Developer has plans for First and Lake Starbucks, restaurants among potential tenants Xsite Real Estate could lure

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

Could a Starbucks possibly be headed to Maywood?

Representatives with a Burr Ridge-based commercial real estate brokerage say that the idea of the global coffee behemoth landing another outpost in the west suburb isn’t all that far-fetched.

During a Dec. 19 regular meeting of the Maywood Board of Trustees, William Paul, the president of Xsite Real Estate, presented a plan to the board that would entail redeveloping three parcels of land on First and Lake.

Paul said that the development prospects could range from retailers and restaurants to apartments — although the type of redevelopment project would depend on the parcel, one of which includes the historically significant Maywood Soldiers’ Widows Home, a local landmark currently owned by the village.

Rev. Michael Wright wants to make Sundays and society less segregated

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

When hundreds of far-right protestors, including young white supremacists and neo-Nazis armed with weapons and tiki torches, took to the streets of

Charlottesville, Virginia in August, Yevette Killingsworth thought about her son, who was living in Charlottesville at the time.

“He said it was scary for people to even be out at that time — and this is 2017,” Killingsworth recalled during a Dec. 16

interview at Cornerstone Anglican ChurchTrue Freedom Ministry, 171 N. Cuyler Ave., in Oak Park.

The protests had a more indirect effect on the Rev. Michael Wright, a Bellwood See MICHAEL WRIGHT on page 6

Maywood swears in first female cop in nearly a decade

Maywood Fire Chief Craig Bronaugh wants to wish everyone a Happy New Year! But it can’t be happy without making sure you’re safe. Here are some fire tips for keeping warm, and staying safe, during this winter.

According to the U.S. Fire Administration, “People are at greater risk in the winter season when they cook holiday meals, display decorations, and may use unsafe heat sources.

You can help prevent winter weather-related home fires in your community with these safety tips, social media messages, public service announcements, and publications.”

During a Dec. 19 regular board meeting, members of the village’s Board of Police and Fire Commission swore in Officer Lizet Ochoa, who Maywood Police Chief Valdimir Talley said is the first female officer hired in the department “in approximately eight years.”

Commissioners Gloria Clay and Readith Esther, were on hand to swear Ochoa in during the meeting. “[Officer Ochoa] is also bilingual,” Talley said, adding that Ochoa had already been attending community events before her Dec. 19 swearing-in, including a meeting about public safety earlier this month.

“Two Sundays ago, she along with [Maywood Trustee Antonio] Sanchez, addressed a large citizen base of our Latin community who had many concerns about public safety,” Talley said.

“I’m very proud of Ochoa,” he added. “She passed her standards training on the first try, which always makes me very happy.”

Talley said that he and Clay were in attendance at Ochoa’s graduation from the police academy.

“It was an honor,” said Clay, referencing her attendance at the ceremony. Clay said it was the second graduation she attended.

A few alarming stats (via the Fire Administration): • 890 people die in winter home fires each year.

• $2 billion in property loss occurs each year from winter home fires.

• Winter home fires account for only 8 percent of the total number of fires in the U.S., but result in 30 percent of all fire deaths.

• Cooking is the leading cause of all winter home fires.

• A heat source too close to combustibles is the leading factor contributing to the start of a winter home fire (15 percent).

• 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. is the most common time for winter home fires.

A few safety tips (courtesy the Fire Administration): • Keep snow and ice three feet away from fire hydrants • Keep wood stove doors closed • Make sure yourt space heater has an automatic shutoff • Always use a metal or heat-tempered glass screen when using fireplace • Never leave a burning candle alone For more safety tips, visit: https://www.usfa.fema.gov/.

1ST AND LAKE Big plans from page 1 parcels are often referred to as the Soldiers Block.

Paul said that he and his collaborators would renovate the Soldiers Home while maintaining its distinctive Georgian Revival architecture. Echoing the recommendations of other architects and planners, Paul said that the building is most suitable for use as medical or office space.

He noted that an addition that was built onto the back of the original Soldiers Home could possibly be removed to make way for additional parking space.

The village-owned parcel adjacent the Soldiers Home, at the northwest corner of First and Lake, could accommodate a 10,000to 12,000-square-foot strip mall built in the all-brick, Georgian Revival architectural style of the Soldiers Home to lend aesthetic symmetry to the area.

He said that he and his co-developers would prioritize a mix of prospective tenants that would bring in revenue from both property taxes and sales taxes, such as retailers and restaurants — possibly a Starbucks.

Paul noted that while some businesses not known for generating high sales taxes, such as payday lenders, would be ruled out as possible tenants for the strip mall site; landing a bank as a potential tenant would not be ruled out.

Paul said that it is “hard to say what [redevelopment] direction” the parcel on

Village Free Press | January 3, 2018 the northeast corner of First and Lake, behind Burger King, would take. He added that the land could attract another fast food restaurant, but that the development of the northeast corner, in relation to the Soldiers Home and adjacent northwest corner lot, is “down the road.”

“We want to be consistent with what your economic goals are for the property,” Paul told village officials on Dec. 19. “We’re looking to bring in retailers and services that meet the needs of the people in Maywood [and to] create a viable, visually appealing project that will enhance the commercial and cultural fabric of the community.”

Paul said that if the village board approves of his proposal, his company would start marketing the parcels immediately afterward, starting with the vacant northwest corner lot.

According to a Dec. 19 memo drafted

by Angela Smith, Maywood’s business development coordinator, and David Myers, the assistant village manager, returning the village-owned northwest corner parcels of land to the rolls would result in an estimated $125,000 in new property tax revenue and an as yet unknown amount of sales tax revenue.

Paul said that new construction for the area could run about 16 weeks — “from breaking ground to delivering tenants.”

Once construction is finished, he said, it typically takes new tenants at least four months to move in before opening for business. He explained that projects could start sometime in 2018.

If the proposal is approved, Paul said that a limited liability ownership entity would be formed that would include him, two other

Xsite partners and Charles H. Walsh, Jr., a partner of Walsh Partners, a real estate and development company based in Elmhurst.

The project team for the proposed redevelopment of the Soldiers Block would include contractors that the developers have already identified — ranging from an architect to a civil engineer and general contractor.

While Paul is the sole owner of Xsite, which he founded in 1998, he is a 50 percent partner of Galena Development LLC, which would be the lead developer on the project team for Soldiers Block.

With Galena, Paul said, he has developed at least eight mall shopping centers across Illinois, most of them anchored by Walmart Supercenters, in places like Dixon, Robinson and Rochelle. The developments range from 7,000 to over 50,000 square feet, Paul said.

The Xsite proposal is just the latest in a string of redevelopment proposals for First and Lake that have been presented before the village board over the years.

In 2013, InSite Real Estate Development offered to purchase the empty lot on the northwest corner of First and Lake for the appraised value, at the time, of $450,000.

InSite’s proposal had entailed turning the site into space that would house Proviso Community Bank and several retail establishments. A representative for InSite said at the time that national chains such as Starbucks and Subway had expressed interest in the location.

The proposal, however, never materialized after the village board failed to marshal the five-vote supermajority among trustees that was required to vacate an alley near the land

targeted for development. The alley vacation was necessary in order for the project to be completed, Maywood attorney Michael Jurusik said at the time.

More recently, Tom Cronin, the owner of Good Earth Greenhouse in River Forest, which housed a garden center and healthconscious juice bar, approached the village board last November looking to relocate to the northwest corner of First and Lake St. But board members rebuffed Cronin’s offer, explaining that his asking price for the land wasn’t high enough. It isn’t known how much Cronin offered to pay for the property.

At the Dec. 19 meeting, board members seemed to receive the Xsite proposal more warmly than those previous proposals.

“I was thoroughly impressed with the details in the presentation and your willingness to incorporate Maywood’s rich history in it as well,” said Maywood Trustee Isiah Brandon.

Smith said that if the board considers entertaining the Xsite proposal, village staff would visit different projects that the developer has worked on in the past and vet the company’s references.

She added, though, that “there are many steps until we can get a finalized redevelopment agreement,” which is a document approved by the board that would direct the village attorney and staff to work with the developer to “hash out proposed uses, building design” and other details.

The board was scheduled to hear a final presentation on the proposal at its next regular meeting on Jan. 2, 2018.

Mit development renderings

As reported by this publication last week, a domestic shipping company that is currently headquartered in Broadview, and that has operations in four states, is looking to purchase a village-owned property in Maywood in order to build a domestic transportation facility.

The company, Mit Express, wants to purchase 1001 W. St. Charles Rd., from the village and build a 5,000-square-foot facility to repair and warehouse trucks and an additional 13,000-square-foot, two-story office building.

The village moved to executive session on Dec. 19 to discuss a letter of intent related to the possible purchase of the land, the appraised value of which was not disclosed. The board was expected to hear a final presentation on the proposal at its next board meeting on Jan. 2.

The renderings were not published last week.

Maywood preps for $2M in alley, street repairs Construction is scheduled to start in May

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

During a Dec. 19 regular meeting, the Maywood Board of Trustees unanimously approved agreements with Edwin Hancock Engineering for professional engineering services on a series of alley and street improvements scheduled to take place in 2018.

The village paid Hancock a $49,200 preliminary & design engineering fee for street improvement projects on 20th Avenue, from Madison Street and Washington Boulevard, and Warren Street, from 19th Avenue and 17th Avenue.

The 20th Avenue project includes repaving approximately 1,200 feet of roadway, in addition to the removal of deteriorating curb and gutter, the replacement of deteriorated sidewalk and the installation of ADA-compliant roadway crossings, among other improvements, according to a Nov. 29 memo drafted by Hancock Engineering.

The village will fund the bulk of the street improvements with $300,000 in Cook County Community Development Block Grant funding. Construction is scheduled to begin by May 21, 2018 with an anticipated completion date of Aug. 4, 2018.

Madison Street TIF improvements scheduled The village will pay Hancock a $126,400 preliminary & design

engineering fee on alley and roadway improvements within the Madison Street TIF that will cost a total of $1.7 million.

Seven alleys will receive a series of improvements, including the installation of concrete garage aprons, entry sidewalks and drainage improvements, among other upgrades.

The roadway improvements, which will include pavement reconstruction, curb and gutter replacement and the installation ADA-compliant features, among other upgrades, will take place on South Maywood Drive, from 17th to 11th Avenues, and Second Avenue, from Prairie Path to Wilcox Street.

According to a Nov. 29 memo drafted by Hancock, the “alleys and streets that are selected above were included within the ‘5 Year Madison Street TIF Capital Improvements Plan’ that was recently brought before the board.

“The general intention is to focus on improving existing stone alleys and all others deemed ‘high priority,’ in an effort to address all alleys in need of immediate improvement.”

The streets, according to the memo, were rated one, in very poor condition, based on the 2016 survey. Streets that were rated a one on a scale of one to five were considered in need of immediate repair.

Construction is scheduled to begin by May 21, 2018 and end by Sept. 8, 2018.

Maywood police chief opposes concealed carry bill Talley cites 2017 murders while explaining opposition to federal proposal

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

So far this year, there have been 10 murders in Maywood, five more than took place in 2016, according to Maywood Police Chief Valdimir Talley.

The chief said that he believes pending federal gun legislation designed to make it easier to carry concealed firearms across state lines would only exacerbate the village’s violent crime problem.

“There’s no reason a town of 24,000 people should have 10 murders,” Talley said during a phone interview earlier this week in which he addressed the fatal shooting that took place inside Maywood Grocery, 1115 Madison St., on Dec. 19.

Anthony Morris, 37, of Maywood, was killed and a woman was wounded during the shooting, which happened at around 11:03 a.m., according to police. Talley said that the woman was with her 6-year-old son at the time.

“A 6-year-old was nearly shot,” Talley said.

“Whoever did this should go to prison for a very long time.”

Talley said that detectives were canvassing the area, interviewing potential witnesses and checking surveillance footage from cameras near the crime scene. So far, he said, police have no one in custody and aren’t clear what the motive for the killing may have been.

Talley said that the proposed Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act, which recently passed the U.S. House of Representatives

by a vote of 231 to 198, could make shooting crimes like the one that happened on Dec. 19 even likelier occurrences.

Daniel Webster, the director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research, recently wrote in a column for The Hill that currently, “each state has its own rules about the legal requirements for who can carry concealed firearms and which carry permits, if any, they honor from other states.”

Under the new federally-mandated concealed carry reciprocity, Webster notes, states such as Illinois, which requires residents to obtain a concealed carry license from the State Police, “would be required to honor a permit granted by states such as Utah, which grants permits without discretion or safety tests, even to out-of-state residents.”

Webster adds that the “bill would allow residents from the 12 states where there are no requirements whatsoever for legal gun owners to carry concealed firearms to carry concealed guns in the other 38 states that normally require permits.”

Supporters of the bill argue that it protects the Constitutional rights of law-abiding gun owners across state lines.

Opponents, like Webster, say that the legislation is a gift to the National Rifle Association despite the concerns of average citizens. According to a national survey conducted by the Center for Gun Policy and Research, 83 percent of gun owners support stronger safety standards for concealed

carrying.

Talley, a member of the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE), said that he stands with the organization in opposing the proposed legislation.

According to a statement released by NOBLE on Dec. 19, if enacted into law, the legislation “has the potential to create several unintended consequences specific to vulnerable populations across this country.”

Clarence E. Cox, III, NOBLE’s national president, said that the “threats associated with the passage” of the law “are vast.”

“Allowing the concealed carry transport of firearms across state lines puts many women and young children in inherent danger as evidenced by the rise in domestic violence and partner abuse,” Cox said.

“Additionally, because concealed carry reciprocity creates a loophole that allows individuals to actively avoid criminal background checks (a typical necessity in obtaining a gun),” he added, “this legislation would potentially allow those unqualified to purchase guns an opportunity to do so.”

Now that the House has voted on the proposed law, it will go before the Senate for a vote.

The law would potentially allow “people to carry hidden guns in every state with no permit, no training, and no background checks,” Cox said.

Talley echoed Cox’s concerns and agreed with him that the law could unduly jeopardize

the safety of officers and civilians.

“It undermines local public safety decisions and puts police officers at risk,” Cox said of the proposal.

“States attorneys across the country have also deemed the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act unconstitutional,” he said.

“This legislation is wrought with greatly disturbing consequences and will only increase the amount of gun-related crimes across the country.”

According to Webster, research “shows that gun violence rates increase over time when laws regulating concealed gun carrying are substantially weakened.”

In their statement, NOBLE explained that the legislation would also be costly to state and local governments, since law enforcement departments would have to provide more training to teach officers “how to respond to out-of-state guests claiming a right to carry under the laws of distant states.

“There’s no national database of concealed carry permits like there is for driver’s licenses, so if Congress passed the legislation, states would be forced to create new and costly tools for police who encounter nonresidents with hidden guns,” according to NOBLE’s statement. “This cost would be monumental and outside of the budget of most local policing entities.”

Mary Love, Proviso’s ‘volleyball lady,’ dies at 96 Among few black pros of her era trained sister, who went to ’64 Olympics

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

Mary Eloise Love, who died at her Maywood home on Dec. 23 at the age of 96, was a rare being — an African American woman who played volleyball in the first half of the 20th Century well enough to establish herself in the sport professionally.

She also taught the sport well enough that she molded a younger sibling into an Olympian before becoming a local ambassador of the sport in Maywood and communities beyond it.

According to an article published in the Proviso Herald, which recognized her as its ‘mother of the year’ in 2004, Love “began playing volleyball in her 20s” before going on to play professionally “on courts from Hawaii to New York.”

“Everybody in Maywood and across the Proviso Township area knew her as ‘the volleyball lady,’” said Love’s daughter, Karen A. Campbell, who confirmed her mother’s death during an interview on Dec. 28.

Campbell said she didn’t know what caused Love’s death.

Born and raised in Chicago, Love was not one to easily fit into the dominant social paradigm that was placed on women at the time.

“I get bored just sitting around the house,” Love told the Herald in 2004, when her husband, John, was still alive. “I’m not a homemaker, let’s put it at that. I have to get out.”

“The expectation was you went to school, then got married then lived happily ever after,” Campbell told the Herald at the time.

“She went the athletic route.”

And Love took her younger sister, Verneda Thomas, with her.

“Back in the 1940s and 1950s, my mother and aunt were the only two blacks in volleyball,” Campbell said, adding that love played with the Chicago Rebels in the 1930s and 1940s under legendary coach Bertha H. Lucas.

Love’s professional playing days stopped in 1960, when she had Campbell, but she didn’t stop moving. She did full-time clerical work and was a bilingual translator for the Chicago Police Department and the Cook County Sheriff ’s Department for a few decades.

She also watched the fruit of

her efforts with Thomas, who was the only African American on the U.S. Olympic Women’s Volleyball Team roster at the 1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo.

During a 2014 interview with the Honolulu Star-Advertiser, Thomas, who died last year at 79, recalled the racism that contoured her Olympic experience.

“At the nationals, I couldn’t stay in the same hotel as my team,” Thomas said. “I had competed internationally in track and never had that same segregation in other countries that I encountered in the U.S.” In 2004, Love described her and her sister’s struggles with racism for the Herald.

“Many times I slept in the station wagon because my sister and I couldn’t go in the hotels,” Love said.

Thomas was also a world-class track and field star, winning a national high jump title in 1957 as part of the U.S. women’s track and field team. She also refereed at the national level.

When she died, Doug Beal, USA Volleyball CEO, described Thomas as a “trailblazer,” as well as a “warm, upbeat, outgoing and engaging person.”

In addition to reveling in her own, and her sister’s, success, Love also volunteered — a lot. She was a renowned volleyball referee for over 70 years throughout Chicago and a pioneering, and longstanding, volunteer with Maywood Fine Arts’ PIONEER: Mary Love, above left, was among Stairway of the Stars Dance the first African American women to compete Studio in Maywood, among at the highest levels in the sport of volleyball. numerous other voluntary Love, below, second from left (next to the late roles.

“She was our best volunteer,” sheriff Richard J. Elrod), was also a longtime said MFA co-founder Lois employee with the Cook County Sheriff ’s Baumann. “She’s been involved Office. with helping us for at least 45 years. She brought Karen Courtesy Karen Campbell to dance when I first started working with the Maywood recreation department.”

Baumann said that even into old age, Love was helping out, her athleticism still apparent.

“We had an annual event where we all dressed up like the Mouseketeers and would make an adult pyramid,” Baumann said on Dec. 28. “She was always on the bottom, holding us up.

She was just a great person and I’m going to miss her.”

Baumann said that even into her 80s, Love could still be seen on a ladder refereeing volleyball games at District 89 schools. Love, Baumann said, made sure that those games were sufficiently regulated.

Campbell, who, like her mother, also played volleyball and keeps busy, said in 2004 that the biggest gift she received from Love was “work ethic.”

“Be diverse in what you do — don’t just settle for one or two (things),” Campbell told the Herald. “Always have a backup plan, an alternative.”

Funeral services for Love are scheduled to take place on Saturday, Jan. 6, at Broadview Wallace Funeral Home, 2020 W. Roosevelt Rd. in Broadview, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. The wake will be 10 a.m. to 11 a.m., while the cremation memorial services will be from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m.

MICHAEL WRIGHT Preaches love from page 1 native and Proviso West alum who pastors True Freedom Ministry — a predominantly African-American congregation that shares space, along with a predominantly Hispanic congregation, inside of the Cornerstone Anglican Church, a predominantly white congregation.

Wright’s church had been developing a relationship with an Anglican church in Wheaton. The bishop of that church, Wright said, explained that his predominantly white congregation was so shaken by Charlottesville that he offered to bring counsel to Wright’s parishioners.

“I told him that we deal with that kind of trauma every day,” Wright recalled during an interview on Monday. “You’re talking about Charlottesville, but I have three members in my congregation whose relatives were shot.”

The frank exchange would eventually morph into a movement of sorts called, simply, Walk Across the Street. The initiative involves cultural exchanges between black and white churches — both on Sunday morning and during the week in the form of seminars on race relations and other topics.

Grace McCutcheon, a former member of another Anglican church in Wheaton who moved to Chicago last year and now attends True Freedom, said that Wright’s visit to her old church, which is predominantly white, sparked a cultural exchange that was “really powerful.”

“As they say, 10 o’clock on Sunday morning is the most prejudiced time of the year,” said Dorsey Johns, a West Side resident. “We’re trying to break that down.”

Last Sunday, the Walk Across the Street movement spawned a Christmas concert and variety show of sorts held at Cornerstone

that featured a multicultural, multiracial choir singing popular gospel songs.

A literal walk

The name Walk Across the Street evokes the first encounter between Wright and Cornerstone’s pastor, the Rev. William Beasley, who around two years ago literally walked across the street to see what was happening at the predominantly black congregation, then worshiping at Beye Elementary School, located kitty-corner to Cornerstone.

“Rev. Beasley was having lunch with his wife and just walked across the street,” Wright said (attempts to reach Beasley before press time were unsuccessful).

The moment resulted in a fellowship between the two churches that made what happened one Sunday a little easier for the

both of them.

“We had gotten locked out of the school one Sunday and we didn’t have a place to worship,” Wright said. “People were standing outside, so we walked across the street and Cornerstone allowed us to worship there for the day.”

In 2016, Wright said, True Freedom Ministry moved in permanently, with the two churches now joined at the hip — hence the merged name, Cornerstone-True Freedom. The church also shares space with a predominantly Hispanic congregation, Piedra Principal.

“We have different services, but our leadership is really integrated,” said Cornerstone member Betsy Rager, who lives in Austin. “We sometimes have combined services and we do different outreach

ministries together.”

“Rev. Beasley always had a multicultural vision and I had a multicultural heart,” said Wright. “Oak Park, being a multicultural location, is a wonderful place for us to prosper.”

Wright and other people involved in the Walk Across the Street movement, however, are quick to point out that this extended moment of racial reconciliation is not premised on any watered down sense of unity.

“I love the notion of Christians coming together to worship from different backgrounds, but in a way that is just,” said Keesha Mwangangi, a former member of True Freedom, who now pastors a church of her own in Austin, where members of Cornerstone have visited as part of the Walk Across the Street initiative.

“What impresses me is when this notion came up of Walk Across the Street, Pastor Wright became the voice for what this can look like,” Mwangangi said. “That’s pretty big, because when we talk about racial reconciliation, leadership is only coming from whites and the blacks are just sittingduck participants. But in this case, Pastor Mike came up with a curriculum and did an orientation.”

Pastor Rickey Sanders, who lives in Maywood, said that when his Chicago church was visited by some white parishioners recently as part of the Walk Across the Street initiative, he didn’t shy from incorporating social justice into his sermon.

He spoke about Colin Kaepernick and the politics behind the former quarterback’s protest. He didn’t hold back for the sake of unity, he said, although the conversation was always cordial. And when Sanders visited a predominantly white church, he was struck by the commonalities.

Last Saturday, as Killingsworth spoke in the church’s vestibule, sounds of “Emmanuel,” a gospel song ubiquitous during the Christmas season, particularly in black churches, wafted from the sanctuary.

Everyone interviewed for this story was part of a multiracial choir that performed during the concert.

In keeping with Mwangangi’s observations, the African-American religious experience anchored the program, but there were flourishes of other cultures and ethnic intermingling. “Silent Night” was sung in Spanish. Someone played a harp. McCutcheon performed spoken word.

“We’re not allowing the affairs of Charlottesville to define who our neighbors are as Christians,” said Mwangangi.

“The people who were carrying those tiki torches identify as Christians, but what’s encouraging to me as a pastor who has been part of this is that white Christians took the initiative to say, ‘This is not the narrative of my Christian faith.’”

One Jesus, Mwangangi said, led people to protest against blacks. Another, she added, led people to speak out against the protestors.

“I don’t know of a true, liberating Christian who would say we both serve the same Jesus,” Mwangangi said.

“One is false,” said McCutcheon, who is white.

Paint and sip for good cause Please join the Maywood Youth Delegation in their first “Paint & Sip” fundraiser on Jan. 6, 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., at 200 S. 5th Ave., as they seek to raise funds to travel to Washington, D.C. to participate in the National League of Cities conference, sponsored, in part, by the Village of Maywood.

The conference will be held from March 10 through March. The purpose of the Youth Delegation is to participate in civic educational workshops while advocating for resources for the village, particularly for youth initiatives.

For the past two years our Youth Delegates have identified grant resources to support activities that include an initiative to establish block clubs targeting high crime areas, volunteering efforts at senior buildings and the creation of a safe route for children this past Halloween.

The format of the “Paint & Sip” fundraiser invites you to call forth your own creativity to paint a chosen theme on a canvass with instructions from a facilitator while sipping nonalcoholic beverages during this fun-filled event.

Tickets for this event are $20, but they are

also accepting donations of lower or higher value. With your donation and/or ticket purchaser for this fundraiser, more young people can be included in this valuable travel experience to Washington, D.C. Please support this event to make possible this opportunity for our youth to represent and better serve Maywood. Your funds will be used to support travel arrangements.

Ticket requests/donations should be sent to: Village of Maywood Mayor’s Office, 125 S. 5th Ave., Maywood, IL, 60153. Call (708) 450-4492 for more information.

Maywood-born author finds purpose in empowerment TeQuila Shabazz’s ‘Neo-Green Book’ is a guide to black businesses

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

Last year, we published a profile on our website of Maywood-born author TeQuila Shabazz, who spoke during a Kwanzaa ceremony at Afriware Books, located inside of the Eisenhower Tower, 1701 S. 1st Ave. The ceremony was held on the fifth day of Kwanzaa, whose principal, Nia, means purpose.

Shabazz, the founder of the BRIJ Embassy for Black America and the author of The Neo-Green Book, said at the time that her purpose is to help build capital in the African American community by emphasizing the importance of buying, and building, while black.

“You hear a lot about ‘buy black, buy black, buy black,’ which is good, but you have to also give black, too,” Shabazz said.

“And time is money. We give a lot of it away.”

Shabazz, 40, worked for 15 years in sales at various media companies, including the Tribune Company, before she discovered that her purpose was beyond Corporate America.

“Today is purpose and I can tell you that it is quite fitting that I would be standing here in Maywood, the community where I was born,” Shabazz said. “My family is from here, parents went to Proviso East. Twenty years ago, at Afriware, I bought my first set of books that brought me into knowledge of self.”

Five years ago, Shabazz said, she left her six-figure job with the Tribune-owned CW TV network. She was stationed in Dallas, which she described as “a perpetual suburb” with no shortage of racial animosity.

The growing frustration and dissatisfaction Shabazz felt with her corporate job and the city’s cultural environment combined with life circumstances to draw her to what she described as another phase of Nia. Her best friend had been killed by the police in 2010. Her daughter, who was born when Shabazz was still a teenager, was about to go off to college on a full scholarship.

One day, while driving in Dallas roughly

five years ago, Shabazz felt tormented by the pain of being pulled one direction by a job and a culture she despised and what she believed was her true calling.

“In that moment, I swear to you, I was hit by a utility vehicle, smashed into a cement wall and was hit from behind by a little sports car,” she said.

“My car was totaled, but I was unscathed. That’s what sent me home [back to Chicago]. I was in a job that required me to be in the field all the time. I’d just bought a new car and I was like, I can’t buy another one. So, I returned home.”

Instead of going back into Corporate America, Shabazz said, she started the BRIJ Embassy, which she describes as “cooperative of people who want to eradicate poverty and build wealth in black America.”

The cooperative has since grown into around 5,000 members whose goal is to “intentionally and strategically” eradicate poverty and build wealth in Black America.

The members, Shabazz said, collect receipts, conduct secret shopper visits, make phone calls and do extensive research in order to make sure that they’re supporting black-owned businesses.

In addition to having a presence on Facebook, the group also regularly hosts single-day shopping events for black-owned businesses, pouring thousands of dollars of money into the enterprises within a matter of hours.

Shabazz’s Neo-green Book includes about 500 black-owned businesses, most of them in Chicago, and is released quarterly. The book is an echo of The Negro Travelers’ Green Book, once considered the “Bible of black travel during Jim Crow.”

First published in 1936 by Victor Hugo

Green, a black postal employee from Harlem, the Green Book was designed “to give the Negro traveler information that will keep him from running into difficulties, embarrassments and to make his trip more enjoyable,” according to Kathleen Franz’s and Susan Smuylans’ Major Problems in American Popular Culture.

Shabazz said her book is “the next generation to [Hugo’s] book,” which went out of print in 1966, shortly after the passage of the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts.

“Today, we have to expose and highlight places that are safe to shop at,” she said in an interview earlier this month. “This is an economic war. There are companies we give our money to that fund the prison industrial complex [among other social problems that ensnare poor and minority consumers].”

The struggle, however, is real. That’s a dictum, Shabazz indicated, that holds for all ages, it seems. While looking through the original green book’s archives in New York City, Shebazz discovered a sad truth. Hugo was careful to add a publisher’s caveat to his editions, cautioning his readers that some businesses, while operational before the book went to print, may no longer exist after the publication rolls off of the presses.

Shabazz said part of the motivation to publish her book quarterly was the fact that the lifespan of many black businesses is short, making regular, frequent updates a necessity. In addition to going out of business, some enterprises may change contact information as well, she said.

But the struggle extends deeper than that tough reality, Shabazz noted.

The $1.3 trillion spending power of African Americans that’s often touted as a sign of economic strength, the author said, is less

TEQUILA SHABAZZ

potent when scrutinized. The key word, she said, is spending.

“Spending power, spending, spending, spending,” she repeated. “Not saving, not accumulating wealth, spending, which means I’m giving it away constantly.”

Only around two percent of that black spending power, Shabazz said, gets invested into black businesses. The factoid elicited a collective gasp from the audience.

“That’s terrible, terrible,” said Maywood Youth Mentoring Founder Barbara Cole.

“There is no reason why we shouldn’t support our own all of the time,” said Pamela Hunt, of Hunt Cultural Brilliance Group, who introduced Shabazz.

“We only get $26 billion of $1.3 trillion,” Shabazz said. “That’s not even a dent.

True wealth is in ownership, which means that our wealth is reflected in our black businesses. Those black businesses earn about $186 billion per year, which is really sad, because we’re spending, like, 10 times that.”

Shabazz said that, of the roughly 2.6 million black businesses in existence, around 90 percent of them are sole proprietors making about $50,000 to $60,000 a year. That means, she said, “we have to increase the intensity of our support to them if, realistically, we are going to have them employ our young people. Right now, [black business owners] are only making enough to survive day-today.”

Shabazz suggested that the widely held belief, particularly acute among blacks, that black businesses are often substandard or not very professional often omits the responsibility of black consumers.

“Instead of complaining, contact the business and say, ‘This is what I experienced coming into your place. I really loved this, but if you changed this, you’d be exceptional,” Shabazz said. “That’s accountability, y’all.

That’s reciprocity, y’all. That’s among the small things we can do, instead of making excuses all the time about what we ain’t doing.”
