ACTIVIST, LAWYER AND IMMIGRATION LAW SCHOLAR MARIA WOLTJEN TO DELIVER NORTHEASTERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY’S COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS Activist, lawyer and immigration law scholar Maria Woltjen will be Northeastern Illinois University’s May 2019 Commencement speaker on May 6 at Credit Union 1 Arena, 525 S. Racine Ave. in Chicago. Woltjen is the founder and Executive Director of The Young Center for Immigrant Children’s Rights at the University of Chicago Law School. The Young Center’s primary work is to advocate for the safety and well-being of unaccompanied and separated immigrant children.

HEALTH

NATIONAL SAFETY COUNCIL: 2018 WAS DEADLIEST YEAR ON RECORD FOR HOT CAR DEATHS Tragically, more children died in hot cars in the United States in 2018 than any other year on record, the National Safety Council recently confirmed. Fifty-one children died last year of pediatric vehicular heatstroke, topping the single-year high of 49 set in 2010. In response, the Council is releasing a free online training “Children in Hot Cars” that provides vital information about pediatric vehicular heatstroke and outlines how distraction and other behaviors can lead to these unnecessary deaths. The “Children in Hot Cars” e-learning course provides information about why cars heat up so quickly, why children in particular can succumb to increasing temperatures in cars, and what parents, caregivers and others can do to prevent these needless deaths. To access the “Children in Hot Cars” e-learning course, visit nsc.org/hotcars.

LAW & POLITICS

UNDERWOOD BILL TO PROTECT PEOPLE WITH PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS ADVANCES OUT OF EDUCATION AND LABOR COMMITTEE The Education and Labor committee recently considered and passed Rep. Lauren Underwood’s legislation, H.R. 1010, which would help protect Americans with pre-existing conditions by overturning an Administration rule that expands short-term, limited duration insurance, commonly known as “junk plans.” The bill has already been considered and passed by the Energy and Commerce Committee. “No person in this country should be denied insurance coverage as a result of a pre-existing condition. Americans deserve quality and affordable healthcare and I’m proud to see the very first bill I introduced passed by a committee on which I serve,” said Congresswoman Underwood. In February, Underwood joined members to introduce H.R. 1010 following the Administration’s decision to finalize the Short-Term, Limited Duration Insurance rule, which excludes protections for pre-existing conditions and essential health benefits provided by the Affordable Care Act.

Chicago Community Loan Fund Hosts Community Development Centered Workshops Continued from page 1 BY KATHERINE NEWMAN

The Chicago Community Loan Fund recently announced that it will host a series of workshops to help both established and potential community developers be both successful and socially impactful. The workshops will compile development assistance, sustainability resources, and customized training opportunities for developers and their up-and-coming community projects. The Chicago Community Loan Fund is a nonprofit community development financial institution that was designed to provide economic opportunities that will strengthen emerging communities across Chicago. “There are folks in the community that are interested in doing some development and they are trying to figure out how they can be an entrepreneur in their community. I’ve found that it’s good for people to learn how they can work in their community,” said Taft West, vice president of Technical Assistance and Sustainability at the Chicago Community Loan Fund.

On April 18, there will be a Social Enterprise workshop at the Illinois College of Optometry, 3241 S. Michigan Ave., from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. and the attendance fee is $25. On May 15, there will be a Regulatory Requirements workshop at the Chicago Community Loan Fund office, 29 E. Madison St., from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. also for $25. “We have one workshop coming up in April about social enterprise because sometimes doing good in the neighborhood doesn’t pay good and you have got to figure out how to do what you want, how to do it right, and how to keep the lights on,” said West. The workshops last for about two hours and include a variety of industry experts who lead participants through activities and there is a significant amount of time that is dedicated to questions and answers with the experts. After the workshops, participants are asked to fill out a short survey about the value of the information that they received and what other topics they would like to see covered. This is how the Chicago Community Loan Fund makes sure it’s providing

Federal Court Orders Illinois Business Owner to Pay $1,439,678, in Restitution, Serve 5 Years in Prison for Fraud Involving Investors’ Savings CHICAGO – The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois has sentenced Lake County, Illinois-based business owner Richard Booy, to serve five years imprisonment followed by an additional three years of supervised release, and to make $1,439,678 million in restitution for defrauding his clients in a Ponzi-type scheme totaling approximately $2 million. As a result of the the March 18, 2019 sentencing, Booy is statutorily barred from serving as a fiduciary under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). Booy pleaded guilty on July 26, 2018, to one count of mail fraud. Founder of the Libertyville, Illinois-based Principal Financial Strategies, LLC (PFS) and owner and operator of the now-defunct Vernon Hills, Illinois-based Safe Financial Strategies Inc., Booy used the promise of no-risk investments and guaranteed returns to persuade his primarily elderly clients to invest their money with him. The action follows a joint investigation by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA), the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, and the State of Illinois Securities Department. “Fraudulent transactions like these can cause irreparable damage to the retirement savings of individuals and their future financial security,” said Employee Benefits Security Administration Regional Director Jeffrey Monhart, in Chicago. “The U.S. Department of

Labor is committed to protecting retirement savings and holding those that commit fraud accountable for their actions.” Although Booy claimed to be affiliated with the widely known Des Moines, Iowa-based investment firm Principal Financial Group, he allegedly had no actual relationship with the firm and was not authorized to invest client funds with it. Booy continued his investment scheme even after Principal Financial Group in September 2016 obtained a temporary restraining order against him that led to a court-authorized seizure of his computer and other evidence from Booy’s home. The fraud scheme began in approximately August 2012 and continued to about December 2016. Most of Booy’s victims are elderly, and some placed their entire life savings or funds from retirement accounts with him. Booy often met personally with the victims in their homes, misrepresenting to them that their investments were guaranteed to return a profit. Instead of investing the funds as promised to clients, Booy used the victims’ money to cover personal expenses, including credit card debt and purchases at Best Buy and DirecTV, and to pay earlier investors through Ponzi-type payments. Employers and workers can reach EBSA toll-free at 866-444-3272 for help with problems related to private sector retirement and health plans.

the learning opportunities that community developers want and need. “We looked at the landscape around what we want to do, which is to uplift the underserved community, and came up with a number of things that people who are developers or want to be developers are interested in. Beyond that, I do a little questionnaire during each workshop to learn what people’s hot button issues are and what they are interested in so that we can continue to plan workshops that are beneficial to them as growing developers,” said West. The goal of these workshops is to spark community-centered development, familiarize people with the Chicago Community Loan Fund, and most importantly to “start a conversation with the community about what we can all do together to make the neighborhood better,” said West. “Sometimes people come and are just thinking about the idea of being a developer and these workshops give them a spark to go further,” said West.

Children United With Black Firefighters The Black Fire Brigade recently held its first annual Breakfast with a Firefighter at the Black Fire Brigade. Children from across Chicago were invited to participate in the event. Firefighters and EMT students prepared and served breakfast to more than 200 children and their parents. The children participated in an Easter Egg Hunt, played games, took rides on a fire trolley and met and took pictures with firefighters. Two fire engines were on hand for the children to explore. The goal of the breakfast is to give children a chance to bond with black firefighters and expose them to fire safety, according to a press release.

Student From Wendell Phillips Academy Receives Youth Change Maker Award BY KATHERINE NEWMAN

Mikva Challenge, a nonprofit youth development organization, recently hosted their 20 Year Anniversary Fundraiser where three young people were honored with a 2019 Youth Change Maker Award for their work and leadership in health, justice and equity, and peace and public safety initiatives. Trevon Walker, a senior at Wendell Phillips Academy in Bronzeville, was one of those winners and was recognized for co-founding Teens and Cops Together in Chicago Successfully (TACTICS) which works to build positive relationships between police officers and young people in Bronzeville. Mikva Challenge was founded in 1998 and is a non-partisan, nonprofit organization guided by the notion that the best way to learn democracy

is to do democracy. The mission of Mikva Challenge is to develop youth to be empowered, informed, and active citizens who will promote fairness and equity in their communities, according to information provided by Mikva Challenge. “Mikva Challenge was founded 20 years ago by Judge Abner Mikva and his wife. It was a way for them to bring voices to the table that were not usually invited and this meant high school aged young people. It started as an elections program and eventually grew into what we are today,” said Karla Castilla, program director of the Democracy in Action program for Mikva Challenge. While participating in a Mikva Challenge program at his school, Walker and his classmates identified that there was a problem with the relationship between young people and the police in their community.

Together, the class had been working on finding ways to improve the relationships between cops and students not just in their school but in their community as well. “Trevon’s class was participating in the Issues to Actions Program which is where young people get to select an issue in their community and then go through a process of figuring out how they could fix that problem or create change within that problem,” said Castilla. They focused on creating a curriculum to help police know how

to interact better with young people because they saw that as an issue.” During the in-class activities, Walker showed great leadership in coming up with solutions to the problem they had identified as a class. He then went on to continue the work himself outside of school and that is what led him to be named a 2019 Youth Change Maker. “Trevon went on his own and kept working on this issue which is why he was awarded the Youth Change Maker Award because he took it

upon himself to continue the work that he started in the classroom,” said Castilla. In addition to giving three Youth Change Maker Awards, Jack Marco received a Legacy Award for being at the forefront of founding Mikva Challenge. Berto Aguayo, a Back of the Yards native and former gang member, received an alumnus award for his work as a community organizer and civic engagement strategist.

NEWS Community Developers And Residents Come Together To Dedicate A New Public Sculpture BY KATHERINE NEWMAN

Woodlawn residents recently gathered at the corner of E. 61st Street and S. Cottage Grove Avenue, right in front of the new Jewel-Osco store, to participate in a dedication ceremony for the new 17-foot sculpture known as the Wonder of Woodlawn. The Wonder of Woodlawn was

designed with significant input from residents about what they would be proud to see in their community and features names and symbols that represent the neighborhood’s history and African American history. During the dedication ceremony, the artist, Bernard Williams, described the sculpture as being inspired by the ferris wheel of the

World’s Columbian Exposition, also known as the Chicago World’s Fair, which took place in 1893 and is seen as being a defining moment in the city’s history. “This resulted from a community process where residents came and shared so much about the history of Woodlawn and things that I didn’t know about, the great leaders, peo-

ple, and artists who come from this community. This is why Woodlawn has a chance to have a different fabric, a different culture, and a different streetscape,” said Leon Walker, managing partner of DL3 Realty and one of the sponsors of the new sculpture. This new sculpture is the crowning jewel on a series of developments that have all recently been completed in this area including the new Jewel-Osco, the Trianon Lofts, and the MetroSquash Center that now occupy three of the four corners at 61st Street and Cottage Grove. The redevelopment effort in Woodlawn has been largely led by the Preservation Of Affordable Housing (POAH) which is a nonprofit developer whose mission is to preserve, create, and sustain affordable housing stock to support economic security, according to the POAH website. “What we try to do at POAH is work community first and development second and the community really took this and made it happen and the community has the voice that tells us what direction they want their community to go in,” said Felicia Dawson, vice president of

community partnerships for POAH. Prior to POAH stepping in and taking a lead in Woodlawn, Dr. Leon Finney, Jr. was known for spearheading community development in the neighborhood. “I’ve seen many things happen in this community throughout the years,” said Finney. “My longtime friend Bill Eagar from POAH, a great organization, picked up the medal that we carried for over 50 years and became the driving force for this community.” During the dedication ceremony, several community residents shared their thankfulness for the organizations that are working in the community and their willingness to include residents in the planning process. “Bernard’s sculpture encapsulates that hope and that feeling of pride in the past and that expectancy about our future,” said Walker. “This is a proud community and neighborhood and all of us here on the development team, with the city, and our partners at POAH put a lot into this and there is no better moment than this when you can deliver on a promise and deliver hope again for this community.”

Prince: Three Years Later Fans say their ‘Guitar still Weeps’ BY STACY M. BROWN NNPA NEWSWIRE CORRESPONDENT @StacyBrownMedia

Three years ago, the world lost another icon: Prince. Prince Rogers Nelson, the Minneapolis-born, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame honoree and multiGrammy-winning artist collapsed in an elevator and died of an accidental prescription drug overdose at his Paisley Park home and studios on April 21, 2016. He was 57. Standing at just 5 feet 2 inches, the legendary Purple Rain singer was proof that physical stature is no indication of the impact an individual can have on the entire world. “No other single album influenced me as a teenager and into my adult years more than Purple Rain,” said Michael Stover, president of MTS Management Group and MTS Records. “The album is sheer perfection, and Prince was a once in a lifetime. I’ve always told people that Prince is the 20th and 21st century equivalent to Mozart or Beethoven,” Stover said. Prince’s groundbreaking 1984 album Purple Rain sold more than 20 million copies worldwide and produced such era-defining hits as “When Doves Cry,” “Let’s Go Crazy,” and the title track, “Purple Rain.” The album earned three Grammy Awards and three American Music Awards while the film earned an Oscar for Best Original Song Score, the last to receive the award. Just two years prior, in 1982, Prince released,“1999,” his fifth studio album which sold more than 6 million copies and was his first to reach the top 10 on the Billboard music charts. It proved that the crossover star was just getting started. Born on June 7, 1958 Prince was named after his father, whose stage name was Prince Rogers and who performed with a jazz group called the Prince Rogers Trio, according to the website PrinceVault.com. In a 1991 interview, Prince’s father, John L. Nelson, said he named his son Prince because “I wanted him to do everything I wanted to do.” With albums like “Prince,” “Controversy,” “1999,” “Purple Rain,” “Sign O’ the Times,” and “Musicology,” Prince released nearly 1,000 songs over his career. He has won multiple Grammy Awards, American Music Awards, a Golden Globe and an Academy Award. In 2004, Prince was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. That same year, he was named the top male pop artist of the past 25 years and Rolling Stone ranked Prince No. 27 on their list

of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. “The highlights of Prince’s life are so many – how to pick one? From the first time I watched Purple Rain in the theater – where the girls in Boston screamed at the screen every time Prince was in a scene – to the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame solo on While My Guitar Gently Weeps; to the most amazing Super Bowl halftime performance ever where Prince said, ‘Can you make it rain harder?’ when a concerned producer checked in with him before he was supposed to go on; his life was one of brilliance that inspires us to this day,” recalled Terence O’Toole Murnin, a Prince fan who lives in Arizona. Another fan, Nicholas Wolaver, attended what would be Prince’s final concert series in Atlanta in 2016. It was following that show that a plane carrying the superstar was forced into an emergency landing because Prince needed immediate medical attention for an apparent overdose. Doctors revived Prince and less than a week later as a private doctor was arriving at Paisley Park to help the singer with addiction, he was dead. “I started listening to Prince in the fourth grade with Little Red Corvette and other pre-Purple Rain hits on the radio,” Wolaver said. “Later my college journey took me to Minnesota where the local scene was much more informative about Prince’s impact there. I attended three of his concerts in Atlanta, including an arena show, an intimate performance with only a few hundred people and finally that penultimate concert at The Fox Theatre,” Wolaver said. “For the arena and intimate show, he was all about the guitar, while the piano was the centerpiece for the final events – he rocked any instrument he touched. I still have a recording from that penultimate concert on my phone and play it often and reflect on the life he led and music he created. He’s greatly missed,” he said. For Ginna Currie of New York, she said she’s thankful that famed director Spike Lee throws an annual block party in Brooklyn in memory of Prince. “I have been a Prince fan since 1979’s ‘I Wanna Be Your Lover,’” Currie said. “It is still hard to comprehend that there will be no more Prince concerts to attend. Every couple of years Prince was in the New York metro area on tour,” Currie said. “He was the consummate entertainer with singing, dancing and playing guitar, piano, drums. I listen to his music almost every day and I just wish [Prince’s] family would release the music inside the vault,” she said.

Undesign the Redline Exhibit Now Open The National Public Housing Museum (NPHM) invites the public out to the opening of an important exhibition Undesign the Redline, in partnership with Enterprise Community Partners, Designing the WE and Elevated Chicago. The exhibit runs now through May 31 at the museum office on 625 N. Kingsbury St, 10:00AM to 5:00PM. Coming to Chicago on the latest leg of its national tour, Undesign the Redline is an interactive exhibition that explores both the impacts of discriminatory housing policies and the innovative responses of activists to counteract systemic racism and classism. Examining the history of structural discrimination through the near century-old history of Redlining, the exhibit invites visitors to share their own ideas to undesign systemic housing issues in the present day. Featuring stories of housing activism such as Marion Stamps & the Chicago Housing Tenants Organization successful Rent Strike against HUD, Martin Luther King’s Chicago Freedom Movement, and Dorothy Gautreaux’s successful discrimination lawsuit against the Chicago Housing Authority, Undesign the Redline speaks to the troubled past, present and future of racially biased housing policies in America. “The legacies of redlining, including unequal economic opportunities, health and education disparities, and racial segregation, are still deeply part of our city,” says National Public Housing Museum Executive Director Lisa Yun Lee, “and we need to go upstream to solve these issues. And for us, upstream means going back in time and becoming astute students of history to understand how these systems came to be in order for us to undo them for our collective futures.” Also on display at the museum will be a collection of rare color photographs of Dr. Martin Luther King leading the Chicago Freedom Movement, taken by Bernard Kleina during King’s visit to Chicago in 1966. The only known color images of King in Chicago, Kleina’s images capture King’s momentous work to protest unfair housing policies in the city. The exhibit will also feature an installation by photographer Celestia Morgan that explores the history of racial housing discrimination exemplified in Birmingham, Alabama. The opening night party will be held in conjunction with the Chicago Area Fair Housing Alliance (CAFHA). Before its run at the NPHM, the exhibit will be available at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago Money Museum. After appearing at the National Public Housing Museum, the exhibit will be hosted in two more locations in Chicago: the Loyola University Museum of Art, from June 18 to October 19, and the Harold Washington College, from October 28 to November 29. For a full schedule of the exhibit’s tour around the country, please visit the Enterprise Community website. The National Public Housing Museum preserves, promotes, and propels housing as a human right, and the right for all to a place where they can live and prosper—a place to call home. The Museum’s permanent home is currently under construction, and will be located in the last remaining building of the historic Jane Addams Homes at 1322 West Taylor. The Museum will include restored apartments from multiple generations of public housing museums, an oral history archive and storytelling spaces, an Entrepreneurship Hub, and public art galleries that bring people together to create positive impact on policy and communities. The exhibit is reachable by public transit. Ample street-meter parking surrounding the oﬃce is available as well as a public parking lot at 520 North Kingsbury Street, which charges $12 per hour at the corner of Grand and Kingsbury. This event is wheelchair accessible. Individuals requiring sign-language interpreters, real-time captioners, or other accommodations should contact Mark Jaeschke at 773.245.1621 or mjaeschke@ nphm.org at least one week in advance of the event.
