COMMENTARY

Jesse Jackson

National Writer

ach Monday in Chicago, we gird ourselves for the most recent score. Not on how well the Bears, Bulls or Black Wings, Cubs or White Sox have fared, but on how many new victims of guns have been racked up. This weekend, three were killed with 17 other shooting victims, according to CBS News. Victims of gun shootings are spiking in Chicago and in cities across the country. From 2014 to 2015 to date, the murder rate in Milwaukee is up 76 percent. In St. Louis it’s up 60 percent, in Baltimore up 56 percent, and in the nation’s capital up 44 percent. Chicago is “only” up 20 percent, but the numbers are staggering -- from 244 to 294 to date. Someone in Chicago has been shot every 2.84 hours this year, a total of 2,349 shootings from January 1 to October 6, according to the Chicago Tribune tally. Over five years, Chicago police report 12,814 shootings and 2,583

National Trends Show Deepening Crisis of Gun Violence murders, according to a chart provided me by the Chicago Police Department. We losing nearly as many people in Chicago alone as we lost on 9/11. This violence also terrorizes. Nearly nine of 10 murders (89 percent) are from gunshots. Eight of 10 victims are African-American males. The guns are not made in Chicago. The Chicago police recover about 7,000 illegal guns annual, more than any other city. What we have here is a national security emergency. There is national mourning for the victims of the mass killing at Umpqua Community College in Oregon. But Chicago is experiencing an Umpqua almost every week. Too many illegal guns are in circulation, from handguns to military assault rifles. These guns are powerful enough not only to shoot up churches and schools but to bring down airplanes. Too many legal guns are in the wrong hands. Too many young men use guns rather than reason to settle disputes, bullets rather than accomplishment to establish their manhood. President Obama has spoken out forcefully against gun violence, but his proposed reforms have been dead on arrival in the Congress, unable even to come to a vote. His most recent comments have despaired that yet another slaughter brings no action. It is time to increase both the heat and the light. President Obama

should convene a White House Conference on Gun Violence. That commission should detail reforms needed to begin to address the epidemic of gun violence, and call the nation to action. The reforms can’t be limited to closing gun show loopholes or other gun law reforms. The Department of Homeland Security should be there, detailing the threat posed by the spread of guns designed for the military, not for hunters. We need to crack down on illegal gun ownership, with harsh penalties for repeat offenders. We should be jailing those who traffic in illegal guns, while reducing sentences for nonviolence drug offenders. There should be a push to revive the ban on assault weapons once more. It is ridiculous that weapons designed for war are spread across American streets. But the murder spike represents more than simply too many guns. The violence stems from the growing misery of too few jobs, too many guns and too little hope. Any sensible plan against the spike in murders and shootings will include jobs for the young, increases in the minimum wage, guaranteed paid family leave days and more. The culture of drugs and guns has to be challenged with an economy of jobs and opportunity. The Black Lives Matter Movement has raised awareness of the violence in our cities, focusing on the horror of African-Americans threatened by the very police who are charged

with protecting them. But the spike of murders and shootings comes not from the actions of the police but from the actions of residents. Citizens in many cities want a crackdown on the trafficking and carrying of guns. But many cities find themselves pre-empted by state legislatures. The gun lobby has systematically pushed to get state legislatures to block municipal reforms. That has to be exposed and challenged. It is too easy to be cynical, to suggest that the gun lobby always wins, or to dismiss gun control as inadequate. As the spike in murders continues, we witness a true national security crisis. Change will meet fierce resistance. Reform may be blocked and sabotaged again and again. But that is only reason to keep pushing. Make the case for fundamental reform at the local, state and national level. Lay out a comprehensive strategy. Challenge citizens to demand the changes that we need. No civilized country can allow this level of violence to continue without mobilizing in response. You can write to the Rev.

POLITICAL

Group Gathers to Change Dowling to Emancipation

tate Senator Rodney Ellis and State Rep. Garnet Coleman led a charge of concerned citizens committed to securing the signatures of 70 percent of the land owners along Dowling Street in Houston’s Third Ward to legally change the street to Emancipation Avenue. “In 1892 one of Houston’s most important arteries was changed from East Broadway to Dowling to honor Confederate Major Richard Dowling, who was most famous for his 1863 victory in stopping the U. S. military at Sabine Pass from getting to Texas. This was done by the all-white Houston City Council for the only reason of insulting the African American community that had bought and built the park on that street called Emancipation Park, where Juneteenth was celebrated each year. Dowling was a hero for a treasonous country defending the right to enslave our people. It’s wrong for our street to be in his name,” said State Senator Ellis, who represents the 800,000 people in Senate District 13. State Rep. Coleman, who along with State Senator Ellis, represents the Third Ward area in Austin, said Emancipation Park that anchors Dowling Street was once the “Black Wall Street” because so many of the city’s black owned businesses were established there.

Daniella Rodriguez is Third Latina to Win State USA Crown

hings that sparkle naturally attract the attention of little girls. One can almost see the shimmers of light dance in the black pools of their eyes. Its no wonder that so many little girls grow up wanting to wear a crown on their head. One of the most coveted crowns to wear in the state of Texas is that of Miss Texas USA and Miss Texas Teen USA. Being the girl that gets to wear one of them is lucky but being the girl that gets to wear both is very rare. At 16 years old Daniella Rodriguez heard something that most Texas girls can only image, her name being called as Miss Texas Teen USA. What an incredible feeling she thought! Little did she know that three years later she would hear it be called again but this time as Miss Texas USA. And what is even more significant about Daniella’s win is that she is the first former Miss Texas Teen USA to go to win Miss Texas USA on her first attempt. In addition, Danielle is the third Hispanic in a row to win Miss Texas USA. Having been Miss Texas USA for a little over a month and Daniella is still in awe of winning. It freaks her out. She is adjusting to her busy schedule that now includes balancing her life as a student at Texas A&M International University, working at her family owned business, spending time with family and friends, and, of course, the duties of her new job as Miss Texas USA. The 19-year-old Daniella loves spending time with her family and friends. She sings and acts and has a passion for helping children with Down syndrome and that are autistic. She collects jewelry, rides fourwheelers and jet skies. People might be most surprise at how much she can eat. “I can eat as much as my dad or a man,” she laughed.

Daniella Rodriguez with contestants

The Laredo native follows a long line of girls from the city to hold a state title. One might think going into the Miss Texas USA Pageant that Daniella was a shoe in right? Not necessarily true. Texas girls are some of the most beautiful, intelligent, and capable women ever so to be in a room with the top women of the state one really has to stand out. Daniella says, “You really have to be comfortable in your own skin.” Comparing her preparation for the teen vs. the miss pageant was so very different for Daniella. “You have fun at miss but at teen it is always more bubbly and cute and having fun with everything. And with miss it is more responsibility. You have to be able to balance yourself right.” Daniella’s prize package for winning Miss Texas USA is full of everything from a photo shoot to teeth whitening to a scholarship and wardrobe. The great thing about pageants is that the titleholder is not the only who wins. Every girl who competes wins something in a pageant. Some girls win by learning to

be confident. Others win because they discover both their internal and outer beauty. Girls gain a support group of friends and learn that they are not alone with some of things they face in this world. Daniella credits pageants with teaching her how to communicate. Laughing she said, “I would have honestly not been able to carry this conversation years ago. Joining pageants has definitely given me the ability to talk to people and carry a conversation much better than back then.” Skills that will help Daniella long after she hangs up her pageant shoes in her professional life as a future counselor or better yet with her dream job of being an Oscar winning actress. Follow D a n i e l l a ’s journey as she Daniella Rodriguez crisscrosses the state making appearances, championing a variety of causes and inspiring the next generation.

From Houston to The Million Man March

By Brandon Caldwell, Erica Ponder, and Lisa Valadez

he unifying theme at last weekend’s “Justice or Else” march upon Washington was that of healing; healing and discovering the next step. Various apogees had sprouted since the original March on the mall some two decades ago, but some of the more tried and true ones remained. Black newspapers, Black ideologies, the all-important twist and braid of what black represents in so many ways were all present. Many people, young and old, questioned why the national media had delivered so little coverage to the march, considering the intense number of people and how much of the past year had been dedicated to marches and movements following unrest or even worse, riot. Twenty years after hundreds of thousands of men flocked to our nation’s capital for the Million Man March, the scene repeated itself last weekend with faces that had experienced the first march to secondgeneration marchers and those who were coming to enjoy solidarity on a grand public scale. By the time the march had concluded, there was much to unpack and take in. Beyond the beauty and grace of seeing a multitude of similar faces united for a single, peaceful and positive cause, there’s still much work to be done. At this gathering, Minister Louis Farrakhan, the Nation of Islam’s leader and organizer of the event, challenged the youth to take their stance in the fight for justice, and to have an “or else” attitude toward the injustices that underprivileged communities have continued to face for over centuries. The rally included many impactful prayers stemming from Christian and Islamic traditions, and performances of singing and poetry. Libations were poured as a way to honor the ancestries that helped pave the way. Speeches were given by various organizations that focused on women’s rights, the rights of Native Americans and Hispanics, police brutality, the poor, the incarcerated, and the elderly were also given. The father and mother of Mike Brown, Sandra Bland’s sister, and Sybrina Fulton made appearances, the mother of Trayvon Martin, among many. This time around, Farrakhan, a follower and member of the Nation of Islam since 1955, spoke much of his dissatisfaction with law enforcement and how he wants an immediate end to mob attacks, the lack of acknowledgement of Native Americans as the indigenous people of the United States, how women are often unprotected when trying to utilize their civil rights, and being a fearless people. Farrakhan mentioned confidently that “If you cannot say ‘Black lives matter,’ then you are not qualified to run for office in America.” Houston was definitely represented in the crowd of supporters as students and alumni from Texas Southern University and Prairie View A&M University marched in solidarity with other HBCU students. We spoke to a few of those who made the trek from Houston and beyond to the March, to have them break down what they saw and what they gathered from another important step towards eventual equality and inclusion. Marcus King, who was just 7-years-old when the first March happened in 1995, attended the March to be connected with individuals who shared his sentiments about the injustice in America. “This was

my second time hearing Farrakhan speak and after the first I was very impressed. This speech was a reminder and reinforced some old principles as well as gave me some new to consider and implement in my life,” he said. He further added, “Some other speakers I found moving were Linda Sarsour, the parents of Michael Brown and the sister of Sandra Bland. They each reminded me of the battle we face living in America and why I was there.” Rasheedah Muhammad was another attendee, who like King was very young at the time of the first March. Now a student activist at Prairie View A&M University and the president of the Nation of Islam Student Association, he wanted be part of the movement that he had only viewed in pictures. “I believe that the 20th anniversary of the Million Man March is not what we’d generally picture when it comes to a march. This is a movement.” Both men that the March had a far greater purpose that just a one-day event. Muhammad said that, “When marches end, oftentimes the spirit is carried on, but there is no practical application, set agenda and mission that is carried out in the long haul. That is what made this event so different for me. Even more so it was a blessing to be able to attend

with a busload of my fellow Panthers of Prairie View A&M University.” King commented on the lasting impact for change and unity that the March inspired. “Above all I think this gathering for the 20th anniversary of the Million Man March was about unity and coming together as one. With unity we have strength and the power to change, with or without cooperation of opposition.” King continued, “The controversial slogan “Justice or Else” has been questioned by many asking “what is the ‘else’?” In my conclusion, the “else” is Justice. No matter what, ALL roads lead to victory and in my mind this has already been accomplished, we’re simply on the preceding journey. To say we’re meeting again 20 years later for the same reasons, to me, as an optimist, is an example of how resilient we are as a people. We withstand all and continue to press forward in the face of adversity and if anyone thinks we’re going to wake up one day, give in and just accept the bad in this nation for what it is, they should think again.” F o r m o r e i n f o r m a t i o n , v i s i t w w w. stylemagazine.com or www.justiceorelse.com.

Nielsen: Los Latinos Mayores de 50 Años Son Saludables, Afluentes y Sabios

studio revela hallazgos sobre la influencia que tienen los hispanos mayores de 50 años en los patrones de consumo en varias generaciones Los hispanos mayores de 50 años representan un grupo en crecimiento dentro una sociedad multicultural cada vez más joven, y están ejerciendo una notable influencia cultural, económica y política en el cambiante segmento de jóvenes criado en los Estados Unidos, según un informe de Nielsen publicado hoy. Dicho informe, The New American Vanguard: Latinos 50+: Healthy, Wealthy and Wise (La Nueva Vanguardia Americana: Latinos Mayores de 50 Años: Saludables, Afluentes y Sabios) revela que mientras las generaciones más jóvenes están acaparando la mayor parte de la atención de los medios de comunicación, en el 2015 los hispanos mayores de 50 años representan el 10% de su grupo de edad, y se espera que el número aumente hasta 42 millones, o 24%, para el año 2060. El informe se presentó durante un evento público en la ciudad de Nueva York organizado por Nielsen, al cual acudió el Consejo Asesor Hispano Latino de la empresa, y contó con la participación de destacados líderes latinos en los campos de la política, el mercadeo y las profesionales de la comunidad, para hablar sobre el valor significativo que tiene de este creciente segmento de consumidores hispanos mayores de 50 años. El informe, titulado: La Nueva Vanguardia Americana: Latinos Mayores de 50 Años: Saludables, Afluentes y Sabios,ofrece información sobre cómo los hispanos mayores de 50 años son en considerados, en gran medida, los responsables de la expansión de la población hispana. Asimismo, se les atribuye gran parte de la influencia y el poder que los hispanos tienen actualmente en los Estados Unidos. Con una esperanza de vida de 83.5 años, en comparación con los blancos no hispanos de 78.7 años, este grupo está viviendo más tiempo y se sitúa en un punto transversal en las principales tendencias demográficas y sociales. Los ingresos en los hogares encabezados por los latinos de mayor edad también están creciendo a un ritmo más rápido que el de sus semejantes más jóvenes. Entre los años 2005 al 2013, el porcentaje de hogares encabezados por hispanos entre los 50 y 69 años ganando más

de $100,000 anuales, aumentó de un 14 a un 20 por ciento. Además, el aumento progresivo de la riqueza entre los hispanos mayores de 50 años ha hecho que su influencia en la decisión de adquisición y compras de los ya crecientes hogares multigeneracionales, sea aún mayor. “A medida que aumenta la población en los Estados Unidos, la misma es cada vez más diversa. Aún si las generaciones más jóvenes son el punto central de atención de este crecimiento, es importante entender la influencia cultural hispana de los Millenials. Es vital que los expertos en mercadeo entiendan a la generación que los precede”, dijo. Mónica Gil, vicepresidenta senior y gerente general de estrategia y crecimiento multicultural en Nielsen.“ “Los hispanos mayores de 50 años no están envejeciendo sino más bien rejuvenecen mediante la infuencia que tienen en las generaciones jóvenes”. “Son éstos los verdaderos innovadores e influyentes y pasan desapercibidos. Este grupo representa los verdaderos pioneros. Los que sentaron las bases para crear el motor económico en auge que los consumidores latinos representan hoy en día”, dijo Luis Miranda, Jr., miembro del Consejo Asesor Externo de Nielsen. “Durante mucho tiempo, Nielsen ha jugado un rol primordial en promover la importancia de conocimientos y datos sobre diversidad e inclusión, y se ha posicionado estratégicamente para ayudar a sus clientes a tomar decisiones plenamente informadas y basadas acerca de los consumidores multiculturales. Así lo demuestra este estudio realizado por Nielsen, el cual ofrece hallazgos importantes sobre uno de los segmentos de consumidores multiculturales más influyentes en la sociedad estadounidense”.

Nielsen: Latinos 50+ are Healthy, Wealthy and Wise New study finds that older Hispanics are growing in numbers and influence, playing a central role in the purchasing decisions of several generations ispanics over the age of 50 are a growing group in an increasingly younger multicultural society, and are exerting cultural, economic and political influence on the evolving U.S. mainstream, according to a Nielsen report released today. The report, The New American Vanguard: Latinos 50+: Healthy, Wealthy and Wise, reveals that while younger generations are garnering the bulk of media attention, Hispanics 50+ represent 10% of their age cohort in 2015 and are expected to grow to 42 million, or 24% by 2060. The report was released during a Town Hall event in New York City, hosted by Nielsen and the company’s External Hispanic/ Latino Advisory Council— engaging Latino advocates, policy makers, marketers and professional community leaders—to discuss the growing importance of this consumer segment. The New American Vanguard: Latinos 50+: Healthy, Wealthy and Wise provides insights on how Hispanics 50+ are responsible for much of the Hispanic population explosion, influence and power today in America. With a life expectancy of 83.5 years, compared to 78.7 for non-Hispanic Whites, this group is living longer and stands at the crosssection of major demographic and social trends. Incomes in households headed by older Latinos are also rising at a faster rate than those headed by younger counterparts. From 2005 to 2013, the percentage of households headed by Hispanics ages 50 to 69 making $100,000+ annually increased from 14% to 20%. In addition, the growing wealth of Hispanics 50+ has extended their influence in the buying and shopping decisions of increasingly multigenerational households. “America is growing more and more diverse with younger generations commanding the attention, but in order to understand the Hispanic Millennial cultural influence, it’s vital for marketers to understand the generation that precedes them,” said Mónica Gil, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Multicultural Growth and Strategy, Nielsen. “This report

www.StyleMagazine.com

provides insights into one of the most influential multicultural consumer segments in the U.S. mainstream.” “Hispanics over the age of 50 have not aged out, but are aging up with an influence that extends to multiple generations. These are the original innovators, unsung influencers and true pioneers who laid the groundwork for the booming economic force that Latino consumers represent today,” said Luis A. Miranda, Jr., Nielsen External Hispanic/Latino Advisory Council Member. “Nielsen has long been a champion for the importance of diverse and inclusive insights and data, and is uniquely positioned to help their clients to make fully informed, data-based decisions around multicultural consumers.” While younger generations are garnering the bulk of media attention, Hispanics 50+ are also on the rise. Eleven million strong, Hispanics 50+ represent 10% of their age cohort in 2015 and are expected to grow to 42 million or 24% by 2060. For more information, visit www.nielsen.com/latinos.

Ben Hall Wants to Fight for Houston as Its Next Mayor

Carolyn Goode, Managing Editor

Ben Hall

en Hall is a fighter. He has done it all his life. First he fought for himself. A young Ben Hall was not the most gifted in school so he found it challenging. Thus his teachers doubted that he would be successful if he furthered his education on the collegiate level. But he knew better. He knew what he had inside so he fought for his education and proved them wrong

by earning degrees from the University of South Carolina, D u k e University and Harvard University. H a l l ’ s second fight was for everyday people by defending them in the courts and turning wrongs into rights by standing up on the right side of the l a w. H a l l wants his third fight to be for the citizens of Houston as mayor representing them to give all a better way of life. “I believe we all deserve safe neighborhoods, clean air, public parks, abundant green space, venues for the arts, and an opportunity to raise our families in peace. As your mayor, my policies will be directed at continuing

to create and promote a City worthy of this promise. I’m asking you to join me in moving our City forward,” said the mayoral candidate via his website, benhallforhouston.com. Hall believes that a lot of Houston’s serious issues have been ignored or addressed in the wrong ways for far too long. One of those issues is Houston’s infrastructure. Between our nightmare traffic and damaging potholes, Houston has a real problem on our roadways. Hall says the city needs to move from using aggregate asphalt to a more cheaper and permanent fix of liquid asphalt to fix the city’s potholes. Retiming the lights and speaking with private experts to look for more efficient ways to navigate the city is how he would address our traffic headaches. Public safety is another pressing issue for Houstonians. Who doesn’t want to feel safe in their own neighborhood? According to Hall, the key to feeling safe is having police to live in the neighborhoods that they work in. This plan has a two-fold purpose. Officers will get to know the community better and neighbors will see the increase police presence and officers get something tangible in return. He also wants to increase foot and bike patrols as well as improve communications with other agencies. Hall is a proponent of

police body cameras. A hot button issue of this election has been the HERO ordinance. Hall has been very vocal about his disapproval of the ordinance. As the only candidate against the ordinance and as a Christian minister, he believes the ordinance is very dangerous and unconstitutional vague for the way it defends gender among other things. The lack of definition puts women and children in danger of people like rapist and pedophiles who could enter the ladies restroom if they were a man by identifying themselves as a woman. And that is not right. As a father, husband, and business owner Hall simply wants to make Houston better for you as well as his family and generations to come. Houston under a Hall administration will have changes that citizens can clearly see and identify. Ben Hall has been married for over 30 years to Saundra Hall. The couple has two sons, Benjamin IV Zachary. They first came to Houston after he graduated law school and set up his law office. The former city attorney is owner KCOH-AM and KCOH –TV.

pen mouth, insert foot. Maybe it doesn’t happen often, but there are times when you have a knack for saying what’s on your mind at precisely the wrong time. You can’t un-say things, though, especially if you mean them but as you’ll see in the new novel “Grant Park” by Leonard Pitts, Jr., at least those words won’t kill you. In his heart, Malcolm Toussaint was always an activist. The son of a Memphis sanitary worker, Toussaint grew up seeing the lack of equality around him, and he understood that higher education was a means of escape. Once at college, he grew an Afro, wrote angry pamphlets, and spoke his mind but, though he wasn’t alone in his radicalism, he was expelled from white-man’s school anyway. That was February 1968; it was cold but so was life, which Toussaint learned the spring before he returned to college, chastened and wiser. Four decades later, the awardwinning newspaper columnist hadn’t forgotten those days, which was why, early one morning, he snuck into his editor’s office and quietly inserted a rant in the paper, a column that had been rejected by his superiors, a tiredof-white-people column that Toussaint knew would kill his career.

As the paper’s editor, Bob Carson was the first to reject the column so it especially stung that Toussaint’s action caused Bob to lose his job, too. Being fired was a shock, and there was more: not only was Toussaint missing, but an old girlfriend, Bob’s first love whom he hadn’t seen in years, was in Chicago with the Obama campaign and was hoping to have lunch with Bob. That was fine. He had nothing else to do. Toussaint had seen to that, hadn’t he? For most of his life, Clarence Pym was bullied, abused, and didn’t have many friends, but he had Dwayne and their carefully-laid plans for Something Big. Recently, they’d formed the White Resistance Army, and Dwayne said it was time for white men to take America back. It didn’t matter who died – starting with that Black writer from the newspaper… It’s-only-a-book, it’s-only-abook, that’s what to keep reminding yourself here. It’s only a book which, because you’re immersed in history and authentic events and because the fictional parts feel natural, is easy to forget when you’re reading “Grant Park.” And then there are those thrills – gasping, mouth-gaping page-turners that author Leonard Pitts, Jr. weaves through another realism: truthful, brutal plot-lines about racial issues of the last

five decades, mulling over exactly how far we’ve really come. That makes this willthey-live-or-won’tthey nail-biter into something that also made me think, and I absolutely loved it… Until three pages from the end. There’s where Pitts, Jr. inserted a tiny little thread that almost made me cry with frustration and cliché-repulsion. I could cry now, in fact, but instead, I’ll recommend this book with one caveat: stop before you finish it. If you can, you’ll love it wholeheartedly with no disappointment. If you absolutely must read to the end, well, then liking “Grant Park,” is for open discussion. Share this story online at www. stylemagazine.com.

HEALTH

The Health Care Provider You Need to Know

By Family Features

ith more than 11 million newly insured Americans, an aging baby boomer population and a growing number of chronic conditions, the American healthcare system is expected to make some major changes to accommodate the increasing number of people seeking healthcare. In the past, your physician was probably the only provider you saw regularly, but as healthcare delivery has evolved, newer types of providers are taking on important roles in healthcare teams, which are delivering higher quality and more efficient care. Teambased medicine is the next generation of healthcare delivery and one of the professions at the forefront of this trend is physician assistants or PAs. Many people have seen and been treated by a PA whether they know it or not, but unless you’ve seen a PA as your primary care provider, you might be surprised to know that PAs are fully licensed medical providers with graduate degrees. They diagnose and treat their own patients by prescribing medications, ordering and interpreting tests, performing medical procedures and even assisting in surgery. They can be found throughout healthcare from hospitals to urgent care clinics to ERs, as well as in your family provider’s office. “PAs are uniquely equipped as medical practitioners and play an

important role in today’s healthcare system,” said Jeff Katz, PA-C, DFAAPA. “For nearly 50 years, PAs have improved patient outcomes and elevated patient satisfaction. There is a wealth of clinical research and real-world evidence from hospitals and patients, demonstrating the high-quality and breadth of PA care.” With all of this, it is no surprise that PAs are among the most in demand professions in the United States. In a

recent American Academy of Physician Assistants survey conducted by Harris Poll, a Nielsen company, 91 percent of respondents agreed that PAs improve health outcomes for patients and 91 percent agreed PAs improve the quality of healthcare. In addition, according to national health care search firm Merritt Hawkins, demand for PAs has increased by more than 300 percent over the last three years, and the U.S. Bureau of

Labor Statistics expects employment of PAs to grow much faster than the average for all occupations through 2022. As you consider alternative approaches for a healthcare provider, keep this advice in mind: Find a provider that has the right education and training. Educated through intense, graduate-level medical programs that include at least 2,000 hours of clinical practice, PAs are often educated alongside medical students in medical schools and academic medical centers. They gain the skills necessary to perform medical procedures, diagnose and treat patients, order and interpret tests, prescribe medication, make rounds in hospitals and nursing homes, and assist in surgery. Feel good about checkups, testing and surgery. Seek a provider who can answer a wide range of healthcare needs. PAs practice medicine in all medical and surgical settings and specialties, including primary care, emergency medicine, surgery, oncology, orthopedics, psychiatry, radiology, pediatrics and more. To learn more about PAs and how they can assist with your health care needs, visit aapa.org.

n the auspicious eve of the super blood moon, Grace Jones took to the Hollywood Bowl stage, decked in an elaborate gold skull headpiece and slathered in black-and-white body paint. The landmark show, which featured several costume changes and also moments where she performed nearly nude, found Grace performing for an audience of aging club kids, pop art adherents and a younger generation of new fans, all dying to catch a rare glimpse of the larger-than-life personality that’s been the figurehead for American outsider culture for the past four-plus decades. It’s safe to say they got an eyeful. “I didn’t make it stand up hard intentionally!” she guffaws on the phone, describing the tribal-pattern strap-on she wore the night before, continuing to giggle as she insists it wasn’t a controversial publicity stunt at all. “It just was like, ‘No! Go to sleep, dildo dick,’” prefacing this all with the innocent assertion that, “I [just trying to] play the role of a naked guy in an Ibo

Grace Jones: Always Unapologetically Outspoken tribe, Keith Haring body paint.” And while it’s hard to think of anyone’s grandmother (especially in what Jones believes is our current “sexually repressed” society) partaking in the sort of outlandish sex toyslinging she seems to delight in, one must remember that Jones is hardly anyone’s idea of a typical human, let alone a typical sexagenarian. As recounted in Memoirs, Jones is a legendary triple-threat, one who successfully straddled the underground and mainstream. Known for her genderbending look and willingness to challenge racial and sexual norms at the height of ‘70s/’80s New York, she started as a model and gradually emerged as one of new wave’s wildest outsiders with chart-toppers like “Slave to the Rhythm” (1985) and “La Vie En Rose” (1977). Jones eventually took her radical look to the silver screen, where she progressed from campy horror flicks to huge commercial releases à la Conan the Destroyer (1984) and the James Bond film A View to a Kill (1985). For the past few years, though, Jones has maintained a relatively low profile, spending more time with her family as a grandmother while still playing the occasional show as she works on another album. In her absence, a younger, boundary-averse generation discovered her and held her up as an early icon of popular modern social movements like gender-fluid fashion and intersectional feminism. Tumblr kids can’t reblog her photo collaborations with former creative and romantic partner Jean-Paul Goude enough. It makes sense that she would be the face of Warhol-era New York to the younger set; if there’s one thing she became known for, it was being unapologetically outspoken in her otherworldly beliefs. Jones is a creature of her own making, one

that lives in a forward-looking world of her very own creation; one that transcends time, space and, of course, social constraints. When talking with her, it quickly becomes evident that she’s left our Earth in favor of her fantasy world. She’s completely unplugged from the very modern, web-bred social movements and cultural touchstones that she had a huge hand in creating -- from the popularization of androgyny and a gender style to our collective embrace of the black alternative female pop star.

HEALTH

By Dr. Lovell A. Jones, Health Editor

once got in trouble when I asked an advisory group on breast cancer the following question “How many Black women will need to die from breast cancer before we really do something about?” Well, you can easily guess what my length of tenure was on that advisory group. I seem not to endear myself in the cancer arena when I ask these questions or make statement like “Health Disparities Research has become an industry whose goal is not to pull themselves out of business.” Articles that continue to highlight the problem with very few new solutions, keep reminding me that struggle continues. Here we go again with a new article published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research. The paper “Racial Disparities in Breast Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment by Hormone Receptor and HER2 Status” by Lu Chen and Christopher Li states again the obvious; “Minority women were more likely to have aggressive subtypes of breast cancer and were more likely to receive non-guideline concordant treatment when compared with non-Hispanic white women. The reason I say this is the fact that over 15 YEAR AGO the “Summit Meeting on Evaluating Research on Breast Cancer

Lovell’s Food For Thought – The More Things Change, The More They Remain the Same

in African American held in September 2000 documented in two publications the same thing with recommendations to address the issue. It seems that we go over and over the same path without impacting on the disparity gap. Drs. Ngina Lythcott, Otis Brawley, Lisa Newman, Marian Johnson Thompson, maybe with this publication someone will listen this time. Over a year ago I wrote an op ed piece entitled “The Systematic Racism of Breast Cancer. Unfortunately, most of my pieces are what is termed in the newspaper business – evergreen pieces. That is nothing really changes to the article other than you might need to change the date and the numbers, but the bulk of what you have written remains the same. I opened that piece with “it seems the more things change, the more they remain the same. And when it comes to the health care disparities gap this means that no matter how much progress we make, the gap remains the same. The question is how long as a nation are we going to tolerate this? The above article in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers &amp; Prevention makes me ask the same question. Maybe if I keep bring this up, someone will take the time to read the recommendations brought forth by 132 scientists, policy makers and survivors who attended the Summit Meeting on

Evaluating Research on Breast Cancer in African American. Here are the two publications that came out of that summit, “Impact of breast cancer on African American women,” which appeared in the American Journal of Public Health in 2002 that summarized the summit meeting. Now over a decade later, we’re still seeing this gap. I know that I hear someone say that I am sowing sour grapes. You know, it seems that if you can’t do it yourself, you criticize those that are doing. Two of my mentors once said

to me, we know how passionate you are about social issues, but people will down play your message if you do not maintain your science. So I will let you decide on whether sowing sour grape. Given it would be so easy to walk away from all of this, but for one major factor and the reason I left a nice academic appointment at the University of California San Francisco over 35 years ago, the factor that breast cancer runs through my families. My mother died from breast cancer. My aunt is a survivor of breast cancer. My wife’s mother and her mother’s sisters have died from breast cancer and I have a daughter and granddaughter. So if not me, the question is who will continue to speak out on this issue? So continue to ignore me and throw stone my way, I will continue to speak out. As Frank Michel, a former editor as the Houston Chronicle once said “It is my hope that this opinion piece might just catch the eye and the mind of someone, a cancer center director or higher up, who may read this column, and who thinks at the very least, it’s worth putting up to the rigors of scientific and social inquiry to examine the message as opposed to the messenger.” Share this story online at www. stylemagazine.com.
