ACA open enrollment deadline Dec.15 Enrollment is open through Dec. 15 for people to sign up for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act. People also may re-enroll or change their insurance plan through the ACA Health Insurance Marketplace by the Dec. 15 deadline.

Coverage will start on Jan. 1 once premiums are paid.

According to early reports, more than 200,000 people chose a plan on Nov. 1, the day enrollment opened. That’s more than double the number of people who signed up on the enrollment’s first day in 2016.

Concern about health care has grown since the Trump administration cut the enrollment period from 90 days to 45 and reduced funding for outreach efforts to publicize enrollment and help people sign up.

Most recently, President Trump announced cuts to subsidies to reimburse insurance companies for the assistance they are required to provide to low-income customers who struggle with co-payments and deductibles. The result has caused premiums to fluctuate for 2018 and confusion for consumers.

Details about the ACA and enrollment are available at www. healthcare.gov.

The program will be held at 11 a.m. at Dogwood Dell in Byrd Park.

The ceremony, which is open to the public without charge, is sponsored by the Virginia War Memorial, a division of the Virginia Department of Veterans Services, in partnership with the Richmond Department of Parks, Recreation and Community Facilities.

Music will be provided by the 380th Army Band. Winners of the Virginia War Memorial’s annual Veterans Day Essay Contest for middle and high school students will be announced, with the winners reading their essays.

The program will honor the nearly 12,000 Virginia men and women who have gave their lives in service to the nation since World War II. The program was moved from its usual venue at the Virginia War Memorial because of renovations taking place at the site on Belvidere Street.

Organizers also have posted at www.vawarmemorial.org information about the ceremony and suggested routes to Byrd Park because of road closures for Saturday’s Richmond Marathon.

Correction An article published in the Free Press Nov. 2-4 edition about the continued fallout at Short Pump Middle School over the lewd and racist locker room video taken and distributed over social media incorrectly states that Andy Jenks, a spokesperson for the Henrico County Public Schools, confirmed that an assistant athletic coach at the school was fired.

Mr. Jenks provided information stating that a Short Pump Middle School football coach’s last day of employment was Tuesday, Oct. 17. Henrico schools officials said they learned about the video on Monday, Oct. 16.

Class action suit filed against BB&T for stop payment request violation

By Jeremy M. Lazarus

When Ronnie and Christine Gilliam told BB&T bank they were revoking the right of a payday lender to take electronic payments from their checking account, they allege the bank ignored the request.

Instead, the Gilliams claim the bank directed them to file a “stop payment” request at a cost of $70, but refused to guarantee that the “stop payment” would halt electronic payments to the payday lender.

And sure enough, BB&T paid the lender anyway, the Gilliams claim.

Now the Gilliams and Elwood R. Bumbray, another Richmond area BB&T customer who claims the bank refused instructions to halt electronic payments to a lender, are seeking to hold BB&T accountable.

They have filed a class action suit against BB&T on behalf of themselves and other customers who have been harmed.

Their claim: BB&T is violating a federal law that requires financial institutions to obey customer instructions to halt electronic payments to creditors, even if the customer previously authorized the payment.

They want the bank to repay them for the money electronically sent to creditors in violation of the 1978 law and to force BB&T to comply with the act from now on.

BB&T, which has not yet responded in court to the allegations, declined to

comment on the pending litigation filed Oct. 30 in U.S. District Court in Richmond on behalf of the plaintiffs by the Richmondbased Virginia Poverty Law Center and the law firm of Kelly and Crandall.

A date to hear the case has not been set.

According to James W. “Jay” Speer, executive director of the VPLC, BB&T exemplifies the way that banks and credit unions are damaging their customers.

He said too many institutions treat deposits as if the money belongs to them, instead of to the customer. As a result, they refuse to obey customer instructions to halt electronic payments to one or more creditors despite the consumer protection law that has been in place for 40 years.

That creates problems for people with checking accounts who authorize companies to automatically deduct payments for everything from credit card bills to utility payments, mortgages, magazine subscriptions and online purchases.

Under the 1978 Electronic Funds Transfer Act, a financial institution becomes liable for any money that is paid after a customer provides notice that a thirdparty is no longer authorized to be paid, the suit states.

The goal of that federal law, the suit notes, is to provide “safeguards for consumers who arrange for regular payments (such as insurance premiums or utility bills) to be deducted automatically from

their bank accounts. These safeguards protect the consumer’s control over his or her own account.

“Accordingly, BB&T’s practices violate (that law), and BB&T is liable to plaintiffs and prospective class members for their actual and proximate damages,” the suit states.

Mr. Speer said that VPLC gets hundreds of calls yearly from people who have taken out an internet loan that is illegal in Virginia because the company either is not registered with the state as required or is charging a sky-high interest rate that is illegal under the state’s usury law.

“More times than we can count, after we tell the person to revoke authorization for the bank to make additional payments, the person calls us back and says the bank or credit union won’t or can’t stop the payments,” he said.

He said too often the financial institution requires their customer to pay for a “stop payment order” that “won’t work. In other words, the bank ends up helping the internet lender trap the bank’s customer in an illegal loan.”

Mr. Speer said, “We filed the suit because we know that no matter what your bank tells you, you have the right to stop a company from taking automatic payments from your account, even if you previously allowed them.

“The bank may be holding your money, but it is still your money.”

Richmond Christian Center decision to be made Nov. 20

By Jeremy M. Lazarus

The future of the Richmond Christian Center’s 5-acre property in South Side is to be determined on Monday, Nov. 20.

U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Keith L. Phillips set the new date Tuesday after an attorney for RCC’s court appointed trustee, Bruce H. Matson, said the trustee needed just a day or two more to decide between two potential buyers.

A decision was expected to be announced at Tuesday’s hearing.

But Mr. Matson’s attorney, Christopher L. Perkins, said the trustee’s decision would be filed with the court this week and assured Judge Phillips that he would be able to approve the motion and issue an order for the property’s sale at the upcoming hearing.

Mr. Perkins said both parties seeking to purchase the South Side tract have provided acceptable contracts that would ensure creditors, including RCC’s lender, Foundation Capital Resources, are fully paid. The sale would wrap up a four-year bankruptcy process.

The parties vying for the property at 214 Cowardin Ave. that RCC has occupied since 1986 include Richmond-based United Nations Church International and Richmond apartment developer Genesis Properties LLC. Mr. Perkins did not disclose any details about the offers from each bidder.

Kevin Funk, RCC’s attorney, said his client would merge with UNCI if the trustee selects the church as the purchaser. He said he and current trustees of RCC are optimistic that Mr. Matson will want to maintain the property as a religious institution.

Meanwhile, Stephen A. Parson, RCC’s ousted founding pastor, told Judge Phillips that he would oppose any sale of the property on Nov. 20.

He claimed in court RCC’s trustees “fraudulently” transferred the deed to their control on Oct. 14. He alleged that he should have been required to approve the transfer as an original trustee for RCC’s 1985 purchase of the property.

Mr. Parson also noted that because the RCC plan to emerge from

bankruptcy was “never consummated,” the church’s status should revert to the pre-bankruptcy state when he was in charge.

He said that he has a lender ready to advance funds to pay off RCC’s lender, but claims that his efforts to get his plan to refinance the property before the court have been “sabotaged”

by Mr. Matson and others.

Judge Phillips urged Mr. Parson to secure an attorney before making his argument on Nov. 20.

Rhonda Hickman, the chair of RCC’s three-member board of trustees, said the transfer of the property’s title was undertaken with the advice of attorneys and was done legally.

However, Mr. Parson, who still insists he is the pastor of RCC, said he would not allow “the property to be stolen. This is an important issue, and if necessary, I will appeal all the way to the Supreme Court.”

Separately, Mr. Parson has filed suit in Richmond Circuit Court alleging the RCC trustees wrongly transferred the title without permission. He also is seeking a court order reversing the transfer.

The suit was filed Nov. 1, but the papers have not been served on Ms. Hickman and the other RCC trustees, Calvin Yarborough and Raymond Partridge, according to the information posted on the Circuit Court’s information system.

Obamas choose 2 artists for official presidential portraits Continued from A1

Francis and Burton Reifler Collection

“Miss Everything (Unsuppressed Deliverance),” a painting by artist Amy Sherald, won first place in the National Portrait Gallery’s 2016 Outwin Boochever Portrait Competition.

“In many respects, (the Obamas) are introducing a new chapter in official portraiture by combining the best of the past with pop culture, the hip-hop aesthetic of urban America and the personal stories of the artists themselves.”

Mr. Wiley, 40, is a Los Angeles native who has achieved international renown for his portraits of young African-American men adorned in the latest hip-hop street style. His work was featured in 2016 during a well-received exhibit at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond, where Mr. Wiley also spoke about how he got into art and his artistic development and influences since attending the San Francisco Art Institute and the Yale School of Art. Ms. Sherald, 44, a relatively unknown artist and native of Columbus, Ga., was the winner of the National Portrait Gallery’s 2016 Outwin Boochever Portrait Competition, with her oil painting “Miss Everything (Unsuppressed

Deliverance)” beating out more than 2,500 entries.

Her portfolio was included by officials at the last minute for Mrs. Obama’s review for consideration for the presidential portraits, officials said.

At the end of each presidency, the museum partners with the White House to commission one official portrait of the president and one of his spouse, according to the museum. Two sets of official portraits are completed: One for the White House and one for the National Portrait Gallery. The museum began to commission presidents’ portraits with former President George H.W. Bush, when the portraits began being paid for with private funding, mostly from big donors.

Linda St. Thomas, a spokesperson at the Smithsonian Institution, said the donors are acknowledged in media materials and credited in labels.

About $300,000 has been raised so far for the Obamas’ portraits.

Ms. Sajet declined to say how much the artists are paid for the commission.

The National Rifle Association, which became notorious for its attack ads on behalf of Republicans, was perhaps, after President Trump and the Republican Party, the biggest loser.

Voters rejected the group’s fear-mongering ads that called for the election of the Republican candidates to prevent the confiscation of guns.

President Trump, who endorsed Mr. Gillespie but did not campaign with him, quickly disavowed the former chairman of the Republican National Committee shortly after Dr. Northam was determined to be the victor.

“Ed Gillespie worked hard but did not embrace me or what I stand for,” President Trump tweeted,

Dr. Adams

a theme quickly picked up by conservative talk show hosts who back the president.

“With the economy doing record numbers, we will continue to win, even bigger than before!”

Democrats worried that if Mr. Gillespie won, Republicans would see it as a green light to emphasize divisive cultural issues in their campaigns for next year’s elections, when all 435 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives and 33 of the U.S. Senate’s 100 seats come up for election. Republicans now control both chambers.

Now it is Republicans who must worry that siding with President Trump, as Mr. Gillespie did, could be a losing proposition.

House of Delegates to become more diverse Continued from A1

Virginia.

The Democratic victories mean the House of Delegates will have its first Latina and Asian-American members, its first transgender woman and its first lesbian member.

The Virginia Legislative Black Caucus also will grow from 12 to 13 House members with Jennifer Foy’s victory in District 2 in Northern Virginia.

The bottom line: Republicans, who held a seemingly insurmountable 32-seat advantage before the election, find themselves barely hanging on.

Before the election, the split in the House of Delegates was 66 Republicans to 34 Democrats. Following the election, Democrats are expected to control at least 49 seats to 51 for the GOP. Democratic Party officials said Wednesday they are expecting official recounts to be conducted in up to five House districts. A recount is certain for incumbent Newport News Republican David E. Yancey’s 12-vote victory over Democrat Shelly Simonds.

The election outcome is expected to shrink GOP influence over state spending priorities and sharply limit the Republicans’ ability to push tighter limits on abortions and abortion providers and impose new restrictions on voting — particularly with the Governor’s Mansion remaining under Democratic control with the new governor, Ralph S. Northam, who will wield a veto pen.

If Delegate Yancey ultimately loses in a recount, Democrats would have 50 of the 100 seats and be able to broker a powersharing arrangement that would boost their influence.

Narrow losses in two other races prevented Democrats from taking control of the House outright.

Irving to become Richmond’s next sheriff

By Ronald E. Carrington

“I am thankful for the confidence and support in me to lead the Sheriff’s Office to its next level,” Democrat Antionette V. Irving told supporters Tuesday night after defeating two independent candidates and a write-in challenger to become Richmond’s next sheriff.

Dr. Irving, a retired major with the Henrico County Sheriff’s Office who grew up in the Creighton Court public housing community and earned a Ph.D. in business administration from Northcentral University, had challenged longtime Richmond Sheriff C.T. Woody Jr. several times before beating him in the Democratic primary in June.

The 52-year-old then went on to take an early lead in Tuesday’s general election, winning 38,747 votes or 62 percent of the total. She outpaced independent candidates Nicole D. Jackson, who received 16,311 votes or 26 percent, and Emmett Johnson Jafari, who received 4,895 votes or 7.8 percent.

Retired Richmond Police Sgt. Carol Adams mounted a lastminute write-in campaign. The write-in votes cast in the election totaled 984, or less than 5 percent of the total votes cast.

However, election information available late Tuesday did not show whose name was written in.

“I am honored at the trust Richmond citizens have placed in me and I pledge to work my hardest to serve with integrity, compassion, professionalism, accountability and transparency,” Dr. Irving said in a statement to the Free Press.

The sheriff, a state-funded constitutional position, earns $148,000

annually and is responsible for managing the city jail, security at the city’s courts buildings and serving legal papers.

In a telephone interview Wednesday, Dr. Irving said she plans to provide programs and services to support inmates and their families during community re-entry, therefore reducing recidivism.

She also said she wants to boost staff morale by instituting new hiring and promotion processes.

“Effective service is accomplished through appropriate staffing, improving morale by providing officers the proper training so they are equipped with effective tools and resources to do the best possible job they can,” Dr. Irving said.

Dr. Irving’s campaign also focused on improving health care and mental health services and resources to inmates at the Richmond Justice Center.

“I want our citizens to believe in their Sheriff’s Office as we believe in the city,” she said.

City commonwealth’s attorney re-elected to fourth term Richmond voters on Tuesday re-elected the city’s top prosecutor to a fourth, four-year term.

Richmond Commonwealth’s Attorney Michael N. Herring, who was first elected in 2005, ran unopposed

in Tuesday’s contest.

Correct vote totals were unavailable Wednesday evening on the state Department of Elections website.

The commonwealth’s attorney’s office chiefly prosecutes violations

of state law and local ordinances in district and circuit courts.

Mr. Herring earns roughly $137,000 a year. The Richmond native often has been mentioned as a potential contender for other offices, including mayor.

Gibson gets voters’ nod for 3rd District School Board seat

By Ronald E. Carrington

Education advocate Kenya J. Gibson, who views improving Richmond school buildings as a top priority, was elected Tuesday to represent the 3rd District on the Richmond School Board.

Ms. Gibson, who works in health care marketing, is president of the Linwood Holton Elementary PTA, where the oldest of her two children is a student.

She received 3,305 votes, or 45.7 percent of the ballots cast, beating three others to fill the unexpired term of Jeff Bourne, who was elected to the House of Delegates in February.

Ms. Gibson’s closest competitor was Cindy Menz-Erb, who was appointed by the School Board in March to fill the seat until Tuesday’s special election.

Ms. Menz-Erb received 1,979 votes, or 27.3 percent of the total cast, while Joann

Henry finished with 1,373 votes, or 18.9 percent, and Dorian O. Daniels received 215 votes or 2.9 percent of the total.

Kevin A. Starlings, who bowed out of the race after the ballots were printed, received 338 votes.

Ms. Gibson Both Ms. Gibson and Dr. Henry were among the 12 finalists who sought the board’s interim appointment in March.

Ms. Gibson will be sworn in 9 a.m.

Thursday, Nov. 9, in the School Board’s room on City Hall’s 17th floor.

When contacted Tuesday night, Ms. Gibson, 43, referred the Free Press to a message posted on her Facebook campaign page.

“We could not be more thankful for the incredible display of community we’ve witnessed this election,” her post states.

“You have shared with us, in a million ways, a single message: this community wants the best for every last one of our kids.”

During the campaign, Ms. Gibson, a New England native and graduate of the College of William & Mary and Yale said she believes education is a civil right. She said she will advocate for more funding for public education, as well as additional support for high-risk and underprivileged students.

“This election is the first step of many, but it is an important first step,” her post continued. “Together we’ve affirmed we believe in the power of grassroots movements, and we’ve shown that teachers and parents — united — have a powerful voice in the face of the status quo.”

New city treasurer plans expanded role for office

By Ronald E. Carrington

“I feel very grateful, very humbled and honored to put on this mantle to serve. The people have spoken,” Nichole Ona R. Armstead said Wednesday after outpacing two opponents in the election for Richmond treasurer.

Ms. Armstead will start a four-year term in the constitutional office, which carries an annual salary of $90,000.

The certified project manager and daughter of former Richmond City Councilman Henry W. “Chuck” Richardson will succeed Eunice M. Wilder, who is retiring after nearly 25 years in the post.

Ms. Armstead, the Democratic Party nominee, won 28,655 votes, or 47 percent of the total cast, to edge out independent challenger Michelle R. Mosby, a former president of Richmond City Council, who garnered 24,626 votes or 40.4 percent of the total.

Independent candidate L. Shirley Harvey, a former Richmond City Council representative, received 6,642 votes, nearly 11 percent of the total.

“My plans are definitely to make the Treasurer’s Office a city treasure,” Ms. Armstead told the Free Press. “I really want it to be a place that really has value and provides resources in Richmond.

“I want to reach and deal with the disparity with our youths, to encourage them that they can dream again, that jobs are attainable for them and to educate them financially,” Ms. Armstead Ms. Armstead has extensive experience in finance with a 19-year professional background in the banking industry, including experience in IT procurement, asset management and process improvement at the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond.

“When you think about the Treasurer’s Office you think about money. I want to help in that vein to empower and educate our community to champion their own finances,” she said.

Currently, the office’s only duties include collecting overdue state taxes, selling hunting and fishing licenses, paying Richmond jurors, notarizing documents and helping people fill out tax forms.

Ms. Armstead campaigned on using the office to help Richmonders achieve financial literacy.

Richmond has more poverty than the surrounding counties, Ms. Armstead noted. As treasurer, she said she wants her office to be a catalyst in helping citizens make their dollars work through programs addressing economic disparity while developing functional skills to improve their standard of living.

“I see an opportunity to minimize that financial gap. Our youths, along with adults, are a part of that strategy in being victorious with their finances,” Ms. Armstead said.

Stoney’s endorsements rejected in 2 local contests

Center right, Benjamin Hermerding, vice president of the Metro Richmond Area Young Democrats, talks with Robert Dandridge, center left, during the organization’s election night party at a Richmond restaurant. Mr. Dandridge, who lost his right to vote years ago as a juvenile offender, voted for the first time in Tuesday’s election. His rights were restored

by Gov. Terry McAuliffe.

Less than a year after taking office, Richmond Mayor Levar M. Stoney appears to be slipping a bit in his influence among city voters based on the results of Tuesday’s elections.

Voters in Richmond’s 3rd District, for example, rejected his choice for the district’s School Board seat, Cindy Menz-Erb, and went with another candidate.

Voters citywide also overwhelmingly passed an referendum he opposed that calls for the mayor to develop a fully funded plan to modernize city schools.

Mayor Stoney did not respond to a Free Press request for comment.

Since taking office on Dec. 31, 2016, Mayor Stoney has faced a City Council willing to impose limits on his ability to control the budget. In recent months, the council has voted to create new reserve funds to designate how surplus funds left over from last year’s budget are to be spent.

Boulevard redevelopment project remains stalled

By Jeremy M. Lazarus

It was supposed to be a slam-dunk way for Richmond to generate hundreds of new jobs and millions of dollars in new property and sales tax revenue.

All City Hall had to do was clear away the old city and school operations from 60 acres on the Boulevard, and taxpayers were told that big-money developers would swarm the area to build new offices, apartments and retail stores.

Predictions were that the property could generate at least $300 million in investment as it’s being transformed over 15 years into places to live, work and shop.

But six years and at least $19 million in taxpayer spending later, redevelopment of the property remains stalled, with plenty of cleared acres and nothing to show for the investment.

At least three more years could pass, and possibly more, before anything happens at what appears increasingly to be another white elephant for the city.

There are still expensive and unresolved issues involving the property. Topping the list: Relocating The Diamond baseball stadium where the minor league Richmond Flying Squirrels play to mostly suburban crowds. The key parcel with parking occupies more than 12 acres.

That relocation, too, remains stalled since former Mayor Dwight C. Jones’ plan to build a replacement ballpark in Shockoe Bottom was booed out of existence.

While the city could boot the team, tear down the ballpark and put the land bounded by Hermitage and Robin Hood roads in the hands of one of the national firms that has expressed interest, the current mayor, former mayors and City Council members have chosen not to do so.

It is possible that could happen if Amazon somehow selected Richmond as the site for its second headquarters.

The city has offered the site to the company for its proposed office megalopolis that would serve up to 50,000 employees.

But Richmond is just one of 200 cities competing for the Amazon nod, and its site does not fully meet the company’s criteria.

Otherwise, City Hall appears content to wait to find out if the Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Department is going to move its offices and central warehouse from the 22 acres at Hermitage and Robin Hood roads just east of The Diamond.

If the agency moves, then its current site would become available for construction of a new stadium, enabling the city to clear away The Diamond and possibly begin the redevelopment that was envisioned in 2007 and that the city began spending on to make happen in 2012.

However, even if the ABC Department moves — and the ABC Department is pressing to make it happen — no one has yet answered the question of who would pay for a new ballpark that could cost $60 million.

Virginia Commonwealth University and the Flying Squirrels, the Double A affiliate of the San

Francisco Giants, inked a deal last year while former Mayor Jones was still in office to work together to create a new stadium on the ABC site.

Now Mayor Levar M. Stoney, who has acknowledged that he sat in on the negotiations, has indicated that the city could participate in a stadium development only if the city’s neighbors, Henrico, Chesterfield and possibly Hanover, provide an equal amount for the project.

Even then, it is not certain City Council would have an appetite for using Richmond’s limited bond capacity to back stadium construction, given the array of other unmet needs, including school construction, street paving, park improve-

ments and sidewalk approve the ABC construction.

renewing its call for permission to build larger, modern quarters, and indicating that it had found six still-undisclosed potential sites in the Richmond area that could provide the space. The report confirmed a previous study — the ABC operations need to move.

“All reviews concluded that new construction provides the most cost effective and efficient means for growth,” the report stated. Building a new headquarters is a better option than expanding at the current site or leasing space, the report found.

If the legislature balks again, the ABC could act on its own.

The independent agency is expected to become even more independent next year when it is transformed into an

authority, and could arrange for a private entity to build and take a long-term lease on the new space without legislative permission.

However, Travis Hill, the ABC’s chief operating officer, stated the agency would work with the governor and committees in the state House and Senate to put together a budget and timetable for the project.

Even if all goes well, Mr. Hill and other officials indicated it would be 2021 at the earliest before a new building would be ready.

That means that the Boulevard space is likely to stay empty for years to come, tantalizing residents and their elected leaders with possibilities that are still far from becoming reality.

Yes, Virginia, we did it!

Virginians are celebrating today, and we are, too.

The reason for our joy?

The tsunami-like victory of Democrats Ralph S. Northam, Justin E. Fairfax and Mark R. Herring for governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general, respectively.

In January, when the 2018 Virginia General Assembly convenes, Democrats not only will hold the state’s top offices for another four years, the House of Delegates will be run by a more Democratic and diverse group of representatives.

Virginians turned out at the polls to elect the first Latino, Asian-American and transgender women — all Democrats — to serve in the legislature.

Winning as many as 15 new seats in the 100-member House, Democrats now have wrenched away from the Republicans total domination of the chamber.

With a new Democratic governor, progressive legislation now has a chance of passage, including expansion of health care to 400,000 uninsured Virginians, tighter background checks and gun control measures, increased support for public education and a possible boost of the state’s minimum wage from the current $7.25 an hour.

We are proud of the message sent by Virginians to observers across the nation — that the commonwealth is a progressive state that embraces the talents, contributions and humanity of all people, and we won’t sit idle when politicians attempt to carry us back.

This election is a potent reminder to all of the power of the vote and the change we can generate by casting our ballot.

Republican gubernatorial candidate Ed Gillespie and his GOP ticket mates Jill H. Vogel and John Adams ran their campaigns to the dog whistle of racist and anti-immigrant fear-mongering and pledges to turn back the clock on women’s reproductive health rights, voting rights and justice issues.

Virginians rejected their divisive, regressive platforms and policies, and instead voted for the candidates who will continue to move the commonwealth and all of its citizens forward.

For the first time in the year since Republican Donald Trump’s election as president, we can breathe a little easier because Virginia now may have a fighting chance to beat back the detrimental right wing measures coming out of Washington.

Today we celebrate, but tomorrow the real work begins.

We urge the joyful to remain vigilant, to ensure that the candidates we have elected live up to their promises to work for equity, justice and fairness for all.

Local elections We congratulate Sheriff-elect Antionette V. Irving, Treasurer-elect Nichole Richardson Armstead, Commonwealth’s Attorney Michael N. Herring and new 3rd District School Board member Kenya Gibson who won Tuesday’s local elections.

Dr. Irving, Ms. Armstead and Ms. Gibson each ran admirable campaigns, with messages that appealed to a majority of the voters.

Now each must work to transform their campaign vision and promises into reality.

We — and the people of Richmond — will be watching as Dr. Irving and Ms. Gibson take over the reins of leadership in two extremely critical roles in our city — Dr. Irving running the city jail and working with incarcerated individuals and their families, and Ms. Gibson working as part of the nine-member School Board to craft education policy and practice affecting more than 24,000 public schools students.

We also will watch to see if Ms. Armstead revamps the office of city treasurer into a space of advocacy and provider of financial literacy to Richmond residents, as she outlined during her campaign.

Voters also returned Mr. Herring to office as the city’s chief prosecutor for a fourth, four-year term.

To the four: Richmond voters have given you their trust by giving you their vote. We hope you will live up to that trust and serve the people well. Again, we will be watching.

Souls2enroll: Black church and the ACA For all of this administration’s efforts to kill — as in “repeal and replace” — the Affordable Care Act, it is still the law of the land, and still available — and required.

However, since 45 and his team have declared it all but dead, they have shortened the enrollment period from three months to a mere six weeks — from Nov. 1 to Dec. 15.

Additionally, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has drastically cut the budget for outreach. This time last year, there were television and radio announcements, billboards on buses and other reminders that people should enroll for health care if they don’t get health care from their job.

This administration hopes that, without outreach, people will not enroll for care so that they can then crow that people don’t want health care.

But some faith leaders have pledged to use their pulpits to remind their congregations to enroll in a health care plan. Dr. Barbara Williams Skinner, the first executive director of the Congressional Black Caucus, an activist who melds faith with public policy and a spiritual adviser to many black leaders, has developed a toolkit for communi-

ties of faith to help them do the work that our government won’t in encouraging people to enroll in affordable health care.

The effort has a title, #SOULS TOENROLL, or #SOULS2 ENROLL, a Facebook Page, www.Facebook.com/FaithiPublicLife, a toolkit adopted from the government page, www.

GetAmericaCovered.org, a

Julianne Malveaux campaign that will begin Sunday, Nov. 12, suggestions for faith leaders, a sample church bulletin announcement and social media tips. The faith community is being encouraged to treat health care enrollment like any other grassroots organizing campaign and get involved in it.

Back in the day before social media, we used to talk about “the drum” or the ways we shared information in the black community. Lots of our radio stations, or programs, were called “the drum” because they were our ways of sharing information.

Now faith leaders are taking the drum viral to ensure that people who don’t get the word because of lack of government outreach will get it through churches and through the internet.

We will rely on these methods of communicating more and more as this administration attempts to contract — not expand — the information people need to get essential health care and

other services. The toolkit and other resources are proof that our community has the ability to out organize the evil that is seeping out of Washington.

“Woke” members of Congress are working with Dr. Skinner and others to get the word out — Congressman Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., had a public service announcement posted on his website before the enrollment period opened. Other members of Congress also have posted information on their websites.

Once upon a time we could mobilize. Without any internet, 250,000 people managed to get to the nation’s capital for the March on Washington on Aug. 28, 1963. Mimicking that effort, and using both word of mouth and the internet, more than a million women made it to Washington for the post-inaugural Women’s March in January. Now we have the opportunity to rally millions to participate in benefits of the Affordable Care Act. There are consequences to not enrolling. If you don’t enroll by Dec. 15, you may have to wait a whole year before getting access to affordable health care and the subsidies available under ACA. You also may have to pay a fine for not enrolling.

Helping people enroll for ACA benefits is not only a public service, it is also an act of resistance to 45’s pernicious attempts to undermine former President Obama’s signature piece of legislation. To be sure,

Fannie Lou Hamer remembered “You can pray until you faint, but unless you get up and do something, God is not going to put it in your lap.” – FANNIE LOU HAMER At a time when the right to vote is being threatened, we look for inspiration in the lives of those who fought most valiantly to extend and protect that right. This fall we recognize the 100th anniversary of one of our greatest champions, Fannie Lou Hamer.

Born to a family of sharecroppers in rural Mississippi, she was forced at the age of 13 from her one-room schoolhouse into the cotton fields. She was forced off the plantation where she worked when the owner found out she had tried to register to vote.

She was blocked from actually registering, however, by Mississippi’s notorious racially discriminatory literacy test. At that time, black voters not only had to prove they could read, but also had to compose an essay analyzing a portion of the U.S. Constitution to the satisfaction of a white registrar. White applicants were exempt from such requirements under so-called

“grandfather clauses.”

Her willingness to challenge the registrar and demand she be alone to fill out an application attracted the attention of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, which hired her as a field organizer.

The beating she suffered in

Marc H. Morial 1963 in jail as a result of her activism left her with permanent injuries to her kidneys, eyes and legs.

While her work with SNCC raised her public profile, it was as a founder of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party that she gained national celebrity.

The party selected 64 delegates to send to the 1964 Democratic National Convention, and Ms. Hamer was elected vice chair of the delegation. Ms. Hamer’s powerfully moving testimony to the credentials committee was broadcast on national television, drawing attention to the humiliations and violence visited upon black Americans in the South who tried to vote.

The work of Ms. Hamer and others led to the passage of the federal Voting Rights Act in 1965. It placed restrictions and oversight on states with a history of discrimination — Alabama, Alaska, Georgia, Louisiana,

South Carolina, Virginia and Ms. Hamer’s home state of Mississippi — and certain jurisdictions in other states, requiring the approval of the federal government for any election law changes.

In 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act, ruling that “pre-clearance” no longer was necessary. States wasted no time in proving the Supreme Court wrong. Within two months, North Carolina passed racially discriminatory voting restrictions that later were struck down in federal court.

Overall, 23 states have passed restrictive voting laws.

Meanwhile, the White House has established a sham commission to perpetuate the myth of widespread voter fraud. The commission is a weapon of mass deception, a Trojan horse to usher in even greater voting restrictions on people of color, the poor, senior citizens and students.

Despite her worsening health, complicated by a lifetime spent in poverty and the beating she suffered in jail, Ms. Hamer spent her life battling racism and poverty. It would be a disgrace to her memory if we did not make every effort to defeat the effort to restrict voting rights.

ACA is not perfect, but it is responsible for expanding the base of people who can get affordable health insurance.

This example of faith in action may be a template for other ways to use the church to organize resistance.

Novelist Daniel Black recently gave a talk in which he described our churches as the backbone of the black community. Disagree with your pastor or with the sermon if you will, he said, but still get to church for the sense of community that can only be found there.

While the black church is less impactful than it was in 1963 when most of us could be reached through church announcements, it is still a place where we gather and share information.

National Slave Memorial may help ‘contextualize’ Confederate statues

The push to dismantle Confederate statues became a simmering crucible in the Virginia gubernatorial race. This is no surprise as the state had an outsized role in the Civil War and the subsequent century-long American apartheid from 1865 to the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

However, the divisiveness of this binary code — remove/do not remove — is not an immutable destiny. There is, at least in Virginia, a viable alternative. The United States is long overdue in creating a National Slave Memorial. A proposal for a shrine has been languishing in Congress since 2003. Should legislators ever advance the idea, trending logic tends to put it on the Mall in Washington, D.C. That would be a mistake.

Just as Germany’s Holocaust Memorial is

in Berlin, so must America’s recognition of its own chapter of racist fanaticism be placed in the city that waged a war devoted to its perpetuation. The National Slave Memorial must be in the former capital of the Confederacy — Richmond.

This presents a unique opportunity to both sides of the argument surrounding Confederate statues. Richmond is the only locality where adding, instead of erasing — so-called “contextualizing” — can be made to work. It’s an unwieldy concept for the hundreds of towns and cities where 1,500 Confederate statues disgrace courthouse entryways and public squares. But if city and state legislators secure federal support, this option could result in historic compromise that fosters healing.

Public pressure needed to address upgrades for school buildings I’m thoroughly disappointed that Richmond School Board actiontoaddresstheemergencyneeds of schools facilities has stalled.

The School Board made promises to the George Mason Elementary community for a new school earlier this year.

And interim Richmond Schools Superintendent Thomas E. Kranz has long called for action to address emergency concerns at Greene Elementary, ElkhardtThompson Middle and George Wythe High schools in South Side.

In September, Mayor Levar M. Stoney promised to fund the first phase of school improvements once the School Board provided a plan, and it was vetted through the Educational Compact, which includes the mayor, Richmond citizens and members of the City Council and School Board.

But as of yet, nothing has happened.

Nothing will happen unless residents act soon. Major items to be funded when the budget is adopted in the spring are being decided now.

Time is running short, which is why the School Board must move quickly to endorse a priority list of schools facilities to address emergency needs

and make appointments to the Educational Compact.

This is no time to slow-walk the process.

Richmond’s Monument Avenue is a majestic stretch of public parkway composed of old world cobblestone and verdant median that’s comparable to the Champs-Élysées in Paris. Regrettably, it also houses deification of southerners who fought to destroy the United States, including Confederate President Jefferson Davis, and Generals Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson and J.E.B. Stuart. While 2 miles of the avenue received landmark status in 1970, that’s not a shield of invulnerability against removal. But instead of dismantling the monuments, the addition of a National Slave Memorial could justify their preservation by rendering them components within a wider historical context. The idea is to turn this remarkable stretch into an outdoor museum of American self-examination.

Should it happen, the Confederate gasconades could then convey an aesthetic meaning precisely opposite their original intent. They were erected between 1890 and 1919 as grand equestrian symbols designed to project one self-evident purpose — militant celebration of segregation. Once modified, instead of racist defiance, their wider meaning would be transformed into defiance of racism. If handled properly, the metaphor of this future 2-mile long slave memorial would end this long-lived vestige of institutional bigotry.

Such a project will require tenacious commitment and bravery from many in Washington and Richmond. Once initiated, it must be

done in a manner commensurate with its great purpose. Make it big. Create all necessary space. Spend real money. Hire qualified artists. Then construct a National Slave Memorial allowing visitors to experience history at an emotional level, as they now do, by walking into, and out of, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington and the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin, Germany.

For anyone familiar with the consumptive harm of racial inequality, or who otherwise possesses an honest grasp of history, this would be a great symbol of recognition and apology. It also would be a message that humble honesty can still exist in the face of conspicuous dishonesty, presently having its day in Washington.

And it truly can happen. As the great French writer Victor Hugo said, “There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world, and that is an idea whose time has come.” He was right. Demonstrating to future generations that Americans in the early 21st century finally came to understand the hateful symbolism of these monuments is an idea whose time has come, regardless of who becomes the next governor of Virginia.

Further, the Company requests approval of an annual update to continue two rate adjustment clauses, Riders C1A and C2A, for the July 1, 2018, through June 30, 2019 rate year (“2018 Rate Year”) for recovery of: (i) 2018 Rate Year costs associated with its Phase II, Phase III, Phase IV, Phase V and Phase VI programs approved by the Commission in prior cases; (ii) calendar year 2016 true-up of costs associated with the Company’s approved Phase II, Phase III, Phase IV, and Phase V programs; and (iii) 2018 Rate Year costs and calendar year 2016 true up costs associated with the Company’s Electric Vehicle Pilot Program, which was approved by the Commission in Case No. PUE-2011-00014.

For Rider C1A, Dominion requests a total revenue requirement of $446,738. For Rider C2A, Dominion requests a total revenue requirement of $30,619,603.

Dominion states that it is not seeking recovery of lost revenues related to energy efficiency programs at this time; however, the Company further states that it is not waiving any right to seek such lost revenues in future proceedings for the 2018 Rate Year.

If the proposed Riders C1A and C2A for the 2018 Rate Year are approved, the impact on customer bills would depend on the customer’s rate schedule and usage.

Interested persons are encouraged to review the Petition and supporting documents for the details of these and other proposals.

VUU Panthers upended in exhibition game against VCU Rams

James Haskins/Richmond Free Press

Virginia Commonwealth University’s De’Riante Jenkins, right, goes up for a shot over the Virginia Union University defense.

College basketball preseason exhibitions are more about evaluating talent than the numbers on the scoreboard.

In the final tune-up before the games really count, Virginia Commonwealth University used the home-floor advantage and a ferocious press to upend Virginia Union University 98-74 last Friday at the Siegel Center.

Here’s some of what the coaches learned about their rosters: VCU needs a wide body to replace Mo Alie-Cox in the middle and may have found him in Khris Lane.

VUU needs someone to step up and become a marquee attraction following the loss of CIAA Player of the Year Ray Anderson. The Panthers might have him in Kory Cooley.

Alie-Cox gave VCU a formidable presence on the low post before signing an NFL contract with the Indianapolis Colts.

Lane, at 6-foot-6, 255 pounds, is simi-

Now it counts Virginia Commonwealth University officially will commence its first basketball season under Coach Mike Rhoades on Friday, Nov. 10, when Grambling State University out of Louisiana comes to the Siegel Center.

Tipoff: 7 p.m.

Virginia Union University, starting its third season under Coach Jay Butler, will travel to Shippensburg, Pa., to play Lock Haven University at 6 p.m. Friday, Nov. 10, and Shippensburg University at 8 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 11, in the Wolf Bus Lines Classic.

lar in size to Alie-Cox and has perhaps a bit more pizzazz on the offense. Lane had 21 points, eight rebounds and three blocked shots in the game against the VUU Panthers.

Also, Lane extends VCU’s “Benedictine

East” label. With brothers Brad (20082012) and Jordan Burgess (2012-2017), the Rams enjoyed a long-time presence of an ex-Cadet in their lineup.

Lane, a transfer from Longwood University where he led the Lancers in scoring and rebounding, continues that local tradition.

VUU needs someone to fill the void left by Anderson, who averaged 20 points during his junior and senior years combined and finished with nearly 2,000 points.

Cooley, a transfer from the University of District of Columbia, netted 19 points and passed for five assists against the VCU Rams and is a preseason AllCIAA pick.

The Panthers couldn’t handle VCU’s relentless defense, with the Panthers committing 23 turnovers, 16 of which were VCU steals. Many led to quick scores, hyping up an already rowdy crowd at the Siegel Center.

Personality: Rodney A. Robinson Spotlight on RPS 2018 Teacher of the Year History, dedication, duty and fulfilling the dream of his mother paved the way for Rodney A. Robinson to become Richmond Public Schools 2018 Teacher of the Year.

The 39-year-old son of a construction worker and an in-home day care center owner teaches history and social studies at the Virgie Binford Education Center, which is part of the Richmond Juvenile Detention Center.

“My mother wanted to become a teacher,” he recalls.

“However, growing up in segregated King and Queen County, she was denied her goal and dream.

“She was my best teacher.

She always pushed me, my siblings and other children under her care to further their education. She also taught me that you’re never too old or young to learn something. I’ve always felt it was my duty to fulfill her dream.”

Mr. Robinson’s first teaching job was in 2000 when he was a civics and economics teacher at Lucille Brown Middle School.

Since then, he has put to use the early lessons from his mother in working with students, including the unique population of students in juvenile detention that he has worked with since 2015.

“All students can learn,” he says. “It is up to the stakeholders of the school to provide the students with all the tools they may need to learn.”

He views the student-teacher relationship as the “most important tool” in fostering academic success.

“You have to get to know the students inside and outside of the school — what makes them tick and what they like to do. If the child doesn’t feel like you genuinely care about their interests other than what they do on a test, then they will not perform for you the way they need to.”

He incorporates fun into lessons, he said, to engage students and help them to learn and retain information.

“The more difficult the concept or topic, the more fun I try to make it,” Mr. Robinson says. “When students are entertained, learning can rarely feel like learning. Through the use of games and music, student learning can be dramatically increased. I allow my students to create songs, skits and poems to help them better understand difficult concepts.”

His data-proven, best practices to invigorate learning are working.

At a ceremony Nov. 2 at a Downtown hotel, Mr. Robinson was announced as RPS’ 2018 Teacher of the Year. He was selected by a committee of teachers based on his innovative classroom instruction, individual student performance and his demonstrated dedication to the profession.

“I was shocked and surprised,” Mr. Robinson says, “but honored to be considered one of the best teachers in the state.”

Education does not begin nor end in the classroom, he says. His volunteer work coaching and officiating sports also helps him “to create a bond with students, parents and community stakeholders that I use in the classroom to promote student motivation and achievement.

“I try to be a role model and someone my kids can rely on as they look for advice or anything that they need,” Mr. Robinson says. “Some need fatherly figures and some just need friends. I’m there to be whatever they need.”

He also views volunteer work as helping students understand the need to give back to the community and how to become engaged.

“The students have done voter registration drives, volunteered for different political parties and candidates, worked in the Boys and Girls Clubs,” he

says, and helped with cleanup efforts at historical cemeteries in the area and the former Lumpkin’s Jail site in Shockoe Bottom, a former slave pen that became the 1867 home of the forerunner of Virginia Union University.

“This encourages students to be civically active by becoming more involved so that they can take control and give back while not letting anyone come in and take over their community.

The key thing is they have that life experiences that they can learn from.”

Many of his former students, he says, are now running their own community programs.

“Their success is my success and joy.”

Meet the Richmond Public Schools 2018 Teacher of the Year and this week’s Personality, Rodney A. Robinson: Latest accomplishment: Richmond Public Schools 2018 Teacher of the Year.

Date and place of birth: Sept.

9 in Richmond.

Current residence: North Chesterfield.

Alma maters: Bachelor’s degree in history, Virginia State University, 2000; master’s in educational administration and supervision, Virginia Commonwealth University, 2011.

Family: Wife, Summer Robinson.

Occupation: Social studies department head, Virgie Binford Education Center.

How long I’ve been a teacher: 18 years.

Community involvement: I volunteer coach and officiate Little League, middle and high school sporting events in the East End community. I also participate in and support East End booster clubs and community activities. I was recognized for my service to the East End community by winning the Veterans of Foreign Wars National Citizenship Education Post Recognition Award. As an active member of Richmond’s historical preservation community, I have led panels and discussions on how the city should promote and remember its past. I have participated in preserving the community through preservation projects

such as cleaning local cemeteries. My historical appreciation for this city has driven me to give historical tours to education groups traveling through the city.

Foremost reward of teaching: The biggest reward for me is watching students learn and succeed. I have students who passed a formative assessment for the first time and students who are doctors and lawyers, and my joy for them all is the same. The relationships I form with them allow me to understand their hopes, fears, pain and struggle.

Therefore, their success is my success and joy.

Foremost challenge: The biggest challenge in education is trying not to let the outside world affect learning in your classroom. A teacher has to create a safe and nurturing environment that allows the student to feel comfortable to learn.

Advice to aspiring teachers: Always be professional and a lifelong learner. Never let the politics of education destroy you and your students’ excitement for learning.

Role of parents in learning process: Parents are your partners in the learning process.

They know their children better than anybody, and it is the job of the teacher to get to know and understand each parent in order to learn how each student learns and functions in school and life.

Biggest problem facing students today: The abundance and availability of information and “fake news” in the world.

How this problem impacts schoolwork: Information,without the ability to process and understand, leads to confusion and bad decisions that can have a negative effect on a student’s life.

What needs to be done: Educators need to teach critical thinking skills earlier to allow students to understand information and to make better informed decisions.

Does technology make teaching easier or difficult?

Technology can complicate education if you are not teaching students to properly use it.

A good teacher is: A constant advocate for what is best for his or her students, regardless of the professional and personal consequences.

A good student is: One who is willing to ask questions and seek knowledge without the fear of being judged for asking.

Favorite subjects in school: Band and math.

How I start the day: I start every day with a positive message with my students and co-workers to set the mood for learning.

A perfect day for me is: When I am exhausted from teaching and inspiring.

Something I love to do that most people would never imagine: Water aerobics classes at the YMCA. Kindergarten taught me: Believe but always verify for yourself, and never be afraid to ask questions, even if those questions are unpopular.

A quote that I am inspired by: “I am the number one determinant of my student’s success or failure” — Principal Baruti K. Kafele How I unwind: Watching silly TV shows and bad movies.

The top of my “to do” list is: Complete my book on advice for new and aspiring teachers.

Persons who influenced me the most: My parents, Elmore, who died in 2012, and Sylvia Robinson.

Book that influenced me the most: “Closing the Attitude Gap: How to Fire Up your Students to Strive for Success” and “Motivating Black Males to Achieve in School and Life,” both by Baruti K. Kafele.

What I’m reading now: “Brain Rules: 12 Principles for Surviving and Thriving at Work, Home and School” by John Medina.

Next goal: To complete my doctorate in educational administration.

Happenings Lighting up the city Broad Street is electric with light and creativity during InLight Richmond, an evening exhibition of projects that illuminated buildings, walls and sidewalks in Downtown last Friday. More than 20 artists and teams put together the lighted sculptures, videos, performances and other projects during the 10th annual outdoor show sponsored by the 1708 Gallery between 1st and Henry streets on Broad Street. Left, a spectator checks out “Union”

by Younan Ghebrial and Ian Hess, that combines wood, papyrus, acrylic glow in the dark paint and black lights. Right, passersby enjoy “Electric Carnival” by Todd Berreth, Lee Cherry, Patrick Fitzgerald and Emil Polyak, which was projected on a wall at Madison and Broad streets. Below left, lanterns decorated by participants hang on a fence before the event’s Lantern Parade.

Salacious FBI file on Dr. King shows extent to which agency tried to discredit him Free Press staff, wire report

A newly released secret FBI dossier on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. alleges that the noted civil rights leader was “a slow thinker” who had ties to the Community Party, used the Southern Christian Leadership Council as “a tax dodge,” and engaged in a string of extramarital affairs and sex orgies that produced a love child.

The 20-page document, dated just three weeks before the civil rights leader’s assassination in April 1968 in Memphis, Tenn., was released Friday, Nov. 3, with a batch of FBI documents related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

President Kennedy is not referenced in the file, and it is not clear why the King document was kept secret for almost 50 years.

There also is no evidence that the claims in the document were verified. Instead, it makes clear the FBI’s focus under the late director J. Edgar Hoover was to dig up dirt on a man who had become an icon in this nation.

Mr. Hoover had authorized an extensive surveillance program on Dr. King in the 1960s. It was part of the FBI’s larger domestic counterintelligence program, which was the subject of great criticism in hindsight and resulted in many reforms.

Several King scholars have debunked the allegations in media reports throughout last weekend, saying many are neither new or true.

“When we look closely at this, what we see is that there is a

person who is trying his best to damage Martin Luther King’s reputation,” said Clayborne Carson, director of the Martin Luther King Jr. Research and Education Institute and a Stanford University history professor, referring to Mr. Hoover.

“The number one thing I’ve learned in 40 years of doing this is just because you see it in a top-secret document, just because someone said it to the FBI, doesn’t mean it’s all accurate,” said

Dr. King

Mr. Hoover

David Garrow, a Pulitzer Prize-winning author and historian who has written extensively about Dr. King.

One allegation, that Dr. King had a mistress in California with whom he fathered a child, was attributed to “a very responsible Los Angeles individual in a position to know.”

Among its other accusations are that: • Dr. King was surrounded by advisers with strong links to the Communist Party USA.

• His statements were always subject to approval by the alleged communist sympathizers.

• He was a secret supporter of communism, “a whole-hearted Marxist.”

• The SCLC, which he founded, was set up as a “tax dodge” to raise funds for its activities.

• Dr. King took part in “drunken sex orgies” and coerced young women to participate.

• He had affairs with at least four women, including folk singer Joan Baez.

The document alleges that Dr. King and the SCLC were heavily influenced by Stanley Levison, a lawyer and businessman who financed the Communist Party USA for years.

The dossier tries to tie Dr. King to the Communist Party through Mr. Levison even though Mr. Levison had left the party years before he met Dr. King. It insists that Dr. King’s Poor People’s Campaign was related to a secret communist agenda without offering any solid evidence.

The March 12, 1968, FBI file also questions whether Dr. King should have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964.

It concludes: “These facts about the Nobel Peace Prize winner make his remarks seem incongruous when he replied after winning this cherished award, ‘History has thrust me into this position. It would be immoral and a sign of ingratitude if i did not face my moral responsibility to do what I can in the civil rights struggle.’

Justice walk Colorful signs that read “Keep Kids Free” and “#PrisonsDontWork” are carried by young people of Richmond to bring awareness to the school-to-prison pipeline during last Friday’s 3rd Annual Juvenile Justice Parade in Downtown. Artists, community activists, faith leaders and formerly incarcerated individuals marched in solidarity to protest the placement of youths in lock-up instead of community-based alternatives. The parade, hosted by ART 180 and the Legal Aid Justice Center, concluded at ATLAS, ART 180’s youth gallery, 114 W. Marshall St. in Jackson Ward. The gallery is showcasing “My Reality,” a virtual reality installation created by teens affected by Richmond’s juvenile justice system.

Va. Christian Alliance hosts program on impact of technology The Virginia Christian Alliance is sponsoring a seminar, “Digital Cocaine: A Journey Toward iBalance,” at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 9, at Bon Air Baptist Church, 2531 Buford Road.

The seminar seeks to address the impact of electronic technology, such as cell phones, games and tablets, on users and their brains.

Brad Huddleston, author of “The Dark Side of Technology,” will speak.

“This is not an anti-technology message,” Mr.

Huddleston said. “But it is critical that people understand how to use technology so that it doesn’t end up using them.”

The seminar is designed for parents, teachers and teens and will include topics such as multitasking, brain rewiring, attention deficits and video gaming.

Cost: $5.

Lea, Leonard among ‘legends’ to be honored by CIAA Sherman Lea and George Leonard have gained CIAA football “legend” status.

Lea, a former Virginia Union University lineman, and Leonard, a former Virginia State University ball carrier, will be honored as Legends of the CIAA during a ceremony prior to the CIAA football championship game Saturday, Nov. 11, in Salem.

The ceremony is part of the CIAA’s 125th anniversary of black college football.

Lea, who is now mayor of Roanoke, played under VUU Coach Willard Bailey. In 1973, Lea helped the Panthers to their first CIAA title in 50 years.

Leonard, a Petersburg native, held VSU’s career rushing record from 1979 until this season, when it was broken by Trenton “Boom” Cannon.

Other “Legends” to be honored on Saturday: Isaac Redman, Bowie State University; Robert Holland, Chowan University; Johnnie Walton, Elizabeth City State University; Bryan Holliday, Fayetteville State University; Bruce Duke, Johnson C. Smith University; Leo Lewis, Lincoln University; Robert Headen, St. Augustine’s University; Darnell Evans, Shaw University; and Anthony Blaylock, Winston-Salem State University.

Sadly, absent from this impressive list are standouts from former CIAA institutions in Virginia — Norfolk State University, Hampton University and the former St. Paul’s College.

Also not included is former CIAA member Morgan State University, alma mater of linebacker extraordinaire Willie Lanier.

Morgan State, Hampton and NSU now are affiliated with MEAC. Morgan State was a CIAA member from 1929 to 1970. A Richmond native, Lanier helped the Bears to CIAA titles in 1965 and 1966. He went on to earn NFL Hall of Fame distinction.

Later in the race, the Funk Brothers will be performing at Lombardy Street and Admiral Avenue, the race’s 23.5-mile mark; Lombardy Street at the Maggie Walker Governor’s School, 24.1-mile mark; and finally at Third and Franklin streets, the 25.6-mile mark.

Springer wins World Series MVP honors

In the 113th World Series, George Springer III had more hits than almost any other slugger in the previous 112 fall classics.

As the lone African-American playing a significant role in this year’s World Series, Springer led the Houston Astros to their first ever Series title, nipping the Los Angeles Dodgers four games to three.

Houston wrapped it up Wednesday, Nov. 1, with a 5-1 win in Los Angeles with Springer, as usual, walloping a telling blow — a two-run, 438-foot, secondinning homer.

It was likely the most impressive showing by a man named George since George Herman Ruth, aka “The Babe,” showed off his long-ball prowess in the 1920s and 1930s.

Here are some of the achievements of Springer, the Astros’ 28-year-old, centerfielder/leadoff hitter from New Britain, Conn.: • Hit five Series homers, tying the record held by Reggie Jackson (1977) and Chase Utley (2009).

• Set the record with homers in four straight games.

• Set the record of 29 total bases, breaking the mark set by Willie Stargell in 1979.
