‘READY TO LABELS TRUMP “RACIST AND WORST PRESIDENT IN HISTORY” EXPLODE’

By Stacy M. Brown “People aren’t able to go to the doctor because they can’t afford to and if you go to a hospital, you’re afraid to get hit with a $50,000 medical bill,” said Sanders, before promising that a Sanders Administration would work to provide medical coverage for all.

One night after many pundits said he acquitted himself well in the debate in Miami between himself and other 2020 Democratic Presidential hopefuls, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders arrived in Cincinnati to deliver the keynote address at the National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA) Legacy Awards Dinner.

POST OFFICE

RENAMED IN HONOR OF MARVIN GAYE Newswire Voice & Viewpoint

A local Los Angeles post office has been rededicated in honor of the late Grammy-winning soul singer Marvin Gaye.

“Marvin Gaye’s music has transcended generations and gave the ‘70s and ‘80s a sound,” said U.S. Rep. Karen Bass, D-Los Angeles, who introduced House Resolution 1496 to name the post office at 3585 S. Vermont Ave., adjacent to USC, as the Marvin Gaye Post Office.

After serving just 18 months, her enemies found a way to silence her and end her career.

Hunter was charged with theft for using her judicial credit card to appeal the lawsuits filed against her

by Deters, the prosecutor.

BEING BLACK AND REPUBLICAN IN THE ERA OF TRUMP PRESENTS REAL CHALLENGES

The impending jailing of Judge Tracie Hunter, the first African American Juvenile Court Judge in Hamilton County’s long history, has the city of Cincinnati on edge, according to her supporters and a former state senator.

“I think it’s going to be a problem,” said former Cincinnati State Sen. Eric Kearney, who is revered as “The Connector in Chief” throughout the state and neighboring Kentucky.

By Stacy M. Brown NNPA Newswire Correspondent

It’s likely that identifying as a Republican today isn’t as easy as it once was, particularly with President Donald Trump’s policies that have included separating children from parents; the administration’s escalating racial rhetoric; and a special counsel report that strongly suggests the nation’s commander-in-chief committed crimes that may not just end with obstruction of justice.

An attorney by trade, Kearney currently serves as president and CEO of the Greater Cincinnati and See JUDGE page 2

of its Music Icons series.

It includes a portrait of the “Prince of Motown” against a light-blue background and comes in a pane of 16 stamps. It is not permitted to be sold individually.

Earlier this month, Sanders was the lone candidate to accept an invitation to speak at the gala, which is part of the NNPA’s weeklong national convention.

The NNPA is a trade organization that represents the more than 200 African American-owned newspapers and media companies throughout the country.

The organization does not endorse candidates, leaving such decisions up to its member publishers whose influence and readership comprise the nation’s largest media markets, including New York, Los Angeles, Washington, Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Tennessee, San Francisco, and numerous swing states around the country.

After being introduced by former Ohio State Sen. Nina Turner, Sanders gave an inspired 25-minute address in which he blasted President Donald Trump as a racist and a bigot and he promised that, if elected, he will work to make college tuition-free, eliminate student debt, take climate change seriously, and make every effort to level the playing field economically, educationally and in other ways that reflect his stance on social justice for African Americans and other individuals of color.

“It is absolutely imperative to defeat the most dangerous president in the history of this country,” Sanders said.

“He is a racist and a bigot,” the senator said.

Sanders said he and his wife thought long and hard before he decided to enter the race this year. Even after deciding to run, Sanders said he slept on it and almost reconsidered, but he believed it was important that he step up for the sake of all Americans, particularly the underserved.

“We are going to have to transform this nation and create an economy that works for all of us, not just the one percent,” Sanders said.

“People aren’t able to go to the doctor because they can’t afford to and if you go to a hospital, you’re afraid to get hit with a $50,000 medical bill,” he said, before promising that a Sanders Administration would work to provide medical coverage for all.

“My anger at [Trump] is not just that he wanted to take away health care for 32 million people, but his [proposed] massive cuts to Medicare and Medicaid and Social Security and his tax cuts which …. were

“If the judge polled the jury, it happened in a blink, but I don’t remember that happening,” Kearney said.

“I’m telling you, black people are not going to take [Hunter going to jail] lightly. The city is on edge,” Kearney said. “The city is going to explode.”

After being convicted on one of 10 counts filed against her, Hunter lost her appeals, one of which was presided over by prosecutor Joe Deters’ motherin-law, Judge Sylvia Hendon.

Kearney, Hunter and her vast number of supporters have said the process used to convict her wreaked of politics, corruption, nepotism and racism.

The jury that rendered the guilty verdict was comprised of political foes and others associated with the prosecutors and a Republican establishment that didn’t take kindly to Hunter breaking the GOP and white-male dominated stronghold to win a seat on the bench in 2010, her supporters have pointed out.

Surprisingly, one of the jurors worked for WCPO Television, a local station that has filed numerous lawsuits against Hunter.

Also, court documents revealed that the jury foreman contributed $500 to state Sen. Bill Seitz, the father of county jury coordinator Brad Seitz, who was responsible for compiling the panel of jurors.

Hunter said three black jurors, none of whom had known ties to prosecutors and all of whom held out for acquittal, ultimately succumbed to pressure from other jurors and a judge who refused to allow defense lawyers to poll the jury after announcing the verdict.

In every American criminal trial, particularly those that end in guilty verdicts, it’s the right of attorneys to request the judge to poll all 12 jurors to ensure each were in agreement with the verdict.

“The judge refused a motion for a retrial after he refused to poll the jury,

The senator drew applause several times from the packed crowd inside the second-floor ballroom of the Westin.

He also blasted Trump for the president’s disbelief in climate change.

“It is the great existential threat of our time and this is not an issue that we have a choice about,” Sanders said.

Sanders also promised to focus his presidency on social, environmental, racial and economic justice.

“We have a president who deliberately is trying to divide America and not only do we have to defeat the worst president in the history of our country, we will have to transform this nation and create an economy for all of us and not just the one percent,” he said.

“At the close of the trial, three jurors came forward and said that their true verdict was not guilty and if Judge Norbert Nadel had polled the jury, they would have said so,” Hunter said.

Outside of the spotlight, his family knew him as a precious family member.

Hunter, who earned her undergraduate degree from Miami University in 1988 and her Juris Doctorate from the University of Cincinnati College of Law in 1992, won election in 2010, stunning the Republican-led city by defeating GOP contender John Williams.

At the ceremony, Zeola Gaye, Gaye’s younger sister said, “Marvin was a very complicated man. Genius, sweet, loving. Marvin was a little bit of everything. I’d just like to say thank you to everybody for loving my brother so much.”

Williams and the GOP contested Hunter’s victory and a heated court battle and numerous appeals by the Hamilton County Board of Elections which refused to count more than 800 votes from majority Democrat and Black precincts, ensued.

While the court finally ordered those votes to be counted, election officials still certified Williams as the victor.

However, once the votes were counted, the election was overturned in Hunter’s favor.

The 18-month period proved pivotal because then-Gov. John Kasich appointed Williams to the bench and the state Supreme Court changed the rules giving Williams administrative authority over the court.

As the senior judge and the only one elected, Hunter would have received the position of administrative judge.

Still, Hunter worked behind the bench to protect the rights of children including refusing to allow their names and faces to appear in news coverage.

Born in Washington, D.C., Gaye moved to Detroit in 1960 and soon came to be attention of Berry Gordy, who signed him to Tamla Records, an offshoot of his Motown label.

He moved to Los Angeles in 1973 and spent the rest of his life there. He was shot and killed by his father on April 1, 1984, the day before what would have been his 45th birthday. Subsequent to his death, Gaye received several awards including the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Album.

Representatives for Deters and Hendon have declined to comment to NNPA Newswire.

Hunter then filed a federal lawsuit to have those voted counted.

According to Solomon Rivera, chief of staff for City Councilman Marqueece Harris-Dawson, approximately 250 people attended the ceremony. Attendees gathered to pose with an enlarged version of the postage stamp released in Gaye’s honor earlier this year.

Gaye is known for top hits like “What’s Going on,” “Mercy Mercy Me” and “I Heard It Through the Grapevine,” along with duets he recorded with Mary Wells and Tammi Terrell. Along with his stunning vocals, he is often recognized for his skills as a songwriter and record producer.

in clear violation of the law and at the request of my attorney,” Hunter said as she stood in front of a large group of supporters sporting black T-shirts imprinted with the logo, “Justice for Judge Tracie Hunter.”

Kearney told a group of Black Press of America publishers that he’s concerned that the prosecution and conviction of Judge Tracie Hunter and her impending six-month jail sentence, that’s set to begin on July 22, will rekindle the same intense racial division that led to race riots less than 20 years ago.

Hunter was convicted of just one of the 10 counts against her for securing a public contract.

for the top one percent,” Sanders said.

Community activist Najee Ali said, “Zeola Gaye and myself want to thank Congressmember Karen Bass from the bottom of our hearts” for her efforts in changing the name of the post office.

After serving just 18 months, her enemies found a way to silence her and end her career.

Hunter was charged with theft for using her judicial credit card to appeal the lawsuits filed against her by Deters, the prosecutor.

“I think this is about power and control,” Kearney said. “Judge Hunter didn’t come through traditional means and she didn’t come through the status quo and that makes her a threat,” he said.

Kearney said the city is on edge, something Hunter acknowledges that she’s fully aware of.

“There is so much racism, so much nepotism and so much cronyism here in Cincinnati but I just hold on to the belief that the truth shall set you free and I will continue to stand on the

truth,” Hunter said.

Now, with her law license suspended and having exhausted any savings and appeals, Hunter is facing jail.

Further frustrating is that Hunter is the lone caregiver to her ailing and aging mother and Hunter said she knows that her pending incarceration is both political and racially-motivated.

In a televised interview with a local station in Cincinnati, Hunter said she fears being another Sandra Bland, the African American woman who in 2015 was found dead in her jail cell just three days after being arrested during a traffic stop.

“I want everyone to know that I don’t drink … I don’t do drugs… I have no intention of harming myself,” Hunter said.

Gaye also shared how she believes her brother would have reacted to the ceremony saying, “he would look around and he would say, ‘how sweet it is to be loved by you.’”

The Marvin Gaye Post Office is located at 3585 S. Vermont Ave., across the street from the University of Southern California campus near downtown L.A. The post office had been known as the Dockweiler Post Office, named in honor of Isidore B. Dockweiler, a prominent lawyer in the first half of the 20th century who held numerous government positions and was once called by humorist Will Rogers “the Democratic Party of California.”

Black Men & Women United:

Service Above Self

By Dr. John E. Warren Publisher

From time to time it becomes necessary to say a few words about the men and women in our community who tirelessly work to address the issues in our lives both individually and collectively.

Black Men & Women United have met weekly for no less than the past five years to work on solutions to problem areas in education, housing, homelessness, mental health, crime and law enforcement. These men and women have held Town Hall Meetings and Community Forums in partnership with the San Diego Voice & Viewpoint Newspaper. These men and women are not organized as a non-profit or for-profit organization.

They collect no funds and have no bank accounts by design. But they do work to support those organizations among us that are helping the very people BM&W United seek to help in carrying out their missions.

If you are a Black Man or Woman living in San Diego County, then

you are a part of this effort by birth.

There are no age discrepancies, job or jobless, young or older requirements.

The only requirement is to have a desire to serve our community and help others as we would want to be helped if we had the needs we see in others. The meetings are held every Tuesday morning from 8am until about 9:30am at 3619 College Avenue, the offices of the Voice & Viewpoint Newspaper.

Black Men United was initially organized in 2004 and met weekly for over five years until health, deaths, relocations and personal issues interfered.

The re-constituted organization has been active since 2015 and has hosted a number of County and City Officials and other invited guests to assist in finding solutions to a number of our current problems.

The San Diego Voice & Viewpoint Newspaper is proud to continue its partnership with Black Men & Women United and invites all interested persons to come out and get involved.

Tone Deaf Congress Wants Military Pork NNPA Newswire Contributor

Wouldn’t you think the Pentagon has a better idea of what they “need” than lobbyists? Or are the profits of this corporation more important than the fiscal prudence that so many in Washington crow about when looking at education, Social Security, health care or programs that address human needs?

There is much to object to about the “Defense” budget, as defense spending absorbs more than half of all of spending from our budget.

But spending on the F-35 aircraft is especially egregious. More than a trillion dollars will be spent on this aircraft — a trillion. Enough to eliminate all student debt, or fully endow the nation’s historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs)

Shape California’s Future

African American Community Leaders Urge Eligible Citizens to Apply for the 2020 Citizens Redistricting Commission by August 9

By Elaine M. Howle, CPA California State Auditor

In mid-June, California business leaders, government advocates, party representatives, and community leaders came together to join the California State Auditor’s Office at community events throughout the state. The occasion? We announced that the application period for Californians to apply to become a commissioner on the 2020 Citizens Redistricting Commission (Commission) had just begun.

I am pleased to report that this opportunity, which only comes every ten years, is being met with enthusiasm, and a call for Black and African American citizens to get involved.

What is this Commission? Every ten years, after the federal census, California must re-establish the boundaries of its Congressional, State Senate, State Assembly, and State Board of Equalization districts to reflect the State’s new population data and shifting populations. The Voters FIRST Act, passed in 2008, gave this power to California citizens through a 14-member independent commission to ensure that new and fair political boundaries would be drawn without special interests, politics, and political influence.

The process for selecting the new commissioners has begun.

California

citizens

of

diverse

backgrounds are encouraged to apply to ensure balanced and fair representation. At the end of the first week of the initial application period, which began on June 10, we received over a thousand applications— about six percent of those applicants identified themselves as Black or African American. We want to see the numbers grow!

This is a chance to become a part of creating transparent district boundaries that serve the best interests of all Californians and of the community. These district lines will determine where our representatives come from and will remain in effect for the next ten years. Any eligible citizen with a passion for civic engagement should apply to become one of 14 new commissioners.

Members of the 2020 Citizens Redistricting Commission will be selected from a group of eligible California citizens. This opportunity is open to registered voters who have been registered with the same political party or with no political party since July 1, 2015 and have voted in at least two of the last three statewide general elections.

Applications must be submitted online at shapecaliforniasfuture. auditor.ca.gov through August 9, 2019.

Al Abdallah, Chief Operating Officer, Urban League of San Diego County

“It is important that eligible citizens, particularly those from the Black community apply, and if selected, serve on the Citizens Redistricting Commission,” said Al Abdallah, Chief Operating Officer, Urban League of San Diego.

“Fair redistricting is critical to our community.”

The Commission will be comprised of five members who are Democrats, five members who are Republicans and four members who are registered either with another party or without a party preference. All political sides will be represented, so let’s work on making sure all Californians are represented and that the Commission is reflective of our state’s diversity.

This Commission will work best if everyone has a voice. Get involved.

Preparing for the Coming of 5G

By Julianne Malveaux

The F-35 stealth fighter aircraft is one expensive plane. It costs $135 million to produce a single aircraft, but Congress is prepared to authorize spending for 90 more planes, a dozen more than the Pentagon has requested. Why? Lobbyists for Lockheed Martin, the company that produces these aircraft, have exercised their fine art of persuasion to convince the House Armed Services Committee that these aircraft are needed for our national “defense.”

• Thursday, JULY 11, 2019

with money left over!

Newswire

What do we get from this trillion?

We get an aircraft with supply chain problems that the General Accounting Office has described as “falling short of warfighter requirements.”

Life as we know it is about to change in less than a nanosecond when 5G comes to neighborhoods across the U.S., and for some, it may be coming sooner than later. There’s good news and bad news.

Believe me, there is no room for F-35 fighter planes in the Moral Budget. Instead, the Poor People’s Campaign increased spending on human needs, like heath care, education, and that oh-so-basic need – food! It might have been impactful for members of the House Armed Services Committee to spend a few moments with the Poor People’s Congress, the thousand or so people who crowded into Trinity Hall at Trinity Washington University to demand equity in education, affordable health care, and more.

The bad news surrounds the real concern that the rollout of the latest and fastest high-speed Internet technology providing wide-ranging capabilities and cellular adaptations could bypass communities of color, specifically Black people. We know the Digital Divide is real, and we implore the Black community not to ignore what’s coming, fail to prepare for it or remain ill-equipped to ask the right questions.

The Poor People’s Moral Budget has the theme: “Everybody Has the Right to Live.” The budget would cut $350 billion in military spending, while increasing taxes on the wealthy, corporations, and Wall Street. It represents a paradigm shift from our nation’s current focus on militarism to a focus on human needs.

The good news is that those who are aware and focused on the potential of the new technology, will know what questions to ask to either welcome 5G with high expectations, or resist it until issues of safety, security, opportunities and equity are thoroughly vetted.

It is imperative that all communities take a hard look at the impending deployment of the fifth-generation of cellular technology and assess for themselves the policy decisions being made about 5G before it reaches their front door.

Washington, D.C. Council member Mary Cheh (D-Ward 3), who chairs the Committee on Transportation and the Environment, said at a roundtable on 5G in November 2018 that lasted nearly seven hours, “This is an exciting time in the District’s technological evolution.”

But, she acknowledged that District leaders, including advisory neighborhood commissioners, are limited in their ability to approve or disapprove aspects of 5G deployment, and she referred to the “FCC’s ruling [that] gives the federal government the power to decide how these local issues will play out, not the District” as an additional obstacle.

That’s why Montgomery County and other jurisdictions across the country are petitioning the federal courts to halt the national deployment of 5G and order the Federal Communications Commission to provide data on the safety of radio frequency emissions and its impact on human health.

The FCC, according to the petition, has refused requests and is relying on 25-year-old R.F. exposure standards to determine the safety of 5G. The petitioners are concerned that these 1996 scientific standards may not adequately protect public

health and safety today.

The fact is, the U.S. government has proclaimed it is in a “race to 5G” and it is determined to win against such countries as China, South Korea and Japan. To maintain its leadership position, the Trump administration has welcomed private sector technology companies to deploy 5G across the country with billions of dollars already having been invested in life-changing innovations enabling greater use of artificial intelligence, digital health, emergency communications, selfdriving vehicles and smart cities.

There is no doubt that 5G is on its way. Thus, we encourage everyone to keep a watchful eye on its deployment, and explore the tremendous opportunities 5G presents, as well as generational consequences it could have.

If you knew Mattie, you knew she was known for her sense of style and fashion, “Especially her hats and shoes”. She loved to cook and bake and was famously known for her Carmel Cakes, Lemon Cakes, Sweet Potato Pies and her Mac and Cheese. Mattie who loved the Lord, joined Greater Trinity Baptist Church in 1976. She loved singing and joined the choir immediately. After a few years of attending Greater Trinity, a man by the name of Oscar Massey slipped her a note asking her to call him. She let him wait for a few days before calling and the rest is history. Mattie and Oscar were joined in holy matrimony March 28, 1987. Mattie’s health began to fail her and was placed into an assisted living facility. She was surrounded by family and friends who would bring her favorite snacks, Chicharrons, Sees Bridge Mix, and Popeyes Fried Chicken Wings.

If Tommorrow Never Comes If I knew it would be the last time that I’d see you fall asleep, I would tuck you in the more tightly and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.

If I knew it would be the last time chat I see you walk out the door, I would give you a hug and kiss and call you back for one more.

If I knew it would be the last time I’d hear your voice lifted up in praise, I would videotape each action and word, so I could play them back day after day .

If I knew it would be the last time, I could spare and extra minute or two to stop and say, “I love you,” instead of assuming, you would know I do.

If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share your day, well I’m sure you’ll have so many more, so I can let just this one slip away.

For surely there’s always tomorrow to make up for an oversight, and we always get a second chance to make everything right.

There will always be another day to say “I love you’s”, And certainly there’s another chance to say our “Anything I can do’s ?”

But just in case I might be wrong, and today is all I get, I’d like to say how much I love you and I hope we never forget, Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike, And today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight .

So if you’re waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today?

For if tomorrow never comes, you’ll surely regret the clay, That you didn’t take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss, and you were too busy to grant someone·, what turned out to be their one last wish.

So hold your loved ones close today, whispher in their ear, Tell them how much you love them and that you’ll always hold them dear.

Take time to say “I’m sorry,” “please forgive me” “thank you” or “it’s okay” And if tomorrow never comes, you’ll have no regrets about today.

The Williams Family tree and all its branches came to San Diego to celebrate their “All Inclusive Family Reunion” over the Fourth of July holiday weekend. These are the off-springs of Mr. Aaron Williams and His Wife Alice, the first Black landowners in Brookhaven, Mississippi. As their Program Book stated: “We are One Family Honoring Our Beginnings While Soaring Together In Love To Our Bright Future.”

One of the highlights of their time together was a Saturday Picnic at Admiral Baker Field Park with lots of food and fellowship and a well organized event.

Mrs. Helen Thompson Edwards was the Committee Chairman for the event.

On Sunday, Family Worship was celebrated at the Greater Fellowship Baptist Church

with a farewell Dinner following church services. The Family Reunion had salutes and best wishes from the Mayor of San Diego, the Fourth District City Council member who made an appearance at the picnic, members of the State Assembly and the U.S.Congressman Vargas.

There were brief biographies of members of the Aaron Williams Branches of the family tree for over 16 members, many of whom had passed on but had their children and grandchildren representing them.

Next year’s Family Reunion will return to Brookhaven, Mississippi where it all began when Mr. Aaron Williams was freed and bought 80 acres of land to start his farm which he worked until the day of his death in 1941. He had been born into slavery on a plantation in Northern Mississippi in 1852.

Celebrates 6 Years At Four Corners

Photos: Voice & Viewpoint

Staff Writer Voice & Viewpoint

Saturday, July 6th, the intersection of Euclid and Imperial Avenue was alive with music, vendors, food trucks and a spirit of celebration and community. But it was not always like that. As a matter of fact, this very location used to be called the “Four Corners of Death” because of all the young people who lost their lives at this very location. But for the last six years the organization “Paving Greater Futures,” with the help of others in the community, has transformed this location into what is now boldly called the “Four Corners of Life.”

Stacey Butler, a former hardcore gang member from the old days, was instrumental in starting the conversion of this street corner to the “Four Corners of Life.”

Paving Greater Futures picked up the baton. This event is not only a celebration of life, it has also become an occasion to honor members of the community for their service. Many of those who have been honored here have been in-the-struggle for years, with no recognition. The real story of this celebration can only be told through experiencing the activity, by being there, at the Four Corners.

LEGACIES IN BLACK The Storied History of the Black Press Part II

Purveyors of news and information. Agents of social change.

TOU Tips Phase 5__Voice & Viewpoint_RUN: 07_11_2019__TRIM: 6.4375” x 10.5”

By Stacy M. Brown NNPA Newswire Correspondent

Frederick Douglass, W.E.B. DuBois, Ida B. Wells Barnett, Langston Hughes, Romare Bearden, James Weldon Johnson, Mary McLeod Bethune, and Daisy Bates are all names that are notable in many ways.

THESE TIPS ARE JUST IN TIME FOR SUMMER.

But, their contributions to the Black Press remain profound.

It’s the talent and fearlessness of such editors, publishers, journalists, cartoonists and contributors that have allowed the Black Press to survive and thrive regardless of many obstacles.

Today, the names of others including Bob Bogle, Dorothy Leavell, Danny Bakewell, Sr., Rod Doss, Rosetta Miller Perry and John Oliver – continue to carry forward the Black Press banner.

In a white paper posted on the website of the University of Illinois at Chicago, Dr. Jane Rhodes, the head of the department of African American studies said the Black Press [remains] a critical aspect of African American history and culture.

Rhodes likened the importance of the Black Press to churches, political and service organizations, and schools and universities.

Here are a few of my favorite summer tips to help you save between 4pm and 9pm when energy prices are highest: Use a portable or ceiling fan to save big on AC. Keep blinds and curtains closed during summer days to block out direct sunlight and reduce cooling costs.

Precool your home until 4pm, then set AC higher until 9pm.

Charge an electric vehicle before 4pm or after 9pm.

If you have a pool, run the pump before 4pm or after 9pm.

“The Black Press has been central to community formation, protest, and advocacy, education and literacy, and economic self-sufficiency,” Rhodes wrote.

Importantly, Rhodes noted that the Black Press “did not always follow the transformation of the mainstream press from a strictly partisan institution to a mass medium governed by ideals of objectivity.”

“African American journalism has played a dual role, serving as purveyors of news and information and as agents of social change,” Rhodes said, noting that the Black Press has always been a source of black American political power.

Journalist Vernon Jarrett once wrote about the importance of the Black Press to African Americans: “We didn’t exist in the early papers. We were never born, we didn’t get married, we didn’t die. We didn’t fight in any wars. We never participated in anything of scientific achievement. We were truly invisible, unless we committed a crime.”

“But, in the Black Press, the Negro press, we did get married,” Jarrett said.

“They showed us our babies being born.

They showed our graduations. They showed our Ph.D.’s.”

In a feature by the California Newsreel titled, “The Black Press: Soldiers without Swords,” several journalists noted the history of the Black Press and they highlighted a period in the late 1940s and early 1950s when black newspapers helped lay the groundwork for the Civil Rights movement.

The feature film’s narrators said the greatest achievements of the Black Press during that time were its “uncompromising political activism, increasing visibility, and recognition of its journalistic excellence.”

“Black newspapers muted their militancy to fend off accusations of Communism, and to appease big advertisers who had finally become interested in attracting black consumers,” the journalists noted.

At the same time, the mainstream press began to integrate its staffs, and hired some of the best African American reporters away from black newspapers.

As the Civil Rights movement developed, the Black Press covered breaking events across the country. Black newspapers sent reporters into whites-only lunch counters, to write about their experiences of being harassed and refused service.

They covered demonstrations, riots, and speeches by leaders such as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Honoring that history continues today.

With its annual convention in Cincinnati this year, the National Newspaper Publishers Association again gathers with its past and future in mind.

KENYA ON THE HOOK FOR WEST AFRICA INEQUALITY MILLIONS IN NATION’S CRISIS CALLED EXTERME WORST CORRUPTION CASE IN NEW REPORT

Villagers protesting dam construction

Global Information Network

You’re in for a wild ride when your favorite news show begins like this: “The Dams, the Scums, the Hyenas and the Thieves and that’s just the beginning.”

That was the voice of Francis Gachuri, anchor person for a lively news show on Citizen TV in Kenya. The topic was deadly serious – billions of shillings designated for the construction of two hydroelectric dams had gone missing and the company that took the money – CMC di Ravenna – just declared bankruptcy.

It’s been called Kenya’s biggest scandal yet and in a worst case scenario, Kenya could be on the hook for the billions of dollars it borrowed to get the project off the ground At least US$146 million of public money is at risk of being lost as the Italian contractor at the center of bribery claims involving Kenyan Cabinet Secretaries appears to have left the sites of three mega projects.

CMC Di Ravenna, which has been declared bankrupt at home in Italy, has abandoned the hydro-power and drinking water projects in Nakuru and Elgeyo Marakwet counties despite receiving a down payment from which it is alleged kickbacks were paid.

Before declaring itself insolvent, CMC di Ravenna had agreed to finance the Arror

and Kimwarer dams project located in Elgeyo Marakwet county, set up a power plant, transmission lines and other related infrastructure and recover its money by selling power to the government for an unspecified number of years before handing back the dams to the government.

But the local Kerio Valley Development Authority (KVDA) and the National Treasury went ahead and borrowed money in the name of taxpayers to launch the ghost projects.

CMC di Ravenna received US$77 million, while US$107 million went to insuring the project’s loan. Another US$49 million was given to Italy’s government as a commitment fee.

In a report just presented to the National Assembly, Auditor General Edward Ouko said he found no evidence of who was paid the money, when the money was paid and by who, and who granted the authority for the money to be paid. He added that no environmental impact assessment report was given for audit.

Further, it appeared that no compensation had been made to the affected community members.

The two projects would have provided water for irrigation for over 50,000 people living in the vast region, and 80 megawatts of electricity to the national grid.

Global Information Network

“Inequality has reached extreme levels in West Africa, and today the wealthiest 1 per cent of West Africans own more than everyone else in the region combined.”

That was the finding in a new report published by Oxfam and Development Finance International.

According to the “West Africa Inequality Crisis” report, six of the ten fastest-growing economies in Africa were in West Africa, with Ivory Coast, Ghana and Senegal among the world’s 10 fastest-growing economies.

“In most countries the benefits of this unprecedented economic growth have gone to a tiny few,” the report said.

The report said the vast majority of West Africans were “denied the most essential elements of a dignified life, such as quality education, healthcare and decent jobs”.

While West Africa suffers the most inequalities on the continent, many governments prefer to ignore problems despite economic growth, the report said.

five richest Nigerian men combined stands at US$29.9 billion - more than the country’s entire budget in 2017, the report said.

Rather than tackle inequality, some of the region’s governments were underfunding public services, such as health and education, and failing to tackle corruption, Oxfam’s regional director Adama Coulibaly said.

The report called on governments to do more to p promote progressive taxation, boost social spending, strengthen labor market protection, invest in agriculture and strengthen land rights for smallholders.

For example, it said the region loses an estimated US$9.6 billion annually because of corporate tax incentives offered by governments to attract investors.

But not all governments were tackling inequality the same way. Cape Verde, Mauritania and Senegal were among the most committed to reducing inequalities, it said, while Nigeria, Niger and Sierra Leone were among the least.

SOUTH AFRICAN CANDIDATE BURKINA FASO ORDERS FOR SPACE FLIGHT DIES STIFF PRISON TERM IN MOTORBIKE CRASH FOR ‘FAKE NEWS’ Global Information Network

Global Information Network

Family and friends are mourning the untimely death of Mandla Maseko, South Africa’s candidate to be the first Black African in space.

July 8, 2019 (GIN) - A law adopted on June 21 but still awaiting presidential approval would send writers to jail for up to 10 years’ jail for “demoralizing the defense and security forces of Burkina Faso.”

Maseko was killed when a car struck his bike in Pretoria over the weekend. He was 30.

In 2013, the part-time disc jockey and candidate officer for the South African air force beat a million entrants from 73 countries to become one of 23 people chosen to win a trip to space and a spot at the U.S.based Axe Apollo Space Academy.

He spent a week training at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida in 2015.

“I want to be able to float and see outside the window and see this big, round, blue and white ball that is called Earth,’’ Maseko told The Associated Press in 2014 Born to a school cleaner and auto tool maker in Soshanguve township near Pretoria, his win was a source of national pride and had neighbours high-fiving him for putting South Africa’s townships on the “galactic map”.

He spent a week at the Kennedy Space Academy in Florida where he skydived and undertook air combat and G-force training.

While there he met and posed for pictures with US astronaut Buzz Aldrin, who was the second man ever to set foot on the moon after

A fine of up to $3,500 would be imposed for publishing what the government called “fake news information compromising security operations, false information about rights abuses or destruction of property, or images and audio from a “terrorist” attack.”

Neil Armstrong as part of the 1969 Apollo 11 space mission.

He had been originally scheduled to fly in 2015 but no firm plans for his trip had been made public at the time of his death.

Dubbed “Afronaut,” Maseko never got to experience his dream. The company organizing the flight, XCOR Aerospace, went bankrupt in 2017.

He went on to become an avid public speaker and community worker who inspired many African children to pursue careers in science, the family statement said.

Such censorship of the media brought criticism from the New York-based Committee to Project Journalists. Revisions to the country’s penal code, they pointed out, would criminalize using any means of communication to disseminate information about terrorist attacks and security forces. The code also criminalizes the “demoralization” of defense and security forces “by whatever means.”

“President Roch Marc Christian Kabore and the Constitutional Council should reject changes to Burkina Faso’s penal code that criminalize disseminating information and reporting on security concerns,” said Angela Quintal, Africa program coordinator for the media watchdog. “Under no circumstances should journalists face imprisonment or

crippling financial penalties for their work.”

The Burkinabe Constitutional Council, a government-appointed body charged with determining the constitutionality of the country’s laws, should block enactment by declaring the articles to be unconstitutional, said Guezouma Sanogo, president of Burkina Faso’s Journalists’ Association, an independent professional organization.

A number of media organizations in the country have written letters to both Kaboré and the council, which CPJ has reviewed, expressing concern about the code revisions.

The revisions also expand a section of the penal code to criminalize online publications that insult the memory of a dead person without consideration for those close to them.

AARP Sponsors Cross-Country Doc on Alzheimer’s Newswire Photo: Wikimedia Commons

The AARP has sponsored documentary filmmakers Zach Jordan and Peter Schankowitz to embark on a cross-country road trip this month to document stories of Alzheimer’s patients.

Titled “My Alzheimer’s Road Trip,” the venture goes from Los Angeles to Philadelphia and will include eight stops in U.S. cities, where they will interview and conduct a video library for those affected by the brain disease.

Jordan, who is also affected by the disease, said in an interview with the AARP Bulletin, “People will have this giant resource in front of them that they can tap into, and the more stories that we collect, the

more powerful the library becomes.”

“The first step for us was to be able to tell my story,” Jordan said. “Once that foundation was laid, then we could really get to work on doing the most fulfilling part of this; interviewing all these different types of people, sitting down with them, and giving them a voice.”

The filmmakers connected with AARP’s Global Council on Brain Health (GCBH), a repository of information on maintaining cognitive health, and geriatric physician Jason Karlawish, a member of the GCBH’s governance committee, to help find applications for their work.

“Think of [the] story as the missing link of data,” Jordan said.

Kalawish first asks families to describe a typical day for the patient, which lays down the foundation of their individual stories and provides an understanding of that individual’s life and care.

The filmmakers hope that brain health will be a topic discussed by the next presidential candidates. By illustrating these journeys across America, they aim to provide diverse perspectives and voices for the disease.

“It’s really important for us, especially for the caregiver and patient stories, to give them a platform to be able to show that the family experience in Austin and Phoenix is very different than the family experiences that are happening in Johnson City, Tenn., or Louisville, Ky.,” Jordan said.

African-Americans Less Likely to Get Rehab Care After Injuries Reuters

When people with moderate or severe injuries are discharged from the hospital, follow-up care, especially at rehabilitation centers, is a crucial part of their recovery - but African Americans are less likely than white patients to seek out or receive these important services, a U.S. study suggests.

“The results are important in that they highlight yet another disparity that exists in this vulnerable patient population,” study coauthor Dr. George Kasotakis from Duke

University School of Medicine in Durham, North Carolina, told Reuters Health by email.

doctors’ offices or clinics for injury-related visits, compared to 47.0 percent of whites.

Kasotakis and colleagues analyzed data from three trauma centers in Boston on 182 black and 1,117 white patients who were injured between December 2015 and July 2018.

African-Americans, however, were more likely than white patients to go back to emergency rooms for problems related to their injuries.

When contacted between six and 12 months after they’d left the hospital, only 64.3 percent of the black patients said they had sought rehab services after discharge, compared to 79.8 percent of white patients. Similarly, only 40.0 percent of African-Americans went to

The pattern was similar when the research team compared two matched subsets: 141 black and 628 white patients who were similar in age, gender, insurance status and injury type. Compared to white patients, AfricanAmericans were 36 percent less likely to use rehabilitation services, and they had 41

percent fewer outpatient visits.

Dabbling in Facebook Cryptocurrency?

Democrats say “Watch Out for Libra”

Newswire

WASHINGTON – On July 2nd, Committee Democrats including House Financial Services Chair Maxine Waters (D-CA) and Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee Chair Al Green (D-TX) wrote a letter to Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg and his executive team requesting an immediate moratorium on the implementation of Facebook’s proposed cryptocurrency, called Libra, and a digital wallet to store this cryptocurrency, known as Calibra.

Privacy and security are the Democrats’ major concerns, plus evidence that Facebook users influenced by peer pressure to money in out-of-control ways.

Committee the growing are overly spend their

“Because Facebook is already in the hands of over a quarter of the world’s population, it is imperative that Facebook and its partners immediately cease implementation plans until regulators and Congress have an opportunity to examine these issues and take action,” the lawmakers wrote. The lawmakers plan to hold public hearings on “the risks and benefits of cryptocurrency-based activities and explore legislative solutions,” they said, in order to protect consumers.

“While Facebook has published a “white

paper” on these projects, the scant information provided about the intent, roles, potential use, and security of the Libra and Calibra exposes the massive scale of the risks and the lack of clear regulatory protections,” the Congressional Democrats’ letter said.Investors and consumers were cautioned that Libra might expose them “to serious privacy and national security concerns, cyber security risks, and trading risks. Those using Facebook’s digital wallet – storing potentially trillions of dollars without depository insurance– also may become unique targets for hackers. For example, during the first three quarters of 2018, hackers stole nearly $1 billion from cryptocurrency exchanges.

The system could also provide an underregulated platform for illicit activity and money laundering,” it continued.

The letter went on to sight Facebook’s “troubled past” violating fair housing laws, posting “2.2 billion fake accounts” and allowing 50 million users’ private data to Cambridge Analytica, the consulting firm hired by Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign, where it “did not always keep its users’ information safe.”

“During this moratorium, we intend to hold public hearings on the risks and benefits of cryptocurrency-based activities and

explore legislative solutions. Failure to cease implementation before we can do so, risks a new Swiss-based financial system that is too big to fail,” the letter said.

hearing is scheduled for next Wednesday, July 17.

Regulatory Rollback on Student Loans Takes Away Borrower Protections Charlene Crowell Special to the Voice & Viewpoint

Every Fourth of July celebrates this nation’s founding. But this year, only a few days before the annual freedom celebration, an ill-advised governmental action will financially doom rather than free millions of student loan borrowers.

announced the end of an important student loan regulation that since 2015 has held colleges with career training programs accountable for failure to provide an education that resulted in marketable skills and earnings high enough to repay student loans.

Moreover, this action arrives as the cost of higher education continues to soar and household incomes remain largely stagnant.

Known as the Gainful Employment rule, it required career and technical training programs that receive federal financial aid to prove that students would receive the education promised or forfeit future federal funding

dollars. Additionally, covered institutions and programs were required to disclose to prospective students the career earnings and student debts of recent graduates.

In other words, the rule was intended to rein in abusive schools before they could harm students or waste taxpayer-funded aid.

Finalized in 2014, the rule was too late to help the tens of thousands of student borrowers affected by the failures of huge for-profit institutions, Corinthian Colleges, and ITT Technical Institute. Borrowers at these now-shuttered colleges were left without degrees, or credits that could be transferred, but carried with them unaffordable debts that have devastated the stability of their families. These closures also resulted in massive losses to taxpayers who fund federal financial aid.

Even so, the Gainful Employment rule has been effective in two other ways. First, it pushed many other for-profit institutions to cut their worst performing programs. Secondly, it controlled tuition costs. Either violation brought regulatory sanctions.

Now, instead of these protections, consumers are left on their own — directed to an expanded web resources known as a “College Scorecard” where information on student debt and earnings now includes 2,100 certificategranting programs.

“These important reforms are a more complete and effective way to hold all types of higher education institutions accountable and make sure that students have a full suite of data when making a decision about their education,” said Secretary DeVos in a statement.

Saying that information is the equivalent of regulation is simply not true. Effective

regulations impose penalties, fines, and conditions on future actions – all to deter bad actors from repeating behaviors. By contrast, information only discloses with no guarantee that what is shared will be truthful, complete, or current.

Elected officials and consumer advocates were quick to point out the shortcomings of student loan deregulation. “[B]y eliminating this rule without enforcing any alternative standard the Education Department is giving low-quality, for-profit colleges a free pass to charge high tuition for worthless credentials that leave students with insurmountable debt,” noted Rep. Bobby Scott, chairman of the House Committee on Education and Labor.

CRL found that women and Blacks suffer disparate impacts, particularly at for-profit institutions, where they are disproportionately enrolled in most states. For example, enrollment at Mississippi’s for-profit colleges was 78 percent female and nearly 66 percent Black.

Other states with high Black enrollment at forprofits included Georgia (57 percent), Louisiana (55 percent), Maryland (58 percent) and North Carolina (54 percent).

With 44 million student borrowers owing $1.5 trillion nationwide at the end of 2019’s first quarter, removing federal guard rails against future borrower risk is as costly as it is unsustainable. As the federal government turns its back on these borrowers, perhaps another level of government can and will fill the void.

REPUBLICAN : continued from cover

Being Black and Republican in the Era of Trump Presents Real Challenges

your china. I start slicing your drapes, tearing up your carpet, putting holes in your walls.

party) African American Republicans may have an even more difficult task of letting people know where they stand.

“So, at that point, do you leave, or do you kick my ass out?

You’re going to kick me out.

That’s where I am. I’m not leaving. This is my house.

In fact, prominent Republicans like South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott and Telly Lovelace, who once was responsible for African American outreach, press strategy and field engagement for the Republican National Committee, nixed requests by the NNPA Newswire to detail life as a Black Republican.

We also reached out to others without success including Herman Caine, Condoleezza Rice, Dr. Ben Carson, and Armstrong Williams.

Perhaps they weren’t able to articulate what former RNC Chair Michael Steele could – “I mean, you know, people don’t ask Democrats that question when they had their crazy leftwingers out there,” Steele said.

“But, you know in any political climate there are underlying arguments for being reasonable and in my view, which is why I remain a Republican, is that despite Donald Trump, there’s still a balance and there’s still underlying arguments for Republicanism that are still valid,” Steele said.

“The principles are still valid,” he said before offering a reminder of what he told a Washington Post reporter in 2018.

“You invite me over to a nice dinner and I come to your home. And during the course of that evening, I start breaking

“I know I gotta repair the drapes and patch up the holes in the walls and replace the carpet. But your ass will be gone and that’s the goal,” Steele said.

Shekinah Monee, of Perfect Vision PR Company, said as a Republican in the current climate it’s often difficult when she discusses her views to fellow African Americans who don’t favor her party.

“I had to reevaluate my views and why I was with a [Democratic] party that did not support me. “I think that the African American community truly needs to read and know their history. I think that a lot of people dislike a person and let it speak for the party,” she said.

Having worked in Republican politics for 15 years and being the head of the only black GOP political campaign consulting firm, Richard S. Holt said his experience shows that having an all-white administration makes many African Americans believe that the party is racist.

“My friends and family understand this narrative and how it works in terms of the politics of race,” Holt said.

holding back black progress.

As I grew up, I began to get a better understanding of his ideas,” said Holt, whose father was the first in his family to get a college degree and the first black chemist to graduate from his college,” he said.

“I was taught a very ‘up by the bootstraps’ idea that we had to be smarter, be wiser, and work harder than whites to get ahead,” Holt said.

Jonathan Farley, whose father is a native of Guyana who holds a Ph.D. from the London School of Economics, and his mother who is Jamaican and holds a Ph.D. in American history, said he’s an independent who voted Republican in the 2018 midterm elections.

“I decided to do that because of the Democratic Party’s support for alternative lifestyle groups and the party’s support for women who make false allegations against men like the #MeToo movement,” Farley said.

Despite his conversion, Farley said he doesn’t believe African Americans as a whole will ever be convinced that the Republican party has the community’s best interest in mind.

“Republicans should make it clear that the Democratic party supports anti-Christian efforts like teaching kindergarteners about transsexuals and Republicans should stop taking the side of neo-Confederate groups and the party should publicly state that Confederate statues need to be removed,” Farley said.

“My father was very conservative and hated the Democrats who he saw as

PRESS:

continued from page 10

The convention provides an opportunity for publishers of the Black Press to plot a course that helps African-Americanowned newspapers to continue the mission of its forefathers.

“It’s an opportunity for us to learn about some of the trends and things that are happening in the world, and how we can continue to motivate,” Campbell said.

“It gives us an opportunity to meet and convene to talk about issues that we normally don’t have the time to sit and discuss,” said Cloves Campbell, publisher of the Arizona Informant.

Denise Rolark Barnes, publisher of the Washington Informer, said the importance of the role Black Press has in the community can never be overstated.

uplift the black community and we take that role seriously,” Rolark Barnes said.

“We try and find ways to get our message out and to articulate what our community’s needs are and how we are actually working to serve those needs,” she said. “I think the number role we have is to keep our community informed, educated and inspired.”

“We have the responsibility to

INJURIES:

continued from page 12

Traumatic injuries can result in reduced quality of life, chronic pain, psychological disturbances and the burden of high medical costs, the study authors note in the American Journal of Surgery.

Rehabilitation services have been found to improve longterm outcomes and functional independence after injury.

Independent of socioeconomic status, African American trauma patients have been found in previous studies to have a higher mortality rate and a higher likelihood of longterm disability compared to white patients, the researchers write.

Prior studies have also shown that injured African American patients are more likely to be sent home when they leave the hospital, rather than

being sent to rehab centers or skilled nursing facilities, the researchers note.

Dr. Anthony Fabio, an assistant professor of epidemiology at the University of Pittsburgh who wasn’t involved in the current study, pointed out that it doesn’t address whether affluent African Americans are more or less likely to receive rehabilitation services than their low-income counterparts.

“Being black isn’t the issue,” Fabio said in a phone interview.

“The issue is probably that there’s institutionalized racism in the United States and if you’re African American you’re more likely to be born in a poor neighborhood, which has a whole plethora of disadvantages as you grow up and move through life.”

Patients’ understanding of the

importance of follow-up care, access to rehab services and distrust of medical providers could be contributing to the disparities, the researchers write.

Having doctors engage in more active conversations with patients on the benefits of post-injury care and setting up systems providing resources such as transportation to make it easier to access rehab centers could help, Fabio said.

The experts admit it will be difficult to resolve the disparity, given the innate issues at play.

“How can you address lower education, lower pay, lack of quality insurance across the board?” said Kasotakis, noting that expanding mandatory insurance has helped close the gaps to a certain extent.
