In May, less than a week after the Assembly approved the landmark bill that Black Legislative Caucus chair Shirley Weber (D-San Diego) authored, police officers in Walnut Creek, a suburb of Oakland, shot and killed Miles Hall. He was a 23-year-old African-American man. In the police report of the incident, which happened June 2, police officers say Hall threatened his mother before she called them to the scene of the killing. He was reportedly carrying a metal pole. Since Hall’s death, there have been six more police-involved shootings in the state. California has one of the highest rates of police shootings in the country. Citing numbers from 2013 to 2017, an advocacy group called Mapping Police Violence, ranked the Bakersfield Police Department the fifth deadliest in the United States. And The Guardian reported that Kern County had the “deadliest police force in the country” in 2015, a ranking determined by the Central Valley county’s high rate of officer-involved shootings per capita that year. According to a Washington Post database tracking police killings of civilians since 2015, there have been a total of 661 police-involved shootings in California over the last 4 years. Of that number, California police officers shot and killed 107 African Americans. Across the country, there have been a total of 4,510 police-involved fatal shootings within that same fourand-a-half-year period. Up until Aug 17, 2019, police officers have killed 570 people by deadly force across the country. In California, this year alone, there have been 79 deaths resulting from police officer shootings. Twelve of the those killed were Black Californians. In this report, California Black Media revisits 17 of the most prominent cases of police deadly force involving African American victims in the state since 1998. Tyisha Miller, 19 (Riverside) On Dec. 28, 1998, Tyisha Miller was reportedly unconscious, sitting inside a locked vehicle with a handgun, in full view, in her lap. Police officers, responding to a 911 call from a Unocal 76 station, broke the vehicle’s window in an attempt to reach Miller. Four police officers - two who were on the force for less than a year at the time of the incident - pulled out their weapons and fired 23 shots. Twelve bullets hit Miller, taking her life. The public later learned that Miller locked her car and fell asleep while the car was idling. She was reportedly waiting for help to fix a flat tire. A friend who was riding with Miller

earlier said she had gone back to where they lived to get someone to help them. Over $22 million was spent to settle the case, reports say. The incident prompted then-California Attorney General Bill Lockyer to order reforms to police use-of-force and lethal weapon guidelines. Riverside County’s Press-Enterprise reported in Dec. 2014 that the most significant police department changes were described in an agreement known as a “stipulated judgement” brokered between the city of Riverside and Lockyer. “The stipulation became the first of its kind in the county. It was California’s version of federal consent decrees that “mandated changes in departments found to have patterns of discrimination, excessive force or other civil rights violations,” the Press-Enterprise wrote on Dec. 19, 2014. Oscar Grant, 22, (Oakland) During the early hours of New Year’s Day 2009, Oscar Grant, the father of one child, was shot in the back and killed by Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) officer Johannes Mehserle. Before the tragic incident, Grant had been detained on the platform of the Fruitvale BART train station in Oakland. In May, a newly unsealed BART internal report confirmed that Grant’s death was more than likely not an accident and that one of the cops involved lied numerous times about the events leading up to Grant’s death. Senate Bill 1421, a California police transparency bill that went into effect this year, made it possible for journalists to make a request for BART’s police report of the incident and release it to the public. SB 1421 is expected to increase accuracy in police reports about the details of officer-involved shootings and cases. On July 8, 2010, Mehserle was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter, but not guilty of the murder and voluntary manslaughter charges. He claimed he was reaching for his Taser and not his weapon. Grant’s shooting sparked waves of protests in Oakland and across the country that led to the arrests of more than100 people. James Rivera, 16 (Stockton) James Rivera was shot 38 times by Stockton Police Department officers on July 22, 2010.
In 2012, the San Joaquin DA’s office ruled that the deadly use of force was justified, alleging that Rivera was driving a stolen van in reverse at high speed, intending to hit the officers. Then in July 2017, a federal judge for the Eastern District of California said in a 12-page ruling that the officers’ testimonies were inconsistent and that the plaintiffs raised reasonable doubt as to whether it was possible for Rivera to back up the van out of a garage.

Kendrec McDade, 19 (Pasadena)
Dante Parker, 36 (Victorville)
On March 24, 2012, two Pasadena police officers shot and killed Kendrec McDade.
Dante Parker, the father of five children, was tasered multiple times by a deputy from the San Bernardino County’s Sheriff’s Department on Aug. 12, 2014.
The cops said they were responding to a robbery report when they encountered the local football star and Pasadena City College student. McDade was unarmed and had no criminal record.
The judge ruling opened a path for a jury trial in a wrongful death lawsuit expected to begin in November.
Some witnesses said McDade was at the “wrong the place at the wrong time.”
Shaleem Tindle, 28 (Oakland)
A caller, who reported that a backpack and laptop were stolen at gunpoint, later confessed that the reported strong-arm robbery never occurred. He said he made up the story to get a quicker response from police.
On Jan. 3, 2018, Shaleem Tindle was shot three times in the back by a BART officer in West Oakland. Police alleged that he was in a fight with another man and that Tindle was carrying a gun. The Alameda County District Attorney cleared BART Police Officer Joseph Mateu of all charges related to Tindle’s shooting in October 2018. Tindle was reportedly walking to the BART Station with his fiancée, two young children, and his fiancee’s sister when he got into an argument with another man.
McDade, who was in the vicinity when police arrived, allegedly ran when he was approached by the police. The cops, then, reportedly began to pursue him. The officers said they feared for their lives after chasing McDade into a dark alley.
The two ended up wrestling on the sidewalk outside a barber shop and taqueria.
They claim McDade turned around and ran toward the patrol call and that he reached for a weapon in his pants.
Police say two shots were fired during the tussle.
The officers shot McDade four times.
Officer Mateu heard the shots from his position in a BART Station about a block away. He ran toward the scene where he found the men grappling before shooting Tindle.

On Feb. 7, 2012, an Orange County Sheriff’s Deputy shot and killed Manuel Loggins, a U.S. Marine sergeant and married father of three. The officer shot Loggins through the window of his vehicle. According to the police report, Loggins allegedly crashed through a parking lot gate at San Clemente High School while driving his GMC Yukon with his two daughters, then ages 9 and 14, in the car. The officer said he asked Loggins, who was unarmed, to show his hands before he shot him three times. Loggins was reportedly a devout
Prosecutors say the deputy’s actions were justified and that Parker had PCP in his system. The deputy was reportedly responding to a call about a man who was breaking into a home. Deputies said Parker, who was about 5 feet, two inches and weighed around 300 pounds, fit the description of the suspect. They also claim Parker was “combative,” did not cooperate with authorities and resisted arrest. According to reports, Parker was tasered about a dozen times while deputies scuffled with him. Apparently, the deputies were able to handcuff him, place him in a patrol car, and administer medical aid. After arriving at Victor Valley Global Hospital, Parker went into cardiac arrest and died. His autopsy report ruled his death accidental. His family settled for $250,000 in June 2016. See our next issue for Part 2 of: Remembering the Victims: 107 Black Californians Dead Since 2015
In January 2017, the city of Los Angeles agreed to pay $1.5 million to the family of Ezell Ford, who was fatally shot by two LAPD police officers on Aug. 11, 2014. Ford’s family said he had been diagnosed with depression, bi-polar disorder and schizophrenia. The LA District Attorney’s Office did not file charges against the officers who say they approached Ford because he was acting suspicious and allegedly tried to dispense an illegal substance, according to their official report. The officers claim they had to physically struggle with Ford before using deadly force against him, saying they feared for their lives.
Ford’s family says he was shot three times while lying on the ground.

A Salute to San Diegans Supporting And Helping Others By Dr. John E. Warren Publisher
Saturday, August 24th was a special and exciting day in the city of San Diego. Special in that it was the weekend before the start of this school year for those students not on year round schedules. It was a time of multiple back-to-school give-aways. The Jackie Robinson YMCA had a couple of hundred parents and children waiting in line for the beginning of its give-
away of back-to-school supplies; the American Legion Post 310, just a few blocks from the YMCA, also gave away back-to-school backpacs and schools supplies although to a smaller number of parents and children, as they have done annually for a number of years.
organization not only had backto-school supplies, but also free haircuts for the kids, donated by young Barbers, and Parks and Recreation and a number of other County Services for several hundred parents and children who stood in the sun for hours.
But perhaps the biggest backto-school event was held at the Spring Valley Community Center. There the Paving Great Futures
While these events were taking place, Bethel Baptist Church members were providing a day of services to the homeless
that included breakfast, lunch, and showers for those in need and a number of people and organizations providing services. All of these events were expressions of caring and sharing in terms of helping others of all ages and these activities were not coordinated, but the result of each group’s idea of filling a need. These are the kinds of efforts that get too little attention
and appreciation as we have a tendency to spend more time on problems than the rewards that come with meeting the needs around us. The San Diego Voice & Viewpoint newspaper says “Thank you” to all those who not only got involved this past weekend, but worked very hard to meet some very real needs. We are sure there were others doing things that we missed. We say thank you to them also.
Congressional Black Caucus – Warriors or Wimps? Harry C. Alford & Kay DeBow
Let us start this by looking at the stated goals of the Congressional Black Caucus. According to Wikipedia: “The caucus describes its goals as ‘positively influencing the course of events pertinent to African Americans and others of similar experience and situation’, and ‘achieving greater equity for persons of African descent in the design and content of domestic and international programs and services.” “The CBC encapsulates these goals in the following priorities: closing the achievement and opportunity gaps in education, assuring quality health care for every American, focusing on employment and economic security, ensuring justice for all, retirement security for all Americans, increasing welfare funds, and increasing equity in foreign policy.” Please note “increasing welfare funds” which we believe is a big flaw in their approach to economic empowerment of our people. It gets very “over-weighted” in their mission and general activities.
History will show that the CBC got too carried away with promoting welfare funds versus opportunity via capital access and procurement development. Why won’t they embrace capitalism? The biggest rage right now in terms of economic development is “Opportunity Zones”. It is a fascinating approach to invigorating our communities and generating new capital for investment. Yet, the CBC won’t endorse it. Why? Because it is the vision of Black U.S. Senator Tim Scott. Senator Scott is not a member of the CBC. In fact, when you look at all the programs that promote Black business procurement you find very few “footprints” of the CBC. Our concerns about the emasculated CBC is the recent past. When Barack Obama became President, the CBC automatically bowed to his wishes. He decided to destroy the National Black Chamber of Commerce to appease the white labor unions who deplored equal opportunity, opposing Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The
unions were happy, and the CBC kowtowed to the desertion by the Obama Administration. The result was the obliteration of the gains made during the George W. Bush Administration. SBA lending was reaching new highs until Obama came in and shut the door. Today, the levels hardly register. Black procurement was reaching 8% through the activities of the SBA (8a Development Program) but now are less than 2%. There has not been a stir from the CBC about these two tragedies. The big problem is this: The key congressional committee to solve the capital access problem is the Financial Services Committee. It is chaired by Maxine Waters and the DNC. The prospects of any improvement look very dim. They want to wait for a new Democratic president who could take the credit. But we saw what happened when we had the last Democrat president. He fought against us with a vengeance. The CBC had a Democratic House, Senate and White House and did nothing to increase our productivity at the federal level. In fact, they watched
as we faltered, and they lost the White House, Congress and Senate. It was cool to them – we had a Black President. So now here we are. They are clueless about the damage done to our 8a firms. They won’t even make mention of the Capital Access declining under their watch. Why can’t they do the following: Quarterly review Black procurement of each federal agency and demand a continuum of progress. Also, hold financial institutions accountable for the levels of Black business lending both commercially and through the SBA lending program. If they challenge the Trump Administration positive changes would occur (as opposed to the Obama disasters). Yes, President Trump would claim the improvement, but they can show the world how they motivated him through their determination to improve Black economic development as opposed to welfare building. Such activity would bring back the days of the late Parren J.
Mitchell, Shirley Chisholm and Adam Clayton Powell (Founders of the CBC) who were steadfast in their mission to include Black America in the capitalistic activities of our great nation. Oh, we miss them so! As we sing on Sunday morning: “Give me that old time religion” the same can apply towards the Congressional Black Caucus. It appears to have lost its roots. This is America! We are a capitalistic system which should be inclusive of the Black segment of our population. From this point on, the CBC should report to our Black community the quarterly progress it is making on Black lending and procurement. Also, it should resurrect the strength and longevity of our 8a development program. This program developed more Black millionaires than all the other federal programs combined. As a minimum this is what they can do if they really care about the economic plight of Black America. Come on CBC -REPRESENT!!!!
Mental Health Awareness Matters Cierra Mayes, Texas Metro News Writer
With so much going on in the world today, there are many realworld issues that are in need of our focus. One of these issues happens in our everyday lives: mental health. There is so much awareness that needs to be brought to mental health that goes unnoticed. Many of these issues began from trauma caused in one’s life. If we took the time to address these problems, we would be able to avoid many wrong doings of others in our community and around the world. Everyone has that one friend they don’t see eye to eye with sometime. For many people, I know that friend can be anxiety. Anxiety happens to everyone whether you realize it or not.
It can become a bigger issue when it’s affecting your everyday life and you believe what you’re feeling is true. Anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, eating disorders, PTSD, and more, are all things that can be controlled. Depression is another issue that is triggered from one’s trauma. It is important that if you face one of the many issues, you seek help. There are many who are willing to help those that are affected. Raven Fairley, a graduate student from the University of Missouri, with a focus in sports management, has created a platform that focuses on the mental health issues of professional athletes. Even though she focuses on
professional athletes, she is willing to help anyone in need. “The Silent Injury” is an organization Ms. Fairley created to share with others the importance of mental health. Growing up in a sport household where her grandfather, father, and uncle had always been involved in sports, sports was something that she knew about and kept her focus towards. She says the reason she wants to focus on professional athletes is because they are the ones that have issues that go unnoticed. “Injury depression is real. I’ve experienced up close with a lot of my guy friends in football and basketball.
“When they get injured, they wonder if they’re going to be back on the field, or while they’re out, who’s going to take their spot, and ‘when I get heeled, am I going to have my spot back?’ For them, they’re not only in physical pain, but mental pain as well,” she said. Mental health awareness in athletes is definitely an issue that should be addressed. High profile cases such as the O.J. Simpson trial and Aaron Hernandez case are prime examples. Many players have their mind focused on playing sports professionally, and if it doesn’t happen some began to think negative thoughts about what they are doing and other options
for their future. The environment you are raised in plays a big role in anyone’s mental health. For athletes, if you have your family depending on you to make it, it can hurt that player mentally if a pro career doesn’t materialize, Ms. Fairley said. “Just seeing in the Black community that we don’t necessarily acknowledge mental health issues, we just kind of push them off to the side, really caught my interest. We always hear “just pray about it” and just kind of brush it under the rug. Even though mental health issues are becoming a problem in the media, it has always been an issue.” Besides See HEALTH Page 15

Graveside services was held Wednesday, August 21, 2019 at Holy Cross Catholic Cemetery, Culver City, California; followed by a memorial service at Marlene’s Community Room, Los Angeles, California.

less than an hour, and then (protestors) requested to be escorted across the bridge by law enforcement. We have groups who were trying to create the conditions for another Charlottesville…” Black community leaders found reason to celebrate in the aftermath of August 24th gathering of rightwing extremists in Portland. “My read of the situation is that we wanted these White nationalists and alt-right leaders out of our community. And the police gave them the quickest and most expedient way to get out of our city, and I feel comfortable with that,” Eric K. Ward, executive director of Western States Center, told The Skanner. “We saw a five-hour rally that lasted for less than an hour, and then (protestors) requested to be escorted across the bridge by law enforcement. We have groups who were trying to create the conditions for another Charlottesville. They started coming here looking for fights, and this time they didn’t really get that. And then most couldn’t find their way back to their car. I think that really described the day,” he said. Members of the Southern Poverty Law Center-designated hate group Proud Boys organized the unpermitted rally at downtown Portland’s waterfront, with the stated purpose of getting antifascist demonstrators in the city denounced as a monolithic domestic terrorist organization by officials. Police estimates total attendance at the protest and counter-protest
at about 1,200, with members of alt-right groups numbering about 500. Local media estimates placed the number of Proud Boys at 200 to 300 and the number of counterprotesters at 1000 to 1,200. Law enforcement officials kept both groups apart, allowing Proud Boys members and supporters to exit east on Hawthorne Bridge after a brief demonstration. Police said they arrested 13 people during the demonstration, most on charges of disorderly conduct, and seized a small number of weapons including bear spray. Alexander G. Dial, 37, was charged with attempted assault in the second degree and unlawful use of a weapon, and Brandon Howard, 33, was charged with assault in the fourth degree and disorderly conduct in the second degree. “I think the community came out strong,” Kayse Jama, executive director of Unite Oregon, told The Skanner. “It really became more of a festival celebration mood than a rally. The community outnumbered the White supremacists in large numbers,” he said. Ward and Jama said they were satisfied with the police response to the rally, and praised city leadership overall. Such commendations did not come easily. Mayor Ted Wheeler held a press conference at Pioneer Square in anticipation of the Proud Boy rally, warning of a zero-tolerance policy for violence. The event featured a more than 80-member coalition of supporting agencies, nonprofits
and individuals in the community, with brief speeches by legislators and community leaders. Both Ward and Jama spoke, and both took exception to what they saw as “false equivalences” from city officials that White supremacist demonstrators and counter-protestors posed an equal threat of violence. “Let me speak first to our law enforcement community: There is no neutral ground,” Jama said at Wednesday’s conference, pointing out that White nationalist groups planning to attend the rally “are well-trained, armed militia.” At the scheduled start time of the rally that Saturday, a handful of White nationalist protesters in paramilitary gear milled around the esplanade of Tom McCall Waterfront Park south of Morrison Bridge, where they were outnumbered by photographers and other members of local and national press. North of the bridge, a larger group of counter-protestors assembled for an adapted Shabbat service led by Rabbi Debra Kolodny in front of the Battleship Oregon Memorial. At one point, Kolodny, of Portland United Against Hate, showed the crowd where she’d written the number of the National Lawyers Guild on her forearm. “My great aunts and uncles had numbers of death written on their arms, and I have numbers of solidarity and support written on mine,” Kolodny said. “While many of us might have our epigenetic trauma triggered by what’s happening right now, I want to assure everyone that what happened before is not going
to happen again.” Portland NAACP President Rev. E.D. Mondainé followed, telling the crowd, “It is time to rally our allies and quickly recruit them as accomplices that will stand with the disenfranchised and those who are marginalized in our cities across America in our fight for freedom.” Kolodny told The Skanner that the event was part of The Spectacle, Portland Popular Mobilization’s counter-protest, which aimed to distract from White supremacist demonstrators. “I went to an organizing meeting of Pop Mob, and I learned of their desire to create a counter presence that they called ‘The Spectacle’ that would be filled with song and dance and music and juggling and satire and humor, to create a unifying community experience that was joyful and connecting, and just counterbalancing,” Kolodny said. Groups involved in The Spectacle included NAACP Portland, Portland Jobs with Justice, Rose City Antifa, Portland Democratic Socialists of America, the Interfaith Clergy Resistance, Portland Industrial Workers of the World, the Buddhist Peace Fellowship, and the Queer Liberation Front. In practice, The Spectacle encouraged a gathering of not just masked protestors often associated with the Antifa movement, but also colorfully dressed and costumed demonstrators. Ward
praised
Pop
“commitment to providing alternatives to toxic masculinity” in the protest. “It was really overshadowing of the White nationalist movement,” Ward said. “Pop Mob has really engaged in a new set of tactics that were creative and celebratory, and I want to acknowledge that, and acknowledge that leadership.” “They might come back,” Ward said in response to Proud Boys organizer Joe Biggs’ threat that his group would return for monthly rallies. “Every dollar spent when they come back that continues to strengthen the unity of Portlanders, is a dollar well spent. And if they want to give us the opportunity to do so again, we should be joyful about the opportunity to celebrate Portland.” Ward added, “I’ve been in many a protest. I’ve been in some amazing community mobilizations against bigotry. I’ve not in my 30 years seen such an organic alignment, that was so celebratory, as Saturday. People felt empowered and not disempowered. And the fact that Joey Gibson and Joe Biggs are spending Monday working so hard to convince media and their followers that they were successful tells me how much they’re scrambling. They’ve never had to scramble to declare a win before. They ran out of gas in Portland. And I think it’s significant and I think other cities should take note of it.”

Back on August 3rd, Donald Neely was arrested by Galveston police after he allegedly committed the crime of criminal trespassing at a commercial property located at 306 22nd Street, and after allegedly being warned not to do trespass on the property several times before. It was not the arrest of Neely that caused a stir, it was the way in which he was detained that has caught the attention of people across the country, including many civil rights activists and attorneys. This action caught the immediate attention of several witnesses, who took the pictures and shared them on social media. News of the arrest spread like wildfire, after a couple of shocking photos appeared on social media showing two White, uniformed Galveston Mounted Patrol Officers escorting Neely, who is Black, down the middle of 23rd Street in Galveston like a runaway slave; handcuffing him with his hands behind his back and leading him by rope down the street like a captured animal as they rode their individual horses down the street. Neely, 43, suffers from mental illness. According to Neely’s family, he has suffered from mental illness for over a decade and had been homeless based off their last known interaction. The family had not seen him in roughly four years, but saw the disrespectful and dehumanizing photos of him circulating online.
According to a statement released by the Galveston Police Department, they state that “when a police car was not immediately available, he (Neely) was escorted by mounted police officers about four blocks to a nearby staging area.” National civil rights attorney Benjamin Crump held a major press conference on August 12th, calling on the Galveston Police Department to release the body camera footage of the incident to be able to determine whether Neely’s civil rights may have been violated. “This isn’t 1819. This is 2019, Galveston, Texas,” said Crump. “The Galveston Police Department should have no problem releasing the body cam video, so we can see with our own eyes the content of the character of these two officers; based off of how they talked to and how they treated this unarmed Black citizen who suffered from mental illness.” Nearly 170 years ago, the federal government passed the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, which gave individuals known as “slave catchers” the legal mandate to go anywhere in the country to locate and prosecute runaway slaves and return them to their slave masters. These slave catchers were usually individual citizens who were paid to catch runaway slaves, and some were members of local law enforcement. Nevertheless, the majority of these slave catchers were known to ride horses, as well as use ropes and
chains to secure the runaway slaves, making them walk behind or beside their horses until they reached their destination. Fast forward to 2019, and we see that the slave catcher model has reared its ugly head once again; this time in Galveston. One of the people who received a copy of the picture and shared it on social media, is a former Galveston resident named Erin Toberman, who is White and whose father was a police captain. At the press conference, Toberman spoke to reporters and made some strong and salient points about the incident. “I’m a White woman and I have nothing but respect for law enforcement and I know how hard their job can be, because my father was a police Captain,” said Toberman. “Members of law enforcement have always told me that if I see something, I should say something. Well, I saw something and I said something, but now I’m being told that I shouldn’t have saw anything or said anything. That isn’t right.” Crump said that once Galveston Police Department releases the video and they can determine the content of the character of the officers involved to be in line with what the police department is saying, they will leave, but until then they do not plan on leaving the city.
“We are not going anywhere,” said Crump. “As a matter of fact, if you don’t release the video in 30 days, we are going to invite other civil rights advocates, mental health advocates and human rights advocates, and we will have a great march on Galveston. We are going to march down the same street that you dragged Donald Neely down by rope.” State Senator Borris L. Miles released a statement regarding the Galveston Police Department Mounted Patrol incident, stating: “I condemn Officer P. Brosch and A. Smith for their actions during this arrest and for unnecessarily subjecting Mr. Neely to that public humiliation. I applaud Galveston Police Chief Vernon Hale for his swift response and apology to Mr. Neely. I ask him to consider disciplinary actions against those two officers and to institute department-wide sensitivity training to ensure that officers, present and future understand why this was wrong, why it was inhumane and why it was downright racist.” Crump set the deadline date to release the video for September 15. In the meantime, both the Texas Rangers and the Galveston County Sheriff ’s Office are investigating the controversial arrest. In expressing their seriousness about the release of the video, Crump led attendees in a chant to demand its release, chanting, “Say No Mo’…Release the Video.”
Department, the body cameras were functional and were live during the encounter with Neely, so now it boils down to the actual release of the footage. Galveston Police Chief Vernon Hale and Galveston City Manager Brian Maxwell, both made statements expressing their belief that the officers may have used poor judgment regarding the incident and the officer’s handling of Neely. “Although this is a best practice in certain scenarios, I don’t think it was the best practice at this point in time,” said Chief Hale. Chief Hale has stated that his department has ended the use of this practice effective immediately. However, this is not good enough for Neely’s family, his attorneys and for many community advocates who have been riveted by this incident. Time will tell if the Galveston Police Department will comply with Crump’s demands and inquiring minds want to know what exactly they will hear and see once the footage is released. At press time, there were no new developments regarding Crump’s demands.

San Diegans Receive Honorary Degrees from Bible College
7
Voice & Viewpoint Newswire
R&B legend Dr. Howard Hewett, radio host and community activist Dr. William Tayari Howard and Stellar Award winning gospel music artist Dr. Maurette Brown Clark were among those conferred honorary doctorate degrees and saluted during a special postgraduation service on Sunday, August 18, 2019 at New Life Baptist Church in Spring Valley, CA. The festivities featured seven San Diegans who received honorary doctorates Saturday, August 17, 2019 from Next Dimension University, during the official commencement exercises at the West Angeles Cathedral in Los Angeles. NDU is a Black-owned Bible college located in Rancho Cucamonga, California. The San Diego honorees were Dr. William Tayari Howard, a radio broadcasting legend and community activist, Dr. Eddie Baltrip, founder of the gospel choir, Fulfillment, Dr. Leonard J. Thompson, III, the CEO of Mandate Records and G.O.D. Radio 1, Dr. Terry Wayne Brooks, pastor of Bayview Church, along with his executive pastor, Dr. Keith E. Brown, Sr., the 2018 national church administrator of the year, Dr. Larry “Preacherman” Thompson, a gospel music radio legend and Dr. Troy P. Owens, pastor of New Life Baptist Church and retired police officer. Former Smooth Jazz 98.1 KIFM Jazzspel host, Dr. Eric J. Chambers, the vice-chair of NDU’s honorary doctoral nominating committee, produced the historic celebration and is responsible for six of the seven San Diegans honored. He was conferred an honorary doctorate in 2013 and is usually given the task of recruiting and delivering such high profile people like Dr. Yolanda Adams, Dr. Fred Hammond, Dr. Randall Cunningham and Dr. Vanessa Bell Armstrong in past years. And this year, gospel great Dr. Kurt Carr, actress Dr. Dawnn Lewis, Hewett and Brown Clark are
among his nominees. “The Lord impressed upon my heart to do something different in 2019,” he said from New Life Baptist Church. “Like Harriet Tubman, I decided to go back and get some of my own people from San Diego and have them conferred. Each of them have a stellar body of work. There is plenty of room at the cross for others who are making a powerful difference in society,” said Chambers. According to Chambers, all the recipientsl were amazed and shocked to some degree. “I am humbled and honored,” said Dr. Howard. “After 47 years in broadcasting, I never thought this would happen. For Dr. Eric J, my former KIFM colleague, to think enough of me for such an honor is overwhelming.” And Dr. Baltrip, who first met Dr. Chambers in the mid-80s as founder of the Voices of Fulfillment, was equally surprised. “Man! I don’t know what to say!” he exclaimed when he initially received the call. “I really appreciate you considering me and putting my name in nomination in such a time as this,” he said with excitement. The same sentiments came from each recipient. All were blessed and honored to have their names submitted for conferment. At Saturday’s Next Dimension University graduation in Los Angeles, the legendary Dr. Frederick K. C. Price was honored and Bishop Kenneth Ulmer, pastor of Faithful Central Bible Church of Inglewood, CA was the commencement speaker.
His message to the honorees and graduates is, “You’ll look back. You’ll come back. And you’ll give back to your alma mater.” It is a reminder that NDU wants each graduate to stay connected and support the university just as alumni continues to give back to such institutions as SDSU, UCSD, UCLA or USC.

While Brown Clark and the other honorees received their degrees on Saturday, Hewett picked up his honorary doctorate during Sunday’s service in Spring Valley because he was booked in concert on the East Coast the night of the graduation. “I’m excited to join my fellow honorary doctoral graduates,” he said. “This is an amazing achievement in my life and I take it seriously.” Dr. Steve O. Cooper, Sr. pastor of Nu Way International Ministries in San Diego gave a graduation charge to the new doctors. And San Diego gospel singer Lanee Battle and saxophonist Erisa Nicole performed. The New Life Baptist Church Praise Team accompanied Brown Clark on her iconic church hit, “Just Want To Praise You.” She also performed other songs including her newest single, “I Want God,” “Soverign God,” and “It Ain’t Over.” Dr. Owens and First Lady Lynn Owens hosted the San Diego event. Their hospitality was impeccable. For more information about the Bible university, visit NextDimensionUniversity.com.
“We are stomping out Biblical illiteracy—globally, and our commencement exercise is a way to recruit people to our Bible university and prepare them to become master teachers, confronting the evils of the world—with the Word,” said Dr. Joel McLeod, the chancellor and founder.

Last Saturday, more than 1500 parents and children were on hand at the Jackie Robinson YMCA for the Annual Back-Pac Backto-School event. The lines started to form well before 11am along the sidewalk and down the parking lot at the YMCA. When the doors opened for the crowds on hand, they were led through the building to a long sidewalk which led to a designated area with a sign-in tent, followed by tables with school supplies and the very coveted back-pac. But there were also tables with school supplies such as notebooks, pencils, crayons and other school items. There were also games for the kids so that the experience was not just about getting school supplies, but also having fun. This was another one of those locations where parents and children waited in line for their chance to go in and pick their school supplies, but no one appeared to mind the heat or the wait. In the midst of 1500 people for 500 back-pacs, other events at the YMCA were business as usual. The African dance class still met as did the scheduled games on the fields, all took place as if nothing else was happening. It has also been reported that YMCA facility use will be free on Monday, September 2, Labor Day 2019.

American Legion Back To School Supplies Giveaway & Picnic
Hosted by the American Legion and Lady Auxiliary in Association with the Family Crew of San Diego By Drew Weisenberger
On Saturday, William L. Smith led the volunteers at The American Legion, Post 310, on 47th street as they hosted a joint, community-wide event with the Family Crew of San Diego. Heavily invested in their community, the volunteers for each group were helpful and welcoming. Families arrived and lined up outside the American Legion station at 11am, showing great appreciation of the event. Thomasena Martin and the Lady Auxiliary drew a line of youth to their backpack and school supply giveaway drive. Brightly coloured backpacks, binders, and pencils attracted a range of students from ages 8 to 18 to gather their essentials for the quickly approaching school year. Alongside the volunteers at the American Legion, The Family Crew of San Diego provided an open lunch and entertainment for the families attending the community drive. At noon, a spread of barbeque and grills were distributed among the visitors, with drinks and desserts. The Family Crew also took special care to prepare extra food to be donated to the less fortunate. The most important thing was that the entire community felt involved, according to Commander William L. Smith. Working with the Family Crew, a space was created to accommodate any and all who attended.

Karate-Que 2019:
A Timely Celebration Staff Writer
Many people go to the park in the summer for “Bar -B- Ques.” These are usually cookouts and picnics. But a “Karate-Que” is much more and the event last Saturday honoring Billie “Mama” Nelson was one of a kind. The gathering at Tideland Park on Coronado, marked the 45th annual celebration of the United Karate Federation in which she was a major part of back-in-the-day. It was October 11, 1972. Her son Arnad “Chicken” Gabriel had just received his first Black belt and the training of what was to become the UKF started in Mama Nelson’s Garage. In those days, as today, it’s all about helping “at risk youth.” This year’s Karate-Que was all about continuing that legacy by making this the first Annual Celebration for Mama Nelson. About 150 people came out for the event. At least 100 of them were former students or those who were “at-risk” when they were growing up and are now grown with their own families. One such person is Mimi Armendiarojas, a former “at-risk-youth” helped by those early efforts and now a second degree Black Belt helping other women who are “at-risk.” She is the one who named this event a “Karate-Que,” because it was more than a BAR-B-Que and a picnic. The funds raised at this event will go toward a Foundation to help others. In the spirit of “Mama” Billie Nelson, there were special awards and recognitions, music, food, entertainment, raffles and a kids zone. Those attending wore beautiful Black T-Shirts with a bright gold open mouth tiger on the front. The weather was hot but the fun and fellowship of those sharing memories and a good time, was greater than the heat.

NIGERIA TO SLASH FUNDS FOR ESSENTIAL FOOD IMPORTS WHILE CURRENCY CRISIS LOOMS move to end imports of these essential foods is aimed at improving Nigeria’s agricultural production and attaining food security. “Don’t give a cent to anybody to import food into the country,” Buhari was quoted by his spokesman Shehu to say. “The foreign reserve will be conserved and utilized strictly for diversification of the economy, and not for encouraging more dependence on foreign food import bills,” he added.
Global Information Network
Hard to imagine a steaming plate of Nigerian jollof rice without the rice. Or without fish. Or wheat. Rice, fish and wheat are Nigeria’s top three food imports but foreign exchange for these
staple food imports is about to end by order of President Muhammadu Buhari. Presidential spokesman Garba Shehu said Tuesday the
Imported milk and other dairy products will also be restricted from access to foreign exchange in an effort to boost local production and investment in ranches. Some may have hoped these risky ideas would be forgotten in time. But a recently decided lawsuit in the UK may have prompted the government to
advance the timetable. The lawsuit, decided this month, gives a company called Process and Industrial Developments Ltd the right to pursue some $9 billion in assets from the Nigerian government over an aborted gas project. Currently Nigeria spends US$22 billion on food imports annually. R ice, imported from Thailand and India, accounts for about US$1.65 billion which could make Nigeria the world ’s second largest importer of rice af ter China in 2019. Many obstacles stand in the way of Nigeria becoming selfsufficient in food, some experts say. These include climate change, weeds, pests and diseases, farmers’ limited access to credit, training, rudimentary and time consuming tools like
hoes, slashers, sickles, axes and rakes. Economic analyst Tokunbo Afikuyomi says making it harder for businesses to import food through official channels will push importers to find foreign exchange on the black market. “Making it harder for businesses to import food through official channels is likely to lead to higher food prices as businesses use more expensive exchange rates or expensive domestic alternatives,” Afikuyomi told CNN. He said Nigeria’s strategy should be to produce which foods it can grow cheaply and import others that are more expensive to make. “Nigeria cannot produce all the food it eats -- no country in the world is able to achieve this. Banning food imports to save foreign exchange is not the way to build a sustainable economy,” he added.
ACTIVIST VILLAGERS SICKENED BY DIAMOND SLAG TO CONFRONT MINEOWNER IN COURT pockmarked mud brick houses, and countless other indignities. Adi Kalie Bangura, a traditional healer, showed a reporter the black welts that dot his arms and legs as a result of drinking and bathing in poisoned water. Sierra Leone is one of Africa’s leading diamond producers by value.
Global Information Network
Since the first diamonds were found in the 1930s, the villagers of Kono, in the eastern region of Sierra Leone, have seen the
wealth under their feet make others rich. Instead of joy, the shiny stones have left a trail of contaminated water,
Bangura’s claims are now enshrined in a lawsuit against the diamond mining firm Octea Ltd. and six related companies. Filed in Sierra Leone’s High Court in March, the suit claims $288 million in damages for the “degradation or destruction of land, destruction of homes and loss of livelihoods and … and dumping of toxic mine waste,” among other things. The case has been adjourned until the end of September. Octea claims that
the charges are without merit. The villagers of Koidu have also been helped by the investigative journalists who worked on the Panama Papers expose. In their groundbreaking case, they allege that polluting air and well water, destroyed crops and homes and provoked violence. Police have killed four villagers and injured others during antimine protests since operations began in 2007. The Network Movement for Justice and Development (NMJD), a Sierra Leone nonprofit that has worked with the Koidu communities for years, and Benedict Jalloh of C&J Partners filed the action on behalf of the communities on March 6, 2019. Octea, with offices in Germany, is a familiar face in West Africa.
Incomplete diamond export data, obtained by the African Network of Centers for Investigative Reporting, show that during some months from 2012 to 2015, Octea exported more than $330 million in rough diamonds. Yet, although Octea’s rough diamonds average $350 per carat, the company is alleged to be more than $150 million in the red. Dozens of creditors are waiting to be paid, including the government of Sierra Leone and Standard Chartered Bank. Octea is a subsidiary of BSG Resources, founded by Israeli billionaire Beny Steinmetz. Steinmetz has been accused of bribing officials in Guinea, including $10 million to one of the wives of Lansana Conte, the former president of Guinea. Prosecutors are seeking prison terms of two to 10 years.
WHEN SOUTH AFRICANS DECLARED ‘LIBERATION’ AT TWO WHITES-ONLY BEACHES Global Information Network
South Africa witnessed the beginning of the end of whitesonly beaches thirty years ago this week after an action launched by the Anglican Archbishop Desmond Tutu. It was part of an escalating campaign to defy apartheid. Throngs of demonstrators were chased down Cape Town streets by police using whips, tear gas and water cannons spraying purple dye. More than 500 people, including 52 journalists, were arrested. A march was planned that also included the Rev. Allan
Boesak, anti-apartheid leaders and president of the World Alliance of Reform Churches. It was organized by the Mass Democratic Movement, that swelled into the most sustained anti-apartheid protest since the government suspended many civil rights in 1986 under emergency decrees. Police gave the marchers 10 minutes to disperse, but the protesters sat down on the pavement and began clapping and singing. Then police drove two water cannon trucks into the
square and began spraying demonstrators with purple dye. Shoppers and activists f led in panic, and some fell to the pavement. Tutu, the 1984 Nobel Peace laureate, condemned the police action. “All moral right is on our side,” he told about 2,000 people who gathered in his Anglican church nearby. “We have committed ourselves to this struggle until it is won. We shall be free . . . despite this type of action from those who refuse to hand over power.

Half of black American women report that they experience severe stress, while only a quarter of Caucasian women in the US report extreme stress. Research indicates that black women are also more likely to experience major depression and anxiety disorders, and Black women’s symptoms are more severe than those of their white counterparts.
Would you like for a family member or caregiver to be able to call Medicare on your behalf? Would you like a way to store all your health records in one place online, so you can quickly share them with a new doctor or other healthcare provider? How about an easy way to print a new Medicare card if you lose yours? Or a quick way to see what preventive health services, like cancer screenings and vaccinations, are available to you? You can do all that and more by creating a free, secure MyMedicare.gov account. To create an account, go to MyMedicare. gov. You’ll be asked to provide a username and password. You’ll also need to enter your Medicare number as it appears on your red, white, and blue Medicare card. Once you’ve completed your online registration, you can sign in to MyMedicare. gov and start using the site. Medicare will mail you a confirmation letter containing the password you created, in case you forget it. (Make sure you list the address that Social Security or the Railroad Retirement Board has on file for you.) We’ll also send a confirmation email if you gave us your email address during registration.
MyMedicare.gov is available in English and Spanish.

View your Part B deductible information.
· Manage your prescription drug list and other personal health information. · Create an “On the Go Report” that allows you to print your health information to share with your healthcare providers.

Medicare can’t give personal health information about you to anyone unless you give permission in writing first. To do this, sign in to your MyMedicare.gov account and fill out form CMS-10106:“Authorization to Disclose Personal Health Information.”
In addition, African American woman are disproportionally affected by stress-related diseases like hypertension, obesity and Type 2 Diabetes. Dr. Akhu, an expert in stress management, shows women of color how to stop running on empty so they can think, feel, and live better, with increased joy and decreased stress. “The first step toward alleviating the heavy weight carried by the ‘strong black woman’, as well as addressing the resulting mental and physical damage, is the practice of selfcare,” explains Dr. Akhu, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, founder of the Redefining the Strong Black Woman movement, and mother of two girls. Dr. Akhu says that black woman can reduce their stress levels and increase joy by incorporating the following three tools into their hectic lives:
Drawing on the positive, clearing out the negative, and using even small windows of time to foster mindfulness, clarity, and joy in our daily lives will lead to better relationships with ourselves and others.
* Focusing on gratitude
Dr. Akhu says.
* Learning to meditate * Engaging in daily self-care

A highlight in Scott’s career is mentoring people and watching them succeed in their chosen fields. “I never do anything I don’t want to do, and I never stop having fun,” said Scott who encourages everyone to enjoy life. Scott joined Blue Shield of California in 2012 as the company’s Chief Privacy Officer & Privacy Counsel. To day, she leads and oversees the operations of Blue Shield of California’s corporate in tegrity & risk management organization. Under her leadership, Blue Shield of California has been named one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies six times.
Scott was one of dozens se lected from an original field of 500 nominees.

Based in the heart of Alabama, Tesix Wireless, a fast growing Black-owned telecommunications firm, wants to provide more flexibility and feature pack plans by eliminating everything millennials hate about their wireless plans and delivering more of what they want, and this even includes zero fees and taxes.
When asked by some of the startup’s investors what inspired them to invest, one investor Darrel Copeland, expressed, “I’ve known Miss Moncrief for quite some time; her humor, cheerfulness and creative genius is what attracts me to her a businesswoman and person. Her ideas and vision for Tesix are engaging, fun, and worth every penny.”
Launching just eight months ago the company’s value quickly rose by $1.4M after recent investments from the likes of Ladarius Gunter (former-Green Bay Packers Cornerback), Shaun Hamilton (Washington Redskins Linebacker), Ayodeji Olatoye (Atlanta Falcon Cornerback) and many others. With these investments, the company’s value rose to $7.3M from its original $5.9M at time of launch.
Because her company is millennial-focused, her growth strategy is to reach her target the best way to reach any Millenial; through social media.
Before it’s launch, the company received a $4.4M acquisition offer to be disbursed over four years because of its extensive waitlist, investments, and other notable factors; in which was turned down. Found and lead by Chaymeriyia Moncrief, the 25-year-old African American Alabama native says the offer was not impressive because she understood the value her company held. “If anyone is willing to offer this amount of money for a company that hadn’t launched, it was because they saw value, they saw the worth. What they didn’t realize, however, is that I too saw the value of my company & I clearly understood what I needed to do to make what they offered,” Moncrief expressed.
BUSINESS DIRECTORY
“We are in a fast-moving digital age and a world that revolves around social media. In this age, millennials can be found where there is a convenience, and that convenience is picking up their cellphones, their tablets or laptops and searching, apply for and buying things they want, when they want it directly on the internet, and I want to position Tesix amid that convenience,” she states. To build the company’s presence over the last few months from its launch, Tesix has partnered with various social media influencers to generate brand visibility, and quickly grew its subscribers base through those partnerships. In the last three months, the company has seen a significant increase in its subscribers from its 1st quarter and counting. With long term in mind, Chaymeriyia hopes within 5-10 years to be able to create her very own infrastructure to offer her phone service. But, as she builds her company, she has some exciting developments in works now that includes two store openings, the release of her flagship Tesix mobile products and the release of the company’s self-branded mobile smartphone.

Mayor Endorses Senate Bill 5, Funding for Affordable Housing Bill would create key funding source for cities across the state Voice & Viewpoint Newswire
in transit priority areas, reducing development costs while encouraging usage of alternative forms of transportation.
San Diego – Following unanimous City Council approval of several of the Mayor’s “Housing SD” reforms this summer to make living in San Diego more affordable, Mayor Kevin L. Faulconer today joined state Sen. Jim Beall, D-San Jose, to endorse the Affordable Housing and Community Development Investment Program, also known as Senate Bill 5, ahead of a key vote by a state Assembly committee. “California is facing a housing crisis that will price out an entire generation if we don’t take bold action,” said Mayor Faulconer. “San Diego is radically overhauling its housing regulations, so more San Diegans can afford to live here, and Senate Bill 5 takes things to the next level by creating a state funding source that cities can tap to help build affordable homes.” The new bill would commit $200 million annually to local governments starting in 2020, resulting in tens of thousands of new affordable housing units being built statewide. The annual funding would steadily increase with a cap at $2 billion once fully implemented. “When the state acts in partnership with cities and counties, we accomplish great things,” said Senator Jim Beall. “Hard-working families and seniors are being priced out of California and we need 1.5 million affordable units through 2025 to keep up with demand. SB 5 is a critical step to help Californians thrive in the communities they call home by providing permanent affordable housing funding in every corner of the Golden State,” Senator Mike McGuire said. “Every city, and every California resident,

SB-5 will give a jump start to our broader efforts to end homelessness as we know it on the streets of San Diego,” said Stephen Russell, Executive Director of the San Diego Housing Federation. In 2011, the state abolished redevelopment agencies eliminating a major source of funding available for local governments to invest in affordable housing. While S.B. 5 doesn’t revive redevelopment, the bill outlines provisions that will allow cities and counties access to funding to support the development of housing and infrastructure. S.B. 5 permits cities like San Diego and counties the opportunity to utilize property tax revenues to advance state-approved priority projects. These projects must include infrastructure investments that support

affordable housing; promote urban infill development near major transit centers; and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The need for rapid construction to address the affordability crisis is clear. If enacted, S.B. 5 would immediately create an ongoing, sustainable source of funding for affordable housing projects, creating a long-term funding partnership between the state and California’s cities. The bill was previously introduced by Senators Jim Beall, Mike McGuire and Anthony Portantino, and passed with bipartisan support in the Senate. S.B. 5 is scheduled to be heard Aug. 30 by the Assembly Appropriations Committee. Under Mayor Faulconer’s leadership, the City of San Diego has taken aggressive action to address the statewide housing crisis. This year he’s won City Council approval for the following “Housing SD” reforms: Parking Reform: Eliminated outdated parking requirements for new housing developments

San Diego – Beginning Sunday, Sept. 1, a new fare structure for the Metropolitan Transit System and the North County Transit District will go into effect. These are the first increases in fares in 10 years, a period in which, according to the San Diego MTS, operating costs have climbed by more than 25%.
Housing for the “Missing Middle”: Establishes incentives for the first time to build housing affordable to San Diego’s middle class, which is in short supply. The reform follows up on the successful Affordable Housing Density Bonus program approved in 2016 and now the two programs can be coupled together. Once a project maximizes to the existing affordable housing density bonus of 50%, it can then use the new moderate-income program to obtain an additional 25% density bonus as long as 10% of pre-density units are deed-restricted at 120% area median income or lower.
