CIVIL RIGHTS LEADERS MEET WITH ATTORNEY GENERAL JEFF SESSIONS

By Lauren Victoria Burke (NNPA Newswire Contributor)

Earlier this month, leaders from six civil rights groups met with Attorney General Jeff Sessions at the Justice Department to discuss a range of issues that are critical to the Black community.

The meeting was attended by Kristen Clarke, the president and executive director of the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights under the Law; Sherrilyn Ifill, the president and director-counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund; Marc Morial, the president and CEO of the National Urban League; Melanie Campbell, the president and CEO of the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation; Reverend Al Sharpton, the president of the National Action Network; and Wade Henderson, the president and CEO of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights and The Leadership Conference Education Fund.

The leaders expressed their concerns about the future of the civil rights gains made under the Obama Administration. They also expressed concerns about the recent rash of hate crimes, the consent decree involving Baltimore’s police department and the impact that any potential, “mythical” voting fraud investigation could have on voters’ rights.

During an interview with Fox News earlier this year, President Donald Trump announced that Vice President Mike Pence would lead a commission to investigate allegations of voter fraud.

ThinkProgress.org reported that President Trump claimed that he would have won the popular vote if it were not for three to five million illegal votes. President Trump has never offered any evidence to support this claim.

“I asked [Attorney General Sessions] to counsel the president against the creation of such a task force and a commission, because that commission will be seen to intimidate our communities,” said Ifill. “In the absence of

In downtown Chicago, hundreds rallied at Federal Plaza to honor Dr. King’s legacy and to send a clear message that they’re still fighting for the dream--$15 for Illinois and an end to racism. They also mounted protests over what they called, “Governor Rauner and President Trump’s, anti-worker and anti-union policies.”

rawing on the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King. Jr., who was killed 49 years ago, thousands of workers, racial justice activists, elected officials and clergy waged marches, rallies, teach-ins and vigils Tuesday as two of the nation’s most powerful social movements united in a “Fight Racism, Raise Pay” protest that echoed across two-dozen cities.

The protests stretched from Boston to Chicago to Los Angeles, culminating in a march by thousands on the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tenn., where Dr. King was killed April 4, 1968 while supporting striking black sanitation workers. The Rev. William J. Barber II, founder of the social justice movement Repairers of the Breach; Service Employees International Union President Mary Kay Henry, who has supported the Fight for $15 since the movement

started nearly five years ago; and the Great Talladega College Tornado Marching Band led the march through downtown Memphis.

In downtown Chicago, hundreds rallied at Federal Plaza to honor Dr. King’s legacy and to send a clear message that they’re still fighting for the dream--$15 for Illinois and an end to racism. They also mounted protests over what they called, “Governor Rauner and President Trump’s, anti-worker and anti-union policies.” Fast food workers, Black Lives Matter activists, and members of Fair Economy Illinois held a brief press conference and spoke out about the injustices they’re facing.

“This action is very personal for me and for my fellow fast food workers because most of us are Black and Latina workers” said Parrish Thomas, a worker at Popeye’s and KFC. “As a Black man, it’s inspiring to have seen Dr. King,

“The IPI and Governor Rauner propose that the state balance the budget by cutting the life-giving programs we know we need--which will make for strong neighborhoods, and a city that works for all” said Pastor Fred from One Northside. “They push policies that would strip workers of their union protections and lower wages for everybody.”

The marchers concluded the action with prayer, a spiritual hymn and left chanting “We’ll be back”. The evening continued at a Resist.Reimagine.Rebuild.

Rep. Stratton to Help Jobseekers Connect with Training Resources at Free Career Fair State Rep. Juliana Stratton, D-Chicago, is helping connect local jobseekers with resources that help them train for careers that do not require a four-year college degree at a free alternative pathways college and career fair on Monday, May 8 from 9 a.m. to noon at Vandercook College of Music, located at 3125 S. Federal Street in Chicago.

The high cost of a college degree shouldn’t be a roadblock to a good career,” Stratton said. “There are many different paths to a good career, and a number of ways for local residents to get ahead in a competitive job market. I am excited to bring these resources to young people who want to build for their futures, and all jobseekers who are looking for new opportunities.”

Stratton is partnering with state Sen. Mattie Hunter and state Rep. Sonya Harper to host the alternative pathways college and career fair. The fair is free and open to the public, and will allow residents to speak with representatives from various vocational and tech schools in addition to having the ability to collect free information on career opportunities and job training. Stratton’s job fair will feature information on barber and beauty college, massage therapy certification, law enforcement and security training and other certification and training programs. In addition, residents will have the opportunity to learn how to create an employer-ready resume, succeed during an interview and read common financial documents.

Federal Program Offers $35,000 to Assist Seniors Struggling with Reverse Mortgages The Illinois Housing Development Authority (IHDA) recently launched the Reverse Mortgage Assistance Program to help senior homeowners with reverse mortgages pay back taxes and avoid foreclosure. On April 3, IHDA began providing up to $35,000 in federal assistance to qualifying borrowers with reverse mortgages to pay overdue property taxes, eligible property expenses and future property taxes so they can avoid foreclosure and remain in their homes.

“There is a real need for this kind of assistance in Illinois,” said IHDA Executive Director Audra Hamernik. “Many of these seniors are on fixed incomes and took out a reverse mortgage to help with healthcare or everyday living costs. They don’t have the resources to weather an unexpected home repair, medical event or loss of household income. This program offers the help they need to get back on track with their payments before they lose their home.”

Reverse Mortgages allow homeowners 62 and older to borrow against the equity they have built up in their home. The proceeds the borrower receives from the reverse mortgage must be repaid when the house is sold or the homeowners move. The borrower is still responsible for paying property taxes and homeowner’s insurance, and if they are unable to keep up with their payments, they may lose the home to foreclosure.

Treasurer Frerichs to Return Purple Heart Medal to Vietnam War Veteran On Wednesday, April 5, Illinois State Treasurer Michael Frerichs returned a Purple Heart Medal to Vietnam War Veteran Harold J. Walker. Walker, who currently resides in Mississippi, lived in Illinois when he was drafted into the U.S. Army. The military medal is among several others belonging to Walker surrendered to the Illinois State Treasurer’s Office as unclaimed property. The Illinois treasurer’s office is the custodian of unclaimed property, including lost bank accounts, insurance policy proceeds, and forgotten safe deposit boxes. The Purple Heart is one of the most recognized and respected medals awarded to members of the U.S. Armed Forces.

ORGANIZATION’S PLAN TO BUILD YOUTH CENTER OFFERS HOPE TO MILLENNIALS

By Christopher Shuttlesworth Urban L.O.V.E. Community Development Corp. is a non-profit organization that focuses on empowering underserved youth through love and the gift of giving.

Organizer Saundra Roberts said the organization’s primary goal is to build a youth center through partnerships with local business leaders and the communities’ Alderman, Michelle A. Harris of the 8th ward.

“We are so geared on pouring into young people and helping the millennial group,” Roberts said. “We have so many students who are doing excellent and this type of news isn’t focused on in the media.”

She said the organization has students who are being accepted to colleges such as Arizona State and even some students who have opportunities to travel to Spain and other countries.

“Our organization is trying to get our community to not only understand the negativity, but also the positivity in the community,” Roberts said. “We have to help our community by keeping it safe.”

In Collaboration with New Life Believer’s Church, located at 9321 S. Cottage Grove, the organization has hosted several events for 10 years, which has included “Project LOVE, Back to School JAM and Free Health Screenings,” according to an Urban L.O.V.E. Community Development press release.

Roberts said if the organization, community and church leaders continue to bring positive news and share more love towards the young people, then there will be fewer deaths in Chicago’s streets.

“We can’t be afraid no more,” Roberts said. “We have to go out there and help these kids.”

She said the organization is planning to include a gym and a bowling alley, which will ultimately be located on 93rd and Cottage Grove Streets. Roberts said this will be a major way to uplift the neighborhood and give the next generation hope to know that they can make it to greater heights.

“The older people have the wisdom and the knowledge to help the youth and love on them,” Roberts said. “What the millennial children are doing today is preparing to rule the country and we must help them because they are our next generation.”

Cook County Assessor Joseph Berrios to Host Property Tax Appeal Seminar for Bremen Township Homeowners Bremen Township Reassessment Notices

Sch eduled to be Mailed Soon

Chicago - Cook County Assessor Joseph Berrios has announced his office will host an Assessment Appeal Workshop to help Bremen Township homeowners understand and appeal their properties’ proposed reassessment values.

The Assessment Appeal Workshop will be held on Thursday, April 25th, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Acorn Public Library located at 15624 Central Avenue in Oak Forest.

Each year, the Cook County Assessor’s Office (CCAO) reassesses one-third of the nearly 1.8 million parcels of property located in Cook County. This year, the CCAO is reassessing properties located in South Suburban Cook County. Bremen Township will be the sixth township to be mailed in the 2017 reassessment of South Suburban Cook County; Reassessment notices for Bremen Township are scheduled to be mailed in mid-April.

“Our outreach seminars are designed to provide homeowners with personal and local access to information regarding their new reassessment values,” Assessor Berrios said. “We want to ensure that taxpayers are provided with all the tools necessary to not only understand their assessments but also appeal them if they choose to do so.”

The reassessment notices contain proposed Tax Year 2017 reassessment values which will be reflected on SecondInstallment Tax Bills to be mailed and due in Summer 2018. The time to file appeals is now, however, when the reassessment notices are received and reassessment values are not yet final. Final reassessment values are usually in place for three years.

Representatives from CCAO will be at the seminar to answer questions and assist homeowners in filing assessment appeals. Taxpayers are encouraged to bring their reassessment notices; assessment information will also be distributed by Assessor Berrios’ office to attendees.

CCAO web site also has a wealth of information on property assessments and assessment appeals. In addition to being able to download and file appeal forms, residential property owners may also utilize the site to search for comparable property assessment information to include in their appeals. The Assessor’s web site is located at www.cookcountyassessor.com

THE MUSEUM OF SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY, CHICAGO ANNOUNCES ACTIVITIES FOR NATIONAL ROBOTICS WEEK WHAT: The Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago is celebrating the exciting

EVENT OF THE WEEK

GIVE BLOOD AND HELP

SAVE LIVES THIS SPRING Eligible blood donors of all blood types are encouraged to give blood through the American Red Cross this spring to help ensure a sufficient supply for hospital patients.

Donated blood is perishable and must constantly be replenished to keep up with hospital patient need. Red blood cells are the blood component most frequently transfused by hospitals and must be used within 42 days of donation.

Eligible donors can give red blood cells through either a regular whole blood donation or a Power Red donation, where available.

Power Red donors give a concentrated dose of red blood cells during a single donation, allowing them to maximize their impact. During this type of donation, red blood cells are separated from other blood components, and the plasma and platelets are safely and comfortably returned to the donor.

While donors of all blood types are encouraged to give blood, type O, A negative and B negative donors are urged to give Power Reds if they meet the additional eligibility criteria. Type O negative is the universal blood type and can be transfused to patients of any blood type in an emergency. Similarly, type O positive can be transfused to Rhpositive patients of any blood type. Types A negative and B negative can be transfused to Rh-positive or negative patients. Power Red donations help ensure a stable supply of these critical blood types.

Whole blood can be donated every 56 days, up to six times a year, and Power Red donations may be made every 112 days, up to

field of robotics during National Robotics Week.

On April 14 and 15 at MSI, guests can interact with cutting-edge robots during a variety of activities and competitions.

Guests can interact with a number of robots including PARO®, the furry baby seal therapy robot, and Sphero, the speedy robotic ball guests can control with an app. Demonstrations from university, after-school and hobbyist robotics teams will also take place in the Museum on these select dates during National Robotics Week.

Robots designed by Chicago-area student and amateur teams will be on display, and guests can watch a live robotics competition. Other activities

three times per year.

While the Obama Presidential Library promises to benefit the community, groups call for a written agreement

By Christopher Shuttlesworth

A local community coalition is calling for a community benefits agreement for the Obama Presidential Library.

The Obama Library Community Benefits Agreement Coalition said they feel a Community Benefits Agreement (CBA) is necessary due to Black residents being displaced by changes in communities such as the transformation plan of the Chicago Housing Authority (CHA) and the fall out of school closings, according to an Obama Library Community Benefits Agreement Coalition press release.

Attorney Allegra Cira Fischer of The Law Project, who’s working on behalf of the coalition to create an agreement said, attorneys view the CBA as a binding agreement between the developer and community members within the neighborhood.

Dominic Surya, who is an organizer of the Obama Library Community Benefits Agreement Coalition added, “We want to make sure that during the CBA meetings, we’re not affirming language about community benefits, but bringing community benefits to the Southside of Chicago and to the people who made former President Barack Obama who he is.”

Jawanza Brian Malone, a community leader who favors the agreement and who is also the Executive Director of the Kenwood-Oakland Community Organization, said every business in the world is bound by a contract and believes that this should be no different.

Malone added, “Communities around the world have been able to hold developers accountable to the communities where they seek to build. For us, this isn’t about whether we trust the first Black president to do the right thing. This is simply about business.”

“President and Mrs. Obama chose to develop the Obama

Presidential Center in the heart of Chicago’s South Side because it is the neighborhood they call home and the place they believed they could have the most impact,” The Barack

Obama Foundation Vice President of Civic Engagement Michael Strautmanis said. “The Obama Presidential Center will strengthen the economic climate in our community by bringing thousands of visitors to the South Side every year, creating new jobs, and revitalizing historic Jackson Park, he said, adding, “the foundation maintains the position that a community benefit agreement is not the tool that will have the most lasting economic impact on the South Side,” Strautmanis said. “The Foundation is encouraged by the energy and ideas that have come from hundreds of meetings with community organizations and residents, including those who are creating an economic development strategy that will engage the creativity, entrepreneurship, and work ethic that exists in the neighborhoods around the site of the Obama Presidential Center. We appreciate the efforts of everyone who is working hard to ensure the OPC becomes a catalyst for additional growth, and encourage everyone with an idea, expertise to offer, or additional resources to share to join the effort,” Strautmanis stated.

The Obama library is estimated to cost $600 million and could potentially create 1,900 permanent jobs and help build thirty restaurants, eleven stores, and even a hotel, according to UChicagogate.com.

“The permanent Obama Presidential Library will be constructed on Chicago’s South Side in Jackson Park.

The Barack Obama Presidential Library will be the 14th presidential library administered by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), a federal agency.

The Barack Obama Foundation has selected Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects | Partners (TWBTA) as the design team, with partners Interactive Design 3rd (IDEA),” according to obamalibrary.gov.

church Inspirations

from Rev. Dr. Derrick B. Wells,

Senior Minister of Christ Universal Temple

Adversarial Awareness

T

he prophet writer of Isaiah shared that just as the rain and snow fulfill the purpose for which each is sent, so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and succeed in the thing for which I sent it. Likewise, our words do not return to us void and these same words are filled with the power to accomplish what we speak. So whether we realize it or not, we never really outperform our conversation.

If we want to change our lives, we have to change the way we think of ourselves and if we want to change the way we think of ourselves, we need to change the words we say to ourselves. Life is already full of issues and challenges. Why add to them by discouraging yourself every day with negative self-talk?

Beneath the surface, each of us has an inner voice on a loud speaker trying to convince us of something about ourselves. What does your self-talk sound like and what is it saying to you? Is it a blessing to you? Do you encourage you? Alternatively, do you curse and criticize yourself?

Become your own encourager, your own cheerleader. Every time you do a good job, do not just let it pass; give yourself a compliment. Every time you choose discipline over indulgence, encourage yourself; recognize how much you are helping you. When you make a mistake, learn from it and improve but do not beat yourself up and relive the mistake without getting the lesson.

The help, boost, and acceptance you have been looking for might be found in the things you say to yourself! Speak life, especially to yourself!

FILM REVIEW: T2 TRAINSPOTTING

By Dwight Brown (NNPA Newswire Film Critic)

“Trainspotting” was a breakthrough film back in 1996. An edgy, eccentric blend of debauchery and rebellion set to one of the best British rock soundtracks ever made.

Twenty years later, the original director Danny Boyle (“Slumdog Millionaire,” “28 Days Later”) and screenwriter John Hodge assemble the same set of Scottish miscreants and make them deal with the aftermath of a betrayal that affected all their lives.

In the ‘90s film, Mark (Ewan McGregor) and Simone, aka Sick Boy (Jonny Lee Miller), were best friends since childhood. In their midtwenties, they hung out with the tall skinny dullard Daniel “Spud” Murphy (Ewen Bremner) and the short, violent and temperamental Francis “Franco” Begbie (Robert Carlyle). The four of them, and other comrades, had one thing in common: heroin addiction. It united them. Broke them apart. Caused death and destruction.

Their depraved indifference to life and traditional mores ended with a dope deal gone bad. Mark, who flirted with sobriety, ran off with £12,000 pounds. He left Spud £4,000, which went right into his arm. Simone got nothing. Franco got a jail sentence and a grudge against Mark that was eating him alive.

In 2017, nearing middle age, Mark’s yuppyish job at a Dutch software company ends. He returns to the scene of the crime, Edinburg.

These days, Simone, a cokehead, is in love with a prostitute named Veronika (Anjela Nedyalkova). The couple makes money by blackmailing clients, “Johns,” who are secretly videotaped as they bed Veronika, who dresses up as a dominatrix.

Spud is a bit of a depressed loner.

In fact, Mark is banging at the door of his flat just as his dejected friend is attempting suicide. Mark saves his life and Spud’s sour response is: “You ruined my life, and my death.”

Meanwhile, the fiercely vindictive Franco is plotting an escape from jail.

The reunion of these four is fraught with more anger, deceit, maleficence, apologies and ill will than a feud between Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.

It’s a hard task recapturing the dark humor and light spirits that made the original movie so shocking yet endearing. This script puts Mark and Simon on a mission to build a spa (brothel) that Veronika can operate.

Mark, whose libido knows no bounds, flirts with Veronika, knowing that

Simon loves her. But that’s Mark’s M.O: he can’t be trusted with a friend’s girlfriend. The character that gets the best facelift is Spud, who dares to dream big and finds an ounce of courage, when he had none in the first film. Franco, who makes a junkyard dog look like a prince, is so mean and violent he alienates himself from his family and goes after Mark with a sheer vengeance.

Boyle has a fun way with the footage. He will stop it cold; shoot scenes at odd angles (cinematographer Anthony Dod Mantle, Slumdog Millionaire); Cut in flashbacks (editor Jon Harris, “Kingsman: The Secret Service”); and add colorful and textured dreamy images over scenes (production design Patrick Rolfe and Mark Tildesley; art direction Patrick Rolfe). It is a pleasure to watch him weave his artistic magic.

And though the soundtrack doesn’t boast a song as catchy as the first movie’s hit tune “Lust for Life,” some of the kinetic music has a throbbing beat.

Boyle’s innovation helps greatly as you realize that this script is not as fresh as the 1996 one, which was based on a novel

by Irvine Welsh. That screenplay treaded new territory that audiences couldn’t fathom: Poor Scottish adolescents, living in and around wealth and middle-class amenities, unable to hold down a nine-to-five and relegated to a parallel world. Their degeneracy and irresponsibility had no limits, and they were so oblivious to reality that a baby died while in their

custody. That stream of decadence was a jolt to the senses. Nothing in this film is quite as shocking. But then

again, what could be?

McGregor, Miller, Bremmer and Carlyle slip into their old characters,

friendships, jealousies and rivalries comfortably—like they were trying on a pair of old faded, torn jeans that still fit or dusting off old drug paraphernalia. At one point Veronika points out to Mark “You’re a tourist in your own youth.” That’s the way it feels watching these graying, saggy-eyed fortysomethings trying to get their mojo back. They can’t relive their lives, but they can die trying.

In the end, there is something woefully nostalgic about watching McGregor, Miller, Bremner and Carlyle running down the cobblestone streets of Edinburg with an urgency and abandonment that is similar to the chaos they wreaked in “Trainspotting.”

The guys are a few paces slower, and almost as reckless. Just like T2.
