Dionne Faulk, District 4 & Morningside High Celebration Inglewood Today News
I moved to Los Angeles in 1982. Consequently I’ve missed four of my five ten-year reunions. That’s why I was so personally impressed with this event that I covered this past Saturday afternoon.It was about as close to a class reunion as I am ever likely to share. The members of the gathering were all on a mission to honor a gentleman that they all genuinely loved, admired and respected. Of course as we always do, any mission is likely to take on an aura not unlike a party, or in this case, a class reunion among old friends, and as we all waited for the man of honor to arrive location descended into boisterous laughter, hugging and fist bumping, as age old memories filled the air. The group welcomed me into the crowd as if I was an orphaned classmate, which little did they know was appropriate because as I soon discovered, I was in the company of a bunch of underclassmen, all of whom,
as best I could gather amidst the merriment, their average graduation year was the class of 1976, at Morningside High School, while I hailed from the class of ‘72, which made me a senior. Walking through the door, I was met by a lovely young lady that introduced herself as Melissa. She told me that everyone should be onsight in a few minutes, and within Continued on page 4
Celebrating Richard Roundtree: Reflecting on the profound impact of ‘Shaft,’ shaped by a trailblazing action hero Inglewood Today News
Richard Roundtree, the iconic actor who starred in the 1971 film “Shaft,” passed away on October 24 at the age of 81 from pancreatic cancer. Known for his role as the private detective John Shaft, Roundtree’s performance in the film solidified his status as a star. Despite being typecasted in the role, Roundtree acknowledged that the constant association with Shaft was a testament to the character’s lasting impact. “Shaft” was a groundbreaking film that featured a Black actor in the lead role and was produced on a low budget. Directed by Gordon Parks, the movie not only saved MGM from financial troubles but also paved the way for future Black action stars. Roundtree’s portrayal of Shaft was a significant moment
in the history of Black cinema. Before Roundtree, actors like Sidney Poitier, Jim Brown, and Woody Strode had made their mark in the industry, but it was Roundtree’s role in “Shaft” that truly made history. His character became an iconic figure, taking on the mob and obstacles while enjoying relationships with women along the way. The film, despite its flaws, was a response to the social climate at the time. Born in New Rochelle, New York, in 1942, Roundtree faced challenges in his early life, including racial discrimination. However, he found success as a model before transitioning to acting. He joined the off-Broadway
Negro Ensemble Company and honed his acting skills. When he was cast as Shaft, Roundtree initially struggled to understand the role and the filmmaking process. However, audiences never noticed his discomfort, and the film propelled his career. In the years that followed “Shaft,” Roundtree worked to break away from the image of the character and explore different roles. He appeared in films like “Earthquake” and “Charley OneEye” but faced limited opportunities outside of the Shaft franchise. Despite the challenges, Roundtree’s survival in the industry was a testament to his talent and resilience. In recent years, Roundtree had more opportunities to showcase his versatility as an actor. He appeared Continued on page 2

18th Annual Taste of Soul Festival Celebrates Black Culture, Music, Food and Community Joe W. Bowers Jr. | California Black Media
From 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. last Saturday, the 18th annual Taste of Soul family festival took place on Crenshaw Boulevard, known as the Mecca of Black culture and business in Los Angeles. This event is recognized as the largest one day ‘free’ street festival on the West Coast. Founded in 2005 by civil rights activist and CEO/Executive Publisher of the Los Angeles Sentinel, Danny Bakewell Sr., the Taste of Soul festival has grown from attracting 15,000 attendees to drawing crowds of nearly 350,000 visitors annually, including families, politicians, and celebrities. U.S. Senate candidate, Congressmember Barbara Lee (DCA-12) was among the local and state politicians at the Taste of Soul either campaigning or attending to constituents. Reflecting on the festival’s evolution, Bakewell said, “This has far outreached my wildest dreams. I wanted a place in our community where Black people could come out and share all the things our culture represents.” Bakewell emphasizes that while the event is rooted in the Black community, everyone is welcome. The Taste of Soul festival has grown to be a significant economic catalyst for the local community, contributing
to the revitalization of South Los Angeles by showcasing the very best the community has to offer. This year’s Taste of Soul celebrity chair was the stand-up comedian and actress Tiffany Haddish. Joining her as event chairs were Mayor Karen Bass, LA County Supervisor Holly Mitchell, LA City Councilmembers Marqueece Harris Dawson (8th District), and Heather Hutt (10th District). Festival Co-Chairs were Councilmember Curren Price (9th District), Assemblymembers Reggie Jones-Sawyer (D-Los Angeles), Issac
Bryan (D-Ladera Heights), and Mike Gipson (D-Carson), LAUSD Board Member George McKenna, CBS/ KCAL 9 Anchor Pat Harvey, and the Law firm of Ivie, McNeil, Wyatt, Purcell, and Diggs. At the festival, Bass said, “This is the best block party in town. It was a wonderful gathering and celebration of the community. It is peaceful. Everybody has a good time. We’re supporting local businesses, especially restaurants. So, it’s a boon to the economy.” Food is a major attraction of
the festival. Out of the 300 local, ethnic, and international vendors that took part in the festival, over 100 were food vendors. These included some of the finest chefs in the world, with soul food being the main attraction among the dishes being offered. The event offered live performances on four stages dedicated to Gospel, R&B, Jazz, Dance, and local artists. Among featured musical acts were the Whispers, the Delfonics Experience, and Switch. A new addition to the festival was Tiffany Haddish’s ‘She Ready’ Comedy Lounge & Beer Garden. The proceeds from ticket sales go to Haddish’s ‘She Ready’ foundation for youth impacted by foster care and to sponsor Mother’s in Action to support their initiatives. Additionally, the festival provided a platform for social & healthcare resources, fun pavilions promoting social awareness, exhibits showcasing local and international visual artists, and curated events for children. The Taste of Soul festival stands as a vibrant celebration of Black culture in Los Angeles that brings people together from all walks of life.

Richard Roundtree will always be remembered for his groundbreaking role in “Shaft” and his contribution to Black cinema. His legacy as a trailblazer for Black actors will live on, and his coolness and talent will be

State Senator Steven Bradford’s Report at the City Council Meeting On New State Legislation Will Create Positive Changes In The Community By DPM
State Senator Steve Bradford presented his annual report of the 2023 legislation he’s sponsored at the City Council meeting Tuesday. Many of the bills he presented have been approved and hit home on public safety, college athletics, and minorityowned businesses in the cannabis industry, just to name a few. For years, people have received the public alarm known as the AMBER Alert to let everyone know a child has been abducted has been abducted or gone missing. But this one is for young Black people ages 12 to 25. Gov. Gavin Newson recently signed state Senate Bill 673, the Ebony Alert will establish an emergency notification system for missing Black people ages 12 to 25. This addresses the pervasive issue of missing African American women and children by creating and emergency notification for a group who has historically been either misrepresented or forgotten when it comes to bringing them back to safety, said Bradford. Many college athletes who put their bodies on the line in each game generate revenue for universities Senate Bill 206 also known as “The Fair Pay to Pay Act” was passed about three years ago, allowing collegiate athletes to acquire endorsements and sponsorships while still maintaining athletic eligibility. However, the measure didn’t provide guidance on creating a sense of financial awareness. Bradford’s newly approve Senate Bill 661 would require universities to provide financial literacy training and scholarship protection to all universities in California. Whether you’re a star athlete or just a fan, it’s a good idea to have a solid financial plan in place. “We’ve seen a huge success of contracts signed by these athletes,” said Bradford. “But what we’ve also seen is just like with professional adults who make millions of dollars during their playing career and end up broke
because they had no financial literacy or financial training, we want to make sure that these college athletes have the financial literacy to know how to invest their what they are earning and not buy all of the fancy things like cars and Rolexes and if anything buy property, buy stocks and create wealth,” adding that this would be available at division one and two schools, not three. Six years after approving Prop 64 passed in 2016 to set up the guidelines to acquire a license for cannabis retailers, 85% of the operators are White males. Bradford’s new Senate Bill 51 extends Cannabis Provisional Licenses. The provisional license program was set up to let businesses begin operating while
they make progress toward their full annual license. “SB 51 would authorize the Department of Cannabis Control to issue a provisional license for a local equity applicant for retailer activities for up to five years while they work to obtain their annual license,” said
Bradford. Social equity applicants include persons who are women, minorities, veterans, and people who were disproportionately impacted by the war on drugs, specifically as it relates to cannabis prohibition.

minutes the lobby of the location was filled with the wellwishers that I told you about. Madam Dionne Faulk, District 4 Inglewood City Councilwoman, broke through the crowd and welcomed myself and my photographer. I later learned that she is a member of my sister’s beloved AKA Sorority. As the senior representative of the city, she excused herself and was soon
whisked away. I had previously spoken to Mr. Gregory Johnson, the VicePresident of the Morningside High School Alumni Association, and he brought the gathering together, convening the business at hand. In short order, he introduced some of the group VIPs and offered an overview of the history of the man of the hour, Mr. George Davlantis, owner and co-founder of the
BrollyHut. Mr. Davlantis and his brother, the late Jim Davlantis, opened The Brolly Hut in inglewood in 1970, in its present location, at the northwest corner of Crensahw and 111th, just north of Imperial. The building is impossible to miss, dring by you will notice the distinctive 40 foot, iconic figurine of a Brolly, perched high above the landmark pole, in
the front of the building. Brolly is an old english slang for the word umbrella, that dates back to the late 1890’s, and is depicted in the carving that brands its namesake long serving restaurant. Among the reasons tha Mr. Davlantis is deserving of the honor and the beautifully crafted plaque is his dedication to the surrounding neighborhood, families and customers that have supported the
business for 53 years. He provided jobs for youngsters as they came of age, looking for part time work. Most of the attendees to this presentation ceremony were jocks and their sports loving Morningside
classmates. They spent the minutes preceding the presentation reminiscing about their time spent piling into “The Brolly” after games, and any excuse after a school related event. They bantered graciously about how the staff treated them with respect even when they became loud and rowdy, as kids often did and probably still do. After the amazing ceremony, this gathering of old friends culminated in a round of gracious selfietaking with George, for future memories. I treated my daughter/ photographer to a Brolly Hut Burger and Fries, and next week I apparently have to take her twin sister over there to sample what she came home raving about. Congratulations for your honor, Mr. Davlantis, your family and your staff. Thank you for your service.

‘We’ve Got the Guys’: Justin Herbert Looks to Get Chargers Offense in High Gear
By Eric Smith & Omar Navarro
Bolts offense looking for consistency As the Chargers enter Week 8, their offense ranks fifth overall in the league in Expected Points Added (EPA) per play at 0.067. Looking at more traditional stats, the Bolts are eighth in yards per game (364.2) and are tied for 11th at 24.0 points per game. But despite the seemingly strong numbers, Justin Herbert and his teammates know the unit can find another gear. “We’ve got to get this thing going and we know we’ve got the guys to get it done,” Herbert said Wednesday. The Chargers have scored 48 total points in the first halves of their past three games, but just 10 combined points after halftime. Herbert said the offense’s main focus right now is playing consistent for 60 minutes to try and mesh with a Bolts defense that is also looking for a full-
game performance. “There were some good things but there are things we can definitely improve in,” Herbert said. “It’s tough because we haven’t been our best. We
hasn’t played great when the defense is playing great,” Herbert added. “It’s on us to be more consistent. It’s a tough situation but we’ve got the guys and are continuing to work. We just have to find a way to make it work.” Herbert said Wednesday that it’s on everyone, including himself, to step up. That group includes center Will Clapp, who is starting in place of Corey Linsley, and rookie wide receiver Quentin Johnston, who has taken on a bigger role with Mike Williams out for the year. “It’s definitely tough losing two guys like that,” Herbert said of Linsley and Williams. have to be realistic and be real about it, “They’re about as good as it but I know we’ve got the ability to play gets.

have had a lot of success, so anytime you lose a guy like Mike or Corey it’s going to be tough. “We’re thankful for the guys that have stepped up and we’re thankful for the guys we have behind them,” Herbert added. “We’ve got complete faith and confidence in those guys, especially Will and Q, so it’s been good to see those guys step up.” The Chargers next challenge is a Chicago defense that has allowed 235 yards or less in the past two games while also forcing four total takeaways. “They’ve been able to force some turnovers,” Herbert said of the Bears. “They’ve done a really good job of getting after the passer and have some athletic guys on that side of the ball. “Really well-coached so we’ve been watching a lot of film to get ready for it,” Herbert added. As for Herbert’s finger injury on his non-throwing hand, the quarterback said Wednesday that the issue continues to progress. “Every day it’s getting better,” Herbert said. “We’re coming up on four weeks so just doing what I can to limit the pain and make sure I’m out there being safe.” Herbert also shared a nugget from Sunday’s game that gave a glimpse into what he’s been battling. The quarterback said that he was wearing a triple XL glove but had the left middle finger of that glove removed and replaced with a quadruple XL piece so that a cast would fit inside of it. But the glove and the cast were both ripped off when he went to make a routine handoff against the Chiefs. Herbert got it fixed up after a drive and didn’t miss a play, but showed some humor in describing the moment. “The glove part came off, not my middle finger,” Herbert cracked with a smile. The Chargers and Bears kick off at 5:20 p.m. (PT) from SoFi Stadium on Sunday Night Football. Justin Herbert on Broken Finger Progression and Week 8 Prepping for Bagent When looking at the Bears offense, the Chargers are preparing for a different offense than one they were expecting when the schedule was announced. With regular starting quarterback Justin Fields working his way back with a thumb injury, it’s rookie quarterback Tyson Bagent who is in line to take the snaps under center on Sunday Night Football. Bagent, a rookie undrafted free agent from Division II Shepherd University in West Virginia, worked his way up the Bears depth chart with his preseason performance, ultimately grabbing the backup spot. And with Fields leaving the game two weeks ago, Bagent has taken the reins in his absence, leading Chicago to a Week 7 home win. “I saw a winning performance,” Staley said about Bagent’s start in Week 7. “I thought he played really well, I thought operated the offense, did exactly what Luke [Getsy] was asking him to do. I thought he played with a lot of confidence, you could see as the game went on he played with more and more confidence and made more and more plays.
“They operated their offense, they did not keep anything simple for him, I feel like they ran the offense that they believe in and again, it was winning performance,” Staley added. The Harlon Hill Trophy winner in 2021 (given to the DII MVP), Bagent had a successful career at Shepherd, racking up many accolades throughout his time there. And in the preseason, Bagent played 70 total snaps for the Bears, finishing 20 of 29 for 165 yards and two rushing touchdowns. Staley and the Chargers are well-aware of Bagent, and know that the Division II label does not account for the talent he’s shown he has. “I think at the quarterback position, the position itself, tough to make it in the NFL. There’s that old saying, ‘If you’re good enough, the NFL will find you’. This guy is one of the most decorated college players regardless of the level, he was a record-setting quarterback and accomplished a lot as a quarterback.” “I thought he came in the Minnesota game and played a quality game too and gave their team a chance to win in that game,” Staley later added. “And then in the preseason, certainly he had to beat a lot of people out to become the second quarterback for Chicago. He has our full respect.” Bagent’s first career start was not high-flying, but it was efficient. He completed 21 of 29 passes for 162 yards and a touchdown. While there is a limited body of work for the team to prepare with, Bagent having one start does give the Bolts a good idea of what to expect from the rookie quarterback. “I think just think you have a little bit more inventory, a bigger body of work on the player,” Staley said. “To see him have a full start against a quality team, a team that we know, gives you a sense of the menu they’re willing to give him. “Then, I think you get a really good sense of his overall ability, his athleticism, pocket presence, arm strength, all that good stuff,” Staley added. “Again, a big win for them at home versus the Raiders and the Raiders were coming off that big win, so it was a team that was playing well. For them to play like that, it was a winning performance for him.” Linebacker Kenneth Murray, Jr., added: “It’s the same approach. Obviously, we’ve seen him play last week, we just try to go out there and prepare the best we can and fly around. I think at the end of the day, watching film is great but it comes down to fundamentals, locking in on your keys and going out there and playing sound football. I think as long as we continue to harp on that and focus in on that, we’ll be good.” Head Coach Brandon Staley Looking Ahead at Week 8 Fresh start to the week The term ‘reset’ has been used early in this week as the Bolts look to rebound from a 2-4 start — and it began Wednesday on the practice field as the team began their new week. And the team attacked it hard, having a energetic, yet focused, practice to start the game week. “We’re six games into it and we’ve got 11 left for sure,” Staley said. “That’s what we need to focus on, it’s what’s in front of us, not what’s behind us.
PUBLIC NOTICE ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE FOR CHANGE OF NAME Case # 23TRCP00383 ALL INTERESTED PERSONS Petitioner: Lauren Susan Outland, 507 Daniel Freeman Cir, Inglewood, CA 90301, has filed a petition with the Superior Court Of California, County Of Los Angeles, Inglewood Courthouse, 1 E. Regent St., Inglewood, CA 90301, to change her name. FROM: Lauren Susan Outland – TO: Lauren Outland Witten THE COURT ORDERS that all persons interested in this matter appear before this court at the hearing on, December 8, 2023, 9:30 AM, Dept. 8, Room 504, to show cause, if any, why the petition for change of name should not be granted. Any person objecting to the name change described above must file a written objection that includes the reasons for the objection at least two court days before the matter is scheduled to be heard and must appear at the hearing to show cause why the petition should not be granted. If no written objection is timely filed, the court may grant the petition without a hearing. Publication Dates: October 19, 26; November 2, 9, 2023. “I thought we had a good practice today,” Staley added. “It was fresh, it was focused, guys had the right mindset.” The NFL season will always have its ups and downs, but it’s about how the team adjusts to these stretches. Getting off to a good start on the practice field was crucial step in trying to improve according to Staley, as he was pleased with the way the team took the field Wednesday. “The NFL is about making adjustments,” Staley said. “There’s going to be a stretch like this at some point in your season, what I’ve learned is every time you start an NFL season or head towards one, there’s going to be a point where you need to make adjustments. “We’re at a point right now where we have to perform better, but it really starts in practice,” Staley added. “I like what I saw out there today.” Focusing on the present is something heard a lot but as Murray echoed, it’s the only way to make sure the team can get the details right that can help turn it around. “I feel like that’s exactly how you have to be. Just try to take everything one thing at a time, one evolution at a time,” Murray said. “When you start to do that and really focus in on the little details of everything, that’s when you start to have success and stuff like that. “That’s our mentality and we’ve got to stick to it,” Murray added. “No matter what, just taking it one day at a time, one practice at a time and on Sunday the mission is to get a W and getting that done.”

THANK YOU
REPS. MAXINE WATERS & SYDNEY KAMLAGER-DOVE
FOR BEING HEROES FOR HEALTHY KIDS AND COMMUNITIES. For decades, the tobacco industry has targeted Black communities and kids with menthol cigarettes, profiting while cigarettes kill 45,000 Black Americans each year. Menthols are more addictive and easier for kids to start smoking. Your support to eliminate menthol cigarettes will protect kids, advance health equity and save lives.
