Mother had both per 100,000) legs amputated, she had kidney failure and dialysis, she had at least ten strokes or more, plus she suffered with high blood pressure for years.

As her oldest daughter, I promised to educate millions of people regarding the causes and preventions of type 2 diabetes. In sharing with the general public, my mother's death shall not be in vain. Let’s now talk about causes of all three of the conditions that African Americans find themselves suffering with.

This problem of type 2 diabetes dates back when Blacks were enslaved. Dr. Sherita Hill Golden head of the Diabetes Center at Baltimore’s John Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, noted that when Blacks were enslaved “the masters were the only ones to suffer from diabetes” because of poor diet and no exercise. You will read these words in every column, and that is: My people perish for the lack of knowledge. The big news is we can all shake off the shackles of these three killers of diabetes, high blood pressure and quit being overweight, by simply changing our diet by eating less carbohydrates, eat more green leafy vegetables, cut out sweets, and control portion sizes of starchy, carbohydrate-containing foods t portion sizes; secondly, take thirty minute walks at least five times each week; and third, eliminate stress from our lives.

Look for more details about these preventions next week. WI

Biden can accomplish some things through executive order, just as both 45 and President Obama did. But if the initiatives need government spending, they would need to go through Congress. I think Biden understands that he owes his electoral victory to Black folks, especially Black women. He may develop programs that will advance racial equity, but there are both legislative and attitudinal obstacles.

In the wake of President Obama's tenure in the White House, our nation became extremely anti-Black. Obama's successor did everything he could to fan the flames of anti-Blackness, and those attitudes don't disappear quickly. Will Biden jeopardize his reelection if he pursues his agenda of racial equity?

The Biden-Harris team must explain that whites benefit from racial equity, and racial equity makes good economic sense. Lower rates of Black unemployment could be economically beneficial and can even improve our overall GDP. More support for minority businesses is also expansionary. When Black folks win, everyone wins,

MORIAL from Page 26

It must also include a commitment to invest in affordable housing, given the looming housing crisis that could derail a fragile economic recovery.

The last four years have seen a dramatic rollback of civil rights protections, a surge in racially motivated hate crimes, a deterioration of trust between police and the communities they serve, and the stark exposure of entrenched health and economic disparities.

We have offered the Biden administration a set of fundamental principles on racial justice and equity to guide the first 100 days and beyond. These are: • Fundamentally transform the criminal justice system. • Protect and defend voting rights. • Achieve economic parity for African Americans. • Advance equity in educational opportunities. • Promote a healthier nation by prioritizing testing, treatments and cures for COVID-19 in communities of color.

The 100-day plan must include a new Voting Rights Advancement Act, comprehensive criminal justice reform, and a vaccine distribution plan that emphasizes outreach to the hardest-hit communities. but 56 percent of California voters have shown they don't think so.

The tension is between two concepts: race-neutral public policy and race-conscious public policy. Biden’s plan is explicitly race-conscious. Those who opposed Proposition 16 prefer race-neutrality. Is it possible, though, to be race-neutral in the face of unconscious bias and anti-Black attitudes? So-called race-neutral policy often has a differential impact by race. As an example, when minimum wage legislation was first passed in 1938, it excluded farmworkers, many of whom were Black men, and private household workers, or domestics, who were mostly Black women. Targeting those two occupations was unquestionably racist.

All legislation should be accompanied by racial impact statement, indicating who wins and who loses when legislation is passed. Our government should be able to understand and explicitly legislate around the needs of different communities; there is no other way to ensure the rights and prosperity of Black folk, and indeed all Americans. If we cannot. Proposition 16 shows that there is still strong resistance to this idea, just another example of racial animus in the heart of a supposedly progressive paradise.

The current plan for vaccine distribution relies almost entirely on chain pharmacies, a plan which failed dismally when it came to the distribution of testing supplies in the spring.

A national plan to bring the virus under control must not only direct supplies to the poor and urban communities that have been hardest hit, but also address the long-standing health and economic disparities that allowed infections and death to skyrocket among Black Americans. A fair and effective vaccine plan must maximize the use of community-based sites such as schools, community centers, churches, and local Urban League affiliate headquarters.

Finally, the administration will need a cabinet, senior advisors, and a federal workforce that reflects American diversity, excellence, and competence. The current cabinet is the least diverse in 50 years, and there is no doubt that limitation has contributed to its failures on many levels.

Both President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris have a long history of collaboration with the National Urban League, and we stand ready to partner with the new administration in the fight for racial justice, voting rights, fair housing, health care, education and employment which have always guided our work.

Signature....................................................................................... proud I went to Spelman College. As an all-Black women's college it gave me the latitude, confidence, historical knowledge, and safe space — one not defined by male or White folks' expectations, habits of competition, or the need to preen and prove myself to anyone beyond myself, my family, and God. I learned to dream my own dreams and search for and forge my own path. While I hated forced segregation or forced anything, Spelman College provided me the incubation I needed to stand on my feet confidently with anyone anywhere. Our cloistered shared community, great role models and speakers like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and rituals strengthened us inside and prepared Spelman women to do battle outside its gates. HBCUs have produced so many great artists, thinkers, and scholars including King, Langston Hughes, Thurgood Marshall, Toni Morrison and Spelman sister Stacey Abrams, whose relentless, strategic leadership fighting voter suppression and increasing voter registration and turnout in Georgia is making history today.

How fitting it is that Vice President-elect Kamala Harris was formally nominated as the Democratic candidate for vice president during the week our nation celebrated the centennial of the 19th Amendment, which prohibits states and the federal government from denying citizens the right to vote based on sex. Her candidacy was possible because of our brave women forebearers who fought relentlessly to assure that amendment's passage. Like President Obama, she stands on the shoulders of all those who fought and died to ensure the same voting rights for Black women and men and everyone.

Kamala Harris draws on these rich inheritances as she sets a new example of leadership today. In her Nov. 7 victory speech, she said she was thinking "about the generations of women — Black women, Asian, White, Latina and Native American women who throughout our nation's history have paved the way for this moment tonight. Women who fought and sacrificed so much for equality, liberty, and justice for all, including the Black women who are too often overlooked, but so often prove that they are the backbone of our democracy. All the women who have worked to secure and protect the right to vote for over a century: 100 years ago with the 19th Amendment, 55 years ago with the Voting Rights Act, and now, in 2020, with a new generation of women in our country who cast their ballots and continued the fight for their fundamental right to vote and be heard. Tonight, I reflect on their struggle, their determination, and the strength of their vision — to see what can be, unburdened by what has been. And I stand on their shoulders."

Vice President-elect Harris added: "But while I may be the first woman in this office, I will not be the last. Because every little girl watching tonight sees that this is a country of possibilities. And to the children of our country, regardless of your gender, our country has sent you a clear message: Dream with ambition, lead with conviction, and see yourselves in a way that others may not, simply because they've never seen it before. But know that we will applaud you every step of the way." And I and millions of women and girls applaud you every step of your way as you join President-elect Biden in leading our nation to new heights.

team hasn't been issued.

With the post-election behavior of #45 and his Republican supporters, there's nothing that gives reason to believe that they have taken a more reasoned or conciliatory approach to governance. The remedy available to us requires that we reject conditioning that allows us to believe that we only have a right to challenge issues unique to our specific jurisdictions. Contemporary logic dictates that we understand our broader requirement for engagement.

If we endorse the Biden-Harris agenda, we must work to eliminate impediments established by their opposition. Mitch McConnell and the majority-Republican Senate pose the greatest threat to a successful Biden-Harris administration. Just as they frustrated the efforts of the Obama/Biden administration and tried to make it a one-term administration, it's likely that they'll do the same for Biden-Harris.

The most logical way for us then is to eliminate the Republican majority in the Senate. We can do that by supporting the Rev. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff in their Georgia Senate run-off elections. If we are not Georgia residents, we can donate to their campaigns and call every eligible voter we know in Georgia to encourage them to vote. Additionally, the voter registration deadline for the January run-off elections is Dec. 7. Once more, we must vote as though our lives depend on it — they do!

in cars, just beyond the last station at 1600 on the AM band, police calls were broadcast, so anyone could listen.

We would escort our companions for the evening home after whatever event we attended, and then Banner would tune the radio to listen to the police chatter. We wore suits and ties when we went-a-courting, so we looked like plainclothes cops.

Banner had a long, five-cell flashlight in the car, and we would roll up on accidents or crime scenes, then alight from his mom's cop-looking car, dressed like the lead characters from the "Dragnet" TV series, five-cell in hand, and walk around as though we were "investigating." It was great fun, high adventure. I confess, it was also very, very, very nerdy, but hey, we were 19-year-olds and "boys will be boys."

We parted company when I moved on to San Jose State to study journalism. But more than a decade later we would meet again, this time at the White House, where he was a Secret Service agent. He'd been assigned to Chip Carter, the son of President Jimmy Carter, and one day, I — now a White House credentialed reporter for the Chicago Daily Defender — was able to meet him again and recall our past pretend-cop escapades.

Later, my friend got a taste of the contagion that seems to stalk all law enforcement agencies all over the country. It took him maybe 30 years to be bitten by it, but I had been keenly aware of it since we parted company in L.A. — racism.

Banner was one of 10 Black agents who filed a class-action civil lawsuit in 2000, which said the agency had demonstrated a pattern of failing to follow up on allegations of racial discrimination over the previous 20 years.

During the trial, attorneys played an audio tape of threats phoned in to a dedicated line at Banner's home in Philadelphia in 1990. Only other agents knew the number, he says. "You little n-----," the tape said. "You better leave Philly or you'll never leave alive." Wow!

I don't know which would be worse for a Secret Service agent, being constantly subjected to racism on a job where one's life is in danger every day, or being exposed to a deadly virus by the boss for whom one is sworn to take a bullet. WI
