Less Likely to Treat

Pain for Black Patients Newswire Voice & Viewpoint

Racial disparities in health care are a well-documented phenomenon, spanning every area of medicine from the birthing room to the ICU. Now, a recent study shows yet another place black people are treated differently from non-black patients: the back of an ambulance.

What Cyntoia Brown’s Pastor Said to TN Governor Before Her Clemency “Finally, something good happened in the criminal justice system for one of us.” - Bishop Joseph Walker III

In a study reported by NPR, researchers found emergency medical technicians and paramedics were 40 percent less likely to give black patients pain medication than white patients.

“Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It’s an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare.

Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” — Muhammad Ali The most enduring consequences of the migration for the migrants themselves and for the receiving communities, were the development of racism and the corresponding emergence and sustenance of an African-American community, with particular cultural manifestations, attitudes, and expressions.

San Diego Swears in County Officials

The legacy is reflected in music and art, with a significant influence on religion, cuisine, and language, according to Paul E. Lovejoy, a distinguished research professor and Canada Research Chair in African Diaspora History at York University in Toronto.

“The cultural and religious impact of this African immigration shows that migrations involve more than people; they also involve the culture of those people,” Lovejoy said in a recent post about the creation of the African diaspora.

See BROWN’S page 2

Two new supervisors and four incumbent County officials were sworn in to four-year terms in a ceremony at the County Administration Center downtown Monday.

Nathan Fletcher and Jim Desmond were elected to the County Board of Supervisors in November 2018. Fletcher will represent the Fourth District, which includes parts of San Diego from downtown to La Jolla and inland toward Mission Valley and Encanto.

He was sworn in by his wife, State Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher.

Summer Stephan D.A.

Bill Gore Sheriff

“I take seriously the charge laid out for us in the County motto that the ‘noblest motive is the public good.’ And I

will work tirelessly every single day to advance that goal,” said Fletcher, who served two terms in the California State Assembly.

Jim Desmond will represent the County’s Fifth Supervisorial District, which covers a swath of North County including Oceanside, Carlsbad, Vista, Palomar Mountain and Borrego Springs. Superior Court Judge Timothy Casserly administered the oath of office to Desmond.

“I feel like today I’ve been given a great gift—a gift of opportunity,” said Desmond, the former mayor of San Marcos.

“The opportunity is to make positive changes and positive differences in the lives of over 3 million people that call San Diego County home.”

Fletcher and Desmond replace termed-out supervisors Ron Roberts and Bill Horn, respectively. They join supervisors Greg Cox, Dianne Jacob and Kristin Gaspar in overseeing a $6.27 billion budget and approximately 17,000 County employees.

Four additional officials were sworn into office, all winning outright during the June 2018 primary election. Sheriff Bill Gore will lead detention, court services and law enforcement for the unincorporated area and nine contract cities of Del Mar, Encinitas, Imperial Beach, Lemon Grove, Poway, San Marcos, Santee, Solana Beach and Vista in his third term. San Diego County Superior Court Judge Kevin Enright administered the oath to Gore.

Brown’s:

peared on the Rickey Smiley Morning Show on Tuesday, the governor struggled with the facts of the case and the ‘moral dilemma’ involved.

continued from page 1

By Latanya West Contributing Writer

On Monday, January 7th, Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam, in one of his last acts in office, granted clemency to 30-year-old Cyntoia Brown.

Brown, despite a national outcry, was tried and convicted as an adult to serve a life sentence for shooting and killing a man when she was a 16 year old victim of prostitution and sex trafficking. Her pastor, Bi shop Joseph Walker III, along with members of his congregation, has been ministering to Ms. Brown while she has been in prison, and was instrumental in her clemency.

Hours before Gov. Haslam’s decision, Bishop Walker said he had an hour and fifteen minute conversation with him. According to Walker, who ap-

www.sdvoice.info

The San Diego Voice & Viewpoint

According to Walker, he advised the governor that “consequences are important, but they don’t have to be terminal.” Walker said Gov. Haslam “really wanted to get it right.” He enlightened the governor about second chances, about forgiveness, and that Cyntoia had “paid her debt to society.” Ms. Brown, who has spent the last 15 years behind bars, said she was forced into sex work and feared for her life when she killed 43-yearold Johnny Allen in August 2004.

Bishop Joseph Walker connected with Brown through Take One, a faith-based mentoring program for incarcerated individuals that is administered through the Tennessee Department of Corrections. Walker is Senior Pastor of the historic Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Nashville,

Tennessee with a global and diverse congregation. Mt. Zion is considered a mega church, with reportedly 30,000 congregants. He had the governor’s ear.

Walker also explained, he said, the trauma a 16 year-old could experience after being victimized by prostitution and sex trafficking. “This woman,” Walker told the Republican governor, “has lived a righteous life in prison and is looking forward to being a transforming agent” for others like her.

Walker, a native of Shreveport, LA, noted that Cyntoia is the face of “so many faceless and voiceless black and brown kids.” “We needed this to heal the nation,” Walker told Smiley in his radio interview. “We needed to believe in the criminal justice system. We needed to see the needle move in terms of prison reform and sentencing guidelines. No young person should have to have 51 years

before they get to parole,” He said he helped the governor understand that Cyntoia Brown’s case spoke to historical mistreatment within the criminal justice system that have plagued people of color, particularly in the last ten years. He said he told the governor, “We need a win. We need to know that there is hope, that somebody sees the inequities in sentencing and prisons.

“This is one singular case that has sparked hope again,” Walker said.

“Finally, something good happened in the criminal justice system for one of us.”

Walker plans to escort Ms. Brown out of prison on her release date, August 7, 2019. Keep up with Walker’s plans to help Cyntoia Brown get off to a great start by visiting his instagram and twitter feeds at: @josephwalker3 or visit https://www.mtzionnashville. org/ for more information.

American culture is not European or African but its own form, created in a political and economic context of inequality and oppression in which diverse ethnic and cultural influences both European and African – and in some contexts, Native American – can be discerned, Lovejoy said.

“Undoubtedly, the transatlantic slave trade was the defining migration that shaped the African Diaspora. It did so through the people it forced to migrate, and especially the women who were to give birth to the children who formed the new African-American

population,” he said. These women included many who can be identified as Igbo or Ibibio but almost none who were Yoruba, Fon, or Hausa.

Bantu women, from matrilineal societies, also constituted a considerable portion of the African immigrants, and it appears that females from Sierra Leone and other parts of the Upper Guinea Coast were also well represented, Lovejoy said. “These were the women who gave birth to African-American culture and society,” he said.

After many rang in 2019 with celebratory parties and gatherings, there were still others who solemnly recalled the beginning of the transatlantic slave trade that started 400 years ago – 500 years, depending upon the region.

For Africans throughout the diaspora, their struggle not only traces back 400 or 500 years, but it continued and was underscored as recently as 135 years ago when the infamous Berlin Conference was held.

The conference led to the so-called “Scramble for Africa” by European powers who successfully split the continent into 53 countries, assuring a division that remains today. “There isn’t a single thing that was more damaging to Africa than the Berlin Conference,” said African Union Ambassador Dr. Arikana Chihombori-Quao.

“Africans weren’t even invited to the conference,” she said.

At the conference, which took place over three months in Brazil beginning

in February 1884 and attended by 13 European nations and the United Sates, ground rules were established to split Africa. “Africans still are suffering the consequences,” the ambassador said. Said John W. Ashe, the president of the United Nations General Assembly: “The Transatlantic slave trade … for 400 years deprived Africa of its lifeblood for centuries and transformed the world forever.”

There’s no question that legacies of the slave trade persist today in most of the countries Africans were taken to, said Ayo Sopitan, founder of Pendulum Technologies in Houston, Texas.

The study, which came out of Oregon and was presented at the Institute for Healthcare Improvement Scientific Symposium in Orlando, Fla., last December, analyzed 104,000 medical charts of ambulance patients between 2015 and 2017. Even when factoring in health insurance status or socioeconomic background, the trend held true: Black patients were less likely to be given morphine or other medications that could help treat their pain.

Researchers noted that this was likely not due to outright discrimination, but unconscious bias, where emergency personnel either distrusted black patients’ pain, didn’t see it, or didn’t consider it necessary to treat.

The study builds on an ever-growing collection of data cataloguing how bias permeates American health care.

There is the oft-cited 2016 University of Virginia Study, which found white medical students held false beliefs about the differences between black and white patients.

Among 222 participants, half thought at least one of the following were true: that black people age more slowly than whites, that their nerve endings were less sensitive, their blood coagulated more quickly, or their skin was thicker (none of this, of course, is factual). Importantly, the students who believed these things were more likely to report lower pain ratings for a sample black patient than for a white patient.

That racism and implicit bias have affected and infected the American medical community—and the way …

Another recent study reveals how implicit bias operates on gender lines as well, finding that women are more likely to survive heart attacks if they’re treated by female doctors; this was largely because of how male physicians “appear to have trouble treating female patients,” the research team wrote.

One black woman physician and former EMT, Dr. Leslie Gregory, spoke to NPR about her experiences as a first responder, saying the study held true to what she had seen. She noted that while distrust among African Americans toward the medical community could certainly play a role in diminished health outcomes (black people are less likely to trust clinical research, and to visit doctors on a non-emergency basis than their white counterparts)—that distrust wasn’t unwarranted.

“How can a person of color not disrespect a system that is constantly studying and talking about these disparities, but does nothing to fix it?” Gregory said.

THE REAL ISSUES A More Diverse Congress, a More Perfect Union?

WITH THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN

By Julianne Malveaux

The 116th Congress, sworn in on January 3, is the most diverse our nation has ever seen. There are more women – 102 – than ever before.

More members of the Congressional Black Caucus – 55 – than ever before. Indeed, a former Congressional Black Caucus intern, Lauren Underwood (D-IL) is part of the incoming first-year class. At 32, she is the youngest Black woman to serve.

By Dr. John E. Warren Publisher

The media and the public has given too much attention to Donald Trump the man and the President and not enough to this system of government we have with built in checks and balances. Case in point, instead of spending so much time arguing with Trump, why doesn’t the media and the American people focus on the process that allows a solution.

Please follow the explanation about to be given about the available process for ending this matter.

Trump is relying upon Mitch McConnell and his pledge not to bring any bill to the floor of the U.S. Senate for a vote unless he knows, in advance, that the President will approve. The U.S. Senate has the ability to gather enough signatures of sitting senators to not only bring the bill to the floor of the Senate, but also to guarantee an override of a Presidential Veto by Trump.

Such a bill already passed the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate before the Christmas holidays. The problem is that, with the Republicans staying committed to Trump and not the American people who put them in office, the bill would not have survived a Presidential Veto.

If it takes 60 Senators in the Senate to override McConnell and put the measure to a vote and there are only 47 democrats and independents, then a minimum of 13 Republican Senators need to break ranks with McConnell and the President and end the shutdown, even if that’s by an override of a Trump Veto.

concerned about the shutdown and missed paychecks need to put the pressure on the U.S. Republican Senators who place more value on standing with the President in his insanity than keeping their Oath of Office, which was a sworn commitment to uphold the Constitution of the United States “So help them God,” and not uphold the President of the United States.

The issue here should not be Democrat or Republican, it should be what’s good for this nation during a time of a fabricated crisis with elected officials putting politics over the business of the American people.

America, the focus has to be on the Republican members of the U.S.Senate who feel that they are so safe as to be insulated against public opinion on this issue. Let’s call them out one by one.

Secondly, let’s put the spotlight on the 25th Amendment the U.S. Constitution which speaks to removing the President when he becomes “unable to fulfill the duties of his office.”

We have a government with checks and balances, with separation of powers grounded in the Constitution as our governing document. We can not and must not allow politics to circumvent our system of government. Let’s find those 13 senators, break up the McConnell Block and end this shutdown and get on with the business of government with people getting paid for the work they have been hired to do.

The American people who are

This Congress includes the first Native American woman, two Muslim women, openly gay representatives, and others. Much of this diversity was displayed at the ceremonial swearing-in of the Congressional Black Caucus, an inspirational event that preceded the official swearing-in on Capitol Hill. There, as I listened to speeches by the top Congressional Democrats – incoming speaker Nancy Pelosi (CA), incoming Majority leader Steny Hoyer (MD), and incoming Whip James Clyburn (SC), I was awash in hope and optimism.

These leaders, along with outgoing Congressional Black Caucus Chairman Cedric Richmond (LA) and incoming Chair Karen Bass (CA) spoke of challenge, struggle, and optimism and focused on possibilities.

As I listened to them I could not help but think of the poet Langston Hughes, and his poem Let America Be America Again. Written in 1935, the poem was first published in Esquire Magazine in 1936. Though Hughes did not consider it one of his favorites, it captures the duality of our nation, the marked difference between our nation’s soaring establishing rhetoric and the stark reality that many experience. In the words of Malcolm X, it is the difference between the American dream and the American nightmare. Here is what Langston Hughes writes in his poem: “Let America be America again. Let it be the dream it used to be. Let it be the pioneer on the plain Seeking a home where he himself is free. (America never was America to me.) Let America be the dream the dreamers dreamed— Let it be that great strong land of love Where never kings connive nor tyrants scheme That any man be crushed by one above. (It never was America to me.)

O, let my land be a land where Liberty Is crowned with no false patriotic wreath, But opportunity is real, and life is free, Equality is in the air we breathe.”

(There’s never been equality for me, Nor freedom in this “homeland of the free.”)

www.SDVOICE.info

It’s not about MAGA (Make America Great Again), it’s about MAF, or Make America Fair. This is what Congressman James Clyburn shared when he spoke at the ceremonial swearing-in. He opened with the words of French historian Alexis Tocqueville, who observed when visiting this country: “the greatness of America lies not in being more enlightened than any other nation, but rather in her ability to repair her faults.”

Clyburn went on to list the many ways our nation has attempted to self-correct, from the passage of the Emancipation Proclamation to the Supreme Court Brown v. Board of Education decision declaring “separate but equal” to be “inherently unequal.”

Clyburn talked about the Great Society legislation, another of our nation’s attempts at self-repair, and he concluded by saying that, “America does not need to be made great again, she is already great. Our challenge is to make that greatness apply fairly and equitably to all of our citizens.”

Can this diverse new Congress make our nation fair for many who have never experienced our nation in the way it is supposed to be? In the words of Langston Hughes, “It never was America to me.” We’ve come a long way since he wrote his 1935 poem, but we still have so much to do. After these last two dystopian years under the leadership of President Genital Grabber (let’s just call him GG), this new Congress offers us many possibilities. May they manifest!

This Congress offers freedom possibilities in resisting the insanity of a “wall” that the Great Negotiator (and purported author of The Art of the Deal) swore that Mexico was paying for. Not. This Congress offers freedom possibilities in its efforts to preserve the Affordable Health Care Act and to move us to Medicare for all. This colorful Congress (the pictures tell it all) offers a sharp contrast to the dismal (as in grey and navy suits) set of Republicans, overwhelmingly white and male, and overwhelmingly staid.

Congress offers freedom possibilities. It offers the possibility of fixing the Voting Rights Act, even as the Supreme Court has attempted to erode voting rights, even as at least two elections were stolen in 2018, those of Stacey Abrams in Georgia and Andrew Gillum in Florida.

In a previous column I discussed why I chose to write the novel, The Man Who Fell From the Sky.Central to the novel is the Cape Verdean in the USA. But here's the interesting thing. When I have mentioned Cape Verdeans to many knowledgeable people, they have no idea whom I am discussing. In other words, far too many of us have never heard of Cape Verdeans.

post-1492 African population to come to the USA voluntarily. They came initially as whalers and fishermen, though later families migrated, often as a result of the periodic droughts on the Cape Verde islands. But they came as Portuguese colonial subjects speaking Portuguese and having a very different history than those originally brought to the USA as slaves. This created an unusual tension between the two populations of African descent. Should the Cape Verdeans consider themselves “Portuguese”, “Black” or something else?

Nearly 400 miles off the coast of Senegal is found the Cape Verdean archipelago. Settled by the Portuguese in the 1600s, they became a transit point for African slaves stolen from the Continent on their way to the New World. The Portuguese settled the islands with prisoners, adventurers, slavers and slaves.

The struggle for the independence of Guinea-Bissau and the Cape Verde islands (which were considered one territory by the Portuguese colonialists) emerged in the 1950s and ultimately turned to armed struggle when the Portuguese repressed the demands for justice.

One of the great leaders of this struggle was none other than the iconic Amilcar Cabral who was, himself, Cape Verdean. The struggle for national liberation for Guinea-Bissau and the Cape Verde coincided with

SERVICES BY ANDERSON-RAGSDALE MORTUARY, INTERMENT AT MIRAMAR NATIONAL CEMETERY.

EARNEST NEAL JR. was born May 12, 1943 in Millington, Tennessee. He was the eldest of four children born to loving parents, Will J. and Corrine Neal. His father passed away when Earnest was very young. Afterwards, the family moved to San Diego, California, where his mother met and married Phillip Anthony Leal, affectionately known as “Pops”. This union brought together the Neal and Leal children as one family. Earnest was educated in Millington and San Diego, where he graduated from San Diego High School.

NORMAN REESE STREET SR. Was born, April 30, 1931, to Albert and Martha Street in Dover, Delaware. He spent his formative years in Dover along with nine siblings, where he also received his formal education.

Shortly after high school, Earnest enlisted into the United States Army, where he served during the Vietnam Conflict. He received his Honorable Discharge during the early 1960s.

While in the Navy, Norman earned a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, and taught Engineering nationally, across the United States. He was very motivated and ambitious.

It was a joyous day when Earnest was blessed with twins, Michael and Curtis. He later married Julia Faye. Their union was blessed with six children, Earnest, Jr., Sophia, Rose, Yvette, Victor and Kimberly. Although Julia and Earnest’s marriage ended, they remained friends. Later in life, Earnest was blessed with sons, Marcus, Earnie and daughter, Corrine. His children and grand-children were the joy of his life.

While serving in the Navy, Norman met the lovely Jurnell Wills. They were united in Holy Matrimony on August 29, 1957 in Reno, Nevada. Their union, which was truly a match made in heaven, was blessed with three sons: Darrell, Norman R. Jr. and Michael. As compliments of the United States Navy, the family lived in various places including Hawaii, Washington and California, where they decided to purchase a home in San Diego, California, making it their permanent residence.

Earnest, also known as “Neal or Big Earnest” lived his life without a filter, saying exactly what was on his mind; He was fast, loud, fun-loving, humorous and always full of jokes; yet, he loved and cared and was willing to do whatever he could for his family and friends. He enjoyed gambling, partying and singing along to “Oldies but Goodies” songs, as well as, riding motorcycles, driving fast cars, collecting guns and warrior style knives. His presence was large and so is the empty space in the hearts of those who knew and loved him dearly.

He was preceded in death by his son, Lil Earnest; both of his parents; brother, Robert; his sister, Diane; and stepbrothers, Tony, Chris and Timmy.

On Wednesday, December 13, 2018, Earnest Neal Jr. was called from earthly labor to eternal rest. He leaves to cherish his memory his children: twins, Michael and Curtis; Earnest “Lil Earnest”., Sophia, Rose, Yvette, Victor, Kimberly, Marcus, Earnie and Corine; two brothers, Billy and Ray and a host of uncles, aunts, grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins and many friends who will mourn his passing, yet celebrate his life.

In 1947, Norman enlisted into the United States Navy at the young age of sixteen. He served his country proudly as an Intercommunications-Engineer for the Scorpion Skipjack-class and TUNNY Gato-class submarines. He quickly moved up the ranks to Chief Petty Officer -E7.

After receiving his Honorable Discharge in 1970, Norman began his employment with the United States Postal Service, retiring in 1990 after twenty years of exemplary service.

Norman was a very hardworking and ambitious man, striving to provide a good life for his family. Throughout his life, he remained focused and believed in finishing what he started. He was a very loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather and the best friend one could ever have. He enjoyed taking his wife and children, as well as other family members, on vacation to visit relatives throughout Delaware and California.

The vacations often included fishing in the Salton Sea. He will be greatly remembered for his delightful humor and his love towards other.

Norman was preceded in death by his parents; his grandson, Darrell “Street Jr. who was affectionately known as “Lil Darrell” and all of his siblings.

On Saturday, December 15, 2018, Norman Reese Street Sr. was called from earthly labor to eternal rest. He leaves to cherish his memory, his beloved wife of sixty-one years, Jurnell Street; three sons, Darrell Street (Elaine), Norman Reese Street Jr. and Michael Street (Fiancé’ Lacherl Campbell) and a host of grandchildren, great-children, nieces, nephews, other relatives and many friends.

“Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.”

SUNSET

December 13, 2018 SERVICES WERE HELD MT. ERIE BAPTIST CHURCH; ENTOMBMENT AT CYPRESS VIEW MAUSOLEUM. FINAL ARRANGEMENTS WERE ENTRUSTED TO ANDERSON-RAGSDALE MORTUARY.

NEALE “BOBO” HENDERSON III was born June 24, 1930 to Rosalie and Neale Henderson II in Fort Smith, Arkansas. Neale grew up as the middle child, having an elder sister, Mary Frances, and younger brother, Ocie. In 1941, the family relocated to San Diego where he began attending Stockton Elementary, continued on to Memorial Junior High School, and finished his education as a Caver, at San Diego High School; it was here that Neale became a breakout, two sport phenom, excelling on the gridiron as well as the diamond.

Bobo’s athletic abilities, mixed with his natural charm, earned him recognition and opened doors to the Negro Leagues, with the help of Coach Mike Morrow and friend, Gene Richardson. He had the great adventure of being part of the Gibson Tigers and Abilene Ikes, winning the Ameritech Baseball League of America pennant in 1949; barnstorming with the Roger Hornsby Whiz Bangs, and fulfilling his dream, playing with the Kansas City Monarchs before joining the army on September 11, 1950, where he also received the Army Occupation Medal for his service in Germany.

Oh, and could he dance!” Ole Blue”, as his friends knew him, could shake a leg. Let “Atomic Dog” come on the radio and you were about to witness a show like none before. You’ve seen “The Freak” and heard of “The Bump”, but “The Dog” was a game changer. In all his fun and living, he never lost sight of the importance of God in his life, which was instilled in him as a youth, attending his father’s small St. James Baptist Church. BoBo clung close to the Lord, attending Mount Erie under the leadership of Dr. Walter G. Wells, until his health prevented him.

On Thursday, December 27, 2018 Neale “Bobo” Henderson was summoned home to be with the Lord, transitioning at his home, surrounded by family.

He was preceded in death by both of his parents; his sister, his wives, Hattie Mae, Elsie Rose, and Annie Ruth; and his grandson, Kenge.

He leaves behind to carry on his legacy his ten children: Vonda, Chere, Neale IV (Sue), Ronald (Pamela), Paul (Karen), James, Marylin, Anthony, Gail (Marvin), Monica, and Arlington; his brother, Ocie; twenty-two grandchildren: Shelly, Larry, Dana, Jeremy, Raymond, Ronald Jr., Steven, Britt, Aisha, Pamela, Jamar, JaShae, Joel, Chartae, Tayeshia, Shaunta, Courtney, Shaniqua, Arrion, Kameron, Malcolm, and Victoria; twentyone great-grandchildren: Ricky, Reggie, Raysean, Blair, Jayana, Tamoya, Kymar, Rayonna, Kaya, Kalisi, Ronnie, Chantal, Mikey, Makiah, Jania, Joel, Jael, Roscell, Braylon, King, and Monique; eight great-great grandchildren: Donte, Alanah, Bailee, Raysean Jr., Haanii, Alexandria, Keanu and Keziah and a host of cousins, other relatives and many friends.

Recycle For Africa Helps

Black San Diegans Travel to Motherland Photography by Planet Green Recycle

By Jennifer White Contributing Writer

Many African-Americans long to make a pilgrimage to Africa, their ancestral homeland, affectionately called the “Motherland”. Black Panther’s “Wakanda” only magnified that desire. In May of 2018, SISTERcircle initiated a monthly discussion series entitled “How To Get To Africa 101” to share stories about where Black San Diegans traveled in Africa (or wanted to), dispel myths, discuss strengths and challenges of being in the Motherland, as well as barriers that prevent travel there. While many people had already been to Africa (and were hooked!), most had a burning desire to go -- but lacked the financial resources, social support, and connections in Africa to make it happen. All loved talking about it (at length!), and were interested in working together so more Black folks from Southeast San Diego could travel to the Motherland.

And, the “Recycle for Africa” Campaign was born.

SISTERcircle’s Recycle For Africa Campaign collects old cell phones, tablets, plastic bottles and cans to raise funds to send 5 women and 5 youth to Ghana every year for the next 10 years.

To facilitate meaningful cultural exchange, a collaborative healing art project to “connect, heal, and empower” women between Southeast San Diego and Tema, Ghana, two official “Sister Cities”, will be directed by local artist Kim Phillips Pea, a proud graduate of San Diego’s School for Creative and Performing Arts when it was located in its original venue in the heart of the Southeast San Diego.

While traveling abroad to Africa costs between $3,000 and $5,000, financial constraints are the primary obstacle. The benefits of recycling were

discussed as a potential solution that could not only help women and youth get to Africa, but would serve the City of San Diego by reducing greenhouse gas emissions -- a primary goal of San DIego’s Climate Action Plan, endorsed by Mayor Faulkner, to cut greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2035.

But, that is not all. Additional benefits were explored and created by partnering with 3 local recycling businesses rooted in the heart of the 4th and 8th Districts. These facilities have relationships with the local community, as they have been doing business in Southeast San Diego for over 20 years.

By simply RECYCLING old cell phones and electronics, plastic bottles and cans, SISTERcir-

cle works collectively with individuals and organizations across the country to send people to Africa, reduce greenhouse gas, serve youth and assist veterans. In partnership with Planet Green Recycling, now anyone in the US can donate their used small electronics free and easy by simply printing out a free shipping label, collecting items in an old box, and setting the box out for the post office for pick up. Easy peazy!

To support the Recycle For Africa Campaign, register as an EnviroFriend at https://planetgreenrecycle.com/fundraising/?purl=recycleforafrica, and DROP OFF old plastic bottles, cans and computers at First Saturdays San Diego, 6403 Imperial Avenue, San Diego, CA 92114. Need pickup? Text or call the Recycle For Africa Hotline at (442)288-7347 for weekly free pickup.

Nigeria’s Ex-President African Leaders Confront A ‘Blue Wave’ Shehu Shagari Mourned Demanding Change

Anti-government protests have rattled Sudan after the government tripled the price of a loaf of bread. Credit: nileinternational.net

Global Information Network

Global Information Network

When Democrats captured one House seat after another in the U.S. midterm elections, observers brushed it off as a “blue trickle”.

Later they had to admit: it was a giant blue wave.

Africans are also yearning for change and their frustration is erupting across the continent with a new crop of activists challenging the old order.

In Ethiopia, reforms are already underway since the installation last year of 42-year-old Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed. Women have been named to some of the government’s key positions – president, chief justice and half of all ministers. Thousands of political prisoners and journalists have been freed while senior officials accused of human rights abuses and corruption no longer enjoys immunity.

Ahmed overturned bans on opposition groups. His overture to Eritrea led to the end of a long-running conflict of neighbors.

UN Secretary General António Guterres called it “a wind of hope blowing in the Horn of Africa”.

Since the unpopular Angolan President Jose Eduardo dos Santos was coaxed from power in 2017, a liberation fighter and former defense minister, Joao Lourenco, next in succession, stepped into the job. Today, even the toughest critics of the government say that in just more than a year, President Lourenco has accomplished more to stop corruption than

Shehu Shagari (left) and Olusegun Obsanjo (right). Credit: Nigerian Tribune

any previous administration.

In Sudan, President Omar Hassan Ahmad alBashir is facing a determined movement of opposition on the heels of his third decade in power enabled by disputed elections. His latearriving “reforms” fell flat as prices for bread and fuel were jacked up as per the advice of the IMF. Spontaneous, leaderless crowds are turning out in the thousands — not just in the capital, Khartoum, but countrywide.

“It’s like someone who has found himself on the back of a lion,” said one observer. “He can’t get off without the lion devouring him.”

Democratic reforms are also high on the wish list of people in Togo, who are fighting for term limits that would effectively end President Faure Gnassingbé’s nearly two decades in power. In Gabon, President Ali Bongo who remains in Morocco since suffering a stroke in October while traveling abroad, barely managed to survive a coup on January 7 by a handful of young officers. Nigeria meanwhile goes to the polls on February 16.

Finally, 46 million Congolese cast ballots on December 30 only to learn that the electoral commission has counted less than half the votes and a winner will not be announced until a week or two or three, if ever.

So which way for the blue wave in the Congo?

Stay tuned….

Former President Alhaji Shehu Usman Shagari, a devout Muslim, a former school teacher, son of a farmer, trader and herder, was remembered in December as a nice man, a gentle man but not a particularly strong man.

Nice, gentle and amiable – good qualities – but just short of what the opposition desired for the leader of Africa’s burgeoning colossus.

As a result, Shagari’s service to the nation from 1979 to 1983 was cut short by a coup led by military men including the current president of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari.

“I mourn the departure of a patriot, who served Nigeria with humility, integrity and diligence,” Buhari tweeted after his death on December 28. “Nigerians held him in the highest esteem even when he was out of office, until his demise, and will forever miss his wise counsels.”

Shagari had been a lawmaker, minister, and Chair of Peugeot Automobile Ltd, before becoming President at age 54. He won two elections, both of them disputed by his opponents who accused him of meekness in governing Nigeria.

His term overlapped with a punishing global glut in oil that sent prices tumbling in the early 1980s. In 1983, rioting by an extremist Islamic group in the northern city of Kano led to the deaths of thousands of civilians, 100 policeman and 35 military personnel.

Fears that the group was infiltrated by “illegal

aliens” produced the massive deportation of immigrants from Niger, Chad, Cameroon, Mali and Burkina Faso.

Up to two million people, many of them Ghanaians, fled the country in what was denounced in Britain as “an act of heartlessness and a failure of common humanity.” The U.S. State Department described the expulsions as “shocking and a violation of every imaginable human right”. Even Pope John Paul II called it “a grave, incredible drama producing the largest single and worst human exodus in the 20th century.”

Amnesty granted to 1,000 members of the socalled Maitatsine cult — sometimes depicted as the forerunner of Boko Haram — who had been imprisoned since 1980, created more enemies for Shagari.

Finally, it was on Shagari’s watch that the building of a new capital in Abuja was advanced to escape the chaos and tribal affiliations of Lagos. The grand project was riddled by questionable construction contracts.

Meanwhile, thousands viewed President Buhari’s tweet and responses were generally dismissive. “Just a question to you sir,” tweeted Wale Popoola. “If he had all these qualities as you said, then what were your reasons for removing him from power through coup?

Just asking.”

3,500 Lose Jobs As New Currency Shortage Hits Zimbabwe President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s government is under pressure to improve the economy which has been in free fall since he won the elections in July 2018. To repair the economy, Mnangagwa and his finance minister have repeatedly said they will not hesitate to implement austerity measures.

The year 2019 opened with growing demands by industry to adopt the U.S. dollar and simultaneously, with protest actions by the opposition Movement for Democratic Change to pressure the government to adopt the rand or demonetize the bond notes.

Global Information Network

Over 3,500 youth officers have been laid off as part of the nation’s shortage of currency amid efforts to streamline the wage bill. It was explained that the layoffs would save the country a substantial amount while the nation’s economy is limping.

Public Service Commission secretary Jonathan Wutawunashe said the layoffs were in line

with the transitional stabilization program as announced by Finance and Economic Development Minister Mthuli Ncube in the 2019 national budget last November.

The measures, Ncube said, “will yield annual financial savings to be channeled to critical areas of health and education, as well as infrastructure”.

But a bigger drag on the economy may be the compensation package expected by white farmers whose lands were expropriated without compensation during President Robert Mugabe’s controversial land reform.

According to a white farmer interviewed by the online African Exponent, appropriate compensation for all the lands expropriated would be $9 billion, while the government is offering $53 million.

Agriculture Minister Perence Shiri said that the government would do everything it can so that the white farmers are “rightfully compensated”.

Zimbabwe’s war veterans who fought Mugabe for promised land redistribution, are not

keen on the idea of white farmers being compensated, since many veterans did not get land. Most of the properties went to the political, business and military elite, so to give white farmers compensation would be an insult, they said.

Many of the farms are now unproductive as they fell into the hands of people who have no knowledge and experience with farming.

Elsewhere in Zimbabwe, the union of teachers has announced plans to press for salaries paid in dollars. There are 44,000 members in the union. Government doctors have been on strike for more than a month over the same issue, while pharmacies demand payment in dollars.

Flying High: Rexy Rolle Changing the Game in the Airline Industry

MLK Day of Service at Mt. Hope Community Garden Jan. 26th

By Stacy M. Brown NNPA Newswire Correspondent

Although she acknowledges setting “big goals,” Sherrexcia “Rexy” Rolle said the magic really happens in the small steps it takes to reach those ambitions. “That’s where the victories are won, in your daily to do list,” said Rolle, whose boardroom and classroom accomplishments likely turn as many heads as her modelesque looks.

At 30, Rolle serves as vice president of operations and general counsel of Western Air Limited, her family’s company and the largest privately-owned airline in the Bahamas.

She’s climbed the corporate ladder, but nothing was handed to her – Rolle clearly has earned her wings. “My family instilled a very strong work ethic in me as a child. We strongly believe in the principle of big faith and hard work,” Rolle said.

Western Air, a commercial airline that operates daily scheduled and on-demand flights to major destinations throughout the Bahamas, including Nassau, Grand Bahama, Exuma, Bimini, Abaco, and San Andros, also provides charter services to the Caribbean,

Central and South America.

The MLK Day of Service is intended to empower individuals, strengthen communities, bridge barriers, create solutions to social problems, and move us closer to Dr. King’s vision of a “Beloved Community.”

“Our DAY of SERVICE is an inclusive experience for all humans of good will, any age, race, gender, class and/or ability,” said Project New Hope’s Diane Moss. “The day will be filled with activities that benefit the garden and those who give of their time and talent to make the garden a safe, beautiful,

healing and growing space.”

The day will start with solidarity statements and cultural expressions; then teams will work together on projects such as clearing out weeds, repairing the shade cover and garden furniture, art projects, harvesting salad for lunch and more. The day will end with a communal meal and social hour.

If anyone is interested in supporting the The MLK Day of Service as an event sponsor, you can donate cash, in-kind donations and / or use of garden tools. “All gifts will be accepted and acknowledged,” Moss said. The following is a list of suggested donations: See SERVICE page 15

REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS Request for Proposals No. 5005617 Cross-Border Travel Behavior Survey The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) is seeking Requests for Proposals (RFPs) from qualified firms for professional services to conduct a Cross-Border Travel Behavior Survey.

The purpose of the CrossBorder Travel Behavior Survey is to update a study previously conducted in 2010, providing critical data regarding northbound travel along the border for the cross-border model component of the Activity-Based Model. SAN DAG is interested in filling in any gaps that the 2010 survey did not address, improving upon the methodology based on lessons learned from that study, and understanding circumstances at the border that have changed and their impact on cross-border travel.

With the Otay Mesa East border crossing’s upcoming opening (State Route 11), there is a desire to use this study as a way to collect data on cross-border travel before the new facility begins operations in 2022. All survey information will be collected on the U.S. side of the border, and no travel into Mexico is required.

Proposal Due Date: RFPs are due by 3 p.m. on Tuesday, February 12, 2019.

A copy of RFP No. 5005617 can be accessed from the SANDAG website at sandag. org/contracts. Please contact Zara Sadeghian at SANDAG, 401 B Street, Suite 800, San Diego, California 92101; (619) 595-5359; or zara.sadeghian@sandag.org if you have any questions.

To say the least I had to cut our way through a number of legal red tapes, take the risk and seek approval from the authorities in the position to validate our right to operate.”

“Opening the passenger terminal was a pivotal point for our company and was instrumental in securing market share on that route. I was a fairly new attorney at that time. While it was a bit intimidating, it was a rewarding experience,” Rolle said
