Main Library’s New Director Talks Black History Month, Future Plans By A.J. Dugger III
Kent Oliver became the Main Public Library’s New Director Last June
NASHVILLE, TN — Kent Oliver became the Main Public Library’s director last June and has left quite an impact in less than a year. According to the new director, he’s just getting started. “The Main Library here is phenomenal. This is one of the top Main Libraries in the United States for an urban city. The fact that we’re able to do some great programming here is something special,” he told The Tennessee Tribune. Originally from Kansas, Oliver was previously the executive director of The Stark County District Library in Kenton, Ohio. He noted the similarities and differences between his new job and
his previous one. “Nashville is a slightly larger operation,” he said. “It has many of the same characteristics as Stark County’s Main Library.” After explaining that the programming and services are very similar at both libraries, Oliver joked that Nashville’s weather was much warmer. This was an example of why Oliver’s easygoing personality makes him fun and easy to work with for the staff. One of his employers wished for anonymity but wanted to go on record saying that Oliver has brought with him several unique marketing ideas for the library and is open and friendly to everyone he works with. “If I’m not providing good communication, then its hard for us to provide excellent service,”
Oliver added. However, Oliver admits that he can’t run the operation on his own. “Everybody is equally important when it comes to providing services.” With Oliver at the helm, the library is looking forward to a bright future as they plan to upgrade and provide more adult literacy. They are looking at overall services and programs that will impact the community in a positive way. Also in the works is an upcoming quarterly publication that will be available to the community with events and activities for the library. One of Oliver’s goals is for the library to become an access point for people that need technology. Library

African American Eyewitness to Shiloh Earned Medal of Honor
Andrew Jackson Smith
Andrew Jackson Smith Trading Card, State Library of Massachusetts
by Park Ranger Charlie Spearman
Andrew Jackson Smith was born a slave in Lyon County Kentucky in 1843. In early 1862, when his master returned from the Confederate Army to take him back, Smith ran away with another slave and reached Union lines near Smithland, Kentucky. By that time, the Union First Confiscation Act was in effect directing that slaves not be returned to their masters who were in Confederate service. Smith became a servant to Major John Warner of the 41st Illinois. He accompanied that unit and Major Warner during the battles of Fort Donelson and Shiloh. During the Battle of Shiloh, near the Peach Orchard, the 19-year old Smith was given the responsibility of caring for Warner’s wounded horse behind the Union lines. When a second captured horse was also wounded Warner handed it over to Smith as well and told him to keep back out of danger. A short time later Smith received a gunshot wound to the head. After the battle, Smith accompanied Warner back to his home in Clinton, Illinois where he recovered from his wound and continued to act as a servant. In 1863, he learned that Colored Units were being raised in Massachusetts. With transportation money provided by Major War-

Andrew Jackson Smith’s headstone
ner, Smith traveled to Boston where he joined the 55th Massachusetts Colored Infantry. He served with the 55th at the Battle of Honey Hill in South Carolina on November 30, 1864. During the battle his unit suffered heavy losses attacking a Confederate defensive position, including the color bearer who was hit by an artillery shell. Andy caught the falling Color Sergeant Robert King with one hand and grabbed the flag with the other. Lieutenant Ellsworth, who was the commander at the time, screamed at Smith, “For God’s sake, save the flag!” Smith carried the colors through the rest of the battle. Smith would eventually be nominated for the Medal of Honor in 1916 for his bravery in saving the colors. Dr. Burt G. Wilder, the regimental surgeon for the 55th Massachusetts, began a lifelong cor-
respondence with Andrew J. Smith in hopes of securing the Medal of Honor for his Andy’s bravery at Honey Hill. So many of the officers including its colonel, had been wounded during the battle, that Andrew Jackson Smith’s brave deed was not well documented. In addition, the proposal came at a time of increasing racial prejudice as African-Americans were being denied the right to serve as combat troops in World War I. Among the letters written to support Corporal Smith’s application was one written by Major Warner’s son to Dr. Wilder on March 10, 1917: Dear Sir: Mr. Andy Smith of Grand River, Kentucky, having asked me to write you what I remember in relation to a wound he received at the battle of Shiloh, I will state that for some time before that battle he had been a servant of my father, who was the Major and afterwards Lieutenant Colonel in command of the 41st Illinois Volunteer Infantry, and when the battle opened, my father told Andy to keep him in sight with a canteen
of water, and if he, my father, should fall, to come to him with the water. That sometime after my father’s regiment became engaged the horse on which he was mounted was wounded and my father was dismounted and turning found Andy standing close to him and giving the wounded horse to Andy, told him to take it to the rear and stay there. A short time afterwards a horse from which some Confederate had been shot, galloped out between the lines and my father rushed out, caught and mounted him. Soon afterward this second horse was wounded and my father again dismounted and turning, found Andy standing close to him again and handing the second horse to Andy, told him to take it back and keep out of danger, and just then Andy received a gun shot wound in the head from the enemy. The above is all I remember of the matter. Andy was certainly a brave and loyal boy. Yours truly, Vespasian Warner In spite of this and other letters of recommendation the application was denied for lack of documentation by the army. Smith moved back to Kentucky after the war, and would pass away on March 4, 1932, at the age of 88. On January 16, 2001, Smith’s Medal of Honor was awarded and presented to his 93-year-old daughter Mrs. Carew Smith Washington in a ceremony at the White House by President Bill Clinton. This veteran of the Battle of Shiloh finally received his Medal of Honor 137 years after his brave actions at the Battle of Honey Hill, South Carolina. In honor of Black History Month 2013, children are invited to visit Shiloh National Military Park, and receive their own Andrew Jackson Smith trading card. Any child who has read about Smith through this article, and discusses Smith’s actions with a park ranger will earn a free card. This card along with four other trading cards, depicting Shiloh veterans, is available at the visitor center during regular business hours. For more information about the cards please call the park at 731689-5696.
MTSU Posters at Capitol Researcher Targets African American Students NASHVILLE, TN — MTSU senior Paige Stubbs plans to be an educator after graduating, and already has a heart for the young people she eventually will be teaching. Advice Stubbs received from state Rep. Lois DeBerry, D-Memphis, during the seventh annual Posters at the Capitol event in Nashville fueled her career plans and desires even further. Stubbs was one of 64 scheduled undergraduate student researchers from nine Tennessee universities attending Posters at the Capitol. The planned visit allowed them the chance to meet, ask questions and discuss their research with their state lawmakers. In addition to MTSU, other Tennessee Board of Regents and University of Tennessee system schools sending scholars included Austin Peay, East Tennessee State and Tennessee State universities; Tennessee Technological University; the University of Memphis; and the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, Knoxville and Martin. “She (DeBerry) said we have to motivate our students,” said Stubbs, who is from Memphis, the city the veteran legislator represents. “My goal is to motivate students to like math and science.” Stubbs, a math major mentored by Dr. Michaele Chappell in mathematical sciences, exhibited a poster titled “African-American Students’ Participation in STEM Majors: Factoring Out Failure, Striving for Success.” STEM includes science, technology, engineering and math. Part of Stubbs’ research interest came from being a member of the McNair Scholars and Tennessee Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participants programs. State Sen. Bill Ketron, R-Murfreesboro, spent about 30 minutes with four local students who included MTSU senior Joshua Horvath of Rockvale, Tenn. “It gives me encouragement to see stu-
dents thinking outside the classroom and outside the box,” Ketron said of the next generation of researchers. One of eight MTSU students participating, senior Jordon Dodson of Murfreesboro said it was a “privilege to represent your university. It’s a chance to meet other students who are at the top of their classes. One day, I’ll see them in the workplace. They’ll go on to be researchers. We all have the same interests and all want to go on and be scientists.” In addition to Stubbs and Dodson, other MTSU students included seniors Joseph Keasler of Murfreesboro, Adam Banach of Mt. Juliet, Tenn., Joshua Horvath of Rockvale, Tenn., Matthew S. “Matt” Harris of Quincy, Ill., Jacob Basham of Portland, Tenn., and Kevin McDaniel of Murfreesboro. Dr. Andrienne Friedli, chemistry professor and director of the Undergraduate Research Center, called it “an honor to be selected” to participate in Posters at the Capitol, but also a challenge. “They usually present at trade conferences,” Friedli said. “Here, they were talking to lay people. They were bringing their research to a level others understand. They have an audience of politicians who care about the impact on the taxpayer. All of the students get to see how the legislature works, what the politicians do on a daily basis and see democracy in action.” Tennessee STEM Education Center Director Tom Cheatham said an unexpected turn of events occurred when state Rep. Brenda Gilmore, D-Nashville, “invited the whole group into the House chambers and practiced being a representative. She (Gilmore) proposed a bill and they all got to vote. It was not something planned, but it was a great idea on her part.” John Hood, former state representative and now MTSU director of community engagement, commended the students in their research efforts.

Graduate Encourages Struggling Fathers to Particpate By A.J. Dugger III
The New Life program made a difference for David Walton
David Walton was smiling wide when he graduated from the New Life Program last month. Walton, 52, spoke highly of the program, which offers financial assistance and parental guidance to struggling fathers. “Anybody can sign up for it. It’s a good program for parents in general because the fellowship of men is something you can’t put a value on. That’s so important.” New Life’s objective is to provide fathers with the support, skills and knowledge they need to become the best positive influence they can be on the lives of their children and maximize the health and well-being of Nashville’s families. In Davidson County there are 22,829 households led by single mothers with children under the age of 18. Twelve percent of married couples are living below the poverty line while forty nine percent
of the single mothers were living below the poverty line. The New Life Program is here to help reduce those numbers. New Life’s primary goal is to assist Nashville in becoming one of the safest places to raise a child. “I’m proud to be an alumni,” said Walton, who joined the program during an unhappy period in his life. Walton has an eight year-old son with his former wife, whom he was married to from 2003 until 2009. By 2010, the divorce was complete. “The divorce was the roughest thing I have ever experienced in my life. I never want to experience that again,” he said. Things were made even more complicated by issues concerning parental time. One day last fall, Walton was reading The Tennessee Tribune and came across an article about the program and decided to call and get more information. Not long afterward, he was enrolled in the eightweek program. “What helped me
the most was the fellowship that I received from the brothers in the class,” said Walton. “Even though we come from different backgrounds and situations, the one thing we had in common was that all of us wanted to be in our children’s lives.” New Life offers helps their participants to secure home ownership and discover new employment activities. The program also provides help with parenting skills, financial security, self sufficiency, self esteem, and stress and anger management skills. Walton encourages anyone that needs assistance to enroll in the program. Fathers wishing to enroll should call 615-340-8989 with and provide their name and contact information. To refer a father, call 615-3408989. For more information visit http://www.nashville.gov/Health-Department/Family-Youth-and-InfantHealth/New-Life-Fatherhood-Program.aspx
Nashville Singers Offers Free Vocal Workshop and Concert
Funds raised by Bowl for Kids’ Sake are used to recruit new volunteers to serve children
Big Brothers Big Sisters “Bowl for Kids’ Sake” Kicks Off NASHVILLE, TN —Big Brothers Big Sisters of Middle Tennessee announced the kick off for the 2013 season of the mentoring agency’s largest fundraising campaign, Bowl for Kids’ Sake, an event that has been held for more than thirty years across Middle Tennessee. This year’s campaign hopes to help children “strike it big in life.” The series of bowl-athon events will feature teams from all across Middle Tennessee raising pledges and building friendships while also helping provide mentors to children in Middle Tennessee awaiting services. New for 2013 participants in each night of the campaign will be competing for three “grand prizes” – a Kindle Fire, a pair of Titans tickets or local concert tickets, and gift cards from area restaurants. “We have talked to our regular bowlers and asked them for suggestions that would really increase their group’s excitement levels on a given night... and nightly campaign prizes were a big hit in our surveys,” commented WKRN-TV’s Justin Bruce, Honorary Chair of Bowl for Kids’ Sake, who is also a volunteer mentor for the organization. “Big Broth-
ers Big Sisters is excellent at customizing each night’s bowling experience for the groups that are in attendance - and creating not only a tradition, but a legacy event that groups earmark with anticipation into their calendars.” Participants in the event raise pledges from family and friends, 100% of which go to fund mentoring programs on behalf of children in Middle Tennessee. Last year’s edition raised a record $216,000 for the children of Big Brothers Big Sisters – providing a one-to-one mentor for more than 216 children. Funds raised by Bowl for Kids’ Sake are used to recruit new volunteers to serve children – paying to conduct background checks on volunteers to ensure child safety, and provide ongoing support for children, families and volunteers to build and sustain longlasting relationships. Children served with a mentor are proven to do better in school, avoid drugs and violence, and increase in their self-confidence. “We were able to serve 2,078 children in one to one mentoring matches in the eight Middle Tennessee counties we served in 2012. Fundraising events
like Bowl for Kids’ Sake will allow us to continue serving and increase the number of children we can reach and impact,” commented Mary E. Walker, Interim CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Middle Tennessee. “We need the help of the community, especially in this tough economic climate and we are asking folks to grab a few friends, put on some bowling shoes and raise money by bowling so we can make new mentoring matches and provide opportunities for children facing adversity to change their lives for the better, forever.” The 2013 season has a financial goal of $250,000 for the charity. Bowling will include several dates in Nashville, Murfreesboro and Springfield beginning in March, 2013. Companies can receive more information on supporting the event by signing up teams to participate or learning about other opportunities at www.tnbowling. org or call (615) 522-5665.

kings, heads of state and all kinds of powerful people,” recalls Kline. “We also had a white basketball team traveling with us that we played against. We all got along very well. So that image of the Globetrotters playing and traveling with a white team of players greatly improved the racial image to other countries we were visiting.” Many years later Dr. Kline wrote a book about his years with the Harlem Globetrotters titled “Black Pawns in the Cold War.” Kline traveled the world, socializing with celebrities and dignitaries such as Marilyn Monroe, Joe DiMaggio, Chang
Kai-shek, “Papa Doc” Duvalier, Kid Gavilán, Juan Perón, and many others. But once the team returned to the states the realities of racism set in. As Kline recalls, “The Globetrotters had 3 teams at the time. I was on the western team that mostly covered the west coast, Montana, and the Dakotas. There were still times when we couldn’t stay in white hotels. We often had to go over to eat at places in the black communities and there were times when we had to stay the night in the private homes of black families when we couldn’t stay in hotels. A few months later I started traveling with the southern region Globetrotters and that was totally different. We weren’t even allowed to play against the all-white team we normally played against. We even had to play to two separate audiences—an all black crowd and then an all white audience. But as time passed of course, integration came in and the crowd became one big audience of all races.” During Kline’s tenure with the Globetrotters they won the “World Series of Basketball” against the College All-Americans, and in 1959 posted their first undefeated season with 441 wins. Mr. Kline returned to Detroit in 1960 and once again his life changed again but this time in a negative direction, after he became addicted to drugs. “I could either face prison and eventual death, or I could choose life, not only for myself but for the people I loved. I chose life,” he states proudly. Through sheer self-determination and hard work, he literally willed himself out of drug addiction and returned to Wayne State University to complete his bachelor’s, master’s and doctorate degrees. For the next 25 years, he devoted his work to research, program development, and helping others through wellness and substance abuse prevention. He went on to receive numerous accolades from local Detroit area politicians and even the governor of Michigan, for his work in drug prevention. Dr. Kline received national exposure as a regional coordinator for President Ronald Reagan’s “Say No To Drugs Campaign.” Today, at age 81, Dr. Kline is the co-founder of the Youth Athletic Enrichments Program and president of the Black Legends of Professional Basketball Foundation, and he’s the author of several best-selling books. His latest book, “The Power of Positive Living,” guides African-Americans and others on a nine-day path to better health, happiness and success.

Kid Rock & Smokey No Kiddin—Kid Rock Really “Rocked” Bridgestone! By Tia Aires
Kid Rock returned to Nashville, his part time home of recent years, and totally rocked it out at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena with his Rebel Soul Tour. Rock is one of America’s largest musical personalities of today. He has sold over 26 million albums worldwide. He continues to sell out stadiums and arenas throughout the world. The diverse musician/rocker has a loyal following of devoted support of fans in the military. In addition, he’s made a name for himself as being a leader in helping to raise money and awareness for causes relating to the rebuilding of his hometown city of Detroit. The concert opened up with Buck Cherry, which got the Nashville crowd fired up. A special appearance from and coming country star Ashley Monroe, who’s best known for her debut with the group Pistol Annie. Ashley and Kid later sang “Picture” together. Mr. Rock did not disappoint his loyal following. He made an exploding appearance through the floor, followed by spectacular on screen videos and an amazing laser/light show. The crowd went wilder when none other than Hank Williams Jr. made a surprise appearance to sing “Redneck Paradise.” Kid Rock is very fan based. He invited a fan on stage, sang to her, and then was nice enough to give her the guitar he was playing! The Rebel Soul Tour is a must-see show for 2013.

KAM’S KOLUMN
The Envelope Please! Oscar Predictions
Kam Williams
by Kam Williams
Lincoln opened the awards season as the odds-on favorite to win the Academy Award for Best Picture by virtue of its landing the most nominations. But the snub of Ben Affleck in the Best Director category made his movie, Argo, the sentimental favorite of the Golden Globes and the Screen Actors Guild, and the momentum of that sympathy vote is likely to carry over to Oscar night. While Lincoln won’t take home the top prize, it will nevertheless win the most awards (5), followed by Les Miserables (3), and then by a number of films taking 2 apiece: Argo, Silver Linings Playbook, Life of Pi, Skyfall and Django Unchained. A quintet of Oscars sans Best Picture won’t exactly be a sweep, but it’s a far better fate than that of Zero Dark Thirty, whose hopes were torpedoed by political blowback even before it had a chance to open in theaters. Besides forecasting the winners below, I also indicate which among the nominees in the major categories are actually the most deserving. And because some great performances are invariably snubbed by the Academy, I also point out a few I feel were overlooked entirely. The 85th Academy Awards will air live on ABC on Sunday, February 24th at 8 PM ET/5 PM PT, and will be hosted by Seth MacFarlane. Best Picture: Will Win: Argo Deserves to Win: Zero Dark Thirty Overlooked: Looper Best Director Will Win: Steven Spielberg (Lincoln) Deserves to Win: David O. Russell (Silver Linings Playbook) Overlooked: Kathryn Bigelow (Zero Dark Thirty), Ben Affleck (Argo) and Quentin Tarantino (Django Unchained) Best Actor Will Win: Daniel Day Lewis (Lincoln) Deserves to Win: Daniel Day Lewis (Lincoln) Overlooked: John Hawkes (The Sessions) and Suraj Sharma (Life of Pi)
Best Actress Will Win: Jennifer Lawrence (Silver Linings Playbook) Deserves to Win: Jessica Chastain (Zero Dark Thirty) Overlooked: Rachel Weisz (The Deep Blue Sea) and Ann Dowd (Compliance) Best Supporting Actor Will Win: Tommy Lee Jones (Lincoln) Deserves to Win: Christoph Waltz (Django Unchained) Overlooked: Leonardo DiCaprio (Django Unchained) and Matthew McConaughey (Magic Mike) Best Supporting Actress Will Win: Ann Hathaway (Les Miserables) Deserves to Win: Helen Hunt (The Sessions) Overlooked: Emily Blunt (Looper) Best Original Screenplay: Will Win: Quentin Tarantino (Django Unchained) Deserves to Win: Mark Boal (Zero Dark Thirty) Overlooked: Rian Johnson (Looper) Best Adapted Screenplay: Will Win: Tony Kushner (Lincoln) Deserves to Win: David O.

Gwendolyn, my niece is on Marijuana and my nephew is an alcoholic. I love them dearly and hope they will be able to break their addiction. However, I strongly feel their downfall in life was their mom. Why would she make those statements when parents are trying to plead with their children to “Just say no.” On our way to the airport, I told my daughter to completely ignore everything she heard my sister say. Please help me to understand her logic. Rachel
Dear Gwendolyn: Six years ago I gave my daughter for her graduation gift a trip to California. My sister lived there so it was perfect thought since I didn’t have hotel money to travel elsewhere. During our visit while sitting at the table having breakfast, this is what happened: My sister made the statement, “It is okay to smoke Marijuana.” She also went on to say that “A college degree is not necessary.” Yes, six years Dear Rachel: Let me tell you this: have passed and my daughter finished college There is nothing difficult with the highest grade to understand. Your sister
made those statements so that your daughter would fail. It is amazing how people (even relatives) hate to see others get ahead. I congratulate you on informing your daughter to ignore everything she heard her aunt say. With mothers having to visit their sons and daughters in jails, prisons and juvenile detentions, her statement was totally out-of-line. It is bad how some people waste their life trying to destroy those around them. This is clearly what is considered a ‘backfire.’ While trying to corrupt your daughter, her plan boomeranged and she, destroyed her own. Copyright © 2013 by Gwendolyn L. Baines).

By Rych McCain, Feedbackrych@sbcglobal.net
It is that time of year again where I personally select favorites for my TOP TEN LIST OF HOLLYWOOD’S MOST TALENTED YOUTH! The candidates (18 yrs and under), are selected strictly from the interviews that I have conducted with them during 2012. If I didn’t interview you – you don’t qualify for my list! It’s that simple (hint publicists, young artists and anyone else who feels left out)! As with every year, my hat goes off in a major salute to the parents of these exceptional young artists, who have made untold sacrifices well beyond what many parents would be willing to make. Many of these parents have pulled up stakes and moved the entire family to L.A. and other cities it took for their child or children to make it in the biz. The list is presented in alphabetical order and the ages listed are from last year. 1. Landry Bender (age 11), Landry endeared the hearts of fans world-wide as the grownup wannabe, rebellious baby
child “Blithe” in “The Sitter,” for 20th Century Fox Pictures. Landry continuously received more hits than any talent on my blog for the first six months after she was posted. 2. Danielle Campbell (age 17), Danielle as the spoiled, poor little rich girl Cindy Needleman, raised a few eyebrows when she challenged Madea with no clue of the consequences in Tyler Perry’s “Madea’s Witness Protection,” for Lionsgate Films. 3. Kevin Hernandz (age 14), Kevin was the Rodrigo, the misfit step brother from hell in “The Sitter,” for 20th Century Fox Pictures. 4. Coco Joans (age 14), Coco played teen singing sensation Roxanne Andrews in the smash hit TV movie “Let It Shine,” for the Disney TV Network Channel. 5. Cymphonique Miller (age 15), Cymphonique is the jubilant high school leader of the pack, Kacey Simon on the hit teen sitcom “How To Rock,” for the Nickelodeon TV Network. 6. Nick Nervies (age 17), Nick portrayed Tyler, who was one of two security guards who couldn’t handle a teen party that spiraled totally out of control in “Project X,” for Warner Bros. Pictures. 7. Cierra Ramirez (age 17), Cierra consistently put her mom on edge as the confused teen “Ansiedad” in “Girl In Progress,” for Lionsgate Films. 8. Amandla Steinberg (age 13), Amandla gained massive world-wide exposure as the shy “Rue” in the mega, blockbuster “The Hunger Games,” for Lionsgate Films. 9. Jordenn Thompson (age 8), Jordenn has the distinction of being the baby of this year’s list as the youngest. She charmed the socks off audiences with her cutie-pie, innocent portrayal of Ariel in Tyler Perry’s “Good Deeds,” for Lionsgate Films. 10. Billy Unger (age 17), Billy plays “Chase,” the supper intelligent bionic teen in “Lab Rats,” for the Disney TV Channel. Congrats to you all and may your careers find continued success!

African-American Heritage of U.S. Presidents The African American heritage of United States presidents is a disputed topic relating primarily to five or six presidents of the 19th and early 20th centuries who identified as white and were commonly considered part of European-American society. The academic consensus of historians rejects most of the specific claims below that the men may have had some African ancestry, while acknowledging the long history of interracial relations in the United States. President Barack Obama had a Kenyan father and American mother of Northern European ancestry. These claims have been made by the historian William Estabrook Chancellor, amateur historian J.A. Rogers, ophthalmologist Dr. Leroy William Vaughn, and Dr. Auset BaKhufu. All but Chancellor base their theories chiefly on the work of J.A. Rogers, who self-published a pamphlet in 1965 claiming African ancestry of five presidents. Vaughn’s and BaKhufu’s books appear to have been selfBarack Obama published. Historians’ and biographers’ studies of these presidents have not supported such claims, nor have the claims above been peer-reviewed. They are generally ignored by scholars. They repeat each other’s material and are classified as “rumormongers and amateur historians.” Vaughn and BaKhufu have added little substantive research to their claims, although there has been extensive new documentation of race relations by others in the decades since Rogers published his pamphlet. Citizenship and associated claims split on two dimensions: formal legal citizenship, and full social and political citizenship. While claims of African ancestry may have created social scandal (and that varied in time and place), even in Thomas Jefferson’s time, a person of less than onequarter African ancestry could be considered legally white. Later this was changed so that a person must have one-eighth or less African ancestry to be legally white. Jefferson’s mixed-race children from his relationship with Sally Hemings, were seven-eighths white. There is ample evidence in historical records that people of mixed race could be accepted in communities, as they were documented as exercising Thomas Jefferson the rights of citizens to bear arms and vote. Social acceptance by the majority white community was often the key as to whether a person was considered white, more than details about ancestry, especially in early periods when few records were kept. In the early 20th century, southern states tried to find more ways to enforce segregation. Beginning with Tennessee in 1910, through Oklahoma in 1931, most southern states adopted the one-drop rule, and hardened racial lines so that a person of any African ancestry was to be considered black. During the same period, Florida, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, and Utah retained their old “blood fraction” statutes de jure, but amended these fractions (one-sixteenth, one-thirtysecond) to be equivalent to one-drop de facto. In recent decades, United States historians have more thoroughly explored the years of slavery and opened up discussion of race relations. They have noted the number and variety of mixed-race families that arose in colonial and antebellum United States. In award-winning research, Paul Heinegg traced the ancestry of free black families in North Carolina in the 1790 census, finding that most descended from free people of color in colonial Virginia who migrated to other areas. They were mostly descendants of unions between white women, indentured servant or free, and African men, slave, indentured or free, from years
when associations among the working class were fluid. The historian Dr. Ira Berlin praised Heinegg’s “meticulous research” in his Foreword to his work. Nell Irvin Painter examined issues of power in Southern History Across the Color Line (2002). Joshua Rothman looked closely at antebellum Virginia and numerous mixed-race families in Notorious in the Neighborhood: Sex and Families across the Color Line in Virginia, 1787-1861 (2003). In two books, the scholar Annette Gordon-Reed showed how historians had ignored evidence of Thomas Jefferson’s and Sally Hemings’ long affair and mixed-race children. In her deep research, however, she did not support claims that Jefferson was of mixed-race descent. DNA studies in 1998 showed a match between the Jefferson male line and a descendant of Eston Hemings, leading experts to conclude that Jefferson was likely the father of Hemings’ children. The Thomas Jefferson Foundation agrees that the weight of historical evidence supports this. None of the claims below has been verified by reliable sources in peer-reviewed publications. The quality of research is suggested by the claims about Thomas Jefferson. Thomas Jefferson - Vaughn and others claim his mother Jane Randolph Jefferson was of mixed-race ancestry. The academic consensus does not support such claims. In her recent analyses of historical evidence about the Hemings and Jeffersons, for example, the scholar Annette GordonReed makes no claim of African descent in the Randolph family. The Thomas Jefferson Foundation, which owns and operates Monticello, the major public history site on Jefferson, characterizes Jefferson’s parents this way: “His father Peter Jefferson was a successful planter and surveyor and his mother Jane Randolph a member of one of Virginia’s most distinguished families.” They describe the quote in The Johnny Cake Papers as one frequently repeated, but it is attributed in written sources to the 1800 rather than the 1796 election campaign and clearly is one made by political opponents. The Johnny Cake Papers were a collection of folk tales published in 1879, not 1867, and only one tale commented on Jefferson. The Foundation states: Dixon Wecter, in his essay “Thomas Jefferson, The Gentle Radical,” discusses various portrayals of Jefferson by his political enemies, and mentions that “the Jonnycake [sic] Papers later burlesqued such caricatures...” Andrew Jackson has been listed by Vaughn.[ The scholars are agreed he had no black ancestors.[ Abraham Lincoln’s mother Nancy Hanks was claimed to have African descent. No reliable historians have supported this. Warren G. Harding was said to have African ancestry by his political opponent, a controversial and racist historian William Estabrook Chancellor. “When asked directly about Chancellor’s account, Harding did not make any effort to deny that he may have had an African-American ancestor. He said he did not know and demonstrated that it was not a significant issue. According to the family tree Chancellor created, Harding was the

great-grandson of a black woman.” Chancellor said Harding’s father was a mulatto. “Many biographers have dismissed the rumors of Harding’s mixed-race family as little more than a political scandal and Chancellor himself as a Democratic mudslinger and racist ideologue.” According to Chancellor, Harding got his only academic degree from Iberia College, which had been “founded to educate fugitive slaves.” The college was founded by abolitionist supporters in the Presbyterian Church in Ohio for students of both genders and all races. In this, it was similar to Oberlin College, which also accepted both genders and all races. Calvin Coolidge’s mother Victoria Moor was claimed to be of Warren G. Harding a mixed-race family in Vermont. Vaughn noted that her surname was derived from “Moor”, the European term for black (it also referred to swarthy). He did not bother to note that the first meaning of her surname is the landscape feature of moor or bog. People’s surnames were often based on such landscape features when surnames became generally adopted in 14th century England. Moor/Moore is a common name in England, Scotland, and Ireland. Coolidge said his mother had some Native American ancestry. Dwight D. Eisenhower’s father was said to be of mixed blood from Africa, and his mother was mulatto. Historians and biographers of Eisenhower had documented his parents’ German, Swiss and English ancestry and long history in this country. His immigrant ancestors settled in Pennsylvania in 1741 and after, and migrated west to Kansas.

Our pursuit of holiness is given direction by the commandments of Jesus in Matthew 22:37-40. Given that you and I are imperfect creatures who sin by thought, word and deed, God’s command for holiness is indeed a tall order. However, if we are able to display ambition in our pursuit of excellence in fields like sports, law, medicine, education, food service, business and law enforcement, then, as a Christian community, we should also
be ambitious in our pursuit of God’s insistence on holiness. We are and will always be imperfect; however, we should always strive to reach this ideal of holiness. We are now in the season of Lent. In less than forty days we will celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ. The season of Lent provides Christians throughout the world with an opportunity to consecrate themselves in preparation for Easter. Lent is a time in which we fast, pray and reflect on the suffering, service and sacrifice of Jesus the Christ. I continue to remain inspired by the symbols and rituals of Lent (e.g., the smearing of the ashes in the

Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us, Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us; Facing the rising sun of our new day begun, Let us march on till victory is won. Stony the road we trod, bitter the chastening rod, Felt in the days when hope unborn had died; Yet with a steady beat, have not our weary feet, Come to the place for which our fathers sighed? We have come over a way that with tears has been watered, We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered; Out from the gloomy past, till now we stand at last Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast. God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, Thou Who hast brought us thus far on the way; Thou Who hast by Thy might, led us into the light, Keep us forever in the path, we pray.

Emancipation Proclamation Visits Tennessee Museum
Continued From Last Week
Abolitionists had long been urging Lincoln to free all slaves. In the summer of 1862, Republican editor Horace Greeley of the highly influential New York Tribune wrote a famous editorial entitled “The Prayer of Twenty Millions” demanding a more aggressive attack on the Confederacy and faster emancipation of the slaves: “On the face of this wide earth, Mr. President, there is not one... intelligent champion of the Union cause
who does not feel... that the rebellion, if crushed tomorrow, would be renewed if slavery were left in full vigor... and that every hour of deference to slavery is an hour of added and deepened peril to the Union.” Lincoln responded in his Letter To Horace Greeley from August 22, 1862, in terms of the limits imposed by his duty as president to save the Union: If there be those who would not save the Union, unless they could at the same

time save slavery, I do not agree with them. If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time destroy slavery, I do not agree with them. My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union. . . . I have here stated my purpose according to my view of official duty; and I intend no modification of my oft-expressed personal wish that all men everywhere could be free. Harold Holzer wrote in this context about Lincoln’s letter: “Unknown to Greeley, Lincoln composed this after he had already drafted a preliminary Emancipation Proclamation, which he had determined to issue after the next Union military victory. Therefore, this letter, was in truth, an attempt to position the impending announcement in terms of saving the Union, not freeing slaves as a humanitarian gesture. It was one of Lincoln’s most skillful public relations efforts, even if it has cast longstanding doubt on his sincerity as a liberator.” Historian Richard Striner argues that “for years” Lincoln’s letter has been misread as “Lincoln only wanted to save the Union.” However, within the context of Lincoln’s entire career and pronouncements on slavery this interpretation is wrong, according to Striner. Rather, Lincoln was softening the strong Northern white supremacist opposition to his imminent emancipation by tying it to the cause of the Union. This opposition would fight for the Union but not to end slavery, however Lincoln gave them the means and motivation to do both, at the same time. The urging to free all slaves, or not free them at all, was presented to Lincoln in public and private. [vague] A mass rally in Chicago on September 7, 1862, demanded an immediate and universal emancipation of slaves. A delegation headed by William W. Patton met the President at the White House on September 13. Lincoln had declared in
peacetime that he had no constitutional authority to free the slaves. Even used as a war power, emancipation was a risky political act. Public opinion as a whole was against it. There would be strong opposition among Copperhead Democrats and an uncertain reaction from loyal border states. Delaware and Maryland already had a high percentage of free blacks: 91.2% and 49.7%, respectively, in 1860. Lincoln first discussed the proclamation with his cabinet in July 1862. He believed he needed a Union victory on the battlefield so his decision would appear positive and strong. The Battle of Antietam, in which Union troops turned back a Confederate invasion of Maryland, gave him such an opportunity. On September 22, 1862, five days after Antietam, Lincoln called his cabinet into session and issued the Preliminary Proclamation. According to Civil War historian James M. McPherson, Lincoln told Cabinet members that he had made a covenant with God, that if the Union drove the Confederacy out of Maryland, he would issue the Emancipation Proclamation. Lincoln had first shown an early draft of the proclamation to Vice President Hannibal Hamlin, an ardent abolitionist, who was more often kept in the dark on presidential decisions. The final proclamation was issued January 1, 1863. Although implicitly granted authority by Congress, Lincoln used his powers as Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy, “as a necessary war measure” as the basis of the proclamation, rather than the equivalent of a statute enacted by Congress or a constitutional amendment. Some days after issuing the final Proclamation, Lincoln wrote to Major General John McClernand: “After the commencement of hostilities I struggled nearly a year and a half to get along without touching the “institution”; and when finally I conditionally determined to touch it, I gave a hundred days fair notice of my purpose, to all the States and people, within which time they could have turned it wholly aside, by simply again becoming good citizens of the United States. They chose to disregard it, and I made the peremptory proclamation on what appeared to me to be a military necessity. And being made, it must stand.”

America’s lies across Texas called to give. A national largest corporations became engaged. Small fundraising movement was born. The telethon gained national exposure churches, teachers, sororities and fraternities became engaged. Donors and volunteers in 1974 with hosts Nancy Wilson and Cliffrom across the country organized to support ton Davis. Ron Bookman secured the talent;
television and radio stations broadcast in select markets at no charge. This caught the attention of Anheuser-Busch and the rest is history. Lou Rawls, as spokesman for Anheuser-Busch, became the iconic host of the telethon. American Airlines, Kellogg, General Motors soon joined as sponsors and underwriters. The telethon became a great recruiting tool for UNCF colleges. It also increased alumni pride and giving. It sent a message to corporations and foundations: UNCF colleges are important to African Americans and America. With an ear to the ground for the drumbeat of the community, these major funders joined with grassroots America to give – and give generously – to what became the “charity of choice” for African Americans. UNCF shed its image as an organization that appealed to the elite: it had launched a “people’s campaign” engaging donors and volunteers from all walks of life. The telethon did what hadn’t been done before. It created a culture of fundraising throughout the black community that also
engaged Hispanics, American Indians and Whites. It made UNCF a household word, and the phrase “A Mind is a Terrible Thing to Waste” one of America’s most iconic slogans. Corporations participated in causemarketing focused on the black consumer. African Americans became the majority of UNCF donors, “documenting” their widespread support for the organization. The telethon provided an opportunity for all segments of the community to participate and be publicly recognized for their contributions. It provided economic opportunities for African American advertising agencies, marketing executives, producers, writers and small businesses. Most importantly it demonstrated the power of diverse volunteer-led fundraising. Our take: Think big, start small. © Mel and Pearl Shaw, Mel and Pearl Shaw are the authors of “Prerequisites for Fundraising Success.” They provide fundraising counsel to nonprofits.

You are cordially invited to watch a special webcast BLACK FAMILIES FIVE DECADES AFTER THE MOYNIHAN REPORT Friday, February 22, 2013 • 10:00 a.m.-12:30 p.m. ET
The family, “battered and harassed by discrimination,” is “the fundamental source of the weakness of the Negro community,” declared the landmark 1965 analysis, The Negro Family: The Case for National Action. Penned by Assistant Secretary of Labor Daniel Patrick Moynihan (later a senator from New York), the report is considered by many to be the most poignant collection of statistical analysis and social commentary in modern times -- not because of what it revealed, but because of how close it has come to the truth. Do the truths of five decades ago still hold today? Have the daunting statistics of the 1960s improved or worsened? Over the decades have the unsettling circumstances of black families become part of the white and Hispanic experiences? What must fathers and others do to improve family well-being? And what policy pathways await national action? Participants: Gregory Acs, director, Income and Benefits Policy Center, Urban Institute; Michelle Alexander, author, The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness; Kenneth Braswell, executive director, Fathers Incorporated; Ronald Mincy, director, Center for Research on Fathers, Children and Family Well-Being, Columbia University; Helen Mitchell, director, strategic planning & policy development, Office of U.S. Representative Danny Davis; Janks Morton, producer, What Black Men Think; Jeffrey Shears, director, Social Work Research Consortium, Department of Social Work, University of North Carolina—Charlotte, Margaret Simms, director, Low-Income Working Families project, Urban Institute This forum, a partnership of the Urban Institute and Fathers Incorporated, is funded by the Open Society Foundations’ Campaign for Black Male Achievement.

CABLE Hosted Native Joy Smith, Spoke of Desegregation of Schools NASHVILLE, TN — As 6-year-old, Joy Smith, walked up the steps at Emma Clemons School on 12th Avenue South and into the building where she was to begin her education. No one paid much notice, then, as six-year-old Joy Smith, holding the hand of her father, Kelly Miller Smith — pastor of one of Nashville’s most historic black churches, First Baptist Capitol Hill, and president of the local NAACP chapter — walked up the steps at Clemons and into the venerable building where she was to receive the first six years of her education. There were no incidents. At home that evening, Joy’s father, after fending off several anonymous and threatening calls, warily answered one more and, to his surprise, heard a familiar voice: “Reverend Smith, this is Ben West. I just wanted to be sure that you and your family are all right.” Holding the hand of her father Rev. Kelly Miller Smith Sr. — pastor of one of Nashville’s historic black churches, First Baptist Capitol Hill, and local Civil Rights activist — she was one of four black first graders to participate in the desegregation of the school in September 1957. It was the same year as the Little Rock nine, and it began Smith’s personal journey through the Civil Rights movement, during which she would meet Martin Luther King, Jr. at age 11 and Rosa Parks at 17 years old. Smith recounted her story along with songs and other tales of the movement at CABLE’s monthly luncheon on Wednesday, Feb. 13, at at Gaylord

As a storyteller she has performed in museums, schools and libraries in the New York City area. She also has been a featured teller at various festivals and conferences, including the Clearwater Festival and the Mohegan Festival in New York state. As an actress, Smith has performed on stage, film and television. Currently, she works as a teaching artist in the New York City public schools in several arts disciplines, including visual art, movement, music, storytelling and theater.

After Nearly a Decade, Jamaicaway Continues to Offer Health Conscious Cuisine
Ouida and David Bradshaw before the opening rush in their kitchen at their Jamaicaway Restaurant
Freshly prepared food waiting for the lunch crowd to swarm!
By Jason Luntz
Husband and wife owners of Jamaicaway Restaurant and Catering, David and Ouida Bradshaw, have treated Nashvillians to their health conscious Jamaican cuisine for nearly 10 years. The menu is a selection of authentic Jamaican food with a twist. Majority of
the meats are baked, nothing is cooked with pork, and there is assortment of vegetable entrees available. Originally both from the Island of Jamaica, the couple have been in Nashville since 1999. Initially they provided a catering service, but an overwhelming need from their customers lead to the opening of a location in December
of 2003. They choose the Farmers Market, at 900 Rose L Parks Blvd, and at first settled in a small corner of the market’s food court. Within five years they expanded to a larger section of the market, now with their own glass partition that separates their restaurant from the public dining area.
Freshly prepared food waiting for the lunch crowd to swarm!
In 2010 Jamaicaway was featured on The Food Network’s Diners, DriveIns and Dives. Restaurants cannot call The Food Network and get on their programs, David Bradshaw clarified. “The audience actually lets them know what restaurants they really like and then the network contacts you,” said Bradshaw. “We were surprised to find out so many people in Nashville loved our cooking.” This popularity means that another expansion is over due. “The challenge we have is our kitchen is small, so it makes the simple things a big effort,” explained Bradshaw. “We have to go with what we can do at the moment, but we would love to get a nicer space that we can fill out a little better.” The business continues as a family affair, with the Bradshaw’s two sons often working along their parents. The owners of Jamaicaway are very conscientious about the quality of food they serve. The restaurant uses local ingredients as often as they can. All of the meats served are steroid and hormone free. The menu also offers a large variety of vegetarian entrees including soy products, gluten products, and tofu dishes. Catering services are also available for business and personal events.

foul line, getting 26 points and keeping the East close in the fourth quarter. Anthony also had 12 rebounds. The Miami Heat’s Lebron James scored 19, but made only seven of 18 from the floor. The Lakers’ Kobe Bryant even blocked two of his shots late in the fourth quarter. “I think we played really good defense at the end of the game as a team,” Durant told the Associated Press. “Kobe was really going with the ball. It’s tough to stop LeBron, but he did his best. He was able to blocks a few of his shots. But CP did a really good job of keeping us in the game.” “You just want to play fast,” Paul added. “I like to throw the lob. I like to see guys hit 3s. When we’re out on the court with all that firepower, why wouldn’t you want to make passes? You’ve got KD filling one of the lanes, you’ve got Blake, Kobe on the wing. There’s nothing like it.” Some others didn’t have quite as good a time, The Celtics’ Kevin Garnett took only two shots and missed them both, going scoreless. The Heat’s Chris Bosh missed six of nine shots, and was also victimized twice in the second quarter on drives by Paul and the Spurs’ Tony Parker. Fellow Spur Tim Duncan didn’t play many minutes either, missing three of four shots and scoring only two points. Portland’s Lionel Aldridge also missed his only two shots. But there were new names
to the competition who made quite an impact. Cleveland’s Kyrie Irving was six of 11 for 15 points, and made half his six three-point attempts. The Bulls’ tandem of Luol Deng and Joakim Noah combined for 18 points during their time on the court. Former teammates Russell Westbrook and James Harden were temporarily reunited during the fourth quarter and they shot a combined 13 of 26 and added 29 points for the Western Conference. Harden, traded to the Houston Rockets before the season began, was a busy man during the week serving as the face of the host franchise. TNT showed the game, which attracted a crowd of more than 16,000 in Houston, though it wasn’t a complete sellout. But with plenty of entertainment from the likes of Alicia Keys and NeYo among others, and loads of stars in the audience, the event was definitely a major attraction. It was also a reminder to the league that with a healthy Paul and Griffin, the Cliappers are a legitimate title threat in the West right alongside the Spurs, Oklahoma City and even the Memphis Grizzlies (whose representative Zach Randolph scored six points and made half of his shots from the floor during a short but productive stint). The NBA resumed action Tuesday with a full slate of games. Roughly 30 games remain in the regular season.

Serena Williams Regains Top Spot By Ron Wynn
Despite losing the Qatar Open title Sunday to Victoria Azarenka, Serena Williams has regained the world’s number one spot among women tennis players. Williams achieved the honor when she reached the semifinals of the event. No matter what happened after that point, she would retain the crown. Though Williams wouldn’t say this afterward, it seemed little doubt that the toll taken by her long climb back to number one had an impact on her play in the final. After winning the second set 6-2 to even the match, Williams was defeated 6-3 in the third and climatic set. She’d lost the first 7-6 (8-6 in the tiebreaker), and it was only her second loss to Azarenka in 13 attempts. “I just wanted to fight and give it my best, give it every opportunity,” Azarenka told the Associated Press. “I started at love-30 down and it was ‘you have to keep it together and pull it around. Serena was on a roll. I knew she would bring her A game, and I was really glad I could stay tough and focused.” “I can’t say that I’m depressed like

I am whenever I lose,” Williams said. “I’m definitely not happy, but I’m number one. It was such a long journey, and after winning Wimbledon and the US Open and the (season-ending) Championships, I thought, I just don’t think I can win anymore. I don’t know what it takes to be number one. So it was awesome to come here and achieve that goal.” One thing that has been evident in the few matches Williams has lost during this stretch run to the top is that in many cases unforced errors are critical parts of those defeats. It was evident early in her match against Azarenka that Williams was off her game a bit. She nearly lost her first service game, but avoided a pair of break points. Then she dropped her second service game with a pair of double faults and another pair of unforced errors. Azarenka got on a good run, at one point scoring 12 straight points. Williams eventually rallied to force a tie-breaker, but was unable to sustain enough momentum to win the set. When she came back to roll strongly in the second, many felt that she was back in the driver’s seat. But she once
On this day in 1993, Salt Lake City temporarily became the nation’s pro basketball center. The 43rd annual NBA All-Star Game was held there, and Utah Jazz superstars Karl Malone and John Stockton were voted co-Most Valuable Players as the Western Conference won a thrilling 135-132 overtime game. Malone had 28 points, making 11 of 17 from the floor and grabbed 10 rebounds. Stockton only scored nine points, but he had 15 assists, including several in overtime. The game was also the first All-Star appearance by a young center who would go on to establish himself as one of the league’s greats. His name was Shaquille O’Neal. In addition, it was aired on NBC, as the NBA had not yet inked its huge pact with cable stations TNT and ESPN that have effectively placed roughly 2/3 of its inventory on cable, but also dramatically increased its overall profile and amount of regular season games available to consumers. NBA TV also had not yet been created.
Serena Williams made history last week at the Qatar Open. Though she didn’t win the title, by reaching the semifinals she achieved her goal of regaining the number one spot in the world among women players. She’s now at 31 the oldest woman to ever be ranked number one in the Open era.
again had problems with her serve and control in the third, and this time couldn’t pull off a big comeback after falling behind 3-0 in the final set. Still, Williams has achieved something at 31 that no other women in the Open era can match, regaining the number one title. “It’s been great,” Williams commented in assessing her week. “It was a good match overall. Victoria played really well, and did a great job.”
BY RON WYNN Sports Legends Should Never Be Forgotten Even those who pride themselves on knowing athletic history might not be familiar with Edwin B. Henderson, Fritz Pollard or Marion Motley. But they are three individuals who were pioneers in basketball and football circles, just as important contributors to those games as Jackie Robinson was to baseball or Jack Johnson to boxing. Henderson was finally recognized by the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, who announced last week he had been elected to the Hall thanks to the Early African American Pioneers Committee. Known as the “Grandfather of Black Basketball,” Henderson learned the game while at Harvard University in 1904, where he was attending a summer physical training class for gym teacher. His efforts introduced the sport to Black students in Washington D.C. where he was based. He later helped start the Interscholastic Athletic Association (I.S.A.A.) the nation’s first Black athletic conference. Henderson’s 1909 Twelfth Street Colored YMCA team was undefeated and won the 1909-10 Black National title. He had another title team with the 1910-11 12th Streeters who won the Colored Basketball World’s Championship. Henderson coedited the Spaldiing Official Handbook for the I.S.A.A. that was published from 1910-1913. Pollard and Motley toiled in the NFL long before it became America’s premier sports entity. Pollard, the first Black named to the Walter Camp All-America team in 1916, led the Akron Pros to the APFA (later the NFL) title in 1920. He became co-head coach in 1921, making him the first Black head coach of a professional football team. He later served in the same capacity for the Milwaukee Badgers. Pollard was one of nine Black players banned from the NFL at the end of the 1926 season, as the league instituted a color ban that lasted until the late ‘40s. Pollard was later active barnstorming with all-Black pro teams, among them the Chicago Black Hawks in 1928 and the Harlem Brown Bombers in the 1930s. Fritz Pollard was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2005. The Fritz Pollard Alliance, a group promoting the hiring of Black and minority football coaches, was named for him. Marion Motley was a leading pass blocker and fullback for the Cleveland Browns in both the All-America Football Conference (AAFC) and NFL. His career average of 5.7 yards per carry is still tops among all running backs, and he was among the first Blacks to play in the modern NFL in the late ‘40s and early ‘50s. Though elected to the Hall of Fame in 1968, Motley’s dream of coaching in the NFL was never recognized. Every team he approached after his retirement in 1955 turned him down. Motley questioned whether teams were ready to hire a Black coach. Unfortunately, that question can still be asked today. Despite the efforts of the Pollard alliance,, not a single Black coach was hired by a pro team during this season’s slew of openings. That’s hardly what Pollard or Motley, to say nothing of Henderson, would consider progress.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL
Vanderbilt and UT Both Savor Wins
By Ron Wynn
It’s been rare this season that Tennessee and Vanderbilt have both won on the same day, but that was the case Saturday as each achieved home court victories. Tennessee stunned Kentucky 88-58, dealing them their worse defeat in UT/ Kentucky basketball history. Vanderbilt didn’t blow a second half lead at home this time, defeating the Texas A&M Aggies 63-56. The Wildcats were playing their first game since losing supreme shot blocker Nerlens Noel to a season-ending knee injury. But they still had another sevenfoot center Willie Cauley-Stein in his place. Unfortunately height was the only thing Cauley-Stein possessed. Quickness, defensive instincts or offensive prowess weren’t part of his game on this occasion. Though UT’s big man Jarnell Stokes didn’t have one of his premier games, Stokes got the entire Kentucky front line in foul trouble with his athletic ability. He ended with nine points and nine rebounds, snapping a streak of six straight double-double games. Cauley-Stein was nearly invisible, getting just two points and a pair of rebounds while personally accounting for four turnovers. Stokes also helped UT outrebound Kentucky 39-21, and hold them to only 35.8 percent shooting from the floor. Tennessee played a flawless first half, and were ahead 50-26 at halftime. Considering that on several occasions Tennessee hasn’t scored 50 in an entire game, the ease with which they dissected the Wildcats was stunning. Trae Golden had another superb game. Since returning to the starting lineup, Golden has been virtually unstoppable, particularly on end-to-end
and 17 points overall, making six of nine from the floor. His final three gave the Commodores a 43-32 second half lead. Odom had 19 points, 14 in the second half. He also led Vanderbilt with seven rebounds. Vanderbilt improved its conference mark to 4-8 (10-14 overall). They faced Kentucky Wednesday night. The 7 p.m. game was on WUXP-30. The Lady Vols bowled over a depleted Vanderbilt squad 83-64 Sunday in Knoxville. Meighan Simmons scored 17 points, one of five Tennessee players in double figures.

They are 11-1 in the SEC, and forged ahead by a half game of Texas AM (10-1 SEC, 20-5 overall) and one game in front of UK (10-2 SEC, 22-3 overall). Those two teams met Monday.

Players Union Selects Local Man to Lead National Initiative Staff Writer
The founder of Nashville-based community youth outreach group Playmakers, will be making big plays on the national stage for the Arena Football League’s Players Union. Nashville resident Dantriel McWilliams has been tapped to take on the newly-created position as the union’s director of community development and outreach. The union is an advocacy organization for the athletes that play in the AFL. McWilliams will be responsible for identifying and setting up various community service opportunities for the players to participate in. The focus will be on working with children. “Whenever we walk away from each city, I want the players to have a positive impact. It’s one thing to spend money and sponsor things with dollars, but it means a lot to give your time and the kids look forward to that. A lot of them desire to be professional athletes. That will be a great and awesome connection for them to hear the guy’s stories and to hear where they are,” McWilliams said. The AFL’s Nashville Kats folded in 2007 after two years in the league. Despite not having a local team to latch on to, McWilliams will still be expected to reach out across the nation, setting up opportunities for the union’s nearly 3,000 members that represent the AFL’s 14 teams. James Baron, executive president of the Players Union, says he’s very confident that McWilliams will get the job done. “There’s a whole host of things Dantriel has proposed in regards to gun violence and after school programs and mentorship programs and initiatives. There are all kinds of things that he has proposed that I think that our members will be willing to participate in,” said Baron. The former Boys & Girls Club director is less than two weeks into his new post with the AFLPU, and already has presented a hefty agenda to launch. He introduced the program T.E.A.M.

U.P. with the Community. ‘T.E.A.M. U.P.’ stands for Tackling Education and Mentoring Uniting Players with the Community. The program will incorporate after school mentoring, tutoring, a fitness program and an anti-gun violence program. “This is not just for the community. This is player’s development. They need development as well. They do get paid to play the sport. If their money is right and they get in the community, they can be very successful. It’s a great opportunity to do something new,” added McWilliams. This new community initiative will also help increase the players’ marketability. The outreach effort is rolling out just as the union is coming off the heels of a collective bargaining agreement with the AFL that went in their favor. “Now it’s time. We’ve got our situation straight. Now, how can we go out and make a difference in the community? That shows a level of commitment that we have and lets people know about the league,” said Baron.

Southern Diet Could Raise Your Risk of Stroke HONOLULU, HI — Eating Southernstyle foods may be linked to a higher risk of stroke, according to research presented at the American Stroke Association’s International Stroke Conference 2013. In the first large-scale study on the relationship between Southern foods and stroke, researchers characterized a Southern diet by a high intake of foods such as fried chicken, fried fish, fried potatoes, bacon, ham, liver and gizzards, and sugary drinks such as sweet tea. In addition to being high in fat, fried foods tend to be heavily salted. “We’ve got three major factors working

together in the Southern-style diet to raise risks of cardiovascular disease: fatty foods are high in cholesterol, sugary drinks are linked to diabetes and salty foods lead to high blood pressure,” said Suzanne Judd, Ph.D., M.P.H., lead researcher and a nutritional epidemiologist at the University of Alabama Birmingham’s biostatistics department. Previous research has shown that Southerners are about 20 percent more likely to have a stroke than the rest of Americans. Comparing the dietary habits of more than 20,000 black and white adults, researchers found: Stroke frequency was directly proportional to how much Southern food participants ate. People who ate Southern foods about six times a week had a 41 percent higher stroke risk compared to those who ate it about once a month. Eating a Southern diet accounted for 63 percent of the higher risk of stroke among African-Americans above that of their white counterparts. Those whose diets were highest in fruits, vegetables, legumes and whole grains (eaten about five times a week) had a 29 percent lower stroke risk than those whose diets were the lowest in these foods (eaten about three times a week). The study raises red flags for African-Americans who are five times more likely to eat Southern foods than whites, Judd said. And firsttime stroke risk among blacks is almost double that of whites, according to American Stroke Association statistics. Participants from 48 states answered telephone questionnaires about what foods they eat as part of the ongoing Rea-
sons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) Study (begun in 2003). Participants were evenly divided between men and women, and the minimum age was 45. Each person underwent an in-person medical assessment including height, weight and blood pressure measurements; an electrocardiogram; and a blood test. Every six months after, participants answered followup telephone questions about their stroke incidence, sleep habits and overall health. Researchers designed a mathematical model to group foods commonly eaten together into 56 different categories. Each person’s eating habits were scored based on the categories. The scores were further analyzed in relation to how often they had a stroke. About two-thirds of the participants who ate the most Southern-style foods lived
in the southeastern United States. But, no matter where they live, people eating a lot of Southern foods should be more aware of their risks of stroke, Judd said. Healthcare providers should educate patients about nutrition earlier, and ask patients about what they’re eating, how much and how often, she said.
