“Addressing Current & Historical Realties Affecting Our Community”

JUNETEENTH NOW A FEDERAL HOLIDAY By: N.L. Preston

WHAT ABOUT US?

By: Nevaeh Richardson

The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo awarded 70 Texas 4-H program members a grand total of $1.4 million in scholarships, but while that’s a great thing, you’ll notice a glaring similarity among the scholarship recipients – they are overwhelmingly WHITE! While there may be a few people of color (POC) dotted among the students who received the award, not one of them is a Black student, and as a Black student, that really ticks me off !

A Facebook post highlighting the “Where’s Waldo” missing Black students gained a lot of comments, and it first made me MAD, but then it made me THINK, and ask myself, “WHO’S RESPONSIBLE?” The scholarship recipients were chosen from 51 counties across the state of Texas, and I have a hard time believing that there was not one Black student within these 51 counties that qualified for an award.

Your immediate thought might be to place blame on the majority white Executive Committee members of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo,

and wonder if the lone African American member - Warner Ervin – is speaking up for the people we hope he represents – US! I’m here to tell you, the exclusion of Black children from agriculture programs is, not only on the hands of the 11 HLSR Executive Committee members, but it’s on our school districts, business and political leaders, and the Black community as a whole.

I proudly went from being an honor roll student at Jack Yates High School to a current freshman at Howard University, and I can honestly tell you, I have NO memories throughout my elementary, middle or high school years of being introduced to any agriculture courses, and upon research, I see they are CLEARLY available at many schools including Stephen F. Austin, Chavez, Bellaire and Madison and high schools, but not many students are participating (nor encouraged to participate) in the programs.

The House passed a resolution Tuesday making June 19 officially the “Juneteenth National Independence Day,” a federal holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the United States.

This victory is long overdue as African Americans in the South has been celebrating Juneteenth for decades. The movement gained national attention after push by Black Lives Matter protests in the wake of the police killing of George Floyd, and the “insurrection” by white supremacists at the U.S. Capitol. Texas Republican Sen. John Cornyn and Texas Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee led the effort to make Juneteenth the 12th federal holiday.

“What I see here today is racial divide crumbling, being crushed this day under a momentous vote that brings together people who understand the value of freedom,” Jackson-Lee said.

The bill passed the House 415-14 after the Senate unanimously passed the legislation Tuesday. The 14 Republicans to vote against the bill were Reps.

Thomas Massie of Kentucky, Mo Brooks of Alabama, Scott DesJarlais of Tennessee, Andy Biggs of Arizona, Tom Tiffany of Wisconsin, Doug LaMalfa of California, Tom McClintock of California, Mike Rogers of Alabama, Matt Rosendale of Montana, Ronny Jackson of Texas, Ralph Norman of South Carolina, Andrew Clyde of Georgia, Chip Roy of Texas and Paul Gosar of Arizona.

Don’t Panic.

OVERPERFORM! Merely legal rights are alienable, being granted by the state, they can be taken away by the state. Natural rights can be secured or violated by the state, but they do not come into existence through being granted by the state; nor does their existence cease when there are not acknowledged or secured by the laws of the state. -- Adler, Six Great Ideas, p.168 Republicans in Texas “dreams” were paused when Chris Hollins, Harris County Clerk and Lina Hildalgo, Harris County Judge, provided multiple voting options for citizens.

A drop box at NRG for the county and mail-in and drive-up sites led Governor Greg Abbott and his cronies to devise under the table and “sleight of hand” laws to restrict voting. Republicans were spooked from 40 states to sponsor 400 plus Jim Crow restrictive anti-democratic

laws. Their reason for the restrictive bills was allegedly to “reduce fraud.”

Preposterous is that there will be the elimination of NRG as a voting box drop off.

Harris County is bigger than eleven states.

Penalties will be targeted at election officials who sends a mail-in ballot to a citizen without a request from that citizen.

A disaster is looming for the Republican party in the next decade. All the major cities in Texas are controlled by Democrats and the same is true for the country. Notwithstanding demographics, consider the thesis of Rahm Emanuel’s book, “The Nation City-Why Mayors Are Now Running the World.”

“About a hundred cities around the world drive the economic, cultural, and intellectual energy of our planet today. And that will grow in years ahead.” - Rahm Emanuel, p. 12 Although he did not mention political energy, in most states combined political capital will triumph over partisan gerrymandering and redistricting in the long run. As Stacey Abrams implied, the neo-Con-

federates cannot win a FAIR FIGHT. Make no mistake, the greatest point of antagonism that the NeoConfederates have is with black people.

BLACK PEOPLE can drive the resistance; however, we must foster and rely on a collective action strategy.

Why? Nationwide we are on 13% of the population and in Texas we are only 12% of the population. In Houston, we are 25-27% and too many of us are convinced that voting will not make a difference. Rainbow energy will be required to turn back the insurrectionists.

When Abbott signs the draconian Jim Crow legislation, it signals that we must go to work, we must OVERPERFORM as a people and as a multiracial movement.

We are stronger today than we were in the 1890’s. Rights that we possessed in 1890 were chopped up and cancelled during the first Reconstruction.

Guest what, it took decades of sustained struggle to recover basic democratic rights such as full voter registration and participation. Prepare for a

A Revival of God

Consciousness Bobby E. Mills, PhD

LOVE THY NEIGHBOR Love thy neighbor is a spiritual command that has both interpersonal and nation-state implications, because neither material nor non-material walls make for good neighbors. The spiritual concept neighbor is not constricted by distance, skin-color, walls, wealth, nation-state hood, political party designations or any other socio-economic barriers. Hence, an individual must love his neighbor simply because God loves US. This is why individuals must know that your neighbors are anyone you come in contact with! The spiritual key to living is learning to love others as an individual loves himself or herself. An acknowledgement of this profound spiritual reality militates against social conflicts.

Problems and hellishness occur in relationships interpersonally, institutionally or societally when individuals selfishly fall in love with themselves rather than loving others as they love

themselves. A perfect example is the insurrection that occurred on January 6th, 2021.

These individuals only love themselves and Trump. God, country and others are not in the equation. Thus, there is no life that is not lived in community, and no community not lived under the reality of God that equal is equal, not equal is more or less equal.

This spiritual concept is difficult for ungodly minds to understand.

The concept of loving and understanding who our neighbors are is a spiritually taught and learned civic precept. Neighborliness must be taught and exampled in our families, our churches and our educational institutions as a citizenship requirement. We know that this is not effectively and spiritually being taught because our prisons are overcrowded, and mass murders are frequent occurrences. To come to grips with this reality as Americans, we must spiritually decide what kind of nation-state we desire to be. The decision has already been spiritually made by God.

FREEDMEN’S TOWN BECOMES HOUSTON’S FIRST HERITAGE DISTRICT

By: AANI Staff

HOUSTON - Mayor Sylvester Turner and Houston City Council voted to pass the Heritage District ordinance and named Freedmen’s Town as Houston’s first heritage district. The announcement coincides with the City’s observance of Juneteenth.

Freedmen’s Town was selected as the inaugural heritage district due to its rich history and the initiative and support shown by the Houston Freedmen’s Town Conservancy.

As the name implies, Freedmen’s Town, often referred to as the “Harlem of the South,” was established in 1865 by newly emancipated African Americans who purchased land and created a vibrant community in Houston’s Fourth Ward.

“I can think of no better community to designate as Houston’s first heritage district than Freedmen’s Town, and no better day than Juneteenth to share the good news,” said Mayor Turner. “We thank the Houston Freedmen’s Town Conservancy for spearheading the efforts that have led to the development of heritage districts, which will benefit communities across the city.”

Heritage districts are intended to foster civic and cultural pride by protecting character-defining elements within neighborhoods, highlighting the significant achievements and contributions of the community and promoting neighborhood stability.

“We are so excited to introduce this new designation that will open doors for community-led preservation and beautification efforts in the public right-of-way,” said Planning and Development Department Di-

rector Margaret Wallace Brown.

Organizations that are approved for a heritage district will be permitted to protect, restore or install significant elements within the district such as brick paved streets, curbs, driveways, sidewalks and walkways, signage and markers, public art, vegetation, and trees in the city’s public right-of-way. The designation does not provide city funding and does not apply to private property.

Enhancements to public rights-ofway within the Freedmen’s Town Heritage District are subject to City approval and review by the City’s Planning and Development Department Historic Preservation Officer. The Conservancy will be solely responsible for funding such improvements.

The Conservancy’s mission is

to preserve the historic legacy of Freedmen’s Town, inspiring all through education and awareness of its unique story.

“This heritage district designation will infuse desperately needed energy and assist the Houston Freedmen’s Town Conservancy to raise capital to protect, preserve, educate, and engage Houston and the world in ‘Telling the Story of Freedom’ in Freedmen’s Town” said Eileen Lawal, Freedmen’s Town Conservancy Board President.

About Freed-

men’s Town: Freedmen’s Town is on the National Register of Historic Places and is a historic community jewel where you can walk along streets paved with bricks hand-made and laid by the descendants of the formerly enslaved community founders. You can visit several locations that have been designated by UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, as a “Site of memory associated with the Slave Route Project” including the Rutherford B.H. Yates Museum, Bethel Park, Antioch Missionary Baptist Church, and the African American Library at the Gregory School.

ACOMPLETECOMMUNITY IN ACRES HOME FOCUSED ON EQUITY AND NOT GENTRIFICATION

By: Toliver

I am a longtime resident of Acres Home. We are proud that our Mayor is also from Acres Home. There is something I have been noticing. I see high-income households expanding.

Acres Home, is experiencing housing costs rises. We have undergone significant socioeconomic changes.

The neighborhood has many low and moderate families the racial makeup is rapidly expanding. As higher income households move in, property appraisals rise and so do taxes for each taxing entity.

The city has initiated a complete community initiative. Acres Home is one of the target areas.. We celebrate the initiative, but caution against policies and actions that will negatively impact Acres Home housing, economic, public health that ultimately

impacts this community’s history, culture and social capital. Strategically, Acres Home education attainment is so important if our community desires to grow. The Mayor’s Complete Communities Initiative promotes and facilitates implementation of innovative community-identified projects and programs. This initiative is suppose to address the needs and improve access to services for Acres Home residents and businesses.

Acres Home needs a stabilization agenda. Complete Communities grew out of policies using smart growth and equitable investments in order to prevent or mitigate gentrification. In Acres Home, we should: • Establish a middle-income housing production program including investment of city subsidies.

• Reduce or freeze property taxes to protect long-time residents. Some cities are developing tax programs to help retain long-time homeowners in at-risk neighborhoods.

• Protect senior homeowners. Lowand moderate-income seniors tend to choose to sell their properties because they cannot afford rising property taxes and upkeep on their homes. Increase funding for existing senior home repair programs, prioritized for gentrifying neighborhoods.

• Prohibit large-scale luxury development in at-risk neighborhoods. The city should promote small-and medium-scale, mixed-income development in at-

risk neighborhoods.

When the Acres Home community engaged in designing a vision and strategy for our neighborhood stabilization was considered a must. We realized that there would be changes

but there would absolutely be equity for homeowners, tenants, and businesses. We want our Mayor to know we really want a equitably developed and prosperous complete community. -AANI

June 20, 2021 The money is out there, and the Black students need a chance.

It should be noted that the publishers of African-American News&Issues are in the agriculture industry. Mr. Roy Douglas and Shirley Ann Malonson not only own R&S Deer Ranch but are now the ONLY African American ranchers in Texas to sell white tail deer. They’ve seen firsthand how Black students are not getting what they deserve.

In my opinion, there is a very simple explanation as to why people are bidding lower on the animals presented by Black students. It’s not because their livestock fails to meet requirements, it’s simply because they are Black. So, what are we going to do about it?

For starters, the community and business leaders need to attend these events and bid on our youth’s livestock. Houston is flourishing with

Livestock presented by Black students at auctions are often priced lower than their white counterparts.

The Malonsons attend many FFA auctions and have witnessed Black students receiving the lowest bids for their animals, so they’ve made it their personal mission to bid HIGH to help those students because the money goes toward their education.

Black-owned businesses, and we all have a responsibility to support our children in agriculture. NO MATTER WHAT TYPE OF BUSINESS YOU HAVE – SUPPORT THE BLACK YOUTH AT LIVESTOCK AUCTIONS! If you just attend one, you will see the Black students who ARE in the agriculture programs are top performers who will make you

Another example of cannibalism is the devouring of Rep. Liz Cheney –Rep. Wyoming. Unfortunately, she is unable to be swallowed and digested.

Cheney and her allies are committed to payback for her removal from the Chair and preventing 45 from destroying the Party.

Counter organizing is silently going on. Former neo-conservatives plus BUSH family members, Condoleezza Rice and Colin Powell, Governor Hogan and moderate Republicans will significantly split the party, though not necessarily the base.

HLSR cont’d but has never won a livestock or agriculture competition. Are they not getting the resources or support they need? This high school exists in the middle of a food desert, which is even more of a reason for the need to encourage more Black students to learn the trade.

Why are we not thriving in agriculture? Is it because of inadequate teachers? Or is it due to lack of funding?

Or is it simply because the educators, leaders and parents in our communities are not encouraging their Black sons and daughters to even consider this particular field of study?

We would like to see both the HLSR and Texas school districts do more to support agriculture programs for majority Black schools and help support underfunded existing programs so more Black students can compete.

We’re not asking HLSR to hand out “participation” awards, because after all, these are competitions, but we do know that Black students can and will soar if the deck was not stacked against them. It takes a lot to raise an animal. The animal needs to be fed, groomed, housed, etc. and all of that takes funding.

AFRAMNEWS.COM 5 proud. And on the flip side, when you see that there are NOT ENOUGH Black students in the programs, you will WANT to do your part to get more students involved.

There is a misconception that you must be in the agriculture field to participate in these auctions, or that you must take the animal with you once winning a bid on it. Once the animal is slaughtered, you can donate the food to whomever you want to have it – even giving it back to the student who raised it if you choose.

Agriculture education is not only about producing farmers, it is about producing tomorrow’s scientists, nutritionists, teachers, entrepreneurs, and so much more. One major way to end food deserts and promote health and wellness within Black communities is by diversifying and advocating for our youth, especially in agricultural spaces.

Give the students an opportunity to learn how to WORK the land, which could motivate us even more in our efforts to OWN the land. It’s not enough to want to see change, we have to continuously invest in the change that is to come. Never forget the $1.3 trillion worth of buying power and the Black dollar.- AANI

Juneteenth leased the following cont’d statement that read, in part: “Juneteenth marks the anniversary of General Gordon Granger arriving in Galveston, Texas, and delivering the news of emancipation to enslaved Texans on June 19, 1865. More than two years after President Lincoln’s January 1, 1863 Emancipation Proclamation, which was intended to free enslaved persons in Confederate states, the enslaved in Texas finally received word of their freedom from General Granger, who was

backed by 2,000 Union soldiers.”

Wisconsin Republican Sen. Ron Johnson blocked the bill in 2020, saying that the day off for federal employees would cost US taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars. Johnson dropped his objection this week despite his concerns, paving the way for the bill’s passage in the Senate.

“Although I strongly support celebrating Emancipation, I objected to the cost and lack of debate,” said Johnson in a statement. “While it still seems strange that having taxpayers provide federal employees paid time off is now required to celebrate the end of slavery, it is clear that there is no appetite in Congress to further discuss the matter.”

Congressman Green began recognizing Juneteenth as a paid holiday in his office in 2020.

“What began as a grassroots movement to commemorate Texas history is now set to become our nation’s 12th federal holiday. In honor of the late Al Edwards – the father of the Juneteenth holiday in Texas – and every person illegally enslaved in Texas during the period between Lincoln’s proclamation and Granger’s announcement of emancipation, I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to vote for this legislation on the House floor.” -AANI
