“It’s OK. I’m right here with you.� - A four-year-old daughter’s attempt to comfort her mother after witnessing Philando Castile’s shooting death. When Alison V., my middle child was around eight, we had a brief encounter of the significant kind; we met a psychologist, Dr. Brenda Wall. This wasn’t a paid visit, it was a chance encounter at Soul 73 KKDA AM radio. It gave me the chance to ask her what she thought of my daughter. Dr. Wall is gifted, but the spirit of discernment is the most obvious. Dr. Wall is renowned in this community. She is the type of professional and practitioner, who if given three days with Donald Trump, could get him on the path to the healing that he so desperately needs. She told me that night that Alison would do great things, and possibly become a doctor. So when I pilfered an ad-
vanced copy of Wall’s new book; “Black Lives, White Supremacy and the American Fiction�, my plan was to peruse every page. And in just the manner I knew she would, Brenda Wall approached this very scholarly work in her strength. Dr. Wall performed an autopsy of our national police/ community unrest from her perspective as the mother of a Black man and a serious student of Black Revolutionary thought. As a concerned mother, Dr. Wall set out to explain her dismay since Michael Brown was gunned down in Missouri. She takes the reader on a journey from Ferguson to Philando, and from Philando to the five officers who lost their lives tragically in the streets of Downtown Dallas. But in order to console the bulk of her patients, Dr. Wall instinctively tapered this quilt of American hostility with an understanding of the rise of Donald Trump. “Trump can be understood as a metaphor for the contemporary American fiction. The Trump metaphor represents arrogance, aggression, fear, hate and the reckless power of white supremacy, which has always worked toward preserving racial structural inequity. And there is always the com-

ponent of economic impetus: greed.� This literary work also posits a timeline that feeds into the larger narrative. “Hands up, Don’t Shoot� emerged from the November 24, 2014 execution of Mike Brown. By December 3, 2014, “I can’t breathe� became the rhetorical retort of the Black Lives Matter Movement as the tape rolled and we literally watched Eric Garner’s murder. Choked to death over the sale of loose cigarettes, a practice that is conducted illegally in stores and bodegas in poor neighborhoods across
this nation. News of the 47th anniversary of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King was arrested by the circulatory breaking news chyron that announced the police killing of Walter Scott. A week and a day later, Freddie Gray succumbed to the hands of the Baltimore P.D. African-Americans, progressive Whites, the Brown community which sees its share of police misconduct and other sympathizers mobilized in cities all over Maya Angelou’s “Yet to be United States.� “Black Lives, White Supremacy and the American Fiction� places you safely on the couch of Brenda Wall. Her intellectual pedigree as developed by her work at Vassar College, Boston University, George Washington University and as a Fulbright Scholar in Turkey are evident, but not stuffy or overpowering. I bought the book because I am an avid fan and a true believer. She won my confidence years ago when she looked deeply into the psyche of my eightyear-old and gave me parenting tips. Dr. Wall’s' premonition provided a reference for this book. She cited my daughter, Dr. Alison V. Hall as a resource. Dr. Wall is right here with us. Read her.

Martha Rivera Chavis, 53, Wife of NNPA President
Martha Rivera Chavis, the devoted wife of civil rights leader and National Newspaper Publishers Association President and CEO Benjamin F. Chavis Jr., died Thursday in her Montclair, N.J., home. She was 53. “As first lady of the NNPA and as the former first lady of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People from 1993 to 1994, Martha Rivera Chavis was a loving mother and strong advocate for freedom, justice and equality in the United States, Africa and in the Dominican Republic,” Chavis said in a statement released early Thursday. Chavis and his wife met in June 1989 after the civil rights activist had spent time in Angola, where American-backed rebels mined civilian areas. At the time, Angola had one of the highest percentages of individuals with blown-off limbs, a fact that moved both Chavis and his wife.
When Chavis met Martha Rivera, she was 29 and employed translating French to Portuguese for Angola’s United Nations ambassador. They married in September of 1989. One month later, Chavis again visited Angola. After he returned, the couple cared for 10 Angolans, including six with missing limbs, in their Montclair home. “When they went back to Africa, they went back with prosthetics,” Martha Rivera Chavis told The Associated Press in 1993. “That was a wonderful experience.” The Dominican-born Rivera Chavis would later tell reporters that her husband had been “transformed” by his visit to Angola and made a commitment to help Angolans and be more “international-minded,” a cause to which she became just as committed. Messages of condolence should be sent to the NNPA national office, 1816 12th St. NW, Washington, DC, 20009.

EDITORIAL/OPINION
HALL: A Word to the Wise
QUIT PLAYIN’ By Vincent L. Hall
My Mama would often declare; “a word to the wise is sufficient.â€? Now that adage is common enough, but she created her own rejoinder. The amended version went like this; “A word to the wise is sufficient, but if I have to say two‌I’mmo be on yo’ butt!â€? Well earlier, I gave a word to you‌the wise. I warned you that Donald Trump was easing toward a Pan-European Movement. I told you that Brexit, and Putin and the worldwide White Nationalism genres were related. But you think I’m just another crackpot peddling a conspiracy
theory. Donald Trump is on a oneman crusade to restore the “White Man� to what he believes is their rightful place. He follows a credo that armed Hitler and marshaled every xenophobic movement since the beginning of time. Donald Trump believes that God favors White skin and ordained him and his kind to be superior to all other races and creeds. Trump views 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue as Pan-Europeanism’s international headquarters. Don’t get it twisted, when Trump was in Poland he blew that dog whistle as long and as loud as he could. In 1990, Trump’s ex-wife Ivana, told Vanity Fair that he always kept a book on Hitler at his bedside. What’s more, we know he lacks the capacity
to read much more than one book. Ponder these few words from the Poland speech. “Despite every effort to transform you, oppress you, or destroy you, you endured and overcame.  You are the proud nation of Copernicus -- think of that -- (applause) -- Chopin, Saint John Paul II.  Poland is a land of great heroes.  And you are a people who know the true value of what you defend. “The triumph of the Polish spirit over centuries of hardship gives us all hope for a future in which good conquers evil, and peace achieves victory over war.’ So‌Nicholas Copernicus is the infamous mathematician and astronomer credited with placing the sun rather than the earth in the center of the universe. Sounds harm-
less enough but go deeper, because the wannabee Nazis in Trump’s creative core are subterranean and sinister. Citing Copernicus is significant because he was prominently used as an instrument of Nazi propaganda. Listen as an unknown writer regurgitates Professor Volker Remmert’s theories on Nazism in “In the Service of the Reich.� “The focus of this paper is on the historiographical fate of Nicholas Copernicus and Galileo Galilei in Nazi Germany. Both played interesting roles in Nazi propaganda and the legitimization of Nazi political goals. In the “Third Reich,� efforts to claim Copernicus as a German astronomer were closely linked to revisionist policies in Eastern Europe culminating in the war-time expansion. The example of Galileo’s
condemnation by the Catholic Church in 1633 became a symbol of its unjustified opposition to new “scientific� results, namely Nazi racial theory. After Catholic opposition against Nazi racial theory had reached a peak in 1937, the Galileo affair was turned into an instrument of Nazi propaganda against the Catholic Church.� The whole “Make America Great Again� branding is covert, double-speak, revisionist, bullshit. Trump speaks in code to racists universally as he enables the “Crackerocracy� right here in “your neck of the woods.� (Thanks Dr. Michael Eric Dyson) I’ve never been given to Republicanism, but I appreciated their fiscal arguments. I find the whole Christian Conservative movement to be the most two-faced brand
of hypocrisy in American history. But the plot to restore the suddenly “oppressed White man� back to his pre-slavery, pre-Apartheid, pre-colonial state is evil. Donald Trump has set the world on a path of death, destruction and delusion. A word to the wise is sufficient, but only if you’re shrewd enough to listen. Vincent L. Hall is an author, activist and award-winning journalist.
MALVEAUX: Lessons and Blessings
Hugh Price was the seventh leader (from 1994 through 2002) of the National Urban
THE LAST WORD By Dr. Julianne Malveaux League, the civil rights organization founded in 1910 to help African American migrants assimilate into urban life, to provide opportunities for urban migrants, and to eliminate segregation in our nation. Price, an attorney, activist, writer, and foundation executive was well-suited for that work, for which he may be best known, but Urban League work is only part of his legacy. Price is scheduled to share his reflective autobiography This African American Life (Blair, 2017) during the National Urban League convention that begins July 26 in St. Louis. I’m sure that many of his colleagues will enjoy his reflections, much as I did when I read his book. In his inspirational book, Price weaves his thoughts about public policy with an accounting of his amazing life. His is a life that he might
not have imagined -- he came of age at a time when African Americans had access to new possibilities after rigid educational and occupational segregation. So what young man, a product of segregation, would have imagined himself navigating influential and integrated waters, and making a profound difference. Throughout this book, you get a sense that Hugh Price, though well grounded, is also amazed at the many ways our world has changed. This African American Life reads just like Hugh Price sounds, chock full of self-deprecating humor and tongue-in-cheek reflections. And while Price takes African American life quite seriously, he manages to take himself somewhat less so. Thus, even in his laid-back way, he is able to convey the excitement he feels at certain high points in his life, such as when he visits South Africa, or when he first, as President of the Urban League, gets a multi-car police escort. I am struck both by Price’s humility and by his ability to put himself, and important issues, in context. Hugh Price is the product of “good stock�, middle-class Black Washington, D.C. Reading the first few chapters of
his book is like taking a romp through African American history. Price is the descendent of escaped enslaved people, and it is clear that he inherited enough of their hunger for freedom to make that hunger his own. The inventor, Lewis Latimer, is one of his ancestors, and his pride in his legacy shines thorough in his book. Price is not reticent probing race and skin color conflicts when he references a white relative of Lewis Latimer, or when he talks about tensions in his own family when his darker skinned father, a physician, pursued his lighter-skinner mother. Skin color discrimination is still, unfortunately, alive and well; few are as forthright in dealing with it as Hugh Price. He deals with it, as he does with just about everything else, with a sage equanimity. It is clear that he is annoyed by the ignorance of skin color discrimination, but he is not so annoyed as to produce a tirade about it. Instead, it is simply a factor to reflect on in “this African American life�. Hugh Price’s book is extremely thoughtful and transparent. While he expresses extreme joy in the high points of his life, for example joining the Urban League
Hugh Price
as CEO, his tone is not much different as when he experiences disappointment at missed opportunities. The African American community has gained when Hugh Price felt he “lost�, and agrees with his daughter Traer, when she notes that missed opportunities opened doors to new possibilities. Thus, it is engaging to read through his path as youth mentor, New Haven community leader, mayoral appointee, New York Times editorial writer, public television leader, foundation executive, then President and CEO of the National Urban League. In his “back nine� he has been a professor and thought
leader, connected with prestigious organizations like Princeton University and the Brookings Institution. Candid about the ways he lobbied for and secured some of the positions he attained, as well as the ways that some opportunities “fell in his lap�; his transparent revelations should be “must� reading for young people with aspirations. Without lecturing, Hugh Price makes powerful statements about the importance of relationships. Hugh Price has been passionate, improving possibilities for young people through his career. As a young law student and paid mentor to New Haven youth, he learned the importance of consistency. There is no place, he learned, for drive-by mentoring that takes place only at a mentor’s convenience. This is a lesson for the present; so many well-intentioned helpers feel that they can alter the course of a life with well-meaning, but tenuous engagement. Price used his early lessons to develop programs to combat Black youth unemployment, both through the Rockefeller Foundation and through the military. His commitment to youth continued in his Urban League years with
his work on quality education and the achievement gap. He describes his work as “Spreading the Gospel of Achievement� in a chapter of his book; it is a gospel he continues to spread. While I enjoy Price’s policy conversations, I equally enjoy the way he recounts his love of family, and the early struggles that he and wife Marilyn faced as they raised their family while he completed law school. Equally enjoyable is his conversation about baseball, a sport he is passionate about. Reading this book made me want to engage Hugh Price is a rambling interview that dug even deeper into his work than the book does. It makes me want to further explore his love for baseball and the ways baseball metaphors reflect contemporary life. For sure, Price hit a home run with this book, but it makes me want to engage him in another inning, another game, and more reflections from this phenomenal man!

LEE: Film offers wisdom on how to ‘fireproof’ marriages By Donald Lee The movie “Fireproof,� starring Kirk Cameron, opens with the scene that shows Cameron’s character, Fire Capt. Caleb Holt, reprimanding a subordinate after they return from fighting a fire. “Eric, he’s got a right to be upset with you,� the captain says immediately after another fireman rebukes that subordinate, Eric Harmon (Jason McLeod). “You left him in a dangerous spot and tried to be a hero.� “But Captain,� Eric responds, “I thought I heard someone calling for help.� “It was coming from outside the building,� the captain interjects. “But it was so dark, I mean I couldn’t see anything,� Eric tries to explain. “That’s why you stay with your partner,� the captain says. “He had no choice but to assume that something happened to you and you needed his help. You never leave your partner — especially in
a fire. “You give him some time and then give him an apology,� he says. “And make it sin-
cere.� “Yes, Sir,� Eric responds. Capt. Holt pats Eric on the back and then walks off. While the captain approaches his job of putting out literal fires with great passion and wisdom, the film is about how he lacks that same zeal and is ignorant when it comes to extinguishing the metaphoric fires that threaten his marriage. This movie is an accurate

depiction of so many real-life marriages. Husbands and wives, in many marital relationships, put their hearts and souls into their careers or rendering aid to others while failing to protect their own “partners� in marriage. For reasons such as this, it is important that couples, in general, seek counseling, and Christian couples, particularly, get that counseling from their pastor. It would also be a great idea to get the movie “Fireproof�. It offers sound advice on the how-to part of fireproofing your marriage. One of the things that counseling does for a marriage, especially one that is on the brink of a divorce, is help either side of an argument look at issues from the perspective of the other. When it’s just the spouses dealing with each other one on one, it can be easy for legitimate concerns to be challenged. But when a counselor is involved, those same concerns get the necessary at-

Crack Addict-TurnedInspirational Speaker brings message Tonier “Neen” Cain, a woman once so addicted to drugs she was arrested 83 times, prostituted herself for drugs, and slept under a bridge for years, will bring a message of hope to Dallas and Frisco as part of her Healing Neen Deliverance Tour, one woman’s powerful testimony on the role faith plays in overcoming obstacles. The trauma expert and internationally recognized speaker will visit New Life Community Church in Frisco on Friday July 21 and Ideal Family Church in Dallas on Saturday July 22. Both events are free and open to the public. According to Cain, “I’ve been blessed enough travel to every state including Alaska to share my story and train professionals in jails and prisons, the judicial system, and treatment facilities on the importance of trauma-informed care.” The author of “Healing Neen” continues, “This tour is my opportunity to connect with people like me who have endured trauma. I want to share my story with those who themselves have suffered or are connected to someone who has experienced child abuse, molestation, rape, incarceration and other issues and let them know that where there is breath, there is hope and God plays an important role in the healing process.” The Frisco event will feature a performance by Inspirational singer and Stellar Award nominee, Doreen Vail.

She turned to prostitution to pay for drugs, lost custody of four children, and, when she wasn’t locked up, she slept under a bridge. Today, in addition to encouraging inmates across the country, the nationally recognized inspirational speaker has testified before Congress, lectured at Yale University and even delivered a speech at the United Nations. Former Gov. Charlie Crist recognized Cain for her contributions to transforming the way the entire FL Department of Juvenile Justice serves youth. Cain’s poignant memoir, “Healing Neen,” and feature-length documentary of the same name, exposes her traumatic childhood filled with abuse, rape and neglect, and is also a testament to her amazing resilience.

Voter Suppression
By Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson
Voter suppression is a serious issue that threatens the integrity of our elections. As a community, we should be deeply involved in combating voter suppression and expanding access to the polls for all Americans – particularly in the wake of the destructive ruling in Shelby County v. Holder. As a Vice Chair of the Congressional Voting Rights Caucus and a member of the community that has fought against voter suppression, I remain gravely concerned with voter suppression in our country. As we all know, Texas has been wrestling with its own voter suppression laws for many years. In fact, voter discrimination and the suppression of minority voices is no new phenomenon in Texas. District maps drawn in 2011 were found by the courts to be intentionally discriminatory against minorities. In order to avoid litigation, the Texas State Legislature then hastily adopted an interim map in 2013 with the supposed intention of addressing further concerns regarding discrimination. This past week, judges from the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas and the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals heard closing arguments from plaintiffs and the State of Texas in the latest redistricting trial. So far, it appears that there is no evidence to suggest that the 2013 Legislature made any attempt to address the previously outlined concerns with the congressional districts. However, the court has not issued a final ruling. When fellow Texan and former President Lyndon Baines Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act of 1965 into law, our country was in the midst of wrestling with literacy tests, the purging of voter rolls, and intimidation by those who wished to keep minorities and other vulnerable members of the population from casting their ballots at the polls. It was a difficult time in our nation’s history, but one that we seemingly overcame together through the broad recognition that all Americans should have equal access to the polls. After just a short period, the positive effects of the Voting Rights Act (VRA) grew quickly apparent but has been met with fierce opposition in the decades to follow. Fifty years later, we are once again faced with the same fight under a different, more sinister guise. In June of 2013, the United States Supreme Court voted in Shelby County v. Holder to invalidate Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act. Section 4

of the VRA determined which states or localities required that changes to their voting laws be cleared by the U.S. Department of Justice or in federal court. Until the formula under Section 4 is redefined in a way that can pass muster in the Supreme Court, a key enforcement tool of the Voting Rights Act remains ineffectual. Fast forward to 2017, President Trump issued an executive order that would create an “election integrity” commission. The stated purpose of this commission was to combat voter fraud, but we know the true meaning behind an executive order of this nature. It is to repeat the egregious mistakes of our past and once again prevent legitimate voters from exercising their constitutional rights to vote. After passage of the VRA, nearly 1 million black voters registered to vote within just four years, including over fifty percent of the black voting age population in every southern state. We witnessed the number of black elected officials more than double in the South, increasing from 72 to 159, following the 1966 elections. By the mid-1980s, there were more African Americans in public office across the South than throughout the rest of the nation combined. Reviewing the great number of accomplishments made under the VRA, I find it difficult to reconcile that we need an election fraud commission or investigations into such actions when there are more cases of voter intimidation and limitations placed on those who seek to be involved in the electoral process. As your representative of District 30 and the state of Texas, it is my duty to address the concerns of countless Americans here in Congress. We must speak out against thinly-veiled commissions meant to suppress the vote. We must bolster the Voting Rights Act to its former power and encourage others to combat voter suppression and protect unfettered access to the ballot. When I say we, I am not limiting and placing the burden to protect voting rights on one group of people because it is simply a matter that impacts everyone in our state and country -- no matter the color of your skin. Unfortunately those in black and brown communities tend to be targeted and are mostly impacted by the injustice when they are not able to participate in our democratic system. However, this does not have to remain. I will continue to be involved in the dialogue between advocacy groups, constituents and elected officials to help find a solution that will diminish voter suppression. If you’d like to learn more about how you can become involved in securing voting protections and access to everyone, please contact my office at 214-922-8885.

Dear Alma, I have a friend who is the ultimate Christian. Since she’s been “saved,” she has been more judgmental of others, as if she doesn’t have a past. Back in the day, she was the one who experimented with drugs, clubs, partying, etc. Now she looks down on others who may be going through the same thing. At times, I hate talking with her. How can I make her see that what she’s doing is no different than what those she is complaining about are doing? Friend Dear Friend, Your question is an interesting one, not because it’s the first time I’ve heard of this happening, but it’s the first time I’ve addressed this topic. My advice column is open and accepting. I can relate to and will discuss anything
— love, hate, sex, work, family, you name it. Religion, however, is one subject that I try to shy away from. My father was a minister for almost 40 years, so I see this question as somewhat of a test. LOL. I’ve prayed and pondered my response, taking into consideration that believers and nonbelievers both read my weekly column. I found myself gravitating to a book my friend Nia loaned me, a book titled Grace Happens Here by Max Lucado. His book details how God’s grace is not purchased or earned by faith acts or good works. Believing in God doesn’t require that we live our lives without making mistakes or wrong decisions. It doesn’t mean we never think, speak or react negatively or inappropriately. Believing in God means that one has accepted Him as savior, our many faults notwithstanding. It means accepting His “grace.” Grace is one of God’s greatest offers and ideas. When we are demonstrating the worst of ourselves, God — with our permission — begins to turn us around. In this transforma-

tion, some folks find it necessary to point out every flaw, negative behavior or bad habit in others. I often wonder why, as humans, we find it easier to correct others than to make corrections within ourselves. But that’s another story for another time. There’s nothing you can say to your friend right now. She has recently been saved, and so are you, so “save” your “oh-no-you-didn’t” comments for another time. Fold and put them away in your “help-me-Lord” drawer. In these early stages of salvation, since your friend is listening only to God, I’d suggest you pray to Him. Pray that God will help her consume the peace and grace that she will read about in her Bible. The scriptures that say we should be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God forgives us. Be the example and offer her the grace that you seek. I have read and believe that we will never be asked to offer anyone more than what God has already poured deep down inside of us. Here’s a reminder of something much easier preached, then lived: When in doubt, discouraged, overwhelmed or simply pissed off, seek first not to offend or correct –but – to be a blessing. Alma
