Galewood bakery sued for racial bias Plant was target of protests by Oak Park, Chicago activists last year By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor
A West Side man has filed a class action lawsuit against a company he claims engaged in a complicated scheme to avoid hiring African Americans at two of its bakeries, including one it once owned in the Galewood neighborhood. Anthony Stewart claims that Aryzta, LLC, which owned Cloverhill Bakery, 2035 N. Narragansett Ave., before selling the factory to Hostess in February, deliberately avoided hiring black laborers at its Galewood and Cicero plants. Activists from the West Side and Oak Park converged on Cloverhill last year to protest against what they claimed were Aryzta’s many labor violations. The plant makes inexpensive packaged products like honey buns and glazed donuts. According to the lawsuit, filed Aug. 6, Aryzta entered “into a conspiracy with two staffing agencies, Labor Network and Metro Staffing, in order to redirect laborers seeking work assignments from the Aryzta plants to the two staffing agencies and utilize the staffing agencies to segregate out African American laborers and to provide Aryzta with its preferred laborers, Hispanic laborers.” The lawsuit also alleges that Aryzta tried to See LAWSUIT on page 6

Homicides down in Austin
Alderman credits police work and community By BLAIR PADDOCK AustinTalks
Once it was a hot spot for gun violence and drug trafficking, but now Hubbard Park is teeming with drum circles, barbecues and community bonding. What’s happening at Hubbard Park is
happening elsewhere in Austin – which has seen a drop in homicides so far this year compared to 2017. As of Aug. 16, there have been 42 homicides, according to the Chicago Sun-Times homicide database. That’s compared to 49 homicides from Jan. 1 through Aug. 1, 2017, according to the city of Chicago’s data portal. “In the 29th Ward, we’ve seen a huge decrease in the murders halfway through,” said Ald. Chris Taliaferro, who was a sergeant for the Chicago Police Department before being elected to the city council in
2015. “I attribute those successes to hard police work, but more importantly, also our communities getting involved.” Taliaferro attributed the growing bond between officers and community members as a force driving down the violence. There has been higher attendance at CAPS meetings and more people working alongside police to solve crimes. Community members are not only working with police representatives, they are

LAWSUIT
Improvements ahead? from page 1 defraud the federal government by illegally hiding data about the racial composition of its Galewood and Cicero workforces. Companies with more than 100 workers are required to report that information to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. By utilizing the two staffing agencies to hire workers, Aryzta was able to avoid reporting information about its workforce to the EEOC. According to the lawsuit, Aryzta directed Hispanic job applicants looking to work at its plants in Cicero and Galewood to Labor Network, where they would receive work assignments at either of those plants. Black job applicants, the lawsuit claims, were directed to Metro Staffing. During a press conference held Aug. 7 outside of Cloverhill, Stewart said that when he applied to work at Aryzta in the fall of 2016, he was sent to Metro, but never heard back from the company despite his qualifications. Nonetheless, he kept trying. “I was persistent because I knew they were hiring and I knew how you have to be, but they kept telling me that they’d keep my records on file but that they had nothing,” he said. Stewart referenced his vast working experience as a factory manager, warehouse manager, machine operator and licensed forklift driver before noting that he doesn’t have any felonies on his record. “I’m a very friendly person,” Stewart said. “I’m a people person and I believe I would have been an asset to this company.” The lawsuit adds that Stewart “noticed that Hispanic laborers were allowed to fill out an application and immediately be assigned to work even though he and other African American laborers had been in the office longer that day.” Stewart’s attorney, Christopher Williams, with Workers’ Law Office, said Stewart’s experience reflected a pattern and practice of systemic race-based discrimination on the part of Aryzta from 2014 until the company sold the plant to Hostess. At the press conference, Williams said
MICHAEL ROMAIN/Staff
DEMANDS: Activists protest outside of Cloverhill on Aug. 7. that Stewart was so far the only plaintiff in the lawsuit, but he anticipates others will join. Williams said any African American who sought work at Aryzta “either directly or through one of the staffing agencies and wasn’t provided with work” is eligible to sign onto the lawsuit. This isn’t the first lawsuit filed against Aryzta or the first time it has attracted attention for the demographic breakdown of its workforce. Williams said claims in Stewart’s lawsuit are based, in part, on a breach of contract lawsuit filed against the company by Klin Koncepts Consulting Services. According to the Klin lawsuit, Aryzta failed to pay the consulting company because of the latter’s failure to meet efficiency levels. Klin said that those efficiency levels weren’t met due to actions taken by Aryzta that were outside of Klin’s control, such as Aryzta’s strong preference for hiring nonAfrican American laborers and directing its two staffing agencies not to accept black workers at its Galewood and Cicero plants. Late last year, Aryzta officials said that Cloverhill lost 800 workers after federal immigration authorities audited the bakery and came down hard on immigrant workers who did not have sufficient documentation. At the time, Bloomberg reported that the bakery’s immigration issues “led to a 7 percent
decline in Aryzta’s sales from North America in the three months through October.” After that federal enforcement action, activists claimed, Aryzta shed its Hispanic workers and hired many African American workers with little training to replace them. During their protest outside Cloverhill last October, activists from Oak Park and Chicago’s West Side protested what they claimed were the company’s low pay and its racist and unsafe work environment, among other factors. During the Aug. 7 press conference, Williams said Stewart’s class action lawsuit against Aryzta could take years but that it has merit. A similar lawsuit filed against Ferrara Candy Company on behalf of African American workers several years ago, he said, resulted in the company settling for an undisclosed amount of money. The company also implemented a series of changes at its Forest Park plant that led to a significant increase in the number of black workers employed at the plant.
Hostess demands On Aug. 7, the activists also demanded aired a series of grievances about working environments at Cloverhill since Hostess purchased the plant earlier this year.
“Nearly three months later, we continue to suffer discrimination and unfairness,” according to a petition circulated by various activist groups, including Black Workers Matter. “Hostess has yet to stop or remove bad supervisors that caused problems under Aryzta.” The activists demanded “consistency in enforcing policies, including tardiness and break time rules,” the removal of “discrimination or favoritism in job assignments, rotations and scheduling,” respect “for seniority in job-bidding and promotion” and that Hostess conduct anti-racism training run by the EEOC for all of the plant’s managers and supervisors. In a statement delivered to activists on Aug. 7 by Matt Hall, the vice president of human resources for Hostess, the company noted that it has been working with employees, union members and residents since acquiring the plant. “While we cannot speak to the practices and principles of our previous owners, our six month track record clearly demonstrates our commitment,” the statement reads. According to company officials, Hostess has poured around $30 million in planned capital investments, such as equipment upgrades, at the plant; converted Aryzta employees who were once temporary workers with no benefits to “permanent active full-time employees;” and provided “welcome bonuses” for all full-time active employees, among other improvements the company touted. But at the press conference, Dan Giloth, a project director with the Coalition Against Segregation of Employees (CASE), said that Hostess had not implemented some of the activist’s major demands, such as the antidiscriminatory training. “We simply want to know if the company will [conduct the EEOC training],” Giloth told Hall. “We think it’s a reasonable ask. It’s been done in other places and we think it will benefit the company, the managers and the workers. We’re looking for a simple yes or no.” Hall said that Hostess has “engaged with a third party” and “spoken with the EEOC,” but when pressed by Giloth to answer whether or not the EEOC training had actually been scheduled, Hall said it had not before saying that the plant could not currently accommodate the training due to a production backlog.

Taking responsibility for Obama’s legacy
W
hen it comes to black people, being “the first” or “the only one” has its unique set of challenges, neither of which makes taking on that role easy. A person in that role does not have a one-situation-fits-all landscape. And although each experience is different, there is a richness in the commonality. There will be “highs” and there will be “lows.” But traversing that path leaves footsteps that others can and should follow. How does the black community reward/honor former President Barack Obama for his monumental job of taking on the presidency and doing it well and without scandal for eight years? He had his supporters and he had his detractors (and distractors). Then again, every president does. However, his black skin gave him extenuating circumstances/nuances that other presidents didn’t have to address. And those of us who have the same melanin in our skin need to honor him for that. History will be establishing Obama’s Legacy now and in the years to come. For black people, we need to create our own version of his legacy to honor him. Thus I suggest: O.B.A.M.A - Our Blackness Accountability: Minors and Adults. There was a time when we as black people valued what we did individually as it reflected on the collective. I am of the opinion that those days need to return. As a community, black people need to begin to hold ourselves and each other account-
able. I know that “accountability” has been hijacked and has become a word that is almost derogatory. However, the excuse-filled reasons have done nothing but give those who want to create havoc continuous alibis. This has to again become unacceptable. Using the acronym O.B.A.M.A gives us an opportunity to not only honor him but also live up to the trail-blazing path he established. Rare is the person who can look at Obama’s accomplishment and declare that they wouldn’t want it for their child. He was raised by a single parent. Father left at an early age. Grandparents helped in the rearing. Education became his salvation and his mantra. How do we change it so our young people opt to follow that path and choose it over the street life? We hold them and each other accountable. We cannot afford a “Me” society. Every person has a role to play. From childhood to old age, there’s an obligation for one to the other. The importance of this cannot be denied. And children who came of age during his presidency who continue to show the negative behaviors of the past, prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that there is an urgent need for us to step in and make changes. Who wants to join in and make O.B.A.M.A a reality?

Austin church gives out $20K in scholarships
Greater St. John gave out the money to 17 students By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor
Earlier this month, an Austin church gave away $20,000 to 17 college students during an Aug. 3 scholarship concert. The event, held at Greater St. John Bible Church, 1256 N. Waller Ave., featured gospel acts such as Sir The Baptist and Lillian Lloyd of Ricky Dillard and New G. Greater St. John’s pastor, Rev. Ira Acree, said that 16 students were selected to receive $1,000 scholarships while one student received a $1,500 scholarship during the annual service. Acree also picked random college students from the audience to surprise them with monetary gifts of at least $100. Acree said that the scholarship program has operated since 2001 and has given out
more than $320,000 to Austin area students since it was created. “If we are going to stem the tide on the violence, every institution must make an investment in our neighborhoods,” Acree said. “Government can’t do it alone! Everyone needs some skin in the game. I’m grateful to our members and partners for their sacrifice.” The ceremony took place a day after Acree helped organize an anti-violence march that shut down Lake Shore Drive. “Pastor Ira Acree and Greater St. John are a role model for urban churches across the country,” said Rev. Gregory Seal Livingston, one of the lead organizers of the march and the president of the Coalition for a New Chicago. “Acree has the Bible in one hand and the newspaper in the other, blessing his people with what some might call a Reality Christianity – in other words, one day he’s marching for resources for the marginalized and the next day he’s blessing our youth with the gift of education.”

The Hatchery unveils advisory board
The 17-member board will help the food biz incubator connect with community By IGOR STUDENKOV Contributing Reporter
The Hatchery food business incubator, which is scheduled to open its physical location in East Garfield Park by the end of the year, officially released the names of West Side residents who will make up its Community Advisory Board. The advisory board was set up to help figure out the best ways the Hatchery can benefit community residents and local entrepreneurs. The move came after a significant number of East Garfield Park residents complained that the entities involved with the Hatchery didn’t do enough to reach out to the community. At the time, the residents suggested that the money going into the Hatchery would be better used to help businesses that are already there. According to the Garfield Park Community Council’s Aug. 9 newsletter, the advisory board is made up of 17 members. In addition to setting up the Advisory Board, the Hatchery had since put together a fact sheet detailing ways in which the food incubator would benefit West Side residents and businesses. It also launched several educational events geared specifically toward West Side entrepreneurs. As previously reported by Austin Weekly News, the Hatchery grew out of Industrial Council of Northwest Chicago’s desire to develop a business incubator specifically geared toward food-related businesses — something its existing business incubator at Hatchery Chicago 320 N. Damen Avenue

The current incubator is being used as a temporary site for the Hatchery while its permanent home is being built on the southeast corner of Kedzie Avenue and Lake Street. The Hatchery is co-owned by ICNC and Accion Chicago, with IFF, a non-profit lender, acting as a third co-owner while the building is under construction. Once it opens, it will also serve as Accion Chicago’s headquarters and Garfield Park Farmers Market’s year-round home. In an April, Accion Chicago CEO Brad McConnell said that the advisory council, “will be in place to give us advice [on how] to use the opportunities this building creates to maximize value to the community members. They will be

advising Hatchery Chicago and the owners.” According to the board membership application obtained through the link in GPCC’s newsletter, the board will meet monthly. The newsletter described the members as “the main points of contact to and from their neighborhoods and the Hatchery,” adding that “they will bring information from their neighborhoods to the Hatchery and bring back information from the Hatchery to their neighborhoods.” The application said that the Hatchery was looking for community residents who have a network of of people they know in their neighborhoods. It also indicated that the food incubator was looking for people who were “committed to helping the Hatchery succeed in its mission of growing small businesses and helping local residents get jobs with those businesses.” Among other things, the application asked the candidates what they think the Hatchery can do to connect West Side residents with employment and business opportunities, as well as what Hatchery can do to best benefit the neighborhood. The Hatchery announced the Community Advisory Council membership on July 18, on the Hatchery Chicago Neighbors Facebook page. A look at the members that were selected reveals a wide range of backgrounds and connections that extend throughout the West Side. For instance, Vanessa Stokes is an artist and a project coordinator for Austin Coming Together. David Blackmon is a local chef who works as a program manager for Chicago Public Schools’ Hospitality & Culinary Arts program. Angela Taylor manages the Garfield Park Farmers Market while E. Bernard Jennings serves as the executive director of the North Lawndale-based Lawndale Business Renaissance Association. CONTACT: michael@austinweeklynews.com

As the spirit moved Aretha
The famous singer’s life was a testament to grace By MICHAEL ROMAIN
I

n 1958, Ralph Ellison wrote that there are “certain women singers who possess, beyond all the boundaries of our admiration for their art, an uncanny power to evoke our love.” Standing “regal within the bright isolation of the stage, their subtlest effects seem meant for us and us alone; privately, as across the intimate space of our own living rooms,” Ellison continued. “And when we encounter the simple dignity of their immediate presence, we suddenly ponder the mystery of human greatness.” Ellison could have been describing many women singers; however, the essay wherein he wrote that passage was about the great gospel singer Mahalia Jackson. What can easily get lost in the transcontinental sea of tributes and obituaries that has been roiling since the passing of the great Aretha Franklin, who died Aug. 16 at the age of 76, is the fact that Aretha sprang directly from a tradition of black greatness rooted in a specific context of which I am a proud product — the Baptist church. Aretha Franklin, the daughter of the great Baptist preacher, C.L. Franklin, was mentored by Mahalia and Clara Ward, both Baptists. Mahalia, in turn, took her inspiration from the great Blues singer Bessie Smith, herself the daughter of a Baptist preacher. James Baldwin, once a boy preacher, said he first listened to Bessie sing while in the mountains of Switzerland, where he was working on his first, and most acclaimed, novel, Go Tell It on the Mountain. Bessie, “through her tone and cadence,” helped Baldwin remember a part of himself that he had repressed. She helped him confront, and eventually overcome, the shame of being black — one of the reasons he was finding it difficult to finish the novel. “I was ashamed of the Blues, ashamed of Jazz, and, of course, ashamed of watermelon: all of these stereotypes that the country inflicts on Negroes, that we all eat watermelon or we all do nothing but sing the Blues,” Baldwin told Studs Terkel in 1961. “I was afraid of all that; and I ran from it.” Baldwin, I think it’s rather important to note, grew up Pentecostal. I grew up in a century-old Baptist church in suburban Maywood, where my late pastor would often recount from the pulpit funny stories of gun-toting deacons and cussing saints and “hard drink.” I never got the sense that liquor or profanity was allowed (though the pastor often boasted of his many guns); there was, however, the sense that these prohibitions were not quite as central to the sacred liturgy as they were within that other great black religious tradition — the Church of God in Christ (a Pentecostal denomination), which is more firmly anchored in the mores of upright and straight-laced living.
As a native Baptist, I grew up admiring (coveting even) the rich musical tradition of the COGIC church. There was a COGIC church located right across the street from my Maywood church and I must admit that the music blaring from that COGIC church was, well, better, in my opinion. My admiration extended to many of the modern gospel music icons that have roots in COGIC — from the Winans to the Clark Sisters. Aretha’s death, however, has strangely enough allowed me a point of pride as a Baptist. I’ve staked my own claim to her music after realizing just how essential the denomination may have been to her unique musical legacy. I think it’s fair to wonder whether an Aretha Franklin could have been produced in the Holiness tradition of COGIC, the church where, as Baldwin’s experience shows, the repressed shame and fear of the black body was much more pronounced; where, I was told in my youth, women were barred from even entering the sanctuary if they so much as wore pants or skirts above their knees. Of course, you can only pursue this line of questioning so far before being forced to confront the particularities of Aretha’s life — the unique way the profane and the sacred intermixed in the personality of her father (a philandering preacher whose ravenous sexual appetite reportedly drove Aretha’s mother away when the daughter was only a toddler); or the fact that Aretha, the child prodigy with a Holy gift, got pregnant twice before she turned 15 years old. Still, I think Aretha’s rise to secular stardom was made smooth by the approval of her father, who famously predicted that his little girl would sing before kings and queens, and by the fact that she didn’t have to face the wrath of COGIC bishops and mothers, as was the case with Mattie Moss Clark. After Mattie willed her daughters to a small taste of crossover commercial success during a breathtaking 1983 Grammy Awards performance, she was told by COGIC leadership that she couldn’t perform with her daughters again. Aretha’s Baptist background also meant that she was more closely affiliated with the prophetic, social justice-oriented theology of Baptist preachers like Rev. Martin Luther King, one of her biggest fans. Unbound by the prohibitions of Holiness or by an overbearing allegiance to a specific denomination’s rules while also rooted in the black prophetic tradition, Aretha was able to cross the border of sacred and secular unlike any other artist before her or since. As Cinque Henderson writes in the New York Times, Aretha, through “a thousand double entendres, throaty growls and shouts of ecstasy,” injected “sexual need into gospel music. “In so doing, she made herself the forebear of everyone from Madonna and Beyoncé to Adele […] Other musicians, like Ray Charles and Sam Cooke, had mixed the two, but no one blended the sacred and the sexual quite as Ms. Franklin did.” And yet, Aretha and her father, C.L., were, despite their well-known worldliness, undoubtedly in and of the black church.

SOUL QUEEN: Aretha Franklin, top, singing at the 2009 inauguration of President Obama. Franklin, above, in 1968. Franklin right, waiting to perform at the White House, in 2015 have any misgivings about this notion, just listen to the preacher’s rendition of “The Old Ship of Zion” and his daughter’s “Take My Hand, Precious Lord” and pay attention to how the spirit moves in you. To understand the effect of this interplay between secular and sacred, watch Aretha’s electrifying performance of “Natural Woman” at the Kennedy Center Honors in 2015, which made this country’s first black president shed a tear or two. “There is nothing expressly religious about ‘Natural Woman,’” Henderson writes. “But it is, of course, inevitably haunted by the verse from Paul’s letter to the Corinthians about a natural man, who ‘receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God … neither can he know them.’
“It may be that a natural man cannot know the things of God, but it was the radical gospel of Aretha that first made known that a particular type of woman could. That a natural woman can know God and erotic longing, ravenous spiritual and sexual need all at once, and that they can live uproariously in one buoyant, life-giving body. That body is gone now, but the voice, and the songs it gave us, are now a matter of permanent human record.” So is the lesson of Aretha’s humanity, perhaps best distilled in another passage from Paul’s letter to the Corinthians. “My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.” CONTACT: thevillagefreepress@gmail.com
