Garden Expands Healthy Food Options in Northeast Community

By Sam P.K. Collins WI Contributing Writer @sampkcollins The debate about obesity has long focused on individual eating habits. In recent years, national programs and initiatives, such as first lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move!

While some people, like Xavier Brown, don’t question these efforts, they say that eating fresh fruits and vegetables often proves difficult for District residents that live in food deserts, neighborhoods where

“The discussion about healthy eating is null and void if people do not have adequate choices,” said Brown, 28, director of urban agriculture at The Green Scheme, a nonprofit that promotes environmental sustainability, health awareness,

“Residents in Wards 7 and 8 don’t really have an opportunity to eat healthy food. They only see carry-outs and fast food restaurants. For some people, the closest grocery store is miles away. If you don’t have a car or bus fare, that’s a

The challenges facing today’s youth can sometimes be overwhelming particularly for those living in America’s fast-paced concrete jungle.

However, through creative partnerships, many young adults are discovering effective methods to steer clear of crime, drugs, alcohol and premature sexual activity.

“The youth who attended this year’s summit said that the workshops and entertainment were positive, rewarding and a great start to their summer,” said Rosalind M. Parker, director of the Wards 7 & 8 DC Prevention Center in Northeast.

“It’s the first time we’ve combined previously separate events that kickoff summer vacation for young adults and this time the youth chose the topics for discussion,” said Parker, 45, a third-generation Washingtonian.

The No Time for Crime, Drugs or Alcohol Youth Summit took place at Savoy Elementary School in Southeast on May 24, Memorial Day weekend. About 100 youth and 50 adults, including parents, participated in the daylong event, now marking its ninth year.

Workshops for the summit, planned and developed by the youth, included: Who You Rep? – Violence, Bullying and Gang Involvement; Getting Buzzed and Killing Your Brain Cells – Underage Drinking, Marijuana and Other Drugs; Hygiene, Appearance and Nutrition; Empowered Parents; and Sex, Sexual Health and Sexuality.

One youth, with her high school diploma in hand, said that while the day provided numerous opportunities to have fun, the summit, and other similar programs, must help change the way the Southeast community views itself.

“We got great positive feedback from the youth that came out and they all got a lot more than they expected,” said Simone Banks-Mackey, 17. “Drugs, alcohol and especially smoking are still problems for youth.

But at least we’re talking about these challenges more. Change can come in a variety of ways so every outreach effort helps.”

D.C. native Anwan “Big G” Glover from 93.9 WKYS-FM served as the keynote speaker for the event.

Glover, a featured actor on the popular HBO series “The Wire,” also addressed the importance of find-

ing alternative methods for conflict resolution other than violence. Performers included T.O.B Band and Show, Main Girl and Young Motive.

A senior who attends Ballou High School said many of his friends that showed up seemed surprised to have learned so much.

“Some kids are having sex and so they need to protect themselves from HIV or STDs so I helped pass out condoms,” said Damone Nickens, 17. “For some this was the first time they could get tested and as a prevention outreach worker at Sasha Bruce, I encourage my peers to see a doctor every three to six months.

This is part of our reality.”

Sponsors for the summit included: the Metropolitan Police Department; the Far Southeast Family Strengthening Collaborative, Inc.; the Ward 8 Drug-Free Coalition; and the Wards 7 & 8 DC Prevention Center.

“We had some dedicated sponsors that are leading the way in crime prevention, drug and alcohol awareness and safe sex initiatives in Wards 7 and 8,” Parker said. “We hope that we can one day make this a citywide summit.”

Parker also pointed to a recent poll of 400 high school youth from Ward 7 indicating the ease with which minors can access marijuana or alcohol.

One of the summit’s sponsors representing the Ward 7 Safe and Drug Free Communities said efforts must continue to make life safer for Southeast youth.

“Youth can become advocates for themselves when given the proper tools but it requires training and

outlets like this where they can freely discuss what’s happening around them,” said Morris Redd, project coordinator. “Many want to choose healthier alternatives but at the same time they want to save face in their communities. It boils down to raising their self-esteem.”

Another sponsor that works with youth east of the river said perceptions that paint Southeast youth in a Denise Rolark Barnes negative light don’t tell the real story.

Black Facts June 19 1865 – The Juneteenth Celebration begins. June 19, 1865 marks the day that many Blacks in Texas were emancipated. Even though the Emancipation Proclamation freed all slaves in 1863, Texans refused to release them until the end of the Civil War. 2009 – The U.S. Congress issues a formal apology to Black Americans for the slavery of their ancestors. The resolution acknowledged the “fundamental injustice, cruelty, brutality and inhumanity of slavery and Jim Crow laws” which followed slavery. However, the resolution specifically rejected paying Blacks reparations for past discrimination, mistreatment and brutality.

June 20 1967 – Boxing champion Muhammad Ali is convicted in a Houston, Texas federal court of violating the Selective Service Act by refusing to be inducted into the armed forces. He was fined $10,000 and given five years in prison. The United States Supreme Court would later overturn the conviction. Ali’s refusal to be inducted was based, in part, on his opposition to America’s war in Vietnam. He often said, “No Vietnamese ever called me nigger.”

VIEWP INT Sunshine Muse Washington, D.C. I support the Obama administration in bringing Bergdahl home with the exchange. I think the country needs to move in the direction of having a more humane way of dealing with individuals. I think it’s good that we were able to bring Bergdahl home, and to a safe environment. I applaud the administration for a successful negotiation that brought an American soldier home.

Gerald William McDuffie Silver Spring, Maryland I’m glad they were able to bring him back home. A lot of the politicians who have [objected] to the negotiation aren’t considering the fact that [Bergdahl] is someone’s child. A lot of them come from backgrounds that aren’t necessarily the same as the majority of Americans. The Bergdahl family has been without a son for years, and not having him there with them has been very unfortunate. I think the administration made the right call.

h s a C Need

AFTER FIVE YEARS OF CAPTIVITY AS THE COUNTRY’S LONE PRISONER OF WAR, SGT. BOWE BERGDAHL, WHO SOME BELIEVE DESERTED HIS POST IN AFGHANISTAN, WAS RELEASED IN EXCHANGE FOR FIVE TALIBAN DETAINEES. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE EXCHANGE?

Michael Syphax Washington, D.C. I think the exchange was fine.

As far as Bergdahl’s other behavior, we won’t really know the truth until he’s willing to talk. I don’t have a problem with the exchange as I see it as a routine prisoner exchange. I think the press has overblown the importance of the five detainees who were released. You don’t leave a soldier behind, and if Bergdahl did desert his post, we will eventually find that out.

Robert Goo Takoma Park, Maryland I have been concerned about the prisoner exchange because from what I have read, the circumstances surrounding Bergdahl’s disappearance have been very unclear. I am also concerned about the soldiers who were killed looking for him, and about the soldiers who were involved in the exchange whose lives were at risk during the recovery effort.

Sean Sanders Washington, D.C. I don’t think we know the real story surrounding the exchange, and there’s probably a lot more to it than what’s currently being released by the press. I’m sure there’s a lot more information that the Army cannot release, as well. I am going to withhold judgment on whether it was a good decision or not until I hear what Bergdahl has to say. It sounds like he had some mental health issues himself, and it sounds like there were some possible issues with the command he was under.

develop a sustainable healthy food source for Lincoln Heights residents: a community garden. This summer, novice gardeners will harvest several pounds of crops including apples, beets, lettuce, kale, oranges, peaches, strawberries, and snap peas, most of which they cultivated in flower beds shaped in the form of “LH,” Lincoln Heights’ initials.

Volunteers from The Green Scheme guided residents of various ages along a process that included testing soil for lead, building flower beds, planting seeds, watering plants, removing weeds, and harvesting fruits and vegetables on a plot of land overlooking townhouses and low-rise apartment buildings in the Northeast neighborhood.

Gregory Hill, a Lincoln Heights resident of 10 years, said that his neighbors have increasingly recognized the potential of the garden, now in its second harvest, as a viable food source.

“Many of us living in Lincoln Heights have a fixed income,” said Hill, 60. “People have realized that they can use what grows out of the garden to save some money. We’re all learning as we go. We work as a team and build trust with others. Our efforts have motivated other residents to join us,” said Hill, who also serves as treasurer of the Lincoln Heights Resident Council.

Future horticulturalists like Donte Woodyard, 7, often rake grass and pull weeds to ensure that the crops stay healthy. A gathering of The Green Scheme

volunteers and Lincoln Heights residents at the garden three years ago piqued Donte’s interest in urban farming.

“I help plant the seeds and make sure that the crops are healthy,” said Donte. “I’m out here every day. This is good for me because I get to take care of the plants and take cooking classes. I love seeing the crops grow. My mother and stepfather do not have to worry about me being bored in the house or [running around] outside,” said Donte.

A 2013 report by DC Hunger Solutions, a Northwest-based program funded by the Food Research and Action Center, found that 30 percent of households with children in the District could not afford to purchase food.

Each week, a steady stream of parents and children visit the Lincoln Heights Family Enhancement Center where chefs prepare a variety of meals and snacks using the fruits and vegetables grown in the garden.

More than 20 residents filed into a common area at the center on June 4 and learned how to make fruit smoothies. Children later nibbled on broccoli and carrots dipped in hummus.

Lincoln Heights resident Shyrie Forney watched as Darryl Perkins, vice president of local nonprofit Broccoli City Lifestyle Group chopped strawberries, kale, and pineapples before tossing them into a blender during a recent demonstration. Forney, who has lived in Lincoln Heights for nine years, said she often brings some of the children living in the neighborhood along

AROUND THE REGION GARDEN continued from Page 8 with her to the weekly meetings on nutrition along with the chefs’ demonstrations.

“Gardening’s different from what the children usually do,” said Forney, 35. “The older ones aren’t too interested but I always grab the little ones with their parents’ permission. This garden has been a breath of fresh air. It’s something that they get to enjoy and it costs little to nothing,” said Forney, a cosmetologist.

Since Ronnie Webb, a community organizer, and Joelle Robinson, a public health professional, founded The Green Scheme in 2011, it has helped residents in five communities east of the Anacostia River, including Benning Terrace and Wheeler Ter-

race in Southeast, start their own gardens as part of a project touted Code Green.

In 2013, The Green Scheme secured a $114,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and received 17 fruit trees compliments of the Northeast-based nonprofit Casey Trees.

Webb, president of The Green Scheme, said that he hopes that residents will use the skills they learned long after volunteers leave.

“The people of Lincoln Heights built these gardens,” said Webb, 28. “When we eventually leave the community, their garden committee can keep it going. We don’t just educate them about the merits of healthy eating. We also show them how to self-advocate,” said Webb who lives in Northeast. WI

D.C. Political Roundup

By James Wright WI Staff Writer Perdomo Wants to Improve District Schools Lillian Perdomo spent years in the trenches of District grassroots politics and community activism, and cut her teeth working with Carol Schwartz on the D.C. Council along with a host of nonprofits.

So, it comes as no surprise that Perdomo wants to take the next step in local leadership – she’s ready to represent Ward 1 on the D.C. State Board of Education.

“I am running because I am committed to strengthening educational opportunities for the children of the District of Columbia,” said Perdomo, 53. “I want to ensure that every student is enrolled in a high-quality institution with high-quality teachers.”

Patrick Mara, the Ward 1 Board of Education member, decided not to seek another term. There are also board races in Wards 3, 5, and 6 in the November general election. (A special election to fill the vacant Ward 8 seat will be held on Tuesday, July 15.)

Perdomo knows firsthand the challenges school administrators and students face. She has a son who graduated from D.C. public schools and a daughter who attends the Duke Ellington School of the Arts in Northwest.

She wants to help students who are struggling academically, many of whom are black or Latino, by putting in place a highly-regarded community schools concept in the District.

“A community school will serve as a hub for community services for not only the students but for families,” she said. “At these community schools, we can provide additional services such as tutoring for the children and social services support for family members. While the family’s social services needs are being met, the child [can] focus on learning.”

Perdomo said preparing a child to learn involves getting them into a classroom as early as possible.

“As a member of the board of education, I will work to see that low-income students are enrolled in pre-kindergarten while they are either three or four years old,” she said. “Students at those ages can learn how to function in a structured learning environment early.”

Perdomo, a Latina, recognizes that the District has become an international city in the truest sense The Washington Informer

and she believes that the educational curriculum should reflect that diversity. She supports bilingualism, the ability to speak two languages fluently.

“In the District, we have [more than] 100 languages and dialects that are spoken,” she said. “Our children are exposed to an international world and they need to have the skills to be able to compete in that world.”

If elected in November, Perdomo will be one of the two elected Latino officials in the District. A veteran of District politics, she has served as a Barack Obama delegate to the 2012 Democratic National Convention in Charlotte; a six-year member of the D.C. Democratic State Committee; working as Vincent Gray’s Ward 1 coordinator in the 2010 mayoral election and has clout as a member of the D.C. Latino Caucus.

Perdomo wants to use her experience, contacts and perspective to benefit the District’s school children.

“Our children are creative, capable and smart,” she said. “I want a fully-equipped school in every neighborhood so that every child

can reach their potential.”

D.C. Republicans Respond to Schwartz Mayoral Bid Ron Phillips, the chairman of the D.C. Republican Party, said that he spoke with former D.C. Council member Carol Schwartz about carrying the mantle for a 2014 mayoral run several months ago. Schwartz ran for mayor as a Republican in 1986, 1994, 1998 and 2002.

“The Republican Party approached me about running for them, but I politely declined,” Schwartz, 70, said on WJLA’s “NewsTalk with Bruce DePuyt” show on June 10. Phillips said the party’s leadership, that includes Executive Director Robert Turner, respects Schwartz’s decision to run as an independent.

“She declined [our offer] and that is her prerogative,” Phillips said. “We wish her well.”

Phillips said that he hopes to find Republicans who will run for political office.

“At the end of the month, we will vote on nominating our own Republican candidate to run for mayor in the November election,” he said. WI

Game Changer.

That’s the description offered by one D.C. resident and echoed, she said, by countless others she knows, following Carol Schwartz’s announcement that she plans to run for mayor.

“As soon as I heard she was coming into the race, I contacted her representative. She’s a game-changer,” said longtime Ward 7 resident, writer and activist Jeri Washington.

“People have been extrapolating who she’ll take votes from and she’ll take votes from both (Council members Muriel Bowser and David Catania).”

“I saw Muriel recently and told Muriel I’m glad Carol entered the race. She asked why and I said she’ll make them work harder. With Carol in the race, the issues will be talked about. There has been talk that Muriel didn’t want to debate Catania.

Now she may have no choice.”

During the April 1 primary, Mayor Vincent C. Gray lost his bid to serve a second term to Bowser, the Ward 4 council member and until last week, she and Catania, himself an At-Large council member, battled to replace Gray.

Schwartz, 70, served on the D.C. Council for 16 years as a Republican who held an At-Large seat. She’s been out of the public eye for fiveand-a-half years and changed her party affiliation to independent last year. She said she felt compelled to enter the race. In a statement released on June 6, Schwartz explained her motivation.

“During this five-year break from political life … I have watched closely from the sidelines and have been concerned about what is happening in our city’s present and what its future will look like. While I have been extremely happy to see our town develop and thrive – the groundwork which I helped lay during my years in elected office, along with many others then and since – I have become more and more troubled as many of our longtime fellow residents are being left behind or pushed out. In fact, our glorious diversity is being threatened.”

Schwartz, who has lived in D.C. for 48 years, said she is equally upset about local elected officials whose greed and acts of corruption have tarnished the District’s good name.

“Any corruption is too much – and D.C. has gone beyond the pale,” she said. “And it concerns me that my former body, the D.C. Council, created the circumstances that opened the door for some of these unethical shenanigans to take place, circumstances I tried to stop when The Washington Informer

I was on the council. For example, a few officials did severe wrongdoing using earmarks and their Constituent Service Funds. Earmarks are sole-source contracts that council members gave out to favored groups. And a now-imprisoned former council member raided his Constituent Service Fund for personal use.”

Schwartz said deciding whether to run had occupied her mind for the past several months, but she firmed up her decision about 10 days before her official announcement.

Local Republican officials courted Schwartz, trying to convince her to run under the GOP banner but she declined.

“I’m an independent now,” she asserted. “I actual say they left me – they have become far too conservative. The good thing is that people know me. I met them half-way (by switching to independent) and I hope they’ll do the same.”

Ron Turner, executive director of DCGOP, said Chairman Ron Phillips met with Schwartz earlier this year but couldn’t persuade her to run as a Republican. On June 9, Phillips issued a statement welcoming her into the mayor’s race.

“She represents a lot of history that is in this city … We wish her well.”

Phillips said at the end of the month, GOP officials will vote on nominating a Republican candidate to run for mayor in the November elections.

Turner said anyone running as a Republican faces a daunting battle with the margin of Democratic to Republican voters standing at 11-1.

He said it’s important to nominate people who won’t be mistaken for

Democrats.

“We plan to run a Republican candidate, not a Democrat-Lite,” he said. “It will be a person who stands on Republican standards and ideals in a Democratic environment. (Too often), we’ve had Republicans who shift and move toward Democratic positions.”

The Republicans the party favors advocates limited government, lower taxes and increased responsibility and accountability from elected officials, Turner explained.

Schwartz has name recognition, people like her and she’s remembered for putting forward and shepherding through passage of legislation that benefited all colors and classes in the city. Her biggest challenge, she acknowledges, is the fact that she’s not a Democrat, but she said she has a strong legislative record to run on.

She said she’s been very surprised at the support she’s gotten, especially from people she never expected.

Washington reveled in the shakeup.

“There are a lot of Democrats who still support Carol. I think anything is possible,” she said. “If we have a low voter turnout, anything’s possible. I told Muriel that it’s going be an aggressive summer of campaigning and now with Carol in the race, the question will be how many of them will be supporting her. Everyone’s trying to pull Democrats but who’ll pull independents? It will be musical chairs.”

“I’m excited, I love a good fight.”WI

New Playground at Seabrook Elementary The Seabrook Elementary School community in Upper Marlboro, Maryland has been revitalized with a new playground recently built on the school grounds.

More than 200 volunteers from Seabrook teamed up with staff from “KaBOOM!” a nonprofit organization in the District that ensures that children are provided with an active play area in their community and Foresters, a life insurance provider, credited for building the playground. The new play space will serve more than 15,000 children and their families in the local

“We are thrilled to partner with Foresters and “KaBOOM!” to provide children in this community with the opportunity to have the childhood they deserve, because play matters for all kids,” said Kevin Maxwell, schools CEO. “In building this playground together, we are providing a safe and enjoyable environment to help them grow and thrive.”

The playground’s design resulted from drawings created

by Seabrook students during a special Design Day event held in March.

Since 2006, Foresters has invested more than $10 million with “KaBOOM!” to build nearly120 playgrounds across the country and in Canada.

New Orleans Students Donate Time, Resources to Philippines

By Barrington M. Salmon WI Staff Writer@bsalmondc The young survivors in New Orleans could be excused if they looked inward as they continue to move beyond the devastation of Hurricane Katrina.

But on August 22, 20 students from McDonogh 35 Senior High School will travel to the Philippines to offer support to fellow students. Last November, super Typhoon Haiyan, one of the strongest storms in history, slammed into the Central Philippines. The storm killed more than 6,200 people amid the devastation.

The students, aka the ’Reke

Allstars, will spend 10 days to assist in building a pre-fab shelter for a needy family, participate in a basketball camp, attend school and help in the recovery. The teens have the opportunity because of a unique collaboration with Operation Hoops Cares; the Embassy of the Philippines; Industrial Bank; the USPhilippines Society; New Orleans Pelicans guard Tyreke Evans and several of his brothers.

“The typhoon was the Philippines’ worst,” said Jena Ferguson, creator of Operation Hoops Cares. “It’s a natural connection.

It’s so crazy. People were living in [a stadium] and 80 percent of the schools were damaged. It

was the same in New Orleans.

The kids will go to school there for one week and those kids will take supplies and they’re learning construction and will help build pre-fab structures.”

Ferguson, founder of non-profit Knowledge Speaks and a Manhattan resident, said she just returned from the Philippines.

“It’s bad, really bad,” she said.

The students, many of whom traveled by air for the first time, visited New York City before arriving in the District for the June 3 embassy event. Ferguson said group members met with

NATIONAL STUDENTS continued from Page 14 Louisiana Sen. Mary Landrieu, who promised to expedite the process so that students who lost their birth certificates in the hurricane can get replacements to travel overseas in a couple of months.

The students wouldn’t be able to make the trip at all without the generous help of Industrial Bank, which offered a $45,000 grant for travel and accommodations.

“We received a Bank Enterprise Award and we committed 20 percent of that on a persistent poverty community. There are none in D.C. So we got in touch with Operation Hoops Cares through Amos Greene,” said B. Doyle Mitchell, grandson of the bank’s founder and its president and chief executive officer. “Jena told us about this project with natural disasters and the love of basketball. They even have a team named the Pelicans.”

“When God puts it all together, this is what you get. … Our real job is helping people. We’re a community bank where half of our assets are invested in low- or moderate-income communities.

We’re proud to support students doing fantastic things.”

“This is an excellent opportunity to strengthen the ties of the Philippines and the U.S. and New Orleans and the Philippines,” said Philippines Minister and Consul Elmer G. Cato.

“Basketball is the most popular sport in the Philippines despite our height.”

Retired Ambassador John Maisto agreed with a hearty chuckle.

“They follow basketball in a serious way in the Philippines,”

said Maisto, president of the USPhilippines Society which was asked to partner on the project.

“Americans who go would be surprised to see how popular the game is. The beauty of what’s going on now is that it involves hurricane survivors. It’s kids, it’s basketball, it’s reconstruction, it’s education. This brings everything together beautifully.”

Bill Kealey, an instructor in the ACE Mentoring Program – which in addition to introducing the teens to career opportunities in architecture, construction and engineering – will help them build 23 pre-fabricated homes to be sent overseas once they procure the money.

Reggie Evans, Tyreke’s brother and manager, told guests

at the Philippines Embassy in Northwest he and his family relish any opportunity to give back.

Brothers Eric and Dahz stood in the back of the room until they joined other guests to take pictures.

“Thank you all for coming out,” he said. “We’re grateful to be a part of anything related to education. This will help the kids take a break from the stress. The struggle in the Philippines and New Orleans breaks our heart.

We wanted to help and we’re going to help.”

Tyreke Evans wasn’t at the press conference because he’s recovering from knee surgery.

“I wish my brother was here,” Reggie Evans said. “He wants to be a huge part of this. He’ll have his face in the Philippines at the camps.”

Evans, 41, recalled the difficult circumstances his family endured while living in Chester, Pennsylvania, saying sports provided the outlet he and his brothers needed to succeed and rise above the myriad challenges.

Since becoming a professional athlete, Evans said, his brother has attached himself to a number of notable projects such as donating $2 million to provide eye care to the needy, working with Doctors Without Bor-

ders, and sponsoring basketball camps.

Malik Collins, 17, recalled his first airplane ride after reading a poem about his Katrina experience.

“I was so nervous. It was tense

and overwhelming. There was excitement and a lot to take in but I really, really enjoyed it. The whole trip has been a learning experience.” WI To read this story in its entirety, go to www.washingtoninformer.com

BUSINESS EXCHANGE Money Matter$

SVP/Commercial Lending Member FDIC

What You Need to Know About the SBA If you have ever started (or considered starting) your own business, chances are you have heard about or used the services of the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). If however, you are a small business owner and you have not utilized the services of the SBA or one of its partners, you really should familiarize yourself with this critical resource.

The SBA was created, “to be an independent agency of the federal government to aid, counsel, assist and protect the interests of small business concerns, to preserve free competitive enterprise and to maintain and strengthen the overall economy of our nation.” President Obama has often referred to the importance small businesses play in driving the U.S. economy and the purpose of the SBA is to help Americans start, build and grow businesses - and its impact has been quite profound.

The SBA has delivered millions of loans, loan guarantees, contracts, counseling sessions and other forms of assistance to small businesses. How? The SBA provides assistance primarily through its four programmatic functions: 1. Access to Capital: The SBA indirectly provides financing for small businesses via microlending, as well as in the form of investment capital (venture capital).

2. Entrepreneurial Development (Education, Information, Technical Assistance & Training): The SBA provides FREE individual face-to-face, and internet counseling for small businesses, and low-cost training to budding entrepreneurs as well as established small businesses in locations throughout the United States.

3. Government Contracting: The SBA’s Office of Government Contracting sets goals with other federal departments and agencies to reach a prime contract goal for dollars being awarded to small businesses and also provides small businesses with subcontracting procurement opportunities, outreach programs, and training.

4. Advocacy: The SBA reviews Congressional legislation and testifies on behalf of small businesses.

Great! But how does that help you?

Of primary importance to most small business owners is access to capital. While SBA generally does not lend directly to small businesses, it assists banks and other private-sector financial institutions in making credit more widely available. Through its 7(a) program, SBA can authorize the guarantee of a significant portion of a bank loan, usually 50% to 75%. This means that if the small business becomes unable to repay the loan, the SBA will repay the Bank itself. This does not release the business owner from his or her obligation to repay the loan to SBA. But the benefit to you, the small business owner, is that such a guaranty provides peace of mind to your lender, which in turn makes it a bit easier to obtain an initial loan approval from a bank or other financial institution.

Another means by which SBA supports bank lending to small businesses is its 504 program. This program is typically used to finance the acquisition and renovation of real estate by eligible small businesses which will utilize at least 51% of the acquired space for their own operations. Unlike 7(a), the 504 program is not a guaranty program. Instead, participating banks and SBA share the risk of lending to the small business, with the bank taking a first mortgage lien position on the real estate and SBA taking the riskier second lien. The SBA’s portion is funded through the public sale of debentures which are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. A typical 504 structure calls for 50% bank financing, 40% SBA financing and a 10% equity injection by the small business owner. Business people find this program attractive because of the limited cash they are required to provide (as little as 10% of the total project cost), and because the interest rate on the SBA debenture is generally quite low.

If you are in the market for a bank partner, one that is willing to help you take advantage of the resources available through the SBA, know that Industrial Bank is ready to support you as you look to invest in yourself, invest in your dreams, and invest in your future.

Koch Brothers Support UNCF You probably haven’t heard the one about the billionaire industrialist Koch brothers giving a $25 million grant to the United Negro College Fund (UNCF). The money will come from Koch Industries Inc. and the Charles Koch Foundation, both of which are headed by the brothers. Most of the money ($18.5 million) will go toward a scholarship program. The other $6.5 million is provided for general support to the nation’s historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and the UNCF, $4 million of which will be set aside for loan assistance.

The gift helps bolsters beautiful minds and the future of African-American communities. UNCF is the nation’s largest, oldest and most successful minority higher education assistance organization. The universally recognized motto for UNCF is: “A mind is a terrible thing to waste.” A part of the HBCU network, the UNCF was founded in 1940 by Frederick Douglass Patterson, an African-American educator who was president of Tuskegee University from 1935 to 1953. Since its start UNCF has raised more than $3.6 billion to help more than 400,000 students receive college degrees at UNCF-member institutions. Each year UNCF enables more than 60,000 students to attend college and get the education they need to launch careers and contribute to their communities. The UNCF provides operating funds for 40 member colleges and administers programs that allow students from low- and moderate-income families to afford college tuition, books and room and board.

UNCF’s current president and chief executive Michael Lomax said, “UNCF is proud to announce this new scholarship program that will help motivated and deserving students not just get to and through school, but to become our next generation of innovators and entrepreneurs … are enormously grateful to Koch Industries and Foundation for long-standing support of UNCF and helping create new opportunities for success and a better future for our students.” Over the last 70 years, UNCF has raised more than $4 bil-

The donation comes as Democrats have been actively seeking to vilify Charles and David Koch in hopes of turning them into midterm electoral bogeymen. Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) has lambasted them on the Senate floor, while Democratic groups have been running ads that cast the family and their businesses in a negative light. In their donations, the Koch brothers have done more for Black youth than Barack Obama and Harry Reid combined.

Many Blacks are mouthing the political mantra that “The Koch [brothers] will put $125 million into November’s elections – backing candidates who will vote to decimate Social Security, overturn voting rights … and make it impossible to get health care or earn a decent wage.” Most Blacks don’t know beyond politics that for decades the Koch family has been generous philanthropists, with contributions among African-American institutions in education, health care, and the arts. Through scholarship and academic initiatives, the Charles Koch Foundation currently supports 340 programs at more than 250 colleges and universities across the country, including HBCUs such as Albany State University and Fayetteville State University.

Actually, Koch Industries has a history of supporting UNCF dating to 2005, when it acquired the company Georgia-Pacific, which has supported UNCF going back four decades. Since 1995, Georgia-Pacific and Koch have donated tens of millions of dollars to UNCF. It’s time Blacks stop championing mediocrity and stop the parti-

Students Develop Apps, Solve School Problems

By Denise Rolark Barnes WI Staff Writer With only two weeks before the end of the school year for D.C. public school students, a group of seventh graders at Hart Middle School in Southeast accepted an end-of-the-year academic challenge that almost stumped them. They had to agree upon the biggest issues they faced during this school year, and then answer the question, “What if there was an app for that?”

Homework, school lunches and bullying ranked highest on their lists. Designing an app – short for application, a software program that runs on computers, smart phones and other digital devices – to solve such problems excited the 120 students that participated in the exercise. The results surprised the dozens of volunteers from Deloitte LLC, an international public accounting firm, which partnered with the William O. Lockridge Foundation to create the challenge for its 14th Annual Impact Day on June 6.

“I was blown away by the students, their engagement and the creativity they displayed,” said Wanda Lockridge, founder of The Lockridge Foundation, a non-profit education-based organization named in honor of the late Ward 8 school board member William Lockridge. “They came in with no knowledge of the project and thanks to the Deloitte volunteers, they quickly understood the mission. It was really phenomenal to see.”

Kim Corley, associate director in Deloitte’s Global Technology Services Practice, said every year the company shuts down for one day so that its officers

and employees “can step out into their communities and make an impact. The work we do varies,” Corley said, “including beautification and gardening projects in nearly 80 communities across the US.” “The goal of today’s program is to teach kids about creative brainstorming,” Corley said. “We are helping them to think differently about problems. Don’t just think about the problem but start thinking of creative ways to solve the problem.”

By 9:00 a.m. the first half of the seventh grade class sat attentively in the math lab. A second group would follow. The group, then spread throughout an open space classroom that teachers agree isn’t the most conducive environment for learning. Students tend to be distracted, one teacher explained, and unable to focus on their lessons. However, Impact Day proved otherwise. Two to three volunteers worked with teams of six students at tables scattered throughout the room.

In short order, students appeared energized and focused as they brainstormed and developed solutions to apply to their apps.

Winners would naturally have bragging rights and receive a prize, but that didn’t seem to matter to the future application developers. Instead, choosing the best icon to report incidents of bullying far outweighed a certificate and a $10 iTunes card.

Groups debated over how their

app could improve the school lunch experience, by allowing students to vote for menu items, critique food choices and grade the daily lunchroom experience on their phones.

The app, “Homework Helplication,” drew the loudest oohs and aahs for the winning team that created an application to allow students to receive and turn in homework assignments to their teachers. A single tap on a friendly face icon and students could share assignments with one another or save materials for future reference, all on a smart phone or other mobile devices.

Seventh grade team member Antwon Harris couldn’t contain his excitement.

“Homework Helplication helps people who struggle with homework not to struggle any more. I like to help people that struggle not to struggle any more.

If this activity was a real program, I’d love to be in it,” he said.

Hart Middle School Principal Billy Kearny said he looks forward to hosting Impact Day at Hart annually. “It’s important for our kids to get an idea about the future. Because so many of them are socially media savvy, this is fitting because it will grab their attention and will give them a glimpse into the future. We hope this will help to continue to promote the value of education and will inspire the entrepreneurial spirit in all of them.” WI

Men’s Health Month Focuses on Prevention

African-American Males Face Various Challenges

By Stacy M. Brown WI Contributing Writer Many men typically notice when their automobiles don’t perform properly, but they rarely listen when their bodies tell them that it’s time to visit a doctor.

That observation from a local physician remains an important theme of Men’s Health Month, which takes place in June each year with a goal that all males carefully examine their bodies and stay healthy.

“Men’s Health Month is a call to action for all men and their families to take ownership of their health and well-being,” said Dr. Salvatore Giorgianni, a science advisor to the Men’s Health Network in Northeast.

“All dads out there [should know] how much their family needs them, and how important it is for them to take care of themselves,” Giorgianni said.

While the Men’s Health Network (MHN) has planned several activities in Washington, D.C., throughout the month, officials at the National Black Men’s Health Network in Atlanta said it’s also a time to reflect on issues affecting African-American males.

They said the death rate from cancer among African-American men remains twice that of white males and the mortality rate for black men as a whole ranks higher than any ethnic group.

“The average black man barely lives long enough to collect his Social Security,” said Dr. Jean J.E. Bonhomme, founder of the National Black Men’s Health Network.

HIV/AIDS remains among the most pressing health issue facing black males in Washington, D.C., but despite those concerns there are alarming disparities that disproportionately affect racial and ethnic minorities, said officials who are shining a spotlight on prevention as a key strategy for achieving health equity.

“Failure to address the health challenges facing minorities diminishes the health of the nation as a whole,” said Bonhom-

me, 63, who also serves on the board of directors for the MHN. “The U.S. has one of the most expensive health care systems in the world, yet our life expectancies, infant mortality rates and other health care outcomes are often middle of the road at best. This situation exists in large measure because many of our advanced and effective health care interventions are not reaching minorities.”

Equally important, Bonhomme said studying minorities who suffer the highest known rates of many life limiting conditions provides unique opportunities to identify real causes and effective prevention of disease. He said increased attention to minority health could be a significant benefit to everyone.

“We have numerous problems when it comes to health care and health insurance,” said Ian Franklin, a retired postal worker who lives in Northeast.

“Finding the right doctor, getting to the doctor and having enough money to pay our premiums and even our co-pays present problems for us at times,” said Franklin 67. “So, it becomes easy for us as black men to not pay attention to the slightest ache or the smallest [pain]. We just don’t have the time, energy or resources.”

Officials said the goal of Men’s Health Month continues to center on methods to heighten the public’s awareness of the many preventable illnesses affecting men, young and old.

MHN officials have organized screenings, health fairs, and other education and outreach initiatives. Throughout the District and the rest of the country, MHN officials said they’re committed to spreading the word that, “prevention is power,” and to inspire everyone to talk about focusing on keeping families and communities healthy.

MHN officials said seven of the top 10 causes of death in the U.S. are from chronic diseases and men of color are disproportionately affected by conditions

MEN continued from Page 18 such as heart disease, stroke, cancer and diabetes, all of which can be prevented.

“At this time in history, we have unprecedented opportunities such as those created by the Affordable Care Act and the Department of Health and Human Services’ Action Plan to Reduce Racial and Ethnic Disparities. We have an opportunity to implement measures to move the needle on health disparities and achieve health equity for all Americans,” said Dr. J. Nadine Gracia, deputy assistant secretary for minority health and the director of the Office of Minority Health in Rockville, Maryland.

Additional health screenings and programs will be offered to residents in the District and a number of care providers, physicians, insurance representatives and others will participate in activities throughout the month, officials said.

“These efforts reach men where they live, work, and play and pray,” said Ana Fadich, vice president of MHN, which organizes events nationwide.

“They’re a great way for health care providers, policymakers, the media, and individuals to educate men, their families, and the public on a wide range of men’s health issues, including cancers, cardiovascular problems, sexual and mental health concerns.”WI

Celebrating Success School officials are celebrating the Class of 2014 with a series of photos and videos highlighting some of the students who refused to quit when the going got tough.

Ashley Brown, who graduated on June 17 from Luke C. Moore Academy in Northeast, counts as one of the students who persevered despite myriad challenges.

Ashley dropped out in the 10th grade but returned to school in 2012. She wanted to attend college so that she and her son Isaiah could have a better quality of life.

“Isaiah is my inspiration. I know he’s here for a purpose,” Ashley said. “Before I had him I wasn’t going [down] the right road. When I had him I thought, ‘what am I going to do if I don’t finish high school? How am I going to support my child? My son is all I have.’ And if something is that important to you, you will [strive] for success.”

Free Summer Meals Program Hunger doesn’t take a summer break.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), known in the District as the DC Free Summer Meals Program (FSMP), reimburses schools and other organizations that provide free nutritious meals and snacks to children 18 and younger. These meals help children in low-income areas get the nutrition they need to learn, play, and grow throughout the summer months when school’s not in session.

When schools are closed for summer vacation, the meals served as part of the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program aren’t available, and due to families’ limited budgets and other circumstances, children will often miss wholesome meals.

The FSMP fills this gap and parents benefit from help in stretching their food dollars and knowing that their children are receiving healthy meals in a supportive environment.

The Office of the State Superintendent of Education can provide the names of agencies that sponsor the SFSP in the District, and the contact person for when and where meals are served.

Interested parties can also visit the Find a DC Free Summer Meals website for information.WI

or years, Ward 8 Council member Marion S. Barry, Jr. says, journalists and authors have written stories about him, personal and professional.

Having lived life on his terms, the former four-time mayor decided now would be the appropriate time to tell his story. The journey from the rural Mississippi Delta town of Itta Bena to the civil rights movement, becoming chief executive of the nation’s capital, his successes, failures, victories and shortcomings are laid out in his book, “Mayor For Life: The Incredible Story of Marion Barry, Jr.” The 325-page book, co-authored by New York Times best-selling writer Omar Tyree and published by Strebor Books, is now on sale.

“Everybody and his mother has written about Marion Barry – thousands of articles. As long as the lion is King of the Jungle, we’ll always hear his story,” Barry quipped. “It’s an honest book, truthful, the good, the ugly, the bad. If you’re to be believed, you have to tell the truth.”

Barry, 78, said he hopes the book inspires young people, those enduring challenges, and others involved in or contemplating a career in politics.

During a June 16 interview, a relaxed Barry reflected on the arc of his life. A recurring theme centered on redemption, second chances and rising like a phoenix out of the ashes of adversity.

“Even if the FBI set me up, I had no business going into that room,” he said of the infamous incident at the Vista Hotel. “I apologized to Rasheeda (Moore), her family, Effi and Christopher and D.C. residents. I’ve put all that behind me. America is the land of second chances and we all fall short.”

Novelist and author Zane, owner of publishing house Strebor Books, a division of Simon & Schuster, called snagging the Barry autobiography a coup.

“I’ve known Mr. Barry for many years and it (the book) never came to fruition,” Zane recalled.

“I met him at a friend’s house. He was playing bid whist and I told him he should do the story. Even-

tually, I had lunch with him and we worked out the deal. It’s important for him to tell his story. He truly is caring and compassionate about the people in D.C. When he talks about the people, he wants to help.

It’s very important to him.”

“When people need help, he’s always been there. He’s a great man, who has done great things for the city. He gave a lot of people an opportunity. I know many people who he gave a job to.”

“People with a narrow focus on Marion Barry are robbing themselves of a rich experience.

There’s nothing we can do about people who hold a negative view. I would call it life. He’s significant to me. If he wasn’t significant, there wouldn’t be people spending their time trying to put him down.Unfortunately, people try to define him by one moment.”

Tyree, 45, said Zane brought him into the project and the author of 27 books said it took 11 months to complete.

“She called me and asked if I wanted to do the autobiography.

I said ‘Are you kidding me?’” said Tyree, a Philadelphia native and Howard University grad. “I had a first interview at his office and I wrote a four-page outline that I showed him. He was very impressed.”

He said health and time issues, and Barry’s insistence that they talk face-to- face lengthened the process.

Tyree said he’d only interviewed Barry once before when he worked as a writer for Capital Spotlight. But in the months they worked together his appreciation for Barry’s intellect, courage and accomplishments heightened the respect he has for the former mayor.

Often, one never knows from where Barry might draw inspiration or the connection made to some aspect of his life. On Sunday night, after the season finale of Game of Thrones, Barry tweeted his support for Tyrion Lannister, a character who has suffered a great deal and faced death because he’s a midget.

“He had a hard time in his life.

Other people have too, but midgets are short and have other deformities. I identify with him,” Barry said.

He likened Lannister’s challenges to those African Americans

THE EVIDENCE OF THINGS NOT SEEN It’s difficult for people who do not know Marion Barry’s long and storied legacy of racial and social activism in the District to celebrate him for any reason. It is not uncommon, in fact, to have new supplants arbitrarily reduce Barry to a mumbling, aged relic of progress, whose continued presence in politics is of no more value than his choppy news soundbytes. It would seem then, hardly beneficial to acknowledge Barry beyond his occasional offending comments and unpopular social positions.

So why does Barry continue to be as dangerous to some as he is popular to others?

While his heart tends to be in the right place, Barry’s methods have never been orthodox. Consequently, Barry has the ability to rally the hopeless, raise the stakes, and all but raise the dead. For instance, as a leader of the Free D.C. Movement, Barry founded a jobs program, Pride Inc. for unemployed Black men who otherwise would have fallen into an almost predictable cycle of unemployment, crime, and prison. Barry spoke truth to power – loudly, defiantly, and unabashedly. After being shot when Hanafi Muslims took over the District Building in 1977, Barry’s reputation as a fearless, an-

gry, and formidable leader, took root.

In addition to ending generations of marginalized economic advancement undergirded by the popular belief that D.C. remained populated by former slaves and federal government nannies, Barry offered many Blacks the ability to exercise full citizenship through financial security, homeownership, and access to decent education. Anyone fourteen years old and older had access to summer employment and a livable wage. In addition to building financial responsibility, Barry endeavored to build character and civic responsibility among the young workers.

Imagine inspiring young people that D.C. has ignored, forgotten, or paternalistically filed into a perma-

nent underclass to straighten their posture, demand full access, and strengthen their own communities.

Imagine watching a new generation of Marion Barrys shake off the stereotypes, challenge the system from its base, and with solid purpose redefine how politicians, corporations, and the federal government interact with the city.

Barry’s legacy also included improving the city’s financial buoyancy by ushering the District into the bond market with the highest credit rating possible, allowing the city to borrow money on the open bond market, independent of the U.S. Treasury.

The danger of a Marion Barry is yanking back the Wizard’s curtain to find no smoke or mirrors, no rabbits up sleeves, no magic elixirs or dust from the Crossroads. Instead, one finds is a battle-weary Black man from Mississippi who got fed up with the system and kicked a-- to change things for himself and the people around him. No person is all one thing. While the women, substance abuse, and grainy black and white surveillance footage from his 1990 arrest and the infamous “the b---- set me up” soundbyte have come to define his fifty-year career for some; it was a mere unfortunate

blip on the screen of an otherwise brilliant career to others. It’s not personal – necessarily, the revisionist history that creeps about labeling wise men fools and defining them by their Achilles’ heel. Barry is among many of its victims, and even at 78, he can handle it.

The danger of Marion Barry has nothing to do with his current frailty, some of the seemingly foolish things he utters, or his past indiscretions; and everything to do with those who have named him Mayor for Life in spite of it.

The Washington Informer partnered with students at The Richard Wright Public Charter School for Journalism and Media Arts in Southeast to discuss Barry’s philosophies, his early civil rights mission, his continued commitment to the disenfranchised of the city, and the major economic strides he made for the District. The goal was to introduce Barry’s political and social activism to students who would otherwise see only what they’re told to see. A few of the essays from the Richard Wright Public Charter School for Journalism and Media Arts students follow.

tirelessly to make extra money. Crammed in the one-room schoolhouse he attended sat children in grades one through six.

“It was awful. I don’t know how I learned to read,” Barry said. “I could read really well. God gave me the gift of my mind, charm, charisma and intelligence. I almost earned a Ph.D. It means something was going right.”

Barry said he’s not sure what accounts for his drive but credits God and his mother Mattie, who brooked no disrespect from those

seeking to demean or belittle her.

Barry has always been the lightning rod for controversy but he’s never shied away.

The strength of his first term, the promise, growth, and also the corruption, cronyism and other problems are well documented.

While acknowledging some of the problems, he also spoke of his role in spurring development in a moribund downtown D.C., creating the Office on Aging and summer jobs for young people.

Billionaire Bob Johnson and local real estate magnate R. Donahue Peeples benefited from their ties to Barry. He is also credited with creating D.C.’s middle class and contributing to the growth and development of communities in Prince George’s County.

“He’s a giver with no expectation of getting anything back,” Zane said. “For all the millionaires he created, he should be living in a 15,000-square-foot house. A lot of people, if no one helped them they’d stop giving. He’s internally motivated and externally focused.”

Even some of his harshest critics acknowledge Barry’s contributions.

At an event last week marking the 20th anniversary of the book “Dream City,” co-author Tom

Sherwood acknowledged Barry’s work.

“Barry has a record of things that people care about. They don’t just like him because he’s Marion Barry and the prosecutors chased after him,” he said. “If you had a senior citizen in this city who got a place to live finally and meals to eat, Barry did that. Summer jobs for kids. A lot of it was wasted money but tens of thousands of kids, 13-21, got jobs,” he said in a Washington Post story. “Some of them worked and didn’t get paid and some didn’t work and got paid, but many of them worked and got paid. He opened up the police department to African Americans who were shut out, something he had been fighting back in the 1960s.”

“Here’s the thing. It’s better to criticize Barry for what he didn’t do if you understand what he did do and why people were not blindly loyal to him. So your description of him having not done anything is not accurate. And that’s why people care about him. Because the other people didn’t.”WI

BY JUWAN BUGGIE Elected four-time mayor of Washington D.C., Marion S. Barry was not only a mayor, he was and still is a major civil rights activist. Mayor Barry was the most well-known, successful and, perhaps notorious mayor of Washington, D.C. He was notorious due to legal issues and scandals.

Despite all the issues Marion Barry faced, he still ran for mayor and won again. He was confident in his ability to help the residents in D.C. He created summer jobs for the teens of D.C. and fixed up Ward 8 neighborhoods. He cared about issues affecting the residents and liked working with people in the community. With his great personality and genuine care for people he became Mayor for Life.

Barry was born in Itta Bena, Mississippi. His childhood was not the easiest, His father worked as a sharecropper. Later on his mother moved to Memphis, Tennessee because of the death of his father. Barry had to get a job as a cotton picker so he could support his family. In 1958 he attended Le Moyne College where he received his Bachelor’s degree; later, he received his Master’s degree in chemistry for Fisk University. After that he was looking forward to getting his doctorate but he never did complete his goal of getting it. He was busy with civil rights and joined the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). The work of SNCC is still remembered today and its many members are honored.

In 1971 Barry began his career in politics. He was elected to D.C.’s first independent school board. After he served as president on the board he was elected onto city council. Marion Barry was elected mayor in 1978.

The philosophy that defined his work in advancing in social justice began with SNCC and his work with the civil rights movement. He believed that there should be equality for everyone and he also believed that the perception of Blacks in D.C. should change. He was the co-founder of Pride, Incorporated, an organization that became an employment program for Black men. He helped the youth of the District get summer jobs as well.

The way I would adopt and use this type of philosophy is by exceling at everything that I do and working my way up just like Marion Barry did.

He showed that even when there are struggles in your life, you can overcome them and keep moving forward. Sometimes you make bad choices in your life, but you don’t give up.

THE MAYOR FOR LIFE: MARION BARRY’S LIVED PHILOSOPHY

MAYOR FOR LIFE

Marion Shepilov Barry Jr. has lived an incredible life. He was born March 6, 1936 in Itta Bena, Mississippi, the third of ten children. After his father died, his mother moved the family to Memphis, Tennessee. As a child, Marion had many jobs including delivering newspapers, bagging groceries and picking cotton. He was a Boy Scout and earned the Eagle badge. At an early age he noticed racism while walking to school while white kids rode the bus. Education was very important to him. He attended LeMoyne-Owen College and also Fisk University where he earned his M.S. in Organic Chemistry.

While working on his doctorate he made the decision to become a politician to face discrimination since he had personally come in contact with it. He was Mayor of Washington, D.C. from 1979-1991 and again from 1995-1999. He was a four-term mayor. He still remains a D.C. Council member for Ward 8.

Fighting against racism is the philosophy that has defined his work in advancing social justice. In the 1960’s he was involved with the African American Civil Rights Movement. In 1965 he became the first chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). In 1967 Barry co-founded Pride Inc., a jobs program for unemployed men. In 1971 he became president of the Board of Education.

In 1990 he was arrested by FBI on a drug charge. He served six months in Federal prison. You would think that the situation would take a big toll on his career, but that did not happen at all. In fact he was elected council member after release in 1992, then mayor again serving 1995-1999. As a public politician in D.C. who had been a good person for so many years advancing social justice, it’s hard to think of him being involved with situations that are negative.

A social justice philosophy that I feel very strong about is to eradicate poverty.

If anyone who had the money to give 100 dollars to a shelter or a kitchen would, then it would feed a lot of people. Here in D.C. I see all these fancy houses, hotels and restaurants, and other establishments that are very wealthy and in those same neighborhoods, I see homeless people. It honestly makes absolutely no sense.

I volunteer at a charity called Martha’s Table at both the kitchen and the clothing store. The kitchen feeds many homeless and low-income people daily. The clothing store receives donations from the public and the sales help provide meals for the needy. I plan to help the needy throughout my life in various ways such as doing charity walks raising money things of that nature. I realize that poverty leads to other issues such as health problems as well as violence which can affect all of us.

On Marion Barry’s official D.C. Council website it states “Marion Barry Jr. has dedicated 40 years of his life to public service living the motto ‘always fighting for the people.’” His new memoir, Mayor for Life: The Incredible Life of Marion Barry Jr., tells about his lifelong service. It is published by New York Times bestselling author Zane and her company Strebor Books. Even though I wasn’t around long enough to know what he was like as mayor, I’ve done enough research and had talks with enough people to know and understand how great he was. With over 40 years of public service and the determination to persevere, D.C. Councilman Marion Barry Jr. is truly “Mayor for Life.”

BY TIARA STITH

Marion Barry was born in Itta Bena, Mississippi March 6, 1936 to Marion and Mattie Barry. His father was a sharecropper but he died when Marion was four years old. As a young boy Marion took on multiple jobs to help support his family. In 1958 he earned his bachelor’s degree from Le Moyne College and in 1960 he earned his master’s degree in chemistry from Fisk University. He could not fully get his doctorate degree because of his passion for the civil rights movement.

Marion Barry was the first national chairman for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. In 1965 he moved to Washington D.C. In 1967 he co-founded a jobs program for unemployed black men. In 1972 he became a part of D.C school board two years later he was elected for city council. When Hanafi Muslims took over the district building in 1977 Barry was shot.

He was the second elected mayor of Washington, D.C from 1979-1991. He was again elected as the fourth mayor 1995-1999. He’s been a Ward 8 Council Member since 2005. Marion was also named the “Mayor for Life.” To me this means that there are always other mayors but you-Marion Barry are the most memorable one of them all. The Washington Post said “to understand the District of Columbia, one must understand Marion Barry”.

To me, Marion Barry’s philosophy was to make D.C a better place for everybody and to promote equality. This is explained in the things he did for D.C and the things he is still doing now. When he was mayor, he created the Summer Youth Employment Program, which has continued from the 80s through today.

He also worked to make D.C a safer place for its residents along with cleaning up the streets of D.C. The work he started is incomplete because some people in D.C are still being unfairly treated. Even with the employment program he started for Black men, Pride, Incorporated, many Black males don’t even try to help themselves. Mr. Barry worked hard to get some of the resources we have today and some people are either misusing these resources, or not even trying to use them to help.

However, not all of his work went to waste. Some people do work with each other rather than against each other. The things he did and still do for D.C. are great because he actually is trying to help create a better place for the present and the future.

I would use Marion Barry’s philosophy of promoting equality in D.C. every day because it’s something I want to do. I would like to be able to help people while still giving them a fair chance at living great and meaningful lives. I want to help make a difference in someone else’s life. I want to be a person like Marion Barry, a person who can make a huge difference that helps every one. His philosophy will help me to become a better person and it has pointed me in the direction of helping people.

The philosophy of Marion Barry is simple and powerful. It is something that anyone can follow if they are willing to put in the time and work. Marion Barry seems to be a really good person with a great heart. He really cares about people more than he actually has to. We appreciate him.

MADE FOR LEADERSHIP: HOW MARION BARRY’S LEGACY SHAPES OTHERS FOR SOCIAL ACTIVISM

Does the name Marion Barry ring a bell by any chance? Because it should.

There aren’t many people who have had a career in social justice who have also been referred to as “Mayor for Life.” According to his former staffers, Barry, the man behind the Summer Youth Program helped employ hundreds of thousands of D.C. youth and teenagers, dedicated his life to public service living by the philosophy “always fighting for the people.”

Just like Barry, we all have the power to see hope and change in one another.

His passion for social justice is very esoteric to a nation that displays public mistakes as entertainment.

It was his mistakes and the ability to move pass them that have proven him to be a fighter.

Barry has supported social justice by helping people realize their potential in society, community and life. One example is being an active contributor to his community in Ward 8 and throughout the District. When I consider the question “what specific social justice endeavors would I adopt” or what would you bring to your community, it would be to improve my community overall.

I’ve thought of numerous ways I can help improve my community, but most of the ideas have already been done, so the only thing I would do is think of different ways to improve it.

Social causes like mentoring programs where the mentors are the teenagers of the D.C area, who create a positive environment and serve as role models by helping children alleviate stress they might have from home or school is my interest. I’d also like to start a media arts program at a local church that teaches children about how to make their own fictional character viable to viewers and grab their attention. But, there’s this one idea that I think is also able to help communities and it deals with grooming young people for leadership by developing their potential.

It’s so rare that our quiet, young adults get a chance to have their time in spotlights and get the attention they deserve. This is especially true when the misbehaving youth are constantly recognized for all the wrong reasons. Simple recognition of the bright young person can make them feel better about themselves, and isn’t that what real social justice is?

Helping the youth, tomorrow’s leaders, find themselves and their passion, is providing equal opportunities for all. So my work would be to recognize all deserving kids for their good and not their bad, giving someone a complement to make their day better without regard for their sexuality, age, or ethnicity.

“Always fighting for the people” doesn’t mean a person has to begin with a big advertisement for their works because that’s not how Marion Barry did it. You can always start off small because it gives you a chance to expand and improve your efforts.

To be the type of person who cares about others’ well-being and fight to strengthen those who cannot fight for themselves is how I would utilize Marion Barry’s philosophy of always fighting for the people. That is also how I will choose to be a better me and work to help out others in any way possible.

MONDAY, JULY 14, 2014

GOVERNMENT OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA OFFICE OF THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER OFFICE OF TAX AND REVENUE NOTICE OF REAL PROPERTY TAX SALE Notice is hereby given that all real properties described on the list below, for which real property taxes or vault rents (including penalties and interest, if applicable) were levied and in arrears on October 1, 2013, for which business improvement district taxes (including penalties and interest, if applicable) were levied and in arrears on September 1, 2013, or for which any other tax certified to the Office of Tax and Revenue (OTR) for collection hereunder remains unpaid, shall be sold at public auction to the highest bidder at the 2014 Real Property Tax Sale (Sale). The Sale shall be held pursuant to D.C. Official Code § 47-1330, et. seq.

The Sale shall begin on Monday, July 14, 2014, and continue, except Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays, until all the real properties available for sale are sold. During each day, the Sale shall be conducted from 8:30 a.m. until 12 noon and from 1 p.m. until 4 p.m., or until all the real properties scheduled for sale for that day are sold. The Sale shall occur at OTR located at 1101 4th Street, SW, West Building - 2nd Floor, Room W250, Washington, DC 20024.

All real properties are listed in square, suffix and lot, or parcel and lot, number order. The name of the owner of record of each real property is stated. Certain real properties on this list do not have street or premise addresses; therefore, none can be provided. A real property without a street or premise address number is generally stated on the below list as having a “0” as a street or premise address number. Street or premise addresses for real properties are provided where available and strictly as an accommodation; the only description upon which you may rely is the square, suffix and lot, or parcel and lot, numbers.

The list states the amount for which each real property may be sold at the Sale, and an additional $200.00 Tax Sale Fee shall be added at the time of the sale. The stated amount for which a real property may be offered for sale can be lower than what an owner would have to pay in order to prevent the real property from being sold. Owners must contact OTR to determine the amount that must be paid in order to avoid the sale of their real properties.

Purchasers must be aware that additional liabilities, which are not reflected in the total amount for which the real properties are offered at the Sale, may be due and owing on real properties and such additional liabilities may include liens previously sold to a third party. A purchaser at the Sale acts at his or her own risk, must exercise due diligence in selecting real properties upon which to bid, and must bid in good faith.

At the Sale, the purchaser acquires a certificate of sale to the real property that may ripen into title if the owner (or other party with an interest) fails to redeem. The owner (or other party with an interest) has a statutory right to redeem the real property until his or her equity of redemption has been foreclosed by the purchaser’s lawsuit. If the owner (or other party with an interest) fails to redeem the real property, the Superior Court of the District of Columbia may order that a deed be issued to the purchaser after the purchaser pays all taxes, costs and expenses. The purchaser shall monitor tax payment schedules provided by OTR on its Web site, www.taxpayerservicecenter.com, and shall surrender the certificate of sale to receive a refund if the property shall have been redeemed.

A certificate of sale may be canceled if, inter alia, it is later determined that the delinquent taxes, including accrued interest and penalties, were satisfied before the end of the last day of the Sale. The date of sale of any real property shall be deemed to be the last day of the Sale, regardless of the actual day of the Sale during which the real property was offered and sold. The certificates of sale shall indicate the date of sale as being the last day of the Sale.

Purchasers shall have filed Form FR-500, Combined Business Tax Registration Application, prior to registering.

This form may be filed online by visiting OTR’s Web site, www.taxpayerservicecenter.com, or in person at OTR located at 1101 4th Street, SW, 2nd Floor - Customer Service Center, Washington, DC 20024. A potential purchaser, including a natural person or business entity, delinquent in the payment of in rem taxes (e.g. real property taxes) to the District, or who has been convicted of a felony involving fraud, deceit, moral turpitude, or anti-competitive behavior, may not bid at the tax sale or otherwise acquire an interest in real property sold at the tax sale. A potential purchaser, including a natural person or business entity, must certify that such purchaser: 1) is not more than one year in arrears in any jurisdiction in the payment of in rem taxes not being contested in good faith; and 2) has not been convicted in any jurisdiction of a felony involving fraud, deceit, moral turpitude, or anti-competitive behavior.

Registration for the Sale is mandatory and begins on Monday, July 7, 2014. Registration shall continue until the final day of the Sale. Purchasers must register for the Sale at OTR’s Customer Service Center, located at 1101 4th Street, SW, 2nd Floor - Customer Service Center, Washington, DC 20024. Prior to bidding at the Sale, a purchaser of real property must have made a deposit of at least 20% of the total purchase price. ALL PAYMENTS MUST BE MADE TO THE D.C. TREASURER BY CASH, CERTIFIED CHECK, CASHIER’S CHECK, OR POSTAL MONEY ORDER. OTR will conduct four public seminars to explain tax sale procedures. Because of recent statutory changes to the tax sale, purchasers are especially encouraged to attend. The seminars will be held at 1101 4th Street, SW, 2nd Floor – Room W250, Washington, DC 20024, on Wednesday, June 25, 2014, and Thursday, June 26, 2014. During each day, a seminar will take place from 9:30 a.m. until 12:00 p.m., and another seminar will take place from 2:00 p.m. until 4:30 p.m. During each of the four seminars, OTR will explain the entire sale process and follow-up with a question and answer period. OTR strongly encourages all potential purchasers to attend one of the seminars. The seminars are free and all are welcome. To enroll in a seminar, please call OTR at (202) 727-4TAX (4829), or visit its Customer Service Center at 1101 4th Street, SW. Enrollment is mandatory for anyone planning to attend one of the seminars.

Enrollment will be granted on a first-come/first-served basis, and will continue until all available slots are taken.

Ruby Dee 1922-2014

America lost another one of its brightest lights last Wednesday when actress, civil rights activist and humanitarian Ruby Dee died at the age of 91.

She burst onto the national scene when she appeared in “Raisin in the Sun” and for 70 years, Dee painted an exquisite portrait of work on a palette that bled from art to life and back. She began acting in the 1940s and over the years cemented a body of work on myriad platforms that illustrated her depth, artistry, complexity and range as a performer in Hollywood and on Broadway.

Dee won a Golden Globe and secured an Oscar nomination for “American Gangster,” and won a Grammy for a spoken word album, an Emmy in 1991 for “Decoration Day,” and a 1972 Drama Desk award for “Wedding Band.”

Equally important, along with her late husband Ossie Davis, remains her devotion to civil rights and humanitarian causes. They battled vigorously against discrimination in the arts, opposed lynching, spoke out forcefully and protested against the Vietnam War, stood up to Sen. Joseph McCarthy and his witch hunt against progressives and supposed Communists, protested South Africa’s apartheid policies, and pushed white-owned banks to provide business loans to Harlem’s black residents.

They befriended the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., served as MCs at the 1963 March on Washington and were close friends of Malcolm X. Davis offered a stirring eulogy for Malcolm following his assassination in 1965.

Film director Spike Lee captured the essence of this power couple, who had one of Hollywood’s most enduring love stories and who were married for 56 years. “They were strong and brave at a time when many Negro entertainers stood on the sidelines,” he told movie critic Roger Ebert during an interview. “Ruby and Ossie were by Malcolm’s side, they were with Dr. King in Birmingham, Selma, and the March on Washington, and never worried about the negative impact it might have on their careers.”

May she rest in peace.

Schwartz Shakes up Mayor’s Race Former D.C. Council member Carol Schwartz has shaken up the mayor’s race with her announcement that she intends to pursue the top job.

This foray into the race is her fifth, after runs in 1986, 1994, 1998 and 2002.

The announcement has generated surprise and growing excitement from an electorate that no longer trusts its local politicians and who seek people representing them that they can trust.

Though they have done nothing politically to earn the opprobrium of voters, mayoral candidates Muriel Bowser and David Catania are seen as being guilty by association. Several of their colleagues have been embroiled in scandal and a weary electorate voted with its feet during the April 1 primary.

Schwartz has lived in the District for 50 years and served on the council for 16 years as a Republican. She endeared herself to D.C. residents by her positions and legislation that indicated her love for her adopted community. In a statement released last Monday, Schwartz said she’s watched closely from the sidelines and has been concerned about what’s happening in the city now and what it will look like in the future. Schwartz hit out at the political establishment for the corruption that has sullied Washington’s image.

Her greatest concern, she said, stems from many longtime D.C. residents being left behind or pushed out of the city. “In fact,” she said, “our glorious diversity is being threatened.”

Schwartz said she wants to give voters a clear choice over Bowser and Catania. People she’s talked to around the city seek someone they can comfortably vote for, Schwartz said, and she feels she’s that person.

The next few months will be quite interesting.

Mayor for Life!

It’s true: Marion Barry is our mayor for life! There has not been nor will there ever be another politician who will be able to do what Marion Barry did for this city.

That’s why I thoroughly enjoyed the article, “Barry’s Life Takes Center Stage,” by Barrington Salmon that appeared in the June 12 edition.

Most of the new residents of the District of Columbia don’t have a clue as to why Marion Barry is so loved by so many.

They probably only know of his highly publicized struggles with the law, and can’t understand why anyone would hold him in such high esteem. Those who know him know what he did for this city and love him for it. He gave so much to so many and took nothing for himself.

He proved to the world that African Americans could run a major city, and run it well. A black police chief, a black fire chief, a black school superintendent, and a black city administrator – Barry gave them all a chance to show what they could do.

And in the summer, if a young person wanted to work, his administration provided jobs for them.

Marion Barry was bold and very determined to see that the residents of the District got everything they deserved, and when he was challenged he didn’t back down. He gave the residents a sense of pride in our city and we finally felt that we were an important part of the District.

Washington D.C. would not be what it is today if it were not for Marion Barry, period!

Go-Go Meets Classical!

What a fantastic article “District Orchestra Unlikely Mix, Excites Audiences” in the June 12th edition of The Informer

by Stacy Brown. Who would have ever thought, a Go-Go Symphony! This is creative music at its best, the hard beating sounds of the streets of D.C. mixed with the symphonic sounds of an orchestra.

I haven’t had the chance to hear this wonderful form of music, but I can’t wait to catch them at the Atlas Performing Arts Center in Northeast Washington. I grew up listening to go-go and still dance to it whenever I hear it. To me it’s the equivalent of my parents talking about listening to Motown when they were growing up. Well, go-go music is my Motown. Music is an art form that’s constantly changing. When a certain style of music is adopted by and identified with a community, it’s legitimate and therefore should be studied, taught, and expanded upon. The Go-Go Symphony seems to be a great example of this.

Thanks for letting the community know about this new and exciting pairing and, as usual, The Washington Informer does a great job of bringing us “the good stuff.”

Parental Involvement Needed

The article, “Parents Protest Ouster of PTSA President,” by Sam P.K. Collins in the June 12-18 paper, is just the kind of catalyst needed in the black community for getting more people to recognize the importance parental involvement plays in the education of our children.

For too long, too many parents have used the lame excuse of having to “go to work” or that “no one listens to our opinions,” to keep from developing a vested interest in what’s really going on with the District’s public schools.

With those kinds of excuses, these “absentee parents” have chosen instead to strengthen apathetic attitudes that have enabled city and school officials to forge ahead with plans that benefit them more than the youngsters who count on them for acquiring the best possible free education they can get.

While many parents chose not to get involved in the PTA or community meetings and public hearings where they have the ability as individuals or as a group to offset or challenge decisions made without their input and consent, they’re usually the very ones who sit home in front of a TV screen, calling for an ouster once those changes – such as the school closings last year – become final.

I want to thank all the parents – even though their numbers were small –and the members of Empower DC – who sometimes have been the lone voice in the fight for our students’ right to a quality education – for caring enough to take the time on June 2 to organize and participate in the rally at McKinley Technology Education Campus in protest of the PTSA president’s dismissal.

It’s these kinds of parents, community members and activists who can repeatedly hold school officials’ feet to the fire to produce better outcomes for all children enrolled in public schools in the District.

Hollywood Gets a Low Diversity Rating The first detailed study of the relationship between diversity and the bottom line in the Hollywood entertainment industry has found that although diversity pays – literally –people of color and women are still woefully underrepresented throughout film and television.

The study titled, “2014 Hollywood Diversity Report: Making Sense of the Disconnect,” was conducted by the Ralph J. Bunch

Center for African-American Studies at UCLA. It looked at 172 theatrical films released in 2011 and 1,061 television shows that aired during the 2011-12 season. It looked at race and gender and key production roles, including cast diversity, the show’s creator, the writer, the director, awards and domestic and international box offices.

Frequent moviegoers represent just 10 percent of the population, but purchase half of all movie tickets, the report stated.

“It is important to note here

that minorities are overrepresented among the ranks of frequent moviegoers, those who contribute most to overall box office,” it said. “In 2011, minorities accounted for 44.1 percent of frequent moviegoers, a figure that exceeded their 36.3 percent share of the overall U.S. population.”

But you wouldn’t know it by the roles people of color play in the industry.

“Historically, there has been a death of gender, racial, and ethnic diversity in film and tele-

vision – both in front of and behind the camera,” the report stated. “This reality has meant limited access to employment for women and minorities and to a truncating of the domain of media images available for circulation in contemporary society…Media images contribute greatly to how we think about ourselves in relation to others.

“When marginalized groups in society are absent from stories a nation tells about itself, or when media images are rooted primarily in stereotype, inequity is

normalized and is more likely to be reinforced over time through our prejudices and practices.”

The report found that although people of color represent 36.3 percent of the population, in film: Of the 172 films examined for 2011, only 10.5 percent of the lead roles were played by people of color and most of them were in such Black-targeted movies as “Jumping the Broom” and Tyler Perry’s “Madea’s Big Happy Family.”

Did the UNCF Make a Deal with the Devil?

When the Koch Foundation gave the United Negro College Fund $25 million, it set off a maelstrom of comments in cyberspace and real time. How dare the UNCF take money from the Koch brothers, some asked. They ought to send it back, said others.

What’s wrong with this picture?

Koch scholarships will be awarded to students with good

grades, financial needs, and an interest in studying how “entrepreneurship, economics and innovation contribute to well-being for individuals, communities, and society.” Sounds like conservative free markets to me.

More than that, it sounds like granting scholarships to further the Koch government-reducing, free market focus. Koch protects its interest by having two seats on the five member scholarship committee, with the other three from the UNCF. While

non-Koch interests are the majority, it will be interesting to see if a donor can sway a committee.

What else? The Koch brothers are making the most of this gift in the media. Rarely have I seen so many headlines generated by a gift of that size. $100 million, maybe. $250 million, surely. But while $25 million will mean a lot to the UNCF, schools such as Harvard would likely consider it nothing more than a modest behest. The Koch brothers must think they’ll get some

positive publicity from their gift, and they obviously have the PR team to pitch it.

Furthermore, these are the very Koch brothers who have supported voter suppression efforts. They would reduce the size of government, which means the Pell grants that so many students depend on would shrink in size.

What one hand gives, in other words, the other takes away. If the Koch brothers would fight to maintain or increase the size of the Pell grant, fewer would look

askance at their gift. Instead, many see this as the cynical manipulation of a deep-pockets donor who gets much publicity from their gift.

It kind of reminds me of the Donald Sterling gift to the Los Angeles branch of the NAACP. After Sterling’s racist rant, his donation was returned. Still, the NAACP was in the process of giving him a second lifetime achievement award prior to his

Republicans Should Learn from Cantor’s Mistake Last week’s defeat of House Republican Majority Leader Eric Cantor sent shock waves throughout D.C. like I have never seen before. But, in Cantor’s defeat, I see great opportunity for the Republican Party to make inroads into the Black community.

Cantor represents Virginia’s 7th Congressional District, which is a suburb of Richmond. According to the 2010

U.S. Census, it has a population of 757,917 (74.3 percent White, 17.1 percent Black), median income of $ 64,751. In other words, it is the definition of a middle-class district. The district is rated as a solid Republican (R+10).

Before we can understand how Republicans can learn from this, we must understand why Cantor lost. It was a total repudiation of the lack of leadership and vision within the Republican congressional leadership.

How could Cantor justify

supporting amnesty for illegals when there are 50 million Americans out of work? How could he justify giving in-state tuition to illegals when American-born Americans can barely afford college? How could Cantor justify illegal children getting accommodations at a 5-star military base when American children are being moved from homeless shelter to homeless shelter?

Cantor’s constituents (Black and White) were asking him some very simple questions: Who is looking out for me and The Washington Informer

my interests?

With 17.1 percent of Cantor’s constituents being Black, he should have known that he was on the wrong side of the amnesty issue. Blacks are the single largest demographic group that opposes amnesty, despite support from such Black groups as the NAACP, the National Urban League, and the Congressional Black Caucus.

If Cantor had some credible Blacks around him, he would have known that Blacks are thoroughly disillusioned with Obama

and his policies and they are willing to look at supporting a “viable” Republican alternative.

Republicans fail to see that immigration is a cross-over issue that unites both Blacks and Whites.

Paul E. Peterson, professor of government at Harvard University, wrote in the Wall Street Journal, “Gains under the Obama administration by all students range between minimal and nonexistent, and the black-white gap

Return of the Unjust Greedy Weasels This column is not about the recent story making headlines in New York City on Mayor Bill de Blasio’s proposal to lift a ban on pet ferrets. But it is about weasels. Age-old weasels still causing Americans pain and suffering and blocking progress towards a better, safer America for all.

Sojourner Truth was a brilliant but illiterate slave woman, a great orator, and a powerful presence who possessed great courage.

She challenged the racial and gender caste system of slavery by suing for the return of a son sold away from her. She got thrown off Washington, D.C. streetcars but kept getting back on until they changed the rules and let her ride. She stood up with fiery eloquence to opponents and threatening crowds who tried to stop her from speaking. When a hostile White man told her that the hall where she was scheduled to appear would be burnt down if she spoke, she replied, “Then I will speak to the ashes.”

When taunted while speaking in favor of women’s rights by some White men who asked if she was really a woman, she bared her breasts and allegedly famously retorted, “Ain’t I a woman?,” detailing the back-breaking double burden of slavery’s work and childbearing she had endured.

When heckled by a White man in her audience who said he didn’t care any more about her antislavery talk than for an old flea bite, she snapped back, “Then the Lord willing, I’ll keep you scratching.” And when decrying

her exclusion from America’s life and professed freedoms during a religious meeting where another speaker had just praised the Constitution, she said: “… Now I hears talkin’ about de Constitution and de rights of man. I comes up and I takes hold of dis Constitution. It looks mighty big, and I feels for my rights, but der aint any dare. Den I says, God, what ails dis Constitution? He says to me, ‘Sojourner, dere is a little weasel in it.’”

The version captured here in an 1863 edition of the Nation-

al Anti-Slavery Standard shares a flaw with many existing accounts of her speeches—they were often written down in the mock Southern dialect that 19th-century readers identified with all slaves, despite the fact that Sojourner Truth was born and raised in rural New York as the slave of a Dutch-speaking family, spoke Dutch as a child, took pride in speaking correct English as an adult, and reportedly sounded like White New

Perceptions of Equality A recent interview of Morgan Freeman by CNN host Don Lemon lit a firestorm of conversation. Freeman argued that his personal success, and that of Lemon’s, made it clear that racism was not a factor in closing America’s growing problem of inequality. Freeman argued that inequality was a crisis because a vibrant middle class was needed for the growth of the economy and stability of society, and the

current chasm between the 1 percent and the 99 percent was unhealthy. Clearly, Freeman’s views on inequality are incontrovertible, so why the storm about his statement on the role of race?

Recent work by business school professors Clayton Critcher, of the University of California-Berkeley, and Jane Risen, of the University of Chicago, note that people’s views about the role of racism in America’s inequality is shaped by their knowledge of African

Americans who succeed outside the realm of current Black success, like professional sports or music. When shown pictures of African-American business leaders, for instance, even in the context that the individual is an exception, the respondents become less sympathetic toward the racial polarization of American life and its role in holding down African-Americans.

But the narrative used to explain high poverty, high unemployment and low wealth among African Americans is important,

ASKIA-AT-LARGE

not just to race relations, but because the story line Americans buy in accepting the tenuous economic position of African Americans is integral to the story line of accepting American inequality broadly.

How does one explain how America alone as a democracy is so accepting of levels of inequality that are closer to Mexico and Turkey than to France, Canada or Denmark? How do we elect politicians that benefit the 1 percent to such extremes, and are in the process of destroying

class mobility-once the key to America’s core identity?

Despite moments of exceptions like for their geo-political role in sports victories when Jessie Owens won at the 1936 Berlin Olympics and Joe Louis knocked out Max Schmelling in 1938, America held fast to denying African-Americans access to the American dream of social mobility. Southern Democrats in Congress are included in shaping the New Deal to limit Afri-

Don’t Forget Juneteenth: Holiday Declared by Slaves All hail Juneteenth, the holiday that was declared by enslaved Africans in America. Africans were not “slaves” even though they were enslaved. They never accepted the condition. They were never comfortable with it.

Juneteenth is June 19, 1865, the day a column of Union troops arrived at Galveston, Texas and read the Emancipation Proclamation, freeing the enslaved persons in Texas two

years and six months after it was proclaimed, and one year and two months after the conclusion of the Civil War which presumably decided the issue of slavery permanently.

After many, many slave rebellions and a virtual “industry” of runaways via the Underground Railroad and other means, more than 200,000 Africans fought bravely for their own freedom in the Civil War and were the deciding force in the victory which preserved the Union, the United States of America.

What makes Juneteenth special is not that Gen. Gordon Granger and his troops declared those who had been enslaved to be free, or even that it was way late in coming to the them in Texas, but rather that without consultation with any authorities, without waiting to be told what to do, the Africans knew exactly what to do – desist from slaving!

The enslaved Africans in Texas did not get a chance to run away to safety behind Union lines during the war, where they

could then join the U.S. Colored Troops and fight for their freedom against the Confederate traitors who wanted to keep Black folks in bondage forever.

The celebration was short lived however. Just 12 years later, the infamous Hayes-Tilden Compromise was negotiated in order to elect Rutherford B. Hayes president after the 1876 election was deadlocked, and a wholesale betrayal of Black people and their interests was engineered, returning the Johnnie Rebs back to power, and remov-

ing federal troops which had protected Black people from the lynch-mob’s rope in the former Confederate states. But the Juneteenth celebrations continue to this very day.

Jim Crow segregation became the law of the land in the slave states, Blacks were powerless to resist, and the White folks in the rest of the country looked the other way as the Ku Klux Klan was born, and what eventually became 100 years of lynching

Talking All that

JAZZ in DC 28 June 19 - June 25, 2014

By Stacy M. Brown WI Contributing Writer Pack a bag; grab a blanket and take some time off from work, that’s the advice from Sunny Sumter, the executive director of the DC Jazz Festival which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year.

“I’m serious. It’s a family affair and if it’s your first time, you should grab a brochure, take out a calendar and plan some activities. I think it’s a great time to take off from work, take a vacation because it’s a lot of fun and

The Washington Informer

it’s also exhausting,” said Sumter, who’s responsible for activities surrounding the festival.

In the previous nine years, those who have attended the jazz fest have been treated to some of the most electric names in jazz and for the 60,000-plus who visit each year, organizers have consistently succeeded in adding unique features including the popular, “Jazz in the Hoods,” program where more than 80 performances take place in 40 neighborhood venues in each quadrant of the District.

“We have so many people who come to D.C. from all over the world and the idea is that no mater where you live in the District, you can come outside your home and hear jazz and see jazz musicians,” Sumter said.

This year’s festival, which begins Tuesday, June 24 to Sunday, June 29, will have a diverse group of established and emerging artists, including Grammy nominee Gregory Porter, Trombone Shorty, Yasiin Bey whom many know as Mos Def, Cyrus Chestnut, the Dizzy Gillespie

Afro-Cuban Experience, and the Brass-A-Holics.

“We’re ecstatic to have reached this milestone and are delighted to have attracted jazz lovers from around the world to enjoy our nation’s original art form,” said Michael Sonnenreich, chairman of the festival’s board of directors.

Among this year’s attractions, “Jazz at the Hamilton Live,” a production that will consist of 10 nights of performances and a broad representation of the genre’s finest artists, Sumter said.

Roy Hargrove, Paquito D’Rivera and Snarky Puppy are among those scheduled for the main stage while Sumter said she’s particularly excited about up and coming artists like Helen Sung and Tia Fuller.

“This is a tribute to the rising young women of jazz. Tia Fuller is a fabulous young saxophonist who’s played for Beyonce and then you have Helen Sung, who’s wonderful,” Sumter said.

“Jazz at The Hamilton Live” will also host a, “Prelude Kickoff Concert,” on Saturday, June 21 with a performance by Hargrove, a two-time Grammy Award winner, and his hard-bop quintet.

“The ‘Hamilton Live’ is thrilled to host [10] nights of vivacious jazz this month,” said Tom Meyer, president of Clyde’s Restaurant Group. “We are excited to join the festival in celebrating its 10 years of success with some of the best jazz artists on the music scene.”

Additionally, in partnership with the Phillips Collection, “Jazz ’n Family Fun Days,” returns this year and Sumter said it will be a celebration of the synergy between jazz and the visual arts with performances by more than a dozen regional artists and youth ensembles in the Phillips Collection’s music room and auditorium in Northwest.

Organizers said another added bonus to this year’s event will be the East River Jazz Festival series, with artists who are exclusively from the Greater Washington, D.C. area, who are making a name for themselves nationally and around the world.

Five programs featuring local talent will be held during the East River Jazz Festival series and include artists such as Marc Cary, Kush Abadey, Ron Sutton, Corcoran Holt, Cherie Mitchell-Augers, Lyle Link, Jabari Exum, and Alan Palmer.

Events for the East River series will be held at the Anacostia Playhouse in Southeast, the Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens in Northeast, Jazz@Wesley Uptown in Northwest, and

THEARC in Southeast.

Festival organizers will also host a DC Jazz Loft Series which will present some of the most ambitious programming, including three nights of music and an all-evening block party. The series, which begins Thursday, June 26 to Saturday, June 28, will pit pianist Orrin Evans against Lafayette Gilchrist and Allyn Johnson in a “cutting contest” based on the informal, late-night competitions where piano greats such as Duke Ellington and James P. Johnson earned their earliest bragging rights.

Also, the, “Jazz at the Riverfront,” event returns and it will be held at the Capitol Riverfront, located along the Anacostia River and south of the U.S. Capitol Building.

Frederic Yonnet, Akua Allrich, Porter, Orleans Avenue, Bey, the Rebirth Brass Band, and Irma Thomas will be included in what organizers are calling a

three-day blowout that will also have a marketplace, a food and beverage tasting, a chef demonstration and a host of family-friendly activities.

“This remarkable all-star lineup represents the best in jazz and exemplifies the richness and soulfulness of the genre,” said Charles Fishman, the festival’s artistic director. “We couldn’t ask for a better way to kick off jazz in June and celebrate the past decade, which has been filled with unforgettable moments that have helped shape D.C. into the international jazz hub that it is today.” WI For tickets and information about the DC Jazz Festival, visit www.dcjazzfest.org.

By Stacy M. Brown WI Contributing Writer Plans have yet to be finalized for the private funeral of legendary actress and activist Ruby Dee and details of a public memorial are still being discussed.

It only stands to reason that such arrangements require substantial time as Dee, who died on June 12, at her home in New Rochelle, New York, had quite the fan base and many admirers around the world.

Any memorial service, public or otherwise, would certainly rival that of a head of state or decorated war veteran.

“We lost a jewel, Mrs. Ruby Dee. So great, so loved,” said actor Samuel L. Jackson, who worked alongside the Emmy, Grammy and Spingarn Medal recipient in director Spike Lee’s 1991 film, “Jungle Fever.”

Lee, who also directed Dee in his 1989 film, “Do the Right Thing,” said the actress left a lasting and uncompromised legacy in film, spoken word, and activism.

“It has been one of my great blessings in life to work with two of the finest artists and activists, Ruby and Ossie Davis, who were in the battlefields with Paul Robeson, Malcom X, and

Dr. Martin Luther King,” the filmmaker said. “Ruby and Ossie served as a living example that one could be an artist and still deal with what it means to be a black woman and a black man in these United States.”

President Barack Obama, talk show host Oprah Winfrey, and Attorney General Eric Holder also counted among the myriad politicians and celebrities to offer remembrances of Dee. Locally, fans of the elegant superstar and others around the District took time out of their hectic and harried lives to express their appreciation for Dee’s unwavering commitment to the common man.

“When you understand that she lived 91 years, you get a better appreciation that the good does sometimes outlast the bad because Ruby Dee not only stood for what was good, but she fought for it and did so openly when it could have cost her an acting career and millions of dollars,” said Charles Smith, a Potomac, Maryland resident who attended a Washington Redskins educational seminar and football camp with his son, David on Saturday, June 14.

“You won’t find many who would be willing to sacrifice what

“She and her husband are legends for the right reasons,” said Angela Cromartie, a school aide in Northwest. “They cared and they showed that they cared and you never got the impression that they stuck their chests out in any way.”

The couple’s activism continued long after the civil rights movement. In 1999, Dee and Davis landed in a New York jail for protesting the police shooting of the unarmed African immigrant, Amadou Diallo.

In 2005 Dee and Davis received the Lifetime Achievement Freedom Award from the National Civil Rights Museum located in Memphis, Tennessee.

The two also shared a home in Mount Vernon, a New York neighborhood comprised primarily of African Americans.

Hollywood actors, music stars and athletes, including Poitier, Denzel Washington, Ben Gordon, Ralph Branca, “P. Diddy,” and the late E.B. White, Art Carney, Dick Clark, and “Heavy D,” also hailed from Mount Vernon,

a 4.4 square-mile city located just above the Bronx.

Dee leaves behind her three children, Guy Davis, Hasna Muhammad Davis and Nora Day Davis.

“Through her remarkable performances, Ruby paved the way for generations of black actors and actresses, and inspired African-American women across our country,” Obama said. “Through her leadership in the civil rights movement, she and her husband, Ossie Davis, helped open new doors of opportunity for all.” WI

Dee grew up in Harlem, New York and, in 1941, she joined the American Negro Theatre, a repertory company best known for launching the careers of Harry Belafonte and Sidney Poitier, whom she’d later appear opposite in the groundbreaking Broadway play, “A Raisin in the Sun,” in 1959.

She earned the National Board of Review Award for Best Supporting Actress in, “A Raisin in the Sun,” an original production

by Lorraine Hansberry.

Dee appeared in more than 100 films and television shows, earning numerous awards and recognition.

She and Ossie Davis, her husband of 57 years, stood tall during the civil rights movement, working for the ideal of racial equality and freedom for all.

The couple stood shoulder-to-shoulder with King and others during the many marches and demonstrations of the 1950s and 1960s.

Dee served as a member of the Congress of Racial Equality, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.

Whether an ardent supporter or a detractor, there’s one thing unmistakable about Michael Jackson: He’s still the undisputed “King of Pop.” Five years after his death, Jackson remains the most talked about star in music. His estate has ballooned in value, with some estimates placing its worth at between $600 million and $2 billion.

“There’s only been one Michael Jackson and what we’ve been able to see after his death was a groundswell of people who wanted to get reacquainted with what made him so special,” said Arthur Moore, a sound engineer who lives and works in Northeast.

Last month, Jackson’s estate executors released a new posthumous album, “Xscape,” which hit the top spot on music charts in 50 countries. A hologram of the late “Thriller” singer appeared at the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas, bringing a standing-room-only crowd to its feet with many of them weeping over their fallen idol.

Earlier this month, court filings showed that Jackson’s three children, Prince, 17, Paris, 16, and Blanket, 12, receive a hefty $8 million annual allowance because of their father’s vast earnings since his death on June 25, 2009 at the age of 50.

«It›s a shame that they don›t have their father, but I›d imagine that the consolation is that he left his children in a great financial position and he left his fans some good material that will keep his voice and talent alive for them,” Rochelle Ledbetter, a Southeast resident whose been a fan of Jackson since the legend and his brothers joined Motown Records in the late 1960s.

Ledbetter, 58, and other fans can expect much more music from the late superstar who officially earned the title, “King of Pop,” after his 1982, “Thriller,” album sold more than 50 million copies worldwide and became

the best-selling record in history.

Jackson’s estate executors, fronted by attorneys John Branca and music producer John McClain, said his most recent release, “Xscape,” will prove to be a prelude of what’s to come.

They said there are ambitious plans to include as many as eight more albums culled from outtakes and repackaged material.

“We’ve got more surprises coming,” producer Rodney Jerkins told Rolling Stone magazine. Jerkins worked with Jackson on his 2001, “Invincible,” album and “Xscape.”

Also, fans can enjoy the “Jackson Experience,” on video games of the singer that continue to be successful and a Cirque du Soleil tour that began in Las Vegas and has proved popular all around the country.

“The estate has done a very good job and you think of how dysfunctional it could be,” said Dan Beck, a former Epic Records executive who worked closely with Jackson. “We may not like particular elements of it, but Michael made the music, and they’ve kept that going.”

Jackson’s career spanned five decades with hits such as, “I Want You Back,” “The Love You Save,” “Off the Wall,” “Beat It,” “Billie Jean,” “Bad,” and “Man in the Mirror,” propelling him as arguably the greatest pop star in music history.

His posthumous albums, “Michael,” and “Xscape,” have featured previously unreleased songs Jackson held over from al-

“The Man from Essence: Creating a Magazine for Black Women”

TAURUS It’s not like you’ve been rubbing your socks against the carpet, but there’s a lot of static electricity in the air. Expect your interactions with others to be charged (so, therefore, if someone ends up barking at you, or you at them, chalk it up to the stars). Spend arm-inarm time with someone who understands you intuitively, the way a fish understands water; you’re destined to be fraught with dilemmas no matter what you do, dilemmas of the small but vexing variety. Take all the time you need, relief is on the way.

It’s never been done before.

It’s never been done, it’s never been tried.

Maybe it’s never been thought of, either, but that hasn’t stopped you. Once a valid idea pops into your head, it’s not long before the idea becomes more.

You’ve been around long enough to know, however, that the road to success can be paved with spikes and nothing ever happens smoothly. In “The Man from Essence” by Edward Lewis (with Audrey Edwards), you’ll see that that phenomenon crosses all industries.

By age 28, Edward Lewis had already endured his share of awkwardness: he’d lost a football scholarship at one college and had flunked out of law school at another. He was, however, able to find and keep a good job at a major bank in Manhattan, which led to an opportunity that would “transform” his life.

The vice president of a New York investment firm invited a “bunch of … young bloods” to a think-tank meeting, promising them financing if they came up with a business idea that would work. One of the attendees mentioned that his mother always dreamed of a magazine specifically for “Negro” women and, offhandedly, the investment VP paired him and two others with Lewis, who knew “something about finance.”

Eager to own their own business, the four men – Clarence Smith, Jonathan Blount, Cecil Hollingsworth, and Lewis – set up a partnership in March 1969, and began looking for an editor for their new maga-

ARIES The clean slate is refreshing, isn’t it? The future is indeed bright. You are walking proof that hard work, with or without luck, is the key to success. Hard work must be done ‘getting through frustrating times with a smile on your face’ variety, but you are a pro at this. What’s frustrating may simply be that so much is up in the air; focus instead on relieving someone else’s frustrations and yours will vanish.

zine, even though they “knew a little more than zip about Negro women and the consumer market … they comprised.”

There was, of course, a learning curve – including a disastrous almost-name of the magazine, staffing problems and many wars of words – but in the spring of 1970, Essence magazine debuted. Despite an initial problem with funding, a revolving editorial door, plenty of in-fighting, lawsuits, ousting of partners, and “out-of-control behavior,” the magazine thrives with a readership that today “remains ever faithful.” And of the original four partners, Lewis was the “last man standing” when Essence Communications Inc. was sold to Time Warner in 2008.

This story of a magazine as told by “The Man from Essence” is a good one. It’s filled with advice, insight, and hot-button gossip, but that’s not all. It also includes stories about people who probably won’t like those stories told.

Indeed, author Edward Lewis (with Audrey Edwards) leaves nothing unsaid in this business memoir and I found that completely irresistible. Here, readers learn a bit of background on what it takes to launch a successful magazine – what to do and definitely what not to do – and we get a behind-thescenes taste of a business like this. Along the way, Lewis gives us a sense of the times and attitudes in which this iconic magazine was launched and incubated, which is both entertaining and informative.

That makes this book a nice surprise, and not just for fans of the magazine. If you’re up for an advice-dispensing business biography that also dishes dirt, in fact, “The Man from Essence” is a book to try.WI

Forger, Jackson›s longtime engineer.

Reportedly, Jackson had an additional 20 to 30 songs per album that weren’t released, making it possible that those tracks comprise several new albums in the future.

“I’m sure there are a few more great things out there,” Jerkins said. “Hopefully, we’ll all have a chance to hear them.”WI

GEMINI A caterpillar, given the right resources and a certain amount of time, becomes something unrecognizable. You’re going to learn a few things about transformations. The radical change you experience will almost surely be intellectual and/or political, but it will alter everything. The change is affecting you in funny, unpredictable ways; but good friends and old standbys dominate your weekend. Nice that while some things change others stay the same.

You’ll be overwhelmed with new information.

CANCER Money matters are muddled and it’s hard to figure out how much you have, and what you want to spend it on. If you’ve had your heart set on something that you might not be able to afford after all, then it’s time to teach your heart some flexibility. Money is not much of an issue because it doesn’t cost anything to daydream (which is what you’ll do just about all day long for two days straight). The most pressing challenge involves an authority figure.

LEO You have enough self-respect to stand up for yourself in a social situation, and even though some may interpret this as arrogance, the wisest among your friends know better.

That said, you’re always better off getting other people to talk rather than listening to your own voice. Patience is a beautiful quality. Decision-making is not a snap, and decision-making around money is a bad idea period. Your frame of mind is more suited to creative endeavors. Be spongelike, ready to receive ideas from everywhere, including from people who rarely speak up.

VIRGO Be careful of impulse buying. A discussion about values with a good friend will set you on the right track and, hopefully, dissuade you from splurging on that pair of pants in a store window that, while they seem incredible on display, will just seem like another pair of pants once you buy them. Don’t do it! Your curiosity leads to some deep intellectual digging that turns up all sorts of interesting, emotional artifacts. Interaction with family will seem tumultuous. But romance and fun is in the horizon.

LIBRA Your world is full of people with whom you feel a deep, startling connection. Plus, everything is insanely funny. Some of your friends should be considered national treasures.

Helping other people cope with their stress is a deft way of handling your own. A relatively stress free, although intense one-on-one relationship (either business or romantic) dominates. Matters that seem outside of your hands are, in fact, very much in your hands. So no excuses!

SCORPIO Your domestic life is something of a volcano and an eruption seems imminent.

But, as you are in no mood to be scalded by projectile lava, you’re willing to negotiate; compromise suddenly seems like a good option. If the problem persists, apply your imagination toward solving it. A solution you haven’t thought of, but that would make everyone happy, might be at hand. Drop everything to help someone else. If you find yourself lugging a television out of a moving truck, consider it exercise.

SAGITTARIUS You receive new ideas the way the earth receives light from the sun – fully, warmly, gratefully. New trees of thought are taking root in your brain. No wonder your hair looks funny! Seriously, kick vanity to the curb this week and focus on things that actually matter. Seemingly, the second you’ve found your keys you’ve lost your cell phone; your mind is simply elsewhere. Games, productivity and men figure strongly. The beach may or may not figure in, depending on your proximity to it. Some details need your attention.

CAPRICORN You are aiming for the right goals, but your strategy for accomplishing them needs some work. Think about making a change, but only a small change. The big picture is right on. Putting your thoughts in writing not only makes them clear to everyone else; it also makes them clearer to yourself. Your family is tugging on your sleeves for attention. To give them the time they deserve, you might have to postpone something else. Get away to the woods, the beach, or a romantic restaurant – something like that.

AQUARIUS Everything you see seems to fit your mood, as if the world is a projection of your inner beauty. Others find you attractive and exciting, and may tell you so. Lost in all this, you are hardly thinking about, say, money, which might pose a problem. If it does, you still won’t be thinking about it. You’ll be in one of your wide-eyed philosophical moods.

PISCES You have a hard time focusing with all your plans for saving the world on your mind. Why people don’t think harder and better about the things that matter baffles you.

On the other hand, you’re easily distracted yourself. Finding a balance is a struggle that won’t go away. You’ll be blessed with more energy than you know what to do with – and lots of time. Self-transformation might ensue. You will believe you’re onto something. But are you, really?

Is it just a ruse? Pursue this.

US-Ghana Game Excites Football Fans

By Barrington M. Salmon WI Staff Writer@bsalmondc The third time proved to be the charm for the United States Men’s National Soccer Team after they beat nemesis Ghana 2-1 in a thrilling match decided in the last four minutes of the game.

Ghana had beaten the Americans twice in their last two World Cup encounters and the vast majority of the standing-room-only crowd at Bukom Restaurant in Adams Morgan expected a similar result on the evening of June 16.

Marcus Robinson, a 42-yearold D.C. entrepreneur clad in a red, white and blue T-shirt, delighted in being one of the few contrarians in the crowd and exuded ecstasy following the American victory. Throughout the game, he chanted for his team, exchanged friendly banter with opponents, wagged his fin-

ger or gestured at the television whenever a Ghana shot went awry and high-fived a compatriot bedecked in a large American flag.

“Ghana could and should have won the game,” he said as the handful of American supporters and scores of disappointed Ghanaians trooped out of the Northwest restaurant into the cool Washington evening.

The early goal made the Ghanaian team anxious and they tried to score too much. There were too many balls over the top.”

“Today, the white stars beat the Black Stars but America needs to move on (to the next round).”

The game, held at the Estadio das Dunas in Natal, Brazil, saw the U.S.’s Clint Dempsey score the first goal in the opening 29 seconds of the game. The game made Dempsey the fifth fastest scorer in World Cup history and the first American to score a goal

in three World Cups. The U.S. playing in Group G – also known as “the Group of Death,” – still have to tangle with traditional powerhouses Germany and Portugal.

The stunning first-minute goal left the Ghanaian crowd stunned but as the game progressed, their enthusiasm jump-started again and cheers bounced around the establishment as the Black Stars dominated the run of play. The result would have been quite different if Ghana had just been able to convert on any of the 21 shots players took over the 90plus minutes of the game.

Ghana players like Sulley Muntari, Asamoah Gyan, Michael Essien and Kevin PrinceBoateng threatened early and often but the U.S.’s stout defense kept then at bay. As U.S. goalie Tim Howard saved, parried and deflected shots, the crowd grumbled, sighed and groaned, ruing all the missed opportunities.

Naomi Williams stood in a space between the front door and the bar watching the game intently. The Canadian native said she had planned to travel back to New York earlier in the day but put everything on hold

to stay and watch the match.

“Oh course Ghana,” she said when asked who she supported. “Even though I’m not Ghanaian, it’s my favorite team.

I’m a big soccer fan but there are probably bigger soccer fans here. They made it so far in the last tournament and they need to go further this year.”

Williams, a Northwest resident who travels between New York and the District for her job, broke into smiles often as the game progressed.

“It’s awesome to be here,” she said. “This is probably the best place to watch the game.”

More than 250 revelers watched the game on several big screen TVs stationed around the bar, in the back of the establishment, in an upstairs section and in an alcove where diners sat and watched the game. Those up front stood five deep at the bar, eyes focused on one screen or the other. People chatted and socialized even as sweet Ghanaian music occasionally blared through massive loud speakers.

Yao Odamttem, a 36-year-old brand developer and IT engineer, stood aghast when the U.S. scored. Throughout the match,

his face reflected the highs and lows of the game and like his Ghanaian comrades, anxiety replaced exuberance as the minutes ticked off the clock.

“One of these years we’ll make it to the top,” the Northwest D.C. resident said. “To be honest, it was a shock. We played with purpose, sound execution and diplomacy. Ghana needs to toughen up. You see other teams get up and fight but not Ghana.”

Ghanaian supporters like Anika Trahan enjoyed watching her team dominate the Americans and she fully expected a winning result after seeing Ghana pin the U.S. deep in their own half for long periods of time.

“I am and will always root for African teams,” the obviously disheartened Trahan said after the game. “I’m disappointed. I wanted Ghana to win. I was befuddled when the goal scored.

I was getting drunk – I was so shocked. I had hoped that that’s the only goal they scored.”WI To read this story in its entirety, go to washingtoninformer.com

14 Day Tour of Australia - Rock and Reef

March 11, 2015 – March 24, 2015

Washington quarterback Robert Griffin III held his inaugural “Friday Night Lights” football camp at Anacostia High School in Southeast on Friday, June 13. More than 270 children ages 6-18 joined Griffin III and a host of other local athletes and entertainers who assisted the quarterback throughout the evening camp. /Photo by Khalid Naji-Allah

Griffin III Brings Football Camp to Southeast Washington’s Quarterback Draws Crowd

By Elton Hayes WI Contributing Writer Passersby who happened to stroll past Anacostia High School last Friday evening couldn’t help but notice that the scene in the school’s main parking looked different.

Metropolitan Police Department officers in patrol cars and on motorcycles guarded the parking lot’s entrance like Fort Knox, as hundreds of people of all ages formed a line that started in front of the school’s gymnasium on 16th Street in Southeast, and snaked deep into the lot.

Robert Griffin III, one of the National Football League’s most popular players, waited inside one of the school’s athletic building to kick off his “Friday Night Lights” football camp.

“People told me when I first came [to the District] that nobody really does this type of stuff around here,” the Washington Redskins quarterback said. “D.C. has accepted me for who I am, so I have accepted everyone in D.C. for who they are.

We could have easily held this camp somewhere else, but I felt that this was the most significant place for us to have it. We need these kids to realize that they’re not forgotten.”

Griffin III, 24, enlisted the help of his teammates and en-

tertainers to bring his inaugural “Friday Night Lights” camp to the high school on June 13. DeSean Jackson and Kirk Cousins counted among a number of Redskins players and new Washington head coach Jay Gruden also showed up to support Griffin III. Hip-hop artists Wale Folarin, Shad Moss aka Bow Wow and Stanley Burrell aka MC Hammer attended the camp, as well.

The overcast skies and scattered showers that doused the region for most of the day cleared for a few hours Friday evening, and more than 270 children ages 6-18 converged on Anacostia High School’s turf football field and donned new burgundy-and-white T-shirts emblazoned with the camp’s theme, “Catch Your Dreams,” compliments of Adidas.

Walter and Belinda Moyer stood in front of a short, chainlink fence that separated the front row seats of the bleachers from the field. The couple watched their son, seven-yearold Donovan, bounce around the turf with a football that appeared supersized in his tiny hands.

“We held back [the news] until it was time to come over here,” Walter Moyer, a 38-year-old Silver Spring, Maryland resident said. “We told him that we had

www.washingtoninformer.com

a surprise for him today, and then a couple of hours before the camp, we told him what that surprise was.”

The news stunned the aspiring running back. “[Donovan] became kind of bashful because it was a bit overwhelming for him. Robert Griffin III is his hero and his favorite player. This is a special day for him. He’s really excited,” his father said.

Decked out in new Adidas football cleats, shirts and gloves, campers practiced with professional coaches under the lights, and received training in all areas of the game from how to properly tuck and clutch a football when receiving a handoff, to defensive back agility drills aimed to improve footwork.

Griffin III offered hands-on instruction while he laughed and joked with campers, briefly stopping to toss the football to Washington Wizards starting point guard John Wall and Folarin.

While conversation about football dominated the evening, Griffin III, who graduated from Texas’ Baylor University in three years with a degree in political science and a 3.67 grade point average, also stressed to campers that they must have the same

passion in the classroom that they do on the field.

“I wanted them know that it takes hard work for them to get to where they’re trying to go, and that’s not just exclusive to the football field, but also in the classroom with academics,” Griffin III said. “I just want to show them that they have to work hard to get to where they’re trying to go.”

Last week’s “Friday Night Lights” camp may have been the first, but Anacostia High School principal Dr. Ian Roberts hopes it won’t be the school’s last as host.

“This event definitely serves as an inspiration and it speaks volumes about what the Washington Redskins mean to the community. They’re not just about winning football games, The Washington Informer

but they’re showing the community east of the [Anacostia] River, particularly Robert Griffin III, that they are invested in what is happening over here,” Roberts said. “The fact that [Griffin III] decided to bring his camp to the Academies at Anacostia to support youth in Southeast, D.C, speaks volumes to who he is as a person. I think this one experience will definitely inspire a tremendous [number] of students.”

Whether or not Griffin III’s camp will return to Anacostia High School next year remains to be seen, but campers’ delight as the evening drew to a close showed on their faces.

“I liked the running back drill,” said an overly excited Donovan, who will enter second grade this year and plays in a local youth football league. “It was awesome. I talked to Robert Griffin III and asked him to

autograph my jersey and he did.

He’s my favorite player.”

Griffin III wants residents east of the Anacostia River to know that in him, they have a champion both on and off the field. To him, his presence in the D.C. area means more than just winning football games for the hometown team.

“We want to give to this community. We want these kids to know that they are not forgotten. That’s why we’re here, that’s why we’re giving them so much stuff. We really want to be a blessing to them because they deserve it. They need this kind of influence to help them realize that their dreams and goals are attainable. They are not forgotten,” he said, as he flashed his trademark smile. WI

Redskins Seminar Aids Local Students Team Sponsors Educational Event at D.C. School

By Stacy M. Brown WI Contributing Writer Subscribing to the theory that concentration means the ability to think of nothing at all, Kevin Proctor stared intently at personnel from the Washington Redskins, the NCAA, and recruiters as they spoke about the slim prospects of making it into professional football.

For Kevin, a 17-year-old running back at Northwest High School in Germantown, Maryland, the message couldn’t have been clearer. “I’m focused and I’m just here with the hopes of becoming a better football player and going to Bowie State or another school and then, hopefully, to the NFL,” Kevin said.

The teen’s father proved just as confident as his young son.

“We are here for Kevin to show his ability. He’s a very focused young man with natural ability, a go-getter and this is in his blood,” said the elder Kevin Proctor Jr., noting the family’s relationship with former University of Maryland and Detroit Lions standout Kevin Glover.

The father and son duo sat among the 280 students and others inside the gymnasium of

Coolidge Senior High School in Northwest on Saturday, June 14, for the Redskins’ sponsored, “Driven By Our Ambitions Educational Seminar & Football Camp.”

With an array of educational and financial instruction already covered during the daylong event, students and many of their parents appeared most excited about hitting the gridiron where Redskins’ personnel eagerly awaited a chance to show the young hopefuls how it’s done on the field in professional football.

Drills such as the 40-yard dash, where speed and explosive first steps are watched closely by recruiters and scouts and clocked by timekeepers, served to pump up the athletes, their parents and friends who came to support the high school students.

“I’m hoping this gives my son more exposure. I want him to understand that we’re using sports as a tool to move forward academically and otherwise, but this is a great program,” said Thomas Riddick, Sr., whose son, Thomas Jr., attends Friendship Collegiate Academy Public Charter School in Northeast.

Jeffrey Keane, a sophomore at Damascus High School in Mont-

gomery County, Maryland, said he wanted to test his skills in a vertical jumping drill so that he could show off his ability to intercept passes thrown by some of the NFL’s best, including Redskins’ star, Robert Griffin III. “I’m a free safety and I want to be in the NFL one day and prove that I belong there and do well,” said Jeffrey, 16.

Sponsored by the Redskins Foundation, team employees Daniel Sampson and Mike Adams conceived of the event as a tool to help instruct prospective college student-athletes about the importance of financial stability, eligibility rules, and the college recruiting process. They also stressed the significance of knowing the fundamentals of one of America’s favorite pastimes. “[Adams and I] decided that the best approach to showcase to student-athletes how important education is to the overall process of having the opportunity to continue playing on the field beyond high school was to have an educational seminar and football camp,” said Sampson, the team’s assistant director of communications.

SPORTS SEMINAR continued from Page 37 Redskins’ assistant video coordinator, invited former New Orleans Saints and Baltimore Colts star Howard Stevens to the camp to help inspire and instruct the young athletes on what it takes to sack a quarterback, kick a game-winning field goal, and break a tackle and dash 80 yards up the sidelines for a critical touchdown.

“I absolutely love working with the kids,” said Stevens, who now serves as a recruiting representative for NCSA Athletics in Chicago.

“We want to help athletes and we want to make sure that the recruiting process is going appropriately.

It’s important for me to convey to them that they should be focused on doing things to make them better, to prepare for the right college and understand that there will be distractions that could hinder their success.”

Stevens also noted the importance of staying upbeat even if a student isn’t recruited by a college.

He said he wasn’t recruited, mostly because of his small stature, but that didn’t stop him.

“I never got involved in drugs or

anything like that and, even though I wasn’t recruited and no college thought I was good enough for them,” he said. “I still made it to the NFL and I was good enough to play for five years.”

Deena Gardner, the director of player engagement education at the NFL said it’s important that students understand there will be many who will try to take advantage of them. Gardner said student-athletes are particularly vul-

nerable to shady characters.

“When somebody who you don’t know is trying to give you a car or a gym membership or training for free, that’s going to put you in a situation where you’re no longer an amateur,” she told the group during a seminar on the ethics of college and professional recruiting.

“It’s not all about football,” Gardner said. “It’s about being successful.” WI

We are a collection of smalls. Wells Fargo celebrates the non-profits and communities they support in their new advertising campaign “Small is Huge.” The campaign celebrates a number of individual actions that have a profound impact on the people involved.

Whether it’s a conversation to save a home, a job for a home-bound veteran, or a grant to fund kitchen tools, Wells Fargo provides the building blocks to make things better.

While there is no one-size-fits-all solution to our communities’ challenges, Wells Fargo’s small, focused efforts can have huge meaning for the individuals they serve. And little by little, they add up to some pretty huge numbers. Last year, Wells Fargo worked with over 18,500 non-profits and schools from the San Francisco Bay Area to Tampa Bay, donations that totaled more than $275 million. But offering a helping hand can also mean lending your own hand to a cause. So Wells Fargo Team Members volunteered 1.69 million hours in their local communities in 2013.

The “Small is Huge” campaign demonstrates that there’s nothing so huge we can’t overcome one small measure at a time. Little by little, we can do a lot. Individual, by community, by neighborhood the effect can be huge.

Think on These Things

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just… things are of good report;… and if there be any praise, think on these things. Philippians 4:8 Sunday, June 8th marked the second anniversary of my new radio talk show, “Think on These Things.”

Heard throughout the Washington metropolitan area on the first and oldest gospel radio station in the country, WYCB AM, 1340, A Radio One Station, it’s another milestone.

I’m very thankful!

Health has been the No. 1 priority for most of the two years; where we featured experts like Dr. Judith Fradkin, director of Diabetes and Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases at the National Institutes of Health; we enjoyed actress Della Reese, a type 2 diabetes survivor and speakers from the American Diabetes Association; health and nutritionist Dr. Lareece Gee Long and we heard from the last doctor who cared for my mother, Dr. Richard Merrill who shared how to live with type 2 diabetes.

We talked with my first radio show sponsor, Attorney Jack H. Olender, founder of Jack H. Olender & Associates, P.C., now one of America’s most successful malpractice law firms; featured on “60 Minutes” and other major news shows.

For Black History Month, we heard from three D.C. mayors; Mayor for Life, Marion Barry; Mayor Vincent Gray and Sharon Pratt, the first female mayor of the District; closing out the month with Dr. Barbara Williams- Skinner, a HistoryMaker and the first executive director of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation.

On the anniversary of the death

of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. our guest included the Hon. Congressman John Conyers, who told the audience how he sponsored the legislation to create the King Holiday four days after King’s assassination.

Thank you, Congressman Conyers.

Karen Dale, executive director of AmeriHealth was my special guest for the Mother’s Day segment. She gave listeners 10 points to remember about taking care of themselves.

The information proved impactful.

We are very grateful to AmeriHealth, the sponsor of our health segment.

Congresswoman Donna Edwards also one of my guests on the show; she talked about domestic violence and shared with us how she had a history of working with the domestic violence community more than a decade before becoming a member of the U.S. House of Representatives. Today, she continues to support programs that benefit women.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson another of my esteemed guests provided an update on the state of his son’s health, former Congressman Jesse L. Jackson, Jr. We heard the story of the Washington Informer Newspaper founded by Dr. Calvin W. Rolark from publisher Denise Rolark Barnes.

Julianne Malveaux shared how she had just returned from a speaking engagement at the unveiling of a statute of Fannie Lou Hamer, who was “sick and tired of being sick and tired.” The unveiling took place on October 5, 2012 in Ruleville, Mississippi.

Willie Jolley, world renowned inspirational and motivational speaker shared with listeners how they must make every minute count. He quoted Benjamin Mays “I have only

CURRY continued from Page 26 Women, who make up 51.2 percent of the population, were cast as leads in only 25.6 percent of the movies.

Over half of the films (51.2 percent) featured casts in which minorities were 10 percent or less. People of color directed 12.2 percent of the films studied, most directed at a targeted audience. Women directed 4.1 percent of the films. Minorities wrote 7.6 percent of the films, mostly ethnic-niche films; women wrote 14.1 percent.

In television: People of color were in only 5.1 percent of the lead roles. Women accounted for 51.5 percent of the lead roles in comedies and dramas, matching their share of the population. People of color accounted for 15.4 percent of the broadcast reality shows. Of show creators, only one was a person of color – who created “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Private Practice” and

MALVEAUX continued from Page 26 verbal rampage. Indeed the 2014 outrage against Sterling had elements of class bias. The multi-million dollar players weren’t angry when he discriminated against African Americans and Latinos in the slum housing he owned – which cost him a couple of million dollars to settle with the Justice Department – but they were dismayed when he made negative comments about them. Their earlier silence equaled acquiescence to Sterling’s racism; their protest suggested that they would get angry only when rancid racism was directed at them.

If the Koch brothers are the devil, then most of our organizations are making deals with the devil. Look at the list of sponsors for any African

JACKSON continued from Page 26 on test scores threatens to widen after having narrowed steadily over the previous nine years [the Bush years].”

Obama has done everything in his power to sabotage Blacks having access to better educational opportunities. Just last year Obama’s Justice Department filed a lawsuit to block Louisiana’s tuition voucher program, which has produced significant improvement for Blacks and Hispanics. The Washington Post’s editorial board blasted Obama stating that he wanted, “to trap poor black children in ineffective schools.”

Mixed messages coming from our congressional leadership is fueling the anger that was on display in the Cantor race: We Republicans claim to support the middle class, fight for Americans, support our troops, and

“Scandal,” all on ABC. The report proves that diversity pays.

The report added, “If we consider return on investment, which factors a film’s budget into the analysis, we see a similar pattern.” In fact, the return on more diverse films was “significantly greater,” the report found.

Yet, Hollywood continues to travel down the same old tired road.

“The 2014 Hollywood Diversity Report has documented an apparent disconnect between the industry’s professed focus on the bottom line and actual staffing practices in film, broadcast television, and cable,” the report stated. “That is, while films and television shows with casts that reflect the nation’s racial and ethnic diversity were more likely to post high box office figures or ratings during the study period, minorities and women were nonetheless woefully underrepresented among the

corps of directors, show creators, writers, and lead actors that animates industry productions.”

The report concluded, “This disconnect does not bode well for the future of the Hollywood industry.

Women already constitute slightly more than half of the U.S. population, and more than a third of the population is currently minority and the population continues to diversify at a dizzying rate.

“The bottom line for the Hollywood industry – theatrical film, broadcast television, and cable – would be advanced by implementing forward-looking project development and staffing practices that are in sync with these changes.”WI

American organization or event. Sit through a board meeting, and listen to folks review possible sponsors, many corporate. There are “good” corporations whose diversity portfolio is robust, and then there are those who need a little help. The need for funds notwithstanding, are we for sale for the price of a table or a few salmon (used to be chicken) dinners?

On the other hand, when the New York Times criticized the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation for its corporate support, Elsie Scott, the then-director said that if we spent money on certain products it was only right that we get their support. Does this apply to the Koch donation?

Unfortunately, too many African American organizations buy what we want and beg for what we

need. Many in the African American community have $25 million to give to the United Negro College Fund.

Many could spend the dollars to support our students. The fact that we do not leaves us vulnerable to contributions like Koch, contributions that come with strings and, perhaps, a conservative agenda.

Should UNCF President Michael Lomax send the money back? Only if someone steps up to replace it.

The $18.5 million for scholarships represents 3,700 scholarships for students. If the $4 million is divided equally among 37 schools, it means $108,000 per school, enough to hire back one of the people laid off and to support some programs. Should Michael Lomax lay down with the devil? Where is the angel?WI

represent “real America.”

Last time I checked, America is a very diverse nation, but it is not reflected within our congressional leadership, their staffs, or their advisers.

Cantor surrounded himself with his usual White consultants who had no one around them with a different perspective on any of the issues.

This campaign was exhibit A in why diversity is necessary within our party.

But, can someone explain to me how a national party leader in the 21st century doesn’t notice that he has no Blacks on his personal or leadership staff? He’ll have plenty of time to think about it in coming years.

Meanwhile, other Republicans need to take heed.

Most Republicans are not aware that Mitt Romney received 20 percent of the Black vote from males between ages 20-30 (though he received only 6 percent nationally). So

this notion about Obama having a stranglehold on the Black vote is pure fiction.

Neither the Republican Party nor the Tea Party are racist. They both have been horrible in the area of communications. They both have allowed the media and liberal to brand them as racists and have done nothing to counter the charges. So, a lie oft repeated becomes the truth.

If Cantor’s loss causes our congressional leadership to realize that they need to actively engage the Black community on substantive issues, then it will be a worthwhile loss.

If they continue what they have been doing; then they will become as the sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.WI

York peers.

But the point still comes across very clearly. Since Sojourner Truth’s day, Black and White and Brown and other excluded and marginalized women—and men—have been trying to ferret out the unjust and greedy weasels still eating away at the core of the Constitution and the promise of equal opportunity in our national life, gain the rights and freedoms they know they have been promised, and build a just America for themselves and their children. The struggle for a fair playing field for all Americans and their children must accelerate and

Melvin Oliver and Thomas Shapiro have laid out how various policies interacted with race to create the huge wealth divide between African-Americans and Whites.

But in the era since the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, Medicare in 1966 (ending segregation in health care) and the Fair Housing Act of 1968, Americans have been forced to reconcile racial inequality with the American ideal of social mobility. Don’t we now have equal opportunity? Isn’t that enough to assure equal outcomes? One resolution is as ancient as the

was the new order of the day.

In the middle of the 20th century the Civil Rights Movement was born, and Blacks again aggressively asserted their demands for freedom, justice and equality inside the American society. Then somewhere near the dawn of the 21st century the Reparations movement was reborn, and that’s where we are today. Juneteenth then, Reparations now.

No people who’ve ever lived deserve reparation payments – making amends; atonement; indemnity – from their former tormentors more than do Blacks in the United States of America, and that is an indisputable fact. Now there are many people who would and do dispute the claim

by Black people for reparations. Some of them think Black people should be grateful for having been brought to America from Africa and that maybe The Washington Informer

reach a mighty roar today when these core values are so much under attack.

America is still struggling to live up to its creed enunciated in the Declaration of Independence and overcome its huge birth defects built into the implementation of our political and economic system: Native American genocide, slavery, exclusion of all women and non-propertied men, including White men, from America’s political process. We have come a long way but these deep-seated cultural, racial, economic, and gender impediments to a just union challenge us still. We must remain vigilant in rooting them out and moving ahead as many attempt to move us backwards.

As another July 4th approaches,

can we finally tell every child born in 2014 that he or she was created with an equal chance to realize America’s dream—or for tens of millions of children who are poor, illiterate, violence-ridden, hungry, and homeless will America’s promise still feel hollow at the core? Children have only one childhood, and that childhood determines much of what they grow up to accomplish. This means we adults have only a very short window in which to make sure that all children, regardless of the lottery of birth, are nurtured and fed, physically and spiritually, and are educated and supported to grow up to be the best they can beWI

forces that held slavery together – racism, an abiding belief that African-Americans are inferior in character and culture.

The other is to understand the many layers of inequality and their interaction with the lack of wealth, income and employment with ongoing policies. A third is to understand that racism is still an ugly factor in American life.

I think those who disagree with Freeman think his dismissal of race was an assumption that equal opportunity exists.

If African Americans are not held back in moving up the class ladder, then how can anyone in America claim to be held back?

If the economic game in America is fair and not rigged against African American success, which Americans can call foul?

Just as the victories of Owens and Louis did not mean the end of segregation or discrimination, neither does the victory of President Barack Obama

mean the end of Donald Sterling’s sprawling Los Angeles real estate empire that discriminated against black and Latino tenants. The 1 percent benefit from a different set of rules, from lower marginal tax rates to bigger tax deductions for their homes, savings and health.

Blaming African-Americans for not seizing the day and rising to the top is an indictment of the 99 percent. Racism is not an “excuse,” but a way to understand the rules are not fair, this is not a lack of will, but acknowledgement rules are rigged for multinational corporations to give away our jobs and Wall Street to steal our homes. It is an understanding that inequality is not a natural state, but is manufactured. WI

Black folks should be taxed again for citizenship, beyond having built this country and creating its wealth with 310 years of free labor.

First proposed to Congress in 1867

by Rep. Thaddeus Stevens (R-Pa.), then again in 1896, 1898, 1899, and 1903 before the call fell silent, the reparations demand has moved from the rhetoric of largely Black Nationalist organizations which sounded the call throughout the last half of the 20th century, to new prominence today.

Actually Congress once approved taking land from the treasonous, slave-owners and re-distributing it to the freed Africans in the form of “40 acres and a mule.” But that legislation was vetoed by President Andrew Johnson and never came to be.

Now, just as it should be, the call for reparations is one of the two primary legislative goals of the NAACP, as well as an important goal articulated by the National Bar Association, TransAfrica, the National Congress of Eco-

nomic Development Commissioners, as well as Delta Sigma Theta and Sigma Gamma Rho sororities.

Black organizations such as the National Coalition of Blacks for Reparations in America (N’COBRA) have long maintained that “slavery was a grave injustice that caused and continues to cause African Americans to suffer enormous damages and losses, both material and intangible, including the loss of human dignity and liberty ... denying (them) the fruits of their own labor, and was an immoral and inhumane deprivation of life, liberty, citizenship rights, and cultural heritage.”

It was the enslaved Africans desiring their freedom who struck the decisive blow, and nothing today symbolizes freedom more emphatically than Juneteenth.

Happy Juneteenth. That’s the American holiday declared by the enslaved Africans themselves.WI
