COMMENTARY

Beyond the Bridge: The Voter Suppression Never Ended

Jesse Jackson

National Writer

T

he stirring film “Selma” ends with Dr. King leading civil rights marchers across the bridge and to passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. It will help a new generation of Americans appreciate that historic accomplishment.

But what should not be forgotten is that the passage of the Voting Rights Act wasn’t the end of the battle.

The effort to suppress the rights of African Americans to vote continued.

Southern states and localities invented a range of techniques -- from making voting and registration difficult to gerrymandering districts to get the right results. African-Americans made progress but not without a fight.

Vital to the continuing fight was the Voting Rights Act, particularly Section 5, which gave the Department of Justice the right of pre-clearance of any

POLITICAL

As President Obama said in April, “The stark and simple truth is this -- the right to vote is threatened today -- in a way that it has not been since the Voting Rights Act became law nearly five decades ago,”

And these laws are having the effect intended. In North Carolina’s tight Senate race in 2014, Republican Tom Tillis beat incumbent Kay Hagen by about 43,000 votes (1.7 percent of the vote). Tillis had ushered through the state legislature one of the harshest voter suppression laws, eliminating seven days of early voting (and at least one Sunday of “get your souls to the polls” rallies at African-American churches), eliminating same-day registration, forcing voters to vote in their own precinct and more. 700,000 voters had voted in the now eliminated early seven-day window in 2012, 200,000 in the 2012 by-election. Some 100,000 voters, largely African-American, took advantage of same-day registration in 2012. The voters eliminated may well have exceeded the vote margin.

Similarly, Florida Gov. Rick Scott reversed his predecessor’s reforms that allowed former convicts who had served their time to regain the right to vote. That disenfranchised far more

than Scott’s margin over his Democratic opponent. In Florida, one in three African American men is permanently disenfranchised. This is the new Jim Crow on the march.

Making registration and voting easy and accessible to minorities, students, the elderly, the disabled and the working class isn’t hard. We know what works.

What we witness is simply a continuation of the battle that reached one of its turning points on the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma. The Voting Rights Act was passed, but the opponents of equal rights never surrendered.

They have continued to resist and obstruct. What the film “Selma” depicts is history, but it is also a call to action -- for the struggle for even the basic right to vote in America is still not secure.

Robinson Rallies City to Fiscal Responsibility in Race for Houston Controller

arroll Robinson challenged the City of Houston to show fiscal restraint and sensitivity to the citizens that pay its bills when he spoke at a Harris County Democratic Party.

“My commitment to the City of Houston is to challenge the status quo and to know when to say no. We need to keep spending caps in place and adhere to strict financial audits to achieve solutions that work to make Houston stronger and sounder,” said Robinson, a current Houston Community College Board Trustee. In addition, Robinson is a recently sworn treasurer of the Houston NAACP and former three term at large Houston City Council Member.

“Our programs and policies, organizations and ordinances must be analyzed to ensure where costs can be cut and where efficiency and effectiveness can be maximized. The city budget can be fixed. City fees and fines can be consolidated and/or cut for us to encourage more businesses to invest in and expand within Houston’s city limits,” he said.

Robinson has long been known for decades for his ability to team with broad coalitions to champion keeping public spending capped to ignite private business initiative.

substantial change in voting procedures or laws in states that had a history of racial suppression of the vote. But in the 2013 Supreme Court case Shelby County v. Holder, the five-person rightwing majority of the court ruled, in an opinion written Chief Justice John Roberts, that Section 5 was outmoded and unnecessary, and thus a violation of the Constitution. This breathtaking leap of judicial activism disabled the key enforcement provisions of the Voting Rights Act.

Immediately, Republicans across the country began to pass laws designed to constrict the vote, as well as elaborate gerrymanders designed to magnify the effect of white votes.

New laws in 21 states made it harder to vote. New forms of government ID were required -- in effect, a tax on those without them, largely elderly people of color. Restrictions were passed to make registration and voting harder, to cut off student participation. Voting hours were reduced and voting booths were cut and made less accessible, among other tactics. Republicans claimed that many of these measures were necessary to cut down on voter fraud but were unable to demonstrate that there was any voter fraud to worry about.

“Employees throughout the city must be rewarded for their enterprise to save city spending. Entrepreneurs must be provided an environment that encourages building their own business and homes inside Houston’s city limits and bringing their families and their fortunes with them. Growing families, young professionals, proud veterans of the military and law enforcement and retiring senior citizens must be made welcome more than ever before in Houston,” he said.

Robinson is a former college athlete that went on to law school. He is a long respected college professor at Texas Southern University in public policy and a high energy often misty-eyed entrepreneur whose father was a hotel doorman and foreign immigrant from overseas. When he was

growing up his father and mother fostered in him his love for education, hard work and putting family, faith, country and community first in all you do.

“They raised me right telling me they came here for freedom and that freedom wasn’t free. I was told that freedom must be fought for with and in every new generation.” Robinson continued, “It is our responsibility to keep our country and our city free, secure an prosperous,” he said in then conveying what is important to him that he and his wife teach to their son that will soon turn 18-years-old.

“Our city is in debt and being in debt is not the lifestyle I was told by parents or that I teach to my son is moral.

My pledge is to be the city’s financial watchdog and with an open door, the Taxpayer’s voice and best friend at city hall. Under my leadership, The Controller’s Office will be the solutions center for a financially strong and sound future at city government,” he said.

The election is Tuesday, November 2nd and early voting begins Monday, October 19.

What’s In a Name: Tracing Your Roots

istory is fascinating for all the questions and answers that can develop in one’s mind. It also can be very educational and telling as to why a person acts a certain way, looks a certain way or thinks a certain way. Throughout my personal life I have had a natural curiosity about an array of things and one that has intrigued me the most has been my family history. Being that I have the wonderful advantage of having both birth parents and adoptive parents I have wonder what makes up the elements of the woman that is view today. Others have probably questioned their past as well. The thought of truly knowing your own lineage is captivating. So why not celebrate Black History Month by taking the time to learn about your own family’s roots.

Taking on a task of this multitude seems extremely daunting since the first thought is “Where do I start?” This is where we are all so fortunate to live in a city like Houston that has an amazing library system.

Within our community of libraries that highlight the arts, science, and various cultures there is a gem among that showcases genealogical research. Known as one of the top ten libraries of its kind in the country, The Clayton Library Center for Genealogical Research is the perfect place to begin to trace your roots.

Before making the trip to the library there is some initial research that needs to begin at home. According to the Clayton Library’s website genealogical research starts by asking five simple questions. The first of these is ‘What do I know about my family?’

This may require you to conduct interviews with various relatives like your parents and grandparents to gain as much knowledge as you can about past relatives.

Take your new found knowledge to chart your pedigree. An example of the record of ancestry form can be found on the Clayton Library’s website. Make the chart by starting with yourself at the top and working backwards through your family tree naming ancestors as far as you can go. Write down any information you know about each person like their birth date and where they are from. Don’t worry if you can’t go back too far. I found when I started my research I could only go back to two generations with my grandparents. On the pedigree don’t include your siblings if you have them. Deeper, more in dept family searches require that you fill out a form called family group sheets.

Also located on the Clayton Library website. Family group sheets allow you to trace an entire family unit that includes siblings. Once these initial actions are taken pat yourself on the back because you have taken the first steps to tracing your roots and discovering the real you.

Armed with your pedigree and/or family group sheet(s) take a trip to the Clayton Library to start the real fun to answering the second question, “What do I want to learn about my family?” Personally I just wanted to find out anything I could about my birth family. I wanted to know where I fit in the family tree.

Exam your initial research and decide which ancestor you want to trace first. Librarians suggest picking someone that was born before 1930. No problem for me since I was starting with great grandparents.

Since I knew my family was from Louisiana I began my search there.

Programming and Outreach Librarian Melissa Meadows helped me with my search of my family tree.

Directing me to a book of records from Louisiana I was able to search my grandparents last name to discover my first jewel. The inklings that I had all my life was true. I was part Indian on my great grandmother side. To be exact, I am a mixed of Apache and Co-

8

manche. And on my great grandfather ’s side I am French. This trickled down to my grandparents that are together a combination of African American, Native American and French. Thus my father is the same. Hence you have me, a totally random melting pot of awesomeness!

This fact is very interesting in that if you know anything about Indian ancestry you know that the Apache tribe of Indians and Comanche tribe of Indians did not get along.

They fought a lot during the late 1700-1800s.

Their fighting led to the Comanche tribe pushing the Apache tribe to migrate to the Texas Panhandle. Then in the 1800-1850s with the Louisiana Purchase the Comanche begin to migrate further South to parts like Louisiana. It was during all of that where at least two of the members of these different tribes got together to start my family line. Further validating this was librarian Meadows that said a good percentage of African Americans, especially in the South, could trace Indian ancestry in their family tree within two generations.

Of course this knew found knowledge just peaked my curiosity even more. One question that popped up was since that I now know for sure that I am an African American Indian can I qualify to get certain benefits that Spanish American Indians get.

Well this will have to be an answer for another article as I am still researching this bit of evidence.

My research is still in process. When you get to the point where I am this leads to your third question, “What will solve my research problems?”

Librarians at Clayton say that more documentation is needed. Your fourth question then arises, “Where do I find records? The answer is the Clayton Library. They have tons upon tons of records. You literally could spend days to weeks to years searching through the volumes of information that they have. And its not second hand information but first hand accounts of things like death records dating back to 1903. Beyond records as far as major life milestones, they have records that you would think of like church attendance, people’s profession, and the most unique personal stories. You could literally find out how one of your ancestors lived their day-to-day life if you’re lucky. The place is an amazing treasure.

So now that you have this wealth of infor-

January 29 - February 4, 2015

www.StyleMagazine.com

mation, your final question is asked, “What do I do next?” You organize, record, evaluate, and identify your sources to formulate your beautiful history. Be sure to share your research with the next generation so that your family history can continue and the right, factual information is known. This could be a great family project with rewards for years to come as more and more discoveries are made.

Throughout this process of tracing my roots I found it very gratifying as it is just so cool to have the verification that I know my actual history. It solidified the deal for me. And it something I believe that everyone needs to do. The library at Clayton believes it too.

“I honestly believe that if more people looked into their genealogy and did their family research, specifically at the Clayton Library, they would understand people significantly more,” said Meadows. “You gain a greater understanding of humanity in general.

You understand why people did the things that they did and the struggles that they had to get where they are. It really makes you appreciate where you are in your own life knowing that there are so many people behind you that have led to where you are standing.”

The Clayton Library Center for Genealogical Research is located at 5300 Caroline St. and is opened Tuesday through Saturday beginning at 10am. For more information, visit www2.houstonlibrary.org/ clayton.

SPECIAL

The History of Black History Month

T

By Jo-Carolyn Goode, Managing Editor

his year commemorates the 89th anniversary of the celebration of Black History Month. First beginning as Negro History Week in 1926 by Dr. Carter G. Woodson, a noted African American historian, scholar, educator, and publisher, and the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History. The week was celebrated during the second week of February to honor the birthdays of two men who had a great impact on African Americans - Abraham Lincoln (February 12th) and Frederick Douglas (February 14th). Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation that abolished slavery and Douglas was a renowned abolitionist and civil rights leader.

In the initial phase of the week the concentration was on teaching the history of African Americans in schools. Everyone was not on aboard. Although the states of North Carolina, Delaware, and West Virginia along with schools in Baltimore and Washington, D.C. did embrace the holiday and its purpose. Despite the negative responses Dr. Woodson still considered the launch of Negro History Week a success. He felt it was essential for the survival of the African American race.

“If a race has no history, it has no worthwhile tradition, it becomes a negligible factor in the thought of the world, and it stands in danger of

SPECIAL

being exterminated. The American Indian left no continuous record. He did not appreciate the value of tradition; and where is he today? The Hebrew keenly appreciated the value of tradition, as is attested by the Bible itself. In spite of worldwide persecution, therefore, he is a great factor in our civilization,” said Dr. Woodson.

With the passage of time Negro History Week became more accepted eventually expanding from a week to a month. Students at Kent State University were the first to propose the expansion of Negro History Week in 1969.

Theywould go on to be the first to celebrate Black History Month the following year. In 1976, the U.S. government would jump on the bandwagon with the approval by then President Gerald Ford. He said Americans should seize the opportunity to honor African Americans.

His works in commemorating this holiday in recognition of the many contributions of African Americans has Dr. Woodson regarded by many as the Father of Black History.

“Waiting For Johnny Depp” Surprises with Sure Delight!

Just how far would you go to be in a film with Johnny Depp?

his weekend TUTS Underground presented their highly-entertaining, edgy musical Waiting for Johnny DEPP. The whimsical and spirited musical was written and arranged by a host of talented composers and songwriters. Composer Janet Cole-Valdez is an award-winning musical theatre writer, Gold Record artist, and former Motown songwriter who teamed up with Deedee O’Malley, a multi-award winning singer, songwriter, actress and dancer to bring us this world premier theatrical hit.

“Waiting for Jonny Depp,” is a one-woman musical show starring Brooke Wilson as the zany Rita Donatella, a struggling actress from NY currently obsessed (sometimes hilariously delusional) with landing a movie role featuring movie mega star Johnny Depp.

The story details many adventures and sacrifices actors go through for their craft, while teaching us a valuable lesson on what is really important in life. The show depicts the main character triumphs and turmoil’s as she sacrifices everything she values including her family, friends, favorite things, and even herself to land this infamous role. It is a story that is funny, and emotionally gut wrenching as you see her dreams of being rich and famous flicker and fade. The show features several catchy, memorable musical tunes such as W.T. F., Craig’s List, and I’ll Do Anything for My

Craft.

Brooke Wilson, a local actor from Houston, is brilliant in this role as Rita Donatella. It takes an exceptional talent to perform a one women show. Wilson is a true triple-threat, flawlessly singing, acting, and dancing her way throughout the entire production.

She manages to keep the audience engaged with her character’s quick humor and hilarious monologues.

There are bits of audience participation and adlibs as well so you are in for a delightfully, funny, provocative treat! However be warned that the show features catchy tunes with profanity-riddled hooks such as: Kiss my ASS, and W.T.F. so this is definitely material for a mature audience.

The show, a new production of TUTS Underground, is the wonderful concept of Artistic Director Bruce Lumpkin, whose goal is to bring Houston audiences more affordable and edgier musicals. Waiting for Johnny Depp was such a surprise! I rate it a must see, so grab a friend or two and leave the kids at home.

You will be in for a spirited, funny as hell, rousing night well spent!

The Houston premiere of Waiting for Johnny Depp, The Zany Adventures of an Actress Up for the Role of A Lifetime; is currently running at Zilkha Hall in The Hobby Center for the Performing Arts, January 22nd- through January 31st so hurry and get your tickets now!

Tickets for Waiting for Johnny Depp are $25 to $49 and can be purchased online at www.tutsunderground.com or www.tuts.com or by phone at 713558-TUTS.

BOOK REVIEW Our Auntie Rosa

By Terri

Schichenmeyer, Literary Writer

O

nce, many years ago, your grandmother chased your grandpa out of the house.

Nobody remembers why or what happened afterward; the particulars are lost, and they aren’t important anymore, really. The laugh-til-you-cry telling, the knee-slapping, each embellishment as years go by – that’s what truly matters.

Family stories are the glue that holds you all together. And in the new book “Our Auntie Rosa”

by Sheila McCauley Keys (with Eddie B. Allen, Jr.), you’ll read one family’s recollections of an icon.

For much of their early lives, Sylvester McCauley’s children didn’t know who their favorite aunt really was. Sure, they’d read about the woman who launched the Civil Rights movement. They’d heard her name said with pride. But for most of them, it took awhile to make the connection: the woman on the bus that day in Montgomery was their Auntie Rosa Parks.

Even after she moved north, after she and her husband and mother came to live with the eleven-member McCauley family in Detroit, their Auntie Rosa didn’t much speak of her actions. The nieces and nephews asked her sometimes, but she usually waved questions away. The past wasn’t important to her then.

Family was.

The Parks never had any children themselves, so the McCauley kids were happy to absorb any extra love. Their Auntie Rosa was a good cook who loved to entertain. She was steady, supportive, and resourceful but she encouraged independence. An elegant, sharp dresser, Parks was never showy in manner or accomplishment – although she did save all her hate mail.

To the children of her beloved brother and to those she enfolded in her circle, Parks embodied

strength and fearlessness. She made sure there was food on tables more than once, and clothes on young backs. Through her mistakes, she taught the power of apology. She counseled them not to judge as they’d been judged, but she showed them that there’s a limit to forgiveness. In her latter years, they say, she was the same calm, determined person she’d always been.

And even well into her eighties, she vowed to keep doing what needed done.

With the approaching 50th anniversary of Rosa Parks’ famous act of defiance, you’re likely to hear a lot about her in the next year. But when was the last time you thought about Mr. Parks?

Yeah, same here. That’s why “Our Auntie Rosa” is so important.

Filled with memories of the Parks’ lives within the raucous, loving McCauley family, this book offers things history doesn’t tell you. Author Sheila McCauley Keys (with Eddie B. Allen, Jr.) weaves her siblings’ memories into a treasury of life, not politics or action.

We meet people important to Rosa Parks and, through them, we’re warmed by tales of a real person – tales that, if you never met Parks, will make you mourn for it.

I absolutely loved this memory-filled delight, I loved its balance and I think you will, too. If you’ve ever wondered about the quiet, tiny giant behind the act, “Our Auntie Rosa” is a book to chase down.

You Can Never Out Work A Bad Diet

W

e live in a city w h e r e Te x Mex is King, smothered catfish for Sunday brunch is a staple, food trucks on every corner, sushi swims in daily and home of the MEGA margarita. Yes, Houston Jade Gold is a city with some of the best food & libations in the court and our scales tend to agree!

How can anyone stick to clean eating or health food options when temptation surrounds us daily?

Do you want to lose weight, gain muscle, and change your body—but without worrying about whether you’re eating the right foods or giving up everything you love to eat on a regular basis? I know you thought I was about to tell you, you can “have it your way” but the truth is, there is a happy medium.

After all, countless diets pronounce that they provide the ultimate solution to your goals. Only problem is, they all differ in the types of foods they suggest, the timing of meals, and how much you can eat, when you can eat, what a cheat meal looks like and how often you should have them.

Truthfully, all diets are dependent on one common factor: macronutrient composition. That is, the protein, carbohydrate, and fat content in the foods you eat. Macronutrients are the single most important factor that determines a diet’s success or failure. Every diet has its own macronutrient manipulation.

So who’s right? Recent evidence in the In-

ternational Journal of Obesity suggests that the diet you can stick to best is the right one – regardless of the exact breakdown of macronutrients. But this still leaves questions about how to determine your needs to simplify eating or can you really just out work a bad diet? Consider this your final answer and the guide you need to finally determine the most effective plan for you.

A lot of people believe that their exercise program will somehow make up for the way they eat.

They use the excuse that they can eat whatever they want because their exercise offsets the excess calories taken in. This way of thinking is typically a set up to fail. Most people do not end up with a six pack and really low percentage of body fat eating whatever they want whenever they want. The body just doesn’t work that way. Often a person does not realize the amount of calories they consume and they also think they burn a lot more calories than they actually do. The majority of people have no clue how many calories are in the foods that they eat, but justify them with spending 30 minutes jogging or in the gym. The bottom line is that healthy eating and adequate exercise are the way to good health and a tone body.

In the same 3 minutes it takes to consume 800-1000 calories of food a person only burns approximately 40-45 calories in high impact cardio exercise.

It takes a lot more effort to burn 800 calories than it does to eat 800 calories. Yes, we all know that it takes less time to eat then exercise but the comparison helps us realize that one donut can defeat the results of an hour of aerobics. Is it worth it? The excess calories rarely get burned off. In diet vs. exercise you can

never out train a bad diet. The bad diet will win every time. For someone who desires to be lean it takes eating the right amount of proper foods and an effective exercise routine. Receiving the maximum results from exercise will not happen without eating the right foods.

They go hand in hand. Most of us are not Olympic Athletes who train up to 10 hours per day. They are an exception.

DIET RECIPES FOR SUCCESS Eat 4-6 small meals per day Snack on bananas, non fat yogurt, nuts and seeds Cut down on portion size – a fist full is enough Choose lean proteins – tuna, salmon, egg whites, lean beef, turkey breast, ground turkey Increase water drinking and stick to non caffeinated beverages – an average person adds an extra 500-800 calories per day drinking soda Choose healthy fats – extra virgin olive oil Eat high fiber carbs – corn tortillas, oatmeal, whole wheat pasta, whole grain bread Cut back on alcohol intake Don’t think you have to clean your plate Track daily calories – it surprises a lot of people how many calories they actually consume

So in short, know, that clean eating takes effort and sheer desire to be accountable for what you put in your mouth. If you are every going to win the battle of eating for purpose vs eating for pleasure just remember, you will never out work a bad diet.
