Mayor Rahm Emanuel announces Andrea Zopp as the new Deputy Mayor.

By

the time a familiar Chicago columnist dropped the news that former Chicago Urban League President and Illinois U.S. Senate candidate, Andrea Zopp would be named the Deputy Mayor for the City of Chicago—word had already traveled throughout political circles.

Last Thursday, Mayor Rahm Emanuel officially introduced Zopp’s new post, during a press conference at a CTA Red Line El stop on the far South Side. Surrounded by key South Side Black aldermen, he explained his decision in front of attending press and Chicago commuters.

“I have known Andrea Zopp for years, and like many people in this city I know she has the credentials, the creditability, and the commitment to our communities to deliver on our mission of building safer and stronger neighborhoods from the inside out,” said Mayor Emanuel.

In addition to her role as second Deputy Mayor, she will carry the responsibility as Chief Neighborhood Development Officer—a newly formed position the Mayor felt was necessary to create in order to build deeper ties to neighborhood businesses in low disparity communities.

Zopp is no stranger to the business world, a long-time attorney whose positions have included serving as General Counsel at Exelon, Sara Lee, serving as an Assistant U.S. State’s Attorney, as well as First Assistant in the office of the Cook County State’s Attorney.

Her transition from the corporate offices to becoming President of the Chicago Urban League landed her in the heart of the community—working both with major companies and small businesses, finding viable solutions to build economic stimulation and growth within the African-American

community. For five years, she built a solid relationship with community stakeholders and strengthening youth job opportunities partnering with the city in the One Summer Chicago Job program.

Her appointed position on the Chicago Public School board involved her in some tough decision making when the board voted to close 52 public schools in 2012. A dark cloud that followed her into the 2016 Democratic Primary U.S. Senate race against Illinois Senator Napoleon Harris and Rep. Tammy Duckworth. She strongly held her ground on the importance of economic development, quality healthcare, immigration reform, education and public safety—facing her critics head-on, she gradually strengthened her presence among voters who weren’t familiar with her background.

After the March Democratic U.S. senatorial candidacy race, Zopp took a much needed rest from the rigorous months of campaigning.

During a one-on-one interview with the Chicago Defender, both Mayor Emanuel and Deputy Mayor Zopp explained more in-depth the decision in creating this new high post in the administration.

“There is a lot going on in this city.

There’s no one here in the Mayor’s office whose only job was to focus on how are we improving, enhancing, creating opportunity and leveraging our investment across the city in the neighborhoods. It was very appealing to me and work that I’m passionate about. That was the original task,” says Zopp.

“In terms of where we start? Step one is making sure we’re on top of the projects that are already on the books, either underway or about to be announced, or about to be underway or in the planning stage--a wider range. To step in and say ‘are we doing what we said we’re supposed to do?’ Are we doing everything that we can do to strengthen our neighborhoods and in particular, especially on the South and West Sides.” She explains, “What I mean, where we are, there are additional grocery stores under consideration. Are we making sure that we’re talking to those store owners to make sure the procurement policies are right so that we get minority owned businesses, to ensure that they will be hiring directly from the community. If we need to do work with the re-entry and ex-offender community to make sure their eligible for positions.”

Mayor Emanuel feels confident in Zopp’s ability to deliver and bridge the disconnect that many Black residents feel about his office and the lack of retail access that is prevalent on the North Side.

Mayor Emanuel explains upon his entering his first term, the commitment to decrease Chicago’s food deserts, improving areas such as Pullman, and Englewood was high on his to-do-list. continued page, 07

LOCAL NEWS

By Ken Hare Defender Staff Writer

In

a series of investigative reports, the Chicago Defender newspaper takes an in-depth look at the West Side of Chicago, it’s residents, businesses, politicians, and church leaders. Located due west of the Loop, the west side boundaries vary depending on the realty company. However, city officials roughly define the west side proper as the Chicago River on the east, all the way to Austin Avenue on the far west side; 31st Street on the southern border to North Avenue on the north.

The West Side is the smallest of Chicago’s three geographical areas with an estimated 37.4 square miles. Today, it is the home to some of the city’s poorest and economically challenged citizens and deprived neighborhoods. Comprised predominately of people of color; namely Blacks (44%), and Hispanic/

ADVERTORIAL

The West Side was flux with white European immigrants many who had fled Europe due to persecution, economic and religious reasons; many who came with little more than the shirts on their backs. This sudden surge in numbers caused tension between the white ethnic immigrants who now found themselves living in cramped, overcrowded and unsanitary housing competing for jobs.

This set the stage for the next wave of migrants that would flood into Chicago – this time from within the country – the Great Migration. During the first half of the 20th century, Blacks had been fleeing the South from Jim Crow laws, violence and segregation in pursuit of education and economic freedoms. Settling primarily in the Black Belt on the south side and small pockets on the west side; Black migrants were squeezed into predetermined areas.

Much like their poor European counterparts, many Blacks who migrated from the rural south who settled on the west side had little more than the shirt on their backs. But the one thing that they did have that you couldn’t

West Side youth tumblers.

The West Side of Chicago Latino (34%), and some White (17%), together totaling over 480,500 citizens, it wasn’t always this way.

During the early 1800s, the West Side hardly extended west to Halsted as early settlers preferred to stay close to downtown for proximity and convenience. It wasn’t until the 1840s and 50s that wealthy white residents seeking to escape the busy downtown bustle decided to create a haven on the west side of Chicago. Thus, Union Park was born in 1854, which attracted wealthy residents who desired its serene settings compared to downtown. As a result, Lake Street began to grow as a retail district connecting downtown to the expanding West Side.

By the 1860s, poorer European immigrants began to move into the area transforming it into an “ethnically diverse” area.

And one of Chicago’s first Black settlement could be found along Kinzie and Lake Streets, according to Encyclopedia Chicago.

At the close of the 19th century, and the dawning of the early 20th century, European immigrants continued to pour into Chicago’s west side with each group laying claim to a part of town. Greek immigrants settled at Halsted and Harrison establishing Greek Town. Jewish immigrants settled at Roosevelt Road and Maxwell streets establishing what became known as “Jew town.” Italians settled along Taylor and Polk streets in what is known as Little Italy.

By this time, Chicago had annexed East and West Garfield Parks and Humbolt Park.

take away was their dignity. As noted by the founder of the Chicago Defender, Robert S. Abbot “ West Side residents [are] paragons of virtue when compared to the more numerous and culturally acclaimated South Siders,” a group from which he frequently felt alienated, according to the book: Black Migration to Chicago 1900-1919.

In an editorial titled “The Great West Side,” Abbot praised the West Siders for their “devotion to home, church, work, and community,” while criticizing South Siders for indulging in wasteful activities like leisurely strolling down the promenade.

Through a series of one on one interviews with elected gatekeepers, and men of faith: activist and entrepreneurs: educators and instigators; the Chicago Defender will take you into the heart of the West Side to uncover: What precipitated the breakdown of our Black brothers and sisters on the West Side? Which in turn, has led to the demise of the entire community and has left an entire generation grappling with uncertainty.

Starting out with community residents, both working and middle class; the Chicago Defender beginning in June presents you with the first of our investigative reports “West Side Stories.” Personal accounts that can only be told by those that have lived to see their once thriving communities transformed before their very eyes. We are at a critical moment in Chicago’s history and it’s up to us to define who and what we are going to be. Stay tuned you don’t want to miss this series ...

mid the luxury resort hotels and restaurants that dot the shoreline of Galveston’s year-round tourism lies an uncomfortable truth. This seaside resort nicknamed “Playground of the South” - that caters to the middle class and affluent tourists who generate about three-quarters of a billion in tourism has a deep dark secret.

“That certain classes just aren’t welcome in a rich beach town and they use and abuse the system to get rid of us,” claims Galveston, Texas, resident Sheila Bell. In 2001, the mother of seven children took her youngest son, who suffered from an asthma attack to the University of Texas Medical Branch for treatment.

Hospital representatives accused the mother of abandoning her son in the hospital and called Children Protective Services who removed all seven children from the household stripping her of her parental rights. “I just kept fighting,” she says.

Bell says she won her case in 2003 through “the grace of God” but her

children some of whom are adults now were never returned to her custody. She’s seen all of them but one, Christian Bell, and seeks the public’s help to reunite her with her son Christian.

Christian, seen in this photo was last known in 2008 to have been in a facility in Phoenix, AZ, called Aries LLC, according to Ms. Bell. Despite winning her case and petitioning local officials to return her children; a mother’s plea has fallen on deaf ears.

“Down here a lot of little towns are taking the children from the poor, low-income and predominately Black families who can’t afford an attorney.”

It’s a business she states, if they don’t have any children in the system they don’t make any money. If you or someone you know may know about the whereabouts of Christian Bell, he is around 20-years-old; contact Sheila Bell at 409.739.8411. Or by mail: Sheila Bell, P.O. Box 1001, Galveston, TX 77553.

Please help Sheila Bell reunite with her son Christian. “I want him to know I haven’t forgotten about him. I need him to know that,” she said. www.chicagodefender.com

Harriet Tubman was the first woman to lead U.S. troops in wartime.

By Walter Rhett NNPA News Wire Contributor

P

resident Obama said in his recent remarks that Harriet Tubman would likely greet the news she was on the $20 with little fanfare. In fact she might question how that would buy freedom. Still, while the change “on the money” is significant it has already become a political football for the presumed Republican frontrunner.

When Donald Trump calls Harriet Tubman’s selection as the face on the $20 bill “politically correct,” it is just another flag-wrapped slur.

Let’s face it: his record shows he befriends Blacks, but he cannot accept Black achievement on merit.

Nor can he accept a shift of power and image that results in a historic African-American replacing the legacy of a tarnished figure of the past or present. If you can’t keep them down, keep them out. Many in the country agree with him.

It’s one reason why today’s slurs come flag-wrapped. Affirmative action/politically correct/ grievance politics are labels of blame that imply bias trumps merit. Its underlying principle appears

Harriet Tubman’s Face on

in curious places. Found in the decision of Supreme Court Chief Justice Roger B. Taney regarding Dred Scott, in a floor speech by South Carolina Senator Ben Tillman, in editorials by respected journalist James J. Kilpatrick after the Brown school desegregation decision, it says opportunity by merit for some is un-American and dangerous.

Kilpatrick’s blunt editorials demanded school children be separated by race as the constitution makes no claim of “racial equality.” For him, the limits race put on opportunity were “unchanged by the Civil War, not altered in any way since the Constitution was created in 1787.”

The flag-wrapped principle of the new racism is the same as the old: opportunity has a freedom cost; it denies someone else a fair choice.

Opportunity and freedom are mutually exclusive in this old American formula; equality is really a battle about winners and losers, losers who want to mar and taint our history.

Few people in history understood this battle better than Harriet Tubman, on whose life the system and its stakeholders once put a $40,000 bounty. In fact, her entire life was anything but politically correct. More than today’s conserva-

the New $20 Bill Is Priceless

tives, she understood balance sheet politics and its customs.

Another tactic of the new racism employs equality to challenge Black merit; its deflection offers alternatives. Why not Susan B. Anthony?

Why not create a new denomination--the new racism’s version of separate but equal.

Because before Anthony, a woman who couldn’t rest without freedom slept on the cold, damp ground, hidden from the tracking hounds, outwitting her pursuers by risking her life for the simple action of bringing America’s freedom to others, an opportunity often more baffling than the bondage they had left, but one worth the ultimate, prayed for prize--worth every penny

the price put on her head. Her legendary work with the Underground Railroad help galvanize the women’s movement. It inspired many to defy the system and make change. In an act of self-definition, born Araminta Ross, “Minty” took her mother’s name, Harriet.

So let us honor the politically incorrect Harriet Tubman. In the arc of her life she drew strength from grief and pain. Denied her full pension after her Civil War army service, a healer during her work with Union soldiers in Port Royal, SC at Camp Saxton (she saved many lives from dysentery through her knowledge of folk medicine, passed to her by the enslaved and from Native American traditions), she taught many of the camp’s contraband (the enslaved in Union camps who were without status during the war) how to earn their first income by cooking and working for the soldiers.

She was the first woman to lead U.S. troops in wartime. Appointed to lead the sweep of mines from the local rivers, she accepted the assignment and its dangers, and asked to handpick her men.

Doing that mission, she freed 900 slaves, the largest single emancipation event of the Civil War. On shore, word outpaced the ships: “Moses

is coming. Moses is coming,” the words repeated as the enslaved gathered children and belongings (accounts say a pig or two) to crowd the decks of the ships bound back to Camp Randall.

She married a soldier from South Carolina that she met in Hilton Head and they returned together to Auburn, New York. In her fight for freedom during the war, in her service as a scout, spy, and nurse, she never fired a shot!

But she knew violence. At age 13, her skull was “broken,” smashed when a 2 pound scale weight thrown by the property holder left her in a coma for months and with a lifetime of pain, hypersomnolence, dizziness, and severe migraines.

On the day of emancipation, its first celebration at Camp Saxton at midnight (where a tree remains), her first words were “there’s a glory over everything.”

In February 1899, after more than 40 years of fighting the bureaucracy and politicians for compensation for her service, the Senate’s Committee on Pensions approved a widow’s pension for her of $20 a month. She who had a $40,000 bounty on her head, now has her portrait on money her status once denied. And yet that banner still waves.

hicago Community Trust spearheaded, throughout the city, conversations with a host of guests last week titled “On The Table” to discuss major issues plaguing this city. More importantly, it was geared to seek resolutions that can advance our agenda in re-establishing Chicago as the “City that Works.”

My participation was prompted by the evolving conversation on how to revitalize Bronzeville known as the Black Metropolis in its high time. The subject of our youth emerged inevitably since without their involvement, there is no future. We must allow their voices to be heard and we must listen. Perhaps there’s wisdom beyond our experiences and more to be gained from the vigor and fearlessness in the faith that youth often possess.

We discussed the necessity to come together with our young people in a forum allowing their voices to give us clarity so we can understand exactly where they are rather than come in an accusative and self-righteous demeanor.

Our children are our doing or our un-doing. At the end of the day, we are the ones responsible, no one but ourselves. We can blame it on the times, the economy, the gangs, the breakdown of the nucleur family, the failed public education system, the lack of resources, and yes, the systemic racism. But let’s remember we are the people who were told to pull ourselves up by our own bootstraps, yet we had no boots. Somehow we rose out of the bowels of nothing, wandering in wasteland with dried up dreams and hope

lessness surrounding us as we continued to push through the abyss.

Here we are once more as we experience our children kill one another over much less than a life’s worth. We witness brillance with no where to shine and “gifts that have no where to live.”

We concluded during our “On The Table” meeting that we must accept responsibility and cease to hold hands out to those we distrust but choose a life of self-determination, taking control of our homes, our children, our communities, our schools. From that point we move forward towards a future where our youth can survive and thrive.

It was unanimous that it begins in the home, the first institution where adult human beings teach in partnership, setting examples to provide for their children for them to grow to become functioning contributing adults.

We expressed the values that were monolithic among Blacks that carried us from under mental and emotional enslavement.

Our faith in that greater than ourselves, believing education was our key to freedom, respect for elders, pride in our race, and acceptance that each and everyone is an ambassador of our race were the main ingredients in how we took care of our own.

We took care of our people no matter how much or little we had. We shared our homes, our food and any other resources necessary to assist our extend-

ed family members in moving on up. In fact, we did not send our children away to the care of the government, instead we adopted within our families. Sister or brother or grandparents took responsibility by rearing and caring for children when parents could not or were in the process of improving their lives for the children.

Single mothers could raise their children, particularly their sons with the confidence that family and men within the community would actively be engaged in their sons growth and development.

It does take the community to create healthy wholesome human beings who grow up and become positive, contributive members of society. We must re-embrace, re-commit, re-es-

Fingerprinting Requirements For Chicagoans Of Color: Legalized Discrimination?

By Rev. Walter P. Turner Over the past month, there are aldermen considering the need for Uber drivers to go through a formal licensing process to include a fingerprint- based background check. In doing so, they’ve demonstrated how

they’ve lost sight of larger issues at stake in Chicago --- risking further alienation of communities of color.

It is becoming clearer how policing has disproportionately impacted lives of Black men and women everywhere, therefore our city leaders should now be taking a closer look on how background requirements will allow racial profiling to linger.

Fingerprinting for background checks cause problems. That is, they capture the innocent along with the guilty. The process compares an individual’s fingerprints alongside an out-of-date FBI database which often includes arrests that may never have resulted in criminal charges. Under this flawed system everyone whose been arrested could have their work

tablish, and re-institute the village, the entire, whole village.

terminated regardless of whether they were convicted or did anything wrong. An arrest should not automatically translate to a lifetime sentence.

However, for many Chicagoans who have had any encounters with the law, that’s just what happens. That is not merely a handful of people.

According to several studies, nearly one in three American adults have been arrested by the age of 23 and most for nonviolent offenses, such as drunkenness, disorderly conduct, and loitering.

And who does it impact most?

People of color. Why? They are more likely arrested, faced with harsher charges and tougher sentences.

Throughout this country, African-Americans are 10 times more likely to be arrested and four times more likely to be jailed than Whites, even though there’s no correlation between race and criminal behavior.

This is especially apparent in Chicago where Blacks represent 37% of the population under 18 years of age, but account in recent years for more than 79% of juvenile arrests. Further in Chicago, nearly 80% of working-age African-American men have criminal backgrounds.

In Illinois, more than 100 jobs are entirely off limits to anyone who has been convicted of a felony. Research shows that well over a year after serving their sentence, people are unable to find ways to make a living. With restitution costs and legal fees that easily absorb a low-income household’s annual income, recidivism under these circumstances seems inevitable.

Federal officials realize how devastating the cycle of incarceration and

recidivism has been on our communities. That’s why Attorney General Loretta Lynch launched an investigation into how local policing practices may need to change. Similarly, we need Chicago aldermen to recognize the long-term consequences of targeting communities of color and stop entertaining requirements that allow systemic discrimination within the law to persist.

Realizing that a minor interaction with the justice system at some time in one’s life should not prevent an individual to be a driver for Uber or Lyft. A background check should not interfer with opportunity for anyone attempting to get back on their feet after falling on hard times. Such jobs are flexible and easy to get started.

People with low-level, nonviolent offenses simply willing to work to put food on the table should be afforded the job opportunities after fulfilling their sentence and debt to society.

It is a known fact that unemployed people are more likely to commit crimes and less able to provide for their children or aging relatives. A growing number of leaders from varying sides of the political spectrum are supporting removing work barriers for ex-convicts.

As a pastor, I see daily how this matter impacts families in our communities. It is the difference between children growing up with parents who can support their families with honest work and children in broken homes under the weight of a parent’s lifetime sentence.

The fingerprint-based background check defines the worst moment of a person’s life. There are fair and accurate ways to determine an individual’s qualifications versus inhibiting a person from changing one’s life for the better. While we all want safe communities, Chicago aldermen must draw a line between policies that keep us safe and policies that simply discriminate.

Mayor Emanuel speaking at press conference. Photo by Mary L. Datcher “In Pullman, we have the largest green roof in the U.S. with the Method factory, in Englewood with Whole Foods, and in Bronzeville they are getting a Mariano’s. We are bringing in our public investments to leverage private investments but Andrea has an incredible set of contacts along with incredible creditability and commitment.”

As the first African-American female to hold this appointment as Chicago’s Deputy Mayor, there will be a great deal of responsibility and pressure to build back the public trust that dwindled from the school closings, police misconduct settlements, heightened violence and the biggest property tax increase in the city’s history. Zopp understands there is a long road ahead but she is prepared.

Reciting an old tale, Zopp said, “Trust comes in on a donkey and goes out on a quarter horse. It takes a long time to build trust but you can wreck it relatively quickly. This is going to take some time. Just because I’m in this role and I’m saying what I’m going to do, people are going to say ‘okay, good’. We still have to deliver. People have to see results and feel that I’m out there and that I’m coming back. That’s going to happen but we’re not going to rebuild all of this overnight.”

The Mayor said there are a number of changes across the city with additional resources including the city passing the Neighborhood Opportunity Fund.

The Whitney Young Library in the Chatham community will be undergoing a major renovation along with revitalizing the commercial business corridor along 79th Street.

Often the problem in enticing competitive retailers and merchandisers to Black communities is the concern of safety not necessarily economics. Although, many middle-class families and homeowners reside in these communities—it is still a major challenge. The city’s incentive is to do what’s viable and by any means necessary to create viable and an even playing field of opportunities to benefit both its residents and small business owners.

He said most major retailers do their analysis by price point with science and data. “My point is that I’m going to make it easy with us to help you. We’re not going to lose time or money. We’re going to expedite this process. Consumers will get a service that’s unprecedented. www.chicagodefender.com

“Trust comes in on a donkey and goes out on a quarter horse.

It takes a long time to build trust but you can wreck it relatively quickly” The city government and regulations will not be a speed bump. They make the decisions but if I can reduce time and costs, I can entice businesses to go to those areas,” Emanuel said even though there are different brands, it’s important to give residents the same choices that are in other parts of the city. “I don’t want to have them to think that putting a discount store in these neighborhoods mean they’ve checked the box.”

Zopp agrees with the necessity of making sure the quality and resources are available for both sides.

“My primary job is to laser focus on this so that we can speed it up. It has been happening and we don’t want to understate what has been done, but clearly it hasn’t been enough. We have to do more. We have got to address the core issue which is too many of our citizens of color, specifically AfricanAmerican residents feel like their living in a different city. We have a tale of two cities here in Chicago. We have to fix that,” she said.

The Mayor has two Deputy Mayors in his administration, whereas Steve Koch who has served since 2012 will continue to oversee economic affairs for the City, including overseeing the City’s financial team, economic policy, driving job growth and attracting corporate headquarters.

The additional responsibility that Zopp holds as Chief Neighborhood Development Officer is a broad and widespread role that will surely encompass the weight of community concerns beyond just economic development.

“Development is a broad term. I don’t have directly the education, or the public safety piece under my responsibility. If we have school issues, we have to figure them out. We have to facilitate building strong relationships with the District Commanders in the Black and Brown neighborhoods because we have to address the safety issue”. She said jobs for youth and ex-offenders are high priorities for the City. “The students that are not in school or not employed, we have to address that population. The reason that I bring some real strength to this job for that’s the approach we took at the Urban League. We understood economic development included small business growth and placing people in jobs. Also developing mentoring programs for our at-risk young people and making sure those resources are available will be important”.

In addition to access to affordable housing, Zopp used the Rosenwald rehabbed development as an example in the Bronzeville community on 47th & S. Michigan Ave. “We are going to make sure there’s a strong base of affordable housing there so that we don’t push people out and over gentrify it.”

How will the Mayor’s office communicate and inform neighborhood businesses about new programs such as the Neighborhood Opportunity Fund and other partnerships? With the current drama circling the Lucas Museum legal battle between the City of Chicago and Friends of the Park, not many small businesses seem concerned about the economic benefits that this can bring to the near South Side.

Zopp said businesses have more pressing concerns. There are a lot of benefits there that people don’t appreciate. There are two issues. One—people don’t read the details. Two—we have to do a better job communicating that.

There’s that disconnect because the prime thought is ‘I got to make my payroll this week.’ A project that may—if it comes in years is not the priority now.

Even the projects we have going on now, like the Whole Foods in Englewood have been talked about for years and they finally broke ground a year ago. It’s going to open in September and that project has taken a long time, she expressed.

Furthermore, she shared with most businesses it takes a little more time and it’s hard for owners to look that far out when people need jobs today.

“I think the way we get people to see that broader picture is to start getting them to discuss what they need with their businesses right now.”

Her next steps are to go directly into several neighborhoods hosting open discussions. “We’re likely to put together a community council with people to sit down with me. Talk to me about what they want. What are your aspirations?

What can we do to help build this into a vibrant community? We haven’t figured

out what the format looks like but I will absolutely be out talking to people in the community.”

Some critics of the Mayor believe this latest appointment of adding Zopp to his administration is to soothe the savage beast that has arisen from concerned Black residents whose voice rang throughout the country resulting in the ousting of Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez.

Zopp’s presence could add a much needed breath of fresh air.

In addition, to appointing long-time Chicago Police Department veteran, Superintendent Eddie Johnson and now, Andrea Zopp as his second DM—Emanuel is challenged with changing the political culture that has plagued the city for decades.

“The city needs somebody with Andrea’s ability to sit across the table from a CEO. She has the full creditability to bring as the former head of the Chicago Urban League and now as the Deputy Mayor to close these deals and move more of these opportunities.”

A wife and mother of three, Zopp is grateful for the support of her family and looks forward to this new chapter in her life. “They are very excited. I am very blessed to have a family that is happy and proud of my commitment to the community. They understand and appreciate my passionate nature so they’re happy to see me engage in doing something I care about,” Having some short downtime after the primaries, she laughs, “It takes my laser focus off of them, and puts me back in action.’”

LOCAL NEWS

By Mae Ebert Defender Contributing Writer

L

ast week the Kaiser Foundation New York Times Poll reported a 62% disapproval rate citywide of Mayor Rahm Emanuel with a 70% disapproval rate among African- Americans.

Disrespect for the Chicago police is at an all time high. As the summer dawns and the warmer weather wills, the city’s existing high level of violence is ready to explode, especially if the new proposed policies are adopted, warns Dean Angelo, Sr. with Chicago’s Fraternal Order of Police (FOP).

Angelo, Sr., President of Chicago Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 7, expressed foreboding how Chicagoans expect during the summer months when the city heats up and the humidity rises as the temperatures peak, so does gang violence. The truth is the climate of violence does not exist based solely on the temperature.

Many look at the low approval ratings as a direct response to the slow release of the LaQuan McDonald video, coupled with what the video revealed, followed by continued police violence, prompting the excelerated distrust in the police and then the Police Task Report disclosing the abuse by police against Blacks is higher than that towards Whites.

Angelo criticized as “ridiculous,” Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s public announcement that the Chicago PD is fraught with systemic racism and warned that the disrespect Emanuel’s words fostered toward police, and possible changes being proposed in the state legislature will cause the city to “light up” this summer.

A Hot Mess

in the Summer Time ...

During an interview conducted by local AM radio host Dan Proft, Angelo said that, “The FOP was targeted after the release of the video. Claims were made that the video was not released because of the FOP contract. So I have one question, what happened with our contract from November, 2014 -2015 that lead to the change? What happened that it went from no release to it being released? ” Angelo failed to mention that Judge Franklin Valderrama ruled that Chicago police must release dashcam video of an officer fatally shooting 16 times a Chicago teen. Nor did he cite Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez’s role in the perceived case mismanagement.

Proft referred to the claims of systemic racism released by the report, entitled “Recommendations for Reform: Restoring Trust Between the Chicago Police and the Communities They Serve,” is “a complete disconnect.”

The FOP leader also pointed out that his organization has repeatedly suggested that lawmakers and policy experts ride along with police to see what the officers face every day.

Angelo said,”To say that the officers that go into these communities don’t care for the communities they work in each and every day is a complete disconnect. What we would like to do is invite all these people that buy into that to ride along with those officers; get in the squad car with them.

We’ve asked City Council people to do it and they don’t. We’ve asked people in Springfield [State Legislature] to do it and they won’t… maybe they’ll lose their narrative if they go in there and they’ll see what happens, and they

“We lose the corner, we lose the block.

We lose the block, we lose the community, and it’s going to light up this summer.” will see what officers are faced with, they’ll gain a level of respect never seen before.”

Proft asked Angelo’s views specifically regarding the Task Force Report of systemic racism when the Chicago Police Department is made up of 48% minorities.

Angelo said, the claim that the police are “racist” is entirely skewed because the reports never take into account the hundreds of Hispanic and Black officers involved in many of the incidents and no allowance or determination was made as to whether or not these minority officers are as “racist” as the White officers.

“If you don’t take that into consideration, your numbers are skewed.

They’re not even considering the variables about ethnic officers stopping ethnic populations. Or are they racist, too?,” Angelo stated.

There are those who would disagree with Angelo and lean more towards the Task Force Report, which concluded that police “have no regard for the sanctity of life when it comes to people of color.”

Further, it stated that the Chicago

Police have alienated communities of color with use of force on individuals in those communities over a long period of time. The Task Force held town hall meetings and was charged with making specific recommendations for changes to the Department on community and police relations.

The community’s lack of trust in CPD is justified,” the report stated bluntly. “There is substantial evidence that people of color, particularly African-Americans, have had disproportionately negative experiences with the police over an extended period of time”, it continued.

The recent police shooting deaths over the last few years, which have received more attention as a result of the Black Lives Matter Movement, appear to bear those conclusions.

Chicago Police related shooting deaths of Bettie Jones, Quintonio LeGrier, Ronald Johnson, Laquan McDonald, Rekia Boyd, Cedrick Chatman and Aiyana Jones, as well as, the case of Phillip Coleman tazed to death, are just to name a few dubious cases in which use of deadly force by police was widely questioned.

The FOP Chief discussed his apprehension about plans in the State Capital to allow for totally anonymous complaints about supposed police misconduct, saying the policy will “light up this city.”

If complaints become anonymous, “most gangbangers” are going to have the Department complaint line “on speed dial,” Angelo points out. He went on to warn that with anonymous complaints constantly flooding the Department, officials will pressure cops to steer clear of areas where the com-

plaints are emanating from and that is a recipe for retreat, Angelo says.

Angelo said sergeants will only end up telling street cops to “stay away from that corner” because every complaint will result in a mound of paperwork.

“What happens with that,” Angelo warned, “When the sergeant tells us to stay away, we give them [the gangbangers] the corner. We lose the corner, we lose the block. We lose the block, we lose the community, and it’s going to light up this summer.”

Current statistics indicate that Chicago is on track to having its most violent year in decades. Since January the murder rates are up surpassing the last two years. The year 2014 recorded 623 shootings by the second week of May, while 2015 raised the bar to an even higher 734. But 2016 has already stacked up 1,236 shootings in which 221 citizens have died. In 2016, a Chicagoan is shot every two and a half hours, while one is murdered every 14 and a half hours.

Though Chicago is under the microscope, it is not the only city with an increase in violence. Nearly every urban U.S. city is witnessing murder with violence rates rising, primarily in minority communities. The issue of crime is not limited to the police brutality duly noted in the report. To ignore the gang violence and violence caused by other issues is part of the discussion that is necessary.

To his credit, Mayor Emanuel said that the city has to address the problems it faces and it will take the involvement of all those affected from the community residents, to elected officials, to community leaders, to business leaders, to the police and to the predators in order to correct the systemic racism and the intra-community violence. www.chicagodefender.com

EDUCATION

By Eleana Elan Defender Contributing Writer Well, the Book Expo America came and went, gracing Chicago with it’s spectacular presence, establishing the book publishing world as still live and flourishing with thousands gathered at the McCormick Convention Center, West Building. However, the noted change from the Javits Center in New York meant a smaller show according to Reed Exhibitions, which oversees the BEA. Walking into the Center the producers felt the downsizing and assumed that the new audience it would draw wasn’t as important. Reed’s Brien McDonald said, “this year is our most diverse and reflects the discovery Book Expo can provide.” Keep in mind that moving the show to Chicago was attracting a new crowd. McDonald noted that more than 1,000 new attendees from the Midwest were present at this year’s BEA. Further, the show gained a 10% increase in VIP attendees who don’t often make the trip to New York City for this event.

Amazed at the notion that this year was their most diverse, I looked around at the audience, the vendors, the presenting authors and found much to be desired. The question is if this was the most diverse, then does that mean Blacks and other people of color were excluded prior to 2016? Clearly Blacks were MIA (Missing In Action). As a Black person seeking out the smaller Black publishing houses, which were clearly absent, I walked the aisles thoroughly, up and down the vendor floor and saw perhaps 5 Blacks working the booths out of a little under 200 vendors.

Worse I saw only three other Black women like myself, and one Black man.

It felt lonely. I saw vendors representing international countries from China, Canada, France, England, Poland, Turkey and more, but I could not locate Black publishers. It was disappointing to say the least.

There were a few Black premiere authors whose books were high profiled and available for readings and book signings, such as children’s book author, Jerry Pinkney, Colson Whitehead, author of The Underground Railroad; Sebastian Junger, author of Tribal Yearning; Kareem Adul-Jabbar, author of Writings on the Wall; Gary Younger, author of Another Day in the Death of America, and a best selling author, Terry MacMillian.

On another note, it might have been me, but I felt that it was not as easy as it should have been to access the various lecture rooms or stage locations. That is, what conference/convention planner sets up a press room and provides no outlets to charge their laptops, phones and other devices?! Don’t believe it?

It‘s true... we had Wi-Fi, but no electrical outlets.

The absence of Blacks was upsetting, especially when Pew Research Center recently released a study that shows Black women represent the highest percentage of readers in the country. The question is why hasn’t mainstream publishers grabbed the opportunity to sell to this market? So thank goodness a panel of Blacks in

www.chicagodefender.com

Blacks Missing at BEA the literary book publishing industry were organized to present their views regarding this issue titled “In Search of a Book Buyer: African-American Women Top the List,” organized by Vanesse Lloyd-Sgambati, CEO of the Literary Media and Publishing Consultants, Regina Brooks of Serendipity Literaray Agency, Chicago’s own Ken Smikle, President of Target Market News. They discussed the study and how to provide publishers marketing tips, locating readers, learning what do they buy, and finally, how to overcome the lack of books that service the specific demographic of African-American women. Troy Johnson, President of AALBC. com (African-American Literature Book Club) moderated the panel.

Ms. Lloyd-Sgambati, a literary consultant has produced events all around the country under the banner of The Literary Café™ for adult authors. Oftentimes the authors would gather and read excerpts from their books or engage in literary dialogue of interest to their readers, as well

“African-American women are core book buyers, but still experience a void in the book industry that cater to this group.” as book signing opportunities.

Ms. Lloyd-Sgambati said, “There’s a hunger for, in the market for what is termed sister friendly books, which can be about Black or White characters so long as it speaks to the issues that interest them.” The fact that, “African-American women are core book buyers, but still experience a void in the book industry that cater to this group” is puzzling.

African-American women have been loyal readers and buyers of books, so one

can’t help but ask the question, so what’s the problem?

Ms. Lloyd–Sgambati says, if you’re still not convinced, then you don’t have to look very far and pointed to Johnson’s AALBC.com, a list of almost 800 book clubs across the country and it is not by any means the complete list. In addition, there is an annual book club conference that attracts this group. African- American women in particular are drawn to books and the book clubs because it creates a forum to learn and share and participate in conversation. “You have to remember that not so long ago, it was punishable by death for a Black person to read because white society feared mainly the spread of knowledge”, says Lloyd-Sgambati.

Johnson says, “Black men are reading too, although their choice of genres may differ, but their hunger is just as strong.”

They seek books that speak to their experience. Women are more likely to go to a book reading or book signing for their

interest is visibly tangible, whereas you have to research to gather evidence for the men’s habits.

So, it’s quite similar to the Academy Awards. We spend our money, go to the movies, and are ignored at the Oscars. Well, we make up a strong percentage of the consumer book market and remain ignored. Llyod-Sgambati says, “the system has to change to provide opportunities to others (people of color). And contrary to popular belief that Black books are dead, the opposite is true. The current market is alive and well, but we have to teach our youth to read.”

Which brings me to the best part of the Book Expo America, Bernie’s Book Bank. This is an organization that provides the 61% of low income families who have no books, computers or other technical devices, books for at risk children to have a better life.

Books are collected through donations from individuals, groups, book drives, book distributors, and publishers. Books are sorted by grade levels, labeled and bagged by volunteers.

Then the books are distributed to children who need them throughout the Chicagoland area. Each child receives a package of 6 books twice a year, equivalent to a book per month. The goal of Bernie’s Book Bank is to distribute 4 million books per year, serving all of the estimated 300,000 at risk youth with 12 quality books.

Jane Adler, Director of Finance at Bernie’s Book Bank said, “Those that have do not realize the hardships of the children’s families we serve. Most do not have computers, so having books to read is a wonderful alternative that helps them to improve their reading and increase their interest in reading while expanding their horizons.” As of 2015, they have collected 5.3 million quality books, processed and distributed to 130,000 youth annually.

COMMENTARY

By Jesse L. Jackson Defender Guest Contributor

HICAGO, May 17 – The elementary school closest to my home in Greenville, SC was just down the street from my house. The school had a lush lawn, tulips under the principal’s window, a shiny sliding board and a merry-go-round. I knew in my bones that was where I was going to attend first grade. I couldn’t wait for summer to end and class to begin.

When that day came, my mother took me by the hand and walked me right past that beautiful building and grounds.

“Momma we passed the school,” I said.

“No, Jesse,” she said. “That’s not your school.”

We trekked more than two miles to the other side of town before stopping in front of a worn out looking building. There was no grass in front. No flowers or sliding board. No merry-goround.

“This is your new school,” Momma said.

The sparkling schoolhouse just down the hill from me was for the white children. The shabby facility clear across Greenville was for the black children – children like me.

The unfairness broke my sixyear-old heart. The memory of

A young Rev. Jesse L. Jackson with a young Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.

On Solid Ground the pain I felt has never left me.

That is why May 17 is such an important day to me and for the country. It was on this day 62 years ago that the Supreme Court of the United States of America handed down its decision in Brown v.

Board of Education, declaring that “separate but equal has no place” in public schools.

This is a big day in African American and American history. All the rights we have post-slavery can be traced back to May 17, 1954. That decision changed the whole Western World because it began a new global frame of reference for equal protection. It is a day that should be remembered and celebrated.

“That decision changed the whole Western World because it began a new global frame of reference for equal protection.”

The next year, the Court ordered the schools comply with its desegregation decision with “all deliberate speed.” But then as now, the reactionary force did everything in their powers to delay

Still, the struggle continues. The culture of resistance to our having these rights is strong, but at least legally we are on solid ground. Just the other day, a federal court ordered the schools in Cleveland, Mississippi, which are still divided by race, be consolidated and desegregated – 62 years after they were supposed to have been. The court, according to The New York Times, found that the Cleveland school district had operated for decades an “inadequate dual system” in the Mississippi Delta city of about 12,000 people.

In most of America today, it is not race that separates our school children. It is resources. It is not talent. It is opportunity. I have been fighting for a fairer share of resources and opportunities for all Americans since 1966 when Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., named me to head Operation Breadbasket in Chicago. Breadbasket was the economic arm of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.

We have never stopped doing Dr. King’s work. Next month at the Hyatt McCormick Place in Chicago, the Rainbow PUSH Coalition and Citizenship Education Fund will hold its 45th annual International Convention – A More Perfect Union: From Freedom to Voting Rights to Economic Justice.

We will pause to remember May 17 and all the victories that came because of it. Then we will return to work and continue fighting for our country.

equality and to deny justice. When I graduated from high school in 1959, the schools of my hometown were still separate and unequal.

Every day, I had to walk past Greenville High School – green grass, well-maintained fields to practice and play football. My teammates and I at Sterling had to walk two miles from our school to find a field to practice.

Of course, over time, things did get fairer, more equal. For after the Brown v. Board decision the fledgling Civil Rights Movement had a brand new weapon – the law.

hicago born internationally renown artist, Henry Threadgill, a saxophonist and flautist known as one of the most original composers influenced by jazz, has been awarded the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Music for his recording In for a Penny, In for a Pound.

Threadgill spent most of his life making music on the south side of Chicago as a founding member of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM). Chicago music lovers of the more creative and progressive genre of jazz are not in the least bit surprised.

The jury described the piece as a “highly original work, in which notated music and improvisation mesh in a sonic tapestry that seems the very expression of modern American life.” The recording was released as a 2-CD collection on Pi Recordings in 2015, and was listed among the Top 10 albums of the year in the NPR Music Jazz Critics Poll.

Threadgill’s composition was written for his working quintet Zooid, In For A Penny includes four move-

Threadgill uses the literary term “epic” to describe each section. It furthers an organizational method he has pursued for nearly 15 years with Zooid, allowing for contrapuntal improvisation within a specific intervallic framework.

Threadgill spoke about Zooid, which inspired the piece, “The group is the longest-running musical ensemble I’ve had. It’s not about the number of years — it’s about 100 percent to 150 percent that they give. So they were in for a penny, you see. And if you’re in for a penny, you’re in for a pound.”

he noted jazz artist, musician Wayne Shorter was recently bestowed the honor as a brilliant composer by the Guggenheim Foundation. This acknowledgement awarded him the Guggenheim Fellowship.

The music of Wayne Shorter has left an indelible mark on the development of music for the past half-century. First, he rose to prominence in the late 1950’s as the primary composer for Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers. He later joined the Miles Davis Quintet and was referred to by the band leader as the ensembles’ “intellectual musical catalyst” before co-founding the pioneering group, Weather Report. He has led his own highly acclaimed quartet since 2001.

because, “Epics reveal a lot of information and like a grand epic, it could have a number of short novellas as part of it. He envisioned his piece as having many parts and was inspired by other disciplines, “I got into this piece, while I was reading a lot of epic poetry.

Literature, especially fiction and poetry, has a way of opening up new formats and plots.”

Threagill explained that this particular piece was designed for chamber-listening spaces. He said further, “It’s designed to be performed in a chamber space. It wouldn’t come off well in just any kind of space. You can’t always play everything that’s in your repertory in all environments. It’s just not possible. Well, not the music that I write anyway!”

As the process evolved what emerged for the composer, was an

“Mr. Shorter’s mastery is in knocking down the wall between jazz and classical.” (New York) The Chicago Symphony, Lyon Symphony, Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, Prague Philharmonic and Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra are among the orchestras that have performed his symphonic compositions. Renee´ Fleming and the Imani Winds, acclaimed artists and ensembles, have performed his works.

Mr. Shorter has received commissions from St. Louis, Nashville, Detroit, the National Symphony, the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the La Jolla Music Society. Over 200 of his compositions are performed around the world by premiere art-

epic for him as well. Threadgill explained, “I didn’t have to write one for myself, because it’s already built in among all of the other pieces as a part of the entire fabric.”

Threadgill says that this work is different than his other works because, “This is the one that breaks the way I was writing. Let’s talk about serialism.

Strict serialism is a chromatic form of writing. Then there’s procedures that goes with the strict serialism. Once you throw out those procedures, it becomes a sort of free serialism. So the work prior to In For A Penny was a stricter viewpoint in the way I perceived and treated the material. With this piece I’ve gone to a freer place with this concept.”

ists and studied by scholars and students alike.

His current symphonic work continues to evolve the dynamics between fully realized score and creating improvisation, as he refers to as, “a flashlight into the unknown.” Further Mr. Shorter says, “I want the audience to feel what might be necessary in order to continue this life in a way that has never been done before so that we can have a new way of dialoguing based on being free of comfort zones in life and develop the courage to be fearless and not be afraid of the unexpected and the unknown.”

Historically the Pulitzer Prize is an award that has celebrated compositions in the classical style. However, Threadgill’s work blends a lot of improvisation with pre-defined composition.

Threaddgill describes his work as, “ . . . a balance between notated music and improvisation that occurs. What is notated is what is written, the improvisation takes place, and the composition contains all of it. That’s what I do as a composer.”

Threadgill expressed that he is happy that the Pulitzers’ views have broadened, and seen fit to award him.

He said, “I and others who have been working outside classical music have been creating art for a long time, and sometimes it doesn’t fall under the rubric of so-called classical music.

Nonetheless, it is just as creative, and important.”

In Threadgill’s opinion, “The Pulitzer Prize has made a major statement, in recognizing my work and others’, that they have a bigger picture of creativity. Because that’s what we need as a country and as an artistic community, is to have all art forms recognized.”

When asked how the award might change his career, He said, “That’s like asking a woman whose just given birth, ‘When are you going to have the next baby?”

Mr. Shorter’s outstanding record of professional achievement continues with 10 Grammys, including a Lifetime Achievement Grammy in 2015.

WARM IT UP

The Hall Way and Drink It Down

By Ken Hare Defender Staff Writer

W

hen asked: What’s going on in the world of dance?

The artistic director and co-founder of the company that carries his namesake – Joel Hall Dancers – responded “It’s going through what we know of as ‘Concert Dance.’

It’s going through somewhat of a change into a 21st-century mode.”

“What we know as dance today is 20th-century dance because all of the creators were in the 20th century: Ailey, Mr. Mitchell, Martha Graham and George Balanchine. All these people were 20th-century choreographers,” the living legend said.

Established in 1974 as the Chicago City Theater Company, Joel Hall Dancers is one of Chicago’s premiere dance companies and one of the nation’s most recognized names in classical, modern and freestyle dance. The creator of over 70 ballets for his company insists that “We’re dealing with a different kind of audience that is influenced by technology. They can pull up anything and watch it on YouTube.

They don’t have to sit in a theater. They don’t have to spend any money.”

Dance like the rest of American culture is trying to find a way of survival; in a 21st century way, he opined. “Choreographers are the social scientist and we’re making social commentary.” Mr. Hall, a native Chicagoan who grew up in Cabrini Green learned a lot about choreography from his environment. Growing up in a challenged community taught him timing and coordination he says. “It forces you to become aware of your surroundings. In the dance world it’s perfectly suitable. You have to know what everyone else is doing and thinking and sync your movements with theirs.”

Having created new works with composers and live music, Hall is on the precipice of merging 2oth century techniques with 21st-century sensibilities. As seen in his recent works like Civil Rights Opera (2012) and Conversations with Charles Heath (2013).

Having reached his 40th-year anniversary in 2014, Hall says his foundation is stron-

ger than ever and his vision is coming together thanks to his newfound appreciation of his African spirituality. Hall, who at one time discovered that a trusted employee and confidant had betrayed him and put his company at risk was forced to deal with the business side of dance which can be elusive to the creative mind. “I’m grateful for the experience, the adversity taught me a valuable lesson, one I try to impart to my students,” he said.

The Joel Hall Dancers and Center are comprised of three independent companies: JHDYC (Youth Company), JHD II (Trainee Company), and Joel Hall Dancers, the premiere company.

“My goal,” says Joel “is to focus more on the holistic development of the dancers. I have really good people in all three companies, adults, and children and I want to take them to another level of dance. And that’s what I’m planning.”

Hall then enthusiastically whips out a scroll and slowly unrolls it to reveal a vision he’s had going back to the late 80s. It’s an architectural rendering of a multiplex dance/theater/retail center that he would like to have built someday from the ground up. “Dance within a supportive community that’s self-sustaining.” The shops generate income to cover the expenses while the not-for-profit runs the dance center and theater.

Hall insists this is the future of the dance community and that this approach is what’s needed now in the Midwest he says. “I’m looking to partner with some philanthropist and putting together a new board to bring this vision to pass.”

Hall who was profiled on History Makers was notified that his interview was officially archived by the Library of Congress takes it all in stride. The city of Chicago just honored him earlier this year with a Joel Hall day and then last week renamed a portion of north Clark Street after him.

Lori Cannon, who is one of the co-founders of Open Hand an organization that provides meals on wheels to PWAs initiated the street renaming to honor Hall’s work in the LGBTQ and HIV communities. When asked: How did it feel having a street named after him while he’s alive?

Hall stated “It’s not for me. It’s for my ancestors.”

And that my friends is the Joel Hall way.

If you have elimination difficulties and suffer with constipation, hot water can assist your digestive system. Studies conducted by the Digestive Disease Associates of York County, drinking warm water helps to regulate the bowels. Further, if you first drink warm water prior to eating, this will assist in ridding food remnants left in your system, as well as, in maintaining a clean digestive system.

TIMULATES HAIR S GROWTH

Dry hair often causes breakage and the inability for hair to be healthy and grow. By drinking warm water, the roots become hydrated and healthier. Warm water helps to activate the roots of your hair, decreasing hair dehydration which prompts hair growth.

Now.....warm that water up and drink it down! www.chicagodefender.com

RECIPE

Black America Donna Battle Pierce Syndicated Columnist, (Black Press Syndicate) Among the many factors which bolstered my courage to go against my parent’s wishes and insist on becoming a food journalist writing about chefs, restaurants and recipes, a simple dinner in Crisfield, Maryland stands out.

Spending a long ago weekend with a friend from Maryland’s Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay, we drove by signs proclaiming Crisfield the “Crab Capital of the World.” But I didn’t pay attention to the claim until we ordered dinner from a simple restaurant my friend described as “the reason I want to return home to Maryland after we finish college.”

One bite into what I can still recall as a tender, flavorful, delicate, slightly crunchy softshell crab, and I felt certain about two things: 1.

Yes, I wanted to write about American regional dish-es and ingredients to share and preserve our delicious heritage recipes with others.

And 2.: Based on the perfect seafood morsel I had just tasted from nearby waters, if Crisfield wasn’t officially the Crab Capital of World, it should be.

“Soft shell crabs have to be conveyed to market with extreme rapidity if they are to be sold fresh,” Alan Davidson informs us in The Oxford Companion to Food, adding, “Many are frozen in the soft state, which permits marketing them to distant places. They are suitable for frying…or grilling.”

Sof t Shell Crabs

©2015 Donna Battle Pierce

8 soft shelled crabs 2 tablespoons salt 1 pint water 1 teaspoon Creole or soul seasoning 1/2 teaspoon pepper 1/2 cup corn meal 1/4 cup flour This time of year, as blue crabs outgrow and shed their hard shells, I’m enjoying softshell crab season in distant Chicago where several fish markets import soft shell blue crabs from the Ches-apeake Bay as another sign of approaching summer. After you ask to have yours cleaned at the market, Freda DeKnight,recommended soaking the soft shell crab in a salt- or milk solution for 30 minutes before frying . This recipe is adapted from her fantastic “A Date with A Dish” cook-book, of which I used all 400 pages as “Exhibit A” when I announced my irrevocable decision to become a food journalist to my parents.

Donna Pierce is a 2015 recipient of a Harvard Nieman Foundation Visiting Fellowship who is currently working on a cook book about historic Black recipes and cooks. She is the former Assistant Food Editor and Test Kitchen Director for the Chicago Tribune and Contributing Editor for Upscale Magazine.

Lay crabs in a pan; Mix 1 pint of water with 2 tablespoons salt. Pour over crabs. Let stand 30 minutes. Remove, drain. Dip in corn meal, flour and seasonings mixed. Fry in deep fat, turning until brown and crisp on both sides.

Allow 2 small or 1 large crab per person.
