“I believe a person’s strongest qualities emerge when they’re backs are pushed against the wall. Entrepreneurship teaches you to act with a bit of desperation in a sense, which I think is imperative in order for a person to reach their goals on time and on target. It’s also important for African Americans to lift each other up and support black businesses in their own communities whenever and however possible. Doing so will teach our children, who are the future, how to take full advantage of the American Dream,” ~ Kahil Moore

FROM ENTREPRENEURSHIP TO SUPPORT IN THE COMMUNITY, AFRICAN AMERICAN MALES ARE BEING LIFTED UP By Christopher Shuttlesworth

hile staggering unemployment rates continue to spell doom for African American males who are either unemployed or underemployed, there may be hope at the end of the rainbow through entrepreneurship and community support. The U.S. Census American Community Survey reports that the unemployment rate for Black males in Chicago triples the national average at 21 percent as more Black males in the city are unemployed and looking for work.

Jamica Quillin, the diversity & inclusion manager of strategic partnerships for the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and the program manager for Financial Services Pipeline (FSP) said, “the huge lack of diversity that exists within the Chicagoland financial services industry will have a negative effect on future competiveness and equity in the Chicago region.” FSP conducted a 200-page study which reported that jobs for Black males may decline in the financial services industry within five years if additional hiring methods aren’t developed to prevent it. As Black males find themselves in job search mode, FSP serves as a

EDUCATION CHICAGO CONFERENCE TO INVOLVE ADULTS IN PREVENTING BULLYING IN SCHOOLS A new initiative by a Chicago group seeks to involve adults in combating bullying in schools, in order to curb violence among youths. The initiative will be discussed at the 2017 Chicago Bullying Conference at the National Louis University on October 13th from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. Hosted by the Bullying Prevention and Awareness 365 and the university, the conference is expected to attract approximately 250 renowned educators, paraprofessionals, authors, parents and anti-bullying activists from various parts of the country. The theme of the Chicago Conference is “The Collective Roles of Adults in Bullying Prevention and Students’ Well-Being.” Chicago educator and author Dorothy J. Thompson, who is coordinating the conference, said it will “create awareness on how to identify, address and intervene in bullying situations to promote student safety.”

HEALTH FDA Sets Inaugural Meeting of First-Ever Patient Engagement Advisory Committee For the first time, an FDA advisory committee will focus on patient-related issues. On Oct. 11-12, 2017, FDA will hold the inaugural meeting of the new Patient Engagement Advisory Committee (PEAC). The topic will be the challenges of clinical trial design, conduct, and reporting identified by patients. FDA chose this subject because patients often have concerns about participating in clinical trials or drop out once they have enrolled in a trial. Inconsistent or minimal participation in clinical trials can make it difficult to reach reliable conclusions or to determine the level of benefit for patients. It also can take longer to bring technological advances to the patients who need them.

domain that will build youth visibility, understanding and confidence in the financial services industry. It’s about building confidence so interns can enter the financial service industry, Quillin said. A large part of the problem, she added, is that the financial sector is a very broad industry and many candidates don’t know what’s available to them. “You may not think about getting into IT, human resources, wealth management, financial investments or even accounting,” she said. “But we are developing a domain that focuses on recruitment and hiring to increase professional hiring for African Americans and increase early exposure through internships,” she continued. FSP Initiative members include: Ariel Investments, Bank of America, Illinois State Treasurer’s Office and others. Quillin said FSP also plans to partner with different educational programs that can offer pathways to a career in the financial services industry. While FSP is opening doors for Black males and other youth in the financial services industry, Congressman Danny Davis and other community leaders are setting their sights on addressing a host of issues that affect African American men and boys. Davis, along with the other leaders will host, “The State of the African American Male” conference in September. The conference will serve as an opportunity to address urgent issues related to the Black male population. Many people are expressing grave concern regarding issues, problems, status and behavior of many African-American men

and boys, Davis said in a statement. He added he’s working in collaboration with Annetta Wilson, and Sankofa Safe Child Initiative, Habilitative Systems Inc., The Westside Black elected officials, Fathers and Families who Care, Westside Ministers Coalition, Chicago Area Boy Scouts of America, Chicago City Colleges, Iheartmedia, WVON Radio and a large number of other social service agencies, programs and the University of Illinois at Chicago to address some of these issues. Davis said the group plans to hold the conference at the University of Illinois at Chicago on September 8-9. While community leaders are searching for solutions, 21 year-old entrepreneur Kahil Moore said young Black men should also look towards owning their own businesses as an option. “Entrepreneurship is an extremely viable option for Black men in Chicago,” Moore said. “It teaches you valuable lessons that can be applied to everyday situations. “I believe a person’s strongest qualities emerge when they’re backs are pushed against the wall. Entrepreneurship teaches you to act with a bit of desperation in a sense, which I think is imperative in order for a person to reach their goals on time and on target. It’s also important for African Americans to lift each other up and support black businesses in their own communities whenever and however possible. Doing so will teach our children, who are the future, how to take full advantage of the American Dream,” he said.

Keith and Jada both are hard workers and have a history of achievement,” said Larry Luster, Executive Director of the Illinois Legislative Black Caucus Foundation. “As our organization continues to move forward, we want to extend educational opportunities to train our future leaders.” The ILBCF summer internship goals are to ensure each intern gains an understanding of issues that are affecting the black community and learns how to address those concerns through advocacy. Interns are responsible for creating, developing and hosting a series of outreach events with aim of giving them the skills to take these skills with them during their professional journey. The ILBCF is also proud to introduce its summer fellow, Cartecia Lawrence, a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison where she double majored in Legal Studies and Afro-American Studies. “Developing the fellowship program has been one of my goals for some time,” comments Senator Kimberly Lightford, chairman of the Illinois Legislative Black Caucus, “I am proud that this vision has come into fruition.

CAROLE CHENEY ANNOUNCES CONGRESSMAN BILL FOSTER ENDORSEMENT

Foster endorsement marked Cheney as the only Democratic candidate to be endorsed by a member of the Illinois Congressional Delegation Carole Cheney, a leading Democratic candidate for the Illinois 6th Congressional District, announced on July 24, 2017, that she has received the endorsement of Congressman Bill Foster (IL-11). Cheney is currently the only primary candidate to be endorsed by a sitting member of the Illinois Congressional Delegation. “Carole Cheney is up to the task of leading the way for Illinois’ 6th District,” said Congressman Bill Foster. “She is a fighter and a tireless advocate who will always prioritize her constituents first. “Carole is a success story. Nothing in life was handed to her. She had to work hard to open the doors of opportunity. She understands the struggles and obstacles people are facing because she’s faced them too. Carole is uniquely prepared to join me in Congress. “I asked Carole to join my team and to help serve the constituents in my district. She worked tirelessly to listen to their concerns, identify problems, and offer lasting solutions. She’s delivered again and again. “There isn’t another candidate in the field prepared like Carole Cheney. Without question, she is up to the task.” “When it comes to decision making, Congressman Foster always focuses on the interests of his constituents, not special interests,” said Carole Cheney. “It is this focus on constituents that is lacking in our representation in Illinois’ 6th Congressional District. Instead of being accessible and hearing the concerns of our community, Congressman Roskam has closed his door -- putting party before the people he should be serving. “I will fight for the people of the 6th District, and put the needs of the community before the wants of DC special interests. My office will always have an open door, and the concerns of constituents will take top priority, rather than the political gamesmanship that is the central focus of the current representative.” Carole Cheney served as District Chief of Staff to Illinois’ 11th District from 2013 until 2017. During that time, she focused on delivering for the residents of the district – from making sure seniors received help in navigating the social security system, to helping return millions of tax dollars back to the district so that it could be reinvested into the community, and ensuring that the congressional doors would always be open so constituents could voice their concerns and be heard.

The Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS), along with several other state agencies and councils, hosted a celebratory event to honor the 27th anniversary of the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) at the James R. Thompson Center. The interactive and informative event included an art exhibit, entertainment by performers with disabilities, ADA informational workshops, and exhibits from federal, state, and local organizations. “At IDHS we are committed to a simple motto that many know well, ‘treating people the way we wish to be treated.’ On July 20th we commemorate and celebrate a living doctrine that does just that,” said IDHS Secretary James Dimas. “The Americans with Disabilities Act has been empowering individuals with disabilities to be treated the way we all wish to be treated by enabling them to reach their employment, education, and independent living goals for 27 years. Please join me in celebrating this landmark legislation.” The ADA celebration included presentations from IDHS Division of Rehabilitation Services Director Quinetta Wade and Illinois Tollway Authority Director Greg Bedalov. ADA informational workshops informed job seekers and employers about the benefits of the ADA, and entertainers with disabilities performed for those in attendance. The entire event was free, accessible and opened to the public. To further encourage all Illinoisans to reaffirm the principles of equality and inclusion, Governor Bruce Rauner proclaimed July 20, 2017 the Americans with Disabilities Act Day.

NEW ECONOMIC JUSTICE MOVEMENT AIMS TO ‘TURBO CHARGE’ BLACK WEALTH IN AMERICA By Hazel Trice Edney

(TriceEdneyWire.com) - According to the following statistics, the economic condition of America’s Black community is in dire straits: A recent study by Harvard University found that homeownership in the Black community stands at only 42.2 percent in the nation’s largest metro areas.

BLACK WEALTH 2020:

Nordstrom Celebrates A One-Of-A-Kind Anniversary Sale SEATTLE- Leading fashion specialty retailer Nordstrom, Inc. has announced the launch of its 2017 Anniversary Sale marketing campaign, which debuted recently in the U.S. and Canada. The company partnered with six artists, designers and stylemakers as brand ambassadors for the sale, which is taking place now through August 6. Anniversary Ambassadors include Russell Wilson, co-founder of Good Man Brand, entrepreneur, Super Bowl Champion and Franchise NFL Quarterback; Ashley Graham, model, body activist, author and designer of Ashley Graham lingerie; actor, singer, dancer and author Taye Diggs; actress and aspiring recluse Hana Mae Lee; choreographer and dancer Keone Madrid (with wife and dance partner, Mari); and artist and textile designer Kindah Khalidy. The company looked for a diverse group of individuals who are renowned in their field, passionate about what they do and thought would appeal to customers. The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale originated in the 1960’s and is the company’s biggest event of the year featuring brand-new merchandise for men, women and kids at super-sale prices for a limited time – prices go back up after two weeks. “Our Anniversary Sale is one of the most exciting Nordstrom events of the year for our customers” said Nordstrom Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer Scott Meden. “It’s a sale like no other. We’re thrilled to make it come to life with this campaign, and to

been strong enough and effective enough in that regard,” says Winston. “And so we are able to strengthen each other in each other’s activities as well as our collective voice for the Black community.” Other leaders in Black Wealth 2020 are HomeFree USA President Marcia Griffin; Zenviba Academy of Arts and Science President John Templeton; Collective Empowerment Group National President Dr. Jonathan Weaver; National Association of Real Estate Brokers President Ron Cooper; Enlightened: Beyond Expectations President Antwanye Ford; and Delta Sigma Theta President Dr. Paulette Walker. At latest count, the group has a total immediate reach of at least 3 million people. Members of Black Wealth 2020 are quick to point to the historic roots of its economic goals. When Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated on April 4, 1968, he had launched a “Poor People’s Campaign,” an economic justice movement that had

begun in Memphis.

John Templeton, founder of the now 14-year-old National Black Business Month in August, sees the work of Black Wealth 2020 as a continuum of Dr. King’s vision. Templeton contends the prophecy spoken by King the night before his death must still come to fruition. “King said he wasn’t going to get to the promise land with us. But we as a people will get to the promise land. And people have forgotten that,” Templeton says. Over the past 49 years since the assassination of Dr. King, other Black economic strategies have popped up and fizzled out. For this movement, Black Wealth 2020 members say the strategy for sustainability is built in, including the following elements:

Black America’s current state of affairs: “This current administration is going to force us to look internally because we don’t have any help coming from outside our

community,” says USBC President Ron Busby. “It’s not about one organization or about one individual leading the conversation, but once the mission was set and the three goals were established we can now go back to our collective constituencies and say this is what’s important.” Youth involvement: National Bankers President Grant says the participation of youth is key. Black Wealth 2020 has begun incorporating and mentoring youth economic leaders in their monthly meetings. “In my study of history, going back to ancient times, I can’t think of any major movement that was a societal changing movement that wasn’t driven by the energy of youth,” Grant says. Shared Leadership: “In the past, movements have been tied to one individual. And as soon as there is some issue, and perhaps maybe death, often times what happens on the demise of that individual is the organization goes through a down spin and it in many instances ends up being discarded,” says Dr.

Dr. Jonathan Weaver, Collective Empowerment Group; pastor, Greater Mount Nebo AME Church Jonathan Weaver. “As a result of this, there is no mindset or mentality among any of us that we want to be the one to be glorified or recognized as the so-called leader. That there is indeed shared leadership within this body and because we are so focused and so intentional about it, we really are just very resolute and determined to make this work.”

Unique structure: The umbrella structure of Black Wealth 2020 also lends to unity, accountability and sustainability. “This is not just one organization, but this is a series of organizations that have come under one banner and will be about empowering Black people,” Weaver says. The urgent need for economic growth: “It’s a fact that more than half of all African- Americans in our country rent. It’s a fact that a homeowner’s net worth is 36

times that of a renter. And it’s a fact that the median income for an African-American household is $35,000 compared to the national average of $53,000,” says Marcia Griffin of HomeFree USA. “This is an unacceptable situation for our people, and Black Wealth 2020 initiatives are critical in reversing these statistics and rebuilding wealth in the Black community.” Clear and positive vision: “This is not an anti-White movement, this is not a reactionary movement. This is a very positive affirmation Despite the name, representatives of the Black Wealth 2020 movement say they have vision well beyond only three years from now. “One of our founders thought we should call ourselves Black Wealth 2020 and Beyond. While we were definitely in favor of that concept, we felt the name was a little cumbersome,” Jim Winston chuckles. “So our goal, of course, is to continue beyond 2020. Building wealth in the African-American community is not an item that has a time line on it or a deadline on it...We just wanted to give ourselves a target where we can see some substantial improvements in that time frame.”

DEDICATED TO GROWTH

In life, there are things that we must work for and there are things that we must wait for. Either way, we can still give ourselves a greater degree of personalized service if we begin each day with dedication. When we begin the day with dedication, we are better positioned to end the day with satisfaction. It is, however, important to know how you will direct your dedication and it what areas you will take action. Dedication to the daily improvement of self precedes a future filled with greater possibilities. When we are dedicated to learning and being better in the simple things like having a better walk in faith or being a better parent, a better spouse, a better friend, a better employee, a better business partner, a better person, etc. our dedication facilitates and supports our growth. Dedication helps us grow and when we grow, we expand our vision, we attract more options, we open more opportunities, and we optimize our potential. We must remember that the law of increase is subjective; the soil will willingly accept the seed and do its part to help the seed transform into a plant; it does not however determine if it is making a tomato or potato. No matter where you find yourself planted, it is your dedication to remain true to the potential of what you can become that determines what youwill produce. New things are usually difficult before they become easy and too often our difficulties become a deterrent that prevents us from becoming better. Every worthwhile experience of growth and achievement requires dedication and determination. The people who grow the most are the ones who most consistently practice and prepare to grow day after day. Address: 11901 S Ashland Ave, Chicago, IL 60643 Phone: (773) 568-2282 www.cutemple.org
