X is one of the least financially prepared generations when it comes to retirement. Many households in their late 40s and 50s have far less saved than experts recommend. Some estimates show the average Gen Xer is hundreds of thousands of dollars short of what they believe they’ll need for retirement.

And when you really calculate what retirement costs today, it becomes clear why people are nervous.

Housing costs are up. Transportation costs are up. Healthcare costs are up.

Childcare costs are up. Insurance costs are up. Food prices are up. Utilities are up. Everything feels expensive.

Meanwhile, wages for many workers haven’t kept pace with the actual cost of living. Folks are working harder but feeling like they’re falling behind and having a hard time catching up.

And then there’s another issue people don’t like talking about, Lifestyle infla-

tion. Lifestyle inflation is one of the biggest silent wealth killers in America.

As income increased, spending increased right along with it. Bigger homes. Luxury vehicles.

Vacations financed on credit cards. Expensive gadgets.

Designer labels. Endless subscriptions. Everybody upgraded their lifestyle, but not enough people upgraded their savings rate.

One day you’re surviving on $45,000 a year. Then later you’re making $85,000… but somehow still living paycheck-to-paycheck. Why? Because expenses rose right alongside income.

A lot of people never truly built wealth because every raise became another monthly payment. Social media made it worse.

Folks started comparing themselves to strangers online and trying to maintain lifestyles they realistically couldn’t afford. Everybody wanted the image of success without fully understanding the

long-term financial cost attached to it.

It’s a trap. And Gen X walked right into it.

If you’re serious about retiring with dignity, you have to stop funding the lifestyle and start funding the future. That means making intentional, sometimes uncomfortable decisions about what you drive, where you live, what you wear, and how you spend your weekends. Retirement isn’t free. Somebody has to pay for it—and that somebody is you.

That’s not flashy advice, but it’s real.

Because retirement isn’t funded by appearances. It’s funded by preparation.

Gen Xers are now entering what financial experts call the “retirement red zone”—the years where your financial decisions matter more than ever. At this stage of life, you don’t have the luxury of wasting another decade financially drifting without a plan.

That’s why finding your financial grip matters now more than ever.

Finding your financial grip means facing reality honestly. It means understanding exactly where your money is going, how much debt you have, what your retirement accounts look like, and whether your current lifestyle is helpSEE DAMON CARR B2

Is refinancing your mortgage right for you?

REFINANCING FROM B1

What are my refinancing options and how do I choose the right one?

Let’s break down a few commonly offered types of refinancing: Rate-and-term refinance: This option allows you to replace your current loan with a new one with a different interest rate, different term or both. The primary aim is to secure terms that better suit your current financial situation, while the principal balance remains the same.

Cash-out refinance: A cash-out refinance allows you to

replace your existing mortgage with a new loan for more than you currently owe, leveraging equity you’ve built up in your home. This type of mortgage refinance might be more suited for those who need funds for significant expenses, such as home renovations or debt consolidation.

No closing cost refinance: A no closing cost refinance allows borrowers to refinance without paying the upfront fees usually required.

The lender may charge a slightly higher interest rate or fold the closing costs into the total loan amount.

Understanding your current financial goals and needs can help you decide which option works best.

The bottom line Refinancing can be a smart financial move for many people. You may be able to save money in the long term, and you also have options to take cash out if that’s what would support your goals.

A qualified mortgage professional or home lending advisor can help clarify whether a mortgage refinance makes sense for you and ensure you’re on the right path to achieving your financial goals.

Property is Power! The missing conversation in Black America PROPERTY IS POWER FROM B1

professionals who view mobility and flexibility as modern virtues. But this framing misunderstands what a home actually represents in the American economic system.

A home is not simply a place to live. It is often the first balance sheet a family ever owns. It is forced savings. It is leverage against inflation. It is a hedge against rising rents. It is collateral for future investment. It is frequently the single largest appreciating asset a middle-class family will ever possess, and importantly ownership changes psychology.

Renters think month to month because renting is transactional. Owners think decade to decade because ownership forces long-term thinking. Communities stabilize when people own. Schools improve when people own.

Crime often declines when people own. Political engagement rises when people own because ownership creates attachment and accountability.

Property turns residents into stakeholders.

This is why the conversation around Black homeownership cannot merely be framed as symbolic progress. It must be framed as economic infrastructure. For decades, many Black neighborhoods suffered from deliberate disinvestment, predatory lending, redlining, undervaluation, highway placement, and appraisal disparities that stripped billions of dollars in potential equity from Black families.

These realities are well documented and still reverberate today. But acknowledging systemic barriers and developing a sophisticated ownership

mindset are not mutually exclusive; in fact, they must co-exist. A wealth mindset understands systems without becoming psychologically imprisoned by them.

There is a profound difference between recognizing structural inequities and internalizing powerlessness. One produces strategy, the other produces stagnation.

What Black America now requires is not simply more consumers with higher incomes, but more owners with long-term vision.

We need more Black families purchasing duplexes instead of only luxury vehicles. More professionals acquiring mixed-use commercial buildings before chasing image-driven consumption. More parents teaching children about equity before teaching them about status. More conversations at dinner tables about debt-to-income ratios, tax assessments, zoning, interest rates, cash flow, estate planning, and land acquisition. Because while culture often celebrates visible wealth, actual wealth is frequently quiet.

The investor who owns 12 rental units may not look richer than the executive driving a leased “sedan,” but over 20 years, one is accumulating ap-

preciating assets while the other is often accumulating depreciating liabilities. One is building equity; the other is maintaining appearance.

This distinction is especially critical within the Black community, where social pressure to display success can become economically corrosive. In many affluent Black circles, visible achievement is rewarded culturally faster than invisible ownership. Yet historically, every enduring ethnic and economic community in America, from immigrant merchant families to old-money suburbs, understood that ownership must come before optics—land first, lifestyle second, and there is another dimension often overlooked—community control.

When Black people do not own property in their own communities, we lose more than wealth. We lose influence over development, business ecosystems, school boundaries, political priorities, and neighborhood identity. Gentrification is not merely about demographics; it is about ownership transfer. The communities that determine the future of a neighborhood are usually the communities that own the underlying assets. Ownership determines who

benefits from appreciation. That is why buying property should not be viewed solely through an individual lens; it is also civic participation; it is community preservation; it is economic voting power.

The challenge ahead is cultural as much as financial. We must elevate the language of ownership inside Black spaces with the same seriousness that we elevate conversations around education, representation, and professional advancement.

Degrees matter. Representation matters. Corporate success matters.

But ownership translates achievement into permanence, and permanence matters because history has shown how quickly progress can evaporate when it is not anchored to assets. The future Black wealth gap will not primarily be determined by who earns the highest salaries. It will be determined by who acquires appreciating assets in strategic markets, who passes those assets down effectively, and who understands that real estate is not merely about houses, it is about control, leverage, inheritance, and choices.

This is not about romanticizing property ownership or pretending every real estate decision

is wise. Markets fluctuate, bad investments exist, predatory actors remain real. But despite every market cycle, one principle has remained remarkably consistent throughout American history—ownership changes outcomes.

The Black families who will shape the next generation economically will likely not be those who merely participated in the economy as consumers. They will be those who positioned themselves as owners within it. Because ultimately, property is not just power in the financial sense.

It is power in the civic sense, the psychological

sense, and the generational sense, and perhaps that is the deeper lesson Black America must fully reclaim. Ownership is not simply about acquiring wealth, it is about securing agency.

ing or hurting your future.

Too many people avoid looking at the numbers because the numbers make them uncomfortable.

But avoiding the truth never improves the truth. You need clarity. You need strategy. And you need urgency.

Hope is not a retirement plan.

One of the smartest moves Gen Xers can make right now is maximizing catch-up retirement contributions.

Once you hit age 50, the IRS allows you to contribute additional money into retirement accounts like 401(k)s and IRAs. These catch-up contributions were specifically designed for people who may have started late, experienced financial setbacks, or need to accelerate savings during their peak earning years.

If you’re over 50 and not taking advantage of catch-up contributions while still spending recklessly, you’re putting yourself in a dangerous financial position.

Every extra dollar invested now matters. Compound growth still works. Consistency still works. Discipline still works.

Gen X doesn’t have the same recovery timeline younger generations have. We’re in the

fourth quarter financially. The good news is the game isn’t over yet—but this is not the

time to play casually anymore.

That may mean increasing your retirement contributions

every time you receive a raise.

It may mean picking up additional income streams. It may mean paying off high-interest debt aggressively. It may mean delaying gratification for a few years to create long-term peace later.

Social Security alone isn’t enough. Imagine your income in retirement being approximately half your current monthly take home pay. That’s about what you can expect from Social Security when you retire.

Relying on Social Security as your sole or primary income source during retirement will require you to tighten your budget. Especially as inflation continues reducing purchasing power year after year.

Therefore you might as well tighten the budget now and create wiggle room in your budget so that you can save and invest aggressively for retirement. Retirement today requires proactive intentional planning. That’s why financial discipline matters more than financial flexing.

A lot of people spent years trying to look successful instead of becoming financially stable.

But eventually the bill comes due. And retirement has a way of exposing every financial decision we made—both good and bad.

Still, this is not a hopeless conversation. Gen X still has time to improve the outcome.

But improvement requires action. Not excuses. Not denial.

Not procrastination. Action!

Cut the financial dead weight.

Reduce lifestyle inflation.

Increase retirement contributions. Build additional income.

Make smarter decisions. Protect your future.

Because there is nothing glamorous about entering your senior years financially stressed and forced to work simply because you never prepared properly.

Financial freedom in our retirement years isn’t about impressing strangers. It’s about having options. It’s about dignity. It’s about peace. It’s about freedom.

And the people who usually achieve it aren’t always the loudest people online. They’re the disciplined people quietly making smart financial moves while everybody else is busy chasing appearances, likes, shares and compliments.

Doing nothing won’t help!

Guest Editorial As midterms approach, African Americans must understand the major value in voting In its alleged “infinite wisdom,” the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) appears to have once again sided with those who are bound and determined to “make America White again.”

That’s the only logical conclusion we can muster as we assess the rationale behind the recent SCOTUS ruling that severely weakened Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. The decision makes it harder to challenge racially gerrymandered maps. What’s more, it will undoubtedly provide smooth sailing for states, while exercising their newly enhanced redistricting power, to create maps that dilute minority voting strength.

The decision comes at a critical time as the 2026 midterm election approaches, not to mention the general election two years from now.

With the GOP supported by a Supreme Court that has clearly lost its way and the reason it was even created, the clock continues to move in reverse.

So, what are some options? Advocacy groups say citizens must flood the phones, offices, and email inboxes of local House and Senate officials, calling for Congress to pass the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to strengthen voting protections at the federal level.

The Black community is well beyond the point of standing by idly with hopes that things will get better. It’s clear that they will not, unless we demand it.

African Americans built this country. African Americans died in service to their enslavers.

African Americans have fought bravely in all 12 of America’s military contests, even dying in the defense of democracy abroad.

African Americans deserve a lot more.

But if the Black community and all people don’t stand up and get involved, African Americans are going to get even less.

So, in November, make sure you vote.

Vote like your life, your children’s lives, and the lives of those yet unborn, depend on it. Because, well, they do!

(TriceEdneyWire.com)—So much is happening in our nation that people don’t know what to do. Unfortunately, although we are seeing behavior from those elected and appointed to serve the people, more people have begun to think there is nothing they can do, but that is a position that will encourage more difficulties for everybody.

When everything we think of seems to be going wrong, the person responsible for our well-being was off gallivanting in China. He took his Secretary of Defense (or War, as Hegseth calls it) and Secretary of State in the middle of an unsettled war that Trump started for no reason, and don’t forget, he took along many of his wealthy male friends presumably to find business with which they will return to the country and provide Trump with his share. As he left the country, he made it clear he doesn’t care about those of us he left behind.

He did let us know, in addition to the many tax dollars he has already spent killing little schoolgirls and numerous other Iranians under the pretense of making life better, but for whom I’m not sure!

There are still a few people like Louisiana’s non-Black elected officials who still swear by him and believe a calvary is on the way to take care of them. Despite the millions and billions Trump is shamefully taking from the poor so he can live in

Commentary the people’s house—known as The White House—bragging about his multi-million dollar ballroom that he promised would be totally paid for by his friends. I guess some of those friends didn’t give up what they promised because lately, he’s asking you, me and other taxpayers for a few million dollars! It doesn’t look like he returned to the United States from China with a sack full of money! I don’t think China’s President can be bullied! Isn’t it sweet that Eric, his son and wife, went to China with his Dad because he “loves him so much!

Last summer, Donald Trump and Republicans cut over $1 trillion from healthcare. Now they want to cut even more of our healthcare to pay for Trump’s endless war in Iran. Instead of spending money on war, we need to be investing here at home. Despite his taking from the poor and giving to the rich, his memory seems to fail him about the satisfactory health plan called “Obama Care” the people had when President Obama left us after his term as the BEST PRESI-

DENT EVER! The person who lives in our White House now also missed the fact that President Obama also had a working agreement with the Iranians regarding nuclear weapons, but Trump did away with that, and as the super deal-maker thought he could do better, but we see how that has worked out and how much of our tax dollars the dealmaker has spent causing everything we have to go up!

We don’t know about the wars he claimed he ended, but we know about the ones he started!

Now, my friends, don’t say there is nothing we can do or NOTHING WILL HELP! There is something!

We can continue protesting what Trump has gotten us into. We can DEFINITELY VOTE! The Pentagon claims the war has cost $25 billion, but some economists say the cost could be as high as $1 TRILLION DOLLARS. You know where he wants to get it? FROM YOU! Trump should be using taxpayer money to fix problems he caused. We cannot afford to waste more money on endless wars.

We want leaders who improve our lives, and who bring down healthcare, food, housing and gasoline costs.

Have a serious talk with your elected officials and tell them what you want.

Include no more wars and no more corruption!

(Dr. E. Faye Williams, President of The Dick Gregory Society)

Pennsylvania needs teachers, but too many can’t afford to become one After more than four years of living independently, I was forced back into my childhood bedroom because the capstone of my teaching degree—student teaching—was unpaid. My days were a marathon: after the 4 p.m. dismissal bell rang at the elementary school, I rushed to a local daycare three times a week to work a 5 p.m. to midnight shift, pivoting from 1st grade lesson planning to changing diapers and supervising homework for infants through school-age youth.

Even with a schedule entirely dedicated to the care and education of children, I was constantly stretched thin, obsessively calculating whether I could afford gas, groceries, or professional attire. This daily exercise in exhaustion left me with a question that state policy must finally answer: What happens to the aspiring teacher who doesn’t have a parent’s safety net?

Pennsylvania is facing a teacher shortage crisis that can’t be ignored.

Over the past decade, the number of newly certified teachers in the commonwealth has dropped by roughly 75 percent. Today, there are more than 5,500 teacher vacancies statewide, and schools are increasingly relying on emergency certifications instead of fully prepared educators.

These shortages hit hardest in districts serving students of color, those living in poverty, and historically underfunded urban and rural communities.

When it comes to entering the profession, student teaching remains one of the biggest barriers. It is a fulltime, unpaid requirement layered on top of tuition costs, certification fees, and everyday living expenses. For many aspiring educators, especially first-generation college students, Black and Brown candidates, and

Commentary career-changers, this is the moment where passion collides with reality.

Pennsylvania’s Student Teacher Stipend Program already has proven that this financial roadblock is not inevitable, providing stipends to roughly 2,100 student teachers in the 2024-25 school year. These funds shifted the focus from late-night shifts and rent and grocery anxiety to instruction and professional growth. However, with more than 4,000 applicants, demand continues to far outpace available supply. While Governor Shapiro’s proposed budget increase to $35 million is a vital first step forward, it remains insufficient to meet the total need. Pennsylvania must rally behind Governor Shapiro’s proposal and fully fund the Student Teacher Support Program with a $50–55 million investment, ensuring every eligible student teacher receives the support they deserve in a profession we simply cannot afford to lose.

As a Black educator, this issue is deeply personal. Black teachers make up only about 7 percent of Pennsylvania’s educator workforce. Research consistently shows that students benefit academically and socially from having teachers who reflect their identities and lived experiences. If the financial pressure of student teaching had forced me to walk away, Pennsylvania might have lost one more Black educator before I ever had the chance to lead my own classroom. I teach in a predominantly Black school, where I

am one of the first Black teachers my students have had. In my classroom, I don’t just focus on reading and writing. I celebrate my learners’ victories, big and small, reminding them daily that their voices must be heard, their stories matter, and their horizons are limitless.

Beyond financial support, we need to know where the gaps are greatest.

To address these needs, the Pennsylvania Department of Education should publish comprehensive educator workforce data dashboards that track certification trends, shortages, and diversity across the state. If we had a public educator workforce dashboard when I was applying for my student teaching placement or my first teaching position, I would have been able to clearly see which districts were experiencing the greatest need and where my skills as a culturally responsive educator were most needed. Accessible data is not just helpful, it is necessary to ensure we are making informed, equitable decisions about how we recruit, support, and retain diverse educators across Pennsylvania.

To aspiring educators, especially Black educators, who are struggling to make ends meet: I see you. You are not alone. Our scholars, our classrooms, and our future need you.

The choice before us is simple.

If paying student teachers means one more committed, qualified, and diverse educator in our schools, then the real question is not whether we can afford to do it but why wouldn’t we?

Brown’s unfinished promise (TriceEdneyWire.com)—Seventy-one years ago, the Supreme Court issued its ruling in Brown v. Board of Education, declaring that separate educational facilities are inherently unequal.

For generations of Black families, Brown represented more than a legal decision. It represented aspiration, validation, and possibility. It affirmed a simple but transformative principle: Black children deserved access to the full promise of American education.

That promise remains unfinished.

This year, Brown Day arrived during a season of commencements and reflection. On May 16, 2026, Bennett College celebrated its centennial commencement, honoring one hundred years of Black women pursuing excellence against extraordinary odds.

As Bennett’s 15th president from 2007 to 2012, I was especially honored to return for the centennial celebration and witness another generation of Black women stepping boldly into their futures.

To stand on Bennett’s campus was to witness the power of educational persistence—generations of women who insisted on learning, leadership, and achievement even when the nation offered them unequal schools, unequal resources, and unequal expectations.

That history matters because we are once again debating the meaning and purpose of education in America.

We hear constant alarm about declining test scores, learning loss, teacher shortages, and struggling schools. But too often these conversa-

Julianne Malveaux

Commentary tions avoid the deeper question: who actually receives a quality education in America, and who does not?

Brown rested on a radical premise for its time—that Black children deserved the same educational investment as White children. Not leftover resources. Not overcrowded classrooms. Not crumbling facilities.

Not diminished expectations. Equal opportunity.

Yet decades later, educational inequality remains deeply embedded in American life. School districts are still shaped by segregated housing patterns and unequal tax bases. Schools serving Black students are more likely to experience staffing shortages, aging facilities, fewer advanced courses, and harsher disciplinary systems.

And here lies the contradiction.

Many of the same political voices lamenting declining educational outcomes are simultaneously attacking the institutions that help students learn. They denounce falling test scores while censoring history, restricting honest conversations about race, undermining teachers, weakening diversity initiatives, and reducing educational resources for students who

need them most. The ongoing weakening of the Department of Education sends a chilling message about national priorities.

We cannot claim to value excellence while starving the conditions that make excellence possible.

Declining scores do not emerge in isolation. Hunger affects learning.

Housing instability affects learning.

Underfunded schools affect learning.

Poverty and inequality affect learning.

Educational outcomes reflect the conditions under which children live.

This is why HBCUs remain so important. Institutions like Bennett continue to nurture Black intellect, cultivate leadership, and affirm Black humanity, often while operating with fewer resources than predominantly White institutions. They remain places where students are encouraged not simply to survive, but to excel.

Many HBCU graduations also occur near Mother’s Day, and that connection should not be overlooked. Behind countless graduates stands a mother or grandmother who stretched limited resources, worked exhausting hours, deferred her own dreams, and insisted that education mattered. Black educational achievement has always been sustained not only by institutions, but also by sacrifice.

Brown opened doors. America has yet to decide whether it is truly committed to what lies beyond them: equal opportunity, equal investment, and equal possibility.

FORUM

MAY 20-26, 2026

American robber barons still exist (TriceEdneyWire.com)—What we are seeing in America today is something that Black people haven’t experienced in a very long time— citizenship with no workable Voting Rights Act in place. Immediately after the Supreme Court’s recent Louisiana v. Callais ruling, five southern states wasted little time in redrawing new congressional voting maps that would eventually wipe out Black-majority districts in their states. We can’t place all of the blame for the dilution of Black and Latino voting power through election manipulation at the feet of this one Supreme Court decision. Last July, President Trump ordered Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to redistrict his state to create an additional five Republican-leaning congressional districts.

The president intends to maintain political power and control by circumventing the will of voters by eliminating fair congressional districting through partisan and racial gerrymandering. To have this type of president make this type of order and then have a state governor carry it out is disturbing. As a result, we have a “redistricting arms race.” This is what happens when America elects a robber baron as president. A robber baron is a term used to describe powerful 19th-century American industrialists and financiers who amassed enormous wealth through unethical and controlling practices.

Their key tactics included (exploiting workers), maintaining wealth by paying extremely low wages and providing poor working conditions, (monopolies) formed “trusts” to control entire industries, allowing illegal or aggressive means to dictate prices and eliminate competitors, (political corruption) influencing government officials through lobbying or outright bribery to secure favorable land grants and subsidies.

David W. Marshall

Commentary Critics often focused on their greed and the unethical methods by which they created human suffering and extreme economic disparity between the very wealthy and the poor. In the late 19th century, the top 1 percent owned roughly 51 percent of property while the bottom 44 percent owned only 1.1 percent.

These robber barons included John D. Rockefeller (Standard Oil), Andrew Carnegie (Carnegie Steel), Cornelius Vanderbilt (Railroads and shipping), and J.P. Morgan (finance & banking).

Oil magnate John D. Rockefeller, when asked by a reporter how much money he needed to finally have enough, said, “Just a bit more.”

Rockefeller was America’s first billionaire and was forced by the government to dissolve his monopoly. Cornelius Vanderbilt was known for ruthlessly eliminating competition in transportation. Jay Gould was one of the worst robber barons. He was an American railroad magnate who founded the Gould business dynasty. Historians single out Jay Gould not because of his wealth, but because he repeatedly used deception, manipulation, and political corruption to extract wealth from others rather than create it through integrity.

Gould’s pattern was to rig markets, water stock, bribe officials, and crush labor, leaving investors and workers ruined while he walked away richer. Many Gilded Age tycoons were ruthless, but also associated themselves with major productive achievements or philanthropy. Gould, on the other hand, was notorious for enriching himself through schemes that even contemporaries called socially destructive. He was infamous for how he treated workers, reinforcing his image as morally callous. During labor conflicts in the 1880s, Gould was quoted as saying he could “hire one half of the working class to kill the other half,” a line that captured how many Americans saw his willingness to set groups of workers against each other. In the Gilded Age, many industrialists were harsh employers, but Gould’s open contempt for labor and use of violence and division made him stand out. Even during his life, Gould “considered himself to be the most hated man in late-19th-century America,” and contemporary press, clergy, and politicians depicted him as the very embodiment of greed. In short, Gould is cited as one of the most unscrupulous and worst robber barons because of his large-scale and corrupt political influence, his willingness to destabilize the national economy for profit, and his aggressive, often brutal opposition to labor.

What we have today in the White House is a modern-day Jay Gould in President Donald Trump, who entered his second term in office using robber baron tactics to govern. The way observers saw Jay Gould deliberately run companies into the ground and then rebuild them in ways that benefited him is the same tactic Trump is doing with the federal government.

The unfair advantage of congressional representation gained through unethical racial and political gerrymandering parallels the monopoly tactics of the 19th-century robber barons.

Robber barons never totally went away. We have them in modern tech moguls such as Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg.

We simply never had one as president. Even King Charles III has noticed a different and alarming America under the current administration. Speaking before a rare joint meeting of Congress, he gave a subtle warning regarding the need to uphold democratic traditions, specifically highlighting the importance of checks and balances on executive power. It has been a while since Black America has experienced a Jay Gould-type robber baron as president, particularly one whose goal is to ruthlessly destroy Black political power and prosperity.

NEW PITTSBURGH COURIER

SCOTUS Voting Rights Act decisions: Are we going back?

The U.S. Supreme Court’s recent 6-3 decision in Louisiana v. Callais struck down the state’s latest redrawn congressional map, which produced two majority-Black districts. The court determined that the revised map “relied too heavily on race,” creating an “unconstitutional racial gerrymander.”

After the ruling, two headlines arose.

1). “We’re going back”: Five civil rights activists slam the Supreme Court’s gutting of the Voting Rights Act. 2). “We’re not going back”: MLK’s speechwriter rejects fears after the Voting Rights Act decision.

The headlines conflict. This usually indicates that one is inaccurate, but in this case, both are valid since the phrase “going back” in each headline refers to different notions. That distinction will be addressed later.

In his majority decision, Justice Samuel Alito noted that the Constitution “almost never permits a state to discriminate on the basis of race.”

Racial discrimination takes two forms: negative and positive. Negative discrimination occurs when a group is excluded because of their race, and positive discrimination occurs when a group is permitted because of their race. Justice Alito contends that the Constitution forbids both types of racial discrimination.

Following the Civil War, Black men were granted the right to vote by the Fifteenth Amendment (1870).

It prohibited the federal and state governments from denying citizens the right to vote because of their race, color, or past condition of slavery, but White politicians in former Confederate states created Jim Crow laws to circumvent the Fifteenth Amendment and keep Blacks disenfranchised.

Because most Blacks were poor and couldn’t read at the time, Whites devised poll taxes and literacy tests to prevent them from voting.

Poor and illiterate Whites had ways around these obstacles.

The grandfather clause said that poor Whites could vote if their father or grandfather had voted before 1867.

This lets them avoid the poll tax.

Election officials also read to illiterate Whites, and if they demonstrated their understanding of the reading, they were allowed to vote.

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 sought to enforce the Fifteenth Amendment’s

J. Pharoah Doss

Check It Out prohibition on racial discrimination in voting by abolishing literacy tests, poll taxes, and other barriers that were clearly designed to keep Blacks from voting.

It’s vital to understand that the Voting Rights Act of 1965 had both permanent and temporary provisions.

The architects of the Voting Rights Act expected racial progress over time and set expiration dates for specific provisions. The idea was that racial progress would ultimately render certain provisions obsolete; nevertheless, if intentional racial discrimination in voting was found to persist, Congress may extend the provisions that were about to expire. Strategically, civil rights activists denied racial progress and promoted ongoing racial discrimination to prompt Congress to extend the temporary provisions.

By the 1980s, Black activists were no longer concerned with achieving equal access to the ballot box. Their goal switched from access to representation, i.e., Black political power. Black activists argued that at-large voting systems or gerrymandered districts diluted the Black vote, making it too difficult for them to elect their preferred candidates. (At-large voting occurs when officials are elected by every voter across an entire jurisdiction rather than by voters in one smaller geographic area.)

In 1980, Black residents of Mobile, Alabama, filed a lawsuit alleging that the city’s at-large voting system systematically diluted their votes in violation of the Voting Rights Act. However, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against the Black residents.

According to the Court, at-large voting systems that appear neutral are permitted by the Constitution, even if they reduce minority groups’ voting power; however, these systems are only illegal if it is demonstrated that they were designed with discriminatory intent.

Many lawmakers felt that requiring proof of intentional racial discrimina-

tion made it too difficult to challenge voting systems.

In response to the Supreme Court ruling against Black residents in Mobile, Alabama, Congress amended the Voting Rights Act in 1982, changing the legal standard so that it was no longer necessary to prove discriminatory intent; all that was required was disparate impact, which occurs when a neutral policy or practice disproportionately harms a “protected group,” regardless of intent. The change in legal standards for proving discrimination resulted in the creation of majority-Black districts. Congress saw the change as necessary to “correct historical exclusion from political representation” and to ensure “equal opportunity under the law.”

In the Supreme Court’s recent decision, Justice Alito stated that racial disparities in voting are no longer a major issue, claiming that the Voting Rights Act has largely accomplished its purpose and that vast societal change has occurred in the South.

When Alito argued that the Voting Rights Act achieved its objective, he was alluding to the “disparate impact” legal requirement, which was added to the Voting Rights Act in 1982 to redress historical exclusion from political representation. The recent decision reverted the legal threshold to its 1965 origins, requiring proof of discriminatory intent before race could be used to create districts.

Now to the main question: Are we going back?

For the civil rights activists in the first headline, the answer is yes, because they prefer the legal standard set in 1982 to the one established in 1965.

But does this reversal indicate that the Voting Rights Act has been gutted and we are returning to pre-1965 Jim Crow laws?

MLK’s speechwriter in the second headline was correct when he said no.

When the Supreme Court gets the facts wrong, democracy pays the price (TriceEdneyWire.com)—“What Alito doesn’t mention is that since 2013, the racial turnout gap around the nation has exploded. It beggars belief that Alito was unaware of this fact.

He reached back nearly 20 years to include the only two elections in American history in which Black and White turnout reached parity. Surely, he or one of his clerks checked to see whether they could update the Shelby County argument that racism in American elections was over by using more recent data. But the data is unambiguous: Roberts’s assurances in Shelby County were spectacularly wrong.”— Kevin Morris, Brennan Center for Justice What happens when the highest court in the land issues a decision based on faulty reasoning or inaccurate data?

The shameful Plessy v Ferguson in 1896 decision obliterated 30 years of hard-fought progress toward racial equality under the law and thrust the nation into the dark and violent era of Jim Crow.

Last month’s decision in Louisiana v Callais, like 2013’s Shelby v Holder, is destined to live in infamy alongside Plessy. We cannot and must not waste a single moment—let alone 70 years, as we did with Plessy—to rectify the Court’s mistake.

The Court and Congress must acknowledge the Callais decision was based on misleading data and restore the provisions of the Voting Rights Act that it overturned.

The deluge of racially-motivated voter suppression laws that Shelby unleashed made a mockery of

Marc H. Morial

To Be Equal Chief Justice John Roberts’ claim that “current conditions” did not justify federal protection against discriminatory state voting laws. So, too, does the frenzy of states to enact racially gerrymandered frenzy congressional maps disprove the majority’s assumption that states would not exploit Callais to disguise discrimination as partisanship.

Even more egregiously, Justice Samuel Alito’s opinion relied on a false claim—“copied almost verbatim” from a Trump administration filing—that Black voter turnout had exceeded White voter turnout in two of the five most recent presidential elections.

As The Guardian’s investigation revealed, the administration’s false claim rested on a misleading voter turnout calculation: The administration calculated turnout using the entire adult population—including non‑citizens, disenfranchised individuals, and others ineligible to vote, which artificially inflates turnout figures—particularly for Black voters. The generally accepted standard for calculating voter turnout is the Voting‑Eligible Population (VEP). By the common standard, Black voter turnout in Louisiana has consistently

trailed White turnout in every election since at least 2012.

In fact, the racial turnout gap not only widened nationwide since Shelby, it grew twice as fast in counties previously covered by the preclearance requirement that Shelby overturned.

Instead of acknowledging the truth of the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s observation that “throwing out preclearance when it has worked … is like throwing away your umbrella in a rainstorm because you are not getting wet,” the majority blithely ignored the wreckage Shelby left in its wake and used its own willful delusion to justify even further destruction.

Constitutional law cannot rest on false facts. Hard won civil rights protections cannot be snatched away on the basis of manipulative sleightof-hand.

The Supreme Court itself has explicitly recognized that precedents resting on demonstrably false or fundamentally outdated factual assumptions warrant reconsideration or overruling. In his concurrence in Ramos v Louisiana, Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s wrote, “A precedent that is egregiously wrong…or based on a demonstrably false factual premise should not continue to bind the Court.”

The Supreme Court has the power to shape political power and voter representation for generations. Plessy, to the nation’s everlasting shame, grotesquely distorted that power. This generation has the opportunity—and the responsibility—to steer the nation back toward justice.
