The Dead Weight Do Chicago Schools Have a Problem With Lead?

By Ken Hare

Defender Staff Writer

Chicago State Rainbow Push Members surround Dr. Calhoun, Dr. Ewa I. Ewa, Dr. T. Olagbemiro, and Dorothy Charles KoKo in warm welcome to Chicago State University Partnership

Chicago State’s Trans-Atlantic Partnership

By Ken Hare

Defender Staff Writer

In

a prescient moment back in 2012, James Gomez of Rainbow’s Push Coalition International Division planted a seed that has now resulted in a watershed moment for Chicago State University. On May 2, Chicago State University and Edwin Clark University of the Delta State of Nigeria signed an initiative that offers reciprocal accreditation through International Exchange Opportunities on both continents for interested students.

Inspired by a conversation initiated by James Gomez, Dr. Ewa I. Ewa and CSU’s former president Wayne Watson commenced the discussion back in 2012 about a possible educational partnership between the two schools. Considered by some as an outcome of the Global African Partnership Forum that seeks to promote improved dialogue between Africa and the United States, the two schools have raised the bar in exposing students to a global perspective.

Says Dr. Angela Henderson, CSU provost “We are looking forward to bringing authentic academic and global experiences to both continents while working with instructional programs towards successful student outcomes.” The university, which hosted the first Global Africa Partnership Forum in 2014, seeks to “stimulate trade and exchange of ideas, which will lead to more sustainable development for all parties,” according to a press release.

Rigorous curriculum According to Dr. Ewa I. Ewa, the international programming will expose students and faculty to a rigorous curriculum in prelaw, STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math), Business, and Social Services among other classes. Areas of collaboration will include: •Exchange of undergrad students from Edwin Clark University in study-abroad programs through Chicago State University with the objective of enrolling student in courses appropriate to their year and area of study and providing access to cultural activities as part of the study-abroad experience.

•Exchange of graduate students with

the objective of enrolling students in select graduate programs for which admission requirements are met.

•Exchange of academic projects, course information, seminars, conference and any other data and information of common interest.

•Provision of an opportunity for faculty to explore common interest with the goal of developing joint projects and other collaborative initiatives.

•Support reciprocity in other university activities of common interest.

Originally founded in 1867 as an experimental teacher training school, CSU is the only public university in Illinois that offers a bachelor’s degree in International Studies and commits to a multicultural learning environment. The university also offers Baccalaureate, Masters, and Ph.D. degrees with professional certificates in various areas.

Edwin Clark University is a multidisciplinary institution established by the Edwin Kiagbodo Clark Foundation in 2015. Named after Edwin Kiagbodo Clark, who was appointed Commissioner for Education by General Yakubu Gowon, he sees the powerful role that education plays in national development and cohesion, and articulates the view that education is about empowerment, creativity, and encompasses character building and a good sense of judgment.

The two schools, after years of planning and negotiations by Vice Chancellor Timothy Olagbemiro, Dorothy Charles Koko, Foundation Secretary of Edwin Clark University of the Delta State of Nigeria and The CSU leadership, have finally cemented a much-needed trans-Atlantic educational partnership under President Thomas J. Calhoun “Chicago State University aims to be the best urban public university in the Midwest, said Dr. Thomas Calhoun, CSU president.

We are working aggressively to develop relationships internationally with high-quality institutions across the globe. In today’s global economy it is important for our students and faculty to work and learn cross-culturally, fostering relationships that will support the advancement of our university” “This is a great opportunity for both universities,” said Dr. Angela Henderson, provost of CSU.

04 May 25 - 31, 2016 • THE CHICAGO DEFENDER

On May 4, the Chicago Defender published the first part of an investigative series about lead in Chicago’s water supply and its scientifically proven effects on juvenile delinquency. The story was quickly seized upon by other media outlets as Chicago is beginning to experience its own version of Flint, Michigan.

Unlike in Flint, Chicago’s tap water doesn’t taste foul, emit strong odors or contain any discoloration; however, the presence of lead in the drinking water is largely undetectable as lead doesn’t necessarily change the color or taste, thus offering a false sense of security to the unsuspecting public.

Last month when Chicago announced that it would start testing its water to see if it was partly responsible for lead poisoning, the then-commissioner Tom Powers resigned all of a sudden. He told Chicago Parent Magazine in a 2014 interview, “I have my own kids drink this water. This water is safe by EPA standards.” Then: Why the sudden resignation?

Lead, a known neurotoxin that detrimentally affects children and fetal development, has sparked recent debate as to its contribution to juvenile delinquency.

While the debate continues among professionals as to the validity of this theory, the Chicago Defender couldn’t help but notice the startling number of youth arrested by the Chicago Police Department in the past two years.

In a related story, we reported on data provided to us in a FOIA request that showed over 18,000 juveniles arrested in Chicago in 2015, and almost 15,000 juveniles arrested in 2014. That’s 33,000 youth in two years, and fewer than 60 had attorneys present while being interrogated.

While lead’s impact on childhood development is undeniable, not everyone is convinced it has anything to do with increased juvenile delinquency.

Doctor Denies Link to Delinquency Dr. Carl Bell, a psychiatrist at the Community Mental Health Council, who specializes in youth exposed to violence, says “It’s not true. It makes for a good headline, it sounds good, but it’s not true.” Citing a report by the National Academy of Sciences that states that violence is down 50 to 60 percent from 10 to 15 years ago, he stated.

“I trust the NAS. It’s the best science in the world.”

In a 2003 case study titled “Bone lead levels in adjudicated delinquents” the study looked at 340 youths and concluded that elevated body lead measured by bone lead concentrations are associated with elevated risk for adjudicated delinquency.

And, as this topic continues to capture the public’s attention; the city of Chicago is now testing the water at 31 public schools across the city.

“The Chicago Defender discovered that the majority of the schools being tested are on the south and west sides of Chicago, in predominantly Black neighborhoods.”

In a FOIA request submitted to Chicago Public Schools, the Chicago Defender discovered that the majority of the schools being tested are on the south and west sides of Chicago, in predominantly Black neighborhoods. Only four schools on the list were on the north side of Chicago.

According to Dr. Steven Aks, toxicologist at Stroger Hospital, once a child is exposed to lead it goes from the blood into other tissues and then it will settle into the bones “fairly promptly at the time of exposure.” The settling in the bones can occur within “days to weeks” he stated.

Terry Mason, COO, Cook County Department of Public Health stated in an email “Generally, Chicago and Cook County numbers of children with elevated levels of lead has been decreasing – as is the trend throughout Illinois. As the state-certified public health department for suburban Cook County, that is what we have seen in our jurisdiction. Note that while lead levels are decreasing, lead remains a problem. We know that even very small amounts of lead can affect children’s behavior and cognitive function.”

Dr. Bell, when asked about possible treatments for those affected by lead poisoning, said, “They have lead withdrawal, biotechnical things, EDTA which is lead removal medication. Then they have psycho-social programs like Behavioral Day programs.”

The Triple P, Positive Parenting Program ®, is a parenting and family support system designed to prevent – as well as treat – behavioral and emotional problems in children and teenagers.

Dr. Aks, who has dealt with lead poisoning for the past 25 years, says someone poisoned with lead can be treated with chelation. But the best treatment by far is “prevention,” he said.

For the most part, the city insists that the water is safe. The Department of Water Management spokesman, Gary Litherland, says “Chicago tap water is safe and clean, exceeding all standards set by the USEPA and the Illinois EPA.” “That’s exactly what they told Flint residents,” says Shaidah Shareef, Bronzeville resident and community activist. www.chicagodefender.com

E NOTES

By Kai EL’Zabar

Defender Executive Editor

Senseless tragedies just keep coming Like most, I was struck with disbelief, then by the misdirected anger that rushed over me upon hearing the news of 49-year-old Yvonne Nelson, who was shot dead as she stepped outside the Starbucks at 35th and State. I stop in at this shop every morning, and our staff makes afternoon runs there.

The shooting occurred shortly after 4 p.m., according to police, only minutes after police superintendent Eddie Johnson announced a major push to curb surging violence. Johnson was proud to inform the public of 140 arrests in a major gang crackdown at a press conference at police headquarters at 3510 S. Michigan Ave. Yvonne Nelson was a dispatcher for 14 years with the city’s 311 Center, according to city records. Also shot in the buttocks was a 19-yearold man, described by police as a gang member, who ran north on State Street to tell police he had been shot. Police said the man was targeted in the shooting. The bullet was meant for him.

Sources say otherwise. He in fact worked at Jimmy John’s, a fast-food restaurant next to Starbucks.

So many innocent die because they are at the wrong place at the wrong time at the hands of a reckless, lawless anybody (mostly gang members) meaning to shoot someone else. It doesn’t matter, innocent or gangbanger, dying for senseless

disputes is unacceptable. Killing an innocent child because they are the son or daughter of a gang member; or the mother of a gang member, it doesn’t matter, none of it is acceptable. Our community has to step up and say enough!

Mother’s Day weekend was riddled with all sorts of meaningless deaths at the hands of our people.

There were 49 shootings in total, 7 being fatal. This is happening every day in Chicago in a big way. And we ask why do our children not expect to live to become an adult?

And let me point out that the worse crime is the crime of a 13-yearold girl who was allegedly given a knife by her 35-year-old mother, Tamika Gayden, to kill 15-year-old De’Kayla Dansberry.

Why? Who is this mother? What is her story?

Andrew Holmes, Community activist, says that the community is caught up in the deadly cycle of violence.

Michael Airhart, CEO of All Kids Matter, says, “It shouldn’t be that way. Gang members are acting based on what happened in the past. They have fathers that have been through the same thing. I know because I had my taste of being in a gang until I realized the gang didn’t love me,” This is the vicious cycle — a way of life that has become what is known with no alternatives to offer a way

rescue us is not going to happen.

We get angry that white police officers show no compassion with our youth, that they shoot them armed or unarmed and though it is wrong, absolutely, and though it is due in part to racism, we have to be accountable through our actions by demonstrating that we love our children as much as we say that we do.

Holmes says, “Men, we need to step up more like we have been doing, get these streets, beat these streets, talk to these teens.”

Percy Coleman, father of Phillip Coleman, victim of police brutality, says that, “We can win our communities back through community engagement, working together as a team in unity with the community.

Governor’s Stance on Budget Hurts Entire State Dear Editor: As of this writing, the state is beginning its 11th month without a complete budget for the 2016 Fiscal Year, and we are days away from the deadline for passing a budget for the next fiscal year. Though House Democrats continue to fund critical state services, including breast cancer screenings, in-home care for the elderly, meals for homebound seniors, and higher education, as well as funding for victims of child abuse and sexual assault, legislative Republicans and Gov. Rauner block our efforts.

While House Democrats’ priority has been to pass a comprehensive, full-fiscal year budget using a balanced approach that includes spend-

Michael J. Madigan ing cuts but does not decimate needed services, Rauner’s priority puts his personal agenda first and attacks the wages and standard of living of the middle class. His insistence on passing his personal agenda has been the single roadblock to finding a true bipartisan budget solution.

However, since March 26, 2015, Rauner has approved six budget proposals that did not include any part of his personal agenda. This reaffirms my previous statements that when the governor sets aside his personal agenda that hurts middle-class families, we can make progress on the state’s most important issue. The people of Illinois want to see progress. They want to see a comprehensive full-year budget. I, too, am committed to passing comprehensive budgets for Fiscal Years 2016 and 2017. I also hope the governor will look at his recent budgetary actions and see that we can come together to find reasonable solutions when he sets aside his personal agenda that will hurt middle-class families and has nothing to do with the budget.

The Chicago Defender is able to print about one out of every three letters it receives. Here’s what you should do to increase your chances of having your letter published.

1. Your letter must carry three pieces of basic information to make it from the starting line: your full name, your hometown and a voice telephone number at which we can reach you.

This includes e-mail letters. Including your work phone number – if you can take calls there – speeds things up.

Usually, we don’t even read anonymous letters.

2. Please print or typed double-spaced.

3. Keep it short. We suggest an upper limit of 300 words, but shorter is better, and we try to condense every letter. We do edit all letters for length, clarity, and taste. Writing “Do not edit” on your letter usually guarantees that we won’t … but we won’t print it either.

4. Help us verify your factual information. A letter that says, “According to the January issue of Speak Out, youth are more likely to rally and march than to engage in dialog,” will get printed before one that just says, “Youth rally and march but don’t engage in dialog.”

5. It’s okay to comment about news stories, our editorials, columns, photographs and all kinds of news

ever now is the time to put yourself into the game and be the change.

None of us is safe, you can be shot driving, sitting in your home, playing in the park or walking out of Starbucks. Active engagement, on the ground with the people is the only way we can turn this around.

A comprehensive approach that will restore love, respect, compassion and value for our neighbor is the beginning of what a new future requires.

There are community town hall forums, programs and more going on to assist in transforming our communities.

decisions made by the Chicago Defender. It helps us if you give a publication date for the thing that caught your eye. You also can respond to other letters, but make it about the issues instead of a personal attack on another letter writer.

6. Writing, “I dare you to print this, you Uncle Toms!” on your letter doesn’t really affect your chances of getting published.

7. We usually don’t consider more than one letter from a writer every 30 days, and we do keep track.

8. We don’t print poetry.

9. Lots of groups ask members to send “campaign letters” to their local newspapers, but we don’t print them. Usually the first one we get on a given subject gets through, but when we see that a campaign is going on, we cut them off. We don’t print form letters, nor “third person” letters, such as “an open letter to the President.”

10. There are three ways to submit letters: • by fax to 312/225-6954; • by e-mail to editorial@ chicagodefender.com; and • by mail to Letters to the Editor, the Chicago Defender, 4445 South King Drive, Chicago, IL 60653.

FINANCE

by Constant W. Watson III Defender Contributing Writer Bankruptcy is probably the most misunderstood tool for resolving a tax problem. You may hear claims that taxes can’t be discharged in bankruptcy, or you may hear that once you go bankrupt, creditors can’t touch you, not even the IRS. Both statements are wrong.

A taxpayer with older income tax debt may find bankruptcy solves all their tax problems and other debt too. A taxpayer who owes current income taxes will find those taxes are not dischargeable.

If you are in a poor financial position, you may be able to get a

Bankruptcy and Taxes fresh start in life through bankruptcy, but in the area of taxation there are three conditions that must be met for taxes to be dischargeable in bankruptcy: 1. To be dischargeable in bankruptcy, taxes must be from a three-year-old tax year. The three years are counted form the due date of the tax return.

2. To be dischargeable in bankruptcy taxes must be related to tax returns that have been filed with the IRS for more than two years preceding the filing of the bankruptcy petition.

3. To be dischargeable in bank-

ruptcy, taxes must have been assessed for at least 240 days preceding the filing of the bankruptcy petition.

Even taxes that must be paid in a bankruptcy can be paid over time and without penalties and interest continuing to be piled on. Further, some penalties and interest that have already been accrued can be eliminated by the bankruptcy Summertime Chi, continued from, Page 07

court.

There are several key questions that need to be considered for Individual bankruptcies as follows: A. Where and when were the tax returns filed?

B. What type of taxes are involved?

C. What were the assessment dates of the tax liabilities?

D. Were the tax liabilities related to any audit adjustments, and if so, were the state taxes amended?

E. Has the IRS filed a Notice of Federal Tax Lien?

If the amount of tax liability is very large and the taxpayer cannot pay in full, the taxpayer has three options to consider. An installment agreement or an offer in compromise are the first two options. The

third option is bankruptcy. It has the added benefit of addressing other liabilities and providing a more complete solution to solving a taxpayer’s financial solution.

However, this may not always be the best options for the taxpayer. It is very important to get complete legal and tax consultation before making a decision. Unfortunately, there is a common misconception, even among some attorneys, that taxes can never be discharged in bankruptcy.

EDUCATION Mary L. Datcher Arts & Entertainment Editor The Goodman Theatre has been a solid stable in the Chicago performance arts community for the past 90 years. Established in 1925 by the Goodman family, it has produced countless theater plays, musical works and educational programs that have become a national model for other reputable theater companies to follow throughout the country.

Considered the best regional theater, earning two Pulitzer Prizes, 22 Tony Awards in the last 30 years — resident artist directors include Chuck Smith, actor Brian Dennehy and Golden Globe actress Regina Taylor.

Last week, Goodman Theatre premiered the Alice Rapoport Center for Education and Engagement — a new addition that expands the theater’s ability to use its practice of art as education in service of positive social change opened last week. The first theater of its kind to a facility expressly dedicated to education and engagement initiatives.

Since 2007, Willa J. Taylor has led the theater programs as Walter Director of Education and Engagement.

“The Goodman has a national reputation, so I’ve known about the Goodman forever. I had known Steve Scott, a producer here and once was the Educational Director from the time I was at Arena Stage in D.C., so we had known each other for over twenty years. Always really admired and frankly honored the Goodman by stealing a lot of their ideas around programming everyplace else I was — both at Arena and at Lincoln Center and at New Victory Theatre. “ Prior to accepting the position at the Goodman, she moved to Chicago but when New Orleans was hit by Hurricane Katrina — Taylor shifted her efforts to help rebuild the city. Coming back, she no longer had a job waiting and found herself reaching out to her friend Steve Scott, then the Goodman Theatre’s Education and Outreach Director.

She said, “I’m looking for something that I could really fell passionate about making a difference in the world. I didn’t know what I wanted to know so I made a list of ten people I knew who knew me well — Steve was one of those people.” He was transitioning into another role and offered

Willa J. Taylor brings a moment of laughter.

Willa J. Taylor: Reaching the Youth Through Arts Taylor his position, which she happily accepted.

Taylor has a depth of experience that is rooted deeply in the performing arts world establishing the Allen Lee Hughes Fellows Program at Arena Stage, creating the Lincoln Center’s The Urban Ensemble along with designing an arts education program for the New Victory Theatre’s inaugural season.

During Goodman’s production run of Carlyle, high school students were invited to attend matinee shows as part of the Goodman’s student subscription series program, which has been in place for 30 years. Directly after the production, audience participants talk directly to the actors and creators of the play — led by Taylor.

“We talked about this notion about how Carlyle has a line earlier in the play of sort of being perceived acting white because he was smart. We talked a lot of what that meant. Whether or not that was still a thing, what it meant in terms of their own education. If they felt like they were getting the quality and the kind of education they should be getting to prepare them to function in the world? We had a fairly intense discussion about what that meant and why they felt they weren’t getting that.”

With the Lorraine Hansberry tribute running until June 5, theatergoers will have a chance to check out one of her critically acclaimed works, The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s Window.

With the Lorraine Hansberry tribute running until June 5, theatergoers will have a chance to check out one of her critically acclaimed works, The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s Window.

“Lorraine Hansberry is a no-brainer.

She was from Chicago, as one of the most famous playwrights from Chicago and certainly one of the most famous African-American women. Her work is not as well-known as it should be. Everybody knows ‘Raisin in the Sun,’ and it’s the play that you read. Certainly in school you read it during Black History Month, but there’s a wealth of her work and a lot of her life that should be explored and used as an example to broaden people’s knowledge about

who she is.”

For Taylor, this was the reason they wanted to look at these events as a celebration of Hansberry’s life while producing The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s Window.

For the past nine years, Taylor and her staff continued their commitment by going into the schools and connecting with various community resources to bring students into the Goodman Theatre programs.

Taylor explained. “Once they decide to come here, how do we give them the kind of experience that makes them know that they belong here but they are part of the family and the fabric of what we do? That is something that I think my staff because we all come from an activist background — that is something we are wholeheartedly invested in,” She said, “We recognize our skills as artists are some of the skills that young people need to just function in the world — not necessarily to go on to become actors.”

This summer, students are invited to participate in a six-week summer program where they work with the youth engaging them on skills from acting, writing and other vital behindthe-scenes roles that give young people another look into a viable career path.

Growing up in the Deep South amid racial disparities and segregation, Taylor feels it’s important to keep family values she’s carried throughout her personal and professional life.

“My Grandmother was a huge influence in my life. Two of things she told me that have really stuck with me.

One, you should always listen more than you talk, and two — you should always be a person of your word. Your integrity is really the thing that matters the most.”

This type of interaction with students is what creates solid exchange of thoughts and ideas to give young people “food for thought,” A model Taylor grew up with in her own upbringing.

“Over the course of the time, you sort of understand and come to identify what your tribe looks like. People that share the same kind of ethical values.

People who see the world in a similar way and people who are working and striving for the same things. You find those people then you try to hold them close and keep them dear,” She said.

ARTS & CULTURE

Wine passion fulfills entrepreneurial dreams Mary L. Datcher Arts & Entertainment Editor

Duane Powell

Duane Powell: Not The Average DJ Mary L. Datcher Arts & Entertainment Editor As the music changes throughout the years and our choices become increasingly slim on mainstream radio formats — the task of working DJs is that they are pressured to comply. Growing up in a city that has painted some serious masterpieces on the musical canvas, music lovers turn to those who can give them alternative choices.

Duane Powell is a breath of fresh air becoming a familiar name among a small set of Soul music DJs. His love for class and indie soul music exceeds well beyond being a nostalgia DJ — he has been responsible for breaking some unheard indie artists from Fertile Ground to Grammy-award winning Ledisi.

Powell entered the arena as a DJ six years ago, becoming a major influence over the years working with House music greats — Lil Louis and DJ Rush and later working on retail and distribution side.

Growing up on the South Side of Chicago, his love for music began in the center of his home.

As a youngster, he remembers buying his first record. “The record I bought with my money in 1980 was TS Monk’s ‘Bon Bon Vie’,” he said. That was just the start of what would grow into an eclectic taste of B-sides and various genres.

“I learned from my uncles and aunts. I had one uncle in particular who was a DJ that I was glued to his leg. He loved funk music.

So, every album cover they would have a big afro, or some big boots or some crazy costumes, even one-hit wonders — he had it all.

I remember seeing Led Zeppelin records and things of that nature.”

First to Get Coveted Record Powell attended Corliss High School, where the music teacher, Mr. Tooley, played an instrumental part of his experience in school.

One of his first entries into the business was joining the promotional team for Lil Louis, a popular House DJ who went on to produce classic international dance hits “French Kiss” and “Club Lonely.” In the mid-1980s Louis had created the Diamond Corporation, which held some of the largest attended House music parties drawing hundreds of high school students from across the city. Duane cut his teeth early on passing out fliers and putting up poster boards.

“I was in the business when I didn’t know

I was in the business. It’s funny how we didn’t think about titles and branding. Technically, when I looked at it, I started doing street promotions in 1985. But at the time, we weren’t being paid but got in to party for free.”

He joined Cargo Distribution in the late 1990s, becoming the company’s international buyer. At Cargo, Powell was responsible for checking out the latest hot imports in acid jazz, funk, soul and dance music on behalf of independent retailers to buy from the company.

Later, he would join Dr. Wax Records in Hyde Park as one of the main buyers.

“When it came down to Dr. Wax, I was the first person in Chicago that had the 4hero record. They sent me the promo before everyone else. I broke the Ledisi and was responsible for booking her first Chicago show at the Buddha Lounge,” he said.

During this time, traditional R&B artists were being pushed back to catalog status as a new wave of soul music was making its way onto the scene through the new term Neo Soul.

“When I started selling music at Dr. Wax on these indie artists, it was something, customers didn’t know had exist. Once they found out about more indie artists, they became really hungry for it. We avoided creating a ‘Neo Soul’ section — I didn’t like the term. It got to the point where we couldn’t get around it because there were people that would come into the store looking for it.”

The new era of the Philadelphia Soul music scene brought attention to The Roots’ hosted open mic series called Black Lilly. It launched major label deals for Jill Scott, Bilal, Jaguar Wright, Jasmine Sullivan and others. “We really didn’t birth an artist during that time here but our loyal consumers were so great to a lot of those artists,” Powell explains. “Chicago was their biggest market.

They would get a gig booked here if they weren’t getting booked nowhere else.”

Currently, he is co-producing a documentary about the independent Soul music scene from the early 1990s up until now. Artists such as N’Dambi, Ledisi and Fertile Ground broke the mold for laying the groundwork for independent artists being recognized.

“It’s not just a check for me. I can’t play music that I don’t like. There have been a lot of times that people will lump DJs into this one thing. I’ve never understood that because I come from a progressive time,” said Powell. “People don’t understand that if you want to build a brand, you do have to cultivate it first.”

Having a dream takes more than just talking about it. It includes having a concrete plan in place, a solid mission and most important, passion.

Although, having the financial resources to bring this all together moves along the process, it takes passion to battle the challenges that most entrepreneurs face when building a business.

The sheer determination and resilience of Chrishon Lampley is what led to creating Love Cork Screw, a wine brand that has taken off within two years of its creation. Lampley, a former gallery and wine bar owner of Chicago’s 3 Peas Galley Café, realized she had a natural ability as an unofficial sommelier.

“We were an art gallery with great wine. In 2010, we won Chicago’s Best Wine List. I’m the one who wrote the wine list — that’s how I knew I was great at this,” she said.

From 2009-2011, Lampley co-owned the intimate South Loop café where they premiered artwork from familiars such as Hebrew Brantley and began to build a list of regular clients seeking advice on wine choices. Unfortunately, a bad flood in 2011 caused 3 Peas Gallery Café to close its doors, pushing Lampley into a cycle of soul searching.

She says some of her customers continued to stay in contact. “They were used to me telling them where to go and what vidals to drink and what to do in the city of Chicago,” At the time, she was in a dark place, feeling the combination of failure, depression the deep funk of having to close a business. Until eventually, she decided to change that energy and started to write a blog—Love Cork Screw.

Soon, the blog had close to 4,000 followers covering an array of hot topics and happenings around Chicago.

“In the ‘love’ section that I would talk about cool things that happened at 3 Peas — being a single woman in the city based on what I would see happen in the gallery. The ‘cork’ section, I would discuss my latest picks on the vidals and places to go. My ‘screw’ section would be pop culture — cool things happening in Chicago and celebrities.”

Creating a Brand Eventually, she was on to something solid, which turned into a radio show.

The show grew to net 7,000 listeners.

The idea to create her own brand of wines and the relationships with wine distributors was a tedious labor of love.

She felt people wanted wine that weren’t experts but appreciated an affordability and quality.

“I’ve worked both in sales and distribution, so why don’t I do this myself?

Why don’t I come out with some wine?

It was my partnerships and relationships that I had with different vineyards. That’s

Chrishon Lampley a hard relationship to get. You can’t just walk into a vineyard and say, ‘I want my own wine.’ It doesn’t work like that.

Through her relationships, Lampley convinced them she could create a great brand, and Love Cork Screw was born.

Today, she works with three different vineyards. The brand sports five different vidals which has a unique label for each one.

Cabernet Sauvignon Blanc, We’re Moving On Up; Pinot Grigio, Good Times; Concorde, Hard Knock Life; Niagara, Touch the Sky; and Riesling, Head Over Heels.

Lampley grew up in the Western suburbs and attended Downers Grove South High School, where often she found herself adjusting to an environment that lacked diversity.

“I grew up in an all-white neighborhood — that is a different story. As a six or seven-year-old, I experienced true racism but developed a thick skin very quickly. She says both parents worked hard and taught her independence early in her childhood, which cultivated a sense of wisdom well beyond her years.

“As I look back, it’s amazing how much more mature I was than the average child. It was a lot of resilience. I had a backbone at a young age.” Upon graduating from high school, she attended Western Illinois University, where she pledged Delta Sigma Theta, Inc. and moved to New York City — eventually moving back home to Chicago.

The wine business is very competitive, and it’s not for the meek-hearted.

Lampley admits it is a challenging industry. “It is hard. Being an African-American woman in this industry — I represent one percent of the entire global industry,” she said.

Passion has been a leading factor in the success of Love Cork Screw with the brand currently being carried in over 50 Chicagoland and suburban locations — including Mariano’s and Whole Foods.

“First and foremost — be taken serious but at the same time you have to put yourself out there. We become a marketing beast on its own. It’s not just me — it’s the essence of the brand. Secondly, I’m that person that said, ‘never give up’.

You keep going, you keep doing what you need to do.’ www.chicagodefender.com

COMMENTARY

By James Clingman NNPA News Wire Columnist

T

here is a crisis of monumental proportion in our so-called “Black communities.” A crisis that if not checked will prove to be our demise. We are bleeding so badly that we are in a comatose state and on life support right now. But we still have a strong heartbeat, so we can be revived by those who have the financial and intellectual talents and the willingness to make the requisite individual sacrifices necessary to restore us to a more healthy state.

A cadre of individuals, not featured in the dominant media, is devoted to leading the charge for economic empowerment among Black people. These brothers and sisters are not afraid. They are not ashamed of being Black. They are not hiding behind organizations and in corporations; they are strong and unwavering in their message of economic empowerment. They are our Emergency Medical Technicians, the first ones on the scene to stop the bleeding and take us to a place where we can be treated and recover from our wounds.

Yes, we are bleeding profusely brothers and sisters, and we must stop the bleeding, not with a Band-Aid but with stitches. Our life-blood—our dollars are flowing out of our neighborhoods. The professionals call this phenomenon “float” or “expenditure leakage,” which translates into what the experts

Blackonomics: The Black Community is Bleeding to Death at the Brookings Institution called a “market opportunity to provide competitively priced goods and services to inner-city consumers.” A 1999 report issued by the Center on Urban and Metropolitan Policy, written by Robert Weissbourd and Christopher Berry, cited some glaring and, quite frankly, embarrassingly stark statistics that portray Black people as nothing more than “economic opportunities” for others.

Please note the report was not casting aspersions on Black folks, rather it was simply pointing out some facts about inner-city neighborhoods and their consumers and suggesting ways that businesses and government entities could better serve the residents as well as their own interests. It stressed investment opportunities with-

“...urban neighborhoods like South Shore in Chicago have more buying power than the wealthiest of suburbs.”

James Clingman

in under-served neighborhoods and was positive in its approach to suggesting ways to effect much needed change.

Nevertheless, my take on this issue conjured up visions of massive hemorrhaging, and it very strongly suggested that we need to stop the bleeding. The report compared one of Chicago’s Southside neighborhoods to the affluent northern neighborhood of Kenilworth. It stated, “...urban neighborhoods like South Shore in Chicago have more buying power than the wealthiest of suburbs. South Shore’s median family income was $22,000 back then; Kenilworth’s was $124,000. But South Shore had $69,000 of retail spending ‘power per acre,’ nearly twice that of Kenilworth’s $38,000.” That means inner city residents, despite their tremendous resources, are virtually bleeding to death. Literally millions of dollars are leaving our neighborhoods, which in turn, also negatively affects our employment opportunities. It continued, “For business, this translates into lost sales, or what marketers call ‘float dollars.’ For inner city residents, these are ‘float jobs,’ as crucial dollars that could employ local residents and fuel the neighborhood economy are spent elsewhere.”

The only thing that has changed during the last sixteen years is our collective annual income, which is much higher. The

problem is that we don’t learn from information like this and use it to improve our situation.

We are bleeding, brothers and sisters, and our blood is Type O, the “universal donor”—everybody benefits from it. We have EMTs ready, willing, and able to apply the tourniquets and even to stitch up our wounds. It’s up to us, however, to access their expertise, to follow their instructions, and to take the prescriptions they write for us. If we are going to stop the bleeding, if we are going to put an end, once and for all, to the preventable loss of life blood – our dollars – from our neighborhoods, we must make the changes being recommended by our true economic leaders.

We must consider our “spending power per acre” as cited in the Brookings Report, just as others are considering it and gaining a stronger economic foothold in the billions Black people earn and spend each year. We must redirect a greater portion of our $1.2 billion aggregate annual income back to ourselves via our own businesses, and we must develop a culture of wealth retention, a culture of collective economic empowerment among our people, regardless of where we reside.

In the book Going Local: Creating Self-Reliant Communities in a Global Age, Michael Shuman wrote: “Being poor doesn’t always mean being without resources. Anacostia is one of the poorest neighborhoods in Washington, D.C., yet the total income of all its households is $370 million per year. The principal affliction of poor communities in the United States is not the absence of money, but its systematic exit.”

So, put the Band-Aids away; we need sutures. Let’s stop the bleeding, Black people. If we fail to do so, our words are merely “Sound and fury, signifying nothing.”

NATIONAL

By Stacy M. Brown NNPA News Wire Contributor In 1976, then-President Gerald Ford delivered the annual “State of the Union Address,” virtually ignoring the plight of African-Americans and Latinos.

That drove Vernon Jordan, then-president of the National Urban League, to commission his own report. Now, 40 years later, the “State of Black America” report is a prominent tool that continues to show just where African-Americans, Latinos and other minorities stand in the United States.

National Urban League President Marc H. Morial said that it’s clear that much needs to be done.

“As we observe the 40th anniversary of the State of Black America, the similarities in the nation in 2016 and that which, then-National Urban League Executive Director Vernon Jordan documented in 1976 are disheartening,” Morial said on Tuesday, May 17, at the Newseum in Washington, D.C., during the unveiling of the 40th annual report.

“Our nation was struggling to overcome the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. Pressure was building to slash social services for the poor, who were demonized and characterized as swindlers. Communities were rocked by hostility and violence triggered by legal challenges to the social status quo,” Morial said.

As with every economic downturn, communities of color bore the brunt of the decline, Morial noted. Black Americans remained nearly twice as likely as Whites to be unemployed and, since 1976, the Black unemployment rate has consistently remained about twice that of the White rate across time, regardless of educational attainment.

“The household income gap remains at about 60 cents for every dollar. Black Americans are only slightly less likely today to live in poverty than they were in 1976,” he said.

On the criminal justice front, Morial said Jordan, who served as president of the National Urban League from 1971 to 1981, noted that Blacks were underrepresented in law enforcement in 1976.

“The City of Chicago is an example: with a population that is 32.7 percent Black, it has a police force www.chicagodefender.com

New Report: Despite Progress, Deep Inequality Plagues Black America that is only 16 percent Black,” he said. “Today, in hundreds of police departments across the nation, the percentage of Whites on the force is more than 30 percentage points higher than in the communities they serve.”

A moving video accompanied Morial’s speech during the event.

It featured Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Freddie Gray, Sandra Bland and others who have lost their lives in police-related incidents.

Morial spoke fervently about how Blacks were once considered by law to be just three-fifths of a human.

“That’s about 60 percent and, if you’re looking for a way to measure how far we’ve come, in 2004 we introduced the equality index and in 2016 that number is 72.2 percent,” he said.

The report’s bottom line is that African-Americans and Latinos continue to fall way behind Whites in key economic areas, including household income and unemployment rates.

The State of Black America examined economic data for 70 metro areas for Blacks and 73 for Hispanics and found that there were no regions in the United States where Blacks were more likely to

“The household income gap remains at about 60 cents for every dollar.

Black Americans are only slightly less likely today to live in poverty than they were in 1976” be employed or make more money than Whites.

Like Blacks, Hispanics in all regions were consistently paid less than Whites though, on average, the gaps between White household income and Hispanic household income were smaller than those between Whites and Blacks, the report found.

“This is the remaining issue of civil rights and economic justice in America,” Morial said.

“This economic gap between

Blacks and Whites, which is a component of the gap between rich and poor and working class people in America is a continuing problem.”

In 2015, nationally 6.6 percent of Hispanics and 9.6 percent of Blacks were unemployed compared with 4.6 percent of Whites.

The report revealed that African-Americans are doing about the same as they have in previous years as the nation rises out of the Great Recession, which still is surprisingly better than they did when the first State of Black America report was released in 1976.

The National Urban League’s equality index is based on collected data from federal agencies including the Census Bureau, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the National Center for Education Statistics, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

With full equality with Whites in economics, health, education, social justice and civic engagement set at 100 percent, the National Urban League said this year’s equality index for Blacks stands at 72.2 percent, compared with last year’s 72 percent.

For Hispanics, it’s 77.8 percent compared to last year’s rate of 77.3 percent.

Since 1976, fewer Blacks live in poverty – 29 percent in 1976 compared with 27 percent now.

More Blacks have graduated high school and college – 28 percent in 1976 and 33 percent today for high school, and 6 percent four decades ago versus 22 percent today for college.

Life expectancy of African-Americans has increased from 68 in 1976 to 75 today.

Homeownership and voting, however, continue to be major obstacles with 43 percent of African-Americans owning a home compared to the 43.7 percent that owned homes in 1976.

Voting is down considerably as 48.7 percent of African-Americans cast ballots in 1976 compared with just 39.7 percent today.

For the second year in a row, California’s Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario metroplex is the best for Blacks when it comes to income equality compared to Whites.

An African-American worker makes 76 cents to every dollar a White worker makes in those cities, the highest ratio in the nation.

For Latinos, Honolulu is the most promising for income equality: Hispanics make 80 cents for every dollar made by Whites.

Washington, D.C., and its suburbs are where Blacks, Whites and Hispanics have the highest median household income.

Whites make $109,460, Hispanics make $66,523, and Blacks make $66,151.

The cities with the lowest Black unemployment rate are Oklahoma City and San Antonio at 8.3 percent. The city with the lowest Hispanic unemployment rate is Tulsa, Oklahoma, with a 4.6 unemployment rate.

Morial has put out the call for a major commitment from the government to rebuild the nation’s urban communities called the “Main Street Marshall Plan.”

He’s seeking $1 trillion over the next five years committed to several programs including universal early childhood education, homeownership strategies, high-speed broadband and technology, and a $15 per hour federal living wage indexed to inflation.

“While education is crucial, education alone is not going to solve the economic gaps in the country,” Morial said.

Jazz musician Noble Johnson and aspiring writer Lillian Stride marry, head North to begin a striver’s life and bear witness to the opportunities and disappointments borne of this new freedom. The push and shove of city living, airless apartments, hot pavements, and ‘mindful’ segregation shape a new experience southern Blacks find vaguely reminisce of the South. July 1919, a Black boy accidently swims into the White area of the beach; Whites stone him and he drowns. A riot erupts on the streets of Chicago with tragic ramifications for Noble and Lillian.

Real Men Cook’s 2016 Father’s Day Celebration expands to 27 to Forward mission

T

his year, Chicago’s premiere urban Father’s Day charity event, Real Men Cook, will push the envelope by holding the much-anticipated event at 27 venues in Chicagoland. Individual celebrations will be hosted by agencies and entities committed to the mission of Real Men. Partners will maintain the Father’s Day tradition implemented by Real Men Cook.

All events will be held on Father’s Day, June 19, from 3 - 6 p.m.

Real Men Cook is the largest, longest-running and most-anticipated Father’s Day celebration of its kind. It provides a platform where “real men” from all walks of life are honored for demonstrating extraordinary commitment to their families and to their communities.

In keeping with Real Men Cook’s core mission, each venue will award men for the contributions they have made in their communities.

Co-founders Yvette and Kofi Moyo with Rael Jackson, president, expressed excitement and enthusiasm, as did those host partners who were present when they made the announcement at the South Side Community Art Center during a press conference.

Moyo spoke of the new format as allowing the Real Men Cook experience, its message and a more expansive community reach as it magnifies the Father’s Day tradition of family and community food-fests.

Jackson said, “We continue the legacy of shining a spotlight on the men and promote awareness of fathers who serve their families on a daily basis.” He also expressed Real Men Cook as an important platform used as a powerful tool that brings families together while strengthening the community. Jackson added, “We are also reaching out to the homeless this year.”

To help get the word out for a successful 2016 celebration, an aggressive social media campaign, including on Facebook and Twitter with the hashtag #realmencook is in place.

Starting out early Julian Valentine, who grew up with Real Men Cook, began attending at age 12. He said he was “inspired by the experience,the founders, so much that I became a chef.” He is now a sous chef at Nordstrom’s Café. At the press conference, he served samples of his dishes, including a kale salad, which has been a highlight in the

A participant at Real Men Cook organization’s healthy mission and has been featured at every Real Men Cook event since 1999.

Among the Chicago communities where the celebrations will be held are Englewood, Chatham, South Shore, Hyde Park, Lawndale, Bronzeville, Auburn Gresham and Park Manor and more, as well as South Suburban cities.

The events will continue Real Men Charities’, Inc. tradition of promoting health and wellness, prevention and awareness for families and children. Accordingly, each locale will serve healthy foods and broadcast the message that food is medicine. Activities for children, also a Real Men Cook tradition, will continue.

Some of the partners at the conference who are among the 27 hosts were Demetrious Walker of Fathers & Blessings; Minister Jeffrey Muhammad of Mosque Maryam; Jerald Gary, Chairman of the Chicago Regal Foundation, operator of the Avalon Regal Theater and David Peterson Jr. President, National A Philip Randolph Pullman Porter Museum, will also host the event at their respective venues.

Jackson believes the newly revamped event represents the beginning of a broader Movement. “Life is about change,” he declared, “and localizing and expanding the event’s reach is a way of keeping the healthy families, good men Movement vibrant.”

High-profile men, who have donned a chef’s hat and participated in the past, range from 1985 Bears Super Bowl linebacker, Otis Wilson to President Barack Obama during his senator days. Father and sons Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr., former Congressman Jesse Jackson, Jr. and Professor Jonathan Jackson have also joined in past celebrations.

RECIPE

Black America Donna Battle Pierce Syndicated Columnist, (Black Press Syndicate) Long before California-based Debbi Fields filled America’s malls with Mrs. Fields Chocolate Chippery locations, I dreamed of over-sized rounds filled with softened chocolate chips. But the answer was always no when, as a young girl, I begged my mother to let me add bigger mounds of dough to the cookie sheets I used to bake goodies for family and friends.

Freda Deknight offered this much more delicate version of chocolate chip cookies in her Date With a Dish cookbook published in 1948, less than two decades after Ruth Wakefield is reputed to have invented chocolate chip cookies after replacing baking chocolate with broken Nestle chocolate pieces for the cookies she baked for guests in her Toll House Inn. Last week, cooking from Deknight’s A Date With A Dish, I substituted oatmeal for the chopped walnuts she used to bake the tiny cookies for my Millennial guest with a nut allergy, “They’re delicious and the perfect size for people watching what they eat,” my young guest said. Later, when I shared the chocolate chip cookie timeline, she said she never thought of chocolate chip cookies as something that had to be invented.

Freda’s Chocolate Chip Cookies

©2015 Donna Battle Pierce

1 1/2 cups flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1 cup vegetable shortening 3/4 cup brown sugar 1 egg 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips 1/2 cup uncooked old-fashioned oatmeal

Donna Pierce is a 2015 recipient of a Harvard Nieman Foundation Visiting Fellowship who is currently working on a cookbook 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.

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Sift the flour, salt and baking soda together. Set aside. Cream the shortening and sugar with a mixer on medium speed. Add egg and vanilla, beating until creamy. Add the sifted dry ingredients, chocolate chips and oatmeal. Drop from teaspoon on to greased cookie sheets. Bake until just beginning to brown around the edges, about 18 to 20 minutes. Makes about 40 cookies.

“For me, they’ve always been here,” she said adding, “Now I know they change with each generation.”

Her bite on a second small cookie seemed to inspire a new thought. “Just think, if they had been invented today, instead of Toll House cookies, we could call them AirBandB Bites.”
