BLACK INVENTORS:

CHANGING HOW WE DO BUSINESS

ver the last 500 years, Black people from Africa, and their descendents have fully participated in the development of the world’s agricultural, business, medical and scientific innovations and inventions. When citing inventors, few books mention the accomplishments of Black inventors outside the United States. That list often excludes Black inventors from Africa, Australia, Canada, Caribbean, Central & South America, Europe, Russia and the United Kingdom. But that changed in 2008, with the release of a book called, “Black Inventors, Crafting Over 200 Years of Success,” by

Keith C. Holmes. The book is now available as an e-book on a number of different eReaders, book distributors, bookstores, educational institutions and libraries, according to a press release on africaresource.com. As reported on Globalblackinventor.com, the book identifies black inventors from five continents, over seventy countries, including almost all fifty states in the United States. Citing a number of black inventors from 1769 - 2007, the book is one of the most comprehensive works on black Inventors since Henry E. Baker’s research on Black inventors in the early 20th century. While there is documented proof that blacks worldwide have

CHICAGO - ComEd recently announced that Verónica Gómez has been promoted to senior vice president and general counsel. Gómez previously served as the vice president and deputy general counsel for litigation at Exelon, ComEd’s parent company. In that role, Gómez was responsible for litigation cases on behalf of all Exelon companies, including ComEd. This litigation included third-party disputes and litigation in support of multi-billion dollar transactions. Prior to joining Exelon, Gómez was a litigation partner at Neal, Gerber & Eisenberg and before that at Schopf & Weiss (now Honigman Miller), where she served on the Executive Committee. In her new role, which she assumed on January 1, Gómez serves as ComEd’s primary legal advisor and oversees the company’s regulatory policy, strategy and rates function. She replaces Thomas S. O’Neill, who was recently appointed as the senior vice president and general counsel of Exelon. Gómez will report to Anne Pramaggiore, ComEd president & CEO. “I am delighted to have Veronica join my senior team. She is a proven leader and exceptional thinker whose experience and knowledge in regulatory policy will provide continued focus in our strategic efforts,” said Anne Pramaggiore, president and CEO of ComEd. “Her knowledge of our company and insight into the direction we’re trying to move in as a 21st century utility will be an invaluable asset to us achieving our goals.” Gómez grew up in Darien, Ill., and graduated from Hinsdale South High School. She received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science and Economics with departmental honors in Political Science from Stanford University and her law degree from the University of Chicago Law School. Gómez serves on several boards including Illinois Legal Aid Online, the Chicago Bar Foundation, and Friends of Jones College Prep. She also is a Governing Member Ambassador for the Chicago Zoological Society.

savings for the state. “Children love their parents, even when their parents are less than perfect, and taking them from their homes should be a last resort, when we can’t ensure their safety any other way,” Sheldon said. “Congress allows for waivers like this because there is bipartisan agreement that strengthening and preserving families is the right policy for children.” Illinois has had a waiver for specific programs in Cook County, but the new waiver extends the program statewide. The waiver expires in 2019. Under current Federal Law, it cannot be renewed. After that, federal funds would again be limited to supporting only children actually in foster care. Illinois received $192 million in Federal foster-care funds in fiscal 2016. The Administration on Children, Youth and Families is part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. In December,

the Administration for Children, Youth and Families also awarded DCFS federal planning dollars to begin the development of a new statewide child welfare technology system. The Request for Proposals to implement that project will go out later this month. About the waiver: In 1994 Congress passed Public Law 103–432, which established Section 1130 of the Social Security Act (SSA) and gave the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) the authority to approve State demonstration projects involving the waiver of certain provisions of titles IV-E and IV-B of the SSA. These provisions govern Federal programs relating to foster care and other child welfare services. Conceived as a strategy for generating new knowledge and innovation, these waivers grant States the flexibility in the use of Federal funds for alternative services and supports that promote safety, permanency, and wellbeing for children in the child protection and foster care systems.

NEW APPOINTMENT AT COMED

DCFS TO STRENGTHEN AND PRESERVE FAMILIES SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – The Federal Administration for Children, Youth, and Families has granted Illinois a waiver of restrictions on federal foster-care funds to let the Illinois Department of Children and Families address family problems without having to remove children from their homes and putting them in foster care. “It’s a win-win,” said Illinois DCFS Director George Sheldon. “We sought this waiver because it helps us strengthen and preserve families instead of breaking them apart. We can avoid the much greater financial cost to taxpayers as well as the trauma to children that results from having a child in foster care. It’s a better deal for taxpayers, and the right thing for the children.” The waiver is known as a IV-E waiver after the section of law that provides federal support for foster care. Because Illinois has longer average stays in foster care and because of the long-term costs for children in foster care, the flexibility is likely to produce long-term

changed the way America and people across the globe do business, black inventor-entrepreneurs are also making their impact known in world-wide and in Chicago. Through an organization called, The Chicago Inventors Organization, (CIO) formerly known as the Chicago Black Inventors’ Organization, inventorentrepreneurs are finding a pathway into breaking into big box stores while avoiding costly scams. “To avoid being taken advantage of, the first thing you need to do is to join an inventors’ organization, said Calvin Flowers. As the owner, and creator of a cell-phone security jack company and President & Founder Chicago Inventors Organization (CIO), Flowers speaks from experience. Flowers found credible help to market his own invention and later created Tel-Loc, a company that produced his Security Jack products. The Security Jack invention device locked touchtone phones and internet services. Flowers’ business sky-rocketed, and he sold more than $1 million worth of products to Walgreens. But that success didn’t come with out paying a price. He shares his remarkable story on CIO’s website at chicago-inventors.org where he explains how necessity truly became the mother of invention. Flowers advises inventors to be fully engaged

in the process of getting their invention to the marketplace. “You want to be hands on in every step of your project. You may have to hire people to help you, but at the end of the day, you have to understand the full details of your invention. You can get taken advantage of when you’re not a good negotiator.” Though Blacks have made significant contributions in the way of inventions, Flowers said many Blacks haven’t received credit for their inventions. “At the heart of our organization, we still have a focus on Black inventors. As Blacks, we have always been inventive people and our contributions and inventions were never recognized. The reason why we couldn’t move forward with our inventions is that our ideas got stolen, or we didn’t know how to market our inventions.” Through CIO, Chicago native, Lawrence Glenn, owner of GPK Associates Inc. invented a compact disposable urinal container, called “One For the Road,” which according to Glenn, will appear in big box stores beginning in February. Recently, Glenn’s invention was on display at the Chicago Inventors’ monthly meeting. Glenn stated that it had taken more than eight years to perfect his invention, but offers encouragement to inventors to never give up on their dreams. Creator of the wrap braid technique and a

member of the Chicago Inventors Organization since 2003, Frances Simmons of Chicago stated that becoming a member of the inventors’ organization is beneficial and provides support for those seeking to take their inventions to the next level. “Being a member of the organization has helped me to understand that when you do go forth to create inventions, you just can’t sit on the ideas, you must move forward and take your ideas to the next level. Membership opens doors, but you still have to work to get your invention out there.” And what about budding entrepreneurs? Flowers said CIO has a youth initiative component that inspires children to become inventors as well. “Our goal is to plant innovative seeds to inspire young children to become inventors so they the can start thinking about how they can make money. It is our mission to start these types of projects.” For more information about the Chicago Inventors Organization, please log on to www. chicago-inventor.org.

1 Food, Fuel, and Finance ...The 3Fs of Economics

Nearly half of U.S. high school students say they do not know how to establish good credit and more than one-fourth believe they will be unprepared to manage their finances upon graduation. This is according to recent research that reveals a lack of financial literacy among American youth. But teachers and schools can now turn to a dynamic interactive learning module, Foundations of Finance, to introduce students to fundamentals of personal finance, such as saving, applying for student loans and buying a car, among other features. The module -- one of three aligned with the Council for Economic Education’s standards for economics -- is offered by CME Group, the world’s leading and most diverse derivatives marketplace, and Discovery Education, the leading provider of digital content and professional development for K-12 classrooms. Foundations of Finance also presents students with fundamentals of economics using real-world scenarios, interactive components, embedded assessments, and accompanying Educator Guides. The Foundations of Finance module is part

of an Econ Essentials trio of standards-aligned educational modules that includes: The Facts About Food, which lets students take a journey from “farm to table” by serving as an advisor to a farm, and Fueling the Future, which challenges students to start a shuttle business.

In The Facts About Food module, students learn how the supply chain and other global factors influence supply and demand. They also explore the role of economics in food prices as well as what influences food prices. With the Fueling the Future module, students learn about supply and demand by discovering how and why gas prices fluctuate and the impact of changing gas prices on their daily lives. Students apply their knowledge to set a ticket price for their business to determine if they make a profit. Teachers find that the Econ Essentials educational program helps their students learn fundamental economic principles in an engaging, digital environment. “Students become equipped to make wise decisions in both their public and private lives, and also grow such important skills as critical thinking, problem solving, media and information literacy,” says Jackie Prester, business and technology teacher at Mansfield (Mass.) Public Schools. More information about Foundations of Finance and the food and fuel models are available at http:// www.econessentialsinschool.com NewsUSA

VOTER SUPPRESSION NOT VOTE FRAUD IS THE FACT, SAYS JACKSON CHICAGO – President Trump is pushing alternative facts again and chasing millions and millions of ghosts, said Rev. Jesse L. Jackson, Sr. Founder and President Rainbow PUSH Coalition in a released statement. Jackson’s comments came after President Trump alleged 3 to 5 million people voted illegally in last year’s election. President Trump is now vowing an investigation into alleged voter fraud, despite a lack of evidence behind his claim. “There is no discernible evidence of vote fraud in the 2016 election as the president claims without a shred of proof,” Jackson continued in a news release. “There is, however, substantial evidence of voter suppression. That is the real threat to our democracy,” he said. “Last year’s election was the first in 50 years without the full protection of the Voting Rights Act

of 1965 and Jefferson Davis Democrats turned into today’s Republicans took full advantage of it. “In North Carolina, for example, The New York Times reported the day after the election that even after a federal appeals court struck down the state’s “outrageous voter-suppression law in July, saying that it targeted black voters” with “almost surgical precision,” Republican legislators started spinning new schemes against the crown jewel of our democracy – the protected right to vote. “The day before Mr. Trump was elected president, The Times reported, the state’s Republican Party boldly boasted in a press release that cut backs in early voting hours reduced ‘black turnout by 8.5 percent below 2012 levels, even as the number of white early voters increased by 22.5 percent.’ “I spoke at a college last fall where the closest

polling place was a three-mile bus ride away from campus. Between 2014 and 2015, 868 precincts were moved across the country, turning voting into a kind of treasure hunt. “Sen. Jeff Sessions has a history of supporting voter suppression schemes in his native Alabama, the epicenter of the voting rights movement of the 1960’s. He applauded the U.S. Supreme Court’s gutting of the Voting Rights Act in 2013. To put him in charge of the Department of Justice (DOJ) is the ultimate scheme of oppression and suppression. “For the president to consistently speak about “facts” without evidence is astonishing. But because he is president, we should have a full DOJ investigation into vote fraud and voter suppression and let the real facts – the fact facts – come out,” Jackson stated.

(NewsUSA) - An international art contest celebrating children’s visions of peace capped off its 20th year by recognizing a teenager from Malaysia as the grand prize winner. The grand prize winner of this year’s Lions International Peace Poster Contest is Ming Yang Soong, a 13-year-old boy from Bidor, Malaysia. His poster, selected from 350,000 entries from 81 countries, portrays the theme “Peace Around the World.” As the grand prize winner, Soong receives a trip to New York City for a special award ceremony during Lions Day with the United Nations. “All nations must work together to keep this world peaceful,” Soong said. “If there is peace in the world, we can progress and live in harmony. I hope that all countries on this planet will support peace.” During the past two decades more than four million children, ages 11 to 13, have artistically shared their visions for peace through the Lions International Peace Poster Contest. Lions Clubs sponsor the contest in schools and organized youth programs. The contest provides an outlet for children and adults to discuss the meaning of world peace while visually portraying their

Now entering its 21st year, the contest has been held in more than 100 countries. “Today the world is divided into pieces by hatred, terrorism and war,” said Kajol Chetan Bid, a merit award winner from India. “Together we can make this world a better place to live in - a world full of love and peace.” Winners have come from all across the

globe, many from areas where children do not know peace. “Peace is a gift to live and to let others live it,” said Feliccina Sioufi of Lebanon, a merit award winner.

GWENDOLYN BROOKS AT 100

Dozens of organizations launch “Our Miss Brooks: A Centennial Celebration” to honor groundbreaking Pulitzer Prize winner and Illinois Poet Laureate Chicago, IL – To honor the legacy and enduring contributions of poet Gwendolyn Brooks, and to inspire a new generation of writers, dozens of institutions, artists and educators have joined to create programming for Our Miss Brooks: A Rita Dove Centennial Celebration. Through June 2018, the celebration features readings, performances, school programs, discussions, exhibits and more; most will be free and open to the public. Our Miss Brooks: A Centennial Celebration (OMB100) kicks off on Thursday, February 2, 2017 with an unprecedented and high-profile reading of Brooks’ works by the five other African American Pulitzer Prize-winning poets: Rita Dove, Yusef Komunyakaa, Natasha Trethewey, Tracy K. Smith and Gregory Pardlo. The reading will be held at the Art Institute of Chicago’s Rubloff Auditorium from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. and is free and open to the public; online registration is required. The reading is produced by The Chicago Community Trust with the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and the Poetry Foundation. It will be hosted by Kendra G., WGCI-FM morning show radio host, and moderated

by Natalie Moore, WBEZFM’s South Side reporter and author of The South Side: A Portrait of Chicago and America. Gwendolyn Brooks was the first African American writer to receive a Pulitzer Prize, and she served as the Illinois Poet Laureate from 1968 to 2000. Through her work, she was an activist, a feminist and an insightful observer of Black life. Perhaps no other poet has captured the essence of Chicago life more than Gwendolyn Brooks. In the centennial of her birth, she remains an important, historic voice. “Gwendolyn Brooks is one of the few poets whose work was as at home in pool halls, community centers and bars as it was in academia and classrooms,” says Quraysh Ali Lansana, artistic director of OMB100. “Her art endures because it’s so finely crafted and meticulously constructed around timeless subjects. She lived in Chicago, among us and chronicled 20th-century black life in Chicago more comprehensively than other writer of her time. This celebration will remind some, and enlighten others, of just how much she loved this city.” More than 40 local and national partners are developing OMB100 programs.

SERVICES ARE YOU INTERESTED IN ADVERTISING IN OUR CLASSIFIED SECTION?

he Cook County Department of Transportation and Highways (DoTH) is seeking applications for transportation-related projects throughout Cook County as part of the President Toni Preckwinkle’s initiative to build and maintain a comprehensive regional transportation network. For the first time, Cook County is launching an $8.5 million program to help cover the cost of planning, engineering, right-of-way acquisition and construction associated with transportation improvements sponsored by local governments and private partners. This new program seeks projects that broaden the County’s traditional focus on County roads to include pedestrian, bicycle, transit and freightrelated improvements. The call for projects, dubbed “Invest in Cook,” is an initiative of Connecting Cook County, the County’s first long-range transportation plan in 75 years. Connecting Cook County lays the groundwork for how the County invests in transportation to attract and retain businesses, people, capital and talent. “The goal of Invest in Cook is to ensure that transportation investments are made wisely by identifying the universe of transportation needs and prioritizing them,” Preckwinkle said. “Invest in Cook ties transportation investments to greater economic growth and to more livable communities by making sure businesses and residents have safe and convenient transportation options.” DoTH has expanded its traditional focus on its own roads and bridges to include partnering with local communities in an effort to build and maintain a comprehensive network that addresses multiple modes of transportation. “Connecting Cook County calls on Cook County to be a leader in

setting and implementing regional transportation policies,” Preckwinkle said. “Different levels and units of government need to collaborate to deliver regionally significant improvements that yield long-term results.” In addition to funding projects, Invest in Cook will provide technical and grant-writing expertise to help communities tap into new funding sources and accelerate the completion of projects that may have languished. “Invest in Cook means communities that have suffered inequities in the distribution of transportation resources will see much-needed capital investments,” said Cook County Commissioner Deborah Sims, the chairwoman of the County’s Roads and Bridges Committee. “I am eager to see investments in disadvantaged communities that retain companies, create jobs and make communities better places to live.” DoTH is seeking applications from local governments and transit agencies. Private for-profit or non-profit organizations

can submit project proposals, but must have a public sponsor. The deadline to apply is 5:00 PM CST on March 17, 2017. Invest in Cook seeks projects consistent with the priorities detailed in Connecting Cook County: · Prioritize transit and other transportation alternatives · Support the region’s role as North America’s freight capital · Promote equal access to opportunities · Maintain and modernize what already exists · Increase investments in transportation Cook County transportation staff will evaluate and score the proposals using publicly available, performance-based criteria and a qualitative assessment to determine which projects will be chosen this year. Program information is available at www. cookcountyil.gov/ InvestInCook. Award letters will be sent out in the summer of 2017, and a corresponding list of grantees will be published on the project webpage.

“Skincare Musts for a Valentine’s Day Glow” It’s the big night, and you’ve probably thought it all out, but do you have a glam glow game plan? Don’t worry, Vaseline’s “Skincare Musts for a Valentine’s Day Glow” checklist has your back (lit e r a l l y ) ! Skincare s h o u l d always be #1, especially on this day of love and pampering – so as you prep, make sure to follow these simple steps to radi ant skin. 1. Expert Exfoliation: All beauty prep starts in the shower, so make sure you cover all your bases on the road to glowing skin! The answer to extra smooth skin right out the shower is using a body brush or exfoliating gloves. Scrub your body in a circular motion to remove all the dead skin cells and follow up with a nourishing body wash. 2. Smooth to the Touch: If you plan on getting up close and person al with your significant other on Vday don’t forget the 2nd most important part to touchable skin – lotion! Exfoliation can be quite drying to the skin, so make sure you hydrate it again by applying Vaseline® Intensive CareTM Cocoa RadiantTM Lotion all over – it’s specially designed to lock in moisture, keeping skin soft, smooth and glowing. Your sweetheart will SO thank you for it! 3. Hands & Feet Love: Don’t neg lect your hands & Feet! Mix a little sugar in the palm of your hand slow

ly drizzle olive oil over it. Begin mas saging scrub into fingers and hands for about 45 seconds. Now wash hands with warm water, dry with a clean towel and apply hand lotion. For your feet, wash them before bed and slather them with lotion, then put on your favorite fuzzy socks, and in the morning, you’ll have soft feet ready for the night’s adven ture. 4. Bright Eyes: If you’re feeling tired and overworked, chances are it shows on your face. So take some time before your date to sit down, take a breath and reduce swelling and darks circles with a couple of chilled cucumber slices. You will appear fresh faced and alert, ready for wher ever the night takes you! 5. Luscious Lips: The last thing you want on Vday are dry, cracked lips! But the winter weather doesn’t help our cause, so, get crafty and make your own at home lip scrub. With just a mix of 1 tsp of coconut oil, 1 tsp of raw honey, 2 tbsp of granu lated sugar and a dash of lemon juice you’re ready to exfoliate using your fingers to create soft, circular motions over your lips. Rinse with water and apply Vaseline® Lip Therapy® Rosy Lips limited edition Valentine’s Day Tin*, its nonsticky lip formula is invit ingly soft and melts onto lips to give you a perfectly kissable pout. *The new limited edition tin is avail able exclusively at Target beginning January 2017

Businessman Hearman Roberts Receive Street Named In His Honor Herman Roberts born in Beggs, Oklahoma, was the youngest of six children. At age 12 the Roberts family moved to Chicago, Illinois and Roberts quickly became an entrepreneur. As Roberts was on his daily job, which was cleaning cabs, a cab driver asked Roberts to "drive him home and then take the cab back to the garage. Roberts stated that he did not have a license but the cab driver didn't care. While Roberts was driving the cab back to the garage he picked up a fare. From there Roberts began driving cabs for a living. At first he only could afford to rent cabs but was able to purchase his cab license, which cost $3,000, in the early 1940s. Overtime he amassed a total of 40 cabs. Eventually, Roberts decided to sell the cabs, to build the largest show club in Chicago on 66th and South Parkway (now known as King Dr.). Roberts booked special acts such as African American Entertainer Sammy Davis Jr.,African American singer Dinah Washington and more. He quickly real ized that his acts had no place to stay, so Roberts built a motel called Roberts Motel across the street, which launched him as the largest Black motel owner in the world. With the rising price to book entertainers, Roberts changed the Show Club to a bowling alley, a skating rink and now New Beginnings Church. The crown of his empire was his motel named Roberts 500, which had 273 rooms including a restaurant, ballroom, hair salon, bar and other amenities. Roberts amassed a total of 10 motels, building eight from the groundup. He also purchased motels in Gary, Indiana and Beggs, Oklahoma. Roberts returned to his home town to build a home in Beggs, Oklahoma in 1981. The land he purchased had been an oil field and in 1981 he successfully drilled for oil and struck it rich. Roberts received a street named in his honor from 63rd67th King Drive in Chicago, Illinois. Photos by Jerome Photography 312.375.5704.
