Hillary Clinton delivers her concession speech on Wednesday from the New Yorker Hotel’s Grand Ballroom in New York City.
Real estate tycoon and reality TV star Donald Trump shocked the world when he was elected president of the United States on Tuesday. Trump defeated Democrat and Secretary of State Hilary Clinton in one of the biggest upset in history. Some political analyst had expected Clinton to win in a landside. Throughout his campaign, Trump has made comments not favorable to Muslims, immigrants, Latinos and Blacks. Black Daytonans reacted to Trump’s stunning victory with concern for their communities and the nation.
‘Trouble brewing’ “The country is in bad shape. I don’t think people thought this out and analyzed the situation before voting. Trump has indicated that he doesn’t like certain people. Whatever he does will affect everyone, despite ethnicity or background,” said Patricia Heard, a businesswoman and retired educator. “We chose a president who had no political accolades and no military background. I can’t understand why he didn’t submit his taxes in the past few years. People earning less than $8,000 a year have to submit taxes. There is trouble brewing. People need to be prayerful and watchful daily,’’ she added. A local supporter of the Black Lives Matter movement expressed concern. “Only in America. Considering he called Black Lives Matter a nogood terror organization I think there should be some concern,” said See ELECTION, Page 2

While the nation is still recovering from the surprise election of Donald Trump for president of the United States, there were key local races that made history as well. The 2016 general election on Tuesday was another historic night for the Henry family. Two Henry siblings won their respective offices that night.

We had opposition but God was on our side and the people spoke,” Patrick Henry told the Daytona Times. Patrick Henry said he is ready for the challenges at the state level. “Tallahassee politics are different, but I’ve gone back and forward there over the last couple of years. I got an idea of how it works and what needs to be done. I’ll hit the ground running to represent District 26.”
‘Ready to serve’ Henry’s sister, Dannette Henry, an educator was elected to his Zone 5 seat, defeating Myke Tairu. “We are very excited. We are getting ready to serve community and unite the people of the
entire city,’’ she told the Times. Tairu, who works for an organization that helps convicted felons, congratulated his opponent and thanked his supporters. “I congratulate Ms. Henry on her victory. They ran a strong campaign. I look forward to working with her in the future. I am also thankful to my supporters and proud of my team for running a positive race with passion, integrity and excellence. The future is bright for Zone 5 and our city,’’ he said.
‘Proud moment’ The Henry brothers are proud of their little sister’s achievement. “It’s a moment of great euphoria for our family and appreciation to the community for confidence in her leadership and ability to move the community forward. I am excited about the See HENRY, Page 5

Incumbent Congressman John Mica of Florida’s 7th congressional district gets a hug from his wife, Patricia, after conceding defeat to Democratic challenger Stephanie Murphy at the Republican Party of Seminole County’s Election Watch event in Altamonte Springs on Tuesday.
Longtime area congressman defeated by political newcomer FROM WIRE REPORTS
Political novice Stephanie Murphy, with a powerful financial push from national Democrats, including U.S. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, ousted veteran U.S. Rep. John Mica, a Winter Park Republican who was seeking his 13th term in Congress. Stephanie Democrats targeted Murphy Mica because courtordered redistricting had reshaped his district to include a sizable portion of Orlando, where a Democratic candidate would be favored. Mica’s former district included parts of Volusia County. Mica has called the newly redrawn

Flagler County’s Veterans Day ceremony is at 10 a.m. Nov. 11 at the Flagler Executive Airport as the kick off to Freedom Fest 2016 – a weekend long event to honor veterans that includes the Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall. “This year’s ceremony has grown and will be quite special,” said Sal Rutigliano, Flagler County Veterans Services officer. Flagler County moved the event this year because it was able to bring Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall to the Flagler Executive Airport for all three days of the festival. The Flagler Executive Airport is located at 201 Airport Road, off of State Road 100 and across the street from Flagler Palm Coast High School. “The Vietnam Traveling Wall represents the perfect backdrop for this important event,” Rutigliano said. “It stands as a reminder of the great sacrifices that were made during the Vietnam War.”

he gets in office,” McGee remarked. She believes Trump was elected because “he is outspoken and forceful when he wants to be.’’ McGee explained, “His homerun was that he wants to make things better and many bought into it. I also think that he was elected because of Obamacare, which sounded good at first, but when it went into effect it caused people grief. Many who had health insurance lost it and many were penalized if they didn’t get it. Many just found that they couldn’t afford it.’’

The director of the Student Center at Morgan State University tells the students from Mt. Calvary why the school would be a good choice.
Minister leads students on tour of Washington colleges and landmarks Dr. David Blow and wife Dr. Danita Blow recently led high school juniors, seniors and their parents on “Exposure: College Road Trip 2016,” a spirit-led, educational experience with stops at Morgan State University, Howard University, tours of the nation’s capital, museums and monuments. Dr. David Blow is the Mt. Calvary Baptist Church youth minister, under the pastoral leadership of the Rev. Edwin Coffie. Dr. Blow penned the notes of the trip. They took on a personal, guided tour – a worship experience – and a gourmet breakfast at the First Baptist Church of Glenarden, a multi-campus ministry seating over 5,000 for a weekly attendance of upward 13,000 persons for one of four Sunday services. The Rev. John K. Jenkins is the pastor. There were students who have never traveled outside of Florida or experienced the red carpet treatment of the youth ministry. They experienced pride because the tour guides were men from the Gamma Chapter of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc. and the Pi Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity. They introduced the students to the serious side of college life, which oftentimes is not portrayed on TV or in the movies.
From rare art to athletics The students toured the museum at the Murphy Fine Arts Building, which boasts of rare art and artifacts from Africa at Morgan State University. At the Earl Graves School of Business, students sat in the Socratic-style lec-

You may end up being eligible for assistance you didn’t realize you would need.” The Palm Coast Branch Library is located at 2500 Palm Coast Parkway Northwest, at the intersection of Belle Terre Parkway.

Obama steadied our nation in ‘interesting times’ “May you live in interesting times.” This curse, attributed tenuously to the Chinese, bespeaks a preference for order over change. We now live in interesting times and Americans are hungering for change. Yet, surprisingly, President Obama enjoys increasing popularity as he heads into the final days of his presidency.
Doing something right Why is the president the most popular politician in America (outside of Bernie Sanders)? As he put it, to be elected with popular majorities twice with the name Barack Hussein Obama, something has to be going right. And something has. He inherited an economy in free fall, losing hundreds of thousands of jobs a month. Wall Street was on the verge of collapse. The auto companies were about to close their doors. George W. Bush left an annual budget deficit soaring above $1 trillion. Millions were at risk of losing their homes, and millions more were losing their shirts as their homes went “underwater” – worth less than the debt owed on them. The U.S. had suffered the worst foreign policy debacle since Vietnam in Iraq. The nation had been shamed as it watched Americans left to suffer after Katrina hit New Orleans. Obama was elected because he represented change and hope. He passed the largest stimulus plan in history, and staunched the free fall in jobs. He saved the financial system and began putting sensible regulations back on Wall Street. He rescued the auto industry that has now enjoyed its best

Barack Hussein Obama came to office facing harsh economic and political tempests. And he will leave office handing the baton to a successor with the wind at her or his back. More and more Americans are beginning to appreciate that now. years in history. He revived competence in government. He passed comprehensive health care reform – a flawed compromise plan but one that as provided health insurance to 20 million Americans. He raised taxes on the rich and lowered them on the working poor. He pushed a reactionary Congress to begin addressing the real and present
Race, gender and healing Just a few days before the corrosive 2016 election, it occurs to me that no matter what the outcome, our social fabric has been shredded by the ugliness of this campaign. Sure, there have been ugly campaigns before, but this one has revealed the extent to which racism and sexism are acceptable features of life in these United States. Women, including Hillary Clinton, have been routinely disparaged, not only in politics, but also in their roles as television talking heads and anchors. Megyn Kelly’s on-air collision with Newt Gingrich was classic – a jowly male bully loudly talking over a television host and accusing her of being “obsessed” with sex. The disparagement of women flowed down the ticket. In Illinois, Senator Mark Kirk had the nerve to disparage challenger Tammy Duckworth because of her Thai

heritage. Her dad traces his family’s military service back to the 18th century, while her mom is from Thailand. When she cited her military background, Kirk nastily said he was unaware that her family had come all the way from Thailand to fight for the U.S. Shame on Kirk for demonstrating his ignorance by criticizing the military service of a woman who lost both her legs in the Iraq war.

Standing Rock is about us too When my brothers were younger, a common playtime activity was the ‘game’ of “cowboys and Indians.” Fueled by Hollywood Westerns, kids played it across the nation. No one wanted to be the Indian and suffer the routine fate of ‘dying’ under brutal circumstances. Even kids recognized the disadvantages inherent with being a Native American. Sadly, the nation has not made a collective effort to remedy the wrongs inflicted upon Native American tribes. U.S. history is littered with the remnants of deceptive or broken treaties that have robbed Natives of any residual rights to their lands. Now our Native brothers and

sisters stand in the crosshairs of Corporate America which threatens the Standing Rock Reservation water supply. We all recognize water as the source of life.

danger of catastrophic climate change.
Results are apparent The deficit has been more than halved. The recovery has been slow and halting, but we’ve enjoyed private sector job growth for a record number of consecutive months. And now, with unemployment down around 5 percent, workers are starting to be in demand and wages have just begun to inch upward. The president has governed with grace. His rhetoric informed and lifted us. His family provided admired role models. He suffered insult and obstruction with patience and dignity. As he would be the first to admit, none of this is sufficient.
Problems remain Our politics remain polluted by big money. Our economy is still rigged to favor the few. Our trade deficit remains extreme. The banks are still too big to fail. Workers still don’t capture a fair share of the profits and productivity they help to produce. The tax evasions of the corporations and rich reach grow ever more obscene. People of color were the biggest victims of Wall Street’s housing frauds, with many yet to recover. The racial wealth gap keeps growing. Workers – White, people of color, the young and women – all struggle against the odds. Stunningly, the life spans of White male workers are declining, as drugs, despair, sickness and suicide take an increasing toll. The U.S. is still mired in wars without victory across the Middle
war, and many see politics as a special kind of war. Women who play the politics game have to have thick skins and broad shoulders, because men are not likely to treat women with kid gloves because of their gender. However, gendered criticism (“she lacks stamina; look at that face”) is woven into the fabric of our nation’s racist patriarchy, and the “other” – women, people of color – is often put down using gendered or racialized code words. The backlash from eight years of the Obama presidency means that plenty of racists have come out to play. I thought we’d seen the last of David Duke, the reported KKK member who is again running for the Senate from Louisiana. Instead, he seems to have slithered from under some rock, just in time to endorse Donald Trump, throw shade on Evan McMullan (the Utah native and former CIA operative who is running a longshot campaign for president), and attack Jewish people.
Trying to adjust President Obama continues to do everything within his power to right the wrongs that existed long before he became president. He has said that he believes there are options to get around the controversial Dakota Access project site. The administration is considering ways to reroute the oil pipeline, but there are those who believe rerouting is not the answer. After many marches, rallies and activism, the Keystone XL Pipeline was halted and that is what they would like to see at Standing Rock. People of all races and nationalities have gone to Standing Rock in support. Different tribes have come together, which is a lesson to AfricanAmericans about uniting for a common cause even when all of our concerns do not match. We should do all we can to

The president who hoped to bring us together instead was hit by the bitter racial enmities that still divide us. Now we’re nearing the end of a presidential campaign marked more by scandal than by substance, featuring more insults than ideas. Donald Trump captured the Republican nomination by stoking fear and anger. Both candidates have been plagued by scandals, real and invented.
Contradictions result The country hungers for a change in course, but is fearful about what comes next. The two candidates for the presidency offering change are looked on with unprecedented disfavor, while the incumbent president enjoys ris-
Most listeners recoiled from Duke’s hateful words, and the Trump campaign quickly distanced itself from the Duke endorsement. Shocking, though, that this level of racist hate is so openly articulated. And Trump’s racial rhetoric suggests that the Duke endorsement, if unwelcome, was at least somewhat consistent with that which Trump has been preaching. The use of terms like “law and order” or “stop and frisk” ignores the issues the Black Lives Matter Movement has raised, not the least of which is the police killings of young black people. The disparagement of the Black Lives Matter Movement really disparages all Black people and reminds us that, despite progress, race still matters.
Capitalist system Capitalists maximize profits by minimizing expenses. Our economic structure and the credo of predatory capitalism depend on the ability of capitalists to extract surplus value from the work of those that are “other.” Thus en-
support this issue, because it was our Native brothers and sisters who often came to the rescue of our ancestors whose lives were endangered because of enslavement. As we look to a future, we must form coalitions with others to achieve our many community needs. Just as we elevate our own rights, we must be willing to elevate the rights of others.

ing popularity. President Obama has suggested that a president is something like a sprinter in a relay race. No one racer can determine the outcome. Your job is to run your part of the race as well as you can — and then hand on the baton to the next. It’s more complicated than that, of course. The best presidents change the direction of the race to ensure that their successors have the wind at their backs. One thing is clear today. Barack Hussein Obama came to office facing harsh economic and political tempests. And he will leave office handing the baton to a successor with the wind at her or his back. More and more Americans are beginning to appreciate that now. And we will appreciate it even more in retrospect.

slavement, though an inhumane institution, was also an efficient one for those who were able to use free labor. We’ve come a long way from enslavement, but the exploitation of workers continues, which is why the “Fight for $15” – which will disproportionately benefit women and people of color – is so important. This 2016 election has put many of our national wounds, and much of our fractured history, on display. Washington gridlock isn’t likely to stop just because the election is over. Still, there must be leaders who are willing to talk solutions. When does our nation tonally confront race and talk about reparatory justice? When do we, culturally, talk about sexism and the pay gap that remains, despite women’s progress?

Most of us were never taught in school how Indian and African slavery became intertwined, and how the abolition of one became linked to the other. Indians challenged slavery first and more successfully than did Africans, with lasting implications for the abolitionist movement in New England. For a thorough understanding, read “Brethren by Nature” by Dr. Margaret Ellen Newell, an Ohio State University professor. Indians and Africans have a shared history of suffering. We share common ground today on issues like Standing Rock, and stand together to find a positive resolution as our Native brothers and sisters work to protect their sacred land.

future of our city and our county,” said Daytona Beach Mayor Derrick Henry, who was re-elected to his position during the primary election. Patrick Henry echoed, “I’m very proud of her. She is going to succeed me in the city. I think that she will do a fantastic job. Zone 5 is in good hands with her as commissioner.” Dannette may be carrying her family name, but she has plans of her own. “We are our own individual people and thinkers with our own goals and ideas of what we would like to see done. We are family, but we don’t agree on everything. We were raised with the
same morals, but we have different ways to move the city forward positively,’’ she remarked.
Green, Wheeler win In other local races, Judge Shirley A. Green won the 7th Circuit Group 3 race. She defeated challenger Heather Caeners. In another key race, Volusia County Council Seat 2, former Daytona Beach Shores City Commissioner Billy A. Wheeler beat out Dr. Willie J. Kimmons, an educator and author. “I am a people’s person, not a politician. I was running not for Dr. Kimmons but the constituents in District 2,” he said. “I thank my supporters and friends, God bless them too. God bless the person who won. Good luck to her in moving District 2 forward and doing what is best for the constituents.”

Spruce Creek crushes New Smyrna; playoffs next BY ANDREAS BUTLER DAYTONA TIMES
Spruce Creek handled rival New Smyrna Beach 42-3 at the Hawks’ campus field in Port Orange last week. The Hawks ran the ball and played solid defense while the New Smyrna Barracudas made too many mistakes, especially with early scoring opportunities. The game was physical and it featured a big-time rivalry atmosphere with a big crowd. Both school bands and cheerleaders entertained patrons. The Hawks now have won five straight games and look good heading into the playoffs with some key players back from injury. Spruce Creek (7-3) took a 7-0 lead early in the first quarter on a 10-yard touchdown run by Kyle Minckler.
Interception, score Spruce Creek’s mascot takes a break from cheering on his winning team.
Jhemez Hull’s 45-yard interception return score with 2:32 left in the second quarter gave the Hawks a commanding 21-0 lead. New Smyrna (4-6) scored on a
HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS REVIEW 36-yard field goal by Riker Casey in the third quarter. Minckler threw for 115 yards with a touchdown and ran for 56 more with a score while Jaqcuez Lord ran for 104 yards for Spruce Creek. Anthony Butler threw for 100 yards ran for 20 and caught four passes for 42 yards for the ‘Cudas. Isaiah Poku, Hayden Flood and Guy McCarthy ran for scores; William Walter caught a touchdown pass and Cody Franco recorded an interception for the Hawks. Dalton Belanger caught six passes for 123 yards for New Smyrna Beach.
Playoff games: Nov. 11 Lake Brantley (6-4) at Spruce Creek (7-3) The Hawks beat the Patriots in the preseason jamboree, which didn’t count. This time much more is at stake. This could be
one of the better games. Creek is hot going in the postseason. Can the team keep the momentum? Okeechobee (8-1) at Mainland (9-0) Mainland is Volusia County’s true title contender. The Buccaneers are favorites but they are playing a good team. Mainland must play its game and not look ahead. Matanzas (7-2) at Sebastian River (9-1) The Pirates are in their firstever postseason game. Can they pull off the upset against a talented team? Winter Garden Foundation (6-4) at Deltona Trinity Christian (7-3) The Eagles of Deltona will be favored at home, but this is a good matchup that can go either way. Warner Christian (3-6) at Lakeland Victory Christian (81) The Eagles of Warner Christian will be overmatched against a talented team with much more depth. Playing solid defense and finding a passing game on offense could help.
Spruce Creek High School’s band entertains fans before the game last week.

Studied in Toronto Hairston is an Atlanta native who has been playing the harp since age 12. Prior to making the harp her principal instrument, she played the violin, which she began to play at age 4. She is currently a harp instructor with the Urban Youth Harp Ensemble in Atlanta and performs throughout the year in a variety of musical settings.
