Nike ad features wisdom of Dorothy Gaters The Marshall coach, winningest in IHSA history, waxes poetic on equality By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor
Dorothy Gaters — the winningest basketball coach in Illinois High School Association (IHSA) history — was allowed to share some of her abundant wisdom in a short promotional video Nike released last week in time for the Martin Luther King, Jr. national holiday. “I think if you consider a person equal to you, then you will treat them with a certain amount of respect and dignity,” Gaters says — her calm, dignified tone a fitting soundtrack to a black-and-white tableau that puts in stark relief Chicago’s two sides: one that’s overwhelmingly poor and darker-hued; the other wealthy and overwhelmingly white. The short ad opens with an expansive shot of the sky followed by the city’s famous skyline foregrounded by Lake Michigan. Gaters voice intermixes with the sound of water rippling and wind howling. “I think if you consider a person equal to you, then you will treat them with a certain amount of respect and dignity,” Gaters says before a freighted pause made heavier by the U.S. flag rippling in the breeze. “If we don’t have a mindset of fairness, we can’t translate that into the next generation,” the prominent coach continues as the sound and sight of the city’s ‘L’ train signal an ironic transition — a sidewalk view of the city’s relatively impoverished, racially segregated West Side, where Marshall High School is located. Gaters has coached the lady’s varsity basketball team at the school since 1976. She’s amassed more than 1,000 wins, 24 city championships, eight state titles, seven Coach of the Year selections from the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association and even more accolades than space allows. Gaters hosted her annual MLK Classic basketball See DOROTHY GATERS on page 6

CPS CEO: ‘I don’t play race politics’
Janice Jackson talks critics, goals By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor
During a phone interview last week, Dr. Janice K. Jackson — the current interim CEO of Chicago Public Schools who is expected to be appointed to the position permanently later this month — shared her ambitions and goals for the district, among other thoughts.
Jackson was chief education officer for CPS before assuming the top post. Below are excerpts from that talk.
AWN: Do you feel some anxiety about coming into this position considering what’s happened to your predecessors? (Forrest Claypool resigned after controversy resulting from an ethics violation and Barbara Byrd-Bennett was sentenced to four years in federal prison for her role in a kickback scheme) JKJ: Anxiety wouldn’t be the right word. Obviously, it’s a huge job, but it’s something I’ve worked for my whole ca-
reer. As a teacher, a principal, and district leader, this is a role I’ve sought. And the community has looked for someone with an education background.
AWN: What are some of your top priorities coming into the position? JKJ: A few things stand out. My primary goal is always to improve the academic performance of the district. CPS is on the rise, with record high graduation rates, record high rates across the board on every single metric we measure

Shared sidewalk program applications available On Jan. 9, the city started accepting applications for its popular shared cost sidewalk program. Property owners share the cost of sidewalk repair with the city. Thousands of Chicagoans have been a part of the program, whose cost per square foot charged to property owners is well below what a private contractor would charge. The approximate cost to a property owner in an average midblock property will range from $600 to $1,500. Senior citizens and persons with disabilities may qualify for 50 percent discount. Applications will be taken on a firstcome, first-served basis. The number of participants is based on availability of funds. The program typically reaches capacity quickly, so West Side residents are encouraged to apply early. Please note that if you applied for the program in previous years, you must apply again in 2018 if you wish to be considered this year. Applications will only be accepted through the city’s 311 system by calling 311 or through the city’s service request website. The property owner’s contact information and the property address are required when
you submit your request. For more questions, call at (312) 744-1746 or email: cdotsharedcost@cityofchicago.org.

JANICE JACKSON
I’ll maintain better communication with the union because that’s what parents expect.
Finding opportunity from page 1
— from test scores to college enrollment. We have to ensure that kids are getting a positive, high quality education in all of our schools across the city. New programming and new school opportunities need to exist so that communities improve around these schools. The other challenge is to make sure we continue to have a successful school year. This has been a relatively calm year compared to other years. There’s more certainty, so we want to make sure our students and families continue to feel that level of certainty. The state’s new funding mechanism is one source of that certainty. At the beginning of this year, we got a $450 million infusion of cash due to changes in the funding formula, so our schools won’t be subject to midyear cuts, furlough days and a reduction in professional development days. AWN: What will your relationship be like with the Chicago Teachers Union? JKJ: I have a great relationship with the union and I think we agree on what matters most, which is that students get the high quality schools they deserve. We disagree from time to time on how to get there, but
AWN: You’re aware of the Chicago Reporter article, which discovered that, in the last decade, CPS has lost more than 52,000 black students — many of them to schools in the suburbs and places in northwest Indiana, like Gary, which are basically poor and predominantly African American. What is CPS trying to do to stanch the outflow of these students and families? Jackson: We noticed that phenomenon in the district even prior to that article. I approach that problem from that standpoint of an educator. People transition for a number of reasons, but if we created high quality options, people will be less likely to transition. You can build a great community around a school. Part of my role is to make sure there are good opportunities so that people won’t want to leave CPS or Chicago. AWN: Chicago Reader columnist Ben Joravsky, in a Dec. 13, 2017 article, described you as the “new public face of Rahm Emanuel’s school closing policies.” He writes basically that having a CPS leader of color in the position would make it easier for the mayor to close schools and divert property taxes from the district to a near north side TIF district to help lure Amazon. How do you respond to that kind of criticism? JKJ: I don’t think responding directly to that sort of commentary is helpful? You can talk to people throughout the city, of all

A NEW DIRECTION: Dr. Janice K. Jackson, left, said that she’ll confront the issue of school closings from a neighborhood-specific perspective. backgrounds about what a quality school looks like. I approach this from a quality standpoint. Just because I’m black doesn’t mean I don’t have an opinion about what a quality school looks like. There are times to close schools and there are times to reinvest. I don’t play race politics. I’m not a politician. With me, it’s always about quality education. We have to be able to look parents in the face and tell them that their kids are getting a quality education in their schools. Parents and students are leaving communities, they’re voting with their feet. It’s my job as CEO to do something about this. My approach will be specific to the neighborhood. AWN: What are your thoughts on the possibility of the city replacing the school board model, whose members are appointed by the mayor, with an elected school board? JKJ: CPS is very different than it was 30 years ago, when [former U.S. Education Secretary William John Bennett] said that this was the worst district in the country. I was attending CPS when he made that comment. This district has improved dramatically since then [and] it improved under mayoral control and under an appointed school board. When we debate the merits of an elected vs. an appointed board, we have to ask whether or not we can make this transition while maintaining stability and preventing the distractions that other districts are plagued with when elections come around. School districts are already politicized
enough. [And an elected school board] would create more politicization and I’m not comfortable with that. AWN: The Chicago Sun-Times pointed out that “for the first time since former Mayor Richard M. Daley took control of the city’s schools in 1995, CPS has, in Jackson, a homegrown alumna who also has taught in the school system she’ll lead.” Talk a bit about your time growing up in CPS. JKJ: My experience as a student was very positive. I came from a family where all of my siblings did well in school. My teachers knew what they were getting with Jackson students. We were afforded every opportunity you can imagine. I didn’t realize until I became a teacher that I benefitted from a two-tiered system that people complain about so much in CPS. There’s a perception that the district works for some people and not for everyone else. One of the things that motivates me is providing those opportunities for kids who don’t always get them. When I make decisions, I’m always thinking about bridging that opportunity gap. I went to neighborhood schools and I know there are smart kids everywhere — they’re equally distributed throughout the city, but the opportunity is not. I hope that when my time in this position is done, people will say that I created more opportunity for students throughout the city. CONTACT: michael@austinweeklynews.com

DOROTHY GATERS Growing the dream from page 1 tournament, which features top high school girls and boys basketball teams from across the state, between Jan. 13 and Jan. 15 (Martin Luther King, Jr. Day). Each team in the tournament was decked out in Nike’s new apparel and footwear that’s part of the company’s new EQUALITY campaign. According to Nike Communications Manager Hetér Myers, EQUALITY is “an initiative in which Nike encourages people to take the fairness and respect they see in sport and translate them off the field.” Along with select apparel and footwear, the initiative also includes a series of short promotional films — the first of which was released last year featuring LeBron James and Serena Williams, and which aired during the Grammys and during the NBA All-Star weekend. The short film that Nike released this year featuring Gaters will air on Nike Chicago social channels. Just seconds into Gaters’ moving soliloquy, another side of the city comes into focus — the side where Gater has coached and where her players battle on the courts for cham-

JUST DO IT: Marshall coach Dorothy Gaters, featured in a short Nike ad. pionships and off of the courts for survival; where streets and blocks cry out for investment.
“Equality,” Gaters says. “It looks like boys and girls playing together — black and white; kids interacting; men and women getting the same salaries. There’s work for the greater benefit, which is our children. And I think as coaches, we have a responsibility to remind them, people made a lot of sacrifices for you to be able to participate in this sport at a higher level.” This isn’t the first time that Gaters has been featured in a Nike advertising campaign. In 1997, she was cast in the role of coach Pamela Scott in a 10-part ad campaign called “A Championship Season.” According to a Chicago Tribune article published at the time, the campaign “follows the fictional Charlestown Cougars during a girls high school basketball season.” The ad, the Tribune explained, was to be shown during “women’s sports events, prime-time programming and such teen-oriented shows as ‘Buggy the Vampire Slayer’ and ‘Moesha’.” Nike spokesperson Kathryn Reith told Tribune reporters at the time that the company “wanted a female coach,” because there “aren’t many opportunities for girls to see women as coaches.” Considering that perspective, Gaters’ most recent starring role in a Nike production is something of a bookend. “The dream has to grow,” Gaters says during the EQUALITY film.

A novel way to honor MLK
Jahmal Cole’s #MLKDayChallenge urged people to get outside of their neighborhoods By IGOR STUDENKOV Contributing Reporter
As far as Jahmal Cole, founder and head of My Block, My Hood, My City is concerned, there is no better way to celebrate Martin Luther King Day than to encourage everyone to do their part to push back against what the acclaimed civil rights leader came to Chicago to fight — residential segregation. For the past few years, Cole has been using his nonprofit to take teenagers to neighborhoods they wouldn’t otherwise set foot in, with hopes of shattering their preconceptions and inspiring them to see new opportunities. Last weekend, he launched what he hopes is the first annual MLK Day Challenge. The challenge encouraged everyone to use the Martin Luther King Day weekend to go to neighborhoods they wouldn’t normally visit, and check out local landmarks and businesses, and share insights about them on social media. Cole said that he hoped that the event would help break down barriers and encourage Chicagoans to see that they have more in common with each other than they think. As My Block, My Hood, My City website explains, the organization believes that kids ages 12 to 18 can benefit from stepping outside their communities. They get a chance to see businesses, landmarks and institutions they would otherwise never see and talk to people they would have otherwise never met. The experience, Cole said, expands their worldview, shatters negative preconceptions and lets them imagine the possibilities that otherwise wouldn’t have occurred to them.

ANOTHER BLOCK: Jahmal Cole, far right, with participants in his #MLKDayChallenge. The nonprofit places particular focus on teens from communities that don’t have many resources. “These teens have not ventured outside of their immediate surroundings, both literally and figuratively,” the website stated. “They have not traveled outside of their block; have not dreamed beyond their neighborhood. They haven’t been afforded the opportunity to dream bigger than their
immediate environment, and therefore, their future aspirations and goals are similarly limited.” To address this, My Block, My Hood, My City has been organizing monthly tours that take teens to destinations all over Chicago. The idea wasn’t just to show different places, but to show that all those places are in the same city. The organization teamed up with several other nonprofits, including By the Hand Club for Kids, which has a location in Austin. The MLK Day Challenge was an outgrowth of the organization’s mission. Cole said that he’s been thinking about doing something like this for the past few years, but the execution didn’t happen until this year. “Since Martin Luther King Jr., was about things being integrated, being interconnected, it made sense to do things on this day,” he said. Cole put together a list of destinations in Chatham, where he lives, as well as North Lawndale, Bronzeville, Humboldt Park, Hyde Park, Pilsen, South Shore, Washington Park and West Ridge. He said he wanted to have a mix of neighborhoods from different parts of the city. He chose West Ridge, the only North Side neighborhood on the list, because its Devon Avenue commercial strip is the center of Chicago’s Indian-American community. “We can’t afford to go to India, but we can afford to go to Devon Avenue,” he said. “When you go there, you think it’s in another county. It’s close, but people think it’s far away.” In every neighborhood, he recommended cultural destinations and businesses that he knew for sure would be open on Martin Luther King Day. In North Lawndale, he chose Douglas Park, the Firehouse Community Arts Center and El Gran Burrito. To participate in the challenge, residents had to go to any of the locations at any point between Jan. 13 and Jan.15 and post about the experience on social media with the hashtag #MLKDayChallege.

I
Stop allowing others to define us!
hope and pray that the older I get, the wiser I get. Yet my wisdom is self-proclaimed. It is an acknowledgment that I profess simply because I have lived 63 years and have grown in thought from when I was 36. My 63 years encompass some of the most significant events for black people in this country and in the world. It is a timeframe during which this country went from Jim Crow laws setting the state standard to federal Civil Rights laws. I have seen television go from the rare phenomenon of a black person making an appearance to viewing black as a given and everyday occurrence. I have watched Chicago morph from a bungalow belt, which was once code for “ethnic white,” to one where at least two-thirds of the city now consists of black and brown residents. I can remember when Austin was a white enclave that black people longed to be able to live in. My perspective on race and racism has been molded by all of these experiences. I can think back to my childhood and see the limitations that perceived racism played on my life. One example I am always referencing is my wanting to take ice skating lessons as a kid. I can remember checking the yellow pages for ice skating rinks. The only one I found nearby was Rainbow Ice and Roller Skating Rink. Yes, the now defunct skating rink was also an ice rink. But even as a child, I knew that 4800 North on Clark Street was not an address where black people lived or even considered venturing into in the early 1960s. So I neither tried nor pushed the issue. I accepted that I wouldn’t be able to have those kinds of lessons and in reality my mom probably couldn’t have afforded them anyway. As I grew older and began to go into young adulthood, college was the refuge I encountered to expand my horizons. Circle (UIC) didn’t have a massive number of black students. And those who were
there tended to self-limit to preordained niches of study. I remember the majority of blacks being physical education majors. I had one friend who majored in accounting, having graduated from Jones Commercial. Being one of two blacks (the other was Cuban) in the Spanish Department allowed me to interact with my white peers on an equal playing field. Most were not buddies, but we did have a certain level of camaraderie. If my being black was an issue for them, I didn’t let it bother me, nor did I dwell on it. I trudged on. Transcending how I had limited myself as a kid over ice skating has been the foundation for how I view life. I don’t allow others to define me. That’s the foundation of my feeling regarding this past week’s H&M controversy. You know the one over the “Coolest Monkey in the Jungle” hoodie. It was worn by a very dark-complexioned, young, black male model. I admit I cringed when I first saw the picture. My mind drew up comparisons whites have made between black people and monkeys for centuries. But my older and wiser side began to question: Just what is wrong with monkeys? They are highly intelligent. They are cunning and clever. There is little about them to take issue with other than the accusation that we look like them. And some of us do because if we believe in science and evolution, all humans developed from some species of ape. Lastly, monkeys are known for picking up their poop and throwing it at visitors to the zoo. That is a lasting message should it ever land on you. I also got to pondering, Just who would buy that hoodie? Most black people wouldn’t, so it would be mostly white kids running around in a hoodie comparing themselves to monkeys!

A celebration fit for a King West Suburban Medical Center honored icon’s legacy with healthy lessons, STEM awareness By IGOR STUDENKOV Contributing Reporter
For the past few years, sixth- through eighth-graders from Austin’s Ella Flagg Young Elementary Schools have been singing and dancing at Oak Park’s West Suburban Medical Center on Martin Luther King Day. But this year, the hospital and the school decided to do something different. They teamed up with the American Heart Association, River Forest Medical Campus and the Westside Pastors Coalition for AIDS to put together a health fair. The organizers hope that it will teach kids how to take care of themselves and their families, and potentially get them interested in careers in the healthcare industry. Dr. Marta Alvarado, West Suburban’s director of community services, said that one of Ella Flagg Young’s major priorities is getting students interested in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) subjects. “I told children when they came in that we want to see them come back as doctors, nurses, health technicians,” she said. “I hope [the kids] will learn and remember King’s legacy and the words that he spoke,” said Rev. Stanley Stephens, the president of the Westside Pastors Coalition for AIDS. “I don’t want it to die out. You don’t want those kids taking for granted that a lot of freedom they enjoy is because of what he did.” Crystal Young, Ella Flagg Young’s principal, said that the fair will allow students to not only learn useful information, but to pass that information on to their family and friends. She said that she “absolutely” wanted the fair to become a regular event. “I think it’s a good idea,” she said. The organizers set up free health screenings, including blood pressure screenings,

Circulate black dollars in black communities
O
nce and for all, let’s get this straight. America has gotten out of the Black people business! No help is coming from Washington, D.C. No help is coming from state government. No significant help is coming from city and county municipal governments. No useful help is coming from foundations and corporations. We, Black people, are on our own. And, really, for centuries, we were always on our own. Most jobs that Blacks once had in America are now done by computers, machines and robots. Many of the other jobs that we used to have are now taken by immigrants or have grown beyond our collective skill sets. Black leadership is still using protest tactics and methodologies from the 1950’s to address 2018 economic problems. Those tactics won’t work. There is no more cotton for Black people to pick, and but our leadership teaches us to have a cotton picking and sharecropper mentality. Even if Black people continue acquiring wealth at our present rate and White people stop acquiring any additional wealth, it would take 228 years to close the racial

We must learn to use our dollars to reward those who help and support us – and to punish those who don’t.
