100 Black Men to Provide Corporate Internships
By Kenya KIng Daily World Staff For many young minorities, landing a job in corporate America is dreamed of achievement beyond their reach. A new partnership with the 100 Black Men of America and INROADS, one of the largest providers of corporate internships, can help make the dream a reality for hundreds of African American young adults. The initiative, implemented through the 100 Black Men of America’s Collegiate 100 Chapters, will provide students from more than 50 Collegiate 100 chaptersthroughout the U.S. with paid internshipand career development opportunities through INROADS. President and CEO of INROADS, Forest Harper, said that the initiative targets youth who are “underserved” or at a disadvantage not only in climbing the corporate ladder but in simply entering thecorporate workforce. “Underserved to us means any student that is without the mentorship or opportunities that would allow them to get into corporate America.” said Harper.

Teenie Harris Photo Exhibit Opens at Woodruff Library Special to the Daily World Teenie Harris, Photographer: An American Story exhibit, a groundbreaking retrospective of works by African-American photographer Charles “Teenie” Harris (1908-1998), has opened at the Atlanta University Center (AUC) Robert W. Woodruff Library. On loan from Pittsburgh’s Carnegie Museum of Art, the exhibit is making its premiere in the South and is sponsored by PNC Bank. On display through May 24, Teenie Harris, Photographer: An American Story features selections of Harris’s most striking and historically significant images. The photographs—made in his studio and for the Pittsburgh Courier—chronicle the Pittsburgh community throughout the Jim Crow and civil rights eras. Harris captured the poetry of everyday life of African Americans during the period and extraordinary people who shaped the 20th century, such as baseball star Jackie Robinson and leaders Martin Luther King Jr. and John F. Kennedy. In conjunction with the exhibits, the AUC Woodruff Library is Page 3

Obama Pushes for Immigration Overhaul
Associated Press
President Barack Obama is trying to rally support this week for an immigration overhaul that would give millions of illegal immigrants a pathway to U.S. citizenship while tightening border security, building on a similar proposal by a bipartisan group of influential senators and pointing the way to the first significant change to the famously snarled system in about two decades. The immigration overhaul comes in the wake of the November presidential election, where Obama won more than 70 percent of the Hispanic vote in a defeat of Republican rival Mitt Romney, who famously urged illegal immigrants to ``self-deport.'' Republican lawmakers who had previously opposed immigration reform were forced to reconsider it and rebuild the party's reputation among Hispanics, an increasingly powerful political force. With the turnaround, immigration has surprisingly emerged as the rare issue with at least some kind of bipartisan support in a deeply divided Congress, where gun control and tackling the massive deficit face far bigger fights ahead. Still, passage of emotionally charged immigration legislation by the Democratic-controlled Senate is far from assured, and the House of Representatives is dominated by conservative Republicans who oppose anything that might resemble an amnesty for illegal immigrants. But Sen. John McCain, the former Republican presidential candidate who lost to Obama in 2008, Page 3
