INVITES YOU AND A GUEST TO AN ADVANCE SCREENING OF

Bill Cosby, the comedian and actor once known as “America’s Dad” for his TV role as paternal Dr. Cliff Huxtable, avoided a conviction on Father’s Day weekend as a jury declared itself hopelessly deadlocked on charges he drugged and molested a woman more than a decade ago.

Prosecutors found themselves back to square one June 17 after the judge declared a mistrial following more than 52 hours of deliberations over six days.

Excoriated by the defense for charging Cosby in the first place, District Attorney Kevin Steele vowed to put him on trial a second time, saying accuser Andrea Constand supported the decision.

“She has shown such courage through this, and we are in awe of what she has done,” Steele said. “She’s entitled to a verdict in this case.”

Cosby’s team declared victory, however temporary.

By sowing doubt among one or more jurors, Cosby’s lawyers managed to overcome two years of unrelenting bad publicity for their client after the public release of his damaging testimony about drugs and sex, as well as a barrage of accusations from 60 women who came forward to accuse him of sexual assault.

Constand told jurors Cosby gave her pills that made her woozy and then penetrated her with his fingers as she lay paralyzed on a couch, unable to tell him to stop. The 2004 encounter at Cosby’s suburban Philadelphia estate was the only one to result in criminal charges.

Constand is ready to go to trial again, said her lawyer, Dolores Troiani.

“She’s a very spiritual woman, she believes things happen for a purpose, and I think the purpose is … it should encourage other women to come forward and have their day in court.”

Cosby’s team immediately went on the attack.

The entertainer’s wife of 53 years, Camille, slammed prosecutors for bringing the case to court, calling Steele “heinously and exploitively ambitious” in a statement released after the trial. She also criticized the judge, the accuser’s lawyers and the media.

“How do I describe the judge? Overtly arrogant, collaborating with the district attorney,” said her statement, which was tweeted by her husband and read by an associate of the public relations firm representing Cosby.

Cosby himself didn’t comment, remaining stoic as the judge declared a mistrial, but Wyatt declared the star’s “power is back. It has been restored.”

Portraits Emerge of Officers Hailed as Heroes at Shooting

By The Associated Press

One of the U.S. Capitol Police officers injured while defending members of Congress during a shooting at a baseball field is a gregarious gym-goer and hard worker who adores his mother, his friends say. The other is a high-achieving former college athlete who a former boss says “exudes confidence and dedication.”

Special Agents David Bailey and Crystal Griner, along with their colleague Henry Cabrera, who was not injured, are being hailed as heroes for their response to the gunman who opened fire June 14 during a congressional baseball team practice in

Alexandria. The attack left three others, including U.S. Rep. Steve Scalise, injured, but authorities and lawmakers who were at the park say the officers’ valor prevented what could have been a far worse tragedy.

“They ran right into the fire. They ran right into those guns and the bullets, and they saved a lot of lives,” President Donald Trump said of Griner and Bailey at a news conference Thursday.

Bailey graduated from North Carolina Central University in Durham with a physical education degree in 2007, the university said in a statement. Casey Adams Jones met Bailey while he was a student there and said in an interview Thursday that they’ve become close friends in the 10 years since.

Adams Jones said Bailey always had a passion for law enforcement and was proud to join the Capitol Police force about eight years ago.

Bailey was not shot but was treated for a minor injury and has been released from a hospital.

Griner, who was shot in the ankle, was also released from a hospital where she and her wife were visited Wednesday night by the president and first lady Melania Trump, who brought them a bouquet of flowers, according to a White House pool report.

Hood College in Frederick, Maryland, said Griner was a 2006 graduate. A biology major, Griner was a guard on the college basketball team and earned rookie of the year honors in 2003, according to a player profile provided by the school.

Capitol Police Officer David Bailey (left) and U.S. Capitol Police Officer Crystal Griner, were both wounded as they, along with other officers, engaged James T. Hodgkinson, who opened fire on Republican lawmakers at a baseball practice in Alexandria, Va. “We are proud of Crystal Griner … for her heroic actions and dedicated service. While I wasn’t here when Crystal was a student, those who knew her describe her as highly engaged and personable, a high achiever both in the classroom and on the court,” college President Andrea Chapdelaine said in a statement.

Kim Dine, who retired last year as chief of the Capitol Police, said he remembered Griner as someone who “exudes confidence and dedication.”

“She always struck me as incredibly focused, diligent and professional and ready to meet the mission,” he said, adding that the officers’ response Wednesday was “brilliant and brave.”

Jada Pinkett Smith Calls Tupac Biopic ‘Deeply Hurtful’

Jada Pinkett Smith is calling the Tupac Shakur biopic “All Eyez on Me” ”deeply hurtful” for its portrayal of her relationship with the rap legend.

She said she never had an argument with Shakur backstage, that their parting was fictionalized and that he never read her a poem, as seen in the film.

Caucus Continued from A1 document, but the administration has failed to respond.

“The CBC, and the millions of people we represent, have a lot to lose under your administration,” Richmond wrote. “I fail to see how a social gathering would benefit the policies we advocate for.”

Trump and top members of the caucus met in March, but Richmond said there has been no followthrough on promises like helping Black lawmakers meet with Trump’s Cabinet.

Specifically, the caucus criticized Trump’s budget proposal, which would cut money for Pell Grants for low-income college students and eliminate the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program, which helps seniors and others on fixed incomes heat their homes.

The caucus singled out moves

by Sessions on drug prosecutions and civil rights enforcement, and complained that the House GOP health care bill that Trump celebrated during a Rose Garden ceremony would “strip millions of Black people of their health care.”

Richmond’s letter responded to an invitation from Trump

HBCU Continued from A1 academic programs from Maryland’s Traditionally White Institutions (TWI’s) to the state’s four HBCUs (Bowie State University, Coppin State University, Morgan State University and University of Maryland Eastern Shore) as part of the formula needed to place Maryland’s HBCU’s on par with the state’s TWI’s.

“The court has broad authority to come up with a remedy that is broadly impactful,” Jones said. “The point I want to make is the State basically, in our view, is exaggerating the alleged harms,” he said.

Jones said academic program transfers in Maryland’s higher education system were needed to destroy the core of the unequal system the court found in 2013. “If we think about it, transfers, we get it, are the most difficult things to do, because, frankly, it comes the closest to dismantling the dual and unequal system,” he said. Jones went on to argue that the prior landmark case in higher education desegregation, United States v. Fordice (1992) erred in underestimating the issue of academic program duplication into consideration in designing a remedy to end desegregation in Mississippi’s higher education system.

Attorneys for the state of Maryland argued vehemently against academic program transfers from TWI’s to HBCUs saying that program transfers would do “irreparable harm” to the TWI’s that would lose them. “These are the worst and most destructive things that can be done,” said state’s attorney Cyril V. Smith.

“They’re not transfers, they’re shut downs.”

But Jones argued for the Coalition that the phase out of the joint University of BaltimoreTowson State MBA program was effectively discontinued. “The joint M.B.A. program was discontinued with no claim of harm,” he said.

Coalition’s attorneys also argued for first right of refusal for new high demand academic programs being offered within the state’s higher education system and for the appointment of a Special Master that will oversee the remedy to be issued by Judge Blake. ‘Disparities in unique, high demand programs has increased,” said Jones indicating that Maryland’s HBCU’s previously had White enrollment as high a 20% before the state aggressively began a process of assigning new high demand academic programs to TWI’s. The Coalition’s research shows that HBCUs have 10 unique high demand academic

She said caucus members who were excluded from the March meeting have been reaching out to her personally, as well as to the

programs (total number for all four HBCUs) compared with 171 high demand programs at Maryland’s TWI’s.

Smith countered for the State that the Coalition’s request for a Special Master and first rights to new high demand academic programs would be too costly to implement.

“We think that cost matters, especially in the context of the budget in Maryland today,” he said. “There’s not a magic pot of money somewhere.”

But the Coalition’s attorney Jones countered with the central thrust of the Coalition’s argument. “Just because it is less expensive to leave a constitutional violation in place, does not make it right, Jones said. “Serious constitutional violations mean serious costs,” he said directly challenging the State’s opposition to pay for correcting a decades long pattern of discrimination.

The HBCU Equity Trial ended the final remedial phase June 8. In 2013, Judge Blake found the State of Maryland liable for continuing to perpetuate a system of legal discrimination in Maryland higher education.

Blake ordered both sides into mediation after her 2013 ruling. After the State of Maryland failed to offer a substantive remedy the case was ordered back to court in January 2017.

Brenda Shum, Director of the Educational Opportunities Project for the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law and one of the Coalition’s attorneys said she could see the State preparing for an appeal. She was concurrently offended by the State’s refusal to meet its legal burden to offer viable remedies in the HBCU Equity Case.

“They most certainly are laying the groundwork for their appeal, which is their right. But what I find baffling is that they were not concurrently exploring other ways to address program duplication or increase the White student enrollment at the HBCUs. They were not obligated to accept our remedial theory which focused on institutional identity, niches, and unique and high demand programs.

But they did very little to explore what might have desegregative effect,” Shum said.

Blake promised diligence and speed in issuing a final decision. “These issues are extremely complex. I don’t need to tell you that. They are also of great importance to, again, everyone in the courtroom, certainly to me, to do my best.” She said. “I can’t promise you a precise date, but I will do my best to get it out in a reasonable period of time and take into account, again, the thoughtful and helpful presentations on both sides.”

wanton slaying of an innocent colored man.

“Thus the fortieth in eleven years to be killed by a policeman meets the fate of the other thirty nine.

“The coroner’s jury, with one colored person on it, brought in a verdict which was never before known in Morgue history. Here is the language: “We believe that the said Vivian H. Landrum discharged his gun when he believed his life was in jeopardy, such jeopardy being initiated by a mental process and not by any overt act or acts on the part of those under arrest.”

“Now the District Attorney,

after adequate opportunity to study the evidence adduced at the coroner’s inquest, refuses to present the case to the grand jury.

Innocence proved “Basey was arrested for disorderly conduct. Three other men were arrested with him. The three which Landrum did not kill were tried and the case against them was dismissed.

“If Basey had lived to tell the story he, too, would have been acquitted, for all four cases rested upon the same evidence.

“Thus we have the picture of the policeman arresting men for behaving disorderly, when there was no disorder; the shooting to death of one of them by the arresting officer; a meaningless verdict by the coroner’s jury, and lastly the refusal by the District Attorney to lay the facts before the grand jury.

Simmons Continued from A1 family with 12 children, at a time when colleges were just desegregating,” Simmons said in a statement. “I know how important historically Black colleges and universities are for kids like I was.”

In 1995, Simmons was named president of Smith College, one of the largest historically women’s liberal arts colleges.

Brown University selected Simmons as President in 2001.

Brown University is named for the Brown family in gratitude for the endowment given to it by Nicolas Brown, Jr. While Nicolas was an abolitionist, the Brown family’s wealth was accumulated from exploitation of the Triangle Trade, the sale of Southern sugar, molasses and rum and African slaves.

Simmons, as Brown president, established the University Steering Committee in Slavery and Justice in 2003 to investigate the university and the Brown family. The study prompted the university to revise its

official history and created a publicly available archive of the relevant historical documents. The university also made recommendations to “strengthen” its Department of Africana Studies and establish the Center for the Study of Slavery and Justice.

When Do President Trump’s Lies Become Too Much?

President Donald Trump has a bad habit of stretching the truth—too often, and mostly for his own glorification. Indeed it appears to happen so often that we are sadly wondering whether or not he is incapable of telling the truth.

He makes up scenarios in real time; he twists facts; he dodges legitimate questions from the media; and he concocts bizarre storylines to fit his problematic, racially-insensitive legislative agenda. And he never owns up to any of his mischaracterizations, fabrications –and bold-face lies.

Trump is not fit to be President of the United States and, frankly, we question his state of mind.

When does this madness end? All Americans – Democrats and Republicans - should be outraged by Trump’s childish, despicable and reckless behavior.

Trump’s lies have become fodder for late-night comedy routines while he turns America into the laughingstock of the world. But Trump is not just a careless carnival act, his lies have global implications and pose a danger to the security of the nation and the world. It’s not simply buffoonery, Trump’s lies and subsequent conduct could be considered criminal.

According to The Washington Post, Trump has made 488 false or misleading claims since he took office in January -- an average of 4.9 claims a day.

He’s been crowned the “King of Whoppers” by social media sites and world leaders have openly questioned Trump’s facts.

Here’s a snapshot of Trump’s most outlandish lies: Early in Trump’s presidency, he spoke of a crime-ridden America with a faltering economy, a place where urban America was in complete and utter peril.

A day later, Trump falsely denied that he had been feuding with the intelligence agencies, which days earlier he had compared to Nazi Germany’s.

Trump also bragged that his inaugural crowd was larger than Obama’s, and said his Electoral College majority was larger than those of any president since Ronald Reagan.

“You came by the tens of millions to become part of a historic movement, the likes of which the world has never seen before,” Trump falsely claimed during his inauguration.

All lies.

Trump told congressional leaders that the reason he lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton was because between 3 million and 5 million votes were cast illegally and he called for a “major investigation into voter fraud.”

Trump again claimed there was widespread voter fraud during the November election, this time telling senators “thousands” of people were bussed in from Massachusetts to vote in New Hampshire.”

More lies.

In what was one of Trump’s boldest lies, the president claimed former President Barack Obama wiretapped his New York offices. There has been absolutely no proof of Trump’s allegations.

Trump also told a group of U.S. sheriffs – falsely -- that the murder rate in the U.S. was the highest it’s been in “45 to 47 years.”

And at the GOP retreat on Jan. 26, Trump said that Philadelphia’s murder rate is “steady, I mean just terribly increasing.”

More lies. Actually, the homicide rate in Philadelphia and across the country is dropping.

Enough is enough.

When do the lies end? When will President Trump take

ownership for his habitual lying? And what can Congress do to stop this insanity?

If we want to make America great again, then the reality of Trump’s incessant fabrication of real facts forces us to recognize that now is the time to salvage America’s integrity. The machinery of change must be cranked-up to resuscitate the White House by moving new tenants in— Trump Must Go—NOW! And that’s the truth.

COMMENTARY

Lives in the Balance Part II

Winning the Healthcare Battle in the Senate Between now and July 4, thousands upon thousands of American lives will hang in the balance as Senate Republicans conspire in secrecy to gut the Affordable Care Act. Yet, as of this writing, no Democratic Senators – and very few Republicans – know what is in the Republican plan.

Nevertheless, Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has directed that the Republicans’ version of repealing “Obamacare” will bypass the normal committee process in which the public can become informed, public reaction assessed, and corrective amendments considered.

Instead, as soon as the Congressional Budget Office evaluates the Republican proposal, Majority Leader McConnell intends to proceed directly to an up or down vote.

After years of Republican railing against one of President Obama’s signature accomplishments, the moment of truth on healthcare is at hand.

There has been massive public reaction against the House Republicans party-line proposal to repeal “Obamacare,” a repeal that the Congressional Budget Office estimates would cause 23 million Americans to lose their health insurance coverage.

The highly respected Quinnipac University poll revealed on June 8 that American voters overwhelmingly reject the House Republicans’ measure (by 62-17 percent). This, I suspect, is why the Senate Republicans are attempting to rush their companion repeal measure toward a narrow, party-line vote in secret.

The American People have every reason to organize, protest, and let Republican Senators know that access to affordable healthcare is a human right that elected officials deny at their political peril.

Through a widespread public outcry directed toward more moderate Republican Senators, we still have the opportunity to

Elijah Cummings

avoid disaster – and move forward toward a more rational and humane system of delivering healthcare comparable to the care available in every other advanced nation.

A brief historical note provides the foundation for this argument.

In our continuing struggle to expand access to affordable healthcare to every American, it is critical to remember the two major forces that catalyzed the reform process more than a decade ago.

First, even before President Obama and congressional Democrats began the process that resulted in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (more widely known as “Obamacare”), the Institute of Medicine had informed us that more than 18,000 Americans were dying prematurely every year because they lacked health insurance. That annual death toll was and remains an unacceptable human cost.

A second, significant motivation for reform was the accelerating rise in healthcare costs that threatened the budgets of governments, businesses and individual households alike. The private, largely for-profit insurance system in this country was failing to fully address these challenges a decade ago – and it continues to fail these tests today.

The American People must ask their elected representatives this question: Why should we continue to provide massive public subsidies to a failed system of healthcare financing when it would be more cost-effective and rational to fund healthcare in the same manner that we already fund care for our elderly, disabled, veterans, and poor?

The answer to this question is why some of us believed a decade ago (and continue to believe today) that a single-payer system based upon expanding Medicare to everyone would be the most effective strategy.

Our current proposal to achieve that goal, The Expanded and Improved Medicare for All Act (H.R. 676), is sponsored by Rep.

John Conyers and co-sponsored by 112 of us in the House.

However, establishing access to affordable healthcare as a civil right through the Affordable Care Act was the progress that we could politically achieve back in 2010 – and the ACA remains our first line of defense today.

I remain convinced that we can win this battle. To prevail, however, our nation must directly confront the reality that human lives – the lives of people you and I know personally – are at risk.

A significant proportion of Obamacare’s expansion of healthcare access has occurred through liberalizing access to Medicaid for the working poor. These are the neighbors who would be most immediately affected by the Republican repeal effort (although almost every family would eventually feel the impact in their insurance premiums).

The federal government is currently paying 95 percent of expanded access to Medicaid. Limiting that federal commitment is a central prong of the Republicans’ attack – both through cutting back on its contribution for Medicaid expansion and through “block granting” Medicaid generally.

Earlier this month, a Kaiser Family Foundation poll revealed that the ACA’s Medicaid expansion is supported by 84 percent of the public, including 71 percent of Republicans. This is why the core of the internal Republican debate in the Senate appears to be how rapidly and deeply they can gut the federal contributions to Medicaid and survive politically.

The American People understand that lives are in the balance in this healthcare debate. We must continue to make our voices heard.

With a massive public outcry against healthcare repeal, we can win this fight and save lives.

How Young People Can Find Success in Baltimore I join Baltimore Mayor

Barbara A. Robinson Catherine E. Pugh in her

recognition of the need to assist our youths –– our future leaders –– to excel to their fullest potential. My pillars of achievement are the following: Health, safety and security, economic development to include jobs, education and self-actualization (which means, being all you can become, utilizing your abilities and capabilities).

Health includes eating a nourishing diet. It means having access to healthy foods in areas identified as food deserts, providing a process where those deserts can be turned into places where residents of those areas will have access to fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, fresh meats and fresh produce.

Safety and security means young people have a safe place to play, and a home where they will be secure and safe. It means they will feel safe to walk to school, to attend after school programs and have an expectation they will arrive to their destinations safely and return home safely.

Economic development means having jobs or being able to earn money. I attended an event where young people were being honored as published authors. There were nine published authors being honored and none were older than fifteen-years-old.

These young people pursuing their dreams at an early age are indicative of what can happen when we provide an atmosphere for creative growth. This is one of the reasons I am advocating for financial literacy and entrepreneurship to be taught in school beginning in the 10th grade.

Education is without a doubt an extremely important component of any success plan. It is true that one can become successful without graduating from college; however, you will still need to know how to read, write and understand mathematics.

With technology expanding at an alarming rate and young people communicating by cellphones rather than writing, I have seen the decline of young people learning how to write in cursive.

I have found that the use of grammar and sentence formation is at a decline with written communication. Because of the

abbreviations used in texting, many sentences are formed with the use of letters rather than words such as: “OMG” for “Oh my God” or “Oh my goodness,” “ur” rather than “you are,” “lol” rather than “laugh out loud,” or “lots of love,” and so on. It appears that texting has created a language of its own.

Self-actualization means being all you are capable of becoming.

It means realizing your potential, capabilities and abilities and going for your dream. When you are satisfied with your home life, your education and you feel safe enough to pursue your dreams, the quality of your life is greatly improved. We as adults owe it to the younger generation coming behind to help them become the leaders we need in our communities, or businesses and the world.

I applaud Mayor Pugh for not losing sight of the most important aspect of our future and that is the training of our future leaders, our youths.

Fate of Annual HBCU Cuba Programs Unclear

By Lenore T. Adkins Special to the AFRO With President Donald Trump enacting a new Cuba policy that aims to, among other things, curb tourism to the communist island, educators running journalism programs at Howard University and Morgan State University need more time to digest how the changes could affect their annual school trips to Cuba.

For now, faculty at both schools are taking a waitand-see approach. “I think it’s too soon to tell because all of us need to read the regulations as they’re written,” Frederic Kendrick, an assistant professor in Howard’s Department of Media Journalism and Film, told the AFRO. He co-organizes the department’s trips to Cuba, which help students secure international reporting experience in Spanish.

Since 2012, DeWayne Wickham, founding dean of the School of Global Journalism and Communication at Morgan State University, has taken journalists, educators, students, and professionals on trips to Cuba to learn about Afro Cubans and their links to African Americans. Wickham told the AFRO that once the federal government rolls out the new regulations he will ensure the trips he leads to Cuba adhere with the new policy. Until then, he said, those trips will continue until the administration tells him his groups cannot go as journalists and/or educators.

“I think the work we do there is important,” said Wickham, a former USA Today

columnist.

On June 16, Trump signed an executive order before a supportive crowd of Cuban Americans in Miami that reversed certain parts of the Obama administration’s Cuba policy.

The decades-old embargo against Cuba blocked most trade with the island and outlawed tourism, but Obama’s policy loosened the embargo, facilitating some travel and trade for Americans. Trump argued that Obama’s policy didn’t help the Cuban people and instead enriches the Castro regime, that Trump said continues to repress citizens who speak out, jails political prisoners, and commits other human rights violations.

Under the new policy, Trump will prohibit most direct financial transactions with the Cuban military, intelligence, and security services, which control more than 50 percent

With President Donald Trump’s new Cuba policy it is unclear if trips, like the one these Morgan State University students took to Cuba in 2016, will continue.

of Cuba’s economy including the tourism industry and most hotels on the island.

Travel groups like Wickham’s typically stay in one of those hotels. Kendrick said his students stayed at bed and breakfasts, which are run independently of the state.

“The profits from investment and tourism flow

directly to the military,” Trump said in Miami. “The regime takes the money and owns the industry. The outcome of (the) last administration’s executive action has been only more repression and a move to crush the peaceful, democratic movement. Therefore, effective immediately, I am canceling the last administration’s

completely one-sided deal with Cuba.”

Trump’s policy will scrap unchaperoned, individual trips to Cuba that Obama instituted.

Travelers visiting Cuba on educational trips will instead have to go in groups with a guide.

The Cuban government, meanwhile, denounced the new

policy in a letter the same day, saying it is merely a strategy to upend the island’s political, economic, and social systems and is “condemned to fail.”

The missive went on to say that the United States is in no place to lecture Cuba about human rights, listing a litany of issues, including the passage of a House bill to repeal and replace Obamacare that would eliminate health insurance for an estimated 23 million Americans, the treatment of refugees, especially those who are Muslim, and ongoing issues with police brutality.

“We have deep concerns [about] the respect and the guaranties of the human rights in that country, where there is a large number of cases of murder, brutality and police abuse, particularly against the African Americans,” the letter said. “The right to live is violated as a result of deaths by firearms.”

SENIOR LIVING

How to Choose a Senior Living Home

By Alexis Taylor Special to the AFRO Martha Franklin never envisioned living in a community with an age minimum.

When she filled out an application to live in a Northeast Baltimore co-operative for seniors she was only half-serious about the thought.

“I had a relative living here before me,” Franklin told the AFRO. “We had Thanksgiving dinner in the community room and I said jokingly “I’m going to move in here.

Welcome to my home.”

That was 13 years ago.

Today, Franklin not only calls a senior co-operative community “home,” she is in her fourth term as president of the Bowley’s

Garden Villa Co-op, where the youngest member is 62-years-old.

The 78-year-old said that while finances drove her decision, the atmosphere, convenience and culture were the reasons she chose to stay.

“Once I moved in it was like moving into a hotel,” said Franklin, who’s spent 74 of her 78 years in Baltimore. “We have laundry rooms on every floor. You put your trash out and someone takes it for you. There are emergency response people from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m., and we have community rooms where we gather to reminisce and have fun.”

Franklin said that live-in assistants aid guests with more in-depth health concerns, and when issues arise, staff and the co-op members

UMD Murder

Public Schools CEO Defends Against Fraud Charges

By Shantella Y. Sherman and Lenore Adkins Special to the AFRO On the heels of a third stellar high school graduation season Prince George’s County Public Schools CEO Kevin Maxwell, is defending himself against allegations by members of the county’s school board that indicate that the system routinely fixed grades and gave credit to students for classes and class work never mastered.

The claims, brought by four board members: Edward Burroughs; David Murray; Raaheela Ahmed; and student member Juwan Blocker and substantiated in part by some parents, were addressed in a letter to Maryland Governor Larry Hogan. The letter listed allegations that hundreds of students had courses added to their records; grades were changed without teachers’ consent; and

students received credit for service learning hours that they had not earned – all in an effort to boost graduation rates.

“Much to our anger and extreme disappointment, and that of a majority of the Board of Education, a handful of Prince George’s County Public Schools community members have made baseless accusations about our high school graduation rates,” Maxwell said at a press conference on June 20. “Allegations that we systemically engaged in unethical practices are false, play to the worst suspicions –Reynoldo Simmons about our school system and disparage all of us.”

Still the claims that corruption in PGCPS went as far back as 2014 and include hundreds of students who received diplomas despite having failed to meet state requirements for graduation, has some parents up in arms.

Lawmakers Call for Metro Overhaul

Prince George’s County

After a stellar football campaign in 2016, Dr. Henry A. Wise Junior High School in Upper Marlboro, Md. sent three players to the Big 33 Football Classic on June 17. Since its inception in 1957, the Big 33 Football Classic is an all-star event that features the best high school players in Pennsylvania and Maryland.

The game has notable alumni such as Joe Namath, Tony Dorsett, Joe Montana, and Dan Marino, and the Big 33 has had at least one alumni in each Super Bowl ever played.

Led by head coach DaLawn Parrish, Wise secured its second consecutive 4A Maryland State Championship, and the Pumas haven’t lost a game (24-0) since 2014 in a playoff match against DuVal High School. Led by senior quarterback Jabari Laws, the Pumas slashed through its competition effortlessly to an undefeated record as Wise dismantled Quince Orchard 42-7 in the 2016 4A Maryland State Championship game.

Nicknamed the G.O.A.T. by Parrish at the quarterback position, Laws had the best season of his high school career after he threw for 2,424 yards and 38 touchdowns. “It always feels good to have your players represent your state, school, and your community,” Parrish told the AFRO. “It is an honor for them, and it is an honor for me to watch.”

He also rushed for 669 yards, and he found the end zone 14 times on the ground in 2016. “It is a great honor,” Laws told

A group of Maryland lawmakers has proposed an overhaul of the Washingtonarea subway system that would give the struggling rail network the dedicated funding its leaders say it needs.

The lawmakers are calling for a radical restructuring of the Metro system’s board of directors.

Their proposal, released Monday, would also leave it up to the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia to decide how to come up with the $500 million in annual dedicated funding that Metro’s general manager has called for.

Metro is the nation’s only major subway system without a tax that provides direct funding. It relies on annual subsidies from the three jurisdictions and the federal government.

The lawmakers proposing the overhaul are

all Democrats from the Washington suburbs.

“There’s a need for funding, but it certainly will not come without credible governance and oversight reform,” said Del. Erek Barron, a Prince George’s County Democrat. “This proposal gets us there and we’re certainly open to other ideas.”

Under the plan, which would take effect only if approved by lawmakers in the city and both states and ratified

by Congress, Metro’s board would shrink from 16 members to three: the secretaries of transportation for Maryland and Virginia and Washington’s transportation director. Metro’s current board, which includes appointees from each jurisdiction and the federal government, has often been described as unwieldy, and any jurisdiction can block major changes from taking Continued on B2

Baker

Continued from B1 seeking to replace Gov.Larry Hogan, who is highly popular and trying to become the first Republican governor to win reelection in 60 years.

Baker and Jealous are attempting to do what former Lt. Gov. and current U.S. Congressman Anthony Brown could not and that is become the first Black person to lead the state.

Baker, who recently showed well in an Anne Arundel poll and had a planned stop in Baltimore shortly after the announcement went public, is expected to run on a platform centered around education and economic development.

He has received mixed reviews on his performance in the county where he replaced the scandal-filled administration of Jack Johnson when he first took office in 2010 following two losses in the county executive race.

While he received kudos for bringing MGM to the county and for perceived improvements in the school system, many of his critics, particularly in the minority contracting community say Baker has not been a strong enough advocate for jobs and contracts. His handpicked choice for School Superintendent Dr. Kevin Maxwell has been under constant fire for a series of events that has cast a negative eye on the county and school system. Yet, Baker, who has more than 25 years of public service under his belt, said he believes he is the best choice for governor.

“We can’t wait for change,” said Baker, who was surrounded by family in the video that was distributed to media outlets and on social media. “We’ve got to make it happen. It’s time to build a Maryland that leaves no one behind.”

Baker said he believes he can make a difference on issues that are important to state residents.

“We can’t wait for change.”

– Rushern Baker “Marylanders work hard for their money and deserve a governor who’ll make it easier for them to afford healthcare, provide for their families, plan for the future, and have great public schools,” he said in the video. “They deserve a governor that supports paid sick leave, makes Maryland a leader in innovation and economic growth and stands up for the rights of all of us.”

The Baker announcement is the latest in the political chips that are beginning to fall as the 2018 race begins to take shape.

The first salvo was fired by District 25 Del. Darryl Barnes who changed his mind about running for the Maryland State

Senate seat that is expected to be vacated by Ulysses Currie.

Citing the need for unity and the opportunity to do some great things, Barnes surprised the political pundits by announcing June 14 at his annual fundraiser that he would not seek the State Senate seat vacated by Currie, but instead would run for re-election for a second term in the House of Delegates, which is where he has become a powerful voice for Prince George’s County and the vice chair of the Maryland Black Caucus. Speaking before a packed room of supporters at the Doubletree Hotel in Largo, Md., Barnes said he had did a lot of soul searching before coming to the conclusion that staying in the House was “the right thing to do” at this time in his political career.

Barnes’ decision clears a path for former Del. Melony Griffith, who has garnered the support of a long list of elected officials, from the county including Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller, Sen. Joanne Benson (D-24), County Executive Rushern T. Baker III and Del. Dereck Davis.

“I truly believe this is the year of the woman,” Barnes said in reference to Griffith. “We have an opportunity to do some great things together.” Griffith is expected to be challenged by Del. Angela Angel, who received the most votes in her race in 2014 and will go into the race as the anti-establishment candidate who also will draw upon strong union support.

Public Schools Continued from B1

“Education is a process and no one wins if there is cheating,” Seat Pleasant resident Reynoldo Simmons told the AFRO. “My grandson graduated two years ago from Roosevelt, and we all figured it was a blessing to have him get some type of degree, but now he’s in community college taking remedial courses in everything. I love him, but he should have been held back a couple of times.”

Simmons’ concerns are shared by other families whose children earned failing

marks on classwork, but passing grades on report cards. State data shows that four-year graduation rates in Prince George’s County improved from 74.1 percent for the class of 2013 to 81.4 percent for the class of 2016.

That jump was the largest for that time-period of any school system in the state.

“These claims are an affront to the hard work of our teachers, administrators, students and parents over the last few years,” Maxwell said in a statement. “I categorically deny any systemic effort to

promote students who did not meet state graduation requirements.”

Nine other school board members denounced the allegations in a letter and directed fellow board members to apologize and resign if an investigation fails to return evidence of widespread corruption or if an investigation isn’t justified.

“The claim that folks are pushing students out is false,” board member K. Alexander Wallace told Fox 5 DC. “We’re pushing our students to be the best that they can be.”

2017 D.C. Lottery

Maxwell pointed to a January report that cleared the school system of fraud accusations. “The Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE), at the direction of the U.S. Department of Education, conducted an investigation

into the county’s graduation rates in the wake of an anonymous complaint that alleged the Chief Executive Officer had ’forced educators to change the grades of ninth and twelfth grade students in order to boost promotion and graduation rates,” he said in a

statement.

As stated in the report, the investigation determined “there was not anything done to indicate grades had been manipulated nor that bullying had been used to ensure more students were being promoted or graduated.”

they provide periodic updates to the UMD and BSU communities, as appropriate,” he said in a statement.

In court records, the University of Maryland student charged with killing Collins, Sean Urbanski, reportedly approached Collins, demanded he step aside, and when he refused, stabbed him.

Collins’ murder was the first homicide at the University of Maryland in decades, though it occurred amid a series of racist incidents on the campus, including the discovery of a noose in a fraternity house earlier this month and the distribution of nationalist fliers earlier this year.

Artie Lee Travis, Bowie’s vice president for Student – Artie Lee Travis Affairs, told the Baltimore Sun, “We are looking forward to the quickest investigation as possible. I’m in no place to feel very many emotions beside sadness and just a deep sense of personal loss.”

The FBI confirmed that it is currently investigating the murder as a hate crime.

“We are looking forward to the quickest investigation possible.”

it’s going to be eye-opening, and I’m getting excited about playing for them now.”

Another Big 33 all-star who stood out for the Pumas last year was Khyree Jackson.

The athletic wide receiver was one of Laws’ favorite targets on Wise’s potent offense.

Jackson led the Pumas in receptions (39), and he accounted for 612 yards and 12 touchdowns. He will be attending Arizona Western Community College next year to play for the Matadors. “It is a blessing, and we are definitely repping P[rince] G[eorge’s County],” Jackson told the AFRO. Finally, ironman tackle Savion Williams rounded out the Wise selections who dominated the Maryland roster. Standing at six-foot-five and weighing 304 lbs., Williams was made for the Big 33 Football Classic. He was nearly impenetrable as an anchor for Wise

protecting Laws, and he was a menace on the defensive side of the ball.

Williams terrorized opposing backfields in 2016 by accumulating 52 tackles, six sacks, and he averaged nearly four tackles a game. He said he will be taking his talents to Lackawanna College in Scranton, Penn. next year. “He stuffs up the middle with his size, and he is a very versatile player,” said Jackson about Williams. “Everyone should be on the lookout for him as a player when he leaves Lackawanna.”

Six Prince George’s County players were honored to play in this year’s installment of the all-star game that included the Wise trio as well as linebacker DeLani Carter (Charles H. Flowers), lineman Stefan Touani (Oxon Hill), and lineman Chris Darrisaw of Riverdale Baptist.

Giving each jurisdiction the power to come up with a funding formula is an acknowledgment of the political reality that elected officials are unlikely to agree on a single, regional tax, such as a sales tax, to fund the system.

Black Violin Brings Classical Music into Hip-Hop Focus

It’s the hood, but I love being something that you want to have tucked next level and making it spread and taking in the hood. So I was like, ‘How can I away in the corner, something you just the Baltimore story around the world, so describe it in two words?’ So basically it’s want to gentrify.

Reginald F. Lewis [Museum] some people from Princeton came here to meet me and I told them about A Beautiful Ghetto and that’s how I described it to them.

AFRO: What made you put the two words ‘Beautiful’ and ‘Ghetto’ together?

Devin Allen: Because when people talk about my community, it’s not looked at as being beautiful. But at the end of the day, people live here. I see beautiful things every day. My mother grew up in the hood, my family comes from West Baltimore;

AFRO Sports Desk Faceoff

By Shantella Y. Sherman Special to the AFRO ssherman@afro.com The cool breeze off the Potomac River convinced the crowds at this year’s D.C. Jazz Festival from June 9-18 to dance – even as the temperatures crossed 90 degrees – as soon as “Kev Marcus” Sylvester and Wilmer Baptiste hit the stage. Known as Black Violin, Sylvester and Baptiste have found and perfected a meticulous mix of classical music with hip-hop, as well as jazz, soul, R&B, rock and pop.

The Fort Lauderdale, Fla. natives met at performing arts high school Dillard High School, where they impressed classmates by playing popular hip-hop songs on their instruments – Sylvester on violin; Baptiste on viola. More than a decade later, they continue to insist they are hip-hop first, before classical.

“Our music identifies with what hip-hop is because if you listen to just hip-hop, and the way that we sample old-school records with tons of strings on top of (it). Everyone that’s hiphop are always drawn to the violin and the way that it sounds, because we’ve always been introduced to it, we’ve always heard it,” Sylvester told GO! Magazine. “Maybe not in the way that someone that’s listening to Shostakovich or Brahms, obviously, but sound, the violin sound, is something that we’re familiar with, because we’re sampling Al Green and we’re sampling all these old records that have violins on there.”

Baptiste said that as Black men living in America, they understand challenges and they also understand the power of ‘I can” and have made a conscious decision to promote and support the power in challenging the odds. Calling it a move to challenge world views, stereotypes, and labels, Black Violin has played for more than 100,000 students and public shows across the U.S. and Europe.

“We realize that every opportunity to connect our diverse fans is an opportunity to break down the barriers that separate us, empower individuality and encourage progress.

“For us, playing those instruments and experimenting and trying to play something that we heard on the radio was just — it’s just what you did. If you were a ballet dancer, you probably would — if you’re hip-hop, you probably (were) hip-hop dancing. It was just something that we used. There was never really a moment that we wanted to quit. It kept giving us reasons to keep going.”

The experimentation brought music enthusiasts like Southeast native Talissa Holmes to her feet at Black Violin’s Jazz Fest performance on June 18. Calling the musical fusion “a cultural shift back to basics,” Holmes said the duo’s work is priceless.

“Music isn’t something you hear, it is something you feel, and Black Violin gets that. It makes what they play – how they play it, affect listeners in very emotional ways,” Holmes told the AFRO. “When an audience feels the music and then feels compelled to express what they’re feeling, you’ve found a rare spiritual space.”

Was Lakers v. Celtics the Best Rivalry in Sports?

Ohio State is or Yankees/Red Sox. A true rivalry gives you something to look towards yearly. Take away the Finals matchups in 2008 and 2010 and you would have to go back more than 20 years to find the last time Celtics/Lakers even mattered. Consider the current state of the Lakers and it might take another long stretch before we even see Boston/Los Angeles again in an important matchup. We don’t know when those two franchises will matter again but what we do know is that North Carolina/Duke and Michigan/Ohio State will definitely matter next season and probably the year after that.

By Perry Green and Stephen D. Riley AFRO Sports Desk Fresh off of an NBA Finals “three-peat” appearance and ESPN’s recent documentary about the Boston Celtics/Los Angeles Lakers, rivalries have been the trending topic over recent weeks.

Golden State’s 4-1 series win over Cleveland was another chapter in their growing rivalry, but NBA fans were reminded of the even greater competition between the Lakers and the Celtics. That series basically dominated the 1980s but was established in the ‘60s before reemerging in the late 2000s. Packed with star players and bigger-than-life personalities, the Lakers vs. Celtics matchup defines what rivalries are all about. But was it the best rivalry ever?

Perry Green and Stephen D. Riley of the AFRO Sports Desk debate this question.

Riley: Michigan vs. Ohio State, Yankees vs. Red Sox, North Carolina vs. Duke and Muhammad Ali vs. Joe Frazier are just a few of the greatest rivalries of all time but it’s hard to top Celtics/ Lakers. There was something iconic about the green versus gold that other rivalries just couldn’t touch. The star power was there, the two contrasting cities were there and iconic figures were there. Larry Bird and Magic Johnson symbolized more than just basketball in an era where White versus Black was at the forefront of the Association at the time. It also helped that the two franchises are the two most winningest organizations in all of basketball so the prestige was unlike no other. Lakers and Celtics are the gold standard when it comes to great matchups.

In this June 2, 1987, file photo, Los Angeles Lakers’ Earvin “Magic” Johnson scrambles for the ball on the floor of The Forum during the NBA finals, in, Inglewood, Calif. Johnson is surrounded by unidentified Boston Celtics players. Kareem AbdulJabbar is at left.

Green: Don’t forget about Auburn/Alabama, the Dallas Cowboys and the Washington NFL franchise, Army/Navy and even Arnold Palmer/Jack Nicklaus or even the Baltimore Ravens/ Pittsburgh Steelers. The Celtics and Lakers rivalry was boosted by its longevity and the teams’ headliners but to call it the best rivalry in all of sports is insulting to the other great rivalries.

It might be the best ticket in all of basketball but it’s not the annual tradition like Michigan/

Riley: In-season rivalries are great but the thing that separates Lakers/Celtics is that it’s a championship matchup when it matters.

Two teams from two opposite coasts playing in two opposite conferences, but when they collide in the NBA Finals it’s a big deal. Sure, college rivalries give you yearly ratings but tell me the stars playing in next season’s Michigan/Ohio State matchup or Army/Navy? Fans can make a rivalry more than what it is but Lakers/Celtics is pure star power and franchise tradition. The names on the back are just as important as the names on the front and that’s something you rarely find with any other traditional rivalry. That’s what made the series iconic and that’s what will keep it preserved until the next time the two teams meet in the finals.

Green: Waiting for decades at a time to re-live “the best rivalry in sports” just is not rational to me. Even in the NFL we saw San Francisco/Dallas every year, Baltimore/Pittsburgh every year and New England/Indianapolis or New England/Denver every year featuring Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. You shouldn’t have to wait years at a time for the matchup to be iconic. A good rivalry is in your face and on your television screen every single year. The Lakers/Celtics were absolutely the best thing going back in the ‘80s because we saw it routinely and couldn’t escape it if we wanted. There were T-shirts, video games and merchandise sales through the roof. It was something sports fans could bank on. It’s not like that anymore; it’s mere history at this point.

Murder of Charmaine Wilson Parallels Dawson Tragedy Charmaine Wilson desperately needed help.

The 37-year old mother of eight Sean Yoes wanted out Baltimore AFRO of the public Editor housing unit syoes@afro.com where she lived with her children in the 1700 block of Gertrude Street, in Southwest Baltimore.

According to reports (as well as information presented by a caller during First Edition on June 19) Wilson had asked the Housing Authority of Baltimore City to transfer her and her family to another public housing property. By all accounts the neighborhood where they lived was rife with criminal activity; according to one neighbor gunshots rang out every night.

Wilson and her children had allegedly been victims of crime, violence and intimidation on several occasions. Her car and home had been vandalized. Her children had been bullied numerous times. She had been harassed for calling police, summoning them to that neighborhood and, “making the block hot.” But, Wilson simply wanted to protect her and her family.

She desperately needed help.

On the night of June 12, she called police twice, the first time because someone in the neighborhood had stolen a bicycle seat from her son. Then several boys attacked another son, when Wilson and some of her children confronted the accused thieves. That’s when

Open Air Drug Markets Flourish in West Baltimore

By Deborah Bailey Special to the AFRO

Baltimore police commissioner Kevin Davis, pictured with Mayor Catherine Pugh, has been dogged by multiple allegations of corruption within his department.

By Stephen Janis Special to the AFRO A Baltimore police officer whose internal disciplinary record has been the subject of a contentious court battle over its admissibility as evidence, was served with a flurry of subpoenas by prosecutors this week in an effort to compel him to appear in court after he retires. It’s an unusual move sources tell the AFRO, that may be aimed at putting the officer back in court to face further scrutiny over past allegations of misconduct.

Prosecutors served Sergeant Joseph Donato with roughly 17 subpoenas from the State’s Attorney’s Office of Marilyn Mosby, related to a variety of drug and gun cases that remain open in which he was the arresting officer or a witness.

But the subpoenas also set the stage for another potential showdown between defense attorneys and the courts over the admissibility of internal complaints lodged against Donato, that lawyers for a variety of defendants have long argued should be allowed as evidence to challenge his testimony in court.

In March, the Baltimore Sun reported a group of defense attorneys won access to roughly 30 sustained complaints against Donato ranging from excessive force to false arrests lodged between 2007 and 2013. The order, by Circuit Court Judge John S. Nugent, paved the way for Donato to face questions about his record in open court which occurred later that month.

But one of the defense attorneys who led the fight for the release of the disciplinary records says the veteran officer has missed recent court dates.

“In one of my cases a prosecutor said they couldn’t find him,” Deborah K. Levi, a public defender told the AFRO. “We were told they were unable to locate him.”

Levi says the case involving gun charges was postponed.

Mosby’s office would not elaborate on what prompted the move to issue formal subpoenas, or if they are related to cases in which Donato failed to appear. Generally, officers receive a summons to appear in court however, once Donato retires attorneys say he could technically avoid cases in which other officers involved are witnesses.

In a written statement provided to the AFRO, Caron Brace, spokesperson for Mosby, said prosecutors want to resolve a backlog of charges awaiting adjudication to ensure prosecutors can move forward with cases that have been lingering in court.

“We attempt to exhaust all options available to ensure the appearance of material witnesses in our pursuit of justice for the victims in Baltimore,” Brace stated, Donato’s attorney, Chaz Ball, declined to comment on the timing of the subpoenas or if his client had failed to appear for any recent cases. In the past Ball publicly defended Donato saying he had never been convicted of any serious internal

“...court records reveal Donato has been sued in both federal and state court for a variety of cases of excessive force and false imprisonment.”

Outrage: Mother of 8 Gunned Down in Front of Children

Take in Baltimore’s Outdoor Festivals and Music Events

By Michelle Richardson Special to the AFRO

Hello everyone, my lands of mercy. There are so many outdoor festivals and events popping up all over the city and counties, it is very hard for me to keep up with them all. I will definitely need your help. “Shorty” and I can’t do it alone. I am going to tell you about as many as I can and I have space for this week. Some of these events and festivals are going on every week and there are a few that are just annual. But Honey Child, it is so exciting and most of them are free to the public.

Now, you know about the Zion Baptist Church 28th Annual festival, that is really nice and I do a book signing there every year. That is June 24 starting at 11 a.m.

I don’t know if you realize that right in the heart of Druid Hill Park they have a Farmers Market with a lot of vendors The parade will open with marching bands, including the Citywide Goldstarz Marching Band. Other features of the festival include, motorcycle clubs, health screenings, lots of live entertainment and all kinds of vendors (arts & crafts, food, jewelry and much more.

The staff and members of the Zion Baptist Church/Oliver Community Outreach Fellowship will host their annual festival, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. June 24. This event will be in the 1600 and 1700 blocks of N. Caroline Street and the 1400 and 1500 blocks of E. Lanvale Street in Baltimore.

It’s early afternoon on the corner of Baker and McKean in West Baltimore and although it is not officially summer, the hot weather feels like the middle of July. The corner and alley just off McKean St. are hot too, with illegal activity.

It’s no secret that this corner, like more than two dozen others in West Baltimore, is one of a growing number of open air drug markets.

A steady stream of people scurry back and forth to the alley beside the newly dedicated Easterwood/Sandtown Park, to buy and sell narcotics. Late

and lots of live entertainment. I will go for the food and the entertainment and, of course, it is the perfect place to meet your family and friends every Wednesday from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. After you get off from work, there is still time for you to stop by and wind down for the evening. Again folks, both of these events are free and open to the public. The exact spot is adjacent to the Rawlings Conservatory at 3100 Swann Drive.

Oh hell, just follow the music.

I am just getting started. How about a gospel festival? That’s right. I said a gospel festival, which is also free to the public.

A week after a mother of six and grandmother of two was gunned down in front of her home while her children watched Baltimore police still have no leads in the case.

On June 14, Charmaine Wilson was murdered in the 1700 block of Gertrude Street around 10:30 p.m.

According to police, Wilson was killed over a dispute involving the bullying of her son over a bike.

“It looks like a situation where an ongoing dispute was happening in this community between her and maybe her children and some other people, and some coward with a gun came back and shot her,” said police spokesman T.J. Smith on June 21 at news conference.

Officers found Wilson suffering from gunshot wounds to the upper body. She was transported to an area hospital where she was pronounced dead.

she called police for the second (and final) time that night. According to a neighbor police had been gone less than 10 minutes, when two masked assailants walked up to Wilson and shot her at close range in front of her children. She died moments later.

I can’t ponder the depth of depravity a soul would have to descend to, in order to gun down a mother in front of her babies (six of her children were under age 18). I don’t want to.

But, what is clear is nobody in that neighborhood -- another mostly Black, mostly poor community in Baltimore smoldering with violence and fear -- wants to meet the same fate as Charmaine Wilson.

Think about it; the police had just left her house (it seems clear the gunmen had been watching them the whole time), and may still have been in close proximity when the killers brazenly, methodically approached and gunned her down while her children watched.

Fear is one of the greatest deterrents to resistance.

I suspect that’s what Darrell Brooks, the young man who

murdered the Dawson family in October 2002 believed, when he hurled a Molotov cocktail into their home on East Preston Street. Angela Dawson, her husband Carnell and their five children all died in that blaze, sparked in retaliation for Dawson having the audacity to fight back against neighborhood drug

“Fear is one of the greatest deterrents to resistance.” dealers.

More recently, the courageous brother Kendal Fenwick, a 24-year old father of three, was murdered outside of his Park Heights home, allegedly for standing up against neighborhood drug dealers in November 2015.

In this tragic case, Fenwick had the audacity to begin building a fence to keep drug dealers off of his property and to

protect his children. He never finished the fence.

In the city’s truest and most enduring spirit of resilience, neighbors, police officers and politicians gathered at Fenwick’s home in the 3500 block of Park Heights Avenue and completed the fence the brave man had started. It was a beautiful gesture, yet, Fenwick’s children are fatherless today.

One of Angela and Carnell Dawson’s children, a daughter was not home the night her family was slaughtered in 2002. I’m sure she thinks about them everyday.

And now Charmaine Wilson’s eight children and two grandchildren are without their mother.

Crime, violence and fear permeates our city and the most pervasive and powerful is fear.

No physical fence can protect us from that.

charges.

Generally the outcome of internal probes has been considered off limits to the public or defense attorneys due to the state privacy laws governing personnel records.

But in Donato’s case judges have sided with defense attorneys who have argued his testimony is tainted. Indeed, court records reveal Donato has been sued in both federal and state court for a variety of cases of excessive force and false imprisonment.

But his most public and controversial case involved the arrest of former Raven’s rookie defensive back Tony Fein.

Fein was charged with assaulting Donato after he was arrested while eating at Johnny Rockets at the Inner Harbor in the summer of 2009. Police were summoned by a security guard who reported spotting a metallic object being passed among Fein’s friends, which later turned out to be a cell phone.

Donato reported that Fein shoved him during the arrest and the incident received national attention.

The charges were later dropped, but Fein, an Iraq War veteran, was eventually released by the Ravens at the end of the preseason. Later that year Fein collapsed at a friend’s home in Port Orchard Washington and died. The Kitsap

Mother of 8

County, Washington coroner ruled his death an accidental drug overdose.

For now prosecutors have not released details on which specific cases are subject to the subpoenas or how the controversy over Donato’s record will affect their strategy in court.

Defense attorneys who have cases involving Donato were also reluctant to talk on the record.

The only thing both sides seem to agree upon is cases will not go quietly, and the controversy over how much an officer’s past can be used as evidence at trial will remain an openly contentious issue that will not be resolved easily.

Just an hour before, at 9:30, before Wilson was killed, police responded to a call from her about the assault of her son when he confronted some neighborhood people about the theft of his younger siblings bike seat.

“The police were still investigating the call that they responded out here for when this incident occurred. The information that detectives, officers were given… was that a fight took place because some kids, or some young people, young men, took a bike seat off of her son’s bike. They tried to handle it like grown people do and just get the property back, and an incident takes place at a convenience store nearby, where one of her other children is assaulted.”

“The police come out for that incident and when the police go back to the convenience store to attempt to retrieve some video, they get a walk up that a shooting had taken place right down here and they get back and they find Ms. Charmane deceased,” said Smith.

Neighbors said the police were gone for no more than 10 minutes when Wilson was shot twice in front of her home.

According to family members, Wilson was trying to relocate because the neighborhood was not safe. Wilson called the Department of

Housing and the Housing Authority numerous times in an unsuccessful attempt to get placed in new public housing. A representative for the Department of Housing told the AFRO that the agency was unable to release information about people the agency served. “They did this in such a reckless and egregious way because the police were just here,” said Smith.

“There is a murderer amongst us who is an absolutely monstrous human being who would shoot a mother basically in front of her family over a dispute,” he said.

Smith said the murder of Wilson should “outrage the entire community; the entire city.”

Monica Wilson, Charmaine’s daughter, spoke at the vigil held for her mother later the same week.

“It really is devastating to lose your mother right in your arms like that. It was just the worst feeling of my life.”

“I just want to see my mother one more time,” said Wilson. “I just want to touch her.

I just want to tell her how much I lie her and miss her.”

A GoFundMe page has been set up to help the family but her daughter said no amount of money can bring her mother back

model cars and license plates from Maryland and destinations beyond, including Washington, D.C. and Pennsylvania, come and go throughout the day. Some longtime residents say they are fed up, yet hesitant to speak publicly about the drug activity that seems to have taken over several West Baltimore communities according to residents who shared observations, but requested anonymity for fear of retaliation.

The recent announcement by Police Commissioner Kevin Davis that Baltimore Police would take on 12-hour shifts to reduce violent crime didn’t impress some residents who live near many of open air drug markets. “I didn’t see any difference,” said one resident. “Black communities with law abiding citizens are being mistreated by criminals and police,” added the resident who did not want to be identified.

“Calling 911 was not safe…residents could be identified by drug dealers.”

“Drug dealers send their own representatives to community meetings. Police ride by and see the loitering on the streets and don’t stop and get out of their car,” said another resident who did not want to be identified.

City Councilman Leon F. Pinkett (7th District) acknowledged the efforts of Commissioner Davis to place more police on the streets to reduce violence, but said that something also has to be done to directly address open air drug sales.

“The unfortunate reality in many neighborhoods in the 7th District is that we’re not seeing any difference in the drug dealing in the community,” Pinkett told the AFRO. “There are too many communities to name.

We’ve got to get a handle on this. We need help.

I can’t place any more responsibility on the backs of the citizens,” Pinkett said. “We need officers to be engaged on these drug corners on a consistent basis.”

Marvin “Doc” Cheatham, CEO of the Matthew Henson Community Development Corporation has been vocal in demanding city and police officials shut down West Baltimore open air drug markets. “We have been reporting drug sales and distribution at 1813 Baker Street

at N. McKean Avenue (J & L Market) since October of 2015, but nothing substantial has taken place,” Cheatham said.

“These are daily open-air drug sales in the store, in front of the store, alongside the store, and in the alley behind the store,” Cheatham said. “Seven requests have been [made]for blue light cameras with no response from the commissioner or major,” claimed Cheatham.

Western District Commander Maj. Sheree Briscoe said that she and her staff are “all in,” in terms of commitment to residents in the 7th District. “Their concerns are my concerns,” said Briscoe, who was appointed to the command post in May 2015, just weeks after riots rocked West Baltimore after Freddie Gray’s death.

“We’re not absent from what’s happening,” Briscoe said. “There’s no silver bullet. The drug problem is a dynamic problem,” she said, meaning that drug enforcement needed to go hand in hand with treatment and community revitalization strategies. Briscoe said she and her team are committed to working with West Baltimore residents to resolve systemic problems leading to the prevalence of illegal drug activity.

On June 10 Mayor Catherine E. Pugh held a day long “Call to Action” at Baltimore City Community College. Hundreds of people attended the day- long event which focused on employment opportunities for ex-offenders and youth initiatives.

Briscoe wants residents to understand that police can’t just engage in mass sweeps or arrests to get people off the corners. “Some of the gap in understanding would diminish if the community would participate in the training,” Briscoe said.

“Neighborhoods that are winning in this fight are neighborhoods who work together, who are not oppressed or live in fear,” Briscoe said. She points to the more than 100 liquor stores in District 7, the abundance of vacant and abandoned housing, the lack of access to jobs and educational activities in the district. “It’s easy to say, ‘Where are the Police’? But who will engage the Black men standing on the corners?

Where are the programs to give them other opportunities?,” Briscoe said.
