MARTA expansion into north Atlanta suburbs causes rifts

By Terry Shropshire Longtime community organizer and south side Atlanta resident Debra Scott told this reporter late last year that, if Clayton County voters approved of a small tax hike to expand Atlanta’s Metro Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority, or MARTA’s, bus and rail into the beleaguered county, the momentum would begin to build. Scott predicted the pendulum would swing toward MARTA expansion into the rest of the region as well, including the long-resistant north side. The north side of Atlanta is much more white and more wealthy than its southern counterpart, and has historically been much more resistant to bus and rail being built in, or running through, their communities. “You watch. If it passes here, Gwinnett will also consider it,” said the executive director of Georgia Stand-Up shortly before the November 2014 election. The measure passed overwhelmingly (approximately 75 percent of the Clayton County electorate voted in favor of bus and rail expansion). “The community benefits from increased economic opportunities and access to transportation and jobs. The region wins and the business community wins.” Then there was little viable or tangible reason to believe that her prediction would manifest itself. There is at least some vestige of hope now. Gwinnett is Georgia’s second-most populous county (after Fulton, which houses Atlanta). It was also one of the largest counties in the country without mass public transportation. Only recently have Gwinnett transportation officials begun shuffling workers to and from their bedroom communities and wealthy suburbs on Atlanta’s north side into the city center. But the buses only run into certain parts of Atlanta, only at certain times, and do not operate on Sundays. However, steam has been building on a variety of fronts to develop the type of rail system that exists in other major metropolitan cities like;

Washington, Chicago, New York/Northern New Jersey and San Francisco/Oakland. Other metropolitan Atlanta communities being considered for rail systems include communities further north into the wealthier suburbs of North Fulton County, such as Alpharetta. For the first time in the history of the existence of MARTA, north side residents are warming up to a system expansion. Just one month after Clayton County began bus services on the south side of Atlanta — the first expansion beyond Fulton and DeKalb counties in MARTA’s 43-year history — in the spring of 2015, the Gwinnett County Chamber of Commerce conducted a pole on the topic. Here are some of those findings: • Sixty-three percent of likely voters in Gwinnett County support the expansion of MARTA into the county. • The survey shows a paradigm shift in the perspective of MARTA. Gwinnett voters have rejected joining MARTA several times over the decades. Some critics of the move decry the influx of illicit activities into their county would be the unintended result of expansion. • Gwinnett residents are also willing to pay for it, unlike in years past. In addition to the majority of likely voters supporting the expansion, the study says a “majority of likely voters in Gwinnett County support a one percent sales tax to fund the expansion of MARTA into Gwinnett County.” • The demographics of Gwinnett have changed, not to mention a doubling of the

residents from 1990 to more than 870,000 today, according to the U.S. Census estimate. Whites make up less than 45 percent of the population, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce latest numbers in 2010. The Gwinnett study sampled a total of 502 Gwinnett County citizens, with twice as many white participants than African Americans. Fourteen percent of the respondents identified as “other.” Businesses and more conservative state legislators in the metro region are showing a strong desire for more transit options in proximity to their businesses. Clayton County voters recently approved a 1 percent sales tax to fund MARTA bus service and rail. There is still a strong segment of the population who oppose mass transit though. “The groups with the strongest opposition to expansion are Conservatives, Republicans, and voters living further north in the county,” the report states. Another major concern for north metro residents: increased crime and poverty. Nearly 88 percent of Atlanta’s poor live in the suburbs, according to Confronting Suburban Poverty in America, by Elizabeth Kneebone and Alan Berube of the Brookings Institution. Between 2000 and 2011, Atlanta’s suburban poor population grew by 159 percent, while the city’s poor population remained essentially flat. Once the families move into the region, they find there are few mass transit options to get to the higher paying jobs in Atlanta or at Hartsfield airport, the world’s busiest and one of the largest in the nation. MARTA executives are in talks with state representatives, especially after the $1 billiona-year bill that passed in the Gold Dome, but would only go towards bridges and roads, but not towards MARTA expansion. One thing has changed, however. Conservative representatives no longer view MARTA as a joke, like they once did. Unlike other major cities in the North, Georgia legislators and residents viewed MARTA as transportation for indigents. Recently, however, businesses such as State Farm and Mercedes made it unequivocally clear that they desire to have mass transit within proximity to their regional or national headquarters in the Atlanta region. The corporate development has emboldened MARTA executives to put together a plan to soon propose an $8 billion comprehensive transit proposition to state legislators and Gov. Deal. Included in the plan would be; the rail link up further north along Georgia 400 corridor that would connect Alpharetta to Atlanta and the airport, and another line along Insterstate 20 that would link the city with Emory University and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In years past, such a plan would have seemed like a complete joke that would have gotten you laughed out of the Gold Dome. No one is laughing now.

The community benefits from increased economic opportunities and access to transportation and jobs. The region wins and the business community wins.”

NEWS Atlanta cooling stations provide respite Mayor Reed dedicates new club for military from high heat

www.AtlantaDailyWorld.com

By Terry Shropshire The city of Atlanta is most certainly earning its moniker “Hot-lanta” as the heat and humidity push the index up to (and occasionally past) the alarming triple-digit demarcation in the month of July. During these intense days when the heat seems to bear-hug you as if you’re long-lost friends, the city of Atlanta has subsequently announced three cooling stations that will remain open until further notice to ensure that Atlanta residents have a safe place to stay cool

July 16-22, 2015

during the dangerously high temperatures. Residents, especially senior citizens, are strongly advised to take advantage of these cooling stations if needed. Cooling stations are air conditioned facilities where Atlanta residents can find relief from the heat. They are open daily from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. The Atlanta Fire and Rescue Department is also offering free bottled water at all fire stations. The cooling stations are located at: • Georgia Hill Neighborhood Center, 250 Georgia Avenue, S.E. Atlanta, GA 30312(404) 658-6395

• J.C. Burdine, 215 Lakewood Way, S.E. Atlanta, GA 30315 (404) 658-7855 • Old Adamsville Emergency Shelter, 3403 Delmar Lane Atlanta, GA 30331 To stay safe and cool during heat advisories and warnings, please follow these tips: • Stay indoors in air-conditioned spaces as much as possible and limit exposure to the sun; • Dress in loose-fitting, lightweight and light-colored clothes that cover as much skin as possible; • Familiarize yourself with the medical conditions that can result from over-exposure to heat, including heat exhaustion and heatstroke to help lessen health threats and harm; • Avoid strenuous work during the warmest part of the day; • Use a buddy system when working in extreme heat, and take frequent breaks; • Never leave children or pets alone in closed vehicles; • Make sure pets have plenty of water and shade, be careful to not over-exercise them, and keep them indoors when it’s extremely hot; • Closely monitor a local radio station, TV station or NOAA Weather Radio for the latest information on excessive heat watches and warnings. For more information, please contact the Office of Constituent Services at (404) 330-6023.

Atlanta Department of Corrections observes National Mental Health Month The Department of Corrections announced that it will observe National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month by engaging in activities to increase the public’s knowledge of access to mental health treatment and services for multicultural communities. DOC will host a public forum entitled, ‘Stop the Stigma, Silence the Shame: Mental Health and the Minority Communities,’ on Thursday, July 30, 2015 from 6 to 8 p.m. at City Hall Council Chambers. The free panel discussion will be hosted by DOC mental health supervisor Dr. Tracey Elam and feature a panel of mental health experts including Pat Strode, Crisis Intervention Team Program Administrator at the National Alliance on Mental Illness; Dr. Robert O. Cotes, Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and Associate Director of Psychiatry Residency Education at Emory University School of Medicine, and Medical Director for 13A Inpatient Unit at Grady Memorial Hospital; Dr. Kelly L. Coffman, Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Emory University School of Medicine; and survivor/ advocate Ashley Smith. “It is a natural fit for the Department of Corrections to promote National Minority Mental Health

Awareness Month because we serve a large minority inmate population, many of whom are suffering from a variety of mental illnesses,” said Chief Patrick Labat. “In 2014, of the 7,400 inmates at the Atlanta City Detention Center who were evaluated for mental health issues, 80 percent were African American. We would rather have individuals with mental illnesses seek the professional help they need to recover instead of functioning without treatment and potentially engaging in risky or unlawful behaviors that could land them in jail.” Additional programs during Minority Mental Health Awareness Month include Crisis Intervention Team training for local law enforcement agencies. The purpose of CIT training is to improve the way law enforcement and the community responds to people experiencing mental health crises. The 40-hour training, facilitated by Ms. Strode, will be held July 13-17 at the Atlanta City Detention Center; 254 Peachtree Street SW, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. During the month of July, the DOC is also sharing weekly stress tips and hosting workshops for its staff to help identify and cope with the stresses of working in a correctional environment.

Nicholas Thomas’ family and lawyers say police told conflicting stories By Terry Shropshire Teary-eyed, but undeterred, the mother of slain youngster Nicholas Thomas walked to the podium with the steely resolution of a person who believes unequivocally that her son died unnecessarily. But instead of striking out with molten lava hate at the officers and the local judicial system, she offered condolences. “I give my condolences to Officer Kenneth Owens. I give my condolences to Cobb County,” Felicia Thomas said through a quivering voice. “My family is not going to stop. God has the last word, not [Cobb County District Attorney] Vic Reynolds.” The matriarch of the Thomas family, however, expressed disappointment in those investigating the killing of her son whom she said were equally guilty of failure to disclose all information presented. The grieving, but stoic mother also accused law officials of not pursuing pertinent leads which might have led the grand jury to render a different conclusion than to exonerate Owens in killing her son at the Goodyear Tire store in Smyrna. That’s why the Thomas family has hired famed private investigator T.J. Ward to discover evidence the Thomas camp believes is still out there that could impact the case. Ward referenced the Ariston Waiters killing by police in Union City in 2011. Initially, the Grand Jury ruled in the officer’s favor. But when Ward uncovered new evidence, Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard has been forced to take the case to a second Grand Jury. Meanwhile, the attorney’s for the Thomas family, Mawuli Davis and Robert Bozeman, illuminated the fact that during the initial police news conference after Thomas’ killing, Smyr-

na superiors claimed Owens said he shot Thomas because he feared for his own life. Following the autopsy that showed Thomas was shot in the back, the official police story changed, the attorneys said. Owens then claimed he believed Thomas was going to use the Maserati he tried to escape in to run over another officer, prompting him to use deadly force to save that officer’s life. Thomas’ brother said he is going to do everything within his power to get Reynolds out of office. “I told my brother (while he laid in his casket) that ‘I’m going to get justice for you’ and I’m not going to stop,” said T.J. Thomas. Please continue to follow developments on this story at atlantadailyworld.com

Why Claudia Jordan was fired from ‘Rickey Smiley Morning Show’ By Terry Shropshire Baseeball legend Yogi Berra once famously quipped “it’s déjà vu all over again.” That sufficiently sizes up the turbulent atmosphere at the “Rickey Smiley Morning Show.” Just one year after ultra-popular co-host Ebony Steele was fired under extremely conspicuous and questionable circumstances, Claudia Jordan has been reportedly terminated after replacing Steele in the co-host chair. The inside source who relayed to this Atlanta Daily World writer said several factors may have played a part in her unceremonious dismissal from the show: 1. Ratings are down in many markets, and when that happens, casualties begin to pile up. Despite the fact that RSMS’s audience has risen among older listeners, I was told the ratings have begun a descent among the younger, prized demographic that advertisers covet and cater to. 2. It doesn’t help that RSMS ranked 13th overall and among the all-important 18-to-34-year-old demographic. The “Rickey Smiley Morning Show” fell from a 7.2, good for second place, in June 2014 to a 4.6 last month. That places RSMS in 7th place. 3. Rumors are once again surfacing that Smiley was perturbed that fans and photographers were clinging to a popular co-star. People flocked to Jordan whenever she made public appearances at events and red carpets, which was very often. Many pop culture observers remarked that Smiley had the same issue with Ebony Steele, who

was extremely popular and stayed in the public eye with her own foundations, business interests and red carpet appearances. However, the most damning evidence of a possible rift between Smiley and Jordan may have come within the last couple of weeks when Smiley posted a long rant about ungrateful colleagues and people eating “off of him” without showing proper deference. He didn’t name anyone specifically, but you can probably connect the dots. Smiley has since deleted the social media rant, but screenshots enabled my inside source to send me the entire open letter. Take a look: From Rickey Smiley: “It kills me when you give people opportunity and the disrespect I have to deal with daily, my entire career. Being no nonsense and not taking shi from anyone is not bipolar. Saying no to someone isn’t being mean. I got folks who eat off me, get paid for what they do and can walk in the studio in their feelings [sic] about nothing … sounds good on the air. If you only knew. It’s not just white people that have entitlement issues … All I do here is provide opportunities for people, come to work happy every day, work hard and have to deal with S on and off the air. The devil IS a lie. It’s all good because I appre ciate the ones that’s respectful and loyal and trying to make these radio and tv dreams come true. So instead of mistreating an employer that provides an opportunity for you to have a career, if what he provides is not enough, then start your own. Simple. #entitlement.

ENTERTAINMENT Whoopi closing in on Bill Atlanta Dream’s Angel McCoughtry and Shoni Schimmel named Cosby’s guilt

July 16-22, 2015

By Bjosephsny Bill Cosby‘s released court admission last week finally had many at least second-guessing whether or not they should still defending the famed and now infamous comic. Many is not all, though. Whoopi Goldberg and Raven-Sy-

www.AtlantaDailyWorld.com

moné continued to defend Cosby on “The View,” until recently that is. Now, Symoné is going to have to go it alone on that stand. Although Goldberg didn’t outright say she was wrong, she admitted that the “innocent until proven guilty logic” may be a bit flawed in this case. “If this is to be tried in the court of public opinion, I got to say all of the information that’s out there kind of points to guilt,” she said to ABC News chief legal analyst Dan Abrams on “The View.” Goldberg then turned her attention to Cosby: “It looks bad, Bill. Either speak up or shut up.” Goldberg joins singer Jill Scott in stepping away from Cosby’s defense following the release of court documents. However, Symoné and Bill’s wife Camille are still pro-Cosby because of their relationship with the beleaguered comedian rather than logic.

Jada Pinkett Smith joins CNN for sex trafficking special report

The reprehensible sex trafficking trade in the city of Atlanta and the state of Georgia is among the very highest in the nation and is extremely prominent across the entire country. Jada Pinkett Smith, a member of an acting dynasty in America that includes husband Will Smith, was horrified when her daughter asked about the crimes and researched the exorbitantly high number of underage children being sold for sex. Renowned celebrity activist and beloved actress appears for a CNN Special Report. Pinkett Smith travels to Atlanta — a trafficking hotspot — to try and unravel the complicated web of human trafficking that’s happening right here in the United States. The hour-long special report is a gritty, raw look at the human trafficking industry in the United States, the lives of children caught in its web, and those fighting back against this form of modern-day slavery. “Children for Sale: The Fight to End Human Trafficking” airs Tuesday, July 21 at 9 pm ET/PT on CNN, CNN International and via CNN go. In this powerful report, Pinkett Smith and CNN delve deep into the heart of this heinous crime, following undercover officers on raids and rescues of underage victims, accompanying aid workers on outreach missions, and spending time with the survivors in shelters as they share their harrowing stories. “For me, this project is extremely important because I

want the world to understand the dangers that every kid in America is susceptible to,” Pinkett Smith says. “Human trafficking is one aspect of the vulnerabilities and obstacles that we are confronted with. People who sell children are monsters.” Sex trafficking hit Pinkett Smith head-on when her then pre-teen daughter asked her about the crime in the United States. In disbelief, Pinkett Smith began to research and is now a vocal activist and advocate. Where does sex trafficking start? How do girls get manipulated into it? How hard is it for law enforcement and others to save them? And how can communities help protect children from the men and women who prey on their vulnerabilities? To get answers, Pinkett Smith sits down with survivors who courageously share their horrifying stories of exploitation and the triumph of their survival. Pinkett Smith and CNN follow Sergeant Torrey Kennedy, head of the Internet Crimes Against Children Division, as he conducts undercover raids to arrest suspected traffickers and rescue underage girls. Lisa Williams, founder of a safe house and rehabilitation facility for trafficked teens, is featured as Williams counsels the exploited teen highlighted in this special report. In the special documentary, Pinkett Smith comes face-to-face with a convicted female trafficker. Viewers will also hear from aid workers and prosecutors who are working to eradicate this heinous crime.

All-Star Starters

The Atlanta Dream leads WNBA’s Eastern Conference with two players voted into the starting lineup as Dream forward Angel McCoughtry and guard Shoni Schimmel have been voted in as starters to represent the Eastern Conference in Boost Mobile’s WNBA All-Star 2015. Boost Mobile WNBA All-Star 2015 will be played on Saturday, July 25 beginning at 3:30 p.m., EST. The game will be televised to a live national audience on ABC from the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. The starting lineups were determined by fan voting, with McCoughtry receiving 7,619 votes to finish second among all frontcourt players in the Eastern Conference. It marks the fourth time McCoughtry has been voted in as an All-Star starter, having previously earned starting nods in 2011, 2013 and 2014. Schimmel, who was the most valuable player of the 2014 WNBA All-Star Game, was second among all Eastern Conference guards with 8,881 votes, which ranked sixth amongst WNBA players overall. McCoughtry ranked second among East forwards, trailing only Indiana’s Tamika Catchings, who ranked second among all Eastern Conference players with 9,923 votes. The Dream will have two starters at the All-Star Game for the second time in franchise history and in the second consecutive season overall. McCoughtry currently ranks second among WNBA leaders in scoring (21.9), fifth in steals (2.0), eighth in assists (3.6) and 13th in rebounding (6.3). She is the only WNBA player to rank among the top-13 in each of those categories. The prolific frontcourt scorer has been a model of consistency as she has registered double-figure points in all 12 games this season and a total of 19 consecutive dating back to the 2014 campaign. She has rung up a total of eight 20+ point scoring efforts in 2015 and a pair of 30+ point totals. McCoughtry ranked in the top-four in both scoring and steals in the WNBA in 2014. She paced the league with an average of 2.39 steals and ranked fourth in scoring (18.5 ppg) while helping guide the Dream to their sixth consecutive playoff appearance. The 6-1 forward also was the second-leading scorer for the 2012 U.S. Olympic Team

that won the gold medal in London. The former No. 1 overall pick out of Louisville in 2009, McCoughtry will become the first Dream player to appear in four WNBA AllStar Games - each of which she has been a starter. Schimmel will be making her second consecutive WNBA All-Star game appearance as a starter after being recognized as the game’s most valuable player in 2014. She registered a WNBA All-Star game-record 29 points and dished out eight assists in last season’s contest, leading the Eastern Conference to a 125124 overtime win. Schimmel shot 11-of-24 from the field in last year’s all-star classic, including a 7-of-16 clip from beyond the three-point arc. McCoughtry totaled 13 points and seven rebounds, while shooting 6-of-11 overall in the 2014 overtime victory for the Eastern Conference. Joining McCoughtry and Schimmel in the Eastern Conference lineup will be Chicago’s Elena Delle Donne, who led all players with 18,034 votes, Indiana’s Catchings (9,923 votes) and New York’s Tina Charles (6,129). The Western Conference starters will include Tulsa’s Skylar Diggins (15,895), Minnesota’s Seimone Augustus (9,599) and Maya Moore (13,706) as well as Phoenix’s Brittney Griner (7,138) and Candice Dupree (5,954). The East squad will be led by Chicago Sky head coach Pokey Chatman by virtue of their 2014 Eastern Conference Championship. Phoenix’s Sandy Brondello will head the West coaching staff after leading her team to the WNBA Championship last season. The 12 WNBA head coaches will select the reserves by voting for six players within their own conference: two backcourt players, three frontcourt players, and a player from either position. Coaches are not permitted to vote for players on their ownteam. The league will announce the reserves during ESPN2’s national telecast of the Los Angeles Sparks and Phoenix Mercury on Tuesday, July 21 at 11 p.m., ET. In the case of players who are unable to play due to injury -- such as Diggins, who has sustained a season-ending injury - replacement players will be named by WNBA President Laurel J. Richie.

POLITICS

July 16-22, 2015

Confederate flag leaves the State Capitol in Columbia only works if you don’t have a moral compass.” The Black legislators seemed to be running the show. Rep. Lonnie Hosey spoke quietly but directly to Republican Rep. Rick Quinn when he said, “I need you to be a hero.” Quinn represents Lexington, SC, the home district of Dylann Roof, the confessed Charleston mass murderer. Quinn verbally bristled when someone suggested that he did not understand the plight of the families who lost loved ones in the massacre. Finally, at the end of the evening, Quinn acquiesced and offered his own amendment up to be tabled, opening a path to adoption of a “clean bill” without amendments that would not require a House/Senate conference committee. Quinn will have some hard questions to answer when he returns to Lexington, a mostly White suburb of Columbia. A turning point had been reached near midnight when Rep. James Smith from Richland took to the podium. Smith is that rarest of political species, a White male Southern Democrat elected official under the age of 70. Smith hinted that a compromise was in the works and added to our understanding of Reconstruction history when he said, “Flying the flag dishonors General Robert E. Lee and violates the terms of surrender at Appomattox.” Then he proceeded to outline a new aspect of the debate: “For nearly 100 years, we got along fine without the Confederate flag. It was brought out in 1960 as a middle finger to the federal government. ” By Janice Mathis Last week, the South Carolina House of Representatives agreed that the Confederate battle flag will leave its place of prominence on the grounds of the Capitol and take up residence in the Relic Room of the state museum in Columbia. The victorious state representatives did not seem to be in a mood for celebration at the end of a very long day of sometimes passionate debate. By 1 a.m. the following morning they were tired, and any exuberance was suppressed by the price paid in blood by Clementa Pinckney and the eight souls massacred at Mother Emmanuel in Charleston. In one of the more callous moments of the evening, in response to bipartisan calls for “grace,” GOP Majority Leader and Charleston State Rep. James H. Merrill, said “I don’t know shinola about grace.” His amendments were aimed, he said, at giving “a little bit of solace to both sides.” Merrill also proposed that the Confederate Relic Room get a state budget appropriation in 2016. The Black legislators acquitted themselves as statesmen. Rep. Joe Neal gave a brief history lesson about the one million enslaved Africans in South Carolina at the time of the Civil War. He also refuted amendments calling for memorials to Blacks who fought for the Confederacy with the fact that there were very few Black Confederates, because the measure was not approved until one month before Appomattox. According to Rep. John King, “People have threatened that I won’t be re-elected. The seat does not belong to me. It belongs to the people of District 49. I am not proud to be a South Carolinian. Make South Carolina an inviting place for all people.” Added Rep. Cezar McKnight, “You cannot serve two masters. You cannot wave two flags. It is our flag, the flag of the United States of America. Put the Confederate banner it its proper place in the relic room.”

The media star of the debate was Rep. Jenny Horne from Charleston, who attracted much well-deserved attention as a descendant of Jefferson Davis, the man who served as president of the Confederate States of America during the Civil War. “I’m sorry, I have heard enough about heritage. But that does not matter. It is about the people of South Carolina. I will tell you that I have it on good authority that the world is watching this debate,” Horne said. “We need to follow the example of the Senate and remove this flag today because this issue is not getting any better with age. Speaking on behalf of the people of Charleston, this flag offends my friends. I cannot believe that we do not have the heart in this body to do something meaningful.” Horne was not without opposition. Her fellow Charlestonian, James Merrill, sarcastically referred to appreciating colleagues who were “treading (sic) on emotion.” Rep. Jenny Horne and House Majority Leader Rep. James Merrill, both Republicans, went at it. Merrill insisted on attempting to amend the Senate version of the bill to delay removal of the flag, while Horne kept her promise to attempt to table the amendment, but she lost. “Doing the right thing is the hardest thing to do. Find the courage to do the right thing for the people of South Carolina,” said Horne. Rep. Bedenfield proved just how hard doing the right thing could be when he proposed the creation of a new South Carolina state flag that would honor veterans who fought to defend this state against an “over oppressive federal government.” Fortunately there were also a few moments of levity sprinkled throughout the long night. Rep. Gilda Cobb Hunter asked for order, but when she didn’t get it she then scolded the speaker, saying, “With this crowd at this hour, you are going to have to bang that gavel harder, baby.” Rep. David Mack told his colleagues, “Slavery was a perfect business model — free labor. But it

GUEST COMMENTARY

GUEST COMMENTARY

by Dr. Julianne Malveaux

by Kevin P. Chavous

The disgrace of church fires It’s possible lightening may have caused one of the fires. Another may be the result of faulty electricity. Still, recently, there were fires at churches in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Ohio and Tennessee. At least two have been ruled arson by local fire departments. Several are still being investigated. Is it a coincidence that churches are burning in the days since the massacre at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina? President Obama spoke to the historical importance of Black churches when he eulogized Rev. Clementa Pinckney. The church, he said, “is and always has been the center of African American life.” He went on to describe Black churches as “hush harbors” for enslaved people, “praise houses where their free descendants could gather and shout hallelujah, rest stops for the weary along the Underground Railroad, bunkers for the foot soldiers of the Civil Rights Movement.” To set fire to a Black church, to kill people in a Black church, to bomb a church strikes at the very heart of our community. These acts of terrorism are meant to intimidate, to send a message. That these recent fires have happened in the wake of protests against the vile Confederate flag suggests that these fires may be pushback from the protests, a continuation of work of the man who murdered nine people in Emanuel AME church. Whoever is burning churches, though, forgets that it is not 1815, but 2015. The intimidation tactics that worked during slavery won’t work now. The burnings ought to spark a resistance to racism unlike any we have seen in the past. These church fires ought to infuse us with the passion of Bree Newsome, the African American woman who climbed up a pole and snatched the Confederate flag from a pole outside the South Carolina statehouse. She didn’t wait for Governor Nikki Haley to take the flag down; she was too fired up to wait.

Haley’s post-massacre announcement that the flag will no longer fly on statehouse grounds is symbolic until the South Carolina legislature votes to take the flag down. Meanwhile, Alabama Governor Robert Bentley, not needing legislative approval, ordered four Confederate flags to be taken down from the state’s capitol grounds. A South Carolina woman, Edith S. Childs, came up with a slogan when candidate Obama visited Greenwood, South Carolina (population about 23,000) for an event that drew a scant 20 people. To energize the small crowd, Childs walked through the crowd attempting to fire them up. The call and response phrase “Fired up, ready to go!” not only galvanized the small gathering, but became a central chant of Obama’s 2008 campaign. Used everywhere from civil rights gatherings to country clubs, “fired up” captured the energy of the first Obama campaign. Indeed, organizations used the slogan to get people out to vote, to work on issues other than the Obama campaign, to symbolize the energy needed for change. In the wake of these church burnings, the righteous need to be fired up and ready to go in dismantling the racism that has plagued our nation since its founding. We need to collectively debunk the myth that the Confederate flag is about history and heritage. It is simply about White supremacy. We need to go to school boards, especially in the South, to demand curriculum revisions when young people are force-fed inaccurate history about the Civil War. We need to put those employers “on blast” when they “can’t “find any African Americans to hire. We ought to encourage the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) to ensure that those who get federal contracts comply with the la, that those who get federal contracts do affirmative action hiring.

The key to winning back voters Bill and Hillary Clinton are fond of saying that elections are about the future. Yet even before she officially entered the 2016 presidential contest, Hillary Clinton found herself preemptively branded by her opponents as a candidate of the past. Now that she has formally announced a second run for the White House, she faces the challenge of showing the American people a truly forward-looking agenda. To accomplish this, Clinton needs to take bold action — and she need not look far for guidance. In 1994, it was Bill Clinton who took the traditionally Republican issue of welfare reform and made it his own, eventually ushering in one of the greatest successes of his presidency. Similarly, Hillary Clinton has an opportunity to take another bold, unexpected step that would startle her Republican critics and demonstrate her independence from old party dogma: embracing school choice. The 2014 midterms saw a significant shift in African American and Hispanic voting patterns. Nationally, Republicans picked up eight points among Blacks and made double-digit gains with Latinos. These traditionally left-leaning blocs moved away from the Democratic Party. This underperformance among minorities, arguably, helped cost Democrats elections they were once favored to win. What is behind the growing dissatisfaction with the national Democratic Party among minorities? One explanation is that Democrats are not offering any new solutions to a problem that many minority voters — particularly in the Black community — care deeply about: fixing our failing schools. A recent EducationNext poll, sponsored by Stanford University and Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, found that 47 percent of African-Americans were in favor of charter schools while just 29 percent were opposed. It is not difficult to understand the demand for substantive education reform. African American and Hispanic students consistently lag behind White students in both reading and math skills across several age groups. Recent assessments show lack students are performing the worst across the board.

Our schools are not just failing young Americans of color today, they’ve been failing them for decades. Multiple generations of minorities have seen these patterns affect themselves and their families, and they are showing their frustration at the ballot box. For the sake of future generations, we have to change the conversation about how we educate our children. Parental choice in education does not have to be a “zero sum game” between public and private schools. To begin with, the conversation must be expanded. Everyone should have a seat at the table. Education reform requires an “all of the above” approach. We can improve public schools while also giving parents the option to educate their children at a charter school or offering other local forms of assistance. Instead of seeking collaboration among all stakeholders, Democrats’ education policy has long paid disproportionate attention to one group: teachers unions, which oppose most reform efforts almost reflexively. Not only is this approach ineffective, it is no longer politically sound — teachers unions poured $80 million into the midterm elections, but their candidates could not win. Prominent Republicans in the 2016 race already have demonstrated a commitment to discussing these issues and some, such as former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, have built credible education reform records that underscore their positions. If Democrats do not offer more inclusive education policy proposals in 2016 beyond blind support for the unions, they will only be hindering themselves and giving the Republicans a crucial opening with minority voters who long have felt ignored or neglected. But this is an opportunity for Hillary Clinton, too. She could take advantage of this moment and start this much-needed conversation with a truly groundbreaking, innovative stance that would clearly define her as a candidate of the future.
