The Flavor of Health

By Kiplyn Primus Additional reporting by ADW Staff A day full of more than 300 ice cream flavors from local ice cream shops and ways to burn off the calories is precisely the combination the Fulton-DeKalb Hospital Authority was going for when it opted to host the Atlanta Ice Cream Festival for the third year. The Authority’s presence adds sprinkles of health and wellness to the Festival, giving attendees the opportunity to “scream for ice cream” and screen for Diabetes, Hypertension, HIV and walk to fight Cancer — a primary focus for the second consecutive year. In 2016, the cancer walk honored survivor Leah Dortch, a mother of two fighting both liver and bile duct cancer.

Beverly Burks, director of Community Engagement for the Fulton-DeKalb Hospital Authority explains that the Health and Wellness Pavilion allows the Authority to engage with the community and offer preventive health information in a friendly environment — true to its mission of servicing residents of Fulton and DeKalb Counties for over 72 years, dating back to World War II. The FDHA provides grants to community-based organizations, hosting or fortifying community events with health awareness pavilions and resources, and advocating for responsive healthcare policy that works to meet the healthcare needs of the residents of Fulton and DeKalb counties and provide quality health care and a focus on life altering habits that can affect lifespan. To that end, this year, the FDHA’s “Stress Team” will interact with participants sharing information and tools on how to recognize and relieve stress, working to provide

health education and preventive health to all members of the community.

Its participation in the Festival meets its target population exactly where they are.

“By joining forces with the Atlanta Ice Cream Festival we hope to provide support to community members who may not seek preventive care in a traditional environment,” explains Burks. The conjoined effort also places the Authority in a position to raise awareness that it champions on its other platforms. For example, the Festival falls squarely in Minority Mental Health Awareness Month. According to the Authority, Mental health illnesses affect one in five adults and one in 10 children in America. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration states mental illness is a leading cause of disability, yet nearly two-thirds of people with a diagnosable mental illness do not seek treatment, and racial and ethnic groups in the United States are even less likely to get help, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

The awareness, paired with a helping of ice cream has proven to be an effective formula.

Since 1984, July has been designated National Ice Cream month, with National Ice Cream Day taking place the 3rd Sunday in July.

Kevin James, founder of the festival, explains that he created the Atlanta Ice Cream Festival to be a family celebration of fun with plenty of health and wellness engagement activities, fitness routines, food and non-food vendors, live local musical entertainment and a morning 5K Fight Cancer Walk. There are games for children and adults including the popular ice cream eating contest where participants finish off a bowl of ice cream without using their hands. James explains that entrance to the festi-

val remains free so that community members can bring the entire family. America’s favorite dessert comes with a health helping of tips on maintaining a well-balanced lifestyle all year long.

The history of ice cream is convoluted and filled with myths, from Marco Polo to Catherine de Medici. Most scholars credit the Tang Dynasty for the first appearance of “a frozen milk-like confection.”

The early Arab word “sharabt” or sherbet refers to a frozen drink flavored with cherry, pomegranate, or quince. Antonio Latini (1642-1692) a worker for the Spanish Viceroy in Naples, Italy is given credit for being the first to write down a recipe for “sorbetto.” Furthermore, he is responsible for adding a “milk base” to sorbet. Food historians consider this the first ice cream.

“We know that Alexander the Great enjoyed snow and ice flavored with honey and nectar. Biblical references also show that King Solomon was fond of iced drinks during harvesting. During the Roman Empire, Nero Claudius Caesar (A.D. 54-86) frequently sent runners into the mountains for snow, which was then flavored with fruits and juices,” according to the International Dairy Foods Association.

In the United States, Augustus Jackson an African-American chef who worked in the White House in the 1820s is known as the “Father of Ice Cream.”

He is sometimes mistakenly credited with inventing ice cream, while he didn’t invent the treat, he did make it better. His experiments with eggless ice cream, ice cream storage and new flavors made him the wealthiest African-American in Philadelphia during his lifetime.

The Atlanta Ice Cream Festival is a true celebration of confection — and community. “Our festival has every type of ice cream available including Vegan ice cream, Italian gelato, Sorbet, Dairy-free ice cream and good old fashion vanilla,” said James.

The dessert-focused festival is a time for indulgence and also a time for testing your glucose, blood pressure and cholesterol.

“We bring health to a family fun day,” said Burks, and above all, the age old adage: “Everything in moderation.”

The 7th annual Atlanta Ice Cream Festival will take place at Piedmont Park on Saturday, July 22 from 11a.m. - 6 p.m. .

MARTA ridership boost short-lived Black ministers rally on Capitol Hill for fair equitable budget from congress after restoration of I-85 bridge

By ADW Staff When the I-85 Bridge was out of commission for six weeks, MARTA proponents hoped the catastrophe would mark a permanent collective shift toward public transit. The closure of one of Atlanta’s most important vehicular arteries was a prime opportunity to introduce those accustomed to commuting by car to alternative forms of transit — and the initial spike in ridership by 25 percent looked promising.

Most rail stations saw increases in weekly ridership, with one DeKalb County station seeing the biggest uptick, according to an Atlanta Regional Commission report.

The Brookhaven station’s numbers ballooned by nearly 67 percent, far above the overall 11.5 percent increase at all stations, the ARC found.

Second was the Dome/GWCC/Philips Arena/CNN Center station, with almost 57 percent. Next was Sandy Springs at 43 percent.

The analysis compared ridership rates from March 24-31, the day after the collapse, to March 31-April 29.

All but six stations saw an increase in ridership in that time, though some saw only small increases, the ARC found.

Since the road reopened in May, however, the majority of commuters have returned to their old ways, with ridership falling to pre-collapse levels.

While the quick repair of the road was cheered on by the droves of mostly suburban commuters who were impacted by the closure, the relatively short outage meant that alternatives such as telecommuting and flex hours were viable tactics to survive the six-week outage in the interim..

Factors for the abandonment of public transit since the reopening probably have a lot to do with the short duration of the closure, and the fact that MARTA simply doesn’t serve many areas beyond the urban core. It will take more than a temporary transportation meltdown to get Atlantans on MARTA. Increased reliability, frequency, and destinations served will be key in convincing metro residents to get on board.

By ADW Staff Several ministers were arrested in the Russell Rotunda on Capitol Hill Tuesday, including Rev. Raphael Warnock of the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church.

The group of clergy members rallied through songs and prayer while demanding fair healthcare for all Americans when they were arrested by U.S. Capitol Police. They were charged with crowding, obstruction and incommoding.

Warnock was held about 3 hours then released around 5pm after paying a fine.

“As a pastor, I believe that the national budget is not just a fiscal document, but a moral document. It reflects what we believe and who we are for one another,” Warnock said. “And if this mean-spirited budget were an EKG, it would indicate that America has a heart condition. The government is taking student aid, job training and medicine from those who need it most in order to give a tax cut to those who need it least.

We came to Washington as voices of healing and justice. America is better than this. That’s our message. And when I consider those who will suffer, my getting arrested is a small price to pay.”

The group wants Congress to reject what

Photo courtesy of Rev. Steven Martin National Coalition of Churches it calls “the immoral budget proposed by the Trump Administration and the equally unjust health care bill” that the Senate may have a procedural vote on in the coming weeks. A vote initially scheduled for Tuesday was postponed.

Faith leaders planned to address how the proposed budget will negatively impact African-American families and communities, including deep cuts to education, Medicaid, civil rights, community development block grants and housing vouchers. The budget will also likely create an environment for predatory lending to increase.

Some of the clergy assembled following scheduled meetings with lawmakers.

Real Times Media, Atlanta Tribune toast to a new era in publishing at The Gathering Spot

By ADW Staff Real Times Media launched its print, digital and multimedia expansion into the Atlanta market by officially adding Atlanta Tribune: The Magazine to its portfolio of iconic brands at an invite-only VIP reception on July 13th, hosted by The Gathering Spot and soundtracked by Ollie Patterson.

The acquisition, completed earlier this year, rounds out Real Times Media’s existing Atlanta platforms which include Atlanta Daily World and Who’s Who In Black Atlanta; and gives Real Times Media the infrastructure to re-energize and re-engage Atlanta’s business and influencer communities.

“We are going to be digging deeper into this community and we wanted you to come here tonight to share this experience with us. You’re the kind of people we want to connect with,” said RTM CEO Hiram Jackson to the more than 100 guests in attendance who represented a cross-section of Atlanta’s influencers from City Hall to the C-Suite including Fulton Atlanta City Council President Ceasar Mitchell; Fulton County Commissioner Marvin Arrington Jr.; H. Jerome Russell, of H.J. Russell and Company; Invest Atlanta Chief Operating Officer Keith Millner, CBS News anchors Sharon Reed and Aiyana Crystal, Municipal Court Judge Terrinee Gundy and representatives from Kenny Leon’s True Colors Theatre and the National Black MBA Association of Atlanta.

“I’ve been doing business in Atlanta for 25 years and when RTM had the opportunity to acquire and work with Atlanta Tribune, I thought it was an opportunity that we couldn’t pass up. [Atlanta Tribune Publisher] Pat Lottier and I talked about how we can take it to another level and acquiring Atlanta Tribune was just a natural next step for us,” Jackson continued, citing the magazine’s 31-year connection to the city’s business and influencer communities and RTM’s commitment to reaching every corner of Atlanta with the embrace of new digital technology platforms.

“The power of the partnership between Real Times Media and Atlanta Tribune: The Magazine is very strong,” asserted Councilman Mitchell, who is also running for mayor of Atlanta. “You have RTM which has national reach, national scope and national relevance, partnering with a very strong Atlanta magazine with an incredible team and an incredible focus on business and success in the African American community. And when you put those two things together -national reach and relevant substance about our community — I think you can create power and excitement that’s relevant to folks all over the country, and that’s something that is not bound by race or community.”

“It’s the best of both worlds,” said Charmaine Ward, direc-

tor of Corporate Relations for Georgia Power, also lauding the joint media industry tour de force of Jackson and Lottier.

In addition to its Atlanta arm, Detroit-based Real Times Media is parent company to the nation’s largest African American-owned newspaper and digital media operation, including the Chicago Defender, the Michigan Chronicle, and the New Pittsburgh Courier. Beyond its journalistic publications, Real Times Media offers custom programming and publishing in 20 markets across the United States through its Who’s Who brand, producing more than 75 events annually.

Atlanta Tribune represents a connection to the community.

“Atlanta Tribune and Atlanta Daily World have a long history of service in the African-American community,” said Commissioner Arrington. “And so I’m happy to celebrate that legacy of history but also happy to look forward to the partnership with Real Times Media and the national connection which means more resources and more access to the community.”

Jackson concurs.

“I did a radio interview and they asked me ‘why are you the only person in America buying print brands?’ and I said the Atlanta Tribune is not just a print brand,” he shared. “We are always looking for opportunities to celebrate African American achievement and the Atlanta Tribune gets us the legs that we need in this community.”

Real Times Media will gather in Atlanta three more times this summer; first at the Marriott Marquis Atlanta to unveil the 17th edition of Who’s Who In Black Atlanta on July 28th, followed by the Salute to Minority Business Owners on August 8th and the Moving Your Business Forward Conference at The Home Depot corporate headquarters on August 29th.

Hot summer, healthy skin Expert dermatologist tips to glow this season

By Dr. Fran Cook-Bolden Summertime is all about enjoying beautiful weather and showing off some skin, but it’s also essential to protect our skin’s barrier at all stages in life. Vaseline Dermatologist Partner Dr. Fran Cook-Bolden shares key skin care and beauty tips to ensure you are looking your best, while maintaining healthy and luminous skin. Women of color oftentimes have additional concerns when it comes to best skin care practices; Dr. Cook-Bolden offers useful advice for keeping your skin looking radiant this summer.

Ceasar Mitchell and Pat Lottier

Don’t fall for the “melanin myth” Did you know most persons with skin of color have an average inherent SPF of 13.4? This is close to the past recommended SPF for everyone of 15, but current recommendations are at least an SPF of 30. Skin of color is very reactive to sun and can produce unwanted and uneven pigmentation.

The use of sunscreen is the first and one of the most important steps in addressing uneven pigmentation all year round and especially in the summer. While the melanin pigment does

offer some photo protection, ultraviolet rays still have the potential to cause sunburn, damage skin and lead to often-undiagnosed skin cancers.

Clog-free pores for the summer Make-up and other debris from the day can build up and clog pores, and worsen acne for those who are prone. Washing your face morning and night is very important provides a form of gentle exfoliation of the face to remove dead skin cells that may naturally build up (this buildup can cause the skin to look dry and lose its natural glow). A gentle cleansing can exfoliate these cells – and always be sure to follow this up with a light moisturizer and sunscreen.

Vitamin rich foods for radiant skin This season, you’ll want to snack on mandarins, tangerines and oranges – they are rich in Vitamin C which remains a key antioxidant to tackle those free oxygen radicals that wreak havoc on our skin and bodies. If you’re looking to improve

the quality of your skin, eat foods high in in Omega-3 such as salmon, nut butters, and flaxseed oil.

Nourish your skin’s barrier... all year-round Maintaining a healthy and hydrated skin barrier is important all year-round, including in the summer. Sun exposure can leave the skin dehydrated, feeling sensitive and even inflamed and often cause uneven skin tone in skin of color as it stimulates the skin’s cells to produce more melanin.

Pro practices for hair removal Be mindful of the lifespan of your razor blades. Dull or bacteria-ridden blades can lead to patches of tiny red spots.

To prevent this don’t keep your razor in the shower and remember to throw out the blade after about 5 shaves. Buy a fragrance free cleanser or unscented shaving cream or gel for sensitive skin. If you prefer waxing, always remember that in skin of color, the inflammatory response associated with waxing can lead to unwanted pigmentation which can be long lasting.

Blue Cross, other insurers seeking big premium hikes

Georgia’s largest health insurer is requesting an average premium increase of 40 percent for individual coverage in the Affordable Care Act insurance exchange next year.

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Georgia is the only health insurer scheduled to deliver a product in all 159 Georgia counties in the exchanges, which are designed to offer coverage to people who don’t get job-based or government health plans.

The insurance exchanges have been buffeted by uncertainty over their future. The ACA repeal plans of Republicans have created doubt over the marketplaces’ future.

And the White House has not committed to funding the subsidies that insurers have received to lower out-of-pocket costs of consumers.

Three other insurers are proposing to offer individual coverage in the Georgia exchange — and each is asking for a double-digit rate hike. Ambetter of Peach State is seeking an average 12.4 percent increase, with a customer base in metro Atlanta and other regions of the state, including the Savannah area. Alliant is asking for a premium hike of 18.6 percent. It serves consumers in the northern counties of Georgia.

Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of Georgia, focusing on the metro Atlanta area, is seeking a 25 percent average hike.

The increases still must be approved by state Insurance Commissioner Ralph Hudgens as well as federal officials. And the rates can be altered up till the time of approval.

A spokesman for the insurance department, Glenn Allen, said last week, as the rates were publicly released, that Hudgens has to approve the proposed premiums by August 16.

The Blue Cross rate increases in Georgia will range from more than 25 percent to 55.7 percent. The company, in its filing,

noted the uncertainty over the insurer subsidies to lower patients’ out-of-pocket costs.

It covers more than 200,000 Georgians in this year’s exchange. Blue Cross said its filing 2018 rates “with the assumption that the …subsidies will be funded throughout the entire 2018 calendar year.”

“However, without certainty of this funding by early June of this year, we will need to evaluate making appropriate adjustments to our filings,’’ the company said.

“Such adjustments could include: reducing service area participation, requesting additional rate increases, eliminating certain product offerings or exiting certain individual ACA-compliant markets altogether.”

A lack of subsidies funding, the company said, “introduces a level of volatility which compromises the ability to set rates responsibly.”

Blue Cross also cited increased provider costs and higher patient use of medical services for its proposed rate hikes.

Cindy Zeldin of consumer group Georgians for a Healthy Future, which supports the Affordable Care Act, said Thursday that the rate increases reflect the uncertainty over the exchanges’ future. That instability, she added, is driven by the subsidies issue and the Republican health care legislation pending in Congress. Zeldin also cited the White House signaling that it may not enforce the tax penalty for people who don’t sign up for coverage under the current ACA individual mandate.

“It’s a very unclear picture where consumers are stuck in the middle, with nothing to hold on to,’’ Zeldin said. “The entire landscape could shift under their feet.’’

More than 490,000 Georgians signed up for exchange coverage this year, federal officials reported in February, a 16 percent drop from the 587,845 from the previous year.

Warning Signs of a Heart Attack

By Glenn Ellis Predicting a heart attack before it happens can be difficult. Almost two-thirds of women who die suddenly of coronary heart disease have no previous symptoms, according to the CDC. A substantial number of patients will have some symptoms that, had they paid attention to them or sought an outpatient evaluation, they might have had a different outcome.

A heart attack can occur when the flow of blood and oxygen to a section of the heart becomes blocked. The heart muscle begins to die from the lack of oxygen. If the blood flow isn’t quickly restored, that area of the heart can die. If medical intervention does not immediately occur, the entire heart can die, leading, of course, to death.

One of the first myths that must be addressed is that women are more likely to have a heart attack than men. Even though women may experience some different heart attack symptoms than men, chest pain is still the No. 1 warning sign for both sexes. It’s important to recognize, that when it comes to heart attacks, we’re way more alike than we are different.

The main symptom for men and women is some type of chest discomfort, pain, pressure, burning. About 90 percent-plus of men and women have that, if asked. The pain could be sharp, dull or the sensation that an elephant is sitting on your chest.

Many people are familiar with the “Hollywood heart attack,” where a middle-aged man clutches his chest and falls over dead.

In reality, symptoms can come and go.

Some people who simply report not feeling well or feeling fatigued go on to have a heart attack hours later. Sometimes, the chest pain is there, but the nausea is much more prominent so people may mistake the symptoms for the flu.

According to medical experts, heart disease is the No. 1 killer for all Americans, but the risk is even higher for African-Americans. How can you tell what’s really going on?

The key is to know your risk factors. If you’re generally healthy and you wake up with what you think is the flu, you probably have the flu. But if you’re obese, sedentary, have high blood pressure and a family history of heart disease, you have to take your symptoms more seriously.

Here are some warning signs to watch for if you are concerned about the possibility of having a heart attack.

Extreme fatigue - One early sign of a heart attack is extreme fatigue. Of course, fatigue is a normal feeling after engaging in physical activities or experiencing a long day. However, if you are constantly feeling fatigued and tired, you may need to schedule a check-up with your doctor to monitor the health of your heart It is not natural to get enough sleep, eat well, and not exhaust yourself physically, but still feel exhausted.

Sleep disturbance - Another warning sign of a heart attack is a disturbance in your sleep habits. Your subconscious mind may be telling you that something is wrong.

You may wake frequently, need to use the

bathroom frequently during the night, or experience extreme thirst during the night. If you do not have a logical explanation for these sleep disturbances, see your doctor.

Shortness of breath - Experiencing shortness of breath can be a key warning sign that you are having heart issues. When your heart does not get enough oxygen, you can feel short of breath. Indigestion Another early warning sign of a heart attack is indigestion.

It is not normal to always have a growling stomach. However, certain spicy and irritating foods can normally cause indigestion.

Increased anxiety - See your physician if you experienced increased levels of anxiety that do not have a ready explanation.

Weak or heavy arms When your heart does not receive sufficient oxygen to function, it can send impulses to you spine. When this happens, the nerves that are interconnected between your heart, spine, and arms send impulses that cause pain in your arms. If you experience numbness in your arm, you may be having a heart attack.

If anything seems strange; if in your gut, you feel like something is not right; if you feel some sense of doom; if you feel like you’ve had a sense of indigestion or chest discomfort, trouble breathing or being lightheaded and it’s not normal for you, it’s persisting, it’s a little out of character … go see your doctor. Don’t wait to get help if you experience any of these heart attack warning signs. Although some heart attacks are sudden and intense, most start slowly, with mild pain or discomfort. Pay attention to your body — and call 911; it’s almost always the fastest way to get lifesaving treatment.

Remember, I’m not a doctor. I just sound like one. Take good care of yourself and live the best life possible!

WECTU, Ltd. launches a free national eldercare website with a twist Atlanta-based WECTU, Ltd. has launched an eldercare website serving senior citizens and their family caregivers.

Caregivers can search this website to view blogs, podcasts and FAQ’s covering health care, living arrangements, legal, financial, tax and intrafamily issues that apply to their specific eldercare situation. Users can also search WECTU.com’s national service database to find providers close to them or to find providers who make in-home visits, thereby eliminating the difficulty of transporting elders to a distant office for an appointment — creating a one-stop eldercare solution.

WECTU.com’s service provider database covers the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico, with more than 700,000 vetted service providers ranging from nursing homes, CPA’s, home healthcare agencies, geriatric care managers and attorneys, to clergy, hair stylists, plumbers, pet sitters and lawn care specialists. In total, the database contains over 250 different categories of service providers.

Website users can access content covering the topics that family caregivers must address when helping their aging loved ones find answers to their questions, save their family money using WECTU’s financial advice, solve family discord issues and help transition their parents from their current home to better living situations.

“As one who deals with complex medical issues, I am often involved with families who are confronted with both longterm care, palliative and hospice care issues,” said Dr. Gerald Spivak, MD. “The WECTU website, which contains information and assistance on a single easily navigable website, is a highly useful resource for families dealing with these types of issues. I feel comfortable referring my patients to WECTU. com.”

Dorothy Schmitt, CEO of the Investment Resource Group and a financial planner dealing with senior citizens, added, “Over the past 35 years, I have been consulting with families and developing their financial plans. One of the most difficult problem that my clients deal with is long-term care issues. For years, we have needed a single resource where seniors and their families can turn to get both information and a comprehensive list of long-term care service providers. The WECTU website is just such a resource. It is a godsend.”

ACLU of Georgia sues Fulton County over vote to close polling places

Board of Elections failed to provide adequate public notice before approving polling place changes and closures The American Civil Liberties Union of Georgia sued the Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections Tuesday for violating state law when it approved a set of polling place closures and changes without giving adequate notice to the public.

Georgia law requires election officials to publish proposed polling place changes for at least 14 consecutive days before approving them. Last week, the Board voted to close or move several polling places in predominantly Black neighborhoods and published the proposed changes just 6 days in advance.

The lawsuit asks the court to require the Board to reconsider the changes after following the public notice requirements in state law.

“Sudden and secretive polling place closures are no way to run a democracy,” said Andrea Young, ACLU of Georgia executive director. “This law exists to protect voters, but the Board went around it – changing the polling places of thousands of Black voters months before a major mayoral election. Election officials across Georgia should consider themselves on notice: if they attempt to confuse voters, skirt the law or restrict access to the polls, we will see them in court.”

“Instead of being open and transparent about these proposed changes, the Board relied on secret maps and kept people in the dark,” Sean J. Young, ACLU of Georgia legal director, said. “Voters deserve better. The Board needs to follow the law and reconsider these changes in the light of day.”

Atlanta Ronald McDonald House Charities awards $275,000 in college scholarships to 60 local students

Artist collective to Atlanta radio stations: stop playing R. Kelly music The Creative Currents Artist Collaborative in Atlanta recently started a petition to protest R. Kelly’s airtime on Atlanta radio stations. “It’s time we take a collective stand against R. Kelly’s serial sexual, mental and physical abuse of young African-American women,” the petition stated. “His flagrant disregard for our sisters has been ignored for far too long.

Enough is enough. If the law won’t stop it, it’s time that we take a stand. We have failed our sisters and our community by allowing this monster to continue to prosper, continue to tour, continue to be played at our family reunions and weddings, and continue to get airtime on Atlanta radio.”

The petition cited Atlanta’s history of child sex trafficking, noting that the city was named as one of 14 U.S. cities with the highest rate of children used in prostitution by the FBI. “In Georgia, 12,400 men purchase sex with young women in any given month. Approximately 100 adolescent females are sexually exploited each night in Georgia. In Georgia, adolescent females controlled by the child sex trafficking trade are sexually exploited by an adult male on an average of three times per night.”

The collective considers the latest allegations against R.

Kelly’s “sex cult” where women who live with Kelly are allegedly being held against their will, text book examples of sex trafficking.

R. Kelly last performed at the Fox Theatre on December 27, 2016, in front of 3,141 fans (3,951 tickets were allotted). The show, which was promoted by Los Angeles-based AEG Live, had gross sales of more than $240,000, according to data compiled by Billboard. The show grossed more than $500,000 less than his last Atlanta performance in June of 2016 at Philips Arena in front of 10,099 fans.

The singer-songwriter and record producer is slated to perform late August at the Wolf Creek Amphitheater.

Viacom announces multi-year content partnership with Tyler Perry Exclusive agreement encompasses TV, film and short-form video Viacom Inc. announced it has entered into a comprehensive, multi-year content partnership with Atlanta-based writer, director, producer, actor and playwright Tyler Perry, encompassing television, film and short-form video.

Under the terms of the agreement, Perry will produce approximately 90 episodes annually of original drama and comedy series for BET and other Viacom networks, and Viacom will have exclusive licensing rights on this programming. In addition, Viacom will have exclusive distribution rights to Perry’s short-form video content, and Paramount Pictures will have exclusive “first look” rights on any new feature film concepts created by Perry.

The film agreement is effective immediately, with the partnership on Perry’s TV and short-form video content to go into effect in May 2019, following the expiration of Perry’s exclusive agreement with OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network.

Viacom’s agreement will extend through 2024.

Bob Bakish, President and Chief Executive Officer of Viacom, said, “[The] announcement represents an important step forward as Viacom continues to make swift progress against our new strategic plan. By prioritizing efforts to work with the best, most versatile talent in the entertainment industry, we are better positioned to deliver mustwatch content across our brands and platforms. Tyler is a prolific creative force, and I’m excited that this collaboration will bring his signature humor and powerful stor ytelling to Viacom’s au d i e n c e s while further ce-

menting BET’s position as the leading home for bold, relevant African-American programming and scripted content.”

“I am delighted that we are deepening our longstanding relationship with Tyler,” said Debra L. Lee, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of BET Networks. “BET co-funded Tyler’s very first feature film, we’ve aired his movies and many of his series with great success on our networks, and we’ve honored his tremendous talent with our signature awards. This partnership will allow us to work even more closely with him and bring more of his iconic content to our viewers.”

“Viacom has a rich tradition of reaching my audience through their TV, film and digital platforms and I am excited to partner with them,” said Perry. “I am eager to have one home where I can leverage all of their assets to tell my stories to an even wider audience. I have been very blessed to have worked with the incredible people at Lionsgate and OWN over the last few years and I look forward to continuing my work with them on a non-exclusive basis.”

Perry is the creative mind behind seven television series and 16 feature films in addition to 20 plays and a best-selling book. His first television series, “Tyler Perry’s House of Payne” set then-ratings records for a basic cable sitcom when it debuted and was followed up by the highly successful “Meet the Browns.” Since then he has continued to launch a series of popular programs, including the sitcom “Love Thy Neighbor” and the drama “The Haves and The Have Nots.” His films include many box office hits, including his long-lasting “Madea” franchise.

GUEST COMMENTARY

GUEST COMMENTARY

by Glenn Ellis

by Santura Pegram

Environmental Racism Exists Environmental racism is the disproportionate impact of environmental hazards on people of color. The lead poisoning of children in Flint is only the latest example of environmental racism in the United States.

Unfortunately, Flint’s water scandal is a symptom of a much larger disease. The activist organization, Greenaction, has stated that Environmental Racism refers to the institutional rules, regulations, policies or government and/or corporate decisions that deliberately target certain communities for locally undesirable land uses and lax enforcement of zoning and environmental laws, resulting in communities being disproportionately exposed to toxic and hazardous waste based upon race. Environmental racism is caused by several factors, including intentional neglect, the alleged need for a receptacle for pollutants in urban areas, and a lack of institutional power and low land values of people of color.

Research has shown a higher incidence of emphysema, chronic bronchitis and other pulmonary diseases in these communities.

Some link the asthma epidemic among African Americans to industrial toxins wafting over poor neighborhoods. Asthma affects twice as many black children as white, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control, and its rate among African-American kids doubled from 2001 to 2009.

Research by the Federal Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry has shown that lead from plumbing, house paints and contaminated soils reaches many poor children of all races. But in an unexplained disparity, as far back as 1988, studies have concluded that black children, regardless of their families’ income, are much more likely than white children to have unacceptably high levels of lead in their blood.

Many health experts say lead is the most widespread environmental hazard in minority communities. The effects of lead poisoning can extend from headaches and nausea to permanent brain damage, especially in children.

In 1987, Toxic Waste and Race, (the seminal report that coined the term “environmental racism”) found race to be more important than socioeconomic status in predicting the location of the nation’s commercial hazardous waste facilities.

Even food, and where, and how, it is made available is subject to environmental racism.

Right now, in America millions of low-income people live more than a mile from a supermarket, and most don’t have access to a vehicle. In these neighborhoods, food typically comes from fast food chains, convenience stores and drug stores, which often means decreased access to fresh fruits or vegetables and higher prices. Poor diets and obesity have been associated with these so-called “food deserts,” where obesity rates can be five times higher than in communities with access

to fresh, healthy foods.

Most food literature on underserved communities focuses on poor nutritional quality of canned and pre-packaged food. Chemicals found in food packaging, however, are also harmful to our health. One of those chemicals is bisphenol A, or BPA. This chemical, banned from baby bottles and sippy cups nationwide, remains in use to line food cans.

Intended as a protective barrier between the metal and the can’s contents, BPA can actually leach into the food we eat. The effects of leaching BPA are likely most detrimental for pregnant women, babies and children. People of color living in underserved communities have been found to have higher levels of BPA in their blood relative to the rest of the population. One possible explanation is greater reliance on canned foods that are often less expensive and more readily available.

The most significant problem facing people of color is the institutional and cultural racism which results in discrimination in access to services, goods and opportunities.

Institutional racism involves polices, practices, and procedures of institutions that have a disproportionately negative effect on racial minorities’ access to and quality of goods, services, and opportunities.

As economist William J. Kruvant described in a 1975 article: “Disadvantaged people are largely victims of middle- and upper-class pollution because they usually live closest to the sources of pollution — power plants, industrial installations, and in central cities where vehicle traffic is heaviest. Usually they have no choice. Discrimination created the situation, and those with wealth and influence have political power to keep polluting facilities away from their homes. Living in poverty areas is bad enough. Environmental racism makes it worse.”

I’ll close with a quote from writer, Vann R. Newkirk II. He feels that discrimination in public planning is to blame: “The environment is a system controlled and designed by people — and people can be racist.”

Mental Health & Reality TV: How society has lost our moral compass Little did I believe at the time that while attending a clinical psychology class in college almost three decades ago that the prophetic words of a former professor would be so relevant today. Those echoing words that beckoned, “Watch and see, within the next two or three decades, society is going to witness an explosion in the form of everything from violent crimes to other unimaginable acts that will be linked to mental health and shifting societal norms” always stuck with me. And sadly, one key word — “explosion”— is an understatement as it relates to daily tragedies now taking place throughout America and around the world.

Two major factors which often continue to fall on deaf ears of law enforcement representatives and court systems to households in every urban community is the fact that mental health issues (often undiagnosed) are frequently and directly attributed to the vast majority of offenses taking place today. Especially since research reflects that one out of every four people in America (and the percentage is rising) suffers from some type of mental disorder whether it is diagnosed or undiagnosed. Factor in the likelihood that most black and Latino families often refuse to acknowledge when their family member has exhibited subtle signs/symptoms of a mental health concern, but instead of seeking to support the individual(s) in getting the proper help, the concern is ignored due to a sense of embarrassment. Much like the subject of organ donation, which could help save the life of another individual, there are certain topics of conversation that are totally avoided in the dialogue of urban communities unlike they are openly discussed throughout other ethnic communities, with mental health being another such example.

Add to this mixture the often misleading and de-valuing lessons exhibited in episodes

of the latest reality TV shows of today and you have a Molotov cocktail in the form of a disastrous recipe for moral failure. Often promoted and viewed as “entertainment” to a world of thrill-seeking millennials who struggle for a sense of acceptable direction, most viewers are clueless to the propensity which such shows negatively impact young impressionable minds.

While many may argue that some rap lyrics and videos have done a great harm, reality TV shows have led to a far greater breakdown in the way women of color are viewed in the world, which has also been glorified by a new wave of young females who are turning to escorting (modern day prostitution) as a common way of life in order to acquire expensive vehicles, clothes, jewelry and meaningless lifestyles they see flaunted by the images they interpret as their role models: reality TV personalities.

Unfortunately, unless society as a whole begins to take a stand against supporting shows which send negative subliminal messages to young people of color as opposed to embracing such buffoonery and helping to support the boosting of a show’s ratings, and unless law enforcement entities begin to revamp their systems with a far-reaching mental health response instead of a punitive-based approach, the moral fiber of society as we once knew it will soon be a thing of forgotten generations.
