HISTORIC PULLMAN FOUNDATION AND NORFOLK SOUTHERN LAY FOUNDATION TO BRING RARE RAILCARS TO PULLMAN NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK AND STATE HISTORIC SITE

CHICAGO – Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) and Historic Pullman Foundation (HPF) announced a commitment by Norfolk Southern to help create an interactive rail exhibit at the Pullman State Historic Site and Pullman National Historical Park where visitors will experience close up the historic railcars on display, including those once manufactured on the historic site.

The commitment, including a $250,000 contribution from Norfolk Southern, coincides with the second anniversary of the Park’s grand opening over Labor Day and recognizes the significant historical contributions of Pullman’s impact on the American labor movement, civil rights movement, and railroad transportation.

Still in the planning phase, the exhibit is expected to restore about 1,000 feet of rail track and an accompanying rail support yard on the State Historic Site. It would also include a display structure over the support yard in front of the Rear Erecting Shop adjacent to 111th Street to protect the exhibit cars.

“In connecting the rail car exhibit to an active rail network, the spur would help park visitors to visualize Pullman’s historic role involving civil rights and fair labor while also demonstrating how the community is continuing to evolve as a center of investment for the Far South Side, the city and the region,” said Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson.

Planning for the project began earlier this year with an engineering and operational feasibility study. The proposed project would include the restoration of a spur track off Norfolk Southern’s Chicago Pullman Branch Line to directly serve the former Pullman railcar manufacturing plant by rail.

“The pride of the Pullman neighborhood and South Side of Chicago is on full display with this remarkable railroad partnership. The revitalization and restoration of the community to bring it back to its former heyday as a cultural, social, and economic powerhouse has been many years in the making, but we have written a successful playbook for other neighborhoods throughout the country to replicate. On this Labor Day, I can emphatically state that the Pullman Progress Train has officially left the station,” Ninth Ward Chicago Alderman Anthony Beale said.

The estimated cost for the entire exhibit is still under study as part of the planning phase.

CONGRESSMAN JONATHAN L. JACKSON CELEBRATES LABOR DAY

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Rep. Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL-01) released the following statement celebrating Labor Day and the contributions of those who made the holiday possible:

“All across our country, Americans are taking a well-earned rest to spend time with their loved ones this Labor Day Weekend. It is a chance to celebrate the contributions of the countless working men and women who have built the labor movement — like the late, great A. Philip Randolph.

“A. Philip Randolph was a towering figure in both the labor and civil rights movements. His Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters was the very first Black labor union to achieve a union contract signed by a white employer. Additionally, Randolph was the first to dream of the March on Washington For Jobs and Freedom.

“To honor the legacy of Randolph and so many others who’ve powered the labor movement, Congress must pass H.R. 20, the “Richard L. Trumka Protecting the Right to Organize Act of 2023,” to guarantee every worker can exercise their right to join a union.

“To working men and women everywhere, thank you for your labor and enjoy the holiday weekend!”

CTA Scholarship helps students in the engineering and construction field

Continued from page 1

BY TIA CAROL JONES

Washington, who graduated from Kenwood Academy High School, is studying civil and construction engineering at Morehouse College where he is a freshman. He is one of three students who have been awarded the 2023-2024 CTA Elevating Futures Scholarship Fund.

Washington hopes to go into construction and city planning after he graduates from Morehouse. Having Chicago Scholars partner in the scholarship has helped him develop core skills and meet new people.

“They also help academically, with resources and offerings of tutoring and even summer internships in the meantime,” he said.

RFP.

“The ultimate goal was to try and diversify the engineering and construction management side of the construction industry. This is a small drop in the bucket, but we wanted to show that it can be done through these investments,” Prieto said.

At $2.1 billion, RPM is the largest capital project to date in CTA’s history and CTA wanted to do some good with it. With Chicago Scholars, CTA and Walsh Fluor wanted to give students the tools to be successful while they were pursuing their degrees. CTA wanted to make sure there were experts who were able to help the students navigate the transition from high school to college, since some of the awardees might be first generation college students.

Prieto said.

The scholarship fund launched in 2020 and is a partnership between CTA and Walsh-Fluor, which is the prime contractor for the Red and Purple Modernization (RPM) Phase One Project. Since it began, more than $225,000 has been awarded to 10 students who are pursuing degrees in the engineering and construction fields.

Students will receive $5,500 per student for four years. Walsh-Flour has provided the financial support for the scholarship and Chicago Scholars has been providing mentoring support. This is the last year for the scholarship.

JuanPablo Prieto, Director of Diversity Programs at CTA, said within the Request For Proposals (RFP) for the Red and Purple Modernization Phase One Project, it called for innovative strategies on how to diversify the workforce in the construction industry. Walsh-Fluor included a scholarship that would be awarded to students in economically disadvantaged areas that were pursuing STEM degrees within their

Students who have received the scholarship have served as interns in their field, and one was an intern with Walsh-Fluor. They are getting real world experience.

“It definitely gave these students some of the financial support they needed to pursue their dreams in engineering and other construction-related fields,” Prieto said, adding that the hope is the students will work for CTA directly or will work for a contractor that will win a project for CTA.

The hope also is that the students who have been awarded the scholarship will make an impact in the construction industry and how investments like these benefits the community as a whole.

CTA welcomes any company that is submitting a proposal to include a program like this one. It is very intentional in the language it uses in its diversity outreach plan. It calls for contractors who are bidding on CTA work to ensure students can pursue degrees in STEM and construction.

Chicago – The American Cancer Society is thrilled to announce the upcoming Discovery Ball, a remarkable event dedicated to ending cancer and promoting health equity. This elegant evening, set to take place at The Hilton Chicago on September 30, is more than just a celebration; it’s a statement of commitment improving the lives of people with cancer and their families through advocacy, research, and patient support, to ensure everyone has an opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer.

With a mission deeply rooted in research, patient support, and advocacy, the American Cancer Society remains steadfast in its pursuit of a future where cancer is not only treatable, but also preventable. The Discovery Ball is a continuation of these efforts, uniting supporters and partners under one roof to celebrate victories, share stories of resilience, and outline the path ahead.

ADM, one of the world’s largest nutrition companies, joins hands with the American Cancer Society as a primary sponsor of this year’s event. “ADM is proud to partner with the American Cancer Society in the fight against cancer. Our connected efforts help us live ADM’s purpose of enriching lives and reflect our dedication to promoting health and well-being. By supporting the Discovery Ball, we can all contribute to vital research and initiatives that impact lives across the nation,” said ADM Chair and CEO Juan Luciano.

ADM’s co-presenter, KPMG, a global network of professional firms providing audit, tax & advisory services, also stands shoulder to shoulder with the American Cancer Society in its fight against cancer. KPMG Chicago Office Managing Partner Travis C. Hunter, Jr. affirms, “We believe in the power of collective action and the importance of coming together for a shared cause. Our support

Gov. Pritzker Announces Federal Grant Supporting Tradeswomen in Illinois

Illinois Department of Labor and co-grantee

Chicago Women in Trades to promote careers in construction, infrastructure

CHICAGO — Governor JB Pritzker joined Acting U.S. Secretary of Labor Julie Su, representatives from the Illinois Department of Labor (IDOL), and Chicago Women in Trades (CWIT) to announce a $1.35 million federal grant to the Illinois Department of Labor. This funding will go towards supporting tradeswomen-led efforts to train and support the entry of more women into infrastructure and construction careers.

“Today’s announcement of another grant from the U.S. Department of Labor recognizes what we know to be true: Illinois is a national leader in building pathways for women into infrastructure and construction careers,” said Governor JB Pritzker.

“By cementing this priority in the implementation of the $1.2 trillion Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill, the Biden-Harris administration has established a new era in our efforts to diversify an industry that has historically lacked job opportunities for women, and particularly for women of color. We may still have a long way to go in dismantling decades’ worth of barriers, but we’re making progress on building that future today.”

“Illinois’ legacy in the labor movement could not be achieved without the dedication and hard work of women in the trades, helping to create good union jobs and uplift working families,” said Lt. Governor Juliana Stratton. “With the support of our administration and the General Assembly, the Illinois Department of Labor will continue to improve our roads and bridges while empowering more women to join our local workforce.”

palities and states, including Illinois, to continue investing in workforce training. The legislation sets equity goals and priorities on federally-financed infrastructure projects ranging from roads and bridges to airports and waterways.

“In order to build an economy from the bottom up and the middle out, we need a workforce that brings in all of America—this grant and others like it help to do just that,” said Acting Secretary of Labor Julie Su. “The Department of Labor is working closely with our partners at the federal, state and local level to ensure that workers, families and communities that have historically been left behind will benefit from the once-in-a-generation investments of the Biden-Harris Administration. I’m glad to be joining Governor Pritzker to make this announcement, which will bring more women workers into good jobs in the construction industry.”

“It’s our goal that with this grant, while working alongside Chicago Women in Trades, we can continue to transform the public construction and infrastructure workforce to include more women,” said Illinois Department of Labor Director Jane Flanagan. “That starts with greater access to the industry, apprenticeships, and using data to measure retention and opportunities for advancement.”

COOK COUNTY TREASURER MARIA PAPPAS TO HELP TAXPAYERS SEEK REFUNDS DURING SEPT. 14 PHONE BANK WITH ABC 7

Cook County Treasurer Maria Pappas and ABC 7 Chicago will host a “Black and Latino Houses Matter” phone bank Sept. 14 to help taxpayers learn if they are owed refunds.

Taxpayers may call 312-603-5105 between 11 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 14 at the Cook County Treasurer’s Office. Phone bank representatives will help taxpayers search for potential refunds by checking whether property taxes were overpaid for the past 20 years. Callers can also discover whether they are entitled to refunds for missed exemptions for the past four years.

Samantha Chatman, consumer investigative reporter with ABC7’s I-Team, will report on the phone bank throughout the day. Phone bank callers may provide an address to researchers who can look up a parcel’s Property Index Number, or PIN.

Phone bank workers will help callers by searching $84 million in available property tax refunds, checking eligibility for $34 million in missing property tax exemptions and verifying whether a property is on a tax sale list due to delinquent taxes.

“Duplicate payments happen all the time, and many Cook County homeowners are unaware the county owes them money,” Pappas said. “One year my own taxes were overpaid because my husband and I both paid the tax bill.”

The Treasurer’s Office and ABC7 have held seven phone banks since 2021 and helped 14,080 taxpayers identify $28.9 million owed for overpayments and missed exemptions.

Owners of residential properties may be eligible for six types of exemptions: homeowners, senior citizen, senior freeze, returning veteran, disabled person and disabled veteran.

SENATOR PRESTON PROMOTES TRADESWOMEN CAREERS

In support of tradeswomen-led efforts to train and support the entry of more women into infrastructure and construction jobs, State Senator Willie Preston commends a $1.35 million federal investment to the Illinois Department of Labor to fund the undertaking.

“As a small business owner of a construction firm, I am excited to see an industry diversified that typically lacks opportunities for women,” said Preston (D-Chicago). “This federal grant is a huge win for Illinois in dismantling systemic barriers for women and creates equitable pathways for communities that have historically left behind.”

A $1.3 million federal grant to the Illinois Department of Labor will help bring more women into the construction industry, where they make up barely 4% of the workforce nationwide. The funding to the Illinois Department of Labor will allow Chicago Women in Trades to provide specific guidance on program design and best practices to construction companies, unions, public bodies, and other stakeholders to promote workforce equity on infrastructure projects. The funding seeks to promote gender equity and inclusion in the male-dominated field through established equity goals while prioritizing local federally financed infrastructure projects and empowering more women to join their local workforce.

“Creating more pathways into the trades industry has been a priority of mine before I took on my role in the Senate,” said Preston. “I will continue to fight for programs that support our local commerce, our trades and underserved communities. The support for this grant alone is great progress, but there is much more work to be done on the ground now to see a transformation in the construction and infrastructure workforce to include more women.”

Diverse suppliers are good for business and the community

Diverse businesses are the backbone of many of communities. That’s why JPMorgan Chase is committed to helping these businesses develop and thrive. Ted Archer, Global Head of Business Partner Diversity for JPMorgan Chase, recently spoke about why diverse suppliers are good for business and the community.

1. How did you come to lead supplier diversity at JPMorgan Chase and what inspired you to get involved in this work?

I’ve been at JPMorgan Chase for seven years and most of my career has been dedicated to building business programs that drive economic growth. One of the most rewarding parts of my job is working with underrepresented businesses to make sure they have the tools they need to succeed. At JPMorgan Chase, supplier diversity is just one way we make dreams possible for these diverse business owners, their employees, and their communities.

2. Why should companies prioritize supplier diversity?

Supplier diversity provides companies with access to innovation. Diverse suppliers bring new perspectives and solutions to business problems. They also know how to operate efficiently with limited resources, and are agile to suit different business needs. In addition, supplier diversity generates wealth in diverse communities. Diverse suppliers tend to hire within their local areas, providing jobs and incomes, lifting the overall economy. A prosperous and thriving community is good for everyone.

3. How are you re-thinking supplier diversity? What is JPMorgan Chase doing differently?

An important component of supplier diversity is supplier development. Small and underrepresented

businesses often don’t have access to the same resources, financing and contacts that large majority-owned companies do. Building deeper relationships with these businesses enables us to identify other ways to support their growth, including creating connections to networks that lead to contract opportunities, capital and other resources.

4. How are you amplifying the impact of supplier diversity across the wider business community?

We have mobilized over 100 of our top suppliers to mirror the firm’s commitment to supplier diversity by creating and enhancing their own supplier diversity programs. Through mentoring, coaching and education, we help these companies develop and operate their own sustainable supplier diversity programs, which will generate opportunity and growth for decades.

The results speak for themselves: 85% of the businesses enrolled in our mentorship program launched

new supplier diversity programs in 2022. Additionally, over the last two years, nearly 90% of our top suppliers have committed to spending increases generating more than $6 billion in new spend with underrepresented businesses.

5. How would a diverse business get started working with large companies like JPMorgan Chase?

For businesses interested in providing services to companies in the private sector, the best first step is to become certified by a diverse business certifying organization. While many business owners are familiar with government diversity certifications, there are also certifications recognized by private-sector corporations, such as the National Minority Supplier Development Council or the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council. These organizations can also help connect businesses with prospective corporate clients via conferences, seminars and webinars – all designed to provide business owners with information and enable them to meet and network with corporate executives.

In addition, companies with active supplier diversity programs often have online registration portals through which they invite business owners to share their company history and capabilities. JPMorgan Chase has a Supplier Diversity Network, which is a searchable database for our supplier diversity and sourcing teams to find new diverse businesses when contract opportunities come up.

6. Are there any final thoughts?

Supplier diversity programs are good for any business, and they have a powerful positive impact on employees, families, and communities. It’s an honor to work with diverse businesses to provide jobs, lift local economies, and make dreams come true.

Anne Klein played a powerful role in the American triumph of the Battle of Versailles and remains the torch bearer to this seismic event that shifted not only American culture, but changed the way people dress around the world. To mark the anniversary, on September 11th Anne Klein will partner with NYFW: The Talks to produce a panel discussion entitled “Battle of Versailles 50: The Making of Fashion History.”

Tookes will moderate a distinguished panel at Spring Studios that includes those who were originally part of the historic Versailles event:

Designer Stephen Burrows, the last surviving designer from the original ten (10)

Donna Karan, the right hand of Anne Klein at that time. Anne was the sole female designer of the original ten (10)

Trailblazing models Alva Chinn and Pat Cleveland whose legendary modeling styles revolutionized the catwalk

Although Klein founded her eponymous brand in 1968, forever changing the way women dress, the Battle of Versailles emphatically turned the spotlight on American Sportswear giving it equal footing among the leading French fashion houses. Its universal appeal today is wardrobe staples to buy now and wear forever.

“We take immense pride in honoring Anne’s legacy and keeping that flame alive,” said Jameel Spencer, CMO in Residence for Anne Klein. “The Battle of Versailles not only presented Anne Klein’s work on a world stage, but it was the impetus for social shifts, racial awareness and American magic. As we celebrate multiple milestones this year, in what would’ve been our founder’s 100th birthday, we are thrilled to partner with Jasmine Tookes to recognize the strength of diverse women impacting the world in positive ways and doing it with style and grace like only women can.”

“I am thrilled to be a small part of this storied brand founded by a powerful woman,” adds Tookes, “I’d like to think my power as a woman is my positivity and being able to be a role model for mothers and business women managing it all with grace and style.”

American photographer Tom Schirmacher shot the Anne Klein Fall/Winter ‘23 campaign on the streets of New York City. The campaign captures a modern woman in a fast-paced world dressed in rich classics suited for her every need and worn gorgeously by Jasmine.

Carhartt Honors Longstanding History by Portraying Generational Legacies in New Brand Campaign

DEARBORN, Mich., PRNewswire -- Since 1889, Carhartt has worked tirelessly to innovate durable gear for generations of hardworking people who “get the job done.” Behind every triple stitch and every patch, the bare hands and know-how of the nation’s hardest workers have conquered new frontiers, connected continents and accomplished countless milestones generation after generation. To celebrate those milestones, and the new ones to come, Carhartt is launching a new brand campaign that celebrates 135 years of hard work, while inspiring the next generation to make their own history.

“History In The Making” encourages hardworking people to write their own history and leave a meaningful legacy. The :30 spot – which follows traditional and next frontier occupations including turbine operators, deck hands, construction workers, ranchers and urban farmers – pays homage to the legacies built in Carhartt gear over the years, while underscoring the company’s pursuit of helping people forge their legacy as the world evolves. Using juxtaposed historic-sounding audio and modern video to incorporate the old with the new, the multi-channel campaign intertwines the heritage, history and enduring value of Carhartt with the hardworking people who make history every day.

“Every day is a new opportunity to make history and leave a positive, lasting impact for those around us, our communities and the world,” said Susan Hennike, chief

brand officer at Carhartt. “Every time you put on Carhartt gear, you don’t just wear history, you make it.

As we enter our next chapter, we are excited to serve and protect people as they leave lasting legacies for another century and beyond.”

Fittingly, the “History in the Making” spot also nods to Carhartt’s own history and how the company’s longstanding values have shaped what it is today. While that core mission hasn’t changed, the world has, requiring ongoing evolution and innovation of iconic Carhartt styles to meet the needs of future generations. Featured in the spot, Carhartt has highlighted its iconic outerwear, including the all-new Super Dux jacket and Montana collection, durable pants and women’s gear –further emphasizing the company’s commitment to making gear that’s comfortable, adaptable to all environments, provides great fit and is built to last. Additionally, Carhartt will highlight its own “History in the Making” with the Putting on the Gloves social media video series scheduled to debut in the coming weeks. Each video will focus on one of the most iconic items kept in the company’s Vault, giving viewers an exclusive look at heritage gear that has served and protected hardworking people throughout Carhartt’s history.

Leveling the Playing Field

BEREA, Ky. and FRANKFORT, Ky., PRNewswire -The executive team of This Field Looks Green To Me, a feature film project currently in production, has committed to sharing the profits of the film with Kentucky State University (KSU) and Berea College (BC).

This film, set in a 1950s coal-mining town with Jim Crow laws still in effect, will engage people across generations by telling a true Appalachian story about kids, baseball, and the power of grassroots action in smalltown America. The film’s executive producer, Ron Schmidt, explained that KSU, a Historically Black University (HBCU) and BC, a Kentucky college that has been racially diverse since its inception, are ideal recipients for some of the film’s profits.

“Both schools provide both Black and white students from Kentucky, Appalachia, and beyond, tangible opportunities to live together and learn from each other in an educational context, and this aligns perfectly with our project,” he said.

Kentucky Exemplars

“Both schools recognize that creating and maintaining a racially diverse student body enhances learning for all students,” Schmidt added.

Seventy-five percent of the students at BC come from low-income Kentuckian and Appalachian families. More than half of the student body at KSU are people of color.

As an example of this commitment from KSU and BC, Schmidt pointed to the recent formation of a new initiative, the Association for Teaching Black History, in partnership with the Muhammad Ali Center and the Thomas D. Clark Foundation. Schmidt has proposed that Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear recognize BC and KSU as state “Educational Exemplars” for their efforts to advance the best interests of all students in the state.

This Field Looks Green To Me

One of the central outcomes of the movie will be to engage community mentors in building positive relationships with disadvantaged kids over the course of time. The film is proceeding rapidly toward filming and production, with filming scheduled to begin in Middlesboro and Paducah, KY in 2024.

In addition to telling this powerful story of how community can affect grass-roots change, This Field Looks Green To Me will highlight the beauty of the Appalachian people and their multi-ethnic culture – its mountains and original music.

For information about the film please visit www. thisfieldlooksgreentome. com. To join the effort to recognize these educational exemplars, please contact Schmidt at ronschmidt81@gmail.com or 216-255-1892.

4 Tech-Friendly Ways to Ace the School Year

(Statepoint) American families are expected to spend record-high amounts this back-to-school season. According to the National Retail Federation (NRF), families with children in elementary, middle and high school will spend $890 on average for school items, while those with college-aged students are looking at more than $1,360 in shopping expenses.

Whether your kids are off to kindergarten or college, here’s how you can shop smarter and prepare for the school year:

1. Upgrade Your Devices. Electronics and tech are a top priority for families this school season. The NRF says Americans are expected to spend a collective $15 billion on electronics for back to school and $23 billion for back to college. The good news is that you may be able to score deals this backto-school season to help save on smartphones, wearables and more. T-Mobile is offering a free REVVL 6 Pro 5G, OnePlus Nord N30 5G or Samsung Galaxy A14 5G when adding a voice line for each device on a qualifying plan via 24 monthly bill credits plus tax. Plus, if T-Mobile customers prefer to gear up with a wearable, they can score the wireless company’s exclusive SyncUP KIDS Watch for free when adding a qualifying watch line via 24 monthly bill credits plus tax.

(StatePoint) More American families are borrowing for college. At the same time, merit aid and the use of personal income and savings is falling.

That’s according to an annual College Ave Student Loans survey of college students at four-year universities, conducted with Barnes & Noble College Insights. The survey also found college affordability is top-of-mind for the majority of students (57%). Despite financial concerns, 81% of students report that a college degree is crucial for their future.

“The mix of methods that families use to pay for college has shifted, however one thing remains consistent: students and families value the investment in higher education,” says Angela Colatriano, chief marketing officer of College Ave.

Everything You Need to Know About Student Loans

Before turning to private student loans, first exhaust other sources of financial aid. Complete and submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid to be considered for grants, scholarships, work-study programs and federal student loans. If your selected school is one of the 400 institutions that requires the CSS profile, submit that too to qualify for institutional aid. Finally, search for private scholarships offered by companies and non-profit organizations. One easy one to apply for is the College Ave $1,000 monthly scholarship sweepstakes. If you do need to borrow, turn to federal student loans in the student’s name first, which generally offer the lowest rates and come with additional benefits. They don’t depend on credit

scores, and offer longer deferments and forbearances, income-driven repayment plans and student loan forgiveness.

Private Student Loans

Federal student loans have annual and aggregate loan limits. If you find yourself needing to borrow parent or private loans to cover remaining costs, consider these factors:

• Costs: Compare costs of different loans by looking at the actual interest rate you’ll be charged, not the lowest advertised rate. Understand the difference between variable and fixed interest rates, and be aware of any fees and available discounts, such as those offered for using autopay.

• Cosigners: A creditworthy cosigner doesn’t

just increase the odds of loan approval, even if the student can qualify on their own, cosigning may yield a lower interest rate, reducing the overall cost of the loan.

• Total Debt: Borrow only what you need. With private loans, you can usually borrow up to the total cost of attendance. However, borrowing less than the maximum can help you save over time. A simple rule of thumb you can use to determine how much student loan debt you can afford: If total student loan debt at graduation, including federal and private loans, is less than the student’s annual starting salary, you can likely repay the

success by creating a school bedtime and wakeup routine a couple weeks before school begins to help ease into the new academic year. Apps like Moshi use sounds, sleep stories and even meditations to encourage better sleep for kids, and Calm can be used for college students and parents to ease stress.

Get ready to rock the school year with some savvy planning, deal-hunting adventures and a dose of healthy habits that create an epic year ahead for you and your family.

loans in 10 years or less.

• Repayment: Look for repayment flexibility to match your needs. For example, College Ave Student Loans offers 5-, 8-, 10- and 15year repayment options, along with the choice of deferring payments until after graduation or beginning payments right away. No matter what option you select, understand the terms.
