EDITORIAL/OPINION Publisher’s Column
Dr. Gloria Zuurveen President, CEO, Founder and Publisher
Hello Readers, I pray that everyone will be safe this Labor Day Weekend. It is the last weekend of summer and young children are headed by to school everywhere so we must be vigilant about how we drive and how we move about in the street since there are going to be children crossing the crosswalks and getting back to the pattern of school days. I pray that we will continue to keep the Brown family in our prayer as we have yet to get the justice because there has not been a trial yet. We must not get weary in doing well. We must stand fast in Christ Jesus, for it is He who have set us free and if the Son set free we are free indeed. So we are to walk as a free people no long enslaved to the things of this world that are fading fast. So, again, let us be conscious how we treat one another and remember it is always appropriate to demonstrate love.

Residents of Ferguson Need to Make a Change By Raynard Jackson NNPA Columnist I’m Gonna Make A Change, For Once In My Life It’s Gonna Feel Real Good, Gonna Make A Difference Gonna Make It Right… I’m Starting With The Man In The Mirror I’m Asking Him To Change His Ways And No Message Could Have Been Any Clearer If You Wanna Make The World A Better Place Take A Look At Yourself, And Then Make A Change (from Michael Jackson’s hit song “Man in the Mirror”) This song is very appropriate for the situation going on in Ferguson, Mo. Regardless of what happens during all the legal wrangling, one thing is certain: the residents of Ferguson have had all the power they ever needed to make the change they have been seeking. And they haven’t used it. Some have argued that Ferguson is symbolic of “inner city America.” They argue that Ferguson is about racism, hopelessness, structural and systemic discrimination, and Blacks who feel helpless. Well, it’s kind of hard to make these arguments when Blacks are almost 70 percent of Ferguson’s population. According to the 2010 U.S. Census, there are 14,297 Blacks and 6,206 Whites; 22 percent live in poverty; the mayor is White; there is only one Black on a 6member city council (.096 percent); three Blacks out of 53 policemen (5.6 percent); and the St. Louis suburb is the sixth most segregated city in the U.S. As a native of St. Louis, I worked closely with my friend, Freeman R. Bosley, Jr. in his successful efforts to become the first Black Circuit Clerk for the 22nd Judicial Circuit in 1983 and the first Black mayor in 1993 (with 66 percent of the vote). Blacks were a majority of the city; so I thoroughly understand the power of the vote. Juxtapose this with the voting history of Ferguson. In this year’s elections, only 12.3 percent of eligible voters actually voted (17 percent White, 6 percent Black); 11.7 percent in 2013; and 8.9 percent in 2012. How can one argue that Blacks have no power? A more accurate statement is that Blacks have refused to ex-
ercise their power. You can’t blame that on the “White man” or “racism” or the “system.” In the Wizard of Oz, the Lion already had courage; the Tin man already had a heart, and the Scarecrow already had a brain; but they had all been so psychologically abused that they couldn’t see the power they already had. The Wizard just simply reminded them of what they already had. Upon the prompting from the Wizard, they then began to actually believe again in themselves and the power lying dormant inside of them. Many across the country are asking: What do the residents of Ferguson want? Thus far, their response has been “justice;” meaning they want the White policeman who killed Michael Brown, Darren Wilson, indicted, convicted, and sent to jail. Well, that is out the control of any one person. The facts of what happened must be established and then let the justice system function. The fact that Blacks have the power of the vote is undeniable. They have the power to control the political climate in Ferguson – that is no fairytale. The question is do they have the courage to look at the man in the mirror and make that change? Do they have the heart to change their apathetic approach to voting as a perpetual tribute to Michael Brown? Do they have the brains to understand the power dynamics of voting? Just like the Wizard did nothing to change the conditions of Dorothy and her friends, there is nothing America needs to do for Ferguson that they can’t do for themselves. They have everything they need. Maybe the death of Brown will be the reminder of what has been lying dormant in the residents of Ferguson all along. Maybe after all of the marches are over, they will be, as Fannie Lou Hamer put it, “sick and tired of being sick and tired.” Ferguson has non-partisan elections, meaning no votes are cast based on party affiliation, but vote for the individual. The residents of Ferguson need to begin to run – and vote for – candidates who can best represent their interests. The government can provide tax credits and other tax incentives for businesses to locate to Ferguson. Social service agencies can provide job training programs. And the federal government will even help provide much needed training of their police force. But in the end, Ferguson will have to look at the man – and the woman – in the mirror and make that change.

Built-in Obsolescence By James Clingman A series of recent reports cite the drastic lack of economic progress for Black people in general and Black men in particular. Freddie Allen, NNPA Washington Correspondent, wrote “Black men are no better off than they were more than 40 years ago, due to mass incarceration and job losses suffered during the Great Recession, according to a new report by researchers at the University of Chicago.” Sidney Dinan, writer for the Washington Times, in an article titled, All of the net jobs gained in the U.S. since 2000 have gone to immigrants, stated, “Nearly 6 million more people are working in the U.S. now than in 2000, but the number of native-born Americans holding jobs has declined slightly, from 114.8 million to 114.7 million, according to census figures…Instead, all of that job growth — a total of 5.7 million — has gone to immigrants.” One other example is an article titled, Economic justice eludes black Americans 50 years after MLK’s ‘dream,’ written by Gerald Britt. It disclosed, “The average unemployment rate during recession years over the past 50 years has been 6.7 percent. Yet for African-Americans during that time, the average has been 11.6 percent while for whites the rate has been 5.1 percent, at times falling as low as 3.1 percent. Only in 1969 did black unemployment dip below the national recession average to 6.4 percent. The report’s conclusion: Over the last 50 years, the black unemployment rate has been at a level typical for a recession or higher.” The above articles and more may cause one to rethink the notion of Black obsolescence, as Frederick Douglass and others down through the years have posited. Have we become obsolete? Based on the structural inequities that plague us, is it planned? Was it built-into the economic system? If so, how can we overcome it? My suggestion is coalescence. Other groups in this country, although unencumbered by the exploitation that Black people suffered, have enough sense to work together in support of one another to gain a reasonable level of economic empowerment. In other words, they believe in and practice coalescence. In light of what we have endured in this land of plenty, the wealth of which was produced by the free work of our hands, one would reasonably think that Black people, having the most to lose, would be working more on coalescence in order to stave off obsolescence.
Coalition-building rather than the HNIC model is the best way for Black people to make significant progress in this country, especially when it comes to economic empowerment. From the agricultural economy to the industrial and mass production economy, Black folks, in some cases, had it going on. Many individual Blacks did quite well with jobs and businesses in those areas. As we moved to the technology/information economy and now into the knowledgebased economy, the rules for survival have changed. “In 1970, Sidney Willhelm’s book, Who Needs the Negro? argued that with the rise of automation within a capitalist economic system, African-American workers were transformed from being exploited to becoming ‘useless’ from the viewpoint of those who controlled the economy and the automated productive processes emerging within it. Because of the racism of U.S. business interests, the workforce that automation would require could and would be largely white. Yes, business would continue to hire a number of blacks, but as much as the cloaked face of racism within companies would allow, black workers would become productively ‘unneeded.’ If black people disappeared tomorrow, Willhelm maintained, for capital they ‘would hardly be missed.’ The above statement was written by Gerald Coles, who went on to write, “Willhelm’s assessment is now truer than ever for both poor blacks and many whites who constitute part of the potential U.S. workforce within global capitalism. Since overseas labor is less costly, fewer U.S. workers are needed for the jobs that are and will be available in this country. Why spend money to provide U.S. poor children with adequate food, clothing, healthcare and other basics of life, along with the full funding needed to educate them? For business needs it would be a waste of money.” I believe it was Marcus Garvey who said, “All the shoes have been shined and all the cotton has been picked.” He went on to suggest that Black people were no longer needed by white folks, therefore, if we did not change our ways when it came to business development we would indeed become obsolete. Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, and Garvey spoke of a time when we would have to consider this question if we did not awaken from our deep sleep and refuse to be dependent upon the largess of others for our sustenance. We have two choices: Coalescence or obsolescence. Which one will we choose?

EDUCATION & COMMUNITY NEWS Carpools and School Buses: Tips for Arriving To School Safely and On Time (BPT) - Your children are getting older and with each new grade level they want more independence. You're OK with that, but you still get a little worried when you think about them getting to school safely each day. Whether they drive themselves, ride in a carpool or they take the bus, safety is paramount. Follow these safety precautions and you'll make sure your independent student is there and ready to focus on schoolwork each and every morning. Tips for traveling by car * Take your time. Leaving plenty of time to arrive at school ensures no one will be late. It also prevents the driver from speeding, or failing to look before chang-
ing lanes or pulling into an intersection. * Wear your seatbelt. This one's easy if you're driving the carpool - everyone buckles up. If your teen is driving alone however, make sure you stress the importance of seat belts. Research shows 17,000 people a year died in crashes, who could have been saved if they had worn a seat belt. No one wants to join that list. * Make sure the car is ready. Sometimes the weather conditions are less than optimal. That's why it's important to have your car ready for any weather. Rain-X Latitude Wiper Blades offer virtually streak-free visibility in rain, sleet or snow, assuring no matter what Mother Nature is doing outside, you or your teen will have clear visibility.
Career Colleges Play Key Role In Demand for Skilled Workers (BPT) - Education is not a one-size-fits-all system. Much like each public university has its own unique culture, so does each type of higher education institution. In addition, the goals of each student are not the same. Some students are fresh out of high school and looking forward to the social opportunities that a public university will give them, and they are not in a hurry to get their degree. Some are single parents, already
for employers and can positively impact the economy. Without question, education is one of the biggest factors with regard to economic advancement in today's society and career-focused schools play a vital role as one - of many - education options for students." If you're interested in a new career? Check out Westwood's degree programs. Demand for skilled labor plays a huge role in the economy. It
working full-time jobs, who just want to go back to school and quickly get a degree and get a better job. For these latter students, a four-year university may not be the right fit for their needs. Instead, career colleges really can be the way to go. Career colleges - What are the benefits? Many people are recognizing the importance of skills training in the workplace as it relates to their chances of a promotion and increase in pay, according to a recent article in Business News Daily. These people are turning to career colleges because they know they can quickly learn the skills they are lacking and start moving up the professional ladder through the programs offered. According to Westwood College - Dupage Campus President Jeff Hill, career colleges "are focused on providing students with hands-on learning and quick degree completion which help develop a trained workforce
is not uncommon for employers to have available jobs, but not enough trained workers to fill them. Many employers discuss their plans to grow their companies and hire more people, but aren't sure where they will find workers with the skills they need, according to a recent article published by the Newark Advocate. It's not a problem just for businesses in Newark, New Jersey. Companies across the country face this issue. Many businesses looking to expand or move struggle to do so because it can be difficult to find a town or city with enough skilled workers to do the jobs. The U.S. Department of Labor predicts those jobs that tend to require some form of higher education will grow faster than those you can get with just a high school diploma or less. The department also predicts a shortage of more than 35 million skilled workers over the next 30 years.
And to keep the rain from collecting on your windshield in the first place, use Rain-X 2in-1 Glass Cleaner with Rain Repellent. It automatically repels rain, sleet and snow, improving your wet weather visibility. Better visibility means better response time. In tests conducted by a major university, response time improved up to a full second or more. At highway speeds, that is almost four car lengths of extra stopping distance. * Don't drive distracted. Focus on something other than the road and you or your teen risks causing an accident. When operating a motor vehicle, there's no place for cellphones, tablets, eating or anything else that might shift focus away from the
road. It all can wait until you or your teen reach the destination. How to keep the bus ride safe and simple * Head out early. Make sure your kids give themselves plenty of time to get to the bus stop in the morning. Rushing to the stop can lead to accidents, especially if kids must cross a street or two. * Help the driver. Children should stay 10 giant steps away did this recommendation come from the bus as it pulls up to the stop. This will enable the driver to see them and prevent accidents. * Dress appropriately. Wearing a hood at the bus stop makes it more difficult for children to see or hear the
traffic around them. Ask your child to keep his or her hood down until they get on the bus. * Wait their turn. Children who run toward the bus as it is pulling into the stop risk falling under or in front of the bus. Instead kids should wait for the bus to come to a complete stop and open its door before walking slowly - to get on. A new school year means more responsibility for your child. Whether that responsibility includes getting on the bus by themselves or driving their own car to school, following the proper safety procedures will ensure everyone arrives safely and ready to learn.

CHURCH & COMMUNITY NEWS Mississippi School District Stops Prayers After Atheists' Threaten to Sue By Michael Gryboski A Mississippi school district has agreed to stop having prayers and sermons at mandatory faculty convocations after an atheist group threatened to sue them. The Washington, D.C.-based American Humanist Association announced that the Jackson Public School District had agreed to stop the religious practices. JoAnne N. Shepherd, district counsel for the Jackson Public School District, responded to AHA via email that the convocation was meant to be "an inspirational and motivational event for employees returning to start the new school year." "However, please be advised that in the future, the district will ask its convocation speakers to refrain from religious activity," wrote Shepherd on Wednesday. "Additionally, the convocation committee will follow federal and state law with regards to religious activity when planning future convocations." Monica Miller, attorney with the AHA's Appignani Humanist Legal Center, said in a statement released Thursday that her organization was "very pleased" with the decision. "We're very pleased

that the school district has promptly responded to this issue and has made assurances that future schoolsponsored assemblies will comply with the Establishment Clause," said Miller. AHA's lawsuit threat came in response to a mandatory teacher convocation held by JPSD earlier this month. Teachers present heard a Christian pastor deliver a prayer, as well as other speakers frequently invoke "God" and "the Lord" during their remarks. AHA learned of the convocation courtesy an unnamed attendee, who described the approximately three-hour event as a "church service." Miller of the AHA
Cicely Tyson To Receive Legacy Award at 17th Annual LA Focus First Ladies High Tea (Continued from page 1) celebrities to be honored include actress Gugu MbathaRaw (best known for her role in “Belle”), who will receive the Spirit Award, actress Alley Mills of The Bold and the Beautiful, receiving the Shining Star Award and music executive Vicki Mack Lataillade, who will receive the Focus Award. Grammy winning recording artist Smokie Norful and Grammy-nominated artist, Tata Vega are the featured performers. “’The First Ladies High Tea’ was conceived in 1997 to celebrate and embrace the role first ladies and women in the church play in providing services to the community and shaping the lives of young girls and youth,” explains Publisher Lisa Collins. “So often the work that they do goes overlooked and we wanted to change that and provide a forum to recognize them for all that they do and all that they are to us.”
Other notable presenters and speakers include County Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas, US Representative Karen Bass, Assembly member Curren Price, Senator Holly Mitchell and others. The event will honor women and First Ladies who have served the communities well, through their activism and charitable contributions. The First Lady Honorees include: Myesha Chaney; Antioch Church of Long Beach, Isabelle Drake, Greater Ebenezer Baptist Church and Debra Williams, McCoy Memorial Baptist Church. This year’s essay theme, “The Power of Choice,” received sponsored submissions by young women ages 15 to 18. The Grand Prize winner will officially be announced and presented with the $1500 cash prize. The Afternoon Tea event will host 1000 plus attendees and will serve a traditional Afternoon Tea Menu.
Legal Center wrote a letter to JPSD on Monday denouncing the religious tone of the compulsory event. "This letter serves as
an official notice of the unconstitutional activity and demands that the School District terminate this and any similar illegal activity immediately," wrote Miller of AHA. "To avoid legal action, we kindly ask that you notify us in writing within two weeks of receipt of this letter setting forth the steps you will take to rectify this constitutional infringement." Some took to the defense of JPSD, including attorney Steve Crampton of the American Center for Constitutional Rights. Crampton explained to the online publication One News Now that "hurt feelings" are insufficient to "constitute a constitutional injury."
"And that would be one of the first and most important arguments raised in defense in any legal action that might fall out from this situation," argued Crampton. "I hope that the community will stand up and this school board will stand up against this kind of intimidation tactic." Regarding JPSD's response, AHA Executive Director Roy Speckhardt stated that the decision was a matter of respecting others. "By upholding the separation of church and state, the school district is respecting the rights of teachers of minority faiths, as well as the rights of teachers who do not profess any faith," said Speckhardt.

HEALTH & COMMUNITY NEWS Taking Responsibility for Your Health: Ask for Yourself, Do It (BPT) - Every day you sit around the dinner table with your loved ones and ask about their lives−"How was your day? What's new at work? Do you have any plans for this weekend?" But how often do you ask the truly important questions, like−"Are you taking care of your health?" Talking to family members about their health can be a challenge. But the truth is that a simple conversation could help encourage your loved ones to take responsibility for their health. "Not long ago, I learned that certain factors−like being African American, having a family history of diabetes, or being over the age of 45−can put you at a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes," says Justine Simmons. "All of these
factors apply to my husband, Rev Run, and to me, so when I found out we could be at risk−I knew I had to speak up." Justine Simmons and Rev Run decided to take responsibility for their health and be screened for diabetes by their doctors. Although they do not have the disease, they found out that they are among millions of Americans who are at risk of the disease. Knowing this, Justine and Rev Run couldn't just stand back and do nothing. So, they decided to make healthy lifestyle changes as a family. "Now, we walk around the park in our neighborhood everyday and make healthy dinner choices. We also talk with our kids about their risks of diabetes," says Justine. "If we do nothing, our family's history
Inflammatory By Dean L. Jones, CPM Heart disease and cancer are medically considered deadly manifestations from prolonged inflammation in the body. Prolonged inflammation, commonly referred to as chronic inflammation is routinely attributed to practicing a poor diet, or better stated it can be modified by choosing healthier foods to eat. Mainly due to the fact that with every bite we take, we are either balancing the anti- and pro-inflammatory compounds in the body, or tipping the scale to one end. The number one proinflammatory disease maker is processed sugar, making it the worse agent we can choose to eat. Eating too much sugar causes inflammation and chronic diseases such as metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes, not to mention tooth decay, and the increased risks of obesity. It has also been linked as one of the major causes of acne. Everyone realizes that processed sugar-sweetened soft drinks, fruit drinks and punches are some of the major sources of foodstuff containing sugars. Other obvious processed sugar-loaded foods consist of pastries, desserts, candies and packaged snacks. When reading the ingredients listed on labels be sugar alert that processed sugar has many names; corn syrup, dextrose, fructose, golden syrup, maltose, sorghum syrup and sucrose are some of the creative names. The General Mills Corporation has boosted up its advertising by hiring two different black music artists to promote their Honey Nut Cheerios™ packaged cereal. In 2013, the Honey Nut mascot 'Buzz' was given a swag makeover by Nelly. Just recently, 'Buzz' joined Usher in a new Ad campaign dancing to encourage families to 'Bee' happy and healthy together. The reason for mentioning this is to raise the question if these artist are aware of the harmful amount processed sugar contained in this one product. Particularly, if you eat it regularly you are pushing inflam-

The Honey Nut Cheerios™ ingredients are listed as Whole Grain Oat, Sugar, Oat Bran, Corn Starch, Honey, Brown Sugar Syrup, Salt, Tripotassium Phosphate, Rice Bran and/or Canola Oil, Natural Almond Flavor. The second and sixth ingredients are processed sugar amounting to 9.6 grams per 3/4 cup serving. The 9.6 grams is the equivalent of having over two teaspoons of sugar. The worst part, rarely does anyone ever eat just 3/4 cup, where it is not uncommon to have 2 or 3 cups at one serving, or as much as 7-8 teaspoons of processed sugar. The American Heart Association recommends men have no more than 150 calories of processed sugar per day, or about 9 teaspoons, and for women no more than 100 calories per day, or 6 teaspoons of processed sugar. So, it is not good to eat too much of packaged cereals with high sugar grams. One box of Honey Nut Cheerios™ is 17 servings that equals out to over 34 teaspoons of processed sugar. The slogan should sing 'Bee' SugarAlert! www.SugarAlert.com Dean Jones, Ethics Advocate, Southland Partnership Corporation (a public benefit organization), contributes his view on health attributes derived from processed foodstuff items.
could impact our family's future. And our children are too important to us for that." Justine Simmons is urging you−if you think you or a loved one might be at risk of diabetes, take action today. To help you, Justine and Rev Run teamed up with Novo Nordisk
on Ask.Screen.Know.−a national education program that challenges Americans aged 45 or older to find out about type 2 diabetes risk factors−to provide you with the tools and resources to talk to your family and your doctor. Visit AskScreenKnow.com, take the
Diabetes Risk Factor Assessment today, and ask your loved ones to do the same. Remember, it's important for your family to know that they don't have to do it alone. Here are some of Justine's favorite tips to help keep your conversation fun and interesting, and make sure you all get the most out of it: * Make it healthy−and delicious! Try cooking some new, healthy dishes to enjoy while you talk. Not only will it show your family that eating healthy foods can be delicious, but it's also a great way to bring up the conversation about healthy living * Stay on track If your family is like Justine's, conversations can change every 5 minutes at the dinner table. Keep everyone on track by gently reminding them why you are there. Share stories or memories about family and health that lead back to the conversation * Take steps together There's no better time than the present, so ask your family to pull out their smart phones and take the Diabetes Risk Factor Assessment while you're together. After you talk, it's also a great idea to ask everyone to join you for a walk. This shows how you can all support each other in living healthy lifestyles−just like the Simmons family does Just remember, if you didn't care, you wouldn't be having the conversation, and its okay to explain that to your family. You are all in this together and when it comes to health, a quick conversation now could help you and your family live a healthy lifestyle together for generations to come.

LOCAL NEWS West Angeles CDC Holds Parklane Apartment Tenant Appreciation Day (Continued from page 1) “WACDC is proud to serve hundreds of families all across South LA and today we’re just saying thank you to our great residents of West Angeles Parklane Apartments.” “We’ve got a summer event here today and we have food, we have music and resources too because we want to make sure our families know that we support them not just in where they live but how they live.” Thrash said, “We are just please to be able to do this on behalf of Bishop Charles E. Blake and the entire West Angeles family.” The Parklane Apartment is located at 4600 Martin Luther King Blvd. in Los Angeles and it is managed by Salori Enterprises, a full service property management organization specializing in multifamily affordable housing. Anthony Crawford serves Parklane Apartment as the Community Manager who lives on the property. He said he was extremely please that the tenants were enjoying the fun and festivities as well getting to know their neighbors. The tenants and their children enjoyed a variety of foods from various vendors such as Nay’s Tacos and more. They joined in for a round of the electric slide to the beat of sounds from the DJ. Thrash said, “We are connected better with our residents talking to people trying to understand what their needs are and making sure that we respond to that and making sure that we have a safe and decent place for families to live.” Pearl Franklin, the oldest tenant in the Parklane Apartments said “Any part of West Angeles is a part of me.” She talked about how much she was enjoying herself and she said any thing that goes wrong in her apartment she tells the manager and it gets fixed. She said tenants who don’t say anything can’t expect to get anything done when something goes wrong in their apartment. She said she is like the mama to many in the apartment complex. When asked what she thought about the day of appreciation she said, “It is gorgeous. It is nice, really nice.” Looking at the faces of the parents children as they went from booth to booth to get the the ice cream and cake, the snow cones, the hamburgers and ice cold lemonade it was a sign that this will not be the last time for the Parklane Tenant Appreciation Day.

Shootings of Unarmed Black Men: This Has to Stop Says Black Caucus (Continued from page 1) themselves to pursuing tangible policies that address this issue in California, including the increased militarization of police departments across the state. “In 2012, white officers killed black suspects about twice a week in the United States, or an average of 96 times,” cited Assemblymember Shirley N. Weber (D-San Diego), who facilitated the discussion at the press conference, entitled Young, Black and Unarmed, held at the California State Capitol. “Why? I have to say that we are dealing with a systemic and persistent form of racism that allows guilt to be presumed and the assumption that violence is inevitable when dealing with black youth,.” she said. CLBC Chair, Senator Holly Mitchell (D- Los Angeles) stated: “Young, black, unarmed men are dying at a disproportionate rate whenever there is an interaction with law enforcement; from Oscar Grant to Michael Brown to Ezell Ford, these men had brief encounters with white police officers and instead of having a chance to defend themselves in a court of law, they lost their lives.” Assemblymember Steven Bradford (D-Gardena), Chair of the Assembly Select Commit-
tee on Boys and Men of Color noted that there had been four law-enforcement killings of black youth in the last month alone. “We need to address this lack of value for African American life”, he said CLBC members agreed that they need to explore the increased acquisition of military style equipment, including tanks, for use in towns and cities as a means of deescalating incidents between law enforcement and members of communities of color. In a statement released last week, the CLBC) affirmed that the solution to these problems lies in the creation of tangible policies that benefit young men of color across California. The CLBC has advocated for courses of action to expand early childhood education, boost funding for K-12 public schools and enhance access to rehabilitative services while also increasing the number of Californians who have health insurance. These policies not only improve the outcomes for young black men, but further the development of all people, despite their class, race, gender, sexual orientation or religion.

Los Angeles, CA– At a recent community event to educate Californians about homeownership, Congresswoman Maxine Waters (CA-43) spoke to hundreds about the importance of responsibly owning a home, and discussed the wide array of federal, state and local resources available for those looking to buy or refinance a home. Waters delivered the remarks at the Korean Churches for Community Development’s (KCCD) 13th Annual Homeownership Fair. The annual event provides the community access to valuable resources on how to navigate the home purchase process, understand the current housing market, and learn more about the local and federal assistance available to existing homeowners. In Congress, Waters serves as the Ranking Member of the Financial Services Committee, which has jurisdiction over all components of the nation’s housing and financial services sectors, including real estate, public and assisted housing, and consumer protection laws. As the top House Democrat on housing issues, Waters was asked to open the Fair. In addition to discussing federal purchase and refinance resources currently available, Waters’ remarks touched on the state of California’s housing market following the

severity of 2008 foreclosure crisis. “Owning a home is the cornerstone of the American Dream. And I believe all Americans should have the opportunity to purchase a home or affordably rent one, by providing them access to the resources, tools and information necessary to ensure that goal can be achieved,” Waters said at the event. “Following the 2008 financial and housing crisis, the Dream of homeownership was threatened for many in our community. Although the foreclosure rate in our area has improved, there remains much more work to do. But I still believe in the power of homeownership, because owning a home can still
be one of the best ways for families to build wealth, when it is done responsibly.” Waters’ also discussed the actions she and her fellow Democrats have taken to address the causes of the foreclosure crisis and jumpstart lending so that more families can experience the dream of homeownership in a sustainable manner. The Homeownership Fair took place on August 16 and was held at the Wilshire United Methodist Church in Los Angeles. KCCD is a non-profit faith-based organization whose mission is to advance the Asian-American community’s participation, contribution, and influence through faith-based and community partnerships.
