Show them the money 6 local black businesses expect to cash in on UCI races By Joey Matthews

Lester Johnson, co-owner of Mama J’s Kitchen in Downtown, set the wheels in motion last year to try to earn a piece of the economic pie that the 2015 UCI Road World Championships is expected to generate when cyclists from across the world roll into town this weekend. “We really wanted to be a part of it,” Mr. Johnson told the Free Press this week. So Mr. Johnson said he submitted a bid by the popular black-owned eatery to Richmond 2015, organizers of last spring’s USA Cycling Collegiate Road National Championships to cater meals. The bid was approved and Mama J’s made 1,800 box lunches for volunteers who worked at the college championships from May 2 through 4. The strategy was simple: Mr. Johnson wanted to work with officials with Richmond 2015 early because they would be selecting vendors for the bigger, nine-day UCI Road World Championships in Richmond Sept. 19 through 27. “We wanted to get in front of the people we knew would be making decisions for the UCI bike races,” he said. Fast forward to this weekend. Mama J’s is contracted by Richmond 2015 to serve 2,700 meals to about 900 people who will watch the final three days of the races Friday, Sept. 25, through Sunday, Sept. 27, from a VIP tent on Libby Hill in the East End. Mama J’s is one of at least six black-owned businesses performing work for the UCI Road World Championships, the Free Press has learned. The others are marketing firms Johnson Inc. and West Cary Group, Ty’s Hauling and Paving, Kleane Kare cleaning services and the Astyra Corp. staffing agency. Owners of the six businesses declined to say how much they are being paid by Richmond 2015. Please turn to A4

The world will be in our front yard starting this week as cyclists with the 2015 UCI Road World Championships race through Richmond. Beginning Saturday, Sept. 19, through Sunday, Sept. 27, more than 1,000 world-class cyclists representing 75 countries will be competing for international honors. If you are among the expected throng of thousands of spectators who will line Metro Richmond’s streets, or if you elect to join the more than

300 million viewers online or by television, here are a few facts to help you to fully enjoy and understand the nine-day event. The Importance to Richmond

The UCI Road World Championships, or “Worlds” as they call it, is one of cycling’s elite events. The international competition began in 1921, in the first host city of Copenhagen, Denmark. Now in its 94th year, this is only the second time that a United States city has been selected to host the

event. The first time was in 1986, when Colorado Springs, Colo., hosted the races. Other host cities have included Zurich, Rome, Montreal and Barcelona, Spain. The Races

The event is comprised of 12 different races, with each race crowning a world champion in the event. The races will be held on four courses. Two of the four courses start at the Greater Richmond Convention Please turn to A4

City hands keys to port to state authority By Jeremy M. Lazarus

Jobs, jobs, jobs — that’s the vision being conjured up as Richmond hands the keys to its 120-acre port to the state of Virginia for 40 years. On Monday, the same night as Richmond City Council gave a thumbs up to a proposal for a freestanding children’s hospital on the Boulevard, the nine-member governing body also unanimously approved the award of a fourdecade lease of the shipping facility to the state. The hope: That the VPA will do for Richmond what it has done for another inland port in Front Royal — spark major job growth by attracting new businesses seeking port services. The VPA, best known for operating the state’s main ports in Norfolk, Portsmouth and Newport News, has been in charge of Richmond’s neglected port off Commerce Road in South Richmond since 2011 when it gained a five-year lease. The state authority beat out two other bidders for the long-term lease, including PCI of Virginia LLC, which currently operates the city’s port under a contract with VPA. Councilman Jonathan T. Baliles, 1st District, cited the Front Royal example in supporting the deal.

Mr. Baliles said the Front Royal port took time to develop, but has taken off since 2002. Today, that operation has created 8,000 jobs by attracting 39 companies that collectively have invested $749 million to set up operations, he said. That’s the kind of job growth that Richmond needs, he said. Councilwoman Reva M. Trammell, 8th District, who represents the port area, also expressed delight at the prospect that a revitalized port could generate employment opportunities. “That’s what everyone talks about — the need for more jobs,” she said. Mayor Dwight C. Jones pushed the 40-year deal, describing it as an important element in the city’s efforts to fight poverty. He, along with area business groups, envisions the VPA deal as generating new investment and providing “access to good jobs, an important ingredient to mitigate poverty” that grips one in four city residents. He said a revitalized port under VPA control should ultimately yield a bounty of jobs in logistics, transportation, warehousing and processing, creating opportunities for more residents “to participate in Richmond’s resurgence.” The city has given the neglected port area more priority after spending $13.5 million to

relocate its fleet of cars and trucks and repair facilities from the Boulevard area to Commerce Road in the past three years. During the next few years, the state and city plan to spend least $18 million to improve Commerce Road and Deepwater Terminal Road to better accommodate tractor trailers and portassociated vehicles. VPA also is promising to keep the port dredged to handle larger ships, modernize and enlarge aging warehouses and replace the aging crane that unloads containers.

Meanwhile, city officials will be seeking to attract businesses that could benefit from the port to 14 acres of vacant land on the port’s property and 300 acres of available property on nearby Commerce Road. City Council also voted 9-0 to join Mayor Jones in endorsing the concept of replacing The Diamond baseball stadium on the Boulevard with a modern, freestanding children’s hospital to improve services for ill children.

‘Journey for Justice’ in Richmond Marchers on America’s “Journey for Justice” make their way along U.S. 1 in Ashland on route to Washington. The nearly 1,000-mile trek, organized by the national NAACP for justice, equality and voting rights, came through Richmond last week, where a rally and teach-ins were held. Please turn to B2 for coverage and more photos.

Moses Eugene Malone, the Petersburg native and basketball icon whose talent took him directly from high school to the pros, died of apparent heart failure while sleeping Sunday, Sept. 13, 2015. The three-time NBA Most Valuable Player died in Norfolk, where he was to participate in a charity golf tournament with the Still Hope Foundation, an organization founded by NBA referee Tony Brothers and his wife, Monica, to assist single mothers in Hampton Roads. Mr. Malone, 60, who resided in Houston, had been treated days earlier for an irregular heartbeat and was wearing a heart monitor when he was found unresponsive in a Norfolk hotel room. The state medical examiner’s office said Mr. Malone died of natural causes and listed those causes as hypertensive and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Ranked with the greatest of all time, Mr. Malone was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2001, the first year he was eligible for the honor. But before gaining celebrity status, he was just another youngster — albeit a towering one — grow-

Relocate police statue? Richmonders can vote

The public is being asked to vote on where to move a Richmond statue paying tribute to city police officers killed in the line of duty. For 28 years, the statue of an officer carrying a child has stood in a landscaped area on North 7th Street near the Richmond Coliseum. Glenwood W. Burley, 73, a retired police officer, wants the statue to be relocated. He says the statue goes unnoticed at its current location. He also says that the city fails to remove litter and allows bushes and other plants around the statue to become overgrown, adding to its obscurity. He believes the statue would be more visible and get better care if it were moved. Mr. Burley Mr. Burley and a committee he has organized have come up with a list of 15 suggested sites. He wants city residents to vote on the list. Mr. Burley says the results will be presented to Mayor Dwight C. Jones and City Council. Here are the suggested new sites: Allen Avenue and Broad Street; Carillon area of Byrd Park; Forest Hill Park; Jefferson Davis Highway; John Marshall Courts Building; Kanawha Plaza; Libby Hill Park, Libby Hill Terrace; Lombardy Street and Overbrook Road; Monument Avenue; Old City Hall; Richmond Police Training Academy; Tredegar Iron Works; Virginia Museum of Fine Arts; or the Virginia War Memorial. The other option: To leave the statue where it is. Here’s how to vote: Call Mr. Burley, (804) 320-0940 or (804) 380-4002, or call the office of Richmond Police Chief Alfred Durham (804) 646-6700. Chief Durham is a member of Mr. Burley’s statue relocation committee. — JEREMY M. LAZARUS

Special needs advocate gets new hearing Kandise Lucas, a veteran advocate for special needs children, is going to be able to fight her arrest on trespassing at a Chesterfield County school. A judge on Tuesday allowed Ms. Lucas to withdraw her previous Alford plea in the case and set a hearing for Nov. 17 in a case that could determine whether Chesterfield officials flouted federal law and state policy in charging her, said her attorney, Joseph D. Morrissey. Chesterfield General District Court Judge Pamela O’Berry agreed to allow the case to go to trial after hearing testimony that Ms. Lucas never accepted the Alford plea on July 7. An Alford plea means a defendant maintains his or her innocence but admits the prosecution has enough evidence to convict him or her. According to testimony Tuesday, Judge Ms. Lucas O’Berry did not directly question Ms. Lucas as to whether she agreed to the Alford plea, accepting only the representation of Ms. Lucas’ former attorney, Alex Taylor, that she did. Mr. Morrissey said Ms. Lucas did not want to accept the plea and is eager to contest the charge. Ms. Lucas has been banned from serving as an advocate for special needs children in Chesterfield County and was arrested in April at Meadowbridge High School after she went to the school on behalf of a student whose parent asked her to attend as an advocate. The state Department of Education has issued a memo stating that school systems cannot ban advocates. Separately, the prosecutor is asking the judge to determine if Ms. Lucas should be held in contempt for violating a court order by speaking at a Chesterfield County School Board meeting Aug. 25. That issue also is to be heard Nov. 17. “It’s just ridiculous. This shows the kind of animus Ms. Lucas is facing,” Mr. Morrissey said. — JEREMY M. LAZARUS

6 local black businesses to cash in on UCI races Continued from A1

Richmond 2015 and city officials have estimated the bike races will generate about $135 million in economic impact in the Richmond area and another $23 million to $30 million across the state. Black-owned businesses, long neglected by city and state officials in procurement efforts, had hoped to see more inclusion for the bike races. Tammy D. Hawley, a spokesperson for Richmond Mayor Dwight C. Jones, said he had asked Richmond 2015 to develop a minority business plan for the bike races, and they “adopted” an inclusion rate of 25 percent or more for womenand minority-owned businesses. She referred the Free Press to Richmond 2015 officials to find out how much they have spent with black-owned businesses for the UCI races. In response to several Free Press queries, Richmond 2015 spokesperson

Paul Shanks declined to say how much the nonprofit will spend with blackowned businesses. He also declined to give the total number of vendors involved in the multimillion-dollar venture and what they expect to be paid. “Richmond 2015 has always been committed to engaging the many excellent businesses that call our region home,” he stated in a Sept. 3 email. “However, our policy prevents us from sharing any contractual details of vendor relationships.” He added: “To date, more than 50 percent of the organization’s total discretionary spending has been with SWaM certified companies, including many businesses that are African-American owned.” SWaM stands for small, women and minority-owned businesses.

Center in Downtown, while one starts at Kings Dominion in Doswell and the other begins at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden on Lakeside Avenue in Henrico County. However, all of the races finish Downtown on Broad Street at the Convention Center. Races begin after 8:45 a.m. and the morning rush hour. They conclude before the evening commute. The shortest event is the 14-mile Women’s Junior Time Trial, for women under age 19, to be held 10 a.m. Monday, Sept. 21. This race should wrap up in about an hour and a half. The longest event is the Men’s Elite Road Race at 9 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 27. It is the last and largest race, spanning about 160 miles and will take more than six hours to complete. Two of the best spots for viewing the races: Monument Avenue and Libby Hill at 23rd Street. Don’t worry if the crowd beats you there. UCI is providing several fan zones along the courses. Fan zones are located at the start/finish line of each race. Each fan zone will offer closed circuit TV and the opportunity to purchase food and beverages. In addition, grandstand seating and VIP hospitality areas will be available along the finish line. The American Team

In an update, Virginia State University has released its fall enrollment figures. On Sept. 10, officials stated 4,632 validated undergraduate and graduate students, or students who had fully paid their bills, are enrolled. That total is down 7.8 percent from the 5,025 students enrolled in the fall of 2014. It also represents the smallest enrollment at the university since 2001, according to data from the State Council of Higher Education. VSU spokesman Tom Reed said the good news is that the school had projected 4,613 students this fall, meaning “we have exceeded our projection.” In 2001, the school reported a fall enrollment of 4,638 students, the last time total enrollment fell below 4,700 students, according to SCHEV data. VSU’s enrollment figure includes 790 freshmen, the smallest freshman class in more than 10 years. As the Free Press reported last week, enrollment continues to decline at Virginia’s two public historically black universities, VSU and Norfolk State.

ing up in the Heights neighborhood of Petersburg. From such humble roots, no one then could have predicted his future greatness. His home-away-from-home was the asphalt basketball courts at Virginia Avenue Elementary School, which is now closed. “Mo was a fun-loving guy — a jokester — but he didn’t say much,” recalled close friend Ed Robinson. “In fact, if you didn’t see him, you wouldn’t know he was around.” Virginia Avenue attracted many athletes with impressive resumes from high school and college, as well as players described as street legends. Always on the lookout for stiffer competition, Mr. Malone and others engaged in pick-up games at Lee Park, Fort Lee — “playing the soldiers,” Mr. Robinson said — and Virginia State University “against college guys,” he added. An only child, Mr. Malone lived with his mother, the late Mary Malone, in a modest home a block away from Virginia Avenue on St. Matthew Street. There was plenty of love in the house, but no real father figure. Mary Malone, who died in 2012 in Huntsville, Ala., was a cashier at Safeway, sang in the choir at Community Independent Methodist Church on River Road in Chesterfield where she grew up, and was a renowned cook. She raised her son alone. “Yeah, Mo was poor. We were all poor. But we didn’t know it then,” said the 6-foot-6 Mr. Robinson, who succeeded Mr. Malone as a Petersburg High School center in 1974-75. “Mo never drove a car that I knew of,” he said. “In fact, the first time I ever saw Moses driving was when he came back from Utah. He was driving a Rolls Royce.” • Mr. Malone was a 6-foot-8 high school sophomore when Petersburg High Coach Carl Peal summoned him to play for the Crimson Wave varsity late in the 1971-72 season. Sprouting to 6-foot-10 by the 11th grade, Mr. Malone went on to score 2,124 career points at the school, including 896 as a senior while averaging 35.8 points per game. He combined height with rare quickness and agility, a soft touch around the hoop —dunking wasn’t allowed then — and fierce rebounding at both ends of the floor. Petersburg High’s basketball team was 50-0 his junior and senior seasons en route to back-to-back State Group AAA titles. “Mo was thoughtful and hard working,” recalled Coach Peal. “He ate and drank basketball. Early on, you could tell he wanted to play pro ball. He didn’t say much about college.” Although a prodigious scorer, Mr. Malone was never considered selfish. “Mo liked to move the ball around,” said Coach Peal. “He liked to see the other kids get their names

A business-backed group called the Virginia Children’s Hospital Alliance is spearheading the effort to create the comprehensive, independent hospital. Essentially, the council’s resolution gives the alliance until early December to show this is not a “pipe dream” tying up the valuable 61-acre site on the Boulevard. If there is no progress on the hospital plan, several council members said they want to seek other development options for the land.

Another standout is Kristin Armstrong. Considered one of the best American cyclists, Ms. Armstrong won gold medals at the 2008 and 2012 Olympics. Look for her to compete in the women’s individual time trial. On the men’s side is Taylor Phinney who also has won multiple Olympic and national titles. He’s seeking a championship in the team time trial, the individual time trial and the elite men’s road race. Also keep a lookout for Richmond area native Ben King. Born in Henrico County, Mr. King may have home field advantage as he competes for a championship as one of the five cyclists in the elite men’s category. International Riders to Watch

Lisa Brennauer, 27, of Germany is the current women’s world champion and the cyclist to beat. Last year, she became the women’s world time trial Champion at the World Championships in Ponferrada, Spain. Another German star, Tony Martin, will be the one to watch during the Men’s Time Trial. He suffered a broken collarbone after a crash in July’s Tour de France. He is a three-time winner in the time trials, having secured championships in 2011, 2012 and 2013. Can he replicate that here in Richmond? Events to Enjoy

Many events surrounding the Worlds promise to provide fans with thrills and excitement, including the grand opening ceremonies scheduled from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 18, on Brown’s Island. The ceremony will begin with “American Idol” finalist and Metro Richmond’s own Rayvon Owen singing the national anthem. There also will be a

performance by the Richmond Symphony and an Olympic-style procession featuring a parade of flags by participating nations. Students from Richmond’s Armstrong High School Cycling Corps will assist in carrying the flags. Youths from Henrico County and Hanover County public schools will be participating as well. While the event is free, tickets are required.

This 1985 photo shows Moses Malone going for a dunk over Boston Celtics star Larry Bird in the NBA Eastern Conference finals, which Mr. Malone’s team, the Philadelphia 76ers, ended up losing. Mr. Malone, though, was the leading NBA rebounder for a record fifth straight season.

in the paper.” As the Malone legend grew, so did the crowds. All home games during 1973-74 season, when he was a senior, were moved from the old high school building on Washington Street to Virginia State University’s Daniel Gymnasium. Petersburg High defeated Halifax 59-51 in the 1973 State finals and West Springfield, 50-48, in 1974. Both State events were played at the University of Virginia. The State AAA Player of the Year was rarely quoted in high school. He suffered from a speech impediment and was extremely shy. His teenaged nickname was “Mumbles.” • Mr. Malone was easily the No. 1 recruiting target in America in 1973-74. University of Maryland Coach Lefty Driesell and Norm Sloan of North Carolina State University were among the most persistent suitors. A posse of college scouts camped out in Petersburg, tracking Mr. Malone’s every move. It got to the point that he would sneak out of the house and stay overnight with friends to avoid the constant tug of war for his attention. Also making a pitch for Mr. Malone was Virginia Commonwealth University Coach Chuck Noe, along with his assistant Charlie Moses. “I remember us going to his (Mr. Malone’s) house one Saturday morning real early and Lefty was already there,” recalled Charlie Moses, who also owned Paragon Pharmacy in Richmond’s Oregon Hill. “We knocked on the door, tapped on the window. Lefty tried to keep Moses’ mother from coming to the door. When we finally got in, Lefty went upstairs

with Moses.” It is purely coincidental that Moses Malone and Charlie Moses shared a name. Moses Malone confided in Coach Moses and befriended him for life. Coach Moses, now 91, has a Moses Malone poster that the Hall of Famer signed “To my No. 1 best friend.” They spoke frequently over the decades. Coach Moses, and his influence on Mr. Malone, figured heavily into an in-depth 1979 Sports Illustrated article on Mr. Malone written by Frank DeFord. • Coach Driesell won the Malone sweepstakes but never cashed in. Mr. Malone signed a National Letter of Intent with Maryland, but instead of heading to College Park, he inked a professional contract with the ABA’s Utah Stars. Along with all the college coaches who descended upon Petersburg, there was at least one pro coach — Utah Assistant Coach Larry Creger. It was clearly the smart decision, in Mr. Malone’s unique case, to choose the money up front over a college classroom. With his initial bonus, he bought his mother a new house in Petersburg. The old home was soon condemned. Mr. Malone was the first person to go straight from high school to the pros. To say he was ready for pro ball at age 19 would be an understatement. Appearing in 83 games as a rookie in 1974-75, he averaged 18.8 points and 14.6 rebounds in 38.6 minutes per game. • From Utah, “Big Mo” went on to battle on the low post for the Spirits of St. Louis, Houston, Philadelphia, Washington, Milwaukee and San Antonio, retiring in 1994. His brilliant career included being named MVP in 1979, 1982 and 1983, 12 all-star selections and six rebounding titles, earning the tag “Chairman of the Boards.” He was the playoffs MVP after leading the Philadelphia 76ers to the 1983 crown. Combining skill with a tireless work ethic, he accumulated 29,580 points, snagged 17,834 rebounds and passed for 1,936 assists. Known for his blue-collar, no frills style, he was a hero of the 9-to-5 plugger. During the Sixers’ victory parade in 1983, a group of construction workers in hard hats raised their lunch pails, in unison, offering a tribute to Mr. Malone. • Mr. Malone’s No. 24 jersey is retired in Houston. His NBA rivals included the game’s all-time greats — Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Patrick Ewing, Robert Parish, to name a few. But before that, his No. 24 jersey was retired at Petersburg High, where early on he was banging the boards on Virginia Avenue. Mr. Malone and his former wife, Alfreda, have two sons, Moses Jr., who played basketball at Houston, Texas Tech and South Carolina State universities, and Michael, who played football at Virginia Tech.

Gov. reappoints Justice Roush in latest battle over high court By Jeremy M. Lazarus

Can Justice Jane Marum Roush legally serve? That question now hangs over the latest addition to the Virginia Supreme Court. Yes, says Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe, who just extended Justice Roush’s term on the state’s highest court until at least mid-February. No, say Republican leaders of the General Assembly, who argue the governor’s action to keep Justice Roush on the bench violates the state Constitution. The governor is likely to win this one. The Republican legislators cannot sue, legal experts say, because they have suffered no harm and because they would have to go to the same sevenmember court they claim is illegally constituted because of Justice Roush’s membership.

Caught in the middle is the former Fairfax County Circuit Court judge. The governor originally appointed Justice Roush to the state’s highest court in late July when the legislature was not in session. However, that appointJustice Roush ment expired Wednesday because the General Assembly did not elect her to a 12-year term during its Aug. 17 special session. On Wednesday, the governor reappointed her to serve until the next session of the General Assembly. Unless she wins election at that point, her term would expire 30 days after the session begins in mid-January, a likely scenario.

Gov. McAuliffe acted despite the insistence of Republican leaders that the General Assembly remains in special session. The state Constitution allows the governor to make such an interim appointment only when the General Assembly “is not in session.” House Speaker William J. Howell, R-Stafford, and Senate Majority Leader Thomas K. Norment, R-James City County, claim the legislature is only in recess, and noted that the governor’s reappointment of Justice Roush could “call into question any decisions the court may issue (in which Justice Roush participates) between now and when a new justice is lawfully elected by the General Assembly.” Surprisingly, the governor bypassed Attorney General Mark Herring, officially the state’s top lawyer, and instead is relying on an opinion

from Carlos L. Hopkins, legal counsel to the governor. Based on that opinion, “I have concluded the General Assembly is not in session,” the governor stated. Thus, Gov. McAuliffe said he can make temporary appointments to fill “critical positions … to fulfill my ultimate responsibility to ‘take care that the laws be faithfully executed.’ ” Gov. McAuliffe noted that the purpose of the August special legislative session, to redraw congressional district boundaries, “has lapsed, and the lack of any continuous or pending business has the effect of adjourning the special session. … The members of both bodies (have) left the Capitol and have not returned. … These actions collectively extinguish any claim by the Republican leadership that they remain in session.”

Richmond contractor on Congressional Black Caucus re-entry panel By Jeremy M. Lazarus

A Richmond contractor is headed to Washington to talk up his plan for helping released convicts rebuild their lives by getting involved in the building trades. Kenneth Williams, 66, has been invited to talk about the Adult Alternative Program that he is developing to train exconvicts to renovate houses and qualify for Class C contractor licenses. He will be among four members of a panel that U.S. Rep. Danny K. Davis, D-Ill., will moderate on Saturday, Sept. 19, titled “Returning Citizens: What Really Works in Re-entry?” Other panelists include Dr. Dennis Deer and Victor Dickson, both of Chicago, who work with former inmates and Marilyn K. Davis, a manager with the New Leaf-New Life program for ex-convicts in Birmingham, Ala.

The program is part of the Congressional Black Caucus’ 45th Annual Legislative Conference. Mr. Williams knows how tough recovery from prison can be. He was in and out of prison as a young man. He said he learned masonry in prison and was able to get a fresh start when a contractor gave him a chance in 1983 when he was released. Mr. Williams When his boss died, Mr. Williams said he finished the masonry work at the Richmond Dairy Building in Jackson Ward that was being renovated into apartments. As a result, he was able to develop his own business, Williams Builders Plus, and also start an appliance store on Brookland Park Boulevard. He created the Adult Alternative Program to provide

opportunities for people who need a second chance. That includes creating a training and education academy to provide enrollees with life skills training along with learning construction skills. Mr. Williams said his program is on hold awaiting Mayor Dwight C. Jones’ administration to make good on its promise of support. The administration has put Mr. Williams’ program on the list of nonprofits allowed to purchase for $1 tax-delinquent, abandoned properties the city gains through a court seizure process. He has been notified that the city plans to offer AAP two houses in October, but he is still waiting for the administration to introduce legislation to City Council to begin the process. Mr. Williams also is in talks with the administration about having AAP take over a vacant school building for his training academy, but that project has yet to move forward.

State hospital group lays groundwork for more money By Joey Matthews

Virginians face the possibility of losing access to health care as some hospitals and health care providers face cuts or closure due to financial strains. And health care workers are worried they may lose their jobs if health care and medical facilities are forced to cut back on services or close. The Virginia Hospital and Healthcare Association believes there is a ready cure for the ailment. The association launched a statewide public awareness campaign this week to inform the public and poli-

cymakers about the serious financial pressures facing Virginia hospitals and health systems, and their potential impact on jobs, the economy and access to health care throughout the commonwealth. Through the campaign, association members hope to convince balking Virginia legislators, particularly Republicans who have fought Medicaid expansion, to relieve some of the pressure by leveraging available federal resources. They outlined their plan at a news conference Wednesday at Bon Secours Richmond Community Hospital in

the East End. VHHA officials said they are timing their campaign in advance of the November elections and prior to the next General Assembly session in January. Nearly one-third of Virginia hospitals had negative operating margins in 2013, officials said, a byproduct of growing charity care and bad debt expenses, and Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement shortfalls. Virginia hospitals were shortchanged $1.5 billion in 2013 due to reimbursement inadequacy and uncompensated care, officials said.

It’s also important to realize, they point out, that federal law requires hospitals to treat patients who come into the emergency room, regardless of their ability to pay. It is unclear, however, whether the growing number of Virginians now covered by health insurance because of the federal Affordable Care Act has had an impact on reducing hospitals’ charity care outlays. The association said, however, that hospitals face ACA-related cuts which aren’t being offset in Virginia. The VHHA represents more than 100 hospitals across the common-

wealth and 30 health delivery systems. In 2013, the most recent year for which complete data is available, Virginia hospitals directly employed 115,000 people and accounted for $36 billion in economic activity, officials said. The VHHA also unveiled a new online tool — Community Health Legislative Dashboards — that enables users to review key health and demographic statistics grouped by localities that overlap legislative districts throughout Virginia. The portal can be found at www. vhha.com/advocacy/communityhealth-legislative-dashboards.

On the races Why is it that we wait until guests come before we bring out the good dishes? With the arrival this week of the UCI Road World Championships and thousands of national and international cyclists, the City of Richmond has shown that it, too, suffers from the same dippy syndrome of waiting for guests before bringing out the good stuff. Like family members, Richmond residents and taxpayers are asking: What about us? Don’t we count? Why does it take a bike race for the City of Richmond to undertake the array of projects that enhance the look and feel of our city? Don’t we, the residents and workers in Richmond, deserve the good stuff, too? In Richmond, what we see as “good stuff” includes these projects accomplished in a recent flurry of activity: Repaving miles of city streets; erecting pedestrianfriendly walkovers for busy Main Street and Franklin Street around Virginia Commonwealth University; planting flowers and placing giant flowerpots to spruce up the entryways from the interstate into Downtown; and constructing the magnificent Richmond sign with a blue wave at the Interstate 95-64 split to welcome travelers to the river city. Yes, Southern hospitality, simple courtesy and home training dictate that you make sure visitors feel welcome. But it sure will feel good to have these quality-of-life enhancements around when the company goes home. Here are a few more suggestions: • Add a pedestrian walkover on Lombardy Street by the Virginia Union University campus. Make it and the walkovers on the VCU campus permanent. • Allow pop-up businesses and concessions, including food trucks, along the Downtown riverfront every weekend during the summer. • Add more colorful Richmond wave signs to the major western, eastern and northern entryways to the city. To his credit, Mayor Dwight C. Jones asked that 25 percent of the $20 million spent on these bike races be spent with businesses owned by minorities and women. When the races are over and the books are closed, we challenge race organizers to release the details on whether they met that request — to the tune of how much — and in areas beyond discretionary spending. We all have an obligation to make Richmond the city we all deserve — a livable, enjoyable place with opportunity for all.

Sanders in the lion’s den Hats off to Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders. Earlier this week, the U.S. senator from Vermont went into the proverbial lion’s den of religious fundamentalists at the late Rev. Jerry Falwell’s ultraconservative Liberty University in Lynchburg. And like Daniel in the Bible, he came out unscathed. In fact, he apparently gained the respect — if not the votes — of many students at the college. In speaking Monday to a convocation of 12,000 people, Sen. Sanders didn’t try to hide or downplay the political and religious beliefs that peg him as the most progressive candidate in the 2016 presidential contest. In fact, he described himself as a “not particularly religious socialist’ — he is a non-practicing Jew — who supports same-sex marriage and a woman’s right to choose an abortion. “I understand that the issues of abortion and gay marriage are issues you feel very strongly about,” Sen. Sanders told the gathering. “We disagree on those issues. “But let me suggest that there are other issues out there that are of enormous consequence to our country and the entire world that maybe, just maybe, we do not disagree on,” he said. That common ground? The desire to work for a more just world, he told the students. Based on Jesus’ golden rule from Scripture and the prophet Amos’ warning against injustice, he said it would be “hard to make a case that (America is) a just society.” “How can we talk about justice when we turn our backs on the children of our country?” he asked, noting that 20 percent of all American children — and 40 percent of African-American youngsters — live in poverty. He talked about other justice issues, including “the grotesque level of income and wealth inequality in our country, the collapse of the middle class, the high level of childhood poverty and climate change.” We see a stark difference between Sen. Sanders and many of the other presidential hopefuls, particularly the GOP candidates. It is this: He speaks to people and about people whose views differ from his with respect instead of derision and ad hominem attacks. At Liberty University, where U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz chose to launch his GOP presidential campaign last March, Sen. Sanders was unafraid to step into the gap that divided him religiously and politically from his audience. And he started building bridges from a place of respect. Would we get that from a President Trump? It’s doubtful. What the nation needs now is someone interested in finding common ground, without caving, without pandering, without disrespect, while maintaining the strength of his or her own beliefs and self-respect. Sen. Sanders is looking better and better.

Another government shutdown Congress must approve a budget by Oct. 1, or our government will shut down. That means that people will not be paid and, technically, government departments will cease to operate. Social Securitypayments, veterans’ benefits and more will cease to be paid. Literally, government will shut down. Whenever we get to this brinkmanship, Congress approves a continuing resolution that provides temporary funding at current levels, or enforces an across-the-board reduction of a certain percent. Sometimes the cuts are established so that the military takes smaller cuts than other departments. The bottom line is that lawmakers figure out how to apply a Band-Aid to a hemorrhaging leg. The bad news is that the problem does not go away. The good news is that it keeps us going for a few minutes. Why are House Republicans so determined to have a budget showdown? Part of it

is their determination to end federal funding for Planned Parenthood. They refuse to understand that, in addition to providing abortion service, Planned Parenthood provides basic women’s health services, including gynecological examinations. They provide these health services in areas where

Julianne Malveaux they are not available. Abortions represent just a fraction of what they offer. But, based on a set of bogus videos, some Republicans are using those videos to posture about abortion. Somebody needs to speak up for Planned Parenthood. Unless they do, this is going to be a rook on the shutdown chessboard. Then there is the issue, always, about budget cuts and the difference between domestic spending and military spending. In order to accept the Obama budget, Congress will have to lift the debt ceiling. They don’t want to. The Republican rap is we need more fiscal discipline. Many of these folks will take to the floor of Congress or of the Senate to rail about irrespon-

sible spending. Their drama impedes the Oct. 1 deadline, and they know it. This is an opportunity for many Republicans who are presidential candidates — Ted Cruz, Jeb Bush, Donald Trump and Ben Carson, to name a few — to show their stuff. They want to stand out from their opponents, as well as from this administration. They hope that C-SPAN or some other media is there to capture their vapid remarks. They pray that their passionate nonsense will make the evening news. If they have the slightest bit of sense, they will help pass this budget. Perhaps, after they’ve blown off enough steam, they will. The discussion about the debt ceiling and the division between domestic and military spending is a recurrent one. Some members of the House and the Senate have mixed feelings around the deal that our country has cut with Iran. We have limited Iran’s ability to manufacture nuclear weapons, and we have imposed some checks and balances to keep them to their word. How do you cut a deal with the devil? Can we really trust Iraq? For the longest time I have had mixed feelings about

Fair housing’s unfinished business In early September, public policy experts, housing advocates, civil rights leaders, academicians and others came together to listen, learn and craft a way to advance housing rights and opportunities. Convened by HUD’s Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity, the conference celebrated major milestones in the fight for fair housing, recalled noteworthy achievements and itemized all that still remains to be accomplished. As co-sponsor of the 1968 Fair Housing Act, Walter Mondale, former vice president and U.S. senator from Minnesota, termed the act’s passage as “one of the great miracles in modern history.” His keynote address also spoke to contemporary challenges to dismantle residential segregation and governmental policies that deny equal housing. “The Fair Housing Act has unfinished business,” noted Mr. Mondale. “When high-income black families cannot qualify for applied loans and are steered away from white suburbs, the goals of the Fair Housing Act are not fulfilled.” “When the federal and state governments will pay to

build new suburban highways, streets, sewers, school and parks, but then allow these communities to exclude affordable housing, the goals of the Fair Housing Act are not fulfilled,” he continued. “When we build

Charlene Crowell most new subsidized housing in poor black and Latino neighborhoods, the goals of the Fair Housing Act are not fulfilled.” Many of Mr. Mondale’s concerns were echoed by other presenters. For example, according to U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch, in the last three years, the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division filed more than 100 lawsuits, including 69 pattern or practices lawsuits, to combat housing and lending discrimination. Housing testing, a key tool used to determine whether housing providers are complying with federal fair housing laws, has resulted in more than $13 million in damages and civil penalties awarded since 1991. “One investigation found that a nationwide mortgage lender has systematically charged higher interest rates to Hispanic and African-American borrowers,” noted Attorney General Lynch. “Another revealed that

city officials, law enforcement and a local housing authority in Los Angeles County had engaged in a targeted campaign to discourage African-Americans from moving to and living in the area by enforcing the Housing Choice Voucher program in a prejudicial manner.” In another conference session, Steven Rosenbaum, head of housing and civil enforcement at the Justice Department, warned of more redlining cases. “Based on what is on my docket right now, stayed tuned,” said Mr. Rosenbaum. “There are still lenders who seem to think it is OK to steer minority borrowers to certain loan officers or certain brokers who they know will charge more.” Later this month, new mortgage data will be released as part of the annual Home Mortgage Disclosure Act report. The most recent report — for 2013 — showed low levels of lending for borrowers of color. In 2015, our quest for fair housing is far from finished. The journey ahead will require the same level of principled fervor and determination that was amassed many years ago. May we also find the will and the way to continue the journey for justice. Charlene Crowell is communications manager with the Center for Responsible Lending.

the deal, mostly because I really think that part of the deal should be to release American citizens, such as Washington Post reporter Jason Rezaian, who are being held in Iraq. After much contemplation, I am persuaded that the Iran deal is better than anything we’ve had until now. We’re going to deal with a free-lance devil, or a devil with a contract. We can’t verify a thing with the freelance devil. It is almost impossible that Congress will pass the 12 bills that are part of our budget. Given that, the next best choice is to maintain the status quo, or impose a percentage cut until a budget deal is struck. Planned Parenthood and Iran should not be part of the conversation.

4 ways for young voters to have impact The younger you are as a registered voter in the United States, the less likely you are to cast your ballot. And the more you may have to lose by not doing so. According to the latest data from the U.S. Census Bureau, voters ages 18 to 24 consistently have the lowest turnout, demonstrating an overall trend toward disengagement. While that age group’s participation spiked in 2008 for President Obama’s first election, the

trend has once again headed downward. For good reason. Only 49 percent of people ages 18 to 29 were registered to vote in the 2010 midterm elections. The rest either weren’t interested or didn’t know how to register. However, debt from wars and unadjusted retirement benefits is being piled on our future. Adults make the choices and children get sent the unpaid portion of the bill with interest. It seems even informed, motivated

Hate crimes, racist speech should be condemned In America, all youths should be able to live without fear and the threat of race-based violence. Sadly, reports of explicit racism and violence directed at Latinos are on the rise. Just a few weeks ago, our nation lamented the violent assault on a homeless Boston man who was beaten as his assailants hurled racial epithets. Most recently, a 14-year-old in Indianapolis was viciously attacked and shot in the back on his way home from the grocery store. Brian Zaragoza was not at the “wrong place at the wrong time.” He was a victim of a targeted hate crime. As a result of the traumatic assault, Brian will live with a bullet lodged in his back for the rest of his life. His attack should provoke widespread outrage and a public rebuke of racially motivated crimes. Like African-Americans and other people of color, Latinos in the United States are increasingly

falling victim to hate crimes. These crimes are fueled in part by harmful, racist rhetoric. Such rhetoric is not without consequences. Hateful rhetoric — whether spewed by conservative politicians like Donald Trump or by assailants — is fueled by institutional racism. That children and adults alike are increasingly targeted based on their race and/or perceived immigration status is reprehensible. But we have the power to effect change. We can only do this by refusing to stand in silence. It’s time to more strongly condemn not just hate crimes, but also the racist rhetoric that fuels them.

youths often feel powerless to make a meaningful impact. If they were to believe they can drive broad positive change, they’d be more inclined to communicate their thoughts to decision makers and participate electorally. Here are four ways for younger voters to have an impact:

• Vote and encourage your friends to vote. • Keep up with current events. • Volunteer for a candidate’s campaign. • Express your views to lawmakers through letters, calls and emails. JONATHAN BANNON MAHER Washington

Serena loses at U.S. Open, but remains a champion Reuters

Bill Kostroun/Associated Press

Serena Williams reacts after losing a point to Roberta Vinci of Italy during her disappointing semifinal match Sept. 11 at Arthur Ashe Stadium at the U.S. Open.

NEW YORK CITY Serena Williams had been a vulnerable conqueror at this year’s majors, living dangerously and dicing with defeat on numerous occasions as she tried to become only the fourth woman to complete a calendar Grand Slam. Her luck finally ran out Sept. 11 at the U.S. Open on a court where she had not been beaten since 2011. In her 12th, three-set contest of the electrifying 2015 run, Serena met her match in Italian doubles expert Roberta Vinci, who ended the American’s bid for a share of tennis history with a shocking 2-6, 6-4, 6-4 upset victory in the semifinals. Then on Saturday, Sept. 12, in an all-Italian women’s singles final, Flavia Pennetta topped Vinci 7-6, 6-2. Pennetta then shocked everyone by announcing she was retiring from the sport. In the men’s final Sept. 13, No. 1 seed

Novak Djokovic won his 10th Grand Slam title with a hard-fought 6-4, 5-7, 6-4, 6-4 win over Roger Federer. Serena, dominating the sport at the ripe old tennis age of 33, repeated over and over to reporters after her loss that she felt no pressure in trying to add her name to a list comprised of Maureen Connolly (1953), Margaret Court (1970) and Steffi Graf (1988). She tried her best to maintain that mantra after her stunning semifinal defeat on an Arthur Ashe Stadium court that had been so kind to her in the past. “I don’t want to talk about how disappointing it is for me,” Serena said during a touchy postmatch conference during which she repeatedly refused to answer questions. “I told you guys I don’t feel pressure,” she insisted. “I never felt pressure. I never felt that pressure to win here. I said that from the beginning.” On court, the world No. 1 appeared impa-

tient, flustered and weighed down by expectations against 32-year-old Vinci, over-hitting groundstrokes and second serve returns in an effort to overwhelm and discourage her. But Vinci refused to shy away from the daunting challenge. It was only the third loss in 56 matches for Serena this year and came against an opponent who had never taken a set from Serena in four previous meetings and was appearing in her first Grand Slam semifinal. Despite the defeat, Serena has nothing to be ashamed of after an extraordinary season produced Australian Open, French Open and Wimbledon wins to take her career Grand Slam total to 21, third on the all-time list behind Court (24) and Graf (22). Her Wimbledon triumph enabled her to boast possession of all four grand slam titles at the same time for the second “Serena Slam” of her career after first accomplishing the feat when she won the 2003 Australian Open.

Blake vows to use police takedown as ‘catalyst for change’ Free Press wire reports

NEW YORK CITY The New York City Police Department on Friday released a security camera video showing former tennis star James Blake being tackled, thrown to the ground and handcuffed by an undercover officer in a case of mistaken identity. The incident occurred as Mr. Blake, formerly the world’s fourth-ranked player, was calmly standing by the entrance of a midtown Manhattan hotel, waiting for a car to take him to the U.S. Open. Mr. Blake, 35, standing alone by the entrance of the Grand Hyatt hotel on 42nd Street on Sept. 9, was rushed by the officer, who gave no warning or identification. Mr. Blake is African-American while the officer, James Frascatore, is white. The incident revived questions over excessive police force that have reverberated around the country after a series of police killings of unarmed African-American men. Officer Frascatore has a history of excessive force complaints, including at least three filed against him with the Civilian Complaint Review Board in 2013. They reveal a pattern, with residents claiming they were detained without explanation and mistreated despite complying. After the incident involving Mr. Blake, several lawyers and New York residents criticized the police department for not punishing Officer Frascatore before he was involved in another rough arrest. After giving no resistance, Mr. Blake was handcuffed and led out of the view of the camera. The video was released by the NYPD’s Internal Affairs Bureau, which said in a brief statement that they had interviewed Mr. Blake and given his lawyers a copy. “The investigation is still ongoing,” NYPD Deputy Commissioner Stephen Davis said in a statement accompanying the video. Police have said Mr. Blake had been mistakenly identified by “a cooperating witness” as being involved in a ring dealing in fraudulently purchased cellphones. They added that allegations

Reuters

Mr. Blake, in a statement released through his lawyer Kevin Marino, said he believes the vast majority of police officers are dedicated public servants who operate appropriately, but what happened to him “is not uncommon.” He called for the officer’s firing, saying he is the kind of officer who “tarnishes the badge.” NYPD Police Commissioner Bill Bratton and Mayor Bill de Blasio have publicly apologized to Mr. Blake.

Commissioner Bratton said he was concerned that no report had been made of Mr. Blake’s arrest and detention, a violation of department policy. Mr. Blake was released within roughly 15 minutes, but suffered a cut to his left elbow and bruises to his left leg.

Personality: Lindsey N. Shavers Spotlight on Jack and Jill Mid-Atlantic Teen President It’s hard to believe Lindsey N. Shavers finds enough hours in the day to fulfill all her leadership responsibilities. The senior in Henrico High School’s International Baccalaureate program was a human dynamo this summer, wearing many leadership hats. “I was busy,” she understates. Lindsey completed her summer itinerary earlier this week, representing the MidAtlantic Region of Jack and Jill of America Inc. in her capacity as Mid-Atlantic Teen Regional President, attending the On the Hill Legislative Summit and National Teen Board Retreat in Washington. In addition, Lindsey participated in a weeklong residential seminar at the U.S. Naval Academy this summer, interned at the Downtown YMCA, attended a weeklong Student Leaders Summit in Washington as part of the Bank of America Charitable Foundation’s Student Leaders Program and offered a six-week Explore RVA photography camp to 10 girls at the Peter Paul Development Center. In her role as regional president for Jack and Jill, Lindsey presides over all Mid-Atlantic Region teen meetings in the organization that was founded in 1938 in Philadelphia by 20 mothers who wanted to provide social, cultural and educational opportunities for African-American children ages 2 to 19. She has been a member of Jack and Jill since she was 3. She also says she serves on Jack and Jill’s seven-member National Teen Board and is the only teen serving on the Jack and Jill Foundation Board. She is an ex officio member. Lindsey also works with the Mothers’Mid-Atlantic Regional officers and host chapters in planning the 2015 Mid-Atlantic Region Fall Workday in Portsmouth and the 63rd Annual MidAtlantic Region Teen Conference scheduled for June 23-26, 2016, in Portsmouth. She previously served as teen president of the Richmond Chapter of Jack and Jill last year when the teen group won first place for chapter programming in the region. Their projects included “From Farmville to Ferguson,” a Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day program. Let’s meet this week’s Personality, Lindsey N. Shavers: Date and place of birth: Dec. 28 in Richmond. Current home: Henrico County. Extracurricular activities: Girl Scouts, Henrico High School student government, varsity track, piano and National, Math, English and French honor societies. Community involvement: 1. Blue Sky Fund Volunteer and co-creator of RVA Outdoor Teen Leadership Challenge, an “Amazing Race”-type event that I hosted with my Blue Sky Fund Outdoor Leadership Institute crew. We were awarded a Community Foundation Youth Philanthropy Project grant to fund the event. 2. Peter Paul Development Center volunteer and creator of the RVA Explorer Club. I was awarded a Community Foundation Youth Philanthropy Project grant to purchase high-quality camera equipment and establish a photography instruction program for Peter Paul kids. Family: Parents, Gina Burgin and Victor Shavers; sister, Sydney; and brother, Max. Number of Jack and Jill chapters in the Richmond area: Three — Richmond, Midlothian and James River chapters. Number of chapters in the Mid-Atlantic region: 29 chapters across Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina. Number of chapters in the U.S.: Jack and Jill boasts more than 230 chapters nationwide, representing more than 40,000 family members throughout seven regions. Jack and Jill is important because: Our organization advocates on behalf of all kids,

cation plan; help formalize our organization’s social media engagement plan; and develop an e-blast for teens. How I was selected: It was like running for senior class president on steroids. After I was nominated by a teen delegate, I had 24 hours to have my credentials approved, prepare campaign materials, assemble a campaign team, participate in a candidate’s forum, meet as many teens as I could, write my campaign speech and deliver it. I was elected by 29 teen delegates who represent all of the teens in our region. My No. 1 goal as MidAtlantic Teen Regional President: Inspire my peers to lead within Jack and Jill and their respective communities. Strategy for achieving it: By seeking their assistance with planning and executing our Jack and Jill regional conferences, meetings, service projects and social events. All Mid-Atlantic chapter presidents and their teen members are welcome to join my monthly conference calls to share their ideas, volunteer for assignments and meet other teens throughout the region.

not just those whose mothers are members. It also gives young people like me an opportunity to experience the benefits of leadership, volunteer service, philanthropic giving, civic engagement and networking. The opportunities I have this year to help shape programming, platforms and policies that affect teens across the nation are incredible. Major focus of organization today: To invest in the future of all children by creating leadership opportunities for children, raising literacy and mathematical competencies, encouraging cultural consciousness, instilling moral and social responsibility in America’s youths and engaging in national legislative advocacy and service projects. Role as a National Teen Board Member: I will receive presiding officer training and best practices instruction; identify national causes that we should support and develop a communi-

Happenings ‘Journey for Justice’ makes stop in Richmond Photos by Sandra Selllars/Richmond Free Press

Left, Brenda Hale, president of the Roanoke Branch NAACP, takes part in the Sept. 10 rally at Virginia Union University. Right, Elijah ColesBrown, 11, receives the Torah — a Hebrew scroll of the five biblical books of Moses — from Rabbi Amy Schwartzman of Falls Church during the VUU stop on the NAACP’s “Journey for Justice.” The Torah accompanied marchers on the journey.

By Joey Matthews

“The struggles (for civil rights) that our parents and grandparents fought still continue. Those who would take away hard-earned rights take note: A new generation has taken up the challenge. As we march on this America’s ‘Journey for Justice,’we say to everyone, ‘We will not turn around!’ ” With those words, Cornell W. Brooks, national NAACP president and CEO, brought an audience at Virginia Union University to its feet. He spoke last week at a VUU rally marking the arrival in Richmond of marchers on the 860-mile journey to the nation’s capital to push for justice, equality and voting rights. The march began Aug. 1 in Selma, Ala., and ended

Tuesday when participants entered Washington for a rally on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. U.S. Sens. Tim Kaine of Virginia and Bernie Sanders of Vermont, a presidential candidate, were among the array of speakers at the rally. On Wednesday, the marchers capped their journey with a walk to Capitol Hill to call on members of Congress to revitalize and strengthen the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965, to support more sustainable jobs with living wages, to endorse criminal justice reforms and to back education equity and access to health care for all. “We march today as our predecessors marched 50 years ago as an affirmation of our hope and a firm belief that our efforts will bring about change,” Congressman G.K. Butterfield of North Carolina, chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, explained in a release. At the Sept. 10 rally at

VUU, Mr. Brooks, an attorney and fourth-generation minister, told the 150 participants the march was needed to push back against “forces that seem intent on turning back the clock to the days of segregation and Jim Crow.” Dozens of marchers stayed in Richmond through Sept. 12. They walked about 20 miles each day, then returned to Richmond by bus each night to stay at the host church, Grace Baptist, in the upscale, predominately white Windsor Farms neighborhood. The church also hosted teach-ins on the election process, voter suppression and environmental justice. In his speech at VUU, Mr. Brooks called the right to vote “the North Star … in the firmament of our freedoms, in the constellation of our constitutional rights.” “This generation says, ‘We will not allow that light to dim, we will not allow that light to darken … and we will fight for

the right to vote.’ ” Moments after Mr. Brooks’ address, Elijah Coles-Brown, a sixth-grader at Moody Middle School in Henrico County, stole the show as he strode to the VUU stage calling on African-Americans and others to fight for voting rights. “I want you to know that I am 11 years old and that I realize the high price that was paid for us to be where we are today,” he said with the fire of an evangelist. “Our vote is our voice!” he declared as his listeners rose to applaud him. “If we don’t vote, then we are saying nothing.

If we say nothing, we know nothing. If we know nothing, we do nothing, then we cannot fight for our rights.” Fifty years ago, the youthful orator said, “People didn’t sit back and say, ‘No, it is not my job to do this,’” as he called for a rebirth of the courage to tackle the issue. Other speakers included Virginia NAACP President Carmen Taylor of Hampton and former state Sen. Henry L. Marsh III of Richmond. Mr. Marsh’s successor, state Sen. Rosalyn R. Dance of Petersburg, declared, “We are all in for America’s ‘Journey for

Justice,’ ” noting the marchers’ issues mirror those she and her colleagues in the Virginia Legislative Black Caucus fight for in this state. Rabbi Amy Schwartzman of Temple Rodef Shalom in Falls Church capped the event when she passed a Torah — the sacred Hebrew scroll of the five books of Moses — to the impressive young man, an honor for the youth. Journey for Justice marchers carried a Torah during the entire journey to signify the Old Testament story of the Israelites being delivered from enslavement in Egypt.
