The History

Congradulations to the Class Of 2017 The 42nd Annual Elite News Awards Night Hornoring Those We Serve Welcome to the 42nd Annual Elite News Awards Night. It was 42 years ago, that God gave William Blair Jr., founder of the Elite News, a vision to honor those men and women in the City of Dallas and surrounding areas who went above and beyond to do what they could to serve their communities. Not only did Mr. Blair have this vision, but it was his beautiful wife and the wind beneath his wings, Mozelle Jordan Blair, who helped with efforts in honoring those individuals, who not only said what they could do for the community but they actually followed through. Through their efforts a significant change occurred.

Because of their great efforts Mr. Blair wanted to not only congratulate these individuals but do so, so the entire community could come and honor them as well for their contributions to their communities. With this vision in mind Mr. Blair honored the first recipients at The First African American Awards Night, held at Mt. Calvary Baptist Church, in Oak Cliff in 1975.

Over the years Mr. Blair searched the communities to find individuals who he felt deserved this honor. It has been an honor for The Elite News to celebrate over a 1000 individuals over the years. It is with great honor, that we, at the Elite News, continue the legacy Mr. Blair set forth and honor the following recipients this year, Crystal Mitchell, the Honorable Elizabeth Frizell, Constable Roy Williams, Jennifer Fulbright, Mark York, Sherman Roberts, Sandra Clark, Rev. T. C. Marshall, Domingo Garcia, Derric Taylor, Leon Zeno, Reginald Beaudoin, Rev. Marlon Duncan, Dr. David Harris, Byron D. Rose II, Todd Peterman, Rev. Michael Clerkly, Robert Ashley, and the Honorable Tennell Adkins.

Thank you all, for all you have done and continue to do, to better your communities.

To those of you, who have joined us tonight, to help celebrate these Community Hero’s, we at the Elite News, thank you for your continued support that you have given over the years. you!

We thank God for each and every one of your efforts, and we pray He continues to Bless each and every one of

Self-control, an aspect of inhibitory control, is the ability to regulate one’s emotions, thoughts, and behavior in the face of temptations and impulses. As an executive function, self-control is a cognitive process that is necessary for regulating one’s behavior in order to achieve specific goals.

We Are Survivors

Survivor of childhood molestation,rape and domestic violence C e l e b r a t i n g 5 7 Ye a r s

It wasn’t until the end of my relationship with my ex-husband that things turned physical. When I realized that one of us was going to die, I knew I needed to leave. I met him in college in the early ‘90s. He was the captain of the football team. From early on, he was very controlling and verbally and emotionally abusive. “You’re stupid,” he’d say. “No one else is going to want to be with you.” It was my first adult relationship, and I didn’t realize love wasn’t meant to feel like that. The verbal assaults turned physical. It started off with yelling and pushing. Then the pushing got harder.

I decided to leave for the night. He flew into this rage and from the look in his eyes; I just knew that something was different. He grabbed me by my hair and pulled me back into the house. He ordered our two kids to go upstairs. Once we were inside, he started punching me. We were in the laundry room and he grabbed shoes and boots and used them to hit me in the face. He jumped on my ribcage and cracked my rib. He strangled me until I saw stars. I was sure I was going to die. He pulled me into the living room and pointed his gun at me for hours. He loaded and unloaded it, ranting about what was wrong with me. The next morning, the first thing he said was that I owed him an apology for almost making him kill me. He didn’t let me leave the house for three days because of all the bruises. After I was allowed to leave the house again, he warned me that if I told anyone or

left him, he would hunt me down. He was going to shoot me. He was going to paralyze me. He was going to throw acid on my face. He was going to slit my throat. It worked. I didn’t tell a single person for five months.

I knew if I did leave, he was capable of following through with the threats he was making. I was paralyzed with fear. Before the severe physical abuse, my reasons for staying were different.

I thought I could still try to make the relationship work, and that it was better for the kids to have both parents. I talked myself into putting up with his behavior.

But once the physical abuse accelerated, it was pure fear that kept me there. And that fear kept me silent for a long time. Finally, I came to an epiphany. I realized that either he was going to kill me or I was going to kill him. I was always on edge, planning how to defend myself if he attacked me with a gun. I broke my silence and told my mom what was happening. We quickly began making an exit plan. My mom opened up a bank account for me and I started putting money into it. When I was at work, I would go online and research resources. On my lunch break, I’d run home and take little things I knew I needed, personal items, clothes, photos and bring them to my mom’s house. I made copies of all my important documents and put them back in their place. In the three weeks between

when I told her and when I fled, we made all the preparations we could. In November, I filed for a protection order. The day it was going to be served, I picked my kids up from school and took off to my sister’s in Canada. I knew it was too dangerous to be near him after leaving. He was completely blindsided. He thought he was 100 percent in control of me, and that he would have that control forever. But he was wrong. I escaped. When I returned to our town a few weeks later, I had a new place to live. I never returned to him.

It’s important to emphasize here that I did exactly what people say you should do. I left. I contacted a domestic violence resource center. I made a safety plan.

I filed a restraining order. I found somewhere else to live. My employer moved me to a new building so my ex couldn’t find me. But still I wasn’t safe. Actually, things got much worse.

People always say, “Why don’t you just leave?” They fail to understand that leaving doesn’t necessarily stop the abuse. Women are at the highest risk of being killed when they leave their abusive partners. Leaving means opening yourself up to incredible danger. Once he lost his sense of control over me, things escalated. He immediately began stalking me. He would drive by my house. Call me over and over and describe how he would kill me. The protection order did nothing to stop him. I can’t count how many

times he

By Wanda McKinley violated it. When I would call the police, they seemed almost annoyed. If you haven’t been assaulted, they’d say, there’s nothing we can do. Lots of times, they wouldn’t even come. One time, I came in to make a police report after a particularly scary incident, and the officer asked me why I was there.

I told him, and he said to me: “Well, what did you do? There’s always two sides of the story.” I was in tears. This was after a year of being threatened and stalked, and I was being blamed?

But then the officer noticed something outside the window. “What kind of car does your husband drive?” he asked me. “A black Toyota,” I said.

My ex was idling outside. At that point, a light bulb went on in the cop’s head. Eventually he went to prison for aggravated stalking. Since he’s been inside, he has told inmates that he is planning to kill me as soon as he gets out and that they will see him on the news one day soon. He was also caught trying to solicit inmates to murder me for $50,000. He will be eligible for parole in 12 months.

I left him, but I’m still terrified. No one should have to live like this.

If you have a survival story to tell, let me share it. If you have any questions please contact me, Wanda McKinley at 214-454-2933 and/or wearesurvivorsfoundation@gmail. com. Also visit us at www.wearesurvivorsfoundation.org

Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson Hosts the 22nd Annual Dallas Prayer Breakfast Featuring Reverend Dr. Michael W. Waters By: Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson

C e l e b r a t i n g 5 7 Ye a r s

Yesterday, Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson hosted her 22nd Annual Prayer Breakfast at the Music Hall in Fair Park. This year’s keynote address was given by award-winning author and activist, Reverend Dr. Michael W. Waters. In her opening remarks, Congresswoman Johnson spoke about finding strength in prayer and the importance of prayer now more than ever.

“We must pray for the strength to push forward and organize so that our voices can be heard,” said Congresswoman Johnson. “I believe in this country and I believe in each of you.

This is what democracy is all about- citizens getting involved, challenging ideas that are contrary to our values as a democratic nation, and working with their leaders to enact the change they wish to see.” The congresswoman also spoke on the importance of diversity and recognized it as one of our nation’s greatest strengths.

stand up for justice everywhere.

The breakfast was attended by approximately 100 leaders from the North Texas faith community. Clergy members from the Jewish, Muslim, and Christian communities gathered for the breakfast. The event served as a time for all the various leaders to offer prayers for the citizens of North Texas and discuss ways that the believers of different faiths could collaborate to better serve the citizens of their communities.

Reverend Dr. Waters delivered a rousing address that told the story of two Dallas[es]. His keynote address highlighted the economic and social disparity that exists today in Dallas (between the North and South). Before concluding his speech Reverend Dr. Waters challenged the ecumenical community in attendance and at-large to work to serve all communities and to
