By Mary L. Datcher Defender Arts & Entertainment Editor On Saturday evening, Oct. 22, a final chapter was closed on an era that personified Black Chicago history. At 88 years old, Herbert Rogers Kent made his transition after being rushed to the hospital. His routine of doing his Saturday radio show on V103/WVAZFM was as natural as brushing his teeth. He didn’t have to think about it — it just flowed. We, as the Chicago radio listening audience, tuned in just as routinely as he showed up, never letting us down — giving us a bit of nostalgia while educating us about the soundtrack that has carved out our lives. Herb Kent was not only the longest-running radio broadcast disc jockey, according to the World Records Academy in 2009, but he was our voice. A voice that Chicago radio listeners have gotten used to tuning in since when he began his career at 16 on WBEZ radio station in 1944. Mr. Kent was born Oct. 5, 1928, a South Side kid from the projects who had a passion for entertaining and discovering great talent. In 1952, he moved over to WGES Radio, where he hosted a country and western show. Gradually, as his audience started to grow, so did his reputation, eventually accepting a position at WBEE as head announcer. During the late 1950s and 1960s, Chicago became a centerpiece for Black music with Rhythm and Blues record labels taking over the southern stretch of Michigan Ave. Blues singers such as Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon and Howlin’ Wolf were familiar faces along with Etta James, The Chi-Lites, The Dells and The Impressions, laying the blueprint for “Record Row.” During that period, Jerry “Iceman” Butler was a young singer and member of the popular group The Impressions — along with founding member Curtis Mayfield. The Cook County Board commissioner and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer recalls

The Defender honored Herb Kent with a lifetime achievement award at the 2016 Men of Excellence Awards Dinner. (Photo by Tito Garcia) his fondest memory of Mr. Kent. “Herb always engaged his audiences in intelligent conversation to accommodate. He would have hook it up to something that was educational — he was part of the family, and I don’t mean my family but to all families. “The last time we were together, we were co-hosting a show together and I said to him, ‘Age before beauty.’ He said, ‘Well, if that’s the case, then go right ahead.’ “ Butler laughs. During his 60 plus years in radio broadcast, Mr. Kent has worked for over 11 radio stations — each bringing his unique sense of humor, depth of knowledge, grace and appreciation for the listeners and fans he served. WVON, known in the 1960s as the “Voice of the Negro,” was owned by Chess brothers — Phil, Poland and Leonard. This era was not only groundbreaking in music but it was life-changing in the Civil Rights movement, and he used his influence on the air to touch a generation of Black people. Promoter and owner of South Side supper clubs such as The High Chaparral and The Godfather, Helen Wooten can
recall earlier days of Kent DJ’ing. She first met him when she was 10 years old at a record store on the West Side, but later would join him on Saturday night radio as the first female DJ at 14 years old. Later, Wooten would become one of the city’s top club owners and concert promoters. She said, “It was a great thing to know a great man for the last 58 years. We became friends during the early 1960s and started a business relationship, doing birthday parties. He would spin at my lounge every Tuesdays and Wednesdays for 15 years.” His popularity among young people was legendary rock star status, as he was known to visit Chicago area high schools. Record store retailer and proprietor George Daniels can recollect meeting Mr. Kent at a young age. “WVON started in 1963. I was a junior in high school and I would hear him then. A year later, I was dating Minnie Riperton and she worked at Chess Records, so when Chess bought WVON, I would see Herb and all the other disc jockeys that would come by Chess Records’ studio,” he said. “Once I opened the store around 1973, Herb would come by there. Robin was 3 or 4 years old at the time, this was at my first location, 3937 W. Roosevelt Rd.” Daniels pauses, “She was just a little baby — that was Herb’s pride and joy. She would go everywhere with him.” As his reputation grew, so did the habit of falling on the vices of the music business. Mr. Kent spiraled into a dark place of addiction, leading to a lengthy absence from the radio airwaves.

Why Hillary By Kai EL’ Zabar Defender Executive Editor Today, Wednesday Oct. 26, is presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s birthday. Happy Birthday, Madame Secretary. Wishing you a victory Nov. 8. In just 13 days from today the American people will decide on who will assume the office of president come January 2017. At that time the stress of the 2016 presidential campaign will be behind us and we will begin to look forward to living into the vision of the next president. The Chicago Defender looked at the candidates and assessed more than their platform, but also their professional experience, work ethic, education, civic involvement and public persona as well as their overall integrity and manner of person. As always, there are a selection of issues at stake in the presidential election and their impact on Americans. In brief, Clinton has a history of public service, advocating for the marginalized whether it’s women, children, voting rights for Blacks, the disabled, or fair housing and civil rights for all. Clinton has been on the front line. In contrast, her opponent’s past highlights a huge difference from her humble beginnings. Coming from wealth, he has shown little regard, compassion or consideration for the middle class or poor. He chose to take advantage of laws that would advance his personal interest rather than doing what is ethical, refusing to rent to Blacks, often not paying contractors, not refunding money to small investors on failed deals, thus disrupting their lives, and ultimately filing bankruptcy to avoid paying taxes. He has exhibited a limited vocabulary, lacking the ability to articulate a sensible platform or explain his plans for America in several areas. We have observed that he rarely answers a question directly, but instead deflects to another subject or resorts to one of his name-calling zingers targeting Clinton. He has demonstrated reckless, irresponsible behavior speaking directly to the Russians and directing them to hack America (Clinton’s emails), called for Clinton’s assassination; does not apologize, and in his arrogance has professed to know more about war than America’s top generals; brags about not preparing for the presidential debate — a platform that is used to provide insight to the thinking, plans and demeanor of the would-be president. Further, Clinton supports a woman’s right to choose, while Trump does not. She also opposes profiling and stop-andfrisk, while Trump defends the practices. Hands down we went with Hillary Clinton for President of the United States. EXECUTIVE AUTHORITY As a leader of anything whether it’s a club, agency, small business, city school system, university, church, corporation or the United States of America, at some www.chicagodefender.com
Hillary Clinton point the buck stops with them. And so it is with the President. We’d like to think that, that’s why the executive authority exists, because the founding fathers understood. We’d also like to think that although the power of the president is not to be absolute, the American people elect an individual who they trust will have the best interest of the people in mind. With that said, we elect a president who demonstrates intelligence, knowledge of the job, has experience, insight and particular skills and habits that can translate into the office of the presidency in a positive way. Among those things, we’d like to think that the president is open to be advised by those experts in their particular areas of expertise, one who will take seriously the responsibility of president and therefore read and prepare for all matters of business to be considered, discussed and acted upon and or resolved. We like to think that we elect an individual who respects the democratic process as well as understands it and will uphold the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and all other legal documents, whether it’s trade agreements or treaties. Still, when a president sets a major policy by edict without the approval of Congress, it usually sets off a highly charged debate involving the bipartisan divide on the position taken by the president. Such action is implemented when, in the case of President Obama, the Republicans in Congress swore not to support him and he had to take steps to get things done. However, if truth be told, the Founding Fathers understood this necessity when they rejected the authority of the crown. Lawmakers balk when a president, especially of the other party, usurps their authority through executive action. Defenders of executive authority say it’s the only way to get something done when Congress is gridlocked. Obama has used executive authority expansively, most notably on immigration. So let’s begin there. We support Clinton because she supported Obama’s unilateral move to curb deportation of millions of immigrants in the U.S. illegally. Donald Trump says he’d make sure Obama’s actions be retracted. However, continued on pag 4

some Republicans and Democrats are concerned that Trump is likely to act more imperialistic than not. MINIMUM WAGE Modest income gains and the rapid growth of low-paying jobs while middle-income work shrinks are factors that make the minimum wage a top economic issue for the 2016 campaign. Clinton supports raising the minimum wage at least to $12 an hour, even higher at state and local levels, and is willing to investigate creative ways to make it doable. Trump has said he supports an increase to $10, but thinks states should “really call the shots.” The federal minimum wage now is s $7.25. FACT: The typical household’s income has fallen 2.4 percent since 1999. (Obama took office in 2009.). WALL STREET REGULATION How to protect the country from overzealous banks in order to prevent another (2008) economic meltdown, noted as the worst upheaval since the 1930s Depression, which wiped out $11 trillion in U.S. household wealth, about 8 million jobs and more than 5 million families lost their homes to foreclosure. Under Obama’s leadership, the economic has recovered. More growth is needed. The goal behind the most radical overhaul of financial rules since the 1930s was to rein in high-risk practices on Wall Street and prevent another multibillion-dollar taxpayer bailout of banks. Congress enacted new rules in 2010, providing regulators with new tools to close banks without resorting to bailouts. Risky lending was restricted and a new federal agency was implemented to protect consumers from deceptive marketing of financial products. Republicans want the overhaul law repealed. Donald Trump calls it a “disaster,” saying he would dismantle most of it. Clinton says the financial rules should be preserved and strengthened. Clearly, whose interest is most important is defined by the candidates’ positions. Clinton is most concerned about the interest of the little people, upon whose backs the banks and Wall Street are founded. INFRASTRUCTURE America’s infrastructure is in need of an overhaul. How to pay for it and which projects take priority is the question. A reliable infrastructure system is important for the nation’s economy, safety and quality of life. As it is, it 1.) puts public health at risk, such as the lead-tainted pipes that contaminated the water supply of Flint, Michigan. 2.) Poorly maintained highways and congested traffic can raise the cost of shipping goods and the price consumers pay. Clinton wants to spend $250 billion over the next five years on public infra-
structure and direct an additional $25 billion to a new infrastructure bank to help finance local projects. CHILD CARE/PAY EQUITY It is likely that most American women earn less than their male colleagues according to the latest research. While the U.S. economy has improved, women and their families are still struggling to make the numbers work. Clinton wants a 12-week government-paid family and medical leave program, guaranteeing workers two-thirds of their wages up to a certain amount. Trump proposes six weeks of leave for new mothers, with the government paying wages equivalent to unemployment benefits. Both candidates propose tax relief for child care costs. Trump’s plan provides for a new income tax deduction for child care expenses, other tax benefits and a new rebate or tax credit for low-income families. Clinton says no family should spend more than 10 percent of its income on child care and has called for child care subsidies and tax relief offered on a sliding scale. Clinton also favors forcing businesses to disclose gender pay data to the government for analysis. In 1994 Trump said, “Putting a wife to work is a dangerous thing.” Women comprise about 57 percent of the labor force and many of them have young children. If they aren’t getting paid enough to make ends meet, more families will seek out government aid programs or low-quality, unlicensed daycares for their children. EDUCATION
04 October 26 - November 1, 2016 • THE CHICAGO DEFENDER
The country has some 50 million K-12 students. Educating them costs taxpayers more than $580 billion a year, or about $11,670 per pupil per year. Still, American schoolchildren trail their counterparts in Japan, Korea, Germany, France and more. Students face rising college costs and many are strapped with debt. Clinton has proposed free tuition at in-state public colleges and universities for working families with incomes up to $125,000 — free for families, that is, not for taxpayers. STUDENT DEBT More Americans are getting buried by student debt — causing delays in homeownership, limiting how much people can save and leaving taxpayers at risk as many loans go unpaid. Student debt now totals around $1.26 trillion. This amounts to a stunning 350 percent increase since 2005, according to the New York Federal Reserve. Out of the 43 million Americans with student debt, roughly 16 percent are in long-term default — a potential hit in excess of $100 billion that taxpayers would absorb. Clinton proposes no tuition for students from families making less than $85,000 who go to an in-state, public college. IMMIGRATION The future of millions of people living in the U.S. illegally could well be shaped by the presidential election. Trump wants to build a wall and deport illegal immigrants. Clinton, would overhaul immigration laws to include a path to citizenship, not
just legal status. It even appears that Mexican migration trends have reversed, with more Mexicans leaving the U.S. than arriving. CLIMATE CHANGE Clinton says climate change threatens us all and wants to implement studies and employment around the development of alternative energy use Measurements and scientists say Clinton’s Earth is much closer to the warming reality. And it is worsening. Trump says climate change is a hoax created by China. ROLE OF GOVERNMENT Clinton has vowed new spending on education and infrastructure that could grow government. She strongly supports “Obamacare,” which most small-government proponents see as overreach. Americans generally feel frustrated by the federal government and think it’s wasteful and could be smaller until they’re asked what specific services or benefits they are willing to do without. DEBT The federal government is borrowing about one out of seven dollars it spends and steadily piling up debt. Over the long term, that threatens the economy and people’s pocketbooks. Most economists say rising debt risks crowding out investment and forcing interest rates up, among other problems. At the same time, rapidly growing spending on federal health care programs like Medicontinued on pag 11

Trump Feeds off Fear, Hate and Ignorance “The point is that Donald Trump is a master at manipulating the fears of the sector of society that is displaced, unemployed, unskilled and poor.”
E NOTES By Kai EL’Zabar
Defender Executive Editor It continues to perplex many Hillary Clinton voters why so many repeat the sound bites heard over and over, “I don’t like or I don’t trust Hillary.” When pushed to justify why they support the Republican candidate for president, they rarely provide legitimate reasons. A colleague recently shared with me that her older brother and sister shocked her by expressing their support for the Republican presidential candidate. Her sister expressed that Donald Trump’s position on immigration resonated with her. She expressed observing a double standard where Blacks and Browns were concerned in association with the various social services and benefits awarded. From where she stood in California, American taxpayers were paying for the well-being of the children of illegal immigrants while denying the same for Blacks. Her brother described Hillary as a criminal but did not give an indepth explanation. The failure of voters to fact check, to take time to read up on the candidates’ campaign platform, backgrounds, their past work, their voting habits and their overall integrity is common, and too many rely on the popularized sound bites used by an opponent to appeal to the basic sensibilities, like “Crooked Hillary.” All the opponent has to do is touch a nerve that has an extended effect upon
the listener regarding something that they have issue with, and they are won over.

intentional he’s ever been when he spoke specifically and with great focus, directly appealing to the fear mongers — whites who are racists, white supremacists, bigots and misogynists.
A Liar, Clear and Simple He has been caught on tape making lewd and numerous inappropriate statements about women, veterans, heroes, the disabled, Muslims, Mexicans, Blacks and yet denies that he said it even with the evidence as proof that he did. He’s a liar, clear and simple. Still, people appear hypnotized by him. Worst is his appeal to the Russians and Vladimir Putin, whom he has praised over America and Obama’s leadership. In July he encouraged publicly, when the hacking of the Democratic National Committee’s emails made headlines, that Russia continue sabotaging the Democratic Party: “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing.” Trump delegates also fought to insert pro-Russia planks into the Republican Party platform at its national convention in July.

ly. And America let him get away with it. Gave him a pass. Really? And you want to grill Hillary about her emails? As recently as Monday, information has come out highlighting possible troubling connections of Trump to the Putin regime in Russia. The New York Post reported that, according to sources, the former campaign chairman Paul Manafort and ex “core” aide Rick Gates have financial ties to a biometric security company that lobbied the Putin administration on behalf of technology that would help it spy on its citizens. “It raises a lot of questions about national security and what should have been publicly disclosed to get a better handle on ties between the Trump campaign and the Russian government,” a White House official told the New York Post about Manafort’s lobbying ties. Most important, Trump’s potential ties to the Putin regime have been a significant issue in this presidential election. Trump has taken fire for praising Putin, most notably in September when he said, “He’s been a leader far more than our president has been a leader.” 8. We don’t print poetry. 9. Lots of groups ask members to send “campaign letters” to their local newspapers, but we don’t print them.

FRONT PAGE JUMP Herb Kent, continued from, Page 02
One day, he decided if radio wasn’t going to welcome him back, he was going to broker time and build his own show — on his own terms. The saving grace of friends and family gradually helped Mr. Kent get clean, sober and focused on staying true to what he loved — the music. Although he’s known to spin Soul music classics during the early 1980s — he was the first DJ on an Urban format to play punk music and premiere House mixes by young DJs, Wayne Williams and Jesse Saunders on then WLNR — what is now known as 106.3. Marv Dyson, former long-time general manager at WGCI, recalls the first time he brought on Mr. Kent to launch his show. “When I first took over WGCI, the first person I called was Richard Pegue. I didn’t know anything about programming. My background was in sales. Richard said, ‘You know, we need to get some names over here that people know and appreciate. We have to go after Herb Kent.’ ” During that time, Mr. Kent was still at WLNR with his brokered show. “I reached out to Herb we had breakfast and invited him afterward to come to work at WGCI AM 1390. He said, ‘Yes.’ The rest is history,” Dyson said. “Radio was so different then, it was so much fun. We were competing against Barry Mayo (WBMX) and he was building V103. The idea was to get all of the best people that I could get. Herb Kent was an institution in this town,” said Dyson. “I grew up listening to him, so I knew the power he had. But he’d been out of mainstream radio for so long that people had begun to forget him, but as soon as we got him back on the radio it was like this city came alive. The Wahoo Man is back! Radio personalities from around the city and across the country are shocked at Mr. Kent’s sudden passing, but more so, they are immensely grateful for having the pleasure of receiving kind words and advice from him. Mike Love, at the time of meeting Mr. Kent, was on the air doing with co-host The Diz at WGCI-FM Mondays through Friday in evening — a popular show geared toward younger listeners. “I remember George Daniels said, ‘Man, go see Herb Kent on the weekends. Listen to him and be influenced by him, let him know how much he means to you.’ Sometimes, we would see some of the older vets — when they had Dusties 1390 AM, so a lot of the WVON vets would be in the next studio,” As he reflects, he laughs, “They would be little less patient with us, but now, I understand them as a person who is now a radio vet myself why. The highlight of listening to his show was no other than the Battle of the Bands, where Mr. Kent was known to invite everyone from political officials, community and business leaders as well as entertainers to encourage callers to vote for the show’s guest or his competing band. No one knows better this than the founding member of the Chi-Lites, Marshall Thompson. He has been a guest www.chicagodefender.com

All of the artists were his friends and he knew everything about them.” Thompson first met the popular Disc Jockey in 1959 when he was attending DuSable High School. “We would ride around in his red Thunderbird car.” He recalls an argument among the group, and Mr. Kent invited them back to his house and his basement. He sternly addressed the young singers, ‘Ya’ll be better stick together.’ Thompson says, “We’ve been together as The Chi-Lites ever since.” Never missing a beat, Mr. Kent began to teach radio broadcast class at Chicago State University in 2011. There, he nurtured and mentored many students, receiving a first-hand account of his extraordinary history building a solid career in communications. His presence resonated throughout the CSU administration. Long-time friend Woody Henderson was a part of Mr. Kent’s inner-circle, meeting him in the late 1960s. Henderson was invited to be a part of the Electric Funny People, a comedy group that performed creative skits on the air and eventually at various clubs around Chicago. It was a friendship that would span over the next 50 years. “He asked me to go onstage with the Electric Funny People. We worked for years together doing comedy shows every night he was on the radio.” Henderson says when Mr. Kent came off the air at WVON, they practiced their act. Before there was SNL and Second City, radio listeners were treated to the creative comedy skits of the Electric Funny People. “We would work the comedy clubs all over the city.” The two men had much in common, being divorced and devoted fathers to their daughters — they remained close friends throughout his life. Aside from working on the comedy circuit with Mr. Kent, he also was involved with political and community causes such as Operation Breadbasket in the early 1970s. “Herb was very politically involved in his own way of dealing with it. He would encourage the community that we had a right to our equality. As far as human beings, I’ve never met a more decent human being than Herb Kent.”
Over the years, Herb Kent’s signature style of playing the songs, interviewing guests, creatively keeping connected to his listeners was pure class, and a teaching class for many familiar disc jockeys in other markets. The WVON disc jockey line-up, known as the “Good Guys,” was a household name and everybody who was anybody in the music business knew it was a launching pad for successful careers. Grammy award-winning singer Dionne Warwick released a statement: “I have
very fond memories of Herb Kent. He always told me that he would see my smile whenever he played my recordings. I, like so many others, will miss him. I had the privilege of calling him friend. My sincere condolences to his family. Rest in peace, my friend.” The Chicago Defender and Real Times Media honored him for his significant contribution to the African-American community at the 2016 Men of Excellence Awards Dinner with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Hyatt Regency in February. Mr. Kent, affectionately embraced as the Mayor of Bronzeville, celebrated his 88th birthday this month and worked his last on-air shift Saturday at V103. Unbeknownst to his listeners, family and friends, they would be treated to his final show and distinctive voice that greeted millions of fans around the world. In 2009, Kent released his autobiography, The Cool Gent: The Nine Lives of Radio Legend, co-authored by David Smallwood, where he describes in detail his life journey, surviving and doing something he passionately loved. “I think my success has had much to do with the way I appeal to my listeners as well as how I tap into the vein of what I call Cool School music. It doesn’t matter if it’s old school or new school — there’s a certain quality to some music that just makes it good, makes it timeless, makes it . . . Cool School.”

Laquan McDonald: 2 Years Later By Erick Johnson Defender Staff Writer On the chilly morning of Thursday, Oct. 20, several activists revisited the scene where exactly two years ago, a 17-year-old Black man spent the final minutes of his life with 16 bullets in his body. During their visit, there was no sunshine, and the gray overcast skies somehow fit the gloomy occasion. The man who died had a name, but activists were determined to keep Laquan McDonald from becoming just another statistic. Several pebbles were placed on the corner of 41st and South Pulaski, where McDonald died after his killer unleashed a hail of gunfire as other men watched the heinous act. While the Cook County coroner ruled the death a homicide, to many Blacks, it was a modern-day lynching that reminded many of the horrific murder of another Chicago Black teenager: Emmett Till. Emmett’s death in Money, Mississippi, was made known days after two men brutally killed him before they tossed his body in the Tallahatchie River with a cotton fan tied around him. It would be 385 days before millions in Chicago and around the world knew McDonald’s name and how he perished at the hands of his killer -- Jason Van Dyke, a Chicago police officer who had a history of complaints in his employee record. As Chicago marks the second anniversary of McDonald’s death, Van Dyke is fighting to maintain his innocence while activists are fighting for justice for a teenager whose brutal killing changed Chicago forever. Since that fateful day, much has changed in Chicago and much remains to be seen. The protests have dwindled, but the pain and anger that remain from a case that shocked the world are not going away anytime soon. No matter how many times one tells the story of McDonald’s life, it’s a sad one that never loses its sting. He died in front of a handful of Chicago police officers, a feared brotherhood of law enforcement officials who have been repeatedly accused of harassing and killing Blacks while policing the city’s streets. They watched and did nothing as Van Dyke killed a teenager, before his fellow officers gave a false narrative to protect him, but the real story became known with a video that city and police officials didn’t want anyone to see or know about. As McDonald’s death remained a mystery to millions, two people who knew about the case fought against three big institutions to get the story told. They are William Calloway, youth activist, and Brandon Smith, a freelance journalist. But while it took several days for the world to know what the two men did to Emmett in Mississippi, Chicago would wait over a year to find out what really happened on the night
Outgoing State Rep. Ken Dunkin speaks on the two-year anniversary of Laquan McDonald’s death at the spot Laquan died. (Photo by Erick Johnson) of Oct. 20, 2014. After the city’s top brass at City Hall, the police department and the Cook County state’s attorney refused to release a video of the shooting, the two filed a lawsuit that persuaded a Cook County judge to order the release of the video. When it came out Nov. 24, millions saw dramatic footage that refuted the narrative of the officers who said McDonald approached them with a knife. In the video, McDonald was walking away from the officer before he was gunned down. In offices and homes everywhere, viewers gasped and were horrified as they saw billows of smoke from bullets that tore into McDonald’s body.
Mayor’s Resignation Sought
Van Dyke was kept on the city’s payroll and continued patrolling the streets. After the video came out, numerous protests shut down parts of the city, including the Magnificent Mile. But while Chicago was mad, the city’s Black community was furious. Many blamed not only the mayor, police superintendent and the Cook County state’s attorney, but also the city’s Black aldermen, who many leaders said should have known about the video and $5 million settlement that was reached with the teenager’s relatives. Today, the anger has cooled, but the pain and emotions from McDonald’s brutal slaying remain. On the bright side, political activism is up and City Hall is listening. However, despite reforms, there are still calls for the mayor to resign. “Even though we have seen changes, there are still changes in the community that we demand to see. We need more than the conviction of Jason Van Dyke” said Calloway, who on Oct. 20 helped announce House Bill 6616, a new effort to recall the mayor and other city officials who were allegedly involved in the McDonald case. The bill will be presented when lawmakers convene Nov. 15. During the press conference, outgoing State Rep. Ken Dunkin and several Black faith leaders expressed their support of the bill.

“This is all about Laquan and that horrific act that took place here two years ago,” Dunkin said. What the world saw is why we are here today. This is the most gross form of injustice.” For Rev. Gregory Livingston, the president of Coalition for a New Chicago, the site where McDonald was killed rekindled painful memories. “As I’m standing here, I can see that video playing over and over in my mind,” he said. Later that day, a rally in front of the police headquarters at 35th Street and Michigan Avenue was held to mark the second anniversary of McDonald’s death. Several activists who spoke to the Chicago Defender still expressed pain from McDonald’s death and how the case was handled. While the McDonald case makes its way through the pretrial phase, some said they do not believe that Van Dyke will be convicted for killing the young man. “Justice hasn’t been served yet. It’s been a long process,” said civil rights leader Tio Hardiman. “There’s a lot of pain out here.” Another activist at the rally, 30-year-old Joseph Solomon, said the McDonald case was more than about a murder. “This wasn’t just a failure by one person,” he said. “This was the failure by many people.”
Shaping the City
Perhaps more than any case in recent Chicago memory, the McDonald case has dramatically shaped the city’s present and its future by forcing leaders to clean out its past sins. The Independent Review Authority, the nine-year old agency that disciplined just two Chicago police officers out of 400 cases, is gone. Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez was shown the door in the primary election. Garry McCarthy was fired before Eddie Johnson eventually took over the embattled police department. The one official who remains standing is the mayor. Since the video’s release, Emanuel has been fighting for his political life and the
trust of the Black community, but it has been an uphill battle. To the mayor’s credit, reforms have been made within the city’s police force. A new police review agency, the Civilian Office of Police Accountability, will be in place next year. Nearly 1,000 new police officers will soon be hired. And as part of his new anti-crime legislation, Emanuel plans to pump $36 million into mentor programs for Black males. With the support of the city’s Black aldermen, the mayor has weathered the stinging criticism of his leadership while steering the city through a crisis. While Emanuel has won praise from Black aldermen, leaders in the Black community say none of these changes would have happened without the McDonald case. The police department is also experiencing change as a federal civil rights investigation is underway. Police Superintendent Johnson has moved to fire five officers involved in the McDonald case. Striving toward transparency, Johnson’s department has released numerous videos of police shootings that occurred in recent years. Perhaps most important, Van Dyke has been charged with first-degree murder in the McDonald case, the first time in Chicago history that an officer has been charged with such a crime. In the most recent move on Oct. 12, defense lawyers for the second time were denied access to McDonald’s files. It was a setback for a defense team that seeks to paint the teenager as a troubled man who brought about his own downfall. While the victories are piling up, the pain is still there in the Black community. Although the protests have deceased, intense emotions from passionate activists have made it difficult for Emanuel to hold public meetings without being heckled or interrupted with phrases like “16 Shots!.” Blacks say what makes the McDonald case so painful and healing difficult is the prevailing perception that the mayor, Cook County’s most powerful prosecutor and the city’s police superintendent all worked together to cover up the crime. Many still believed it was because Rahm deceived the Black community to win re-election over Jesus “Chuy” Garcia in a heated runoff. Activists say while the mayor got another term in office, the Black community got nothing but humiliation and another life lost to a rogue police officer. Some Black activists say the fact that Emanuel is still in office is an injustice by itself. If he were Black, they say, he would have been forced out of City Hall. “Without these activists, Rahm [Emanuel] would have taken this to his grave had this video not been released,” Hardiman said. “I think what made this case different is that there were three institutions that covered it up. I think that’s what makes this case unique” said Rev. Ira Acree, pastor of Greater St. John Baptist Church on the city’s West Side. www.chicagodefender.com

Skimming From Retirement Plans In another job-loss scenario, a taxpayer withdraws funds from retirement accounts such as 401k plans or IRA accounts. They are attempting to maintain their old lifestyle while seeking new employment. They think that because of the loss of earnings they will have reduced tax liability and that they need to hold onto as much as possible of their income until the new job is found. Therefore, no taxes are withheld and the next tax return shows an insurmountable balance due. Another instance where I find that tax problems stem from other events is when a forgiveness of debt occurs. Taxpayers are often shocked to find out that they owe taxes because they have suffered
an economic reversal. For example, under the cancellation-of-debt rules, a problem that ended up in the loss of an asset through abandonment, foreclosure, or repossession can cost them tax dollars. The amount of debt that is canceled or forgiven in these situations is treated as taxable income by the IRS. Note that there are exceptions to this rule that apply in bankruptcy and insolvency. Further, there is an exception that may apply if the forgiveness is related to a personal residence. Remember, for every

HEALTH
Breast Cancer Among Black Women By Eleana Elan Defender Staff Writer Cancer researchers have known for at least two decades that Black women with breast cancer tend to fare worse than white women. Still, questions remain about the cause behind the Black-white divide. The new report, from researchers at the University of Pennsylvania, begins to unravel some of the issues by using an analytic method to filter the influence of demographics, treatment differences and variations in tumor characteristics, among other things. Breast cancer survival is, overall, three years shorter for Black women compared with white women. The explanation for this has been determined as being that Black women are most often diagnosed once their cancer is in an advanced stage, according to new research. The Journal of the American Medical Association reported findings that while a significant number of Black women still get inferior cancer care, the larger problem appears to be that Black women get less health care overall, and that screening and
early detection campaigns may have failed to reach Black communities. Data collected from Medicare patients tracked in the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results database analyzed 107,273 breast cancer cases, which included 7,375 Black women. The larger number of cases involving white women allowed researchers to find nearly perfectly matched controls against which to compare the outcomes of Black women with breast cancer. The findings were striking. Overall, white women with breast cancer lived three years longer than Black women. Of the women studied, nearly 70 percent of white women lived at least five years after diagnosis, while 56 percent of Black women were still alive five years later. The research indicates that more aggressive cancers among Black women do not explain the difference. Instead, the research indicates a troubling pattern in which Black women were less likely to receive a diagnosis when their cancer was at an early stage and most likely to have a positive outcome. Compounding the circumstances, a significant number of Black women also receive lower-quality cancer
care after diagnosis, although those differences do not explain the survival gap. The data show that Black patients are twice as likely to never receive treatment. The records of 12.6 percent of Black patients did not show evidence of treatment, compared with 5.9 percent of whites. Black patients were also more likely to have at least a three-month delay in receiving treatment. Among Black and white women with similar tumors, 5.8 percent of Black women had not started treatment after three months, compared with just 2.5 percent of whites. Interestingly, the introduction of new treatments has not narrowed the survival gap between the two groups. The report notes that while these improvements have enhanced the outcome for both white and Black breast cancer patients since 1991, Blacks still suffer at a greater number.
cer is far less likely to be cured. Among the white women, only 11.4 percent had latestage disease. One reason may be that the Black women feared losing time off from their jobs and put off seeing the doctor, or their lack of trust in the health care industry made them more hesitant to seek medical care. However, it was noted that in this particular study, all the patients had Medicare coverage. Still, Blacks were significantly less likely than white women to have seen a primary-care doctor in the six to 18 months before diagnosis, and they had far lower rates of cholesterol and colon cancer screening. Black women also had far lower rates of breast cancer screening — 23.5 percent had been screened six to 18 months before diagnosis, compared with 35.7 percent of white women. Black women with breast cancer were, overall, in poorer health than white women. Of the Black women studied, 26 percent had diabetes, compared with 12.6 percent of white women. Failing to see a doctor for screenings and regular checkups puts their health at risk. The importance of early detection has to be better communicated However, the authors wrote that the report may still understate the effect of lower-quality cancer care for Black women, in part because some treatment data are missing from the database it used. Black women, express your love for self, your mothers, sisters, aunts and daughters by encouraging breast exams and regular visits to the doctor.
“Black women, express your love for self, your mothers, sisters, aunts and daughters by encouraging breast exams and regular visits to the doctor.”
Disparities in Care
Even in solving the disparities in cancer care, any major effect would not have an immediate impact on the overall survival for Black women. The study showed that if Black women began receiving exactly the same quality and level of breast cancer treatment as white women, it would lengthen their lives by two to three months. The advantage of an earlier diagnosis and treatment for cancer would add two additional years of life gained among Black women if their health were better overall, as is the case with white women with breast cancer. Among the Black women studied, 20 percent received a diagnosis of Stage III or IV disease, when the can10 October 26 - November 1, 2016 • THE CHICAGO DEFENDER

care and the drain on Social Security balances caused by the rising tide of baby boomers could squeeze out other spending, on roads, education, the armed forces and more. It takes spending cuts, tax increases or both to dent the deficit. Lawmakers instead prefer higher spending and tax cuts (for the wealthy). Clinton, is proposing tax increases on the wealthy. But she wouldn’t use the money to bring down the debt. Instead, she’d turn around and spend it on college tuition subsidies, infrastructure and health care. TRADE In this angry election year, many American voters are skeptical about free trade — or hostile to it. The backlash threatens a pillar of U.S. policy: The United States has long sought global trade. Economists say imports cut prices for consumers and make the U.S. more efficient. Last year, the U.S. ran a $500 billion trade deficit with the entire world, a $334 billion of it owed to China Clinton initially supported Obama’s Asia-Pacific trade agreement as secretary of state, but after further review now opposes it. Trump vows to tear up existing trade deals and to slap huge tariffs on Chinese imports. The reality is that deals have far less impact on jobs than forces such as automation and wage differences between countries. Trump’s plans to impose tariffs could start a trade war and raise prices. SUPREME COURT The ideological direction of the Supreme Court is going to tip one way or the other after the election. The outcome could sway decisions on issues that profoundly affect everyday Americans: immigration, gun control, climate change and more. The court is split between four Democratic-appointed, liberal justices and four conservatives who were appointed by Republicans — although Justice Anthony Kennedy has sided with the liberals on abortion, samesex marriage and affirmative action in the past two years. The ninth justice will push the court left or right, depending on who is elected to office. Obama has nominated Merrick Garland to take Scalia’s seat, but the Republican Senate has refused to consider Garland’s nomination, in an effort to prevent a liberal court majority.

HEALTH CARE About 9 in 10 Americans now have health insurance, more than at any time in history. Millions of people previously shut out have been covered by Obama’s health care law. No one can be denied coverage anymore because of a pre-existing condition. However, Obamacare remains divisive. Whether Americans would be better off trading for a GOP plan is another question. A recent study found that Trump’s proposal would make 18 million people uninsured. Overall health care spending is trending higher again, and prices for prescription drugs — new and old. Clinton would stay the course, adjusting as needed. Republicans are united on repealing Obama’s law, but it’s unclear how they would replace it. INCOME INEQUALITY Income inequality has surged near levels last seen before the Great Depression. The average income for the top 1 percent of households climbed 7.7 percent last year to $1.36 million, according to tax data. That privileged sliver of the population saw pay climb at almost twice the rate of income growth for the other 99 percent, whose pay averaged a humble $48,768. Clinton has highlighted inequality in multiple speeches. She hopes to redirect more money to the middle class and impoverished. Clinton would raise taxes on the wealthy, increase the federal minimum wage, boost infrastructure spending, provide universal pre-K and offer the prospect of tuition-free college. VOTING RIGHTS Because of the rapid growth of minority populations, which in recent presidential elections have tilted heavily Democratic. Republican-controlled legislatures are tightening voter laws, placing limits on early voting and same-day registration, and imposing new requirements for IDs at polling places. In 2013, the Supreme Court invalidated a key provision of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. That provision had required states with a history of racial discrimination to get federal preclearance to change election laws. Clinton wants Congress to restore the Voting Rights Act and seeks a national standard of at least 20 days of early in-person voting.

Hamilton: The Broadway Hit Opens in Chicago By Mary L. Datcher Defender Arts and Entertainment Editor What I loved about Hamilton was the clever ability to tell the story of our country’s history in structuring the most important blueprint of our financial government — in a modern-day, culturally rich way — through various forms of Black music. Who knew what to expect being that there was so much fanfare around this unique interpretation of American history? A Hip Hop musical about one of our country’s founding fathers — Alexander Hamilton? Really? Will this be another watered-down version of what Hip Hop should sound like to theater savvy attendees, or will this be the type of Hip Hop I grew up loving — pure, organic, honest and raw? Hamilton is the story of the first United States treasurer told in a way that captures the historical recollections through the culture of Hip Hop, R&B and Gospel music. The mannerisms, the language and conversations that were documented in history but explained in a way that kept it as real as it got. From the opening number, “Alexander
Hamilton,” the jury was still out as the ensemble danced and rapped, setting up the audience for the lead-in storyline. But as each number progressed — it wasn’t just the diversity of music that had me on the edge of my seat — it was the talents of each character telling a story in a multi-generational way. The character of Alexander Hamilton, played by Emerson College grad Miguel Cervantes, did a great job as the lead, delivering the interchangeable faucets of what an experienced emcee would do from the timing and b-boy mannerism — giving 17th Century fashion couture a “new type” of cool. Although we are enraptured by his ability to carry the second-city debut of the Tony award-winning Broadway hit musical, it is the other leads of the ensemble that pop out. Joshua Henry, who plays Hamilton’s nemesis, Aaron Burr, displayed both worlds of spitting knowledge between the musical influences of Hip Hop, R&B and Gospel. In the second part of the play — his vocal range on “The Room Where It Happens” was hands-down the best number, receiving roaring applause from the audience.

But attendees travel from across the Chicagoland to attend, entertaining both young and old with their unique brand of talent. The circus features a multicultural line-up that includes a comedy Dog Act from Chile, Aerial Duet from Colombia, Pagoda Bowl Acrobats from China, Airborne
Motorcycles from California, Caribbean Dynasty from Trinidad and Tobago, Russian Bar from Cuba, Contortionists from Ethiopia, Magical Tigers and disco dancing Elephants from the United States. If you’re looking for the traditional circus where the animals are the focal point — well, UniverSoul is not that kind of show. Although the ensemble is from various countries around the globe, it heavily attracts a predominantly African-American audience, which over the years has gradually become more and more diverse. What makes this well-run, fine-tuned circus successful — audience participation. From the very start of the program, the high-strung energy of its ringmaster, Lucky Malatsi, keeps the crowd pumped up, introducing each act while maintaining law and order. The South African native practically has grown up with the circus since he was 10 years old, performing with a contortionist act with UniverSoul Circus since 2000. His special “hype man” style
Lucky the Ringmaster (Photo Courtesy of UniverSoul Circus) connects with the young kids and their parents, who are transformed into kids themselves for the next two hours. Throughout the show audience members are selected, pulled up into the center of the ring where parents get to showcase their dance moves. Along with the help of Fresh the Clowns, the Hip Hop quartet is a top favorite of kids as they rock mohawks, afros and multicolored dreadlocks, giving new meanings to the “cool clown.” If you think
your kid doesn’t know the latest Juju On Dat Beat, these guys will bring out their “ju ju” with a Beatles-like reaction from toddlers to teenagers alike. Remove the kids, along with the youthful trendy dances, and you have a very sexy show. UniverSoul has creatively found a way to keep both kids and parents transfixed in a tasteful manner. No doubt, there is “eye candy” from the beautiful dance performances of Caribbean Dynasty dancers, to the sensual

curves of Trinity (Balancing Hand Act) to the shirtless, attractive men of the Cuban Bar Act. As Lucky and Zeke the Sidekick guide audience members throughout the show, the animals are still the real “rock stars” bringing out smiles and finger pointing from the little ones — from the cute comedy dog act, to the talented disco elephants who keep their extraordinary balance on circular stools. If you haven’t had a chance to catch UniverSoul, the circus will run until Sunday, Oct. 30. But for those drivers who are on the city of Chicago boot list, then we highly recommend another form of transportation — the park is a hotbed for Department of Revenue vans. Also, don’t get lured into buying the lighted Minnie/Mickey ears and other enticing toys for the shorties before entering the big top tent. They will not allow outside toys, beverages or food. So bring a few dollars, patronize the concession stands and remember — it’s truly all about the kids.

Black Ensemble Theater presents Jackie Taylor’s “I Am Who I AM, The Story of Teddy Pendergrass,” directed by Daryl D. Brooks. Pendergrass was running neck and neck with Marvin Gaye as a sex symbol in the ‘70s. He slayed with cuts like “Turn off the Lights,” “If You Don’t Know Me by Now” and “Wake Up Everybody.” By 1982 he was on top of the world and at the height of his career when a car accident devastated his life, leaving him a quadriplegic. He recovered only to be restricted to a wheelchair, but continued to record, facing the challenge of his new circumstances. Pendergrass passed away in 2010, having lived a life demonstrating the greatness of the human spirit.

A project I’m working on has resulted in interviews with celebrated people about my favorite topic: memories about soulful traditions and recipes. I still hesitated before my appointment with Alicia Garza, trying to brush off what I knew my “very correct” mother would have said had she still been alive.…”Please, try to come up with something a little more important to ask the co-creator of Black Lives Matter than how much butter she adds to her biscuits,” I imagined Mom whispering. Reading an article by Jelani Cobb in the March 14 issue of The New Yorker helped me press on. Cobb quoted the bright, courageous millennial, born and raised in Northern California, as encouraging people to find strength by following their passion. “I’m in favor of people getting in where they fit in. Wherever you feel you can make the greatest contribution, you should,” she had said, addressing leadership challenges within the Black Lives Matter movement.
I understood this as permission to bring up family recipes … since that’s where I feel my calling, and the place to make my greatest contribution. When we met, I didn’t ask a trite question, such as how much butter she adds to her biscuits. Instead, I asked if she had ever heard of butter rolls, the beloved dessert passed down strictly from Black people with Mississippi roots, like her maternal grandparents, Mae Etta and Lynwood Buckhaulter from a community outside of Jackson named New Hope. No, growing up in Marin County, she hadn’t heard of butter rolls, but yes, she could imagine biscuit dough rolled into spirals then partially cut and pressed in a pan before being baked like a bread pudding. When we finished the interview, I thanked her for the work she was doing to keep the dream alive. “I am so grateful and proud of Black Lives Matter,” I said, adding, “If there is anything I can ever do, I offer sincere assistance.” She hugged me then said, “Thank you,” adding “There is one thing you can do.… Please send me the butter roll recipe.” Family Recipes Matter Butter Roll 2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt 1 cup vegetable shortening 1/2 cup warm water 1/2 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, softened 1 cup white sugar 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon each, ground: nutmeg, allspice 1/4 teaspoon dried mace 1 cup evaporated milk 1 1/2 teaspoons almond extract Heat oven to 350 degrees (325 degrees if using a glass baking pan.) Sift flour and salt together in a medium bowl. Cut shortening thoroughly with a pastry blender until mixture resembles pebbles or crumbs. Stir in water, pressing down dough with your hands. Roll out pastry into a large rectangle. Spread the butter evenly over the dough with a table knife, leaving about 1/2-inch unbuttered around all sides. Sprinkle the buttered dough with 1/2 cup of sugar. Set aside. Stir the cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and mace together in a small bowl. Sprinkle spices over the sugar. Roll up tightly from the long side, like a
jelly roll, pinching ends of dough to seal. Cut into 12 slices, not cutting through all the way to leave some of the roll attached. Spread the roll out, seam side down, fanning out slices and pressing down to flatten, in a two-quart buttered round or square baking dish with at least 2-inch sides. Set aside. Heat the evaporated milk and remaining 1/2 cup of sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat, heating just until sugar melts. Remove from heat; stir in almond extract. Pour the mixture over the rolls, leaving at least 1-inch of space to the rim. Bake until slices begin to brown, about 40 to 50 minutes in glass pan, 30 to 40 minutes in metal. Transfer to wire rack. Cool 5 minutes, before serving, spooning any of the liquid over the dessert as desired. Makes about 12 servings.

3 Presidential Powers You Should Know Before You Vote By Mae Ebert Defender Staff Writer Some people love to say that it doesn’t matter who is elected president. Such thinking could be farthest from the truth when you understand that ultimately the power rests with the people. That’s why it’s so important that you voice your choice with your vote. Fortunately, the U.S. Constitution limits power by imposing checks and balances on the executive, legislative and judicial branches of government to achieve the distribution of power across the government and prevent any one branch from going rogue. To best understand, note that the power of the purse strings does not come under the president, but is given to members of Congress, who approve the U.S. budget. But let’s keep it real. Despite the checks and balances of three branches of government, it matters a great deal who gets elected president. There are a sufficient number of presidential powers that are not checked by Congress. During his two terms, President Obama has expanded use of such executive powers, furthering a 30-year trend of growing influence by U.S. presidents. Using his executive power, the Obama administration has made the decision to not defend the Defense of Marriage Act preventing same-sex marriage. Enforcing laws passed by Congress is supposed to be one of the president’s duties, though Obama’s White House argued DOMA was unconstitutional in the first place. The basic integrity of he or she who holds the office of U.S. president comes into question because there are three other things a president can do without approval of the Congress.
Presidents Can Start a (De Facto) War Without Congress’ Approval There’s a fine line drawn here. Technically, the president can’t declare war independently of Congress’ approval. However, because he is commander-in-chief of the U.S. armed forces, every officer in every branch of the military ultimately reports to the president. They must act on his command. Consequently, the Korean and Vietnam wars were established at the president’s command to put U.S. troops into battle without official war declarations. The War Powers Act added provisions requiring the president to report to Congress after deploying forces autonomously. The constitution gives Congress the power to declare war, but presidents have, in fact, commanded the American military to partake in many hostile actions all over the world without getting Congress’ approval
Presidents Can Unilaterally Change Trade Agreements Trade is another area in which the president can act nearly unilaterally. It’s technically Congress’ job to regulate commerce with foreign nations; however, those powers have increasingly come under executive purview. History documents numerous examples of American trade legislation where Congress delegated authority to the president to negotiate with foreign countries. Indeed, presidents often shape trade policies without congressional approval. Most likely, this makes for a faster negotiation process since the president is often the one sitting opposite other world leaders. Trade deals do require approval. Yet, a president is free to modify and even undo existing trade deals at will — a distinction that some economists worry would make it easy for Trump to make good on his promises to scrap trade agreements. Obama, for example, has signed executive orders waiving trade restrictions for Belarus and restricting transactions with North Korea. And Obama has also begun normalizing relations with Cuba almost unilaterally. Trump has said “We’re going to stand up to China,” and has suggested introducing high tariffs on imported Chinese goods. That could start a trade war if China were to take retaliatory action — like hiking tariffs on U.S. products.
Presidents Appoint Judges and the People Who Run the Economy The death of Justice Antonin Scalia in February left an empty seat on the Supreme Court, which the Republicans chose to stop Obama’s right to appoint under his tenure. This means the next president will be tasked with finding his replacement. Presidents tend to select justices who are ideologically aligned with them, and the choice of replacement could have ramifications for major issues in the U.S., including same-sex marriage and health care. Now it is true that Supreme Court justices must be approved by the Senate, and the same is true for Cabinet positions. But — unlike with Supreme Court nominees — it’s rare for a presidential Cabinet nominee to be rejected. And while Cabinet members can influence policy, ultimately they must follow directives from the president. There’s more. Hundreds of appointed positions that do not require Senate confirmation are done at the president’s discretion. That’s a lot to consider ahead of the election Nov. 8. www.chicagodefender.com
