A young Black man using the power of the vote at the polls. By Mary L. Datcher Defender Senior Staff Writer As the Obama administration counts down to its final curtain call in less than three months — we are forced to wonder — will we witness another African-American president in our time again? It was a historical, major milestone that gray haired baby boomers felt with emotion as decades of blatant racism washed over Black Americans and our ancestors. With the general election less than a week away, history will be made once again with the possibility of Americans electing the first woman U.S. president or the first reality-show television star. Either way, the question remains — how does this affect African-American communities? In Illinois, according to the 2015 U.S. Census Bureau, there are about 14.7 percent African-Americans in the state. With a little over 5.2 million Cook County residents, 24.2 percent are African-Americans. Although the Hispanic population is climbing rapidly with an increase of 2.5 million undocumented immigrants entering the U.S. since President Obama took office, African-American voters are still considered a major driving force in elections. Democrats are focused on maintaining their hold on the White House with their candidate, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and splitting Republicans’ begrudging support of Donald Trump. But as each campaign works for voters in battleground states, Illinois is going through its own battle of campaign races.

“As charter schools continue to pop up, empty school buildings that once were the pulse of Black neighborhoods stand as symbols of our broken communities.” There are some hot-button topics that will affect people of color, not just on a federal level but through our state and county legislation. Illinois is the only state that has not passed a budget in its fiscal year and will be moving toward two years, as the war between Gov. Bruce Rauner and Speaker Michael Madigan influence one of the most expensive elections in Illinois history. How does this play out for Black Illinois residents? In 2014, the general election win of Rauner was no mistake. His clutch of the highest government office in Illinois was won because out of almost 1.4 million registered voters in Cook County, only 696,403 ballots were cast — less than 50 percent turned out at the voting polls. Low voter turnout for former Gov. Pat Quinn played a role in his loss in the 2014 election. According to WalletHub, Illinois ranks tenth compared to 48 states that speak to Black political engagement. This data includes Black voter turnout and registration during the most recent presidential and midterm elections, measuring proportional representation of Blacks in state and national party conventions.

02 November 02 - 08, 2016 • THE CHICAGO DEFENDER

With reported lines at early voting polls, Democrats and Republicans are relying heavily on strong voter turnout swinging their way in the presidential race but also gaining the U.S. Senate, House of Representatives, State legislature and county seats — including the judges. Top Five Major Issues That Affect the Black Community

Jobs

One of the top issues in our community is unemployment. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, unemployment in Illinois was 6.8 percent compared to California at 8.1 percent in 2008. In the 2016 annual report, unemployment has dropped to 5.5 percent, compared to California, 5.3 percent. In the U.S., the overall percentage of unemployment show 4.4 percent of whites are jobless compared to Blacks at 8.3 percent. White men holding at 4.1 percent, white women at 3.8 percent, Black men at 8.3 percent and Black women almost twice as high at 7 percent. African-American youth between 16 to 19 years old are at high numbers, reflecting 27.2 percent across the country who are without employment. In the past eight years, there has been a slight improvement in Cook County with 6.1 percent jobless residents compared to a 6.4 percent in 2008. Nearly over half of African-American workers earn less than $15 an hour, with many states at the minimum-wage standard of $7.25 an hour. Democratic presidential candidate continued on page 7

FRONT PAGE JUMP publicans, are staunch critics of the ACA, stating premiums will be raised in 2017. Health insurance premiums will be raised for those in a higher household median, with taxes being raised to cover low-income households. Studies have shown taxpayers will pay more money for uninsured individuals who have unexpected or existing health conditions than if they had an active health plan in place.

Election 2016, continued from, Page 02

Hillary Clinton has gone on record advocating for the hourly wage increase, whereas Republican candidate Donald Trump’s platform is to create job growth with a “pro-growth” tax plan, a new modern regulatory framework and America-first trade policy — none of which explains what this means to raising current minimum-wage requirement. Is it important to maintain jobs in the U.S.? Yes, it is, but it’s just as important to have jobs that give citizens a quality of life to provide for their families. Supporting a minimum wage increase will also provide financial stimulus into the local economy among neighborhood businesses.

Health Care

This year marks the fifth year of the Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare. The program pushed aggressively by the Obama administration and House Democrats was rejected at every turn by the Republicans. Signed into law in 2010, more than 16 million Americans have obtained health care, with young adults being the highest card carriers. In the African-American community, health disparities are se-

Education is among the primary issues Black people need to consider as they vote. rious with top risk indicators being fatal causes of death — heart disease, diabetes, breast cancer, prostate cancer and HIV-related illnesses. Since the implementation of HealthCare.gov open enrollment, there have been improvements to the online site to assist people to get health insurance. There are penalties for those who don’t purchase an affordable health in-

surance plan, but there are also options for people. The downside — the more money you earn, the more money you will pay for premiums. Clinton has discussed the importance of Obamacare, but also adjusting key reforms to keep it affordable for citizens. This is detrimental because federal funding is allocated for CountyCare — a program managed by the Cook Coun-

ty health care system in Illinois. The program had more uninsured Medicaid patients in the last year with the assistance of federal dollars. In 2014, patient enrollment rose to 46 percent. The decline of individuals without health insurance was 32.3 percent in the first four months of 2015. Trump, along with other Re-

In the last year, the battle between CTU, CPS and concerned parents have gripped news headlines. How state legislators represent their constituents’ interests also includes educational funding. Since the closing of 52 CPS schools in predominantly Black communities, it has had a sad and dismal impact on our neighborhoods. Families continue to move out of Chicago, concerned about providing a safe environment for their children’s travel to and from home. But as charter schools continue to pop up, empty school buildings that once were the pulse of Black neighborhoods stand as symbols continued on page 5

of our broken communities. While CPS and Mayor Emanuel report success stories for year-round education for K-grad students, increased high school graduation rates, in addition to free college tuition for CPS students to attend all City Colleges, with a 3.0 GPA or better — pension funding has cut into educational funding. There has been a reported drop of close to 11,000 fewer CPS enrolled students — parents finding alternate education or relocating to the suburbs. This year, the state budget stalemate threatened universities that rely a great deal on state funding, such as Chicago State University, Northern Illinois University and Western Illinois University. While college students were met with the possibility of their school year disrupted by state budget cuts, thousands of Illinois parents were without child care assistance.

Criminal Justice & Reform

Each state has set forth different constitutional laws to criminalize individuals who break the law. However, the most damaging U.S. law passed was the Violent Crime

and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 under President Bill Clinton. During one of the worst drug epidemic periods in the U.S., the bill known as “Three Strikes, You’re Out” set the stage for the next two decades of mass incarceration of Black and Brown people. There are roughly 2.3 million people incarcerated in U.S. prisons, 25 percent of the world’s prisoners. According to The Sentencing Project, in Illinois, there were close to 48,278 in prison in 2014. For every white person jailed, there are about nine Blacks incarcerated. Public safety has become a top issue among voters as the death toll rises related to gun violence and gun-control laws. Unfortunately, Chicago has taken center stage with having surpassed both New York City and Los Angeles with the murder toll rising to 580 at the end of October 2016. The dynamic of how each legislative branch from the federal, state and county general elections play out will be the beginning of redesigning the blueprint of our law enforcement and justice system. Who we elect as judges is imperative in how cases are managed and legal biases toward people of color

The criminal justice system is skewed heavily against Black people. are eliminated. As we lose more young Black lives at the hands of gang violence — the demons of the Chicago Police Department were on full display during the Jon Burge trial. Not only did this case open up Pandora’s Box of police misconduct cases, but a journalist’s persistence led to a court-ordered release of the police dashcam T:10” of the Laquan

McDonald murder. The Department of Justice’s investigation of this case and inquiries of others has reinvigorated voters to protest, march and to vote out Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez, raising Democratic candidate Kim Foxx to a national spotlight. Foxx and State Sen. Kwame Raoul have advocated for criminal

justice reform, beginning with the decreasing sentences of non-violent offenders. In addition to reforming the Violent Crime and Law Enforcement Act legislation, former Secretary of State Clinton has proposed to reissue federal resources to fight violet crime instead of smaller maricontinued on page 10

Your Vote Comes on the Backs of Others “Even with all the racism in our faces, Baby Boomers remained optimistic as a people to work toward achieving a goal of greater diversity and equality for all.”

E NOTES By Kai EL’Zabar

Defender Executive Editor

Baby Boomers have been portrayed in many lights as the generation with increased educational, financial and social opportunities, and therein are often described as a generation of optimism, exploration and achievement. These particular defining characteristics crossed racial and ethnic lines compared with previous generations as a consequence of the times. Though the Boomer generation saw increasing social and economic equality, they also came of age in a period when the country was frequently torn by differing views on politics, war and social justice. The Baby Boomer generation witnessed and participated in some of the greatest social changes in the country’s history during the 1960s and 1970s with the U.S. landing the first man on the moon, the Civil Rights Movement, and the Women’s Movement; the Vietnam War, political protests; and we would be remiss if we failed to mention the impact of the presidential assassination of John F. Kennedy, the assassinations of two major Black leaders Malcolm X and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and presidential candidate Robert Kennedy; counterculture hippies, sexual revolution, Motown changed the Black/White relationship to music, and the rise of the Black Power Movement. This gen-

eration experienced more dramatic shifts in educational, economic and social opportunities than any other to date. The face of the workplace began evolving from a fairly racially homogenous, paternalistic environment to one of increased racial and gender diversity. With increased Black, Latino and female workers in place, the workplace slowly began to reflect the rapid political and social changes of the nation. This generation coined terms such as the “glass ceiling” and the “equal opportunity workplace” and created jobs that began using personality profiles to build awareness of how to get along with all co-workers. Even with all the racism in our faces, we remained optimistic as a people to work toward achieving a goal of greater diversity and equality for all. All this we pursued through our knowledge of how democracy worked, respect for others, a sense of decorum and social and professional etiquette. We have been referred to as the ‘Me’ generation because of the differences in our behavior from that of our parents. We worked, saved, and spent our money differently and had fewer children in pursuit of a lifestyle. We look at ourselves as possessing a strong work ethic, unafraid to put in a hard day of work, self-assured and independent, team-oriented, disciplined, competitive, goal-centric, resourceful, mentally focused yet compassionate and capable of empathy. We value our democracy and freedom of speech and uphold the right to vote with the highest re-

gard. So what happened and how did we manage to raise Millennials who we want to pretend raise themselves? Too often I hear us asking what happened. Then the long list of all that’s wrong with the Millennials is given. They are the Me, Me, Me generation, they’re lazy, entitled, and self-obsessed narcissists. They have also been described as open-minded, liberal, self-expressive, upbeat, and overtly passionate about equality. That solves nothing and certainly doesn’t advance the agenda. However, I can see how and why they are how they are. We are all products of our time, our parents, communities, social status, education, etc. We emerge adults with the influence of all those elements of integrity and values intact or not. If you’re not taught, then you don’t know. It’s simple. All mammals must be taught how to survive in the world.

Make Children Understand

So here we stand at the next phase of the world’s future and we have youth — our children who we raised or didn’t raise, saying that they are not going to vote. We are most certainly responsible for that.

Letter to the Editor Beverage Tax Bad for Business The Cook County Board of Commissioners has proposed a regressive beverage tax, a new, penny-per-ounce tax on common beverages families purchase in the grocery store like sports drinks, teas, lemonades, sodas, juice drinks and even diet soda. A 1 cent per ounce tax would increase the cost of a 99 cents 2-liter bottle by 68 cents, a nearly 70 percent increase. A 12-pack would be increased in cost by $1.44. As a board member of the South Holland Business Association (SHBA), I work with the board to promote the interest of over 170 local businesses. Being an advocate for local businesses has been more important than ever, considering that

Now is the time to pull out all the stops and do your darnedest to convey what you have failed to communicate before. These children have to understand that they do not get to profit from the sweat of our brow, the labor of our sacrifice and sit on their short list of laurels at home (which may be a diploma or a BA earned on your dollar) and say, “Oh well, whatever!” Let me share what a friend shared with me. My elected official friend’s son was an early Bernie supporter and never wavered in his support. He told his mother, “I’m not voting.” She said, “Son, I can’t tell you how to vote, but you will vote. You will vote because the only reason you exist as you do; educated, son of two educated parents, middle class, well traveled, and articulate is because you stand on the shoulders and ride on the backs of those who looked into the future and said you ain’t heavy, you’re our future, free and self-determined, so they sacrificed no matter the cost, for some, their lives so that you can vote. The right to vote did over the past year businesses have been hit with new legislation and taxes that directly impact them. This includes rising property taxes, which heighten rent for most businesses, paid sick leave, and dealing with the highest sales tax in the nation. A beverage tax is just another discriminatory tax that small and local businesses cannot afford. Living so close to the border of Indiana, I have seen many businesses in my community suffer as customers continue to cross state and county lines to buy cheaper products. A Cook County beverage tax is simply giving families another reason to buy their groceries outside of Cook County. A decrease in sales could force many of my members to let go of their employees or even shut down. Sadly, I have even seen businesses leave Cook County because they cannot afford to flourish here. As a country, we should be advocating for small businesses and entrepreneurs, not creating obstacles like a beverage tax.

not come free. “Your father and I have sacrificed for you, our parents and their parents have all put in the work for you to have the life that you have. We were the spooks that walked through that door and found a cold, unyielding world. But here we stand firm for you. You will not ruin my future political aspirations because you think it’s OK to not vote. You will not give your power away because you think it’s in integrity. It’s not. It’s narcissistic. "How dare you tell me that you will not vote and expect me to confront and face the world you choose by not voting and expect us to be there for you. So you will vote. You will return to this house with an ‘I voted sticker,’ or you will pack your things and leave.” BAM! There it is.

The SHBA is grateful for the impact that the non-alcoholic industry has provided in Illinois. The beverage industry provides 9,475 high-paying jobs, $819.5 million in wages and $1.5 billion in state and federal taxes every year. That’s a direct economic impact of $6.2 billion. More than 90,000 jobs in restaurants, grocery stores, convenience stores, movie theaters and more rely on the industry -- all of which could be hurt by a proposed tax. I understand the position the Cook County Board is in, but hurting small businesses is not the solution. As a business association director, I have to be a voice for Cook County businesses and say enough is enough. The Cook County Board needs to find another solution besides a beverage tax to fix the budget deficit, not burdening Cook County residents with a tax that will destroy good-paying jobs and hurt small businesses.

Sometimes these murmurs occur when: •Physical activity or exercise •Surgery •Pregnancy •Fever •Not having enough healthy red blood cells to carry adequate oxygen to your body tissues (anemia) •An excessive amount of thyroid hormone in your body (hyperthyroidism) •Phases of rapid growth, such as adolescence Children are known to have a heart murmur heard by their doctor at some time in their lives and may disappear over time, or they may last your entire life without ever causing further health problems. The most common cause of

abnormal murmurs is congenital heart disease. Congenital heart disease occurs when the heart, heart valves, or blood vessels attached to the heart do not develop normally before the baby is born. Some babies are born with a combination of heart defects. Common defects that cause murmurs include: •Congenital septal defects, which are holes in the wall (septum) that separates the right and left sides of the heart. They account for more than half of abnormal murmurs in children. •Congenital valve defects, which include narrow valves that do not allow enough blood to flow through them and leaking valves that do not close properly. Infections and other conditions that may cause murmurs include: •Although rare in the U.S. rheumatic fever, however a strep throat infection if left untreated can cause rheumatic fever, leading to permanent damage to the heart. Prompt and complete treatment is required. •Endocarditis is a serious disease that can lead to permanent heart damage. It is usually caused

by a bacterial infection.

How to Manage Heart Murmurs •Eat a heart-healthy diet with reduced amounts of saturated fat and cholesterol, and control your weight. Follow your health care provider’s recommendations for treating high blood pressure, high cholesterol or diabetes. Stop smoking. •Have regular check-ups for your heart: •Have your blood pressure checked every year. If you have diabetes, heart disease, kidney problems, or certain other conditions, your blood pressure may need to be monitored more closely. •If you have diabetes, heart disease, kidney problems or certain other conditions, your cholesterol may need to be monitored more closely. •Moderate exercise is one of the best things you can do to keep your heart, and the rest of your body, healthy. •Always consult with your health care provider before beginning a new exercise program.

TAKE BACK YOUR HEALTH There’s nothing sweet about sugary drinks. Overconsumption is directly linked to our children developing chronic diseases, like diabetes and heart disease, as well as health issues like tooth decay. It’s only fair that a sugary beverage tax would help put money back into health-related programs for kids and their families. A better, healthier future for our community starts now.

juana possession. Addressing supporters at a rally in Fort Lauderdale, she says, “We’re going to do everything we can in the remaining days of this election, but also afterwards, to make it very clear there’s a place in America for every one of us. Everyone deserves to have a place, and we’re not going to shy away from taking on injustice, and that includes systemic racism, sexism, prejudice against other people – because when someone is being treated with bigotry and discrimination, that opens the door for everyone, then, to be subject to the same kind of mistreatment.” Everything from reforming criminal bond procedures in Cook County court rooms to dismantling the “school-to-prison” pipeline will be on the line on Nov. 8.

Economic Development & Commerce

The Great Recession of 2008, leading to the spiraling housing market, was beyond repair for thousands of homeowners. So many abandoned homes and buildings are still left dormant in already economic hemorrhaging Black communities. As the Chicago real estate mar-

ket regains its footing, homes and condo sales have risen again, becoming a seller’s market, but for many the damage is irreversible. What we are looking for is fair and affordable housing without displacement. Gradually, Black communities are changing. As new retail businesses and property values rise, so does the worry of gentrification in neighborhoods such as Bronzeville, Washington Park, East Garfield and near West Side areas where predominantly African-American residents have called home since the Great Migration. The remapping of aldermanic and congressional districts has resulted in a shift of neighborhoods that once held some of the highest number of Black constituents. The demolition of CHA housing projects, such as Cabrini-Green, have been replaced by single townhomes, moderate retail businesses and new faces walking their freshly groomed dogs. Across town, a stretch of grassy land along State Street south of 47th St. lay vacant where the Robert Taylor Homes were home for nearly 45 years for thousands of Black families. Over time, the housing projects were breeding grounds for crime, violence and

drugs – leading to CHA demolishing the projects that once nurtured a solid sense of community for many working-class families. The result of dismantling these projects has pushed out thousands of African-American residents to neighboring suburbs, gradually pulling economic resources from neighborhood businesses. One of the issues of concern from business owners is the growing overhead expenses. As taxes increase with local, county and state, it impacts hiring employees, health care, financial resources and qualifying for MBE/WBE certification. As more businesses are persuaded by our elected officials, community stakeholders and organizations to invest in communities that would greatly benefit, TIF funds are essential in helping to revitalize our neighborhoods that once stood financially independent in the 1950s- early 1980s. There is no question, there is an abundance of issues that affect our community, but each area of interest has a profound influence on how we vote. These issues have touched us directly or indirectly, whether it’s a parent or grandparent losing their home to foreclosure, a brother or sister in-

Solutions for Filing Back Taxes By Constant W. Watson III Defender Contributing Writer Most people who have IRS problems haven’t filed in a few years. It’s a common problem. You are not alone. Don’t be embarrassed. Nearly 10 million people have delinquent tax returns. In all my years of practicing before the IRS, I’ve seen people who had a rough patch in their life that kept them from filing and paying their taxes. IRS problems happen to good people. Someone gets sick and they can’t work, someone loses their job. It’s terrible. There’s no money to pay the taxes one year, so they don’t file, and the person is afraid to file after that. They don’t want to get caught and they certainly don’t want to end up in jail. But worse than not paying your taxes is not filing your return. It’s against the law! You may be asking, “Is there anything I can do to get my life back?” Yes there is! You can get your life back. First you have to decide that you want your life back. You have to decide that you aren’t going to take this anymore and that you want to fix it. Once you make the decision that you want help, and you no longer want to live in fear, or hide from those dreaded IRS notices, phone calls and visits — you will have tak-

en the biggest step in getting your life back on track. Don’t let the IRS bully you into hiding under a rock, in the closet, or under your blankets. There are many options and ways to get your life back. Even better yet, there’s a way to protect your savings and your paycheck, a way for you to keep your car! The laws have changed over the years. There are laws to protect taxpayers nowadays. Years ago you were just at the mercy of the IRS. But now you have a chance to get your life back. You could opt to represent yourself before the IRS. There is the offer-in-compromise program. Some people do go that route. But representing yourself before the IRS is like going to court without a lawyer. I wouldn’t recommend that. Or, you can hire someone who knows all the ins-and-outs and navigates the IRS maze on a daily basis. You can hire someone who knows how to protect you and your rights. Once you take that first big step and decide you are done with sleepless nights, you need to make the second-biggest decision — hiring a competent professional who cares about you and is an expert taking on the IRS. Believe it or not, there are new laws that have gone into effect to help financially strapped taxpayers today. The IRS announced their “Fresh Start Initiative,”

which allows more taxpayers than ever before to settle up with the agency. Now is the time to take advantage of these less-stringent, more flexible programs before the IRS changes its mind again. Remember that for every tax problem, there is a solution. Constant W. Watson III, CPA, CTRS, is both a Certified Public Accountant and a

Beverage Tax on Sweet Drinks By Erick Johnson Defender Staff Writer Coca-Colas, Pepsi and Sprite are all soft drink brands that for decades have been popular among Black consumers in Chicago and America for generations. But health advocates have expressed concern that soft drinks have also become an unhealthy habit that has contributed to larger waistlines and rising obesity among Blacks. Now, under a proposal by Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, soft drinks will also get more expensive. Preckwinkle has proposed a penny-anounce sweetened beverage tax for consumers in Cook County. She said the plan could help Cook County and thousands of Blacks who struggled to stay healthy and in shape. But her plan has drawn criticism from beverage companies and consumer organizations who are already weary of the county’s string of taxes that were passed in 2015 in Cook County. Preckwinkle said her new proposal could benefit Cook County and residents with weight problems. But in a phone interview with the Chicago Defender on Oct. 27, Preckwinkle said the real reason for proposed beverage tax is to close a $173 million deficit in Cook County’s $4.4 billion budget for 2017.

Some of the beverages that will be impacted by tax. “I don’t want to mislead you. This is a revenue-generating idea, but this also benefits the consumer health,” Preckwinkle said. “We had three options. 1. Raise property taxes, 2. Raise sales taxes, or 3. Add a sweet beverage tax.” The sweetened beverage tax would increase the cost of pop by about 72 cents for a six pack of soda, and about 68 cents for a two-liter bottle. The tax would be applied to fountain drinks and beverages that include artificial sweeteners. The tax would generate $74 million in the first year, Preckwinkle said. The tax proposal does not include 100 percent fruit juice, water, milk and baby for-

mula. Preckwinkle said she is meeting with McDonald’s franchise owners about how the beverage tax would affect fast-food restaurants. If it passes, Cook County will be one of several governments to pass a sweetened beverage tax in recent years. This year, Philadelphia became the first major city to pass a soda tax. Despite the beverage industry’s multimillion-dollar campaign to block it, the Philadelphia City Council approved a 1.5 percent ounce tax on sugar and diet beverages. A recent study by the American Journal of Public Health found that after Berkeley,

California, passed the country’s first big soda tax in 2014, soft drink consumption in the city went down. Similar results were reported in low-income communities in San Francisco and Oakland. Preckwinkle also cited a report from the World Health Organization (WHO). The organization in 2016 said there is evidence that shows taxes on sugary drinks help prevent obesity and diabetes. But opponents of the proposed tax said the move would hurt the soft drink industry. The American Beverage Association has been running television and radio ads as Preckwinkle seeks to drum up support for her proposal. However, the proposal is in danger of fizzling before the Cook County Commission. Some County Board members are weary of passing another tax. There is already a 3 percent tax on retail sales of soft drinks in cans or bottles. There is also a 9 percent tax on the wholesale price of fountain drink syrup On top of city and state taxes, Cook County increased its sales tax on cigarettes in 2013 by $1. Commissioners also passed a 3 percent amusement tax on ticket-reselling websites and a 1 to 5 percent tax on firearm ammunition. On top of this, Chicago — the seat of Cook County — has the highest sales tax in the nation among major cities with 10.25 percent.

Congressman John Lewis (center) leads the Sit-In Over Gun Control June 22 at the House in Washington. To his right is Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

Rep. John Lewis Visits Chicago With Duckworth By Kai EL’ Zabar Defender Executive Editor Congressman John Lewis, born outside Troy, Alabama, to sharecroppers, grew up on his family’s farm and attended segregated public schools. There, as a young child, he heard the words of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. on radio broadcasts and was moved and inspired by his leadership and the activism surrounding the Montgomery Bus Boycott. During that time, being of an impressionable age, he made a decision to become a part of the Civil Rights Movement. In 1960, Lewis became one of the 13 original Freedom Riders. As a student at Fisk University, Lewis organized sit-in demonstrations at segregated lunch counters in Nashville, Tenn. In 1961, he volunteered to participate in the Freedom Rides, which challenged segregation at interstate bus terminals across the South. Lewis risked his life on those Rides, many times by simply sitting in seats reserved for white patrons. The congressman was severely beaten by racist mobs and arrested by police for challenging the injustice of Jim Crow segregation in the South. As chairman of SNCC, in 1963 he was named one of the “Big Six” leaders charged with organizing the March on Washington, along with Whitney Young, A. Philip Randolph, James Farmer and Roy Wilkins. At the March, Dr. King delivered his celebrated “I Have a Dream” speech. Lewis also spoke at the March and is its last remaining living speaker. At 23, he was the youngest speaker that day. One of the most memorable moments in Lewis’ life of service was in 1965. Then chairman of SNCC, Lewis was a driving force in one of the most influential moments of the Civil Rights Movement. Lewis, with other SNCC and SCLC activists, led over 600 peaceful, orderly protesters across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, on March 7, 1965. On their way to Montgomery, the marchers were attacked by Alabama state troopers in a brutal, bloody confrontation that became known as “Bloody Sunday,” which celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2015. News broadcasts and photographs revealing the horrid cruelty of the segregated South helped hasten the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Since making the choice to participate in the Civil Rights Movement, he has remained at the vanguard of progress for human rights, social political change in America.

Consequently, Lewis became one of the most courageous individuals to emerge from the Civil Rights Movement and continues to dedicate his life to public service, protecting human rights, securing civil liberties, and building what he calls, “The Beloved Community” in America. He assumed office Jan. 3, 1987, and is the dean of the Georgia congressional delegation. His district includes the northern three-quarters of Atlanta. He has served as a Chief Deputy Whip since 1991 and Senior Chief Deputy Whip since 2003. He has demonstrated that courage as a member of the U.S. Congress as recently as June 22, 2016, when he led House Democrats in a Sit-In Over Gun Control. About that, upon visiting the Chicago Defender, the congressman told us about that moment. “I led the sit-in quite frankly because I’m tired of our babies dying by gun violence, and so I appealed to those elected by the American people, both Republican and Democratic, to do the right thing. There were many notables that joined us. Then House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, House Minority Whip Steny H. Hoyer, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Sen. Kaine, Sen. Chris Murphy, Sen. Dick Durbin, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, Rep Joe Courtney, Rep. Robin Kelly, Rep John Warmouth and others. Tammy Duckworth was there. “That’s why I’m here. I think it’s imperative that we vote more courageous people like Tammy Duckworth, (currently Democratic senatorial candidate running against incumbent Sen. Mark Kirk) who recognize the values and what’s right and good for the American people. We need fearless representation by people unafraid of opposition. And I can tell you Tammy’s smart, and is not afraid to stand up for what she believes is good for the people.”

Gun Reform

Duckworth said, “I listened to the people, Republican and Democratic, and they want gun reform. I was honored to join Congressman Lewis in the fight for what the American people want. The same people who have said that they will vote Trump — Paul Ryan and McCain, no matter the offenses Trump’s made to women, war heroes, Muslims, the disabled and more, dismissed the sit-in effort as a ‘publicity stunt.’ ” On the matter of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s offensive remarks about women, the impact it has had on the elections, Duckworth said, “I continued on page 23

www.chicagodefender.com

John Lewis, continued from, Page 22

think that it has unleashed the thinking that has always been there but kept under wraps.” According to Duckworth, Trump’s unfiltered barrage of disrespectful verbiage toward all people with whom he has issues has given permission to others held captive to the rules of etiquette, protocol, decorum and correctness to let it all out. Duckworth spoke candidly on her observation of the Republicans. “Not all Republicans reflect Trumpism, because there are some who have stepped across the bipartisan lines and worked with us to accomplish certain things. But it is very obvious that white men (to whom Trump speaks directly) are the leadership of the Republican Party. When you look at the committees they lead, you see white males as committee chairman of the 114th Congress. Women are the exception. That does not represent America.” When Democrats controlled the Senate, women led a record nine committees, including male bastions like the Appropriations Committee, which dispenses billions in federal dollars, and Intelligence, which oversees the government’s secret national security apparatus. Republican takeover of the Senate has also cost women powerful committee leadership posts and presented new challenges to their wielding of power. Now there are only two Republican female committee chairwomen: Ms. Murkowski and Sen. Susan Collins, Republican of Maine.”

Women Standing Up

Congressman Lewis weighed in: “I think that the Republicans fear the changing America and feel threatened by it. America has more people of color than it has white; women have joined the workforce in larger numbers than ever before and the Republicans fear the future of what that might look like.” Donald Trump is quoted as saying, “Putting your wife to work is a dangerous thing.” And it appears that many Republican men agree. Duckworth addressed the importance of women: “Women are too important in our American culture. Many women are heads of household and most women are working mothers. American elected officials should represent that as well as the different races, ethnicities and religion. Working together is the only way we can better learn to understand each other and recognize what we share in common and work towards bridging any other gaps.” Duckworth said that women have contributed too much and are no longer accepting the disrespect that has come with being a woman in the past, noting that it has been a part of the culture leaving women who were outnumbered feeling forced to accept the disrespect. However, with more women in the workforce to support each other, there is a new sense of empowerment. Men can no longer simply get away with saying inappropriate things to women at the workplace and having it be accepted as the norm. Women like Former Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson charged in a lawsuit that she was fired because she refused Roger Ailes’ sexual advances, and Andrea Tantaros, another former female Fox News host, says in a lawsuit filed in August that she was sexually harassed by former network chief Ailes and other www.chicagodefender.com

top executives, are sending the message that no longer will women tolerate being berated, belittled or sexually harassed and keep quiet. Although he denied the charges, Ailes resigned in July after the initial lawsuit was brought up. Duckworth mentioned that last Thursday during the debate, her opponent, Sen. Mark Kirk, made an inappropriate comment after she described her family’s history of military service. This he did after all the flak Trump has gotten from his Access Hollywood video, which captured him making lewd remarks about his sexual assault upon various women. She said, “He apologized by Twitter Friday and I accepted his apology, but it should never had been said.” Duckworth is correct. It should not have been said. His remark about Duckworth’s heritage cost him an endorsement. The Human Rights Campaign pulled its support from Kirk and is now backing Duckworth in the Senate race, marking the first time they’ve ever revoked an endorsement. After Duckworth described her family’s military history, she expressed that her family has served since the beginning of America and said that she is a “daughter of the American Revolution,” and noted she has “bled for this nation.” Kirk said, “I forgot your parents came all the way from Thailand to serve George Washington.” The president of the HRC, Chad Griffin, released an open letter that said, “Leadership is about more than the legislation one sponsors and the votes one casts. On Thursday night, Sen. Kirk’s comments about his opponent’s heritage were deeply offensive and racist. His attempt to use Congresswoman Tammy Duckworth’s race as a means to undermine her family’s American heritage and patriotism is beyond reproach,” Griffin wrote, adding that Kirk’s tweeted apology “failed to adequately address the real harm and magnitude of his words.” Congressman John Lewis says, “This current division caused by an undercurrent of fear in America is the worst I’ve seen. We were moving forward, but this divisive thrust we’re seeing is why we have to vote more officials into office that represent what more of America looks like and thinks like. People who understand ridicule, discrimination and the struggle. Tammy’s our woman for the job. She will fight hard to represent us, our best interest and in the interest of all people.” He continued, “Look, Hillary Clinton as President is going to need all the assistance we can give her. We saw how the Republicans stopped President Obama’s selection for the Supreme Court justice from moving forward. Now they’re saying that they will stop any choice of Hillary’s for Supreme Court justice. We can’t let them win. A party whose members support a man who disrespects and insults women, the disabled, war heroes, veterans, Gold Star parents, Muslims, Mexicans, Hispanics, Blacks, the media and the democratic voting process is a problem. So you see how important it is to turn around the representation in the House and the Senate? We have to make sure Hillary has congressional support to spearhead her legislature and to approve her recommendations for Supreme Court as well as uphold President Obama’s legacy.” THE CHICAGO DEFENDER • November 02 - 08, 2016 23

VOTING BALLOT

Guide for Voters in Local, State and National Elections on Nov. 8 The Chicago Defender has compiled a voter’s guide for the 2016 U.S. Congressional, Illinois state and Cook County races. A number of the candidates met with our editorial board in face-to-face interviews to share their view of matters of concern to the Black community. We deeply respect and appreciate the hard work that our ancestors and each candidate have put into this great experiment called democracy. Unlike any other, this election cycle is critical to our community because so much is at stake. Many doors have been opened leading to many opportunities, yet there remain lots of challenges that appear to require that we take a different path. Therefore, we encourage everyone to get out and vote this election cycle; however, we encourage you to take a good look at all the individual races – especially the judges – as all of our endorsed candidates are not necessarily Democrats. Having reviewed each candidate’s record, we present you, the voter, with a snapshot of each candidate, their platforms and the candidates we are endorsing in the 2016 election. In particular, Chicago Defender-endorsed candidates will have a star next to their names. President and Vice President of the United States Vote for 1 1 Donald J. Trump & Michael R. Pence Republican Candidate 2 Hillary Rodham Clinton & Timothy Michael Kaine * Democratic Candidate 3 Gary Johnson & Bill Weld Libertarian Candidate 4 Jill Stein & Ajamu Baraka Green Candidate United States Senator Vote for 1 8 Mark Steven Kirk Republican Candidate My stroke changed me, but I still fight for Illinois families. I was the first Republican to meet with Justice Merrick Garland and the first to demand Donald Trump get off the ballot. I fought to reform our Veterans Administration system, to protect whistleblowers and better fund veteran health care. 9 Tammy Duckworth * Democratic Candidate I’ve been out there working with homeless veterans for a very long time. The fact is people talk about homeless veterans as if it’s the post-traumatic stress or the drug use that is making them homeless, when the number one predictor of veterans’ homelessness is job loss. You don’t have a job, you can’t pay your rent. 10 Kenton McMillen Libertarian Candidate America is a great country, but we are

headed in the wrong direction. The federal government spends too much, we are taxed too much, and our military is busy protecting every country but ours. I am running to secure your country, your wallet and your freedom. 11 Scott Summers Green Candidate Economic and social policy: A Green New Deal — federal, state, and local programs that will put people back to work; $15 per hour minimum wage; promotion of community economics; single payer health care; equal educational opportunities via tax reform. Comptroller Unexpired 2-Year Term Vote for 1 15 Leslie Geissler Munger* Republican Candidate On a day-to-day basis, the primary role is to pay the state’s bills in a fair and transparent manner. In that capacity, I have paid bills on a first-in, first-out basis. However, due to the extreme financial challenges in our state, I have also prioritized payments for nonprofits and small businesses facing unusual hardship because of the state’s severe payment delays to help them keep their doors open. 16 Susana Mendoza Democratic Candidate I view the role of the comptroller as one that should be an objective watchdog, responsible manager of the state’s finances that contributes to a productive dialogue and helps to get the state on solid financial footing. 17 Claire Ball Libertarian Candidate As the state’s top financial officer, my focus will be on transparent and timely reports that give a clear understanding of the financial picture of the state government. 18 Tim Curtin Green Candidate I am the only candidate running who comes from a union background. If elected, my top priority would be to restore monies cut from education and needed social services. My campaign is based on restoring these funds and making traders and rich individuals pay their fair share of taxes.
