First Baptist Church of Ossining Celebrates 233rd Anniversary

PUBLISHER

1986-2009

By Yvonne B. Bert

The historic First Baptist Church of Ossining will celebrate 233 years of service to the Ossining community on Sunday, November 19, 2023. The church began in the late 18th century with prayer meetings, at the home of its founder Captain Elijah Hunter, a Revolutionary Was spy and Sing Sing-based landowner and businessman. The current site of First Baptist Church was originally occupied

by Sing Sing Baptist congregation. but was demolished when the edifice became too small to accommodate the growing congregation. The oldest religious institution in Ossining, First Baptist’s records reflect that in the church’s early years, masters and enslaved persons held equal standing as congregants. It was during the Centennial Celebration of First Baptist Church that Star of Bethlehem Baptist Church in Ossining was organized, under the leadership of the Rev. Henry E. Duers.

In 1973, First Baptist Church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Located in the center of the Village of Ossining at 1

Church Street, it is one of Ossining’s most prominent landmarks. The Gothic Revival architectural style brick building has a tall towering steeple which was built in the 1870’s.

Over the years, weather conditions have weakened the steeple structure and the church has an on-going drive to “Save Our Steeple.” There is a GoFundMe page for the Steeple Restoration Project to help raise the close to $1,000,000 for repair of the steeple and to follow the stringent construction rule that the church must adhere to. Interested persons may donate directly to First Baptist Church of Ossining, 1 Church Street, Ossining, NY 10562.

First Baptist Church has been serving the Ossining community for the past 233 years providing religious guidance and a place to worship. It is also the original home of the Ossining Open Door health facility which started in basement of the church by dedicated community health providers. First Baptist Church also provides space for service for the growing Latin immigrant population each Sunday afternoon.

For many years, First Baptist Church and Star of Bethlehem Baptist Church held joint anniversary services. Star of Bethlehem held its 133rd Anniversary on November 12, 2023, where Rev. Shaun Ellison Jones is Pastor. The 233 Anniversary Service for First Baptist Church will be held on Sunday, November 19 at 11:00 a.m. and the community is invited. Rev. Dr. Glenn M.

WCT Premieres Eden’s Echo: A Drama Fraught with Suspense and Thought That Asks: Can AI And Humanity Co-Exist In Peace?

OSSINING, NY - From Friday, December 1 through Sunday, December 10, Westchester Collaborative Theater (WCT) Ossining will present the world premiere of Eden’s Echo by Misha Templar Sinclair, a candid, compelling, and sometimes chilling probe into the future of humanity and AI. At a pristine cabin in the Adirondacks, a tranquil retreat where a small group of friends – a couple, a pair of exes and their genial host - gather for a week-long getaway to reconnect and unwind, a surprise guest emerges in an unexpected form. Intrigue progresses to temptation, discomfort and ultimately much more. Soon all are forced to grapple with life-altering questions and choices: Will AI prove to be a savior or a

destroyer? Can we coexist in peace or will humanity’s appetite for dominance and power lead to our obsolescence? And, in the midst of all, raw wounds and simmering hopes of love - lost and promising- forge ahead.

Roberta Robinson of Somers, an award-winning director and actor, will direct.

“Humanity is at a crossroads, this is the dawn of a new era,” says Sinclair, a Greenburgh resident and IT professional. “We face a choice, will we adapt and integrate or fade into obsolescence, irrelevant as a rotary phone, artifacts of a bygone age.” She adds, significantly, that those who blame technology are missing the point. “It’s our flaws, our hubris, deceit and manipula-

Honoring Our Promise to Our Black Veterans

By Assistant Democratic Leader James E. Clyburn

The original government-issued posters publicizing the G.I. Bill of 1944 were designed to inspire.

Oversized red and white letters urged, “Veterans — prepare for your future through EDUCATIONAL TRAINING. Consult your nearest Office of the VETERANS ADMINISTRATION.” Another read, “VETERANS — if buying a farm, home, or business, learn about GUARANTEED LOANS.” A third showed a young man with his hand on his chin, deep in thought, with the following text above: “Shall I go back to school?”

decorated World War II veteran Sgt. Isaac Woodard, Jr. was traveling home on a Greyhound bus to Winnsboro, South Carolina when a local police chief forcibly removed him from the bus. Still in his uniform after being honorably discharged, the officer beat him mercilessly. Woodard was cruelly thrown in jail rather than given the necessary medical treatment, leading to his blindness. The police chief was ultimately acquitted of the crime by an all-white jury.

President Truman was so moved by Sgt. Woodard’s horrific abuse that he signed an Executive Order integrating the armed services.

What’s notable about these posters is that every person pictured is white. These posters sent a message to Black veterans that they need not apply — that these life-changing programs were not meant for them.

This message was reinforced by the blatant discrimination perpetrated

by Veterans Affairs (VA) offices around the country and the abysmal benefits provided to veterans of color. In 1947, only two of more than 3,200 home loans administered by the VA in Mississippi cities went to Black borrowers. Similarly, less than 1% of VA mortgages went to Black borrowers in New York and New Jersey suburbs.

These disparities in homeownership opportunities have grown with time. The Consumer Federation of America estimates that homeownership rates for white and Black Americans stood at 74.50% and 44.10% respectively in 2020, and 65% and 38% in 1960. This homeownership disparity helps explain the difference in net worth for white families ($171,000) compared to that of Black families ($17,150). After signing the G.I. Bill into law in June

1944, President Truman remarked that it would give “emphatic notice to the men and women in our armed forces that the American people do not intend to let them down.”

Nearly 80 years later, I’ve teamed up with Congressman Seth Moulton (MA-06) and U.S. Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock (D-GA) to ensure President Truman’s words ring true. We have reintroduced Sgt. Isaac Woodard, Jr. and Sgt. Joseph H. Maddox G.I. Bill Restoration Act in the U.S. House of Representatives

and the U.S. Senate. It would provide critical housing and education benefits to Black World War II veterans and their descendants, honoring our long overdue promise to the nation’s heroes. It would also require that the Government Accountability Office establish a panel of independent experts to assess inequities in how benefits are distributed to minority and female service members.

The bill’s name pays homage to two admirable and unsung World War II veterans. In February 1946,

tion, that drove AI to evolve rapidly and could, eventually, place it in a position of threat,” says Sinclair.

“WCT is proud to be the first company to present this thrilling play by an amazing writer, one that grapples with issues that define our age in a dramatic form sure to not just engage, but rivet audiences.

This will be a nail-biting, edge-ofyour-seat experience talked about long after the actors leave the stage,” says Alan Lutwin, executive produc-

er of WCT. The ensemble of WCT actors are: Nicole Arcieri (Yonkers); Jeff Callan (Montrose); Brenna Hughes (NYC); Sergio Argüelles Catare (Stamford, CT); Brenda Hettmansberger and Brian Bagot (both of Ossining).

Eden’s Echo will run Friday and Saturday December 1 and 2 at 8 pm, with matinees Saturday at 2 and Sunday, December 3 at 3 and the following weekend, Friday and Saturday

December 8 and 9 at 8 pm; Saturday at 2 and Sunday, December 10 at 3.

Talk backs at Saturday matinees.

Tickets are $25; $20 for seniors, students and WCT members. https://wct-presents-edens-echoby-misha-sinclair.eventbrite.com Misha Templar Sinclair has had plays and monologues produced through WCT, Axial Theater and Shades Repertory and in Manhattan at the Winter Festival of Hudson Guild Theater.

Sgt. Joseph Maddox, another World War II veteran, applied and was accepted to a master’s degree program at Harvard University. His local Veterans Affairs office denied him the tuition assistance he was rightfully due under the G.I. Bill to “avoid setting a precedent.” After seeking assistance from the NAACP, the VA in Washington, D.C., ultimately promised to get Sgt. Maddox the educational benefits he deserved.

These are just two of the countless servicemembers who were treated unfairly after sacrificing on behalf of their country. Black soldiers returning home from World War II found themselves facing the same socioeconomic and racial discrimination they had faced before. Instead of being welcomed with open arms, they struggled to find jobs, get educated, and purchase homes. We cannot undo the injustices of our past.

But we can begin to restore the possibility of full economic mobility for those that the original G.I. Bill left behind. The G.I. Bill Restoration Act would bring us one step closer to that goal. wright of Agnes of God, is a mentor who has praised her work highly.

Westchester Medical Center Health Now Providing Orthopedic and Physical Therapy Services in Mount Vernon

VALHALLA N.Y. (November 8, 2023) – Westchester Medical Center Health Network (WMCHealth) is continuing its effort to increase healthcare access and equity for all through a new partnership with the Westchester Community Health Center, formerly known as Mount Vernon Neighborhood Health Center.

Mr. Chamberlain’s son, Kenneth Chamberlain Jr., continues to fight for justice for his father and for other families who have lost loved ones to police misconduct.

United States Supreme Court Unveils New Code of Ethics for Justices

By Stacy M. Brown, NNPA Newswire Senior National Correspondent @StacyBrownMedia

While lower federal judges adhere to an ethics code governing their conduct, Supreme Court justices have never been subject to the same rules due to their unique constitutional status.

The Supreme Court unveiled an ethics code for its justices on Monday, marking a departure from its historical absence of such regulations. The move comes in the wake of heightened scrutiny and revelations surrounding undisclosed property deals and gifts that have raised concerns about the ethical conduct of some justices.

In an official statement, the court highlighted the code’s purpose as providing a comprehensive framework for ethical conduct. “For the most part, these rules and principles are not new,” the court explained. It emphasized that the absence of a code had led to what the court said was the misconception that justices were exempt from ethical constraints.

While lower federal judges adhere to an ethics code governing their conduct, Supreme Court justices have never been subject to the same rules due to their unique constitutional status. Chief Justice John

G. Roberts Jr., in a letter to lawmakers earlier this year, indicated that the court draws guidance from the ethics code applicable to other federal judges.

The decision to adopt the ethics code follows a series of controversies surrounding undisclosed dealings, including a revelation involving conservative Justice Clarence Thomas. Thomas acknowledged undisclosed travel expenses funded by billionaire associate Harlan Crow in his most recent annual financial disclosure report.

The report detailed several trips facilitated by Crow, including a conservative conference in Dallas and a vacation to the Adirondacks. Thomas, citing security concerns related to a leaked draft opinion on the Roe v.

Wade case, defended using a private jet for one trip. The report, compiled with the assistance of attorney Elliot Berke, asserted that there were no in-

tentional ethical violations and that any discrepancies in previous reports were unintentional.

The disclosures stem from a ProPublica exposé outlining Thomas’s acceptance of luxurious trips from Crow, a prominent Republican donor, which were not disclosed in previous financial reports.

In response to these revelations, Democratic members of the Senate Judiciary Committee are urging the Supreme Court to implement new ethical guidelines. The controversy also prompted a change in disclosure regulations in March, requiring justices to disclose private aircraft travel and stays at privately owned resorts.

Justice Thomas justified the gifts from Crow as “personal hospitality,” exempt from previous regulations requiring disclosure. The recent report further addressed Crow’s acquisition of Thomas’s family-owned real estate in Savannah, clarifying that

Thomas’s financial loss in the transaction was due to a prior investment in his mother’s property.

Furthermore, the report revealed omissions in Thomas’s previous submissions, including the disclosure of bank accounts and other financial matters held by his conservative political activist wife, Ginni Thomas.

An August 2023 ProPublica report exposed additional details of Thomas’s extensive travel, financed by billionaire backers, raising concerns from Democrats and ethics experts. The report claimed that the new information revealed that Thomas’s lifestyle far exceeded his reported income, potentially violating ethics laws.

Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) tweeted in response to the revelations, “Justice Thomas has brought shame upon himself and the United States Supreme Court with his acceptance of massive, repeated, and undisclosed gifts. He should resign immediately.”

As winter weather approaches, the One Hundred Black Men of New York (“OHBM”) is launching its annual Suit and Winter Coat Drive.

The goal is to provide warmth and professional attire to those in need as they transition into the workforce.

Donations of new and gently used coats and suits are needed for men who are reentering the workforce, recently released from incarceration, or experiencing homelessness.

Donations can be dropped off at the OHBM office, 2601 Frederick Douglass Boulevard, New York, NY 10030, between November 13, 2023 - December 15, 2023, in time for holiday delivery. Contact George Bellinger, Jr. via email: george.bellinger@ohbm.org or call (212) 7777070 for more information.
