By Robert T. Starks

Defender Contributing Writer The state budget stalemate continues because Republican Governor Bruce Rauner won’t work with the Democrats in Springfield on a deal until they accept his Turnaround Agenda, which includes measures that Rauner believes will bring prosperity to Illinois.

But the Turnaround Agenda is decidedly anti-labor and demands changes to union collective bargaining laws.

Rauner wants to eliminate the collective bargaining rights of unions, starting with the AFSCME (American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees) workers who work in the bowels of the state and local government. This would include teachers in the Chicago Public Schools.

Secondly, he wants to establish Right to Work zones throughout the state so that municipalities can, if they choose, eliminate unions within private corporations and in local governments.

This would be especially damaging to the building trades unions since Rauner would also like to eliminate the prevailing wage rule that legally requires state and local governments to pay building trade workers the prevailing wage rate.

Third, he wants to make state and local workers pay more money into their pension.

This is the fight that is affecting the Chicago Teachers Union at the moment.

Fortunately, the court recently ruled to Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel that the pension agreement that was established years ago cannot be tampered with.

But if any of Rauner’s union-busting measures get through, the effect on Black workers, of course, would be more than detrimental.

The first and most direct group to be affected would be the Chicago Teachers Union.

Further, Rauner’s actions would do nothing to speed up the entry of African Americans into the craft and building trades, which is the biggest problem for Black workers.

It is unmistakable that Black workers would be worse off without unions and the benefit protections that they provide. In fact, the existence of the Black middle class is dependent upon the maintenance of unions and the benefits that they accrue.

Unions, of course, are legally organized collectives whose purpose is to protect the interests of laborers. This means that unions, by virtue of their collective bargaining efforts are able to gain benefits that workers desire.

Unions bargin for cost of living increases, raises in pay, pension benefits, health care benefits, and other benefits that are usually unavailable to non-union workers.

Blacks And Unions

Since it was African labor that built the foundation of this nation during slavery days, since the end of the legal slave regime in 1865, during the Reconstruction era, throughout the Jim Crow era and ever since, Blacks have fought to establish protections for their labor, the benefits of fair wages, and dignity in the work place.

In 1869, African American workers entered the labor movement as a legal national entity with the formation of the Colored National Labor Union under the direction of Issac Myers.

This was after they were denied membership in the existing unions of the day.

Afterward, in the late 1800s and early 1900s, in a period of rapid industrialization in the country, Black workers were often used as strikebreakers when white workers went out on strike.

What Happens If Rauner Busts The Unions?

The reality is that this was the only entry point for many Black workers into these industries – the steelworkers, mineworkers, autoworkers, transport workers, and the packinghouse workers. In Chicago, that included the meat packing industry because Chicago was the “hog butcher and meat packing capital of the world.”

It was not until 1937 that the valiant fighter A. Philip Randolph was finally able to gain official recognition for the first 20th Century Black union, The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters (BSCP).

Founded uner the leadership of Randolph in 1925, this union represented over 20,000 men at the height of cross country train travel in the 1920s. BSCP was eventually able to join the AFL-CIO and was represented on its national board.

For the first time in this nation, the BSCP union provided a group of Black men security, decent wages, and a platform from which to fight for civil and political rights.

The service, industrial, and government unions were the first unions to come under federal government scrutiny and oversight.

It was the first March On Washington in 1941, led by A. Philip Randolph, that forced President Franklin D. Roosevelt to establish the Fair Employment Practices Committee (FEPC).

On June 25, 1941, President Roosevelt signed the executive order creating the FEPC and banning discrimination in any defense industries or government because of race, creed, color, or national origin.

The FEPC was given the authority to inves

tigate complaints of discrimination and to take action against companies that were found guilty of violations.

Because of the FEPC, Blacks were able to enter many industries that had previously barred them from employment and because of the CIO’s push for Black union involvement, Black union membership rose dramatically.

But dissension and rancor after World War II about allowing Blacks into unions did not cease. In fact, it became even more strident because of the onset of the Civil Rights Movement that coincided with the merger of the CIO with the AFL to form the AFL-CIO in 1955.

So it is not possible to separate the Civil Rights Movement from the fight for equal rights in the work place on the part of Blacks.

The 1963 March On Washington – led by the “Big Six” leaders of the NAACP, CORE, SNCC, NUL, Dr. Martin Luther King of SCLC and A. Philip Randolph of the BSCP – was a march for jobs and freedom. The major jobs demand was for a minimum wage of $2 an hour and a ban on discrimination in hiring.

The 1963 March on Washington set the pace that has continued today. Fights for labor have automatically echoed civil rights and vice versa. This dual fight has been evident in Chicago more than almost any other city in the country.

Primarily because Chicago has been an industrial town that has had labor and civil rights disputes from its beginning, Black leaders have always coupled the two and defined them as one in the same.

It was just a few weeks a go that I saw Mrs. Juanita Passmore at the funeral services for the beloved Henry English of the Black United Fund.

In 1974, Passmore joined e Johnson Products Company, where she served as director of special promotions and was eventually promoted to the position of executive national coordinator.

Consequently she directed Johnson Products Division for Cosmetic Consultants, through which she developed training programs for several hundred women in the United States and Africa.

I told her then that I’d see her Sunday at the DuSable Museum, where many were assembling to celebrate her 90th birthday at the Eleven Jazzy Divas concert dedicated to her.

Mrs. Passmore didn’t make it to that event because she wasn’t feeling well, but she was acknowledged for all her contributions that she made effortlessly.

We even took a photo so that she could see who had come out to honor her. That following Tuesday, March 22, 2016, she passed away.

Mrs. Passmore also hosted the TV program, Totally Beauty You. She retired from the Johnson Products Company in 1990.

Not surprisingly, Mrs. Passmore and her beloved late husband Haymon, raised money and major contributions for the United Negro College Fund.

If that were not enough, the Passmores personally financially supported the college educations of well over 100 young Black college students through the years.

Mrs. Passmore’s work with young people included Operation Snowball, a drug use prevention program focusing on leadership development, and the Jesse Owens Foundation, Rev.

George Johnson, founder, on behalf of Johnson Products, said: “We offer the deepest condolences to the family and many, many friends of the late Juanita Passmore. She was a valued member of the Johnson Products family and her many contributions will never be forgotten.

“Juanita’s tenure with Johnson Products Company was one of outstanding service. As one of her many assignments, she took total responsibility for coordinating and presenting the ‘Great Beautiful Black Woman’s Tour,’ which celebrated the company’s 25th anniversary for the entire year, in museums and universities across the country.

“I have always recognized that the tremendous success of that tour was due to Juanita’s creative ability.

She was a very capable and courageous woman. Throughout her life, Mrs. Passmore’s business acumen and civic commitment to a multitude of social, political, educational and other causes were both admirable and legendary.”

Mrs. Juanita Passmore will be sorely missed as a revered and wellknown socialite, corporate executive, civic/community advocate and philanthropist, friend, and aunt, because she was many things to many people.

Public viewing services for Mrs. Juanita Passmore will be held Thursday, March 31, 2016 from noon until 6 p.m. at Cage Memorial Chapel, 7651 South Jeffery Blvd.

WOMAN’S HISTORY Mae Ebert Defender Contributing Writer Last issue we explained the term “paramour rights,” which writer Zora Neale Hurston had encountered in the timber camps of north Florida from Jacksonville to Pensacola.

This unwritten law of the pre-Civil War South referred to the right of a white man to take a Black woman as his concubine and force her to have his children whether she was married or not.

While not surprising during slavery, this practice continued well past the end of the Civil War, and became institutionalized in the Segregationist South, buttressed by Jim Crow legislation making miscegenation illegal, thereby removing any rights of a woman of African descent from suing her paramour for paternity-related issues of child support.

This subject continues to follow us today as a frame of reference from which white men operate, giving them credence to act as they please, especially those in authority like the police.

Another woman you should know took women’s rights seriously – Ms. Ella Josephine Baker, who was born December 13, 1903 and passed the same day 83 years later. She was a tireless advocate for human rights and especially rights for Blacks and women.

While working alongside wellknown figures like W.E.B. Du Bois and A. Phillip Randolph, Baker mentored Diane Nash, Rosa Parks and other women. She worked with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee.

Though she was revered in her time, few know of her today because she worked primarily behind the scenes as an organizer. She did not seek notoriety, fame or validation and she was not associated with the leadership.

In her own words, Baker said, “You didn’t see me on television; you didn’t see news stories about me. The kind of role that I tried to play was to pick up pieces or put together pieces, out of which I hoped organization might come. My theory is, strong people don’t need strong leaders.”

Far from shy, Ella Baker spoke to the silencing behaviors experienced by women of color, though her work was often overlooked and underappreciated.

The Black Panther Party and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee were mostly comprised of or developed by Black women, yet history remembers the men who situated themselves as figureheads.

Ella Josephine Baker

An Organizer Ahead of Her Time Inclusion Instead

Of Exclusion

It’s not a tit for tat discussion, but rather one that we must still address, one of inclusion rather than exclusion.

Even Dorothy Height of the National Council of Negro Women addressed how she had to push her way inside the inner circle because the men did not invite her.

This impulse to silence Black women continues today – especially in light of the recent Holtzclaw trial.

Black women were targeted by the Oklahoma City police officer because he knew that their sexual history and membership in a marginalized community would taint their believability, creating a prejudice clouding their creditability by those in authority – and he was right.

Sitting in the courtroom listening to the questions asked of the women, it was obvious that the victims of the assault were just as much on trial as was Holtzclaw.

The final blow; the fact that he was found guilty of only 18 of the 36 separate counts indicates that the women were, in fact, not believed. Yes, he received a recommended sentence of over 200 years, but the truth remains that the jury still did not believe some of the women.

Even though there was a guilty ruling, Holtzclaw still won. Be clear of the fact that his plan partially worked. He set out to take advantage of the perception of Black women, knowing that they’d be viewed skeptically – and they were.

Ella Baker knew that if we are to empower people silenced by white supremacy, we must be intentional about doing the hard work of organizing.

04 Mar 30 - Apr 05, 2016 • THE CHICAGO DEFENDER

“Baker believed in empowering the common people with skills to make demands of the political establishment.”

Baker often said, “The movement made Martin, and not Martin the movement.” Considering the era when she said it, these were radical statements about Martin Luther King.

But Baker understood the importance of grassroots activism and she thought it important to highlight the fact that true power lies in organizing oppressed people for action.

Strong willed and outspoken, Baker was ridiculed for her vocal and direct demeanor while she weakened old expectations surrounding female performance.

But later, women in the Black Panther Party directly quoted Baker as an inspiration and began to imitate her tenacity, passion for serving, and drive to bring meeting ground to the fight for equality.

Baker once said, “Even if segregation is gone, we will still need to be free; we will still have to see that everyone has a job. Even if we can all vote, but if people are still hungry, we will not be free…”

Baker’s strength was her clear understanding that to fight oppression, one must fight all systems simultaneously in which racism is intricately woven.

Her greatest contribution might be the statement that, “the equity for which we fight must be inclusive, expansive, and always challenging the status quo.”

Imitating White Culture Ella Baker had a method of organizing that was both effective and revolutionary, and that completely dismissed the traditional paradigm of leadership that had plagued the Black community from its earliest history.

Historically, we must note that Blacks imitated white culture, in particular, male dominance. This paradigm is demonstrated in the first institutions – family and the church.

The Black church integrated white and Black isms. Emotionally, Blacks responded in the tradition of our African heritage, to charismatic masculine leadership based on the delivery of the message, which evoked the instinctual response from the congregation. The church followed the white paradigm.

But Baker believed in empowering the common people – whether a sharecropper, teenager, or the illiterate man or woman – with skills to make demands of the political establishment.

Baker believed that the real struggle evolved from and emerged out of the proletariat, or the working class people, who were closest to all that is wrong with the system and those who need the change the most.

Ms. Baker believed that “people did not need fancy leaders with de-

grees and pedigree,” to tell them what was best for them. She said often, “The major job was getting people to understand that they had something within their power that they could use, and it could only be used if they understood what was happening and how group action could counter violence.”

Baker’s life work is a testament to the radical idea that educated elites were not the natural leaders of Black people. Baker concluded after serious reflection of her work with the NAACP that, “The leadership was all from the professional class, basically.

I think these are the factors that have kept it from moving to a more militant position.”

She didn’t stop there. She was just as critical of the self-assured Black preachers who appeared to have captivated their congregations with elevated rhetorical skill only to leave the actual work that had to be done to others.

Ms. Baker was something of a rascal. She actually asked Dr. King directly why he allowed such hero worship, and he responded simply, that it was what people wanted. This answer did not satisfy Baker in the least.

She described Dr. King as a pampered member of Atlanta’s Black elite who had the mantle of leadership handed to him rather than having had to earn it, a member of a coddled “silver spoon brigade.”

Baker was well aware that the hypnotic trance of Dr. King’s richly textured cadence, coupled with a message of hope grounded in truth like music, moved touched and inspired Blacks for many reasons.

Most were simply impressed by the ability of the Black preacher to speak the White man’s language with such ease and to articulate and relate messages that resonated with them.

They perpetuated the same story that white men had been telling them all their lives.

Baker offered a feminist approach to understanding Black American politics and the institutional Black church. Yet her political ideology was also fused with influences from the socialism of Max Yeargan, George Schyler and Marxist literature that she read in the 1930s, as well as the conservative philosophies of Washington, Du Bois, and Garvey.

But it was her communal upbringing in rural North Carolina and her connection to her grandparents’ slave heritage that inspired her focus on mobilizing, organizing and empowering the masses.

Through her mother, she inherited a sense of service and that combined with the organizational skill of the Black Baptist Missionary Movement with the intellectual urgency of W.E.B. Du Bois’s “talented tenth” philosophy.

All of this provided her a perspective that was grounded in activism and economic equality. www.chicagodefender.com

While slave masters worked diligently to convert their slaves to Christianity, the African slaves still practiced their own form of religious celebration, which was called Slave Christianity.

Several analysts assessed the ecstatic spirituality of these slaves Call And Response and noted two major actions during On the other hand, as people of this celebration: African descent, it is natural to interact with the performing artists in a routine known as call-and-response, which is carried over to the pulpit.

The preacher preaches a sermon yes, but it’s the way in which the preacher delivers it that connects the two (pulpit and dance performance).

His delivery is often animated, inclusive of the entire body, exaggeration as movement.

He may sing or poetically speak his words rhythmically, in a cadence that in itself speaks and resonates He may hum a little as well, pulling the people in to respond with a: “Can I get an Amen? Raise your hands and give Him praise! Give Him Glory.”

And or a member(s) may shout, “Amen!” or “Preach it son,” “Speak the truth brotha,” and so on and on.

One may also be moved by the Spirit and move in step to the feeling. This is known as receiving the Holy Ghost.

All this is a form of dialog between the preacher and the congregation, same as the interaction between the African dance troupe and the audience for whom it performs. The African in us does not see the two as different, but rather as one – part of the same performance.

Defined, call-and-response is a form of “spontaneous verbal non-verbal interaction between speaker and listener in which all of the statements (‘calls’) are punctuated by expressions (‘responses’) from the listener.”

E NOTES

Defender Executive Editor

Why I’m Cutting My Hair Recently I was in conversation with one of my confidants about cutting my hair. She responded, “Oh really?” I could hear the nuance of the affect lingering over the airwaves.

Ignoring the open door to go down that road, I continued, “Yes, not for all those reasons you may assume, but rather a different politics of our hair. You see, it’s just too laborious to manage.”

My friend laughed and said, “Oh Kai, now that’s one for your ENotes – what on earth do you mean?”

I explained that my lifestyle does not allow for the natural way in which I cared for my hair in L.A., which was more conducive to what my hair demands because Los Angeles is more like Africa as far as the sunshine and weather go.

That’s when we began to converse about having to change so much about who we are (as a race) to live and succeed in America. So much of what is natural to us is not acceptable behavior in America.

I immediately thought about the Alvin Ailey Ballet concert I had recently attended. Those of us who were familiar with the aesthetics of theatre knew that it was unacceptable or thought to be in bad taste and certainly denoting of one’s class or lack thereof to shout out, scream the dancer’s name, or let out a celebration cry.

Still, we sat in the audience as the culprits continued throughout the entire performance to exercise their self-expression, unbeknownst to them that they were exhibiting

it did not distract from the performance. But we were in their house – we wanted to be there – so it’s important that we respect the rules of etiquette of our hosts.

Back To The Hair There’s a lot to be said about culture, etiquette, decorum and so on.

So we found ourselves back to the hair issue.

We recalled when we could not wear our hair in braids and work at the bank or anywhere in corporate America. It is something that is not written in history books, and rarely discussed.

However those of us who lived through it know and recall the rejection of our cultural differences that were found unacceptable in the white world. Imagine that your natural hair and styles that evolved from your hair type was considered unacceptable the same as your skin.

It’s lonely out there for a brotha, for a sistah, a Black man, a Black woman, who choose to climb the corporate ladder. It means that you have to give up all that is instinctual.

Us Baby Boomers can tell you.

We were ridiculed when we spoke to Blacks who were blue collar and/ or looked over for a promotion because you fraternized with the custodians or cafeteria workers, never mind that you were the only Black executive.

There were little inclinations like this that distinguished our culture from white culture. Our attraction to color, oversized jewelry and all that is not corporate was a learning process. We learned and embraced the sacrifices so that we could be the spooks who walked through the door in the name of progress.

So we suited up in blue, gray and black. We stopped laughing too loud, or speaking with passion and emotion, lost the animated hand gestures and head movement; stopped talking loud, laughing hard; tried to stop rolling our eyes and popping gum; ceased to show compassion for others; and finally, we stopped dancing because the intellectual or successful guy does not dance.

All this we did with the goal in mind of opening up even more doors for our children. We have yet to do that and what we’ve lost is greater than what we’ve gained.

Oh what a dangerous web we weave as we find ourselves facing a spider waiting to devour us.

Back To The Hair, Again Which brings us back to the question about why I’m cutting my hair. I am comfortable with my locks sure, but the way in which I’ve cared for them will no longer suffice.

The Chicago weather does not allow for me to wash my hair weekly and to sit in the sun to dry, and also lighten it as an added benefit.

So the politics of hair is such that Chicago is not L.A. and Los Angeles is not Africa, but it does share the sun and warm weather.

We’ve come a long way from being totally oppressed, but now, facing much of what we’ve suppressed, we must make choices that work best for us and are feasible.

So Black people, choose wisely as you go forth in the world as ambassadors of culture. Let us strive to avoid convenient ignorance. Instead, let’s learn the rules of the game and apply the appropriate protocol when necessary if it will engage our soul and indulge our spirit. Otherwise shuck it! www.chicagodefender.com

Unions, continued from, Page 02

CTU’s Day of Action

This coupling is evident today as community and labor groups will join the Chicago Teachers Union on April 1 in “A Day of Action” in a fight for teachers’ rights and adequate funding of the public schools.

The coalition of groups that will join this “Day of Action” includes unions and organizations from the Transit Union, University Professionals of Illinois Local 4100, Fight for $15, the SEIU, Black Youth Project 100 and several religious and civil rights organizations.

While many Blacks legitimately complain about the discrimination against Blacks in the crafts and trades unions, they paint all unions with this same brush.

It is true that while Blacks have clear complaints against all unions, the concentration of Blacks in the service and government unions has helped in raising the living standards of the Black community.

It is clear that the bulk of the Black middle class today owes its ability to remain relatively stable economically to their employment in the service and government sectors.

This is clearly attested to by Mack Julian, president of the Postal Workers Union in Chicago. Black postal workers and Pullman Porters were the first group of unionized Black workers to provide the foundation of the Black middle class.

The University of California, Berkeley Center for Labor Research and Education in an April, 2013 study called “Data Brief: Blacks in Unions: 2012” stated that, “A greater proportion of Black workers were union members compared to the proportion of non-Black workers who were union members.

“In 2012, 13 percent of all Black workers in the United States were union members, while 11 percent of non-Black workers in the United States were union members.”

The highest proportion of Blacks in unions was concentrated in the 10 most populated metropolitan areas where there were no Right to Work laws that outlawed unions. Further, the bulk of these workers were located in the service and government sectors.

“The most recent data suggest that unionization substantially improves the pay and benefits received by Black workers,” says a Center for Economic and Policy Research study from April 2008.

Further, this study showed that “On average, unionization raised www.chicagodefender.com

Black workers’ wages 12 percent – about two dollars per hour – relative to Black workers with similar characteristics who were not in unions.”

This study also stated the reality of pension and health benefits that are afforded to unions that are not always provided to non-union workers.

“If Gov. Rauner erodes the power of unions, there may be a smaller Black middle class and a less economically viable Black community than what already exists right now.”

A Fight For Viability

Harold Rogers of the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists says, “Unionization has afforded Blacks job protection and job stability.

Black teachers and even garbage collectors who work in their jobs for 25 years and retire can live comfortably for the rest of their lives as a result of the collective bargaining agreements that unions provide.”

Eddie Read, founder and president of the United Independent Workers, Inc. is in the thick of the fight to get Black craft and trade workers more solidly embedded into the building trades.

He says, “We are still in the fight to get the AFL-CIO to enforce its non-discrimination policies and bring more Blacks into the building trades. We need more training and

apprenticeship programs targeted to Black youths. My union needs the health and benefits package that is guaranteed by the AFL-CIO.” Larry Thomas, business agent of the Painter’s Union, which was chartered in 1920 in Chicago as a member of the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists, is a major advocate of Black inclusion in the trade unions.

His local of the Painters Union is one of the oldest and largest Black trade unions in the city. Thomas says, “I would like to see the trades come back to Dunbar High School and an increase in the trades training at Dawson Tech.

“We need these institutions to be functional and successful to get our young people into these high paying jobs. At the same time, our youths must be willing to take advantage of the opportunities that we are fighting to provide for them.”

Jaquie Algee, Vice President of her Service Employees International Union (SEIU) local and Director of External Relations, has been an outspoken advocate of labor rights and civil rights throughout her career.

She supports the Chicago Teachers Union in their fight for school funding and better working conditions for teachers.

“One of my proudest moments was when I participated in the election of Mayor Harold Washington,” Algee says. She estimates that the Chicago Black SEIU membership is around 80 percent Black, 15 percent Latino, and five percent Asian.

These members include home care and health care workers, adjunct professors, hotel workers, non-teachers in CPS, and daycare workers. “We have been involved in the ‘Fight for $15’ and in support of the McDonald’s workers,” Algee says.

“We are also in the fight to force Gov. Rauner and the state legislature to pass a budget so that the social services and our schools can be properly funded.”

Rose Daylie of AFSCME has been in the labor movement for more than 40 years and is now the First Vice President of the Chicago Federation of Labor (CFL).

Daylie and the CFL have loudly protested the lack of an Illinois state budget and the resulting effects on the citizens most in need of the services provided by the budget.

Daylie says, “While AFSCME is primarily concerned about the needs of our members who work in government, we are just as concerned about the fate of those

thousands of Black youths that are unemployed and hanging on street corners.

“We are concerned that the Governor wants to tamper with the benefits of AFSCME workers who make the state, county, and municipal governments run. We have joined with the other organizations to fight this dangerous move.”

Many feel that while it is right to protest Rauner’s stance, at the same time, the fight must continue for Black entrance into the craft and trade unions in view of the massive increase in building and repairs of the nation’s infrastructure that will be in place in the near future.

Breakthroughs in this sector are necessary for the Black community to survive and move from the overall low-income status that most of it now occupies to bringing more African Americans up to middle-class status. African Americans have to be represented in all labor sectors in order to have a viable community.

If Gov. Rauner has his way with his Turnaround Agenda and erodes the power of unions, there may be a smaller Black middle class and a less economically viable Black community than what already exists right now.

“We have determined that structural and systemic deficiencies and practices – including insufficient accountability, inadequate training, ineffective policies, and inadequate engagement with the community – contribute to the use of unreasonable force.”

Defender Staff Writer

The investigation of the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) into Chicago police patterns and practices that was announced in December in response to the police murder of Laquan McDonald is anticipated to last about 18 months.

The federal investigation – which places the Chicago Police Department in the company of police forces in other cities such as Cleveland; Ferguson, Missouri; and Albuquerque, New Mexico – is necessary, according to Attorney General Loretta Lynch, because failing to hold police accountable for misconduct creates “profound consequences” for communities.

As reported by Cleveland.com, under an agreed upon first-year plan, the police department is “required to rewrite its mission statement,” and “required to rewrite the use-offorce policy and have every officer trained.”

But this is the second time federal officials have pushed for reforms in the department, so the agreement with Cleveland, a city with a documented history of overly aggressive policing, raises questions about how effective federal intervention is, and what’s needed to impose lasting reforms.

“I don’t understand how an employer would expect a person having gone through a traumatic event would be able to work in a dangerous environment using deadly force or having the ability to use deadly force, shortly after having used it,” Thedford stated.

Some of the deficiencies highlighted were:

Seattle, Washington On July 27, 2012, the DOJ and the City of Seattle reached a comprehensive settlement agreement (consent decree) to ensure that police services are delivered in a manner that fully complies with the Constitution and laws of the United States, effectively ensures public and officer safety, and promotes public confidence in the Seattle Police Department (SPD) and its officers.

HEALTH Eleana Elan

understand that treatment is very important because the thyroid is responsible for regulating metabolism.

Defender Contributing Writer

Women and men are different. That’s a fact, but why is that some of your girlfriends still think men are women with a penis?

They are not. We differ in countless ways – many of which we aren’t even conscious of.

1) A woman has greater constitutional vitality, perhaps because of her unique chromosomal pattern.

Normally, she outlives a man by three or four years in the United States.

Females simply have a stronger hold on life than males, even in the uterus.

More than 140 male babies are conceived for every 100 females; by the time birth occurs, the ratio is 105 to 100, with the rest of the males dying in spontaneous abortions.

2) Men have a higher incidence of death from almost every disease except three: benign tumors, disorders related to female reproduction, and breast cancer.

3) Men have a higher rate of basal metabolism than women.

4) The sexes differ in skeletal structure, with women having a shorter head, broader face, less protruding chin, shorter legs, and longer trunk.

The first finger of a woman’s hand is usually longer than the third; with men the reverse is true. Boys’ teeth last longer than do those of girls.

5) Women have a larger stomach, kidneys, liver, and appendix, but smaller lungs than men.

6) Women have three very important physiological functions totally absent in men – menstruation, pregnancy, and lactation. Each of these mechanisms influences behavior and feelings significantly.

Female hormonal patterns are more complex and varied and the glands work differently in the two sexes.

For example, a woman’s thyroid is larger and more active; it enlarges during menstruation and pregnancy, which makes her more prone to goiter, provides resistance to cold, and is associated with the smooth skin, relatively hairless body, and the thin layer of subcutaneous fat that are important elements in the concept of personal beauty. Women are also more responsive emotionally, laughing and crying more readily.

7) Women’s blood contains more water and 20 percent fewer red cells.

Since red cells supply oxygen to the body, she tires more easily and is more prone to faint. Her constitutional viability is therefore strictly a long-range matter.

8) Men are 50 percent stronger than women in terms of brute strength.

9) Women’s hearts beat more rapidly than those of men (80 versus 72 beats per minute). Their blood pressure (generally 10 points lower than

2. Hypertension Heart disease is the leading killer of women, but only one in five women realizes that she is at risk. One chief risk factor is hypertension/blood pressure, and before age 55, men are likelier to have it. But as women get older, their blood pressure goes up because their blood vessels aren’t as flexible.

3. Stroke

Men And Women Are Different men) varies more from minute to minute, but they have much less tendency to high blood pressure – at least until after menopause.

10) Female lung capacity is about 30 percent less than males.

11) Women can withstand high temperatures better than men because their metabolism slows down less.

12) Men and women differ in every cell of their bodies because they carry a differing chromosomal pattern. The implications of these genetic components range from obvious to extremely subtle.

For example, when researchers visited high school and college campuses to study behavior of the sexes, they observed that males and females even transported their books in different ways.

The young men tended to carry them at their sides with their arms looped over the top. Women and girls, by con• Women are more likely to die foltrast, usually cradled their books to their chests, in much the same way they lowing a heart attack than men.

prevent disease.”

British medical journal BMJ reports that though women live longer than men on average, their health is often poorer, noting that “Poverty, discrimination, and violence have a great adverse effect on women’s health.”

Beyond experiencing many health problems more severely than their male peers, women also have to deal with a whole other plethora of unique health concerns that don’t affect men.

Because of long-standing systemic gender inequality, women have been receiving lower quality care for these particular health issues for generations.

Health ailments that only impact women are simply not considered a top priority when it comes to research, which is why funding is often pulled from crucial programs that improve women’s health, leaving us without the treatment that we desperately need.

The repercussions of this reach out much farther than the individual; our families and communities suffer when we’re not at our very best.

Not all women or men have the same biology, and just as not all women have to deal with these problems, some men do have to deal with these problems.

You know that there are some illnesses that affect more women than men; breast cancer and osteoporosis, for example, are two diseases we hear about year in and year out. But what about the other ones?

The seven problems below disproportionately impact women – and that’s why we have a duty to spread the word about them.

Seven Health Issues Women Have A Greater Propensity For Than Men

1. Thyroid Disease About 12 or 13 percent of women will be affected by a thyroid disorder at some point in their lives. Women are seven times more likely to develop thyroid issues than men and women should

After age 85, far more women have strokes, making it the fourth-leading cause of death among American females, outranking diabetes and even Alzheimer’s Disease. And that’s not all – across all ages, women who survive cerebrovascular accidents are likelier to have recurrent strokes and become disabled after an event.

4. Alzheimer’s Disease Alzheimer’s Disease is a double whammy for women. Not only have studies found that our health declines faster, but our chances of developing AD are much higher than men by almost two to one. In 2013, Alzheimer’s killed around 59,000 women, compared to about 26,000 men.

What is known, however, is that a healthy lifestyle can help ward off Alzheimer’s, and as a result, dementia: It’s important to eat less processed foods for overall health, too – more fruit, vegetables, and whole grains. Good old diet and exercise does it again.

5. Migraines Migraines affect three women to every one man, and up to a quarter of all women, period. Hormonal changes are known to be involved. However the exact cause of the pain has yet to be pinpointed.

Some women are more likely to get their migraines around their menstrual periods. Likewise, as women get older and experience menopause, some who tend to get migraines cease to get them as frequently.

6. Autoimmune Diseases This is an umbrella term for a group of over 100 chronic illnesses, including rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and Graves’ Disease, in which the body essentially turns on itself. About 75 percent of people affected are women, though for some illnesses, like lupus, the numbers are more like 90 percent.

7. Gallstones Pregnant women and obese women over 40 are particularly prone to them – especially if they’ve had hormone replacement therapy – and almost half of all women are expected to develop gallstones by age 75, versus just 20 percent of men. To help prevent gallstones, eat a diet sufficient in fiber and regulate your unhealthy fat intake.

Whether you are man or woman, a healthy lifestyle – which includes diet, exercise and proper rest – goes a long way to prevent disease.

FINANCE Constant Watson III Defender Contributing Writer Taxpayers are always permitted to represent themselves, but the IRS governs who, as a third party, is permitted to represent a taxpayer before the IRS. Generally, the specific credentials required to represent a taxpayer before the IRS include being licensed as a Certified Public Accountant, an Enrolled Agent, or an Attorney.

Unenrolled tax preparers have a very limited ability to talk to the IRS about a return they prepared, but are not permitted to actually represent a taxpayer. In some instances, a family member may represent a taxpayer or a corporate officer may represent a corporation.

All taxpayers have the right to representation, but unless your tax problem is small, you should not represent yourself before the IRS any more than you should go to court without a lawyer.

If you do not understand the system and your rights within the system, it is unlikely you will discover the best solution to your problem. The IRS has no obligation to assure that you are achieving the best possible

So failure to hire a professional may be saving a dime while wasting a dollar. In certain instances, the taxpayer’s cost of hiring a professional is zero because the amount paid to the professional reduces the amount the IRS receives, dollar for dollar.

Here is an explanation of the three licensed professionals who are permitted to do actual representation.

To become a Certified Public Accountant, one must pass one of the most difficult professional examinations in the country. Certified Public Account (CPA) is the statutory title of qualified accountants in the United States who have passed the Uniform Certified Public Accountant Examination and have met additional state education and experience requirements for certification.

In most states, only CPAs who are licensed are able to provide to the public attestation opinions on fi-

An Enrolled Agent (EA) is a federally authorized tax practitioner empowered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury to represent taxpayers before the Internal Revenue Service.

Enrolled agent status is the highest credential awarded by the IRS and recognized across all 50 U.S. states.

“You should not

should go to court without a lawyer.”

Reminder: Many who hold the above credentials do not practice in the area of taxpayer representation and, therefore may not be competent to represent a taxpayer before the IRS. For example, a CPA may have experience in auditing financial records, or an EA may have experience in preparing tax forms, or an attorney may be an expert in real estate law, but none of the foregoing indicate that they would be competent in taxpayer representation.

Taxpayer representation requires a thorough understanding of IRS practice and procedure, which is different than substantive tax law that would be applied in the preparation of tax returns.

RECIPE

Black America Donna Battle Pierce Syndicated Columnist, (Black Press Syndicate) Yesterday, while waiting in line in my neighborhood store most of us appreciate more for selection and quality than economical prices, I imagined my mother and grandmothers laughing down on me regarding the produce in my cart.

“Yes, I know,” I nodded up to my invisible cooking partners, before clicking my phone for a quick online search to discover that the price I am paying for early “pesticide-free” spring dandelion greens could have afforded my mom steak dinners for our entire family when I was growing up in the ‘60s. My sense of dandelion urgency arose from a brief article I ran across in my research from a 1913 Emporia (Kansas) Gazette.

“It depends on how far you are from nature, whether or not you get a certain zest out of the external manifestations of this life…. Do you ever lie in the prairie grass and look at the big white clouds or the stars? Do you eat field mushrooms? wild grapes, red haws, hickory nuts and paw-paw?

Cooks

Spring Egg White Frittata

©2015 Donna Battle Pierce

1 carton (16 ounces) egg whites or 10 separated egg whites 2 teaspoons Soul or Creole seasoning blend Freshly ground pepper, to taste 1 1/2 cups dandelions, trimmed 1/2 cup chopped or shredded cooked turkey or chicken

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Whisk egg whites and seasoning together in a small bowl; add the egg white mixture to an oiled cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Let eggs cook, rotating the skillet as needed, until eggs begin to set, about 3 minutes.

Add the turkey and dandelion greens, rotating the skillet to spread the mixture as evenly as possible.

Lower the heat to medium. Cook an additional 3 to minutes. Transfer to oven. Cook until frittata begins to lightly brown around the edges and completely sets, about 8 minutes. Remove from the

oven; let rest 2 minutes before cutting into wedges and serving. Makes 4 servings.
