1940 Prize, Howard U. Play Roles in Mystery BY J. FREEDOM DU LAC THE WASHINGTON POST

WASHINGTON (AP) — After winning the 2010 Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, Mo’Nique noted that she was wearing a royal blue dress, along with a gardenia in her hair, because that’s what Hattie McDaniel wore 70 years earlier when she became the first African American to receive an Academy Award. “Ms. Hattie McDaniel, I feel you all over me, and it’s about time that the world feels you all over them,” said Mo’Nique, the actress and comedienne who is producing a film biography about McDaniel. The tribute renewed an old mystery: Where is McDaniel’s own, historic Oscar? It belongs to Howard University’s theater department, which has spent years trying to figure out

what happened to the Oscar that disappeared decades ago — though nobody knows exactly when. “It’s a never-ending mystery,” says Tom Gregory, a Hollywood memorabilia collector. “Where is it? It’s really an unbelievable story.” McDaniel was named Best Supporting Actress in 1940 for playing the servant Mammy in “Gone With the Wind,” a performance that earned praise even as McDaniel was criticized for perpetuating negative stereotypes. When she died of breast cancer in 1952, McDaniel bequeathed her Oscar to Howard’s drama department, which had honored the pioneering actress with a luncheon after her win. (McDaniel had no academic affiliation with the school.) Howard archivists say there’s no official record that the university ever received the award, which was a plaque, not one of the iconic Oscar statuettes. (Supporting actor and actress winners didn’t get statuettes until 1943.) But former students vividly recall seeing it in the school’s finearts building, Childers Hall. Charles “Buddy” Butler, a theater major who graduated from Howard in 1968, says he saw the plaque displayed in a glass-enclosed case in the Childers greenroom. The university’s drama chairman at the time, Owen Dodson, “was so proud of having it at Howard,” says Butler, who now teaches theater at San Jose See MYSTERY, page 8

Bakewell Family to Buy ‘Watts Times’ Publishers of two of Los Angeles’ most historic black newspapers — Danny Bakewell Sr., publisher of the Los Angeles Sentinel, and Melanie Polk, publisher of the L.A. Watts Times — announced they are in the final stage of an exclusive negotiation for Bakewell Media to purchase the L.A. Watts Times. Bakewell, publisher and chairman of Bakewell Media, said, “I am proud and honored that Melanie chose me and my family to continue the great legacy of the Watts Times, its founders and her parents. We thank and applaud her for the great work she has done in making this newspaper one of black L.A.’s finest.” Polk said, “The L.A. Watts Times has been a part of my life since I was very young, and while it is bittersweet for me to move on, it has been my commitment to see

San Francisco prosecutor Kamala Harris and Holly J. Mitchell were big winners on the Democratic ticket in the June 8 primary election. Harris has just one more hurdle in her bid to become California’s first African American attorney general. She captured 33.1 percent of votes statewide and 29.9 percent of the Los Angeles County vote to outdistance former L.A. City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo for the Democratic nomination. She will face L.A. District Attorney Steve Cooley in November, who won the Republican nomination. Crystal Stairs CEO Holly J. Mitchell, hand picked by former California Assembly Speaker Karen Bass to replace her in the assembly for the 47th District Assembly seat, overcame competition from California Democratic Party secretary Reggie JonesSawyer to win the 47th District seat nomination. Mitchell, who

received nearly 44 percent of votes, will take on Republican winner Lady Cage Barille. In the state race for governor, Attorney General Jerry Brown easily won as the top Democrat with 84.1 percent of votes statewide, while former eBay CEO Meg Whitman won on the Republican side with roughly 64 percent of votes. L.A. City Councilwoman Janice Hahn lost her bid to become lieutenant governor to San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom. Despite winning 53 percent of the vote in L.A. County, Hahn could only manage 34.2 percent of the statewide vote. Newsom, who garnered 54.7 percent of votes, will face Republican Abel Maldonado, who captured 43.3 percent on the Republican side. In Congress, incumbent Laura Richardson handily defeated Peter Mathews, Lee Davis and Terrance Ponchak to capture the Democratic nod for the 37th congressional district. She received nearly 68 percent of votes.

that the L.A. Watts Times lives on. Long before Danny Bakewell purchased the Los Angeles Sentinel, he demonstrated his love and commitment for the black press.

“Having witnessed and benefited from his work on our behalf, I am confident he will carry the L.A. Watts Times to new heights for our community and advertisers alike.”

THE LEGACY CONTINUES — Publishers celebrate historic change. Melanie Polk and Danny J. Bakewell Sr.

Residents in the city of Inglewood will have to wait until August before they will see a new mayor. First District Councilman Danny Tabor and former Police Chief James Butts were neck-andneck when the county clerk finished counting in the wee hours of June 9. Only 243 votes separated Tabor and Butts. Tabor had roughly 26.4 percent of votes, while Butts had about 23.7 percent. The two must battle it out in an August runoff. Running unopposed for Democratic nominations in the June 8 primary election were Maxine Waters (35th District-U.S. Congress); Jerome Horton (4th DistrictState Board of Equalization); Curren Price (26th District-California State Senate); Mike Davis (48th DistrictCalifornia Assembly); Steve Bradford (51st District-California Assembly); Isadore Hall (52nd District-California Assembly); and Warren Furutani (55th DistrictCalifornia Assembly).

NEWS IN BRIEF THE SOUTHLAND Jury Selected in Train Station Shooting Trial (AP) — The upcoming trial of a white ex-transit officer charged with killing an unarmed black man in Oakland has already sparked racial tensions in the city, one of the reasons the trial was moved to Los Angeles. On June 8, a jury of seven whites, four Hispanics, one East Indian — and no blacks — was selected to hear the case against former Bay Area Rapid Transit police officer Johannes Mehserle, according to KTVU-TV. Mehserle is accused of murdering Oscar Grant on New Year’s Day 2009 in a shooting that was captured on video by several bystanders. He has pleaded not guilty and his attorneys have said he mistakenly pulled his gun rather than a Taser in an attempt to subdue Grant. Prosecutors contend he intended to shoot Grant and he used his weapon because officers were losing control of the situation. The trial could be the most racially polarizing of its kind in California since four Los Angeles

police officers were acquitted of beating Rodney King in 1992.

Crime-Plagued Compton to Revive City Police Force (AP) — The city of Compton is taking a step toward reclaiming its ability to police itself. The City Council voted June 2 to re-establish a police department that shuttered a decade ago under a cloud of corruption and politics. Mayor Eric Perrodin, a former Compton police officer, cast the deciding vote in the 3-2 decision to end the city’s contractual relationship with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. The vote also authorizes the city manager to begin forming a new police department. Compton was once a notorious hub of gang activity. A high murder rate once propelled the city to No. 1 on a list of the nation’s 20 most dangerous cities. Since the sheriff’s department took over in 2000, the number of violent crimes, though still high, has dropped. The city recorded 55 homicides in 1999 and 37 last year. City officials said the process to form a new department would take about a year.

OPINION EARL OFARI HUTCHINSON

Overcoming the Pitfalls in the Oscar Grant Case When prosecutors indict police officers for the murder of unarmed civilians, they realize that colossal pitfalls may impede a conviction, no matter how cut-and-dried the evidence. The pitfalls are certainly there in the case of former BART police officer Johannes Mehserle. Mehserle is charged in the (videotaped) New Year’s Day 2009 killing of Oscar Grant, a young African American, on a Bay Area Rapid Transit station platform. Compelling video footage shows an unarmed and handcuffed Grant face down on the BART platform. Grant does not appear to be resisting the officers. And numerous witnesses confirmed that Grant posed no threat to the officers. BART officials offered the weak explanation that Mehserle mistakenly thought that he was reaching for his Taser gun. If Mehserle had been a civilian and committed murder with this overwhelming amount of witness testimony and video footage, his implausible explanation for the deadly shooting would never have been taken seriously. Instead,

he would have been swiftly convicted and imprisoned. But that didn’t happen. Mehserle’s a cop. That’s the first pitfall. There have been hundreds of civilians killed by police officers in California in the past decade. Although, in many of the killings, the civilians gunned down were unarmed and not in the process of committing a crime, no officer has been charged with murder. Mehserle is the first in the past two decades to be charged. The second pitfall to convicting cops charged with deadly force is the use of video footage. Defense attorneys who represent cops charged in suspicious fatal shootings have made the undermining of videotaped evidence into a science. In a number of these highly charged cases nationwide, skilled defense attorneys have managed to win acquittals. They tell jurors that the videos are grainy and fuzzy, the sound and quality are poor, the tapes have missing pieces, and that they omit the scenes which show what provoked the officer to use force. They pound home that videos

can be interpreted in many different ways. Defense attorneys also question the honesty, motives and background of those who videotape such incidents. They will do the same in the Grant killing. The next pitfall is the investigation. Police officials and prosecutors move at a deliberately glacial pace in compiling evidence, witness testimony and officer statements. The time delay works to the officer’s advantage. It ensures that his version of why officers used force lines up with the version given by other officers present. Mehserle’s quick resignation after the Grant shooting further blurred matters. He evaded an internal investigation. Defense attorneys wasted no time in asking for and getting Mehserle’s trial moved out of the Bay Area. The aim, of course, was to get the most cooperative jury, judge and trial surroundings. Defense attorneys may have gotten all three when the trial was moved to Los Angeles. It’s a city where few are familiar with the case in detail and no

Univ. of Notre Dame Valedictorian Katie Washington A Terrific Role Model BY MARIAN WRIGHT EDELMAN

As colleges and universities across the country celebrated their students’ accomplishments this commencement season, the news about the top student at the University of Notre Dame was especially inspiring for me. Twenty-one-year-old Katie Washington from Gary, Ind., made history as Notre Dame’s first black valedictorian. Katie was a biological sciences major with a minor in Catholic social teaching who earned a perfect 4.0 grade point average. She is planning to pursue a joint M.D./Ph.D. next at Johns Hopkins University, and she said she was “humbled” and “in a mode of gratitude and thanksgiving” by being named valedictorian. In a culture filled with superficial celebrities, beautiful, brilliant, hard-working young people like Washington are real role models and ought to be on the cover of our magazines. They’re who our children should aspire to be. Washington’s work ethic and passion for medicine were instilled in her by caring parents. Her father is a doctor and her mother is a nurse, and an older brother and sister have chosen medical careers too. In interviews, Washington remembered going to her father’s office after school, where she would sit and do her homework and later had the chance to accompany him as he visited patients. She also thanked teachers and other adult mentors who encouraged her over the years, saying, “I have had so much support, people

who really wanted to see that I reached my full potential. They all had my best interest at heart.” Meanwhile, her proud parents and teachers remembered how disciplined she was and how hard she always worked. As an undergraduate, Washington conducted research on lung cancer and spent a year and a half studying the mosquito that carries dengue and yellow fever. She did some of her research in partnership with Notre Dame’s Haiti program and helped show how human habits in Haiti contribute to infectious mosquitoes’ spread. Her studies outside the lab included serving as student coordinator of the Center for Social Concerns’ “Lives in the Balance: Youth Violence and Society” seminar. In her graduation speech, she spoke of the shock that occurred when she visited a juvenile re-entry program as part of that seminar and met an old childhood friend who was trying to turn his life around after being involved in the juvenile justice system. Although they had grown up in the same neighborhood, she was moved by how differently their lives had turned out so far. Washington also served as a student director of the school’s gospel choir and a mentor and tutor for girls at a local high school where she was able to give back some of the support and encouragement she had received. In her graduation speech, Washington also spoke to fellow students about the importance of

being able to move on “after the applause stops” — and of being self-motivated to keep moving forward to use their gifts and serve oth- Marian Wright ers. She is alEdelman ready living out this lesson with her own life. Too often, we read headlines about young people only when they have gotten into trouble. But we all need to seek out and hold up young people like Washington who are working hard, doing the right thing, and excelling. Just as Washington was mentored by adults in her home, school, church and community, we can all do our part to encourage young people in our circles. Who knows when we will be mentoring the next brilliant scientist or college valedictorian? And who knows how far Washington will go now and what medical breakthroughs or cures she will work on over her lifetime? Congratulations, Katie Washington! We are so proud of you. Marian Wright Edelman is president of the Children’s Defense Fund, whose Leave No Child Behind mission is to ensure every child a healthy start, a head start, a fair start, a safe start and a moral start in life and successful passage to adulthood with the help of caring families and communities.

African Americans will serve on the jury. Also, a judge believed to have shown excessive leniency toward LAPD officers in the Rampart scandal has been assigned to the case. The key, though, is the jury in police misconduct trials. Police defense attorneys try to get as many middle-class whites on panels as possible. The presumption is that they are much more likely to believe the testimony of police and prosecution witnesses than black or young witnesses, defendants or even the victims themselves. This is no small point. The great majority of deadly force killings are of young African Americans or Latinos. The witnesses generally are young and of color. That’s the case in the Grant killing. Mehserle’s attorneys scored another legal coup in successfully barring any mention by prosecutors of his documented past history of violence and provocative acts. The greatest pitfall is the muddled standard of what is or isn’t acceptable use of force. It often comes down to a judgment call by the officer. In the Rodney King beating case in 1992, defense attorneys

VOTERS Continued from page 1 According to the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk, only 19.6 percent of eligible registered voters cast ballots in L.A. County. County elections officials must report their final results to the secretary of state 31 days after Election Day, which for this election is July 9. Election results are as follows: PROPOSITIONS & MEASURES Proposition 13 3,200,194 (Y) 588,582 (N) Property Taxes, Seismic Retrofit of Buildings Proposition 14 2,077,100 (Y) 1,761,410 (N)

turned the tables and painted King as the aggressor, claiming that the level of force used against him was justified. In the Sean Bell killing in New York City in 2007, attorneys claimed that Bell and his companions were trying to run them down, causing officers to fear for their lives. Mehserle’s attorneys almost certainly will use the same playbook with Grant. These are the daunting pitfalls to convicting Mehserle. But these are pitfalls that a diligent and determined prosecution must overcome. Earl Ofari Hutchinson is a political analyst and author of “How Obama Governed,” among other works.

Several California cities, including Los Angeles, Oakland and San Francisco, have passed similar measures. The Arizona law, set to go into effect July 29, requires police enforcing another law to question people about their immigration status if there is reason to suspect they are in the country illegally. Supervisor Gloria Molina said the law “goes too far.” “I am sworn as an L.A. County supervisor to uphold the Constitution. All I can say is that I believe that Arizona’s law is unconstitutional,” she said. Critics of the law also say it unfairly targets Hispanics and could lead to racial profiling. Proponents insist racial profiling will not be tolerated.

Interns at Small Businesses May Need Special Care BY JOYCE M. ROSENBERG AP BUSINESS WRITER

NEW YORK (AP) — With the arrival of summer, many small businesses take on interns. These young people are looking for experience and, in some cases, school credits. Companies appreciate the extra help, particularly when they’re not able to hire. But many owners find that hiring an intern isn’t like hiring a temporary employee. Interns often have little or no work history, and some need guidance on how to behave in the working world. An owner who’s busy running a company might be surprised to find he or she also needs to become a boss/parent/teacher to an intern. It can be time consuming, but also rewarding. Here are some of the issues owners need to consider when taking on an intern: The Care and Training of Interns Many small-business owners anxious to get some extra help can make the mistake of assuming that an intern is like any other worker. It’s not quite that simple. Interns are supposed to be having a learning experience, not giving a company another warm body. These days, some interns are

people who have lost jobs or who graduated from college a few years ago. They’re likely looking to build a resume and get a chance at a future hire. But many others are college or even high school students who are using internships as a way to get course credit. Because they are supposed to be learning, interns may need more supervision than an owner expects. “They need a lot of hand-holding, and that hand-holding actually takes you away from the work that a small business requires you to do,” said Agnes Huff, CEO of Los Angeles-based Agnes Huff Communications Group LLC. Some companies assign staffers to help mentor interns and work closely with them. Leslie Saunders found out years ago how important it is to supervise interns. One intern hired at her Tampa, Fla., employee benefits brokerage was asked to do filing. She started filing everything under clients’ first names. “We have many Johns, many Thomases, many Christophers. She was doing it for several weeks before anybody really noticed,” recalled Saunders, president of Leslie Saunders Insurance Agency Inc. See INTERNS, page 9

Los Angeles’ Transit Push Gets a Boost from Feds (AP) — An effort to speed up construction of the subway to the sea in Los Angeles has received a boost from the Obama administration. Sen. Barbara Boxer said June 4 that the Federal Transit Administration has agreed to accelerate review of the 9-mile segment. That will help get the project shovel-ready for when officials secure funding for it. Boxer said she also received a letter from Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood supporting a local plan to accelerate construction of a dozen transit projects by borrowing from the federal government. In 2008, Los Angeles County voters agreed to increase the sales tax to raise about $40 billion for transportation improvements over a 30year period. Under the “30/10” plan, local officials propose completing those projects in 10 years by borrowing from Washington.

As an antidote to the many children without fathers in L.A. who might live a life of poverty, drug abuse and incarceration, Children’s Institute launched Project Fatherhood in 1996 to increase the involvement of disadvantaged fathers in the upbringing of their children, especially those adrift in the child welfare system.

Opponents also said that increasing regulation on long guns would do nothing to keep firearms out of the hands of criminals who often obtain them illegally. Feuer countered that the number of handguns confiscated by law enforcement for crimes was nearly equal to the number of rifles and shotguns taken from criminals.

THE STATE California Bill Would Increase Rules on Rifles SACRAMENTO (AP) — Lawmakers in the California Assembly are battling over a gun control bill that would extend the same reporting requirements and regulations that govern hand guns to rifles and other long guns. On June 3, the measure, AB 1810, passed the Assembly on a 4310 vote. It now moves to the Senate. Assemblyman Mike Feuer, D-Los Angeles, sponsored the bill, saying it would help law enforcement investigate gun crimes. Opponents argue the Legislature is systematically taking away their

Judge Denies Bid to Stop Closure of L.A. Pot Shops (AP) — A judge has decided against coming to the aid of medical marijuana dispensaries threatened with closure under a new city ordinance. Superior Court Judge James Chalfant rejected a bid June 4 for a temporary restraining order that would prevent officials from enforcing the law. A group of 12 patients has sued the city, saying the ordinance was unconstitutional because it would prohibit access to their medicine. More than 400 pot dispensaries were to be shut down beginning June 7, when the law went into effect. Another 130 have six months to meet stringent guidelines to remain open. The shops cropped up across Los Angeles in recent years as the City Council wrestled with drafting an ordinance.

Marcus Miller on Tap for 32nd Playboy Jazz Festival BY DARLENE DONLOE CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Marcus Miller is at the top of his game. His name is synonymous with “incredible jazz.” One of the hottest jazz artists on the circuit, Miller is set to bring his unique jazz flavorings, via his bass guitar, to the Hollywood Bowl this weekend as part of the 32nd Playboy Jazz Festival, set for June 12 and 13. He’ll be part of an elite assemblage of jazz artists on tap to heat up the bowl’s stage for its annual musical soiree. When you talk to Miller, it’s clear he loves what he does. While he has “fun” performing, he’s keenly serious about his music. When he speaks about music, his passion is palpable and unmistakable. The Grammy Award-winning artist has worked with hundreds of artists including, Aretha Franklin, Bill Withers, Mariah Carey, Roberta Flack and LL Cool J. This week, the L.A. Watts Times caught up with the venerable musician, who is on the road about five months out of the year, to ask what fans can expect during his performance at the Playboy Jazz Festival and what’s next on his agenda. LAWT: There are numerous jazz festivals you can play every year. Why did you choose to play the Playboy Jazz Festival, and what makes it so special? MM: It has a unique vibe at Playboy. The people really come to party. At a lot of festivals, some people are quiet and focus on music. As a musician it’s a real challenge. If you don’t come with it, they will ignore you. It’s like a block party. LAWT: What songs will be included in your set? MM: I’m doing a tribute called ‘Tutu’ for Miles Davis. I composed it back in the ’80s. It’s been 25 years since that album. Christian Scott will also be playing in the band. He is incredible. We are revisiting that. LAWT: How many festivals do you play in a year? MM: About 30. They’ve got festivals in Korea, Japan, South America, the U.S., all through Europe. LAWT: How do you describe your music? MM: My music is a mixture of jazz, funk and hip-hop. It’s a reflection of New York and the neighborhood where I grew up. LAWT: Describe jazz. MM: It’s what happened when African musicians got a hold of European instruments. They played them but put a flip on it. It’s like they said, ‘I like this song, but I want to put my flavor to it.’ The main thing that makes it exciting is improvisation. We know how it’s going to start and end, but as musicians we leave the middle open. LAWT: What makes jazz pure? MM: I have a different attitude than some cats. For them it’s pure jazz if it was played between 1940 through ’60. For me, it’s the improvisation and coming up with new stuff. The legends like Charlie Parker and Coltrane, they didn’t

play like the guys before them. They found something new. It’s the spirit of innovation. LAWT: If you couldn’t play music … MM: I’d feel like someone took my voice. When I hear myself play the bass, that’s the real me. LAWT: What does music do for you? MM: Everybody wants to express themselves and feel like they’re being heard. I feel like I’m being heard. LAWT: How has your music changed from the beginning to now? MM: I don’t play all the notes now. I try to find the right notes, the ones that are the most meaningful. LAWT: It’s Black Music Month. What’s the best way to celebrate? MM: Listen to all the greats who came before us. Then, go buy some music. LAWT: The ultimate jam session — who is there? Your choices can be any artist, alive or dead. MM: Drummer John ‘Jabo’ Starks, Bootsy Collins is on bass. Stevie Wonder is on keyboards. Prince is going to play the guitar. With the vocals I’d have Chaka Khan, Luther Vandross and Michael Jackson. Coltrane is on sax, trumpet is Miles Davis. When Bootsy gets tired, I’m going to throw in Larry Graham. Then when his fingers start hurting, I’m going to jump in there and do my thing. Jimi Hendrix is going to come do a solo too. He’ll tell Prince, ‘This is how you do it, young man.’ Louis Armstrong is going to come out of no where and just tell everybody to ‘break it down.’ He’ll show them how it’s done. LAWT: What’s up next for you? MM: We’re starting the tour. We’ll be on the East Coast. Then, we’ll be in France, Germany and Italy. Then I’ll start working on my next CD in August. LAWT: Do you have advice for newcomers? MM: Better love what you do. Do your best to figure out what you love. LAWT: When you’re not playing music, what do you do to wind down? MM: Basketball. I’m good. I’m a shooting guard. I’m kind of Kobe-esque (laughter). If you‘re not going to make me prove it, I’m going to say it. Others set to play on June 12 See MARCUS MILLER, page 12

MYSTERY Continued from page 1 State University in California. “Dodson talked about it as something we, as African American students, could aspire to.” Sometime after Butler graduated, though, McDaniel’s award vanished. Gone, as it were, with the wind. Was it taken by student protesters to repudiate the subservience of McDaniel’s Mammy? The Wikipedia entry on McDaniel states as fact that her Oscar “disappeared during racial unrest (at Howard) in the late 1960s.” (One version of that popular theory has students tossing the award into the Potomac.) Other theories abound: Maybe the plaque was moved for safekeeping during a period of black-power protests and never made it back to its display case. A professor might have walked away with it. Perhaps it was stolen, then sold to a collector. Any of this could have happened in 1968. Or was it 1973?

Department Warns About Disposal of Skin-Lightening Creams Containing Mercury SACRAMENTO (California Environmental Protection Agency) — The California Department of Toxic Substances Control advises the public that anyone possessing dangerous face cream products suspected to contain mercury should dispose of them at a local household hazardous waste facility. The California Department of Public Health recently issued a health alert about those skin-lightening face creams from Mexico and other countries that contain enough mercury to cause health problems. These products are used to lighten skin color, fade freckles and age spots, remove wrinkles and treat acne. Many of these products are in unlabeled containers or have “Sometime in the early ’70s — I can’t recall the exact date — I was back on campus and went into the greenroom, and it wasn’t there,” says Donal Leace, a professional singer and former Howard student who remembers holding McDaniel’s Oscar in his hands sometime in the ’60s. Leace is convinced that the award — among the most valuable and historically significant artifacts in African American film history — was stolen. By whom, he has no idea. “It’s odd; these things usually get out,” he says. “Somebody fesses up to having seen it.” “Nobody knows when it went missing — that’s partly why nobody knows where it might be,” says Leslie Unger, spokeswoman for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Five years ago, Joseph Selmon, Howard’s theater chairman, asked the academy to issue a replacement Oscar for McDaniel. Citing a long-

NEW YORK, N.Y. (Skin Cancer Foundation) — The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends the following tips for preventing skin cancer, the most common form of cancer in the United States, with 3.5 million cases in more than 2 million people diagnosed annually, includ-

ing people of color: 1. Seek the shade, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when the sun is strongest. 2. Use a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher daily. Use SPF 30 when spending extended time outdoors. For effective UVA protection, select products that also contain some combination of avobenzone, oxybenzone, mexoryl, zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. 3. Apply 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) of sunscreen to all exposed areas, 30 minutes before going outside. Reapply every two hours or immediately after swimming or excessive sweating. This means that a 6-ounce bottle of sunscreen offers two full days of sun protection for prolonged outdoor activity. 4. Cover up with clothing, including a broad-brimmed hat and UV-blocking sunglasses. Wear densely woven and bright- or darkcolored fabrics, which offer the best defense. The more skin you cover, the better, so choose long sleeves and long pants whenever possible. 5. Keep newborns out of the sun. Sunscreens should be used on babies over the age of six months. Children are extremely vulnerable to ultraviolet radiation.

standing policy, the academy said no, sending instead a framed photo of McDaniel and a sheet of commemorative McDaniel postage stamps. “We do not create replacements for heirs or whomever may have come into possession of an award following the winner’s death,” Unger explains. Interest in McDaniel has been rising. The U.S. Postal Service issued a stamp in her honor in 2006, and a musical, “Hattie . . . What I Need You to Know,” has played off-Broadway. Producer Re’Shaun Frear is also petitioning for a replacement award. “I’m trying to get the African American film community behind it so the academy has no choice,” he says. Mo’Nique’s planned biopic comes as scholars increasingly argue that there was more to the pioneering actress than Mammy — and that her best-known performance was atypically forceful for a black female in 1930s Hollywood, anyway. “Through Mammy, she was offering a thickly veiled critique against stereotypes,” says Jill Watts, a history professor at California State University at San Marcos and author of “Hattie McDaniel: Black Ambition, White Hollywood.” “People have been coming around to that in the last 10 to 15 years.” In the 1960s, though, as the Civil Rights Movement soared and social turbulence swept across Howard’s campus, many students viewed McDaniel with disdain. “I was too radical to truly appreciate the genius of Ms. McDaniel,” says writer Pearl Cleage, who studied at Howard in the mid-’60s. “I was conditioned to be angry because she won the award for playing Mammy. Politics trumped the art of her amazing performance.” Vera J. Katz, a former drama professor, recalls the day Butterfly McQueen, who also played a servant in “Gone With the Wind,” came to

campus and was booed by students: “They felt she was a Thomasina — an Uncle Tom. They were upset with her for playing a sweet, stupid servant.” Could the same students who booed McQueen have taken McDaniel’s Oscar in protest? “There were a lot of things — a lot — that ended up being stolen or ‘went missing,’ because there was an attitude to try to get rid of the past,” says Geoffrey Newman, a Howard alumnus and theater chairman who is now a dean at Montclair State University in New Jersey. Newman is certain the Oscar “was stolen by an irate student who wanted to erase Hattie McDaniel.” Gregory, the Hollywood collector, thinks the award, which he values at more than $550,000, was thrown into the Potomac in a final act of erasure. “I spoke to a guy who told me it was heaved into the river — he was there,” Gregory says, though he cannot recall his informant’s name. “Why would you do that? It’s like heaving a diamond ring into the river because you’re mad at somebody.” That story “makes for an interesting legend, but I would have to think that is not even remotely true,” says Richard Wesley, who studied at Howard in the ’60s and now teaches at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. Few students outside the drama department knew Howard had the Oscar, Wesley says. “And certainly no drama student at Howard would have done something as disrespectful as that, even if we were still willing to fuss about the symbolism of Mammy.” He has another theory: “I am pretty certain that Owen Dodson took the Oscar with him. He was very protective of his artifacts.” But Dodson didn’t have the Oscar when he died in New York in 1983, according to James Hatch, author of “Sorrow Is the Only Faithful One: The Life of Owen

containers that say “mercury,” “mercurio” or “calomel” (mercurous chloride) on the label. Mercury can be highly toxic to humans. It can cause nerve damage like tremors, memory loss, weight loss and fatigue. Mercury can also lead to kidney failure. Products containing mercury, like face creams, should be disposed of at a local household hazardous waste facility to keep mercury from leaching into groundwater from a land fill. Disposing of hazardous waste properly helps to reduce the amount of mercury and other toxic metals in the environment.

Consumers Advised Not to Use Arrow Brand Medicated Oil SILVER SPRING, Md., (PRNewswire-USNewswire) — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration warned consumers on May 27 not to purchase or use a product called “Arrow Brand Medicated Oil & Embrocation.” The product is potentially toxic and contains two substances, methyl salicylate and camphor, which are poisonous when ingested. Symptoms of poisoning from these ingredients could include: abdominal pain; nausea; vomiting; diarrhea; headache; visual changes; dizziness; and mental confusion. Some cases of accidental overdose of methyl salicylate and camphor have been fatal. The product is sold primarily on the Internet, but the FDA is asking retailers to remove the product from store shelves. Information: www.fda.gov, (888) INFO-FDA. Dodson” and literary executor of Dodson’s estate. He “never saw at any time an Academy Award in Owen’s apartment” and “never heard him talk about it.” Butler, the San Jose State professor, has a theory involving a different Howard instructor. “I’ve heard on more than one occasion that it was taken by Mike Malone,” Butler says. “I heard from a couple of former students that they had seen the award in Mike’s apartment” in Cleveland, where Malone became artistic director of the Karamu House theater company. But Reggie Kelly, who was a Malone protégé at Karamu House, says he never saw the artifact during frequent visits to Malone’s apartment and that Malone, who died in 2006, “never mentioned anything about Hattie McDaniel or the award.” Selmon has settled on yet another narrative: The award was put into storage, perhaps in an unmarked or mismarked box. He remains optimistic it will be found. Eventually. It’s hardly uncommon for things — important things — to be misplaced at large universities, including Howard. Consider the case of Bill “Bojangles” Robinson. For years, a bronzed pair of the great tapdancer’s shoes sat in the same display case that held McDaniel’s Oscar. Then, the shoes vanished. “Everybody thought they were gone,” Selmon says. “But they were actually just in a box somewhere.” The bronzed shoes are now in the same locked library storage room where a Howard employee recently discovered more McDaniel material. But excitement quickly evaporated. The find was not the Academy Award, but an old photo of McDaniel. In a file cabinet nearby, there was also this: An old memo with an ageless title: “Where Is Hattie McDaniel’s Oscar?”

James will remain with the Cleveland Cavaliers. And the beat continuesâ&#x20AC;Ś The world knows John Wooden was the greatest basketball coach in history, and he was much more than that as a man. At 99, Wooden has passed on to that big basketball court in the sky to be with his beloved wife, Nell. When they met, he was 16 and she was 15. My wife Eunice and I shared

INTERNS Continued from page 3 â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was an honors student, but it never occurred to herâ&#x20AC;? that filing was done by last name, Saunders said. The investment in an intern can pay off well for a company. Rothman and many other owners have hired some of their interns as full-time staffers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can feel the rewards fairly quickly if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing it right,â&#x20AC;? said Anna Jerden, an account supervisor at Agnes Huff Communications. But Jerden also counsels owners to be a patient teacher, and give an intern time to adjust to working. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re bringing in someone who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the business, the first thing that happens to them is they get totally overwhelmed,â&#x20AC;? she said. Being A Boss/Parent to an Intern Some interns may never have worked before, or they had retail jobs or waited tables. They may have no idea how to behave or dress for an office setting. So owners may find themselves giving interns a few life lessons. Katherine Rothman, CEO of KMR Communications Inc. in New York, recalled an intern who worked in the public relations firmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reception area. Rothman said the young woman â&#x20AC;&#x153;was slouching down in her seat, looking like she was watching TV at home.â&#x20AC;? Rothman took the intern aside and told her, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the alert look you want your boss to see. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want clients or prospective clients to come in here and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first impression they have of the company.â&#x20AC;? Rothman has also dealt with similar issues, such as poor phone manners and female interns wearing clothes that are too revealing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to anticipate and assume they know nothing,â&#x20AC;? she said.

John Wooden

some precious moments with the Woodens, including dining with them at former UCLA Chancellor Charles Youngâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home and at the Penthouse Restaurant, not to mention flying with the legendary couple to Corvallis, Ore., to see the Bruins play the Ducks in football. I also had the privilege of recommending Wooden to receive the first Los Angeles Urban League Whitney M. Young Jr. Award. Woodenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10 NCAA championship wins speak volumes. They show what a teacher he was, that he taught his players to be the best they Like employees, interns have a range of work ethics. Some are gogetters, while some spend more time texting and on Facebook than they do working. In the latter case, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for an owner-intern talk. Some interns just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work out. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to learn. Owners who have dealt with the problem usually let these interns go. Jerden recalled an intern who couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spell and had grammar issues. Worse, she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to grasp the fact that this was a problem. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It became quite a handicap,â&#x20AC;? said Jerden. The young woman didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t last. Learn From Your Intern Owners are finding that young people who have social media savvy can help companies learn how to use services like Facebook and Twitter. These owners put their interns to work helping the business get a better presence online. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not the best for posting to Facebookâ&#x20AC;? said Julie Talenfeld, president of Boardroom Communications Inc., based in Plantation, Fla. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy for them. They know how to do it.â&#x20AC;? The Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Take on Interns Owners need to be careful if they have unpaid interns that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not violating the federal Fair Labor Standards Act. The law spells out the criteria that an internship must meet in order for the intern to be unpaid. The government considers an internship to be a training program that is for the benefit of the intern, not the company. The intern should not do the work that a regular employee would do. The Department of Laborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website has information about the criteria that must be met for an intern to be unpaid. It can be accessed at www.dol.gov/elaws/esa/flsa/scope/e r15.asp. Interns who get college credit but not pay are covered by the School-to-Work Opportunities Act of 1994. The Labor Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

could be on the basketball court. But, more importantly, the coach taught his players to be men and good citizens. Coach, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to a job well done. And the beat continuesâ&#x20AC;Ś Venus and Serena Williams may have been upset in the French Open singles competition but held on to win their fourth Grand Slam doubles title. Next up, the Williams sisters are slated to compete in Wimbledon, which lasts from June 21 to July 4. The Williams sisters have won eight out of 10 Wimbledon crowns since 2000. The dynamic duo will be favored again. If Tiger Woods werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t on the PGA tour, it would be a virtually all white. Also, when was the last time you saw a black caddy on the PGA Tour? And the beat continuesâ&#x20AC;Ś The World Cup opens in South Africa on my birthday, June 11, and ends July 11. Host country South Africa will battle Mexico in the opener. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a 32-team tournament, including the U.S. team, whom President Barrack Obama See SPORTS BEAT, page 12 website also has information on the regulations governing these interns. As with the FLSA, an intern under the School-to-Work act cannot do the work of a regular employee. The fact is, many companies do use interns to do work that employees might do. Owners might want to consider giving their interns a small salary. Your best move may be to check with a human resources consultant or labor lawyer.

she will replace Rep. Diane Watson, who served in Congress for 10 years â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a job Bass contends sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more than prepared for. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After spending five-and-ahalf years in the worst economic crisis in California history, I feel ready,â&#x20AC;? Bass told the L.A. Watts Times on Election Night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very excited about being able to go to D.C. to serve.â&#x20AC;? Though Bass said she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t suffer any sleepless nights on the campaign, 31 fundraisers were held and $600,000 was raised in 14 weeks to fund the campaign. Bass said she will continue to focus on the foster care system and criminal justice reform. She also plans to focus on foreign policy issues and root causes of poverty. Bassâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; landslide victory was celebrated at the United Teachers of Los Angeles union building on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles. The election party was attended by more than 200 guests, including Rep. Watson and 26th District Sen. Curren Price and 2nd District L.A. County Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a great time to celebrate because it shows that hard work pays off,â&#x20AC;? Price said in a speech at the election party. Bass has demonstrated she could be firm, strong, a visionary and balanced â&#x20AC;Ś thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the kind of leadership she showed in Sacramento with

her as the speaker and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the kind of leadership needed in Washington, Price added.
