PACE NEWS
is a proud member of:
Regina Wilson, founder of RBW Communication, a strategic communications firm which specializes in positioning African-American community, political, faith and thought leaders in public policy discussion, was already a seasoned politically savvy negotiator in the halls of Sacramento under the leadership of former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger when she took over the reign of California Black Media Association, founded by her dad, Hardy Brown, Chairman of the Brown Publishing Company and co-publisher of The Black Voice News. CBM encompasses radio, magazines, and newspaper of which PACE NEWS has been associated with since the early 2000s. Under Wilson leadership, success has followed. It is to Wilson’s credit as head of CBM, that yearly roundtable discussions in Sacramento during the annual legislative week held in February, that Black media owners are given opportunity to meet and greet with movers, shakers and policy makers one-on-one. This is owed to Wilson who uses her skills as a Wilberforce University graduate with a bachelor of arts degree in communications. She is to be applauded and encouraged as well as admired for her tenacity and ability to build bridges among ethnic groups such as with her recent collaboration she has established with Consejo de Federaciones Mexicanas en Norte America FBO Latino Media Collaborative (LMC) whereby they were awarded over a half million dollars, $597,500 in social equity funds from the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-BIZ). Wilson and CBM collaborative partner LMC grant were among 69 grants totaling $28.5 million awarded to organizations across the state. NAACP Empowerment Programs, Inc. received $299,696; Los Angeles Brotherhood Crusade - Black United Fund, Inc. were the recipient of $300,000. According to a Go-Biz press release announcing the grant awardees, the funds came from cannabis tax revenue generated by the Adult Use of Marijuana Act (Proposition 64, 2016) and are granted through the California Community Reinvestment Grants (CALCRG) program. The grants purposes are to serve communities disproportionate affected by the War on Drugs (WoD). Over the years, Wilson has positioned CBM as an organization that will cross ethnic boundaries to work together with the Latino Media Collaborative to win the opportunity in preparation to provide reparations to those whom Governor Newsom say are recipients of misguided drug policies. His Senior Advisor on Cannabis, Nicole Elliot said, “California is now building a cannabis regulatory framework that literally invest in social justice.” Wilson is to be congratulated on working to build this framework through her network of community partners. Proposition 64 was approved by the voters in 2016 on November 8 by California Voters and in accordance
Regina Wilson, Director, California Black Media
with law, GO-BIZ awarded grants to CBM, LMC and other community-based nonprofit organizations to support job placement, mental health, substance use disorder treatment, system navigation services of which CBM is responsible for implementing per the grant; legal services to address barriers to re-entry and linkages to medical care for the communities disproportionately affected by past federal and state drug policies. Wilson has, along with capable staff, steered the California Black Media (CBM) into unchartered waters at the state level when it comes to accessing critical funds to sustain a viable and critical media advocacy group like CBM. Because of CBM, Black media owners across the state are reaping benefits years after their first meeting with Peter Lee, Executive Director, Covered California and Dr. Bob Ross, President & CEO, California Endowment in discussion of media and Covered California outreach to their readers and listeners in the state. Wilson is to be congratulated and especially relating to the recent news reported on PACE NEWS front page announcing that Governor Gavin Newsom has committed to producing a quarterly column entitled “On the Record” in ethnic media outlets keeping the community informed on public policies. It is this collaboration with ethnic media veterans like Sandy Close of Ethnic Media Services and LMC that Wilson, who is a recipient of Parent Action Coalition for Education (PACE) 2019 GLORY AWARD, is letting her light shine through collaboration for reparations.
Is Gascon the Progressive Hero He Claims to Be? By Eric Siddall Candidate George Gascon has claimed he will be a progressive district attorney. He often speaks of racial disparities in the criminal justice system and mass incarceration. He talks passionately about how communities of color are arrested and targeted at unacceptable rates. Yet, his record tells a different story. His county has higher arrest rates of African-Americans, both when he was Chief of Police and as District Attorney, than most other California counties. In 2016, almost 40 percent of those arrested in San Francisco were African-American despite being 5.1 percent of the population. In other words, arrest rates for African-Americans are nearly 8 times higher than the African-American population. Los Angeles,
in contrast, has one of the lowest arrest rates for African-Americans in California. Angelenos should be asking the former Chief of Police and District Attorney of San Francisco how this record qualifies him a progressive. Look beyond his words and look instead at his record. Eric Siddall is Vice President of the Association of Los Angeles Deputy District Attorneys, the collective bargaining agent representing nearly 1,000 Deputy District Attorneys who work for the County of Los Angeles.

EDUCATION & COMMUNITY NEWS Award-Winning Author Helps Teens Get Published While Increasing Their Literacy Scores Empath. Visionary. Trailblazer. Paradigm Shifter. Hollywood, South Carolina’s native son, Shaytee Gadson, author of Hallelujah! In Hollywood: A True Hollywood Story, is doing what no other African American published author has done – and that is to get urban high school students to become published authors – by the time they graduate from high school. At the same time, students show significant increases in literacy and substantially higher standardized test scores. Gadson has implemented the Rough Writers Program in Houston, TX, which addresses literacy, student voice, and student choice among urban youth. His pioneering technique, Literary Hip Hop or #LipHop, uses the key components of Hip Hop- to encourage students to write from their hearts, and to write the real issues- that they want to share with the world. “A profound love of literacy gave me a voice in this world, and a choice in this world,” Gadson said. “I want to do everything in my power to ensure that African American and Latino children, the most marginalized, underserved and maligned demographic groups in America’s schools, have the opportunity to

builds on Governor Newsom’s commitment to working with community, ethnic and diverse media outlets. Throughout his first year in office, the Governor and his senior staff have participated in several telebriefing media calls and meetings on a host of issues ranging from the death penalty to public charge to the 2020 Census. “The idea for the column grew out of a two year effort by representatives of Black, Latino, Asian and Native media to educate state legislators and decision makers about the sector’s role and to forge a multiethnic media advocacy voice,” said Sandy Close who directs Ethnic Media Services, a nonprofit media consulting organization. Regina Brown Wilson, director of California Black Media, says the column “couldn’t come at a more critical time. In this information era dominated by high tech platforms, Governor Newsom is sending an important signal that government needs high touch communicators embedded in and trusted by their local communities.”Gabriel Lerner, veteran editor of ImpreMedia’s La Opinion, underscored the need for consistent outreach by the Governor as an antidote to the growing fear and distrust of government among immigrant audiences in the wake of Trump administration anti-immigrant measures. “Every new announcement from the White House creates a relentless campaign of terror. The column is one small but important counter -voice that all immigrants need to hear,” Lerner said.
“Establishing a direct and consistent way of communication with the people of California is essential to have an informed, engaged, and prosperous community,” said Marco Flores, Vice President of News for Univision Los Angeles. Francis Espiritu, longtime publisher of Philippine News Today, a national Filipino news outlet headquartered in the Bay Area, was one of numerous Asian media leaders who joined the collaborative effort. He says he is eager to run the column to inform audiences about the Governor’s policy objectives and to reassure them that “the state has our back.” Native media are also a key part of the collaboration. Joe Orozco, who directs the Hoopa reservation based KIDE radio in northern Eureka, says the isolation and diversity of tribal lands makes communications an even greater challenge. He hopes the column represents an effort to make communication two-way. “We want to tell our story as well,” said Orozco. The partnership includes the LGBTQ publications Bay Area Reporter and Los Angeles Blade. “The Bay Area Reporter looks forward to the quarterly columns by Governor Gavin Newsom. As one of the oldest LGBT newspapers in the country, we think our readers will enjoy learning about issues the governor writes about. California is in a state of constant change, and we believe our readers will be interested to hear directly from San Francisco’s former mayor through his columns on how he plans to address myriad issues statewide,” said Cynthia Laird, News Editor with the Bay Area Reporter.
versity), in the first school shooting on an American college campus, the Orangeburg Massacre- to his father’s (Mayor Gadson) scandalous terms in office, as the first African-American Mayor of Hollywood, SC and the first elected official in United States history, to ever be banned from the place that they were duly elected to serve, by a judge. Gadson leaves students transfixed and entranced,
as he recalls the stories of the ravages of drugs that his arsonist, crack-selling and crack-addicted brother endured. Gadson captivated the students, with his own struggles with alcoholism, single fatherhood and foray into the streets selling drugs, as he attempted to make sense of a life that he desperately wanted to change. Gadson uses his life ex-
periences to show students that writing can be empowering as well as therapeutic. Students at South Early College High School and Worthing High School in Houston reap the benefits of Gadson’s inspiration, with relatable family stories so much that students want to write their own stories; and, Gadson guides them through the process in the Rough Writers Program. Students become more engaged in reading Gadson’s material, because that is appealing to them; they also learn to analyze and think critically, which are skills, students must learn to master. With the enriched vocabulary and literary elements, Gadson’s tour de force inspires students to want to read intriguing literature. At one Houston high school, 97% of the students showed significant gains on the State assessment. “To have a visit from an author of a book I am interested in reading, helps me to understand where he was coming from when he was writing the book and where he came up with the ideas that he included in the book,” said Jianna Lawson, a student at South Early College High School. “That is deeper than you get from just

Reform Jews Call for Reparations for Slavery By Yonat Shimron (RNS) — Delegates
to the Union for Reform Judaism’s biennial meeting in Chicago on Friday (Dec. 13) voted overwhelmingly to advocate for the creation of a federal commission to study and develop proposals for reparations to African Americans for slavery. The resolution is the first such effort on the part of an American Jewish organization but has precedent among some Protestant groups. The text of the resolution not only urges the federal government to act; it also commits the movement’s 850 congregations in the U.S. and Canada to redress the effects of historic and ongoing racism and evaluate institutional efforts to promote racial equity. The Reform movement is the largest Jewish denomination in North America, comprising more than a third of the total U.S. Jewish population. Rabbi Jonah Dov Pesner, director of the movement’s Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, said the resolution went through a rigorous vetting process. It was drafted by the denomination’s Commission on Social Action and sent out to its member congregations for discussion and debate. The denomination crafted a vehicle for congregants to consider reparations called Reflect, Relate, Reform that allowed them to study and consider ways to get

When students read and listen to Gadson’s true to life experiences, and learn that his mother Linda Gadson- a praying woman, who is the first AfricanAmerican woman to graduate from the oldest college in the South, the College of Charleston- and is the reason behind the Hallelujah, they make connections with the matriarchs in their own families. “This is a story that people can relate to and if they put this on State of Texas As-
sessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) more people would be engaged and would be able to pass this test,” said Robert Mooney, a student at Worthing High School. The desire to become published authors becomes a reality, once students are introduced to an excerpt from Gadson’s book, and after they meet him. Gadson is the 2015 Harlem International Film Festival Co-Winner for Best Screenplay. He attended The College of Charleston and Morris College and is a member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc.

The Reform movement has had a storied history of social justice activism, especially during the civil rights movement of the 1950s and ’60s. One of its members, Kivie Kaplan, served as the national president of the NAACP from
1966 to 1975. Several others had a hand in drafting the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Black and brown Reform Jews helped guide the movement on the issue of reparations, Pesner said. But as the resolution itself notes, the idea of reparations is not new to Jews. Since 1952, the German government has paid more than $70 billion in reparations to more than 800,000 Holocaust survivors. “It’s time for the country to have a national conversation about what effective, strategic reparations would look like that would both address systemic racism but also be good for America as a whole,” he said. With passage of the resolution, the movement will now advocate for HR 40, a bill that establishes a Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans. The bill has not yet come up for a vote. (Adelle M. Banks contributed to this story)

NEWS An Intimate Moment with Philip Bailey of Musical Group Earth, Wind & Fire By Micha Green D.C. Editor mgreen@afro.com
Fans of celebrated musical group Earth, Wind & Fire and legendary featured lead singer Philip Bailey learned the “Reasons,” why the band’s sound has touched the hearts of audiences for five decades, and what led them to their recent induction into the esteemed Kennedy Center Honors. On Dec. 8, Grammy winning and celebrated musical group Earth, Wind & Fire made history as the first Black band to be instated into the Kennedy Center Honors. Members Verdine White, Ralph Johnson and Bailey accepted the Kennedy Center Honor on behalf of the band and posthumously the group’s instrumental singer, songwriter and producer, Maurice White. The following day at Eaton Workshop, Bailey sat down with music journalist and Eaton Radio host John Murph, for an intimate conversation on his career, the Kennedy Center Honors and the band’s impact and legacy on the world. In a surprising share, Bailey jumped right into the conversation thanking D.C. for its contributions to the band’s career. “Earth, Wind & Fire was kind of born in the D.C. and Philly area,” Bailey said. “We were playing colleges and the Carter Barron and those kind of places,” the singer added, garnering a large applause from the D.C. audience. “We owe D.C. a debt of gratitude because they kind of birthed us,” the singer said. An audience member

(Courtesy Photo) yelled, “Welcome home,” and Bailey affirmed the comment when he replied, “Thanks. It’s kind of like being home.” In a conversation that lasted over an hour, Bailey shared stories about his introduction into the band, trials within music making and how the group was able to develop such a classic sound that has survived five decades. “The fact that we’ve been doing this for 50 years, that’s a surprise,” Bailey told the audience.
He explained how his famous falsetto and Maurice White’s voice were able to blend beautifully to create Earth, Wind & Fire’s famous harmonies, such as those found in their fourth studio album, ‘Head to the Sky,’ which was released in 1973. “We found the right rhythm section and me and Maurice decided to do all the vocals, because we just connected well. We understood it was easier for him to tell me what he wanted
and was hearing and stuff, than three other guys who really weren’t singers. So we developed a sound of just molting our voiceswith all the high and low,” Bailey said. “So that was it. ‘[Keep Your Head] Head to the Sky’ was the first record where we started to do that and the sound really started to develop as a whole.” With a glowing reputation as a member of Earth, Wind & Fire and a celebrated solo career, Bailey also shared his pas-
sion for giving back to foster children, and talked in depth about his foundation “Music is Unity.” “By no fault of their own, children’s parents could’ve died, gone to jail, or whatever, where they’re no longer able to support them, but basically there’s such a large portion of society walking among us everyday needing so much help and aid,” Bailey said. “And because they don’t look like they are in the shape they are, no one’s saying anything. We’re working and supporting the foundation and organizations that are changing the law and bringing more awareness to the fact that there’s so many people in that condition.” Bailey explained what keeps the organization passionate about the work they’ve been doing for over a decade to assist foster children. “Keep the focus that every life is really valuable. And if you can help one person’s life and make it better, then stay focused on that.” He also explained how people can help Music is Unity. “You can go to musicisunity.org and see what we’re doing- what we’ve been doing for over 10 years- and get involved and champion the cause.” With Music is Unity, Earth, Wind & Fire and a successful solo career, when asked how he felt about receiving the Kennedy Center Honors and all the accolades of his lifetime the singer said, “I’m humbled.” “I hope that in my life I would finish strong making a positive impact to the highest degree that I can,” Bailey said closing the intimate evening.
