Black history: past and present

C arrington S pireS • D aily e gyptian The Rev. Joseph Brown delivers his presentation “Were You There: A Meditation Unmeasured Yesterday and Today” Sunday at the Rock Hill Missionary Baptist Church. Brown came to the church to educate those who attended about the reality of black history. “I could never tell anybody what they should take away from it, but I think if you go to any Black History Month [events] you will take away something because your memory and imagination work independently,” he said.

The presentation involved poetry, songs, speeches, and a video which showcased the atrocities that have happened to the black culture. For a timeline of civil rights in southern Illinois, see page 3.

Mayoral candidates share platforms, goals Jane Adams, a city councilwoman, and John “Mike” Henry, a local business owner, are the two candidates running for mayor on April 7. Both candidates have ties to SIU.

City Hall may see its first female mayor since 1987.

Born in Murphysboro, raised in Ava and a resident of Carbondale, Jane Adams is native to southern Illinois.

She received her bachelor’s degree at SIU and her doctorate degree at the University of Illinois, both in anthropology.

Adams worked as an anthropology professor at SIU from 1987 to 2010.

Her vast experience in this field assists her in understanding people of all backgrounds, which she said is a vital aspect of the community.

John “Mike” Henry enrolled at the university in 1961 and received his bachelor’s degree in engineering. He has owned and operated Henry Printing in Carbondale for 42 years.

Carbondale has some dilemmas on its plate for next year, including a projected deficit of nearly $300,000.

“We have to balance our budgets now,” Henry said. “One of the first places I would make cuts would be discretionary travel by city employees.”

If elected, Henry plans on halting unnecessary travel by city workers for one or two years— expenses that traditionally get billed to the city.

ADAMS CONTINUED FROM

1

“Carbondale is incredibly diverse,” Adams said. “At SIU, there are a lot of international students or people who have immigrated from around the world. They are really important to our community.”

Inclusion and an emphasis on a diversified city are key points in Adams' campaign. She said wants to see equal opportunity in advancement of women and minorities.

“There needs to be very conscious mentoring of all staff, but particularly women and minorities so they can advance through the supervisory managerial ranks,” she said. “That’s where I think the big barriers are.”

Adams has become aware of a double standard in terms of achievement and difficulty in navigating the workforce through personal experience.

“A woman has to accomplish more than a male peer in order to be seen worthy of advancement through the professorial ranks,” she said.

Her plans to revitalize Carbondale do not stop there.

Adams' priorities also include an economic and downtown rejuvenation of the city’s services and amenities.

She said she would like to see more food, beverage and entertainment options available to make the city a more lively place.

“I want to recruit out of our alumni base,” she said. “I want to say, 'Come to

HENRY CONTINUED FROM

1

While he wants to cut spending, Henry said he does not want to see any cuts in social services.

“It really upsets me that this country acts like they don’t have enough money to take care of the people who are disenfranchised and suffering from sickness,” Henry said.

“There has to be a safety net.”

However, Henry is opposed to Adams’ plans to build skateparks, cricket fields and dog parks because he said Carbondale already has them.

“They may not be as fancy as we would like,” Henry said. “But when we are scrambling for money and we are trying to support city services, those are the last things that we need.”

Henry said what sets him apart from Adams is that she does not have the business experience he does, and she has chastised high-ranking city employees to the point in which they do not want to cooperate with her.

“Jane Adams is a nice person, but she has criticized all of City Hall. … She has

Carbondale and set up the business you’ve always dreamed of setting up, or bring a branch of your company here.'”

Her ideas to augment the city also include adding more bike lanes and flowers, a skatepark, cricket fields, dog parks and implementing fiber optics, a technology that uses glass fibers to transmit data.

Adams plans on paying for these amenities with governmental grants, implementing tax increment financing districts and the packaged liquor tax if put into effect.

A tax increment financing district, orTIF, allows a city to re-invest all new property tax dollars in the neighborhood. The property tax rate is frozen at the date the district is established by the city government, and the property owners pay the current rate. The city then uses its share to make permanent improvements to the district.

Decreasing the budget deficit is a concern of hers as well. Though the initial projected deficit of $780,000 has been cut to an estimated $275,000, she said it is still important to whittle it down.

Security of the community is also a main component in her intent to revamp the city, as well improving the relationship between police and the public.

“Relations with police and the various communities they serve are always complicated,” she said. “They’re vexed.

There’s always an issue of how to provide an environment with the most freedom and safety as possible.”

In order to modify the police force, Adams said a broad search for a permanent police chief with experience and a variety of skills is important.

This opposes the view of her competitor.

“Mike Henry has made appointing [Jeff] Grubbs as police chief one of his major issues, and I find that so puzzling,” she said. “Not only is it not the role of mayor, but we have so many other issues facing Carbondale. The appointment of a police chief, while important, is so far down the scale in terms of where you want to take the city.”

Adams said her experience in leadership positions and as a councilwoman makes her the ideal candidate. She said she learned the functions of City Hall through working with interim Mayor Don Monty.

She said what differentiates herself from Monty, however, is her detailed strategy for where she wants to take the city.

“He’s been a bit reluctant to put his own stamp on the direction of the city,” she said.

“He didn’t have a specific plan except to improve citizen participation and make democracy work.”

A lack in direction is a weakness of Henry’s as well, Adams said. Besides his emphasis on keeping Grubbs as the police chief, she said has not heard much about his campaign.

“He has never articulated his vision,” she said. “As a voter, I would want to know where people stand on issues.”

called our routine staff incompetent and not worth the money we pay them,” Henry said. “She can’t walk into City Hall and have anybody’s ear to talk about suggestions or new initiatives because they don’t like her and it is really a shame that they don’t.”

Henry said he would like interim Police Chief Jeff Grubbs to be the permanent chief. He said community relations with the police are healthy.

“But since we had Ferguson and the incident in New York, there is a lot of sensitivity in the black community towards the police,” Henry said. “I would like to see us get back respect for the uniform, respect for the badge. And have it so our children, when they are in trouble, will run to a policeman instead of away from a policeman.”

When asked about the of lack advancement and acknowledgement women and minorities encounter in the workplace—one of Adams’ platforms— Henry said he has not noticed the problem but does not know the statistics.

Henry plans on working with SIU President Randy Dunn and other high-level

officials to get university enrollment closer to what it was at its peak in 1990.

“When the enrollment went down it hurt everything in Carbondale, including sales tax revenue,” he said.

Henry said the city has a lot of taxes already and is not friendly toward small businesses. Of any potential new taxes, he said the package liquor tax is probably the best one.

Henry supporter Barry Cupp, president of Midwest Cash Inc., said for years, Carbondale was considered one of the least business-friendly cities in southern Illinois.

“I am supporting Mike Henry because he listens to businesses, and he is going to make Carbondale more business-friendly,” Cupp said.

Henry said Carbondale will save money in the coming years by making City Hall more efficient—not by imposing new taxes on small businesses.

“Instead of a situation where we say [to small businesses], ‘Here is what you need to do,’ I think we should be saying, ‘What can we help you with?’” Henry said.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF

Nov. 11, 1909 Will James and Henry Salzner were publicly lynched in Cairo. James was hung, shot then dragged through the town. Reports of riots resulted in the National Guard being called to monitor the situation.

July 26, 1948 President Truman issues Executive Order 9981, desegregating the military.

May 17, 1954 Brown v. Board decision makes public school segregation unconstitutional.

Jan. 15, 1952 The NAACP and school board agreed 23 black students would be allowed to go to white schools in Cairo. Multiple acts of violence, including bombing a residents home, were committed as a result of the decision.

CIVIL RIGHTS IN SOUTHERN ILLINOIS

January 1952

July 1964

Public pool in Cairo closes to avoid racial integration.

On July 2, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 outlawed discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin.

JULY 15, 1967 Robert Hunt, a soldier on leave, was found hanged in the Cairo Police Station. Officals said it was suicide. Protestors began a three day riot for economic and social justice.

1969 The Cairo United Front began boycotting white merchants to end employment discrimination in March.

Rallies and protests continued, resulting in the mayor declaring Cairo a state of civil emergency.

In April, Lieutenant Governor Paul Simon and a special committee appointed by the Illinois House of Representatives began an investigation into the events in Cairo. The mayor prohibited gatherings of two or more people and picketing within the city limits in September.

3

Feb. 12, 1970 May 1970 Political protests occured for multiple days on Carbondale’s campus. The mayor declared Carbondale a state of civil emergency, the national guard came in and the university was temporarily closed.

50 black Cairo students filed a complaint with the Illinois Superintendent of Public Instruction of discrimination by local school officials. The suit was later dismissed after an agreement to have a hearing in Cairo was made.

'Fifty Shades' of you should pay for something else Jacob Pierce

@JacobPierce1_DE | Daily Egyptian

Sometimes, it is just better to rip off the bandage and get the pain over with.

“Fifty Shades of Grey” (Rated R; 125 min) is offensive, poorly made and hard to watch.

The movie is a romance drama directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson, starring Dakota Johnson, Jamie Dornan, Jennifer Ehle and Eloise Mumford.

Anastasia Steele, played by Johnson, is a literature student attending Washington State University. Her roommate is set to interview Christian Grey, played by Dornan, a charismatic billionaire, for the college newspaper. She falls ill and it lands on Steele to take up the interview.

The two fall in love at first sight, Grey going as far as obsessing over Steele. Their relationship reaches a point where the billionaire must share his deeply hidden secret with his lover. The private information sends Steele down a hole, from which she may never return.

“Fifty Shades of Grey” is one of the most anticipated film of the year.

Many would list films like “Star Wars: the Force Awakens” or even “The Hateful Eight” as the most critically hyped movies of the year.

Yet, whether people wanted to see

Taylor-Johnson’s sexual epic boycott it, many anticipated the world’s reaction to the film.

The major problem with the film is its repugnant nature. When dubbing “Fifty Shades of Grey” offensive, it has nothing to do with the erotic nature of the movie. The flick was rated R, so hypothetically everyone watching should know of the birds and the bees. The vulgar qualities come from the representation of the bondage community.

The film attacks anyone outside of the “normal” sexual lifestyle.

Grey, who participates in bondage, is only sexually deviant because of his abusive childhood. He is “fifty shades of f----- up,” as he says in the film, and that is why he cannot have an ordinary relationship with Steele.

This perpetuates the idea that all people with this interest must come from a broken background.

“Fifty Shades of Grey” also portrays those in the bondage community as abusive and obsessive.

Grey is incapable of thinking about anything but his “toys,” and how he is going to use them on Steele. He even ends up using the items on her without her consent.

This is hugely unacceptable in any sexual encounter, but a huge rule breaker for any bondage participant.

Besides derogatory mistakes, the movie is atrociously executed. Many compare it to the “Twilight” series, as the “Fifty Shades” collection started as “Twilight” fan-fiction.

This film both matches and exceeds the abominations of the sparkling vampire series of which it originated.

Grey comes off as abusive, obsessive and controlling. But, being a “bad person” does not constitute a static character. Some of the best characters in the history of fiction are broken and flawed.

Nothing the film does ever makes Grey interesting, as he portrays the stoic, brooding, unattainable archetype. He is a carbon copy of Edward from “Twilight” in almost every way, from his nonchalant demeanor to his and dark yet vague backstory.

Empathizing is made practically impossible, which is key to liking an imperfect character.

The characters’ beyond cringeworthy dialogue sounds like something out of a junior high creative writing course, which is a little heartbreaking when you realize the book sold more than 100 million copies. Pointing out one weakness in the script adaptation is not hard, but the dialogue seems to be the worst.

On the record, this is the worst movie of the year. It is hard to imagine anything being worse than “Fifty Shades of Grey,” no matter how many times Nicolas Cage stars in a movie this year.

Giving the movie a one out of five is a pity gesture, as making any film is never easy.

Zhang hopes to repeat record-setting performance Sean Phee

@SeanPheeDE | Daily Egyptian

Last year, when Sherry Zhang completed her conference dives she had the largest cheers but the smallest splashes.

Junior diver Kaixuan “Sherry” Zhang said skills, athleticism and gravity had to come together during the dive to make her the record breaking diver she is now.

Zhang, who is originally from Hu Bei, China, is preparing for the Missouri Valley Conference tournament Wednesday through Saturday at Edward Shea Natatorium, a meet she dominated last year.

She set the MVC, MVC tournament, pool and SIU record for both the onemeter and three-meter dives during last year’s tournament. Zhang was recognized as the MVC Diver of the Year.

SIU swimming coach Rick Walker said the boost Zhang gives to the women’s swimming and diving team is tremendous.

“Having her on the team is like having Brett Favre as your quarterback on a football team,” he said.

Standing at 5 feet tall and weighing about 90 pounds, Zhang’s height is a real asset to her diving, Walker said.

Her small stature makes it harder for her to mess up.

Success did not always come easy

H oliday W agner • d aily e gyptian Junior diver Kaixuan ‘Sherry’ Zhang is an accomplished member of SIU’s Swimming & Diving team. Though Zhang has been diving for ten years, she admits that she still feels afraid when performing high dives. With help from her teammates and coach, she continues to overcome her fear. “Everytime I do a high dive I feel that is my biggest accomplishment,” Zhang said.

for Zhang. Walker said Zhang’s improvement between her freshman and sophomore year was impressive.

“She’s someone that we’ve come to rely on for a win,” Walker said. “I don’t know if I would have said that her

freshman year, when she first got here, but I can definitely say that now.

Walker said Zhang’s hard work and mentorship from diving coach Joy Zhao has turned her into the best diver in the conference.

“Joy has taken a diver who has beaucoup talent, just a ton of talent but not the confidence to use it, and she has given her that confidence to show her talent,” he said.

Zhao both said Zhang is even better

than she was last season. Zhang went on to finish third in the three-meter dive and 11th in the one-meter dive in the NCAA championships.

Zhao has been coaching SIU diving for the past 12 years, where she has been named MVC Diving Coach of the Year three times. Zhao said Zhang’s teammates give her the confidence and encouragement to dive at the best of her abilities.

“My coach and my teammates encourage me before every dive, they calm my nerves,” Zhang said.

Zhang said one of the most important things she has learned in her diving career is to focus on the task at hand and forget past mistakes.

“Sometimes you might fail a dive, so you have to overcome yourself and tell yourself to forget about a bad dive,” Zhang said. “You need to focus on the present.”

Zhang has been diving since she was seven years old in China, where competitive diving is different from the United States.

Zhang said the coaches in China are more strict, and she cannot negotiate with them. She said the coaches are nicer in America.

Walker said Zhang has been doing a strict training regiment all season, but now is just focusing on the final touches and fine tuning of her dives.
