Business as Usual in Short Council Meeting

By Francis Taylor, Staff Writer

In this week’s short city council meeting the council members adopted a resolution amending the Fiscal Year 2020-2021 Budget approving funds in the amount of $44,500 from the General Fund for the South Bay Workforce Investment Board, Inc. to continue operating, enhancing the Inglewood Teen Center, by providing virtual services during the pandemic.

They also adopted a resolution

authorizing the Mayor to sign SERCO, Inc.’s request for consent to assign Agreement No. 14-142 to LAZ Karp Associates, LLC. Another agenda item was a recommendation that the council reject all bids received for Police Service Equipment and Supplies, per Bid No. RFB-0127.

The council did adopt a resolution providing for the borrowing of funds for Fiscal Year 2020-2021 and the issuance and sale of the City of Inglewood 2021

tax and revenue anticipation note in an aggregate amount not to exceed $10,000,000.

The council also accepted a staff report’s recommendation to adopt Ordinance No. 21-04 approving the following amendments to Inglewood Municipal Code Chapter 11, related to Building Regulations: Deleting Article 17 (Residential Solar Permitting) in its entirety, and replacing it with an updated Article 17; and Add Article 18 (Electric Vehicle

Charging Stations Expedited Review Process) to adopt an expedited, streamlined permitting process for electric vehicle charging stations as required by Assembly Bill 1236.

Several Inglewood residents expressed their support of President Elect Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

The U.S. Senate unanimously passed legislation that would better protect historic African American cemeteries.

The measure also paves the way for the creation of an African American Burial Grounds Network.

“We know that for too long in too many parts of our country, Black families were blocked from burying their loved ones in white cemeteries,” Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) remarked.

“These men and women were freed slaves, civil rights champions, veterans, mothers, fathers, workers in communities. We need to act now before these sites are lost to the ravages of time or development,” Brown concluded.

Initially introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2019 by Congresswoman Alma Adams (D-NC) and Congressman Donald McEachin (D-Va.), the bill primarily addresses at-risk Black cemeteries in South Carolina.

Still, it authorizes the Department of the Interior to conduct a thorough investigation of African American burial grounds across the country.

According to a Smithsonian Magazine report, the study would “lay the groundwork for the network, allowing experts to coordinate research efforts, create a nationwide database

of Black cemeteries, and receive grant funding.”

Sen. Brown and now ex-Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) later introduced the measure in the Senate. It now heads back to the House for a formal vote.

The action is yet another recent legislative attempt to honor and preserve Black burial grounds.

In 2019, then-Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), along with Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) and Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), were joined by Reps. Gregory Meeks, Yvette Clarke, and Adriano Espaillat (all of New York), and announced the African Burial Ground International Memorial Museum and Education Center Act’s reintroduction.

That legislation would establish a museum and education center at the African Burial Ground in Lower Manhattan.

This site currently holds the remains of an estimated 15,000 free and enslaved Africans and early-generation African Americans from the colonial era.

The National Park Service would manage the museum in consultation with the African Burial Ground Advisory Council, which would be established by the legislation.

“The African Burial Ground is culturally and historically significant to New York and the nation. The establishment of a museum and an education center at this cemetery will

illuminate the plight, courage, and humanity of the free and enslaved Africans who helped create New York,” Sen. Schumer told NNPA Newswire in 2019.

“As a nation, we must always remember the tremendous burdens and afflictions experienced by those who were brought here in bondage, and who fought – for generations – against impossible odds to achieve the full measure of dignity and equality and justice that they were due. I am proud to cosponsor this legislation, and I urge my colleagues to pass this bill and for the president to sign it into law.”

The African American Burial Grounds initiative would provide grant opportunities and technical assistance to local communities as they work to recover and preserve those historic sites.

According to the letter signed by more than 60 organizations dedicated to cultural heritage and preservation, cemeteries are places of tribute and memory, connecting communities with their past.

“Unfortunately, many AfricanAmerican burial grounds from both before and after the Civil War are in a state of disarray or inaccessibility,” the letter stated.

“By creating a national network, the African American Burial Grounds Network Act would help re-discover the existence of burial grounds ahead of commercial development, helping to avoid disturbances that create distress and heartache in communities.

Preserving and protecting these sacred sites, and the stories they tell is an integral part of our American heritage.”

Smart, caring and loyal Vice President Kamala Harris is perfect choice for history

“Whatever you want to do, if you want to be great at it, you have to love it and be able to make sacrifices for it.” - Maya AngelouBy Kenneth Miller, Publisher

When Kamala Harris was just an infant her parents were in Oakland advocating for civil rights, and a twoyear old Harris was asked “What do you want?” “Preedom, Preedom,” she mumbled.

That story was recited by longtime Harris friend, Amelia Ashley-Ward, Publisher of The Sun Reporter, a black newspaper which covers the bay area in San Francisco and Oakland. Baby Harris was shouting about freedom way back then.

Ward first met Harris in 2001 at a women’s conference in San Francisco.

“I thought she was lively and easy to talk to. She was smart and brilliant.”

Ward explained to Inglewood Today.

From that moment, Ward says the two kept in touch with each other ultimately forming a bond of friendship that would become instrumental in the journey of Harris becoming the first Black to serve as Vice President of the United States of America.

No one visualized it at the time, not even Ward, but when she staked the reputation of the family newspaper on Harris first major political bid against incumbent San Francisco Attorney General Terence Hallinan it launched this relationship into another orbit.

Hallinan had been a longtime family friend and staunch supporter of the publication.

“I had to call him and explain to him that I was supporting Harris. He said support me now and next time you can support her. But I supported Kamala Harris and that broke up a long friendship,” added Ward.

Harris got another big campaign boost from Ward when the publisher rented a cable car and loaded it with 30 of the most powerful Black women in San Francisco and Harris rode in it for four hours drumming up support from various organizations that propelled her to victory in the SF Attorney General race.

“I’ve always thought God had a little something extra for her,” said Ward.

Harris has not forgot where she came from annually calling or texting the 63-year Ward for her birthday in September.

“We’ve celebrated milestones together and mourned together. We lost our mother a year apart from each other.”

So, for Ward to see Harris breaking history barriers, she was also the first Black Attorney General of California, is a thrilling accomplishment.

“I cried when she was giving her VP speech,” cited Ward. Harris texted her

moments afterward the announcement.

Ward believes that Harris is going to give the best of herself to make a great teammate for President Joe Biden.

“I knew she was going to keep climbing and I was hoping that she would become president,” concluded Ward.

Veteran political staffer Heather Hutt who served as District Director for California State Senator Isadore Hall before joining Harris United States Senator staff.

Hutt, a Los Angeles native, credits her sister Ingrid Hutt, who while servi9ng as president of the New

Frontier Democratic Club introduced to her Harris, a connection that linked her to history.

Heather served on Harris United States Senate staff for four years as deputy state director and state director, respectively.

Chargers Celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. with MLK Elementary Chargers & Local Students Reflect on Martin Luther King Jr.’s Legacy

By Hayley Elwood Team Reporter

To commemorate Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the Los Angeles Chargers and two fifth grade classrooms from MLK Elementary in Los Angeles Unified School District virtually came together

to celebrate his life and legacy.

On what would have been the civil rights leader’s 92nd birthday, defensive tackle Justin Jones and wide receiver Jason Moore joined the students in reading sections of the book, “Who Was Martin Luther King, Jr.?”

Both players noted how special it was to not only connect with the next generation but be able to share the legacy of Dr. King with the kids.

“It’s always a chance to put some good information in young minds, so when it’s time for them to start

dreaming, it’s a chance that can happen if you really grind for it,” Jones said. “I feel like everyone, whether you know (Martin Luther King Jr.’s) whole story and all the details, you should at least know what happened, especially if

point across. So to reemphasize the things that he did, and to continue to inspire other people who may want to be the next MLK or not, I think it’s definitely important to continue to share his legacy.”

you’re an African American. I feel like that’s vital because it’s our history, it’s American history, it’s our history as a country.”

“I feel like I was kind of helping his purpose,” Moore mentioned. “I’m a big legacy guy, I think it’s cool to share somebody else’s legacy and the things they fought for. MLK is a global icon for the way he was able to lead our people in such a hard time and do it in a peaceful way. I think it’s big for people to understand what he did because you don’t have to be violent to get your

Additionally, Chanelle Thomas, the school’s principal, said it was beneficial having players who looked like the majority of her students share their own insight along with the story of Dr. King.

The Chargers are providing copies of the book for every student at the school as part of their First Downs for First Book initiative. This was important for the team and school alike to ensure students keep their passion for literacy high, even in these virtual times, as that’s something King Jr. was passionate about as well.

“Our goal right now with distance learning is to make sure students have an equitable and rigorous, high-level instruction day every day,” mentioned Veronica Moscoso, Community of Schools Administrator. “Having players read excerpts from the book and letting the kids know they’re also going to receive that really is part of what we do with making sure kids have access to instruction and literacy and we give students multiple opportunities in different ways to gain that knowledge.”

But while it’s key for students to celebrate the life of Dr. King during the month of January, Thomas said it’s important for them to recognize his impact beyond the first month of the year. “(MLK’s) ideals are applicable today,” Thomas said. “Right now, our world is so different for us and we’re experiencing a new normal.

But we always have to have faith that things are going to get better … Knowing that we’re always being lifelong learners, knowing that we have to not just learn about his teaching, but live it. We have to in our everyday lives, be respectful towards one another. We have to make decisions in our lives that affect not only us, but others around us in a positive way by giving back to the community like Jason and Justin did. (Those) are the ideals we have as a school; we’re safe, we’re responsible, we’re respectful. We represent peace, we have peace in our hearts … We don’t judge.”

Sports & Entertainment Chargers Agree to Terms with Brandon Staley as Head Coach

IT News Wire

The Los Angeles Chargers agreed to terms with Brandon Staley as the 17th head coach in franchise history. Staley served as the defensive coordinator in 2020 for the Los Angeles Rams after spending three seasons as the outside linebackers coach for Denver (2019) and Chicago (2017-18). Staley’s introductory press conference will be held on Thurs., January 21, with more details to follow.

“It doesn’t matter if you’ve known Brandon for five minutes or five years, what quickly becomes apparent is the amount of energy and passion he approaches each and every moment with,” said President of Football Operations John Spanos. “The consistency of that enthusiasm is unique and, most importantly, it drives his ability to connect with people. His coaching journey to this particular moment is inspiring; if not for the

Aaron Donald named PFWA 2020 Defensive Player of the Year

sheer perseverance and determination of it all, then certainly for the dramatic results it has produced for the teams and players he has coached. I know it’s cliché but I know Brandon quite literally cannot wait to get to work. I also know we cannot be more excited to have him as the Head Coach of the Los Angeles Chargers.”

Staley has coached four Pro Bowlers, some of the most dominant defensive NFL players in recent memory — Khalil Mack in 2018, Von Miller in 2019 and Aaron Donald and Jalen Ramsey this season. Three of those players (Mack, Donald and Ramsey) were also recognized by The Associated Press as first-team All-Pro selections.

“It’s not just that Brandon possesses a tremendous football mind that makes him the ideal Head Coach to lead our team forward,” said General Manager Tom Telesco. “It’s that he excels in the ability to effectively tailor, apply and communicate his concepts to players.

It’s clear that Brandon will not be outworked, he’s the football equivalent of a gym rat, and that has earned him the

universal respect of the players he has coached throughout his journey.”

“It’s hard to put into words just how excited I am for the opportunity to be the Los Angeles Chargers’ Head Coach,” said Staley. “While this is certainly a dream come true, it’s also a dream that’s just beginning. There’s a reason this was probably the most sought after job out there — from ownership, to the fans, to the city, to the men in that locker room — it’s the total package. I can’t thank the Spanos family and Tom Telesco enough for placing their faith in us, and by the time everyone is reading this quote in a press release, we’ll already be hard at work developing a program Chargers fans everywhere can be proud of.”

As one of the most progressive defensive minds in football, Staley overhauled a Rams defense to become the best defense in football in 2020.

The unit ranked No. 1 in total defense, passing defense and scoring defense while finishing as the third-best rushing defense. The Rams defensive unit improved by more than four points per game in scoring defense from 2019 to post the best single-season average allowed by the team in nearly two decades.

Staley brought innovation on defense from college to the NFL, serving as outside linebackers coach in Chicago (2017-18) and Denver (2019). He served on Vic Fangio’s staff in Denver after following the former defensive coordinator from Chicago. The 2019 Broncos defense led the NFL in red zone scoring, allowing a touchdown on just 39.1 percent of red zone drives — the second-lowest allowed by any NFL defense in the last five seasons. In his two years with Chicago, the Bears led the NFL in takeaways (58) while tying for No. 2 with 92 sacks. Staley was part of a staff in 2018 that coached the topranked scoring defense in football (17.7 points per game).

CIF Cancels Football Playoffs IT News Wire

By Stu Jackson, therams.com

Rams defensive lineman Aaron Donald has been named the Pro Football Writers of American (PFWA) 2020 Defensive Player of the Year, the organization announced this week.

This marks Donald’s second time receiving the award; he also earned it following his record-setting 2018 season.

Donald finished the 2020 regular season tied with the Saints’ Trey Hendrickson for second in the NFL in sacks with 13.5, bringing him to

85.5 for his career – two shy of tying outside linebacker Leonard Little’s franchise career record of 87.5.

In addition to those 13.5 sacks, Donald also tallied 45 total tackles, four forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and one pass breakup while playing in all 16 games.

Donald was named to the PFWA AllNFL and All-NFC teams.

The CIF Southern Section made the brutal high school fall sports schedule official this week announcing that championships for football, girls volleyball, water polo and crosscountry will be canceled.

The likelihood of Inglewood and Morningside playing any abbreviated schedule at all remains in limbo because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and Los Angeles County and California State laws prohibiting gatherings.

The only sports cleared to begin Jan. 25 are track and field, cross-country, golf and tennis. But stay-at-home orders have to be lifted to proceed.

The City Section also announced it

was canceling its fall playoffs but still hopes to hold a City championship in cross-country March 27.

It will be up to leagues to decide whether to play any regular-season games if health guidelines permit.

The canceling of playoffs and championships increases the window of time to play regular-season games.

High school basketball is still hopeful that their season can be played beginning in late spring.

Ironically, youth sports competitions took place in recent weeks at private facilities in basketball, volleyball, football and baseball. County health officials have done little to punish violators other than posting signs.

The Lion Queen

BUPPIE | BUSINESS Inglewood’s Beauty Matriarch

The Queen’s Gambit

By Michelle Lyons, Columnist

In the game of chess, the Queen is the most powerful position on the board. Kamala Harris is not only a Queen, but she is the definition of Black Girl Magic because she played the hand that God dealt her to perfection. She is now the Vice President of The United States of America, the second most powerful person in the World.

Vice President Kamala Harris is the perfect example of someone living The American Dream.

This is a woman who was born in Oakland, California. She is a daughter of immigrants, who was raised by a single mother. She went to a Historical Black College for undergrad, and she has been breaking glass ceilings ever since.

It is her ambition, that today is causing the Nation to dream a lot bigger.

I started volunteering for Vice President Kamala Harris in November 2019. A lot of my friends thought I was crazy. They judged Kamala because of her past record as a D.A. in San Francisco, and they rightfully should have.

But I saw things differently, as a Christian I know that God can use our past indiscretions for the greater good. Meaning Kamala could have learned from her past career, and subsequently she can be chosen to be an effective game changer.

In December 2019, when Kamala Harris dropped out of the election I was confused. I never believed for Continued on page 8

It is a well known fact that Inglewood is the epicenter of beauty supply stores in Los Angeles. Inglewood has the most beauty supply stores and salons per family than other surrounding cities in Los Angeles County. Amidst all of the people that have entered and exited the industry over the years, one woman has been a pillar of service, expertise and experience through the years. Her name is Shirley Bell. Shirley started her career in beauty over 40 years ago in Compton to work for Handy’s Beauty Supply, which was a black owned beauty supply store. Although she worked in Compton, her heart was always in Inglewood as she and her family lived in Inglewood and her children are graduates of Inglewood High School.

About 15 years ago, she transitioned her career to work for Sol Beauty Supply in Inglewood. With Shirley’s vast knowledge of market, products and the industry as a whole, Sol Beauty quickly became a favorite shopping destination for the women and men in Inglewood. Black women are often assigned the role of ‘Muva’ ‘Auntie’, ‘Sis’, ‘Confidante’ and ‘BFF’ and Ms. Shirley has carried all of these titles.

She understands that her presence is an extension of every black mother - a role that she embraces with grace and compassion. Shirley’s motherly smile and direction on how to treat one’s hair, face and body over the years as well as a few ‘Jewels of Wisdom’ passed down from her own Grandmother has been her trademark. When she is not in the store, all the customers notice when Ms. Shirley takes a day off. Another

love of Ms. Shirley’s are our babies.

Ms. Shirley always compliments them on being beautiful, talks to the infants and encourages our teens.

Sol Beauty is now Glow + Flow Beauty Supply and Ms. Shirley has not missed a beat. Customers notice the new name and ownership but Ms. Shirley is still a vital member of the team. Her smile still lights up the store and she still knows all the products like the back of her hand. Most importantly, Ms. Shirley is still greeting and serving the community with love, care and warmth. She has dedicated her life to the betterment of women through beauty, style and wellness. We celebrate Ms. Shirley for being there for us all these years. She is one of a kind!

“She was a Black woman with grace and pride and she had heart,” stated Heather.

Heather could not foresee Harris becoming vice president because the political climate that intensified under Donald Trump promoted white superiority and racism.

“No, I didn’t see having a Black woman anything. When we ran for president it got hard for her, but then Joe Biden restored my hope,” Hutt shared.

“She wanted to make sure that micro businesses were included in the Small Business Administration funding,” and it was.

So, a dozen years after the nation elected its first Black President Barack Obama it has inaugurated its first Black Vice President in Kamala Harris.

It’s a glass ceiling that few believed would ever be broken, and the woman whose mother challenged to be whatever she wanted to be is a pioneer.

America has come a long way from when Rosa Parks rejected bus driver James F. Blake’s order on December 1, 1955 in Montgomery, Alabama to January 20, 2021 when Kamala Harris placed her hand on Thurgood Marshall’s bible to become the first Black woman and first person of color to serve as vice

one minute that she ran out of money.

I thought, “The first black woman to become a Senator in California is not running out of money to campaign.

That sounds ridiculous”. Kamala Harris is way too smart and too savvy, and as she said it herself, “She does not take no for an answer”. Anyone who thinks Amy Klobuchar and Andrew Yang can outraise Kamala Harris is naive. What I believe “really happened” is that she only ran to expose herself to The Nation. I believe she was always aiming to be Vice President because of how different she was from her predecessors: being female, African American and Asian descent, going to a Historical Black College, being a prosecutor and more.

She knew that she needed someone like Joe to open the door for her, and in the end, Joe needed her and the power

of Black Girl Magic to get elected.

Life is more about how you play the game, then the cards you are dealt. In chess, a Queen is the most powerful position on the board, but in life you must become one to gain that power.

Luckily, in life the only difference between a Queen and a pawn is how you use your brain. With that said, God has extreme favor over Vice President Kamala Harris. She is beautiful, smart, and extremely powerful. Hopefully, she stays in alignment with God and our ancestors, and uses her power to help emancipate minorities and women from our unjust criminal and foster care system. (We also have to cultural start pushing family, healthy eating and education more, which just her presence does). Because Too Much is given, much is required, and now that she on that Throne she must deliver for the people, or in 2024…

America Honors Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

By Stacy M. Brown, NNPA Newswire Senior National Correspondent @StacyBrownMedia

Fifty-three years after Dr. Martin Luther King’s assassination, and 38 years after his birth date became a national federal holiday, America is now facing another pivotal moment of national racial reckoning.

While parades and other festive gatherings for the heroic civil rights leader will not occur this year because of the COVID-19 pandemic, national and local organizations throughout the country still will honor Dr. King’s legacy.

In Maryland, the nonprofit Civic Works plans to welcome groups of volunteers to participate in its annual MLK Day of Service.

The 9 a.m. plans include 150 volunteers banding together across nine sites [both physically with Covid-19 safety precautions, and virtually] to help green a vacant lot in Baltimore, landscape urban farms, sort clothes for AmeriCorps members, writing cards to seniors, and clean public spaces.

The Brooklyn Academy of Music – or BAM – hosts an 11 a.m. tribute that includes a keynote address from Black Lives Matter Global Network founder Alicia Garza. The event will stream on bam.org and also BAM’s YouTube and Vimeo channels.

In Florida, the Dr. Martin Luther King Celebration Committee of St. Johns County will host the 36th annual Commemorative Event in the Lewis Auditorium in St. Augustine, FL and online as a virtual event in a celebration of the memory of Dr. King and the influence he had in the passage of the Civil Rights Act in 1964.

NNPA President and CEO, Dr. Benjamin F. Chavis Jr., is the featured speaker.

Dr. Chavis will address the theme, “Our Lives Begin to End the Day We Become Silent about Things That Matter.” Chavis stated, “Dr. King’s dream and courage for freedom, justice and equality for all must reaffirmed and practiced in 2021 across America and throughout the world.”

The Presidential Inaugural Committee is hosting “United We Serve: A Celebration of the National MLK Day of Service.”

Participants include the Rev. Dr. Bernice King; Martin Luther King III; Chesca; Rep. Sharice Davids, D-Kan.; Rosario Dawson; Andra Day; Yo-Yo Ma; the Rev. Al Sharpton; Sean Patrick Thomas; Diane Warren; Lynn Whitfield; and Bebe Winans.

The event will be streamed live on at bideninaugural.org and on PIC social media platforms such as YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook from 8:00–9:00 p.m. Eastern on Jan. 18.

“This year’s inauguration will look different amid the pandemic, so we’re committed to providing dynamic programming that will engage more Americans than ever before, all from the safety of their homes,” said PIC

CEO Tony Allen in a news release.

“With the help of popular musicians and artists, rising stars, national, state and local leaders, and everyday Americans, we’re going to celebrate our diversity, honor those who are committed to service, and reflect on our history. We will come together as one nation, America united.”

In Houston, the 43rd Annual Original MLK Day Virtual Experience & Live Parade of Giving occurs at MacGregor Park at 5225 Calhoun Road. There, residents are asked to drop-off donations to be distributed to those in need.

In Pennsylvania, the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank celebrates Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy with its “Food justice is social justice” campaign.

The food bank will open one of its warehouses to 30 volunteers to prepare food for distribution across the organization’s 11-county service area from 9 a.m. to noon.

In Atlanta, the Beloved Community Commemorative Service caps a weeklong celebration of Dr. King’s life that features a keynote address by Bishop T.D. Jakes. The event occurs online and features remarks from Grammy-winning gospel artist Kirk Franklin and U.N. Deputy Secretary-General Amina J. Mohammed.

The event will stream on Facebook and The King Center website.

In California, Stanford University’s fourday online festival honoring Dr. King’s life and legacy culminates on the holiday with musical performances, documentary films, and conversations inspired by the question, Where do we go from here?

“I hope the King Holiday can become an occasion for informing people about King’s legacy and how it relates to the King Institute, but more broadly, how it relates to the San Francisco Bay Area,” Clayborne Carson, the Martin Luther King, Jr. Centennial Professor of History, Emeritus, at Stanford, and director of the King Institute, told the university’s news service.

“One of the things that will be made clear is that the King family has had a very special relationship with this area and with Stanford.”

In Detroit, the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History hosts film screenings and other programming that includes a museum-wide live stream of the keynote speech by PBS White House correspondent Yamiche Alcindor.

The Rev. Dr. Bernice King posted a heartfelt thank you on Twitter to all those observing her late father’s holiday.

“Thank you for the loving, sincere ways that you honored and celebrated my father on his birthday,” Bernice King wrote in the post that included a photo of her, her father, and her mother.
