It’s been a month since the devastating school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., and with the national gun debate heating up and major protests like the National School Walkout, conservative commentators and the Trump administration are looking for someone to blame. Now, The New York Times reports, Trump is pointing his finger at Barack Obama- or rather a guidance document created by the former president to reduce suspensions and expulsions of minority students.

While nation shaking mass shootings have not been committed by Black students,

Mayor Pugh: ‘A City on the Rise’

By now, the video has gone viral: in it, Randallstown, Maryland native, Academy Award winner, and comedian Mo’Nique is wrapping up an intense interview with Charlamagne Tha God and the rest of the crew on the syndicated radio show “The Breakfast Club.” She says goodbye to the other two hosts and then turns her attention to Charlamagne (who she refers to by his real name, Lenard).

“We have to explain brothers like you,” she tells him. “And when we watch that movie ‘Birth of a Nation and we saw that man walk his wife into that master’s house, we watched him walk his wife in then we watched him go back in. You’re that brother.”

The host doesn’t respond. What is there to say?

Mo’Nique has been making the rounds lately, speaking out about what she calls racism and sexism in the entertainment industry.

It started back in January, when she posted a video on her Instagram account detailing her beef with the streaming site Netflix: they had offered her $500,000 for a comedy special – much less than they’d offered white woman comedian Amy Continued on A3

Rony Ponthieux’s view of the future changes by the day.

A Haitian immigrant living in Miami, Ponthieux has been working in the United States under the Temporary Protected Status,TPS, provision since 2010, when he, his wife and two children, then 3 and 10, left Haiti in the wake of the island’s devastating earthquake.

and leaving investigators vowing to look at any possible explanation for a motive.

Police said the bombings in eastern Austin — two Monday and one on March 2 — (Ricardo B. Brazziell/Austin American-Statesman are likely linked. via AP) All the victims Authorities are investigating the scene in were minorities, East Austin, Texas, after a teenager was and investigators killed and a woman was injured in the are looking into second Austin package explosion in the whether race was past two weeks Monday, March 12, 2018. a factor. However, they backed off initial suggestions that hate crimes could be a core cause.

The attacks unfolded as tens of thousands of visitors arrived for the busiest days of the South By Southwest music festival.

The gathering didn’t appear related, but police urged tourists to be vigilant while warning residents to call authorities immediately if they receive unexpected parcel deliveries.

The first of Monday’s blasts occurred early in the morning when a package was carried into the kitchen and exploded upon being opened, killing a 17-year-old boy and wounding a 40-year-old woman, both of them black.

Hours later, authorities were called to the scene of another explosion also triggered by the opening of a package. That blast wounded a 75-year-old Hispanic woman, who was taken to a hospital with potentially life-threatening injuries.

Both of those explosions are thought to be linked to another early morning blast, this one on March 2, which killed a black man. Monday’s victims were not immediately identified but police said previously that the March 2 victim was 39-year-old Anthony Stephan House.

“This is the third in what we believe to be related incidents over the past 10 days,” Austin police Chief Brian Manley said during the second of two news conferences he held near each of Monday’s explosion sites.

At first Manley suggested that the blasts could constitute a hate crime, but later amended that to say authorities had not settled on a motive since the intended targets weren’t clear because multiple people live in the homes where explosives were placed. He also said they may possibly have been left at the wrong addresses.

“We are not ruling anything out at this point,” Manley said.

Investigators refused to provide many details about how the explosives were packaged, citing the ongoing investigation.

But Manley described them as “not particularly large.” In all three cases, he said, the packages did not appear to have gone through the U.S. Postal Service or private carriers, but were left on doorsteps without knocking or ringing doorbells.

In a tweet, organizers of South By Southwest said they were “heartbroken by the explosions” and urged visitors to stay safe. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott offered a $15,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.

Manley told festival-goers, “There’s no reason to believe that you are at any greater risk.” But he added that they should “be aware” and “look for things that are suspicious.”

Four years ago, a driver plowed through a barricade and into a crowded street of South By Southwest revelers, killing four people and injuring many

others. Extra security measures were taken, including additional policing, tougher security checks and brighter street lighting.

Keith Reynolds lives near the site of Monday’s second blast and said he heard what sounded like a propane explosion.

He rushed outside and saw a cloud of hazy smoke and people running to help.

“There was a horrible screaming. You knew that something terrible was happening,” Reynolds said, adding that the victim’s body was riddled with holes as emergency responders took her out of the house.

There was nothing obvious linking the three areas where the bombs exploded, other than all were east of Interstate 35 that divides the city. The east side has historically been more heavily minority and less wealthy than Austin’s west side, although that has changed as gentrification has raised home prices and rents everywhere. It is also less true on the city’s northern outskirts, closer to where the first explosion occurred and where major firms like Dell, Apple and Samsung have sprawling complexes.

Monday’s first blast happened in Springdale Hills, a leafy neighborhood of houses mostly from the 1960s and 1970s. That was about 12 miles (20 kilometers) south of the home where the March 2 package bombing occurred. Monday’s second explosion, meanwhile, occurred about 5 miles (8 kilometers) south of the day’s first blast.

“It’s just a regular family neighborhood,” Reynolds said.

“It’s just a grandmother, you know what I mean? Like, why?”

From his house at the end of the same street, 77-year-old retiree Gilbert Rendon heard the boom of Monday’s second blast and then saw a crush of scared people running his way — barefoot neighbors, some carrying babies with dogs chasing behind.

“They’re saying, ‘Somebody put a bomb! Somebody put a bomb!” Rendon said.

FBI teams are investigating along with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

Manley said anyone receiving a package they don’t recognize should call 911. “Under no circumstances should you touch them, move them or handle them in any way,” he said.

More Than Two Dozen Members of ‘Murdaland Mafia’ Charged

By Sean Yoes Baltimore AFRO Editor syoes@afro.com

The alleged leader of a Baltimore area drug gang, along with a dozen of its members, have pleaded guilty to racketeering (photo: Twitter) and various other Members of “Murdaland Mafia Piru,” charges. including Dante Bailey, 37, (center) aka Takuma Tate, “Gutta,” or “Almighty.”

39, of Baltimore pleaded guilty March 13, “to participating in a racketeering enterprise known as Murdaland Mafia Piru (MMP) and conspiracy to distribute controlled substances,” stated the office of Acting U.S. Attorney Stephen Schenning.

According to the U.S. Attorney, Tate, aka, “Oop” or “Ook,” was one of 26 alleged MMP members charged in the case, 13 have already pleaded guilty to their part in the racketeering conspiracy.

According to court documents, MMP is a subset of the Bloods gang, structured similarly to the Italian Mafia, which controlled large segments of the drug trade in Northwest Baltimore City and parts of Baltimore County.

“Members and associates of MMP operated street-level drug distribution “shops” in various locations in Baltimore City and distributed heroin, cocaine, crack cocaine, fentanyl, and marijuana, among other controlled substances,” according to the U.S. Attorney’s statement.

“The gang’s drug shop in the 5200 block of Windsor Mill Road was particularly lucrative due to its close proximity to Interstate 70 and frequently attracted drug customers driving from Western Maryland and neighboring states.”

All but one (Dwight Jenkins, aka “Huggie” or “Unc,” age 48) of the dozens of defendants charged are in their 20’s or 30’s. According to court documents, alleged gang members engaged in organized criminal activity from at least 2011 to 2017.

According to the U.S. Attorney’s office, Tate will be sentenced to 10 years in prison, with five years of supervised release, pending the Court’s approval.

U.S. District Court Judge Catherine C. Blake has scheduled sentencing for June 19, 2018, at 9:15 a.m.

The Afro-American, March 17, 2018 - March 17, 2018

Trump Blames Continued from A1 the Trump administration is arguing the reining in of disciplinary efforts could let a murderer slip through the proverbial cracks.

This week the president drew the connection between the disciplinary plan protecting minority students when he announced that Education Secretary Betsy DeVos will lead a school safety commission that will examine the “repeal of the Obama administration’s ‘Rethink School Discipline’ policies.”

Civil rights activists are not surprised by Trump’s deflection about mass shootings and the national gun debate.

“Yet again, the Trump administration, faced with a domestic crisis, has responded by creating a commission to study an unrelated issue in order to ultimately advance a discriminatory and partisan goal,” Sherrilyn Ifill, president and director-counsel at NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund Inc., told the {The New York Times}.

Since Rethink School Discipline was proposed it has been a major topic of controversy among lawmakers, citizens, and those who work in education.

As racial bias was well documented in school suspensions and expulsions, the Obama-era policy gained a lot of support from civil rights activists, concerned parents and citizens, and teachers and administrators who have seen firsthand the harm that comes with the discrimination of removing minority students out of the classroom.

Yet conservatives are convinced Rethink School Discipline is putting students in more danger.

“Evidence is mounting that efforts to fight the school-to-prison pipeline is creating a school climate catastrophe and has if anything

put at-risk students at greater risk,” said Max Eden, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, told (The New York Times}. Eden argues teacher bias had nothing to do with school discipline.

When Obama first issued Rethink School Discipline, federal data reported that Black students without disabilities were more than three times as likely as their white counterparts to be expelled or suspended. Further, the report found that Hispanics and African Americans accounted for 50 percent of students who were involved in school-related arrests or referred to law enforcement.

Moreover, since Obama’s initial investigation, DeVos’ own administration has continued to uncover racial disparities, such as in November when the Education Department found that a California school was doling out harsher treatment to Native American students than their white associates.

In the case of Parkland shooter, Nikolas Cruz, while it is known that he was repeatedly kicked out of class and eventually expelled, it is unclear if he was ever actually referred to law enforcement because of his behavior in school. Nonetheless, the police knew about Cruz and never arrested him, and a report about his worrisome behavior given to the F.B.I. was overlooked.

While Marco Rubio said the school district’s disciplinary policies was the reason for Cruz’s rampage, Robert Runcie, Broward County superintendent, said that connection was imprudent.

“We’re not going to dismantle a program that’s been successful in the district because of false information that someone has put out there,” Runcie wrote on Twitter. “We will neither manage nor lead by rumors.”

Mo’Nique Continued from A1 Schumer for her work, or Black, male comedians Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle for his.

The move started a debate: was Mo’Nique really deserving of the cash she was asking for? Is it smart for her to be this vocal? Isn’t there a better way to resolve the issue? Charlamagne was one of her detractors, and had named her Donkey of the Day for the move (a designation he gives people he thinks have behaved inappropriately or foolishly). That’s why Mo’Nique was on the show.

She explained more about that moment speaking over the phone last week.

regret what she’s doing.

“For me, everything in my body says this is what you’re supposed to be doing,” she told the AFRO. “There are people saying ‘oh, I’m nervous for Mo’Nique. You know, what if this blackballs her even more?’ And what I say to people: I sleep really good at night,” she said. “And I have a great time with my family because I’m not fearful.”

She said she feels it’s important to be this vocal because the situation is serious. It won’t change otherwise.

“There are some people that said ‘I understand

“For me, everything in my body says this is what you’re supposed to be doing.”

–Mo’Nique “I know what it is to be protected by our Black men because I have one. And I was sitting there watching that young brother do the work of ‘I will belittle, demean, degrade. I will do the work of the master,’ she said. “I’ve watched other interviews he’s had with sisters – Nicki Minaj, Little Kim and you watch this brother have a devaluing of his sisters.”

She’s also had some very public pushback from Whoopi Goldberg on the ABC daytime talk show “The View,” who told Mo’Nique that she was being unprofessional.

Mo’Nique said she doesn’t

She said that she’s not just doing this for her, though.

She hopes that her fight now makes it easier for future generations.

She also has nothing but encouragement for comedian Tiffany Haddish, who recently announced her own deal with Netflix (she didn’t disclose how much she was being paid).

“People were making comments to her about it and it’s like wait a minute ya’ll.

About halfway through the conversation, Mo’Nique was joined by her husband Sidney Hicks, another Randallstown native who has known her since they were both kids.

Some have taken issue with the very vocal and visible role Hicks plays in Mo’Nique’s career, he’s her manager but he also usually accompanies her on interviews with the media. The two also have a podcast together, called Mo’Nique and Sidney’s Open Relationship.

They are partners, they told me, and this is the way they want it.

“If you notice, Mo’Nique communicates in her way and I communicate in my way,” Hicks said. “So what happens is, my job is to set it up and her job is to knock ‘em down and that’s what we do as a team.”

The two also have some thoughts about Rachel Dolezal, the white woman who gained notoriety for living for a stretch of time as a Black woman, and who will also soon have a documentary on Netflix.

“Well, I am going to become a white woman and then see what kind of deal that I’ll get,” she said after a pause and with a chuckle.

“And what we said the other day on our podcast is simply put,” Hicks added.

“What she found out [is], it’s better to play a Black woman than to be a Black woman. Or should I say more profitable.”

CBC Probe into NCAA is Cautiously Supported

By James Wright Special to the AFRO jwright@afro.com While sports professionals are happy to see that the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) will set up a task force to consider illegal payments of student-athletes at NCAA schools, they hope that something substantive will come from the effort.

“I hope that this is not a dog-and-pony show,” said Marvin Tucker Sr., the executive director of the District of Columbia-based OCASE Foundation which helps young people appreciate the value of athletics and academics through various programs.

On March 8, the CBC announced it is launching an NCAA task force that will be led by U.S. Rep. Cedric Richmond (D-La.), the chairman of the organization, “in light of recent reports” about NCAA rule violations regarding the payment of student-athletes.

“The purpose of this task force is to assess the treatment of student-athletes, including the extent to which they are able to get a college education, and the money that influences college sports, including the revenue that is generated by the student-athletes themselves,” Richmond said in a statement. “In the coming weeks, the CBC will engage college players, coaches and administrators, as well as leaders at the NCAA to determine what if anything needs to be done at the federal level to ensure

student-athletes are getting what they’re is when certain people, like runners (front giving to our most prestigious colleges and men) for sports agents, agents themselves, universities.” and boosters of the institutions, give athletes The CBC is basing its contentions on a money or gifts in violation of NCAA based Feb. 23 article on Yahoo on being benevolent or Sports that detailed helping a young person. the “loan” payments to Archie Beslow is the college athletes that are in head junior varsity football violation of NCAA rules. coach at Archbishop University and college Carroll High School in the athletes are forbidden to District of Columbia.

This they aren’t changed.”

When asked whether student-athletes should be paid in addition to their scholarship, Beslow said yes. “I think they should be paid,” he said. “These young people generate a lot of money for these colleges and often have nothing to show for it.”

Tucker hopes that the CBC NCAA task force is beneficial for student-athletes. “We have had round tables and discussions about the problems that Black student-athletes have and what has happened and from my viewpoint, not much,” he said.

Tucker said the CBC should focus on student-athletes who often don’t get to go to the professional level and leave college without a degree and little education. “They aren’t marketable and they have to go to work at K-Mart at the cashier level,” he said. “That’s not right.”

Tucker said it costs about $42,000 a year to attend the University of Maryland, College Park and that’s hard for a college student to pay. “A typical D.C. resident cannot pay that and neither can most Marylanders,” he said. “If not for the athletic scholarship, they would have to take out student loans and they will leave college in debt with or without a degree.”

Tucker said the CBC should not solely have college presidents, elite athletic directors and athletes to testify before it. “They need to have the parents of these student-athletes to testify also,” he said.

Harriot Continued from A1 one day, but also changing the very heart of space exploration— something she didn’t even know she could do all those years ago.

“This is my favorite story,” Harriot told the AFRO, “When I was in the fourth grade, I decided that I wanted to be a pediatric cardiovascular surgeon and an astronaut. And my dad saw my passion and told me that I could probably study how the heart changes in outer space. At the time, that didn’t sound like a real thing. But lo and behold, here I am all these years later and that is essentially what I do.”

Harriot is a Biochemistry and Molecular Biology PHD student and her research deals with something called mechanotransduction.

Essentially, it’s the research of how the lack of gravity during space missions affects astronauts’ muscle and bone cell function. Simply put, she works to create therapies to protect astronauts from losing muscle mass and bone mass in outer space.

Currently, the main way that astronauts keep from developing degenerative diseases like osteoporosis is to keep up a lot of exercise in space. This requires them to spend hours a day staying active,

“I think I should get my driver’s license first,” she said laughing, “That might help.”

“There are a lot of young women of color that want to be in STEM, but they don’t see it as a place for them. So showing that it is, is what’s most important to me.”

Often times, when astronauts return to Earth, their road to recovery is still long and arduous.

With the right therapies put in place to protect astronauts, though, Harriot thinks that they could see increased efficiency in the work that they’re able to do in space. That means there could be an increased potential for sending people to Mars

and other deep space travel missions in the future.

“I think my work is the first step in realizing that greater potential,” Harriot said, “and it also increases the number and duration of space missions that one individual can do in their lifetime.”

Harriot’s academic career began at Poolesville High School’s Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) program. Located in Montgomery County in Maryland, it’s one of the top programs in the country. After graduation, she was accepted to Regent University where she earned her undergraduate degree in Biophysical Sciences in just three years. Then, just six weeks later, she was starting her PhD program at the University of Maryland.

Since 2016, she’s been named one of Mortherboard VICE’s “Humans of the Year”, been featured as a speaker at the Congressional Black Caucus in 2016 as part of the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for AfricanAmericans, and she’s appeared in classrooms all across the country because of that viral video where she calculated the angle of her “dab,” a popular dance move.

At first, she just thought it would be funny meshing science and dance, but she was surprised that it became a way for teachers to get their students actively involved in math lessons. For students to reach out to her and say they were excited about seeing her video in their classrooms was inspiring. Since then, she’s become even more passionate about changing the way people portray the future of STEM. “When I talk about paving the way for others or being an example… I don’t mean to inspire young women to be interested in STEM. They already are,” she said, “there are a lot of young women of

When asked what advice she might give little girls aspiring to pursue careers in outer space, she said they can start now by getting to know what goes on underneath the hood of a car. It turns out, it may not be as different from a space vehicle as one might think and it can give you a leg-up when it comes time to apply for a spot in NASA’s space program.

Harriot’s ultimate goal is to become the first African-American woman to go to Mars. In fact, when she earned her undergraduate degree in 2017, she became eligible to apply to become an astronaut and a pilot.

There’s just one thing standing in

If her professional circle is any indication, she’ll be off to the red planet in no time. Right now, she has the full support of Jedidah Isler, the first African-American woman to get a PHD in Astro Physics from Yale.

Further, Harriot has recently formed a relationship with Margot Shetterly, author of the best-selling book Hidden Figures, which highlights Katherine Johnson’s breakthrough achievements within NASA. Shetterly told the AFRO, “Anicca is one of those exceptionally talented people who’s going to be running the world one day, sooner than later if we are lucky.”

To this, Harriot only laughed and whispered, “No pressure, right?”

Rapper/producer Sean “Diddy” Combs watches the second half of the NBA All-Star basketball game, Sunday, Feb. 18, 2018, in Los Angeles. He is in the running to be a partner in purchasing the Carolina Panthers

Diddy Back In the Running to Buy the Panthers

By Perry Green AFRO Sports Editor Sean “Diddy” Combs may be back in the running as a potential buyer of the NFL’s Carolina Panthers, only this time as a potential minority owner, not as the principal owner.

According to ESPN’s David Newton, billionaire businessman Michael Rubin has been putting together a diverse business group to purchase the Panthers, and he’s in the process of getting Combs to join as one of the group’s members.

Diddy first expressed his desire to buy the Panthers after principal owner Jerry Richardson announced back in December 2017 that he would be selling the team in the midst of a sexual misconduct scandal.

Diddy received tons of public support from wealthy, high profiled figures, including NBA star Steph Curry, who

reportedly is also in the process of joining Rubin’s group.

Neither Combs nor Curry have the wealth to purchase the Panthers as principal owners; the Panthers were valued at $2.3 billion by Forbes, while Diddy’s net worth is estimated at roughly $825 million. But with Rubin leading the group, they actually have a chance. As the owner of Fanatics, the world’s leading online seller of licensed sports merchandise, Rubin’s net worth is valued at $3 billion, according to Forbes. He’s also already a co-owner of the NBA’s Philadelphia 76ers.

According to ESPN, Rubin’s name began to surface as a serious potential buyer this Sunday; other serious potential buyers reported include billionaires David Tepper and Ben Navarro.

ESPN reported that the Panthers expect official bids for the team to start coming in throughout the month of March, but the league probably won’t approve any potential buyer until the next owners meeting, scheduled in May.

She has held teaching and administrative roles at Arkansas State University, Indiana University, and the University of Northern Iowa, where she temporarily took on the role of president in 2011. She has held the position of Morgan State’s provost since 2015. David Wilson, president of Morgan, tells the AFRO he is confident that Gibson will do exceedingly well.

“Dr. Gibson has been an invaluable addition to our leadership at Morgan. In her three years as provost, she provided the leadership to reform our tenure and promotion policies and to put in place numerous online degree programs,” Wilson said, “While we will miss her at Morgan, I am extremely happy that she is getting an opportunity to provide leadership at a higher level and know that she will be successful in this new role.”

Northeastern’s board of trustees will vote on Gibson’s contract in the coming weeks. Gibson’s predecessor and interim president, Richard J. Helldobler, is set to become president of William Paterson University in New Jersey upon his departure.

Gibson’s three contenders for the role included Sukhwant Jahj, vice provost for academic innovation and student success at Portland State University in Oregon; Carlos Medina, vice chancellor and chief diversity officer at State University of New York; and Maria Guarjardo, deputy vice president at Soka University in Tokyo.

Ice Cube’s BIG3 League Fires Roger Mason for Allegedly Pocketing Money, But Mason Claims League is Racist

By Perry Green AFRO Sports Editor Ice Cube will reportedly take over as commissioner of his own BIG3 basketball league after details surfaced of the former commissioner allegedly pocketing money.

According to TMZ Sports, former Washington Wizards guard Roger Mason, Jr. was recently fired as BIG3 Commissioner for his ties and loyalty to investors who apparently were paying Mason money without meeting their full financial obligations to the league.

But Mason fired back at the BIG3, denying the league’s allegations. According to TMZ Sports, Mason said BIG3 co-founder Jeff Kwatinez is the real reason behind his termination. “[Kwatinez] made countless unfounded attacks on my integrity, character, and leadership,” Mason told TMZ. “The work environment at BIG3 has been hostile and racist resulting in the departure of valuable League personnel. Among other matters, a former employee of BIG3 recently told me that Kwatinetz has repeatedly referred to Black athletes as ‘rich n**gers.’”

Rapper Meek Mill may be released from jail because a police offer allegedly lied during a 2008 trial.

Philadelphia rapper Meek Mill, who has remained jailed on a weapons and drugs conviction, may be released from jail soon, because a police officer lied during Mill’s 2008 trial, according to the Philadelphia District Attorney’s office.

Mill has been in jail or under house arrest for more than two years due mainly to probation violations, but according to a report by TMZ, the Philadelphia District Attorney’s office said there is, “a strong

showing of likelihood,” Mill’s conviction will be reversed because of a police corruption scandal in Philadelphia, which has already caused hundreds of other convictions to be overturned.

The rapper’s attorneys have been attempting to have him released on bail since last fall, but on March 14 the District Attorney’s office said it would not oppose Mill’s release. Mill’s mother, Kathy Williams told TMZ, “I would like to thank the Philadelphia District Attorney’s office for carefully evaluating my son’s (whose real name is Robert Rihmeek Williams), matter and not opposing the request for bail.”

COMMENTARY

What Kind of Nation Have We Become When We Fail to Protect Our Children?

In the wake of yet another mass slaughter of innocent Americans, I am writing to implore my colleagues in both the Congress and our state legislatures to go to CNN’s website and listen carefully to the words of a young American named Cameron Kasky. You can find his declaration of principle and truth on CNN.com.

This 17-year-old student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, is demonstrating more courage, moral clarity and determination about the danger of unregulated guns in America (and, especially, the danger to us all of high-powered, military grade, semi-automatic weapons) than are many of the women and men with whom I serve.

As most Americans now know, on February 14 (Valentine’s Day), Cameron Kasky, his brother, Holden, and all of the students and teachers at their Parkland, FL, high school were forced to fear for their lives.

A deranged person had picked up a lawfully purchased AR-15, took it to the school, and methodically murdered 17 people, injuring another 14.

We also know that, in the era after the Columbine massacre of 1999 (13 dead and 24 injured), mass slaughters with semi-automatic weapons have become a harsh, terrifying and unacceptable reality of American life.

Just as we must redouble our efforts to reduce the violence in places like Chicago and Baltimore, we cannot – and we must not – forget the sense of loss and personal devastation that we felt after Virginia Tech (32 dead). We cannot brush aside the primitive brutality of Binghamton, NY (14 dead), or Aurora, CO (12 dead), or Sandy Hook (the lives of 27 children and teachers methodically destroyed).

We must act. Our national conscience and sense of security and self-worth cannot withstand any more breaking headlines – any more mass killings in San Bernadino, CA (14 killed), Orlando, FL (49 massacred), Las Vegas, NV (58 killed and 546 injured), or Texas (26 killed).

Now, if you think that this partial listing of the butcher’s bill from our failure to adequately regulate semi-automatic weapons of war is incomplete, you are correct. There is insufficient room in this newspaper to adequately remember all of the casualties from the gun violence that our nation has endured.

What should be heartening to us, however, is the determination and clarity that Cameron Kasky and young people across America are expressing in their challenge to their elected representatives, their governors and the President of the United States.

“At the end of the day,” Cameron observed in his CNN interview, “the students at my school felt one shared experience – our politicians abandoned us by failing to keep guns out of schools….”

“Our community just took 17 bullets to the heart,” he continued, “and it feels like the only people who don’t care are the people who are making the laws.”

I must agree.

There is no period of silence, no equivocating delay, no overreaching argument about the constitutional sanctity of our Second Amendment that is adequate to counterman a simple, compelling and unavoidable truth.

Cameron Kasky is speaking truth to power when he declares that, as a nation, we are failing to protect our people from this carnage. Most unforgivable of all, we are failing to protect the lives of our school children.

Every last elected official in America, and every last citizen who voted for us (or failed to vote at all), bears a measure of responsibility for this failure and its bloody toll on human lives. Yet, as Cameron Kasky also acknowledges, we are not all equally culpable.

“The truth,” he observed, “is that the politicians on both sides of the aisle are to blame. The Republicans, generally speaking, take large donations from the NRA and are therefore beholden to their cruel agenda. And the Democrats lack the organization and the votes to do anything about it.”

We, who have been elected to serve and protect our Constitution and the American People, can only stand before this challenge, acknowledge our failures and seek to reclaim our honor.

As a first honest step, we can acknowledge that before the federal assault weapons ban expired, it did not stop all killings, but it did significantly reduce the carnage. We who serve in the Congress have the power, right now, to renew those protections.

The proposed Assault Weapons Ban of 2018 [H.R. 5087], sponsored by my colleague, Rep. David

Elijah Cummings

Cicilline of Rhode Island, now has more than 173 co-sponsors. Senator Diane Feinstein’s companion bill [S.2095] has 29. I, along with all of Maryland’s Democratic Delegation, am fighting for its passage.

However, in proof of Cameron Kasky’s indictment, there are no Republicans in support of these modest, protective measures, only a few Republicans support strengthened background checks, and a Republican House and Senate leadership, beholden to the NRA, is denying us the ability to even have a floor debate and up-or-down vote.

Nevertheless, I am cautiously optimistic that the will of the American People will prevail. A recent Quinnipiac opinion poll found that 67 percent of Americans (including 43 percent of Republicans) now favor an assault weapons ban. Even more encouraging, the young people of our nation (along with many of us who are older) are mobilizing.

This growing movement for greater safety, security and sanity in our national discussion about guns – this March for Our Lives – will be bringing upwards of 500,000 Americans to Washington, DC, on March 24th – with companion marches across the nation, including here in Baltimore. For more information, go to https://marchforourlives.com/ on your Web browser.

Even if you can’t march on the 24th, please remember this. Our Constitution (including its Second Amendment) was not designed to be a collective suicide pact. It was designed to protect the safety, as well as the liberty, of the American People.

Above all else, and whatever political obstacles may be placed in our path, we must protect our nation’s children. Our sacred oaths and honor demand that – and more.

Congressman Elijah Cummings represents Maryland’s 7th Congressional District in the United States House of Representatives.

Trump’s Racism is the Key to Evangelical Support In the many months since the release of the infamous Access Hollywood tapes, Donald Trump’s character has been called in question several times. He has been accused of sexually assaulting or harassing 19 different women. He is said to have referred to African nations and Haiti as “sh*thole countries” in a meeting with members of congress. Most recently, he is alleged to have had an extra marital affair with a pornographic actress by the name of Stormy Daniels the same year his wife Melania gave birth to their son. Despite his lapses in judgement, incivility, and lack of decorum which emanates from his incessant juvenile tweeting, some of his strongest support comes from white evangelicals.

Ironically, in 2011 two-thirds of evangelicals believed that a politician must display ethical behavior in both their private and public lives. However the rules seem not to apply to Donald Trump, who has been divorced twice and has children by three different women (if he were Black, they would be referred to a “baby mamas”). 81% of self-proclaimed evangelicals cast their ballots for Donald Trump in 2016. Pastor Robert Jeffress said the allegations by Daniels are “totally irrelevant” because evangelicals knew they weren’t voting for an “altar boy”. However, they had a near altar boy in the previous president. He was a regular church attendee and by all accounts a devoted husband and father. However, he was maligned at every turn and incredibly unpopular among white evangelical Christians. Only 24% of white evangelicals approved of him by the end of his second term. Obama was even said to be a Muslim, despite it being common knowledge that he consistently sat in the pews of Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s church in Chicago years prior to running for the presidency.

Instead, they support the foul-mouthed, moderately successful businessman and reality television star who referred to Nazi protesters as good people, while calling Black NFL football players “sons of b*tches”.

Black Christians have tried to integrate into white evangelical churches because of their supposed shared love for God and his word.

For many Black Christians, it was a fundamental completion of Dr. King’s dream, where Americans of all ethnicities could worship under the same God under the same roof since they allegedly share the same values. However, recently the New York Times cites a mass “exodus” of Black worshipers away from those churches. The Times cites Trump being the catalyst, but he is only a symptom. Black worshipers realize that white nationalism stands firmly alongside the religious doctrine for evangelicals. The argument for Family Values was conveniently utilized to shame Black single parent households, quash gay civil and human rights, and reverse the gains of second wave feminism in the employment realm.

Jerry Falwell Sr., founder of the Moral Majority and perhaps the best known preacher from the evangelical movement of the 80s, questioned Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “sincerity” and founded the Lynchburg Christian Academy as a segregated private school for white children. He spoke against the landmark Brown vs Board of Education decision that desegregated schools, stating that when “God has drawn a line of distinction, we should not attempt to cross that line.” He opposed divestment in South Africa’s oppressive Apartheid regime.

While abortion became one of the religious right’s bedrock issues and is said to be the reason for some of their loyalty to Trump, evangelicals were initially silent after the Roe v. Wade decision in

1973. Abortion was primarily seen as a Catholic issue and therefore out of the purview of the evangelicals.

Falwell’s son, Jerry Falwell Jr. is the current president of Liberty University and an ardent Trump supporter. He speaks in the same spirit as his father, mixing his religious fervor with white nationalism.

Falwell echoed Trump’s claim that Nazi protesters and sympathizers were no more to blame for the unrest in Charlottesville, VA than the noble counter-protesters like Heather Heyer who was killed during the upheaval.

Many writers have asked where the outrage is for Trump’s moral failings. If one understands the history and leadership of (white) evangelicals, one would recognize that racism is a powerful and fundamental element of their identity. Family values was a smokescreen to reclaim the moral high ground they had lost during the Civil Rights movement. The tradition they really wanted was Falwell Sr.’s idea of a return to segregation, the eradication of women from the work place, and the invisibility of LGBTQ people. Those reasons are why they fell in love with the slogan “Make America Great Again”, just as they had when Reagan stated it first as part of his Southern Strategy. It is Trump’s racism that has led to him being praised and defended. President Trump is correct, as long as he continues to target African Americans, Mexican/Mexican Americans, Muslims, immigrants from Black and Brown countries, and Native Americans, he could indeed “stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody” and still get evangelical support.

Discover the Power of Unplugging Technology has been one of my BFFs ever since I discovered its power when I logged in to the LexisNexis research service as a first-year law student at Howard University School of Law in 1986. Fast forward three decades later, my relationship with technology has blossomed into a full-blown love affair in my digital communications career as a consultant and Chief Social Media Officer for a nonprofit organization. Most days are filled with tons of screen time reading and writing email and texts, creating content on social media, and completing my online mindfulness course work.

In all of my efforts, I do my best to use my training as a mindfulness teacher to practice self-care and use healthy boundaries in how much time I spend online. However, there are times when I become off-balance. That’s exactly what happened in January and February. I became one of the four out of five adults in the U.S. (86 percent) who constantly or often check their email, texts, and social media accounts according to the American Psychological Association’s (APA) 2017 Stress in America: Coping with Change report.

In early March, I noticed my eyes were beginning to hurt from too much screen time. That realization caused me to look at the actual number of hours I spend using my smartphone, tablet, and laptop to access the Internet. I discovered that after I completed my eight-hour work day, I spent an average of three to four more hours online. That was too much for me. Thus, I decided to participate in the National Day of Unplugging, an annual 24-hour digital detox from technology that began at sundown on March 9 and ended at sundown on March 10. The Sabbath Manifesto, a creative project designed to slow down lives in an increasingly hectic world, created the annual event to highlight the value of disconnecting from your digital devices and connecting with yourself, your loved ones, and your communities in real time.

Here’s how I spent National Day of Unplugging. I left my home of digital distractions in D.C. and spent the night with my parents in the suburbs of Odenton, Maryland. The only device I brought with me was my smartphone and it was turned off as soon as I entered their home. We spent the evening having great conversations about the latest episode of Scandal, basketball teams playing in March Madness tournaments, gospel music, and our weekly activities.

The next morning I woke up without my phone alarm. My dad and I headed to his gym for a morning workout. After my workout, I sat in the lounge area reading Mindful Magazine. When we returned home, we made breakfast and had a conversation about local and national news. Later in the day, my parents and I went to see Ava DuVernay’s new movie, ‘A Wrinkle in Time.’ At dinner, we discussed what we liked about the movie. Later that evening, I returned to my bustling U Street neighborhood. As I walked slowly down the street from the metro station, I took in all of the sights and sounds. I noticed I wasn’t rushing. I felt more present to what was happening around me.

The biggest lessons I learned during National Day of Unplugging include: 1) I need more days filled with quiet time and quality time with my loved ones; 2) sleeping with my phone turned off or on mute in another room helps me rest better; and 3) using one day a week to disconnect from my digital devices helps me to be more present in my life.

Local NAACP Plans to be Active in 2018 Election Cycle

Councilmember Trayon White Protests Development Project in Southeast

By James Wright Special to the AFRO jwright@afro.com The District of Columbia branch of the NAACP has active plans this election season to make sure that people of color are involved in the political process.

Doug Sloan, who serves as the chairman of the D.C. NAACP’s political action, is a noted commentator on District and national politics and has served as an advisory neighborhood commissioner in Ward 4, is leading the charge in getting D.C. residents politically active.

By Hamzat Sani Special to the AFRO The District of Columbia Infrastructure Academy (DCIA) officially opened on March 13 in Southeast, D.C. A partnership between the District government and private sector, the DC Infrastructure Academy will provide specialized training and workforce development programming for jobs in the growing infrastructure sector here in the nation’s capital.

Contentions flare throughout Ward 8 in D.C., as Councilmember Trayon White (D) demands equal opportunity employment for all residents.

Leading day long protests on March 8 and 9, on 2300 Martin Luther King, Ave. SE, the D.C. native called for construction company Bozzuto and Chapman, who are currently developing the Maple View Flats, to hire and use the highly skilled workers already living inside of Ward 8. Maple View Flats development is a $50 million project expected to feature 114 affordable housing units, retail and parking along the same avenue “They are not hiring locally and that’s a problem for me,” White said. “There are over five construction companies in Ward 8. There are hundreds of skilled workers. We are spending millions as a government to support development on these projects and it needs to be done in an equitable way. We have capable businesses and construction companies in Ward 8, but somehow we see people from Maryland and Virginia every day.”

Acquired by Chapman Development in 2012 for only $1.00, under ambiguous terms as reiterated by White, the acquisition

of lands and controversial hiring processes has begun to surface, revealing unfair and unethical malpractices by Bozzuto and Chapman, in the once coined “Chocolate City.”

“Most of the contractors in general on this deal are not from D.C.,” White said. “And for the few that are, often times when these large companies do business with the smaller companies, they find a way to pay the workers late if at all... It’s stealing point blank.”

For over 3 months, White said he requested information from Bozzuto and Chapman, concerning development. While he was eventually able to secure a meeting with developer, Tim Chapman, in which he requested a list of Ward 8 employees and subcontractors working on the development project, there was still –Trayon White some unfinished business left.

White said that Chapman provided a list of 60 people, who were contacted by the Council member’s administration, however only three of the 60 people on the list were confirmed as actual employees. The remaining 57 contacts on the list reportedly denied having any employment status on the project at all and White says that when he brought the findings to Chapman, he agreed to an additional meeting that ended up being canceled.

Olympic Athlete Holds FirstEver Track and Field Clinic

By Daniel Kucin Jr. Special to the AFRO

Former track star Ato Boldon didn’t always have all the confidence in the world before he represented Trinidad and Tobago in the Olympics. The four-time Olympian admitted to using several then-unorthodox training techniques such as plyometrics and recovery

practices that propelled him to the next level despite what everyone else told him to do.

As his confidence grew in his craft, so did the results which led him to teaching young student-athletes how to become championship level athletes. After retiring, Boldon wanted to give back his wealth of knowledge as a sprinter to coach the youth how to be the best that they

can be.

Boldon held the firstever DCIAA track and field clinic at Prince George’s Sports & Learning Complex on March 7, teaching 200 student-athletes and high school coaches the skills and strategies he used to be one of the greatest sprinters in the world.

DCPS Plans to Take Over All-Girls Charter School in Southeast

By Micha Green AFRO Washington, D.C. Editor Mgreen@afro.com Amid their own issues and reporting scandals, the traditional District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) system has decided it is best to take over an all-girls charter school in Southeast, Washington, D.C., Excel Academy Public Charter School, which had their license taken for poor performance, according to the Washington Post.

Last school year only 9 percent of Excel students met or exceeded expectations in math, compared with 27 percent citywide. Compared with 31 percent citywide, 19 percent of Excel students met or exceeded expectations in English.

With 700 students from preschool to eighth grade, Excel will finish this semester as a charter school, and reopen in the fall as a DCPS. All current students will be welcomed back to re-enroll in the newly coined public school, yet it is unclear how many teachers and administrators will remain and be affected by the transition.

The decision for Excel to become a DCPS comes after the D.C. Public Charter School Board voted in January to strip the institution of its charters, because students were reportedly behind their peers without the school showing impressive evidence of improvement. After the January decision, the school’s leaders had to find a new operator in order to keep Excel open and operational as an institution.

Interim DCPS Chancellor, Amanda Alexander, expressed excitement about Excel joining the public school system.

“We are thrilled that Excel is joining the DCPS community,” Alexander wrote in an email to the Post. “We’re working

diligently to ensure the students that will be able to remain in issue with Excel becoming a DCPS, saying the school system place for at least the next school year.” is violating federal and city laws by having a same-sex public Although a rare occurrence, it is not institution. uncustomary for DCPS to take over for DCPS opened its first all-male public school, charter schools, as in the case with Ron Brown College Preparatory High School Petworth’s Community Academy in 2016, causing uproar from the ACLU.

Continued from B1 voter registration drive in early June and the primary is June 19. We are also working with the D.C. Board of Elections in their adopt-aprecinct program.

“This program will help residents become more informed about voting in the primary in their neighborhoods. We will pass out voter information such as polling places and requirements to cast a ballot as a part of the program.”

Beyond the District’s election, Sloan said the branch’s reach will extend outside of D.C. “We are also working with branches in Pennsylvania and Ohio to make sure that they

“We want to be sure that people of color aren’t ignored in this city.”

–Doug Sloan get people of color in those states to the polls,” he said. “We are a non-partisan organization.

We can get you to the polls but we can’t tell you who to vote for.”

Sloan said in the fall, in preparation for the November 6 general election, volunteers from the District branch will travel to those two targeted states where he said the AfricanAmerican vote is often the deciding factor in who gets elected to public office.

“We want to make sure that we educate people about the political process.”

One of the reasons that the District branch has the ability to help out in other

states is because the District is considered a one-party city, Democratic. The D.C. Board of Elections reports that as of Feb. 28, 76.07 percent of District voters are Democrats, with Non-Party (Independent) as 16.46 percent and Republicans at 6.17 percent.

Since the advent of Home Rule that was instituted by the U.S. Congress and signed into law by President Richard Nixon in 1973, all of the city’s mayors and D.C. Council chairs have been Democrats and the overwhelming majority of council members have been Democrats. District residents have been able to vote for president since 1964 and the city has overwhelmingly supported the Democratic Party candidate.

Sloan said “I am fully aware that Washington, D.C. is a one-party town.”

However, his concerns are about how that affects the District’s African American population.

“Even though Blacks are still the majority of the population, we don’t have the highest voter registration in the city,” he said. He mentioned that African Americans still lag Whites in terms of income disparity, health

outcomes and employment and those issues can be addressed through the political process.

“In this city, it comes down to who votes,” Sloan said.

Stanley Mayes is a Ward 1 resident and a member of the D.C. Democratic State Committee and is blunt about why Blacks should vote even though the District is a solid Democratic jurisdiction.

“It depends on what type of Democrat wins in this city,” Mayes told the AFRO. “Sometimes the wrong Democrats win in this city. We need Democrats on the D.C. Council that are concerned about issues affecting Black people in the city and not on the council just for the prestige.”

Mayes supports what Sloan and the District branch wants to do but he urges them to be cautious.

“The NAACP is a non-partisan organization,” he said. “They have to make sure that when they go into other states, they are strictly engaging in registering people to vote and not trying to show a favorite party affiliation as an organization. They don’t want to get into a pickle on this.”

“It is an awesome experience for these kids to hear from an Olympic runner who has a wealth of experience to help perfect their techniques as runners.”

– Ronald Nelson eyed student-athletes about coaching Khalifa St. Fort in 2012 when he helped her win the silver medal at the 2015 World Youth Championships in Athletics and bronze in the relay at the 2015 World Championships in Athletics.

Ato Boldon, a former Olympic track star who represented Trinidad and Tobago, just opened clinic for budding athletes and coaches.

After delivering powerful motivational stories from his past experiences, Boldon got to work developing the minds and bodies of budding stars in the making. A bevy of Washington, D.C.-based high schools attended the event including Coolidge, Anacostia, Dunbar, Wilson, and Cardozo.

“Track is a foundation for every sport,” Coolidge Track and Field Head Coach Jé Sammy said. “For the last two or three years, we have had kids transition from other sports into track and field. This [clinic] provides an opportunity for them to be exposed to this sport. He [Boldon] is one of my fellow mentors from Trinidad. Him being here is a great thing to expose these kids to this sport.”

“It is an awesome experience for these kids to hear from an Olympic runner who has a wealth of experience to help perfect their techniques as runners,” Eastern Senior High School Head Coach Ronald Nelson said.

Nelson believes this clinic will be a stepping stone for track and field to become more prevalent in the District of Columbia and that it will hopefully grow in the future. “With this clinic, it will be a starting point to help our program to become bigger.

It will help our kids to know that they will receive some more attention.”

Authors Discuss New Book, Policing Black Bodies

about resistance to her writing or talking about Black policing issues.

“It hasn’t happened yet, but I fully expect push back from White people,” Hattery added. “The push back I expect from Black people is … ‘how could you write about something you haven’t lived?’”

Smith, who is African American, told the AFRO that

By Aya Elamroussi Special to the AFRO Surrounded by fully-stacked book shelves and coffee aroma at The Potter’s House in Northwest D.C., an engaged audience tuned in on Tuesday, March 13, to listen and discuss a difficult topic: the policing of African Americans.

Authors Angela J. Hattery and Earl Smith presented their book, Policing of Black Bodies: How Black Lives Are Surveilled and How to Work for Change, which was first released December of last year.

“Policing Black Bodies goes beyond chronicling isolated incidents of injustice to look at the broader systems of inequality in our society—” the front cover of the book reads, “how they’re structured, how they harm Black people, and how we can work for positive change.”

“It’s the summer of 2016, and we’re literally writing about the shooting of unarmed Black men,” Hattery told the AFRO. “And in that one week in July… Alton Sterling was murdered, and Philando Castile was murdered. It was all inside of a week.”

That was among one of the challenges of writing Policing Black Bodies, according to Hattery. “It’s a lot to hold. It was a very difficult book to write emotionally because it’s hard stuff.”

Hattery is a sociologist and serves as the Director of the Women & Gender Studies Program at George Mason University in Virginia. Smith is a Professor of Sociology and Director of the American Ethnic Studies Program at Wake Forest University in North Carolina. They have been colleagues for about 20 years and collaborated on multiple writing projects, including other books.

Declaring they wrote the book to “make people uncomfortable [and] to disrupt stereotypes about Black bodies,” Hattery and Smith credit the Black Lives Matter movement for bringing national attention to tensions between Black people and the police.

Policing Black Bodies then presents urban riots and protests as a “logical response” to police’s treatment of Black

The book then moves on to highlight mass incarceration, school-to-prison pipeline, the policing of trans and Black women’s bodies and the killing of unarmed Black men.

Smith and Hattery conclude Policing Black Bodies with a discussion of intersectionality, color-blind racism and a strong call to action.

Hattery, who is White, said that she has some concerns

supporting Hattery from a racial standpoint “isn’t an issue.”

“It’s the social support system to say, ‘You can write this,’” Smith said.

Smith said in addition to being confident, having a coauthor who is honest about feedback is critical to ensuring the collaboration works.

“When we speak in different places, somebody will say, ‘Well, as a White person, how can you be writing about this?”

Smith asked from Hattery’s point of view. “And the answer is because I can. I know this subject. I know this territory, and if they can’t handle that, that’s their problem,” Smith answered.

At the same time, Hattery said, “White people aren’t picking up a book called Policing Black Bodies.” In turn, some concern lies in how African Americans will receive the book.

“I’m always concerned that as a White person I’m not taking the microphone, that I am an ally—not the center of attention, that I am doing justice to the issue when it isn’t my lived experience,” Hattery said. “And I think that’s part of why the collaboration is critical.”

The newly minted DCIA building, which stands at 2330 Pomeroy Road SE, is a gateway to that economic stability. By targeting infrastructure workforce development, the academy seeks to arm D.C. residents with jobs in transportation, energy, utilities, and IT infrastructure—making them eligible for two million jobs nationally and 2,500-3,000 openings locally.

Mayor Muriel Bowser, who toured the facility after remarks, said DCIA is part of her “pathway to the middle class” for residents. The average hourly wage of jobs available to

–Trayon White academy graduates will be $48.75, nearly $10 more than the wages of high-earning utilities industry workers according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Central to the success of the academy will also be the public-private partnerships forged through its programming.

Odie Donald II, the outgoing Director of Department of Employment Services, noted DOES’ role in convening multiple partners on the project including Washington Gas, DC Water,

the University of the District of Columbia, WMATA and Pepco-Exelon.

Pepco gave the largest financial contribution to the academy’s $21 million dollar price tag with a $5 million contribution. Bill Von Hoene Jr. of Exelon and Dave Velazquez of Pepco Holdings both noted the importance of DCIA in providing a skilled workforce for their companies.

The academy’s primary funding was not without controversy. The $17 million set aside in the mayor’s budget for the projects was threatened by cuts from the D.C. council until Ward 8 councilmember Trayon White and At-Large Alissa Silverman worked with residents and stakeholders to bring funding back on track.

public persona.

As both writer and actor of the play, LaBrone trains his lens on Ture during his organizing of the 1966 March Against Fear honoring the attempted March of James Meredith. This period is critical as it is when Ture publicly feuds with the concept of nonviolence utilized by Dr. King and the SCLC while warming up to the Black Nationalist sentiments of the recently slain el-Hajj Malik elShabazz formerly known as Malcolm X. Alluding to the tensions inherent in Ture as a major player in Civil Rights, LaBrone characterizes him as born of both “Martin and Malcolm.”

states, “Dr. King’s policy was that nonviolence would achieve the gains for Black people in the United States.

His major assumption was that if you are nonviolent, if you suffer, your opponent will see your suffering and will be moved to change his heart. That’s very good. He only made one fallacious assumption: In order for nonviolence to work, your opponent must have a conscience. The United States has none.”

The play’s team – including Hope Villanueva (projection designer/PR), Elisheba Ittoop (sound designer), Marianne Meadows (stage manager/lighting designer) and Jennifer Knight (director) – create an

engaging environment with spare use of the museum’s expansive stage and very little set design. Instead the Carmichael character is given great audio and visual aids to engage with. Use of well-crafted video montages set the scene of the brutality experienced by civil rights protestors of the past while a poignant ending montage speaks to parallels of the violence experienced by Black bodies throughout Black protest movements historically ending with a powerful photograph of what looks to be Sojourner Truth. Not to be outdone the audial elements of the play are so strong that they serve as a secondary character for the solo actor to engage and

expand ideas with.

After the hour-long show, commissioned by the museum as part of its Taking the Stage programming, the actor took questions from the audience about everything from their experience with the play to LaBrone’s stint as a Metropolitan Police Department officer and how that influenced his depiction.

Meshaun LaBrone can be seen again in May helming his play Spook for Capital Fringe Theatre on Florida Ave. The National Museum of African American Heritage & Culture has several upcoming events for the month of March including a package for the Women’s History Month as part of the #HiddenHerstory campaign.

Cancer Survivor and Amputee Details How She Overcame Adversity

By Jannah G. Johnson Special to the AFRO It is often hard to maintain an optimistic attitude after being faced with adversity but new coming author, Donna Hopkins, seems to have mastered the practice of positivity despite some extremely difficult circumstances. Hopkins’ book, “Getting to the Other Side of Victory”, will be released March 15 and details her two-time struggle with cancer and lower leg amputation and how she managed to take her life back and rise above her pain.

Hopkins was born and raised in West Virginia and attended what is now known as Fairmont State University and currently lives in Silver Spring.

“I wrote the book because I went through cancer twice. In 1997 discovered a lump in my breast that turned out to be cancer and then 2 years later in 1999 I had a reoccurrence. I thought that would be the most that I had to go through, being hit with cancer twice but in 2010, I always say I went through an unforeseen medical disaster.”

“I went to the hospital to have uterine fibroids removed, and it’s funny, I walked

to the hospital that day and actually sent out an email to my friends joking that this would be my last walk for a minute thinking that I’d be in the hospital for 5 days and then out, but that 5 day hospital trip ended up being a 2 month hospital stay that ended with the amputation of my lower left leg.”

Losing her leg was an extremely traumatic event for Hopkins. many people find writing to be cathartic following a great tragedy or trauma, Hopkins is no exception.

“I ended up writing the book in the hospital because when we go through unforeseeable circumstances and things in our lives and we’re getting hit with things from every direction whether it’s medical or financial, whatever the situation may be, sometimes you end up getting stuck in what you’ve gone through and unable to move forward. I started jotting down notes in the hospital just for healing purposes, after going through everything I went through I realized that I’m still a blessed individual and that the fact that I’m still alive is key.

Sometimes we get so stuck in the past that we can’t move forwards and then we cheat ourselves out of the present and out of living life to the fullest. That was the

inspiration for the book, first for myself but also to help other people win in life and get past what they’ve gone through and then move forward with life.”

While Hopkins’ medical mishaps have physically changed her life, they have also had a huge impact on her overall outlook.

“You have no time to waste with crying about your situation and what has happened because you can never go back and do anything about what you’ve come through, but you can do something about how you move forward. My attitude has changed a lot, I don’t waste time, I don’t surround myself with negativity or people who can’t enjoy life, I’ve already survived tough times and it would be devastating to stay in it. I just don’t waste time anymore I do everything that I want to do, I make a point to be more involved and present in my relationships with those

around me. Material things will fade away over time, but relationships are the things that last and help you to push forward through life. I enjoy living life. I’m a competitive person and my focus is winning in life despite the odds.”

‘That’s what I’ve learned through this, many people haven’t gone through any of what I’ve gone through and they are cheating themselves out of life and I live it. If I were to leave this world today people would say “Man, Donna lived!” This book is going to be a book that, I believe, regardless of age, rac, and what you’re going through, that they can grab onto and push forward in getting past whatever they’re going through.”

Getting to The Other Side of Victory will be released March 15th, to learn more about Donna and her story visit her website, www.DonnaJHopkins.com.

The first feature film by a Black woman to get general theatrical release, Daughters of the Dust chronicles the lives of a group of women living in the Sea islands off the coast of South Carolina dealing with the ways in which modernization will affect their lives and their unique culture.

The Gullah are the descendants of enslaved Africans of various ethnic groups who live mainly in the so-called Lowcountry of Georgia and South Carolina though historically the culture has extended as far north as the Cape Fear area of North Carolina and as far south as northern Florida. The Gullah live on both the coastal plain and the Sea Islands. Partly because of the relatively sparse presence of white plantation owners in the area, they developed a culture much more heavily influenced by Africa than that of other African Americans. The language is a form of English Creole that is very close to the Krio spoken in Sierra Leone and their religious, folk beliefs, farming techniques, food, and crafts hew closely to West African culture as well.

One of the most important aspects of African culture kept alive by the Gullah is basket weaving, or basket-making. According to one of

the foremost Gullah basket makers in the country, Henrietta Snype, “Basket making is an art that came from the Senegal area and when our slaves were brought here, they had to try to figure out how they were going to preserve the past.”

Obviously, the enslaved workers were confronted with this conundrum with regard to many aspects of African culture including religion, family practices, etc. Basket making would receive less resistance for a very practical

reason. Rice played a crucial part in building the wealth of America. Rice was one of the biggest industries in antebellum South Carolina and Georgia. Plantation owners specifically bought slaves from the Senegambia area, and paid a premium for those Africans, for their technical knowledge of cultivating rice. The baskets were an essential part of that process.

Snype explained, “South Carolina was known for growing a lot of rice so you had to know how to make a fanner because when you collect the rice, it would go in that particular style basket for harvesting.” The fanner was a type of shallow basket used to separate the grain from the chaff.

The baskets were made from materials like sweet grass, palmetto leaves, and pine needles. In addition to those used for rice cultivation, Snype told the AFRO, “There were baskets for fruit, baskets for carrying Bibles, etc.”

Of course, with the advent of technology and the shifts in industry, basket-making isn’t a crucial aspect of contemporary business.

However, it remains an important cultural link to Africa. “My ancestors and theirs before them, knew they had to find a way to preserve the craft.” Snype explained. Learning the craft was, she said, “mandatory” when she was growing up.

“My great grandmother, Sally Turner, taught my grandmother, Elizabeth Johnson, my grandmother taught my mother and my mother, Mary, taught me. I taught my daughter and now she has a daughter who she taught. So it’s passed down.

Once you learn as a child, you never forget.”

When Snype first entered adulthood, she lost her connection to the art. A traumatic family event renewed her commitment. “I went to school and I worked for a while and I got away from it. Then my grandmother became ill. I decided I had to preserve and protect it.”

She also wanted the basket making to be respected as a form of art in its own right. She recalled, “I started taking photographs of my work and I submitted it to the South Carolina Arts Commission because I wanted to be recognized as an artist and not just a basketmaker.” She was accepted and has gone on to teach basket making in museums, schools, social organizations all over the United States.

Snype acknowledges that not all Gullah basket makers feel the same way she does. “A lot of basket makers will not teach because they feel like it’s giving away the craft but I feel you’re not actually giving it away. You’re sharing it.”

The baskets can sell for anywhere from $40 to upwards of $5,000 and on average take about eight hours to complete one of average size.

Snype continues to do what she does though, for reasons much beyond monetary gain. “It gives me.” she said, “A different perspective because it doesn’t just reflect me. It reflects that I am part of a community as a whole. When a community can preserve and protect its art it just gives you a great feeling because it’s something that no one else has.”

Bowie State Cinderella Women’s Season Ends in NCAA Regional Final

By Mark F. Gray Special to the AFRO The clock finally struck midnight on the Cinderella post season for the Bowie State Lady Bulldogs in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Division II women’s basketball tournament.

After pulling the biggest upset in this year’s tournament Bowie State advanced to the championship game of the Atlantic Regional but fell short losing to Indiana (PA) University 75-60. It was the second consecutive post season tournament this year where they lost in the finals.

Bowie St. ran out of gas during the CIAA finals against Virginia Union in Charlotte. The jumpers that fell during the first three days of their run in the Queen City were short and down the stretch and the 50/50 effort plays went the way of the Lady Panthers late in the fourth quarter. The Lady Bulldogs made just 20 of 69 shots missing 11 of 13 three-point attempts.

Meanwhile, Virginia Union played with a championship mettle that comes from success in the moment late. They answered a 10-0 run from Bowie St. near the end of the third quarter which closed the gap from 22 to 12 points. The Lady Panthers countered with a 7-2 run of their own and were able to push the lead back to 19 and cruise to their second CIAA championship in three years. While disappointed in losing there was a quiet confidence that gave them more than just cautious optimism as they ventured south for the NCAA’s big show.

In their first-round game of the national tournament the Lady Bulldogs took advantage of the chance to exact revenge on the team who beat them in the CIAA championship game. Bowie St.

Bowie St. senior guard Kyah Proctor helped lead the Lady Bulldogs to the CIAA Finals and the NCAA Division II Sweet 16 as her college career came to an end.

– who earned an at large bid after their 20-9 regular season mark - was seeded eighth leading to a rematch less than a week later at Virginia Union.

The Lady Panthers have become the standard bearer of

CIAA women’s basketball. Since coach, Anne-Marie Johnson, arrived in Richmond, Virginia Union has played for the national championship and never finished worse than a finalist in the conference tournament. However, Bowie State seniors Kyah Proctor and Kiara Colson combined for 33 points to leading them to a seismic upset 63-56 in historic Barco-Stevens Hall.

That victory reverberated throughout the nation. A powerhouse programs was eliminated. The top seed was beaten on their home floor as Cinderella joined March Madness in a black and gold carriage from the DMV. The fairytale bracket was born as the favorite from the region lost its first game.

It was the Lady Bulldogs defense holding the CIAA champions to 30.6 percent shooting that was the difference. Virginia Union made only 15 of 49 field goal attempts in one of the biggest wins in the history of Bowie St.’s program.

Edinboro was next up for the Lady Bulldogs in the round of 32.

One week to the day after falling in CIAA Championship Bowie St. had to regroup to survive and advance to the regional final.

They struggled to pull away despite leading by 15 in the first half and 68-60 with 5:49 remaining in the fourth quarter. Sade Chatman led them 19 points and seven rebounds and it was on to the Sweet 16 for the fourth time.

Ultimately, the glass slipper didn’t fit. Indiana (PA) University’s front line was too much and Bowie State ride towards a national champion was over. The program grows from making this run even in defeat. There are big shoes to fill thanks to a great senior class who weathered a storm. Earlier this century Va. Union vs. Bowie St. was the best rivalry in Division II and it’s back. The players just dress in different locker rooms now.

BALTIMORE-AREA

Race and Politics

`A City On the Rise’ Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh delivered her second, “State of the City,” address Sean Yoes March Baltimore AFRO 12, in the Editor syoes@afro.com chambers of the Baltimore City Council.

When Pugh delivered her first State of the City in March 2017, Baltimore was learning about the sordid details connected to the now disgraced Gun Trace Task Force and the city was in the midst of a record breaking year for murder. Those dark days of 2017 have cast a long shadow upon all of us.

This week, Mayor Pugh argued in cautiously optimistic yet, confident tones

JHU Pres. Daniels Responds

Some Students Reject Planned JHU Police Force

Johns Hopkins University is pushing legislation in Annapolis that would green light a private police force for the school. Some JHU students are pushing back against the effort.

By Stephen Janis and Taya Graham Special to the AFRO It seemed like a relatively straightforward proposal.

An uptick in crime around Johns Hopkins’ campuses in Homewood and East Baltimore prompted JHU president Ron Daniels to push for a law that would enable the university to establish a professional police force replete with arrest powers similar to nearby institutions like Morgan State University and Towson University.

“As you can imagine post Freddie Gray, we had a significant surge of violence in the city and particularly around our campus,” Daniels told the AFRO. “We saw 18 armed robberies near the Homewood Campus just in the fall alone - 12 involving our students, this was a level of crime we were not used to.”

But, in a city where police corruption continues to make national headlines and skepticism about the ability of cops to address the complex root causes of crime, nothing involving law enforcement is easy; particularly on a campus where students seem both conscious of the pitfalls of policing and

capable of making sure their voices are heard.

“I think they are honestly surprised they are getting pushback, “ Victor Kumar a graduate student explained.

“Which just goes to show how out of touch they are.”

Along with a series of protests, students manned a phone bank this week to urge legislators to vote against a bill currently on the agenda in Annapolis that would grant Hopkins the right to enter into a memorandum of agreement with the Baltimore Police Department and establish a full fledged department.

The legislation, sponsored – Victor Kumar

by Del. Cheryl Glenn (D-45), in the house and Sen. Joan Carter-Conway (D-43), in the Senate, is currently in committee with a hearing before the House Judiciary Committee planned for March 16.

Organizers said their efforts to stop the bill is tied to intractable problems of racialized policing and community distrust that has defined law enforcement in the city that surrounds them; particularly in light of the recent scandal involving the Gun Trace Task Force, which led to convictions and guilty pleas of nine officers accused of racketeering, overtime fraud and robbing residents.

“I have plowed and reaped and husked and chopped and mowed, and can any man do more than that?” -Sojourner Truth, 1851 Sojourner Truth’s question still resonates in the persistent wage gap between Black women and White males in Maryland.

Black women still earn a little more than 69 cents for every dollar earned by White male workers, according to

Black women still earn a little more than 69 cents for every dollar earned

by White male workers... the National Women’s Law Center. Even with a 30 cent per dollar wage gap between Black women and White men, Maryland ranks fifth in the nation in term of pay equity based on the organization’s state-by-state ranking. Idaho currently leads the nation in coming the closet to closing the wage gap paying Black women 89.1 cents for every dollar earned by a White man.

Eight Wounded in Four Separate Shootings

By Michelle Richardson Special to the AFRO Eight people — including two teenagers— were injured in four different shootings the evening of March 12, according to the Baltimore Police Department (BPD).

T.J. Smith, chief spokesman for BPD said all of the victims are, “varying from critical condition to stable and soon to be released.”

Two women, two 17 yearold boys, and four adult males were shot.

The rash of shootings started with two separate triple shootings that happened between 9:15 p.m. and 11:45 p.m.

The first triple shooting happened in the Allendale neighborhood of West Baltimore, in the 3600 block of Mulberry St. According to police, at around 9:15 p.m., a 17-year old male was shot in the stomach, an adult male was shot in the upper body, and a 27-year old woman was shot in the chest.

All three victims were taken area hospitals for treatment. As of AFRO press time there was no update on their injuries.

At 9:50 p.m., in the 2300 block of Bryant Ave., police found a 23 year-old shot in the back in the Parkview/

Woodbrook neighborhood of West Baltimore. He was transported to an area hospital, no word on his condition.

A little after 11:30 p.m., in the Penrose neighborhood, police said the second triple shooting of the night occurred when two men and a woman were shot in the 1900 blk., of Penrose Ave., also in West Baltimore.

A 24 year old man was shot in the upper body, a 49 year-old man was shot in the cheek, and a 49 year-old woman was shot in the neck.

The 17 year-old victim with a gunshot wound to the cheek, walked into an area hospital a short time later.

The victim said he tried to run when he was shot. The Penrose community was also the sight of a homicide last weekend and another shooting last week where the victim suffered non-life threatening

injuries.

Smith said police are “obviously concerned” about the spike in violence and are responding to it.

He also stated police were paying close attention to the neighborhood on March 12, but, “Unfortunately, last night (March 12), some motivated bad guys were able to get through those deployments,” Smith said.

“Between the weekend and last night, every commander was on conference calls and at work as part of an all-out strategy. There have been extra deployments placed on the streets in general, and people can ride around the city and see that.”

Police are asking anyone with information in the shootings to call detectives at 410-396-2221 or call and leave a tip anonymously on the Metro Crime Stoppers line at 1-866-7-LOCK-UP.

Police Force Continued from D1

“Hopkins creating a private police force means there will be more cops in the city and they will be less accountable,” senior Hopkins student, Miranda Bachman told the AFRO. “If we’re in danger and there are students in danger it is from other students. The amount of reports we do not get for sexual assault is insane. I hear [this] from people all the time.”

It is a concern Daniels argues a professional police force could address.

“Particularly given concerns around sexual assault, we believe a well trained professional security force with sworn peace officers can play an important role in raising sensitivities to these issues,” Daniels explained.

But, also problematic for students is that the plan to switch from security guards to a cadre of sworn officers was

announced without consulting them first.

“I’m really curious why the university did this, and what they’re goals are and what they think this will accomplish,” Kumar said.

Kumar is an anthropologist who teaches a course on the history of policing. A perspective that makes him wary of touting beefed up law enforcement as a surefire solution to crime.

“Statistics change for all sorts of complex reasons, you have to be careful about making correlative conclusions,” he said.

Still, he notes the university also faces the challenge of assuaging the fears of prospective students reluctant to attend Hopkins due to the perception the campus is unsafe.

“Hopkins knows their biggest weakness in attracting students to Baltimore is safety,” Kumar said.

“I’ve talked to people in the administration and this is a major factor in terms of students not choosing Hopkins.”

To address student concerns Daniels said he and other university officials will be holding a series of town hall meetings to foster discussion. Among the topics he hopes to confront are concerns that police are prone to target students of color and could engage in racial profiling.

“We know a system of racial bias and racial profiling is a serious issue in contemporary law enforcement, but we also know other universities have been able to create agencies that don’t succumb to these patterns of behaviors,” Daniels said.

“This is a start of a conversation and not the end of one.”

Taxation Committee and House Appropriations Committee late last month, Brinkley detailed efforts being made by the state to close the wage gap.

“The Department of Budget and Management and the rest of the Hogan-Rutherford Administration take the issue of salary gaps very seriously,” said Brinkley “To address the disparity issues, the state has expanded its current relationships with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) and professional organizations and its participation in job fairs that may be sources for African-American, Latino and other diversity recruitment,” Brinkley added.

Officials at Bowie State University’s Career Development Center confirmed that the state has reached out to their school to connect with more students of color. “Yes, the department has conducted a career fair and has done career workshops to help prepare students for state jobs,” said April Johnson, director of Bowie’s Career Development Center.

“Both Black men and Black women are over represented in the hourly wages categories and in lower pay grades,” said

Loubert. While career fairs may help broaden exposure and outreach to Black women for entry level positions, Loubert said state government leaders must adopt a mindset that propels the state to move toward salary equity – at all levels.

“It’s really hard for Whites to decide it’s ok for Blacks to make the same amount of money. That mentality still persists,” Loubert said.

“Just to have a state job means that you have all these other benefits, that to some extent increase the wealth of Black folks, even though at a lower level.” She said that those in power may unconsciously convince themselves with the rationale that, “It’s ok, at least they have good jobs,” Loubert added.

“You’ve got to get the state to recognize this and admit it.”

Brinkley’s testimony at least signals that DBM is working on the kind of analysis that will help the state move beyond pooling women of color in entry level positions.

“DBM will work with state agencies following a thorough analysis of this information to ensure that more women and minorities are hired into professional positions,” he said.

Wage Gap Continued from D1

Linda Loubert a political economist and interim chair of the Behavioral and Social Science Center at Morgan State University.

Working for the state doesn’t help black women close the wage gap in Maryland. The average salary for Black women in state jobs is still $10,000 below the average salary for White men, according to the Maryland Office of Budget and Management’s (DBM) 2017 annual report.

“Maryland was a slave state and even though we now have a large number of Black legislators who can develop laws for us, it’s just not enough. Closing the wage gap is unfortunately not at the top of the list of the many needs blacks have in this state. We have had to pick our battles,” said Loubert.

DBM Director David Brinkley said his organization is working on closing the pay gap in state government. The DBM report acknowledged that Blacks and particularly Black women, continue to be disproportionately represented in lower pay grade jobs, contributing to the wage gap.

In written testimony submitted to the Senate Budget and

that Baltimore is emerging from one of the city’s darkest chapters and is, “A city on the rise.”

“I begin my address by reminding all of us of the truly great city we claim as home.

Despite too much national attention for all the wrong reasons, we know that our city,

known for its irresistible charm is so much more,” Pugh said, alluding to our world class institutions of medicine and education, our sports teams, and a thriving cultural scene, which attracts, “tens of thousands of tourists and residents from neighboring counties…”

Then, the mayor delivered her sober summary

of last year’s record homicide rate, and the murder and mayhem that has gripped our city for far too long.

“Yes, ours is also a city with too much tragedy. Too much crime, too much devastation, sadness and loss,” Pugh said.

“Each and every one of those 343 lost due to gun violence in 2017, left behind too many loved ones and the collateral damage done is generational. Too many wounds that will not heal any time soon. I mourn, as all of us do...It must not continue!”

And during the speech, Pugh gave significant attention to the corruption within the Baltimore Police Department, some argue is pervasive, embodied most boldly by the nefarious deeds of the now disbanded Gun

root out bad police, and we will reform this department…”

Pugh went on to talk at length and in some detail about law enforcement reform and her multi-faceted approach (partnering with leaders across the state, including Gov. Larry Hogan), to provide improved public safety for Baltimore. As expected, she heaped praise upon her new Police Commissioner Darryl De Sousa. And she also name checked several of the grassroots groups and individuals that keep the city from being torn asunder, including: UMAR Boxing, No Hooks Before Books, Ray Kelly and the No Boundaries Coalition, Ericka Bridgeford and Baltimore Ceasefire, KEYES Development, Hugs Don’t Shoot, Community Mediation, among others.

Ultimately, I thought Mayor Pugh delivered a clear-eyed, thorough assessment of our city’s many manifest ills, and cogently illuminated a plausible path forward (and identified many of the remedies already implemented).

One community leader in attendance during the speech (who did not want – Mayor Pugh to be identified in this column), said, “She seems to be finding her stride.”

I agree.

At times I’ve been skeptical betrayed the public trust. The evidence made of the current administration (publicly and clear that certain members of our police privately), as well. department were themselves criminals,” Pugh However, I believe the mayor deserves said. “The victimization of our community some space to manifest her vision for the city by those former officers - and the others also we love, not with impunity, but with some implicated - disgraced this police department patience. and disgraced our city.

Church News Continued from D1

Power, then you know as soon as the music begins, it feels like one big family reunion. Everyone begins to sing and reminisce about days ago. The spirit of God is always felt, and you leave feeling like you have gotten the extra boost that you need to make it through the week.

The Hour of Power is such a unique concept. I was interested in what

prompted Waddell to begin this movement in Baltimore.

He informed me that it’s more than just singing for an hour. “I wanted a platform to educate and showcase the history of choir music,” he said. “The Hour of Power is a city-wide effort as we preserve songs from the past and celebrate where Gospel Music is headed. The vision is to motivate our church choirs

to stay alive, teach younger musicians the hymns of the church and unify our city in singing the good news.”

Next month, April 8, The Hour of Power will celebrate five years. Plans are still underway, but be sure this will be an event you don’t want to miss. Check back next time to see all the details for the five year anniversary of The Hour of Power.

Advertise your church’s Good Friday and Easter services.

Baltimore Local Entertainers Are Awesome!

Hello my dear friends. I have been a little under the weather for the past couple of weeks, but the show must go on. I want to start off by telling you about my popular Godchild, Mrs. Maybelle, who is still making her mark in our Baltimore community by giving back. She is not only a very popular, very talented and gifted comedian, but she is the producer and CEO of her own full figured modeling company. This weekend, on March 18, at the Forum Caterers she will step up again with a fashion show only as Mrs. Maybelle, could do. Cash bar and lite fare are included. I will see you there.

There is another one of our local entertainers who has gone national, but always comes back to his hometown to share his gift; I am talking about Isaac Parham a gifted and talented saxophonist.

Parham is a native of Baltimore and attended the Music Careers Program at Frederick Douglass High School, and the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University, a conservatory and university-preparatory school. The school has influenced the music of Grover Washington, Jr., Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, David Sanborn and so many others. Check him out at the Caton Castle Lounge, on Caton Ave. and Hilton Street on March 17, 6p.m.10p.m. I promise you will not be disappointed. If you enjoy good jazz then you will enjoy Parham and his band.

There are a couple of things I must inform you about in advance, because for one of the events, you have to make a deposit early for a jazz bus trip coming up in June. Let me explain; Jazz Expressways Foundation will host a weekend trip to the Clifford Brown Jazz Festival in Wilmington, June 22 thru June. As you see that is a few months away meaning you have to get your deposit in very soon this month. Now check this out! We are leaving Baltimore on June 22 at 10 a.m., from Cromwell Bridge Road in Towson, stopping for shopping and eating at Christiana Shopping Mall. The trip also includes reservations for two nights and three days at the Doubletree Hotel, admission to the festival and much more, including a stop at the Delaware Park Casino on the way home. Call 410-532-8536 for ticket information.

The other event you need to know about in advance is called “Bangin’ with the Boomers” a party for the young at heart. Come and join me for an afternoon of fun, food, door prizes, vendors, live entertainment, dance music by DJ Sugar Chris and dancing for all my senior citizen fans, who love reading my column. We have put together a buffet luncheon party just for you at the Forum Caterers, 4210 Primrose Ave., on Apr. 12, noon- 3p.m. Get out of that senior citizen building; I don’t care if you come by mobility van, car, bus, wheelchair, walker or cane, come out and have some fun with me.

For ticket information, call me at 410-833-9474. If you like it, then I will do this every 2nd Thursday of the month. So call me or email me at rosapryor@aol.com.

Well, my dear friends, it is about that time. Remember, I love you, and if you need me call me at 410-833-9474 or email me at rosapryor@aol.com. Until the next time, I’m musically yours.

TO OUR CUSTOMERS WE SAY

thank you

for your patience and confidence.

As Winter Storm Riley battered central Maryland with high sustained winds and gusts exceeding 70 mph, its impact was felt by more than 460,000 BGE customers.

Leading the effort to restore service were more than 3,100 crews, support staff and contractors, including crews who came to assist from our sister Exelon utilities, 13 states and Canada. Our restoration crews have worked in shifts around the clock against tremendous challenges—including delays caused by continued high winds, downed trees and damaged power equipment. We salute the efforts of first responders and emergency management partners, and all who have helped to safely restore power to our community. We realize the hardship of winter outages, and we thank our customers for their patience and confidence as we worked to complete the restoration.
