An award-winning photojournalist, Robert A. Sengstacke, best known as ”Bobby,” was considered one of the most prolific American photographers in the 20th into the 21st century. Mr. Sengstacke passed away March 7, at 73, after a long illness. He was the foundation of strength whose roots were grounded in a family legacy that laid seeds — nurturing lives and informing millions of Black people through the Chicago Defender. As the grand-nephew of the publication’s founder, Robert Sengstacke Abbott, who started the paper in 1905, he was the second child of three sons born to John and Myrtle Sengstacke on May 29, 1943. Under his father’s guidance, Chicago Defender Publisher John H.H. Sengstacke, he started working at a young age at the Chicago Daily Defender in 1950, handling odd-end jobs. As he grew older, he worked in the production department, newspaper circulation and on the print machinery. He noticed his father’s love for photography and filming family gatherings — soon adopting a passion for it himself. As he attended Los Angeles City College, he began photographing all the Black sororities and fraternities — in addition to working as an understudy for famed fashion photographer Lamont McLemore. It was there he started to learn darkroom techniques. After a couple of years, he returned to Chicago, where the civil rights and Black Arts Movement was kicking up steam. Bobby’s natural ability to connect with people showed throughout his work. Knowing the climate of racial uproar was on the brink, he felt compelled to capture it and portray leaders such as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in a powerful context. Bobby and other Black photographers collectively agreed to provide this photographic narrative to Black media publications around the country, with the Chicago Defender leading the charge. In his mini-documentary, The Sengstacke Eye, he describes the importance of documenting leaders such as Dr. King. “Where else can a Black photographer really speak to his people? It was the only Black daily newspaper in the country. The front page is a performing arts stage,” he said. “The reason my photographs of Dr. King are so outstanding, not for me, but I’ve had too many photo editors and photo researchers say the same thing over and over again, ’your work seems to have captured the essence of Dr. Martin Luther King’s essence and personality.’ That’s what I’ve done.” Although his upper-middle-class upbringing could have set him apart from the average working-class Black Chicagoan, his family’s social standing in the community brought out a unique approach to their commitment to Black people.

The Civil Rights and Black Arts Movement A pioneer of the Black Arts Movement in the 1960s, Haki Madhubuti is founder and publisher of Third World Press Foundation. He says Bobby’s contribution and commitment were crucial to establishing a solid voice during that time for Chicago Black artists. “We knew that Bobby was in an upper, higher-middle-class family, but that never came out in his actions. The way he involved himself in the arts community — everything from the ‘Wall of Respect’ — the writers, poets, actors, and playwrights came out of that movement. Chicago was central to the whole movement — it was the intellectual center,” he explained. “You look at his body of work — you see everything from his very fine portraits of the Nation of Islam to the streets and Black arts movement in Chicago. There were very few photographers who could match him.” Over four decades ago, his contribution to the famous mural in Bronzeville, ‘The Wall of Respect,’ which highlighted key African-American public figures and significant milestones in our community was an exhibition at the Chicago Loop public library branch in 1969. “He was one of the men who were making a name for himself and for the Black Arts Movement. The Movement would never die because you had that body of work which he will be a part of. The photography was critical because it defined a time, a scene, a moment that you just can’t get back anymore,” said Madhubuti. While he contributed photos to the Defender, his reputation grew, along with opportunities to work with other organizations. During this time, he was the photographer for the Nation of Islam’s publication Mohammed Speaks (currently The Final Call), the City of Chicago’s Mayor Richard J. Daley, and cast photographer for Oscar Brown Jr. productions, Summer in the City and Opportunity Please Knock. A long-time family friend, John Simmons, was best friends with Bobby’s younger brother, Louis Sengstacke, and began admiring him at a young age. Working at the paper at 16, he gained knowledge in the darkroom and became his assistant. “Bobby would hang out with people like Herbie Hancock, all kind of hip musicians who were around at that time.

all over the country together. We’ve shot civil rights demonstrations in Georgia. I don’t know how many times we drove out to California together,” recalled Simmons. In 1969, Bobby traveled to Nashville for a couple of years to participate in Fisk University’s ”artist in residence,”teaching photography and film. His influence on students was lasting — bringing his unique style of Black empowerment and pride that was rarely openly displayed below the Mason-Dixon line during that time. He encouraged John to attend city college and transfer to Fisk in order to take his class. Simmons followed his mentor. “Bobby brought something to Fisk University that was fresh in creating a photography department with fellow filmmaker David Driscoll,” he said.
Taking Over the Reins Throughout the following years, he took on various responsibilities as the Defender’s Promotions and Marketing Director, Special Events and Fundraiser for the Bud Billiken Parade, and becoming the Editor and Publisher of the Memphis Tri-State Defender from 1974-1980. Later, as he performed freelance work for various corporations such as Houston Lighting and Power, New York Public Library, The Phil Donahue Show and Eastman-Kodak Company, he became the president of Sengstacke Newspapers in 1989. The family group of papers included the Michigan Chronicle, The Tri-State Defender, The Pittsburgh Courier and the Chicago Defender. After the passing of John H. H. Sengstacke in 1997, Col. Eugene Scott became publisher of the Chicago Defender in the late nineties until it was sold to Real Times. He later became president of the Chicago Defender Charities, retiring from that position in 2015. He recalls their friendship. “I really got to know Bobby when I retired from the army and came back to work for the newspaper. I worked closely with Bobby. What Mr. Sengstacke wanted was to get Bobby in some type of mindset to be in charge. He thought some of my discipline would rub off on him, so we were like the ‘Bobbsey Twins’,” he softly laughs. “If either one of us had an issue or a report to give, both of us would have to come to his office and agree.” www.chicagodefender.com
With his photographs and film documentaries being selected and shown throughout the country at the most prestigious institutions, Col. Scott knew Bobby was not going to stay the traditional route of his father. “He was trying to make a business person out of an artist,” Scott said, adding that all of Bobby’s work highlighted Black people. “You can see the love he had for Black people in his work. The images he presented. The images of the Muslim women from Farrakhan’s organization, Nation of Islam. All the ladies would be sitting together in white. Bobby captured beautiful shots of those women,” said Scott. Bobby’s images went well beyond celebrities and public figures. His travels in the deep South in the 1980s throughout the early 1990s still captured economic racial disparity on his visits in Mississippi and Alabama. “This had to be right after slavery, but some of the people were living almost like it was right after slavery as indentured servants and sharecroppers,” said Scott.
A Game-Changer Fellow friend and chair of the Black United Fund of Illinois, Professor Robert T. Starks, said, “His major subject was African-Americans, not only the prominent but ordinary African-Americans.” In the 1980s, Starks, along with co-founder Henry English, formed the Black United Fund of Illinois. They approached Bobby. “We made sure he was a member of the board of directors. He was one of the original members. He performed that role very well. We really depended quite a bit on his role,” said Starks. Working with the Black United Fund of Illinois was one of many organizations and responsibilities he supported, engaging the needs and economic stimulus for the Black community. The life-long commitment of service his family held dear, carried over from his father, John Sengstacke, who would repeatedly share these words with his son, Bobby. “This paper is for the people — we don’t own this newspaper. God has made our family trustees — and don’t you forget it.” He never forgot as he traveled the world, showing the beauty, pain, despair,
Robert Sengstacke captured several beautiful shots of Muslim women. and triumphs of African-American people throughout the critical piece of our history. His works have been exhibited at the Statue of Liberty, The Smithsonian Institution and the Museum of Science and Industry as one of the co-founders of Black Creativity, as well as Spelman College, Stanford University, the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC), the University of Illinois-Urbana, the University of Minnesota and the DuSable Museum of African American History. A major exhibit was held of his works in the main Chicago Loop library branch in 1969. The exhibit featured the highly acclaimed piece “The Wall of Respect: Vestiges, Shards and the Legacy of Black Power.” Bobby’s legacy lives on in various profiles in Ebony, Jet, Essence, The Washington Post, Houston Post, the Chicago Tribune, LIFE, The New York Times, in addition to other licensed use by films such as Spike Lee’s School Daze. He is survived by the next generation of Sengstacke leaders. Recently appointed President of Chicago Defender Charities, Myiti Sengstacke-Rice says, “My dad was a visionary and I am grateful for the gift of life that he instilled in his children. He expressed how proud he was of me for carrying the torch by running the family Charity and Bud Billiken Parade,” she expressed. His influential body of work is endless, with over 50 mini-documentaries, television commercials and productions under Sengstacke Media Productions.
“We will honor him and his memory, by ensuring that his work and contributions continue to inspire, educate and elevate our community for many generations to come.” He is survived by his wife, Jacquelyn Sengstacke, and their two children, Domenic and Jasmine, his first wife, VeeLa Sengstacke-Gonzales and their children, Myiti Sengstacke-Rice, Omhari and Hasani. Their older son, Saief, passed away in 2009. He is also survived by his daughterin-law, Shantella, and his grandchildren, Imani, Malahni and Montrel. Col. Scott recalls the thing that stood out the most for him about Bobby Sengstacke’s character. “He was such a good-natured individual who was smart as hell about journalism. He could write a great story. He knew all the essence to capture the story. I was impressed with my time with Bobby,” reminisced Scott on what stood out most about Bobby’s character. After working in the film industry for over nearly five decades, filming television shows and feature films, the Emmy-award winning cinematographer John Simmons reflected on Sengstacke’s deep impact on his life and career. “Because I take pictures every day, I have a responsibility to humanity and my people to be able to portray them with dignity. To make one picture and tell a story of humanness, affection and let it have its own spirit and life. Bobby’s work would never be complete because his pictures will live forever.”

WOMEN IN MUSIC
Cathy Carroll Q&A: Inspired by Music, Driven by Faith By Mary L. Datcher Defender Arts & Entertainment Editor Cathy Carroll is a name that is familiar and respected among top-level radio and record executives in the music business. A Chicago native, she rose from working street promotions and building relationships to breaking music for some of the biggest names in the business. Her passion and drive from working a night shift — nearly three decades ago at a phone company to a part-time assistant at a major record label — sealed the deal in her incredible journey. For the past six months, she has become acclimated in her role as the national promotions director for RCA Inspiration, which boasts Gospel artists Donnie McClurkin, Kirk Franklin, Fred Hammond and Travis Greene. What is your personal background and how did your family foundation support your journey? I grew up on the South Side of Chicago on 83rd and Rhodes in Chatham. I attended Faulkner, which is a private grammar school, and then I went to Longwood High School. My parents were both hard-working people. My mother worked at the post office. She stayed there for 33 years and retired. My dad worked for United Airlines; he was a skycap and threw bags. They just really worked hard. How did you start out in the business? I got in the business by trying to help and manage R. Kelly. That was during the 1980s. He was 17 when I met him. Obviously, my managing skills weren’t that great, but I did have a great artist. We always supported him through his journey for six years, prior to being signed to Jive Records. During that time, I learned a lot and had a good relationship with the Stepney family. Charles Stepney was a big producer for Earth, Wind & Fire. Through Charles Stepney’s family, I met then-record reps John Hall Jr. and Kirkland Burke. From there, I worked my way into the business. Charles “Chuck” Arrington gave me my first shot as his assistant at MCA Records. I was still working at the phone company. I was going to work at MCA in the morning and working at the phone company in the evening. I would leave the job and go to the clubs around midnight — dealing with the DJs. Were there many female reps back then at the time? At the time, James Cochran, a VP at Motown Records, gave Pat Edwards a position and Cynthia Johnson moved from LA to Chicago. I remember hearing women’s names like Sara Melendez, Sylvia Rhone, Cheryl Winston and Dina Davis who worked at record companies. There were a lot of female reps back then. When you were working with Chuck Arrington, what were some of the things that you were responsible for to get the music out here?

Chuck hired me to become their street team rep. Where I really made my name with the Juice soundtrack — where he starred. I took that campaign and it was all over the city. I really did a lot for that project. That’s how I got recognized. My day-to-day was calling program directors. At the time, the label had Patti LaBelle, New Edition, Gladys Knight — they were all on MCA at the time. I was calling program directors and eventually, I got to know a few Midwest programmers, and that helped me get my job at Epic Records two years later. There was some rejection up to that point. In fact, I had applied for so many labels, by the time I interviewed with Epic, I figured it would be the last time. Because Epic was, by far, the best and most established label out of all the ones I applied for. I thought, if I didn’t get on to the other labels, I figured I wouldn’t be hired by Epic. God had other plans for me. I even applied for Def Jam and the VP there said I was too “nice” to work records (she laughs). What people don’t get is the multiple hats that one had to wear during that time when they were working records — explain the difference between what reps had to do within the Black Music Division versus their Pop counterparts? First, let’s start at the top. The Pop departments always had the most money. They had the most resources to draw from, and I’m not trying to take away from them because they did the work. My Pop counterpart at the time, she had triple the stations than I had, but she had a lot of help working with her radio stations. I had to do more grassroots stuff marketing with the Black Music Division — you always had to do grassroots marketing. Back then, we had to call retail stores to get sales reports because they didn’t have Soundscan. We called radio stations

last five years. Right now, we’re looking at Spotify, Vevo — all these digital platforms, and everything is streaming. To break a record now, they put it on these outlets and see where it goes from there and then you take it to radio and say, “Hey, this is what’s happening.” On the Gospel side, there’s more streaming; however, we take a lot of our artists to churches to minister. How did you take the leap from working from secular and mainstream music to the Gospel side? I owe my Gospel career to Debra “Snoopy” Hanna. She’s the one who dragged me into another lane. I worked for her for one year when I got a call from a friend who worked for Tom Joyner’s company, Reach Media, in Dallas. They needed an Affiliate’s Relations person for the Gospel shows. She knew how hard I worked and I had already worked Gospel. I knew the radio programmers. There are entities other than radio that we also must concentrate on, so for me there’s been a great learning curve to meet and talk to people. As a working female in the business, where’s the balance? I feel that I have a blessed life. I’m happy. I go to church every Sunday, unless I’m out of town. My spiritual life has been a big part of my progress. I feel my connection with God. He has looked out for me. I attend New Life Covenant on the South Side of Chicago. I also love to cook. In fact, I lived with my cousin for two years when I came back to Chicago. Her husband owns Hecky’s in Evanston. As much as I love to cook, I’m not a consistent one. I also like to travel and I have great friends, and family. On occasion, I travel to Lafayette, Louisiana, where my mother’s family is from, so I try to stay connected. There, I love the food, the culture and knowing my family is there.

“I got in the business by trying to help and manage R. Kelly. That was during the 1980s.” — Cathy Carroll because they didn’t have BDS/Mediabase. You had to call the stations in your markets, you had to visit them, and you had to set up interviews in the market. Not only with radio, but also with press and media. We had Ebony/Jet, Chicago Defender — Earl Calloway certainly gave me carte blanche. So, you had outlets, these Black outlets that you had to go. Anything we could really find, we took the artists around everywhere as opposed to the artist coming to one spot and everyone coming there. Even now, do you find your role being the national promotions director for RCA Inspiration challenging since you started in the business 30 years ago? The challenge now, in 2017, is completely different than the 1990s. There’s not even a comparison. The music industry has evolved over the

COMMENTARY
Emanuel All Talk, Little Strategy When It Comes to Police Reform This column was originally published in The Chicago Reporter. By Curtis Black I was a little surprised to see Chicago Police Supt. Eddie Johnson say that he’s planning to establish a new hotline for officers to anonymously report misconduct by their colleagues. That’s because it’s been almost a year since Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced that the department “will create a third-party hotline for members of the Chicago Police Department to report misconduct.” It was one of a number of reforms Emanuel said CPD would “immediately” put in place. That was in April 2016, when Emanuel announced that CPD was “immediately implementing nearly a third of the recommendations from the Police Accountability Task Force,” according to a release from his office. Yet last month, the chair of that task force, Police Board President Lori Lightfoot, noted that “the vast majority” of the task force’s recommendations “have not been implemented.” That’s the problem with Emanuel’s politically driven approach to governance. He’ll hold a press conference, make an announcement and then move on to the next problem, with little attention to follow-up. Take the wild claims he initially made for his Infrastructure Trust, which never raised the hundreds of millions promised and left projects still dependent on public financing. Or take the promises of his first anti-violence initiative, Get In Chicago, which has since been abandoned. Then there’s Emanuel’s tax-increment financing reform task force, whose recommendations he greeted enthusiastically in his first year in office – then never bothered to implement. The lack of follow-through or success matters a lot with police reform, particularly with U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions saying the Justice Department is “pulling back” from seeking a consent decree here, which would specify tasks and set deadlines.
Just a List of Promises Johnson’s announcement of CPD’s “Next Steps for Reform” may have been in response to Lightfoot’s demands that the city issue a specific plan. And while she praised Johnson and his commitment to reform, she also pointed out that “Next Steps” is just a list of promises. “This isn’t everything,” she said. “It’s not the specifics of the project plan.” Chicago has to move with all deliberate speed with police reform – but it also has to get it right. A comprehensive plan that not only sets specific deadlines, but also organizes actions that build on each other,

Mayor Emanuel will hold a press conference, make an announcement and then move on to the next problem, with little attention to follow-up. is crucial. One example is highlighted in the Justice Department’s report on CPD: After Emanuel determined that Tasers would be issued to each police department member – as a strategy to reduce incidents like the fatal shooting of Laquan McDonald in 2014 – training in Taser use was rolled out so quickly that it was essentially worthless. “Officers were not effectively taught how or when to use a Taser as a less-lethal force option,” according to the report. On top of that, officers were being trained under a department policy on Taser use that the Justice Department said fails to meet constitutional standards and “permits the use of Tasers in situations where it is unreasonable.” Obviously, the Taser policy needs to be fixed; indeed, the plan Johnson released promises that CPD will review and revise its Taser policy. Just as obviously, that should have been done before the entire department was trained under an inadequate Taser policy. But Tasers were a key element in the mayor’s communication strategy around

police reform, which he describes as “technology, training and transparency.” Emanuel loves alliteration, and it often seems like he thinks a problem is solved when he comes up with a catchy phrase.
‘Huge Step Backward’ Under Emanuel’s leadership, police reform may also be subject to shifting political winds; changes in the department’s proposed new use-of-force policy seem to reflect this. In October, while the Justice Department was still investigating, CPD rolled out an initial draft that won praise from experts. Last week, after Sessions announced he was backing off, a second draft was released. Advocates called it “a huge step backward” and warned that it, too, may not meet constitutional standards. Yet the department is now hiring hundreds of new police officers and putting them through a training system that the DOJ described as pathetically outmoded. Promised training improvements “cannot be allowed to languish or to be handled in a quick, reactive manner, which is how officers characterize previous trainings,” according to the DOJ report.
As a broad coalition of criminal justice and anti-violence groups noted in a recent report, “It is unclear whether adding more police into an unreconstructed system of inequitable deployment and insufficient oversight and training can positively impact violence.” Resources and priorities are key here: The city is now spending tens of millions of dollars hiring police while its training system, according to the DOJ report, is severely under-resourced. The danger here is putting the cart in front of the horse. Our globe-trotting Energizer bunny of a mayor may not be capable of the sustained attention this requires. He is all tactics, no strategy. Emanuel has appointed a respected police reform advocate, Walter Katz, as deputy chief of staff for public safety. He is reported to be starting in his new position on April 10. Let’s hope he has the vision and wherewithal to develop a strategic, sustained approach to this issue. That could mean standing up to a mayor who is obsessed with putting points on the board. www.chicagodefender.com

Q: A:
Actor Hill Harper Launches New Skin and Body Line By Mary L. Datcher Defender Arts & Entertainment Editor Over the last two decades, we have enjoyed the critically acclaimed performances from award-winning actor and best-selling author and philanthropist Hill Harper. He has graced both the small screen and major films, including starring in the CBS television drama CSI: NY, USA Network’s Covert Affairs, Limitless and co-starring alongside Will Smith in the movie Concussion. The seven-time NAACP Image Award recipient has penned numerous New York Times best-sellers as well as created the Manifest Your Destiny Foundation, an organization dedicated to empowering youth through mentorship, scholarship and grant programs. A staunch advocate of education, he graduated magna cum laude with a BA from Brown University, and cum laude with a J.D. degree from Harvard Law School, where he began a long-term friendship with fellow law student Barack Obama. His honorary degrees from several universities and colleges consist of a long list of notable institutions. What makes Harper stand out as one of Hollywood’s leading men is how he continues to utilize his celebrity for good. As a businessman, he recently launched a skincare and body line. H2L is a premium natural men’s collection, and JUA Essentials is the chemical-free women’s collection designed with natural plant extracts and oils. www.chicagodefender.com
The line falls under Harper and The Architect & Co., a company Harper co-founded and proudly serves as the brand ambassador. In between his various projects, he stopped in Chicago for a soft launch of his new collection and spoke with the Chicago Defender about his new line. We understand that your company has launched a new skincare and beauty line. Can you tell us about it? It’s for men and women. It’s really for the body and not much for the face, except for men there’s a shaving kit for men. What makes this particular line special and separate from other products? Healthy skin all over your body with a healthy scent. Attractive scents — all these things I wanted to focus on. It was really borne out of wellness. President Obama appointed me to the president’s cancer council earlier in his term. I served on it for the last six years. In 2010, I was diagnosed with cancer myself, and I realized the connection between all the products that we lay on our skin are absorbed into our body. The liver and kidney must clean out the toxics and the metals in our system. The drug companies aren’t that interested in curing cancer so much as they there are interested in creating drugs that can deal with it once you have it. I’ve come to the realization much of the aluminum sulfates that we put on our body — very

Q: A:
I don’t necessarily say African American — people with melanin in their skin. That also could mean a person can be of East Indian descent or certain parts of Mexico, Italy and so forth if you have melanin in your skin there, are certain things that link us. Folks with a lot of melanin, we tend to have a vitamin D deficiency. We have vitamin D in our products. The thing that I’m most excited about is an oil that I discovered when I was traveling in Africa. It’s called the baobab oil; it’s from the baobab tree. In Africa, they say it’s the tree of life. The oil itself contains so many valuable properties that are healthy for melanin in their skins. Trying to keep this affordable has been a challenge. I’m not introducing anything that isn’t affordable. I’m figuring out how to import it at a price that makes sense for the regular, working folks in our community. It’s great for African-American skin, and it’s been used for centuries for folks in Africa. How are you giving back to people in the community through this new venture? There’s also a job piece here. At the end of the day, I started to realize the motivational engagement that I do to help returning citizens and young juvenile “so-called” offenders is important work for me. You can motivate folks, but if they can’t find a job, it doesn’t do anybody any good. I had to look myself in the mirror and ask, “I’m going to be a job creator? Can I encourage other folks to create businesses where they can start jobs?” What do you have coming up on the acting side? This season I did Homeland. There’s a few more episodes left to air on Showtime until May. A phenomenally well-written show. I was happy to do this season. I have my show on HLN, How It Really Happened, that comes on every Friday night. It’s a mix of tragedy, murders, some serial murders — just different high-profile cases. We examine and use the archive footage from CNN and interviews to explore what really happened. On the set, I jokingly say, the show really is called, “What Had Happened Was . . .” (he laughs) I did so many years on CSI, it’s organic for me to talk about the idea to follow the evidence. What happened and what we’re being told at the time. There are cases coming up, JFK Jr. We’ve already aired Prince, Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston, as well JonBenet and Anna Nicole Smith have aired. We’ll have new episodes airing through May. It’s an exciting show. The team from CNN documentary, they are the best documentary producers in the world. The show is extremely high quality. You also have the Tupac Shakur film coming out June 16, right? LT Hutton produced it and Benny Boom directed the film. It happens to be on Tupac Shakur’s birthday. They decided to hold the movie until then as a dedication to him. It’s a great film, and the script is fantastic. The young brother who plays him looks and captures his essence so brilliantly. He looks like him in real life — you must do a double take. He is a wonderful actor and he brings the character to life.
naturally — particularly in our community are doing a great deal of damage. Skin and beauty care products that are more organic can also be very expensive, thus pricing themselves out to folks who are within a budget. How do you make sure your products are affordable? I wanted to come out with the body care line to take care of our skin and have it be reasonably priced. Once I did my research of what I wanted to buy, I realized that you must be wealthy to use certain lines. I figured there has to be a way to create these premium-quality products for affordable prices. I connected directly to manufacturers, chemists, and redeveloped a wonderful line for men and women. This is what we tend to do; I travel so much. For example, we’ll go into a hotel room and we will use those things without even knowing what’s in the bottle. That’s how conditioned we are without thinking. We won’t just throw something in our mouths if we don’t have a sense of what it is, it may not be healthy but at least we know if you’re eating cake, you’re eating cake, so you’re making that choice. With skin and body care you just don’t know. Not many are all natural, but we are. In our community, we’re all different tones, shades, and therefore our body chemistry is not going to respond to mainstream products as well as others. Is this line designed for African-American skin?

How dare they? I was about to go into a Denzel Washington Training Day style rant by asking “Do you know who I am?” but realized that would just make this whole situation go further south for me. Why does Chicago have all these people walking up and down the street anyway? I struggled to gather myself as the sophisticated food critic that I am, got up and entered my rental vehicle. I was more upset about dropping my espresso than the sheer embarrassment of what can only be described as an epic fall.
Good Customer Service
My eventful visit was unique, but it did not take away from the delicious experience, service, and ambience. Whether you are studying, meeting friends, looking to concentrate or stay warm, Sip and Savor has a place for you. I appreciated the excellent customer service from cute young representatives who reminded me of the little sisters I never had. (I only have big sisters who beat me mercilessly, but I digress.) Sip and Savor has two locations with plans of opening more. The spot has a cool concept that supports small businesses in the Chicago area. If you have an amazing cake company, doughnut company, or even sandwiches, there are opportunities for you to not only do a pop-up in the store, but they might also carry your product daily! On top of that, the company is involved in many charitable and benevolent activities within the community. On my next visit from Miami, I will definitely return.

For more than half a century, Seaway Bank and Trust provided CHARLENE convenient access and full services to its loyal customers. It was also a CROWELL symbol of Black pride as the Midwest’s largest Black-owned bank. When it was taken over by fedNNPA FINANCIAL WRITER eral regulators and then sold to the State Bank of Texas, it might have seemed as if its South and West side customers along with those in Milwaukee would all be forced to look for alternative banking services. But thanks to an agreement recently reached between the State of Texas and Self-Help, a $2 billion community development financial institution, many of the accessible and neighborhood-based services that served about 15,000 customer accounts may resume by late spring. Federal regulators and the two financial institutions are working together on a transition of ownership that would preserve the Seaway legacy and mission. “Seaway built a long history of financial service to families and businesses of modest means,” said Martin Eakes, CEO of Self-Help. “We seek to carry Seaway’s torch forward.” What Eakes did not comment on is that Self-Help and its subsidiary, the Center for Responsible Lending, have also been vocal advocates for policy solutions that promote responsible lending on one hand, and an end to predatory and abusive financial practices on the other. This advocacy has called for transparency and accountability in consumer financial transactions whether the topic was mortgages, student debt, or short-term and high-cost loans like payday and car-title. Already, a team of Self-Help staff, led by Al Bass, have begun a series of meetings with bank officials, regulators and Seaway staff to achieve the transfer of ownership by May 1. A former executive with Mechanics and Farmers Bank, another Black-owned institution based in Durham, N.C., Bass is an EVP with Self-Help. “All of Self-Help recognizes and respects the efforts begun in 1965 to bring economic empowerment to Black Chicagoans,” said Bass. “We are committed to becoming a community partner that listens and learns from the people of Chicago. The people who live, work and worship in the Windy City know better than anyone else the community’s needs, priorities and concerns.” Community Investment Self-Help brings to Chicago’s South Side a record of community engagement and investment that began in 1980 in North Carolina. Today, Self-Help offers a full range of financial services and products to nearly 130,000 members – including 28,000 Black members in one of two credit unions with over 40 branches across four states: California, Florida, North Carolina and Illinois. Since 2013, Self-Help’s three branch locations operating as Second Federal currently serve an estimated 12,000 customers in the largely Latino West Side communities of Little Village, Archer Heights and Cicero. By choosing to focus locations and services to areas under-served by traditional financial services firms, Self-Help has amassed a track record of $7 billion in total financing that includes $18 million in loans to 27 Black churches and 11,600 mortgages for first-time Black homebuyers. Other substantial community investments in Black communities include: • $145 million to over 1,200 Black-owned small businesses; • $52 million in financing for 33 schools that collectively serve 11,000 students • $35 million in affordable housing and community infrastructure. “Self-Help’s experience of serving people in Chicago’s West Side suggests that they will be able to continue Seaway’s work of providing banking services in the South Side,” said Norman Williams, retired chairman of the board and chief executive officer of Illinois Service Federal Savings and Loan (ISF Bank). ISF Bank has served Black Chicagoans since 1934. “Our neighborhoods were severely impacted by the economic recession, and I hope Self-Help can partner with others in the community to bring about the much-needed recovery,” added Williams. At the height of the civil rights era, Seaway began selling shares by going door-to-door until enough money had been raised to secure a federal bank charter. Within a year of receiving the charter, Seaway’s assets grew to more than $5 million. Through the support of a loyal customer base, it helped to make many dreams come true for Chicagoans. In 2017, those same dreams and spirit of community economic empowerment still live in Black communities across the country. The difference right now is that Chicago is presented with a rare opportunity to build upon a proud legacy. Charlene Crowell is the Center for Responsible Lending’s communications deputy director.

Black Empowerment, Love & Pride
Mary L. Datcher By Mary L .Datcher Defender Senior Staff Writer This week, as we celebrate the life and legacy of former Chicago Defender Editor Robert A. Sengstacke, we are grateful to him for defining what makes the Chicago Defender strong. His love and loyalty for Black people were unrivaled and undiminished. We saw it in his photos that archived a time in our American history that was often turbulent, yet empowering. At times when we didn’t see the beauty in ourselves and our culture, a Robert Sengstacke photo would show you the opposite. When I interviewed friends and

family about ”Bobby,“ the main thing they all said was that he loved Black people. His passing March 7, at 73, was another blow to the Chicago and Black arts community because he helped shape a poignant chapter in our civil rights movement through his photographs, and later in his mini-documentaries. As a journalist, I am moved when I watch his short films and sort through the Chicago Defender archives of his works. Wow! To be in the middle of a revolution of beautiful independent thinkers who included writers and artists such as Gwendolyn Brooks, Lorraine Hansberry, Oscar Brown Jr., Margaret Burroughs, Haki Madhubuti, Herbie Hancock and others must’ve been BANANAS. To feel that level of consciousness and to know that you influenced REAL CHANGE. Bobby Sengstacke was a part of this era in Chicago and across the nation. As I wrote about his legacy for this week’s front-page tribute story, I became troubled because deep down I wondered if we will ever experience and embrace that kind cultural pride again. The kind
of cultural pride that is felt across town in Little Village — where their business corridor is the second-highest-grossing shopping district in the city. The same community that graces multiple visual murals of Latino culture and history on every block and very little empty storefronts. We must do better. We must love who we are as a people — without shame, without malice and without hate.

EDUCATION

Black Parents Must Support the Every Student Succeeds Act
Want to Be More Confident? Get Some Rest
DR. BENJAMIN CHAVIS NNPA COLUMNIST
Today, across the United States in nearly every African-American community, millions of parents are striving to do all that they can to ensure that their children receive the highest-quality education possible. In many cities and towns, the public school dropout rate is now declining among African-American students. This is the perfect time to reaffirm the critical importance of attaining a good education. The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), we believe, offers African-American parents more opportunities to get involved in determining the quality of education for their students at the local level. Once again, even while there are more legislative debates in the U.S. today concerning funding for education, until a different law is enacted, ESSA is the law of the land. Our task is to encourage more parental awareness, involvement and engagement. What we are hearing from African-American parents from the West Coast to the East Coast is that they need more information concerning how each state is planning to respond to the mandates that the new ESSA law requires. The National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA) reaches more than 20 million African-Americans per week, and the feedback that we are receiving from interested parents is very telling and instructive. Education is a priority issue, and parents in our communities are “fired-up and ready to go!” Black parents today are becoming more involved in parent-teacher association (PTA) meetings in record numbers across the country, because of the prevailing un-
certainties and challenges concerning the funding and accountability of public education in America. That’s the good news.
Parental Involvement We have always advocated for more parental involvement in the education of our children. Yet, the bipartisan passage and enactment of ESSA is now being undermined and challenged by some of the most ultra-conservative members of Congress; some education advocates believe that their opposition to ESSA stems from lingering resentment toward former President Barack Obama, who signed the bill into law in December 2015. The law is currently being implemented state by state. Simply put, we cannot afford to be silent about the education of our children. As a parent and grandparent, I know personally how important every day and every year of education is to the development of one’s life and career success. In our communities, we all know that it takes a village to raise a child successfully, but that village must have an adequately funded and high-quality, effective public school system for the village to do its job with respect to the education of every child in the village, without discrimination and unequal educational opportunities and access. Thus, let’s keep standing up and speaking up at PTA meetings. As parents, let’s demand the implementation of ESSA to help bridge the educational gaps caused by prior inequities and poor funding. The future of the village and the future of the nation are at stake. Education is the key to empowerment. Let’s remain vigilant and active. This is not the time for passivity. All the children and youth of our communities deserve a better education and life. Dr. Benjamin F. Chavis Jr. is the President and CEO of the National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA).

DR. JEANNE PORTER KING GUEST COLUMNIST
“I feel the most confident when I am well-rested.” That was the comment from a senior leader in one of my influence workshops. Influence is a critical component of leadership competency and every leader who influences must do so with confidence. Harvard Business School professor Rosabeth Moss Kanter, in her book of the same name, says “confidence consists of positive expectations for favorable outcomes.” When we show confidence and self-assurance, the people we lead come to trust the actions we take on their behalf and on behalf of the organization and institutions in which we lead. Those actions, in turn, help lead to the achievement of desired goals. Whether you recognize it or not, we all need confidence boosters, because the systems in which we work and lead can provide plenty of confidence busters that can deflate our sense of self. From “demoters” and “dingers” who try to tear down our ideas to highlight their own, to co-workers who interrupt us and overlook our contributions, confidence busters can shut us down and cause us to withdraw. Confidence boosters, however, are those things or people or circumstances that buoy our level of self-assurance at work and give us that internal sense that we have what it takes to face a given task. Confidence-boosters help us stay engaged, take initiative, and offer ideas and opinions that benefit everyone. For many people, for instance, a confidence booster is the ability to recall successes and to apply those skills and lessons from that success to a current challenging situation. The belief that “I’ve won before at this game, I can do it again” actually buoys our spirits and motivates us to face the challenge with optimism or a “can-do attitude.” For others, framing actions in terms of purpose and meaning boosts confidence. Purposeful leaders maintain a strong conviction that our decisions and actions have significance. These leaders hold a positive expectation that we are making a difference in the lives of the people with whom we work or for whom we provide a service. So how might rest boost our confidence? That business leader went on to explain that when she is the most rested, when she has adequately cared for herself, she can quite confidently move through her day and face the many challenges with assurance she is putting her best self forward. As I thought more and more about this
leader’s comment, I thought that perhaps confidence is not so much a feeling, but a mindset, a way of thinking, and rest enhances our thinking! Then I realized four things rest, and self-care, in general, do for us that are quite confidence-boosting. Rest enhances clarity of thought. When we are rested, we tend to be more clear-headed and can more calmly maintain positive expectations. Tired, overworked people just don’t have the capacity to ward off the internal worrier. Rest improves concentration. A lack of focus can undermine any activity you are engaged in, causing you to be a little less assured about your contribution to the task at hand. For example, the lack of concentration increases the tendency for you to miss information in meetings, especially nuanced information. So much of what we do as actual or aspiring leaders hinges upon the ability to decipher political codes of the organization. Rest helps improve memory. I don’t know about you, but I have experienced my confidence bubble inflate when I have recalled specifics of conversations and meeting agreements that others have forgotten or not noted. And I’ve also felt the frustration of being so overworked, meeting untenable demands and deadlines that I have forgotten some very basics of my craft. Regardless of the narrative I’ve told myself about why it happened, it didn’t make me feel very good about my work. It didn’t deflate my sense of self, per se, but it did deflate my confidence in moving forward the same way I had been operating. Rest improves decision-making. Many studies show that sleep deprivation can lessen decision-making effectiveness. It goes to reason then that getting adequate rest coupled with being able to make quality decisions in the first place will enhance your outcomes. I am reminded of the last time I took a caffeine supplement in college to pull an all-nighter for a physics final exam. When I got to the exam I was so exhausted, I couldn’t recall any of the information that I had crammed into my head. I learned then that my “unrested” brain did not test well! To this day, I know that a tired mind is not effective. So, thanks to my seminar participant for reminding us all that rest can indeed not only be a tool for facing challenges, but it can also serve as a booster to enhance our ability to navigate our work world with confidence and assurance.

Dealing With Tax Deductible Charitable Donations By Constant W. Watson III Defender Contributing Writer
Can Small Groups Work in the Black Church? JOHN J. RICHARDS GUEST COLUMNIST
S
mall-group ministries are a normal part of church life in many churches today. Whether churches choose to call the ministry small groups, life groups, or community groups, the ministry is designed to get members and guests connected to the life of the church. The draw, especially in larger churches, is to make big churches feel small. North Point Ministries in Atlanta created their small groups because they felt “circles were better than rows” (i.e., small groups impacted spiritual development more significantly than weekly services). Last year, I worked at a larger Black church in the Chicago area. I wanted to help develop a small-group ministry in the church. As the leadership thought through small groups in the African-American context, I made an alarming discovery. I read an excerpt from an interview referenced in a Christianity Today article. The interview asked a ministry team of a multi-ethnic church in Chicago about contextualized small groups. In it, the pastor of community life pointed out that “small groups aren’t as important to other ethnicities as they are to white people.” The church pastor agreed, saying, “White people rely on small groups to connect. Other ethnicities form community more organically . . . non-whites aren’t as eager to set up structures and systems like small groups.” Wait, what? Is it true? Are Black people small-group adverse? I felt like my research project was doomed from the start. Then I remembered something.
Small Groups Before Small Groups I grew up in a small Baptist church in Georgia. Every Sunday morning, my stepfather would drive me and four groggy siblings to Sunday school at our church. The Sunday school met an hour before www.chicagodefender.com
services started. It taught small classes of students ranging from preschool to adult attendees. We sang the Sunday school anthem Onward Christian Soldier, learned biblical narratives key to God’s redemptive story, and had graduation ceremonies akin to moving through the public school system. It was a rite of passage. Once a thriving institution, Sunday school attendance is declining in historically Black churches. Some African-Americans feel that Sunday school is only for children. Others don’t feel they have time to attend Sunday school — many of which are held before services each Sunday. Some Black churches experience one of two problems. They: 1) Have dwindling — or non-existent — Sunday school attendance numbers or 2) Have a hard time establishing a small-group ministry. Many larger churches have eliminated Sunday school, instead opting to go with the children’s church format of many contemporary, white churches. I believe individualism has taken a toll on small groups in the Black Church.
Fighting Against Individualism The church and community are ordinary means of grace through which God sanctifies believers. Somewhere along the way, many Black churches have struggled to keep the communal DNA of historically Black churches. Scholar Dale P. Andrews notes: “The individualism endemic to the age of Enlightenment did not spare Black religious life. Though Black churches nurtured a communal form of care, American culture remained axiomatic to the often ‘unreconciled strivings’ of African-American ‘double-consciousness.’ Thus, the Black Church emphasized personal salvation and religious piety under the impact of American individualism.” I believe individualism has taken a toll on small groups in the Black Church. Dwindling Sunday school numbers communicate the opposite narrative of Northpoint’s “circles are better than rows” philosophy. Because Black Church attendance has remained relatively steady (compared to
majority culture contemporaries), it communicates “rows are better than circles.” Have any Black churches figured out how to fight against this individualism?
Concord Church I discovered at least one church that has figured out the small group code — Concord Church in Dallas, Texas. Dr. E.K. Bailey is the church’s founder and is well beloved in the African-American community. He is known as the “Godfather of Expository Preaching.” Before all is said and done, he might well be known as the “Godfather of Black small groups.” Today, Bryan Carter serves as senior pastor at Concord. The church has over 8,000 members and a thriving smallgroup ministry. In fact, 50 percent of the church’s men and women are active in small groups. Concord has systematic small groups that help foster growth and development — proving that Blacks can connect in this way. Granted, Concord has a different approach from the small groups of majority culture contemporaries. For example, many of their small groups meet on-site, while many majority culture small groups gather in homes or off-site. But it works for them. The former small groups’ pastor at Concord revealed the secret sauce in a 2014 interview with the Leadership Network. “For us, small groups are not an initiative,” says Concord small-groups pastor Jeremy Williams. “It’s our way of life, it’s how we grow people.” That’s it. Small-group ministry is a way of life. Concord sounds close to winning the fight against individualism Andrews addresses above. And close to the way the Black community has thrived socially in the face of decades of oppression and injustice. Not only can small groups work in a Black church, but as we see in Concord Church’s case, they can thrive. John J.

If taxpayers gave money or goods to a charity in 2016, they may be able to claim a deduction on their federal tax return. Here are some important IRS facts about charitable donations: 1. Qualified charities. Taxpayers must donate to a qualified charity. Gifts to individuals, political organizations or candidates are not deductible. To check the status of a charity, use the IRS Select Check tool. 2. Itemize deductions. To deduct charitable contributions, taxpayers must file Form 1040 and itemize deductions. File Schedule A, Itemized Deductions, with a federal tax return. 3. Benefit in return. If taxpayers get something in return for their donation, they may have to reduce their deduction. Taxpayers can deduct only the amount that exceeds the fair-market value of the benefit received. Examples of benefits include merchandise, meals, tickets to events or other goods and services. 4. Type of Donation. If taxpayers give property instead of cash, their deduction amount is normally limited to the item’s fair-market value. Fair-market value is generally the price they would get if the property sold on the open market. If they donate used clothing and household items, those items generally must be in good condition or better. Special rules apply to cars, boat and other types of property donations. 5. Noncash Charitable Contributions. File Form 8283, Noncash Charitable Contributions, for all noncash gifts totaling more than $500 for the year. Complete section-A for noncash property contributions worth $5,000 or less. Complete section-B for noncash property contributions more than $5,000, and include a qualified appraisal to the return. The type of records they must keep depends on the amount and type of their donation. To learn more about what records to keep, see Publication 526, Charitable Contributions. 6. Donations of $250 or more. If taxpayers donated cash or goods of $250 or more, they must have a written statement from the charity. It must show the amount of the donation and a description of any property given. It must also say whether they received any goods or services in exchange for the gift. Remember, for every tax problem there is a solution. Constant W. Watson III, CPA, CTRS, is both a certified public accountant and a certified tax resolution specialist.
