CELEBRATING WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH

Hon. Eddie Bernice Johnson

During the month of March we celebrate Women’s History Month and honor the courageous women in our history who have marched, organized, and advanced the promise of equality, including such giants as Susan B. Anthony, Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Ida B. Wells and others who are forgotten in the suffragist movement that helped win the fight for women’s right to vote.

Additionally, this year, 2017, marks the 100th anniversary of women serving in Congress.

And this year we celebrate the 100th anniversary of Jeannette Rankin, the first woman Member of Congress and a suffragette, being sworn into office.

She was sworn into office three years before women nationwide were guaranteed the right to vote.

I am appreciative of women from all industries that continue to be hardworking, courageous, bold, and persistent in achieving at the highest levels in their field.

Women continue to hold leadership positions and act with integrity when we continue to fight against barriers of inequality in the

2

work place, schools and employment.

Additionally, women have shown the world their ability to mobilize in large numbers, as seen in the Women’s March on Washington and across the nation, that we cannot and will not be silenced when it comes to those who want to stifle women’s rights.

Women refuse to continuously be overlooked and deserve to have a voice on issues that impact them individually and their families.

Although Black History Month came to an end, we can still take

woman from a southern state, unlike her predecessor from the North – Shirley Chisholm, who was also the first African American and woman to run for the United States president.

Through the use of her unmatched oratory skills and extensive knowledge of the Constitution, Jordan fought for the expansion of federal civil rights protections during her service in the United States House of Representatives.

Another notable woman from Texas is Ann Richards. She made

Additionally, women have shown the world their ability to mobilize in large numbers, as seen in the Women’s March on Washington and across the nation, that we cannot and will not be silenced when it comes to those who want to stifle women’s rights. the time to praise the exemplary efforts of women like Barbara Jordan for continuing to persevere in her civic engagement efforts.

In 1966, she would become the first African American to be a Texas state senator since1883.

Later in 1972, Jordan would be elected to serve in the United States Congress ultimately making her the first African American

waves at the Democratic National Convention in 1988 when she delivered a rousing keynote address.

The speech transformed her, then the Texas treasurer, into a national figure; and it made her an admired champion of feminism and civil rights for minorities and members of the LGBT community.

Richards first ran for governor

issuu.com/bitsandpieces

in 1990 calling for a “New Texas” that would offer more opportunity and power to those groups.

As governor, she went on to become one of the most effective in a long line of Texas progressives who vied for control of the state when it was largely a Democratic stronghold.

Among other achievements, she fulfilled her campaign promise to bring more blacks, Hispanics and women into public office.

She appointed the first black regent to the University of Texas and installed the first blacks and women on the state’s legendary police force, the Texas Rangers.

As we celebrate the many victories that women have won, we must keep fighting to make more progress.

There are many steps that need to be taken to expand the economic opportunities available to America’s women.

In recent years, my colleagues and I have been fighting to enact such critical legislation as ensuring equal pay for equal work, expanding the availability of affordable child care, a paid sick leave initiative, and a paid family leave initiative.

I will continue to make this a priority by showing young girls and women that they deserve to be placed anywhere they desire, especially in the STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) field.

57 YEARS OF SERVING THE CHURCH AND COMMUNITY Care or Health Scare Plan

by Debra Blair Abron dabron@ymail.com Many Americans are in limbo about what will happen to their current health coverage if Obamacare is repealed and replaced

by President Trump’s new health plan coverage.

Democrats are fighting an uphill battle to prevent a Republican plan backed by President Donald Trump to overhaul the U.S. healthcare system, even as the legislation also drew fire from a top medical group and dissatisfied conservatives.

Two House of Representatives committees began debating the new

Trump Care Health Plan bill and considering amendments two days after it was unveiled by Republican leaders.

The goal: to dismantle and replace the Obamacare law they call a government overreach that has ruined healthcare in America.

Many doctors and other providers said the Trump Health Care bill would probably cause many patients to lose insurance and raise healthcare costs. In a letter to key lawmakers, the American Medical Association urged them to reconsider its drastic changes to Med-

icaid, the government health insurance program for the poor.

The American Medical Association, which supported Obamacare, said that by replacing Obamacare with tax credits to help people buy insurance, the plan would make coverage more ex-

pensive and out of reach, for poor and sick Americans. Obamacare enabled 20 million previously uninsured people obtain medical coverage.

Not only does the AMA oppose the Trump Health Care bill, so does the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP).

Many Democrats have stated that Obamacare, succeeded in greatly expanding the number of Americans with medical insurance, and said the Trump Health Care bill would take it away from millions of people while benefiting the rich by repealing healthcare-related taxes.

This is scary for the poor and middle class Americans. It leaves you to wonder if we the American people are getting a new health care plan or a new health plan scare.

“Nevertheless, I will bring health and healing to it; I will heal my people and will let them enjoy abundant peace and security”. (Jeremiah 33:6)

57 YEARS OF SERVING THE CHURCH AND COMMUNITY

BILL PICKETT Bill Pickett 1870-1932 Bill Pickett was the most famous African American rodeo performer of all time, and the first black cowboy movie star. He invented a way of controlling steers called “bulldogging,” and became a star attraction of wild west shows.

Now known as “Steer Wrestling,” the event he created remains a popular part of rodeos to this day.

Early Entrepreneur Pickett was born in Travis County, Texas, in 1870, the second of 13 children. His parents were emancipated slaves. As was common for African Americans in the region, he also had Cherokee ancestry. The young Pickett showed an interest in animals, and after finishing fifth grade, began working as a ranch hand. He learned the skills required for a cowboy including riding horses and roping and herding cattle, combined with a temperamental toughness and resilience. Pickett excelled in all regards and was soon giving exhibitions, passing a hat for donations. By 1888, the family had settled in southwestern Texas near Taylor, and that year, Pickett performed in the town’s first fair. He and his brothers founded their own horse-breaking business called Pickett Bros. Bronco Busters and Rough

4

Riders Ass’n. Pickett became a deacon of the Baptist Church, joined the National Guard, and married Maggie Turner in 1890 with whom he would have nine children.

Stories vary as to how he invented bulldogging, but Pickett was surely inspired by the way ranch dogs would incapacitate much larger bulls by biting their lower lip or nose. In one version, a bull refused to let Pickett herd it into a corral, angering him so badly that he leapt from his horse, bit the bull’s lip, and wrestled it into submission.

Pickett’s five-foot seven-inch 145-pound frame relied on bravado and muscular power. One observer described him as “a man who outdoes the fiercest dog in utter brutality.” He combined this with a easy-going manner and humble attitude that made him popular with his coworkers. He performed throughout the south and as far as Wyoming and North Dakota in the late 1880s and into the 1900s under the management of independent rodeo promoters. His performance in 1904 at America’s most famous rodeo, the Cheyenne Frontier Days, was considered extraordinary. In 1905, he and a young Will Rogers appeared together at Madison Square Garden in New York, where they fought an out-of-control steer that jumped the fence into the audience.

Star of the 101 Ranch That year, Pickett signed on with Zack Miller’s 101 Ranch and Wild West Show in

Marland, Oklahoma. The ranch was a cattle operation of roughly 100,000 acres with 200 cowboys on staff, including many of the best wranglers in the west. Pickett became a fulltime employee in 1907 and relocated there with his family in 1908. The affiliated Wild West Show was also the preeminent show of the era. Such luminaries as Buffalo Bill Cody, Tom Mix, and Will Rogers had appeared with the 101, and Pickett, billed as the “Dusky Demon,” quickly became its star attraction. An account from a local newspaper described Pickett’s style in this way: “The steer lunged into the arena…

Pickett’s horse plunged full speed after it… the rider leaped from the saddle. He turned a complete somersault along the length of the steer’s back, flying out and down over the curved horns… to fasten his teeth in the side of the steer’s mouth.

With sheer strength he dragged the fuming behemoth’s head to the tan-bark, thrust its horn in the ground, and forward momentum threw the steer hocks over horns in a somersault of its own.” The dangerous practice

issuu.com/bitsandpieces

would evolve into the current form of Steer Wrestling, but Pickett was a celebrity for it in his time. In addition to performing throughout the United States, he was seen in Canada, Argentina, England, and Mexico.

His performance in Mexico in 1908 nearly started a riot. Miller bet $5,000 on Pickett’s ability to bulldog a Mexican fighting bull before a crowd of over 25,000. Pickett succeeded in holding on for fully seven minutes, flung around like a rag doll on the bull’s back, but the onlookers took offense at what they deemed a desecration of their national sport. They threw bottles, stones, knives, and cans, wounding Pickett and his horse. President Porfirio Diaz, seeing the potential for an actual riot, called in the army under whose protection Pickett escaped.

Pickett was often barred from competing with white cowboys and would, therefore, represent himself as Cherokee. At the same time, he became the star of several western films including one about African American cowboys; the advertising described him as the “World’s Colored Champion,” and the “Colored Hero of the Mexican Bull Ring in Death Defying Feats of Courage and Skill.” He retired

from rodeo soon after 1916, bought a small ranch of his own, and eased into a wellearned retirement. When he heard that the 101 Ranch was having financial problems, he signed back on to help his former colleagues. It was there in 1932 that he was kicked in the head by a stallion while roping horses. He died 11 days later from a fractured skull.

Miller buried him at a nearby monument, calling him the “greatest sweat-and-dirt cowhand that ever lived, bar none.” His tombstone says simply “Bill Pickett – C.S.C.P.A.,” placed there by the Cherokee Strip Cow Punchers Association, and his funeral was announced by Will Rogers on his national radio show with the homily “Bill Pickett never had an enemy, even the steers wouldn’t hurt old Bill.” By the time of his death, he had entertained millions of fans worldwide.

In 1971, Pickett was the first African American admitted to the National Rodeo Hall of Fame. And in 1989, he was inducted into the Prorodeo Hall of Fame and Museum of the American Cowboy. The only touring African American rodeo in the United States is named the Bill Pickett Invitational Rodeo.

A sculpture showing him bulldogging a steer is displayed at the Fort Worth, Texas, Cowboy Coliseum, and the postage stamp with his image honors legends of America’s Old West in which African American cowboys played a vital part.

57 YEARS OF SERVING THE CHURCH AND COMMUNITY ANTHEM STRONG FAMILIES PRESENTS: A SAFE PLACE: REAL MEN/REAL TALK “A SAFE PLACE: REAL MEN/REAL TALK” follows the resounding success of Anthem Strong Families (ASF) 2016 Dallas premier of the documentary Spit’in Anger.

The searing film by producer Kenneth Braswell, focuses on the devastating effects fatherlessness has on boys.

During the expert panel discussion stories of anger, retribution and forgiveness filled the theatre.

ASF CEO Cosette Bowles determined that more must be done to give men an opportunity to discuss issues of manhood and fatherhood.

MARCH 10, 2017

“There are more than 180,000 children in Dallas County living without their biological father and the repercussions are absolutely devastating. Fatherlessness leads to many social ills including teenage pregnancy, high school dropout, drug abuse, incarceration and many others. We want to provide a forum for men to discuss issues of fatherhood in a safe place— whether your father was present or not, and take a deep dive into what it means to be men of integrity and responsibility,” Bowles says. “Women are also affected by father’s absence and we will provide a forum specifi-

cally for women as well.”

A SAFE PLACE: REAL MEN/ REAL TALK will be held one Saturday per month at the J. Erik Jonsson Central Library, 1515 Young Street, 11:002:00pm.

Lunch is provided.

The event will begin with a showing of the documentary, Spit’in Anger and feature a myriad of influential speakers who will discuss the many nuances of fatherhood, including growing up without dads, supervising youth who grow up without fathers present in the home; what happens when mothers are gatekeepers and how fatherless-
