In politics, one who wields their iron fist in a velvet glove is one who has the diplomacy and tact to resolve things rationally, but the guts to use the power of that fist when circumstance demands.

Power can be inherited or passed on, but true power is earned – attained through slow and strategic calculation that is held by those that practice patience, strength and resourcefulness.

Toni Preckwinkle embodies that concept.

The Cook County Board President has never been about bling or flash; rather, she’s steadfast and strategic – no showing off or showing out for her. But she is the quintessential iron fist in the velvet glove because you never see it coming.

For the past 25 years, Preckwinkle has steadily moved up the ranks of the Cook County Democratic Party.

She first served as alderman of the 4th Ward for 19 years and strengthened relationships with Hyde Park, Kenwood and Bronzeville families that have set down roots in those communities for decades.

It’s one of the few truly diverse wards in the city and includes the University of Chicago – a villain to some and a savior to others.

Preckwinkle’s dedication to various groups has created a delicate balance as she has quietly built her power and her influence. She became Cook County Board President in 2010, after beating incumbent Todd Stroger, Jr. During a very intense campaign, Preckwinkle said she would roll back what remained on Stroger’s penny sales tax increase, only to later bring back the same sales tax in 2015 to curb the county’s fiscal crisis, proving that timing is everything in politics.

During her six years in office, Preckwinkle has created an environment that cultivates the grooming of fresh talent within her administration, and a distinct pattern demonstrates that.

In 2012, Christian Mitchell, who served as her Director of Outreach and External Affairs, won election as Illinois State Representative for the 26th District. He was re-elected in 2014 and won his third-term primary fight last week.

City of Chicago Treasurer Kurt Summers, who was appointed by Mayor Rahm Emanuel in 2014 and won election to the post for a full term in 2015, formerly served as Preckwinkle’s chief of staff.

In August 2015, Kim Foxx resigned after working in the Cook County Board President’s office for three years. She was first Preckwinkle’s deputy chief of staff and after Summer’s departure, stepped into the role he vacated as chief of staff.

Toni Preckwinkle

BOSS: The Iron Fist in the Velvet Glove The resignation immediately sparked questions over where and why Foxx – a rising star in the Preckwinkle administration – would leave after such a short time.

Foxx has had a good run in both the public sector, working in the Cook County State’s Attorney office for 12 years, and moving into the private sector as the president of the board of directors for Planned Parenthood Chicago.

By the time Foxx’s announcement to run for Cook County State’s Attorney in the primaries hit the airwaves – it was not news to insiders at City Hall – the move had Preckwinkle’s fingerprints all over it.

Having won the primary over Anita Alvarez and heading into the November general election, Foxx has run a campaign built on her independence, personal journey and triumphs.

From a modest background, she

worked hard to attain a law degree and serve in the juvenile courts. Although most of her professional career was not centered around Toni Preckwinkle, the connection between the two was clear and apparent.

Preckwinkle has a track record of success, but has had some unsuccessful endorsements as well. She backed 28-year-old Blake Sercye in the 2014 Cook County Board Commissioner’s race against former chief of staff to Congressman Danny Davis, Richard Boykin.

When Boykin won, some questioned Preckwinkle’s ascension as “crown holder.”

Others more familiar with her history and quiet discipline thought differently.

They believe that you should never bet against Toni Preckwinkle because you will eventually lose.

WOMEN’S HISTORY Eleana Elan Defender Contributing Writer As women we have come a long way; as Black women, there is a way to go. Our experience as women has still been worse than our White counterparts and only because we are Black.

This issue celebrates the women of The Race in a big way because we have accomplished much to be recognized.

This particular story, however, is to remind us that we must always stay focused, and move full steam ahead. The story captures the life of Ruby McCollum, who stood up against a system that meant to crush and bury her.

Ruby McCollum, who was born August 31, 1909 and died May 23, 1992, was a wealthy married African-American woman living in Florida, known for killing a prominent white doctor in 1952 who had been elected to the state senate.

Mrs. McCollum was allowed to testify during her trial that the doctor had abused her and forced her to have sex and bear his child. However, much of her other testimony was prevented by objections from the prosecution.

“They didn’t want to think Doc Adams was the type of man that would sleep with a Black woman – would rape a Black woman over and over again, would beat her, harass her, torment her, terrorize her, drug her without her consent. I mean, what type of person would do that?

“Doctor Adams was that kinda guy,” says Ruth Thompson-Miller, a professor of sociology and anthropology and the writer of Jim Crow’s Legacy: The Lasting Impact of Segregation (Perspectives on a Multiracial America), notes in the documentary You Belong to Me: Sex, Race, and Murder in the South.

The Raping Policeman Her story is significant because it is the precedent for former Oklahoma City police officer Daniel Holtzclaw, who was sentenced to a full 263 years in prison last week for a series of rapes and sexual assaults against Black women living in his beat area.

Holtzclaw was convicted in December 2015 on 18 separate counts of rape, sexual battery, forcible sodomy, and lewd exposure. He had been charged with 36 separate counts stemming from the allegations of 13 different women.

The 18 convictions against Holtzclaw came from charges levied by eight of those 13 accusers, and had a maximum combined sentence of 263 years. He will spend the rest of his life serving the entire sentence.

All 13 women who accused him of sexual assault in various forms were Black.

1952 Ruby McCollum 1973

The Strange Case of Ruby McCollum Prosecutors said, “Holtzclaw took a deliberate, systematic approach to his victims.” He didn’t choose CEOs or soccer moms. He chose women he could count on not telling what he was doing,” prosecutor Lori McConnell said in closing arguments. “He counted on the fact no one would believe them and no one would care.”

Holtzclaw’s formula failed when he targeted a 57-year-old woman who had no criminal record and was not a resident of the low-income area where he was assigned.

Her choice to report her rape to the police department opened the door that unraveled the series of rapes that ultimately led to Holtzclaw’s arrest, according to the Washington Post.

In another time with a jury of her peers, Ruby McCollum would most likely been viewed as an abused woman who had been terrorized by a sadistic rapist. Her actions were those of a woman who in her defense felt she had no other choice.

And Dr. Adams should have been charged for his crimes against her.

Unfortunately for Ruby McCollum 64 years earlier, she was tried and convicted in Live Oak, Florida for the murder of Dr. C. Leroy Adams.

She was sentenced to death for killing a man whom she testified raped her over and over and was in fact the father of her youngest child, whom he forced her to give birth to even though she was married, know-

“Many historians are shocked that McCollum received a trial at all, as opposed to being lynched.” ing that it would raise questions.

Famed African-American novelist, short story writer, folklorist, and anthropologist Zora Neale Hurston covered the trial for the Defender’s sister paper the Pittsburgh Courier.

Had she not, most likely we would not have Ruby McCollum’s side of the story documented. Zora Neale Hurston had to sit upstairs in the segregated gallery, in view of Ku Klux Klan members who were no doubt present. Hurston’s coverage brought McCollum international attention.

In the long term, McCollum’s case was considered a landmark trial in the struggle for civil rights, and instrumental in changing attitudes about the practice of “paramour rights.”

McCollum’s attorney, Releford McGriff, was also part of a team that was crucial in changing Florida’s Jim Crow practice of selecting all-white male juries.

The Story Goes…

On August 3, 1952, Ruby McCollum met the prominent Dr. C. Leroy Adams in his office in Live Oak, Florida, to which she had driven with her two young children in the car.

She later admitted that she shot him four times with a revolver, after he would not agree to leave her alone. She said that over a period of years, he had repeatedly forced her to submit to sex and bear his child, and that her two-year-old daughter, Loretta, was his.

In notes and letters, McCollum said that Adams had abused her, and that she was pregnant with another child by him when she killed him. She also said that Adams took part in her husband Sam’s “illegal gambling operation.”

This was corroborated by an employee at Adam’s office, who described seeing the doctor accept “large deliveries of cash in examination rooms.”

McCollum was arrested and taken to the state prison 50 miles away temporarily, for protection, according to contemporary accounts.

The next day Mrs. McCollum’s husband Sam died of a heart attack in Zuber, Florida, where he had taken his children for safekeeping with Ruby’s mother.

Ruby McCollum was found guilty for her crime by a jury comprised of all white men, some of whom were Adams’ patients. She was sentenced to death by electric chair.

Her case was appealed and overturned by the State Supreme Court.

When it came time for a second trial, McCollum was examined and found mentally incompetent to stand trial. She was committed to the state mental hospital at Chattahoochee, Florida.

It would have been for the rest of her live had not her attorney, Frank Cannon, acting on his own and without compensation, obtained her release under the Baker Act in 1974, as she was not considered a danger to herself or others.

The state of race relations at the time of the murder made it essentially impossible for a Black woman to receive a fair trial, especially for murdering a white man. This type of crime was unheard of in that era.

A Black woman stood up to defend herself against her white abuser who represented the system.

Not surprisingly, many historians are shocked that McCollum received a trial at all, as opposed to being lynched.

Paramour Rights Ruby McCollum’s story is another example of how the intersection of race and sex can often result in a very specific experience for Black women (Black people) when navigating the criminal justice system.

According to C. Arthur Ellis, Jr., the author of Zora Hurston and the Strange Case of Ruby McCollum, while covering the murder trial, Hurston recalled her work in the timber camps of North Florida, where she had discovered the practice of “paramour rights.”

This unwritten (and never spoken of or talked about) law of the antebellum South allowed a white man to take a “colored” woman as his concubine and force her to have his children.

Hurston expected the upcoming trial of Ruby McCollum to be an unprecedented forum for a “Negress” to testify in her own defense after being forced, through paramour rights, to bear a powerful white man’s children.

Over the years, the trial has been the subject of documentaries, books, television specials, and even plays. Writers, researchers, scholars, and filmmakers continue to examine the case, often positing that McCollum was driven to murder after years of abuse and as a result of being drugged.

We recognize Ruby McCollum for the courage to stand up against a racist system that failed to recognize her as a human being – daughter, sister, wife, and a mother with rights. www.chicagodefender.com

E NOTES

By Kai EL’Zabar

Defender Executive Editor

The Hatred Trump Stirs Donald Trump is the leading Republican candidate for president. He has been for months, leading us to conclude that he’s saying a whole lot of what many Americans accept, support and or agree with, whether you may despise his message or not. You may even reject his appeals as exclusionary and hateful.

But it is important that the strength of his candidacy not be reduced to being merely a freak accident.

Consider, rather, that it is a direct response to the fact that there is a Black Commander-in-Chief; that it is in response to the disrespectful and racist behavior of Republican elected officials, in particular members of Congress, who have given license to the rest of the country to do the same.

The U.S. may have not been this polarized since the Civil War. We see the hands on the clock going back in time and Blacks are more vulnerable than ever.

The other side may think Trump’s statements and declarations outrageous, and cultivated to create controversy, which they are and do, yet they must be regarded for what they are – views of intolerance that have gained a groundswell, reflecting a voice that’s long been silenced due to the niceties of political, social, class, and gender correctness.

Trump has responded to his lack of tact and decorum by saying, “It’s very time-consuming to be politically correct and I don’t like wasting a lot of time.”

The incident at Trump’s rally in Fayetteville, North Carolina is indicative of the mood of the racially charged Bible belt.

In that incident, five sheriffs wrestled down a Black man, Rakeem Jones, who had been punched in the eye in clear view by white Trump supporter, John Franklin McGraw, 78, whom sheriffs instructed to sit down.

They made no arrest until the next day. Most disturbing was McGraw’s statement upon arrest for disorderly conduct and communicating threats. Caught on video, McGraw said he enjoyed hitting “that loudmouth” and threatening that the next time “we may have to kill him.”

Raucous behavior is the norm at Trump’s campaign rallies, which are boisterous, with the billionaire businessman often pausing to scold protesters and ask security officers to take them away. At a rally last month in Nevada, he said of a protester: “I’d like to punch him in the face.”

used a racial slur. Still, Trump encouraged the crowd to jeer them as they were being escorted out.

The week before, Trump had told his supporters how to handle protesters at a rally – “When you see a protester knock the crap out of them, and I’ll pay your legal fees.”

President/Publisher: Cheryl Mainor

And no other candidate’s events have been the subject of multiple reports, including accusations of Nazi-esque salutes or cries to light a Black protester on fire.

We cannot take this lightly.

“Trumpism” is a cancer that feeds on the obnoxious. Ultimately it’s not about Trump, but rather classism, elitism, racism, a supremacist view – all of which equals

No Clue

What’s so dangerous about Trump the candidate is that he’s never dealt directly with those who make up his newfound supporters.

He’s talking directly to them now as if he’s talking in the backroom with friends and has no clue that they take him literally.

Nor does he seem to have any wherewithal about the ramifications of his influence upon those who hear him and take his words as truth. He accepts no responsibility. And lastly, nor does he care.

Sadly, it’s the people who desire superficial solutions to extraordinary complex challenges who are piqued. They are angry. To these people, those who disagree with them have no rights or worse, don’t deserve to be heard or alive.

To Trump supporters, they are the expendables for their emotional and socio-economic pain – Muslims, undocumented immigrants (whom Trump has branded as rapists and murderers) and unlawfully convicted Black youth.

Rakeem’s friend Ronnie Rouse shared that they had gone to the rally not as protesters, but rather to observe and see what the Trump rallies were like. Jones said that they fully cooperated when they were told to leave after an exchange with another man who Rouse said

“When he returns to the business world, his life will go on untouched by the disease he left to rankle.”

However, when McGraw was arrested Trump’s people issued the statement that, “We are not involved.” Further, Trump did not pay McGraw’s bail.

The reality is that Donald Trump really isn’t saying anything unique or different than what the other Republicans before him and those currently vying for the Republican candidacy haven’t said.

It’s the way Donald Trump says what he’s says, conveying the heart of it all, which is at the core elitist, exclusionary, supremacist and racist.

But no other candidate has gone so far as to suggest that their supporters express difference with physical violence. More important is that they have not inferred that pre-1964 was “the good old days.”

exclusion in a country where it is unacceptable.

But Trump has awakened the giant. Where racism has been witnessed before in worldview, our leadership’s manner has always been to apologize for those who exhibit poor manners and to acknowledge that we are working on our faults.

Then we fall back on our beautifully written Constitution, Declaration of Independence and the Bill Of Rights. Who can argue with that? We’re a work in progress aiming to rise to the vision of our founding forefathers.

The Ugly American

But with the world watching, serious damage has been done. The

worldview of Trump is that he is certainly not one whom they wish to engage. His antics have suddenly brought the Ugly American front and center, tarnishing the American Dream.

He is seen as a man who is speaking for a country teetering on civil war and distorting its message of tolerance and welcome, as are the candidates who trail him and are competing for his voters.

The racism behind the agenda of the right wing on immigrants has long been plain as day and even more so in the case of The Race/ Blacks. Mr. Trump makes it even plainer.

Trump portends that his supporters are the victims here. His voters have to defend themselves against the aggression of protesters – despite the presence of security and Secret Service. They simply have no choice.

This sort of employment of language and loose logic has been used to justify racist terrorist acts: lynchings, castration, brutalization, and all manner of inhumane behavior in U.S. history.

Trump keeps this behavior at the forefront while deflecting the issues. He never addresses in detail how he will change the ills America is suffering. Instead, he attacks his opponents’ platform, sexual prowess, intellect, personality, background and or wives. Nothing is off the table except for how he will deliver.

Trump has proved himself to be one of the masters of racially coded language. His play on words unleashes the vengeance that gives rise to and support to some of the most heinous political acts around the globe.

This is the actual route by which racism has, in the course of human history, become accepted practice and policy.

You hear him deploy his antebellum political tactic incorporating modern, ostensibly neutral terms such as “dudes.” Trump knows exactly what he’s doing; he is not a novice at this.

Trump’s campaign has proven him one of the most skilled of this trade. He is the best at this tactic. He bullies them all and shuts them down. And that’s why his fellow Republicans are mad. Trump ripped the scab off, leaving an open wound to fester.

Sadly, he does it because he can. When he returns to the business world where he rules as king, he will resume his business and his life will go on untouched by the disease he left to rankle. www.chicagodefender.com

Preckwinkle, continued from, Page 02

Criminal Justice Reform

The 2016 primary election brought out record numbers in voter registration and African-American voters. With a mounting history of police misconduct and the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office’s lackluster role in charging rogue Chicago police officers, the court-ordered video release of Laqaun McDonald’s execution was the final nail in the coffin for incumbent Anita Alvarez.

It was also the light at the end of a long and tedious tunnel for Preckwinkle, who has had to battle Alvarez’s long history of criminalizing people of color.

In the primary, Preckwinkle’s former chief of staff Kim Foxx defeated Alvarez, winning 62.4 percent of the vote.

“The people of Cook County voted for change and transformation in our criminal justice system, for which I’m very grateful,” Preckwinkle said.

“Kim won 37 wards. She won not only the African-American wards, but most of the North Side and lakefront areas, too.”

Preckwinkle noted that two issues resonated in this campaign. “One was clearly police accountability,” she said. “The Laquan McDonald case. The case where Detective Dante Servin shoots into the crowd and kills Rekia Boyd. The case of Ronald Johnson, a young man that lived near me who was killed on 53rd and King fleeing from the police and was shot in the back.

“Philip Coleman, being dragged from his jail cell, tasered and subsequently dies in the hospital. Then, there’s a young man – Cedric Chatman – also shot in the back fleeing police in South Shore.”

The dashcam release of Officer Jason Van Dyke pumping 16 bullets into 17-year old McDonald was the most brutal and inhumane of images. It brought global outcry for justice and transparency in Cook County’s criminal system.

It also revealed what people of color had known for decades – that there is an ongoing cooperation between the State’s Attorney’s Office and the Chicago Police Department. www.chicagodefender.com

Preckwinkle said, “There are these high profile cases in which the State’s Attorney seems to be unwilling to file charges. They filed charges in the case of Officer Jason Van Dyke only because the video was about to be released and it was damning.”

“There is no doubt that Preckwinkle has earned the crown of Queen of Chicago politics.”

All those cases rekindled the conviction that the present State’s Attorney wasn’t willing to hold police accountable for bad acts. Eighty-six percent of the people in jail are Black and Brown, but 25 percent of the county is African American and 25 percent is Latino.

“So, African Americans and Latinos are 50 percent of the county population, but 86 percent of the jail population. Black and Brown people get ground up in our criminal justice system every day,” Preckwinkle said.

Cook County residents have overwhelmingly voted Democratic in the past five decades,

so there is no doubt that Foxx will be the next State’s Attorney, despite her Republican opposition in November.

The Cook County Board President has been very vocal about Anita Alvarez and the tension that built up over the last six years, but she also understands the challenging road that Foxx has ahead of her.

“Let me explain – the friction between me and the State’s Attorney is about policy,” Preckwinkle clarified. “I always thought she had a ‘lock them up’ and ‘hang ’em high’ for people who came into our criminal justice system. That was pretty disturbing to me.

“This is a hard job. Kim is going to have her hands full in re-setting policy within the office, and changing out leaders who are committed to transformation like she is. It’s going to be a difficult transition.”

But Preckwinkle has confidence in Foxx’s ability to take over that office and respects her lane. “She knows the office better than I do,” Preckwinkle said. “She’s worked there for 12 years. I’m not a lawyer and I’m not a state’s attorney. I have a job and she is going to have a job.

“It’s about your vision of the office and the criminal justice system more than your experience. Kim has plenty of experience; that’s not the point. What she has is a commitment to both justice and fairness and I think that’s the critical issue.”

Whether Preckwinkle wants to claim it or not, the public’s overwhelming support of Foxx crushing her opponent solidified Preckwinkle as “Boss.”

Maybe not yet on the same level as the original “Boss,” Mayor Richard J. Daley, but she is becoming one of most powerful women in Chicago’s political history – as exemplified by the election of Juliana Stratton.

The incumbent, Ken Dunkin, was challenged by newcomer Juliana Stratton and Dunkin lost his 13-year seat by capturing only 29 percent of the vote.

Preckwinkle still serves as the Committeewoman for the 4th Ward and openly supported Stratton’s run for the 5th District office. Dunkin had drawn the considerable ire of state Democrats by occasionally crossing over the aisle to support some of Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner’s initiatives.

“If Ken Dunkin had won, Bruce Rauner would have con-

sidered his buy-out initiative successful. There would’ve been a lot of Democrats that might have been tempted by the resources that Governor Rauner could bring in,” Preckwinkle explained.

“So, it was important that Juliana Stratton beat Ken Dunkin to send a message – not just to Bruce Rauner, but to any wavering Democrats – that the kind of prostitution that Dunkin engaged in is not going to be rewarded by the voters.”

OPINION Shari Runner Defender Contributing Writer

The months leading up to last week’s Illinois primaries were paved with protests.

From disrupting Black Friday shopping on the Magnificent Mile in a successful effort to heighten attention about racial injustice and staging a die-in at City Hall over police misconduct – to hundreds of students from Chicago State University and other publicly funded post-secondary institutions rallying at the State Capitol to demand an end to the now nine-month-old budget impasse that holds their futures hostage – each peaceful, principled protest renewed our city’s collective mission to enact change.

But perhaps no election season protest received greater global media attention or spectacle than the one that took place before the March 15, 2016 primary at the Trump rally at the UIC Pavilion.

Commentary: A United Front

Against Trump’s Racism It was a moment in time that brought together young and notso-young Blacks, Latinos, Caucasians, Muslim Americans and others from across the city, who mobilized a strong united front as a direct response against racism, classism and misogyny. For a moment, the world watched as the third most segregated city in our country banded together to say that true democracy is something that we demand, and that the time to act upon it is now.

Led by a cross-section of young social activists, thousands raised their voices in the call for a presidential race befitting one that represents a multicultural America, a united country where all groups of people can live and be perceived as equal on all levels – personal, social, institutional, and structural.

“Each of us has the power – and an obligation – to take an active role in advancing socioeconomic justice for all.”

Commentators and pundits have tried to assign blame to the protestors for forcing the cancellation of the rally. Some conservative media even went so far as to label them as a “mob,” a term we will surely see on the list of expanding and prevalent list of racial code words.

Labels cannot, however, take away from the overarching disciplined nature of the pre-primary

Indeed, youth activism is alive and well here in Chicago, and it is incumbent upon us all to protect their right to take action, their calling to give back to the community, and their quest to redefine words like “leadership,” “philanthropy,” and “empowerment.”

When we do so, protests and action leads to needed change.

Elections matter, particularly for those who are most underserved and disenfranchised. As Chicago and the country digest the results of the primary elections and head down the political path towards the general elections in November, it is my hope that we all do so with intent.

We have an extraordinary opportunity to see a shift in our local and national priorities. The people we meet every day at the Chicago Urban League are a reminder that each of us has the power – and an obligation – to take an active role in advancing socioeconomic justice for all.

freedom of expression by those who chose to exercise their right to peacefully disrupt.

That right to demonstrate peacefully is a cornerstone of the First Amendment. Indeed, a vibrant democracy needs more than cyclical participation in elections, and peaceful protest has a role to play. It raises awareness, opens dialogue and spurs action.

One hundred years ago, resistance to racism and the search for opportunity brought more than 500,000 African American activists from the south to Chicago as part of the Great Migration.

Fifty years later, it was a passion for civil rights that guided the young people who marched in Selma.

Today, that same quest guides the young people assigning themselves to fight for social justice (Shari Runner is President and CEO of the Chicago Urban League.) today.

Preckwinkle, continued from, Page 07

The endorsement of Stratton by President Barack Obama raised eyebrows and some questioned his involvement, as it is unusually rare for a sitting U.S. President to take sides in a statehouse election.

But Preckwinkle defended and explained the president’s actions. “(In a radio ad) Ken Dunkin used excerpts of his speech from Springfield to imply that the President was endorsing him. Of course, it wasn’t true, so the President decided he would do radio ads, television commercials and make local calls to counter that falsehood.”

Stratton’s connection to Preckwinkle is that she served as executive director for the Cook County Justice Advisory Council for over three years beginning in July 2011. She managed the public safety portfolio for the Cook County Board President.

If there is a mentoring process for Stratton, Preckwinkle

noted, “Christian Mitchell and Majority Leader Barbara Flynn Currie also represent part of the 4th Ward. I’m grateful to them for their good work in Springfield and I know that Juliana will find her way – all that is all good.”

But you could hear the frustration in Preckwinkle’s voice as she explained the importance of Stratton’s victory because of the state budget stalemate that has affected the county’s budget in various areas.

“This budget not only affects people with autistic children who can’t get services or seniors that need home healthcare – it’s local units of government across the state,” Preckwinkle said. “It’s social services that are really important to those in need in our state.”

She broke down what the monies that have not been paid to Cook County since November 2015 means.

“The state owes us $30 million for our fiscal year that ended November 30. They owe our healthcare system $100 million for bills that go back to October. They owe $18 million for our child enforcement work that’s done on behalf of the state through state grants, but of course there’s no budget, so there’s no money,” Preckwinkle says.

Defining Excellence

According to the Chicago Defender, EXCELLENCE is defined through the demonstration and performance of those women it honors annually.

Excellence is often difficult to describe. Yet, we know it when we see it. Excellence is never an accident, but rather a characteristic that’s pursued.

It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction, skillful execution, and the vision to see life’s challenges as opportunities.

The Chicago Defender recognizes WOMEN OF EXCELLENCE nominated

by Chicago Defender readers. A blue ribbon panel of impartial and anonymous judges had the arduous task of

making the final selections from the hundreds of names submitted.

We salute each of the women whose credentials were submitted who are not listed this year, as well as the thousands of women known and unknown who reflect excellence daily.

ho are the Chicago Defender W WOMEN of EXCELLENCE? We honor women who inspire others through their vision and leadership, exceptional achievements and participation in community service. They are women who exemplify stature, poise, grace and inner beauty.

They do it all while maintaining the delicate balance of managing their various leadership roles as professional, partner, wife, daughter, mother and

teacher. They are leaders, motivators, educators and mentors.

They are entrepreneurs, corporate executives, civil servants, and other professionals. They are women who have made their mark in society and are reaching forward by reaching back to assist those who want to move ahead.

They are women who dare to dream the impossible and then work to make it happen, like Madame C.J. Walker and Oprah Winfrey. They are women of conviction, like Rosa Parks, and Angela Davis. They are women who persevere, like Fannie Lou Hamer and Serena/ Venus Williams.

They are women who know the power of education, like Mary McLeod Bethune and Marva Collins. They are women of honor, like Shirley Chisholm

Marion Brooks

Mistress Of Ceremony This year’s Mistress of Ceremony, Marion Brooks, knows a lot about the pursuit of excellence as an award-winning anchor and reporter at NBC5. She anchors the NBC5 News at 11 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, as well as being a reporter on the NBC5 Investigative Team.

Her passion for storytelling coupled with reporting has lead her to investigate social and criminal justice issues.

Her series of reports on Sex Trafficking in Chicago in 2014 earned her several awards, including national recognition from the Alliance for Women in Media (Gracie) and a regional Edward R. Murrow Award.

Being a Spelman College graduate, Brooks returned to Atlanta to join NBC5 in 1998 as a weekend anchor, where she also served as an anchor/reporter, but not before paying her dues.

Her career began at the Sarasota Herald Tribune in Sarasota, Florida.

Brooks learned the advertising side of journalism in a management training program for the New York Times Newspaper Group and has continued spanning over several regions and market sizes in the country.

On the broadcast side she started out in radio at WGST, a news talk sta-

tion in Atlanta, in the entry-level type of job that exposed her to the long hours, hard work, and adrenaline rushes of newsgathering. She credits this experience with solidifying her desire to work as a journalist.

Her first television job took her to one of the poorest regions in the country, the Mississippi Delta. From there, her career wound through markets around the country with stops in Jacksonville, Fla., St. Louis, Mo., Atlanta, Ga., and Chicago.

She’s covered everything from major natural disasters to politics, crime and courts to health, consumer issues to two Olympic Games, and much in between.

Merri Dee

The Theresa “TeeSee” Fambro Hooks Lifetime Achievement Award Merri Dee’s legendary award-winning 49-year career in Chicago broadcasting is admirable in itself. She was the Illinois Lottery’s First Lady, anchored the first edition of midday news and sports, hosted a magazine-style TV show and served in management as Director of Community Relations.

One of the first African-American women to anchor the news in the Windy City, Dee has parlayed her celebrity into charitable success, powerful motivational speaking and advocacy.

She has raised millions of dollars for children’s charities, spearheaded victims’ rights legislation, and helped increase adoption rates across the nation.

and Coretta Scott King. They are women of character, like Dorothy Height and Maya Angelou. Like Jackie Joyner Kersey, they are the greatest.

What is Excellence?

This historical year benchmarks history, bridging two centuries where the Chicago Defender has caused, witnessed, recognized, and celebrated excellence.

Celebrating these women who have crossed the bridges on the backs of those who have gone before them, blazing trails, breaking ceilings and charting new courses, means much to the community, which embraces them and supports their endeavors.

In 1972 Dee was hired as an anchor for Chicago’s WGN-TV. After 11 years in various on-air positions, Dee moved into administration and became the station’s Director of Community Relations and Manager of its Children’s Charities. One of the few African-American women in broadcasting at the time, Dee was becoming one of the most successful. She became a trusted advisor.

Dee’s professional successes became even more admirable in light of her personal circumstances. She endured horrific abuse as a child and struggled for years as a single mother. In 1971, she made national headlines after being kidnapped, shot and left to die.

She has recently penned this story in a personal memoir, “LIFE LESSONS ON FAITH, FORGIVENESS & GRACE.” The inspiring story of her miraculous recovery and remarkable courage was featured on “60 Minutes,” “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” “Donahue,” and in Essence magazine.

Her life-changing experience led her to being the force behind the Illinois General Assembly’s passage of the first Victim’s Bill of Rights. The Illinois law became the model for similar legislation in every state in the United States.

Dee’s positive spirit helped her not only overcome, but thrive. Her incredible journey from abused child to broadcasting icon to social catalyst has proven the philosophy she holds dear: “If it is to be, it is up to me.” www.chicagodefender.com

The Chicago Defender Celebrates its 10th Annual Women of Excellence 2016 at the Hyatt Regency Chicago on Friday, March 25 at 11 a.m.

Join the Chicago Defender, family, friends and colleagues in celebrating 50 women, plus one, for their contributions at work and in the community making a difference in the lives of many. For more info, call 312/225-2400.

This year’s event will introduce the first Annual Theresa “TeeSee” Fambro Hooks Lifetime Achievement Award, which will go to iconic Chicago institution Merri Dee. Last year, the equally iconic “TeeSee” retired from her 55-year career at the Chicago Defender, which began in 1961. Naming an award in her memory and honoring her contribution to media while recognizing the recipient is a way to honor both.

It goes without saying that Merri Dee’s 49-year broadcasting career is admirable in itself, but there’s so much more she has accomplished that is deserving of the spotlight.

Merri Dee was the Illinois Lottery’s First Lady, anchored the first edition of midday news and sports, hosted a magazine-style TV show and served in management as Director of Community Relations.

One of the first African-American women to anchor the news in the Windy City, Dee has parlayed her celebrity into charitable success, powerful motivational speaking and advocacy.

She has raised millions of dollars for children’s charities, spearheaded victims’ rights legislation, and helped increase adoption rates across the nation.

In 1972 Dee was hired as an anchor for Chicago’s WGN-TV. After 11 years in various on-air positions, Dee moved into administration and became the station’s Director of Community Relations and Manager of its Children’s Charities. One of the few African-American women in broadcasting at the time, Dee was becoming one of the most successful. She became a trusted advisor.

Dee’s professional successes became even more admirable in light of her personal circumstances. She endured horrific abuse as a child and struggled for years as a single mother. In 1971, she made national headlines after being kidnapped, shot and left to die.

She has recently penned this story in a personal memoir, “LIFE LESSONS ON FAITH, FORGIVENESS & GRACE.” The inspiring story of her miraculous recovery and remarkable courage was featured on “60 Minutes,” “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” “Donahue,” and in Essence magazine.

Her life-changing experience led her to being the force behind the Illinois General Assembly’s passage of the first Victim’s Bill of Rights. The Illinois law became the model for similar legislation in every state in the United States.

Dee’s positive spirit helped her not only overcome, but thrive. Her incredible journey from abused child to broadcasting icon to social catalyst has proven the philosophy she holds dear: “If it is to be, it is up to me.”
