The Afro-American, January 20, 2018 - January 20, 2018

Protests Continued from A1 and St. Paul, Minnesota, and an massive turnout of Black women defeated Roy Moore’s run for Senate in Alabama.

Las Vegas was chosen for its unique character as both a battleground state and the site of deadliest mass shooting by an individual in U.S. history.

Last year also saw the J20 protests during the Trump inauguration January 20. In the aftermath, 204 people, arrested en masse, were charged with riot-related felonies and

misdemeanors. While an initial six defendants, including professionals such as journalists and nurses, were acquitted, the Department of Justice is still moving forward with charges on the remaining 188 defendants.

Late last January, after the announcement of Executive Order 13769, what has been called the Muslim ban, protestors severely compromised the operations of airports such as John F. Kennedy International,

O’Hare International and Baltimore-Washington International. Demonstrations occurred at over twenty U.S. airports daily until early February. Matching protests took place in airports as far away as Manchester, England and Berlin, Germany.

Since then, various federal courts challenged the ban. In a 7-2 December decision, the Supreme Court allowed the President’s modified order 13780 to go in full effect. On Dec. 22, the Ninth Circuit

All-White Continued from A1 judiciary.

A recent study by the Congressional Research Service noted Trump is nominating judges at a much faster rate than his predecessors. More than 90 percent of his nominees have been White, a higher percentage of White judges than any president in 30 years, and that bothers Norton.

“A president’s most lasting impact on the nation is often the shaping of the federal bench, whose decisions are difficult to reverse,” Norton, a recognized Constitutional scholar in her own right, said. “The courts have been the most important institution for African Americans in gaining their rights in our country. The CBC has an obligation to examine the federal judiciary in preparation for seeking changes from the Trump administration.”

The forum took place on the eve of Sens.

Cory Booker (D-N.J.) and Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) being named to the Senate Judiciary Committee by U.S. Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.). The selections were the result of Al Franken leaving the Senate last year due to a sexual harassment scandal. U.S. Rep. Cedric Richmond (DLa.), the chairman of the CBC, praised the appointments.

“Sen. Booker and Sen. Harris, two great attorneys who are committed to 21st century criminal justice reform, were appointed to the Senate Judiciary Committee, becoming the second and third African Americans to serve on the committee in its 200-plus-year history.”

Booker and Harris will vote on Trump’s nominees, who have so far been largely White. The Congressional Research Service analysis of the last three presidents’ nominees to the federal bench their first year shows that Presidents Bill Clinton’s picks were 72.3 percent, George W. Bush’s were 86.2 percent and Barack Obama’s were 48.5 percent while Trump’s were 91.2 percent White.

As of Jan., 11, the Senate has confirmed 23 federal judges including one to the U.S. Supreme Court, 10 U.S. District Court judges and 12 for the U.S. Courts of Appeals.

Vanita Gupta, president and CEO of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights and a participant in Norton’s event, said Trump’s heavy favoritism towards Whites is disturbing.

“President Trump has only nominated two women of color,” Gupta said. “In fact, Trump has replaced at least 10 of Obama’s nominees of color with White nominees. Bringing diverse experiences and perspectives to the bench allows judges to make better informed decisions and increases public confidence in our justice system.”

Gupta used the example of the Eastern District Court of North Carolina as an example of Trump’s preferences towards Whites, particularly White males. She said that two Black females were nominated by President Obama to fill district court vacancies, Jennifer May-Parker and Patricia Timmons-Goodson, but they were denied a hearing by the U.S. Senate. Trump, said Gupta, nominated Thomas Farr, a White male who had strong ties to the late conservative senator, Jesse Helms, to the position. Gupta said that nominees such as Farr must be fought and exposed to the public.

Johnny Barnes, a civil rights attorney in the District of Columbia and the former head of the city’s ACLU, told the AFRO that he too is troubled by Trump’s high percentage of Whites on the federal judiciary.

“It would seem that this is in line with Trump’s policies trying to exclude people of color,” Barnes said. “He is using the judiciary in that way. There is an unspoken view among some Whites that others are trying to take over and he has bought into that.”

Barnes said that unlike President Reagan, who nominated a lot of conservatives to the federal bench during his term from 19811989, Reagan was a “conservative in the truest sense while Trump is a racist in the truest sense.”

Barnes said that people of goodwill must fight Trump’s “attempt to stack the judiciary to save White people. We must stand up and speak out. If not, he can be more impactful than Reagan.”

January 20, 2018 - January 26, 2018, The Afro-American Court ruled that the order “exceeds the scope of his delegated authority.”

The Women’s March will not be returning to Portland, Oregon this year, but will return to Oahu, Hawaii. Still devastated by Maria and an incomplete U.S. relief effort, Puerto Rico has not announced a Women’s March in 2018. The Florida Women’s March, encompassing Jacksonville, St. Petersburg, Orlando and Miami has

announced it will be holding a donation drive for Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Florida Keys all affected by Hurricane Maria.

Baltimore’s Women’s March will begin at City Hall in War Memorial Plaza.

Starting at 11 a.m. a march will proceed from the plaza to McKeldin Square. Mayor Catherine E. Pugh, Sen. Ben Cardin and Maryland State’s Attorney Marilyn J. Mosby are expected to attend and

speak.

2017’s Baltimore March, at North Charles Street and 33rd Street, drew almost 5,000 people while a sizable contingent travelled south to D.C. to protest at the nation’s capital.

“This resistance needs all of us, every day, fighting for the collective liberation of all people,” the Women’s March Global website says.

“Because none of us are free until all of us are free.”

Boycotting Continued from A1 President Trump allegedly insulted non-European countries such as Haiti, El Salvador and those on the African continent, calling them “s--thole countries.”

CBC members were upset at the characterization and some decided soon after not to attend the State of the Union.

“For the first time since I began serving in the U.S. House of Representatives, I will not be attending the president’s State of the Union address,” Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-Fla.) said in a statement that was published in the Jan. 14 editions of the Tampa Bay Times. “I have no doubt that instead of delivering a message of inclusivity and an agenda that benefits all Americans, President Trump’s address will be full of innuendo, empty promises and lies.”

Wilson and the Trump administration locked horns when the president told the widow of Army Sgt. La David Johnson, a Black man who

U.S. Rep. Cedric Richmond, chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, is expected to announce whether the CBC will boycott the next State of the Union address. federal building in the Miami area and it was proven that she never made that statement.

“Congressman Lewis will not be in attendance for the SOTU,” a spokesperson for Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) told the AFRO in an email on Jan. 17.

After his election in 2016, Trump belittled Lewis and his

“For the first time since I began serving in the U.S. House of Representatives, I will not be attending the president’s State of the Union address.”

-Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-Fla.) was killed in Niger last year that “he knew what he was getting into” when he signed up for the military. Wilson also had to correct Trump’s chief of staff John Kelly when he said that the representative claimed credit for a

largely middle-class district based in Atlanta saying that it “was in horrible shape.” Lewis recently said publicly that Trump is a racist.

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), a congress member who has openly called for

Trump to be impeached, said on Joy Reid’s MSNBC show on Jan. 14 that she won’t attend the State of the Union either.

The CBC rarely employs this tactic as a sign of protest.

While the CBC vigorously disagreed with many of the policies of the George W. Bush, George H.W. Bush, Ronald Reagan and Gerald Ford presidential administration, their dissatisfaction didn’t rise to the level of a boycott.

The only State of the Union that has been boycotted by the CBC was the January 1971 address by President Richard Nixon. The boycott, an unheard of tactic at that time, forced Nixon to meet with the CBC shortly and gain some concessions such as increased social services spending, using federal power to fight racism and discrimination and more opportunities for people of color in employment and government contracting.

Adams Continued from A1 the Council of Bishops announces that the Right Reverend John Hurst Adams, the 87th elected and consecrated bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, transitioned today, Jan. 10, 2018, from the Church Militant to the Church Triumphant,” Bishop Clement W.

Adams also studied at Harvard University and the Union Theological Seminary. Throughout his life, Adams noted that he was a classmate of Rev.

King’s Legacy Prominent at NAACP Image Awards

By Jennifer Wright Special to the AFRO The 49th Annual NAACP Image Awards took place on January 15, 2018 in Pasadena, CA. The live show aired on TVOne and was hosted by 4-time NAACP Image Award Winner and star of ABC’s “Black-ish,” Anthony Anderson.

This is the first time the awards show, which honors outstanding people of color in film, television, music and literature, held the event on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. “The NAACP is proud to air our “49th Image Awards” telecast on the nation’s most significant civil rights day of the year

Blige looks on at the 49th annual NAACP Image Awards at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in Pasadena, Calif. celebrating the life and achievements of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.,” NAACP National Board of Directors Chairman Leon W. Russell said in a statement.

Dr. King’s legacy was prominent throughout the award show as surviving members of the 1968 Memphis Sanitation Workers strike were honored with the ‘Vanguard Award’.

The strike began in February 1968 and was sparked by the deaths of Echol Cole and Robert Walker after being crushed by garbage compactors. The strike sparked national attention, leading both the NAACP and Martin Luther King, Jr. to join in the effort.

His legacy also shone through as both Charlie Wilson and Danny Glover were honored for their contributions to charity

and social justice with the Music Makes a Difference Award and the President’s Award, respectively.

There was also an importance placed on voting, particularly for 2018 Midterm elections. While Anderson poked fun of politics specifically naming President Donald Trump and former White House political aide Omarosa Manigault; the powerful #TimesUp speech given by several actresses including Jurnee Smolett-Bell and Angela Robinson, urged people to vote in the upcoming elections. “The midterms are a perfect moment for us to use our voices,” Robinson said. “If we can take back a seat in Alabama…”

“Then we have the ability to shift the imbalance of power,” Smolett-Bell concluded.

COMMENTARY

Republicans’ Convenient Memory Loss on Trump’s Racist Language “I’ve got a president of the United States whose office I respect, who talks about the country’s origins of my fellow citizens in the most despicable manner. You don’t remember? You can’t remember the words of your commander in chief?” New Jersey senator Cory Booker asked Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen during a hearing on Jan. 16. “I find that unacceptable.”

Booker, of course, was referring to President Donald Trump’s calling Haiti and Africa “shith*les” during a meeting about immigration with members of Congress. Kristjen, who was at the immigration meeting, claims not to remember Trump’s exact words. While Sens. such as Dick Durbin (D-Ill) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who were both in the meeting, have confirmed the president’s slur, others have played coy and suffered convenient memory loss such as Sens.

Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) and David Perdue (RGa.). Both have claimed that Trump did not say “sh*thole” but may have said “sh*thouse.”

Great. That means the President of the United States of America referred to Haiti and Africa as a “sh*thouse.”

Trump has a long history of using racist language (see Sean Yoe’s column on the Baltimore page for more examples). This is just the latest instance of the leader of the free world denigrating people who are not White.

The stain is exacerbated by the only Republicans willing to stand up to Trump.

Surprisingly, but unfortunately, these Republicans are in their final years in office.

“2017 was a year which saw the truth— objective, empirical, evidence-based truth—more battered and abused than any other in the history of our country, at the hands of the most powerful figure in our government,” Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ), who is retiring, said on the Senate floor on Jan. 17.

As a final insult, Trump reportedly played golf on Martin Luther King’s birthday instead of attending an event honoring the slain civil rights leader. That’s par for the course with this president.

2018 Elections

America Votes for Our Future On Jan. 15 we celebrated Dr. King’s Day as a national day of service. This was as it should be. Our love, dedication and service to others were at the heart of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s prophetic message to America – even as his vision for our future remained firmly fixed upon our democratic power as voting citizens.

We need only gaze, once again, upon the profound sense of accomplishment in Dr. King’s face, memorialized for the ages on Aug. 6, 1965, as he received the pen with which President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the 1965 Voting Rights Act into law.

For the man whom I believe was the greatest moral and practical leader of our time, that moment in the White House was the affirmative conclusion of a decades’ long journey.

As a grateful nation, we must never forget the words of Dr. King’s stirring 1957 speech, “Give Us the Ballot.” They are words that reflected how deeply Dr. King believed in our ability - as voting citizens - to transform our lives and those of the generations of Americans yet to be born.

Even as we serve our communities in our daily lives, we also honor Dr. King’s legacy by our active engagement in the democratic process that strengthened his faith.

I make this (perhaps self-evident) observation because, as in 1957 and 1965, we once again are living in a deeply troubling time for our nation, a time that could weaken Americans’ confidence in democracy and our ability as citizens to chart our own destiny.

Polling data reportedly indicates that only one-third of Americans currently believe that our nation is headed in the right direction.

Fewer than 40 percent of us approve of the President, and even fewer

Elijah Cummings

of us approve of the current Republican congressional majority.

No truly objective observer could reasonably conclude that this disapproval of our current government by the majority of American voters is unwarranted.

Yet, I firmly believe that, were he speaking from the Lincoln Memorial today, Dr. King’s faith in the American people as the ultimate guarantors of our democratic system would be unshaken.

Dr. King would be heartened, as am I, by the reality that Americans of every background are rising up, marching, organizing, registering their neighbors to vote, and voting in large numbers to restore that better course for our nation that the American people deserve.

“Give us the ballot,” they are shouting, echoing Dr. King’s cry, and they are making their votes count.

The American people already have used their ballots to begin raising our nation out of the governmental abyss in states as diverse as Virginia, New Jersey and Alabama – and African American voters were prominent in achieving those electoral victories, as I believe we will be in the November’s congressional and state elections.

We are the drum majors and foot soldiers of Dr. King’s dream for America, the same engaged and energized multiracial coalition of conscience and common sense that elevated Barack Obama to the presidency.

Even as we continue to resist the reactionary policies of the current President and congressional majority, we must also do the organizing, voter registration and efforts to “get out the vote” that will affirm Dr. King’s vision in November 2018.

Our vision and mission are clear. Victory in November will be defined every bit as much by the progressive policies that we are pledged to enact as by the failures of the current President and

congressional majority.

The guiding principles of our progressive coalition were expressed in the Democratic Platform that I was privileged to assist in creating [democrats.org/party-platform ], the same progressive agenda that a majority of American voters supported in 2016.

Although we are not yet in the majority, Democrats in the Senate and House are already articulating this vision in legislative proposals that speak to the challenges at the center of our lives.

After victory in November, a more progressive Congress will work to strengthen, not seek to destroy, the Affordable Care Act, Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.

We will fight to raise the national minimum wage to $15 an hour, lower prices on prescription drugs by allowing Medicare to negotiate with pharmaceutical companies and support the apprenticeships and job training that are the foundation of living wages.

Criminal justice reform, protection of our natural heritage and more rational and humane immigration policies will once again be at the center of our national agenda.

Above all else, we will enact legislation to restore the Voting Rights Act to its full power, prevent further foreign interference in our electoral process and hold accountable anyone who seeks to subvert our most fundamental civil right.

We have been given the ballot – and we intend to make full use of that democratic power this year.

Marching arm-in-arm with tens of millions of other energized American citizens, we can – and we will – win the fight for the soul of our democracy in 2018.

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

Leaping Toward the Middle Class Two years ago, Betty Henderson, a native of New Orleans but a longtime Washingtonian who moved to the capital in the seventies, faced a situation thousands of Americans face each year—several months of unemployment had turned into years without work. Even with a college education, the longer she went without a job, the more difficult it was to get back into the workforce.

The years without employment weren’t easy—she spent almost a decade moving from friend’s house to friend’s house—but Ms. Henderson never lost hope, and even as she watched other people her age begin planning for retirement, she continued looking for work.

Throughout her unemployment, she found purpose in tutoring and mentoring others who were looking to build a brighter future, and she was determined to do the same for herself. So, on a Tuesday afternoon in October 2015, Ms. Henderson walked into a D.C. American Job Center and met with one of the site’s workforce development specialists.

It was during that visit when she learned about LEAP. Short for

Muriel Bowser

“Learn, Earn, Advance, Prosper,” my administration created the program during our first few months in office to connect residents just like Ms. Henderson to jobs in the D.C. Government. LEAP allows Washingtonians to earn money as they are trained for D.C. Government positions. The training program can last up to a year, but in most cases, residents are hired before the training period ends. Then, participants are monitored for two years and LEAP staff continues to provide support to both employees and employers.

The idea behind LEAP is simple: it connects local residents with jobs that serve their community. From fixing roads to staffing our 311 and 911 call centers, the D.C. Government provides countless services that keep the District running and keep residents and visitors safe.

By training and hiring Washingtonians who are already invested in bettering our community and helping their neighbors, LEAP is a winwin for our city and our residents.

With some advice on how to get her outdated resume into better shape and just three days to submit all her application materials, Ms. Henderson left the job center that afternoon on a mission. Two years later, she is employed full time at a local recreation center where she was trained in customer service through LEAP. Inspired by visitors

who would inquire about her healthy lunches, she took classes to become a certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and now even leads her own nutrition class at the center. And today, Ms. Henderson finally has her own place to call home—close to where she works, in the neighborhood she serves.

Since launching almost three years ago, 240 District residents have gone through the LEAP program. Many of these residents are now working in full-time positions as mechanics, 311 call takers, customer care representatives, and more. In short, LEAP is helping us build a safer, stronger city.

Washington, D.C., has never before experienced better days, but like in many places across our country, our prosperity has not reached all residents equally. Years of systemic inequalities have held many Americans back from reaching the middle class. But our country remains full of men and women who are hopeful—men and women who want to work and are eager for opportunities to improve their communities. Through programs like LEAP, we are creating new pathways to the middle class and keeping the American Dream alive.

Muriel Bowser has been the mayor of Washington, D.C. since 2015

This Haiti Earthquake Anniversary, Black Immigrants are Under Threat In so many ways our lives as immigrants in the United States, are the same as anyone who works hard to take care of their families. My story is an example of this.

I first visited the U.S. in 2004, amidst the coup d’etat against President Jean-Bertrand Aristide. I didn’t know at the time that I would have to stay here. But by the time Aristide was ousted from power, I was forced to seek refuge in this country because I feared for my life. As someone who belonged to a community group that supported his political party (Lavalas) I became a target.

When I started to build a life here, it was very difficult. Within a year Hurricane Wilma damaged the house where I was staying and I lost my papers in the storm. During that time I started going to a Catholic church, where I found a school whose staff told me where to go for help. The school helped me get a bus card so that I could get back and forth and they also helped me find a lawyer who informed me that I was here too long to file for asylum.

In order to feed myself and support my family in Haiti I had to work in the bean fields for two years. It was very difficult work, at times my lips would crack and bleed from the products they used.

Eventually, a lawyer helped me file for a work permit, that

Luce Janvier

enabled me to find a job as a housekeeper and rent a room to live in.

But I still didn’t have enough to eat. I would go to church and school on an empty stomach. The minimum wage I made was just enough to pay for transportation and to send money for my three kids in Haiti.

Then the earthquake struck in Jan. 2010. It destroyed the home in Delmas (in the greater Port-au-Prince area) where my kids lived.

So for several months they had to live in a tent. My son’s foot was injured, almost broken in the earthquake. My family didn’t receive any of the aid that was sent to support survivors. And because I didn’t have all my papers, I couldn’t be there with them. All I could do was send money.

Things began to turn for the better once I found out about TPS (Temporary Protected Status). Through my church I got connected with Catholic Charities, which helped me file for TPS. For the first time in 12 years, I would be able to travel and see my children.

And then I applied for permanent residence. Though I built my life here and paid taxes, there were some basic services I still didn’t have full access to. For example, I couldn’t afford health insurance so I couldn’t go to the doctor. I haven’t been able to afford a decent apartment, so I still have to rent a room.

I’m sharing my story for one simple reason: to let you know that immigrants like me want what every person wants and deserves. We

want to live and work to provide for our families. And for those of us who have made our lives here, we want a path to permanent residence and a path to citizenship. We want to live with dignity, not just to survive.

As we work towards that permanent solution, we’re asking you to stand in solidarity with us now.

Thousands of residents are fearful that they may lose their jobs because they haven’t been able to renew their work permits. The Department of Homeland Security neglected to provide Haitian TPS holders with updated information on the work authorization renewal period. We need the Department of Homeland Security to update the Federal Register, with the start date the 60-day re-registration period beginning on the day the Federal Register is updated.

We also need Congress to enact legislation that provides a humane, holistic solution for Haitians and other TPS holders. We need legislation that formalize what TPS holders already are— permanent residents of the United States.

Wise Basketball on the Rise

Wise has won every divisional match this season…

Senior guard Sherwyn Devonish led the way in that contest by scoring 29 points; he accounted for two assists and two rebounds as well. Junior guard Fred Crowell and sophomore guard Keyshawn Johnson both scored in doublefigures combining for 27 points in total. Devonish has been the driving force behind Wise’s success as of late due to his explosiveness, court vision, and silky-smooth jump shot.

The six-foot, 180-pound guard, is currently averaging over 20 points per game as the team’s primary scoring threat.

Local Chef Adds Special Ingredient to D.C.’s Favorite Sauce

Prince George’s County High School Basketball

Dr. Henry A. Wise Jr. High School, located in Upper Marlboro, Md., is known for having a stellar athletics program. The football team has garnered most of the school’s attention after recently winning its third consecutive 4A football title. The boys’ basketball program, however, is starting to reach new heights.

Led by head coach Rob Garner, the Pumas (10-2) were riding on an nine-game win streak before falling to Boys and Girls High School located in Brooklyn, NY on Jan. 13 by the score of 82-75 in a game requiring two overtime periods to finish.

Wise’s only losses this season came at the hands of Upper Marlboro, Md.-based Riverdale Baptist School by the score of 59-52 on Dec. 12 and to Boys and Girls. Wise has won every divisional match this season including a 29-point performance (88-59) against Springdale, Md.-based Charles

Ken Roberts rolled into the parking lot of Hyattsville Elementary School shortly before noon on Jan. 16 and unloaded about 30 grocery bags of fresh vegetables that would be retrieved by school children later that afternoon.

“We are just sharing the love of Jesus,” Roberts, 56, a deacon at the Hyattsvillebased University Park Church of Christ, told the AFRO. “The Bible says love thee with all your heart and your strength.”

Roberts, who is a retired Giant Food’s worker, said his church is part of a network of congregations that distribute food collected by Pastor Ben Slye of the Christian Life Church in Riverdale, Md. Twice a month drivers for the church collect unused food from the various institutions that will be given out to the poor.

University Park Elder Cleve Behler said that the congregation is involved in food distribution, housing the homeless and supporting the Prince George’s Day Center. In addition, the church also served breakfast to the Northwestern High School football team during the season.

Chef Capice Faulcon has made a living by selling Cannabis infused food products.

Micha Green Special to The AFRO When it comes to local cuisine, many Washingtonians would argue that there’s nothing more D.C. than the sweet, tangy flavor of mumbo sauce. Capice Faulcon, head chef at Black Squirrel in the Adams Morgan neighborhood in the Northwest quadrant of the city has made it his mission to elevate the standard carry-out sauce with marijuana, and in doing so, he plans to make a major imprint on the local culinary scene.

“You know mumbo sauce is technically not really from D.C. It’s from Chicago.

But it basically came to D.C… and has become that symbolized sauce that people love about D.C. And I wanted to bring my version of mumbo sauce,” Faulcon told the AFRO.

Faulcon settled in D.C. from Richmond, Va. a decade ago and has been working his way up, and paying his dues at local restaurants, such as Copycat, a Chinese food restaurant located on H Street in Northwest D.C.

Copycat every Friday, after he perfected sauce, but due to difference about the vision of the restaurant and menu, he had to stop selling them.

“I never gave up on my sauce,” Faulcon said.

“After leaving Copycat, and just being in this business, sometimes you get tired of working and not having your own thing... so it was

“D.C. has made me the guy who has the infused mumbo sauce.”

— Caprice Faulcon “When I became the chef at Copycat, what inspired me was being in a Chinese restaurant working with the dumplings, skewers, and baos, and I was like, ‘Why can’t we have chicken wings here?’ So I studied mumbo sauce,” Faulcon said.

The primary is June 26 and the winner will be on the ballot for the Nov. 6 general election.

Miller is a graduate of Strayer University and did further studies at Howard University. He served on the Capitol Heights Town Council from 2002-2006, served as mayor from 20062010, and was re-elected to the council in 2014.

On Jan. 4, 2012, Miller was sentenced to two years of supervised probation, ordered to pay a $2,000 fine, and serve 300 hours of community service by the Anne Arundel Circuit Court for violation of campaign finance laws for using campaign funds for personal use.

Miller is an entrepreneur and serves as the president of the Capitol Heights-Seat Pleasant Boys & Girls Club and is active with the pro-Black male organization, Men Aiming Higher.

His family worships at Mount Jezreel Baptist Church in Silver Spring, Md. Miller said Suitland and Temple Hills will “get taken care of” in terms of getting resources but he wants other parts of the District 7 to be included. His platform includes bringing

economic development to the district.

“I want our economic development of District 7 to be more pointed,” he said. “There should be a direct strategy to bring businesses, jobs, and training programs to the residents. I would like to increase scholarship support for young people, adults,

and returning citizens who want to be educated.”

Miller said he would work toward establishing a District 7 grant to help residents go to school for free, whether it is vocational or academic in focus. He said expanding the enterprise zone with tax credits as incentives for businesses will help boost the district’s economy, which will be a priority if elected to the council.

Miller wants to make sure veterans’ medical and employment needs are met and that the municipalities in District 7 are appreciated and respected. “I want to be sure that they are supportive of what I am trying to do and I want to serve as a go-to guy for them on the council,” he said. “When municipalities do well, the whole district benefits.”

Miller also expressed interest in bringing urban farming to District 7. “Urban farming is the best way to attack food deserts like the one we have in Capitol Heights,” he said. “Urban farming can be used to teach people how to eat and live better.”

Miller said his previous experience serving as a mayor would be an asset as a council member, which is largely a legislative position. “As mayor, I learned the importance of collaboration and partnership,” he said. He said working with other mayors of municipalities he was able to increase the fees from 10 percent to 25 percent on development projects and get more than $1 million for Capitol Heights in the form of bonds that come from the Maryland General Assembly.

“You learn how to operate win-win and that’s how things get done,” he said. Miller said that working as the chief of staff for Maryland Del. Darryl Barnes (D-District 25) has also provided insight into the political process, helping him to understand Annapolis better.

District has marched in the parade and D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser (D) is no exception. When asked by the AFRO whether the parade was becoming too political and distracting from the life

Phil Mendelson (D) and D.C. Council members Vincent Gray (D-Ward 7), Elissa Silverman (I-At Large), Robert White (D-At Large), Kenyan McDuffie (D-Ward 5) and Trayon White (D-Ward 8). Parade observers noted that the Bowser contingent marched at the beginning of the procession, while Gray was several spaces behind with his supporters.

White told the AFRO that participating in the parade is part of his plans on King Day. “I go into the city and volunteer and I do this to recognize the legacy of Martin Luther King,” he said.

White agreed with Bowser that the parade is a political event saying “any event in D.C. is political and this is no different.”

The parade consisted of non-political entrants such as District public schools, dance troupes, Black Greek letter organizations such as Alpha Phi Alpha, Sigma Gamma Rho, and Iota Phi Theta, the U.S. Coast Guard, Gallaudet University, the University of the District of Columbia, the Smithsonian Anacostia Museum, and Angel Lost, an organization that is trying to find Relisha Rudd, a Black child that has been missing since March 1, 2014.

Trayon White was happy to be at the event. “This is a great day to honor a great man,” he told the AFRO. “I wish the route was larger but that is because of the city code but we won’t let that stop us.”

Candidates and emerging political leaders participated in the parade, too. Sheika Reid is a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Ward 1 council member on June 19 and told the AFRO why she marched. “We live in One DC,” Reid said. “We all want to live in a prosperous city and that should be throughout the city, not just one community.”

Reid, a native Washingtonian, said the evet is one of the District’s historic traditions and should continue “because the parade is about social justice.”

Obviously, they have been spending some time together, and for them to be on the same page on the court and have that speed in the backcourt, they can be dangerous.�

Johnson had a season-high of 11 points against Flowers, and he is a valuable asset to this team. Devonish has the ball in his hands most of the time (and for a good reason), but these three players are keeping the Pumas state championship hopes alive. Devonish led all scorers with 27 points against Boys and Girls.

Last season Wise (21-1) lost to Gaithersburg, Md.-based Quince Orchard High School in the State Semifinals 55-52. However, the Pumas believe that they have enough firepower to get to the 4A championship game this time around.

carryouts. “Everybody knows the simple steps of what a mumbo sauce is basically, Ketchup, Sugar, Vinegar, Paprika, Water, and Hot Sauce. I switched mine. I wanted to be more Asian fusion with D.C. flare,� he said. In addition, to mixing the ingredients, Faulcon slow cooks the sauce for about two-and-a-half hours, keeping the temperature lower than 200 degrees.

Still, with a tasty product and positive reviews, Faulcon felt like he had not made his mark in D.C. cuisine. “We had no money. We were basically taking paychecks for rent‌ and I told them, ‘This is going to be the symbol of our company,’â€? the 34-year-old said when he presented the idea of infusing marijuana in mumbo sauce to his friends.

Calling the business, Highly Creative, Faulcon, along with his business partners, Maddie Fanning and Dani Ramirez, launched their mumbo sauce product on Halloween of 2017.

Since its launch date, the sauce has become a favorite among local cannabis connoisseurs. According to Faulcon, the business makes around 2,000-4,000 sale per week. “D.C. has made me the guy who has the infused mumbo sauce. The first to do it in the city,� Faulcon said.

Along with mumbo sauce, the company also sells edible

treats such as gummies, truffles, drinks, chips, weed pops and infused candy bars. Faulcon, said he hopes that people look beyond what they know about cannabis culture when considering his products.

Wise senior guard Sherwyn Devonish scored 27 points against Boys and “We’re not hippies,� he said. “We’re just Girls High School (Brooklyn, N.Y.) on Jan. 13. people who enjoy the quality of life with marijuana.�

Further, Faulcon said his business means even more as a Black man. “It’s already labeled for Black men to be murderers, and killers, and thugs... We have pride, we have ambitions, we have things we want to go out and get, but we’re so limited because they tell us that we’re limited,� he said.

While it’s not legal to sell infused mumbo sauce and other treats, Faulcon attends marijuana events where the product can be gifted. For now, cannabis enthusiasts over 21 can go to Black Squirrel Thursdays for their weekly event where Highly Creative products are gifted and displayed. “ Never be scared to come out to these events because at the end of the day it’s about getting the medication that you need, Data as of Jan. 17 Faulcon told the AFRO.

Veteran Actress Penny Johnson Jerald Stars in Seth MacFarlane’s ‘The Orville’

By Nadine Matthews Special to the AFRO Her recent quick jaunt to the Adobe Guadalupe vineyards in Mexico with her husband of thirty-plus years notwithstanding, actress Penny Johnson Jerald considers herself a Champagne person. “We just went to the vineyards there for the weekend. I’m a Champagne person.” She tells the AFRO, “I can start with wine and that’s probably the limit. I know nothing about anything else.”

Johnson Jerald certainly knows about having longevity in a

Penny Johnson Jerald is one of the stars of Fox’s ‘The Orville.’ tough industry. Having been featured on some of the most iconic series in modern television such as “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine,” “24,” “Castle” and HBO’s “The Larry Sanders Show,” the Juilliard trained Johnson Jerald has one of the most recognizable faces on television. Born and raised in Baltimore County, she is the second of six children.

“We were the first ones to try that integration thing. It was actually good. Because my mother, they didn’t know what she was it was, I guess, more comforting we thought for her, until they found out she wasn’t what they thought she was. Then it was ‘Okay, how do we categorize these people?’ because no one really called people biracial then.” Her parents got married as teens and stayed together for twenty-one years. Though divorced, they remain friends.

Though similar to one of Johnson Jerald previous vehicles “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine,” her latest project, is set on a spaceship as opposed to a space station.

“The Orville” was created by, and stars, Seth MacFarlane who is also the creator of the animated comedy “Family Guy.” This might lead you to believe the show is a comedy but that would be somewhat wrong. “It is a dramedy sprinkled with funny. It’s not funny ha ha ha. It’s like

“Larry Sanders” in science fiction. We get to say things that you’re thinking that would make things funny, but the situation itself is something that’s real to life and then sometimes we go into the real science fiction.

We’re conversation starters.”

The show deals with a host of issues like religion, motherhood, gender, marriage, and adultery that are tackled with intelligence and levity in equal measure by an ensemble cast that includes MacFarlane himself as the captain and Johnson Jerald as the Chief Medical Officer. Dr. Claire Finn. As improbable as it seems at first glance, Johnson Jerald didn’t have to audition for the role. MacFarlane, who also exec produces the Neil DeGrasse Tyson hosted “Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey,” was a fan of her work and reached out to her. She explains, “It was to my surprise that he was actually a fan of a lot of the shows that I’ve been a part of like “Star Trek,” “Larry Sanders” and “24.’”

Johnson Jerald tells us that MacFarlane “has managed to put together a character that I am very proud of.” Dr. Claire Finn is the voice of reason on a ship where the other characters sometimes tend to be tripped up by their emotions. She is also a fully-fleshed out, multifaceted individual.

Johnson laughs as she explains, “I never know what’s going to happen to Claire. I’m happy that she is a mother and that makes her more grounded. I love grounded characters. I get to be tough. They call us “chick-asses”. I never use foul language but that word seems to be one of empowerment.”

Shooting the series has been challenging. “We worked extremely long hours,” she says, “And didn’t have weekends off for some time but it was so worth it. We weren’t trying to have any episodes that were fillers. You want to make something that’s meaningful and you don’t want to take your audience for granted so you have to put the work in.”

Part of the fun of “The Orville” is that it populated with a menagerie of aliens types with which sci-fi fans are familiar as well as introducing some new ones. Several members of the core team on the U.S.S. Orville are non-earthlings. The genuine camaraderie of the cast is evident. Johnson Jerald confirms that they, “Not only like each other on the set but we have a group text where we’re always talking to each other all eight us as a group. We’re wishing happy birthday or whatever it is we’re doing and I just think that’s very special.”

“The Orville” broadcasts on Fox and episodes are on demand at major digital platforms.

‘Merê’ is one of five films that will be screened at Motor House as part of the Fespaco West series.

The Fespaco West film series -Brazil will be screened at Motor House starting Jan. 19.

The entire program is intended to provide a “panorama of the recent film production in the country,” says the Motor House website and includes samplings of documentary and dramatic works.

people.”

Merê, by Urânia Munzanzu (2017, 15 min), is “A film that speaks about female protagonism in the Jeje Mahi tradition, religious tradition, and faith in transatlantic bridges.”

Deus (Vinicius Silva, 2016, 25 min), is a films that “aims to expose the

adversities that impregnate the daily lives of black women from the outskirts of São Paulo.”

Jerusa’s Day, by Vivane Ferreira, (2014, 20 min) is a movie that “aims at dealing, in a delicate way, with the matter of the loneliness.”

There’s a larger opportunity for attendees of the festival, beyond a couple of hours of entertainment, said Omar Akbar, cultural ambassador to Burkina Faso and grand marshal for the Burkina Faso FESPACO festival.

“It’s an opportunity for filmmakers to be seen and an opportunity for the people of Baltimore to take part.” Akbar told the AFRO. Akbar sees an opportunity for the people of Baltimore to participate in the “global village” of the African diaspora. While the sample of films come solely from Brazil, the issues of class, race, and gender are related to the experiences of Baltimore, he says.

Following the screening, a discussion will be led by Janaína Oliveira, coordinator of FICINE (Black Cinema Itinerant Forum) a Fulbright scholar and researcher at Howard University.

Motor House is located at 120 West North Ave. The screening is at 7:30 p.m.

Doors will open at 7 p.m.

“I think for them, they had been at IBM for a while. They were making good money, but they weren’t passionate about it.

According to the Baltimore Police Department (BPD), officers responded to a 7-11 convenience store in the 300 block of N. Charles St., around 1:10 a.m, after witnessing a robbery in progress on a CitiWatch camera.

According to BDP, monitors of the CitiWatch cameras located the robbery almost immediately and officers responded within a minute.

shows you who they are believe them; the first time.”

So, last week when Trump disparaged Haitians and referred to African nations as, “sh*thole countries,” he already had me at the Central Park Five.

Obviously, Donald Trump is a racist.

Yet, there are too many White Americans who don’t come to the same conclusion and probably never will.

America’s racist right wing has perfected a simple, but insidious defense of racist behavior; maybe it should be called racism denial derangement syndrome. One of the best examples of this foolishness occurred right here in Maryland in 2013 during the CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference), held at of all places, The National Harbor in Prince George’s County, the wealthiest Black county in America.

That year, one of the panels was titled, “Trump the Race Card: Are You Sick and Tired of Being Called a Racist and You Know You’re Not One.” I suspect the title was seen as a pithy play on Trump’s position as king of the birther movement, but it turned out to be a serendipitous instance of foreshadowing.

Nevertheless, the discussion was moderated by K. Carl Smith, a Black man and self-described, “Frederick Douglass Republican.”

At one point during the discussion Smith said, “When

Douglass came through slavery...he wrote a letter, a letter to his former slave master and said: ‘I forgive you for all the things you did to me.’” And that is when Scott Terry, allegedly a former student at Towson University, interjected, “For giving him shelter and food for all those years?”

Other Whites gathered for the forum gasped in horror, while Smith, the so-called, Frederick Douglass Republican and the only Black person in sight, calmly tried to deescalate the situation.

Terry attended the CPAC conference with Matthew Heimbach, the White nationalist who founded the White Student Union at Towson University (Heimbach was also the tough White boy who shoved a young Black woman protester at a Trump rally in Louisville, Ky., in March 2016).

The point is, even the most virulent racist, when deploying the denial derangement tactic, will find a willing Black or Blacks to provide cover.

On Jan. 12, the day after he made the sh*thole countries comment, Trump had the audacity to deliver a speech and sign a proclamation honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. during a White House event.

And as he has often done in the past, Trump turned to his ever loyal, yet shrinking, circle of White House Negroes,

comforting as Mammy’s bosom in times of racial strife. Among them was Uncle Ben Carson, Trump’s secretary of HUD. There was also Isaac Newton Farris, Jr., Dr. King’s nephew (just to add more insult to injury).Then there was Trump’s enforcer, the right Rev. Darrell Scott, of Cleveland.

When White House reporter April Ryan (a proud Baltimore native) said, “Mr. President, are you a racist?” It was Scott who answered, “no,” in defense of his president. Then, when Ryan replied, “I wasn’t talking to you.” Scott immediately scoffed, “Well, I was talking to you.”

Just before Trump exited the room, there was Paris Dennard, the Black conservative commentator, who appeared to whisper sweet nothings into Trump’s ear as he embraced him.

Perhaps, he said something like, `Hug me Mr. President, dat way dat mean ol fake news can’t call you a racist no mo.’

Then Trump exited leaving Ryan’s question unanswered.

But, the truth is everybody knows the answer to Ryan’s question, even if they want to deny it.

a letter written by a suspect which he read aloud as part of an investigation.

Oglesby did not return calls for comment.

All the allegations are part of a broader federal discrimination lawsuit filed by Sewell, Savage and Green, which was joined by the Department of Justice. The lawsuit claims Oglesby’s office played a role in retaliating against Savage after he complained about a hostile work environment on a Worcester County Drug task force.

Savage was detailed to the specialized unit in 2014. Throughout his assignment he alleges he was subject to racist texts, found a food stamp with Barack Obama’s picture on his desk, and was taken to so-called “KKK lane” by members of the unit. The lawsuit also claims Pocomoke officials fired Sewell in June of 2016 after he refused to terminate Savage when an investigation by Maryland State Police found an officer in the task force

had violated internal policies by sending racially charged texts .(Full disclosure, this reporter wrote a book with Sewell).

The appointment was met with skepticism by members of the Maryland Legislative Black Caucus.

“We’re not just concerned, we’re outraged,” said Del. Cheryl Glenn, chair of the caucus. “We plan to discuss this with the governor this week.”

But it also elicited a rebuke from gubernatorial candidate and former NAACP president Ben Jealous.

“Larry Hogan’s appointment of State’s Attorney Beau Oglesby continues a troubling pattern, where time and again Hogan’s nominees have made troubling statements or actions that should make us wonder if they are committed to equal protection and treatment under the law for all Marylanders,” Jealous said.

In an email a spokesperson for Hogan responded by noting that a federal judge ruled that Oglesby had prosecutorial immunity from the lawsuit, and that Oglesby received letters of support from other law enforcement officials.

“The Judicial Nominating Commission, which is responsible for vetting potential

“We’re not just concerned, we’re outraged.”

– Del. Cheryl Glenn judges, approved and recommended this candidate, and he has the nearly unanimous support of elected officials from both parties on the Eastern Shore, as well as bipartisan support from prosecutors and law enforcement officials across the state,” Hogan spokeswoman Amelia Chasse wrote in an email.

One of those supporters, State Prosecutor Emmitt Davit, is part of another facet of the case that also raised concerns among Sewell’s supporters.

Davit indicted Sewell a year after he filed the EEOC complaint against Oglesby. The case was based upon a 2014 automobile accident involving an African-American driver who hit two parked cars. A Worcester County jury convicted Sewell in 2016 for misconduct in office for failing to charge him for leaving the scene, even though the driver called police after he drove his car two blocks

from the accident to his home.

But the timing of the case and the legal theory that Sewell was criminally culpable for exercising officer discretion prompted several amici filings in an upcoming appeal, charging that Davitt’s case was retaliatory.

Bolstering the allegations were emails uncovered during the trial that revealed Oglesby was involved in the investigation, corresponding with Davit’s office and even pointing investigators to the accident and providing documents to bolster the case. “(Maryland State Prosecutor) did not ask Oglesby about any particular incident, but rather put forth an open-ended query inviting Oglesby to conduct his own investigation to identify incidents that could be characterized as improper in some way. This is exactly what Oglesby did, compiling a list of four incidents that he shared with OSP, including the accident that ultimately formed the basis for OSP’s criminal charges,” according to the brief filed by the Civil Rights Law Clinic of Howard University Law School.

Co-director of the clinic, Amij Quereshi, says Oglesby’s appointment raises troubling questions about the fairness of the justice system and the ability of victims of discrimination to seek justice.

“The selective prosecution of Chief Sewell fits into a long pattern of troubling and discriminatory behavior against African Americans on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. It is extremely disturbing that the Governor would appoint Mr. Oglesby despite these allegations and without a thorough inquiry into his role in this episode,” Querishi said.

No officers were injured.

“Absolute, sheer amazement that no officer was shot during this incident,” said Baltimore Police Chief Spokesman T. J. Smith during a Jan. 16 press conference.

According to the officers, both suspects took off on foot and ran in opposite directions.

Police are unsure if either suspect was injured by gunfire and are checking local hospitals for walk in victims with gunshot wounds.

Multiple residents, who live above the 7-11 , said they were awakened by the gunshots and didn’t know what was happening at first “It was literally right outside our window,” said resident John Leppler. “I saw the guns fired by the police officers and saw them sprinting up the street.”

“It was kind of disbelief, to be honest with you...definitely scary,” he said. “Baltimore City’s finest, right here, in a serious gun fight.”

He said he did not see any suspects.

Residents interviewed by police said this particular 7-11 was robbed multiple times in 2017.

Police blocked off a large section of N. Charles, which was closed until 9:00 a.m. Jan. 16 and placed numerous evidence markers near multiple shell casings at the crime scene.

“This situation is “absolutely disturbing....These two bad guys didn’t have a care in the world,” said Smith.

The street is now open at Saratoga and N. Charles but the 7-11 remains closed.

“The store managers are very kind and don’t deserve to be targeted his way,” said Naomi Alfred, the building manager. “I’m thankful that one one was hurt.”

“This is unfortunately the norm here in Baltimore City, which is just horrible.”

During the surveillance video shown at the press conference Jan. 16,only minimal descriptions of the suspects were provided.

The first suspect is described as a tall male wearing a mask and dark coat. The second suspect was described as a shorter man wearing all black with a white scarf tied around his face.

There has been a reward offered for those that have information leading to the arrest of both suspects. The ATF, along with the FBI of Baltimore, and Metro Crime Stoppers are offering $24,000.

Police said the investigation is ongoing and anyone with any information should call police at 410-366-6341.

the club was the disco, where some of the top DJ’s in the city performed and upstairs was a supper club. Gatsby’s attracted some of the top music acts of the era including Gloria Gaynor and Phyllis Hyman.

“Her first love was that Gatsby’s experience,” Mason said.

Gardner and her partners also were owners of the Ritz nightclub, which occupied the old Playboy club on Light St., in downtown Baltimore, which attracted partygoers from Baltimore, Washington, D.C. and other locations in the MidAtlantic. “After disco died, it (ownership of Gatsby’s and the Ritz), became financially unsustainable,” according to Mason.

After Gatsby’s and the Ritz closed, Gardner moved to Jamaica for a period of time. Years later, in 1998 she obtained a second Master’s degree from Johns Hopkins University.

She later began another career, this time as an educator teaching in the Baltimore City Public Schools for 17 years.

Gardner taught science to students at the Laurence G. Pacquin School, as well as Booker T. Washington Middle School until her retirement in 2015.

Gardner was an accomplished graphic artist, a skilled writer, she enjoyed travel and was a member of the Delta Sigma Theta sorority.

She leaves to mourn: her sister Elise Jude Mason, an attorney; her nephew Fred D. Mason, III, an architect; two grand nephews and many first and second cousins.
