Historical marker unveiled to honor ‘Richmond 34’ A state historical marker commemorating a 1960 sit-in by 34 Virginia Union University students was recently unveiled. People gathered at the site of the sit-in at the old Thalhimers department store on East Broad Street, which is

sit-ins in Greensboro, NC. “Today is a monumental day,” said Elizabeth Johnson Rice, one of 11 women and 23 men who refused to leave the segregated lunch counter at the store and were subsequently arrested on Feb. 22, 1960.

The marker was approved by the Virginia Department of Historic Resources (DHR), which manages the program. It was paid for by a federal grant awarded to DHR and is one of 2,500 around the state.

Originally, 200 students protested that day, but only 34 were arrested, tried and convicted for trespassing.

Jack Berry on making Richmond a high performance city Hi name may ring a bell for many. For the past 10 years, Jack Berry was the executive director at Venture Richmond where he produced major festivals for the city. The most noted festival within the black community under his tutelage takes place in Jackson Ward each year and is known to thousands as the 2nd Street Festival.

Others may recognize his name from his time with Hanover County where he served as the county administrator for six years, or even before that when he was the former deputy city manager and chief of staff for the city of Richmond.

Berry’s plan is to refresh the memories of Richmond residents with a run to serve as the city’s next mayor.

Berry, 62, shared in a recent interview with The LEGACY that after looking at the field of mayoral candidates he concluded that he would have the best chance of achieving accomplishments for the city. After what he describes as a “wonderful career” in local government and at Venture Richmond, he would “go all in” with his mayoral bid.

“I would be a full-time mayor,” he said outside of his office headquarters. “I’m not a politician.

I’m not looking for the next political advancement. I’m all about making a difference in our city.”

Berry maintains that he is not trying to build a career in politics or strive to make everybody happy.

His sole purpose as mayor is simple: to better the city, make the tough decisions that need to be made and get the city of Richmond on the right path.

“The [Richmond] community is on a roll,” he points out. “The population is growing at a faster rate than in any of the three surrounding counties. There is more investment in Richmond than is the case in the counties. The city is on a roll, but our city government

is not keeping up. It’s as if we are making progress in spite of the city.”

That lack of progression is what Berry says he will work towards changing as mayor. Berry plans to create a city government that provides basic services well. He says there is no reason Richmond shouldn’t be a high performing city that successfully provides essential services to all of its residents and unite the community around the priority of schools and neighborhood improvements.

Berry doesn’t minimize the strides the city has made towards becoming a high-powered city government, but says even with certain successes the city still faces many challenges that could deter people from the city.

“Richmond can be the next big thing. Richmond has everything people want and is attractive to younger professionals. The problem is city government isn’t providing the basic services to make that happen.

“We can’t get a financial statement out on time…can’t cut the grass… can’t fix the potholes.

Those are basic services that people expect in a great city. You have to start with that and then move on to the big things like schools,” he said.

After building credibility in doing the little things, Berry says, it’s then possible to unite the community and gear it towards working together on major issues like schools.

He admits, like his opponents, that the city is not delivering a good product where education is concerned and says everyone needs to be on one accord for that to change.

“Right now all we seem to do is fight about our schools,” he said pointing out that city council fights with the school board and the school board fights with the mayor.

“We need to unify everybody in order to build a strong school

system. That starts with a credible city government that people trust.”

In a moment of blunt honesty, Berry not only mentions the dysfunction in the city’s government but also how some city leaders got their positions.

“Some of the leaders are there because of not what they know, but because of who they know. We have to get rid of the cronyism in City Hall,” he said. “We have to make sure that people in leading roles are there based on ability and not connections. It’s about building trust that you are making decisions based on the right reasons not because of what church you go to.”

Although he realizes that it’s very unlikely the city will return to appointing its school board, Berry feels that an appointed school board over an elected one would be more beneficial and move the city towards a successfully sound school system. He further states that city council and school board representatives are often not on the same page because one is usually threatened by the other and that sense of intimidation prevents teamwork.

“Usually, city council members

are threatened that school board reps will eventually go after their seat. The city has paid a price for electing its school board and created a lot of unnecessary political in-fighting.

“In retrospect I wish we had appointed school board members because that would mean the city council member and school board member were operating as a team and not as potential rivals,” said Berry.

Once leadership is aligned success will follow and it’ll take a strong mayor to make that happen. A strong mayor, in Berry’s opinion, would lead the effort in changing the direction of Richmond and bring the city together. With his wife, Katherine, of 39 years by his side he plans to be that type of mayor.

In addition to serving the people of Richmond, he plans to squeeze in some time with his two grandchildren his son John blessed him with and honor the memory of his son Brooks who died 10 years ago.

“Success breeds more success and pretty soon the entire community would want to be part of that success,” said Berry.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF AN APPLICATION BY VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY D/B/A DOMINION VIRGINIA POWER FOR REVISION OF RATE ADJUSTMENT CLAUSE: RIDER W, WARREN COUNTY POWER STATION CASE NO. PUE-2016-00063 On June 1, 2016, Virginia Electric and Power Company d/b/a Dominion Virginia Power (“Dominion Virginia Power” or “Company”), pursuant to § 56-585.1 A 6 of the Code of Virginia (“Code”), filed with the State Corporation Commission (“Commission”) an annual update with respect to the Company’s rate adjustment clause, Rider W (“Application”). Through its Application, the Company seeks to recover costs associated with the Warren County Power Station, a 1,342 megawatt nominal natural gas-fired combined-cycle electric generating plant and associated transmission interconnection facilities located in Warren County, Virginia (“Warren County Project” or “Project”).

In Case No. PUE-2011-00042, the Commission approved the development of the Warren County Project. In conjunction with its approval of the Project, the Commission also approved a rate adjustment clause, designated Rider W, which allowed Dominion Virginia Power to recover costs associated with the development of the Project, including projected construction work in progress and any associated allowance for funds used during construction. According to Dominion Virginia Power, the Warren County Project commenced commercial operation on December 10, 2014.

In this proceeding, Dominion Virginia Power has asked the Commission to approve Rider W for the rate year beginning April 1, 2017, and ending March 31, 2018 (“2017 Rate Year”). The two key components of the proposed total revenue requirement for the 2017 Rate Year are the Projected Cost Recovery Factor and the Actual Cost True-Up Factor. The Company is requesting a Projected Cost Recovery Factor revenue requirement of $119,744,000 and an Actual Cost True-Up Factor revenue requirement of $6,719,000. Thus, the Company is requesting a total revenue requirement of $126,463,000 for service rendered during the 2017 Rate Year.

Dominion Virginia Power utilized a rate of return on common equity (“ROE”) of 11.5% for purposes of calculating the Projected Cost Recovery Factor in this case. This ROE comprises a general ROE of 10.5%, plus a 100 basis point enhanced return applicable to a combined cycle generating station as described in § 56-585.1 A 6 of the Code. For purposes of calculating the Actual Cost True-Up Factor, including an accompanying correction to the 2014 calendar year Actual Cost True-up Factor, the Company utilized an ROE of 11%, which comprises the general ROE of 10% approved by the Commission in its Final Order in Case No. PUE-2013-00020, plus the 100 basis point enhanced return.

If the proposed Rider W for the 2017 Rate Year is approved, the impact on customer bills would depend on the customer’s rate schedule and usage. According to Dominion Virginia Power, implementation of its proposed Rider W on April 1, 2017, would increase the monthly bill of a residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt hours per month by approximately $0.40.

The Company has calculated the proposed Rider W rates in accordance with the same methodology as used for rates approved by the Commission in the most recent Rider W proceeding, Case No. PUE-2015-00061.

Interested persons are encouraged to review the Application and supporting documents for the details of these and other proposals.

TAKE NOTICE that the Commission may apportion revenues among customer classes and/or design rates in a manner differing from that shown in the Application and supporting documents and thus may adopt rates that differ from those appearing in the Company’s Application and supporting documents.

The Commission entered an Order for Notice and Hearing that, among other things, bifurcated ROE issues from the remainder of the case and scheduled a public hearing on November 8, 2016, at 10 a.m., in the Commission’s second floor courtroom located in the Tyler Building, 1300 East Main Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219, to receive testimony from members of the public on the Company’s Application. At this public hearing evidence related to non-ROE aspects of the Application will also be received from the Company, any respondents, and the Commission’s Staff. Any person desiring to testify as a public witness at this hearing should appear in the Commission’s courtroom fifteen (15) minutes prior to the starting time of the hearing and contact the Commission’s Bailiff.

A public hearing on ROE issues in this case and in Case Nos. PUE-2016-00059, PUE-2016-00060, PUE-2016-00061, and PUE-2016-00062 shall be convened by the Commission on January 18, 2017, at 10 a.m., in the Commission’s second floor courtroom located in the Tyler Building, 1300 East Main Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219.

Copies also may be obtained by submitting a written request to counsel for the Company, Lisa S. Booth, Esquire, Dominion Resources Services, Inc., 120 Tredegar Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219.

Copies of the public version of the Application and other documents filed in this case also are available for interested persons to review in the Commission’s Document Control Center located on the first floor of the Tyler Building, 1300 East Main Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219, between the hours of 8:15 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. Interested persons also may download unofficial copies from the Commission’s website: http://www.scc.virginia.gov/case.

On or before November 1, 2016, any interested person wishing to comment on the Company’s Application shall file written comments on the Application with Joel H. Peck, Clerk, State Corporation Commission, c/o Document Control Center, P.O. Box 2118, Richmond, Virginia 23218-2118.

Same-gender marriage on the rise year-overyear in VA

Numbers from the Virginia Department of Health show same-sex marriage makes up a larger percentage of marriages in Richmond and Virginia in general every year.

The numbers, released by VDH’s Division of Health Statistics, show the total number of marriage licenses given in the commonwealth broken down into counties/cities, and then those numbers are split further into the number of same-sex marriage licenses.

The numbers start when same-sex marriage was legalized in October, 2014 by the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. As you’d expect, there was a number of marriage immediately following that ruling, with a little under 1,600 – about 2.7 precent of total new marriages in the state – happening in the remaining two and a half months for the year. Richmond’s gay marriage count hit 119 in that same time period.

That 1,600 number was equal to about half the total marriage licenses issued the following year when 3,025 same-sex couples tied the knot. That made up 5.1 percent of total new Virginia marriages in 2015, an increase of 2.4 percent over the year before. In Richmond we saw 160 gay marriage licenses issues against a total of 1,882, 8.5 percent of total marriages in RVA, an increase of 1.9 percent.

Numbers for 2016 only go as far as March of this year, but in those three months Virginia issued 385 marriage licenses to same-sex couples, about 4.1 percent of the total. Here in Richmond, 25 gay marriage licenses were issued against a total of 265 – a whopping 9.4 percent of the total so far.

What this data shows is same-sex marriages continue to make up a larger portion of total marriage licenses issued in Richmond. The numbers are not broken up by month, but if there is a surge of weddings this summer, or after March 2016, those numbers might jump and put the total percentage higher across the state again.

VA suicide hotline workers ripped for failures WIRE More than a third of troubled veterans are not getting through to the best trained suicide-hotline staffers because of poor work habits at the Department of Veteran's Affairs' call center, according to VA emails obtained by USA TODAY. Some workers handle only one to five calls each day and leave before their shifts end even though phone lines have gotten busier, according to the emails. As a result, 35 - 50 percent of the calls roll over to backup centers where workers have less training to deal with the emotional problems of former servicemembers.

“There are staff who spend very little time on the phone or engaged in assigned productive activity,” then-crisis line director Greg Hughes complained in a May 13 email to the hotline staff. Hughes left the position June 17. “If we continue to roll over calls because we have staff that are not making an honest effort, then we are failing at our mission.” His email suggested that as many as half the workforce was underperforming.

The VA, which confirmed the authenticity of the emails, has been swamped with calls since opening in 2007. The volume increased from fewer than 10,000 in 2007 to more than 500,000 last year, according to a recent Government Accountability Office report.

A 2010 calculation by the VA estimates that 22 veterans kill themselves each day. The VA, which has not updated that estimate, says the hotline “rescues” 30 veterans from suicide each day.

Thirteen days after Hughes’ May 13 email message, he drafted a second email saying that the rollover rate had improved slightly to 35 - 40 percent of calls rolled over to the backup center, down from 45 - 50 percent when he sent his first message. Still, “We staff to a certain level and then we do not have that coverage because we have staff who routinely request to leave early,” Hughes wrote in the May 25 email.

Sloan Gibson, deputy director of the VA, who has set a goal of zero calls

Michael Rolack lost his 28-year-old grandson, Nicholas Rolack, to suicide. going to back-up centers by Sept. 30, said he is unhappy about the staff problems.

“The first reaction is that it pisses me off,” Gibson said. “The second reaction is that we got good leadership in place and we’re moving to effect dramatic change.”

The VA’s efforts to provide suicide hotline counseling have taken a battering this year. Last year, the work of the hotline staff was movingly portrayed in an HBO film, Crisis Hotline: Veterans Press 1, which received an Oscar for best documentary, short subject. But in February, an inspector general investigation revealed that some of the in-coming calls early last year had rolled over to back-up centers and gone to voicemail.

The VA said it has fixed that problem. But the inspector general also complained about a lack of training and proper accreditation for the back-up centers. A report by the Office of Special Counsel in April said the training and accreditation problems with back-up centers had not been corrected.

“Part of the reason that we want to go toward where we eliminate the backup centers is because we feel we can do a better job,” Hughes said in an interview.

The back-up calls centers are part

of a network of 164 private, nonprofit phone-banks that also provide services to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline or national suicide hotline.

Hughes’ efforts to improve the phone-bank were praised by the GAO. “It seemed like the director was on track to make needed improvements,” said GAO senior investigator Randall Williamson.

In an interview, Hughes said he left the job for family reasons. Matthew

Eitutis, director of VA Member Services, which oversees the hotline, said an acting director is in place and efforts are underway to hire a permanent replacement.

Asked how many staffers underperformed, he initially said he didn’t know the specific number, but later said about 5 percent.

Hughes said that under a labor agreement, problem employees handling phone calls can be disciplined under a process that begins with raising concerns, as he did in his emails. Gibson, the VA deputy director, said the hotline jobs, where operators sometimes spend feverish minutes trying to dissuade a veteran from taking his or her life, are among the most stressful occupations in the department.

Eitutis said the hotline office is expanding and taking steps to improve services, such as recording phone calls to improve quality of care. Eitutis said the call center will have a record 236 responders answering phones within the next few weeks.

Gibson said changes for the VA hotline are long overdue. “I step back from this and I look at it and I see a function, an activity, that has been chronically under-managed for years,” he said.

The toll-free hotline number is 800273-8255. -USAToday

Regulations change for right of way work Changes to the fee schedule and the requirements for work within the right of way in Newport News became effective July 1.

The changes affect new permits going forward, and existing permits will still be under the terms in place when they were issued. In general, the requirements for pavement restoration due to cutting of the pavement, such as to install utilities, etc., were clarified.

The requirements for restoration have been added as a special provision to the Hampton Roads Regional Construction Standards 5th Edition where the pavement restoration is defined in Section 317.

Fees were updated to reflect consistency with regional localities and actual costs of inspection.

Airbnb racism allegations head to Capitol Hill MICHEAL COTTMAN The furor over racial discrimination at Airbnb, Inc. has been elevated to Capitol Hill.

It’s welcome news –and right on time.

Congressional Black Caucus Chairman G. K. Butterfield (D- NC), and Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.) reached out to Brian Chesky, the CEO of Airbnb, in an effort to strongarm Chesky into ordering a thorough investigation of the racial allegations at his company.

“Members of the CBC are deeply concerned about recent reports of exclusion of African-Americans on the Airbnb platform, and we sincerely hope the leadership of Airbnb will take the issue of discrimination seriously and implement common sense measures to prevent such discrimination and ill-treatment of its customers in the future,” Butterfield and Cleaver said in a joint statement.

Butterfield and Cleaver said Airbnb could be in violation of Title II of the 1964 Civil Rights Act which prohibits discrimination in places of public accommodation, including hotels and motels, “because of race, color, religion or national origin.”

“Several African-American The LEGACY NEWSPAPER Vol. 2 No. 32 Mailing Address 409 E. Main Street 4 Office Address 105 1/2 E. Clay St. Richmond, VA 23219 Call 804-644-1550 Online www.legacynewspaper.com

consumers have been subjected to discrimination on the Airbnb Internet platform. Racism and any form of discrimination should never be tolerated in our society,” Butterfield and Cleaver said in a release.

In addition, according to media reports, Airbnb executives were scheduled to meet with civil rights leaders in Washington, D.C., last week to discuss the racial discrimination controversy.

According to USA Today, some of the participants will include Laura Murphy, Director of the Washington, D.C. office of the American Civil Liberties Union, Marc Morial, CEO The LEGACY welcomes all signed letters and all respectful opinions.

of the National Urban League, and Wade Henderson, president and CEO of The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights. Murphy, according to USA Today, will lead the review of Airbnb.

Racial discrimination is rampant during online bookings, according to a Harvard study, especially if Airbnb hosts realize that the folks requesting a stay are black.

The Harvard Business School study also revealed that guests with African-American sounding names were 16 percent more likely to be rejected by Airbnb hosts than guests with stereotypically white-sounding names.

“Perhaps, we, as a nation have not moved, as much as we like to brag that we have, regarding

discrimination and homeowners just do not want people of a different race in their homes,” said Cleaver.

“If that is the case, you should not be permitted to utilize an interstate commerce platform such as Airbnb.”

Chesky told 800 Airbnb employees last week that he plans to spend several months working to eradicate racism at Airbnb.

“We have zero tolerance for any racism or intolerance on our platform and will take swift action if we hear of it,” Chesky said. “I myself have personally engaged with a number of people who have been discriminated against on our platform.”

I’ll wait for the conclusion of Murphy’s review and I may consider lodging through Airbnb in the future.

But not now.

P.T. Hoffsteader, Esq.

Heard around the world

It was trending on social media for days.

My mom sent me several links on Facebook.

It was all over the news on TV, on radio and online.

People were asking me about it wherever I went.

What am I talking about?

“This award – this is not for me.

This is for the real organizers all over the country – the activists, the civil rights attorneys, the struggling parents, the families, the teachers, the students that are realizing that a system built to divide and impoverish and destroy us cannot stand if we do. (applause) alright.”

There are acceptance speeches and then there are acceptance speeches.

I think it’s fair to say that this one by Jesse Williams at the BET Awards was off the charts.

Williams spoke of the struggle of black women who are sometimes let down by black men, telling them that, “We can and will do better for you.”

A few women in the audience stood up.But this is when the entire room got up.

“Now, what we’ve been doing is looking at the data and we know that police somehow manage to deescalate, disarm and not kill white people every day. So what’s going to happen is we are going to have equal rights and justice in our own country or we will restructure their function and ours (applause).”

He referenced young and older

people of color killed by police like Tamir Rice and Eric Garner.

I’m sure most of those reading this have heard the entire speech, and you have your favorite lines from the speech.

But the one that stood out to me is this one, the one I hope didn’t go over anyone’s head.

“Now the thing is, though, all of us in here getting money – that alone isn’t gonna stop this. Alright, now dedicating our lives, dedicating our lives to getting money just to give it right back for someone’s brand on our body when we spent centuries praying with brands on our bodies, and now we pray to get paid for brands on our bodies.”

There was a whole let packed into those sentences – the power we place on labels, wearing somebody else’s names on our backs, or on the other end of the spectrum being in a position to get paid for wearing someone else’s brand on our backs.

It’s also like wearing someone else’s hair on our heads- weaves- which Whoopi Goldberg pointed out in response to William’s reference to cultural appropriation.

Whoopi – “When you see all these wonderful black women with these blond hair that is a weave.”

Sunny – “But that is because black women have been taught all these years that that is the standard of beauty.”

Whoopi – “No, we’re trying to get to the place where everyone can say I’m as good as you.

That’s what everybody’s doing.

So if we’re appropriating they’re

appropriating. Everybody, Japanese are appropriating, black folks are appropriating, Spanish people are appropriating, we are appropriating each other. It’s not just a black thing. It’s happening all over the place. We do it all the time. We go get Botox we don’t need. Come on.”

Tough, but true.

What is also true is what Jesse Williams said about if you have a critique for the resistance, then you’d better have an established record of critique of our oppression.

And he is also right about our magic – black magic.

Who could deny that there is something magical about surviving centuries of slavery and oppression and yet we still rise?

Don Lemon

What to do this summer

There is a three year gap between black and white students.

Many people love to believe it’s due to income, fatherlessness, educational attainment of the parent and lack of parental involvement. I believe a major reason for the gap is we continue to close schools for the summer as if we are an agrarian economy.

Very few black youth will be farming this summer. If you multiply three months by 12 years you will see the three-year gap. There is nothing wrong with black youth if their schools remained open during the summer and/or their parents kept them academically engaged.

Middle-income parents who value

education enroll their children in some type of academic experience during the summer. They also visit libraries, museums, zoos and colleges.

Other parents allow their children to sleep longer, play more video games, watch more television and play basketball until they can’t see the hoop. These students will have to review the same work they had mastered in May in September.

Black parents cannot allow their child to lose three months every year.

Black parents cannot say they cannot afford the library. It’s free!

Most museums have discounted days. A male friend of mine shared his experience with me when he took his family to the museum. He wondered why so many people were staring at him. His wife and children had to tell him he was the only black man in the building! I am appealing to every father to take his children this summer to the library, museum, and the zoo. I am appealing to every mother... if he won’t, you will.

We need every parent to make sure their child reads at least one book per week and to write a book report.

I have a theory that I can go into your house and within five minutes tell you the type of student who lives there and predict their future.

I believe that engineers, doctors, lawyers, accountants etc. need different items in their house than ballplayers, rappers, and criminals.

I am very concerned when I visit a house that has more CDs and downloads than books.

Advocate: Baptist churches should emulate Black Lives Matter movement BLAKE TOMMEY A Black Lives Matter advocate fired a shot across the bow of Baptist churches, challenging them and other Christians to embrace Christ’s calling to care for society’s most oppressed.

“The story of the church in recent years is that that we have failed to be the Black Lives Matter movement,” said Michelle Higgins, director of worship and outreach at South City Church in St. Louis. “So we must bear the reproach of confessing to people on the margins that we care more about building new buildings, moving out of dangerous neighborhoods, creating state-of-the-art children’s centers — that the people of God have abandoned God’s covenant. …”

Higgins made her comments last week at the International Civil Rights Center and Museum in Greensboro, N.C. Her presentation was hosted by the New Baptist Covenant and Cooperative Baptist Advocacy, and coincided with Cooperative Baptist Fellowship’s General Assembly.

More than 100 attended the event, which was held at the F.W. Woolworth lunch counter — site of historic civil rights era sit-ins and now the centerpiece of the museum’s display.

On some of the same ground that young Christians resisted racial oppression during the 1960s, Higgins called attention to the stark disparity between the 21st century church and the Black Lives Matter movement. The two should be one and the same, Higgins said.

“Take your faith and exercise it for the cause of justice,” she told Fellowship Baptists.

“Your whole story is full of people who don’t look like you, but because God’s imprint is on each of them, their history has a deep impact on yours. Can you show the joy of the Lord as a resistance to the mass oppression of people on the margins?”

NBC Executive Director Hannah McMahan and CBF Advocacy Coordinator Stephen Reeves both expressed the crucial task of engaging Baptist churches in the journey toward justice and reconciliation.

Reeves said his hope for CBF churches is that they “be more welcoming of all community members and engaged in what is going on around them.”

McMahan said that perhaps now more than ever before is the time for the church to live out the NBC’s central calling — to combat and heal the racial divides and injustices that persist among Baptist communities in the United States.

“The sin of racism is an ever-changing and adapting ill,” McMahan said.

“To overcome our division, it is important to understand not only our current context but also what history precedes us.”

The civil rights event also included a preview of the new documentary “The Ordinance” by Deidox, an Austin-based nonprofit film company focused on the church’s response to predatory lending.

Michelle Higgins Deidox’s new film highlights how people of faith have responded to the crisis of predatory payday and auto-title lending in their communities through direct ministries, mission work and public policy advocacy.

“The Ordinance” examines the cross-racial elements of this issue and follows the process of adopting a local lending ordinance in Temple, Texas.

It features interviews with CBF leaders including Reeves and Steve Wells of Houston’s South Main Baptist Church, as well as NBC leader Freddy Haynes of Friendship-West Baptist Church in Dallas.

The LEGACY

‘Bad Dad Rehab’ puts focus on black fatherhood

Malik Yoba, center, standing, is one of the stars of the TV One drama ‘Bad Dad Rehab.’ PHOTO: Paul Abell for TV One JANNAH JOHNSON TV One broadcast a made for television movie over the weekend entitled “Bad Dad Rehab.”

The film follows four men on their journey to becoming more than just biological fathers to their children, but dads. Written by Keronda McKnight, a writer for shows such as “Everybody Hates Chris” and starring Robert Ri’chard and Malik Yoba the film was the Winner of the 2015 American Black Film Festival Screenplay Competition.

During a recent teleconference with reporters, McKnight said, “I wanted to get into the mind of somebody who’s dealing with dead beat dad issues…I didn’t want to lump everything together and just say all you guys are alike I really wanted to shed some light on it.”

McKnight approach to serious issues is humorous and dramatic.

“I think black men are beaten up enough,” said McKnight.

“I didn’t want to add to that I wanted something that provided a solution…I wanted to make it light in the sense that people could take their medicine with a little bit of sugar.”

The issue of black fatherhood is a perennial concern in the black community and McKnight said that she dealt with the complicated issues realistically. In the movie fatherhood is not always a priority for many of the characters. ”These dudes are real…there are dudes who are just that selfish and self-centered… there’s a reason for that madness.

It seems like a stereotype on the

surface but this is a very real thing a lot of guys are dealing with, not stereotypical, very real.”

The women in the film often serve as scenery lack depth and complex character development. This was a conscious decision by McKnight who said, “We women we go through what we go through and deal with what we deal with and we have our stories and we have plenty of stories to tell but this was a love letter to my brothers. All of the women [in the movie] have strength. I wanted to salute the women but not in a pronounced way.”

“Bad Dad Rehab” was directed

by Carl Seaton who said that his main goal was to remain true to the script. “My main goal was to bring a high level of authenticity, to these characters, to the story so that the audiences saw the film and it would resonate with them and they would have an instant connection. We may not all have children but we all have parents…we’re all affected one way or another based on fatherhood.”

The film was produced by Roger Bobb who many may know from his production work in multiple Tyler Perry films and movies. Bobb said that the film had an impact on many of the audiences at screenings.

“People were crying, walking out because they were so emotionally moved that they couldn’t take it anymore…We knew we had something special, we can’t wait for the world to see it. It’s rare that you have a film where you just know that it’s something special and it’s socially relevant.”

Ask Alma

I can’t get our friendship back to normal

Dear Alma, I have been best friends with the same person for the past 10 years.

We always got along and never got into any major arguments. About 8 months ago we started working in the same office. Once we started working together, we hung out a lot more (carpooling to work, happy hours after work, lunch together during work). But recently (about a month ago) we got into a little argument and it got to the point where we worked together for two days and did not even talk to each other, which is completely out of character for both of us. We usually call, text and hang out every day, even after spending eight hours at work together!

About two days after our argument I decided to be the bigger person and hash everything out. I figured our friendship was way more important than a little argument. Things started to get back to normal but I also noticed that there was a different vibe between us. I had a separate conversation about this with her and she claimed that it was nothing.

After that talk, we hung out and talked for hours but after that day, we haven’t hung out outside of work. And I’d say this day was about two weeks ago. A pattern began where we stopped hanging together outside of work and stopped calling to check on one another. I often felt like I was the only one putting an effort in to acknowledge our friendship and try to hang out and talk. This week is her birthday and we usually get expensive gifts for each other (concert tickets, designer clothes, last minute weekend getaways).

I don’t know if I should get her anything like I normally would or should I just get her a card. What do you think?

E.K., Atlanta

EK, I’m so happy to hear about the wonderful friendship you are able to experience, sustain and maintain for so many years. Your words unfold like it’s more than just a basic friendship and 10 years is a long time. Your email describes a true-blue, sister-girl, BFF. Many of us participate in one of those. My niece, Leah, and her BFF, LaTia, for example. The most famous of all sister-girl friendships of course is Oprah and Gail. I, too, live it with my BFF Dee, we’re ride or die, to the end. It’s been more than 20 years for us.

This type of girlfriend, ride or die relationship will dance through the stages and ages of life.

Surviving the misunderstandings, heartbreaks, marriages, children, loss of a loved one, I could go on, but you get the picture. This is your first crash on the BFF roadway of life.

Don’t let it rattle you, girl, check your seatbelt and keep it moving.

TBT, there are many more to come.

What matters is, you don’t let go.

Hold on to the special bond the two of you share. As for her gift, buy her something fabulous, something she can share. You know how sisters do, LOL. You’re participating is what wise, full of wisdom women call an unconditional sisterhood, a lifelong kinship ~ cherish it. It’s the best kind, she’s your sister not by birth but by choice. ***** Want advice? E-mail questions to alwaysaskalma@yahoo.com.Follow her on Facebook at “Ask Alma” and twitter @almaaskalma *****

‘We’re Muslim, Don’t Panic!’ takes on harmful stereotypes about Muslim women

Iman, Amirah, and Khadijah make up ‘We’re Muslim, Don’t Panic!”.

Amirah Sackett is one of those artists you hope becomes famous because she’s talented and you hate the idea of anyone not knowing who she is. An award-winning hip-hop dancer, choreographer, teacher, and all-around Muslim-American, Sackett uses her hijab and high-tops to change the way non-Muslims in the United States view Islam.

She aims to change the stereotypes about Muslim women through her group’s dance videos. Oppressed, docile, uneducated, ignorant, submissive and subservient are a few epithets that come to mind while addressing the “Muslim Woman.”

However, these negative stereotypes and generalizations are often the endowments of the Western media, she says.

Sackett started WMDP in 2011, and since then the group has popped, locked, and dropped all over Islamophobia while working to correct the dominant narrative about Muslim-American women. “I wanted to flip the script,” she recently said. “I wanted to educate others and reflect the beauty that I know and love in Muslim women.

“Yes, there are oppressed women in the Muslim world. Women are oppressed the world over. These are our mutual struggles.”

In an introductory video posted three years ago, Sackett said she and her two dancers Iman and Khadijah started the group to educate people about hijabs in general.

“Together we have performed all over the Twin Cities educating people about the Muslim style of dress for women known as hijab to increase understanding and tolerance within our city and school systems,” she noted.

The dancers wear long black niqabs and white sneakers. The dancing is used to not only to break stereotypes of oppression but also to empower Muslim women and girls who are discriminated against because of their religion.

With Islam becoming the second largest religion in Europe, they emphasize on the need to stop living by the fear of people’s judgments and instead enjoy being a woman, appreciating any differences between the sexes that may exist while strengthening their positions in the society.

“It is high time that we look beyond the sensationalistic and the alarmist stories of the Muslim world and come to more insightful conclusions regarding the identities of Muslim women and the community as a whole,” noted the group.

Gordon to produce Bounce TV’s 1st primetime news show Production has commenced on “Ed Gordon”, Bounce TV network's first entry into the primetime news magazine format. The show’s premiere date has been scheduled for Tues. Sept. 13 at 10 p.m. EST. Gordon, a multiple award-winning and television journalist, will produce and host the series of onehour specials in which he’ll sit down for revealing interviews with top headline makers, entertainers and pop cultural figures. Gordon will also include investigative pieces, celebrity profiles, current event segments and human interest feature stories, the network noted.

“From President Obama to Louis Farrakhan, from Beyoncé to O.J. Simpson, Ed is a trusted confidante of African-American newsmakers who define our culture. His insightful reporting and courageous storytelling

Ed Gordon

make him the perfect journalist to shepherd our first news magazine show,” said Ri-Karlo Handy, senior vice president of Original Programming for Bounce TV. Gordon said the new programs will be produced in the way he has always wanted.

“We’ll provide perspective and give our audience a more complete picture of the major issues,” he said. “I’ll be able to talk one-on-one with the day’s newsmakers and celebrities and get them to open up.

That’s always a challenge and something the audience has come to expect from me. At the same time, we will also tell a wide variety of stories that are rarely presented on television. I’m extremely excited about our new show and thrilled to be joining Bounce TV.” Gordon has been a contributing

correspondent for “60 Minutes”, “The Today Show” and “Dateline NBC”, the host of “News and Notes with Ed Gordon” on NPR, anchorman for BET and is a weekly contributor to the national “Steve Harvey Radio Show”. He is also the recipient of an NAACP Image Award, as well as the prestigious Journalist of the Year Award from the National Association of Black Journalists.

Bounce TV is billed as the fastestgrowing African-American network on television and airs on the broadcast signals of local television stations and corresponding cable carriage. The network features a programming mix of original and off-network series, theatrical motion pictures, specials, live sports and more. Among the founders of Bounce TV are Martin Luther King, III and Ambassador Andrew Young.

The LEGACY

Challenge to law preventing studies on ‘big data’ bias A group of university professors and journalists have filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia arguing that a federal computer crimes law unconstitutionally criminalizes research aimed at uncovering whether online algorithms result in racial, gender, or other illegal discrimination in areas such as employment and real estate.

The plaintiffs include Christian Sandvig, an associate professor of information and communication studies at the University of Michigan, and Karrie Karahalios, an associate professor of computer science at the University of Illinois.

They are conducting a study to determine whether the computer programs that determine what to display on real estate sites are discriminating against users by race or other factors.

The case, brought by the American Civil Liberties Union, challenges a section of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act that makes it a crime to violate a website’s terms of service. Those terms, which are arbitrarily set by individual sites and can change at any time,

Dr. Christian Sandvig often prohibit things like creating multiple accounts, providing inaccurate account information, or using automated methods to collect publicly available data like search results and ads.

Those same practices, noted the ACLU, are used by researchers to test whether sites are, for example, more likely to show higher interest rate loan ads to people of color or show higher paying jobs to men who search employment listings.

Studies like these necessarily require researchers to create dummy online identities and record what content is served up to those identities.

The results are often the result of algorithms relying on “big data”

Sex Offender Helpline The helpline provides support to communities on issues related to accessing sex offender registration information; responsible use of information; sexual abuse prevention resources; and accessing crime victim support services.

analysis to classify people based on their web browsing habits or other information collected by data brokers — and then steer them towards various products or services.

Equivalent studies to find discrimination offline — for example, where pairs of individuals of different races attempt to secure housing and jobs and compare outcomes — have been encouraged by Congress and the courts for decades in order to ensure that civil rights laws like the Fair Housing Act are not being broken.

Such laws prohibit practices that result in discrimination, regardless of whether it is intentional.

“The work of our clients has a clear social benefit and is protected by the First Amendment,” said Esha Bhandari, staff attorney with the ACLU Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project. “This law perversely grants businesses that operate online the power to shut down investigations of their practices.”

Sandvig said that being able to run socially beneficial studies like theirs is at the heart of academic freedom.

“We shouldn’t have to fear prosecution just because we’re doing our jobs,” he said.

The other academic plaintiffs are Alan Mislove and Christo Wilson, associate and assistant professors of computer science at Northeastern University, respectively. They are conducting a study to test

whether the ranking algorithms on major online hiring websites produce discriminatory results by systematically ranking specific classes of people — such as people of color or women — below others.

“Big data-based targeting opens up vast potential for discrimination against marginalized communities, including people of color, women, and others,” said Rachel Goodman, staff attorney with the ACLU Racial Justice Program. “This law stymies the ongoing fight for civil rights as our day-to-day habits and transactions move steadily online.”

The ACLU also represents First Look Media, which publishes The Intercept. The journalists there wish to investigate websites’ business practices and outcomes, including any discriminatory effects of big data and algorithms. The work of journalists often involves collecting public data from websites and other activities that may violate terms of service. The lawsuit argues that the potential for prosecution under the CFAA has an impermissible chilling effect, violating the freedom of speech and of the press protected by the First Amendment.

In reports from the White House and the Federal Trade Commission, the federal government itself has recognized the potential danger for big data algorithms to reinforce racial, gender, and other disparities.

The lawsuit, is Sandvig v. Lynch.

The LEGACY

New study sheds light on how some survive Ebola A first-of-its-kind Ebola study yields clues to how some people are able to survive the deadly virus and suggests possible avenues for treatments that could save more lives.

Researchers at Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Emory University School of Medicine, and University of Nebraska Medical Center analyzed the immune responses of Ebola patients treated in the United States. Their study was recently published online in the Clinical Infectious Disease Journal in the article entitled, “Kinetic Analysis of Biomarkers in a Cohort of U.S. Patients with Ebola Virus Disease.”

“These findings are encouraging and underscore how crucial it is to continue the fight against Ebola,” said CDC Director Tom Frieden, M.D., M.P.H. “We must come up with new ways to keep people safe and combat diseases that threaten our

Dr. Thomas Frieden health.”

Ebola virus causes a severe and often fatal infection that can include fever, diarrhea and unexplained bleeding. Despite the fact that more than 30,000 individuals have acquired EVD since it was discovered

AUTO CLUB OF AMERICA, BE REWARDED RATHER THAN SLAPPED IN THE FACE.

in 1976, the medical and scientific community still does not have a clear understanding on why Ebola causes such severe illness.

This is the first time researchers have been able to study Ebola virus disease (EVD) using samples taken from patients during both their illness and recovery. In the seven U.S. patients, researchers tracked 54 different markers of immune-system activity from hospital admission until the day of discharge. Among the seven patients, five had moderate EVD and two had severe EVD requiring mechanical ventilation and dialysis.

“We were able to identify the particular components of patients’ immune systems that successfully fought off the virus,” said lead author Anita McElroy, M.D., Ph.D., who is a guest researcher in CDC’s Viral Special Pathogens Branch and an Emory physician and faculty member. “These are the parts of the immune system that we need to tap

into to develop new therapies.”

The results show patients with severe EVD had high levels of virus in their blood and out-ofcontrol immune responses leading to destruction of healthy tissues, multisystem organ failure, shock, and, in most cases, death. In contrast, patients with moderate EVD had strong, healthy immune responses that were able to control the virus. All of the patients with moderate illness and one patient with severe illness survived.

It is unclear why exactly some people’s immune systems respond more effectively to viruses. Possible contributing factors include genetics and whether or not a person has other illnesses or conditions.

Identifying which parts of the immune system malfunction in severe EVD cases as well as the parts that function well in the moderate cases could lead to the design of therapies that might theoretically inhibit the disease’s progression.

The LEGACY

COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES & EVENTS

7.12, 6 p.m.

Join Donnie Walton, also known as D3, a former gang member and now a motivational speaker on gang prevention, for a frank discussion about the lure of gangs and how to prevent gang involvement.

Is Credit Card Debt driving you batty?

Let Consolidated Credit Help You: Lower your monthly payments Reduce or eliminate interest rates

D3 will open his life to the audience, drawing on his personal experiences with gangs, family, and violence to inspire and teach about who joins gangs and why, and how parents can help change the course of the future for their children.

Walton takes honesty to a new level as he describes the events that caused him to change his life as he tells his audience “August 9, 2010 in Los Angeles California, my life came to an abrupt stop. I was maliciously stabbed…..”

Drawing from his own personal experiences as they relate to gangs, family, the absence of his biological mother, being stabbed in the abdomen, hospitalized two years, burying his brother, and various other experiences, D3 allows his life to be an “open book.”

The event will be held at South Morrison Family Education Center, 746 Adams Drive in Newport News and is funded by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Community-Based Violence Prevention grant.

RSVP by July 8 to Shelley Matthews at 757-369-6834 or smatthews@nnva.gov.
