The number of U.S. children orphaned during the COVID-19 pandemic may be larger than previously estimated, and the toll has been far greater among Black and Hispanic Americans, a new study suggests.

More than half the children who lost a primary caregiver during the pandemic belonged to those two racial groups, which make up about 40% of the U.S. population, according to the study published Thursday by the medical journal Pediatrics.

“These findings really highlight those children who have been left most vulnerable by the pandemic, and where additional resources should be directed,” one of the study’s authors, Dr. Alexandra Blenkinsop of See CAREGIVERS page 2

ARTICLE CONTINUATION Caregivers: Continued from cover

Imperial College London, said in a statement.

During 15 months of the nearly 19-month COVID19 pandemic, more than 120,000 U.S. children lost a parent or grandparent who was a primary provider of financial support and care, the study found. Another 22,000 children experienced the death of a secondary caregiver — for example, a grandparent who provided housing but not a child’s other basic needs.

In many instances, surviving parents or other relatives remained to provide for these children. But the researchers used the term “orphanhood” in their study as they attempted to estimate how many children’s lives were upended.

Federal statistics are not yet available on how many U.S. children went into foster care last year. Researchers estimate COVID-19 drove a 15% increase in orphaned children.

The new study’s numbers are based on statistical modeling that used fertility rates, death statistics and house-

something the San Diego Black Homebuyers Program says that a majority of Black people don’t have due to a lack of access and systematic oppression, such as restrictive laws put in place to keep people of color from owning homes.

The Homebuyers Program hopes to change that by improving the racial wealth gap in San Diego by specifically investing in generational wealth-building through Black home ownership. Applicants that are approved will receive up to $40,000 dollars in a grant to be used towards a down payment or closing cost on a home purchase.

Migration: Continued from cover

During its third meeting, California’s Task Force to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans looked at reasons formerly enslaved Black people migrated to the Golden State -- and detailed setbacks they faced after arriving.

During the period historians dub the “Great Migration”– which lasted from the early 1900s through the 1970s – approximately six million Black Americans relocated from Deep South states to Northern, Midwestern, Eastern and Western states.

Significant numbers ended up in California, escaping Jim Crow laws and racial violence and seeking economic opportunity.

Isabel Wilkerson, author of “The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America’s Great Migration, “described the movement as “a redistribution of Black people.”

“It was the only time in America’s histor y that American citizens had to flee the land of their birth just to be recognized as the

hold composition data to make estimates. An earlier study by different researchers estimated that roughly 40,000 U.S. children lost a parent to COVID-19 as of February 2021.

The two studies’ findings are not inconsistent, said Ashton Verdery, an author of the earlier study. Verdery and his colleagues focused on a shorter time period than the new study. Verdery’s group also focused only on deaths of parents, while the new paper also captured what happened to caregiving grandparents.

“It is very important to

don’t stop at simply accumulating wealth; according to a report by Habitat for Humanity, a non-profit organization focused on housing, it also benefits an individual’s health.

The report relies on study data that shows a direct relationship between living in poor housing and having more health problems, such as asthma, lead poisoning, and mental health issues. Housing that is rented is usually less well kept and more likely to be unsafe compared to owned homes.

Additionally, it was reported that low-income people who became homeowners felt higher self-esteem, higher life satisfaction, and felt more in control over their lives.

Even those that ended up owning the same home they were renting benefitted from the same boost in self-esteem.

understand grandparental losses,” said Verdery, a researcher at Penn State, in an email. “Many children live with grandparents,” a living arrangement more common among certain racial groups.

About 32% of all kids who lost a primary caregiver were Hispanic and 26% were Black. Hispanic and Black Americans make up much smaller percentages of the population than that. White children accounted for 35% of the kids who lost primary caregivers, even though more than half of the population is white.

Furthermore, the Habitat for Humanity report also cited homeowners as being 2.5 percent more likely to be in good health over non-homeowners. In a nationwide survey of families who had recently bought a home, 74 percent said their overall health had improved since moving.

“I’ve been healthier since moving in here. I’ve wanted to go out and do more things. You feel better when you have something to work for, something that gives you a sense of even more self-worth,” said Mandy, a homeowner who was interviewed by Habitat for Humanity. She had been living in a basement apartment that had mold, which affected her two asthmatic sons, before being able to move into her own home with the help of a non-profit.

T h e Ur b an Bu s i n e ss Resource Center will provide a collaborative hub for Black-owned businesses and Black entrepreneurs through an extensive support network, educational workshops and other resources.

began to see an influx of Black people.

After President Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, the Reconstruction era began.

It was a period of prosperity as some Blacks in different places began to establish businesses and communities; contest for (and win) political office; establish schools, and more.

By the 1930s, the Great Depression had slowed Black migration. But the revival of the exodus from the South, a period historians call the “Second Great Migration,” started around 1939.

By the early 1900s, Racist White Southerners began to terrorize freed Black people with cross burnings, and racial violence -- and discriminate against them by instituting Jim Crow laws.

There was a spike in lynching, and a sharecropping system that mirrored the conditions of slavery began to take form in the 11 former slaveholding states.

Under those policies, opportunities for Blacks were almost nonexistent.

But it was short-lived because of White backlash, Wilkerson said.

The new study based its calculation on excess deaths, or deaths above what would be considered typical. Most of those deaths were from the coronavirus, but the pandemic has also led to more deaths from other causes.

The San Diego Black Homebuyers Program is ongoing and has no deadline, however, they are only accepting 35 more applicants for this fiscal year but will continue to accept applications until funds run out or until more funds are made available.

The center will also host regular office hours and other activities that will increase Black entrepreneurs’ access to tools to grow their businesses, from mentorship to access to capital.

As Black people left the South, Wilkerson said, they “followed three, beautifully predictable streams -- pathways to freedom.”

The first two led to Eastern and Midwestern states.

The “West coast stream,” Wilkerson told the task force, “carried people from Louisiana and Texas out to California and the entire West Coast.”

“Ed” Kelly had difficulty breathing and an urgent care clinic suspected it was due to COVID-19, she said.

But it turned out he had a blocked artery and died at work of a heart attack, leaving Kate, her two sisters and her mother.

Testimonies from people like Mandy only prove how important it is to make home ownership in the Black community a priority in places like San Diego, which has such a high racial gap in homeowners. Through this new program, home ownership in San Diego will be more accessible to it’s Black residents and will benefit them in a myriad of ways.

opportunity to create a model innovative program called the Urban Business Resource Center, dedicated to develop, support, sustain and scale businesses at all different levels.”

This time around, California was a major destination.

The differences were far more pronounced in some states. In California, 67% of the children who lost primary caregivers were Hispanic. In Mississippi, 57% of the children who lost primary caregivers were Black, the study found.

According to KCET, a Southern California public television network, the Black population in Los Angeles grew from 63,700 in 1940s to 763,000 in 1970. The migration was largely fueled by job openings in industries manufacturing automobiles, rubber, and steel. The presence of Blacks became evident along Central Avenue between 8th and 20th streets in California’s largest city.

“With all the testimony I’ve heard, I don’t see how any person of conscience, character and civility could not understand that the facts have been given,” said Task Force vice-chair, the Rev. Amos Brown, pastor of Third Baptist Church in San Francisco and president of that city’s NAACP branch.

“(Black southerners) were recruited to the North and West to fill labor shortages in the steel mills, factories and shipyards,” Wilkerson said. “It turned out that they wanted the labor but did not want the people.”

The pur p os e of t he nine-member Task Force is to study and develop reparation proposals for African Americans and recommend appropriate ways to educate the Californians about the task force’s findings.

The response to the Great Migration was “structural barriers of exclusion,” Wilkerson said. Restrictive covenants required White property owners to agree not to sell to Black people and many areas in large and mid-range cities were redlined to deny services to Blacks.

Sanctioned from 1619 to 1865, legalized slavery in the United States deprived more than four million Africans and their descendants of citizenship rights and economic opportunity. After it was abolished, government institutions at the federal, state, and local levels perpetuated, condoned, and often profited from practices that disadvantaged African Americans and excluded them from participation in society.

“On those sugar, rice, and tobacco fields (in the deep south) were opera singers, jazz musicians, novelists, surgeons, attorneys, professors, accountants, and legislators,” Wilkerson said. “How do we know that? Because that is what they and their children, grandchildren and now great-grandchildren have often chosen to become.”

Wilkerson first gained national attention in 1994, when she became the first Black woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Writing in 1994, while employed as Chicago Bureau Chief of The New York Times.

Wilkerson’s parents are both from Southern states, but they stayed in Washington D.C., where she was born, after meeting at Howard University. It was her parents’ migration northward, she says, that inspired her research on an era that helped to shape the country’s current demographics.

“Slavery has lasted so long that it will not be until next year, 2022, that the United States would have been a free and independent nation for as long as slavery lasted on this soil,” she said.

EDITORIAL/COMMENTARY/OPINION The Deconstruction Biden’s Promise for Diverse Judges and Federal of American Democracy Court Diversity

By Dr. John E. Warren, Publisher The San Diego Voice & Viewpoint

The State of Texas has become the model of how to kill democracy, enhance voter suppression, expand open carry gun laws in spite of mass murder at a Walmart store, ban abortions and gerrymander future election districts to reduce Black and Brown voter influence in the election of office holders. This is the state that placed bounties of $10,000 on the heads of all those aiding and abetting abortions in the state. All while reducing the number of voting sites and collection boxes for ballot returns.

Add these state legislative actions to a Donald Trump-appointed majority on the United States Supreme Court, along with a Mitch McConnell bottle neck of the United States Senate’s Republican membership, and the United States has gone from a Constitutional form of government with a three branch check and balance system to a one party Congress and a President that can not get any legislation to his desk because the Senate refuses to act, just because it can. This is a Senate Republican Party that refuses to act on any legislative agenda of this President, a Democrat, just as it did with President Obama, also a Democrat.

The connecting link in all this is

that the parties refusing to act are mostly conservative white male and some female Republicans. Although these people, as office holders on the state and national levels, have taken an Oath of Office to protect and defend their Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic, their allegiance to Donald Trump, the man, is greater than to the offices they hold.

When the Congress no longer works under the Constitution that created it, because men have abandoned what it stands for as evidenced by Republican behavior towards a man rather than their office; when the U.S. Supreme Court has been stacked with men and women more loyal to the idea of White Privilege than to democracy and the balance of power they are supposed to represent; when states elect as their legislative voice men and women who owe allegiance to the idea of White Privilege over our constitutional form of government, then we have “deconstructed democracy” in favor of autocracy.

Our only hope to save democracy rests in the fact that there are more of us than them. We can vote them out of office if we work at it, and value what we have enough to sacrifice and fight for it. Where do you stand?

The Need for African American Teachers

By Eva M. Doyle As we enter a new school y e a r, the problem of a lack of Black and teachers of color in general still exists. Our schools, both locally and nationally, need to organize an aggressive campaign to recruit teachers from colleges and universities and to do a national search to find the best qualified teachers of color.

It is a national problem. All students need to see teachers in the classroom that look like them and are from their cultural background. This is not to say that this will solve all of the problems in the schools. However, more teachers of color and those who can teach from a Culturally Responsive perspective will have a greater chance of producing successful students.

This problem of a lack of teachers of color was evident when I was in the classroom 17 years ago and even earlier. This columnist certainly does not have all the answers. However, I would like to suggest some ideas that might

help to increase the number of African American teachers in our schools. Here are several suggestions: 1. We must introduce the idea that teaching is an Honorable profession. We can do this by making it a priority in our community and exposing our children to examples of good teachers.

2. At every opportunity we need to expose our students from the very earliest grades to teaching. We need to do this in our churches and community centers. Instead of promoting the athletes we need to promote our teachers who are doing a good job in the schools. There are many good teachers who work hard every day to help students succeed.

3. As a historian I would like to urge our community to point out these teachers in our history who made a difference not only in their own community, but in the entire nation.

These teachers include: Mary McCleod Bethune, who took a few orange crates and started a school that later became a col-

By Ben Jealous One of the most important reasons to vote Donald Trump out of the White House was to stop him from packing our federal courts with even more anti-voting-rights, anti-equality, pro-corporate judges.

Biden is naming far more brilliant Black judges and women judges than any other president – including Barack Obama.

Stopping the flood of bad Trump judges was a huge accomplishment for every organizer and voter who helped elect Joe Biden as president. And that’s only part of the good news. President Biden is making history with the most diverse set of judicial nominees ever.

More than 30 percent of Biden’s judicial nominees so far have been Black. Fewer than 5 percent of Trump’s judicial picks were Black. More than a quarter of Biden’s judicial nominees have been Black women. Under Trump, it was less than one percent. In fact, almost half of President Biden’s judicial nominees are women of color.

President Trump’s judicial nominees were overwhelmingly white men, often young and unqualified. They were almost always picked for their commitment to a right-wing judicial ideology that makes it harder for millions of Americans to count on the courts for justice. Thanks to Trump and his Republican enablers in the Senate, we will be dealing with hundreds of those judges for years to come.

Elections matter. Right now, instead of more judges handpicked by right-wing legal activists and their corporate allies, President Biden is making good on his promise to bring greater diversity to our federal courts. lege’ Charlotte Hawkins Brown, who created a school for Black girls in the early 1900’s’ Dr. Rufus E. Clement, who was a skilled teacher and who created three different schools. He also became a minister. Lucy Craft Laney was such a gifted teacher that many of her students also became teachers.

4. B enjamin E. Mays was a gifted and inspirational educator who later became the president of Morehouse College in 1940.

He taught and inspired many people such as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. There are also hundreds of teachers right here in our community, retired and still working, who made tremendous contributions to education.

We must also increase the salaries of teachers so that they are competitive and will attract the best and the brightest teachers from our colleges and universities.

This columnist rejects any idea that these suggestions will not work because many of them have not been tried before. We are so used to talking about the problem until we can’t see the solutions before us. So while we recruit teachers from other places, let’s “grow” our own right here in this community and beyond.

This article originally appeared in The Criterion.

Let’s look at some numbers.

Because they are impressive.

There’s also a lot more diversity in Biden nominees’ life experiences and professional backgrounds.

They aren’t all corporate lawyers and law professors. Almost onethird of them have had experience as public defenders. Some of them have worked at respected civil rights organizations. Some have devoted their legal careers to protecting and representing workers. One started her career at the Legal Aid Society.

This is how we get federal courts that represent all of us, not just the most privileged and powerful. And that brings us back to elections. President Biden has

been able to get his nominees confirmed—more lifetime judges at this point in his term in office since Gerald Ford—because voters in Georgia elected Sens.

Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff.

If Republicans still held a Senate majority, Mitch McConnell would be slow-walking and stopping Biden’s judicial nominees.

When Trump was in power, McConnell laughed and bragged about how he kept so many of President Obama’s nominees from getting confirmed so that Trump would have lots of vacancies to fill.

McConnell would love to regain the power to block Biden’s judicial nominees. He would love to return to his practice of refusing to schedule hearings and votes on even the most qualified judges.

He would love to abuse his power to keep hundreds of judicial seats vacant in the hopes that Trump or some other Republican will take back the White House in 2024.

And bring back the flood of white, right-wing men determined to impose their ideology on the federal courts and on all of us.

We can’t let that happen. Let’s work as hard as we can to keep the Senate and White House in Democratic hands in 2022 and 2024.

Black Lives Matter and The Color of Your Skin

By Roger Caldwell NNPA Newswire Contributor There is a pervasive sickness in America, and it is called White supremacy, and systemic racism.

These ideologies are invisible, and many Americans now believe that discrimination no longer exists, and everyone has the same opportunities.

It is very easy to get caught in this frame of mind, because you can look at the millions of people of color who are a success in one generation.

Instead of challenging and fighting racism, they put the blame on the person. On many different levels people of color are advancing, and there is much to be proud of.

“White supremacy or White supremacism is the belief that White people are superior to those of other races and thus should dominate them. The belief favors the maintenance and defense of White power and privilege. White supremacy has roots in the now discredited doctrine of scientific racism, and was a key justification for colonialism,” states Wikipedia.

Some call it “White privilege” and

it is a benefit that is enjoyed by all White folks, and it does not matter if you are a Democrat or Republican.

History in America has demonstrated that White citizens will make war, and justify horrific atrocities against Black people, including lynching. Even after slavery was abolished, there was still lynching, and many today believe police brutality is still connected to the history of lynching. There were 3436 people lynched from 1889 to 1932, and the majority were Black people, according to publisher Ida Wells.

She was determined to make a change, and in 2021, Black Americans must agree on a Black Agenda to make significant change.

When White supremacy and racism shows its ugly face, it is important that the community is prepared to fight.

In 16 states, White supremacy is fighting to disenfranchise Blacks and people of color. Everyone, and it does not matter your color, should be fighting to uphold voting rights.

All these organizations should take a page from Ida Wells, and become the loudest voice in the room.

RECORD METH, PRESCRIPTION DRUG,

Fentanyl Deaths Reported in County Substance abuse continues to take a toll on San Diego County residents and communities.

By José A. Álvarez County of San Diego

A total of 722 San Diegans died with meth in their sys-

tem and another 576 people died due to prescription drugs in the region last year, the Methamphetamine

Strike Force and Prescription Drug Abuse Task Force announced in September.

The Meth Report Card shows the new figure far exceeds the previous record set in 2019 when 546 deaths were reported.

The prescription drug and opioid deaths reported in 2020 more than double the 275 fatalities reported in 2019.

The prescription drug report also includes statistics on fentanyl. It shows that a record 462 people died from fentanyl in 2020, compared to 151 the year before that.

Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid primarily coming from Mexico that is 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine and 25 to 50 times stronger than heroin.

• A total of 4,740 people were admitted to Countyfunded treatment programs due to meth abuse last year, vs. 6,591 in 2019.

• 56% of adult arrestees tested positive for meth in 2020, compared to 59% the previous year.

• 8% of juvenile arrestees tested positive for meth in 2020, compared to 11% in 2019.

• Arrests for selling and possession of meth decreased to 7,211 compared to 11,313 in 2019.

Prescription Drug Problem in San Diego The Prescription Drug Report Card was released by task force

• 7,723 visits to local emergency rooms in 2019, compared to 6,162 in 2018.

Data for last year is not yet available.

• 10% of 11th graders reported prescription drug use in 2019, the same percent as in 2017. The survey is done every two years.

• 46% of adults arrested reported misusing prescription drugs in 2020, the same as the year before.

• An important tool to prevent opioid overdose is naloxone, also known by the brand name Narcan, which is a medication used to reverse some overdoses by restoring normal breathing. Naloxone can

Key Meth Indicators The 2021 meth report card was released by District Attorney Summer Stephan and Holly Porter, deputy chief administrative officer for the County Public Safety Group. The report card shows the leading indicators of meth problems in the region.

The 2021 Meth Report Card also shows:

• 566 men and 156 women died with meth in their system.

The need for the Momnibus Act was magnified after a 2021 study released by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) showed stark racial dispari­ ties between maternal deaths amongst white Californians

and Black Californians.

The report was done by the California Pregnancy Mortality Surveillance System and looked at the death rate amongst pregnant people and infants between 2008 through 2016. What it revealed was that in California Black women died during live births at six times the rate of white women. From 2014 to 2016, 56 Black women died per

HEALTHY LIVING

Tips for Staying Safe (Emotionally) as Pandemic Drags On nated. However, as of October 5, 4.2 % of all Black Californians have received at least one dose of vaccine.

Representing about 6 % of California’s overall population, we as a community remain behind on our vaccination rate.

The ongoing COVID19 pandemic and the Delta variant have fundamentally changed many of our lives, the way we live and the manner in which we interact with each other, and how we live, work and play together.

By Dr. Lenore Tate California Black Media Many of us are tired, stressed and impatient having to live our lives under this seemingly never-ending pandemic.

In early spring, many of us were hopeful that COVID19 was coming to an end.

We began making plans for the summer, from visiting family and friends to attending concerts, plays, planning for vacations and special milestones, and basically “just returning to normal life activities.”

However, as life would have it, the Delta variant appeared. We were again confronted with the inability to control most aspects of our lives. In fact, most recently, scientists have purported that we may expect additional variants for years to come.

According to the California Department of Public He a lt h , i n Fe br u ar y 2021, only 2% of Black Californians were vacci-

This pandemic has reinforced that there are so many aspects of our lives that we cannot control. And anytime we cannot control our lives and/or our environment, we tend to feel helpless which leads to anxiety and possibly depression.

So, what can a person do, when life doesn't go as you planned and are impatient for this pandemic to end?

Here are some tips that have been recommended by the experts: I know this might sound cliché, but recognizing and understanding your feelings, whether you are sad, angry, stressed, or frightened.

Accept, do not negate, how you feel.

The ability to bounce back and adapt to difficult situations is crucial to wellness.

You have to believe in yourself, your ability to be strong and to try your best — relying on various proven self-care methods — to stay positive.

Try having an attitude of gratitude. Think about just

When you feel overwhelmed…. just breathe…

Yes, literally, just breathe in through your nose, hold it and exhale through your mouth a few times or meditate by remembering a verse, phrase, poem, or visualizing a tranquil place for just a few seconds. Still yourself.

Look back on the good times that you have had and treasure those memories.

Plan a reasonably safe event you can look forward to in the near future that will bring you joy or fulfillment.

Stop thinking negative. It’s difficult when life feels as if it’s spiraling out of control, but find ways to prove that your negative thoughts are either wrong or that the sky will not fall. Remind yourself that life and circumstances can and do change. Turn those negative thoughts into positive affirmations. Have faith and confidence.

With so many things going on that are out of our control and often make us feel helpless, focus on what you CAN control in your life.

Take care of yourself.

Exercise, even walking 20 minutes a day, eating healthy, sleep on a regular schedule, turn off electronic devices at least one hour before bed, avoid alcohol and substance use, especially before bedtime, connect with community or faithbased organizations, and/or reach out to your local mental health provider, employee assistance program.

EDUCATION/CULTURE U.S. Dept. of Ed Updates Loan Forgiveness Program Voice & Viewpoint Newswire On Oct. 6, 2021, the U.S. Department of Education (ED) announced that over the coming months, it will be implementing improvements to the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program that will provide more eligible public servants with greater student loan forgiveness.

Photo: Ron Lach

ED has started a limited-time Public Service Loan Forgiveness Limited Waiver Opportunity that will run through Oct. 31, 2022 and allows eligible borrowers to receive a credit for past payments on loans that would otherwise not qualify under the PSLF program.

“Many of our brave public servants have dedicated their lives to protecting our communities on the promise of the PSLF program, only to be denied the loan forgiveness that they are entitled to. Our teachers, nurses, first responders, service members, and many others have been required to serve at the forefront of the COVID-19 pandemic, yet they have repeatedly been let down by a failed system,” said Attorney General Rob Bonta in response to the news.

ED also plans to make the following changes to the PSLF program: • Simplify rules that determine qualifying payments for PSLF • Eliminate barriers that prevent military service members from receiving PSLF • Automatically give service members and other federal employees credit toward PSLF using a data matching program; • Review denied PSLF applications and identify and correct errors in PSLF processing • Improve outreach and communication with PSLF-eligible borrowers • Simplify the PSLF application process.

HENRY BLAIR BECOMES 2ND BLACK US PATENT HOLDER

BIRTH OF USHER

For years Henry Blair was thought to be the first Black US Patent holder as he is the first patent holder to have his race included in the patent record. US Patent 8447x was issued for a more efficient and uniquely assembled corn planter. He received a second patent two years later for a cotton planter. Blair was a freeman farmer in Maryland with a reputation for being particularly good at achieving high-yields. Since most patent records prior to 1836 were lost in a fire, the record of Blair’s achievements are all the more remarkable.

Born in Texas as Usher Terry Raymond IV, the soonto-be famous singer was raised in Tennessee. At the age of 12, his mother began entering him in singing competitions. At one of these competitions, he caught the attention of a representative of LaFace Records. Usher has a Diamond album, as well as two multi-platinum albums and 8 Grammys. He has sold over 23 million copies in the U.S.A. alone, and over 100 million globally.

Usher made his acting debut in the sitcom Moesha in 1997. A year later, he had his movie debut in The Faculty.

He has broken the record for longest-lasting #1 in the “Hot” charts, breaking the record set by Glen Miller’s Orchestra in the 1940.

INTERNATIONAL NEWS DESMOND TUTU MARKS A MILESTONE AT 90 WITH GLOBAL LEADERS Global Information Network Celebratory messages of love and appreciation for Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu poured in from across the world on the Nobel Peace Prize laureate’s 90th birthday on Oct. 7.

A week’s worth of events culminated on his birthday with the 11th Desmond Tutu International Peace Lecture delivered this year by four global leaders.

They included the Dalai Lama, Tibet’s highest spiritual leader; women’s and children’s rights activist Graça Machel; chair of The Elders and former president of Ireland Mary Robinson, and South Africa’s former public protector, Thuli Madonsela. Each explored the topic “Speaking Truth to Power: No Future Without Justice” from their personal vantage points.

“It is clear,” said Piyushi Kotecha, chief executive officer of the Desmond and Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation. “There can be no just future if those who believe in peace and justice do not continue to speak truth to power. The world is too often a broken place. Its very brokenness must propel us into action.

“We find ourselves at the juncture between two worlds: an old world led by unscrupulous political figures and self-serving economic interests, and one led by young activists who have social, environmental and women’s rights in their sight. The courage to heal is vital,” she said.

The lecture addresses were interspersed by performances by American cellist Yo-Yo Ma and South African cellist Abel Selaocoe, who performed a rendition of the well-known hymn Ibuyile I’Africa,

and by the Grammy Awardwinning Soweto Gospel Choir.

Over the years the Archbishop’s’s groundbreaking roles have been well reported: the first black secretary-general of the South African Council of Churches leading a Christian membership of more than 13 million (80% black), the first black Bishop of Johannesburg and first black Archbishop of Cape Town, together with his post-retirement appointments by President Mandela as chairperson of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and The Elders.

Less well known is the Arch’s prominent global influence in volatile hotspots as he worked for peace and justice, from 1982 until more than two decades after his ostensible retirement in 1996, always seeking to instill hope in times of crisis and despair and keeping faith in the indivisibility of justice.

“I join the world in celebrating his life of service and contributions to humanity,” said President Joe Biden in a message, adding that he had been “honored” to meet and spend

time with the Arch on several occasions over the years. Hollywood stars Samuel L Jackson, Alfre Woodard and Paulette Woodard paid tribute to one of the world’s most iconic prelates. “It’s one thing to stand up again and again against injustice, no matter the personal danger, and to speak the difficult, painful truth not only to your oppressors, but also to your friends.

But to do all that while maintaining a sense of humor and with genuine love in your heart – who can do that? Desmond Tutu.”

President Cyril Ramaphosa also paid tribute to Tutu for his “role as a fighter in the cause for human rights, for equality and for social justice in the 59 years since his ordination”. Later, at St George’s Cathedral in Cape Town with about 150 family members and guests, a sermon was delivered by the Rev. Allan Boesak, former president of the World Alliance of Reformed Churches. “You have seen it all. But you have always given us hope,” Boesak said. “You have always spoken to our hearts. And you are still speaking to us today through your life.”

AFRICAN WINNER OF NOBEL BOOK PRIZE IGNITES DEBATE IN ZANZIBAR Global Information Network Out of 118 Nobel Prize laureates between 1901 and 2021, only six have gone to African writers with only two to Black Africans.

The Swedish Academy was also generous with praise, calling the book an “uncompromising and compassionate penetration of the effects of colonialism and the fate of the refugee in the gulf between cultures and continents.”

Based in Britain and writing in English, Gurnah’s 10 novels include “Paradise”, set in colonial East Africa during World War I and short-listed for the Booker

By Maria Cheng Associated Press The World Health Organization (WHO) on Wednesday, October 5, endorsed the world’s first malaria vaccine and said it should be given to children across Africa in the hope that it will spur stalled efforts to curb the spread of the parasitic disease.

WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus called it “a historic moment” after a meeting in which two of the U.N. health agency’s expert advisory groups recommended the step.

“Today’s recommendation offers a glimmer of hope for the continent, which shoulders the heaviest burden of the disease. And we expect many more African children to be protected from malaria and grow into healthy adults,” said Dr. Matshidiso Moeti, WHO’s Africa director.

WHO said its decision was based largely on results from ongoing research in Ghana, Kenya and Malawi that tracked more than 800,000 children who have received the vaccine since 2019.

The vaccine, known as Mosquirix, was developed by GlaxoSmithKline in 1987. While it’s the first to be authorized, it does face challenges: The vaccine is only about 30% effective, it requires up to four doses, and its protection fades after several months.

Still, scientists say the vaccine could have a major impact against malaria in Africa, home to most of the world’s more than 200 million cases and 400,000 deaths per year,

So there was a measure of celebration, excitement and pride when this year’s prize was awarded to Zanzibar-born writer Abdulrazak Gurnah.

“The prize is an honor to you, our Tanzanian nation and Africa in general,” Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan tweeted.

Zanzibar leader Hussein Ali Mwinyi said, “We fondly recognize your writings that are centered on discourses related to colonialism.

Such landmarks bring honor not only to us but to all humankind.”

UN Endorses World’s 1st Malaria Vaccine as ‘Historic Moment’

Prize for Fiction, and “Desertion.”

Though Swahili was his first language, English became Gurnah’s literary tool when he began writing at the age of 21.

“I dedicate this Nobel Prize to Africa and Africans and to all my readers,” the 72 year old Gurnah tweeted after the announcement.

But the award has ignited a vigorous debate in the author’s birthplace, with long and passionate discussions about belonging and identity, observes Sammy Awami in the online edition of Aljazeera .

The relationship between Zanzibar

and the mainland (Tanzania) has not always been rosy - even though Zanzibar is semi-autonomous, with its own president and parliament, he says.

The contentious union of Zanzibar and Tanganyika in April 1964 was driven by U.S. and UK fears of a Zanzibari Cuba in Africa.

Gurnah left Zanzibar as a refugee for the United Kingdom in late 1967, three years after a revolution which sought to end the political dominance of the minority Arab population over the African

“This is a huge step forward,” said Julian Rayner, director of the Cambridge Institute for Medical Research, who was not part of the WHO decision. “It’s an imperfect vaccine, but it will still stop hundreds of thousands of children from dying.” majority. The following months and years were dominated by deep division, tensions and vengeance.

Writes social scientist Aikande Kwayu: “The debate about the “Tanzanian” identity of Abdulrazak Gurnah should be an awakening call & a trigger to our government to think of the following: (i) Justice; (ii) Dual Citizenship; (iii) Union matters; (iv) quality education and teaching – how do we do in writing & literature?”

Dr. Alejandro Cravioto, head of the WHO vaccine group that made the recommendation, said designing a shot against malaria was particularly difficult because it is a parasitic disease spread by mosquitoes.

“We’re confronted with extraordinarily complex organisms,” he said.

“We are not yet in reach of a highly efficacious vaccine, but what we have now is a vaccine that can be deployed and that is safe.”

WHO said side effects were rare, but sometimes included a fever that could result in temporary convulsions.

Sian Clarke, co-director of the Malaria Centre at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said the vaccine would be a useful addition to other tools against the disease that might have exhausted their utility after decades of use, like bed nets and insecticides.

“In some countries where it gets really hot, children just sleep outside, so they can’t be protected by a bed net,” Clarke said. “So obviously if they’ve been vaccinated, they will still be protected.”

Azra Ghani, chair of infectious diseases at Imperial College London, said she and colleagues estimate that giving the malaria vaccine to children in Africa might result in a 30% reduction overall, with up to 8 million fewer cases and as many as 40,000 fewer deaths per year.

“For people not living in malaria countries, a 30% reduction might not sound like much. But for the people living in those areas, malaria is one of their top concerns,” Ghani said. “A 30% reduction will save a lot of lives and will save mothers (from) bringing in their children to health centers and swamping the health system.”

Till today, the cosmopolitan island remains divided over issues of identity and its political union with Tanzania.

Meanwhile, Ida Hadjivayanis, lecturer of Swahili studies in London and a Zanzibari native, is currently translating his 1994 novel Paradise into Swahili. Pointing out that many in Tanzania are yet to read this writer’s books, she called on the government to include his works in the school curriculum.

COMMUNITY Super Soul Swap Meet

By Darrel Wheeler Contributing Writer On the second Saturday of this month, October 9, the traveling Soul Swap Meet set up shop at MLK Park.

A variety of vendors and a host of customers played “Let’s Make a Deal” and were able to eat good smelling food. They also were able to listen to the local DJ work his magic, with the audience being treated to live entertainment.

The Soul Swap Meet had a low-key family get together and a ‘Dave & Buster’s meets the garment district and cook-off ’ kind of a vibe.

“I love the Soul Swap Meet!” said Big Mack of Mack’s Soul Food. “I’ve been involved for about a year now.

I think it’s a wonderful opportunity for consumers who are looking for unique items and some good food.

It gives vendors a chance to display their goods and in my case, the perfect place to introduce our awesome BBQ.” “You can’t beat the cool atmosphere and people supporting each other out here today; you gotta love it,” Big Mack said.

Balboa’s Raiders Remain Undefeated

By Darrel Wheeler Contributing Writer It was business as usual for the dominating Raiders as they made easy work of their match against the Skyline (12-U) Tigers with a win of 40-0, advancing their record to 6-0 undefeated games.

The Raiders are the frontrunners in their division using a massive offensive and defensive line, speed, and team-cohesion.

“This team has been together for a long time. We have put in the work and it shows now,” shared Assistant Raiders coach Donald Hicks.

It’s hard to lose with some of the ballers they use; Diego Mendoza, Jaylen Piers, Mekhi Oluwa, Jayden Hunter, Jamari Sherrel, Jayden Johnson, Arieon Hicks, and Noah McCurty were among the star players that put the raid down last Saturday on John Shacklett D. Field at Morse High School.

“We are the best team in San Diego because we play together as a team and we work hard,” said Raider Jaylen Pires.

The Raiders are the team to beat in the 12-U division. Next up, they will play against their arch rivals, the always tough Corey Thomsonled Los Toros Bulls.

City of Lemon Grove Celebrations Photos: Mike Norris

By Voice & Viewpoint Staff The City of Lemon Grove and the Lemon Grove Historical Society held a two day celebration of the newly

named Treganza Heritage Park, formerly known as Civic Center Park. The Lemon Grove City Council adopted the name change in February of 2020, but the celebration had been delayed by the pandemic. Speaking at the dedication event, Mayor Raquel Vasquez stated that it's important to honor the legacy of the Treganza Family who has played such a great role in shaping the city as it exists today.

“They were an instrumental, leading pioneer family that contributed significantly in many areas to the growth of the town, including advancing the arts & culture, science, medicine, education, business,

international relations, and local and national service organizations from the 19th century and into the 21st,” Mayor Vasquez said.

In 1928, Alberto Treganza designed “The Big Lemon” which is still a treasured icon in Lemon Grove to this day. His wife, Antwonet Kaufman, was the first ever female Postmaster and Chamber of Commerce president. Dr. Amorita Treganza had groundbreaking achievements as a pediatric optometrist; and was the first woman to head a national medication association's College of Optometrists in Vision Development. The San Diego Center for Vision Care, which she founded, is still operating today on Broadway Avenue in Lemon Grove in honor of her legacy.

The two day celebration started on Friday, October 8th at 7pm in the courtyard behind the H. Lee House. There was also a free “History Alive” lecture series with Cynthia Hughes-Doyle on the Albert Treganza architecture and landscape. Helen Ofield, past president of the Lemon Grove Historical

Society, presented the story of the Treganza family as the city’s most famous local residents.

On Saturday, October 9th, the lead off activity was the dedication of the Treganza Heritage Park with an outdoor program that included community members, organizations like the Lemon Grove Library and the Sheriff ’s Department, County Supervisor Joel Anderson, the Mayor of Lemon Grove and members of the Lemon Grove City Council.

While a large number of Treganza descendants and family members were present, five were selected to receive the numerous proclamations of recognition, which appear in several photographs here. The Girl Scouts presented the colors, the world renowned Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Choir presented two inspirational songs, and Rev. Dr. John E. Warren, gave the invocation.

Following remarks from the Mayor, a presentation of mementos by Helen Ofield, and the ribbon cut-

ting to unveil the new signs for the park, the event transitioned into the open house exhibits and civic group displays as well as park activities for the children. Laura Hooks, President of the Lemon Grove Historical Society, recognized members of the Treganza family with a presentation of flowers to designated family members.

“CalTrans projects, housing projects, roads, streets and bridges, the airport expansion...We’re in it for the long haul,” she said.

Rogers, a former real estate loan processor, came to San Diego in 2008 after 20 years

in a successful six-figure career in Mission Viejo, CA where she also raised a son. When the 2008 Great Recession hit, the Chicago native sought a fresh start in San Diego. She quickly outgrew her Lemon Grove office and came to the Jacobs Center in August 2021, finding the perfect, femalefriendly set up. “It was the best situation,” she said.

With a strategic location directly across from the Live Well construction site, potential CSW program participants have easy access to her office and local construction opportunities.

L to R: Rogers (left) with Chevelle Newell-Tate (right) from Assemblymember Weber’s office

Her firm is well qualified to fill a need within the district. CSW is a certified Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE), an Underutilized Disadvantaged Business Enterprise(UDBE), an SBA 8a Woman Owned Small Business (WOSB), and holds a supplier clearinghouse certification from the Utilities Commission as a Woman Minority Owned Business (WMBE) in the state of California.

Anyone looking for a better career may just find it with CSW. The agency services disadvantaged individuals, youth, justice-involved individuals with a 16 week pre-apprenticeship program, trade work opportunities, or direct union and trade job placement assistance. For those interested in carpentry, for example, successful participants will be referred to organizations like the Black-owned Black Contractors Association (BCA), among others.

After 16-weeks, apprentice program participants also receive $250 and become registered Department of

“They can use that card to go into any trade and construction job. To help them start on their journey to economically stable jobs to help their families. That’s the goal,” she said.

In 2020, after twelve years breaking barriers as a female in a male-dominated industry, the pandemic hit. It was a “game changer,’ Rogers said.

“It picked me up and turned me around. I realized I needed help, after being a solo entrepreneur,” Rogers said. She was able to contract with the State of California.

It was the first of many projects, small and larger, that sustained her.

“I realized, sometimes, you have to step outside of your box and make things happen. The small wins, that’s what kept me moving.”

SANDAG, the City of San Diego, SDUSD, the County of San Diego are just a few of CSW’s local partners, through Rogers’s nonprofit, C&C Mentor Protege Program.

Not easily moved, Rogers says that out of her adversities, she found opportunity through hard work,‘chasing contracts’, and getting certified across 25 states. “Believe in what you’ve chosen to do.

You can’t give up, If you don’t believe it -- who else will? It could take years. 12 years.

That’s how long it took me.

Twelve years to pick it up, and turn it around.” And she certainly did.

ROGERS “Around the city, we have a lot of construction projects going on, but you don’t see people of color [working these jobs],” Rogers said.

Construction firms need staffing agencies to build up their workforce, she said.

By offering pre-apprenticeship and staffing services, Rogers aims to do just that with CSW and its flagship SoCal Pre Apprenticeship Program.

COMMUNITY BAZAAR & BAKE SALE San Diego College of Continuing Education Fashion Graduate, Tyler Free. Photo: SDCCE

Voice & Viewpoint Newswire Twenty-six-year-old fashion designer Tyler B. Free is using his line of genderneutral handbags to make a statement of inclusion — only a few months after learning how to sew at San Diego College of Continuing Education (SDCCE).

Having earned the title of top designer by Black SD Magazine in 2020, a feature in San Diego Magazine, running fashion shows at North Park’s Queen Bees, and a hand-crafted collection being sold online and in stores at Encinitas4Equality, a multicultural community center and co-op for BIPOC (black, indigenous, people of color) owned businesses, Free is doing exactly that.

Before becoming a designer, Free had dreams of play-

ing in the NBA (National Basketball Association) for the Miami Heat. He was recruited to play basketball for York College in Nebraska where he earned a degree in psychology. With support from his family, Free’s new purpose became fashion.

“My dad would always tell me to use basketball as a vehicle to get me to where I want to go,” he said. Free’s dad is a basketball coach and a retired homicide lieutenant.

After graduating from York College, Free moved to San Diego to start a mental health job mentoring youth.

His mom encouraged him to take free sewing classes at SDCCE during his spare time.

“My mom is my biggest supporter. My parents gave me

some pretty big shoes to fill,” said Free, explaining his dad was the first black lieutenant in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Inspired by his father, Free also hopes to break barriers as a minority fashion designer.

He enrolled in Sewing Fundamentals at SDCCE’s Cesar Chavez Campus in Barrio Logan, where he began to craft his garment ideas from scratch. Free then launched Outlaw LOTE, a handbag brand for men and women.

“There are not enough highend brands that were started by a minority or who employ minority fashion designers,” said Free. Though there has been progress, Free believes there is more work to be done.

Saturday, October 16th 8:00am -1:00pm 3025 Fir street, San Diego, CA 92102 This is a community event where you can sell your crafts, antiques, or hidden treasures, and of course your delicious home baked goods…

We also offer: * a table to rent for $15.00, the rest is your profit [For details please call: 619-239-2346] * breakfast with the Boy/Girl Scout Troup#12 [donation accepted] * paper shredding for FREE!

The beautiful wife of Earl G. Moore (Deceased), Loving Mother of Earl Anthony Moore(Tony) (Maraina)also (Deceased). She leaves behind TWO very Beautiful daughters; Teresa A. Moore and Sandra Yvette Moore-Harris (Julius), her loving sons; Greg G. T. A. Moore, and myself Michael H. Moore (Christina). She also leaves behind grand and great-grandchildren whom she loved and cherished beyond the stars and back. Her Love for her children was and will always be greater than anyone ever imagined, nor can her Love and her strength ever be fathomed nor in any way duplicated.

One thing about Rachel, she LOVED the Lord and His everlasting word. She also Loved her church family of the Pilgrim Progressive Baptist Church, of San Diego Ca. Mom, you will forever be greatly missed and your Love will forever light my path in this journey called life. Her favorite words were quoted from the book of Psalm chapter 121. I will always personally know the humility you have shown and encouraged me in God. I will lift my eyes unto the hills from whence cometh my help. The memory of you will always remind me Momma, my help too cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.

Thank You Momma! Your Smile, Your Love and Your Hugs will forever be cherished. God has prepared your stone and in His Mansion He has placed your spirit and your soul. Your rewards are many. God has lifted you up higher and even higher than our earthly beings can ever know. Rest In The Lord. The pain of your absence has no comparison to the celebration of your memories, nor the knowledge of God Himself has gained. Rest and enjoy your heavenly host. To all of my family I love you and I encourage you all to find your comfort and your peace in God knowing mom is with her Lord.

Will miss you to the Heavens, Your Loving son Michael.

What is the difference between Influenza (Flu) and COVID19? They are both contagious respiratory illnesses, but are caused by different viruses.

COVID-19 is caused by infection with a coronavirus first identified in 2019, and flu is caused by infection with influenza viruses.

between when a person becomes infected and when he or she starts to experience illness symptoms. If a person has COVID-19, it could take them longer to experience symptoms than if they had flu.

Because the effects of flu and COVID-19 are similar, the difference between them cannot be made based on symptoms alone. Testing is needed to confirm a diagnosis. People can be infected with both flu and COVID19 at the same time and have symptoms of both.

Flu: Typically, a person experiences symptoms anywhere from 1-4 days after infection.

Signs and Symptoms

How Long Someone Can Spread the Virus

Common symptoms that both COVID-19 and flu share include: • Fever or feeling feverish/ having chills • Cough • Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing • Fatigue (tiredness) • Sore throat • Runny or stuffy nose • Muscle pain or body aches • Headache • Vomiting and diarrhea • Change in or loss of taste or smell

Staying up to date on all vaccinations will be especially important this year, experts say.

The CDC recommends an annual flu vaccine for everyone 6 months and older, and says ideally everyone should be vaccinated by the end of October. It takes 10 to 14 Photo: AP Illustration/Peter Hamlin days for the flu vaccine to take full effect so if any side effects are similar you wait until the flu begins whether the shots are given circulating, your body may separately or in the same visit. not have time to build up protection.
