Black Lives Matter Rolls Out

Nationwide Voter Turnout Initiative

By Jeffrey L. Boney NNPA Newswire Contributor

Every vote counts and Elections have consequences!

The 2020 presidential elections will definitely have consequences and it will be important that every vote is counted and accounted for.

Everyone and everything in this country is impacted by someone in a position of political leadership who shapes public policy and who makes decisions regarding the very legislation that we must all adhere to, in one way or another. This includes city councilmembers, mayors, governors, judges, county, state and federal representatives, and even our President.

Knowing how important it is to vote is one thing but getting engaged in the process is an entirely different thing altogether. One group See LIVES page 2

On Thursday, Oct 3, with mere months left before both Republicans and Democrats have to choose their frontrunner for the Presidential race, San Diego received an appearance from Elizabeth Warren at her Town Hall held at Waterfront Park.

The presidential candidate is in the lead in California where once Senator Kamala Harris had taken hold. This was Warren’s first showing in San Diego as a Presidential candidate, and she has made sure her major focus hasn’t shifted: her message. She’s made it abundantly clear where she stands on the key points of tax, climate change concerns, and education—namely, free college tuition.

Even with the feeling in the air of excitement and hopefulness, there were a few outliers that were expected. Trump supporters made their presence known with signs of opposition to Warren’s visit as well as anyone that attended the event. Even so, the feeling of optimism was heavy in the air.

8,500 people were in attendance by the total count of the crowd at the end of the event.

Unfortunately, not many faces were those of African-Americans. The immediate turn out for African-Americans in the crowd was sparse, and could be viewed as apprehension on the community’s part, and rightfully so.

If a candidate shows plans or support for the African-American community, it is met with accusations of pandering. This isn’t unfounded, as many Democratic nominees See WARREN page 2

ACHIEVEMENT

Gives Emotional Testimony “BLUEPRINT” FOR BLACK STUDENT at Judiciary Hearing NNPA Newswire Correspondent

By Tanu Henry California Black Media

A group of Black educators are headed to San Diego this week from around the state, and across the country, to meet with each other. Their goal is to leave their conference with strategies that school districts and policymakers can adapt to close the achievement gap for Black students in public schools.

“Violent police have no place in this society,” said Gwen Carr, Garner’s mother, who urged lawmakers to pass a bill that would prevent police from using chokeholds. The Rev. Al Sharpton and other civil rights and community advocates appeared before the committee.

Gwen Carr provided an emotional opening statement during the House Judiciary Committee’s oversight hearing on policing practices.

Carr, the mother of Eric Garner who died in New York from a police chokehold in 2014, recounted how police officers had approached her son outside of a grocery store on Staten Island.

Inexplicably, Officer Daniel Pantaleo wrestled

Garner to the ground and used an illegal chokehold that eventually led to Garner’s death.

“Five years ago, my beloved son Eric was murdered by people who were supposed to serve and protect,” Carr told the bipartisan group of lawmakers.

“Eric cried out 11 times, ‘I can’t breathe.’ But See GARNER page 2

From Thursday, Oct. 10 through Saturday, Oct. 12, the group will convene in San Diego at the 2019 conference of the California Association of Black School Educators (CABSE). They plan to share research findings, best practices and actionable information that organizers say will “usher in a golden age of education policy.”

The theme of this year’s CABSE’s meeting is “Transforming the Playing Field.”

have been guilty of doing this, and continue to do so even during the current race to become the pick for Democratic presidential nominee.

Founded in 2013 by Patrisse Cullors, Alicia Garza and Opal Tometi in response to the acquittal of Trayvon Martin’s murderer, George Zimmerman, what started as a hashtag, has now grown into a global chapterbased, member-led organization in the United States, United Kingdom and Canada. The organization’s mission has been to mobilize determined activists who are committed to fighting anti-Black racism and discriminatory reforms worldwide.

In an exclusive interview, Cullors tells the NNPA Newswire that BLM was invited to attend the third installment of the Democratic Presidential Debate, which was hosted in Houston, Texas, at Texas Southern University (TSU), an HBCU located in the heart of Houston’s historic Third Ward—a place known for its rich Black history and culture. The debate marked the first presidential campaign debate at an HBCU since 2007.

While in Houston for the debate, Cullors announced that BLM was rolling out a new nationwide initiative to help increase voter registration and turnout. Cullors, along with cofounder of the Los Angeles chapter of BLM Melina Abdullah and Managing Director Kailee Scales, introduced the new nationwide initiative entitled— ‘What Matters 2020—Issues That Impact Minority Communities’, with a dedicated focus on getting the vote out for the 2020 presidential election.

Cullors states that BLM’s goal is to hit all major cities where Black folks live and engage Generation Z to increase voter registration, turnout and overall engagement.

“Black voters have traditionally been the Democratic Party’s most loyal constituency and younger voters represent the future of the party,” said

Cullors. “We thought it was important that we use this platform to ensure that our constituency has the resources to be informed when tuned into the debate and that the candidates know just how impactful our vote will be to this election.”

Working in conjunction with a cross-section of partners from all sectors, BLM leaders are seeking to directly impact the 2020 election cycle by ensuring candidates are held accountable for the issues that systematically and disproportionately impact minority communities across the nation.

Issues this initiative will mobilize around include: • Racial Injustice • Police Brutality • Criminal Justice Reform • Black Immigration Environmental Conditions • Voting Rights & Suppression • Economic Injustice • Healthcare • Education • Commonsense Gun Laws • LGBTQAI • Human Rights In addition to introducing this initiative, BLM plans to directly interact with candidates and students, and will be launching technology applications aimed at increasing voter registration and turnout in 2020.

“We will engage and empower all

Black folks, our allies, and underserved communities to use their collective voices and votes to achieve the outcomes we want, need and deserve in 2020,” Cullors tells the NNPA Newswire. “We will educate BLM constituents about candidates and the issues that impact Black voters most, and promote voter registration and voter turnout among the Black community, our allies, and Generation Z. This initiative will inspire and motivate people to ask themselves and their candidates are you really addressing ‘What Matters in 2020?’”

In measuring the success of the initiative, Cullors states that they will be monitoring the results based off of the outcomes that come prior to the 2020 election.

“We will know that we are successful when each candidate has an acceptable and tangible comprehensive plan that specifically addresses racial injustice, criminal justice reform, police brutality and reparations, among other issues that impact the Black community,” Cullors states.

Since the organization’s inception in 2013, BLM has been on the frontline of many issues impacting minority communities including police brutality, criminal justice reform, education, Black immigration, public policy and more.

Blueprint:

“Yet, why have we not seen much change? These interventions seem to each address a singular distinct problem at the heart of educational disparity without looking at how they interlink and overlap,” says Ali. What CABSE does differently—and plans to do at this year’s conference— is bring together educators from varying backgrounds and all levels of education, some who have been traditionally opposed to each other like charter school operators and traditional school district officials.

Nationwide, there is a 28-percentagepoint test score gap between 17-yearold Black students and their White counterparts, according to the National Assessment of Educational Progress.

Ali says his goal is to cross “sector lines” to advance a singular mission: “expanding pre-k through community college opportunities for under-represented and underserved Black students and students of color.”

At the end of the conference, CABSE will unveil its new “Educational Equity Blueprint.” According to CASBE, the document is expected to include guidelines that “emphasize a holistic “cradle-to-career” learning approach; embrace technology as an equity equalizer; challenge inherent biases; and promote positive education climates.”

The CABSE conference is happening at a time when Black high school graduates seem to be facing steeper climbs to get accepted into California’s public universities.

California State University, for example, is proposing requiring an additional year of math for all high school students in the state as a requirement for admission.

“We are about empowering our children—teaching students that they can achieve anything that they set their mind to given they put in the hard work,” Ali added.

In 2015, only about 30 percent of African-American high school graduates in California were admitted to the California State University system. If another year of math is required, that number

our communities. This is something often mulled over, but never truly exercised. Yet, Mercer believes that with Warren as President, that change would most assuredly come.

“She’s not like the other candidates who should be carrying SAG cards,” quipped another Warren supporter, an African American female in her mid forties, when speaking of the other Democratic Presidential candidates in the running. “She really knows what she’s talking about, and says what she means. I believe she’ll make the changes that need to happen, happen.”

As the evening went on, the crowd swelled in size with people from all walks of life: young, old, white, black, and every in-between. However, you could not ignore that the majority of the crowd were women, and when it came to African-Americans, it was black women amongst the crowd, but the number was miniscule.

It begs the question whether the black community didn’t show up in droves to this rally due to the lack of excitement about the primaries or the candidates running, or if they just aren’t supportive of Elizabeth Warren? Even so, a choice must be made in this next election, and we must stay informed, even if Warren isn’t the candidate African Americans ultimately choose.

Michel Mercer, 63, also believes that, as a community, African-Americans should be wary of candidates. He also thinks African Americans should be self-reliant, suggesting that the community adopt “micro-banking”, a phrase having to do with investing in and having our dollars circulate in

the line every day to keep us all safe, and we are grateful for their enormous service and sacrifice,” he said.

Carr said Garner’s devastated her family.

However, over the past two decades, there has been a growing, and disturbing trend of mostly unarmed black and brown young men who have been the victims of discriminatory police practices and these encounters with law enforcement have led to their untimely deaths, Sharpton told the committee.

had

It also led to the fatal heart attack suffered by Garner’s sister, Erica, who died of a heart attack in 2017, Carr said.

“She died of a broken heart,” Carr said.

House Judiciary Committee Chair Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), told Carr that the criminal justice system failed her and her family.

The chairman also asked that his colleagues in Congress look for measures that would prevent police officers from escaping punishment.

In California, there is more than a 40 percentage-point gap between African-American public school students’ standardized test scores and that of their White counterparts.

In math, the disparity is more than 50 percentage points.

“Seven years ago, we invested $47.3 billion in our schools,” Gov. Newsom said in his 2019 State of the State speech in January. “But it’s not enough. We’re still 41st in the nation in per-pupil funding. Something needs to change. We need to have an honest conversation about how we fund our schools at a state and local level. But at the same time, let’s remember that the measure of a school system’s excellence is more than the sum of its budgets.”

“Shockingly, the officer responsible for placing Mr. Garner in a departmentally-banned chokehold remained on the force for five years before finally being fired this past August,” Nadler said.

president Micah Ali says, there has been no shortage of strategies created to improve education outcomes for African-American students.

However, the sentiment is different when it comes to Warren. “[Warren] is a dynamic individual,” said one African American female who came to the rally with a few friends. “She’s smart and articulate, as well as forceful and interesting.”

“There needs to be better information on the use of force and better proposals to end racial profiling and to restore trust between law enforcement and the community,” Nadler said.

will drop to 21 percent, according to a study conducted by RTI International.

Speakers at the CABSE conference will include Bryant T. Marks, Sr., founder of the National Training Institute on Race and Equity; Tyrone C. Howard, director of the UCLA Black Male Institute; and Dr. Kenneth Wesson, an education consultant and neuroscience expert.

Ali says solving inequities in public education will require looking at the roots of social and racial injustice that lie beneath the problems.

“It is imperative that we unlock our student’s locked potential—this can only be done by fixing the inequitable systemic disparities in education, not through one-off interventions,” he said. “Instead, we must bring our best thinking forward around how these interventions can work together most effectively”

The hearing focused on the role of the federal government in addressing concerns about illegal practices, enhancing accountability, and in developing 21st-century policing practices.

During the session, the Rev. Al Sharpton joined Carr and others to call on Congress to pass legislation to set a federal standard for excessive use of force.

It included testimony from former professional tennis player James Blake; former federal law enforcement official Ron Davis; National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Chief Vera Bumpers; and Dr. Phillip Atiba of the Center for Policing Equity.

“I should say from the onset that (the National Action Network—or NAN) has never been anti-police. We are, however, anti-police brutality,” Sharpton said.

“We know that most police officers are hardworking and law-abiding citizens who take the oath to serve and protect quite seriously. They put their lives on

These statistics should cause all great alarm, he said.

“There are too many victims to name.

But we all know their stories. We’ve read about them in the newspaper and have seen them on the nightly news: Eric Garner, Michael Brown, LaQuan McDonald, Tamir Rice, Walter Scott, Freddie Gray, Stephon Clark, and countless others,” Sharpton said.

“I’ve spent days and nights with grieving parents and family members who wanted nothing more but justice for their loved one who was senselessly shot or choked to death by an officer.

I’ve preached the funerals. You can feel the pain and heartache. And even in the despair, I made a promise to the victims’ families that I would push Congress to enact federal legislation to address fatal misconduct,” he said.

Sharpton added that the time to address the issue is now.

He said there’s a deep-seated mistrust of the police in many communities of color and solutions must be identified to find ways to rebuild trust.

“Quite simply, there is a need for greater oversight on the patterns and practices of law enforcement across the country,” Sharpton said.

“Without these checks and balances, we will continue to experience discrimination and egregious injustices at every stage of the criminal justice system, beginning with an individual’s first encounter with law enforcement officials, as we witnessed first-hand in New York with the death of Eric Garner five years ago,” he said.

“There is a need for police officers to undergo racial profiling and microaggression training so that they are better equipped to police in an increasingly diverse America.”

It’s Not Patriotism, America is My Home It’s Nationalism–“White Nationalism”

By Angela Sailor

Vice President of The Heritage Foundation

By Oscar H. Blayton Former Marine Corps Combat Pilot and Human Rights Activist who practices law in Virginia. ​

For people of color, the past three and onehalf years of slogging through Donald Trump’s America have brought many new realizations about some age-old problems.

Racism and bigotry have existed since the first Africans set foot in English speaking North America 400 years ago. During our long, agonizing trek through the pages of U.S. history, we have suffered enslavement, lynching, Jim Crow laws, red lining, school segregation and employment discrimination, just to name a few of the ways in which our humanity has been violated.

Through the centuries, very few African Americans did not suffer from the poisonous vapors arising from the culture of white supremacy.

So, the assaults by Donald Trump are nothing new to those of us Americans with a darker hue. His ignorant vitriol only chalks up another day under the star-spangled banner.

But while we see Trump as another edition of a 400-year-old daily rerun, his America has taught many of us something we had not learned before—something so deeply embedded in the marrow of white America’s bones that it took the socio-political CT scan of a Trump presidency to reveal it.

We have known all along that the Confederate flag-waving bigots were acting out their hatred for people of color, despite their protestations that they were only honoring their cultural heritage. We were never fooled into thinking that the racial covenants imposed by state and

federal governments had nothing to do with property values and everything to do with building white economic wealth from a foundation of Black economic deprivation.

When Black soldiers went off to sacrifice their bodies and lives to fight foreign wars for Uncle Sam, knowing full well they would return to a homeland that cursed them, there was seldom any recognition of their selflessness. In fact, they were despised even more for their heroism.

Yet, time and time again, through the butchery of Black bodies, the countless murders of unarmed Black men and women by police and the rape of Black freedoms by the American judicial system, so many white Americans have justified their crimes as acts of patriotism.

Holding the treasonous flag of the Confederacy in one hand, and the American flag in the other, white supremacists have the unmitigated gall to self-aggrandize themselves as patriots.

If patriotism is the love of one’s homeland and its citizens, white supremacists cannot lay claim to that quality. It is impossible to love your country while hating a multitude of its citizens. A country is not merely geographical boundaries and topographical registers. A country is a community of people—all the people. And this is a truth that white supremacists have never embraced.

They would rather sing of “purple mountain majesties” and “amber waves of grain” than honor the First Nations who were stewards of this lands for millennia before Europeans arrived, or the sons and daughters of

Africa upon whose bloodied backs the wealth of America was built.

White supremacists have cloaked the venom of their race hatred in the red, white and blue in order to hide its true nature, because in the minds of white supremacists, America is only for whites.

When we consider the words of the preamble to the U.S. Constitution: “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence [sic], promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”—we have to ask ourselves, justice and domestic tranquility for whom when unarmed people of color are gunned down and murdered by police officers. We must ask ourselves, whose general welfare is being promoted when we have federal and state legislatures bent on disenfranchising people of color. Have the blessings of liberty been secured for people of color who have been lynched, oppressed, left defenseless by state and federal governments when attacked by racists mobs and denied any modicum of dignity and equality by flag waving racists who call themselves patriots?

It is time to name this evil for what it is. It is not American patriotism when flag waving bigots demand respect for the symbolic images of this country. It is white nationalism fueled by the racial bigotry of those who believe that it is only they who deserve any benefits that America has to offer.

Do you consider America to be your home or just the place you happen to live?

September 22 has long been a meaningful date for me and my family. That’s the day, in 1862, when Abraham Lincoln issued the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation.

This year, as that date approached, I was listening to one of my all-time favorites, Luther Vandross’ “A House Is Not A Home,” when the question popped into my head: Do I consider America to be my home, or just my house?

I know many in our community feel marginalized-as though America is not the loving, accepting, nurturing place we often dream of. But, in real life, no homes are idyllic all the time. There are tensions, stresses, arguments and divisions, even in loving families.

So, looking at America with realistic eyes, is it truly my home?

If I posed that question to billionaire entrepreneur David Steward, entertainment giant Tyler Perry, or my boss-Kay Coles James, the president of The Heritage Foundation-I’d wager they’d all have the same answer.

Rooted in humble beginnings, with the odds at their faces, each stepped beyond the limits of their circumstances to conquer the unknown. America, for them, is not just a house but a home.

Empowered by emancipation, they have undertaken the all-American pursuit of happiness and left a lasting mark on the American identity and our nation’s culture. Today, they stand as beacons of light.

As a community, we must be courageous enough to deal with the tragedies and past failures we have suffered as a people - to learn from them, to forgive, and to encourage each other to move on boldly to pursue happiness and make the most of the freedoms we enjoy as Americans.

As for how I answer the house/home question…

Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglass, and Booker T. Washington all had their different roles and approaches to liberty, life, and the pursuit of happiness as did Crispus Attucks, the first American to die in the Revolutionary War, Benjamin Banneker, the architectural genesis who designed our nation’s capital, and Dr. Daniel Hale Williams, the first person to successfully perform open-heart surgery.

I’m convinced that inalienable rights are the pathway to being better than just good, but good for something. My grandmother believed God anointed us with the power to overcome trials, tribulations, obstacles, disparities, and hopelessness by emancipating ourselves in the walk toward freedom and opportunity.

George Washington viewed freedom much like Grandma did-as a fundamentally internal or spiritual power rather than as a physical or political state. With Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation, America became a home for my family-one that gives us the freedom to use our God-given abilities for our own benefit and the freedom to pursue happiness according to our own lights.

The next generation has those freedoms, so let’s invest our time teaching them how to make America their home.

Fannie Lou Hamer Died of Untreated Breast Cancer

By Julianne Malveaux NNPA Newswire Contributor

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and the proliferation of pink ribbons is about to start. Predatory capitalists will make breast cancer their cause, producing pink t-shirts, pocketbooks, everything. It’s a mixed blessing, this awareness, because too many will make this both a marketing and a profit-making opportunity, while others will wonder how they can use their health insurance to afford a mammogram. Health equity is a major issue, and there is a gap in health care and health access. It is especially sharp when we address the issue of breast cancer.

While Black women get breast cancer at a lower rate than white women, we are 42 percent more likely to die from it.

And young Black women, those under 35, are twice as likely as white women to get breast cancer, and three times as likely to die from it. Black women are also three times as likely as white women to get triple-negative breast

cancer, an especially aggressive form of breast cancer.

I am privileged to know Ricki Fairley, a triple-negative breast cancer survivor, and marketing maven who now holds a leadership role at the nation’s oldest and largest black women’s breast cancer network group.

Sister’s Network, describes itself as a “survivorship organization” that provides support for Black women who are diagnosed with breast cancer. Ricki only recently joined the organization as its Vice President for Strategic Partnerships and National Programs, and she is on a mission to raise awareness about breast cancer in the African American community.

Propelled by her own survivorship story, but also by the many women she has provided support for, she is passionate about the reasons that African American women must be informed and engaged around breast cancer issues.

Our civil rights icon, Fannie Lou Hamer, died of untreated breast cancer.

She was just 59 when she made her transition, and one can only speculate about why this fearless leader had an untreated disease. Her untreated breast cancer was not the first collision she experienced with our racist health care system. At 44, she had surgery to remove a tumor, and the hospital also gave her a hysterectomy without her consent. These unconsented sterilizations happened to lots of Black women in southern states. It eroded the trust that many Black women had in our health care system. Had Fannie Lou Hamer noticed a lump, would she be inclined to return to the health care system that had already oppressed her?

Probably not.

might have died giving birth to her daughter, Alexandra. Because Williams was gracious enough to share her story, we are reminded that Black women are all too often ignored or dismissed by health care providers. Racial bias in the medical field is not only real, but also life-threatening. Reference Fannie Lou Hamer. Ask Serena Williams. Consider the thousands of Black women that are being sidelined by a health care system that does not hear our voices.

“Hamer” from page 1

What must we do to ensure that Black women don’t carry the heavy burden of health disparities? We must be mindful and aware of the risks of breast cancer. We must talk about breast care with our sisters and our young ‘uns. We must engage in a policy conversation about the ways health insurance can support our breast health. Too often, health insurance covers some, but not all, of the cost of screening. We must engage our civic organizations in breast health education.

system treats Black women. Serena

We must remember Fannie Lou Hamer,

Fannie Lou Hamer was poor and vocally Black in the South. Serena Williams is wealthy, Black and an international superstar. Despite her privilege, Williams also experienced the differential way the health care

who said she was “sick and tired of being sick and tired.” That means as tired as we are of being tired, we must also be committed to taking care of ourselves. Too many studies say that Black women ignore self-care for the care of others.

Fannie Lou Hamer was a leader and an icon. She was also a Black woman who gave voice to her tiredness and the way it impacted her. In saying that she was “sick and tired of being sick and tired”, she challenged us all to be less sick, less tired, and more selfaware. If we celebrate her, we must hear her. The health care system is biased against Black women, and we must take our health care in our own hands. Neither sick, nor tired, just empowered. And in October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month, be supportive of organizations like the Sister’s Network, an organization that provides opportunities and services for the Black women who are diagnosed with breast cancer. We must do this in the name of Fannie Lou Hamer.

BEATRICE DAWSON was the twelfth of fourteen children born to the union of Ben and Fannie Mae Dawson on October 25, 1919. Throughout her life, Beatrice was lovingly called “Bea”. Both her parents and all thirteen siblings preceded her in death. Bea grew up in Lisbon, Louisiana, and it was there where she received her formal education. Bea met and married, Jackson Clay Jones (J.C.), in Lisbon, Louisiana on January 9, 1938. To this union, ten children were born. In January of 1946, J.C. and Bea moved their growing family to San Diego, California. Not long after moving to San Diego, Bea became a member of Bethel Baptist Church. She received the Baptism of the Holy Ghost on January 29, 1960, and later became a member of the Greater Jackson Memorial C.O.G.I.C..

Bea was a faithful and loyal member of the church. She was a member of the choir, a Deaconess, a member of the Mother’s Board and worked in the kitchen. She displayed her faithfulness by continually supporting her pastor, and the family of the Fountain of Life C.O.G.I.C., with her prayers, tithes, and offerings, until the day of her death.

Bea was a loving mother and a true friend. She enjoyed the company of her friends, family and grandchildren, whom she loved with all of her heart. She loved to sing and was often heard singing, or humming, her favorite hymns. Nurses at the hospital shared with the family how they often heard her humming the Lord’s song when they went in to attend to her. She always had a kind word to say and never rushed to judgment. She loved people and enjoyed each interaction with them. She always ended every conversation with, ‘God Bless You.’ On September 23, 2019, at 6:30 A.M., Bea went home to be with the Lord. She was preceded in death by her husband, J.C.; two daughters, Marie Jones and Margie Mack, and one son, Andrew Jones, all of San Diego. She leaves to celebrate her life and her homegoing four daughters: Iris Harris, Marva Roberts and Brenda Jones of San Diego, Doris (Robert) Williams of St. Louis; three sons: Otis Jones and Kenneth (Sandra) Jones of San Diego and Alphonso (Margarette) Jones of Moreno Valley; twenty-one grandchildren, thirty great-grandchildren, and three greatgreat-grandchildren, sister-inlaw, Morrine Smith of Lisbon, Louisiana and a host of nieces, nephews, and friends.

MAXINE E. SNEED was born August 30, 1926 in Prague, Oklahoma. She was the third child of five children born to Calvin and Beatrice Sneed. She attended Fredrick Douglas High School, where she was voted High School Beauty Queen and later met the love of her life, Harvey Jones. Harvey drove the school bus for his classmates and somehow Maxine found her way to the seat behind this handsome bus driver and the rest became history. At the ages of 17 and 19 on a cold rainy day, May 20, 1944, Maxine Sneed became Maxine Jones. In 1945, her new young husband accepted the calling from God to become a Pastor. He was sent to Fresno, CA. Then the family, with three little ones, later moved to San Diego, CA and made this their final home. Eight children were born to this union. Maxine accepted Christ at a young age. Although she wasn’t too keen about being a Pastor’s wife, she accepted the duty and served diligently under the leadership of her husband, then later under the leadership of her son, Harvey Jones, Jr. until she was called home on September 21, 2019 at the age of 93. She was a Phenomenal and God Fearing first lady for over 40 years. She served wherever she was needed. She worked with the prison ministry, was a part of the women’s department, fed the young men and women serving in the military, fed and boarded many families in town for church conventions, was president of the retirees and an advocate for the young men and women she came to know; all while raising eight children and helping to guide some of her grandchildren.

Maxine was preceded in death by her parents, Calvin and Beatrice Sneed; stepfather, Dave Frazier; one brother; Clarence Sneed; three sisters: Rubie Witt, Jean Fortune and Marcella Hunt; one daughter; Alma Jeanice Agnew; one grandson, Haven Jones; three great grandsons: Quinton Agnew, Dontae Hampton and Haven Jones Jr. She leaves to cherish her memory her devoted husband of 75 years, Harvey Jones, Sr. of San Diego; three daughters: Helia P. Jones-McFalls (Bob), Merry A. Jones (Don Axt) and Gaye J. Jordan (Derryll); four sons: Harvey R. Jones, Jr. (Doreen), Harvis R. Jones (Emmy), Harvus R. Jones (Arnesa) and Hurvey R.

1619 Black Women Exhibit at the San Diego Women’s Museum National Celebration of

By Contributing Writer Voice & Viewpoint

“Throughout the centuries, human beings have used art to tell the story, to be the archivist for the journey, to share life messages of hope, fear, pain and inspiration,” said Leah Goodwin, guest curator of the “1619 National Celebration of Black Women Exhibit” now on display at the Women’s Museum of California. On October 3, the museum provided a glimpse into that shared experience with a VIP reception held in the museum’s main gallery at Liberty Station. The exhibit runs through December 2019.

Joined in partnership with the local 1619 Committee, the 1619 Exhibit is dedicated to educating and uplifting Black women and girls about their ancestors while encouraging them to walk in their power. It features original artwork, historical artifacts and local San Diego stories of African American artists, including Dorothy Annette, Manuelita Brown, Albert Fennell, Brenda De Flanders, Calvin Manson, and Mary Fredericks, and artifacts from the collection of Dr. Willie Morrow.

The exhibit takes visitors on a visual journey and provides a glimpse of the nationwide 1619 celebration.

2019 marks the 400th year commemoration since the first slave ship filled with African captives arrived at the shore of Jamestown, Virginia in the year 1619. On board were men, women, and children, some as young as eight and nine years old.

Africans could be held in servitude for life, though white Christian indentured servants could only be held for a limited term.

In 1641, Massachusetts legalized slavery, specifying that a child inherited its status from the mother, rather than the father, reversing English common law. This was the start of the exploitation of Black women’s bodies for the growth and sustainability of America. For centuries thereafter, black women have been marginalized, misrepresented, mistreated, and denied their just due.

and institutions across the country are part of a larger movement. The goal of 1619 National Celebration of Black Women is to educate and empower communities and show Black women and girls that a new day is on the horizon, and the continued path of greatness paved by their ancestors is boundless.

Valencia Park’s 12-Under HORNETS Swarm the DIABLOS in 26-6 Win Photos and article by Darrel Wheeler

The busy Hornets finally got their first victory of the 2019 season. Quarterback Daylon Lambert-Dunn used his nimble feet strong arm and quick thinking to cool off South Bay’s Diablos.

With Hornets Tawqir Trott (#30), Anthony Morales (#81), King David Dunn (#36), David Floyd Jr (#50), Jesiah Claiborne (#21), and Aniyus Murphy (#12) the future could get brighter for the mean, green Hornets.

VP’s new and improved offense exploited South Bay’s lackluster defense, finding holes and out running the Diablos to the end zone. Their stingy defense allowed only one touchdown and overwhelmed South Bay’s out of sync offense with speed and a serious sense of purpose.

“They looked good today. It was a job well done by the players and the coaches,” Winston Sharp, VP’s Coaches rep said. “We are still rebuilding, so it’s very important that the kids keep learning, progressing and keep working hard. I think we will be ok and I feel we are moving in the right direction.”

The aggressive 12-under Hornets are looking for a few more wins.

Jaden Johnson Helps RAIDERS to a Very Important Win Over AZTECS Photos and article by Darrel Wheeler

Raiders Deshaun Halle (#1), Jeremy Robinson (#9), Hezekiah Manuel (#8), Arion Hicks (#6), Jerryon Weaver (#7) joined speedster Jaden in Balboa’s touchdown parade totaling 40 pts.

Balboa’s 10-under Raiders were able to overcome their turnovers and penalties. They played “good-enough” defense, holding Chula Vista’s frisky Aztecs to 19 points.

The Aztecs played some good ball, however, they had no answer for Balboa’s Mr. Excitement Jaden Johnson.

Jayden shined on offence and defense, helping to keep the 5-1 Raiders’ playoff ambitions alive.

“We have to keep practicing hard and listen to our coaches and we can keep getting better,” Jayden shared.

PROFS CAUGHT SEEKING SEXUAL FAVORS IN UNDERCOVER STING AT TOP AFRICAN SCHOOLS Global Information Network

A year-long investigation into sexual harassment by professors at the University of Lagos and the University of Ghana has produced evidence of a tolerated practice of “sex for grades” at the two top schools.

Shocking tapes of university profs brazenly propositioning young women who had come seeking admission to classes or financial aid showed their open defiance of the schools’ stated policy of zero-tolerance towards unwanted behavior of a sexual nature.

“Fine girls like you are always vulnerable,” a Univ. of Lagos prof was heard on tape, snickering at an undercover reporter.

In “Sex for grades”, journalists caught on tape the common practice of senior lecturers harassing, propositioning, and finally threatening with blackmail any non-compliant young woman.

Part of a BBC series called Africa Eye, the concept was developed by Kiki Mordi, a Nigerian radio

program presenter and Merit Award winner for radio who admitted she herself had once been a victim.

“This thing has been going on for years,” one student is seen recounting angrily. “And every single year, every single department, every single student, it’s always the same story.”

“Nobody wants to listen, nobody wants to believe victims… and nobody is trying to do anything,” cries another exasperated young student.

Reporter Mordi reveals what happens behind closed doors at some of the region’s most prestigious universities.

The camera pans to Prof. Boniface Igbeneghu as he tells a young student hoping to enroll: “I’m in my 50s and this will shock you. Even at my age, if I want a girl of your age, 17 years, all I have to do is sweet talk her and put some money in her hand. I’ll get her.”

“Switch off this light and lock the door,” he orders the undercover reporter. “I’ll kiss you for a minute,” as he squirms excitedly on the office sofa.

A second meeting was arranged “for prayer.”

“This prayer did not seem normal”, observed Mordi, as the teacher’s legs twitched rapidly.

The professor then quizzed the young woman on her sex life, asking at what age did she start “knowing men.”

Later, he told her about the “cold room” – a secret place on campus where lecturers invite female students. There, he said, teachers “smooch them, touch their breast, touch up their body.”

“I can call you any day,” he warned her. “And if you don’t come, I’ll call and tell your mum that you are disobedient to me.”

At the University of Ghana, lecturers are forbidden from having sexual relations with

students. But Dr Paul Kwame Butakor was so at ease on the student’s second visit that he asked if he could be her “side guy” (second boyfriend).

“I’m married,” he told her. “But my wife is not in the country.” He offered her a National Service work placement in his department even though the deadline for application had passed.

“Seriously,” he repeated. “Let me be your side man. I’ll not give you trouble.”

All the cited professors have denied the serious allegations against them. The University of Lagos has suspended Dr. Igbeneghu, barred him from the school and shut down the staff club’s “Cold Room.”

AFRICAN LANGUAGES AMONG THE TOP TEN SPOKEN IN U.S. HOMES Global Information Network

If you think you’re hearing more Swahili, Yoruba, Amharic or Twi coming from your neighbor’s home, you’re right!

Newly released data from the U.S. Census Bureau finds African languages are among the top ten fastest growing languages spoken at home in the U.S. The Census list features three groups of African languages: Swahili and other Central/Eastern/Southern African languages; Yoruba, Twi, Igbo, and other Western African languages; and Amharic/Somali.

Although African immigrants make up a small share of the nation’s immigrant population, their overall numbers have doubled every decade since 1970, according to the Pew Research Center.

Africans now make up 39% of the total foreign-born black population, up from 24% in 2000.

Despite President Trump’s unkind comments about African countries, African migrants continue to seek refuge in the U.S. In June 2019, U.S. Customs and Border Patrol officials recorded an unprecedented rise in African migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border, arriving at a rate of 30 to 40 people a day. A majority of these asylum seekers are from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Angola.

This is not a trend that is expected to change drastically anytime soon.

North America is a top destination for the continent’s mushrooming under-30 population, particularly those between the ages of 18 and 25 who want to leave. This desire

to migrate is highest in West and Central Africa.

Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, Tanzania, Senegal and Kenya are among the principal countries of origin for sub-Saharan African migrants to Europe and the United States, which explains why Swahili, Yoruba and Igbo are leading the African cohort on the Census Bureau’s list of fastest-growing languages.

Swahili is the major African language spoken in the U.S. And for the first time, the country will, in the upcoming 2020 census, print guides in three additional African languages—Igbo, Yoruba, and Twi. The previous census in 2010 had guides printed in five African languages all of which were from East and South Africa.

ETHIOPIAN ‘THANKSGIVING’ RETURNS AS A JOYOUS AFFAIR Global Information Network

For the first time in 150 years, Ethiopia’s Oromo people celebrated “Thanksgiving” in “Finfinee”—also known as Addis Ababa.

The country’s largest ethnic group turned up in the hundreds of thousands to mark “Ireecha”—a public outdoors event. People gathered around water bodies, holding tufts of grass to thank Waqqaa (God) and ask for Nagaa (Peace), Finnaa (the development of mind and body), Walooma (togetherness or harmony), and Araaraa (Reconciliation). They also paid respect to the previous generations of Oromos who endured the odds and helped sustain this colorful celebration from generation

to generation.

Ireecha usually happens in late September—a time when the main rainy season ends and fields are filled with crops and flowers.

The fete is considered the most important cultural event in the Oromo calendar, who make up over 34% of Ethiopia’s 100-million population.

Ethiopia’s Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed is from Oromia and has overseen some radical reforms since coming to power last year.

Before April 2018, the Oromo people, along with the Amhara felt shortchanged by the government—a

feeling that snowballed only to erupt in non-stop anti-government demonstrations over three years that helped usher in an era of reform.

There are thought to be at least 40 million Oromos in Ethiopia.

Colorful beadwork, known as chelie, worn on women’s foreheads, are a common sight amongst all Oromos.

In an interview in the Addis Standard, anthropologist Alemayehu Diro gave this background: “For over a century, the Oromo were denied the rights and opportunities to be part and parcel of mainstream socio-cultural and political economy of Ethiopia… They were

even denied the right to be called Oromo and were given a derogatory name (Galla).”

“At present, at least in theory, the Oromo have repossessed their land

and natural resources. Irreecha is just one of the major cultural rituals the Oromo were able to preserve. It constitutes one of the vivid cultural renaissances the Oromo have been experiencing over the last few years.”

HEALTHY LIVING

Seven Tips to Help Choose Your Health Plan During Open Enrollment

By Rob Falkenberg CEO, UnitedHealthcare of California

Open enrollment season is here, a time when more than 18.3 million people in California and millions of Americans across the country will have the opportunity to select or switch their health insurance plan for 2020.

To help guide you during this important time, here are some tips that may help lead you to better health and cost savings.

TIP 1: KNOW YOUR OPEN ENROLLMENT DATES • For the more than 178 million Americans with employerprovided coverage, many employers set aside a two-week period between September and December when employees can select health benefits for the following year.

• For the more than 64 million people enrolled in Medicare, Medicare Annual Enrollment runs from Oct. 15 to Dec. 7 each year.

For most people, changes made during this time will take effect Jan. 1, 2020.

TIP 2: UNDERSTAND YOUR OPTIONS When it comes to selecting a plan, one size does not fit all. Take the time to understand your options so you can find what will work best for you. A good first step is to make sure you understand health insurance lingo, such as premium, deductible, coinsurance and outof-pocket maximum. If you need a refresher, check out UnitedHealth Group’s Just Plain Clear Glossary at justplainclear.com to learn and understand health care terms. And if you’re eligible for Medicare, make sure you’re familiar with the difference between Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage as you weigh your options.

TIP 3: ANTICIPATE NEXT YEAR’S HEALTH EXPENSES When reviewing your options, plan ahead. Maybe you are expecting a significant health event next year, such as a surgery or having a baby. If so, then it’s even more important to compare the “total cost” of your plan, not just your monthly premium. Plan designs vary, so also compare deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums.

TIP 4: CHECK TO MAKE SURE YOUR MEDICATIONS ARE COVERED Even if you don’t expect to change plans, it’s important to make sure your prescription drugs will still be covered next year. Costs can change from year to year, and how much you pay for generics vs. brands may differ among health plans.

TIP 5: ASK ABOUT WELL-BEING PROGRAMS Many health plans now offer financial incentives that reward you for taking healthier actions, such as completing a health survey, walking, going to the gym or not using nicotine. Also, many Medicare Advantage plans offer gym memberships and wellness programs for members at no additional costs.

TIP 6: DON’T FORGET ABOUT SPECIALTY BENEFITS Additional benefits, such as dental, vision, hearing, disability or critical illness insurance, are often cost-effective coverage options that can help protect you and your family from head to toe. For Medicare beneficiaries, some may be surprised that Original Medicare doesn’t cover prescription drugs and most dental, vision and hearing services, but many Medicare Advantage plans do.

TIP 7: TRY THE CONVENIENCE OF VIRTUAL VISITS If you are busy juggling kids’ schedules or work travel, or simply prefer to connect with a doctor from the comfort of your own home, consider choosing a plan that includes 24/7 virtual visits. It may be a convenient, lower-cost way to talk to a doctor about minor health issues, and all you need is a smartphone, tablet or computer. Often, telehealth is available to members of employer-sponsored, individual and Medicare Advantage plans.

BUSINESS A NECESSARY ALLIANCE— BLACK BUSINESSE$, BLACK CONSUMER$

By Starla Muhammad

ECONOMIC POWER—Black people spend more money than any other ethnic group, with an annual purchasing power of $1.3 trillion. Of all these funds, less than 2 percent is spent within the Black community.

Entrepreneurship is nothing new in the Black community.

Black people have historically worked hard to establish, maintain and grow their own businesses to cultivate an economic base in providing goods, products and services to consumers.

Despite obstacles including lack of access to capital, resources, connections and at times inconsistent support from the public, the entrepreneurial spirit continues to be alive and well in Black America.

That spirit coupled with the ongoing push by Black business advocates encouraging Black folks and others to patronize and support these businesses, can influence a Black business “boom” and be a catalyst for change and transformation in and for the conditions of Black people through jobs and community development.

BUSINESS DIRECTORY

“We can never solve our economic problems of the Black community while spending most of our money with the people that live outside of it. We can never control our community as long as others own most of the businesses in it,” said Minister Taharka

Shakur during an August press conference in Chicago that kicked off National Black Business Month, established in 2004 by historian John Templeton and engineer Frederick Jordan.

Local entrepreneurs and activists spoke on the importance of Blacks doing business with and promoting Black businesses all year around.

“Once we have these businesses in our communities that will resolve our crime and give youth some identity of what they can do,” said Revin Fellows, co-founder of National Black Agenda Consortium, who encourages people to ‘Buy Black”.

The Hon. Marcus Mosiah Garvey through his Universal Negro Improvement Association and the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, patriarch of the Nation of Islam, taught economics is a key component of Black survival and prosperity in America.

The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan reintroduced Muhammad’s Economic Blueprint calling on not only Muslims, but all Black wage earners—the poor, the middle class, and the wealthy—to make affordable contributions, on a regular basis, into a single “national treasury.”

According to Census Bureau data, there are approximately 2.6 million Black-owned businesses in the United

States. Black women have lead the charge, with Black female-owned firms climbing 66.9 percent, from 900,000 in 2007 to 1.5 million in 2012, accounting for 58.9 percent of the nation’s Black or African American-owned businesses.

It is important to bridge the gap between Black businesses and consumers, said advocates.

There are several avenues promoting Black businesses folks can find via apps, online and print directories and of course, word of mouth.

“As consumers, we have to do a better job spreading the word, not just the bad experiences but the good experiences too and doing a better job of spreading the good gospel that way more of us can support these businesses,” said J. Averi Frost, executive director of the Central Ohio African-American Chamber of Commerce.

Stop asking God to bless us with a prayer he has already answered, said Mark Allen, chairman of National Black Wall Street Chicago. “We’ve got the economic power to turn our communities around.

It’s up to us. Everybody can be a leader in their own right. If you’re concerned about the violence, how do you spend your money?”

Themed, ‘Celebrating the Power of Women’, this year’s event will honor industry leaders in San Diego’s Black community.

A San Diego Conversation with Dr. Maulana Karenga of the presentation was “ Taking a Place at the Table: Life, Food, The Earth and Justice for Everyone.”

On Saturday, September 28th, Dr Karenga and his wife, Tiamoyo Karenga, came to San Diego to give inspiration and share wisdom with an audience convened by Project New Village.

This gathering took place at the Emeka’s Wellness Center in Lemon Grove. The title

Dr. Karenga’s message stressed the importance of placemaking as a strategy for gaining agency and control over decision making processes that impact the quality of our lives. He lifted the work of Project New Village’s Good Food District as an example, of culturally rooted placemaking. Placemaking he asserted, means to actively engage in making sure that we get our rightful due in a societal context that is hostile to our very existence. It means gaining the capacity to create and maintain rightful conditions which encourage and support our well-being and growth.

Moreover, Dr. Karenga asserted our community’s right and need for healthy, affordable, accessible, culturally-appropriate access to food. He also pointed out that we, Black people, had to demand our position at the “table” to receive our “rightful due” , whereby we must demand, “respect, equality of treatment, equity in diversity, and effective participation”.
