Burge convicted

By J. Coyden Palmer After decades of dozens of African American men claiming they were tortured by a former Chicago Police commander and his detectives, a federal jury convicted the disgraced commander of lying about the allegations under oath. After 13 hours of deliberation, the jury found Burge, 63, guilty on three counts of perjury and obstruction of justice. He faces up to 45 years in prison. He showed no emotions as the verdict was read and remains free on bond until his November 5th sentencing after his brother posted his house up for bond.

Burge was alleged to have beaten, suffocated and electrocuted confessions out of suspects during his time as commander at Area 2 headquarters. A special prosecutor announced in 2006 that there was ample evidence to show that Burge and his detectives tortured suspects but that charges could not be filed because the statute of limitations had expired. Some of the allegations go back as far as the 1970’s thru the 1990’s when Burge was eventually fired in 1993 for the alleged mistreatment of a suspect.

Burge did not speak to reporters gathered in the lobby of the Dirksen Federal Building after his conviction. But his attorney, Marc Martin said his client will follow the conditions of his bond and said there is still more litigation to come as he plans an appeal.

“There’s still more litigation ahead, more appeals. I feel sorry for the City of Chicago, because it’s probably going to open up a Pandora’s Box of lawsuits and given the pendency of further litigation, there’s not much more I can say,” Martin said. “We will definitely be appealing this verdict.”

While Burge was quiet, his victims were

not. Many were in the courtroom as they wanted to see with their own eyes the man who had caused them so much pain face justice. Mark Clements was only 16 years old when Burge tortured him and got him to confess to a murder he did not committ.

He spent nearly 30 years in prison. During that time he missed the birth of his daugh-

ter and all of the great moments that come along with being a father.

“I was 16 years old and these people stole my f——— life!” screamed Clements, as he cried with emotion. “I have to tell you the truth. I sat in a prison cell and I prayed for this day. Today is a victory for every poor person.”

Those who have represented Burge’s victims were also elated with the verdict. Attorney Flint Taylor of the People’s Law Office said he would also like to see Burge’s victims compensated by the city. He would also like to see new trials for many of the men who are still in prison who may (Continued on page 6)

Jackson matriarch returns to Gary

By Carmen M. Woodson-Wray It was last year on June 25 at the age of 50 that the King of Pop Michael Jackson passed and shocked the world leaving people from all walks of life having to grieve for the legendary icon.

Now, one year later the world is once again paying their respects not only in California where his body is laid to rest at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, but in Gary the place where it all started for the Jackson 5.

Michael’s mother Katherine Jackson, along with other family members, returned to 2300 Jackson Street on the anniversary date of his passing to remember him and unveil a monument in his honor on the lawn of the family’s Gary home.

Thousands of fans from not only his hometown but from all walks of life braved the heat and humidity Friday for the chance to see Katherine and other family members. Gary Mayor Rudy Clay, city council members and State Rep. Dr. Vernon G. Smith welcomed the Jackson (Continued on page 2)

At NNPA Convention: Black Leaders announce move against conservative attempt to distort King Dream Aug. 28

By Pharoh Martin NNPA National Correspondent NEW YORK (NNPA) - Black Civil Rights leaders are furious that they will not be able to organize a march to commemorate the 47th anniversary of the historic March on Washington and Dr. Martin Luther King’s famed “I Have A Dream” speech at the location where it happened this year because infamous right wing Fox News personality and radio host Glenn Beck already booked the Lincoln Memorial on August 28th to hold his own rally.

“We’re going to get together because we are not going to let Glenn Beck own the symbolism of August 28th, 2010,” National Urban League President and CEO Marc Morial said during a National Newspaper Publishers Association breakfast at NNPA’s 70th Anniversary Celebration at the Sheraton Hotel and Towers on Friday.

“Someone said to me, ‘Maybe we

Marc Morial shouldn’t challenge him. Maybe we should just let him have it. “I was like,’ Brother, where have you been? Where is your courage?

Where is your sense of outrage?”

We need to collaborate and bring together all people of good will, not just Black people, on August 28 to send a message that Glenn Beck’s vision of America is not our

vision of America.

As both a solution and response to what the leaders perceive as an attack on the legacy of King, NAACP President Ben Jealous announced at the conference that a national march for jobs and justice will be held on October 2 instead.

“A group of White males wealthier than their peers called the Tea Party has risen up in the land,” said Jealous. “They say that they want to take the country back. And take it back they surely will. They will take it back to 1963 if we let them.”

Last week, the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations, or AFLCIO, the country’s largest federation of labor unions, announced that they were going to endorse a march for jobs that Jealous will be co-leading in Washington on Oct. 2. Other national civil rights leaders and organizations are also endorsing the Oct. jobs march as a follow up to an August 28 protest of Beck.

“We will be fighting Glenn Beck on August 28th and we will be using that to leverage the second march,” Jealous said. “That march has to happen. Our people are dying right now, literally, from lack of access to jobs.”

The Reverend Al Sharpton of the National Action Network, who also spoke at the NNPA Convention, said Beck will distort King’s legacy and his message.

“On the anniversary of the March on Washington, Glenn Beck is going to talk about the dream of Martin Luther King and how he was with them – not us. So, we’ve been travelling all over this country because there is no way in the world that I am going to allow him to have more people there than us. I hope every Black person in the country will help us to challenge this. Everybody’s got to be in Washington. We can’t let them hijack Dr. King’s dream.”

Morial called Beck’s right wing conservative vision “intolerant.”

“His vision is of an America of the

past,” Morial said. “Our vision is of an America that understands its past but is of the future. Too many times we have become spectators.

Some people thought that since Mr. Obama became president that they could go back to their couch to sit down and watch. Look at what we have witnessed - the resurgent voice of extremism. The 14th amendment has been incorrectly interpreted. They are talking in code talking about that (sic) we have to save our country. This is our country too.”

Morial added, “One of the things that is so curious to me is the way that groups on the right have been very, very observant and have begun to utilize the tactics of the civil rights movement- marching, organizing in churches, things that we’re the backbone of civil rights advocacy in the 1950s and 1960s.

Others have begun to use those techniques and use those tactics. It would be a mistake if we would treat it and didn’t recognize that the (Continued on page 15)

Dan Vanferty from Canada travelled to Gary because he wanted to view the monument.

He said, “It was good to see the family come back. I think they should build a museum in Gary. I saw the movie ‘This Is It’ and he was good.”

Robert Buchanan, a neighborhood friend of the Jacksons when they lived in Gary said he remembered when they would play in front of the house together until their mother would make

They claim it will bring a lot of businesses and money to Gary.”

Although Katherine Jackson did not comment on the project during the memorial it is reported that she is supportive of the effort. She said she hopes the museum would help turn Gary’s economy around.

KATHERINE JACKSON was joined by local dignitaries at the unveiling of a monument memorializing her son Michael Jackson during an unveiling ceremony Friday, June 25 at the Jackson home at 2300 Jackson Street.

Rush, Reverend Jackson to hold meeting on gun violence

By La Risa Lynch Congressman Bobby L. Rush wants a more concerted effort from community leaders, police and politicians to stop the violence in light of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision striking down the city’s handgun ban.

At a press conference hours after the high court’s decision Monday, Rush claims community reactions to the recent rash of weekend violence that left 40 people shot; eight of them dead has been “tepid or nonexistence.” Marching in response to a killing does not cut it, he added.

“It is incumbent on us to look at this issue of violence, and try to come up with some reasonable solutions to the issue of violence,” he said.

Rush and Reverend Jesse Jackson, Sr., will host a “State of Emergency” meeting today (Saturday, July 3) calling for a united front among residents, police and religious leaders to address systemic problems they believe lead to an increase in violence. The meeting will be held at Operation PUSH, 930 E. 50 Street, from 9 a.m.-11 a.m.

One solution, Rush said, is reallocating police resources throughout the community. He contends police resources should correspond to where the violence is.

“There is something wrong with the alignment of police beats in the city of Chicago,” he said. “Jefferson Park where there is relatively little to no violence should not get the same kind of resources as Washington Park where violence is off the charts.”

Reluctant city council holds nose and votes to bring more Wal-Mart stores to city J. Coyden Palmer

Wal-Mart invests a lot of time in figuring out what other competition there is in the area and doing whatever it can to eliminate that competition,” said Alderman Gene Schulter (47th). “I spent a good part of my career building up a community that had nothing going for it. The independently owned and operated stores makeup the backbone of our community and really of America. These are the people that supply the jobs and they’ve worked hard to build the community. I’m going to support this ordinance only because WalMart has said they are willing to allow stores within their stores.

So we have to make sure that Wal-Mart doesn’t victimize the people and businesses that have been here a long time.”

The new Wal-Mart is expected to bring in $1 billion worth of revenue and create 12,000 jobs, according to Beale. He said Chicago is losing millions of dollars everyday to the suburbs and Indiana because Chicago consumers are looking for ways to save money in these tough economic times.

RON HOLT, OF CAPS, address questions from the media just hours after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Chicago’s handgun ban, as Phillip Jackson, of Black Star Project, Cong.

Bobby Rush and Rev. Jesse L. Jackson, Sr. look on.

Police Superintendent Jody Weis has already announced plans to reallocate resources. The department conducted a study that determined only 9 percent of city blocks account for the majority of gun shootings. The department plans to commit more resources to those areas.

That strategy, Rush said, is a temporary fix.

“That is a one time activity,” he said. “We want systemic change.

Only when the Chicago Police Department undergoes … long-term changes will we have more effective services in our community.”

Jackson hopes Saturday’s meeting will brainstorm ways to reverse, what he calls an economic depression in Black neighborhoods. Black unemployment is three times the national average. The city is cutting public transportation, public housing and public education, which Jackson says, compounds the city’s violence epidemic.

This, he added creates a state of emergency where people cannot get

After a five-year battle and four previous votes, the South Side of Chicago will be getting its first Wal-Mart store in the Pullman community after the city council approved a zoning ordinance sponsored by 9th Ward Alderman Anthony Beale. Several council members who voted yes on the ordinance said they were doing so with mixed feelings during the June 30 meeting. Wal-Mart has agreed to pay $8.75 an hour to workers along with a pay increase of 40 to 60 cents an hour after a year. The approval came after years of negotiations between Wal-Mart and union representatives. And even though Wal-Mart has agreed to pay more to Chicago employees than any other part of the nation, the company’s reputation does not bring confidence to many lawmakers.

“I do not trust Wal-Mart,” said 28th Ward Alderman Ed Smith.

“If you’re going to be the largest corporation in the world, you ought to be able to pay some people some decent salaries. Their word does not mean anything to me today. You have to show me. I want to make sure that we put the pressure on these guys to make sure they do what they say they’re going to do.”

Smith’s sentiments were echoed by at least five other aldermen who spoke during the debate before the vote. In addition to WalMart’s history of not paying fair wages, others are concerned about the impact Wal-Mart will have on smaller businesses in the area.

“Talking with many mayors and council members from different cities, I can tell you for a fact that

Alderman Richard Mel (33rd) said while people may have ethical issues with how Wal-Mart runs their businesses, it is the reality of today’s global economy.

He said Chicago is hurting for money and he does not believe the Wal-Mart model of buying products from foreign countries where they are cheaper to produce and they can pay workers less and then reselling those goods is good for America. He said he would prefer if Wal-Mart was not coming to Chicago but “it is what it is.”

to work, find employment or have a decent place to live.

“And now add to that more access to guns,” he said.

Jackson contends the Supreme Court’s ruling makes it easier for the National Rifle Association (NRA) to open gun shops near “bars, restaurants, churches, and schools.” It is illegal to open a gun shop within city limits. Most gun shops are located just outside of the city limits.

The Supreme Court’s five to four ruling upheld the Second Amendment allowing every resident the right to have a gun to protect self.

Jackson urged Congress to revive the federal assault weapons ban.

Phillip Jackson, of the Black Star Project, an education advocacy group, added the high court’s decision represents Washington, D.C.’s failure to understand inner city violence.

“We ask for recreation for our children and Washington said maybe we will send the National Guard,” he said. “We ask that these

children here … go to school safely and Washington said give them guns.”

Parent accountability also plays a role in addressing violence. Police, Rush noted, “didn’t create the problem nor can they solve the problem.” He said parents and neighbors “must initiate conversations” to solve an epidemic that predominately affects minorities.

The newly appointed head of the city’s Community Alternative Policing Strategy (CAPS) program, linked violence to “lousy parents.”

Ron Holt said parents have children indiscriminately without loving them or nurturing them.

“We got some parents these days that didn’t intend to have these children, and they [children] have been discarded — thrown away,” he said. “When there is a negative attitude in bringing a child into the world, guess what, the child knows that from the womb.”

That negativity begets violence, said Holt, who lost his 16-year-old son, Blair, to gun violence in 2007.

OPINION

EDITORIAL INDEPENDENCE DAY IN THE AGE OF MASS INCARCERATION July 4, 2010 is the 234th birthday of America. It marks the declaration of freedom from the shackles of the mother country, Great Britain, and Americans of all colors will celebrate this special day in various ways.

Firework displays will dazzle the millions while outdoor parties and barbecues will fill the air with tantalizing sounds and smells.

Ironically, during the time that America was declaring her independence, she held slaves on her own shores. In retrospect, this was hypocritical - declaring freedom while enslaving others. This goes against the laws of karma, the Sanskrit word that has found its way into the American lexicon that means “what goes around comes around.” In the scientific world this would be a re-statement of Newton’s Law - “For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.”

America today is a far cry from what it was back in 1776. Technology notwithstanding, there have been many and varied subtle changes in the American psyche. The rugged individualism of the early settlers and founders has given way to acquiescence to rule by nondemocratic corporate interests. And though war resulted in separation from an oppressor, wars continue to this day unabated. America has even gone so far as to topple independent regimes abroad. Moreover, because of the so-called war on terror, Americans are finding themselves far less free than is actually perceived. Ubiquitous cameras on every street corner, highway and byway are the hallmark of the new America. In the new America, patriotic, but misguided citizens proclaim that they are willing to “give up some freedoms” in order to fight the war on terror. What a far cry from the original intent of the founding fathers. Because of the impact of the current state of affairs wherein there is essentially no privacy, the result is a negation of the 1776 war for independence. In other words, Americans gained freedom from without only to exchange it for bondage from within! The chickens seem to have come home to roost.

On another note, many African Americans feel little incentive to celebrate American Independence since it did not originally relate to them. And even today, the playing field is not quite level in spite of the fact that there is a Black face in the White House. Black people do celebrate, however, possibly as a respite from the daily grind of the work week. Countless homeless individuals, though, probably see very little reason to celebrate.

If America is to live up to her destiny as “...one nation under God, with liberty and justice for all,” there is still a long way to go. Considering the high unemployment rate and escalating social maladies in this “age of mass incarceration,” we currently have “liberty and justice for some.” This must change With this said, the CRUSADER wishes you and yours a safe and sane holiday.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR A sad day for Stanley (Cup) Dear Editor: As a youngster growing up in Bradford, Illinois, my parents were careful to always ask me, "Where are you going tonight?"

They were of course looking to be certain my choices were good ones.

My question to the Chicago Blackhawks, and the Chicago Cubs is: “Who is watching over their franchise bearers Stanley (as in the Stanley Cup) and the formerly family friendly Cubby the bear?”

The homosexual "pride" parade is not family friendly, nor an event that any responsible parents would plan for their children. Activities of the "gay" (what an oxymoron this word is) activists during the parade by dress (and undress) and their obscene actions leave little to the imagination. The obscenity code in Chicago should prevent a great deal of what you will see that day, but is not being enforced.

What is to be proud of in promoting a lifestyle that is disease prone? This statistics from the CDC (Government Center for

Disease Control) show that 80% of the HIV/AIDS cases come from MSMs – men having sex with men.

I have no tolerance towards an effort to sell their dead end lifestyle to our children. No tolerance to allow open practice at the expense of our military preparedness. No tolerance that demands the end of the traditional marriage that has served our nation under God so well over the past 2000 years.

Apparently there’s little concern on the part of Rocky Wirtz and John McDonough of the Blackhawks, and the Ricketts family of the Chicago Cubs, about the misguided message their participation sends. Especially to the youth of our country!

We still have the Bears, and hopefully the White Sox and Bulls. A sad day for the large majority of families who still believe in the moral values, such as traditional marriage, that have made America great. The families who, by the way, produce the future paying customers who put their fannies in the seats of both stadiums!

BEYOND THE RHETORIC

Richmond, Virginia: Too Dirty to Indict?

By Harry Alford NNPA Columnist One of the biggest corruption and racist actions are that of the Poverty Pimping Industrial Complex. The PPIC spends a lot of activity raking in money from HUD

Harry C. Alford grants (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development).

Their premise is this: A hefty poverty level is a guarantee for serious federal funding. Thus, the perpetrators ensure that the poverty levels remain high and it is preferable to assign it to Blacks and His-

panics. They lack real power and the White powers don’t care. With HUD money they want to keep the Blacks and Hispanics in the projects and the White poor in single family homes (Section 8).

Make affordable housing available to White income levels but out of reach of Black and Hispanic income levels.

This is why Section 3 of the HUD Act is not complied with by HUD grantees and not enforced

by HUD officials. Section 3 has been on the books for 42 years (1968) and has not become enforceable yet. It states that 30 percent of all new jobs funded by HUD should go to people living in public housing or under the poverty level. Thus, the more HUD money that is spent; the more jobs created for our people and the poverty levels will decrease. 98 percent of the housing authorities, cities, counties, states, etc. do not want this to happen. They will not comply; HUD will not enforce and our unemployment levels rise to 30 percent in our urban areas. It is an organized conspiracy and a mass execution of fraud.

We have been fighting this criminal/racist practice from city to city and housing authority to housing

authority. It gets a bit overwhelming when elected officials allow the PPIC headed by labor unions and dirty public employees to run roughshod over our people living in poverty.

Recently, however, I came upon the “perfect storm”. It is in Richmond, VA, a predominantly Black city controlled by a minority of evil Whites and stupid Black gatekeepers. An opportunity to bust this “poverty bubble” came when HUD allocated an approximately $60 million HOPE VI project entitled “Blackwell HOPE VI”. Of course the $60 million was padded for these 106 affordable homes as they desired to block potential Black families from buying them and they wanted to pocket the excess money like they usually do.

The Richmond Redevelopment Housing Authority has a deep reputation for corruption. It is widely known in the city that “envelopes” exchange hands. This is a reference to the practice of kickbacks and bribery. It was recently detected during a Freedom of Information Act request that this agency had a continuing budget item known as “clotheslines”. That’s right good old clotheslines – cheap and simple. However, over the last 10 years

they supposedly have spent over $9 million in clotheslines. Of course they didn’t. This appears to be a slush fund for the “envelopes” activity. $9 million of HUD money used as a criminal slush fund and the government doesn’t seem to care.

Back to the Blackwell HOPE VI project. A group of the largest Black owned development and construction companies joined forces to compete for this project and they figured by complying with Section 3 they could have the advantage. After all, it was the law and the other competitors would ignore it. They formed a separate, all Black, corporation. It had over 130 years of experience with a comprehensive scope made to order for the project. They even had cash on hand, $60 million+, to perform the task plus credit letters from four reputable banks. They could do the work required and had the cash on hand to complete the job. Plus, they had designated 140 jobs for Section 3 residents.

That’s right they were going to take 140 people living in poverty and even some ex-offenders and put them in the job market. One hundred and forty Black families were about to leave poverty just as Sec-

tion 3 intends for them to. It looked like a slam dunk.

However, the Richmond Redevelopment Housing Authority denied them the opportunity and selected another bidder who had no Section 3 inclusion (violating federal law). The big problem was that this Black company was going to play by the rules and have nothing to do with the typical bribery, kickback schemes, etc. It was honest and that goes against the PPIC. What seemed to be undeniable was denied.

HUD won’t investigate. The Department of Justice refuses to investigate. Sens. Mark Warner and Jim Webb along with Black Congressman Bobby Scott won’t pick up the phone and ask for an investigation.

Richmond’s Black mayor, Dwight C. Jones, won’t pick up the phone either. You see you may never know who gets those “envelopes” and who you might bust. It is time to find out. We are going to fight this one. Somehow we are going to force an investigation.

Republican Radicals Reject Unemployment Fund Extension

By Ron Walters NNPA Columnist (NNPA) - As part of the current unemployment crisis, at last look there were 453,000 claims for insurance, a number that is likely to surge when part-time government workers employed on the Census end their term this summer.

Yet, there probably is no greater indication of the radical extreme to which the Republican party has become than to witness their rejection of legislation to extend unemployment benefits in the Senate. In the past, some Republicans supported such legislation to keep benefits flowing, but this time, their unanimous rejection for a second time killed it. They were joined by Democrat Ben Nelson of Nebraska who I wish would change parties to clarify who he really represents.

A look at a few states where funds will run out soon turns up a frightening picture: 87,000 people in Michigan which has the second largest unemployment rate; 67,000 in Colorado face the same fate; 7,00 people in Georgia; 184,000 in Florida.

The legislation would have created $16 billion to reimburse The Chicago Crusader

state Medicaid expenses, and without it, New Hampshire would loose $79 million in State funds and it would cost Michigan over $500 million creating a gaping hole that could lead to bankruptcy.

In the recent primary elections radical Tea Party politicians gained serious inroads into the Republican party. For example, Sharron Angle, Harry Reid’s opponent for U. S. Senator from Nevada, not only believes that Social Security is “welfare” but that unemployment benefits have “spoiled” people to the point that “you don’t want the jobs that are available.”

Then, Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah has proposed that everyone who qualified for unemployment compensation should undergo a drug test, testimony to the class and race perspective some Republicans have toward people who need such assistance. The fact that Republicans don’t appear to be concerned about the impact of their rejection of funds on ordinary people in their states continues to confirm a heartless and immoral side of the Republican governing ideology. It is a growing radicalism that is justified by their elevation of the deficit, much of which was creat-

Ron Walters ed by former Republican George Bush, over their constituent’s pain.

Beyond an immorality linked to a lack of concern for the less fortunate, Republican intransigence possibly constitutes a political strategy for the fall elections.

How? A recent NBC/Wall Street Journal poll found that Congress registered the lowest favorable ratings in modern history at six percent, while Gallup found the preferences of those polled to win control of Congress split between Republicans (45 percent) and

Blacks Must control their own coMMunity

Democrats (43 percent).

This means that either the public has not blamed the Republican party, the element in Congress most responsible for the perceived lack of production, or it blames the Democrats for what has been produced. Either way, it seems that Republicans are free to run against Democratic control of Congress, even though they have attempted to wreck many humanitarian initiatives.

Such a strategy is partly possible because of the lack of strength and specificity in the Democratic narrative about governance that shields the Republican party from its negative role. President Obama began this weak narrative by campaigning on “changing the way things work in Washington.”

But you can’t change that by being vague about what elements are responsible and what party to which they are attached.

His fixation on bipartisan government also enhanced this cover-up. So, there was an incomplete analysis of change. Change from what? Despite the fact that there is an occasional reference to what the President inherited when he came in office, the change from what narrative has not comprehensively been explained. How can Americans Saturday, July 3, 2010

then understand how and why their government has not functioned for them: why the banks and financial houses collapsed and had to be bailed out, how and why mortgages were deliberately sold to people who couldn’t afford them, and why there is a monumental oil spill in the Gulf that is also tied to lax governmental regulation in the Republican era?

Word is that the Democratic party is laying out $50 million for the fall elections, and a great deal of it should be spent to build a message factory to help explain to the American people why the President has done what he has had to do the past two years, and what feeds the perception that the Congress is dysfunctional. If Democrats can’t get unemployment insurance, other important goals are in jeopardy both now and after the elections.

COMMENTARY Cong. Rush Right to Oppose FCC ClassificationOf Internet Broadband Services

Critical Commentary

quences are very real, and could unintentionally erase the gains which were designed to close the digital divide.

I strongly commend and congratulate those members of Congress who have united to take a firm stand on the issue of broadband for today and the future.

Ensuring the availability of the Internet for everyone is critically important to minority areas throughout the United States.

The bottom line? We must support these efforts by Congress to promote and secure the future expansion, advancement and adoption of broadband across the county. In less than two decades, we have seen the massive impacts of broadband technology: first and perhaps foremost, it has helped many communities move from devastating despair and poverty into areas of choice, while simultaneously creating quality, high-tech 21st century careers. In many ways, broadband has also served to promote a new ‘spirit of business entrepreneurship’ for minorities. Further, the adoption of

Home of the Free/Liberty!

Congressman Bobby Rush was recently applauded by the Minority Media and Telecommunications Council in “Civil Rights Organizations Support Congressional Action.” Well, I give him a STANDING OVATION for his courageous stance on this critically important public policy issue.

We all must board the high speed train that is taking us into the digital age or we will face being left behind. Congressman Rush knows this, that’s why along with 73 other Democratic colleagues he recently signed a letter to stop the FCC from reclassifying broadband and imposing new regulations.

It is my hope and desire that our other public leaders recognize the impact of these new rules and do the same thing - ask Congress to stop the FCC in this misguided approach, and instead focus on their oft-stated priority to providing universal access to all Americans. Particularly the 14 million currently without community-wide broadband high speed internet services in today’s ever-expanding digital world. In many ways, the fight to secure digital access and literacy in lowincome, underserved and minority communities is fast becoming one the most pivotal civil rights issues of the 21st century.

In today’s economy, these often overlooked communities should not be denied access to broadband Internet and all the various advantages it provides for social, cultural, political and economic empowerment, through direct action, online collaboration and expanded business growth opportunities.

The proposed National Broadband Plan by the FCC has many laudable attributes, but the insistent push to reclassify broadband from a Title I Information service to a Title II Communication (telephone) service is simply not one of them. This move, in fact and contrary to some reports, could actually hinder efforts to provide broadband to those diverse individuals, neighborhoods and groups the plan was designed most to help.

The potentially negative conse-

broadband technologies has connected communities together in ways never before possible.

Thanks to these inroads, the discourse of civil society has been forever changed for the better.

Today, people everywhere are joining together across cyberspace to change the destiny of challenged communities throughout the country.

Finally, a major re-focusing of the FCC’s efforts on deploying broadband technology throughout the United States would enhance strategic collaborations between federal, state and local governments with civil/human rights and other non-governmental organizations, including business and labor, community and social service agencies. In conclusion, the scenario for success is clear - solving the problem of inadequate broadband access in America will require help from committed partners at all levels – government, nonprofit organizations and the private sector – working together for the good of all.

By Maurice A. Clayton

This country is truly the land of the free and liberated. Yet at the same time others have made it their job to destroy this democracy. Around this country we have the rich and others to whom we seem to relinquish our “power” to direct our freedom and liberty. Though we have the ability to reach out and stop these people we have missed the mark in understanding who we are suppose to be in claiming citizenship here in the United States of America. The U.S.A., the nation built on the ideal of democracy, although until this current White House administration it was believed that we could only fairly present the people through a representative government. This last presidential election demonstrated how the internet could give “real” voice to the people. Though we are divided into fifty parcels of land commonly known as states with each parcel having an elected government at several levels the leadership of these parcels occasion must be reminded of their responsibility to the union’s greatest document of law- the Constitution of the United States of America.

Let it be known that some days we find that Americans are the greatest threats to our liberties and freedom.

We bring harm to our country when we fail to take a stance for our freedom through our actions. Our society, especially in our urban communities where the presence of young gang members, who feel that they are outside of the mainstream and are led by greed and fear, will see the destruction of the urban dweller because we

Maurice Clayton are living our lives seeking a “savior” who will rescue us from ourselves.

The result of this attitude is the behavior of the dissenters/gang members who feel that they can do anything that they want to do. What they don’t know is that eventually the larger population will demand that these youngsters be apprehended and reprimanded by armies of citizens who will demand that these dangerous persons be brought before the courts. Already the citizens want more police and other police types from parts of the country and the state to take on bigger roles in the commandeering of the urban communities affected by violence.

We have to clean up these arrant children who are led by older criminals.

Yur friend, Lurlean - IMA’S MAILBOX SAD DAY AT CHICAGO DEFENDER The Chicago Defender is gong down.

People in the community already think the Chicago Defender is closed.

Now employees are in a bad way there with morale. Monday Michael House announced to the staff at a company meeting that Kathy Chaney (who is a reporter at the Chicago Defender) is “promoted” to website editor. But most employees know that the “promotion”

comes from Kathy Chaney arm wresting with the Chicago Defender management and winning.

The Chicago Defender parent company is located in Detroit, Michigan. She always told some employees how much she disliked her editors.

She sued the company and filed a human rights suit in April (case #2010CF3064 so you know it’s no lie) against her editors Michael House, Lou Ransom, Rhonda Jones-Gillespie. What she got was a “promotion.” She is an award winning reporter. But besides, she doesn’t have experience at all with the website. None.

Other employees in the company that were qualified and interested in the website job were turned down for the position so the company could give it to Kathy Chaney so she would cancel her lawsuit. Other employees in the company have been here for a long-long time without a raise or a “promotion.”

So when you see Kathy Chaney’s name for Chicago Defender website editor, you know she got her “promotion” by arm wrestling and winning ad lying to the Chicago Defender but not because she is qualified for the job.

It is a shame and the company should be embarrassed.

BUSINESS Minority Members of Congress fought for fairness and inclusion In historic Wall Street reform

By Charlene Crowell After two weeks of intense negotiations by a joint Capitol Hill conference committee, Washington lawmakers finally reached agreement on the single largest financial reform package since the 1930s New Deal. The new reforms would establish stronger

Charlene Crowell protections against abusive mortgages, help borrowers facing foreclosures, establish a strong Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and rein in many of the

risky activities of Wall Street and the large banks. Additionally, $2 billion will be equally shared in support of foreclosure prevention assistance and supplemental funding for the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP).

The new reform package will be known as the Dodd-Frank Act, bearing the names of the two lawmakers whose leadership led to consensus: Senator Chris Dodd (CT), who is retiring from the upper chamber and Rep. Barney Frank (MA), conference committee chair and head of the House Financial Services Committee.

Commenting on the late-breaking development, President Obama remarked that he was “gratified� by the compromise saying that it contains 90 percent of what he proposed nearly a year ago.

The 2,000 page bill will now face a vote in each chamber. If lawmakers act swiftly, the bill could reach the President’s desk for signing by the Fourth of July holiday.

For communities of color, the stakes are high in ensuring that reforms remain strong and meaningful. The financial crisis has widened

the racial wealth gap and ongoing foreclosures are hitting minority communities the hardest.

Fortunately, racial and ethnic minority Members of Congress spoke in a unified voice to the range of financial issues that confront communities of color. More-

over, their requests are included in the final consensus version.

In a June 22 letter to Speaker Nancy Pelosi (CA) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (NV), members of three caucuses - the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC), Congressional Hispanic

Caucus (CHC) and the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus (CAPAC) -formally requested $3 billion to provide lowinterest loans to assist unemployed or underemployed homeowners and an additional $1billion for (Continued on page15)

BRIDGING THE DIGITAL DIVIDE Civic Engagement in a Fast Moving Society

C74 ?>F4A >5

In a fast moving society, most people don’t have time to interact with the government using the “old ways,� which explains why broadband is paving the way for civic engagement in the 21st century. This has proven especially true for the African American community.

A country that once depended on hand-written petitions and protesting to get the government’s attention and a community whose parents and grandparents fought to have a voice are quickly realizing that through technology there are more efficient ways of making their voices heard.

The ability to stream public meetings and hearings from home, in a way that invites user participation, is a privilege that previous generations did not have. With the convenience factor of these types of technologies, broadband is becoming more and more desirable to those who wouldn’t normally be able to attend these meetings. People who are confined to their homes or cannot afford to travel can now make a difference like never before.

Programs to encourage civic participation have been gaining popularity on the local level, such as Brownsville22.com, an online tele-

vision station located in Brownsville, Texas. This joint effort between the Brownsville Herald and the UTB Center for Civic Engagement offers videos that draw attention to top matters in the community. The input that is received from viewers is then taken to local officials that have the power to make a difference.

Perhaps even more noteworthy is the Executive Government’s involvement in the social media world. From the campaign of President Obama to Whitehouse.gov which currently has its own YouTube channel focused on sharing the latest news from the White House. For the first time in history, a live-stream of the January 2010 State of the Union speech was made available to broadband users. Afterwards, viewers were given the opportunity to ask follow-up questions of President Obama via the Internet.

Their questions were voted on, and they were able to watch as the President answered.

There’s no denying that the progression of broadband technologies is at full tilt. As broadband continues to inspire and enable programs like the ones mentioned in this article, the ability to stay connected to the issues will become easier than ever.

ing our efforts toward quality programs that enhance youth development,” said Dennis Pedrelli, CEO of CPM, the long-term leaseholder for Chicago ’s onstreet parking meters. “CYC has an impressive track record of working with at-risk youth. That made them the ideal recipient for our first donation.”

A portion of the donated funds will support the operations of CYC’s Elliot Donnelly Youth Center (EDYC), located in Chicago ’s historic Bronzeville community.

EDYC is one of CYC’s eight community-based centers, providing youth programs and services to underserved children who can experience the greatest academic and social growth as a result of their intervention.

“We appreciate CPM stepping up to help us enrich these programs and better serve children who need it the most,” CYC President and CEO Harry Wells said of CPM’s donation. “Through our programs ranging from Head Start to teen leadership development, CYC works tirelessly to meet the needs of young people in neigh-

borhoods across Chicago.”

EDYC Director Sequane Lawrence expressed particular enthusiasm for the funds directed towards the center’s digital computer lab, stating that, “this donation helps to improve the center’s technological infrastructure for youth to learn the latest graphic arts and digital programming.” Other notable features of the EDYC facility include a fullsize indoor swimming pool, an Art Park recreation area, a running track within Lou Jones Fitness Park and a College & Career Readiness Center.

The donation to CYC signals the official launch of CPM’s new philanthropy program: however, this is not the first time CPM has invested in Chicago ’s communities. During the past year, CPM implemented a pilot initiative, donating mini-grants to youthfocused non-profit organizations throughout Chicago ’s diverse neighborhoods. Additionally, LAZ Parking employees often volunteer to participate in events for charitable organizations.

BUT, why is it when “Lil Man,” or “Big Poppa,” or “Baby Girl” wins an award they have to bring everybody from their old neighborhood in Compton or the whole block from the Brewster Projects up onto the stage with them? It does not take 87 of your “homies” to help you accept an award and I’ll bet you don’t know the real names of half the people on stage with you.

Anyway........Here are some of the “winners” of the 2010 BET Awards:

Alicia Keyes Best Female R & B Artist- Alicia Keyes Best Male R & B Artist - Trey Songz Best Gospel Artist - Marvin Sapp Best Group - Young Money Best Female Hip Hop Artist - Nicki Minaj Best Male Hip Hop Artist - Drake Best New Artist - Nicki Minaj Best Collaboration - Jay-Z & Alicia Keyes for “Empire State of Mind” Video of The Year - Beyonce featuring Lady Gaga - “Video Phone” Young Star Award - Keke Palmer Best Actress - Mo’Nique Best Actor - Idris Elba Best Movie - “Precious” Sportswoman of The Year - Serena Williams Sportsman of The Year - LeBron James Also, I wish the “haters” would crawl back under their rocks and leave Chris Brown alone. The KID did an excellent job during his tribute to Michael Jackson, but, the next day, folks were all on the news and the blogs “talkin’ bout” how Chris Brown was acting and next year should receive a “Best Actor” award because he “broke-down” during his performance. GIVE ME A BREAK! Michael Jackson was Chris Brown’s idol and I truly believe Chris was overcome with emotion...and ya’ll can hate me or stop reading my column if you want to, but, I don’t believe all of what Miss Rihanna had to say, anyway!!!!!

YEAH, I SAID IT! 12

ENTERTAINMENT: CHICAGO STYLE

By Elaine Hegwood Bowen, MSJ

Dark Shields feature film premiere July 17 at the Portage Theater Chicago Independent filmmaker Larry Greene invites you to the premiere of his latest fulllength film project “DARK SHIELDS.” This crime drama is about a group of corrupt detectives who are trying to apprehend an untouchable drug lord kingpin. To make matters worse, a retired mob boss is robbed of millions and will do anything to get it back. These detectives must stop the madness before war erupts on the streets. But how can they do some good when they already have bad intentions themselves?

This film was written, produced and directed by Larry Greene. To view the trailer, go to http://www.youtube.com/darkshieldsmovie. The film was shot entirely in Chicago.

The Red Carpet Premiere will be held at the historic Portage Theater located on the Northwest side of Chicago, 4050 N. Milwaukee Ave. There will be two showings, one at 5p.m., and 8 p.m. Tickets are $8 in advance and $10 at the door. Tickets can be purchased through http://www.portagetheater.org.

The Portage Theater is the new home for The Silent Film Society of Chicago. Designed by architect Henry Newhouse, the theatre opened on December 11, 1920, with 1,938 seats as part of the Ascher Brothers theatre chain. Pre-dating the advent of America's movie palaces, the Portage Theater's megaphoneshaped auditorium features a

formal beaux-arts opera house design.

When the theatre was taken over by Balaban and Katz in 1940, its marquee, entrance lobby and foyer were redecorated in a sleek, streamlined art deco style to complement its new art deco neighbors -- the monolithic Sears department store and the fivestory Klee Brothers building. In the 1980s, the theater underwent

a dramatic change when a wall was constructed down the middle of the existing auditorium, resulting in two oddly-shaped cinemas.

After a five-year period of darkness, the theater was reopened to its original shape, and has been refurbished and restored to its 1920s splendor.

If you would like more information about this screening, call the theater at 773.736.4050.

WORLD OF MUSIC

By Dr. Barbara Wright-Pryor

Wendell Logan, dead at 69 Founder and Chair of Jazz Studies at Oberlin Conservatory Wendell Logan, founder of the jazz department at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, died on June 15 in Cleveland at the age of 69 after a brief illness. At his death he was chairman of the jazz studies department and professor of African-American music at the conservatory which is part of Oberlin College.

Dr. Logan, who played soprano saxophone and trumpet, joined the faculty in 1973 and began offering jazz classes soon afterward.

Besides composing many jazz works, Logan wrote concert music in a compositional style that integrated elements of Modernism, European classicism and African-American musical traditions like jazz, blues and gospel.

Among his best-known concert works are ‘Doxology Opera: The Doxy Canticles’ (2001), a sung drama of race and morality with a libretto by Paul Carter Harrison, (which made its Chicago debut in February 2001 in a concert co-presented by the Center for Black Music Research and the Museum of Contemporary Art), and ‘Runagate, Runagate’ (1989), a setting of Robert E. Hayden’s poem about a fugitive slave also presented by the Center for Black Music Research’s Black Music Repertory Ensemble (BMRE) in New York City’s Alice Tully Hall in 1999.

Prior to Logan’s arrival at Oberlin the world-famous institution had long been recognized as a premier music school that produced world-caliber classical artists, conductors and orchestral musicians, with jazz as an ex-

Composer George Walker celebrates 88th birthday Celebrated composer and pianist George Walker was born in Washington, D.C. June 27, 1922.

The year leading up to his 88th birthday has been filled with notable events. One of the most significant was the premiere of his “Violin Concerto” on December 10, 2009. The violinist was his son Gregory Walker, Professor of Music at the University of Colorado, Denver. He was accompanied by The Philadelphia Orchestra conducted by Neemi Järvi.

In 1996 George Walker became the first African American composer to win the Pulitzer Prize in Music for his composition, “Lilacs,” for voice and orchestra. The year 2010 has witnessed the release of a CD recorded in Warsaw on Octo-

George Walker ber 30, 2009, “Great American Orchestral Music, Vol. 2” with Gregory Walker on violin and Andrzej Krzyzanowski on solo flute.

Ian Hobson conducted the Sinfonia Varsovia. The CD is an Albany Records release, Troy 1178.

On December 1, 2009 the web-

site AfriClassical.com posted: “‘George Walker: Chamber Music’ on Naxos, streaming and download; Notes by composer.” Naxos provides the notes of the composer at a link titled “About the Recording” presently available by streaming and download only, however Naxos has announced the release of a CD version in July 2010.

George Walker’s autobiography has been completed in the past year in a 230-page hardcover edition entitled “George Walker: Reminiscences of an American Composer and Pianist.” It was released by Scarecrow Press in 2009. Dr. Walker is profiled at AfriClassical.com and his personal website is georgetwalker.com.

tracurricular subject, at best. It wasn’t until 1989, under Wendell Logan’s leadership, that a four-year curriculum in jazz studies became an official major leading to a Bachelor of Music degree with a concentration in performance or composition.

Wendell Morris Logan was born November 24, 1940, in Thomson, Ga. His first musical studies were with his father, an amateur alto saxophonist. He attended the historically-black institution Florida A&M University on a football scholarship, graduating in 1962 with a bachelor’s degree in music. He earned a master’s in music from Southern

Illinois University, Carbondale, in 1964 and a Ph.D. in music theory and composition from the University of Iowa in 1968.

Dr. Logan is survived by his wife Bettye, two children, four grandchildren and two brothers.

A private service has been held in Lorain, Ohio. A public memorial is being planned for this fall at Oberlin College.

Ohlsson was the first American ever to win the coveted gold medal at the International Chopin Competition in Warsaw.

The all-Chopin program included both concertos and various famous solo works: Fantasie in F minor/A-flat Major, Op. 49 and Piano concerto No. 2 in F Minor, Op. 21; followed by Scherzo in Bflat Minor/D-flat Major, Op.31, and the Piano Concerto No. 1 in E Minor, Op. 11 following intermission.

people in our communities and people across the nation who believe as we do that the future of this nation has to be inclusive in a multiracial fashion so that AfricanAmericans are involved in the major things that take place in this country.”

Upon the 70th anniversary of NNPA and the upcoming 100th anniversary of the NUL, Morial also spoke about the need to craft a new Black agenda in a “time of great contradictions,” referencing the 2000 presidential election that was decided by a 5-4 Supreme Court vote in favor of George W. Bush, the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Hurricane Katrina, the wars in Iraq and

Afghanistan, the recent economic recession that was one of the worst in U.S. history and very recently, the unprecedented oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. But he then countered with the historicity of this decade with the ascension of Black men as the president of the United States, as the head of the Department of Justice, and as Black chief executives of some the country’s most powerful corporations such as Merrill Lynch, Xerox and American Express.

“Along the continuum of history, no one would have suggested or predicted that any of the above would occur in just a ten year period,” Morial said. “These are times when the history books are being written and re-written.

In 1999, Black America had a 7.2 percent unemployment rate, the lowest rate in the 50 years since this kind of data have been recorded. And now, ten years plus later, our unemployment rate is twice as high and the real rate is even higher. Against this backdrop of difficult and tough times, that we have also witnessed, African-Americans achieve the highest places in American life. These are the times that you and I, as community and civic leaders, are bound to address the challenges.”

He rallied for a new period of Black activism. He coined it “intelligent activism”, which he described as changing the conversation by “not raising hollow, holy” hell but,

also ten thousand Black elected officials in various local, state and national offices.

“We are a community that has assets and power as much as we want to organize it and use it,” Morial said. “I want us to think of ourselves as a community of assets that brings something to the economic table of America, not as a community of deficits and problems, so that we are not coming looking with a hand out. We are looking as an investor in the American dream.”

rather, making a pointed case with common sense facts and arguments.

“We have to be driven by our objective,” Morial said.

“Dr. King, Thurgood Marshall and all of the great leaders of the 1960s had an objective, which was to end segregation in American life.

And they achieved that objective as a matter of law. Our objective needs to be to end disparities in American life to achieve economic parity in the 21st century.”

Morial said that AfricanAmericans, because of their size, are a force to be reckoned with. There are an estimated 40 million Black people that account for $800 billion dollars in spending in the U.S, according to Morial. There are

grants to help communities fight foreclosures, home abandonment and blight.

Citing research by the Center for Responsible Lending, the Members noted that beyond the millions of nationwide homes likely to enter foreclosure, some $1.86 trillion in lost wealth from plummeting property values would affect more than 91 million homes still-occupied but located nearby foreclosed homes.

In part, the letter signed by caucus leaders Barbara Lee (CA), Charles Gonzalez (TX) and Michael Honda (CA), states, “Without additional funding, distressed properties would otherwise either sit vacant or be sold to unscrupulous absentee investors, who often fail to rehabilitate the properties and leave neighbors and local governments to deal with the costly blight.”

In addition to this joint request, conference committee members from the Congressional Black Caucus additionally secured support for an Office of Minority and Women Inclusion. Authored by Congresswoman Maxine Waters, the initiative, endorsed by the bipartisan conference committee will “ensure equal employment opportunity and racial, ethnic and gender diversity”. The new agency will also work to increase “the participation of minority-owned and women-owned businesses in the programs and contracts” of each agency.

Directors of these offices would be Presidential appointees and require Senate confirmation as members of the Senior Executive Service.

Once confirmed, however, they would develop standards The Chicago Crusader

within each agency to assess diversity policies and practices in each federal financial agency, the 12 regional banks of the Federal Reserve, and the Fed Board of Governors.

This development is intended to eliminate the exclusionary practices that such federal programs as the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) wrought. Once touted as a major economic stimulus program, TARP has yet to stimulate most minority businesses even though $700 billion in taxpayer funding was authorized.

Both the Government Accountability Office (GAO) and the Office of Personnel Management have documented the dearth of African-American and Hispanic senior managers at federal financial services agencies. From 1993 to 2008, for example, minority senior managers at the U.S. Treasury Department numbered only 17.2 percent of its workforce.

The request for the new Office was endorsed by all CBC members who serve with Representative Waters on the House Financial Services Committee: Representatives Andre Carson (IN), Bill Clay (MO), Al Green (TX), Gwen Moore (WI), David Scott (GA) and Mel Watt (NC).

The success of preserving these minority-focused provisions did not occur without public resistance. A June 14 editorial by the Wall Street Journal found the initiative to be political intrusion, saying in part, “If the Waters provision passes, federal regulators will have to put racial and gender lending at the top of their watch list when they do their checks on the banks and hedge

funds they are regulating.”

On June 18, a rebuttal by Congresswoman Waters refuted the paper’s claim writing, “Nothing in this bill would require, cause, nudge or even hint that a financial services agency should abandon or subjugate its focus on systemic risk to make loans based on race or gender.”

“What this legislation will do”, continued Waters “is help address an indisputable problem, the lack of diversity in financial services. The provision is designed to broaden and improve the workforce of these agencies and expand opportunities for our nation’s small businesses – including minority and women-owned businesses – to participate in programs and contracts instead of continuing to rely on the same “old boy” network and handful of Wall Street firms responsible for the crisis in the financial markets.”

The Congresswoman is right. Whenever America’s vision has embraced the ideas and talents of all its peoples, our nation has moved closer

to the ideals espoused in our living documents.

As we approach the annual Fourth of July festivities, now would be a propitious moment to remember that although our country’s Declaration of Independence proclaimed that “all men are created equal” the painful truth is that people of color have had a distinctly different American experience.

As long as people of color lack economic parity, we may have our freedom; but still lack the equality our nation promised.

Postal Service honors Negro Leagues with a stamp

By J. Coyden Palmer In honor of the Negro Leagues, the U.S. Postal Service will issue two 44-cent stamps in July to pay tribute to the all-Black professional baseball leagues that operated from 1920 to about 1960.

The stamps will feature a scene painted by Kadir Nelson and will include Andrew “Rube” Foster, who organized the Negro National Leagues in Chicago in 1920. It was the first long-lasting professional league for African American players. The stamps were unveiled prior to the start of the “Double Duty Classic” AllStar Game for youth Wednesday (June 30) at U.S. Cellular Field, during a private forum that featured a question and answer session with Major League Baseball brass, sportscaster Jim Rose and ESPN and Chicago native journalist Scoop Jackson.

Several former Negro League players were on hand during the unveiling. Also in attendance was Greg Baker, Negro Leagues Baseball Museum president. About 100 people attended the event that was held inside the Conference and Learning Center inside U.S. Cellular Field.

“The U.S. Postal Service is pleased to once again recognize legendary figures in American history as part of our Commemorative Stamp series,” said Gloria Tyson, Chicago District Manager/Postmaster, U.S. Postal Service. “The Negro Leagues drew some of the most remarkable ath-

letes to ever play the sport of baseball, including Satchel Paige and Josh Gibson. They galvanized African-American communities across the country, challenged racist notions of athletic superiority, and ultimately sparked the integration of American sports.”

That tradition of the Negro Leagues is being passed down to today’s youth players. Although baseball is not as popular as it once was among African Americans for many reasons, several people and organizations are attempting to change that. This year’s “Double Duty Classic” featured the top high school players from across the country. The teams wore uniforms honoring the Negro Leagues’ East-West All-Star teams and former Negro League Player Thomas “High Pocket” Turner threw out the first pitch.

“The Double Duty Classic pays tribute to the legacy of those who worked diligently and sacrificed greatly so that players of all races could enjoy the game of baseball,” said Kenny Williams, General Manager of the Chicago White Sox. “The White Sox hope to share that legacy with baseball’s next generation through this special event, and make certain that today’s athletes understand the traditions they represent as they develop as players and, much more importantly, as people.”

Williams told the players during the forum that baseball is a

very difficult sport to play and many Black youth give up when things get tough. He said many kids are not practicing properly to get them to the highest levels of the sport.

“You need to be taking ground ball fielding of 100 balls a day,” Williams said. “You also need to

be working on your swing. If you’re not taking 500 swings a day, then you’re really not working. And the thing baseball scouts are really looking for now are players who can throw the ball. You have to start out playing long toss at 60 feet; then extend to 90 feet; then to 120 feet;

AVAILABLE THIS MONTH from the United States Postal Service are two new stamps recognizing the Negro League. until eventually you can throw the ball from the third base line to the center field wall. That’s when you know you can throw,” he said to an audience of laughter.”

Scoop Jackson stuck with Williams’ theme of hard work.

An alumnus of Luther High School South, Jackson has become one of the most respected sports journalists in the country.

His love of sports of which he played in high school and as a youth, led him to a career in sports journalism. He had a few simple words for today’s Black youth: “The only time success comes before work is in the dictionary.”

Pre-Season Refuel with Chocolate Milk Football practice is already underway at Hubbard High School, as the Greyhounds prepare for their first game of the season on August 28, against Adams High School in South Bend, Indiana. In preparation, Chicago Bears Running Back, Garrett Wolfe #25, recently visited the team in connection with the South Side high school’s winning Midwest Dairy Council’s Refuel with Chocolate Milk Grant Program. Wolfe talked to the players about the importance of nutrition and fitness to his athletic performance and endurance, distributed 16 ounce bottles of chocolate milk, and joined the team’s Head Coach, Elton Harris, to name the champion sports drink the team’s Official Beverage. He also added his name to a poster, pledging to drink and help encourage the consumption of chocolate milk.

high 120 yards and 1 touchdown on 22 carries last year.

This season, the 5-7, 185pounder hopes to contribute in new offensive coordinator Mike Martz’s system. Midwest Dairy Council’s Refuel with Chocolate Milk Grant Program provides competitive grants to varsity high school athletic teams to promote better nutrition in high school athletes by encouraging the consumption of 16 oz. of chocolate milk within one-half hour after practice, workouts and competitions. A study of young adult athletes found that chocolate milk was almost twice as effective as commercial sports drinks in refueling tired muscles. Hubbard was among 28 schools in nine states (Arkansas, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota and eastern Oklahoma) and the only Chicago Public School to receive the Refuel with Choco-

DURING THE PEP RALLY, Wolfe also signed the t-shirt of each player, distributed chocolate milk (and enjoyed a chug himself) and posed for a group photo with the team.
