A final push to get out the Black vote Clergy group, NAACP hosting major event to get residents registered

BY ANDREAS BUTLER DAYTONA TIMES

With the Oct. 11 deadline approaching to vote in the Nov. 8 election, local organizations are making their last pitches to get people registered.

The Daytona Beach Black Clergy Alliance and Volusia County /Daytona Beach NAACP have planned a voter registration event for Oct. 8.

“This will be a major voting registration push. We are wrap-

Stetson to address poverty and homelessness at conference Stetson University is presenting its 2016 Poverty and Homelessness Conference on Oct. 21 from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at its Rinker Field House, 421 N. Woodland Blvd., DeLand.

The keynote speaker at the conference will be Dr. Dana Godek, director of Federal and State Programs with the School District of Palm Beach County.

The third annual conference will provide culturally responsive strategies for educators and community partners to effectively reach students living in poverty.

In addition to illuminating the complexity of poverty and homelessness, this conference will provide educators and community partners with ideas to build and sustain equitable learning environments to improve students’ academic success and socialemotional wellbeing.

The following topics will be addressed: • Poverty awareness • Systems of inequity • Working with low-income families • Nutrition and health implications • Art integration and resiliency • Responsive curriculum and instruction strategies • Housing instability implications • Supporting English language learners in poverty • Empathy and inclusion • Supporting LGBTQ youth in poverty • School leadership practices Space for the conference is limited.

ping up the final details. Our preliminary site is Bethune-Cookman University. We will have field reps on hand as well,” said the Rev. Derrick Harris, president of the Black Clergy Alliance and pastor of Master’s Domain Church of God in Christ.

Cynthia Slater, president of the local NAAACP branch said, “We encourage large turnout. It’s very important. This is big. We can’t do it alone. Other organizations can’t do it alone. Together your reach is farther.”

‘Great stake’ in election The NAACP does voter registration year long.

Slater said, “We are the boots on the ground. We really pick it up during election years. Our office and executive committee staff keep voter registration forms on hand at all times. We even carry them in our cars. We encourage people to register and update their information all the time.”

However, the leaders addressed the issue of traditional low turn-

out in the Black community.

“Black people have a great stake in this election. It’s as important as both Barack Obama elections. We can’t sit back and take this one for granted. Those who don’t vote get what they ask for. Also, when you look at exit polls they don’t count Blacks as likely voters,” Slater commented.

Added Harris, “Many feel that their vote won’t count. Many feel forgotten. I believe that just because we’ve been taken for granted in the past, we shouldn’t not vote. We should vote and then hold our elected officials accountable to the pledges and

promises made to us.’’

He continued, “We are trying our best to get the students registered and out to the polls as well.

We have certain locations in the community where people can come register to vote. Cut Master’s Barber Shop is one.” Harris is the owner of the barber shop.

Slater reflected, “We really need our young people to come out and vote. Their demographic really isn’t showing up to the polls.”

New concert series drew hundreds monthly to Cypress Park

BY DAYTONA TIMES STAFF

The Midtown Motown Concert Series at Cypress Park in Daytona Beach came to a close last Saturday night. The event turned into a big party for attendees who danced to music by the band Pocket Change.

The Florida-based band is popular for its Motwn, funk, R&B, soul and dance music.

Over the summer, hundreds of local residents showed up to enjoy evenings of free entertainment at Midtown Motown, a new monthly concert series held at Cypress Park at the Midtown Cultural and Educational Center.

The family event in Daytona Beach was scheduled one Saturday each month starting in April.

Summer performers included The Love Band, Bartee, Linda Cole, and tribute bands.

“The venue was chosen for its convenience, parking, proximity to the Midtown CEC and opportunity for our children to be able to use the pool and recreational facilities during the event, Helen Riger, Daytona Beach’s Cultural Services and Community Events director, said early in the series.

The pool was opened during the concert and there were children’s activities, food and drink vendors and community booth displays.

The summer series was sponsored by Pepsi, City of Daytona Beach, Metro PCS, 99.5 the LOV, and the Southern Stone Event Group.

Concertgoers enjoy some line dancing at Midtown Motown on Saturday night. There also were activities for kids at the event.

From cotton picker to community leader: Daniels to discuss life experiences

“My life experiences disciplined me. I thought that when grownups or Whites told you to do something that you were supposed to do it. I was comfortable in my ignorance. I thought everyone lived like us. We had nothing to compare it with,” Daniels told

the Daytona Times.

signing will follow.

“I thought that I had a story to tell that would be interesting. So far it has been proven to be true, “Daniels said. “I want people, especially youngsters, to know what we went through to make things easier for them. They often take things for granted. It took a lot of blood, sweat, tears, hard work and hardship.”

Local NAACP pioneer Daniels has worked with the NAACP and helped to start the Volusia County/Daytona Beach branch. He has worked with other local organizations to improve the lives of others.

“The different churches will be using their church vans and we are going to bring in other vans to bring out not only the churches but go through the community to get people out to do early voting.”

That event include food, music and speakers.

The NAACP plans to hold a second community political forum to allow local candidates to speak with potential voters.

It will take place the

week before the election at Stewart Memorial Methodist Church in Daytona Beach.

“We are partnering with Stewart-Memorial Church.

We haven’t finalized the date and time yet. People can’t be complacent when it comes to politics. All politics are local,” Slater added.

“These are the people that represent us to make real changes in policy and our community. We must be very careful when voting. Once you mark your ballot and slide it in the machine, it is a done deal.’’

Campbell, then college In 1939, when he was 11, his family moved to Ormond Beach.

“My dad’s sister lived in Ormond and encouraged us to come. Daddy built an SUV out of a Ford Model T. Sixteen people were on board. We had our chickens and everything of value,’’ Daniels said.

In Florida, Daniels attended school more often.

“On the plantations in Georgia, we hardly attended school. The only education we got there was in church. In Ormond, I attended the Rigby school; the only colored school there. It went to the 10th grade, then you got your certificate. After school, I tried to attend college but couldn’t. I had to go back to Daytona and attend Campbell up to 12th grade.

I finished there in 1952.”

Later he would go on and attend Florida A&M (1952-54) in Tallahassee.

Tallahassee. When I moved back here in the later years, I got the charter for the first local chapter, the original Volusia County chapter. There was a need. We met in the basement of Mt. Bethel Church in Daytona.

Later, Ormond, DeLand, New Smyrna and Daytona got chapters,’’ Daniels noted. “I also got Project Upgrade, the application for the community action program. Without it, you wouldn’t have programs like Head Start, drug treatment centers and others.”

Born on plantation Daniels was born in 1928 in Cordele, Georgia on a plantation to sharecroppers and descendants of slaves. His parents had 13 children.

“I didn’t sleep in a bed

until I was 11 years old. We slept on a pallet. For those who don’t know, it’s a padded place on the floor. We had 18 to 20 shacks where laborers live while the plantation boss lived in the big house,” he explained.

“We picked cotton. We started at the first light of day. We had a commissary where we got food and clothes. My dad was only paid once a year in September. That’s when they added the family’s labor for the year to see whether you earned or owed money. We mostly cleared. Dad often made $4.50 a year. It was a lot. A gallon of gas was 12 cents and a pound of bacon was a nickel. We were thrifty. We had our own garden and raised chickens,” Daniels recalled.

Everyone worked Later, the family moved to another plantation and picked peaches.

Daniels remembers, “It

was better than cotton. We found ways to save money.

Dad was paid 25 cents per hour there while kids got 15 cents. The smaller kids got 10 cents per hour. We paid $1.50 a month to rent the house we lived in, which was owned by the plantation owners. We were able to take home all the peaches that were on the ground.

We made peach wine, peach cobbler, peach stew, peach pie, and all kinds of stuff. We thought we were doing alright.”

Daniels remembers the creation of Social Security.

“It was a big problem at first. Blacks and Whites opposed it. Nobody wanted a penny taken from their pay. We thought they were going to take our pennies and give them to Whites.

Nobody understood how they were going to keep up with our pennies. If they tried to stop it now, it would be a bigger fight.

out and vote. Through this debate, we have been able to see how out of touch Donald Trump is when it comes to the blight of African-Americans and American citizens as a whole It also showed a nonchalant attitude being displayed by Mr. Trump. That is another reason why people should be energized to go to the polls,” responded Harris.

Slater echoed, “Speaking not as the president of the local NAACP but as an individual and a Black woman, Mr. Trump definitely concerns me. He is just unpredictable.”

Hope in Clinton The Black leaders seemed more accepting to Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.

Slater said, “Clinton seems more informed,

Hotel, Coquina, Riviera Princess Anne and Sheraton Plaza. I even traveled to Northern cities during some summers to work hotels. I picked potatoes, threw newspapers and caddied at golf courses. I even caddied for famous LPGA golfers like Babe Dickerson, Patty Berg and others,” stated Daniels.

Daniels said he received unusual kindness by Whites in Ormond.

“In Georgia, we were called ‘Negrolettes’ when we were young. We were often considered little animals. Ormond wasn’t as bad. In Ormond, people actually treated us like somebody, more like a human being,’’ he remarked.

Daniels even worked at Dozier School for Boys in Marianna shortly after finishing college at FAMU. The school has been plagued with allegations of torture, rape and murder.

“I was a counselor. It was hell. The staff couldn’t leave without permission.

I quit. They were so abusive to the boys. One boy was beaten so badly one night just for using profanity. Whites and Blacks both got it. It was segregated.

White boys raised chickens and rabbits while Blacks farmed. Whites lived on the other side of the street,” Daniels told the Times.

polished and well-versed.

She has 40 years of political experience. She’s been attacked about her emails, which is concerning but I don’t think it should deter voters from her.”

“During the debate, Clinton showed more compassion and seemed to be more for individuals of all races,” added Harris.

The Black Clergy Alliance is endorsing Clinton.

Harris remarked, “We as an alliance are working very closing and we have voted as an alliance to officially endorse Hilary Clinton for president. We are spearheading an official visit by her campaign.

From the pulpit we can’t tell you who to vote for. As a concerned citizen, I try to go out and educate people on what these candidates are saying and are about.”

Active in community Daniels left and went into insurance and real estate. He retired from Atlanta Life Insurance Company and opened his own agency, Daniels and Young Insurance on Ridgewood Avenue with Lilly Young.

“I eventually sold my business and property and retired. I even had a business called SAA Automobile on Second Avenue. Charles Cherry Sr., the founder of the Daytona Times, shared an office with me at one time,” Daniels recalled.

He added that he once managed a day care.

Daniels said he volunteers at Florida Health Care, Daytona Beach International Airport, Halifax Historical Society and his church, St. Timothy’s Episcopal Church.

He serves on the City of Daytona Beach’s Historic Preservation Board and Nuisance and Abatement Board. He formerly served on the city’s Midtown Redevelopment Board.

Family, friends, ‘Today Show’ celebrate 100th birthday of Naomi McLaurin Leon McLaurin and wife Pat, along with Yvonne Jukes and husband Jimmie, had pleasure hosting the best celebration ever! It was a milestone birthday for someone special. And, that was the 100th birthday of Naomi McLaurin, who is Leon and Yvonne’s mother.

The party took place in August at Princeton Village of Palm Coast, the place of residence of Mrs. McLaurin. From a peek inside, we could see Yvonne seating her mother at the center for the occasion.

Sitting at the tables were grandchildren, great-grandchildren, lifelong friends, other friends and relatives; neighbors and church family from Virginia, as well as friends and church family from Palm Coast.

The tables accommodated a variety of hors d’oeuvres and slices of birthday cake.

Leon invited everyone for irresistible food, sharing stories later about his mom, at the next destination in Palm Coast at the Hampton Inn.

A teacher at school, church Several guests once had their feet tucked under Mrs. McLaurin’s table. Since she was a spectacular cook, she and her late husband, Arthur, welcomed the fellowship of friends and family to their home in Arlington, Virginia.

“We want to thank each and everyone of you for blessing us, by coming here to celebrate one century that my mother has lived,” said Yvonne. Mrs. McLaurin’s daughter continued to speak at her mother’s residence, expressing that Mrs. McLaurin was a teacher in the public schools, at home, and at church.

As children, Leon and Yvonne were brought to Sunday School and church.

They were not sent, and no less were taught to serve at an early age.

Pastoral tributes In song, video When Mr. McLaurin passed away in 1998 – after 58 years of marriage – Mrs. McLaurin relocated in 2004 to Palm Coast and lived with Leon and Pat. She joined the Mt. Calvary Baptist Church in 2005 under the pastoral ministry of the Rev. Edwin Coffie.

It was the best that a birthday party could offer.

The Rev. Edwin Coffie took a stroll down memory lane, singing and playing on piano the favorites: “My Hope is Built on Nothing Less,” “Nobody Knows the Trouble I’ve Seen,” and “You Are So Beautiful.”

From a video that the Rev. Dr. James E. Victor Jr. of Mount Olive Baptist Church in

Arlington narrated, Mrs. McLaurin’s former pastor affirmed, celebrating with her the goodness and faithfulness of God. He said, “No doubt, you have seen numerous things over the course of your life – some good, some bad; some positive, some negative – but through it all, God has been faithful, and has rewarded your faithfulness.”

A dutiful member of Arlington church Mrs. McLaurin was born on Aug. 6, 1916, in Mebane, North Carolina, while Woodrow Wilson was president. Wrigley Field had opened, a woman for the first time was elected to Congress, and World War I was running rampant in the European Theater.

Rev. Victor reminisced of Mrs. McLaurin’s endless work and commitment to education as a founding member of the church’s Education Committee and her sacrifice on the Kitchen Committee.

Mrs. McLaurin continued her legacy as reflected at her 90th birthday party in 2006 at the Palm Coast Yacht Club. At that time, it was reported in this column that when Mrs. McLaurin became a member at Mt. Calvary, she again was gainfully employed in the work of the Lord.

‘I endured for ‘Jesus Christ’ Yvonne then began to define who her mother is.

A couple of days prior, while holding her mother’s hand, Mrs. McLaurin said, “You know: I always did the best I could.

I always did my best...I endured for Jesus Christ.” Mrs. McLaurin did not look for worldly blessings from people.

Others from Mount Olive recalled being poor and shared with Yvonne while she was in Virginia that Mrs. McLaurin would provide food and warm quilts. Mrs. McLaurin majored in Home Economics, earning a Home Economics degree in 1942 from Shaw University in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Mrs. McLaurin met her husband at Shaw. She recalled him being dirt poor because upon his arrival, a rope was tied around his ragged suitcase. And since Mrs. McLaurin had a job in the university president’s kitchen, she would take meals

SEPTEMBER 29 – OCTOBER 5, 2016

A tribute to Terence Crutcher and Keith Scott The warm rays of sun welcomed us on to I-40 just as we passed downtown Oklahoma City. My father and I found mutual excitement in the road trip that awaited us.

After a summer of preparing for and taking the bar exam, I was particularly enthused about the journey that would lead to the start of my career. Like the sun, the future seemed fairly bright.

Despite these positive feelings, a sense of nervousness also registered in my mind. The primary cause of me being on edge was a reflection on the deaths of Alton Sterling, Philando Castile, and Korryn Gaines over the summer.

The killings of police officers in Louisiana and Texas certainly didn’t help.

Weighed on me Like many Americans, these losses of life weighed on me heavily. The killings that took place in Baton Rouge especially hit home because I went to law school in the city. Though I’d engaged in racial justice work before, each event added more burdens to my psyche than the last.

As I drove east with my father, the thrill of an imminent career as a civil rights attorney constantly mixed with the dread of the continual loss of Black lives.

It resulted in quite the paradox.

The uneasy feeling confirmed itself just a few weeks later. News of Terence Crutcher’s death manifested itself on my social media accounts, along with yet another horrifying video of the entire encounter. My mind immediately jumped back to that road trip. Though I-44 carries travel-

In light of the challenges ahead, I particularly urge Black lawyers to continue to lend their support to protestors and demonstrators.

Effective advocacy is critical to ensuring that equal justice is administered under the law and showing the world that Black lives do matter. ers from Oklahoma City to Tulsa, the parallel route of I-40 is close enough to put the tragic end of Mr. Crutcher’s life in context.

‘If…Then’ is the question of the hour Most teachers, especially English and math, recognize the words “IF...THEN” as foundational in teaching the concepts of “cause and effect” or “theoretical relationships.”

These are important concepts for anyone wishing to clearly understand consequences of our actions. As a former English teacher, I’ve used the example, “IF you don’t study, THEN you’re likely to fail your test” more times than I can reasonably count.

‘The only color’ A friend who is among the last of the Vietnam Era draftees loves to tell the story of his Texas-bred, redneck drill sergeant who, when accused through the chain of command of racism toward Black trainees, called his platoon into formation for a butt-chewing

session. In stereotypical drill sergeant rant, he protested that in his treatment of trainees, “the only color trainee that I see is OD (olive-drab) green.”

In his inimitable way, my friend raised his hand and asked, “IF the only color you see is OD-green, THEN why do the light OD-green soldiers get all the breaks while the dark OD-green soldiers catch all the hell?” Needless to say, my friend’s drill sergeant was not pleased and took his displeasure out on my friend.

That story is somewhat symbol-

World faiths come together to make a difference Whenever we see racism, harassment, and hatred, a call for world faiths to step forward must be initiated. In this call, all faiths must come together to work towards solidarity.

Even though there may be fundamental differences in beliefs and practices, it’s goes without saying that most, if not all faith practices are centered on the word ‘LOVE.’

Terror vs. illness Unfortunately, we live a world whereby people like to blame certain religions for violence throughout the land. Let’s look at an attack committed by someone who is a Muslim. The media

is quick to point out that Islam is a terroristic religion.

Now let’s look at an attack by someone who happens to be a Christian. The media will conclude mental illness and not say anything about Christianity.

I could go on with other world religious practices, but I won’t because nothing gets solved as long as we point the finger.

young age of 40, Mr. Crutcher essentially represented the midway point between my age and that of my father. During our trip, Lord forbid that the rental truck we drove break down on the interstate. This sense of fear characterizes the experience of Black people in the United States, both now and historically.

All of these events make me recall the trepidation experienced

by Dr. Robert Pershing Foster, one of the protagonists in Isabel Wilkerson’s masterpiece, “The Warmth of Other Suns.”

Dr. Foster migrated from Monroe, La., to Los Angeles in the middle of the 20th century. During the Jim Crow era in which he found himself, Dr. Foster made his journey halfway across the country without the ability to stop at a hotel and rest when he grew tired. His trip became that much more perilous because of his dangerous level of fatigue.

American fear Though temporary accommodations are much more accessible in the 21st century, the fear felt by Dr. Foster, Mr. Crutcher, my father and me transcends generations. It is a fear that is as American as the national anthem.

Perhaps more unsettling than Mr. Crutcher’s death is the fact that my father and I could have been gunned down as we walked through Charlotte a few weeks ago. Reports of the killing of Keith L. Scott flashed on my phone as I rode to work. In the surreal manner that I easily placed myself in Mr. Crutcher’s shoes, I did the same thing with Mr. Scott’s story.

ic of a major social issue plaguing the United States. To address it, we could ask, “IF all lives matter, THEN why don’t police act like it?”

IF the most egregious act of police brutality and excessive force primarily impact on Black citizens, THEN why is there such a negative reaction to the truth of Black Lives Matter as a statement of fact?

IF All Lives Matter, THEN when will African-American citizens be able to expect and receive treatment commensurate with their actual demeanor and behavior?

IF All Lives Matter and matter equally, THEN when will we see true accountability in the training, management and treatment of those miscreants who wear the blue uniform and the badge?

‘Capital’ crime Most recently, Terence Crutcher was killed in Tulsa, Okla., for the ‘capital’ crime of Vehicle Breaking Down While Being Black. A ‘concerned citizen’ called into 9-1-1 to report that Crutcher vehicle was

Crimes committed by persons within certain world faiths doesn’t portray the ideology nor philosophy of the whole religion. Just as it’s unfair to label the action(s) of one dysfunctional person as a representative of a whole, the same is true of religion. In fact, those who label world faiths as being evil are just as guilty of not working towards peace.

Peace is possible Peace can be possible, if people work together. The church is often asked to be the voice of the community to bring about justice and equality to those who are disenfranchised. Well, it’s time for houses of worship to reach out to other groups to bring about peace.

Working together to bring about peace in the community isn’t about being Christian, Muslim, Jewish, or Hindu, just

VISUAL VIEWPOINT: LOOTERS IN CHARLOTTE

SEAN DELONAS, CAGLECARTOONS.COM

I went to law school and embarked on a career as a civil rights attorney in an attempt to right at least some of the societal ills that plague this country. Although I will strive to employ effective legal strategies to address issues rooted in systemic racism, I do wonder where the morality and compassion are in these situations.

Would Korryn Gaines have been slaughtered had she been viewed first as a mother? Would Terence Crutcher have bled out on that highway had he been viewed first as a brother? Would Keith Scott still be living and laughing had he been viewed first as a neighbor?

Work to do The immense amount of work that awaits our nation must be informed by these questions. If not, the blood of slain Black men and women will continue to drip

stopped in the middle of the road and that he looked like he was “smoking something.” Four police officers responded on the ground to the call with their guns drawn.

A police helicopter also flew to the scene and hovered in observation of the incident.

Per all available video, as symbolic of surrender, Crutcher held his hands above his head and walked slowly to his vehicle.

His behavior was not erratic. He showed no aggression. His consequence? He was tasered by Officer Tyler Turnbough and shot to death by Officer Betty Shelby.

The Tulsa Police Department immediately took the position that Crutcher was under the influence of a substance and that, with three other officers by her side, Shelby was in abject fear for her life. They added that Shelby was “an expert” at determining subjects under the influence.

No ‘bad dude’ Although he piloted the police helicopter, Officer Dave Shelby, husband of Betty Shelby was not

to name a few; it’s about doing the right thing in order to bring about a civilized society whereby people can interact with one another without feeling intimidated, threatened, or ostracized.

The question is how can world faiths come together? Here are a few ways: •Understand that people working together instead of against each other will bring about the greatest impact.

•Work on a common issue. It’s not about saying which religion is better, it’s finding a common cause and becoming solutionoriented.

•Ignore what the media has to say about people of different religious faiths. As long as the media is allowed to control and dictate what is and isn’t, hatred and division will continue to escalate.

•Use social media as a method to promote peace. Because so many people use social media to

In light of the challenges ahead, I particularly urge Black lawyers to continue to lend their support to protestors and demonstrators. Effective advocacy is critical to ensuring that equal justice is administered under the law and showing the world that Black lives do matter.

the (unidentified) officer heard to call Crutcher a “bad dude.” That one phrase, however, is suggestive of a disturbing mindset in the Tulsa Police Department. It is also one of the bases upon which the BLM stands.

When they arrived on scene, did any of the police officers recognize Terence Crutcher as a stranded motorist, or did they all jump to the conclusion that Crutcher was merely a violent Black animal that had to be controlled? That characterization may be harsh, but many have seen – whether in person or on YouTube – animals treated with greater concern and compassion than demonstrated in Tulsa.

IF All Lives Matter, THEN make it so! IF it cannot/will not be made so, THEN our protest will continue until it is factual that Black Lives Matter!

Clearly, there will be people who will not participate or condone world faiths working together. Why? Because they are so segregated in their thinking that collaboration is foreign.

The time to do away with isolation is now. Everyone can make a difference, and everyone will be held accountable for what they do or don’t do. Let’s put aside the differences and work together to end the sin of racism, harassment and hatred in this world.

Mother of seven turns life around at McDonald’s Leadership development

Single mom works her way up to general manager

BY STACY M. BROWN NNPA NEWSWIRE

Ten years ago, Cameo Faust, a single mother of seven was working at an Atlanta-area McDonald’s, struggling to make ends meet and highly motivated to make a better life for herself and her family.

Now, she’s the general manager, who is responsible for the operation of the restaurant and in charge of helping to build a team of employees to help the business flourish.

Faust gave birth to her first child when she was 14. Faust’s mother, Shirley Randolph, had given birth to her first child at the age of 12.

“By the time I was 15, I had twins, plus the baby. At 17, I had four kids, and then I had five by the time I was 18 and, finally, by 26, I had seven,” she said, unapologetically, naming them in range from the oldest to the youngest – Jasmine, Markiesha, Marcus, DeMarcus, Sparticus, Sparkle and Joshua.

No job, no help Now, Faust, at 36 years old, realizes that with each pregnancy, she was desperately trying to fill a void created by the loveless, tumultuous relationship that she had with her own mother.

“My mother would always be fussing at me, telling me not to wear a head rag or not to do this or to do that…[she was] always so mean and I didn’t want to listen to her. I’m having these kids to have someone to love because nobody ever loved me,” Faust said.

Although she continued in a relationship with the father of her children, Faust knew that a life of struggle wasn’t ideal. At the time, Faust didn’t even have a high school diploma.

The proverbial light bulb in

Cameo Faust worked her way up from crew person to general manager at a McDonald’s franchise in the Atlanta-area. her head switched on when the town’s water company turned off her water, Faust said.

“I was dating my children’s father and one day the water got cut off and I asked him what were we going to do,” she said. “He looked at me, told me that he didn’t know what I was going to do, but that he was leaving.”

Stunned, the unemployed Faust showed him the door.

“I just got tired,” she said. “I told him that he could go.”

‘All about perseverance’ Now, with five children, no money, no job, no high school diploma, and a paltry $367-amonth welfare check, Faust began pounding the pavement.

“I kept walking up and down the street for about three days.

There were a lot of fast food restaurants and I would walk up and down every day asking for a job,” she said.

Latest police killings leads NNPA to make demands

BY FREDDIE ALLEN NNPA NEWSWIRE

The recent killings of three Black males, including a 13-year-old boy, have sparked protests across the country and has prompted the National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA) to declare a state of emergency in Black America.

The NNPA, is a trade group that represents more than 200 Black-owned me-

dia companies nationwide and reaches more than 20 million readers a week.

“Millions of our readers across the nation are once again outraged at the latest fatal incidents of police brutality in Tulsa, Okla., and Charlotte, N.C.,” the group said in a joint statement released on Sept. 23,

by Denise Rolark Barnes, chairwoman of the NNPA and publisher of The Washington Informer, Bernal E. Smith II, a member of the

near Riverdale Road and asked if I could apply for a job. [The supervisor] told me to come back the next day,” Faust said. “I explained that it took me an hour to walk here, but he said, ‘I should come back.’ I kept coming back and he’d tell me to come back again and again. I was tired, but finally I was hired as a crew person.”

At first, the job only added to Faust’s problems.

She had five children at home with the oldest just 10 years old.

“I had my oldest watch the other children even though I also had an infant and a toddler in the house,” Faust said. “I know it was dangerous, but I couldn’t allow my kids’ father to come back.

I’d walk back and check on them when I could and I made sure that they had three meals every day.”

She said, adding that a neighbor did, from time to time, peek in on the children to ensure that all was well.

“It was all about perseverance

and I didn’t want to be on welfare anymore, so I did what I had to do,” Faust said.

Inspired by mom Faust worked hard and began to earn promotions at the restaurant.

Ironically, she said that she was inspired by Randolph who had given her such a difficult time.

“My mother pushed me to be better than her, that’s why she was so hard on me,” said Faust. “She loved me. She’s really my role model.”

Faust is now enrolled in school and she’s taking courses at McDonald’s famed Hamburger University, recognized by the American Council on Education as the only academically accredited restaurant in the country.

Through a company program, employees can transfer as many as 46 hours toward a bachelor’s degree, certificate program, or associate’s degree.

Hamburger University first opened in 1961 and more than 330,000 students have taken courses there, including franchise general managers like Faust whose courses include shift management, introduction to management and guest services.

In a statement about the university, Rob Lauber, McDonald’s chief learning officer, said that an educated workforce has huge value for the business.

“We estimate between 20 and 30 percent of our restaurant managers haven’t finished high school and Hamburger University focuses more on leadership development, business growth, and operations procedures, with a special emphasis on service, quality, and cleanliness to help prepare students for managerial positions in the restaurant industry,” said Lauber.

John Hurt, the McDonald’s franchise owner who employs Faust, said that she has done a great job.

“This is one area of being an owner that really gives you satisfaction,” said Hurt. “Knowing you’re helping others and this one particular person, who was looking for a way out and knowing that we could provide that opportunity is special. I am really thrilled to have Cameo with me.”

Hurt said that Faust manages about 55 employees, managers report to her, and that he’s pleased with the progress that she’s made over the years.

Faust said that she aspires to become an entrepreneur and a motivational speaker.

Three of Faust children have graduated high school and one of her daughters attends Clark University, a historically Black college in Atlanta.

“I love McDonald’s and all that they’ve done for me,” said Faust. “I still want to let God take me higher.”

On Sept. 16, Tulsa police officer Betty Shelby fired the shot that killed Terence Crutcher after the truck he was driving broke down on the road.

In a video captured by the Tulsa Police Department, Crutcher can be seen walking back to his truck with his arms raised, just before he was Tasered, then shot.

Shelby has been charged with felony manslaughter.

Scott in Charlotte On Sept. 20, police in Charlotte, North Carolina shot and killed 43 year-old Keith Lamont Scott at an apartment building. Witnesses said that Scott was sitting in his car reading a book when plainclothes officers approached him and asked him to exit his vehicle.

On Sept. 24, CharlotteMecklenburg police released body-worn camera and dashboard camera video footage of the incident. None of the videos show Scott holding a gun or pointing a weapon at the police.

“We’re tired of covering these stories,” said Denise Rolark Barnes, chairwoman of the NNPA and publisher of The Washington

Barnes continued, “The situation has escalated and it is time for us to step up to not only tell the story, but to also make some demands.”

stream media.

“As much as we want to protect Black lives, we also have to protect the mediums and ways in which the stories that are true about Black lives are spread and that is through the Black Press,” said Goggans.

Not ‘business as usual’

Four demands

Bernal Smith, the publisher of the New Tri-State Defender in Memphis, Tenn., said that, “I’ve had way too many conversations with our readers and with people in our community that feel like we’re under siege…that feel that driving, walking or even sitting while Black is a threat to their lives.”

Smith continued, “We are here today to declare that there is a state of emergency in our communities across America and it requires immediate and significant action on behalf of the federal government…it can no longer be business as usual.”

April Goggans, who represents the Black Lives Matter movement in Washington, D.C., said that the narrative about the killings of Black men and women at the hands of those sworn to protect them is still being controlled by main-

At a recent press conference, the NNPA announced that they want President Barack Obama, Attorney General and the U.S. Congress to address four principle demands immediately: Appoint a special federal prosecutor on police brutality; Establish a national police oversight commission on the use of deadly force, training and cultural sensitivity; Create a national police brutality and misconduct database that is publicly accessible; Establish tougher federal penalties for police officers and prosecutors who violate constitutional rights.

“We’re not waiting for a new Congress, we’re not waiting for a new Supreme Court Justice, we’re not waiting for a new president, we’re not waiting for a new Attorney General,” said Chavis. “We want action, today.”

The Mainland mascots keep the crowd entertained during the game. Mainland pulled out a big win over over Dr. Phillips.

Mainland handles Orlando’s Dr. Phillips with big plays

BY ANDREAS BUTLER DAYTONA TIMES

Mainland and Dr. Phillips face off last week at Municipal Stadium in Daytona Beach.

Mainland High School got an impressive 41-21 win over Orlando’s Dr. Phillips High School at Municipal Stadium in Daytona Beach last week.

The Mainland Buccaneers’ offense and special teams made big plays while their defense held a prolific Panthers offense to 206 total yards and forced two key turnovers.

Mainland entered the game ranked third in the Class 6A state polls while Dr. Phillips was seventh in the Class 8A poll.

Both teams had key players return from injury in defensive back Cyrus Fagan (Mainland) and Linebacker Dylan Meeks (Dr. Phillips).

I was impressed with Dr. Phillips’ band and Mainland was Mainland.

71-yard TD Dr. Phillips (3-2) led 7-0 after Marvin Washington found Emare Hogan on a 29-yard touchdown pass early in the first quarter.

Mainland (5-0) took the lead for good at 14-7 lead on Denzel Houston’s 71-yard touchdown run.

Houston’s two-yard toss to Brian Jenkins Jr. gave Mainland a commanding 35-14 lead late in the third quarter.

C.J. Wilson ran for 137 yards and Jenkins had six catches for 103 yards for the Buccaneers.

Jenkins added a 57-yard punt return, which led to a one-yard touchdown run by Kevon McCrary giving Mainland a 21-7 second quarter lead.

Tank Dell added three catches for 33 yards with two touchdowns for the Bucs.

Above: Dr. Phillips players watch the game from the sideline.

Right: Mainland High School’s marching band performs during halftime.

HIGH SCHOOL GAME OF THE WEEK REVIEW Deltona next Washington threw for 99 yards with two scores and ran for 94 yards for Dr. Phillips.

Hogan had 68 total yards.

Je’Quan Burton caught a 41-yard touchdown pass and Tanner Ingle returned a kickoff 88 yards for a score for the Panthers.

Mainland hosts Deltona High School and Dr. Phillips will be at Orlando Oak Ridge this week.

Key play Trailing 28-14 early in the third quarter, Dr. Phillips was driving.

Washington found a running lane but defensive back Dennis Shorter stripped the ball and teammate R.J. Stokes recovered for Mainland.

Player of the game Houston, a senior quarterback, is a playmaker. It’s not as easy as he makes it look. He threw for 174 yards with three touchdowns and ran for 183 yards with a score.

This week’s top games Halifax Academy (0-3) at Warner Christian Academy (2-2).

The winner pretty much clinches a playoff spot as both play in a three team district with Deltona Trinity Christian Academy. The top two teams in each district clinches a playoff spot.

Both these teams will have a tough time beating Trinity making this matter even more.

Halifax quarterback LaShawn “Snoop’’ Wilder and Warner running back Marvin Scott could score plenty of touchdowns. The teams’ other key players could determine the outcome.

Mainland defenders Maurice Haden (13) and Kevon McCrary (7) are a force to be reckoned with on the field.
