An official campaign to change the name of Stephen A. Douglas Park to Frederick Douglass Park on the West Side got an unofficial boost thanks to someone who was tired of waiting for the Park District to right a historical wrong. Citing Stephen Douglas’ racist past, a group of students launched a campaign in 2017 to strip Douglas’ name from the park, which sits in a neighborhood that is 87 percent Black. But as the campaign stalled, someone with a steady hand made the change for Chicago, carefully painting an extra “S” on all of the park’s green signs. Behold, “Douglass Park” … at least on its signs. Stephen A. Douglas, a Civil War-era Illinois senator, was one of history’s most notorious slavery advocates. In 1858, he famously debated Abraham Lincoln in support of allowing expanded slavery across U.S. territories. While Douglas was not known to have personally owned slaves, he is considered to have de facto endorsed See DOUGLASS PARK on page 8

City Catholic schools to share nearly $50M St. Catherine-St. Lucy, and St. Angela among 30 to receive Big Shoulders Fund support By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor
Two Catholic schools in Oak Park and Austin were listed among 30 in the Chicago area to receive a $47.5 million commitment over 10 years from Big Shoulders Fund, an independent charitable organization that supports inner-city Catholic schools. Officials with the organization made the announcement in a statement released on Jan. 29. The schools — which include St. Catherine of Siena-St. Lucy School, 27 Washington Blvd. in Oak Park, and St. Angela School, 1332 N
Massasoit Ave., in Austin — will receive “significantly increased” funding for operations, Big Shoulders Fund officials explained in their statement. The commitment represents a 51 percent financial stake in the 30 schools, according to Crain’s Chicago Business. In addition, the organization will “take on an expanded leadership role with principals in these schools to help them manage their schools toward specific goals in key operating areas of academics, enrollment, development and finances,” the statement explains. “We are honored to be able to provide this historic level of investment to help strength-
en communities throughout the greaterChicago area,” said James J. O’Connor, the founding chairman and current co-chairman of Big Shoulders Fund. “Our own research has shown that alumni of our schools go on to vote, study, work, and volunteer at rates higher than their peers, becoming the citizens and neighbors that make our communities and Chicago a better place for all of us who live,” O’Connor said. Josh Hale, the president and CEO of Big Shoulders Fund, said that the $50 million

Democratic candidates running for the 7th District Congressional seat packed the second-floor auditorium at the Austin Branch Library, 5615 W. Race Ave. in Austin, on Jan. 30 for a forum that put the incumbent’s long legislative record under scrutiny. The forum — sponsored by the Northeastern Illinois Chapter of Americans for Democratic Action and Northside Democracy for America, the primary’s three challengers — included Oak Park activist Anthony Clark, Austin activist Kina Collins and Streeterville attorney Kristine Schanbacher. Longtime incumbent Danny K. Davis was absent due to travel, according to Ira Cohen, a Davis spokesman who attended the forum in the congressman’s place. The political event, attended by roughly 100 people, was moderated by Oak Park attorney Richard K. Means, an ADA national executive board member and chair of ADA Northeastern Illinois. From the outset, Cohen framed Davis’ reelection bid as a continuation of his long record fighting for progressive causes and pushing progressive legislation. Cohen pointed out that Davis is a sponsor of the Green New Deal — the package of legislation designed to resolve the problems of climate change and economic inequality — and said he’s been a pioneer in the community health movement, a predecessor to the current Medicare for All movement. “What [Davis] is talking about is a total revolution of eliminating profit from healthcare,” Cohen said. Collins and Clark pushed back against Cohen’s narrative. Collins said she was motivated to run after organizing doctors and medical students nationally in support of single payer healthcare and lambasted Davis for taking “$2.4 million in corporate money from mostly private insurers and pharmaceutical companies.” Collins added that Davis had to be lobbied by National Nurses United to join the Medicare for All Caucus. “It shouldn’t be the fact that we didn’t hear about Medicare for All … until I was on the ground with Nurses United, because you can’t change policy until you change minds,” Clark said. “I didn’t see the congressman or his team door-knocking [on the West Side] and on the ground talking to people who have been ignored for generations.” Discussing immigration, Means pointed out that last year Davis voted for a budget proposed by President Donald Trump that allocated “$9 billion to [Immigration and
Customs Enforcement] and $20 billion to border protection.” Cohen said that Davis’ staff has had “more people come into our office for aid and immigration in a month than anyone at this table has in their entire careers,” adding that there were some items in the spending package that Davis agreed with and others he didn’t agree with. “Nobody is going to get everything they want,” he said. Schanbacher, a human rights attorney who said she has won asylum for a transgender Mexican immigrant, blasted the incumbent for his handling of a 2019 incident at O’Hare, where children were detained by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials because the girls were allegedly undocumented. While Rep. Jan Schakowsky, who voted against Trump’s budget, showed up to the airport, Davis didn’t, Schanbacher said. “[Davis] not only did not show up to the airport, he was silent,” Schanbacher said. “After the fact, there was a letter signed by many representatives in the Chicago area regarding the deplorable conduct of ICE and Davis did not sign on to that letter. His actions have serious consequences. We need someone strong to protect our immigrants and he is not doing that.” Clark, who said that he was at the airport, called for the abolition of federal agencies like ICE and CBP, the dismantling of the border wall and detention centers, and the decriminalization of the border. Collins urged candidates to expand the scope of the immigration issue to include African immigrants from places like Haiti who “get left out of the conversation of immigration in this country.” When it came to money in elections, there was a consensus among candidates that Citizens United, the 2010 Supreme Court ruling that opened the floodgates for special interest groups to spend unlimited amounts of money in elections, should be overturned. In an effort to demonstrate Davis’ independence from corporate funding, Cohen said that the congressman has never been a prolific fundraiser and, as far as Cohen knows, does not spend his time “dialing for dollars.” Cohen said that the little fundraising the congressman does participate in is in order to pay his dues to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. The point opened Davis up to a criticism from Collins, who said the fact that Davis is “taking corporate PAC money and then paying the DCCC is problematic, because we know the DCCC is trying to stop the emergence of insurgent candidates coming in and shaping and shifting this party.” Collins cited the example of Rep. Dan Lipinksi, a Democratic congressman who has come out against abortion rights. The Democratic Primary election is on March 17. CONTACT: michael@austinweeklynews.com

BIG SHOULDERS More support from page 1 commitment is a “natural next step” for the organization and builds on 15 years of providing operational and academic assistance for 75 Catholic schools in the Chicago area and Northwest Indiana. “We have grown from investing $12 million in 2011 to more than $26 million this past year, with 45 percent of that focused on our operational and academic support to schools,” Hale said. LYNN FREDERICK The 30 Chicago St. Angela’s director area schools are all of advancement part of the Archdiocese of Chicago, which will continue to provide them with financial support. While Big Shoulders Fund will donate $47.5 million, the Archdiocese will provide $44.9 million to the schools, according to Crain’s.

TURNING AROUND: St. Angela School in Austin, one of 30 Catholic schools across Chicago that will receive a share of nearly $50 million in support from Big Shoulders Fund. The Big Shoulders Fund announcement comes a month after the Archdiocese announced the closing of five more Catholic schools in the Chicago area — the latest crest in a wave of school closures that has hit the Archdiocese in the last 10 years. Most
of the closures have happened due to low enrollment and financial troubles. According to the Chicago Tribune, total enrollment in the Archdiocese schools has dipped to roughly 71,000 in 2020, down from more than 95,000 eight years ago.
Crain’s reported that the 30 schools selected to receive the nearly $50 million investment were “chosen because of their deficits, location, and the number of students living in poverty.” Lynn Frederick, St. Angela’s director of advancement, said in an interview on Feb. 8 that last month’s announcement had been in the works for some time. The added support, she said, will translate into the Austin school — one of the few in the Archdiocese that exists without the support of a parish — having “a bit longer runway for us to get turned around” and stabilized. “The agreement doesn’t necessarily mean that there will be a huge cash infusion immediately,” she said. “That’s not necessarily what’s going to happen, but we will continue to have the investment we need from Big Shoulders in order to continue to turn ourselves around.” St. Angela, which has been without a parish since 2005 and is the only Catholic school in Austin, is heavily dependent on resources from the Archdiocese, Big Shoulders and donations from alumni — all of whom “have become enamored of our mission over the years,” Frederick said. “Big Shoulders is supported by incredibly generous supporter who believe keeping children who are underserved in their neighborhoods in Catholic schools,” she said. “It does not matter if our children are Catholic or not. We teach because we’re Catholic and that’s also the ministry of Big Shoulders.” CONTACT: michael@austinweeklynews.com

Restrictive covenants were more insidious than I thought
I
n 2018, when the great soul singer Aretha Franklin died, President Donald Trump did not miss the opportunity to tweet out that the singer “worked for me on numerous occasions.” It was more than an awkward line from a notoriously maladroit child-man. That line had roots in something deeper, an ideology that has its tentacles in our very own living rooms. It’s no secret that many Chicago area communities like Austin and even my suburban hometown of Maywood, about six miles west of here, enforced racial segregation through pieces of paper called restrictive covenants. According to a 2019 article published by the Seattle Times: “Restrictive covenants on race were commonly written into deeds across the nation after 1926, the year that the U.S. Supreme Court initially found them to be lawful, said UW history professor James Gregory. A property owner who violated them risked a lawsuit from neighbors, or could have a property sale voided.” It turns out that Washington state — the home of Amazon and Microsoft and Starbucks — was also shaped by these racist property covenants. And that article reminded me that in many instances, despite being ruled unenforceable by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1948, those covenants are still in the deeds of homes in places across the country. So to celebrate Black History Month, check your mortgage deed to see if it contains language restricting the property from being sold to blacks and look into whether or not you can request the county to strike that discriminatory language from your deed, as a new law enacted last year allowed homeowners in the Seattle area to do. But there’s a more important lesson about these racist covenants and it has to do with language. Whites who utilized these documents had sophisticated explanations for them. According to historian Wendy Plotkin, the Federation of Neighborhood Associations, an organization dedicated to creating and maintaining these covenants, punched back against claims that these racist covenants were the result of a conspiracy by whites to keep blacks hemmed in, quarantined in inner-city ghettos and “colored neighborhoods” in suburbs like Maywood. “It is a bald insult to depict as ‘conspirators’ the thousands of Chicagoans who have entered into purely personal legal contracts in order to preserve their homes or to protect their investments,” the Federation members said in the 1940s. “Race restrictive covenants do not segregate negroes. They segregate whites. These covenants do not connote prejudice,” they argued. “They have been signed by persons in industrial and professional life whose
activities provide employment to thousands of negroes.” I sometimes wonder whether this euphemistic explanation for the existence of racist covenants has something to do with why, for so long, I simply nodded when old timers would reflect on the halcyon days of my hometown. During those recollections, the old timers didn’t often hone in on the fact of Maywood’s racial segregation. Yes, segregation by racial covenants existed, but that did not stop blacks from flourishing, the thinking goes. That’s true enough, but that line of thought also works to blunt the insidious nature of the racial segregation that proliferated across the country during that time and that is partially responsible for so much suffering today. And it obscures the property covenant’s blatant white supremacist foundation. Consider the language in these documents. The following passage was pulled directly from a standard form restrictive covenant drafted for the Chicago Real Estate Board in 1927 — language that was likely found in covenants contained within the deeds of homes in Maywood at the time (and perhaps even today). “The restriction that no part of said premises shall in any manner be used or occupied directly or indirectly by any negro or negroes, provided that this restriction shall not prevent the occupation, during the period of their employment, of janitors’ or chauffeurs’ quarters in the basement or in a barn or garage in the rear, or of servants’ quarters by negro janitors, chauffeurs or house servants, respectively, actually employed as such for service in and about the premises by the rightful owner or occupant of said premises. “The restriction that no part of said premises shall be sold, given, conveyed or leased to any negro or negroes, and no permission or license to use or occupy any part thereof shall be given to any negro except house servants or janitors or chauffeurs employed thereon as aforesaid.” The very language of these racist covenants tells us what they were really about. If the covenants were merely designed to “segregate whites,” they wouldn’t exempt blacks from living with whites as janitors or chauffeurs or servants. In other words, blacks and whites could live together, so long as blacks were kept servile and inferior to whites. That’s what racial segregation was really about. White supremacy informed the creation of Maywood’s “colored neighborhood” — where my grandparents and great-grandparents and great-great-grandparents lived. White supremacy explains why this country can be so comfortable with routinizing black misery (from the War on Drugs to mass incarceration to community disinvestment).

Delivering your packages, Part II
W
hen I deliver packages, my mission is very simple: Find the correct address, hopefully gain entrance, leave the package, take a picture and be on my way. Of those five things, gaining entrance to multi-unit buildings is the biggest challenge. Some buildings have special codes that they give to the delivery people so we can get into the main entrance and leave the package in a secure location. Others have prison bars across the front of their property, which makes it impossible to get inside. To top it off, they have no doorbell system attached to that wrought iron fencing. Why these people order packages I have no clue. Unlike the post office, we don’t have special keys that unlock doors. So it is frustrating beyond belief to read the notes from someone telling me there’s a special way they want their package delivered, and I can’t even get through the front door. I think Chicago needs to have an ordinance mandating that buildings of six units or more need to have doorbell systems that allow delivery people to gain entrance to the lobby/foyer. There’s nothing more dangerous than standing outside with several huge boxes, trying to find a way to get inside. I am constantly on alert for people with bad intentions who think those boxes contain iPhones, iPads, or iPods. In reality, I’m more likely to have dog toys, dog food or something else for the four-legged critter that runs the household. In all seriousness, there is quite a bit of danger to delivering packages with obvious markings. I was delivering in East Garfield Park, and it was hard to see the address on the two-flat units. In the meantime, the person who lives next door was standing on the
dark porch telling me to come over there. But it wasn’t the address I wanted. As I placed the package in the specialty delivery box the customer had installed on their fence, I shook my head in disgust at a neighbor who was willing to try to steal another neighbor’s package. Package delivery is not going away. It is the wave of the future. Therefore I think we need a federal law requiring that all houses have the address painted in reflective paint on either the curb, driveway, or front steps. For the life of me, I don’t know how emergency first responders can find the right address when these people go out of their way to make their address impossible to be seen or found. Even worse are the apartment buildings that do not put any instructions as to how the apartment numbers are assigned. One would think after the murder of Botham Jean that buildings would be much more responsible in identifying apartments so that kind of mistake could never happen again. But even the ritziest buildings in Chicago don’t necessarily have signs telling you which way to go. In the event of a medical emergency when seconds count, I would hate to be the paramedic trying to figure out whether to go left or right when exiting the elevator. I also don’t understand why people who don’t have screen doors also tend not to have anything on the porch where you can hide the package. I am notorious for hiding packages behind shovels. It is one of the few tools people can leave out on their front porch that the criminal element will rarely ever grab and steal. So the next time you want to order something, please think of how it will get delivered. I know your delivery driver will appreciate that!

West Side political strategist Richard Barnett mourned Barnett, known as ‘godfather’ of independent politics in Chicago, died in December at 88
By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor
A who’s who of politicians, politicos and activists across Chicago recently mourned the passing of Richard Barnett, the towering West Side activist and political strategist who died in December at 88. Congressman Danny K. Davis called him “a leader of the independent political movement in Chicago, not just the blacks who would run for office but the white independents as well,” according to the Chicago Sun-Times. Political commentator Maze Jackson called him a “Black political guru” and the “Godfather of independent Black politics.” The Chicago Reader’s Ben Joravsky called Barnett, who lived in North Lawndale, a “teacher, with a specialty in helping young and naive rookie reporters learn a thing or two about Chicago politics. Oh, he was an excellent teacher for guys like that. I should know — I was one of his students.” According to an obituary released by Isaac Lewis Jr., the founding CEO and publisher of the North Lawndale Community News, Barnett was born in Chicago on March 27, 1931 — the seventh of 14 children. He attended Wendell Phillips High School, where he met Grace, his eventual wife and the mother of their three kids: Annitria, Genera and Jarmel. Barnett worked for the U.S. Postal Service for 35 years, which allowed him to purchase a four-flat building in the 3800 block of 18th Street — the building that would “later become his ad hoc community headquarters.” In the family home, Barnett convened young people he coached on his Jaguars Little League and Pony League teams, tutored in math and grammar, and led in the
Boy Scouts. “My mother Grace was also the den mother,” Annitria, the Barnetts’ oldest daughter, told Lewis. “A lot of people can’t say this about their dad,” said Jarmel. “He is the kindest man I’ve ever known. He took all the boys in the neighborhood under his wing. I grew up not knowing what it was not to have a brother. There were always 15 to 20 boys in the house. Every boy in the neighborhood knew him.” Barnett’s political progeny includes former Jaguars Appellate Court Justice Marcus Salone, retired judge Lawrence Terrell and retired state representative Arthur Turner, among others. Barnett got his start in politics in 1957, when he helped attorney Arthur Hamilton run against incumbent Ben Lewis, the first African American alderman of the 24th Ward. Hamilton, who later became president judge of the Cook County Juvenile Court, lost the race, but the campaign was the prelude to a lifetime of activism for Barnett. Barnett was partially responsible for the careers of many reform politicians like Congressman Jesus “Chuy” Garcia and his predecessor, former Rep. Luis Gutierrez, according to the Sun-Times. Many of those people were cultivated during the tenure of Harold Washington, Chicago’s first black mayor and another beneficiary of Barnett’s political activism. Davis, who was elected alderman in the 29th Ward in 1979, said that Barnett “assisted more African Americans to be elected judge of the circuit court than any single person we know.” Barnett is survived by his three children and a host of family, friends, neighbors and mentees. Grace, Barnett’s wife of 56 years, died in 2006. CONTACT: michael@austinweeklynews.com

DOUGLASS PARK Protest act from page 1 slavery by supporting a state’s right to decide to uphold it. “He wasn’t an opponent of slavery. He wasn’t an abolitionist. He also thought less of [African-Americans] than any other race,” Ald. Michael Scott Jr. (24th), the area’s alderman, said of Douglas in 2017. In stark contrast, Frederick Douglass was an escaped slave-turned-abolitionist and proponent of economic liberation, human rights and gender equality. The proposed Douglass Park would honor the legacy of a man born into chattel slavery who ran away to escape to the North. There, he became a talented orator and abolitionist. His highly-esteemed speeches, columns and memoirs detailed his experience living under the horrors of slavery. His most famous speech, “What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?,” was a blistering rebuke of the farce of American democracy that touted equality while sanctioning the torture and bondage of Black people under slavery. The Chicago Park District hasn’t recognized the proposed name change in spite of a petition started by students that garnered more than 4,000 signatures. The campaign to rename the park was driven by elementary students at the Village Leadership Academy with the support of neighborhood organizations including the North
Lawndale Community Coordinating Council. “To be honest with you, I don’t know if they are going to change the name,” said Sheila McNairy, the chair of Lawndale’s art and culture committee. “It’s at a standstill right now. … Everything they asked for those children to do, they did it.” The Park District’s process requires advocates for the name change to collect letters of support from residents and local organizations and submit a formal proposal to the general superintendent of the district. The district can then open a 45-day notice period for the public to express support or opposition to the name change. After reviewing public comments, the district may recommend a proposed renaming to its Board of Commissioners for approval. Douglass Park advocates already collected several letters of support from residents, organizations and local leaders, including Cook County Commissioner Dennis Deer and Scott. Scott said he has been interested in changing the name of the park ever since his days as a park supervisor at Douglas Park, when he was shocked to learn his workplace was named not for the abolitionist but for the senator who argued for preserving slavery. “I don’t think it’s appropriate for someone who was a pseudo-champion of slavery to have a park named after them in a community that is [home to] people who are the descendants of slaves,” Scott said. Years later when Scott became alderman, he was approached by students who wanted to name the park after Rekia Boyd, an unarmed Black woman who was slain in Douglas Park by an allegedly intoxicated off-duty police
detective who was later acquitted. That idea eventually evolved into the current proposal, which Scott said would be much easier to convince the district to accept. “It has been a very daunting task to get the Park District to agree to change the name,” he said. Though the proponents of the name change followed the Park District’s process of collecting letters of support, the district confirmed it has not yet opened up a 45-day notice period for collecting public feedback and has not submitted the proposal to the board. “There is no precedent for changing the name of a park that was named after a historical figure,” according to a statement from the Park District’s press office. The Park District denied it received any formal request to change the park’s name. Scott said he plans to talk to Park District officials about opening up an official comment period to move the process forward, but there is no guarantee the district will ultimately decide to officially rename the park. While the official name change of the park has stalled, residents have been exploring other avenues to celebrate Douglass’ legacy. Behind the Douglas Park Fieldhouse, young people have been working on a project dubbed Douglass 18 that will revive the formerly defunct mini-golf course there. The project is guided by artist Haman Cross, who hopes naming the mini-golf course after Douglass will build momentum around renaming the entire park. And as Douglass 18 and the park campaign move forward, Cross said it is important not to

THAT’S MORE LIKE IT: An artist recently added an ‘s’ to Douglas Park in North Lawndale. lose sight of the history behind the name. “It’s cool to want to change the name. I think it’s necessary. But there also needs to be more intention and education about who Frederick Douglass was … and his impact on politics,” Cross said. And for many residents, the park may as well be called Frederick Douglass Park thanks to the handiwork of the unknown person who changed the signs. Scott said while he doesn’t condone writing on the signs, few people in North Lawndale would lose sleep over the slight to Stephen Douglas. “He was a sympathizer of slavery,” Scott said. “It is wrong to have the name of somebody who had apathy towards slavery to be the name of a park that all these people of color use and frequent every day. … I feel no remorse for them doing that.” CONTACT: pascal@blockclubchi.org

New TV show explores opioid crisis on West Side
“When you tell a story, I think that it gives people an option to relate,” said host Vee L. Harrison By PASCAL SABINO Block Club Chicago
A new public access TV show is opening up a candid conversation about drugs on the West Side and the people who use them. Presented by the West Side Heroin and Opioid Task Force, the Word Out West is a weekly TV talk show that airs on the CANTV’s channel 21. The task force is State Rep. La Shawn Ford’s answer to the abundance of opioid overdoses in the area. More than 20 percent of all opioid hospitalizations in the entire state happen on the West Side, according to a 2016 report. To prevent overdose deaths, the task force supports street outreach teams, addiction resources and is working to expand access for the lifesaving overdose reversal drug
Narcan by partnering with local groups to distribute the medication and train people on how to use it. But to move the needle on overdoses on the West Side, the task force needs to raise awareness and change the narrative about addiction, officials said. And one of the toughest but most important demographics to bring into the conversation is millennials ages 22-37. “We wanted to penetrate an audience that was very vital to the opioid crisis, but one that we hadn’t really gotten to. And that’s millennials,” said Vee L. Harrison, the show’s creator and host. According to Harrison, millennials are crucial because they are a connector between older generations and teens who might be impacted by opioid addiction, but lack access to treatment options. The show also aims to reduce the stigma around opioids by starting an honest conversation around drug use on the West Side. “We want people to understand that this is a very complex issue. But also a very human issue… We know that people who use drugs are highly stigmatized,” said co-host John Werning a harm reduction coordinator with Healthcare Alternative Systems, a nonprofit
that helps people with substance abuse and mental health issues. The shame associated with using opioids also ends up stopping people from seeking treatment, or even from carrying Narcan, which can save a life by reversing an overdose in seconds. “Because of the way we have stigmatized people who use drugs, we know people of color are disproportionately affected by that,” Werning said. To break down that stigma, the show will hosts guests who are trusted members of the community to share their own experiences with opioids. “We’re trying to have a lot of local community members on the TV show to spread the word about what they do to increase access and resources to people who watch the show,” said co-host Maggie Carter, also a harm reduction coordinator at Healthcare Alternative Systems. How to identify an overdose and how to use Narcan will be among the topics covered on the show. The show will also explore the politics that surround heroin and opioids, like the impact of the War on Drugs on Black communities and the unequal policing of
marijuana-related offenses in Black neighborhoods. But according to the hosts, the most important part of the show is using storytelling to humanize the issue. “We don’t envision just having industry professionals talk about administering Narcan and what opioids can do to the body,” Harrison said. “We also are planning to have survivors who have survived the opioid crisis. We are planning on having pregnant mothers who have been addicted to opioids.” Harrison hopes the TV program will show people who use drugs are complex, nuanced individuals deserving of dignity, support and redemption. Viewers are invited to dial in during the show to share their own journeys of recovery so that they can inspire others to get treatment. “When you tell a story, I think that it gives people an option to relate,” Harrison said. “The power of storytelling is real, and it makes people move. Once it inspires you, I think it makes you want to do something.” Word Out West airs at 5 p.m. Monday on channel 21, CAN TV, and can be streamed live at https://cantv.org/.

City treasurer talks investment on the West Side
Conyears-Ervin holds Dollars and Sense Town Hall By IGOR STUDENKOV Contributing Reporter
Throughout her first-ever Dollars & Sense Town Hall, held at Michele Clark High School, 5101 W. Harrison St., Chicago City Treasurer Melissa Conyears-Ervin emphasized that over $8.84 billion, which her office manages, is “your money” — so residents should know how it can work for them. That was one of the primary reasons she launched three town halls (the one on the South Side is scheduled for Feb. 22 and the North Side is Feb. 29). As someone who was raised in Austin and who lives in Garfield Park, Conyears-Ervin said, she specifically wanted to hold the first one on the West Side. She and her staff touted how her office changed the approach to where the city invests its money, giving preference to companies that hire locally and have minority executives and generally trying to invest in minority-owned companies. They want to figure out ways to use the office’s resources to address residents’ economic needs, she said, something that is still in the early stages at this time. Ashley Evans, the Treasurer’s Office’s chief impact officer, explained that they are
preparing a “Capitalize Chicago Platform” that would survey residents to see what they need, lobby aldermen and state legislators to pass laws that “ensure that laws support and provide equable access to capital,” making sure that any investments the office makes have measurable impact on the community. The goal is to raise workers’ wages while helping small businesses that would otherwise struggle to get access to capital get the funding they need. Evans said the office is currently in the research stage, and the findings will be unveiled this spring. As part of the research, all attendees were invited to take surveys looking at their financial needs. Craig Slack, the office’s chief investment officer, explained that one of the treasurer’s major functions is to use the money raised through taxes, fees and bond sales and investing them in stocks and bonds in order to generate profit for the city. Last year, investments brought in $224 million — which, he said, was an improvement over the last two years. “The more money we make for you, the less money you should have to pay,” he noted, adding, “Right, we wanna clap on that, don’t we? We hope we will continue to [generate more].” Slack laid out how the Treasurer’s Office decides which companies to invest in, mentioning that they look at how the executives are paid, how the company
treats its labor force, how it impacts the environment. As of 2019, they invested a total of 52 percent in companies that are either minority-owned, women-owned or veteran-owned. 15 percent, Slack mentioned later, are black-owned. “[Under Conyears-Ervin] we added a more robust language around diversity inclusion and corporate social responsibility,” he said. “What are you really doing to help the community you serve? Do you have an office in Chicago? Are you part of this community? In other words, if you want to do business in Chicago, you should have workforce that looks like Chicago.” Conyears-Ervin said that, while diversity requirements can scare companies, studies have found that companies with diverse leadership teams tend to do better. She emphasized that her major priority is to help small businesses — especially the ones that struggle getting traditional credit. That is why the latter half of the meeting was devoted to a panel made up of representatives of three types of lending institutions — Humberto Huerta, business relations manager at JP Morgan Chase bank; Marcus Yancey, economic development lender at Local Initiatives Support Corporation Chicago (LISC) nonprofit lender; and Emory Tower, a community lender at East Garfield Park based Accion Chicago. When asked how entrepreneurs should choose who to bank with, Tower
recommended approaching a bank first, and if that fails, applying with nonprofit lenders. He and other panelists explained that, in many cases, entrepreneurs may not have credit history, so they need time to establish one, and they need to show experience. As they get further down the line, more options would open up to them. When asked what might keep applicants from getting loans, Yancey responded that they needed to have a solid business plan. “It’s important to understand where you’re during a business cycle, how much you actually need, what your expenses are,” he said. “It’s just really important to understand your businesses and get the right type of [financing].” Tower also suggested very clear financial records. Many barbershops and nail salons he works with, he said, do their business in cash, which makes it hard to track. The businesses should, at the very least, have an account where the money is deposited, so there is some kind of paper trail. Huerta said they look at applicants’ ability to repay the loan. And Yancey said that “character” matters — if an applicant has terrible credit scores but runs their business ethnically, they would be considered, while an applicant with for example, a childsupport lien on their account is a red flag.

West Side book fair shines light on positive black images Chicago Black Child Book Fair, held Feb. 8 at Jensen, featured dozens of authors By IGOR STUDENKOV Contributing Reporter
Three hours after the Chicago Black Child Book Fair started at East Garfield Park’s on Saturday, the authors still had plenty of visitors like Dasheka Whitaker, who traveled from the Roseland neighborhood on the South Side. “I thought it was very inspiring and exciting,” she said, adding that she appreciated that many writers used their personal experiences to educate young people. Now in its second year, the book fair is designed to provide a platform for the authors of books that portray positive images of black children and to supplement the black history that the book fair’s founder, Darryl Harvey, says students aren’t getting in schools. The fair featured 26 vendors, most of whom were from Chicago. Others traveled from as far as Buffalo, New York. Founder Darryl Harvey created the fair because he feels that black children aren’t learning enough black history in schools and don’t encounter enough positive images in books. “There is a need for children to see themselves on the covers and on the pages of their books,” said poet Yusuf Ali El, the author of Thank You & Please, a book about basic manners. P. E. Barnes, a real estate investor from the Beverly neighborhood, wrote a series of books focusing on real estate investing and banking after attending an entrepreneurship day event at a local school. “The kids were really excited to hear me talk about entrepreneurship and that it could be a successful way to earn a living,” she said. Historian Bernard Turner, of Uptown, has written five books for children and adults. Tate and His Historic Dream is “about 28 historic characters who happened to be black,” because “a lot of the kids don’t know who those people are. The idea is to help them learn about black history in a fun way.” Many authors drew on personal experiences to inform their books. Evan Roberts, of south suburban Crete, based the protagonist of his Khahari Discovers series on his son. Roberts’ The Meaning of Autism is about how his son played with his nephew, who was diagnosed with autism. “A lot of times, kids don’t know how to treat someone who is different,” he said. Chiquina Mayberry, of Chatham, was inspired to write The Adventures of Abigail based on her time experiencing homeless-

Harvey said he started the event, in part, to promote positive images for black children. ness. “I wanted to write a story, so that children living in poverty can understand that they can still be creative, even if they don’t have money,” she said. After Peter Johnson, of Buffalo, New York, went through a divorce, he wrote The Cow on Two Farms, to show kids that having to split time between two households isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Derrell Spicy, an Austin cartoonist and children’s book author, wrote Michelle and a Dragon, a book “about a little girl fighting cancer, and the dragon is cancer.” Raelyn Purham, of Wrightwood neighborhood, said she went through “difficult life experiences” and wrote From One Girl to Another: Daughters of Destiny, to help girls dealing with self-esteem and relationship issues. “I think there’s a gap between the older generation and the generation of young girls,” Purham said. “I think there are so many girls that are suffering who need guidance, and this book does just that.” CONTACT: igorst3@hotmail.com
