held on Saturday, September 28th at the EXPO Center in Los Angeles was an affair to remember, my first cousin Vedia Brunt and her husband flew in from Senatobia, Mississippi and like they planned it was a surprise. It was beautiful. They came in hands first helping where they could to make the GLORY Awards a memorable occasion. They help to greet the incoming guests and it was a family affair as honorees and their family and friends joined one another as DJ Curtis play familiar tunes. Then Stanley Dukes and his associate spread out the lunch menu that included fried Chicken, rice pilaf and green beans with Elnora Ragland’s thirst-quenching sparkling fruit punch. It was a grand time to celebrate with our honorees who expressed themselves in their own words about the 2nd GLORY awards ceremony. Dr. Wanda Brown said, “Fabulous event! Everybody loved it.

President of Community Healing Network Comments on Guyger Sentence and ‘Forgiveness’ by Victim’s Brother By The Community Healing Network On Oct. 1, the high-profile trial of former Dallas police officer Amber Guyger, a White woman who shot and killed Botham Jean, an unarmed Black man who was simply eating a bowl of ice cream in his own apartment, ended in a conviction. Guyger could have been sentenced to up to 99 years in prison. Instead, on Oct. 3, she was sentenced to 10 years in prison, with the possibility of being paroled after serving only five years. After Guyger’s sentencing, in an unprecedented act, Brandt Jean, the victim’s brother, publicly forgave Guyger and embraced her in the courtroom. That act of forgiveness created a stir in the media and in the Black community. In a statement, Enola Aird, founder and president of Community Healing Network (CHN), said about Guyger’s sentence and her treatment by the court and Jean’s brother: “We grieve with the Jean family for all that they have been through from the wanton murder of their son in 2018 through this week’s conviction and sentencing of his killer. We stand in solidarity with them as they walk into the future without their beloved Botham. This case has raised a wide range of emotional issues that point to the pressing need for genuine racial healing. The shooting itself was a tragic example of the pervasive and implicit anti-Black bias that associates Black people with all things negative. Even a young Black man sitting peacefully in his own apartment eating ice cream signals danger. These biases are the source of continuing trauma for Black people because we know that doing anything while Black can be deadly. Anti-Black racism has proven to be intractable because as a society we have not focused on its root cause: the poisonous idea that Black people are inferior. That lie, devised centuries ago to justify the enslavement
and subjugation of African people, objectified, commodified, and dehumanized Black people. It is still very much with us. It is still negatively shaping other people’s perceptions of us and our perceptions of ourselves. The lie is also at the root of the controversies that caused such a stir in the Black community over the last week as the jury deliberated and handed down the conviction and the sentence against Amber Guyger, the White police officer who killed Jean. After the reading of the verdict and announcement of the punishment, both the Black judge in the case and Botham Jean’s younger brother were moved to hug Guyger, and a Black woman court officer was seen stroking her hair. Some people in our community were moved by these displays of forgiveness. Others hit the roof –talking about how painful it was to see Black people giving what some called ‘cheap grace.’ There was talk about internalized racism, Black self-loathing, and the degree to which so many Black people feel compelled to make White people feel comfortable. Commentator Keith Boykin said it illustrated the fact that the lives of White women are more valuable than the lives of Black men. This is true. All of this consternation underscores the urgent need to confront and extinguish the lie of White superiority and Black inferiority, the root cause of the devaluing of Black lives, once and for all. Only then can there be any hope of intra-racial or interracial healing.” Established in 2006, Community Healing Network (CHN) is a not-for-profit organization based in New Haven, Conn. Since CHN was launched, its primary mission has been to actively address the psychological damage that people of African ancestry have suffered because of the centuries-old “lie” that Black people are inferior. CHN, in collaboration with the Association of Black Psychologists, is leading a global movement to train thousands of Emotional Emancipation (EE) Circle support group leaders across the Diaspora to heal the wounds of racism and cre-
Predatory Lending Fuels Disparities, Increases Hunger By Rev. Dr. Angelique Walker-Smith
Recently the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) revealed that 11 percent of U.S. households struggled with hunger in 2018. This is the seventh year in a row of decline in the number of Americans experiencing hunger. We are finally back to where we were before the Great Recession. “Bread for the World celebrates this progress against hunger,” said Rev. David Beckmann, president of Bread for the World. “It is due to low unemployment, combined with the fact that Congress has repeatedly backed away from cutting safety-net programs like Medicaid and SNAP.” African American households, however, did not see any gains over this period. More than 21 percent of African Americans are struggling with hunger. Why? Historic wealth and income gaps, policies that contribute to structural racism and gender inequities, and predatory lending help answer this question. Some have observed that this lack of progress against hunger contributes to a sense of weariness. The Rev. Sekinah Hamlin, director of faith affairs at the Center for Responsible Lending, states the following in her October devotional about the contributing factor of predatory lending. The devotional can be found in Bread for the World’s Pan African QuadCentennial devotional guide Lament and Hope: Today all of us are wringing our hands as an astonishing number of families must confront bad financial actors in their own communities. These actors are poised to prey on the vulnerability of these families under the guise of helping them by putting them in cycles of debt. This is an economic vortex that devours financial independence and social hope. The despera-
tion of many families prevents them from understanding that many quick, convenient financial “solutions” to their car or appliance repair needs are actually predatory lending schemes that can rob them of their ability to care for their loved ones. Such inequitable practices are inconsistent with the biblical teachings. Rev. Hamlin points to examples of this in the books of Exodus, Proverbs, Luke, and Ephesians. Exodus 22:25-27 presents God’s prohibition of charging excessive interest, usury, and predatory practices against the poor—admonishing us to treat those in need with dignity. Proverbs 28:8-10 tells us that God pronounces judgment on those who structure unethical practices in business. Luke 19:12-27 envisions enhanced income through wise and just investment, encouraging honorable investing in people and community. Ephesians 6:12 warns of invisible systems that prohibit wealth-building among other life-giving measures and calls us to advocacy with our policy leaders. Bread for the World envisions a world in which all people are economically empowered so that all people can be fed. We invite you to work with us in advocating with and for vulnerable families so that they are not offered predatory financial products or programs and policies. Please consider holding a Bread for the World Sunday and an Offering of Letters to advocate for this. Learn more about how you can join this effort at https://www.bread.org/bread-world-sunday. Angelique Walker-Smith is senior associate for Pan African and Orthodox Church Engagement at Bread for the World.

East Los Angeles College Opens First Specialized America’s Job Center of California (AJCC) On-Campus to Provide Employment Services Directly for Students East Los Angeles, CA – Hundreds gathered today for the grand opening of the East Los Angeles College (ELAC) America’s Job Center of California (AJCC) and community resource fair in East Los Angeles. The ELAC AJCC is the first of its kind, dedicated solely to providing comprehensive employment and training opportunities for ELAC students seeking careers. “The East Los Angeles College AJCC will offer free on-campus job training and placement services to students entering the workforce to prepare them to be strong candidates for the labor market,” said Los Angeles County Supervisor Hilda L. Solis. “The ELAC AJCC in partnership with the existing East LA neighborhood-based AJCC will also provide local residents access to vital resources that will help them build meaningful careers. I am proud that this new AJCC will have a strong presence at one of our most distinguished colleges.” The ELAC AJCC will specifically provide students assistance in assessing skills, finding job opportunities, preparing resumes, accessing academic support and more. This specialized AJCC will also allow students to leverage County resources and already existing workforce programs administered by the County of Los Angeles, including paid work experience opportunities in various
industry sectors, from public sector opportunities available with the County, to opportunities in growing sectors such as healthcare and technology. Conversely, the AJCC will connect ELAC with the business community, helping the school and its students understand what businesses are looking for in future hires. “This specialized AJCC will have its pulse on the next generation of workers, creating custom programs to fit their interests and strengths,” said Acting Director of Los Angeles County Workforce Development, Aging and Community Services Otto Solorzano. “We will not only provide access to job and training opportunities, but also help students launch careers that lead to family-sustaining wages.” “ELAC is excited to have this Job Center on campus and the many different opportunities it gives to our students,” said Interim President of East Los Angeles College Raul Rodriguez. “The resources and skills our students can gain from the Job Center will prepare them to enter the workforce.” Attendees had the opportunity to tour the East Los Angeles College AJCC and participate in a community resource fair that included the Office of Supervisor Hilda L. Solis, the Los Angeles County Fire and Sheriff Departments, ELAC Education Programs, WDACs, the Veteran’s AJCC, UPS, Hilton, and more.
ply. Dependents of Edison International and SCE employees and retirees are not eligible for the Edison Scholars Program. “These future leaders have the opportunity to change lives, communities
and perhaps even the world,” said Pedro Pizarro, president and CEO of Edison International. “We are proud to help talented students realize their academic dreams and support these important STEM programs.”
Scholarship recipients will be announced next spring. They may also be eligible for summer internships at SCE after completing their second year of college. Since 2006, Edison International has awarded an estimated $9.9 million in scholarships to 640 students through the Edison Scholars Program. Edison International’s support of charitable causes, including the Edison Scholars Program, is funded entirely by Edison International shareholders. SCE customers’ utility bill payments do not fund company donations. Edison International (NYSE:EIX), through its subsidiaries, is a generator and distributor of electric power, as well as a provider of energy services and technologies, including renewable energy. Headquartered in Rosemead, Calif., Edison International is the parent company of Southern California Edison, one of the nation’s largest electric utilities.

“What an honor to be recognized with the stellar group of individuals who received this years Glory Awards. I was humbled and blessed to be part of the event.” Regina Wilson, Executive Director, California Black Media and a GLORY Awards recipient, said, “I am grateful to be honored for the second annual GLORY Awards. To be recognized with so many esteemed leaders helps give me the fuel to continue to ensure the work of protecting the freedom on the Black Press and the ethnic media sector as a whole is not just preserved but also thrives. It is my life’s mission to keep our communities armed with relevant and factual information to make the best decisions for them selves, family and community.” I attended an affair last Saturday with Sister Gloria Zuurveen and the PACE NEWS. They had an affair and they honored me and few other people including the Mayor of Inglewood and I was so impressed by the activities there. There was a little group of praise dancers that danced directly in front of me and brought tears to my eyes. There was a lady there that was 93 years old she was pretty pry. And all I can say is that it was a wonderful show and I had a wonderful time and I am look-
ing forward to doing that again,” said, Mr. Wright, former bandleader for Bill Cosby. Many in attendance were moved by the testimony of Joan Hephzbah Martin, a former homeless mother with six children from 2005 to 2016. She defied the system to keep her children all together and not split them up in different foster care homes. She did it when she had no place to lay her and her six children’s head. Mrs. Joan Hephzbah Martin said, “It was really a great experience for me to see the turn out and the support and all the speakers that spoke on their platform they represented. You really touched my heart. It also brought a greater awareness from my testimony. People were encouraged. Homelessness is truly an epidemic, its real, people are suffering but in the midst of that there is still hope. If we can just reach out to one family at a time. It is doable. I was homeless myself and my homelessness encourages me as a homeless person. It encourages me everyday to see the grace of God, the beauty of God and God’s Word not returning void concerning my life. I just pray that this award, the GLORY award will grow and bloom and reach out to many communities, many organizations will get involved not only physi-

The least of these. That is why the GLORY Thrift Store was started. It is a way to help those in need. Free clothing, job opportunities and more resources to help the youth and young adults who are homeless and/or facing homelessness. We thank all of our supporters for the GLORY Awards success.

that regard,” Panella said. “It was more that she felt that she was a part of the expansion of the African-American community in the arts, not the sole creator of that movement.” Carroll’s close friend and fellow vocalist from that era, Dionne Warwick, reacted with grief, saying, “My personal world has taken a downward spiral. Losing my dear friend and mentor comes as a true hurt to my heart.” ANOTHER SINGLEMOM ROLE Carroll’s success as “Julia” set her up for another title role in the 1974 movie, “Claudine,” for which she received an Academy Award nomination as best actress. Playing opposite James Earl Jones, she reprised her single-mother persona, this time living in Harlem with six children and on public relief. She went on to play numerous screen roles, mostly in television shows and madefor-TV movies, until just a few years ago. Besides “Julia,” she is perhaps best remembered by TV audiences for her role as Dominique Deveraux, a glamorous diva on the 1980s hit primetime soap opera “Dynasty.” Carol Diann Johnson was born in the Bronx borough of New York City on July 17, 1935, daughter of a subway con-

Modeling for Ebony magazine by the time she was 15, she adopted the more exoticsounding Diahann Carroll as a teenager auditioning for singing gigs, it said. In 1954, she landed her first singing role on Broadway in the musical “House of Flowers,” before going on to play Clara in the Otto Preminger’s big-screen version of “Porgy and Bess in 1959. She also had auditioned for the lead in Preminger’s 1954 film adaptation of “Carmen Jones” but ended up cast in the supporting role of Myrt instead. Her performance as a fashion model in the 1962 Broadway musical interracial love story “No Strings” won her a Tony Award as best actress, a first for an African-American performer. Carroll, who had been married four times, also sang in nightclubs and recorded several record albums from the late 1950s to the mid-1960s. “She was a tremendous talent and just a very unique human being,” said Panella. “I was blessed to have her as my client for all of that time.” Our Standards:The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles.

The City receives its potable water from two sources: Metropolitan Water District through the West Basin Municipal Water District (WBMWD) (75%) and from the City owned groundwater wells treated at the Water Treatment Plant (25%). The water provided to customer homes and businesses is supplied through a network of pipelines approximately 150 miles long. The revenue received from payment of your water bills is used to purchase potable water from WBMWD, groundwater replenishment assessment, electricity charges, operation and maintenance of the system and replacement and rehabilitation of aging water infrastructure. During previous 7 years, water service rates have not been revised although the gap between revenue and expenditures keeps widening. The proposed rate increase is the first rate change since October 2012. Table 1 shows the current and proposed fire service charges per meter sizes. Tables 2 summarizes current and proposed fixed service charges. Table 3 lists current and proposed commodity charges. The City encourages water conservation so, customers conserving water will pay lower rate.
Recycled Water rates will be charged at 80% (eighty percent) of all other customers’ potable water rates. Proposed water service rates will pay for inflation, increased cost of imported potable and recycled water and groundwater replenishment assessment hikes. In addition, it will be used to replace/rehabilitate aging water infrastructure on a regular basis for maintenance of system reliability, sustainability and water quality.
