Hello Readers,
I hope all of you are having a great summer. I pray for justice for Ms. Pinnock. Her attorneys file a lawsuit this week and we still don’t know who the officer’s name is nor do we know who he is. This is not right and the way they are manipulating this who process smells real fishy. We need to stay vigilante and not fall asleep. What is happening across this nation to Black America is horrible. It seems like every day there are reports of something happening to Black people. We must wake up and come to our senses and develop a sense of unity among ourselves. This is not to say we are to disrespect or put any one else down or do harm, but it does mean that we must assess where we are as a people and look at what is going on in all areas. Housing, finance, education, health, we are not fairing as well as other as a whole and we have been in this country a very, very long time. Remember we are descendents of an enslaved people who literally made this country what it is today, yet everyone else seems to benefit.

‘Apartheid Avenue’ Two Blocks from the White House By Rev. Jesse L. Jackson, Sr. Diplomats who abuse their immunity from prosecution to keep their “imported” domestic workers as virtual slaves are a repeated scandal. What has not gained as much media coverage and public exposure is the flagrant abuse of sovereign immunity by international organizations. For decades, the World Bank, the third-largest employer in our nation’s capital, has sustained racially discriminatory practices. And within the last few months, an appeal to address the issue has seen inaction by the newest president of the World Bank, appointed in 2010 by President Obama. In 2009, the Government Accountability Project identified only four black Americans out of more than 1000 American professionals working at the bank, not counting several thousand foreign nationals. The bank’s reply essentially was that there are not sufficient qualified black Americans. In fact, as the bank’s own internal reports have documented, discrimination is the root of the problem. In 1998, the Team for Racial Equality, consisting of senior officials including the bank’s current chief counsel, reported that “The findings of three earlier World Bank studies send a clear message: race-based discrimination is present in our institution.” One of the serious issues that the 1998 report and several subsequent ones identified is the “ghettoization” (segregation) of blacks in the Africa regional vice presidential unit, housed in a separate building from the World Bank’s main office, In 2009, a former senior vice president explained that blacks were placed in the Africa regional section to give them opportunity to prove their competence and win the confidence of management before they were considered for assignments in other areas. This made it difficult for black professionals to gain higher positions — and difficult for the bank to retain skilled black professionals who could find greater opportunities elsewhere. The situation was so insulting that a segment of 18th Street between Pennsylvania Avenue and G Street
has been unofficially christened “Apartheid Avenue.” To the left of the Street stands the Bank’s “J” building where blacks are largely segregated. To its right sits the bank’s flagship building where black professionals face glass doors. Because of the bank’s immunity from U.S. courts, victims of racial discrimination are confined to an internal tribunal. Since its establishment in 1980, the tribunal has dismissed all racial discrimination claims filed by blacks. In contrast, according to GAP’s 2009 report, “Complainants of other races who allege racial discrimination or applicants claiming reverse discrimination have better prospects for compensation awards.” The expectation of change was high when President Jim Yong Kim was nominated by President Obama and confirmed as the first minority president of the World Bank in 2012, and opened his first annual meeting by saying that his life was “fueled by” Dr. Martin Luther King’s optimism about the human condition. To his credit, President Kim assumed personal leadership in advancing the bank’s agenda for equality for women and the LGBT community. In the last six months he published two op-ed articles on women and LGBT issues, met with external advocacy groups, and made presentations and chaired sessions at related forums. In contrast, he has not met with leaders of the DC Civil Rights Coalition, delegating this to his chief of staff. The coalition submitted a petition calling on the president to (i) resolve outstanding cases of racial discrimination; (ii) establish an external commission; and (iii) introduce external arbitration as an alternative adjudicative outlet. To date, President Kim has not answered the coalition’s call. The bank’s formal posture remains that the bank “has zero tolerance for discrimination” and that staffers with grievances have access to a “reputable, independent, and impartial tribunal.” What is clear, however, is that the reality still does not match the rhetoric. It is time for President Kim to take aggressive action to shut down Apartheid Avenue.
Stimulating Students During Summer By Julianne Malveaux (NNPA) It’s mid-July. Do you know if your children are learning? Just a month ago they were eager to leave the regimentation of the daily classroom to “enjoy the summer.” A month from now, many will prepare to return to school. Will they return ready to hit the ground running in the fall? Or, will they struggle to catch up because their summer activities were not stimulating enough to prevent learning losses. Student’s score lower on standardized tests at the end of the summer than at the beginning of the summer, according to the National Summer Learning Association. That organization makes a strong case that young people must be engaged in summer learning and enrichment opportunities, because they lose as much as two months of math learning, and more than two months of reading proficiency without summer engagement. Of course, lower income students experience more losses, while middle-class students may gain proficiency during the summer. The National Summer Learning Association says that at least half of the achievement gap between lower and higher income young people is a function of unequal access to summer learning opportunities. Some youngsters don’t have summer opportunities because they don’t know about them, others because they can’t afford them, and still others because they are needed at home. Some teens are tasked with taking care of younger siblings, though they might be better served in enrichment programs that would prepare them for the next school year. Others must choose between work and summer enrichment programs, and when money matters, work wins over enrichment. And while subsidized summer enrichment programs are available, some students are unable to participate when even modest fees are required. I’ve not spoken of race, only income, in examining the importance of summer enrichment programs. But because African American students are more likely to be low-income than others, we know that race matters here. We also know that space makes a difference as well. There will be a greater variety of summer enrichment programs in affluent neighborhoods, as opposed to other neighborhoods. And while programs in affluent neighborhoods may offer scholarships for those who need assistance, transportation may become a barrier. Whether excuses or explanations, the achievement gap speaks to differential outcomes. While summer enrichment opportunities are differentially available, with Black and Brown young people less likely
to have access to opportunities than others, some organizations are doing the work to ensure that young people are intellectually engaged during the summer, enabling them to return to school ready to do their best work. Marian Wright Edelman, founder and leading light of the Children’s Defense Fund, has developed a Freedom School program that teaches young people civil rights history along with basic skills. Organizations can purchase the curriculum and send staff for training in teaching it. Thousands of young people are being positively impacted by Freedom Schools. Lots of local programs have developed programs that have elements similar to those at the CDF Freedom Schools. A week or so ago, I began my morning with the young people at Washington D.C.’s Southeast Tennis and Learning Center for their “Read Aloud” program. At about 8:30 in the morning, the youngsters, whose ages range from 6 to 15, gather in a circle to hear a book read to them, and to engage in an energetic and affirming ritual. I love the read aloud program because I love looking into the eyes of these young people, to imagine the leaders they will become. I read Faith Ringgold’s Aunt Harriett’s Underground Railroad in the Sky as selected students acted out the words, joined me in song, and applauded each other as the story came to an end. Flashback to preadolescence – the students who played the parts of Cassie and Bebe, a sister and brother separated moving along the railroad were supposed to hug when reunited. While the young man was “up” for the hug, the young woman looked like she wanted to run in another direction. The Read Aloud program ends with a rousing group rendition of Labi Siffre’s “Something Inside,” complete with choreographed hand gestures and motions. Every morning, these 50 or so young’uns are affirming themselves through song. The adults who participate in the Read Aloud program are politicians and business leaders, artists and educators. If they are anything like me, they leave uplifted by the children and their promise of resilience. I’m encouraging those who can to help with a summer enrichment program. Spend a day, a few afternoons, and maybe more time to help provide a summer experience. Funding helps provide great summer opportunities for our youth, and informal programs with a couple of retired teachers and a church basement can go a long way, as well. We cannot afford is to widen the achievement gap by leaving too many of our young people unengaged this summer. Julianne Malveaux is a Washington, D.C.-based economist and writer.

EDUCATION & COMMUNITY NEWS Important Guidelines for Landing That Perfect Job (BPT) - Graduating students are out in droves trying to find jobs that will enhance their careers. But before beginning the resume and interviewing process, there are certain do's and don'ts that students should be aware of so they will be competitive in today's limited job market. "Beyond the usual resume and interview, it is also important to note that having a social media presence is mandatory," says Stephanie Hausladen, director of career services for Heald College Fresno. "Recruiters will do their homework before they invite you in for an interview - 98 percent of recruiters are using social recruiting according to a recent survey from Bullhorn." Hausladen says to keep these tips in mind: Social networking do's * Recruiters using social media to check out potential employees breaks down to the following: LinkedIn (97 percent), Facebook (51 percent), Twitter (49 percent), Google+ (19.1 percent), and Pinterest (3.6 percent), so make sure your bio, your skill sets and your interests are current and accurate and be sure to have a professional photograph taken and used for these sites.
* Google your name before being interviewed so you know what is out there. Your interviewer will check all social media outlets before talking to you. * Set those privacy settings. If you don't, the world will know what you did over the weekend and it could jeopardize your chances of getting the interview or even the job. Social networkin g don'ts * Don't tweet anything inappropriate, someone is always looking. * Don't post compromising pictures, jokes or personal stories on the Internet. Recruiters and potential em-
ployers are checking. Beyond social media, an integral process of job hunting involves having a proper resume, below are some resume do's and don'ts to remember. Resume do's or FAKTA Focus: Make your resume reader friendly and use bullet points for specifics. Appearance: Do not use the title resume. Put name, address, one phone number, an email address, education, and experience. In describing you former employment list your title/position, the name of the employer, the city and state (no street address) and dates of employment. In describing your
Game On: Kid Tested, Parent Approved? (BPT) - It is no secret that kids love video games they're exciting, fun and engrossing. As a parent, you worry about the negative effects of screen time. Nevertheless, many video games are not only fun, but also build and strengthen cognitive development - skills in problem solving, reasoning, math and science. So how can a parent choose? "In past decades, educational video games were known for poor design and cheap production," says Jason Wiser, faculty in the Media Arts & Animation program at The New England Institute of Art, "with wonderful exceptions like Zoombinis and Oregon Trail putting all this shovelware to shame. But as gamers have grown up and become parents, the more discerning audience has helped give rise to a new generation of better games for kids." Wiser will be launching his own children's game app this summer, DinoTrucks, where children ages 3 to 10 experiment with open play by excavating bones and building dinosaurs. A successful educational game's core purpose should be fun and interactive, yet still teach as part of that interaction. "As consumers, children are very particular and tend to gravitate toward simple, flashy characters but for a game to hold their interest, it needs to be thought-provoking, creative, exciting and fun at its core - the learning is secondary," says
Mathew Quickel, faculty instructor of Computer Animation at The Art Institute of YorkPennsylvania. "This is a message that is heard loud and clear by game and app developers who create games that were in line with their interests. There has been a notable shift in game creation - it is common to see games created based on what children and their parents' interests are." The video game industry is one of the fastestgrowing sectors in the U.S. economy and is projected to grow by 5 percent annually through 2015, according to the Entertainment Software Association. As a subset of that, children's apps and video games are expected to continue to grow as parents are willing to pay increased amounts for games that will entertain and teach. "Parents who buy games for their kids are typically more concerned with content than price; they are willing to pay for a good product," Wiser says. Current trends include STEM (science, technology, engineering and math)focused games like "The Counting Kingdom," the ever-popular first person "shooter" games (good for learning strategy and immersive team play), kids' versions of adult games (i.e. Minion Dash, the Despicable Me game which is based on the endless runner "Temple Run") and games based on established properties, like "Olaf's Quest" from Disney's Frozen. Both
Wiser and Quickel agree that parents will determine what games they feel are "meaningful" and what they would like their child to play. They offer these tips when selecting games for kids: * Become familiar with the Entertainment Software Ratings Board (www.esrb.com). Their ratings are designed to help potential players understand the game's content and offer guidance on which games are appropriate for different ages. * E x p l o r e www.familyfriendlyvideogames .com. This site provides a report card on games, with detailed descriptions of game content, technical performance and kid friendliness. * Understand the types of games on the market: edutainment (educational games focusing on teaching the player), role-playing games (that offer deep story and character development), action games (that train and enhance hand-eye coordination), simulation games (building, vehicles such as planes or cars) and strategy games. * Use online reviews, ask other parents, ask your local store staff - and play games with your kids. So what's the bottom line? Video games are here to stay. And when appropriately used, they can provide an opportunity for children to learn, grow and have fun.
education spell out the name of the degree (Associate of Arts, Bachelor of Arts), the name of the college, the city and state where it is located and your major and minor. Do not justify margins or use smaller than 10.5 font. Keywords: In order to get noticed, your resume needs to contain keywords that directly target the jobs you are interested in. Your resume keywords should include specific job requirements, including your skills, software and technology competencies, relevant credentials and previous employers. There are various websites that list keywords. Transferable skills: Transferable skills are the skills you've gathered through various jobs, volunteer work, sports or other life experiences that can be used in your next job or new career. Accomplishments: A solid list of accomplishments on a resume can demonstrate your work ethic and ability to achieve results but avoid exaggeration, irrelevancies and ancient history. Accomplishments are more important to describe than duties. Resume don'ts * Don't have misspellings or typos; proofread carefully. * Don't put a career objective statement at the beginning. * Don't use personal pronouns or include personal interests or hobbies. * Don't lie. * Don't have an inap-
propriate email address. What may have been cute in college may not be accepted in a professional setting. Interview do's * Wear appropriate, conservative clothing. * Arrive at least 10 minutes before the interview to give yourself time to freshen up. * Treat others in the office with respect. They may be asked how you treated them. * Have a firm handshake. * Make eye contact with the interviewer at all times. * Write the interviewer a thank you note. Interview don'ts * Don't make excuses for past decisions or make negative comments about former employers. * Don't bring up salary or appear desperate for employment. * Don't treat the interview casually like you are shopping around for a job. * Don't chew gum or suck on candy (including breath mints). * Don't play with your cellphone while waiting for your interview to start. * Don't interrupt the interviewer. By following these guidelines, prospective employees will have a better chance to compete in the job market and land that perfect job. The Internet is an invaluable source of information on how to be the best candidate for a job.
Waters Calls on Department of Education to Ensure Corinthian Colleges Make Refunds Available for All Students Washington, D.C. - In response to the agreement the U.S. Department of Education reached with Corinthian Colleges, Inc. to receive $16 million in federal student aid funds while it closes or sells its campuses, Congresswoman Maxine Waters (CA-43) expressed her concerns with the agreement and called on the Department to eliminate distinctions that allow only a small group of students to withdraw and get refunds from the school. In a letter to Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, Waters said the Department should ensure students have an unqualified ability to withdraw from Corinthian schools, obtain a full refund, and discharge their student loan debt; and that Corinthian bears most of the cost of these refunds. "Forcing students to complete their education at Corinthian will not only result in higher rates of default on student loans, it will also deny them the opportunity to discharge their student loan debt," Waters wrote. "I ask that you use the Department’s discretionary authority to eliminate this artificial distinction
and make full refunds, including federal loan discharges, available to all Corinthian students." According to the Department of Education’s Office of Federal Student Aid, nearly 40% of Corinthian students have defaulted on their loans since 2008. Congresswoman Waters has been a longtime critic of predatory practices among some of the nation’s for-profit colleges, especially on the issue of gainful employment. Waters reiterated her support for a strict gainful employment rule in the letter saying, "I also urge the Department to stand firm in its commitment to enact strong gainful employment standards. Had such standards been applicable to Corinthian programs, this situation may have been avoided. A gainful employment standard not only forces schools to either improve or end such programs, it also can help the Department to better identify schools that are struggling financially and take appropriate action to protect taxpayers and students."

CHURCH & COMMUNITY NEWS 10 Tips to Becoming a More Productive Women’s Ministry Leader By Chris Adams First read the inspiration for this article at ThomRainer.com. Then let’s discuss these same tips as they relate to you as a women’s ministry leader: 1. Be spiritually disciplined. I rarely ever train leaders without seeking to impress upon them that the very best leadership tool they can acquire is a daily and ongoing walk with Christ. Time daily in the Word and in prayer, as well as listening to what God is telling you are absolutely essential. Plan for it, and make it non-negotiable. (Luke 2:52: And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and with people.) 2. Pray for the day ahead. Ask God to show you what you should seek to accomplish and what should be left for another time, if at all. Ask for sensitivity for each encounter you will have. Watch for the Holy Spirit’s movement and look for unexpected opportunities from Him throughout the day. (Jesus prayed before making big decisions. Luke 6:12: During those days He went out to the mountain to pray and spent all night in prayer to God.) 3. Be physically discip l i n e d . The Boomer generation to which I belong has found ways to stay healthy much longer than our grandparents did. We have ac-
cess to more health information than ever before and we have NO excuse for not exercising regularly. Your physical strength and well being will impact your mental and emotional well being! 4. Make appointments for teaching preparation. Whether you are leading a team or small group or speaking at a large event for women, you need time to bathe what God has laid on your heart in prayer. Know how long it will take you to research and teach on a topic and plan that time like a calendar appointment. 5. Determine one to three priorities you will ac-
complish for the day. What do you believe God has shown you to be the major tasks for your day? Does that mean you need to eliminate something from your list you previously placed on it?
6. Get sufficient sleep. I hate to even talk about this one because I have to answer the same question: How much sleep do you get a night? Not all of us need the same amount. Know what it takes to run on all engines and seek to get at least that much nightly. 7. Make appointments on your calendar for strategic v i s i o n . This one may also be a challenge. But occasional time set aside to look at the big picture and see where you are in the process of achieving the vision God has placed on your heart and in your mind will help you determine the best use of your time. 8. Laugh and have f u n . Life is just hard. Harder at some times than others. Watch for ways you can lighten up and laugh with those around you. Be a catalyst for joy and watch others follow! 9. Have a right attit u d e . The people you work with will
often affect your attitude — for better or worse! Find a way to “rejoice always” (Phil 4:4) as we are encouraged to do, and focus on what’s right more than what is not. 10. Work hard; rest i n t e n t i o n a l l y . If you tend to be a workaholic, make one of the items on your agenda to also stop working. My mind rarely shuts down, so for me I have to do puzzles or games or read Christian fiction to relax my “work” mind and rest. I wish I could tell you I do all ten things really well, but that wouldn’t be honest. These are a struggle for me as they probably are for you. But taking time to read though this list occasionally may remind you of things you might need to work on! We want to serve Christ as long and as effectively as possible — as long as we have breath. We will need to plan for that! What else would you add to this list?

HEALTH & COMMUNITY NEWS Older African Americans Admitted to the ER Have High Survival Rates Health in general varies widely among groups of people. Researchers often study how diseases and other health problems affect people differently, depending on their age, gender, race, and where they live. But the results of a recent health study by the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, which compared how well African Americans and whites fared in the emergency room, took many researchers by surprise. What researchers already knew Researchers already knew that African Americans admitted to hospital emergency rooms have worse outcomes than whites. Minority patients have a history of not responding and recovering as well as whites. In fact, African Americans between the ages of 16 - 64 are 20 percent more likely to die than whites.
What researchers didn't know However, what surprised researchers was the big change they discovered took place once African Americans reached the age of 65 and older. This age group told a very different story. In this age group, the older African Americans were 20 percent more likely than whites to survive. Why? Further research uncovered three potential reasons why the tables seem to turn as African Americans get older. As African Americans get older, most of the injuries that lead them to the ER are from falls and traffic accidents, not the more serious gunshot and stab wounds that younger patients are treated for in the ER. More than 99 percent of older African Americans have
THE SWEET AISLES By Dean L. Jones, CPM Grocery market aisle coordination seems quite fair on how they display like items, as they even are kind enough to keep the sugary-filled items like candy, cookies, cakes, sodas, and ice crème grouped in their respective places. So, it makes it easier to go around these items to lessen a possible sweet seduction. On the other hand, sugary items are not always overtly grouped and we mistakenly buy foodstuff filled with processed sugars. For instance, granola bars are commonly considered a healthy choice. Except, granola bars contain a lot of added processed sugar and it will usually not be found on the sugaryfilled treat aisles of the store. Breakfast cereals are the most noticeable sugar deceptions, but still a lot of shoppers are lured into thinking they can select one that is more healthy, especially if the cereal contains some fiber. Thus, label reading is crucial in the cereal aisle! For example, going back to granola, where a cereal claiming this as its base can have as many as 13 grams of processed sugar per serving (just shy of 3 teaspoons). On a side note, take heed that the Kellogg Company is running television advertisements showing adults eating Froot Loops. Kellogg is playing to people who grew up eating Froot Loops and their sense of childhood naive enjoyment counting lucky clovers and pink hearts. Another aisle that is a processed sugar disguise is the one displaying barbecue and tomato sauces, ketchup, and soups. The average ketchup has one teaspoon of processed sugar in every table spoon of the condensed tomatoes. The challenge is that you may not recognize sugar when reading the label where it will be called corn syrup, sorghum, glucose, fructose, lactose, sucrose, galactose, maltose, and concentrated juices, like concentrated grape or apple juice. The majority of shoppers are

Dean L. Jones now familiar with how fruit juice is nothing more than a concentrated source of processed sugar. Fruit at its natural state always comes with fiber and is a balanced way to digest it so that the natural sugars are not harmful to the body. However, when that fiber is not in place, drinking all of the added sugar and natural sugar wreaks havoc on the liver and kidneys. A simple 10-ounce bottle of pure apple juice will average 32 grams of processed sugar (8 teaspoons). Summertime thirst can mean being careful not to overdo the amount of packaged/bottled lemonade consumed. Pure natural lemonade is healthy, but the various lemonades sold on grocery shelves add loads of sugars, averaging around 25 grams per serving (a tad over 6 teaspoons). The same holds true with sweet tea, flavored yogurt, and dried fruit which are all items usually found far away from the candy and cookie aisles. It has become more than a notion to avoid the sweet aisles and stay SugarAlert! www.SugarAlert.com Dean Jones, Ethics Advocate, Southland Partnership Corporation (a public benefit organization), contributes his view on health attributes derived from processed foodstuff items.
health insurance like Medicaid. Having insurance results in more older Blacks using health care services. African Ameri-
cans have higher health risks than whites throughout their lives, which leads researchers to believe that as African Ameri-
cans get older, they get tougher than their white counterparts and develop a stronger sense of survival.
Blacks Are More Exposed to Air Pollution That Can Trigger Heart Attacks Because... Researchers have recently connected the dots on two lethal factors that can have a deadly effect on African Americans and other minorities. The two factors include increased heart attack risk among African Americans, and air pollution. Heart attack risk and air pollution African Americans are already at increased risk for heart attacks, strokes and heart disease. But recent research has also shown that African Americans and low-income Americans are exposed to 38 percent greater air pollution, and air pollution can trigger heart attacks. So, this presents a double whammy for African Americans in particular. What the research shows The research was done by the University of Minnesota. The results showed that race played an important factor in what quality of air people breathe every day. More Africans Ameri-
cans and low-income minorities live closer to urban communities where the air is filled with harmful nitrogen dioxide coming from power plants and exhaust fumes from vehicles. In fact, the air they breathe was found to be 38 percent more harmful than the air generally breathed by whites. Why Blacks are exp o s e d m o r e According to the researchers, less education and lower in-
comes among African Americans often place them in inner city environments where they are closer to toxic air. They even estimate that as many as 7,000 deaths could be prevented among minorities if they were not exposed to the level of air pollution that they now experience. One co-author of the study stated that they found the results "shocking". Source: Low Income Housing Authority

(AP) — ABC’s fall slate includes new series about black, Asian-American and Hispanic families. But calling the network’s choices a case study in diversity is to miss the point, said Paul Lee, ABC Entertainment Group president. “It is a mission statement to reflect America,” Lee told the summer meeting of the Television Critics Association on Tuesday. “That’s not so much diversity as authenticity when you reflect America.” The network has the advantage of strong storytellers including Shonda Rhimes, the force behind ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Scandal.” She’s going for a Thursday-night trifecta with “How to Get Away with Murder.” The new drama stars Viola Davis as a hard-charging law professor and criminal defense attorney, giving the AfricanAmerican actress the kind of starring role that TV doesn’t often accord minorities. Rhimes has done the same thing with “Scandal” and star Kerry Washington. ABC, the home of whiteoriented comedies “Modern Family” and “The Middle,” will introduce ethnic families in the sitcoms “black-ish,” ”Cristela” and “Fresh Off the Boat.” All of them have minority creators or producers or both behind the camera, which Lee said drives the shows’ authenticity. “Black-ish,” about an African-American family whose father worries that they’re losing touch with their ethnicity, stars

Although the shows are about ethnically specific families, they are “relatable” for all viewers, Lee said. “These are American stories, make no mistake about it,” he said. Barris said race is not the central point of “black-ish.” “This show has so much less to do with race than it does with culture and identity,” Barris said. America today is divided more along socio-economic lines than racial ones, he said, and the show intends to explore that division. When Rhimes was asked to discuss the lesson TV might learn from the rarity of two shows with
black female leads, she replied, “Do I think there are any lessons? No, I don’t. The shows speak for themselves.” Whether her dramas might affect the medium “remains to be seen. It hasn’t happened yet,” she said. Lee was asked why one returning show about an ethnic family, “The Goldbergs,” seems to avoid the Jewish experience, such as showing a celebration of Hannukah or a bar mitzvah. There is no agenda at work, Lee replied, saying such decisions were up to creator and executive producer Adam Goldberg. “It’s Adam’s show,” Lee said. “I’m not going to sit there as a network and say, as one Jew to another, ‘I want a bar mitzvah.’ ”

First Lady Salutes Grammy Museum, Music Teachers By Sandy Cohen, LOS ANGELES (AP) — Michelle Obama says every arts organization in the country should embrace the mission of the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles, which focuses on education. Six million American children attend schools with no art or music classes, she said Wednesday at the museum’s inaugural Jane Ortner Education Award Luncheon. “Arts are a way to channel … pain and frustration into something meaningful and productive and beautiful, and every human being needs that, particularly our kids,” she said. “And when they don’t have that outlet, that’s such a tremendous loss, not just for our kids but for our nation.” The Grammy Museum has worked with the first lady since 2009 to produce concerts and music education programs for young people, bringing 1,000 students to Washington, D.C. to see live performances. “Those are some of my favorite events at the White House,” Obama said. The Grammy Museum has focused on education since it opened in 2008, said executive director Bob Santelli. It aims to inspire learning, creativity and critical thinking through music. The museum hosts more than 35,000 students a year and provides free curricula for various subjects that incorporate music in innovative ways. Southern California high school teacher Sunshine Cavalluzzi developed one such curriculum: weaving music into economics lessons. She was accompanied by several of her students at the private

luncheon at L.A. Live’s Club Nokia, where she accepted the Jane Ortner Education Award. Singersongwriter Janelle Monae, who received the Jane Ortner Artist Award, said music saved her when she was growing up in a rough neighborhood. “Music helped me really deal with my emotions, when I could not articulate how frustrated I was,” she said. “It gave me the opportunity to get it all out.” Her latest album, 2013′s “The Electric Lady,” rails against sexism, presenting women as subjects rather than objects. The 28-year-old entertainer is active with the Grammy Museum’s educational outreach,
entertaining students at the White House and at the museum. “I hope we have more mentors,” Monae said. “More mentors than superstars.” After accepting her microphone-shaped trophy, she brought out her band and performed a highenergy four-song set that included a cover of James Brown’s “I Feel Good.” The first lady introduced the petite, pompadoured Monae, calling her a “fireplug” and a friend, and revealing that the singer danced on a table during her White House performance. “I love Janelle’s message,” Obama said. “I love that she is one of the young artists here that is making music that means something.”

NEWS & VIEWS Classified Employees Speak Out at Troubled School District INGLEWOOD— The California Professional Employees, Local Union # 2345, the Union for the classified employees in the Inglewood Unified School District (IUSD), spoke out at the District School Board meeting against the replacement of the current Campus Supervisors with armed School Safety workers. The District already has qualified School Police Officers. In addition, the District has laid off all of its Painters and the Union has caught the District using nonapproved Painters. Inglewood Unified School District needs clean and safe schools, the plan by the State will not work. Over the past years, custodians and other vital classified employees have been reduced. This year, largely classified employees have being cut.
“The State Trustee is attempting to balance the budget on the back of the lowest paid employees and it will not save the District”, stated Christopher Graeber, Field Representative for the Union. “IUSD does not need more guns on Schools”. The Inglewood Unified School District was taken over by the State of California in the fall of 2012. The California Professional Employees, Local Union # 2345 is a local union of the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades, AFL-CIO. The Union represents the 450 classified employees at the Inglewood School District. Classified employees are the support staff; custodians, office workers, food service, instructional aides, police and maintenance workers.
City Attorney Feuer Files Lawsuits Against Alleged Gang-Controlled LOS ANGELES – City Attorney Mike Feuer today announced that his office has filed nuisance abatement lawsuits against the owners of three south Los Angeles properties, including a strip mall and an unlicensed barber shop, allegedly controlled by the Rollin’ 30s and 40s criminal street gangs and used for gang activity including narcotics and firearms sales. City Attorney Feuer’s suits follow a collaborative operation with the LAPD and FBI that resulted in the service of 24 federal arrest warrants. “The lawsuits we filed today target chronic properties we allege are controlled by gangs, and are bases for drug and gun sales in close proximity to churches and schools,” said City Attorney Mike Feuer. “Gangs can be relentless in pursuing their criminal enterprises; we must be even more committed to assuring every neighborhood is safe.” Properties named in the lawsuit include: ·4376 Western Avenue, a commercial strip mall allegedly controlled by the Rollin’40s, a close ally of the Rollin’ 30s. In the last three years, there have been a drive-by shooting, armed robberies, gang assaults and seven documented narcotics transactions at the location. The property is within 750 feet of two schools. ·2025 Jefferson Avenue, a mixed-use property including an unlicensed barber shop, has been the location of five documented narcotics transactions within the past 18 months. The “Faded Up” barber shop was also linked to four
firearms sales between December 2012 and February 2013. The property is within 950 feet of an elementary school, a public library and three churches, including one church directly across the street from the location. ·1626 W. 38th Place, is a residential duplex, located in the heart of Rollin’ 30s turf and is known to be the hub of cocaine and other controlled substance sales. In the last two years, there have been at least 12 documented narcotics incidents there. The property is located within 785 feet of a learning center and two churches. The lawsuits seek a preliminary injunction against the owners requiring physical and managerial improvements including improved lighting, fencing, guest and tenant screening, stay away orders against gang members and various other provisions. With respect to the commercial locations, closures of the nuisance businesses will be sought and the owner will be required to screen prospective tenants and implement security measures, including hiring armed security guards. The lawsuits follow the initial phase of an FBI-LAPD investigation which resulted in the arrest of 117 Rollin’ 30s gang members and associations and the filing of six nuisance property abatement lawsuits by the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office. Today’s law enforcement actions represent the second phase in that continued operation. All litigation was spearheaded by members of the City Attorney’s Safe Neighborhoods and Gangs Division.

Baltimore Men Stand Against Violence By Roberto Alejandro From the AFRO
Taking yet another opportunity to send the message that Baltimore men are committed to stopping the violence in this city, they gathered, 300 strong at the west end of North Avenue, July 11, supported by n e i g h b o r s a n d friends.300MenMarch The annual event, a 10 mile march, was organized by the 300 Men March Movement, an outreach initiative created by community activist Munir Bahar and Baltimore City Councilman Brandon Scott, according to the organization’s website. In addition to holding the annual march, the group trains men for direct engagement in communities plagued by violence. Jahiti Brownfish – a community activist and cofounder of Hip Hop entourage Brown F.I.S.H. with the late Derrick OOH Jones, local teacher, rapper, and organizer of the Save A Dope Boy campaign – joined the 300 Men March Movement at last year’s demonstration, committing to the group and going out into neighborhoods as part of its outreach and antiviolence activities.
What struck Brownfish most about that first march was the number “dope boys,” young men who sell drugs on street corners, that joined the march as it traveled down North Avenue on its path from east to west Baltimore. “For that one moment they had an opportunity,” said Brownfish. “They were presented an opportunity to say do you care about your community – outside of what you’re doing – do you care enough to walk?
Because here’s the thing: you can’t front that walk . . . that (5 mile) walk is no joke and you’ve got to walk back and it’s a process of reflecting.” The march involved men of all ages and races. Brownfish mentioned an 80year-old White man who made all 10 miles of this year’s march. The march was hardly an all-male affair, however. Baltimore City Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake spoke at the opening of the demonstra-
Whites, Not Blacks Represent The Largest Group of People Moving to Low Income Areas -- and Other Little Known Facts One in four Americans now live in poverty areas, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The number of people who have been forced to move to poverty areas has greatly increased in the past 14 years. Why? What's behind the increase in poverty? The housing crash, loss of jobs and the country's financial crises has left many with no alternative but to move into poverty areas. Many people have lost their homes and now find themselves in a situation where they need to live where they can afford. This often means either moving where housing prices are low, or turning to subsidized housing and low-rent apartments, which often places them in poverty areas. Who is being affected? White Americans make up the largest increase of people moving to poverty areas. The number of whites moving into poverty areas increased from 11.3 percent in 2000 to 20.3 percent in 2012, almost doubling in 12 years. Overall, the number of people moving to poverty areas increased from 49.5 million in 2000 to 77.4 million in 20082012. Some areas of the country are worse than others. The percentage of people living in poverty in the state of Mississippi is 48.5 percent, while in New Hampshire it is 6.8 percent.
The downward spiral The real concern is that many people who have moved into poverty areas will find it tough to get out. Poverty areas offer fewer job opportunities, higher crime, fewer decent schools and fewer health care programs. These will be challenges to those who want to turn

things around to get out of poverty. Although poverty has actually decreased in some areas such as Louisiana, West Virginia, Alaska and Hawaii, it has increased overall and particularly in states such as Arkansas, North Carolina, Oregon, and Tennessee. Source: Low Income Housing Authority
tion, and many women helped to serve as floating registrars, signing up men who would join the march as it progressed eastward and back, as well as providing water and moral support for the demonstrators. Aneesah Morine, a host of the women’s issues podcast Diva’s DISH and member of the multi-media art exhibit group Baltimore Girls, served as a registration floater and described the event as power filled. “I was just proud to see the men walk against [violence], on behalf of awareness towards it, and our children seeing that there’s a future that – you can live longer than 25. There are men out here living longer than that and have vision other than a corner,” Morine said.
For Brownfish, more than just a chance to stand in unity with his fellow citizens against violence, the march was an opportunity to practice community level organization and activism. “No matter what you want to do in your community, whatever change you think you need to make, the first step is that some people have to show up somewhere to make that change – whether they’re going to vote, whether it’s coming to a building, whether it’s getting information – and our community has yet to learn that skill,” said Brownfish. “So to me the march, even though it’s an anti-violence march, it’s also our opportunity to organize ourselves, to practice that in a non-reactionary way.”
