Rev Shane Harris, President of the People’s Alliance for Justice, held a Press Conference last week demanding that the San Diego City Attorney’s Office and the San Diego City Council settle its case with Mr. Raymond Wiley. Wiley is a 68 year old man wrongfully arrested, jailed and charged with two felonies for walking with a stick near his Encanto home on June 21, 2017.

This year the San Diego Central Library was once again the location of the Fair Housing Conference.

The one day meeting was sponsored by the San Diego Regional Alliance For Fair Housing consisting of a dedicated group of professionals working together to ensure that all residents in San Diego County have equal access to housing.

The Alliance is comprised of members of the fair housing community, including 18 cities and the County of San Diego along with local government entities. The group has its roots in the early 1980’s when the U.S.

BILL PICKETT INVITATIONAL RODEO

REPARATIONS FOR DESCENDANTS OF THE SLAVE TRADE EMERGES AS

PROVIDES RARE GLIMPSE DEMOCRATS’ CAMPAIGN AT AFRICAN AMERICAN PLATFORM COWBOYS, COWGIRLS

Part XIII

By Stacy M. Brown NNPA Newswire Correspondent

By Lee Eric Smith The New Tri-State Defender

Reparations have fast become a major platform for Democrats seeking the 2020 presidential nomination.

The Bill Pickett Invitational Rodeo saddles up at Agricenter International this weekend, showcasing some of America’s top African-American cowboys and cowgirls. And if you thought black folk don’t go to rodeos, let alone ride bulls and rope calves in them, you’re in for a treat – and a history lesson.

Barbara Love is the local organizer for the Bill Pickett Invitational Rodeo – but she’s better known as “Miss Kitty,” pictured here in a TSD file photo with her horse Silver.

Former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke joined that movement at the recent National Action Network convention when he said he’d support legislation for a slavery reparations commission if he were to win the White House next year.

Long before #OscarsSoWhite became a thing, Barbara Love knew something was off. Like a lot of people, she grew up watching Westerns on TV and at the theatres. It was who she didn’t see that caught her attention.

“It fascinated me because television glorified the cowboy,” said Love, better known as “Miss Kitty” on the See RODEO page 8

Senators Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.), Cory Booker (D-NJ) and former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro have also raised the topic of reparations See SLAVE page 2

With March Madness entering its final stages and the recent college admissions scandal continuing to unfurl, all eyes are on higher education.

Coming into view behind the excitement of the scoreboards and drama of the bribery scandal is a troubling dynamic playing out in real time: Big-time college sports are deepening the inequities faced by black male students seeking higher education.

A new issue brief from the Center for American Progress (CAP), a Washington D.C.based a nonpartisan research and educational institute, paints a vivid portrait of how college athletics distort the reality of black male experiences on college campuses and raises significant concerns about racial equity in college admissions and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).

had a car key, which police said was used to break into cars, even though the key was to his daughter’s car. Mr. Wiley was booked and placed in jail with a $20,000 dollar bond.

Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) appointed the Community Housing Resource Board (CHRB).

HUD had the vision of unifying fair housing efforts in the region and provided early leadership to foster a collaborative approach to affirmatively further fair housing and end discrimination in housing choices.

The National Action Network, San Diego Chapter (NAN), at the time under the leadership of Rev. Harris, stepped in. NAN posted bail and got Mr. Wiley released. The San Diego County District Attorney’s Office refused to press charges, all of which were dropped, and Mr. Wiley, through his attorney, filed a suit against the City of San Diego because of the arrest and mistreatment by police.

Mr. Wiley’s lawsuit was for bail damages, mistreatment and elder abuse. According to Rev Harris, the City Attorney’s Office said they wanted to settle the case, but it has now been two years since the incident. Rev. Harris questioned how the City of San Diego City Council could move for an independent investigation of the Aliah Jenkins case and still not have settled the Raymond Wiley case.

Mr. Wiley, speaking at last week’s press conference, said that the officer was never disciplined; that about two weeks later, that same officer past him while he was walking and smiled at him. At the same press conference, Rev. Harris said that to delay settling this case with an elder is a form of Elder Abuse in and of itself and it should not be happening. Mr. Wiley’s attorney, Mariea Dell”Anno, is waiting to hear from the City Attorney.

NCAA: continued from page 1

Madness Doesn’t End in March: The Surprising Ways College Sports Shortchange Black Men,” analyzes the total number of student athletes per athletic conference and the number of student athletes who receive some form of scholarship or athletic aid at a Power Five institution.

The authors said they found that black men are overrepresented in major revenue-generating sports such as basketball and football – which have the highest risks of physical injury and academic insecurity – but are underrepresented on their campuses and in all other athletic programs.

Money earned by schools during the famed March Madness tournament and the revenue generated from the College Football Playoff (CFP) series, will likely total $1 billionfor the NCAA, according to the report.

Colleges make a significant amount of money as well.

In 2016, the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) sent six schools to the tournament’s round of 16, bringing in

The CHRB later became the Fair Housing Resources Board and eventually changed its name to the San Diego Regional Alliance for Fair Housing (SDRAFFH).

This 4th Annual Fair Housing Conference is held in addition to quarterly meetings to promote fair housing in the region.

This year, as in the past, the conference brought together fair housing practitioners, policy makers, housing advocates and developers, community leaders, and top experts to discuss and explore fair housing discrimination issues and solutions to improving our communities. The participants filled the 9th Floor Conference Room of the Library, which was dedicated to this event.

The keynote speaker, Dr. Manuel

Pastor, Professor of Sociology and American Studies & Ethnicity at the University of Southern California (USC) set the tone with his presentation on the movement of people. He spoke of the number of Mexicans returning to Mexico being greater than those coming to the country, but this fact is often lost due to the number of South and Central American migrants coming here daily. He, as did a number of presenters, had charts and diagrams showing education levels, job movements, wages and career upward mobility.

It was interesting to see that for African Americans, in spite of their educational achievements, their wages never caught up with Whites, even though their education did. The same was true for women in all numbers of cases. Speaking as an observer, it appeared that the unseen elephant in the room was racial disparity.

While never clearly stated, it was a statistically present fact. It was clear from this conference that jobs and income, determined by economic activity, clearly determined where one could or would be able to afford to live.

According to Stephen Russel, Executive Director of the San Diego Housing Federation and the moderator of Session Two on “Emerging Trends in Housing,

a collective $39.9 million for the conference.

Simply making it to the March Madness tournament can bring a school more than $1 million in revenue – even if its team doesn’t win a single game.

What receives less attention, say the report’s authors, and is less easily observed on a TV screen, athletic court, or ballfield are the ways that college sports play into and obscure the inequities that black male students face in higher education.

And, while black men generate profit for their colleges and the NCAA, they see none of those benefits trickle down. For the first time, the CAP said it’s calling for compensating college athletes in revenue-generating sports.

“The NCAA relies on the athletic abilities of black men to generate revenue but places little capital in their ability to complete a college degree,” said Sara Garcia, senior research and advocacy manager for Postsecondary Education at CAP and co-author of the issue brief.

“It is time for these backwards, inequitable priorities to change,” she said.

the Economy and Equity,” no more than one out of a limited number of new jobs in the region would provide enough income to afford San Diego residents an apartment, let alone, purchase a home.

Some of the other speakers were Kirby Brady, Director of Research, San Diego Regional Economic Development Corporation (EDC), Jim Bliesner, Director of the Center for Urban Economic Design and former Executive Director of the San Diego County Reinvestment Task Force; Dr. Kyra R.Greene, Executive Director of the Center for Policy Initiatives, as well as Hasan Ikhraa, Executive Director of SANDAG here in San Diego County, and Laura Choi, Research Manager in Community Development Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco.

“Not only do I support it, but I have legislation that actually does it,” Booker said earlier this month during a Town Hall. “In fact, I’ve got the only legislation, I think, in the entire Congress that Columbia University says would virtually eliminate the racial wealth gap in our country,” Booker said of his so-called “Baby Bonds” proposal.

The conference’s collective presentations clearly expressed a concern for fair housing as well as an awareness of racial disparity and the importance of economic development as a factor that will determine who builds what and who is able to afford that which might be built. This was a productive day, not designed to provide immediate answers to today’s housing crisis, but a very necessary planning tool for tomorrow’s solutions.

“The experiences of black male student athletes compared with those of their white counterparts stand out in sharp relief,” Garcia further noted.

The report, which can be viewed here,includes findings like: • Black men comprise the minority of athletes in NCAA athletic programs.

• The majority of black male athletes generate revenue, but they do not profit.

• White men have more opportunities to earn athletic scholarships.

• A disproportionately large share of black men on college campuses are athletes.

“Colleges and the NCAA must do more to prioritize academics and post-graduation outcomes above athletics, as well as ensure more equitable representation for black men on their campuses,” Garcia said.

“Failing to do so would send a clear message to student-athletes, and student-athletes of color in particular, that their academic success is secondary to the benefits they provide in their sports,” she said.

in this early phase of their presidential campaigns.

Slavery and the Atlantic slave trade are among the most heinous crimes against humanity committed in the modern era, yet no one-time slave society in the Americas has paid reparations to former slaves or their descendants, notes historian, author and history professor Dr. Ana Lucia Araujo, who authored the groundbreaking 2017 book, “Reparations for Slavery and the Slave Trade: A Transnational and Comparative History.”

At 288 pages, Araujo’s book counts as arguably the most in-depth and carefully researched material on the subject of reparations.

Reviewers have given it more acclaim.

James Walvin, Professor of History Emeritus at the University of York in the United Kingdom, noted the trans-Atlantic debate about reparations for slavery has long needed a serious historical explanation.

In Dr. Araujo’s book, “We have the answer,” Walvin said, adding that the book is a “sweeping study, grounded in meticulous research, [which] explains how and why reparations have become so pressing a modern-day issue.”

“It is essential reading for everyone concerned – whatever their viewpoint,” Walvin added.

A history professor at Howard University, Dr. Araujo looks at slavery reparations movements that reaches across time and space and she considers enslavement, emancipation, and the continued refusal of every single slave-owning society in the Atlantic world-the USA, Britain, France, Brazil, Portugal, and Spain, especially to address the centuries of theft that made them wealthy and built the modern global political economy.

“The [presidential] candidates did not start addressing the issue suddenly. But there is now a momentum,” Dr. Araujo said.

“We know that the history of demands of reparations is an old one. When in March 2014 CARICOM released its 10-point plan demanding reparations to European nations, it had an immediate impact on the United States public sphere,” she said.

The San Diego City Attorney Needs to Settle With Mr. Wiley Re: 2019 MACC

April 6, 2019 Open Letter:

By Dr. John E. Warren Publisher

Rev. Shane Harris and Mr. Raymond Wiley are right to bring public attention to his treatment by the San Diego City Attorney’s Office. The issue stops at the desk of Mira Elliott, the City Attorney, no matter who the case has been assigned to. We are sure that the City of San Diego has settled a number of cases in the last two

years, most of which were probably for more than is at stake in the Wiley case. The San Diego City Council can not approve a settlement if one has not been presented to them.

Mira Elliott, settle the Wiley case and please do so quickly. We will be watching.

The City of San Diego and Skate World

By Dr. John E. Warren Publisher

It is a good thing that the San Diego City Council rejected the sale of the Skateworld property in Linda Vista. But it would be even nicer if the City of San Diego identified and built a municipal skating rink comparable to the San Diego Gymnasium and municipal pool in Balboa Park. With the interest in skating, the facility would be as important as Petco Park and the Central Library. It

would also pay for itself in short order. Let’s get to work on this idea and do something for the little people for a change, since the money folks have their stadiums and parks under development.

In referencing: “Operational Unity” Editorial Following up on the recent editorial from Dr. Warren describing the problem of unity (without) Operation, the Publisher is on point. In addition, might I add some plus degrees of understanding.

Our original beginning as a race of people coexisted, I believe, without bitter emotional reactions to circumstances or events that may have occurred.

Now-a-days we are so emotional as a people we respond sensitively to situations and what people say reflectively without any cognitive thinking. Then we harbor resentments that leads up to the bitterness and hate, and if it’s within any organization, it will be the spreading of negative energy.

What I have come to experience is that for me to work with a party or organization whose views and opinions are different from mine, I must first become “humble and aware.” Humble because humility is a sign of respect to the other party, aware because consciously I must be able to intelligently discuss what may or may not be agreed upon. Does this make sense? Humility encompasses pride and arrogance, as well as ego; the other feeling which clouds the better judgement of decision making.

Operational Unity can effectively work the minute we all practice humility and meekness amongst one another.

When this begins we will 1) not look at and perceive everyone with a difference as our open enemy, 2) not have our thoughts focused on the things we dislike, disagree with or hate about that person or entity that has a common goal and or desire we want to achieve ; and more importantly, 3) be able to discuss clearly our aims and objectives as well as agree to disagree about these differences in order to operate in unity for the common good of the whole.

I am no sage or sanctimonious being, however, I can attest to this truth through the attributes of humility and meekness – as characteristics that work. We should all try it sometime, you will like it.

(TriceEdneyWire.com)—For many years many Black people have been denied opportunities for no reason other than the color of their skin.

I’ve been guilty like many others who said, “It must be nice to have White privilege!” Now, I’m not so sure. I’d rather not have anybody knocking on my door with evidence that I’ve violated the law by cheating somebody to get something I didn’t deserve. In other words, I wouldn’t feel good about stealing something from someone who was more deserving via honest means than I was.

Most of us thought White privilege was a good thing for those with the privilege and

Ms. Claudia C. Abarca, Deputy Director City of San Diego Public Works Department, Contracts Claudia, the outreach announcement for the MACC, should be ran in the San Diego Voice and Viewpoint Community Newspaper. I just saw your announcement and thought that it was a Project MAAC (Metropolitan Area Advisory Committee) announcement of the non-profit Chula Vista well respected Latino group. Although this is a well-intended initiative, and it may not be targeted toward the underrepresented African Americans in contracting and employment (that is so-called prohibited by a Prop 209 law), it may miss the objective as a Dog and Pony show. The City has been doing these kinds of events and we are seeing decreasing numbers of underrepresented African Americans, women and other excluded groups. Although Latinos are eating well, which we are grateful that one of our minority group is getting a brake, it’s now creating another set of problems where throughout San Diego’s construction industry a wall has been built to exclude non-Spanish speaking workers.

The National Black Contractors Association (NBCA) as in our last year’s construction industry summit 2018, which was to open the dialog with Unions, for greater inclusion of urban inner-city youth in apprenticeships and underrepresented workers is still a work in progress. Claudia as a Latina Deputy Director of the City of San Diego Public Works Department, and Contracts whose people are over represented by all these cities Multiple Award Construction Contracts (MACC) “no low” bid contractors which includes; “Burtech Pipeline/Infrastructure Engineering Corporation (IEC), KTA Construction/Nasland Engineering, Orion Construction Corporation/Harris & Associates/GHD, Shimmick Construction/David Evans & Associates Inc., TC Construction Company/Michael Baker International,” who we feel that they are being indirectly told that the community’s well stated concerns on exclusion of district 4 (35% African American population,) is not of the concern of your office nor the city’s, when the city turnaround and host an event of such, without showing a collaboration with the community stakeholders such as the NBCA, which is the voice for the voiceless African Americans in construction.

This will inadvertently send a message that the city does not respect our community’s concerns, and don’t care whether or not, if there are ongoing practices of exclusion of underrepresented groups. Although I will say that this, is the first time that this group of historic excluders have ever been brought to District 4, which shows that District 4 Council member Monica Montgomery, means what she says and says what she means, that “District 4 will not be underrepresented.” Where at the sometime, this kind of Dog and Pony show does not allow a dialogue, given the severity of the history, that should be an event that could build relationships with intended outcomes of inclusion. This history of exclusion is the city’s fault, and the MACC contractors are not all to blame. This shows that when the city hosts a community outreach event, its watered down and sends a mix-message, that the city is not supporting an open dialogue, which must be done first if we are to come to real resolutions.

Kelvin Singleton

The NBCA will not promote this event, nor seek the MAAC contractor’s membership in lieu of true inclusion of African Americans. We feel that we are being slighted as a group with a history of leadership that resulted in team building. It is our hope that the city will collaborate with community stakeholders in a future NBCA summit or Chat n’ Chew to outline the way forward, for greater inclusion.

Blacks on white privilege

By Dr. E. Faye Williams

Contractor Outreach Event & Job Fair

never having to worry about their next meal, being able to pay utility bills, being able to pay for medicine they needed, and not worrying about where to find funds to pay for their child’s college education. That must have been nice. I guess White privilege was good while it lasted.

In the last few days, White privilege has come to be a bit uncomfortable. As some of us struggle for everything we’ve ever had in life, we probably slept better not having been the recipient of White privilege. Though some of us have worked to achieve justice and equality all of our lives, we’d rather be in our shoes than in the position of the privileged ones who’re flashed across TV screens for cheating to get

their children in so called “good schools.”

We probably feel better that the Russians didn’t help us win an election we didn’t deserve. Those of us without the benefit of White privilege are probably happy that we’re not Michael Flynn, Roger Stone, Michael Cohen, Paul Manafort, Rick Gates—or the occupants in the White House. Just being the daughter of #45, Ivanka and her husband received at least a cool 82 million dollars last year! Now that’s super White privilege, but I still think my clothing are just fine so I don’t need to have White privilege to attract others to buy my brand of clothing while I sweat it out wondering if White privilege might not keep me out of jail for breaking laws.

I feel more comfortable trying to live up to the 10 Commandments, trying to use my resources helping family honestly, serving

my community, treating all with respect, honesty and fairness. When I make a mistake, I do all I can to not make any privilege I may have to excuse myself. I asked several Black friends, and none wanted unfair privilege.

One of those with whom I spoke said, “The most phenomenal aspect of White privilege is that its benefactors are oblivious to it.

They get exceptional privileges without the psychological drain of being aware of it.

They get a huge dopamine drip as if they accomplished things on their own merit, but did not. Lately, White privilege has been laid bare. Most cannot fathom how ugly this is going to get. Shame is a much greater burden than pain. Mommy and daddy’s money can’t fix this. The entire system is complicit. This is the tip of the White privilege iceberg. It permeates every sector. White privilege needs its own truth and reconciliation committee, but I won’t hold my breath.”

IN OTHER NEWS AFTER INCARCERATION,

FORMER PRISONERS FACE A TOUGH JOURNEY HOME Plan for transitional support to ex-convicts stirs not-in-my-backyard protests

By Rachel Holloway, Trice Edney Newswire

Try to imagine what freedom must be like for many prisoners who’ve been released after serving sentences of 10, 15 or 20 years behind bars.

The prospect of a second chance in society sparks elation, which frequently gives way to frustration, dismay and even fear over how to begin picking up the pieces of a shattered life.

Indeed, the questions and obstacles ex-convicts face can be overwhelming. Will they ever find a job, especially if they lack the skills employers need? What about affordable housing? And where will they find money to pay for food and transportation?

Then there are all the societal changes, starting with the disappearance of transit tokens, not to mention the array of other new technologies, including smartphones, social media platforms, video streaming, e-readers, GPS devices and tablets. These technologies are often dizzyingly

unfamiliar to individuals who in many cases went to prison at a time when the lowly flip phone was a high technological achievement. And yet, being able to use those technologies-from Microsoft Word for a resume to LinkedIn for job searching -is critical.

Thousands of ex-convicts face this reality in communities across the country, from Boston, New York City, Philadelphia, Washington, Atlanta and Miami to Chicago, Detroit, Houston and Los Angeles. To hear these sort of coming home stories is the first step to understand the daunting journey undertaken by these individuals – often unsuccessfully – to rebuild their lives and re-establish ties to family, friends and community after prison.

With tens of thousands of prisoners being released each year from jails and prisons across the country, experts agree that a major test on the journey home for these individuals is navigating rocky shoals of the transition between prison and society. Will they be productive citizens, or will they engage in a repeat offense and

return to prison? Or will they end up homeless in the streets – or worse?

How to help ease the transition for inmates returning home has become part of the growing national debate on reforming the criminal justice system at a time when critics say it has incarcerated a disproportionate number of Black and Hispanic men while focusing on punishment rather than rehabilitation.

That debate is playing out in Washington, D.C.’s predominantly black Ward 5, where a proposal to open a residential reentry facility for ex-prisoners has provoked a notin-my-backyard furor. It has also sparked a larger discussion about the need for programs that confront systemic needs of ex-convicts -- including providing housing, job training or drug treatment -- while helping them work through the psychological issues that returning home can provoke.

At the center of this debate is CORE DC, a minority-owned, social-services group seeking to open a residential reentry center in Ward 5. The

REP. JUAN VARGAS STATEMENT ON

PRESIDENTIAL VISIT TO CALEXICO

Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) on November 1, 2018 awarded CORE DC the contract to open a 300-bed center and the facility was scheduled to start taking in residents on March 1 2019.

But plans were put on hold amid concerns from some community members. The delay dealt a blow to efforts to address the pressing needs of former inmates returning home with what CORE DC and supporters say is the organization’s humane approach to helping the former prisoners assimilate into a society with obsolete notions of crime and punishment.

“How do you genuinely engage in criminal justice reform when you still have ancient and outdated attitudes?” CORE DC chairman and CEO Jack Brown said.

The only reentry center in Washington, D.C., today is Hope Village, located in Southeast Washington.

Opened in the late 1970s, it has faced criticism in the past on issues ranging from the treatment of residents to its security practices.

CORE DC reached out to local lawmakers and leadership joined community hearings convened to address questions surrounding the planned facility.

“At our facilities, the program director is in daily communication with Bureau of Prisons,” Brown said.

“Most people in the community believe you get to hang out from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m outside of the center, not at CORE. We don’t see too many program failures because our clients have jobs that we work with them to get in the construction industry, technology sector and other livable wage jobs.”

Despite community misgivings, CORE DC said that it remains committed to the DC area, and that the community deserves a ‘productive, fact-driven dialogue’ about reentry centers.

With an estimated 8,000 former inmates returning home to Washington every year, advocates say reentry centers are a proven part of a comprehensive solution needed nationwide.

ACLU FILES AMICUS BRIEF

CONCERNING CALGANG DATABASE Newswire Voice & Viewpoint

Friday, April 5 the ACLU Foundation of San Diego & Imperial Counties (ACLUF-SDIC) submitted an amicus brief in the case of a southeastern San Diego man seeking to remove his name from the state’s CalGang database. The database, which documents and tracks alleged gang members, is notorious for errors. Until recently, people could be added to the database without their knowledge or a process to clear their names.

Tyrone Simmons, who is represented by attorney Danielle Iredale, of the Law Offices of Danielle Iredale, and Suzy Marinkovich and Ben Kagel, of Morrison & Foerster LLP, filed the lawsuit against the City of San Diego seeking to remove his name from the CalGang database under a process created by Assembly Bill 2298. He is one of the first people to challenge his CalGang designation under this law.

Newswire Voice & Viewpoint

Friday, April 5, Rep. Juan Vargas released the following statement regarding President Trump’s visit to Calexico, CA: “Let’s call today’s border visit what it was: a political stunt to rile up President Trump’s base. He came to Calexico to further rationalize his fake national emergency, and to perpetuate his hateful lies about immigrants. My district is home to a vibrant border region, full of hardworking families who deserve a president who supports them, not uses them to push a false narrative.

“Billions of dollars’ worth of economic activity occurs on our border with Mexico every day.

President Trump should be celebrating how our region helps propel the entire American economy. Instead, he spent the day criticizing our southern neighbors and taking credit for

the work of other leaders.

“The issues at our border are a result of Trump’s failed immigration policies and his unwillingness to address the environmental issues. A wall will not solve them. Border communities across the U.S. agree: we do not want or need Trump’s wasteful wall. Misusing taxpayer dollars and resources jeopardizes our country’s national security, economy, and overall integrity.”

Vargas represents California’s 51st Congressional District which includes the southern portion of San Diego County, all of Imperial County and California’s entire U.S.-Mexico border. Vargas was first elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2012 and is currently serving his fourth term in Congress. He serves on the House Financial Services Committee and House Foreign Affairs Committee.

“The ACLU has a longstanding commitment to ensuring due process in gang designation cases. AB 2298 has the potential to help prevent erroneous listings and bring light to the removal process. We’re filing this amicus brief to support Mr. Simmons and his legal team and to inform the public about the new law,” said Jonathan Markovitz, a staff attorney with the ACLUF-SDIC. AB 2298 was enacted in 2016 after the California State Auditor issued a report on the error-prone CalGang database. Among other things, the audit found that people of color are vastly more likely to be included in the database relative to their percentage of the population. It also documented serious problems with CalGang’s designation procedures. Most notably, the audit found that dozens of infants were entered into the database after “admitting to being gang members.”

Despite these errors, the CalGang database has been used for employment and military-related screenings. Courts have also relied on the database to provide support for expert opinions about gang membership.

By enacting AB 2298, state lawmakers clearly acknowledged the harm a false CalGang designation can have on a person and sent a message that it had taken measures to ensure that law enforcement agencies could not inflict that damage on anyone without good reason. In Mr. Simmons’ case, the trial court made a series of rulings that prevented him from receiving a fair hearing. His appeal can help to ensure that courts will hold law enforcement accountable and provide real opportunities for people to challenge erroneous gang designations.

Provides Rare Glimpse At

Continuation from Cover: RODEO

African American Cowboys, Cowgirls

By Lee Eric Smith The New Tri-State Defender

rodeo circuit. “I grew up on John Wayne, Gary Cooper and Henry Fonda. And I thought, ‘My great-grandfather ran a livery stable in Alabama.”

“Why is it that all the cowboys are white?” she asked.

Of course, there were plenty of black cowboys. Cowgirls, too.

Many of their names are forever lost to history, but one name still stands tall: William Pickett.

Born near Austin, Texas in 1870, Pickett’s list of accomplishments belongs in history books – he invented the “grab-‘em-bythe-horns” style of bull wrestling called bulldogging. He performed around the world, became the first black cowboy movie star and performed for the British Royal Family.

Picket died in 1932. And although he was enshrined in multiple halls of fame, it wasn’t until 1984 that a cowboy named Lu Vason launched the Bill Pickett Rodeo to pay homage to the iconic figure.

Unfortunately, even in the 1980s, America needed a black rodeo for the same reasons Pickett never got the universal appreciation he deserved.

“White rodeos really weren’t open to us,” Miss Kitty said. “Either black cowboys weren’t invited, or they weren’t scored fairly. That’s just how it was.”

These days, the Bill Pickett Invitational Rodeo is the world’s only African American touring rodeo, bringing joy to sell-out crowds across America. Other than Memphis, additional rodeo stops include Denver, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Washington, D.C., and Trenton, N.J. After Lu Vason became ill and passed away, his then-wife Valeria took over the rodeo operations to continue his legacy. Under the leadership of Valeria Howard Cunningham, the rodeo has continued to thrive. You read that right: In an industry dominated by white males who typically scoff at women and/or people of color, a black woman is running the show.

That brings us to how Barbara Love, the Memphis coordinator for the Pickett Rodeo, came to be known as “Miss Kitty.” In the extra-macho world of rodeos, the name started as a sexist jab, the retired teacher said.

“It was from ‘Gunsmoke,’” Miss Kitty said, referring to the classic TV western.

“There was only one woman on the show – Miss Kitty. And

often, I was the only woman at these rodeos. So, people started calling me that. I hated it.”

That only added fuel to the fire, she continued.

“I used to cry,” she added. “And when people find out something like that bothers you, that’s when they really pick at you.”

Stuck with a nickname she hated, she adapted and made it work for her.

“It spread like wildfire to the point where I just had to go on and accept it,” Miss Kitty said. “If I was trying to call (the Mayor’s office) and used my real name, they were like, ‘Who?’ But when I said, ‘Miss Kitty,’ they knew who I was.

“I didn’t name me that,” she said.

“Memphis named me that.”

For 28 years, Miss Kitty has brought the Bill Pickett Rodeo to Memphis, and she’s always made sure to mix education in with entertainment. Rodeo events routinely include the “Rodeo for Kidz Sake,” which exposes youngsters to animals, cowboys and cowgirls. “The kids show (In Memphis) is sold out. I could have done two kids shows this year,” she said.

The rodeo experience teaches the kids about the importance of Black Americans in the development of the West.

“When I started working with rodeos, I had to dig to find information about the Buffalo Soliders,” Miss Kitty said, referring to the historic. “Nobody knew about them. We’re creating an awareness about this history.”

The main event – playfully named “The Greatest Show on Dirt” — is the rodeo itself. Thousands of spectators gather to watch black cowboys and cowgirls compete in eight major rodeo events. Among them (abbreviations intact): Bare Back Ridin’, Bull Doggin’, Calf Ropin’, Steer Undecoratin’, Barrel Racin’, Kid’s Calf Scramblin’, Relay Racin’, and Bull Ridin’.

“Nobody ever leaves disappointed,” she said.

Miss Kitty said that though she extends invitations to schools all around the Mid-South, the only schools to respond are typically in Memphis and Shelby County.

Which is a shame, she said.

“You can’t force somebody to participate,” Miss Kitty said. “All you can do is invite them.

“I don’t understand why little white children don’t get to learn about this history.”

Dale Fleming Retires From the County of San Diego

Photography by Voice & Viewpoint

Staff Writer Voice & Viewpoint

Implemented the ACCESS call center to provide alternative methods for applying for public benefits during the historic national recession; then integrated the County Call Center with 2-1-1 San Diego; developed and implemented an enterprise wide plan, co-led by the Public Health Officer, for increasing enrollment in CalFresh nutrition assistance and, therefore, increasing access to nutrition education and improving outcomes.

If you saw her, you would get no idea of the substance and ability of this remarkable woman.

Nor would one think that she had given 34 years of service to the County of San Diego. But last week, she retired from the Department of Health and Human Services within the County of San Diego. She exited that agency as the Director of the Office of Strategy and Innovation. It was the feeling of some that she was a part of the backbone support to the Live Well San Diego wellness model.

Dale is a graduate of the University of Phoenix with a Bachelor of Arts in Business Management. But in her personal life, she is also a star. The grandmother is a member of the San Diego Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Choir. When she leads a song, she takes the audience to a place that only Aretha Franklin could go. She is also a member of a duet which provides soulful entertainment suitable for any event. She has made invaluable contributions as a part of the Department’s leadership team and all say she will be missed. Those who remain active in the San Diego community have not seen the last of Dale Fleming.

Her career with the County had started with screening individuals for eligibility to welfare programs. She led welfare reform in San Diego County by developing an innovative service delivery model in which providers -- non-profit and for profit organizations -- provided employment services for parents and their families in the CalWORKS cash assistance program. The success of this model was a key factor in San Diego County being named the three best managed counties in the United States in 2002.

Dale’s accomplishments in San Diego were many including, but not limited to, the following:

Newswire Voice & Viewpoint

United Way of San Diego County has announced that its Women’s Leadership Council has reenvisioned its role to focus on forging and growing a network of partnerships, emerging with a new name – Women United – as well as a new chair, Christina Hastings.

By Darrel Wheeler Contributing Writer

For the fourth year, the Change the Game Youth Development Track & Field Association (CTG) is trying to change youth track & field in San Diego one baton exchange at a time. CTG hosted last Saturday’s youth track competition at Monte Vista High School.

Youngsters from all over San Diego came to compete.

Name- dropping here: Quentin Williams of MLK, Natalie Gomez of CTG, Laufi Jonah of CTG, Aaliyah Givens of SD Blessed, and Brandon Arrington of CTG were just some of the outstanding athletes that did what they do best on the fast-track at Monte Vista High School. Brandon Arrington, representing CTG, is an 11 year old sprinter who dominates his age group with such ease his coach had him run the 100 meters against 7th and 8th graders for tougher competition. He finished second.

“I started running track when I was nine. My father saw me beating everybody in football and said I should start running track,” Brandon shared. “I like track a lot, but my favorite sport is football. Last year we (Balboa) won the Q-Bowl and then we won the National Championship in Florida,” he said.

Next Saturday Flo-JO International will host their Annual Track & Field competition at Orange Glen High School.

“Women United is a powerful group of women who mobilize to raise much-needed funds that make a direct impact on women and children in the San Diego region,” said Hastings. “Our new approach and tagline ‘Be Bold. Be Engaged. Be Connected’ allows a diverse network of community-minded women to take action, drive change and create community.”

According to United Way President and CEO Nancy Sasaki, since its 2008 inception, Women United has grown to consist of 124 women involved in the group, from a wide variety of industries in the San Diego community.

“Women United provides women the opportunity to become philanthropic leaders by empowering them to make grant decisions, expand philanthropic awareness, and attend exclusive education, volunteer and network events,” said Sasaki.

Under the leadership of Hastings – a longtime United Way volunteer and the director of corporate communications for Bridgepoint Education – Women United is poised to continue its focus on the core issues of education and family stability. Hastings said that going forward “goals include increasing membership offerings and programs, working to create resources around challenges that face San Diego County women and children, and creating synergy amongst local women’s giving circles and nonprofits.”

Members voted to invest the majority of the $100,000 raised – 40 percent – to create Dashboards to Track Academic Success.

The state-of-the-art dashboard will allow a countywide network of partners to track key academic and social milestones and help create proven strategies that impact children’s educational and career success.

Other areas receiving funding, all designed to create effective and sustainable programs that advance children and families regardless of zip code or income, include: Technology, Tools & Resources: Supports a network of partners with the tools and resources to address barriers to academic success, ultimately improving early grade literacy, middle school math and high school graduation rates.

Regional Impact: Grows impact throughout the county by aligning partner resources, both intellectual and financial, securing new and innovative funding streams and advocating based on agreed goals.

Community Engagement Project: Research that clarifies and strengthens United Way’s role in the community for long term impact.

Any San Diego County female can join Women United by making an annual gift of at least $1,000. Members include women in the business, financial, legal and service industries, as well as education and healthcare. For more information or to join, visit https://uwsd.org/Women-United.

AFRICAN LEADERS BUILD AFRICAN PHILANTHROPIST WEAPONS STOCKPILES CORRECTS MISLEADING AIDED BY RUSSIAN DEALERS MIGRATION REPORTS

M. Ibrahim

Global Information Network Sudanese child soldier

Global Information Network

There’s a new “rumble in the jungle” in the words of Muhammad Ali but George Foreman isn’t a part of it.

What’s changing on the African landscape is the configuration of allies and business partners. Russia, most notably, is making a comeback in weapons sales to Africa, topping western and Chinese arms sellers by a wide margin.

In a new report: ‘Trends in International Arms Transfers,’ Russia accounted for 28% of arms exports to sub-Saharan Africa in 2014– 18, China for 24%, Ukraine for 8.3%, the US for 7.1% and France for 6.1%.

Nigeria, the largest arms importer in subSaharan Africa in 2014–18, received 35% of its arms imports from Russia, 21% from China and 15% from the U.S.

Sudan became the first Arab nation to purchase Russia’s SU-24 fighter jets as part of a deal for equipment upgrades and training worth an estimated $1 billion. Mr. Bashir also invited Russia to build a naval base in Sudan, offering critical access to the Red Sea. Last spring, five sub-Saharan African countries — Mali, Niger, Chad, Burkina Faso and Mauritania — reportedly appealed to Moscow to help their overtaxed militaries and security services combat the Islamic State and Al Qaeda.

Other countries in need of aid - Cameroon for its fight with Boko Haram jihadists, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda and Angola – also received military assistance from Russia.

In the Central African Republic (CAR), Moscow sent weapons and hundreds of military personnel, advisers and mercenaries, allegedly in return for profitable contracts to extract the country’s natural resources. A full military base for Russia is reportedly in the works.

Finally, Algeria may have been the number one buyer of Russian weapons sold in Africa, according to a recent report in the Middle East Monitor. According to the report, about half of all Russian weapons sold in Africa were bought by the regime of President Abdelaziz Bouteflika a year before his ouster in a popular uprising that succeeded this month.

In Sudan, private Russian security companies came to the aid of President Omar al-Bashir who faces a growing national movement demanding his retirement. In exchange, Sudan’s Ministry of Minerals signed a contract with the Russian company M Invest for the extraction of ore and other metals.

“Algeria’s heavy demand for Russian weapons is due to many reasons, said Russian ambassador to Algeria, Igor Belyaev, “but most notably the historical link between the two countries through economic and historical relations since Algerian independence in which Russia had played an important role.”

Africans migrating from the continent make up a much smaller share of the global migrant population than is commonly reported and should be viewed as a positive phenomenon, not a threat.

Those were the opening remarks of Sudanese philanthropist Mo Ibrahim, speaking at a weekend conference hosted by Ibrahim’s foundation in Abidjan, Ivory Coast.

Citing statistics, he rebutted anti-migration politicians who say Africans have inundated Europe.

“Europe is not being flooded by Africans,” Ibrahim declared, noting that 70% of African migrants relocate within Africa.

“Migration is healthy, it’s not a disease,” he maintained. “Migration is about aspirations, not desperation. People who migrate are mostly capable, ambitious young people who are migrating to work and build successful lives. They add wealth to the countries they go to,” he said.

Other misperceptions were noted by Mr. Ibrahim. “Despite popular belief, in almost 30 years, the scale of the global migrant population has increased only marginally, from 2.9% of the global population in 1990 to 3.4% in 2017,” he noted. “Migration patterns may have changed, but they have not significantly increased.

“African migrants account for only 14% of the global migrant population: significantly less than migrants from Asia, which account for 41%, or Europe, which account for 24%.

In fact, in 2017, the top ten migration flows

from Africa accounted for less than the single migration flow from Mexico to the U.S. “As world leaders recognized in the firstever United Nations Global Compact on Migration in December 2018, migration, is a source of prosperity, innovation and sustainable development in our globalized world.”

Data shows that migrants support GDP growth in destination countries and are valuable, often indispensable parts of the workforce. Their economic contribution is considerable. Migrants’ contribution to GDP is estimated at 19% in Côte d’Ivoire, 13% in Rwanda and 9% in South Africa.

Ibrahim is a Sudanese-born businessman who founded Celtel, a mobile phone network across Africa. He was speaking on the occasion of the Ibrahim Governance Weekend, the flagship event of the Mo Ibrahim Foundation, held every year in a different African country.

This year, attendees will celebrate the life of Kofi Annan, a Nobel Peace Prizewinner and former Secretary-General of the U.N. Speeches by Ibrahim, Ivorian President Alassane Ouattara, UN Deputy SecretaryGeneral Amina Mohammed, singer Bono and former Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf paid tribute to Annan’s achievements and legacy. The ceremony also featured music from Congolese singer-songwriter Fally Ipupa.

OVER 100 KIDNAPPED GIRLS IN NIGERIA REACH FIVE YEARS IN CAPTIVITY Global Information Network

The 112 girls kidnapped from a boarding school in Nigeria and still being held by Boko Haram will have spent five years in captivity if they are not released by next Sunday.

That was the sad message released by members of the Bring Back Our Girls movement who have been urging more action by the Nigerian government to locate and free the girls.

International Red Cross.

The girls have already spent 1,819 days in Boko Haram captivity. “This is not a date we ever imagined we would come to”, they wrote on a social media platform.

Over 200 students of the Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State were abducted by the terrorists on the night of April 14, 2014.

Four of the young women who managed to escape from the kidnappers now study at Dickenson College in Pennsylvania. The students are all on full scholarship funded by the Nigerian government’s Victim Support Fund and the Murtala Mohammed Foundation.

Over a hundred of them were released following pressure from the federal government, the intervention of activist Nigerians and the

Meanwhile, in Washington, DC, a drama entitled “The Chibok Girls: Our Story” will be presented at the CrossCurrents festival

on selected dates in April and May. Nigerian poet-dramatist Soyinka, now 84, will appear alongside Nigeria’s Renegade Theatre for the performance.

“Chibok Girls” was written and directed

by Wole Oguntokun, Artistic Director of Renegade Theatre and Founder of Theatre Republic.

In a related development, the Nigeria Security Tracker, a project of the Council on Foreign Relations’ Africa program, documents and maps violence in Nigeria that is motivated by political, economic, or social grievances.

HEALTHY LIVING

Dr. Rosie Phillips Davis Making Sense of High Blood Pressure to Lead APA For those older patients greater than 75 to 80 years of age, we say start low and go slow with medication adjustments. We are also careful in selecting initial therapy as well as adding on drug therapy. We want to make sure to use drugs from different classes, depending upon the patient.

Remember, one size shoe does not fit all. There are also ethnic and social considerations to be made.

By Dr. Sybil C. Mitchell Special to The New Tri-State Defender

Dr. Rosie Phillips Davis is the second AfricanAmerican woman to lead the APA. The gavel was passed to her from Jessica Henderson Daniel, PhD, who holds the distinction of being the first African-American woman to lead the association.

“The real story is that I am a product of the public school system,” says Davis, who serves as the 2019 president of the American Psychological Association (APA). “I attended public schools and graduated from high school equipped and prepared to pursue higher learning.

Today, Dr. Davis is a well-respected psychologist who has committed much of her career to an examination of “deep poverty” and its effects on those who experience it, as well as others’ perceptions of people on the outside looking in.

As APA president, Davis’ “Initiative on Deep Poverty” will focus on three areas to change the perceptions of poverty:

Collaborate with experts in the psychological science of poverty to better understand the links between poverty health challenges, both physical and mental.

Raise awareness about the attitudes toward those who live in poverty and what psychological science purports about those living in deep poverty.

Elevate the role of psychology in addressing societal issues rooted in poverty by changing the narrative surrounding it and the policies that contribute to it.

Prior to taking the helm of the APA, Davis served on the American Psychological Association Board of Directors and is past president of the Society of Counseling Psychology. She sat on the editorial boards of several journals, is author of numerous articles, She is a co-founder of the National Multicultural Conference and Summit.

KEEP ACTIVE, BE FIT, STAY ENGAGED.

Lifestyle modification by reducing salt intake, lowering the intake of alcoholic beverages to one drink a day for females, two drinks a day for males, increase in the use of fresh fruits and vegetables, and a reduction in the intake of red meat, along with a mediterranean-type diet or the DASH eating program encompasses those ideals for lifestyle modification concerning diet and can be found online by Googling it on your cell phone or your computer.

The DASH diet can reduce systolic blood pressure by 8 to 12 mm of mercury and diastolic as much as 8 mm of mercury. This reduction in blood pressure is as good as 1 antihypertensive medication.

Let’s reduce the incidence of stroke heart attack and late stage renal disease, or ending up on dialysis and congestive heart failure. We can do this as long as you understand your increased risk of these consequences and know your numbers.

There may be confusion on the part of Physicians as well as patients because, at last count, there were at least eight different guidelines proposed nationally and internationally for the management of elevated blood pressure. There are also concerns and confusion because there is no optimal blood pressure goal for patients with a prior stroke or those with diabetes, even though groups representing diabetics, as well as groups representing the hypertension community, have goals.

Alvarado Hospital has a number of health and fitness programs ideal for seniors to help keep you fit in both body and mind!

Under our PALS community programs, we offer classes such as our Senior Fitness Class, our Alvarado Balance Class, and the “Back Nine” Senior Golf Program, which is led by a PGA professional and licensed recreation and physical therapists. All are designed to sharpen your motor skills and strengthen your body.

Our aim is for a systolic blood pressure goal of below or equal to 130 over 80 for all patients with cardiovascular disease, according to the American College of Cardiology (ACC) and the American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines.

We advocate for this goal for patients who do not have cardiovascular disease but who have an increased risk of its development by greater than 10% in the next 10 years. This includes those with diabetes, chronic kidney disease, congestive heart failure or stroke; as long as it can be done without any adverse consequences secondary to therapy.

To learn more about these and other FREE programs, contact us at (619) 229-7216, or visit us at: AlvaradoHospital.com/PALS

Identifying patients with resistant hypertension, defined as blood pressure not under control on three different medications of different classes, one of which should be a diuretic, we consider the following. Obstructive sleep apnea or any sleep deprivation is associated with a greater cardiovascular risk and can be treated appropriately. We also advocate four good sleep hygiene, with at least seven to eight hours of sleep for optimal health. Less than 6 to 7 hours of sleep per day may be a risk factor for cognitive decline, i.e., Alzheimer’s Disease. Obesity and low physical activity are other risk factors that are prominent in African American females and predispose them to the development of cardiovascular disease in the future.

Lastly, I must mention pregnancy-related hypertension as defined as hypertension occurring during pregnancy. Eclampsia or preeclampsia (disorders of hypertension during pregnancy) are significant risk factors for the subsequent development of hypertension and clinical cardiovascular disease, diabetes and hypercholesterolemia. These women need careful follow-up and screening for the subsequent development of cardiovascular disease. The treatment of hypertension during pregnancy has changed as well as the blood pressure threshold at which to initiate therapy.

Initial drug therapy for this condition has also changed a great deal over time.

Hypertension is one of the most important causes of maternal and fetal death in pregnancy, particularly in the USA and among African American females. The United States ranks just below 50th among developed countries for maternal and fetal complications, including death and hypertension is one of the biggest risk factors.

I believe in intensive blood pressure control without its attendant complications in highrisk individuals in order to reduce the risk of development of cardiovascular disease in the future. This must be done as long as it is balanced against the risk of developing adverse consequences of therapy. I understand the cardiovascular risk benefit ratio may be less clear in diabetic patients, as well as older patients who have chronic kidney disease. This requires clear patient-physician communication, shared decision making and establishing clear goals of therapy.

Finally, confusion among patients and Physicians would be considerably reduced if various medical societies would collaborate on the development of hypertensive guidelines.

We need a document that is generalizable to the approach to the treatment of hypertension.

Stay tuned next week. I will try to tackle congestive heart failure and try to make it a little bit more understandable.

Harvard Sued Over Early Images of Enslaved Africans 02030.121718

Voice & Viewpoint Newswire

In 1850, Harvard professor Louis Agassiz commissioned a series of daguerreotypes, an early method of photography, of slaves.

His mission was to prove that Black Africans and Whites of European origin did not share common human ancestors.

Included in these photographs were images of an enslaved man called Renty from South Carolina and his daughter Delia. Renty and his daughter were photographed naked and without their consent. The daguerreotypes were found in 1976 in the attic of Harvard’s Peabody Museum.

Now Tamara Lanier of Connecticut has filed a lawsuit against Harvard in Massachusetts Superior Court. Lanier claims that she is the great-great-great grandfather of the man she calls “Papa Renty.” As a child she heard stories of Papa Renty and later conducted research into her heritage. The lawsuit seeks ownership of the photos, punitive damages, and compensation for pain and suffering.

The suit notes that the photograph of Renty appears on the cover of From Site to Sight Anthropology, Photography, and the Power of Imagery, Thirtieth Anniversary Edition(Harvard University Press, 2017).

1. Demand is growing. Job growth for financial advisors is expected to grow four times higher than other occupations, according to Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS), and by becoming a Certified Financial Planner professional, also known as a CFP professional, you can further distinguish yourself in the financial services industry. Employers are increasingly seeking out CFP certification, which is the highest standard in professional financial planning.

2. It’s not all about math. The key to a flourishing career in financial planning is creative problem solving, relationship building and communication skills. In particular, CFP professionals help people take a holistic, “big picture” look at their finances to help them reach their life goals.

“There’s so much transformation in people’s lives when they get their finances together,” says Brittney Castro, a Los Angelesbased Certified Financial Planner (CFP) professional. “It’s a great feeling because I know I helped them get there.”

3. It offers freedom and flexibility. Talk to successful CFP professionals and you will learn that what many of them value most in their work is the freedom and flexibility to balance their personal and professional lives.

4. It’s not a one-size-fits-all career. From striking out on your own to working at firms big and small, there are a variety of

possible pathways in this profession. Nearly one in four personal financial planners are self-employed, according to BLS. 5. It allows you to build your future by helping others. From budgeting and planning for retirement to managing taxes and insurance coverage, financial planners help clients bring all the pieces of their financial lives together to achieve their dreams.

But beyond the personal satisfaction of helping others, there are financial rewards, too. The median pay for personal financial planners is $89,000, according to BLS. To learn more about financial planning careers, visit www. cfppro.org.

Consider your career goals. If they include growth potential, flexibility and the ability to be creative, a career in financial planning may be right for you.

Shaq is Joining Beleagured Papa John’s Board of Directors Voice & Viewpoint Newswire

Papa John’s has found its next spokesman: Shaquille O’Neal. But the company hopes Shaq can help Papa John’s beyond hawking pizza.

The NBA Hall-of-Famer, will join Papa John’s board of directors.

O’Neal will also invest in nine Papa John’s stores in Atlanta and become an ambassador for the brand in advertisements. The company will pay O’Neal $8.25 million over three years for the endorsement deal, it said in a regulatory filing.

O’Neal has experience in the food business. He owns a Krispy Kreme Doughnuts franchise in Atlanta, a Big Chicken fast casual fried chicken joint in Las Vegas, and Shaquille’s restaurant in Los Angeles.

Papa John’s could use O’Neal’s popularity, as well as his business acumen. Papa John’s (PZZA)sales have declined for five straight quarters. The company first reported a slowdown,

but not a decline, in October 2017, which its founder and thenCEO John Schnatter blamed on the NFL leadership’s handling of player protests. Schnatter stepped down as CEO two months after the comments, which sparked a backlash and marked the beginning of a rough patch for Papa John’s.

Papa John’s stock rose about 5% on the announcement.
