A VIEW FROM A PEW

A Leap Of Faith
“In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps.” Pr 16:9 NIV for us that pokes and prods and causes the discomfort that makes us move out of our comfort zone and into what he created us to be. When I look back on my life I can clearly realize those times when He was stirring my nest. After graduating from college in May of 1978 I returned home to Charlottesville, Virginia. After three weeks I knew I couldn’t live with my parents anymore. I realized I was no longer comfortable with my parents taking care of me. My “wings” had grown too big for the nest. I had left the nest four years earlier and experienced the world and its freedoms. I couldn’t go back to curfews and my parent’s constant reminder that “If you’re going to live in our house you are going to adhere to our rules”. By September of that same year I had packed my bags, against their wishes, and moved to Kansas City, Missouri, living on my own and enjoying life.
As young eagles begin to mature, the mother starts to “stir the nest.” With her talons and beak, she pulls at the fur and feathers, letting some of the sticks poke through. As the weeks go by, she does this more and more, making the nest uncomfortable for the eaglets, so that along with her increased prodding, when the time is right, they get uncomfortable enough that they eventually leave the nest to a new freedom that they could other wise have never experienced. Ever since I was a child growing up in Portsmouth, New Hampshire I had a feeling that
there was something more for me to do. I couldn’t put my finger on it but I knew I was destined to do something. “Comfort is the enemy of growth,” Sometimes it takes God’s poking and prodding, stirring the nest in our surroundings, to get us to move out from what we’re familiar with in order to experience greater things he has for us, our purpose in life. When we get too comfortable, we get complacent. To get to our purpose God may have us go through regular and often difficult stages of change in our environment. It feels uncaring early on, but in the long run, it’s God’s love
By 1989 I had been with the YMCA of the USA for ten years and was working as the Executive Director of the H.L. McCrorey YMCA in Charlotte, North Carolina. I was happy with my life and my career. In just ten years with the organization many of the career goals I had set for myself had been attained. But God again began to stir my nest. All of sudden I couldn’t stand my job. It got to the point where I knew there was something I was supposed to do but this was definitely not it. In June of 1990 I told
my supervisors that although I didn’t know what I was going to do I was resigning my position effective August 30th. One month later I received a call from Spurgeon Glenn who was at the time the chairman of the A.J. McClung YMCA, asking me would I be interested in serving as its Director. Having worked in predominately white YMCA’s my entire career I saw this move as an opportunity to share my experiences in programming and fundraising with a predominately African-American organization. I was excited again about the YMCA. Little did I know what I thought was “my plan” was actually Him, “ordering my steps”. I arrived in Columbus, Georgia on October 5, 1990 and in 1996, after serving close to six years with the YMCA He began stirring the nest again. Ironically it was Rodney Mahone, the current and first African-American Publisher of the Columbus LedgerEnquirer who got me my job as a sales representative with the Ledger in 1996. At the time Rodney was with the sales department and introduced me to the sales director David Fletcher. Life was great and sales were great for the next seven years and then here He comes once again stirring up my nest. I left the Ledger in December of 2003. With a desire to utilize the tools and skills I had developed at the Ledger, I sought out a position with the Columbus Times and began working with them
in February of 2004. Ten months later the stirring began again. This time He spoke to me directly. It didn’t matter that I didn’t have the experience to run a paper; I had Him. With a belief that this community was ready for, and in fact needed a paper that addressed the issues everyone talked about in private but were afraid to discuss in public, I took a leap of faith. On March 25, 2005 the Courier Eco Latino newspaper published for the first time and ten years later we are still here. I still believe there is more that He has in store for me but I know with out a shadow of doubt this is my purpose, my calling, my ministry. Today, ten years later, my nest, again has been stirred as we introduced our new quarterly publication; Courier Eco Latino, The Magazine, at the 13th Annual Women’s Empowerment luncheon sponsored by Davis Broadcasting, Inc. So whether you lost your job recently, gone through a divorce, or lost a loved one, ask yourself is He stirring my nest? As you feel the stirring of the nest, know that God has new heights he wants you to soar. It’ll take some risk on your part and along the way you’ll have to make some leaps of faith to get those wings doing what they’re supposed to do, but it sure beats spending your whole life stuck in a nest that has become to small to hold you.

Opinion/Editorial By George E. Curry NNPA Columnist
By Brother Love Special To The Courier
LBJ’s Defenders Cheapen His Accomplishments Lyndon B. Johnson has done more to help African Americans and poor people than any modern president. But his defenders are cheapening his legacy by inflating his accomplishments, which is an insult to the people – Black and White – who lost their lives fighting for civil rights. The first and most obnoxious example of a LBJ supporter becoming unhinged is Joseph A. Califano, Jr., President Johnson’s domestic policy adviser from 1965 to 1969. In a column for the Washington Post, he wrote: “In fact, Selma was LBJ’s idea, he considered the Voting Rights Act his greatest legislative achievement, he viewed King as an essential partner in getting it enacted – and he didn’t use the FBI to disparage him.” The idea of a Selma-to-Montgomery March actually originated in Marion, Ala., about 30 miles northwest of Selma, with the death of Jimmie Lee Jackson. Marchers were protesting the arrest of James Orange, a key Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) field organizer. In fact, they were marching from Zion Chapel Methodist Church a short distance to the jail when Jackson was killed by an Alabama State Trooper James Bonard Fowler. At the time, he was trying to defend his 82-year old grandfather, a scene vividly captured in the movie, “Selma.” The account is also recounted in Selma 1965: The March That Changed the South by Charles E. Fager. Instead of a traditional funeral, the idea was proposed to march to Montgomery and present Jackson’s body to Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace at the state capitol. Wiser minds prevailed and the idea was refined to hold a traditional funeral for Jimmie Lee Jackson and march 54 miles from Selma to Montgomery to demand full voting rights for Blacks. It was the death of 26-year-old Jimmie Lee Jackson that inspired the Selma to Montgomery March, not an “idea” floating around in LBJ’s head. Neither Califano nor anyone else is entitled to use the blood of the Civil Rights Movement to create a myth that is contrary to history and common sense. The most recent attempt to super-size LBJ’s legacy is the assertion that it was the former president’s idea to include Latinos in the Civil Rights Movement.

Let Members of Congress Live Like Other People
Opinion Dear friends, I have long said the citizens of Columbus, Georgia are in very desperate need of a revolution of the mind, meaning a spiritual renewing of the mind. Too many of our fellow citizens willingly allow deception and a whole bunch of other nonsense when it comes to what some of our officials in local government do business. Many of us have accepted the lies and deceit for many years now, but it is time for those of you that have been fast asleep to wake up and face the truth and realities of what is good and bad as it regards those officials in our city government. The reason many of you do not see or understand what I have been talking about over the years regarding the state of our local government, specifically some of our elected officials, is that you are either very much unconcerned as well as uninvolved, or you are one of those that have bought into the lies and deception hook, line, and sinker because you get something out of it. No matter which category you fit in, you are in a very sad state for a taxpaying citizen. We need more not less in this city. We are in need of much more empathy and less apathy. We need more amity and less enmity. In fact, we do not need apathy or enmity at all. However, as I have often stated, we most certainly need more love for one another, and I mean the love Christians are supposed to have in their hearts for all people. I am totally convinced beyond any doubt that what we need is God Almighty. God is the only answer for the problems I have been bringing to your attention these few years. In order to truly have love and respect for each other as human beings that is needed in this city, then we must first have to have a deep, abiding love in our hearts for God. God the Father will deliver us as He delivered the children of Israel out of bondage in Egypt. God the Father has exactly what it takes to to deal with the problems we have in our local government when it comes to the unfairness and the injustice that I know for a fact that has went on. What we must understand, however, is that to get the help of the Father we must first go through the Son of God, which is Jesus Christ. As we were taught in the days of our youth in the African American church and culture, we must definitely call on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ in times of trouble. Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. There is no other way to the Father other than our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. John 14:6 in the Word of God tells us that.
An Associated Press story noted, “While this week’s commemorations of the 50th anniversary of ‘Bloody Sunday’ may invoke memories of historic events in which the ‘real hero,’ as Johnson said, was ‘the American Negro,’ little is said about Johnson’s call

Congressman Jeff Denham (R-Calif.) couldn’t bring his French bulldog, Lily, on an Amtrak train. So when Amtrak funding came up for a vote, he inserted a provision that required one car on an Amtrak train to be designated a “pet car.” Pet owners will pay a fee to bring their furry companions on the train, and there are size restrictions to the pets that can travel. Still, this new provision is seen as a victory for pet owners who ride trains. Would this new provision have been proposed had Rep. Denham’s dog not been rejected from an Amtrak train? Republican members of Congress were warned by the Club for Growth and Heritage Action, fiscally conservative groups, that they should not vote to subsidize Amtrak. Would they have joined Democrats in voting $1.4 billion a year for the next four years had their Republican colleague made his pitch about pet travel? All too often, good legislation is only supported when someone with a personal agenda is able to add an amendment to further that agenda. Perhaps the pet cars make sense, but there might not be a pet car had not Rep. Denham pushed the agenda for his Lily. I’m not perturbed that he made the personal political. I’m just wondering what might happen if more members of Congress had to experience the same things as the rest of us. What if members of Congress were routinely rejected from receiving bank loans (unlikely given their average net worth of more than a million dollars and rising, compared to the $81,000 median wealth of a U.S. family)? Might they then not look at some of the rules that banks use to restrict access to capital? What if members of Congress were stopped and frisked occasionally? Might that not provoke examination of stop and frisk laws? What if members of Congress had to sleep on the street for just one night? Might they not consider the way our nation deals with the homeless? What if they had to travel hundreds of miles to obtain an essential medical service? Might they not, then, reconsider restrictions against abortion, a medical service many women consider essential? What if members of Congress had to survive on food stamps for even a week? Would that increase their empathy for those, some employed full time, who rely on food stamps in order to eat? Let’s not stop there. What if members of Congress were required to spend a week, without staff and handlers, in a strange community?

C OVER S TORY
March 19, 2015
Selma: The March Is Not Yet Over some of the old towns that we drove through that appeared to be stuck in time. As we passed by some of the old plantation homes, we thought back to the slaves who were torn from their homes abroad and forced to work on plantations far away from their birthplace. In many ways, the plantation homes and cotton fields were a powerful build up to the stories and lessons that we would be reminded of in Selma and taught us many powerful lessons.
By Dominick Perkins Special To The Courier A few months ago I began to hear rumblings about the 50th anniversary of Bloody Sunday and made a decision early on that I would be in Selma to, in my mind, celebrate the sacr i f i c e s m a d e t h a t d a y. Admittedly, I was excited by the pomp and circumstance of such a large event, the crowds, the celebrities, the powerful politicians, and national news coverage would all be a sight to see. As the event drew closer, I coordinated with my friends to work out the details of our departure, our day in Selma, and our return trip home. With those distractions out of the way, I began to contemplate the sacrifices of the foot soldiers who crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge on Sunday, March 7, 1965, also known as “Bloody Sunday, and thought about how their courage that day changed the course of American history. I ended up leaving from Columbus on my way to Selma with my good friend Teddy Reese, a local attorney, who works for the Georgia Appleseed Center for Law & Justice. We left early that Saturday on our trip to Selma and had discussions about
People from all over the United States also decided that they would make the trip to Selma. I had friends from Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, D.C. and other parts of the country who made it to Selma by different modes of transportation. While I certainly enjoyed running into friends, I most enjoyed meeting new people, young and old, who shared their life experiences, stories about their roles in the Civil Rights movement, and more often than not, why they chose to come to Selma that day. The stories varied from the Georgia State University English Professor who wanted her son to see the President speak, to a foot soldier of the Civil Rights era who proudly displayed that he had been arrested over twenty times fighting for equality. These stories were moving and taught that each person present that day had a unique perspective on the events of Bloody Sunday and a unique story to tell We arrived in the city of Selma to traffic backed up for miles by the tens of thousands of people converging on the city that day. We were greeted at every turn by helpful law enforcement officers local residents who were willing to answer questions and provide guidance to help us and the
many other people traveling that day get to their destination. After waiting in long lines of traffic for a little over an hour we parked and walked through Selma to our designated entrance. After receiving a few sets of bad directions we made it to our correct entrance and waited in line for around an hour to get through the metal detectors being run by the Secret Service. We entered into our section and noticed a large section to our right with well over 100 members of the media positioned to capture photographs and video of the President. It was a warm day and except for the curb there was nowhere to sit, which was complicated by a ban on liquids of any kind in that area. As the day moved on we were informed that because of circumstances outside of the control of the President that the speech would be moved up from noon to around two p.m., and while I certainly wasn’t happy with having to wait so long I knew that we were in for a powerful speech. A little after 2 the Presidents began to speak and talked about a series of topics related to the state of race relations in America, the importance of Selma, the voting rights act and many other important topics. He talked about the people who crossed the Endmund Pettus Bridge back in 1965 and noted that though most didn’t hold powerful positions they certainly were leaders of this country. He made mention of the recent Department of Justice report on Ferguson, Missouri that highlighted the poor treatment of citizens by the Ferguson Police Department and made some interesting comparisons between police treatment of the Civil Rights era and now. He recognized that though the behavior of the Ferguson Police Department might not be unique “it’s no longer endemic, or sanctioned
by law and custom. And before the civil rights movement, it most surely was.” The theme that stuck with me the most from his speech was that though things have changed for the better since Bloody Sunday our fight is not over. My favorite quote of the day was when the President said “Fifty years from Bloody Sunday, our march is not yet finished, but we are getting closer.” That quote
As I looked on social media the following day I noticed a picture that was posted of a KKK recruitment letter that was being left in some of the neighborhoods of Selma to turn the events of the 50th celebration of Bloody Sunday into a recruiting opportunity for an organization that breeds hate and works to tear at the fabric of our country apart. That picture made the Presidents quote
changed the focus of the trip for me away from being wholly based on celebrating the sacrifices of those before me to a reminder of the challenges that our country still faces and a personal recommitment to standing up to those challenges.

the Free and Accepted Mason’s, President of the Muscogee County Young Democrats and Campaign Committee Chair of the Young Democrats, Perkins has not only built a door for himself, but a passage way for others to follow. Although diversity in politics has improved, Dominick Perkins understands that white men still dominate at all levels, that’s why as a Political Consultant there’s never a time you’ll find him slacking during election time or in it’s off season. “In order for the most under served of our population to be heard, people like me, who work in politics and grew up as poor minorities, have a responsibility to be their voice in politics,” explains Perkins.
By Nadine Haralson The Courier It’s not always often that you will find a young minority truly interested in politics. Well, you may, but not one so heavily involved, with as much passion, purpose and with sincere dedication as Dominick Perkins. Born and raised in Columbus, Georgia and having grown up in Benning Hills, Dominick made the decision at a young that he didn’t want to become another statistical product of his environment. Holding on to that thought, in 2000 he graduated from Spencer High School, continuing on to obtain several degrees, an AA in International Affairs (Georgia Military college), a BS in Political Science (Georgia Southern University), and a Masters degree in International Relations (Troy University). “I’m just a firm believer, that if opportunity doesn’t knock, then build a door”, states Perkins. As a proud member of
When not out rallying for positive city officials, Dominick is encouraging the students of Vincennes University (Ft. Benning) where he’s the Political Science instructor to become more politically aware and engaged by offering them an opportunity to actually be a part of the process. “When I share my story I often see a sparkle in their eye.” Dominick explains that his biggest achievements are the successful campaigns he’s been a part of and knowing that he helped a good candidate get elected or reelected is his personal reward. “When an elected official I worked with helps pass a law, enact a new ordinance, or starts a new program that impacts the lives of middle class, poor and minority citizens, I feel a sense of accomplishment” says Dominick.” If the purpose of human life is to serve, show compassion and the will to help others, then Dominick Perkins is on the right path.

By Nadine Haralson The Courier With March being “Women’s Empowerment” month, I’d like to recognize one of the city’s very own young professional woman of achievement. A beautiful and kind hearted individual who is often known as a person who gives of herself tirelessly and effortlessly to those she comes in contact with while making it her goal to be a source of goodwill and encouragement. Shanet` Goodwin is a proud native of Columbus, Georgia. Graduating from Shaw High School, in 2011 she went on to receive her BS Degree in Biology from Fort Valley State University. Upon her return from college Shanet’ felt a strong need to embrace the professional culture and growing young professional scene. She currently belongs on several groups and organizations such as the Chamber of Commerce Young Professionals, Columbus Consolidated Government,
Often noted as an exemplary worker, and a person who goes above and beyond her job, Shanet’ has been awarded several times for the Aflac Way Honors at her place of employment (Aflac). This young professional “On the Move” finds time to run her own successful business, Faith Photography and an organization she cofounded, G.L.A.M (Girls Leadership Academy Ministry) a program that molds young ladies 4th-12th grade to be positive leaders, carry themselves with dignity, respect and to make a lasting impressions. “I strive to be the very best person I can, and impact the lives of not only young adults, but mature adults as well,” shares Goodwin, “being able to help serve the community is unbelievable.” Shanet’ Goodwin is what Proverbs would describe as a virtuous woman, but to herself she is just trying to live by her favorite quote “May the works I’ve done, speak for me.” Without a doubt her works are speaking loud and clear.

ices at St. Mark United Methodist Church on Whitesville Road. Each year the choir travels around the country during Spring break, in a fund raising effort. Remarkably, these students do not just tour with their hands - Tour of Zimbabwe in 2001 - Two European trips as Ambassadors of Friendship - First place in the 13th Annual American Negro Spiritual Festival, Cincinnati Music Hall, Cincinnati, OH. (1994) - The 1982 and 1983 World’s Fair - Annual tours throughout the
In the late 1930s and 1940s, choir members often traveled in station wagons and cars with student drivers, and in many instances, Rust College students were their own directors. Because funds were limited, and because of the then Jim Crow laws, choir members were forced to reside in the homes of alumni and friends. Miss Doxey and her choir were used as ambassadors and fundraisers for the College, and represented the school at various functions throughout the MidWestern United States and the South. The choir has continued to carry on many of the traditions from eras past, making friends and supporters of the college. Dorothy Lee Jones, former choir directress for the Greenville, MS Public School District, assumed her present position as
Directress of the Rust College A’Cappella Choir in August 2010. Ms. Jones served six years in the United States Marine Corps, graduated magna cum laude from M i s s i s s i p p i Va l l e y S t a t e University with a Bachelor of Music Education Degree, and earned the Master of Music Education from Jackson State University. Ms. Jones has a broad background in music which ranges from instructing and directing adult church choirs to formulating multiple high school choirs, and steering them through keen competition which has resulted in Special Achievement Awards and numerous outstanding honors. The purpose of the choir has been to serve as a public relations entity to help spread the good news regarding the college. No other organization on campus has brought more prestige and contributed more to the welfare of the college. With its years of accomplishments, it is no doubt that the A’Cappella Choir is vested in the hearts of thousands.

He personally invited me to organize the Latinos in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Massachusetts, and so I did.” King’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech – made two years before the Selma to Montgomery March – was a broad appeal for justice for “all of God’s children.” So it’s preposterous to suggest that it was President Johnson’s idea to include “MexicanAmericans in the struggle for equality.”

The provision to fund Amtrak passed 316-101, and it wasn’t a perfect piece of legislation. Members of Congress ride the high-revenue Northeast corridor (Washington to Boston), so despite the warning from their influential fiscal conservative groups, they choose to continue to support Amtrak. Still, they didn’t support using revenues from the heavily traveled Northeast corridor to subsidize less-traveled routes in cities that are distant from airports. This may mean that service in some smaller cities may be cut. Why not drop members of Congress into some of these cities and let them figure out how to get from one place to another? If we believe in the notion of a nation, we ought to have as strong an interest in the citizen in Washington as the citizen in a much smaller city.
The reality is that Johnson was anything but a civil rights advocate in Congress.
twenty-year record – against civil rights had been consistent.”
PoliticFact.com, the fact-checking site, noted that Robert Caro, LBJ’s biographer, said: “for eleven years he had voted against every civil rights bill – against not only legislation aimed at ending the poll tax and segregation in the armed services but even against legislation aimed at ending lynching: a one hundred percent record.
Luci Baines Johnson accepted an award from march organizers Sunday morning in Selma on behalf of her father, saying, “It means the world to me to know that a half-century later you remember how deeply Daddy cared about social justice and how hard he worked to make it happen.”
Those three laws forever changed the United States for the better. LBJ’s legacy is firmly established. He doesn’t need his supporters to lie about his record in order to enlarge his reputation.

activist, besides making you a stronger, better Christian, which is a very good thing. You will be honest and trustworthy as you go forth on the battlefield to fight for justice for others. You will be always objective. You will be fair to all whom you come into contact with in every situation, especially in dealing with our local elected officials serving in our state and local government. You will
always tell the truth about what is wrong and about the right thing to do to address the wrong and hopefully remedy the problem or problems. You will have the courage of your convictions, and demonstrate that courage every time out for all to see. Your feet will be firmly planted in integrity. You will be willing to die out before you sell out the cause of Freedom, Justice, and Equality for all peo-
ple, or betray any brother or sister. This is the warrior for freedom, justice, and equality you must be to be effective, and in a city like Columbus effective might be as simple as retaining your own integrity along with your sanity. It is just that bad here, and I kid you not.
Those members of Congress who would privatize Amtrak have rejected the notion of national connections and equal access to transportation in favor of profligate profit seeking.
Thanks to Congressman Jeff Denham, whose dog could not ride Amtrak, we know how personal inconvenience can turn into transformative legislation. If members of Congress spent a week living in a constituent’s
shoes, how might our laws change?
Members of Congress live a privileged existence. Some say they deserve it because of the service they render to our nation. But if their health care access were the same as ours, if their access to transportation were the same as ours, if their access to financial services were the same as ours, might they behave differently? If they spent just a minute with a gun pointed at their head because they had the temerity to jaywalk, if they were beaten because they dared ask questions of a police officer, if their 5-year-old child was handcuffed because she had a tantrum, would our laws be different?

the hip hop scene THE TEA! Chris Brown’s New Surprise There’s a new “baby Brown” bouncing around town and allegedly she belongs to Chris Brown! The news of the “New Flame” singer allegedly being a father broke on twitter Tuesday night March 3rd, and has had social media going insane ever since. Brown’s alleged baby mama is model Nia Guzman-Amey who says that Chris is the father of her 9-month old daughter Royalty. Brown’s now ex-girlfriend Karreuche and Guzman-Amey’s ex-husband Terry Amey have released statements of their own about the baby and the situation. Both are feeling deceived. Karrueche posted to her twitter: “Listen. One can only take so much. The best of luck to Chris ,and his family. No baby drama for me.” No one seems to really believe that Tran is completely done with Brown, as they’ve done so many times before the couple breaks up to make up, but maybe this time she will stick to her word and leave him for good. Amey’s ex-husband has released a statement through his lawyer claiming that Nia’s pregnancy was the reason that he filed for divorce from her in January 2014. “Respondent [was] also pregnant at the time of filing this lawsuit; however; Petitioner denies paternity and requests a DNA test as soon as possible.” Amey’s petition for divorce says He knew that the baby was not his, but didn’t question who the father of his wife’s child was. The one person who has yet to comment about this baby is Chris himself, he’s on tour with Trey Songz for the “Between the Sheets” tour. He’s unbothered. We’ll see how the story plays out soon and keep the public posted.
Mo’Nique: “I’ve been Black Balled in Hollywood” Comedienne/ Actress Mo’Nique has been keeping up a lot of commotion these past
couple of weeks from an interview she gave saying that she’d been “blackballed” in Hollywood. She alleges that respected Hollywood director Lee Daniels is to blame for her reputation of “being difficult,” because she did not want to do the promotion for the movie “Precious” which she also won an Oscar for. Lee Daniels tells another story, he alleges that the “Queens of Comedy” performer has herself to blame for her reputation. During the promotional run for the movie in 2009, she refused to go to do any radio interviews, go to premiers, or television press, because she was not being paid to do any of it. Being a diva in Hollywood when the resume is not long enough will have actors in Mo’Nique’s position: challenging directors and begging for attention. To add fuel to the fire, the “Parkers” actress claims that she was supposed to play the lead role in the hit primetime show “Empire,” but because of her now reputation the part was mysteriously taken from her. Speaking out negatively about the business that pays your bills doesn’t seem to be a smart career move. Good luck Mo’nique with booking your next gig. ATL 2 Returns! T.I., Lauren London, Evan Ross, Jackie Long, and director Chris Robinson are gearing up for the sequel of the hit movie “ATL” with “ATL 2.” T.I. made the announcement on instagram to let the world know that the movie was coming back bigger and better than ever before. “#ATL was a classic, #ATL2 will be legendary,” says the overly excited director Robinson. We will no longer have to wonder what happened with “Rashad” (T.I.) and “New New’s” (Lauren London’ relationship, and all of their friends since they left our movie
screens in 2006. The movie briefly based on the lives of music producer Dallas Austin, and T-boz of TLC has more stories to tell us about growing up in the city of Atlanta. “ATL” fans get ready! D30 Radio’s Indie Artist Concert: Show the World D30 Radio’s “Show the World” Indie Artist concert took over downtown Columbus at Martinis on Broadway February 26th. D30 Radio switched gears last month to show artists that it’s not all about how well you rock the crowd or how well you rap, but how well you know the business, which is ninety-percent of the game. Kirsten King, CEO of D30 Radio, reached out to some of her colleagues in the entertainment industry in Columbus, Georgia, to serve on a panel that would give independent artist a chance to ask questions about pursuing a career as an artist, and what it takes to be successful in the Columbus, GA market. The panelist included: Derrick “Lil D” Greene, VP of Programming/Operations Manager/ Radio Personality for IHeartMedia, Kenya White (Dj Ookee) Assistant Program/Music Director/DJ for Davis Broadcasting, Terrence Flowers, Media Specialist, CO-CEO at SOAENT and Founder of The Mechanical Eye Photography & Video, and Kirsten King Promotions & Marketing Specialist/ Radio Personality CEO of D30 Ent/D30 Radio. The artists received knowledge and expertise on the proper way to brand themselves, to network, communicate with professionals in the industry, and how to successfully gain radio airplay. The panel drove the momentum for the over the top performances that surely followed. Some of Atlanta’s elite radio personalities from Street 94.5 Incognito and Lil Bankhead, and from Foxie 105 Street Watch radio Montana White came out to support the performers. Artists from Macon, Georgia to Alabama blazed the D30 Radio staged showing the world that they had what it takes to make it and left it all on the stage. Five

When I Grow Up Girls: Career Night When a little girl is growing up she has a million and one dreams running through her mind for what she wants to be when she gets older, but a lot of times her dreams can slowly fade away because she starts to feel as if her once obtainable dreams begin to feel impossible due to the lack of resources. This month’s When I Grow Up session showed the young girls that no dream was impossible through the eyes of successful women who’ve obtained their dreams during career night. The speakers included lawyer LaRae Dixon Moore, News anchor and Journalist Roslyn Giles, United States Army 1st Lieutenant Brittany Daniel, Rigdon Road Elementary first grade teacher Tasha Seldon, Respiratory therapist Ms. Josie, and cosmetologist/owner of Overflo Beauty and Barber Catosha Riley. These women really empowered the young ladies and many of the young girls told the professionals that they really inspired them. “When I Grow Up” has their empowerment sessions every first Thursday of the month for young girls, and every second Thursday of the month of the young boys. These sessions are sponsored by D30 Radio, D30 Ent and Ladies Taking the Lead.

States Must Expand Higher-Education Opportunities for Undocumented Students
By Zenen Jaimes Pérez As the national debate over the president’s plan to expand deferred action for close to 5 million people plays out in the courts, state legislators are proposing legislation regarding undocumented immigrants’ access to higher education. Since the beginning of the year, at least 12 states have introduced legislation on their tuitionequity policies, which determine access to public colleges and universities for undocumented students. More bills are anticipated in other states. Although many of these bills make it easier for undocumented students to access postsecondary education, some states have tried to roll them back. Conservative legislators argue that it is unfair for taxpayers to subsidize undocumented immigrants’ higher-education costs, despite the fact that tuition-equity policies have helped thousands of undocumented students receive higher education. They must be protected and expanded. Efforts to repeal undocumented students’ access to in-state tuition and state-sponsored financial aid at public colleges and universities gained traction in Texas following the 2014 elections. Newly elected Gov.
Greg Abbott (R) and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R) have indicated their support for repealing or substantively diminishing the state’s tuition-equity laws. The repeal effort is ironic; Texas became the first state to allow undocumented students to pay in-state tuition rates to attend public colleges and universities in 2001, when it adopted H.B. 1403 under a Republican governor and legislature. In 2005, Texas enacted S.B. 1528, which allows undocumented students to qualify for state-funded educational financial aid. Collectively, these two laws are known as the Texas DREAM Act. This year, however, Texas representatives introduced H.B. 209, which would strip the state’s undocumented students of the opportunity to apply for in-state tuition. H.B. 306, meanwhile, would require these students to show proof of citizenship or lawful residency to qualify for in-state tuition. If Texas were to repeal its DREAM Act, it would be the largest state to take such action, but not the first; Wisconsin did so in 2011. The need for state action In 1996, Congress passed the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act, which restricted states’ ability
to provide residency and instate tuition benefits for undocumented students. Specifically, the law prohibits states from making undocumented students eligible for any postsecondary education benefit on the basis of state residency unless a U.S. citizen from another state would also be eligible for that benefit. Additionally, under the Higher Education Act of 1965, undocumented students do not qualify for federal financial aid for higher education, including Pell Grants, the federal work-study program, and federal loans. With its DREAM Act, Texas led the way in defining a path for undocumented students to access higher education. Thanks in large part to sus-
tained undocumented-youth activism, at least 18 other states now have provisions that allow undocumented students to access in-state tuition rates. While only three states currently allow undocumented students to receive taxpayer-funded educational financial aid, the number of undocumented students attending institutions of higher education in Texas has increased over the past decade. According to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, the number of students who fell under the Texas DREAM Act residency provisions totaled 9,062 in fall 2007, more than 16,000 in 2011, and just more than 20,000 in 2012. These efforts have allowed thousands of undocumented young people to attend institutions of higher education and get higher-paying jobs, particularly after President Barack Obama announced the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program in 2012. The program allows undocumented young people to receive a temporary deportation deferral and gives them access to renewable work permits. Undocumented students need support States must work to expand tuition-equity policies to make sure that undocumented students get a fair chance to earn a postsecondary education.
Es un asunto de familia “Nuestra familia sirviendo lasuya”
Repealing the Texas DREAM Act would have enormous negative consequences for the thousands of students who depend on it to pay for their education. The influential Texas Association of Business has spoken out against its repeal, arguing that such action would have a negative impact on the state economy because undocumented young people would not have the opportunity to get an education and succeed in the workforce. A postsecondary education allows undocumented immigrants to more closely align their interests and skills to higher-paying jobs; they can then earn more money and start contributing more in payroll taxes. Such revenue supports vital programs such as Social Security and Medicare, even while undocumented immigrants are unable to benefit from these and other social safety net programs. All students deserve a chance to access higher education regardless of their immigration status. While Congress should support immigration reform to address many of the challenges that undocumented students face, it is also critical for states to create policies that allow these students to access higher education.
