Joyce Edwards is being driven from her Englewood home so a new rail yard can be built. (The Chicago Reporter photo)

By LaRisa Lynch This article was first published in The Chicago Reporter.

Joyce Edwards’ family was forced to move from their Wells Street home to make way for the construction of the Dan Ryan Expressway in the late 1950s. Edwards now will have to leave her home in Chicago’s Englewood neighborhood to make way for another infrastructure project — this time, a rail yard expansion.

Norfolk Southern is using its eminent domain power to take Edwards’ and others’ homes in this predominantly African-American community on the city’s South Side. Most of her neighbors were bought out by the railroad over the last few years. Edwards, who has lived in her home for 52 years, is among the last holdouts against the $285 million rail yard expansion.

The Virginia-based company has filed condemnation proceedings against her and two other residents, claiming the project is needed to alleviate the city’s notorious freight rail congestion. Norfolk Southern has already purchased and razed dozens of homes in a 20-block area to expand its 200-acre freight yard from 47th Street past Garfield Boulevard to 61st Street. It needs Edwards’ home to do that.

Eminent domain is typically associated with government entities, not private companies such as railroads. But under state laws, railroads and utility companies can

invoke the authority for projects deemed for public use. In 2005, the U.S. Supreme Court expanded the scope of public use.

In Kelo v. City of New London (Connecticut), the court allowed governments to condemn property and give it to a private party for economic development. Critics say the ruling allows government power to be leveraged for private gain and could hurt the redevelopment of communities of color, which often are seized and razed under the blight provisions of eminent domain.

In Englewood, the definition of public use — that is, who benefits from the rail yard expansion — is at the center of the railroad fight.

Norfolk Southern hasn’t proved that expansion of the rail yard will alleviate freight train congestion, said Steven S. Rogers, who, like Edwards, is fighting the Fortune 500 firm in court.

“What they are doing is not for public use and public benefit,” he said. “If you are laying some railroad tracks, putting in a highway, I would just have to abide by the realities of the law. But this ain’t that.”

Susan Terpay, a spokesperson for Norfolk Southern, would not discuss the case because it is in court, but she said Chicago’s rail bottleneck has been widely reported in the media.

Chicago is the nation’s largest rail center; six of the seven biggest rail carriers cut through the region, including Norfolk Southern. And the city’s working class and communities of color such as En-

glewood are close to the tracks and rail yards; residents coexist with the diesel fumes and train noise so they can have an affordable place to live.

Looking from her front porch at the barren lots where friends and neighbors once lived, Edwards knows the inevitable is near. But she is fighting for the railroad to do more than buy her existing home; she wants it to buy outright a new home of her choosing so she won’t have a mortgage. Her parents didn’t have that option when they were forced to move because of the Dan Ryan Expressway.

Edwards’ parents were compensated for the loss of their home, but it wasn’t enough to sustain their new house. The family became homeless, sleeping in the car or living as squatters in an apartment basement when an uncle could sneak them into the building. The ordeal devastated a then-9-year-old Edwards.

“I don’t want them to be like I was, homeless sleeping around in cars and basements,” she said of her children, one of whom has cerebral palsy. “That is what’s important, that I be fairly compensated.”

of dense urban areas,” Somin said, “and therefore tend to happen in places where they don’t have large minority populations.”

Many of Chicago’s working-class neighborhoods formed in the shadow of steel, manufacturing and other industries, which were served by trains. The Stockyards — the meatpacking district on the South Side — is a familiar example. Ethnic whites lived nearby to be close to jobs. As Blacks migrated to the North and sought manufacturing work, whites left some of the areas and were replaced by African-Americans.

“Traditionally, those structures — whether it’s tracks, whether it’s yards, whether it’s aboveground or on the ground — have been ways to demarcate where people live in the city . . . where racial segregation is still quite deep,” said Joy Bivins, a curator with the Chicago History Museum. “Knowing where those things are became a way to mark where people live.”

Areas like Englewood have also lost population over time — and that could affect where companies choose to expand.

Bivins said companies are not going into neighborhoods where they have to “clear out everybody.”

“The amount of people that once were there is not the same,” said Bivins, who grew up in West Englewood. “You can drive along certain blocks and many of the homes are abandoned for a variety of reasons. It could be several blocks where it is not a full block of people.”

Rogers questions whether Norfolk www.chicagodefender.com

Southern followed a legal process to expand its rail yard, as well as how the company went about acquiring property.

The railroad, he said, was not upfront about its intentions until elected officials urged Norfolk to hold a public meeting.

The company began approaching residents individually to buy their homes in 2011, he said.

“Up to that point they weren’t telling anybody what they were doing,” said Rogers, who was first approached by a representative of the railroad about purchasing his grandparents’ home in 2012. His grandparents bought the house in 1952 and were the first Blacks on the block.

Concerned, residents formed the Englewood Railway Coalition to represent homeowners’ interest. Rogers, a business professor at Harvard University, was selected as its president.

City Hall boosted Norfolk’s land acquisition when it sold 105 vacant lots — totaling about 11 acres — to the rail company for $1.1 million in April 2013. City Council had to approve the land sale, but it did not have to approve Norfolk Southern’s expansion plans.

To date, the owners of about 500 private parcels in the path of expansion have voluntarily sold their properties directly to the railroad, according to the city’s department of planning officials. Rogers said Norfolk capitalized on a depressed housing market to buy the property while playing on residents’ fears about losing their homes to eminent domain for nothing in return.

Compensation to homeowners ran

the gamut, Rogers said, from $30,000$40,000 to $150,000-$425,000. Eventually the coalition dwindled to five from 39 members. (Edwards is not a part of the coalition.)

“A lot of people did pretty well, and justifiably so. These are people, when we first started, swore they will never sell and they were going to stick with it,” Rogers said.

“But they got offers they couldn’t refuse, eventually.”

Dane Tucker lives in the house his father purchased nearly 60 years ago at 66th Street and Parnell Avenue. And while his block is not affected by the rail yard expansion, Tucker has seen entire blocks cleared of structures by Norfolk.

“They were literally tearing down three and four houses on the block. Once you do that, people got scared, especially the seniors [who thought] they were going to be living in isolation,” said Tucker, a retired firefighter. “They put the fear of God in people that they weren’t going to be able to get anything for those houses.”

Property-rights Reforms Still Fall Short As unpopular as the Kelo decision is, it resulted in a greater awareness about the abusive power of eminent domain, as well as a slew of property-rights reforms. About 40 states revamped eminent domain laws to provide greater protections for private property owners.

While these reforms are a step in the right direction, legal experts contend some did not go far enough. Illinois and many other states still allow private property to be taken if it has been designated as

blighted.

Florida and Ohio have taken a different approach, according to Robert McNamara, senior attorney for the Institute for Justice, which brought the Kelo case to court.

Florida amended its constitution to make Kelo-style takings impossible and cracked down on blight seizures, McNamara said, adding, “Eminent domain in Florida was ended by the state legislature.”

The Ohio State Supreme Court banned using broad blight designations such as cracked sidewalks to grant private condemnation. The court’s ruling gave greater property protections to citizens then the federal law, McNamara said.

Illinois’ attempt to curtail eminent domain use was a mixed bag. A 2005 bill that required public takings only for a “qualified public use” died in a House committee. A year later, the state’s eminent domain law was amended to require a written agreement between the condemning authority and the private developer to develop a blighted area.

The legislative fights over eminent domain have no impact on Edwards’ situation.

She wanted to pass on her family home to her children. That won’t happen now. And even if she could stay, she would have to consider her children’s health. Train fumes exacerbate one son’s asthma. The house has become a prison for her other son, who has cerebral palsy. His wheelchair cannot navigate the cracked sidewalks, caused by the demolition of houses.

“I don’t consider this a neighborhood now,” Edwards said. “It is too empty, too sad.”

COMMUNITY

WE Day Illinois: Motivating the Masses

By Mary L. Datcher Senior Staff Writer Last week, nearly 15,000 Illinois youth attended the annual WE Day Illinois festivities at Allstate Arena.

Sponsored by The Allstate Foundation and organized in part by WE co-founders Craig and Marc Kielburger, the event celebrates the power of young people solving pressing social issues.

With an early morning start, thousands of young adults crowded into the arena listening to speakers and performers, who included a non-stop line-up of celebrities and everyday citizens doing charitable work in their communities.

Hosted by Shay Mitchell, participants such as Allstate Chairman and CEO Tom Wilson, Chicago Public Schools Chief Education Officer Janice Jackson, Xzibit, Andra Day, Celebrity Marauders, Rhymefest, LaRoyce Hawkins (Chicago P.D.), Stedman Graham, former U.S. Department of Education Secretary Arne Duncan, Dante Brown (Lethal Weapon) among others graced the stage.

Actor Dante Brown, a Chicago native who currently resides in Los Angeles, felt it was important to attend and address the serious genocide of violence occurring in urban neighborhoods. Coming back home to address WE Day’s youth attendance was very important to him.

“It brings joy to what I’m doing because it makes me feel like I’m doing something I like. I’m helping other people that I see who may not be going in the right direction,” he said. “Chicago doesn’t have to be so violent. They’re calling it Chi-raq for a reason. It was worse than Iraq with the kill-

ings. It makes me feel better to know I’m doing right to help other people.”

Brown has worked in the film industry since he was 4 and has resided in L.A. since he was 6, but his family base is still in Chicago.

He says, “For WE to bring me on stage means the world to me. Some people think because I went to California, they feel I’m not from here. I will always be from here.

I come here every chance I get because I love this city so much. To see my people hurt so much,” he pauses. “I miss it so much when I’m out there in Los Angeles.”

WE is not an ordinary organization. It has outreach around the world, bringing people together — giving them tools to change the world. One of the unique ways they bring awareness to youth is through the classroom. Educators and students are encouraged to participate throughout the year in selecting ways to touch other people’s lives.

Other Campaigns Local campaigns include “WE Scare Hunger,” a program that joins people together to collect cans of food in support of local food banks. It works along with “WE Won’t Rest,” raising awareness about homelessness and connecting with local shelters in communities, in addition to ”WE Are Love,” which encourages students to make handwritten cards for everyone in their school — to show appreciation for people who get overlooked in their community. Other campaigns include “WE Volunteer,” “WE Are One,” ”WE Create Change,” “WE Are Rafikis,” “WE Are Silent” and “WE Step Up.” Craig Kielburger, co-founder of WE, says, “WE Day Illinois unites and celebrates thousands of young leaders who

DeVry Advantage Academy student Daisy Garcia feels this experience has prepared her for a lifetime of staying involved with giving back to the community.

“WE Day is special to me. It got me involved and got me out of my shell. It helped me to get out of my ‘shy’ self that I was and to do something with the ideas that I had.”

As a senior, Garcia will earn her associate’s degree when she graduates and plans to attend college, moving on to acquire her law degree.

“I work at a day care center part-time, and having these little kids there every day knowing they are getting an education.

There are many others who are unable to have that access. I want to do something about that.” She said that WE has motivated her, and she hopes it can inspire other students to do the same.

“Coming here, they can see that they can make a difference. They have a voice,

that’s the reason. I was that kid out there and I was inspired. Anybody else can.”

The program highlighted 9-year-old Jahkil Jackson, founder of Project I Am. His organization donates “Blessing Bags” filled with everyday essentials to homeless shelters in Chicago. As he stood on stage with hip hop artist and actor Xzibit (Empire), Jackson explained his compassion for helping those less fortunate.

“My inspiration comes from people on the street. I choose to make the Blessing Bags. Every time I would see homeless people come up to a car. It made me sad to see they didn’t have the same things that other people had.”

He has given out over 1,600 Blessing Bags in the past year, and his goal is to make and give away 5,000 bags every year.

As he addresses the packed arena of his peers, he emphasizes. “It’s very important to give back so that I can show that homeless people are also people too.”

His advice for other kids in their communities, “For them to find their passion, now — today.” www.chicagodefender.com

POLITICS

Economics and Politics of Race

By Julianne Malveaux NNPA Newswire Columnist The unfortunate election of Donald J. Trump to the presidency of the United States speaks volumes about the limits of African-American involvement in the political system. Don’t get me wrong. I was born and will live and die a political junkie, obsessed with the minutiae of politics.

Actually, I’m a recovering politician, having run for office, gotten my butt beaten, and flirted with the possibility of doing it again for years. Politics is about making the rules of distribution, of deciding how laws determine who gets what, when, where and why. Politics, importantly, ensure that those who make the rules are favorably disposed toward justice and fairness. Politics allow resistance when those elected don’t follow the lead of their constituents.

Economics and politics are closely aligned. Economics also determine who gets what, when, where and why. “Socalled” free markets determine the flows of economic distribution, but politics often regulate the way that these “so-called” free markets work. I say that these markets are “so-called” free, because we know that politicians distort markets to their liking. During a recession, for example, politicians agree that bankers need a tight rein on them that they can’t simply exploit for the purpose of earning predatory profits.

After a recession, some politicians might loosen the rein on bankers and decide to let predatory markets flow free.

African-Americans have righteously focused on politics and the political system, especially during the early days of the Civil Rights Movement, when the fight for the right to vote was a priority. People like Fan-

Julianne Malveaux nie Lou Hamer were beaten within inches of their lives because they were determined to vote. Medgar Evers was killed because he was organizing voters. We had a focus on laws. Dr. Martin Luther King once said, “The law will not make you love me, but it will keep you from lynching me.” And so we focus on the laws and on politics.

The Trump election reminds us of the limitations of politics, and the need to focus on the economic aspects of our lives.

Political involvement is necessary, but not sufficient for Black progress. Every single economic indicator shows African-American people lagging. Not much has changed since 1967, when Dr. King said, “Of the good things in life, the Negro has approximately one half those of whites. Of the bad things of life, he has twice those of whites. Thus, half of all Negroes live in substandard housing. And Negroes have half the income of whites. When we view the negative experiences of life, the Negro has a double share. There are twice as many

unemployed. The rate of infant mortality among Negroes is double that of whites, and there are twice as many Negroes dying in Vietnam as whites in proportion to their size in the population.” The numbers have changed some, but the bottom line is that African-Americans are not full equal participants in our economy.

How do we fix that? How do African-Americans flex our full economic muscles? How do we reward those corporations that support equality, and punish, through selective buying and boycotts, those who oppose freedom and equal opportunity? How do we stomp with the big dogs like the Koch brothers, who buy politicians with the same ease that some of us buy potato chips? Do we even stand a chance?

Profiting From Poverty I think that we have to spend as much time and place as much emphasis on economics as on politics. I think we have to be

clear that poverty is a profit opportunity for some corporations. Attorney General Jeff Sessions has already reversed the Obama executive order that would stop the use of private prisons for federal incarceration.

But these private prisons are machines of predatory capitalism, and now that Sessions has approved their use, their stocks are soaring. So we have to ask ourselves if our pension funds, mutual funds, or other financial instruments invest in corporations like Corecivic (formerly Corrections Corporation of America, $CXW) and the Geo Group ($GEO). Can we push our investors to withdraw investment from these funds? Or will we be willing, in the name of predatory capitalism, to profit from this chicanery?

Similarly, from Ava DuVernay’s film 13th, we are reminded of the others who profit from the prison industrial complex, including those who provide meals (Aramark is one of those companies) and phone calls. How much discomfort do they impose on our incarcerated brothers and sisters to make a profit?

Politicians make rules, but money talks when the nonsense walks. We need to spend as much time focusing on economics as on politics. We need to follow the money when we see oppression. And we need to be clear that the clearest path to Black liberation is that path that focuses on economics.

CULTURE

Jay Ellis: Not All That ‘Insecure’

By Mary L. Datcher Defender Arts & Entertainment Editor Since HBO’s premiere of Issa Rae’s network series Insecure hit the airwaves, the breakout hit has catapulted the show’s stars to another level. Co-star Jay Ellis, who plays the character Lawrence, the clingy boyfriend who procrastinates at times on Insecure, has become one of Hollywood’s rising actors.

Growing up as an army brat, Ellis traveled around the country with his military family — where his father spent several years of service in the Air Force. Having graduated from Concordia University in Portland, Oregon, summa cum laude, there he also played basketball, soon after joining the Portland Trail Blazers as an intern.

His love and passion for acting encouraged him to relocate to Los Angeles where he began auditioning and landing roles in television series — The Game, Grace and Frankie, Masters of Sex, and others, becoming a familiar face.

On his recent visit to Chicago for Macy’s Black History Month program, the 29-yearold actor had an opportunity to connect with fans on discussing his work as an actor and celebrating African-American history and culture. The Chicago Defender shared an candid conversation on his professional and personal journey.

How did you land the role of Lawrence on Insecure?

A buddy of mine, Clarence, who’s in development, sent me the script. He emailed me and asked if I had read the script and I said, “No what is it?” He said, it’s Issa’s new pilot, HBO just bought it. I asked him to send it to me and I read it literally that night. The next day, I sent an email out to my agent, attorney and manager and asked if we could get on the phone. I told them I read this script called Insecure and I needed to be a part of this — how can we do it?

It was super early at the time and they ended up not casting for another six months. I went through pilot season for a bunch of stuff that wasn’t “me.” It was around this time where “Empire” was this massive hit and “HTGWF” was a hit and they were all in their freshman year. So, some of these shows that were coming out that year, networks were just throwing Black people wherever they could just to make it possibly seen. They were reactionary — and following whatever worked.

all of us have our moments of weakness, self-doubt, fear and strength, conviction and pride.

We’re human at the end of the day and we all run on that. What Issa and our writers, Prentice Penny who’s our show runner, and Melina Matsoukas, our director, captures the visibility. They’ve found a way to tell those stories and visually capture it as well by the type of camera or type of shot — sometimes things are a little off for all of us. We need to recognize that because it makes us stronger.

You’re been involved in Macy’s Black History Month program.

Why is it so important for people to know about our history, not only from an academic standpoint but from a social standpoint?

The little things you find out along the way, for example I didn’t know that a Black man invented the internet. Are we making sure that our younger generations are hearing these stories? We need to make sure that we hear them ourselves because sometimes we get downtrodden and we get beat up. We don’t necessarily see what we’ve done or how proud we should be of ourselves and of our brothers and sisters who are standing next to us or before us — those who have paved the way. If you’re not familiar with Black history and you don’t know who these people are and you only know Black pop culture — hip hop for example — that’s not enough.

We’re not just one or the other — we are everything in between. It’s an education for ourselves, but for other people.

Who influenced you coming up as an actor?

What are the steps that you take to influence those who are coming up behind you?

My influences range from Sidney Poitier and Harry Belafonte to Denzel Washington, Morgan Freeman and Jamie Foxx, whose career paths have been amazing.

I also feel the work that Viola Davis has been doing in the last 10 years is breathtaking — it’s amazing and inspirational.

She can crush it, doesn’t matter what size the screen is, she is giving it her all, and the same thing for Kerry Washington. They give their all — ALL THE TIME. I’m also insanely inspired by Issa Rae. I look at what she does, still running her business on the digital side and creating opportunity in television with this show. Showing up as an actress, producer, director, an editor and picking music. I’m insanely inspired.

I’m like “oh, s---.” I don’t think I could do that! That is what helps me to continue to move forward. Anytime I get to talk to people who are interested in pursuing a career or whatever it is, to do it with a sense of integrity and passion for what you do, I think is what I’ve learned from these people.

I was reading a lot of stuff I couldn’t connect with and I knew what I wanted. I knew that the character that I wanted to be would have some authenticity to it, but would cover something that was real to me and to people I knew — whether it was friends or family. That was the Insecure script that I read. A few months later, I went in for the audition, a month after that they tested me. I booked it that day and then we went into a pilot.

Parents should reinforce the fact that their learning disability does not define them.

Both my sons had learning differences. My oldest was a very good orator and a lover of words. My youngest, who was highly creative, knew he was a “creator.” Though he had an IEP, he still ended up taking AP classes in his junior year because the expectation was set by me to him and his

teachers.

What are some of the pitfalls that new parents fall into during the early years of elementary school?

Thinking that the school is responsible for their child’s education, therefore they don’t have to get involved.

Wrong. In fact, the parent is the child’s first teacher. How they prepare their child before they enter school determines what the child will get out of it when they enter it. Many parents don’t realize this. Also, reinforcing good study habits early is important as well.

If you allow your kids to watch TV or play video games, and don’t check their homework, I guarantee that child will struggle.

I’ll admit, homework was a challenge in my household because my husband and I would get frustrated with the kids. We didn’t understand their learning challenges and how to deal with them. My oldest wanted me next to him, but I wanted him to work independently. That led to many arguments. It affected his work habits later on. I wish I was more patient. You must check their homework daily – even if you don’t know how to do it. Following a consistent bedtime regimen helps. Nine

What would you say to the single parent who needs to be present in his/her child’s school life, but the person doesn’t have a support system and works multiple jobs to make ends meet?

Parents can let the teachers know their situation via a letter. Introduce themselves and child; the child’s personality, learning habits; likes dislikes, etc.

My community was very blessed to have an organization called “African American Parents for Purposeful Leadership in Education” (A.P.P.L.E.) in most of the district schools. I was an A.P.P.L.E. adviser and parent/child advocate at the high school, and I headed the middle school chapter as a volunteer president. I mentored parents and students alike and set up a successful tutoring and mentoring program in the school. We were a fantastic support system.

Faith and spirituality are intertwined in this book. How has your faith enabled you to be a better parent? Do you have any stories you can share?

God is the glue that held my family together. I wasn’t raised in the church. My mother was a spiritual person, but wasn’t into institutionalized religion.

But she encouraged me to explore that spiritual side of me. So I did a lot of church hopping — Baptist, African Methodist, Pentecostal, Lutheran, Catholic. I became an agnostic and dang near an atheist at one point. But the spirit of Christ was embedded in me. It took full bloom when I became pregnant. The process of carrying a child inside of me was miraculous! I couldn’t believe God chose me to experience this event. I didn’t think I would ever become a mom. I felt like God crowned me with a noble mission, and I didn’t want to let Him down. When I lost my Mom, I decided to give my life officially to Christ. I got Baptized at Apostolic Church of God. I was loved and accepted as a single mom.

No judgments. I vowed to raise my son up in the way that he should go, so when he grew up, he would not depart from it. My husband, a Baptist, soon joined me. We made it our business to raise our kids in a spiritual atmosphere with families who had like minds and goals. It’s so important to surround yourself around positive people. In my book, I suggest you “raise them to praise Him.” According to an Early

By AJ Williams Defender Contributing Writer Over the last 11 years, “Jazz in the Gardens” has evolved into more than just a weekend music concert to a music festival experience including the FMAC conference, national poetry contest and more. It is also the undeniable “travel destination for the spring.” Event-goers find themselves entrenched in the vibrant beats, musical stylings that vibrate from the stage complemented by scenic beaches, plentiful shopping, incredible golf courses, 5-star restaurants, and many other inviting attractions that make South Florida a “must-visit” destination.

Through the years, the event has brought world-renowned artists Usher, Janelle Monae and Maxwell, just to name a few. In its 12th year, according to Miami Gardens Mayor Oliver Gilbert, “There is the need to evolve by opening the Jazz in the Gardens stage more and more to artists from different genres and generations, all influenced by jazz music.”

LL Cool J This year’s Jazz in the Gardens lineup promises concert-goers another year of unmatched entertainment with Grammy-winning headliners.

The two-day festival starts with Saturday’s line-up of Will Downing, Robin Thicke and Jill Scott, while Sunday continues with Common, The Roots and LL Cool J featuring DJ Z-Trip.

Hosted by Rickey Smiley, entertainment will also include a host of other national and local artists. To view the complete 2-day line-up, for more information or to purchase tickets, visit www.JazzInTheGardens.com.

such as student loans.

Taxpayers who are missing Forms W-2, 1098, 1099 or 5498 for prior years should ask for copies from employers, banks, or other payers. The three-year window also usually applies to a refund from an amended return. In general, you must file Form 1040X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, within three years from the date you filed your original tax return.

You can also file it within two years from the date you paid the tax, if that date is later than the three-year rule. That means the deadline for most people to amend their 2013 tax return and claim a refund will expire on April 18. Remember, for every tax problem there is a solution.

Defender Contributing Writer Taxpayers who did not file a tax return for 2013 may be one of the nearly 1 million who may be due a refund from that year.

Taxpayers must claim their part of almost $1 billion by this year’s April 18 tax deadline. To claim a refund, taxpayers must file a 2013 federal income tax return. There are several facts about unclaimed refunds that you should be aware of before you file.

The unclaimed refunds apply to people who did not file a federal income tax return for 2013. The IRS estimates that half the potential refunds are more than $763.

Some people, such as students and parttime workers, may not have filed because they had too little income to require them to file a tax return. They may have a refund waiting if they had taxes withheld from their wages or made quarterly estimated payments.

A refund could also apply if they qualify for certain tax credits, such as the Earned Income Tax Credit. The law generally provides a three-year window to claim a tax refund. For 2013 returns, the window closes on April 18. The law requires that

After three years, unclaimed refunds become property of the U.S. Treasury. taxpayers properly address, mail and postmark their tax returns by April 18 to claim their refund. After three years, unclaimed refunds become property of the U.S. Treasury.

There is no penalty for filing a late return if taxpayers are due a refund. However, you

could forfeit your refund by not filing timely. The IRS may hold 2013 refunds if taxpayers have not filed tax returns for 2014 and 2015. The U.S. Treasury will apply the refund to any federal or state tax owed.

Refunds may also be held to offset unpaid child support or past due federal debts

Solow: A New Take on Life, Fatherhood & Music

By Mary L. Datcher Defender Arts & Entertainment Editor Chicago has its fair share of musicians and various forms of music for everyone to enjoy. For thousands of commuters who take public transportation, they become familiar with the world of street performers who transform their platform into a makeshift stage.

For the past five years, South Side native Solow has carved out a niche for himself on Chicago’s Red Line subway platform in the downtown loop district. His presence and powerful lyrics have attracted several video clips to be uploaded on YouTube for both journalists and regular daily commuters to capture on film.

Since 2011, Larry Newberry’s clip of Solow has captured viewers’ interest, as well as Ralph Braseth’s upload in 2013. But it wasn’t until a year later, when indie rap artist Cordell “Co-Still” Hunter came across him performing — sharing his performance on social media — sparking a viral avalanche of views.

He didn’t find out about it until later. “The weird part about it all is when I got home, my sister said to me, ‘Your video is all over Facebook.’ She said, ‘The dude said you’re homeless.’ I talked to him and I know his producer and his circle, so I was a little upset about it,” said Solow.

Not homeless, he’s gradually worked on local projects in the recording studio with producers on features and mixtapes. He said he didn’t see a problem performing in the subways because so many others he’s admired went that similar route.

“I looked up to R. Kelly because he used to perform in the subway.

The other cats like 3 Piece. There was a group called Subway and they were all down there and they made their way, and I figured maybe I could do the same way.”

Solow Since, the post by Co-Still — a notable rap artist, himself — the ”homeless” man video has received over 410,000 views on YouTube with countless interviews and a new spotlight on him. He soon signed with a Chicago record label, releasing a new album project Started From the Bottom.

Promoted as the “homeless” rapper, he’s freestyled on BET’s Cypher and has released a couple of music videos during his bout of fame.

Nearly three years later, a lot has changed for the ex-offender who says that before he found his passion for music, he followed the ills of the street.

“As a youngster, my mother gave me up for adoption. She was a foster child, by the time I was 2 years old, her foster mom persuaded her to get me out of the foster home. When I was eight, we ended up separated, so me and my little brother grew up in the same foster home,” he said. “Her

12 March 08 - 14, 2017 • THE CHICAGO DEFENDER

“A lot of people believed that we are all free in America, which I don’t really believe.

I believe you are free once you gain economic freedom.”

— Solow foster mom became my foster mom — she raised us the best that she could. When I was 14, I was a straight A-student — I turned into a thug. I was running the streets — I was shot three or four times. I just went through a lot.”

Getting Serious Having rapped a little bit here and there, he began to take it more seriously as he began to try it out on the subway platforms. Soon after, his confidence of seeking another way out pulled him away from the streets.

“When I saw that music was a way out, I gradually used it.”

His current situation is an open book of lessons. Solow is with a

new record label with a new music project, Freedom Papers. The album is an open-book testimony of understanding the African-American experience through modern-day times.

“It’s kind of deep. If you’re familiar with the slave times, you had to have freedom papers to roam in society freely. A lot of people believed that we are all free in America, which I don’t really believe. I believe you are free once you gain economic freedom. So freedom papers in this country now would be money. You are not free if you don’t have money because you can’t take care of your family, you can’t do anything — you’re stuck in the ghetto and you don’t have the

freedom to leave.”

Featured songs include “Watch How I Do It” featuring Zoey Dollars, the radio single “Get It” and his favorite, “Let Me Live My Life.”

He says, “It represents what I went through and everything that I had to do to get where I’m at.”

The album has collaborations from Bobby Valentino, Young Dro and hip hop pioneers Do or Die. Released in part by Slang Music Group, the music video for “Get It” has nearly 60,000 views on YouTube since the top of the year.

Growing up in the foster system, he’s witnessed his life take a turn for the worse, and now he’s determined to build a better one for his kids.

As a single father, he is committed to guiding his children on a better path, learning from his mistakes.

“My lesson to them would be don’t think with anger. It’s the worst thing that we could do to not put color in it, but the worst thing we can do as Black people is think with anger. It’s what’s expected of us. If you ever watch the television shows, whenever they portray a Black man or woman, it’s always anger,” he explains. “A Black woman rolling her eyes and cursing people out or a Black man pulling out a gun. This is what they show us to be in the media. I want my kids to know you can’t physically fight through life. You must use your brain.”

One More Chance On the flipside of “happiness” and “blessings,” Chance the Rapper had social media on FIYAH with his donation of $1 million to the Chicago Public Schools (CPS).

Wow! After last week’s meeting with Gov. Bruce Rauner, the three-time Grammy-winning artist was asked what should be done about the $215 million shortfall for CPS? Vowing to make an announcement on Monday to begin pushing forward solutions, the Chatham native stood in front of the cameras at Westcott Elementary presenting an oversized check by his nonprofit organization, Social Works. Now what? He challenged other businesses to do the same in helping CPS. His donation would be allocated toward the district’s art programs.

The problem is much deeper and, unfortunately, grade schools in predominantly Black and Latino communities are affected harder than other communities.

A graduate of Jones College Prep, a CPS special-enrollment school, Chance follows other notable natives such as former Bulls player Derrick Rose and Mellody Hobson, along with her husband, George Lucas, who donated $30 million to Afterschool Matters.

11 Lesser-Known Facts About Sickle Cell

VERYWELL.com About one out of every 365 African-American births are affected by sickle cell disease, where red blood cells become abnormally long and pointed, similar to the shape of a banana. It affects about 100,000 people in the United States and millions worldwide. Here are some lesser-known facts and misconceptions you should know.

1) Sickle Cell Awareness Month September is National Sickle Cell Awareness Month. The Sickle Cell Disease Association of America, an advocacy group for people, families, and communities affected by sickle cell disease, was instrumental in this proposal, and it was officially recognized in 1983.

2) It Can Occur in Any Race or Ethnic Group Although sickle cell disease has long been associated with people of African descent, it can be found in many races and ethnic groups, including Spanish, Brazilian, Indian and even Caucasian. Because of this fact, all babies born in the United States are tested for this condition.

3) An Inherited Disease Sickle cell disease is not contagious like a cold. People are either born with it or they are not. If you are born with sickle cell

disease, both of your parents have sickle cell trait (or one parent with sickle cell trait and the other with another hemoglobin trait). People with sickle cell trait cannot develop sickle cell disease.

4) Diagnosed at Birth In the United States, every baby is tested for sickle cell disease. This is part of the

16 March 08 - 14, 2017 • THE CHICAGO DEFENDER

newborn screen performed shortly after birth. Some people may refer to this as the PKU test. Identifying children with sickle cell disease in infancy can prevent serious complications.

5) Connection Between Sickle Cell Trait and Malaria People with sickle cell trait can be found

most heavily in areas of the world that have malaria. This is because sickle cell trait can protect a person from becoming infected with malaria. This doesn’t mean a person with sickle cell trait cannot be infected with malaria, but it is less common than a person without sickle cell trait.

6) Not All Types Are Created Equal There are different types of sickle cell disease, which vary in severity. Hemoglobin SS (also the most common type) and sickle beta zero are the most severe, followed by hemoglobin SC and sickle beta plus thalassemia.

7) More Than Just Pain There is a lot more to sickle cell disease than just painful crises. Sickle cell disease is a disorder of the red blood cells, which supply oxygen to all the organs. Because sickle cell disease occurs in the blood, every organ in the body can be affected. Patients with SCD are at risk for stroke, eye disease, gallstones, serious bacterial infections, and anemia, to name a few.

8) Children at Risk for Stroke Although all people with sickle cell disease are at risk for stroke, children with sickle cell disease have a much higher risk than the children without sickle cell disease. Because of this risk, physicians who treat children with sickle cell disease use an ultrasound of the brain to screen and determine who is at highest risk of stroke and start treatment to prevent this complication.

9) A Simple Antibiotic Changes Life Expectancy The antibiotic penicillin is life-saving.

People with sickle cell disease are at increased risk of serious bacterial infections.

Starting penicillin twice a day for the first five years of life has changed the course of this condition from something only seen in children into a condition people live into adulthood with.

10) Treatments Are Available There is more than pain medication for treating sickle cell disease. Today, blood transfusions and a medicine called hydroxyurea are changing the lives of people with sickle cell. These therapies are allowing people with sickle cell disease to live longer lives with fewer complications. Multiple research studies are ongoing to find additional treatment options.

11) There Is a Cure Bone marrow (also called stem cell) transplantation is the only cure. The best success has come from donors who are siblings whose genetic makeup matches the person with sickle cell disease. In the coming years, gene therapy looks like a promising treatment.

If you or your family member has sickle cell disease, it is important to have regular follow-up with a physician to ensure up-todate care is provided.

And quite a few of those minority executives held the position of chief diversity officer – not exactly a heartbeat away from CEO. Just 36 percent of hospital governing boards have set goals for diversity; only 31 percent have a documented plan to increase minority executives.

Practical Steps So what are the practical steps we can take to finally achieve true diversity?

Lloyd Dean, president and CEO of Dignity Health, says health systems must establish cultures of accountability for diversity through ongoing, active recruiting and recommending of minorities for board positions, a process he likens to “building a community of experienced and seasoned candidates.” At Dignity, he started by working with his board to ensure diversity on all committees and the Executive Committee of the board, which includes the chair of the board. “You need people of color on the Governance and Nominating Committee and the Human Resources Committee, in fact on every committee there is,” Dean said during the inaugural meeting of The Leverage Network’s Healthcare Board Initiative in Las Vegas in October.

Dean has succeeded. A look at Dignity’s board and executive team today reveals the full kaleidoscope of color, gender and ethnicity.

Why is it so important to start at the top? That Brookings Institution report has part of the answer. It posits that unconscious race bias – also known as “implicit bias” – though different and less malicious than intentional racism, has equally harmful results. “Because implicit bias is sub-

tle and hidden, it allows discrimination in health care to persist although explicit racism is no longer legal or even approved by Americans. Unconscious bias defies the best intentions of physicians, nurses and clinicians who dedicate their lives to a caring profession,” the report states.

Sheila Talton puts it another way. The African-American CEO of Gray Matter Analytics, which builds data strategies for health care providers, Talton serves on the board of John Deere Construction & Forestry Company. She told The Leverage Network audience that metrics are about more than numbers. “In business, if you don’t measure it, it doesn’t get paid attention to. The metrics are about the performance of your organization and then tying that back to the leadership and the board representation.” In other words, diversity at the top is inextricably linked to how well you are serving your patient populations.

My view is that our national dialogue must be a candid, open conversation about race. Until we openly give voice to the problems of implicit bias, inequity of care and the impact of segregation on access to care, we won’t start to achieve meaningful change in health care disparities.

This has been a scary time in terms of race relations in America. Health care has led the way on other issues of social change. Perhaps this is the time for our industry to play a key role in bridging the racial divide, with the ultimate goal of equality in access to quality health care for all Americans.
