EDITORIAL & OPINION

The Standard View

By Billy “Hollywood” Groves

We Must Stand Up!

A

s long as I can remember, I’ve heard “racist people” in America say, “Before We let Black people have power in America, we will destroy this country first.”

This appears to be a well-supported opinion, because over the years I’ve gotten to see a lot of racist activities directed at African-Americans in positions of power, initiated to not only discredit them, but to destroy the country they represent. For example, there are still questions of legitimacy about the murders of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and other Black leaders in America and about who were actually involved in their murder conspiracies.

With Donald Trump being president and all of the trouble he is causing and the way he is trying, to put Black people back into what he feels are “their” place; I truly know “We Must Stand Up” to this force and any other force that seeks to destroy us or America because “we can” win against them. As I am writing this article, Trump is talking about shutting down the U.S. Government unless he is given millions of dollars to build a wall between America and Mexico.

In other words, he is willing to destroy the country if he doesn’t get his way.

In my mind Trump was elected by a dysfunctional electoral college, made up of voters who hated America’s first African-American President Barack Obama. Trump continues to praise people like the Republican Texas Federal Judge, who just recently ruled in his court

to end the Affordable Care Act commonly known as Obama Care, who made this decision because he believes like Trump that Black, Brown and poor Americans don’t deserve medical attention that can save and protect their lives.

It is clearly visible that numerous republican politicians reflecting “The Trump Mentality” are still in positions of power. Another example is the Republican Governor of Wisconsin, who recently lost the election for Governor to a Democrat, who actually changed the state’s laws to lessen the power of the Governor and Democrats in Wisconsin.

Enough is enough! “We Must Stand Up” to Trump and the mass confusion coming from the White House these days.

It should be noted, that as for Obama Care, it has been working very well for “all” Americans who couldn’t afford the high cost of medical attention and were unable to get the help they needed. As with any first effort, Obama Care was designed to address an immediate need and was expected to require some adjustments and changes to make it the best that it could be. Because Americans need access to medical facilities all over the nation and because the need for medical care is an “All” American need; the truth is, the Affordable Care Act (Obama Care) is one of the programs that makes America Great!

In a concluding thought, it is observable that with the White House in mass confusion, Trump under investigation and just about everywhere you look this same confusion seems to be present, it is time that “We the People” must take action and not let evil racist and disrespectful people destroy America, simply because they think they can. “We Must Stand Up” every

time we see evil being put into place through rules and laws in our society when we know they are being put into place to “hold people down”.

We can’t stop people from having evil thoughts about other people and even evil intentions; however, we can stop any threat to “Our People” and America by standing up to people who are trying to destroy “Our America”! God Bless America!

We MUST Understand

By Roy Douglas Malonson, Publisher

It Takes More than a Degree “History shows that it does not matter who is in power or what revolutionary forces take over the gov-ernment, those who have not learned to do for themselves and have to depend solely on others never ob-tain any more rights or privileges in the end than they had in the beginning.”

- Carter Godwin Woodson, Mis-Education of the Negro have to revisit this subject because it is an element that is constantly attacking our communities. When I see the state of Black America as it is, and when I speak to many mis-educated degreed folks; I can only shake my head. The mentality that a piece of paper can entitle a person to automatically demand respect and disregard others is a backwards way of thinking. For a person to think that they can rid themselves of hard work, just because they have passed tests is a thought process that has many of our youth completely ignorant of what it takes to make it in life.

I

As a result, many leave home from college to go and achieve their degrees, only to come back home to parents or grandparents who had nothing but a formal education or either none at all.

Back when I was coming up, we may not have had all of the luxuries that the modern-day society affords our youth, but, we were taught how to make a living. Even in our schooling, there were classes which equipped us to be able to leave school with some type of training. I often stress my discontent with the public-school system for removing electives and classes such as Home Economics, FFA, Woodshop and others like them.

We MUST Understand getting a proper education is one of the most valuable tools in life.

With the same token, every student that enters preschool is not necessarily equipped to accomplish a degree at the university level. Therefore, I believe teaching our students other alternatives to help them create a career for themselves in formal educational years is imperative to survival. Carter G. Woodson described some of the key factors associated with this element in his book, The Mis-Education of Negro. In Chapter Five he gives the ramifications of Africans living in America who fail to learn to make a living.

“What Negroes are now being taught does not bring their minds into harmony with life as they must face it. When a Negro student works his way through college by polishing shoes he does not think of making a special study of the science underlying the production and distribution of leather and its products that he may some day figure in this sphere. The Negro boy sent to college by a mechanic seldom dreams of learning mechanical engineering to build upon the foundation his father has laid, that in years to come he

may figure as a contractor or a consulting engineer. The Negro girl who goes to college hardly wants to return to her mother if she is a washerwoman, but this girl should come back with sufficient knowledge of physics and chemistry and business administration to use her mother’s work as a nucleus for a modern steam laundry. A white professor of a university recently resigned his position to become rich by running a laundry for Negroes in a Southern city. A Negro college instructor would have consid-ered such a suggestion an insult. The so-called education of Negro college graduates leads them to throw away opportunities which they have and to go in quest of those which they do not find.”

I understand times have changed and the workforce has conformed to accommodate a tech-savvy generation, but there are still some areas that technology just cannot extend to. So, our children need to learn how to go to school to get more than a degree. Training children to learn year-round to pass a test is not equipping them with any substance. Our youth need to be educated on basic survival tools necessary for working and competing in a growing workforce.

If you don’t believe me look at the statistics on the many who have degrees and remain unemployed. But, one thing about it, if a person has a trade, it will allow for the opportunity to provide for a family, even in the absence of a degree.

I see it all the time, young Blacks and even some old, will turn down their nose at jobs they feel are “beneath them” while holding on to the hope of a six-figure salary which may never come. One thing life has taught me that the value of a dollar does not matter where it comes from, it will still spend the same.

Legacy/Columbia, 1995. ~~~ HOUSTON - As the year comes to a close, many of us are preoccupied with celebrating Christmas, Kwanzaa and New Year’s Day. Particularly, within the African-American community, we often overlook and fail to celebrate a significant event that should have historic and symbolic significance in the life of the believer and in the life of the African-American. That is, Watch Night.

Watch Night is a late-night Christian religious service held on New Year’s Eve. The service often consists of praying, singing, exhorting and preaching.

On Watch Night, church services usually begin between 7:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. and ends shortly after midnight.

In many Christian faiths, such as those of Baptists, Methodists and Pentecostals, Watch Night provides an opportunity for Christians to review and reflect on the year that has passed,

make confessions and then prepare for the year ahead by praying and resolving.

The tradition of Watch Night can trace its origin back to the early 18th century when Moravian churchgoers in Germany began marking the occasion with a vigil to reflect upon the year past and to contemplate the one to come.

In 1755, John Wesley, Anglican clergyman, evangelist and founder of the Methodist Church in England, along with his brother Charles Wesley, adopted the practice. However, during that time, the practice was called, Covenant Renewal Services and they were held monthly during the full moon lunar phase.

Watch Night also has both cultural and historical significance—particularly, in the life of the African-American.

In 1770, the first instance of Watch Night Services occurred in America at the St. George’s Methodist Episcopal Church in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Two former slaves, Richard Allen and Absalom Jones, were a part of the church’s interracial congregation. However, they would later depart from the

church due to racial discrimination after church officials literally pulled Blacks off of their knees while praying alongside White worshipers. In 1794, Allen and Jones founded the African Methodist Episcopal Church (AME), the first independent Black denomination in the United States. Unbeknownst to them, the founders of the AME Church would inspire a new Watch Night tradition.

On December 31, 1862, what historians have since deemed “Freedom’s Eve,” free and enslaved African-Americans in

Confederate states gathered in churches, private homes and other safe spaces to await news and confirmation of the enactment of the Emancipation Proclamation by President Abraham Lincoln on New Year’s Day, January 1, 1863. Said African-Americans prayed, worshiped, sang songs of exaltation and shouted their troubles over.

For they knew their freedom was imminent.

With the awareness that their freedom was merely hours away, imagine what it must have felt like to be at one of those meetings! Feelings of anxiousness, nervousness, uncertainty, joy and relief must have filled the hearts and minds of our ancestors. Surely, there must have been a father who had plans of obtaining respectable employment and building a home for his family.

Some mother who had dreams of formally educating her son or daughter, and with the hope of one day sending them to college.

Or, some seasoned grandmother who had lived to see her mother’s prayers fully realized.

At the stroke of midnight, it

was official: More than 3 million Black slaves in the United States were to be free from bondage. Among other things, the Emancipation Proclamation declared “all persons held as slaves” within the rebellious states “are, and henceforward shall be free.”

The proclamation also authorized the recruitment of freed slaves and free Blacks as Union soldiers. It is estimated that 180,000 African-American men went on to serve in the U.S. Army, and another 10,000 served in the U.S. Navy during the Civil War, making significant contributions to the Union victory and their own freedom in 1865.

However, despite the expansive wording of the text, the Emancipation Proclamation was limited in many ways. Specifically, Lincoln’s Executive Order only applied in states that had seceded from the Union, leaving slavery relatively untouched in loyal border states; it expressly exempted parts of the Confederacy that had already come under Northern control; and the freedom it promised depended on

Union military victory.

Moreover, as evidenced by history, many African-Americans did not receive the message. Notably, African-Americans in the state of Texas. It was not until June 19, 1865 that African-Americans in Texas would learn of their freedom.

On said day, Union soldiers, led by Major General Gordon Granger, arrived in Galveston, Texas, with news that the Civil War had ended and enslaved African-Americans were now free.

Note, that this news came two and half years after President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation—which had become official on January 1, 1863.

By this time, the Thirteenth Amendment had already been passed by both chambers of Congress. On December 6, 1865, the Amendment was subsequently ratified, legally abolishing slavery and involuntary servitude. That begs the question: Why did it take so long for African-Americans in Texas to find out that they were free?

Historians suggest the Emancipation Proclamation had little impact on the state of Texas due to the limited number of Union forces available to enforce Lincoln’s Executive Order. However, with the surrender of General Robert E. Lee to Union General Ulysses S. Grant at the Battle of Appomattox Court House (Virginia, U.S.) and the arrival of General Granger’s regiment, forces were finally strong enough to overcome the resistance.

After emancipation was proclaimed in Texas on June 19, 1865, former slaves began migrating to Austin, Dallas and Galveston, but the largest migration was to Houston. Once in Houston, the newly freed Blacks paved many of the streets in brick. The new residents established a community—known as

COVER STORY

“Freedman’s Town”—where they were able to live without the daily onslaught of racism and discrimination. For African-Americans, June 19, 1865, also gave rise to “Juneteenth,” the oldest known celebration commemorating the ending of slavery in the United States.

Thus, for African-Americans, Watch Night was more than just a celebration of freedom, it served as the catalyst and backdrop for so much of our history.

Rev. Terry K. Anderson, Senior Pastor of Lilly Grove Missionary Baptist Church, echoed such sentiments by stating, “Watch night originated during slavery when the slaves were awaiting news of Emancipation in January. They prayed, sang, and made what they called ‘determinations,’ and the tradi-

to be their best days and they were determined to make Heaven their home.”

When asked what type of messages fellow members of the clergy should preach at a Watch Night Service, Rev. Anderson insisted, “The message ought to take a backward glance and a forward look with emphasis being on gratefulness for all that the Lord is doing in the lives of His children.”

Throughout history, the Black church has been the cornerstone of the African-American community. Not only has it been used for worship services, but it also serves as a meeting place to rally the community and to organize.

It is almost as if it is a beacon of hope within the Black community. This has been demon-

Students Visit RS Deer & Cattle Ranch

Texas • December 23 - 29, 2018

BOOKER T. WASHINGTON HIGH

By N. Hamilton, M.Ed., MLS HEMPSTEAD - With the No Child Left Behind laws prevalent in the 2000’s, many school districts and principals focused on academic instruction in order for students to pass tests via the elimination of music, art, libraries and other disciplines that would cultivate the whole child.

With the removal of the arts and field trips, many students of color will not get exposure to a full range of experiences like their wealthy counterparts.

What educators end up doing is giving kids who are living in poverty the most impoverished learning experiences.

Not at Booker T. Washington High School! Our very own principal, Dr. Carlos Phillips II, knows that something as minor as a field trip can spark interest in knowledge, then, and only then, can authentic learning occur. In return for these types of experiences, research has proven that students test scores will be positively impacted.

Recently, Mr. and Mrs. Malonson, owners of African-American News and Issues and the RS Deer & Cattke Ranch, invited a group of Booker T. Washington students and teachers to their private property for an enriching learning experience.

Dr. Phillips, Principal, Mr. Nicholas Turner, Lead Instructor of Future Farmers of America and Ms. Deaundra Thomas, Outdoor Adventures Instructor, got together and immediately made sure our students were able to take advantage of this opportunity.

Once we arrived, Mr. Malonson made sure our students of color received the top of the line experience. Multiple

Bringing Christmas Joy to Acres Home

By Nick Jones HOUSTON - Communications Workers of America 6222 along with the Transportation Workers of America held their annual Christmas Tree Giveaway and Toy Drive at He Heard My Cry Christian Fellowship Church.

Thanks to Houston rapper and philanthropist Trae tha Truth and his organization, Relief Gang – Angel by Nature fifty needy families in the Acres

Home community received a tree complete with a stand and all the ornaments.

When asked why he chooses to selflessly help others, Trae tha Truth says “We’re here for the people. At the end of the day a lot of people need assistance and sometimes just to know that (other) people care.”

Inside the church, located at 1333 Judiway Street, there was a huge amount of toys brought in by community leaders including

US. Congressman Al Green and members of the community to be distributed to those families that can really use this blessing.

He Heard My Cry’s Pastor Claude Cummings, III summed it up well. “During the holiday season, we encourage people to give and we are so blessed today.”
