Send resume to Job #3, Walind Home Design Inc., 2487 N Jerusalem Road, East Meadow, NY 11554 also guilty of attempted kidnapping, and the McMichaels guilty of the use of a firearm while committing the crime.

Critical to their conviction were the number of text messages and social media posts in which Travis and Bryan used racist slurs and other derogatory comments about Black people. More evidence against Greg McMichael was not obtainable since his phone was encrypted.

Back in February 2020, Arbery was jogging through the mostly white neighborhood of Brunswick, Georgia when he was pursued in a pickup truck by the McMichaels. They were subsequently joined by Bryan in his pickup truck whose recorded video captured the entire incident.

During the federal trial, the defense attorneys argued that their clients were not motivated by race but merely chased Arbery because they thought he had committed a crime.

On Monday, a jury of eight white people, three Black people, and one Hispanic received the case after a weeklong trial in U.S. District Court.

Attorney Benjamin Crump, who has stood with the Arbery family since the beginning of the crime, said that “Ahmaud Arbery was lynched.” After the verdict was delivered, he noted that it was two years since Arbery “was stalked, trapped, and murdered in cold blood as he jogged through his Brunswick neighborhood. And today, after much sorrow, grief and pain, Ahmaud’s family can finally put this chapter behind them.” He emphasized how the family has endured his murder and then being demonized in the court.

Several witnesses during the trial testified they heard the McMichaels’ racist statements firsthand. One woman who served under Travis McMichael in the U.S. Coast Guard 10 years ago said he called her “n____r lover,” after she had dated a Black man. Another woman testified the elder McMichael had ranted angrily in 2015 when she remarked on the death of civil rights leader Julian Bond, saying “All those Blacks are nothing but trouble.”

“Ahmaud Arbery was denied the opportunity to define his own legacy,” Crump declared, “but America, we have the power to ensure that it is one that propels our fight for equal justice and dispels hate from this world. That is how we continue to honor Ahmaud and make sure his death was not in vain.”

Tower

Continued from page 3

Peebles; century-old Black and woman-owned design construction firm The McKissack Group; real estate investor Steven Charles Witkoff, founder of the Witkoff Group; and Exact Capital.

The team made its presentation to the Empire State Development Corporation last October in response to a request for proposals (RFP) with a commitment of 35% in contracts to people of color totaling more than a billion dollars. However, Craig Livingston, managing partner for Exact Capital Group, told the AmNews that the RFP was canceled.

“We heard that the RFP was pulled so that the governor could re-evaluate it in line with her priorities,” Livingston said. “And today we are still waiting for that to be clarified and articulated and for the RFP to be re-issued.”

Craig explains that when government agencies have a contract that they want to award, an RFP will be issued. Interested parties will respond to the RFP with their proposal and those proposals are evaluated by staff or members of the issuing agency. After that, there’s usually an interview of various teams and follow up questions. The project is then awarded to the group that was presenting a proposal that created the most public benefit for the citizens of the city or state.

Livingston said he and his colleagues are not clear as to why this process did not work for Affirmation Tower.

“With this project, you had the first opportunity in New York State for the government to demonstrate a paradigm shift with how economic opportunity and just business opportunities are awarded,” he said. “Unfortunately, members of our community are often left out of that conversation. We put together a phenomenal team of developers, architects, builders, and our team is 80% Black. We were contributing over a billion dollars to MWBE contracting and paying a king’s ransom to the state for the development rights.”

There are conversations about whether or not Affirmation Tower will build affordable housing in the Hudson Yards area, which the initial plans do not contain. Livingston feels it’s not appropriate for the site because it’s across the street from the Jacob Javits Center, which is one of the largest convention centers in the nation.

The team is not ruling out the possibility of adding a plan to build affordable housing for the project, however, Livingston believes that the characteristics of the Hudson Yards area makes it hard to envision.

“I think there’s some demand for affordable housing in every community in New York City across and the country, but we have to do it smartly in a way in which we can incorporate residential use appropriately,” he said.

What are the next steps? Livingston says the plan to build Affirmation Towers is far from over.

“We remain completely focused [and] more motivated than ever to make sure we represent our idea of creating this international landmark,” he said. “We can demonstrate Black excellence and also be drivers of a huge paradigm shift to finally open up economic opportunities of this scale. Our entire team remains committed to the project. We’re continuing to refine our vision and we look forward to the RFP being re-issued so that we can respond and ultimately prevail.”

In the meantime, the team behind Affirmation Tower remains hopeful that the RFP will be re-issued by the ESD and is preparing to resubmit once it’s reissued.

In a statement, ESD Acting Commissioner and President & CEO-Designate Hope Knight said the RFP for Affirmation Tower was pulled to get a better understanding of the community’s needs.

“In light of today’s changed economic environment and in keeping with Governor Hochul’s commitment to building a thriving and equitable New York, Empire State Development is rescinding the current RFP for Site K, one of the last remaining Stateowned parcels in Manhattan, to reassess inclusive development priorities and solicit more input from the local community and other stakeholders,” she said. “It is critical that this site fulfill the governor’s goal of delivering on the needs of New Yorkers today and into tomorrow.”

ESD gave no further updates on when the RFP would be reissued.

The AmNews reached out to Gov. Kathy Hochul’s office about the project but did not get a response at press time.

By VINCENT DAVIS Special to the AmNews

Darrell “Bubba” Wallace Jr., the only fulltime Black driver on the NASCAR circuit, needed just a half of a foot of a lead or less to be the first driver to cross the finish line at the Daytona 500 on Sunday, NASCAR’s biggest race. But rookie driver Austin Cindric, a Team Penske racer, was .036 seconds ahead of Wallace at the checkered flag, speeding through the finish for a thrilling photo finish victory.

The Daytona 500, first held in 1959, is a 500mile race that takes place annually at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. Since 1982, it’s been the season-opening race of the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) series.

“Damn, I wanted to win that one,” said Wallace, who heads the Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin race team.

“I think I’d rather get wrecked out than finish second,” Wallace joked. It was Wallace’s second time as the runner-up at Daytona. He also finished second in his rookie season of 2018. Driving car No. 23, a number Jordan made famous playing for the Chicago Bulls, this is Wallace’s fifth year driving the circuit full time, his second year with the Jordan-Hamlin 23XI racing team.

“I didn’t have a fighting chance the first time in 2018,” Wallace reflected. “This one, being that close, is just like a gut punch. So going from all the confidence in the world to literally having it ripped out from underneath you is a really [expletive] feeling.”

With a little assistance from Penske teammate Ryan Blaney, also trying to reach the finish line, Cindric was able to out-maneuver three different challengers on the final lap to outrun Wallace for the victory.

Wallace has compiled four top-5 finishes at Daytona, and was second last August in a 400-mile race before getting his first Cup victory at Talladega Superspeedway in October. His story as one of the few Black drivers in the history of NASCAR has been well documented.

The 28-year-old Wallace, the son of a Black mother and white father, is the most successful African American driver in the history of NASCAR. His activism on racial justice issues led to NASCAR strengthening its policies in an effort to end the negative images, including the banning of the Confederate flag at races.

NASCAR has long been associated with racism, dating back to the circuit’s first Black driver, Elias Bowie, and its most famous, Wendell Scott, whose experiences were portrayed by Richard Pryor in the 1977 dramatization “Greased Lightning.”

The Steelers’ hiring of Brian Flores doesn’t signal change or progress

By JAIME C. HARRIS AmNews Sports Editor

NFL owners have no commitment or intention to improve the expansive and growing racial gap that exists in its head coaching ranks. League commissioner Roger Goodell continues his redundant and empty rhetoric regarding addressing the issue while the owners conduct business as usual, keeping franchises’ most important non-executive leadership position overwhelmingly white.

Goodell provides the cover for owners to evade transparency and explicitly explain, stating factors, facts and data, why they continue to pass over highly qualified Black candidates for less experienced and accomplished white coaches. If you are one of the skeptical observers that is viewing the hiring of Brian Flores by the Pittsburgh Steelers through a conspiratorial lens, your thoughts are warranted even if unfounded.

When it was announced on Saturday that Flores will be the Steelers’ senior defensive assistant/linebackers coach, electronic and print media outlets, social media and direct conversations this writer had with some who have followed the goings-on of Flores’ federal suit against the NFL and three of its member teams, put forth multiple theories as to what led to Flores’ newest job.

Some have speculated that the long, close relationship between the Rooney and Mara families, owners of the Steelers and New York Giants respectively, is a plausible reason for the hire. The Giants are a plaintiff in Flores’ suit, as are his former employers, the Miami Dolphins and the Denver Broncos. By hiring Flores, cynics conjecture, the Steelers are attempting to mitigate some of the negative optics the Giants have had to confront.

Flores maintains race was the deciding factor in him not being offered the Giants’ head coaching job which instead was extended to Brian Daboll, a white former offensive coordinator for the Buffalo Bills. Of all the motives ascribed to the Steelers, the most logical is Flores was added to their coaching staff because he is one of the most competent and effective practitioners in the sport.

Current Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin, who has held that title since 2007, and is one of only two Black head coaches in the NFL—the other is Lovie Smith of the Houston Texans— has the gravitas and ethical compass to put aside the politics of football and do what’s best to improve his team.

The move will not alter the distrustful tenor the NFL’s deplorable record of its franchises bypassing Black men for head coaching jobs has spawned. Nor will it minimally influence Flores’ fight for accountability and systemic change.

“We congratulate Coach Flores on his new position with the Steelers and thank Coach Tomlin and the organization for giving him this great opportunity,” said Flores’ attorneys, John Elefterakis and Douglas H. Wigdor, in a statement on Saturday.

“While Coach Flores is now focused on his new position, he will continue with his race discrimination class action so that real change can be made in the NFL.”

It’s incidental that the Rooney Rule, established in 2003 and requiring NFL teams to interview ethnic-minority candidates for head coaching and senior football operation positions, is named after the former Steelers owner Dan Rooney, who was the chairman of the league’s diversity committee. The committee has failed miserably in increasing the number of Black NFL head coaches as the league’s nominal racial equality initiatives have produced regressive results.

Grateful that the NCAA granted all student-athletes an additional year of eligibility, St. John’s University graduate student sprinter Avon Samuels is determined to make the most of it. “I’m taking the opportunity to showcase my abilities,” said Samuels, who majored in business administration and is now studying for her master’s degree. “It’s been hard, but I couldn’t ask for a better opportunity.”

Having a fifth year is enabling Samuels to continue to improve her start and her speed. She’s also working on her endurance in the 400 meters to close strong in the final 50 meters. “Coach Pompey has been working with me to make sure that I’m fit enough to run the personal best that I want to achieve,” said Samuels.

Samuels spent her first two years as a student-athlete at Monroe College. Now in her third year at St. John’s, she feels a deep bond with her teammates. “These girls are phenomenal,” Samuels said. “It’s a great atmosphere. I feel that’s one of the most exciting things our team has accomplished so we can practice with a good spirit and a good heart and be excited for each other.”

Growing up in Guyana, Samuels worked hard on the track and in the classroom to earn an athletic scholarship in the U.S. “My coach back home had a vision, and we had goals…which is why I’m here today,” she said.

Sprinter and long jumper Mandana Vouillemin from France also dreamed of competing in college track and field in the U.S., but unfortunately the first university she attended was not a good fit. When she was looking to transfer, St. John’s seemed ideal. “It was a dream since I was little to run in New York and have a New York life,” she said. “I sent an email to Coach Pompey, and she responded.”

Now Vouillemin is feeling the good vibrations of training and being part of the Red Storm. She’s been running in the relays and is starting to learn the hurdles. “To find this rhythm is really hard for me, but I’m trying,” said Vouillemin, who is studying political science and government and has found her courses interesting. Her long-term goal is to work in international affairs, perhaps at the United Nations.

Last week the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame announced its class of 2022, which will be officially inducted this June in Knoxville, Tennessee. Among the eight people named is DeLisha Milton-Jones, two-time WNBA Champion and two-time Olympic gold medalist who is currently in her second year as head coach at Old Dominion University.

“I feel so blessed to have my career come to this point to where I’m being recognized for all of my sacrifices and efforts that were made over my 17-year tenure in the WNBA,” said Milton-Jones. “To be able to do it domestically and internationally…I’m tickled pink that I was able to do it for so long and at such a high level.”

Milton-Jones played in a then recordsetting 499 WNBA games. In addition to her two WNBA titles with the Los Angeles Sparks, she won professional titles overseas, including the prestigious EuroLeague Championship. Despite international and domestic success, she was largely overlooked for WNBA honors because she played in the shadow of legendary players Lisa Leslie, Candace Parker and Tina Thompson. in every moment and never being selfish,” she said. “I had the ability to take over a game, but I did what’s best for the

Milton-Jones gave abundant praise to her husband, Roland Jones Jr., who not only helped her develop her game, but also pushed her into coaching. “It’s awesome when you can go on a journey that I’ve been on and you are able to share that space with someone you love,” she said. The first team she coached was Jones’ American Basketball Association team, and he took her critiques in stride. Her ODU team is having a winning season and aiming for a berth in the NCAA Tournament.

“It motivates me to be even better in whatever capacity that I can be as their leader and that living example for them,” said Milton-Jones, who is thrilled to share this moment with her ODU players. “I’m hoping that one day one of them can be showered with an award and an honor like this.”

Other honorees include former Liberty player Becky Hammon, now an assistant coach with the San Antonio Spurs and recently named head coach of the Las Vegas Aces, and Penny Taylor, a threetime WNBA Champion with the Phoenix Mercury. Also, Title IX, which celebrates 50 years this year, is the recipient of the Trailblazer of the Game award.

As people note the absence of Black figure skaters at the 2022 Olympic Winter Games, they also remember and celebrate one of the greats of the sport, three-time Olympian Surya Bonaly of France. Known for her jumping prowess and incredible backflip, which she learned how to land on one foot, Bonaly’s story is captured in the new illustrated book, “Fearless Heart: The Legacy of an Olympic Figure Skater.”

Bonaly, 48, is touched that people remember her skating and amused that new fans enjoy videos of her competing and performing. “I can see now people recognize and appreciate more than when I was [competing], enjoy and really realize what was happening,” said Bonaly, who ended her Olympic career in 1998 with a rules-defying backflip. “Back then it was maybe not as free.”

Now a coach living in Las Vegas, she still doesn’t see many young skaters of color, but at a recent book signing in Austin, Texas, she met several people of color who asked questions about her career. “It’s coming little by little,” she said. “I teach the Learnto-Skate program at my rink in Las Vegas, and I do see a few kids of color. It’s nice to see.”

Longtime children’s book writer Frank Murphy contacted Bonaly about doing the book. She was a bit stunned that he wanted to write about her. “He said, ‘I want you to be involved. We have to write it together,’” she recalled. “I thought it was nice. I didn’t know him and he’s not involved in skating, but apparently he was inspired by the 2018 Olympics.” Bonaly said Murphy was very enthusiastic and he found the publisher, Triumph Books. Although it’s geared for young readers, anyone touched by Bonaly’s skating will appreciate it. “Fearless Heart” is illustrated by Anastasia Magloire Williams. Bonaly finds Williams’ work amazing—both artistic and true to life. They spoke many times so Williams could create illustrations accurate to Bonaly’s recollections.

“So far, people like it,” said Bonaly, who will be a spectator at the upcoming 2022 World Figure Skating Championships in Montpellier, France, and is looking forward to seeing the current generation of competitors. “It was great timing for the book to come out just before the Olympics. It’s great inspiration.

“It’s nice because the story is true,” she added. “Sometimes people try to do something sensational and change the story. That is not me. This story is what really happened.”

Meyers Taylor sets new Winter Olympics standard for Black athletes

By JAIME C. HARRIS AmNews Sports Editor

It was a historic showing for Black women at the Beijing Winter Olympics.

First, Ocala, Florida native Erin Jackson became the first Black woman to win a speedskating medal at an Olympics, capturing gold in the 500-meters on Day 9. On the same day, bobsledder Elana Meyers Taylor, at 37, became the oldest American female athlete to win a medal at the Winter Olympics, earning silver in the monobob.

The monobob was one of seven new events held in Beijing and was exclusive to women. Men have had the four-man sled dating back to the first Winter Olympics held in 1924 and subsequently the two-man sled added at the 1932 Olympics. But prior to this past Winter Olympics, which concluded on Sunday, their female counterparts were limited to just the two-woman sled, introduced as an Olympic sport in 2002.

After finishing second in the monobob to Canadian born Kallie Humphries, who became a U.S. citizen in early December 2021, making her eligible to compete for Team USA in Beijing, Meyers set a new standard for Black winter Olympians. By garnering a bronze medal on Saturday in the two-woman sled with Sylvia Hoffman, the former president of the Women’s Sports Foundation became the most decorated Black Winter Olympics athlete.

The victory gave Meyers five medals, her first coming at the 2014 Sochi Olympics in Russia when she won silver in the

“It’s so crazy to hear that stat and to know that I’m part of a legacy that’s bigger than me,” said Meyers after her unmatched accomplishment. “Hopefully it just encourages more and more Black athletes to come out to winter sports and not just Black athletes, winter sports for everybody.

“We want everybody to come out regardless of the color of your skin,” said the George Washington University graduate, where she played for the softball team. “We want winter sports to be for everybody, regardless of race, regardless of socio-economic class. I think the more diversity we have, the stronger our sport can be.”

Meyers has been a highly visible and active proponent of racial equity and equality. An article written by her and published by Team USA on June 26, 2020, titled “Even Olympic Medals Can’t Save You From,” details Meyers’ personal experiences and broader perspective of racism. She wrote, “In just his four short months of being alive, I can tell when my son Nico needs me. I can hear it in his cry when he just wants to be held by mommy.

“Nico was born pre-maturely. He spent eight days in the NICU and during that time I watched helplessly as my tiny, newborn baby fought for every breath. It nearly broke me.

“George Floyd fought to breathe while the knee of a police officer squeezed his neck. As he gasped for air and fought to live, he called for his mother.

“George Floyd…was once someone’s Nico...I was five years old when I was first called the n-word... I had always believed that once I reached the elite level of sport people wouldn’t care about the color of your skin.

“As a Black pilot, I’m able to buy most sleds in the world except one—and that one manufacturer currently makes one of the fastest sleds on tour. But I wouldn’t buy it even if I could.

“This one manufacturer refuses to sell to Black pilots and has been quoted saying ‘if I wanted to see a monkey drive a sled, I’d go to the zoo.’”

Meyers has risen above the vitriol but continues the battle against racism. She ended the Beijing Olympics as Team USA’s flag bearer at the Closing Ceremony. Chosen to be this country’s flag bearer at the Opening Ceremony, she tested positive for COVID and was quarantined for the celebration.
