MARCH FOR BLACK WOMEN

DRAWS DIVERSE CROWD

Newswire

SAN FRANCISCO The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) today announced it has entered into a Conciliation / Voluntary Compliance Agreement with a resident and owners of a San Diego apartment complex.

The Fair Housing Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act prohibit housing providers from denying or limiting housing to persons with disabilities and from refusing to make reasonable accommodations in policies or practices.

On Sunday, March 10, a diverse crowd gathered on the corner of Euclid and Logan Avenue for an inspiring and well-attended rally to demand economic and social justice for Black women, an end to incarceration, deportation, and healthcare for all. Blueprint, Trans Sistas of Color Project, Black Youth Project 100, and allied state anti-violence coalitions organized the rally and event. Over 300 people of all ages, gender, and ethnicities marched through Southeast San Diego from See MARCH page 9

The agreement resolves allegations that Wakeland Atmosphere, L.P., and FPI Management, Inc., the owners and managers of Atmosphere Apartments, refused to grant the resident’s request for a designated parking space close to the building.

“To a person with mobility limitations, a designated parking space can mean the difference between merely living in a development and truly being able to call a place home,” said Anna María Farías, Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity.

WASHINGTON – This week, the President released his annual budget for funding the U.S. federal government. The proposed budget includes cuts of $700 million to Jobs Corps (40% cut), $14.8 million to the U.S. Department of Labor’s Reentry Employment Opportunities program (16% cut), and $86 million to dislocated worker training (6.8% cut). Despite the growing size of America’s aging population, the budget cuts $400 million from the Senior Community Ser-

vice Employment Program.

This effectively eliminates the work-based job training program for low-income, unemployed Americans at least 55-years-old (100% cut).

The names of 332 people have been removed from civil gang injunction lists affecting neighborhoods across San Diego County following a careful review by the District Attorney’s Office, which worked to confirm individuals’ lack of recent criminal activity. The civil injunctions were filed several years ago in various cities across the county, often in response to communities seeing a spike in gang-related violence. The injunctions—which have had their critics— were court orders restricting the most active and dangerous gang members from congregating with other known gang members, fighting, carrying weapons, and intimidation.

However, no gang injunctions have been filed by the DA in the past eight years and the oldest existing injunction dates back to 1997. District Attorney Summer Stephan initiated the review of 799 individuals, recognizing the dated nature of most of the injunctions and the potential problems that being on the list pose to individuals who are no longer affiliated with a gang or engaging in criminal activity. When a civil gang injunction is issued against an individual, it remains in effect for a lifetime unless that person applies for removal and meets certain criteria. However, most people don’t know relief maybe available to them or how to go about requesting their name be removed.

“People who are genuinely taking steps to be a lawful, contributing member of our community shouldn’t be punished by a civil court order that might be stopping them from getting a job, connecting with their relatives or moving on with their lives,” DA Stephan said. “We worked closely with our law enforcement partners to identify people who might qualify for removal while at the same time making sure we’re continuing to protect the public from those who still engage in gang-related crimes and activities.”

To qualify for removal from the list, a person: • cannot have a conviction for a violent felony for the past 10 years • must have remained out of custody and had no criminal convictions for the past five years (excluding minor traffic violations) • have had no activity that demonstrates continued loyalty to, or membership in a criminal street gang for the past five years In total, 42 percent of the individuals listed on 20 civil gang injunction lists affecting 12 gangs have been removed. The District Attorney sent letters in late February informing people their name had been purged from the lists, saying the action is “an effort to pursue justice that fairly reflects your current status as one moving away from the gang life.

This should assist you in removing any negative consequences that come from being on an injunction list.” It also notes that if the individual reengages in gang activity they could be added back on the injunction.

from joining gangs in the first place.”

Pastor Jesus Sandoval, Executive Director of San Diego’s Commission on Gang Prevention and Intervention, praised the collaboration that led to the removal of individuals from the injunctions.

“The Commissioners in our Sub-Committee for gang documentation laid the groundwork for this effort and did an outstanding job working with the DA and Chief of Police in advocating for this audit,” Sandoval said. “The removal of these names is in line with the Commission’s vision is to develop a more strategic, coordinated, and collaborative effort between the City and law enforcement agencies to curtail gang involvement and its negative impact in the City of San Diego.”

forcement. People wanting to find out if they’ve been removed you from an injunction can email SanDiegoDA@sdcda.org Individuals who believe they qualify and would like to petition for removal can fill out a Petition for Removal From Gang Injunction Enforcement form on the DA’s website at www.sdcda.org and submit it for review. In 2017, a former gang member from Oceanside who was listed on a gang injunction 13 years earlier had a petition to have his name removed from the list granted. Over the years, 20 individuals have petitioned for removal and 15 petitions have been granted.

“Every law enforcement agency in the county wants individuals to disassociate themselves from the gangs and the activity that landed them on the civil injunctions,” said Escondido Police Chief Craig Carter. ”Police departments across the county are joining the DA in being proactive in removing individuals from these injunctions and we hope other gang members see this as a motivation to end their gang affiliation and become a productive member of their community. We want nothing more than to keep our youth

The DA also says 66 individuals were removed from injunctions not for lack of gang or criminal activity but because the injunction no longer applied because they were either sentenced to life in prison, deceased or appear to have left the jurisdiction entirely.

“A budget reflects national priorities, and unfortunately the Trump Administration’s budget does not prioritize the need to ensure the American workforce has the skills necessary to compete in the changing global economy,” said Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies President Spencer Overton.

“The U.S. already ranks second to last of 33 developed countries in government support for training, according to the OECD. The President’s cuts— particularly to programs that serve African Americans and other underserved communities—reflect a lack of commitment to prepare our workforce as technology and other factors change the nature of work. Now more than ever, it is imperative that our nation show that we can make skills accessible to all Americans to stimulate economic mobility and to ensure American companies have the talent necessary to remain competitive.”

The Joint Center recently completed the most extensive survey on race and the future of work, and is currently working on research that highlights the significant impact of automation on Black communities and the importance of equity to effective workforce programs.

sonable accommodations persons with disabilities need and are entitled to under the law.”

“To abide by fair housing law, a landlord must accommodate a tenant or prospective tenant in good standing and with a disability, so long as the request is related to a physical or mental disability and it is reasonable,” said Regional Administrator Jimmy Stracner. “In short, a landlord should only deny the request if granting it would cause them undue financial and administrative burden or fundamentally alter the nature of their operations.”

The case came to HUD’s attention when the resident, who uses a wheelchair, filed a complaint alleging that his request for an assigned parking space in the development’s garage had been denied. The resident alleged that the owners and manager subsequently allowed him to park in non-assigned accessible spaces in the garage, but denied him the key that is necessary to enter the garage and to use the elevator. As a result, each time the resident wanted to enter the garage, he allegedly had to wait for another resident to open the gate, then follow that person in so he could use the elevator. The housing providers deny that they discriminated against the resident.

Under the terms of the Agreement, the owners and manager will pay the resident $17,000, modify their fair housing policy to include information about reasonable accommodations, comply with the provisions of Section 504 of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act, and attend fair housing training.

Persons who believe they have been victims of discrimination may file a complaint by contacting HUD’s Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity at (800) 669-9777 or (800) 927-9275 (TTY).

The Ongoing DA SCHUBERT MURDERS Case of Aleah STEPHON CLARK’S CHARACTER Jenkins and the San Diego Police

By Mark T. Harris Esq.

Special to California Black Media Partners

By Dr. John E. Warren Publisher

This week, the mother of the late Aleah Jenkins, who died while in San Diego Police custody, were present for the San Diego City Council Committee on Public Safety and Livable Neighborhoods. During public comment questions were raised as to why the “body camera” from the police officers involved in Ms. Jenkins’ incident has not been released? There were questions as to the conduct of the police officers involved and demands for an investigation with results to be made public. There were also questions as to the handling of this matter by both the Mayor and the Chief of Police.

It would appear that the questions being raised by the mother of the late Ms. Jenkins are very important ones. But there also appears to be a danger of the importance of the message getting lost in the people delivering the message. Committee Chairperson Monica Montgomery was more than sensitive when the protestors disrupted the rest of her committee meeting after public comment ended. She was more than gracious in recessing the committee while the protestors continued to speak out and demonstrate so

as to stop the committee’s work.

Council member Montgomery even proceeded to meet with the demonstrators during the recess she had called.

While the issues are serious and the need to be heard is important, if protestors want to see results beyond just being heard, then there must be an opportunity for those being talked with to take action. While, if San Diego Police, National City Police, the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office and the San Diego City Attorney’s Office are objects of protest, then the protest should be and must be laser-focused on these entities.

The idea is to gain public support, not cancel it.

This newspaper adds its voice to the demands for release of body camera footage, answers to questions raised in what should be an ongoing investigation and a greater demand for more policing of the police. When it comes to people dying, whether by gunshot by police or “in death” custody, all questions must be answered and without the sense of a “cover up.”

This past week, we, the freedombelieving and fair-minded residents of Sacramento, California, were disappointed to our cores. Our worst fears became reality.

The Sacramento AfricanAmerican community has been holding its collective breath, our fingers crossed, hanging on to the unlikely hope that either Ann Marie Schubert, our county district attorney, or Xavier Becerra, our state’s Attorney General, would do the right thing and bring charges against the officers who shot and killed Stephon Clark.

Unfortunately, Sacramento has developed a shameful legacy relative to the killing of unarmed AfricanAmerican men. Once again, our justice system has reinforced that reputation.

First, in April of 2016, Sacramento police officers shot and killed Mr. Daizon Flenaugh, a mentally ill Black man who cops said was exhibiting “strange behavior” and ranting incoherently before they took away his life. Mr. Flenaugh was found to not have any weapons on him at the time of his death.

Then in July of that same year, Mr. Joseph Mann was shot several times by Sacramento police after he “appeared agitated” and threw a plastic water bottle at them before attempting to flee. Unlike the circumstances surrounding Mr. Flenaugh’s killing, there were several video and audio transmissions that bolstered arguments that police

were acting with actual malice toward Mr. Mann.

Finally, in March of last year, Mr. Stephon Clark, who was clearly unarmed at the time of his death, became the latest and most widelyknown victim of the Sacramento Police Department.

None of the officers involved in the three shootings described above were required to face criminal charges.

Most distressing to us is this.

District Attorney Schubert in her lengthy recent press conference -and Attorney General Becerra in his shortly after - unconscionably and deliberately implied that Stephon Clark sought his own “death by police officers.” Our top legal officials who we entrust with the judgment and wisdom to stand up for our rights and protection justified their decision with the irrelevant evidence that Clark “researched ways to commit suicide” days before police officers tragically killed him.

This heartless attempt to assassinate Mr. Clark twice; once physically and once relative to his character, must not be tolerated!

Reasonable people might differ over many of the sad facts pertaining to the death of Stephon Clark.

However, what is beyond dispute are the following. First, at worst, Mr. Clark was accused of vandalizing automobiles. Second, he was unarmed. Third, he was trying to enter his grandmother’s home at the time of his death and not fleeing a contrived police chase leveled up to

the pursuit of someone suspected of domestic terrorism. Fourth, he was shot several times in the back or side of his body which would lend strong support to the theory that he was not approaching officers at the time of his death as claimed – unless, of course, he was doing so running backwards.

Attorney General Becerra’s decisions are now solely dispositive as they relate to an impartial evidence based inquiry into the death of Stephon Clark. Neither District Attorney Schubert nor Attorney General Becerra should be executing the responsibilities of a judge or jury. Their conclusions here, though, serve to cast them in those roles.

I would hope that we can take Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg at his word when he made the statement that the city of Sacramento is in need of substantial police reform. Further, I would hope that he and the entire city are not just now waking up to that realization. After all, those who live in certain neighborhoods within our city, or are economically disadvantaged or Black, have been telling city leaders the same for a very long time.

Demystifying Student Performance Via Parental Engagement

By Sharonica Nelson, Ed.D Professor, Professional Education Consultant, Author

Once students reach middle school, parents often become less engaged with their child’s academic environment. They don’t walk them in the school’s doors anymore, they don’t communicate as often with teachers, and they are less like to visit the school unless there is a special program or sporting event after hours. This is especially true for African American parents.

As a former classroom teacher in an urban, predominantly Black school, I have first-hand knowledge of this. During middle school, school becomes more or less a mystery to parents. However, under Every Student Succeeds Act, there is a push for parents to be more involved with

academic environment of their child.

Studies show that when parents are more actively involved in their child’s schools, the child tends to perform better academically.

Therefore, parental engagement is an important concept of discussion in terms of African American children’s performance.

Although parental engagement has a strong correlation to student academic performance and achievement, why is it that African American parents appear disproportionately less engaged than parents of other races?

Studies have shown that there are many factors that may hinder Black parents from being active in their child’s schooling. Factors include lacking confidence when speaking

to education professionals or fear of seeming incompetent, being the sole provider in the household with work hours that conflict with school hours, and not knowing how to approach school officials with proper questions specific to individual child concerns.

It is imperative that Black parents are not only involved but also engaged in their child’s schools.

Parents must not only be involved through participating in schoolplanned functions, but they must also create their own spaces and opportunities for active engagement to demystify student performance.

There are many ways to do so, which include: Use school system provided platforms to keep up with grades.The school system may provide this service for free, and it may be associated with a special code or password for log in.

Parents should check with the school

secretary for information on this.

Frequently checking student grades and holding them accountable for their grades can send strong messages to students in terms of performance.

Know when reports cards are due.

School systems may send home a calendar with this information, they may provide automated calls as a reminder, and the dates may be readily accessible on the school system website. It is ultimately up to the parents to stay abreast of report cards and not wait until the last grading quarter to show concern over grades.

It’s too late then.

Email teachers.Email is a quick form of communication that most people use directly from their phones. Most teachers use emails frequently. Make use of this to maintain constant contact and communication with your child’s teacher. Most teachers prefer to hear from parents with concerns of student progress and would happily

engage to inform parents concerning their children.

Check teacher webpages.Many teachers have webpages that they frequently update with pertinent information pertaining to their classroom. This information may include due dates, skills and concepts to be covered, and materials needed for upcoming projects and assignments.

Create a parent network. Many parents may not have the time or resources to be involved with the formal PTA (Parent Teacher Association). They may decide to create social media groups that keep all parents abreast of current happenings within the school.

This could be a simple, easy way to connect to other parents of students within same educational setting for accurate, current information concerning the child’s school.

She was the fifth child born to the late Reverend Alfred and Essie Quinn and excitedly welcomed by her three sisters and one brother. She was preceded in death by her parents all of her siblings.

Danny enjoyed her childhood as a minister’s daughter being taught caring, sharing and training which was to serve as a precursor to all her later years. Those qualities instilled to her forever a fond and lasting love for family and friends. She attended public schools in Santa Monica, California. In 1943, the family moved to San Diego, California when her father was sent to Bethel A.M.E. Church as pastor.

After graduating from San Diego High School, she continued her education at San Diego City College and San Diego State University.

Shortly after the completion of her education, she married Marvin C. Brown of the United States Army. A son and daughter were born to this union. Not one to sit still, Danny participated in many church and community activities. She was a charter member of the Ada B. Cleveland Chapter 71, OES, the Women of Wonder Red Hat Society; Membership Coordinator of several local social clubs, member of the Democratic and League of Women Organization, including several other civic groups.

With all of her activities, she was very active in her church throughout the years of serving as choir director, secretary, pianist, class leader, bible study and assisted other church functions for music.

Danny was employed at the Naval Aviation Depot for thirty years. She received many awards, was editor of the Command Newspaper, served as Public Affairs Specialist and named Federal Employee of the year for exemplary service.

Her participation in so many phases of fun-travels, especially cruises to various places will be remembered by the many friends and relatives.

Very early in Danny’s life, her Christian parents lit a spiritual flame which never diminished. She remained faithful until our Heavenly Father set her undaunted spirit free. She went forward to meet her maker unafraid.

In 1945, Stephanie came to the United States, where she resided with her aunt and uncle. Born in the Catholic faith, Stephanie united with St. Rita’s Catholic Church.

Shortly afterwards, she met the love of her life, Lee James Brooks. Their meeting was love at first sight; they met one week and got married the next week in November of 1945. Their union was beautifully blessed with four children: Errol, Hermon, Paulette and Jerry. Her beloved husband passed away on October 10, 2016. The following month, they would have celebrated seventy-one years of marriage.

Stephanie, worked several jobs before joining the San Diego Unified School District in Food Services. She was known for her strong work ethics and ambition to provide a good living for her family. During the late 1980s, she retired after more than twenty years of service of excellence.

After retirement, Stephanie delighted herself with beautiful crocheting, going to swap meets and thrift stores, and gardening. She undoubtably had a green thumb. Her garden was filled with prize-winning roses of all colors and variations. Stephanie also enjoyed traveling, especially to visit and reunite with her family in Jamaica. This was an annual event which she always looked forward to with great anticipation.

One of Stephanie’ proudest moment was during the early-1950s, when she became a citizen of the United States of America. She would often say “I’m from Jamaica, I have my papers, I am a citizen and you can’t send me back!” Whenever Stephanie would see the American flag, she would make the sign of the cross. She had many sayings such as: “I feel good now that I hear your voice”, “You can look but don’t touch” and “I will give you a Jamaican punch!”

Stephanie was a very loving mother, grandmother and greatgrandmother. She always attended her children and grandchildren’s sport events, open house, special awards, and was always front and center at the wedding celebrations.

Stephanie was preceded in death by her parents and her sister, Mauriel.

‘Passing the Torch’ INSPIRES ACTIVISM AND ENGAGEMENT Clarence B. Jones, surrounded by students

Voice & Veiwpoint Newswire

High Tech High Graduate School of Education & Gateway Educational Foundation Honor Atty. Clarence B. Jones The High Tech High Graduate School of Education and Gateway Educational Foundation hosted “Passing The Torch: From Selma to Today” on Thursday February 27, 2019. The two-part event featured a morning program for over 300 San Diego county high-school students, and an evening presentation open to the public at High Tech High - The Forum.

Both events featured a preview from the film “Passing the Torch”, a powerful spoken word performance by the artist Rain Wilson, live musical performance by percussionist Yiriba Thomas, and a Live Q&A with Dr. Jones.

Dr. Clarence B. Jones, a personal attorney, and adviser to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., engaged in a open conversation centered around his past to present activism and social justice work. Dr. Jones who notably

helped smuggle out the “Letter from Birmingham Jail” shared his personal narrative as a torchbearer, at the height of the civil rights movement, to his present-day leadership in public policy reform.

Passing The Torch was emceed

by Channelle McNutt, a Principal Consultant for Jones & Associates Consulting, and a San Diego Business Journal “40 Under 40” Honoree.

Other notable were Matthew Gordon, former adviser for Council President Myrtle Cole and current Membership Development Chair of the National Urban League Young Professionals, as well as Andres Chavez, activist and grandson of Cesar Chavez.

In the community, he served as Vice President of the Young Progressive Coalition of Central California, where he was influential in hosting a Rock the Vote-style concert and opening a community garden in an underserved neighborhood.

Jones, named Fortune Magazine’s “Man of the Month” twice, has received numerous awards for his service and appeared on CNN, the O’Reilly Factor, NPR, and other media outlets. He was named a Scholar in Residence at

Stanford University’s Martin Luther King, Jr. Research and Education Institute, during which time he wrote and published two books about his experiences with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Passing the Torch includes a book signing of his latest publication, “Behind the Dream”.

High Tech High Graduate School of Education, supports teachers, educational leaders and school founders in reimagining schools with a focus on equity, deeper learning and shared leadership. The GSE is embedded within the 13 High Tech High K-12 schools, providing a rich context for personalized, hands-on learning and the integration of theory and practice Gateway Educational Foundation/ Institute is focused on educating today’s youth and young adults to the rich Civil Rights/ Voting Rights History of Selma, Alabama… And to honor the role its courageous men, women and children played in shaping this great Nation through their personal sacrifices.

Passing the Torch of non-violent civic engagement to today’s youth…Giving Black, Latino and low-income students, “a sense of belonging,” in any college environment.

8th Annual Gospel Comedy Show Photos and Article By Chelsea Porter

On Saturday March 9th, Senior Pastor Dennis Hodges, First Lady Deborah Hodges and The Church of Yeshua Ha Mashiach, located at 1819 Englewood Drive Lemon Grove, CA 91942, held its 8th Annual Gospel Comedy Show hosted

by Lester Barrie.

Sunday morning services. It was an immediate home run that connected with many in the audience that shared a strong church upbringing in their youth. His comedy was of course clean, yet still a gut busting enjoyable good time! I witnessed it along with many others.

“ It was my very first time, it exceeded all my expectations it was a great show, all the comedians were awesome,” one member of the audience named Ariel said. Anthong, another audience member, said, “It was great, it was way better than I thought would be, I laughed hard.”

Lester’s joke about his mom constantly praying for him during his youthful journey of balancing the church and his desire to go to the club with his friends was really funny, and sneaking into his parent’s house after a night out was a joke that landed with much success!

Barrie was charming and kept the energy level of the crowd elevated from the moment the lights went up, and on throughout the night, and in between the sets of the night’s two comics, Cizzle C and Evan Lionel.

Lastly, his joke about really being a contestant on Family Feud and mistakenly uttering the words “coconut meat” was priceless, and it alone was worth the time and effort put forth to attend the show.

He humorously kept the night proceeding smoothly with snappy dialogue and his hilariously astute observations of the audience who willingly participated in his delightful brand of interactive banter and humor.

The first performer of the evening was Cizzle C. He opened his set with a thoroughly enjoyable joke about old fashioned church choirs marching into

The second performer of the night was Evan Lionel. This witty Chicago-bred comedian delighted the crowd as he reminisced with the audience about his single parent upbringing and quickly connected in a major way.

“It was absolutely hilarious, and it gets better every year that I come,” said audience member Yvonne.

Lionel’s jokes bought back a lot of

memories for the over-30 crowd in the attendance with subjects like the phones on kitchen walls with the overstretched cords. What a walk down memory lane.

He took the crowd back to their childhood years but kept it modern day as he delved into the trials of his being a parent in this day and age. It was so funny and relatable.

Lionel rounded up his jovial set with jokes poking fun at racial stereotypes used by most comedians, the difference here being that he emphasized the importance of ultimately being a united human race in these particular polarizing times.

Julie, another audience member present, commented, “It was my first experience coming to a church comedy, I had no idea what it was about and I discovered from the first second it started this was going to be a ride of laughter and it was much needed too! I give it 5 stars and would come next year again!”

Many present agreed: they are looking forward to attending next year and urge anyone that hasn’t been, to do themselves a favor and catch this showcase when it comes back.

CELEBRATING WOMEN

1619 of Black Women

National Celebration

showcases contributions made nationwide

Staff Writer Voice & Viewpoint

The marchers, filled with women and girls of all ages, were treated to appearances by local dignitaries, including an inspirational speech by CA Assemblywoman Dr. Shirley Weber, other speakers, poetry, vendors, and jazz by local musicians. The march route ended at Ruocco Park, at the north end of Seaport Village.

Saturday, March 2, 1619 National Celebration of Black Women, Inc (NCBW) ushered in Women’s History Month with a celebration and march to honor the contributions Black women have made throughout history, share their stories, and to keep the conversation going about what Black women mean to America. Harriet Tubman, Ida B. Wells, Sojourner Truth, and Fannie Lou Hamer, and many many other women come to mind. Over 200 women gathered at the corner of Harbor Drive and Park in front of the San Diego Convention Center, to not only pay tribute to these and many other African American women in our history for one day, but for years to come.

“There is so much about African American history and women’s history that is unknown. There are a lot of stories told about African American and black women in this country and all of them are not positive, but there are so many wonderful things and accomplishments that we’ve made in the area of politics, of sports, and entertainment, women’s health,” said Alice Kennedy, NCBW Co-founder and Board Member, in a KUSI interview. “This is an opportunity for us to share that and to celebrate that and to be an example for young women and girls.”

2019 marks 400 years since the first slave ships carried African captives into the port of Jamestown, Virginia in August 1619. The founder and visionary of 1619 NCBW, Ms. Sheryl Mallory-Johnson, noted that her mission, in envisioning the event, was to, in her words, “Honor women in American history who have emerged from slavery, defied the odds and came out victorious.

Women,” Mallory-Johnson said, “who bred, fed, and nurtured an entire nation.”

On January 8, 2018, the 400 Years of African-American History Commission was established and signed into public law to plan, develop, and carry out programs and activities throughout the United States to recognize and highlight 400 years of African-American contributions. To learn more about the 1619 National Celebration of Black Women, Inc., visit their website at www.1619nationalcelebrationofblackwomen.com.

Mallory-Johnson established the nationwide march, with its official celebration here in San Diego, to educate, uplift, and inspire African American women and girls to ‘walk in their power and not in their defeats.’

N’S HISTORY MONTH march for black women

Draws Diverse Crowd

Photography by Voice & Viewpoint

MARCH Continuation from Cover Euclid to Kennedy Park behind Lincoln High School, chanting passionately, peacefully and holding signs promoting justice and equity.

“Black women’s’ lives are at risk every day. From teenage girls being thrown by police officers in schools to our trans sisters being killed in the streets—it is time our existence is truly respected. Real respect comes in the form of respecting our bodies; ending rape, deportation, and incarceration; ensuring everyone has health care; and prioritizing economic justice for low-income black women,” said Nyisha Green-Washington, one of the many co-organizers of the event.

“Black girls matter! Black girls matter!” These and other chants were heard throughout the crowd. Speakers at the rally included Brandee Joyner, Hamdi Mohamed, Syra Evans, Pamela Wood, Khadijah Abdulmateen, Myisha, and Brittany Lashawn, each passionately advocating for respect for Black Women and girls. They encouraged women to advocate for themselves in every area of their lives, honor their stories and refuse to be ignored or treated as second class citizens.

A few 8th graders in the crowd who are Youth Ambassadors for Focused And Naturally Confident Youth (F.A.N.C.Y.), a nonprofit teen girls program, were energized by the experience. Ka’jah Peterson said, “I think the march is representing how we should have respect for everybody and support what they do. It might not be Black Power or women’s justice, but justice for everybody. Maliyah Hicks noted that the march showed her how people can band together. “People can come together and fight for the same cause, even if it doesn’t specifically affect you,” she said.

The girls, who stood out in the crowd with their matching bright pink F.A.N.C.Y. hoodies, agreed that the event inspired them to find more ways to be helpful in the community. “Once you realize how easy it is to be a part of these things. When you see it on the news it’s kind of scary but when you’re actually here you realize that everyone just wants the same thing. Everyone just want more people to be aware.”

The march organizers originally convened with Black Lives Matter San Diego. The march held Sunday grew out of two 2017 town hall meetings to discuss the current political and economic climate that adversely affects black women.

Domestic abuse, rape, incarceration, lack of access to mental health care, and housing were all topics of concern, and each of topic was further illuminated Saturday, March 9 at the group’s Black Women’s Summit held at Skyline Library.

The Black Women’s Summit, designed to build community prior to Sunday’s march, was attended by over 100 women and girls. Kelsey Daniels, who co-organized the march along with Christina Griffith-Jones and others, said, “At a march, it’s hard to have a dialogue. We wanted to have a talk back session with feedback on the important issues we needed to discuss. That’s why we had the summit.”

Sunday’s march was the second annual San Diego Black Women’s March. Organizers plan for it to continue each year. The group is planning an April feedback session open to all community members in preparation for next year’s march.

The March for Black Women seeks to uplift the needs of black women in San Diego in order to find solutions and healing. Marchers had the following demands: • Demand 1: Acknowledge and challenge centuries of abuses, that is still happening, including sexual violence, and reproductive violations against black bodies, especially the brutalization of trans women, black girls, ALL BLACK WOMXN.

• Demand 2: Cease and desist all threats of incarceration, incidences of rape and sexual misconduct, police murder, violence against black women, especially trans women and deportation of immigrant women across the country, especially those whose deportation may cost them their lives and safety.

• Demand 3: End the threat to the human right to healthcare and increase access, • Demand 4: Ensure economic including reproductive healthcare, bar justice for low-income women at the none! communal and federal level, many of whom are at increased risk of violence due to lack of economic power.

Event organizers plan to develop strategies to meet the demands above in the coming years through organizing, community building, policy, and advocacy on the municipal and county-level.

“For the first time in history, there are more than 20 Black women serving in the United State Congress—and we all stand on the shoulders of Shirley Chisholm,” said Senator Harris. “Shirley’s legacy inspires us to continue our fight to give a voice to the voiceless and pursue justice and equality for every American.

INSUFFICIENT TRAINING FOR PILOTS SUSPECTED IN DEADLY

ETHIOPIAN CRASH

Global Information Network

Fifty three minutes. That was the length of time approved by the U.S. Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) for pilot training on the upgraded Boeing 737 Max 8 jet that crashed Sunday in Ethiopia killing all aboard, according to a spokesman for the Allied Pilots Association.

Nor was the 53 minutes for face to face training. It was “computer assisted” over a laptop with slides and imagery. Some of the pilots felt shortchanged.

Reports in The New York Times suggest that Boeing was able to convince the FAA that the 737 pilots would not have to undergo costly retraining because the upgraded plane was enough like the older model.

This worried the pilots group. The tragedy of Lion Air, the Ethiopia predecessor, was a focus of intense debate in aviation circles because of the determination by Boeing and the FAA that pilots did not need to be informed about a change introduced to the 737’s flight control system for the MAX.

Two U.S. pilots’ unions said the potential risks of a safety feature on Boeing Co.’s 737 Max aircraft that had been linked to a deadly crash in Indonesia weren’t sufficiently spelled out in their manuals or training.

The Lion Air crash took the lives of 189 people. The cause of the disaster is still under investigation.

Meanwhile, relatives, co-workers and friends of the Ethiopian Air victims remain stunned at the untimely loss of over 149 passengers and eight crew members. Flight 302, known as the “U.N. shuttle” to some, was carrying at least 32 Kenyans, 8 Canadians, nine each from Ethiopian and France, eight each from the U.S., China and Italy, seven from Britain.

Some were employed at the U.N.’s World Food Program, six were from the U.N. office in Nairobi, and two each for its Office of the High Commissioner on Human Rights and the International Telecommunications Union.

The Food and Agriculture Organization, International Organization for Migration in South Sudan, World Bank and the UN Assistance Mission in Somalia (UNSOM) each lost one staff member. Six staff from the UN Office in Nairobi (UNON) were also tragically killed.

Mohammed. Mr. Getachew had more than 8,000 flight hours. He was a “confident captain” according to his family.

Among the private citizens lost in the crash was Pius Adesanmi, professor and news columnist, “a rare being, ebullient, with a razor-sharp mind,” wrote Nigerian author O.C. Osundu. “He was what the Yoruba call an Omoluabi yet when it came to polemics he could easily morph into a jaguda... good night my brother…we both came a long way. Nigeria has lost one of those who loved her most.”

Professor Adesanmi, before Sunday’s Flight, posted an eerily prescient photo of himself holding his Canadian passport, along with the text of Psalm 139.9-10.

The flight was carrying a high number of UN workers because it was the day before a session of the UN Environment Assembly.

“If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,” it read, “even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me.”

The airline identified the pilot as Yared Getachew and the first officer as Ahmednur

ALGERIAN PRESIDENT BOWS TO THOUSANDS GATHER IN NAIROBI

THOUSANDS DEMANDING TO CLEAN UP THE EARTH

HIS RESIGNATION

Global Information Network

Heads of state, government ministers, business leaders, senior UN officials and grassroots activists are gathering in Nairobi this week for the fourth UN Environment Assembly - the world’s top body on the environment.

This year’s theme is “Innovative Solutions for Environmental Challenges and Sustainable Consumption and Production.”

The assembly is expected to draw the largest gathering in the group’s short history – with attendance almost double the last event in December 2017. Prominent world leaders will attend, including the Presidents of France and Kenya, Emmanuel Macron and Uhuru Kenyatta, and CEOs from major corporations.

A. Bouteflika

Decisions have a profound impact on the goals of the Paris Agreement and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, as well as paving the way towards the UN Climate Change Summit 2019 and impacting the overall UN agenda.

Global Information Network

Weeks of mass protests across Algeria ended in victory for thousands of demonstrators who had been urging the gravely ill President Abdelaziz Bouteflika to step down.

This week, President Bouteflika appeared to give in to their demands. He canceled the April 18 presidential elections and said he will not seek another term in office.

“There will be no fifth term,” Mr Bouteflika was quoted to say. “There was never any question of it for me. Given my state of health and age, my last duty towards the Algerian people was always contributing to the foundation of a new Republic.”

The leader of Algeria for the past 20 years, he has rarely been seen in public since suffering a paralyzing stroke in 2013.

Last week he pledged to step down early if reelected - but the guarantee failed to satisfy the thousands of demonstrators.

Strikes by teachers and students, as well as shops closing and train services being suspended, had been gaining the support of ever larger crowds since the protests began about a month ago.

Resolutions on the table will address sustainable consumption and production patterns, protection of the marine environment from plastic pollution, food waste, and technological innovation that combats climate change, and reduces resource use and biodiversity loss.

Then on Monday more than 1,000 judges said they would refuse to oversee the planned general election were he a candidate.

UN Environment’s Acting Executive Director, Joyce Msuya of Tanzania, appealed to nations to step up and start delivering real change.

The military’s chief of staff, Lt Gen Gaed Salah, said the military and the people had a united vision of the future - the strongest indication so far that the armed forces were sympathetic to the protests.

“Time is running short. We are past pledging and politicking. We are past commitments with little accountability. What’s at stake is life, and society, as the majority of us know it and enjoy it today,” she wrote in a policy letter.

On Monday night, hundreds of youths waving flags celebrated Mr. Bouteflika’s decision in Algiers. Cars horns honked and families poured out into the streets.

“It’s clear that we need to transform the way our economies work, and the way we value the things that we consume,” said Msuya. “The goal is to break the link between growth and increased resource use, and end our throwaway culture.”

Though unrest was limited at a national level, there were many local protests, often sparked by a failure of the state to provide basic services and aggravated by high unemployment and an acute housing shortage.

“It’s one small battle won,” said Yasmine Bouchene of the collective Les Jeunes Engagés (Activist Youth). “Bouteflika asked for another year and he got his way. But we are willing to keep on fighting,” she said.

This year, it is reported that India will be leading two global resolutions at the assembly: one on nitrogen pollution and the other on the use of plastics. It will be a historic event as India has not pushed for such important resolutions at the UN in recent times.

India is the third region to have assessed the environmental implications of nitrogen pollution after the U.S. and the European Union. In 2017, India completed this assessment under the leadership of N. Raghuram, the current chairman of the International Nitrogen Initiative.

J. Msuyu

Agriculture has been the main source of nitrogen pollution as cereals like rice and wheat use only one-third of the nitrogen applied through fertilizers discharging the rest into the surrounding environment.

Pakistan may raise the issue of Indian air strikes at the assembly calling it ‘eco-terrorism’.

The air strikes carried on February 26 have allegedly damaged around 15 pine trees.

The UN Environment’s report highlights five major issues of emerging global concern: synthetic biology, permafrost peatlands, ecological connectivity, the nitrogen fix, and maladaptation to climate change. If not addressed urgently, these issues can accelerate climate change and compromise ecosystem resilience—having detrimental impacts on our economy.

The meeting opened with a statement by organizers on the crash of Ethiopian Airlines flight ET 302. It was a terrible loss for the United Nations, for our member states and for the environmental community.

“The environmental community is in mourning today. Many of those that lost their lives were en-route to provide support and participate in the UN Environment Assembly. We lost UN staff, youth delegates travelling to the Assembly, seasoned scientists, members of academia and other partners.

“We join the Secretary-General in expressing our heartfelt condolences to the families and loved ones of all the victims who perished in this tragedy.

“The entire UN Environment Assembly will honor them in our efforts this week.”

New County Program Offers Relief for Alzheimer’s, Dementia Caregivers

Local College Students Battle Homelessness and Hunger

By Tom Christensen County of San Diego Communications Office

A new San Diego County program is offering sorely needed relief to those caring for local residents with Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia.

The new Respite Voucher Program, started at the request of Board of Supervisors Chairwoman Dianne Jacob, provides family members and others who need a break with a voucher to cover half the cost of hiring a fillin caregiver. Jacob and Supervisor Kristin Gaspar are leading the effort, working with San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer, philanthropist Darlene Shiley, world-class brain researchers, law enforcement officials and others.

“As the number of San Diegans with Alzheimer’s disease grows, so does the strain on many families as they struggle to help their loved one deal with this devastating illness,” Jacob said.

The program is run by two local groups, Southern Caregiver Resource Center and Coast Care Partners. They provide respite services and support, with the County and each caregiver splitting the expense 50/50.

The hope is to provide relief to caregivers who are not eligible for In-Home Supportive Services and don’t have the means themselves to pay for respite care.

More than 84,000 County residents have the disease or another type of dementia. It is the region’s third leading cause of death.

For more information about the new voucher program, call: Southern Caregiver Resource Center: 858-268-4432, Coast Care Partners: 619-350-2768, Aging and Independence Services Call Center: 800-339-4661.

KEEP ACTIVE, BE FIT, STAY ENGAGED.

An increasing number of local community college students face homelessness and many struggle with food insecurity, according to a Hope Center survey, which is the nation’s largest annual assessment of basic needs security among college students.

In terms of hunger, students surveyed at City College said they faced challenges being able to afford nutritionally adequate food.

Students at Mesa College reported difficulty meeting basic needs. At Miramar College, students reported challenges affording a meal. Students at Continuing Education faced food insecurity.

Alvarado Hospital has a number of health and fitness programs ideal for seniors to help keep you fit in both body and mind!

Under our PALS community programs, we offer classes such as our Senior Fitness Class, our Alvarado Balance Class, and the “Back Nine” Senior Golf Program, which is led by a PGA professional and licensed recreation and physical therapists. All are designed to sharpen your motor skills and strengthen your body.

address issues raised by the report.

“I have advocated for a number of approaches to stem the tide of these basic needs challenges, they lie in more resources to students (fixing financial aid), creating better connections to city, county and state resources for our students, providing emergency funding, and change through legislation and state restrictions on providing housing for community college students.”

This is the third survey of the SDCCD has participated in since 2015. The scope of the problem is staggering when you consider that the district annually serves approximately 100,000 students.

District representatives are closely reviewing the findings and working with colleagues locally and statewide to identify resources to assist students. In response to the previous surveys, the district’s colleges and Continuing Education have each established food and clothing pantries, sponsored farmers markets where students receive fresh produce at no cost, and work with community partners to address students’ basic needs.

The Hope Center’s #RealCollege survey found that, 21 percent of students at San Diego City College said they do not have a stable place to live, up from 15 percent in 2017. Eighteen percent of students at San Diego Mesa College identified themselves as homeless, up from 12 percent. At both San Diego Miramar College and San Diego Continuing Education, the percentage of homeless students increased from 10 percent to 17 percent. This compares with the statewide average for community college students of 19 percent.

For the third year in a row, the San Diego Public Library (SDPL) will host a series of science-focused classes and workshops, part of a city-wide effort to prepare young people for careers in STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics) subjects.

02030.121718

Spring into STEAM programs are offered for free to youth ages nine through 12. This year, the theme is Dive In! and libraries will offer programming in collaboration with local science experts and organizations including Microsoft, San Diego Coastkeeper, ThoughtSTEM and The League of Extraordinary Scientists and Engineers.

“There is no question about the importance of introducing STEAM concepts to youth as early as possible,” said Library Director Misty Jones. “At SDPL, we are offering programs throughout the entire library system so that all San Diego youth have an opportunity to participate. We are fortunate to have so many partners that want to help us achieve this

goal.”

Classes and workshops will be held at all 36 libraries across the City during the months of March, April and May. There are six programs to choose from: Making Waves – learn about the science behind sea life and build your own watershed; Go Beneath the Waves with Minecraft – code your own aquatic environment using Microsoft technology; Hurricanes vs. Houses – learn how tropical storms come about and the impact on land and sea; Create-a-Creature – see how marine life has adapted over time; and Underwater Coding – learn coding using Scratch, a visual computer programming language Program dates, times and locations are available on the library’s website: sandiego. gov/pu bl ic-l i br a r y/s pr i n g-i nt o - s t e a m .

7,500 African Americans With Disabilities Lost Jobs

Voice & Veiwpoint Newswire

New statistics released in February show that African Americans with disabilities are being left behind even as more and more people with disabilities enter the workforce.

Disability at the University of New Hampshire shows that the employment rate for African Americans with disabilities stands at 28.6 percent. The Compendium also shows that geography has an impact on employment outcomes for African Americans with disabilities.

The newly published 2018 Annual Disability Statistics Compendium compiles data collected by the U.S. Census Bureau. The Compendium is intended to equip policymakers, self-advocates and other groups with clear statistics on the state of disability in America today.

Out of more than three million working-age African Americans with disabilities, barely 934,589 have jobs. This data also shows the serious gaps that remain between disabled and non-disabled African Americans. According to the Compendium, 28.6 percent of U.S. African American civilians with disabilities ages 18-64 living in the community had a job, compared to 73.7 percent of blacks without disabilities.

Comparing new data to last year’s results shows that more than 7,500 African Americans with disabilities left the workforce in 2017. These losses occurred even as other segments of the disability community continued to see job gains.

“The most recent employment data demonstrates the need for a national dialogue, reinforced by a commitment to leverage the power of partnerships to identify highly responsive, innovative strategies for transforming the underemployment paradigm for people with disabilities including African Americans with disabilities,” said Janet LaBreck, an African American woman who is blind. She also is the founder of Synergy Consulting Partners, a noted workforce development expert and RespectAbility board member.

“As a black woman with a disability, ableism, sexism and racism are nothing new to my daily experiences,” said Tatiana Lee, a communications fellow

with RespectAbility. Lee is a black woman who uses a wheelchair as a result of spina bifida. “It shouldn’t be a choice which identity people choose to see and value at a given moment, especially when those who live with these multiple identities cannot separate them and shouldn’t have to. I want to be celebrated for all my identities and everything that comes with them.”

Opportunities to enter the workforce very much depend on where a person lives. In Texas, which is home to one of the largest African American communities of any state, more than 8,800 African Americans with a variety of disabilities got new jobs. Likewise, 5,191 African Americans with disabilities living in New York state entered the workforce in 2017.

However, in far too many states, African Americans are leaving the workforce, experiencing discrimination and being denied the opportunity to earn an income.

Out of the 50 states, African Americans with disabilities only saw job gains in 22 states, while they lost jobs in 28 states. The worst job losses experienced by African Americans with disabilities came in Missouri.

Likewise, Pennsylvania saw a major drop in both the number of African Americans with disabilities and in the state’s disability employment rate for African Americans with disabilities. In total, 6,974 African Americans with disabilities lost their jobs and the disability employment rate has dropped to 24.9 percent.

In the private sector, when employers recognize the importance of including disability in their diversity initiatives, success follows. According to Vincenzo Piscopo of the Coca-Cola Company, “People with disabilities bring a unique skill set that it is very valuable for companies.

As it relates to employment and competitiveness in the workplace, we have to stop thinking of disability as a weakness and start thinking of it as an asset.”

Brand name companies such as JP Morgan Chase, Pepsi, UPS, Ernst & Young, IBM, Walgreen’s, Starbucks, Walgreens and the software corporation SAP show people with disabilities are successful employees. They also

disabilities, autism.

As more and more companies hire employees with disabilities, conversations are shifting from just dealing with architectural barriers to talking about attitudinal barriers. “Employment rates only tell part of the story,” said Philip Kahn-Pauli, policy and practices director at RespectAbility. “When you look at the employment rates among people with disabilities across racial lines, you find serious gaps in outcomes.”

When asked about the troubling statistics and employment losses experienced by African Americans with disabilities, Dr. Walton is both determined and optimistic.

“Black people with disabilities — yesterday and today – have made significant contributions throughout American history, contributing to the growth and strength of our nation in countless recorded and unrecorded ways.

As we commemorate this Black History Month, let us celebrate the magic of intersection — of living black and disabled — and being inclusive of the accomplishments of countless African American contemporaries, like myself, living with disabilities and making history every day.”

According to the Census Bureau, there are in total, more than 56 million Americans living with some form of disability and that includes 5.4 million African Americans with disabilities. This can include visible conditions such as spinal cord injuries, visual impairments or hearing loss to people living with invisible disabilities such as learning

Newsrooms Still Lack Women and Individuals of Color

By Stacy M. Brown NNPA Newswire Correspondent

With observances planned throughout March to commemorate Women’s History Month, a new report revealed that women are still mostly absent from newsrooms.

The Women’s Media Center’s 2019 reporton the status of women in U.S. media shows that despite some gains, men still dominate in every part of news, entertainment and digital media.

“The media is in a state of great disruption, but despite all of the change, one thing remains the same: the role of women is significantly smaller than that of men in every part of news, entertainment and digital media,” Julie Burton, president of the Women’s Media Center(WMC), said in a news release.

Burton said the data in the report paints a stark picture.

“It is clear that a cultural, systemic shift is necessary if all parts of the U.S media are to achieve gender and racial parity and move toward a world where stories fully represent the voices and perspectives of diverse women,” she said.

The report titled, “The Status of Women in the U.S. Media 2019,” is comprised of 94 studies, including original research by WMC and aggregated research from academia, industry and professional groups, labor unions, media watchdogs, newsrooms and other sources.

The report noted that across all media platforms, men receive 63 percent of bylines and credits; women receive only 37 percent.

“Women have been fighting for greater parity and equality in the news media for decades,” said one of WMC’s co-chairs Maya Harris.

The report is inclusive and also features WMC’s “The Status of Women of Color in the U.S. News Media 2019,” which offers a rare look at where women journalists of color are – and aren’t – in legacy print, radio, TV, and digital news.

“Missing women of color in the newsrooms of this country is an injustice in itself, and an injustice to every American reader and viewer who is deprived of great stories and a full range of facts,” said WMC co-founder Gloria Steinem.

The 2018 Empowering women in Media, a networking and panel event that presented women of color in media sharing their stories with other women who are looking to break into the world of media/En la Escena/Kizzy Cox.

“Inclusiveness in the newsroom means inclusiveness in the news. Racism and sexism put blinders on everyone,” Steinem said.

“As part of their day-to-day work, women journalists often face a torrent of harassment, denigration, and threats … and the point of this hostility is to silence women, most frequently women of color,” said Soraya Chemaly, director of WMC’s Speech Project.

Some of the findings in the report include: The American Society of News Editors’ latest tally found that women comprised 41.7 percent and people of color 22.6 percent of the overall workforce in those responding newsrooms.

Sports desks at 75 of the nation’s newspapers and online news sites earned a “B+” for racial diversity, a “D+” for gender and racial diversity, combined, and a sixth consecutive “F” for lack of gender equity.

Editors of the nation’s 135 most widely distributed newspapers are overwhelmingly male and White.

69 percent of news wire bylines are snagged

by men, 31 percent by women; 63 percent of TV prime-time news broadcasts feature male anchors and correspondents; 37 percent feature women; 60 percent of online news is written by men, 40 percent by women; 59

percent of print news is written by men, 41 percent by women. (Women’s Media Center) View the complete report at https://tools. womensmediacenter.com.
