Black-owned manufacturer plans West Side growth The Will Group to build 400,000-sq.-ft. addition in North Lawndale By IGOR STUDENKOV Contributing Reporter
MICHAEL ROMAIN/Staff
STILL FIGHTING: Alice Norris, middle, passes out a flyer advertising a $5,000 award for information leading to the arrest of the person who murdered her daughter, LaKesia Marshall, in 1993. Norris returned to the site of the murder for the first time in decades last month.
A mournful homecoming — with a purpose Alice Norris returned to Austin on Oct. 26 to find information on her daughter’s 1993 murder By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor
On Oct. 26, Alice Norris did something she hadn’t done in decades — return to the site where her 14-year-old daughter, Rolanda LaKesia Marshall, was murdered. Marshall was shot in the head on Aug. 28, 1993 while sitting with a friend inside of a
Beefee restaurant on the corner of North and Lockwood in Austin. In prior media reports, Norris said that her daughter had been conversing with a young man who was the intended target. The young man was hit, but recovered. The friend was unharmed. Marshall, however, died while in a coma, nine days after she was shot.
Norris, who lived just blocks west of the restaurant at the time her daughter was killed, has since moved to Oak Park. She hadn’t been to this spot in years, she said. Twenty-five years later, Norris revisited the emotions she felt in the days and weeks after her daughter’s murder. See ALICE NORRIS on page 4

The Will Group, a black-owned electric power equipment manufacturer that already has a presence on the West Side, is looking to build a 400,000-square-foot plant in North Lawndale at 825 S. Kilpatrick Ave. The company and the City of Chicago are currently in the process of finalizing a deal that would allow the company to buy a 3.3acre site. Once the sale is completed, The Will Group expects the construction to take around 12 months. The company expects to hire 14 people. Jessica Davis, the company’s chief operating officer, said that they will hire local and will work with area non-profits to hire exoffenders. She said that the company is well aware that criminal records are a significant barrier to getting jobs, and believes that exoffenders who served time for non-violent crimes deserve a chance to work. The Will Group was founded 33 years ago. Davis described it as a black-owned, familyowned enterprise. It manufactures lighting and power equipment, and, most recently, has gotten into making solar panels. The Wheaton-based company has an office in the Loop and a manufacturing facility in Austin at 5261 W. Harrison, not far from the site of the new facility. According to a City of Chicago press release, the property in Austin has been vaSee THE WILL GROUP on page 5

Austin residents chime in on CPD’s consent decree
Community hones in on police interaction with youths, cultural sensitivity By CONNOR S. CARYNSKI AustinTalks
A top Chicago Police official says the department is willing to do whatever it takes to work with residents and improve training practices. “There’s no us versus them in this,” Kevin Johnson, deputy chief of the Education and Training Academy, said at a recent community forum. “We need your ideas, and we need your help. “Whatever we can do to solve our problems, that’s what we need to do. We can’t point fingers anymore, we need to put on paper what we can do to make our community safer.” The forum, held Oct. 25 and hosted by the 25th Police District, was required under the pending CPD consent decree to allow community input on the ways officers are trained. The decree, drafted by Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan’s office, is designed to reform training, hiring, use of force, community policing and other practices. Hosted at the Heritage International Community Church at 5320 W. North Ave., about 40 community members selected three areas of police training they would like to see adjusted and drafted comments to be considered during the decree’s determination. Community members chose to focus on police interaction with youth, cultural sensitivity training and awareness, and how police approach citizens. One proposal from the community to reform officer training included providing officers with additional training on how to approach citizens with respectful language and tones. Other suggestions included additional programs for officers to maintain

SCRUTINY: Community members discuss the CPD consent decree during a meeting on Oct. 25 in the 25th Police District. They honed in on cultural sensitivity training, among other factors. their mental health and more opportunities for officers to build relationships with young people through school-visit programs. Suggestions from the community will be brought to U.S. District Judge Robert M. Dow Jr. as he considers the decree for approval. Earlene Green, an Austin resident since 1979, said over her time in the neighborhood she has seen the relationship between police and community become less friendly. Green said she was happy for the opportunity for residents to give their input about how officers are trained. “This was great,” she said. “It was a chance to voice your opinion and say how things have changed over time, and the thing I really liked was that the other participants really listened. It seemed like we were all on
the same page on some of these issues.” One suggestion Green said she proposed in her group was the implementation of a curriculum designed to teach young people about how to behave when being stopped by the police. She said many people have never been taught how to interact with officers and can appear aggressive or hostile when they really aren’t doing anything wrong. Deputy Chief Rick Contreras, who helped organize last week’s forum, said he was happy with the suggestions his team has received and looks forward to their implementation. “It’s a good exercise of people’s rights when they have the chance to add their input to these matters,” Contreras said. “The people here are going to see how they’ve
changed things here today when they start seeing the difference out on the streets.” When asked whether he had noticed negative attitudes from officers about the implementation of the consent decree, particularly within the Fraternal Order of Police union, Contreras said no one likes change, but if officers want to do their jobs, they will do so within the new mandates. During other forums held elsewhere in Chicago, some officers have voiced concerns that its approval will inhibit officers from doing their jobs. Contreras said more community meetings will be planned through November and potentially through December. CONTACT: austintalks.org@gmail.com
said. “I never went inside of the restaurant before she was killed and I have never been [in the space] since,” she said. “Today is bittersweet and to come back home and to see all the changes over here, but to still know that the same kind of craziness is going on … these young people are shooting and killing each other at will and I’ve never understood why they are doing it.” Norris is a member of Purpose over Pain, a group for parents who have lost their children to gun violence. She said the group regularly canvasses communities where the murders of their children are still unsolved. Father Michael Pfleger, of St. Sabina, offers a $5,000 award for information leading
to an arrest. As she stood on the corner, the temperature dropping to a frigid fall chill, Norris handed out flyers advertising the award to passersby. “Unfortunately, many cases are not solved, which is pitiful to me,” Norris said. “It’s just a shame and it seems like it never stops. I would never have thought I’d still be dealing with this issue.” Norris said that when she first moved to the area, her greatest fear for her daughter was crossing North Avenue. By the time Marshall died, Norris said that she suffered through another anxiety — one born of silence. “Anytime a child is killed, it should be an outrage. When my daughter was killed
there was really no outrage, all the outrage came from me,” she said. “On this block, from Laramie to Central, there were about five or six churches … none of them came out and did anything or said anything to me, and I knew they knew it, because everybody knew of the little girl shot in the Beefee restaurant.” Norris, a breast cancer survivor, said that she’s now on a one-woman mission to get justice for her daughter. Time, she said, is of the essence. “I want to find out who murdered her before I leave here,” she said. CONTACT: michael@austinweeklynews.com

EXPANSION PLANS: Employees of The Will Group, a black-owned manufacturer with a facility in Austin. The company is planning to expand its footprint on the West Side.
THE WILL GROUP Big plans
from page 1 cant for the past 15 years. Although valued at $440,000, The Will Group is buying it for $5.5 million. Davis said that the company has not received any financial assistance. According to the city’s press release, the new facility will primarily be used by The Will Group’s Lyons View Manufacturing and Supply subsidiary, but other subsidiaries —namely Electrical Resource Management, Lighting Solutions of Illinois, and TWiG Technologies — will use the building as well. The facility will “manufacture smart LED light fixtures, solar panels, capacitor banks, reclosers, and other electrical products.” Josh Davis, The Will Group’s president, states in the city’s release that combining all of the subsidiaries under one roof will help the company. ‘“By consolidating our production resources, this project will be key to The Will Group’s continued success and expansion beyond the traditional boundaries of the lighting business,” he said. Jessica Davis said that the new facility will have more space than the existing Austin facility. And while they rent the Austin space, they will own the new facility’s land and the building outright. She added that they would still use the Austin facility once the new facility is up and running. Ald. Michael Scott (24th), whose ward includes the site, said that he has been actively pushing to create jobs by persuading companies to develop long-vacant lots in the
traditionally industrial portions of North Lawndale, which is why he supports the project. “We are taking vacant lots and turning them into viable community anchors for the West Side,” he said. “Working together with the city, our community leaders and strong business partners like The Will Group, we are transforming the West Side and bringing more jobs to this community.” The press release indicates that the facility will employ a total of 34 people, 14 of whom will be new hires. “We like to hire local, we want to create jobs, because we want to make sure that we’re not just creating jobs, we’re creating communities,” Davis said, adding that hiring “chronically unemployed” and exoffenders will be a priority. “We believe in giving second chances to non-violent offenders and helping them get jobs locally,” Davis said. She said The Will Group will be working with Metropolitan Family Services, Ald. Scott’s office and the North Lawndale Community Coordinating Council. Davis said that The Will Group and the city are still working on finalizing the sale. “We hope to be done pretty soon, so we can break ground before the end of year,” she said. Davis said that they hope to have the facility up and running “next year.” When pressed for a more specific timeline, she said that they are operating under an assumption that construction would take around 12 months – though they hope to have it finished quicker than that. Davis added that she expects environmental remediation as the biggest challenge and that it may affect the timetable. CONTACT: igorst3@hotmail.com

The Farm to table movement reaches North Lawndale
Community members can pick up fresh produce at Lawndale Farm Stand until Nov. 15
GET IT FRESH: The Homan Rails Farm, located on a currently unused portion of a railroad embankment, is managed by Gardeneers, a nonprofit based in North Lawndale.
By IGOR STUDENKOV Contributing Reporter
For the next few Thursdays, people from North Lawndale and all across Chicago will be able to stop by the Nichols Tower parking lot, 906 S. Homan Ave. to pick up fresh vegetables that have been grown less than a block away. The Lawndale Farm Stand is a collaboration between Gardeneers, a North Lawndale based non-profit, and DRW College Prep charter school. The idea is to give DRW students a hands-on learning experience while giving community residents an opportunity to get their hands on fresh produce. Although the farm stand will close after Nov. 15, the two entities are already trying to figure out a way to keep something similar going year-round. Gardeneers works to help schools throughout Chicago create and sustain community gardens. The idea is to teach students about healthy foods and generally encourage more healthy foods for communities in the food deserts. Among other things, the non-profit manages Homan Rails Farm, which, as the name suggests, is located on a currently unused portion of a railroad embankment south of Nichols Tower and DRW school. Sandy Tran, a department associate with the Noble charter schools network, which DRW school is part of, said that the farm stand was a logical extension of the work Gardeneers were already doing with schools throughout Chicago. “They have existing farm stand programs with other schools that they partner with and saw the value it brings to students who are involved and the positive impact it has on the community,” she said. “Since Gardeneers work closely with our DRW College Prep,
IGOR STUDENKOV/ Contributor
they wanted to provide our students with a chance to learn about entrepreneurship and a platform to earn community service hours through the farm stand program.” The funding for the program came through Public Health Institute of Metropolitan Chicago’s Healthy Seed 2.0 grant. Tran explained that Selma Sims, the manager of Homan Rail Farm, and Erica Allen, DRW’s 9th Grade science teacher, developed a curriculum where students learn about biology while working at the Homan Rails Farm. “Along with the science class, Gardeneers provides an after school enrichment program to DRW students,” Tran added. “These students run the farm stand and help with the farm production of fresh food. Gardeneers provide Garden Educators who help
lead programming for students.” While the farm stand officially started running on Oct. 11, Tran said they did a trial run a few weeks earlier and the response was encouraging. “Back in September, the farm stand did a trial run and was able to give away 40 pounds of fresh food,” Tran said. The farm stand operates on Thursdays, between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m., at the parking lot located between Nichols Tower and the Holy Family Ministries School to the east of it. Tran said that the vegetables available at the farm stand are the vegetables that are usually grown in the fall, such as kale, beans, beats, squash, onions, carrots and turnips. Tran said that anyone can stop by to get the food. Although they will be asked for zip codes, Tran said that this is strictly for the
purpose of collecting statistics. Tran said that DRW and the Gardeneers are currently looking to keep both the educational and the after-school components of the program going even after the end of the fall. Tran also mentioned that, on the long run, Gardeneers is working to be able to bring some of the food that grows on Homan Rails Farm into DRW school’s cafeterias. That will require installing an irrigation system and, more importantly, ensure that the farm staff has proper certification. “Gardeneers is currently working with the school’s dining service and other stakeholders on this major piece, which will help DRW students consume the fresh produce during their lunch,” she said.

BIG WEEK
Working on their relationship … on the internet
I
wrote a column about Red Table Talk, the Facebook internet show hosted by Jada Pinkett Smith, soon after it premiered. I was enamored of it immediately. From the initial discussion about how to rear a child when the father has moved on to a new woman, to lost friendships over a silly disagreement when no one can remember what it was about, to the recent interview featuring her husband, Will Smith, it has been one of the most enlightening and captivating talk shows I have seen in a long time. The episode featuring Will Smith was aired in two parts. What fascinated me the most, was the way Will and Jada have created a relationship that works for them. I know it could not have been easy. When they talked about breaking down the stereotypes of the personas they display to the public, then being honest about themselves with each other, it was an eye-opening yet understandable revelation. It is obvious the two of them have worked on their relationship — and not at a superficial level. If you watch the show, Jada often finishes what Will starts to say. And vice versa. They may not refer to their relationship as marriage per se, but the commitment to one another is evident. One of the most fascinating tidbits they discussed was from early on in their relationship, when Will’s son from his first marriage was sitting on his lap and Jada went off on Will using profanity. Will said he pulled her aside and told her that was not going to be the kind of behavior he
would tolerate. As they spoke about it now, it reflects on how easily and readily hurtful words can be when spoken in a heated argument. Name-calling and insulting commentaries become the defense/ offense mechanism toward one another. And in a relationship where two people are supposed to be caring about each other, spewing those words do little to create the kind of bond that is needed for a long-term successful situation. That’s a lesson a lot of people, young and old, need to learn in dealing with loved ones — be they partners, spouses, and especially children! Will did the majority of the talking in this most recent episode. I don’t know if he was attempting to get certain things out into the public realm because the gossip mill about their relationship is always ongoing. However, to know that a man took the time to look at himself and his relationship with his spouse in order to try to get it right, and to understand all that was going on with their relationship, is to be appreciated. All the episodes of Red Table Talk can be found online. Check it out!

East Garfield Park development looks to secure funding By IGOR STUDENKOV Contributing Reporter
The developers behind the proposed East Garfield Park design district are looking for local residents to step up and start the process of opening a food co-op in the development – even while some of the issues surrounding land ownership and funding remained unresolved. As previously reported by Austin Weekly News, Andrea “Siri” Hibbler, head of the Garfield Park Chamber of Commerce, and her husband, Milton Hibbler, are currently working to redevelop the area near Madison Street and 5th Avenue, between California and Francisco Avenues. They plan to build a technology incubator, an art center and mixed-use buildings, with retail on the first floor and affordable apartments on the floors above. On Oct. 30, Siri held a community meeting at Garfield Park’s Golden Dome fieldhouse, 100 Central Park Ave., to update the residents about the project’s progress and give them a chance to ask questions. During the meeting, Hibbler revealed that they were looking to put a co-op grocery store in one of the mixed-use buildings, but that it would be up to the interested residents to work out the logistics necessary to make it happen.
She also revealed that that there is a snag with some of the parcels necessary for the project. One of the property owners wants to lease out his parcels rather than sell them outright, which would drive up the cost of the project. And while Hibbler previously told this newspaper that all of the funding had been secured, during the Oct. 30 meeting, she revealed that this wasn’t quite the case. They have $40 million, enough to complete the first phase of the development, but they still have to raise the remaining two thirds of the project’s total costs. Most of what Hibbler described during the Oct. 30 meeting wasn’t much different from what she outlined during an interview last August. The plan would involve a total of 19 buildings that would be built over the course of three phases. The first, roughly $30 million, phase calls for a mixed-used building at the northwest corner of the California/ Madison intersection and a “design and technology center” business incubator at the southeast corner. The second phase calls for the construction of an art center and gallery space at the southwestern corner intersection, as well as another mixed-used building. The third phase calls for the construction of the remaining mixed-used buildings on the north side of Madison Street, a play lot, a grand entrance sign and a performance
space at 5th Avenue. Hibbler mentioned that the city urged them to prioritize the design center, so they would be building it first. She also said that the Chicago Department of Planning gave them permission to build up to five floors, more than the area zoning would ordinarily allow. Hibbler said that they wanted to do a cooperative grocery store in the development because, while there is a Pete’s Fresh Market location near East Garfield Park’s east border, much of the community doesn’t have a grocery store anywhere near them and she wanted to capitalize on the assets the community already has. ‘We have 34 farms in our community,” she said. “Angela [Taylor] does a great job of putting together [Garfield Park] Farmers market – but we can do better.” The idea, Hibbler said, was to have a market where both residents and employees buy shares. “It’s an opportunity for the community to grow those entrepreneurs that want to buy shares,” she said. At the same time, Hibbler emphasized that they would need residents to volunteer to handle the ins and outs of getting a co-op grocery store up and running. They already have their hands full with the development and it is important for them to ensure that a co-op grocery store was something that the
residents actually want — otherwise, they won’t do it, they said. Hibbler estimated that the development will create 2,000 jobs. Hiring local, she said, is important. She said they hope to start the project in the spring of 2019. And she indicated that she planned on working with the Safer Foundation to hire local residents for construction jobs. The project is estimated to cost $100 million. During the Oct.30 meeting, Hibbler said that one of their funders “committed to giving us $40 million.” While that is enough to cover the cost of the first phase, she said that they still have some ‘ways to go” to cover the rest. And the project could potentially get more expensive. Hibbler and development architect Karl Guider explained that one of the property owners supports the project, but he is only willing to lease the land instead of selling it outright. “The leasing part, that’s when the numbers get skewed, because we have to pay them every month,” Guider said. When asked about transparency, Hibbler promised to regularly update the residents about the project. “I’m going to start having [Garfield Park Chamber of Commerce] meetings every month to let you guys know what’s going on,” she said.

In opioid crisis, the focus on West Side turns to disposal Excellence. At Loretto, organizations announce plan to distribute Deterra pouches By IGOR STUDENKOV Contributing Reporter
The recently formed Illinois branch of the Rx Abuse Leadership Initiative (RALI) officially kicked off the first of several programs to combat opioid addiction and its effects on Chicago’s West Side. During an Oct. 30 press conference held at Loretto Hospital, 645 S. Central, representatives of the organizations taking part in RALI focused on their first priority — disposing of prescription drugs. The organizations will distribute 50,000 Deterra pouches, which neutralize the drugs in the medicine, allowing residents to throw it away safely in any regular garbage bin. They will also encourage residents to take advantage of other ways to safely dispose of their medications, so that there’s less of a chance that someone could get their hands on them and become addicted. While the suburbs and rural America have dominated news related to the country’s opioid epidemic, the concentration of opioid deaths is actually in predominantly black and brown places like the West Side. The initiative is a partnership between Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America (CADCA), a national nonprofit that was originally formed to combat heroin addiction in the 1980s. As retired general Arthur Dean, the organization’s current chair and CEO, explained during the press conference, the nonprofit’s goal is to support the organizations that are already doing work in the area. “CADCA doesn’t go into the City of Chicago and solve their problem,’ he said. “But it helps coalitions [like West Garfield Park Community Stakeholders] and helps them solve the problem.” Dean and others emphasized throughout the conference that there is no silver bullet for addressing the epidemic of opioid addiction. “We take a holistic approach, a multisector approach, to solve this problem,” Dean said. “When we had our first press conference on prescription drugs being a problem in America — that was 16 years ago. We have been working to try and address [the issue] and we’ll continue to do so.” The initiative’s first priority is to dispose of medicine that isn’t needed and that is an addiction risk waiting to happen. “If we can get unwanted medication out of medicine cabinets, we can prevent a lot of problems,” Dean said. ”We want to save lives.”
He said that having Loretto Hospital, West Garfield Park Community Stakeholders and other organizations distribute the pouches for free would go a long way. The Deterra pouches contain powder-like compounds that react to the chemicals in the drugs, rendering them inert. Each pouch can be used to dispose of up to 45 pills, up to six ounces of liquid and up to six patches. To dispose of the medicine, residents need to simply open the bag, put the medicine in, fill the bag with warm water and seal it. After 30 seconds, residents should shake the contents to ensure that the chemicals mix. After that, they can simply throw out the sealed pouch with the regular trash. According to the instructions on the pouch, it shouldn’t be used for medications that come with their own, specific disposal instructions. And due to the nature of the chemicals the pouches contain, they should be kept out of reach of children and pets. As several speakers during the conference noted, the pouches aren’t the only ways to dispose of medicine. Other options include designated drop-off sites, or mixing the medicine with common household trash, such as coffee grids, before tossing it out. Rev Walter Jones, the director of West Garfield Park Community Stakeholders, said that getting the pouches distributed throughout the West Side was important. “What we can do now is to make it easier to dispose of unused medication,” he said. “It is important to understand how these bags can save lives. Three out of four heroin addicts start by using prescription drugs. I believe we can rid the West Side of this epidemic of prescription drugs.” Eric Davis, Executive Director of the BASE Chicago, a West Garfield Park organization that uses combination of sports and academic tutoring to help local teens. He said that opioid deaths were something that teens in the community are exposed to daily and that it was vital that they do something about it. “I want to thank the General [Dean] for bringing this to Chicago, but especially the West Side of Chicago,” he said. “If you know your baseball terminology, this epidemic need a rally.” CONTACT: igorst3@hotmail.com

Missing Dr. Donda West By DR. RHONDA SHERROD
M
Contributor
y job in the legal field was demanding, but my love for great literature overwhelmed the intricate logistics of getting to Chicago State University a few evenings a week. Plus, I wanted my curriculum to include a rigorous examination of the stunning works of people like James Baldwin, Toni Morrison and Richard Wright. Chicago State presented an opportunity to study under Haki Madhubuti, a bard of the Black Arts Movement and a strong voice chronicling the travails of life for many young Black males. This was the 1990s. In a rhetoric class, I wrote a paper on the prison industrial complex and how it dragnets Black bodies. My professor shared the paper with Dr. Donda West who, as the chairwoman of the English department, immediately summonsed me to her office. That discussion, in which she confessed that she knew nothing about the myriad ways the criminal justice system unfairly undermined and compromised Black life, began a series of long, impassioned conversations about any number of social issues. She requested that I give her a copy of everything I wrote in my classes because she had learned so much from my paper. Complimenting my “extraordinary” writing ability, Dr. West asked why I had not enrolled in the program to earn my master’s degree. Why was I just taking classes? As I matriculated through CSU, I would drop off copies of my papers to Dr. West and, inevitably, we would discuss them in her office. Through these deep, penetrating, and sometimes personal conversations, I had the pleasure of getting to know her. She was a generous and inspiring educator who understood the central role a Chicago State education played in the lives of her innercity Black students. Dr. West recounted an incident when, as a doctoral student at Auburn University, she had embarked on a trip with her classmates. A professor had callously exclaimed, “Let’s be sure to sit in the back of the bus, so Donda can be comfortable!” As a result of her life’s experiences, she was demanding, but compassionate, effective, and caring. After I graduated, I left the state to work on my doctorate. Never a Hip Hop aficionado, I was, nevertheless, taken by the beauty and range of College Dropout. So, one evening, I researched this Kanye West. It had never occurred to me that he was the son about whom Dr. West and I had shared a
few laughs. She had told me about this son of hers who was into music — who was even working with Jay-Z (“They say he’s pretty good”) and about whom she expressed disappointment when he dropped out of Chicago State. “I’m thinking, I have a Ph.D. and I’m an English professor and my son drops out of school, right?” Dr. West told me. We laughed as I consoled her with the idea that Kanye could always go back to school if this music thing didn’t work out. I will never forget reading in a Chicago newspaper about how Donda West had dropped everything and caught the next thing smoking to get to her child after he had been involved in a car accident. What? This is the son of whom Dr. West had spoken? I could not wait to call her. She was not in her office when I phoned late on a Friday afternoon, but that Monday morning, first thing, she called me back. We had a wonderfully inspiring conversation! Because we had agreed that I would call her as soon as I finished my doctoral program (she had wanted me to work with her on a foundation to serve inner-city youth), I had no idea it would be the last time I spoke to her. Dr. West was gracious beyond measure as I praised her son. I told her although I am not a Hip Hop head, I thought the album was genius. She was happy that I appreciated, as did she, how Kanye traversed genres and boundaries with his music. As I gushed about how much I liked Slow Jamz and “the song about the spaceship,” she mused that, but for “a few mindless pieces,” it was a “really nice CD.” Leave it to Dr. West, I thought, to keep it real. I had decided that I would not mention those songs, but it was clear Dr. West was not one to prate about anything her son did, despite his phenomenal success. In fact, I was blown away when she took the conversation in another direction. What was I doing? Was I married? And more importantly, was I still writing? She said, “You are such an exceptional writer with really important things to say. Please tell me you are still writing.” Nowadays, every time Kanye pops off about something, my baffled friends call to interrogate me. Each time, I have to patiently explain that I am not an authority on Kanye. I have never met the man. In fact, I don’t think his music has ever been as lofty as his first CD, so I haven’t even followed his musical career. I have just wished him well and taken pride in the fact that I knew his mom. As astonishing, bizarre, offensive, and

MISSING WEST: Above, the cover of Kanye West’s “College Dropout” album. Below left, Dr. Donda West, whose son, right, is still going through the anguish of her loss. in some ways, traumatizing as some of his behaviors and comments have been, I feel deep compassion for Kanye. And, as we get closer to the 11th anniversary of the day I sat in front of my computer weeping about the death of my friend, Donda West, I can only hope Kanye doesn’t completely tarnish his image or destroy himself before he can get the help he appears to need. Above all, though, I miss the kindness and support Dr. West always offered, as well as
our great conversations. I can only imagine the depth of Kanye’s pain.
