PDK Highlights the Mission and Youth Initiatives of 100 Black Men of Savannah

Dr. Leroy Zke Zimmerman

The plight of minorities, especially African-American males, is well documented in social, economic, education, and health data of our community and nation. On February 6, 2018, at Southwest Regional Library Auditorium, Phi Delta Kappa International Chapter 1219 presented the opportunity for interested educators and the community to increase their awareness of how the programs and activities of 100 Black Men of Savannah positively impacts the lives of young men. Dr. Leroy Zke Zimmerman. Retired Administrator, Military Colonel and Purple Heart Recipient, who is Immediate Past President of the organization, provided information about the men-

toring, economic empowerment, education, collegiate, and health activities provided for empowering youth to become self-sufficient strong community citizens, leaders, and professionals. Dr. Zimmerman identified specific activities initiated by the 100 Black Men of Savannah, Inc. to address youth competencies in academics, economics, health/ wellness, and leadership. Academic achievements are promoted through programs that extend from elementary to the collegiate level. “Wings” is a comparatively new initiative at the elementary level serving some schools on a weekly basis. “Building Bridges” and “Pathways to Success” serves Middle School students. The “Youth Leadership Academy” serves high school students who either elect or are selected to participate. Students make scheduled contacts at the Middle and high school level twice a month. Currently, the programs on high school level are focused at Johnson and Woodville-Tompkins. The Collegiate 100 is one of the initiatives to serve college students. The four collegiate chapters are

Armstrong State University and Georgia Southern University in addition to Savannah State University Support is provided across disciplines on every level and Collegiate 100 also provides meeting and networking opportunities. Students are recognized for their academic achievements and scholarships are regularly awarded to offset expenses such as tuition, books, and housing. The 22nd Annual Gala being held on April 21, 2018 at the Savannah Marriott Riverfront is the sole fund raiser held annually to support scholarships. A diverse group of professionals are involved in Summer Camps, mentoring, formal dinner dress and etiquette, trips to the capital, and “Courts in Session” to assist in building understanding of how systems work. Applications, volunteer opportunities, sponsorship, and other information are found at info@100blackmenofsavannah.org. Fostering the economic empowerment involves academic preparedness and an experiential approach concentrated at the high school level. An “Economic See PDK-Page 4A

William Harrell

William Harwell examines interfaces in a developmental spacesuit.

Since eighth grade William Harwell, renowned design engineer in Johnson Space Center’s Crew and Thermal Systems Division, knew he wanted to be an aerospace engineer. For more than 30 years, Harwell has been working for JSC—fulfilling his childhood vision of working in the space industry. Harwell’s work has been prolific for NASA, and he even collected patents for his designs of a geometrical vapor blocker (for spacecraft radiators), an apparatus and method of capturing an orbiting spacecraft (Apogee Kick Motor [AKM]capture device) and a magnetic attachment mechanism (for the manipulation of satellites). He is quick to point out that the majority of the work done at NASA is conducted by teams, on which he just does his part—design. “I’ve worked on tools and life support systems for suited astronauts for shuttle and station, thermal systems for spacecraft and a ton of other projects,” Harwell said. His long and prosperous career at NASA started in 1983, when he left the oil industry. Once he got to NASA, he was quickly involved in the retrieval of two satellites that failed to reach geosynchronous orbit. “I didn’t think like NASA people when I first got here,” Harwell said. He used his fresh perspective on the project to design the AKM capture device, which also earned him a patent. That was Harwell’s favorite project.

Sen. Lester Jackson Proposes Name Change for Local Creek Georgia lawmakers want the federal goverment to change the name of a small body of water known as Runaway Negro Creek. For nearly 100 years the creek on Skidaway Island in Chatham County has had the controversial name. During 19th century, slaves were believed to have crossed the creek seeking freedom in the North. The Senate Urban Affairs Committee unanimously advanced a resolution to urge the U.S. Board of Geographic Names to change the creek's name to Freedom Creek. The resolution states that the current name is insensitive and makes it sound like black men and women were acting criminally by seeking freedom.

Sen. Lester Jackson, a Savannah Democrat, states his proposed Senate Resolution 685 has bipartisan support. Jackson’s name change resolution has garnered national and international attention. Sen. Jackson serves as the Second District Senator of Georgia and as chair of the Georgia Legislative Black Caucus.

As a salute to Black History Month and black people, the Southern Black Heritage Village is launching a special survey to ask you, the Savannah black community, a very important question. We have seen our lifestyle of love, respect, unity, and true spirituality decline over the past years. Thus, the question today is, what can be done to bring back the old time black unity lifestyle? The black community

needs something to give us hope. Children are suffering for lack of hope, and our adults cannot give the children this feeling of hope when they too feel hopelessness. The solution as “The Village” sees it, is a special symbol for a people who loves and believes in The Creator, the one who provides ALL answers to ALL problems This Friday, February 23 at 5:00pm, join us at Sheppard’s Citgo, 1302

W. Gwinnett St., to help launch a prideful solution to keeping our children safe, respectful, and alive, as well as keeping our families whole and together. Enjoy an impactful discussion, old time music, refreshments, and a chance to win 2 tickets to see the new black movie “Black Panther.” Come out and be a part of making black lives better.

Editorial

The Second Amendment and White Anxiety

by Oscar H. Blayton There has been yet another school shooting in America. The multiple murders at the Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida mark the 18th school shooting in this nation since the beginning of the year. And once again the only response by elected officials has been to offer “thoughts and prayers” for the victims and their families. News anchors and pundits scratch their heads and ask, “What can be done to fix this?” while ignoring the obvious answer - limit access to guns. If this seems like madness, it’s because it is. This country clearly has a gun problem, a problem that can be solved if we act, as so many countries around the world have done. But we choose not to. Much of the blame for these killings is placed at the feet of the National Rifle Association (NRA), the political behemoth that slides dollars into the pockets of every conservative federal elected official and to many state politicians as well. These “bribes” ensure that conservative politicians will not enact any meaningful legislation that will stop or slow the flow of guns, even into the hands of the criminally insane. But the NRA could not exist without a culture in this country that places a higher priority on the right to gun ownership than on the lives of school children. The main question then becomes, “How did this madness come to dictate America’s priorities?” In attempting to answer this question, we cannot ignore the racial dynamic of America’s obsession with guns. White men can walk

the streets with fully loaded automatic rifles and suffer no negative consequences, while people of color are shot dead for having a toy gun. This is because the freedom of Americans to bears arms that is not the real issue here; it is the freedom of white Americans to arm themselves against people of color (who are perceived as a threat). Even though the great majority of mass shooters are white, the perceived threat is the armed person of color. The psyches of many white Americans are tainted by a fear of retribution for past wrongs and injustices committed against people of color. This fear will not go away anytime soon because for as long as the injustices persist, the fear will persist and the gun culture will persist. So, the mass killings will persist. To those whites prone to such behavior, Donald Trump has given license to openly fear and hate people of color. The resulting suffering has followed, as night follows the day. But the fear that many white people have of people of color pales in comparison to their fear of a Black man with a gun. The high-water mark for American gun control legislation during the last eighty years was in the late 1960s, due in large part to the Black Panther Party showing up heavily armed at the California State House in May 1967. The sight of armed Black men with large afros and berets sent a chill down America’s spine and sparked political activity that eventually led to new gun control laws being passed in federal and state legislatures.

A working paper released by the Harvard Business School in 2016 explored the impact of mass shootings on gun policy from 1989 to 2014. It showed that gun laws have been loosened over the years by legislators courted by the gun lobby. The paper even states, “When there is a Republican-controlled legislature, mass shootings lead to more firearm laws that loosen gun control. A mass shooting in the previous year increases the number of enacted laws that loosen gun restrictions by 75% in states with Republican-controlled legislatures.” In other words, when there is a mass shooting, Republicans make it easier for someone to commit another mass shooting by loosening gun control laws. This can best be explained by the existence of a great fear of, and a need to arm against, the perceived threat posed by people of color. The gun lobby’s 2nd Amendment argument to keep and bear arms is predicated upon self-defense. But the language of that amendment begins,” A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State…” Gun rights advocates never talk about this first clause of the one sentence that is the 2nd Amendment. We must put people in office who have principles and who value human life over profit and privilege and find ways to pass laws that create more effective gun controls. It is time for us to use gun laws to protect citizens rather than to secure white privilege. Oscar H. Blayton is a former Marine Corps combat pilot and human rights activist who practices law in Virginia.

IT DOESN’T TAKE A ROCKET SCIENTIST TO HELP KIDS WITH THEIR EDUCATION. Nope. All it takes is a scratch or two. Because every time you play the Lottery, Georgia kids are the real winners. That’s because for over 20 years the Georgia Lottery has contributed over $19 billion to education. On top of that, more than 1.8 million HOPE scholars have gone to college and more than 1.6 million four-year-olds have attended a Lotteryfunded Pre-K Program. That qualifies as a rocket booster in our book.

SPOTLIGHT...

“It was a brand-new experience in a new occupation, as well as a fastpaced and challenging assignment,” Harwell said. A few years later, he worked on the Intelsat Satellite Retrieval team. In addition to his successful work with satellites, Harwell also worked on the development of Space Station Freedom’s configuration as the heat rejection subsystem manager. In this role, he was responsible for the radiators and their positioning system. During this time in Harwell’s career, he was working a double tour—space station subsystem management by day and designer of radiators in the evening. He received one of the patents listed above for that work. Harwell also participated in the design of the vibration isolation systems for the Advanced Resistive Exercise Device (ARED), the X-38 heat-ejection system and an early version of the rover’s spacesuit docking system. Recently, he has been involved in the development of the next-generation spacesuit and a space station flight experiment seeking to advance heat exchanger technology. Harwell, too, was a member of the team that developed contingency methods for handling water in the spacesuit helmet. Education is a driving force in Harwell’s career success. He earned his bachelor’s degree at Mem-

phis State University (now the University of Memphis) and his master’s degree at the University of Houston—both in mechanical engineering. Harwell takes a multifaceted approach to education, and understands the value of being flexible. “People think of engineers as just math and science people,” Harwell said. “They really have to be very well rounded and able to communicate their ideas.” Every summer he mentors an intern, tasking the interns with projects that not only help in their development, but also contribute to the division’s mission. “It’s our job to train the future,” Harwell said. From an early age, Harwell knew he was going to work in the space industry. JSC provided the outlet for his creative solutions and designs, which earned him the status of senior design engineer. “I’m unique in that I’m the only one in this division that has been in EC2 my entire career,” Harwell said. He has stayed in the same division and same branch since 1983, doing what he enjoys. Written by Anna Seils NASA Johnson Space Center (2015)

We never need a special day To bring you to our mind, For days without a thought of you, Are impossible to find. Each day we remember your life, Your thoughtfulness and style; Today we celebrate your birth And thank God for the memory of your smile.

A Special Thank You

We remember, thank, and appreciate Family, friends, and the community who have been our pillar of strength. We are so appreciative of your love and support. It is our sincere prayer that God will richly bless each of you for your kindness.

Psalm 28:7 The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.

Imam John C. Butler, Jr. 12/01/72 - 02/26/08 Maajid Faheem ‘Ali July 18, 1953 February 27, 2016

“Indeed unto Allah do we belong, and, indeed to Allah we will return.” “Allah will say to the inhabitants of Paradise: O inhabitants of Paradise! They will say: O Our Lord, we present ourselves and are at Your pleasure, and goodness rests in Your hands. Then He will say: Are you contended? And they will say: And how should we not be contented, O Lord, when You have given to us that which You have given to no one else of Your creation? Then He will say: Would you not like Me to give you something better than that? And thy will say: O Lord and what thing is better than that? And He will say: I shall cause My favor to descend upon you and thereafter shall never be displeased with you.” Maajid, I pray for you always. The eyes shed tears, the heart feels sad, and we are all saddened by your departure. We love you. We miss you. You are always in our hearts and thoughts. There is none that can replace you in our hearts. Love you always.

We Love and Miss You so very much, your wife, Allean Gibbons; son, James B. Gibbons, Jr.; grands, and great grands, family and friends.
