BLACK OWNED COOPERATIVE AND SHOPPING CENTER IN FAM MART WITH PLANS TO GROW SUMMER FAMILY LITERACY FUN SEE PAGE 7

B-LAC’S BACK-TO-SCHOOL EVENT SEE PAGE 10

By TJ Dunnivant Contributing Writer If you grew up in 4th District (Emerald Hills, Webster, Chollas View, etc.), or you raised a family in that area, you were familiar with the Thrifty strip mall/shopping center. The center is nostalgic for our Black community as it was the home of Wrigley’s, The San Diego Voice and Viewpoint newspaper, Black Chamber of Commerce, Round Table and the old FedCo building. Some can remember when FedCo closed around 1984 and Fam Mart took up resi-

dence in the space around 1985. Fam Mart became quite the hub for our community and in the early years the majority of vendors were Asian and the majority of shoppers were Black. After a couple of public complaints in 1991, our Black community boycotted Fam Mart because of the disrespectful treatment by the vendor owners. Today, the retail space is only half of what it was and one Black family, the Bookers, is trying to make it “for us by us” by renting much of the space and making it available to other Black vendors.

“I go way back with The San Diego Voice and Viewpoint, Wrigley’s and other businesses that were here,“ exclaimed Mr. Dwayne Booker of DLBooker Enterprise, “I’m trying to keep our business here [in this community]. We don’t want to go outside; so we appreciate all the support we can get!” We only spoke briefly to Mr. Booker on the phone last week, and most of the history of DLBooker Enterprise was told to us by his daughter, Zienia (Z) Booker on July 30th.

THE MONKEYPOX HEALTH CRISIS: HOW CALIFORNIA IS RESPONDING By Tanu Henry California Black Media

As the monkeypox virus outbreak spreads across the globe, Gov. Gavin Newsom says California will need to galvanize “forces” across regions and relax some state regulations and statutes to combat a disease that poses a threat greater than local authorities may be able to respond to effectively.

levels of government to slow the spread of monkeypox, leveraging our robust testing, contact tracing and community partnerships strengthened during the pandemic to ensure that those most at risk are our focus for vaccines, treatment and outreach,” the Governor said August 1st as he declared a State of Emergency in California.

WHY FOOD INSECURITY AMONG GEN Z IS SO MUCH HIGHER THAN FOR OTHER AGE GROUPS

BLACK POWER AFRO PICK SCULPTURE

PART OF TRAVELING EXHIBIT By Doug Maccash

A new gigantic steel sculpture of an Afro hair pick that has been displayed in New Orleans is everything a public artwork ought to be. At 28 feet tall, the sculpture — decorated with a peace sign and topped by a clenched Black Power fist — demands attention and makes a clear statement that pretty much everyone can understand.

Data includes January to June 2022 surveys. Chart: The Conversation, CC-BY-ND Source: Consumer Food Insights June 2022

By Sam Polzin, Ahmad Zia Wahdat, and Jayson Lusk Adult members of Generation Z are experiencing food insecurity at over twice the rate of the average American, according to our latest consumer food survey. In fact, about 1 in 3 Americans born from 19962004 have had trouble afford-

ing enough food in 2022. That compares with fewer than 1 in 5 millennials and members of Generation X, and fewer than 1 in 10 baby boomers. See FOOD page 2

FEARING A RECESSION, MANY EXPRESS MISGIVINGS ABOUT A LOOMING DOWNTURN

By Stacy M. Brown . NNPA Newswire Sr National Correspondent

In the past, it hasn’t always been clear when a recession loomed, let alone when it has already begun. However, the silver lining now is that, unlike in previous downturns, the Federal Reserve and the U.S. government have already taken action by making critical adjustments to fiscal and monetary policies to regulate economic activity. “The United States currently has certain interim policies and tools, such as automatic stabilizers like the Earned Income Tax Credit and Unemployment Insurance that are automatically triggered to inject funds into the economy and don’t require any government action to take hold in the event of a downturn,” said Mila Garcia, a finance expert, and the founder of iPaydayLoans. “And while such programs have proven effective, they should have an even stronger effect with congressional action being taken alongside them. So, if a downturn does hit, we can at least expect to be less vulnerable to economic troubles than before,” Garcia stated. See RECESSION page 2

ARTICLE CONTINUATION RECESSION: Continued from cover

Amid rising inflation and concerns of a looming recession, many have shared their fears and what America should learn from the pandemic-induced economic downturn. “Given that Americans are struggling to pay their medical bills, inflation is rising quickly at a pace of 9 percent, and gas and food prices are at all-time highs, this subject is one of the most popular and alarming ones for all Americans,” said Rinor Zejna, a digital public relations specialist. Zejna offered some findings from research regarding bankruptcy in the United States, noting that one

The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) has begun to collect and report racial and other demographic data, tracking how the disease is impacting various groups across the state.

in three Americans struggle to pay medical bills and 750,000 file for bankruptcy each year. “Medical debt is the number one cause of bankruptcies,” Zejna offered. “And 58 percent of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.” Home sales and building have dropped substantially over the past year, and consumer confidence has fallen to its lowest point since the pandemic’s beginning. Still, President Joe Biden remains optimistic. “Coming off last year’s historic economic growth and regaining all the private sector jobs lost during the pandemic, it’s no surprise that the economy is slowing down as the Federal Reserve acts to bring down inflation,” Biden said in a CDPH Director and State Public Health Officer Dr. Tomás J. Aragón says he welcomes the federal health emergency because it opens up channels for California to get more access to resources to slow the spread of the disease.

Last Thursday, the federal government also declared monkeypox a national public health emergency.

“We hope today’s action injects additional federal funding and resources into our collective response efforts. The state remains focused on slowing the spread of the virus in impacted communities, administering the limited number of vaccine doses we have, and raising awareness about prevention measures and access to treatment,” Aragón said, before adding that California is “well-positioned” to tackle the outbreak.

“We are prepared to take our response to the next level in addressing this virus and we urge every American to take monkeypox seriously,” said U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary and former California Attorney General Xavier Becerra.

Although monkeypox is not considered deadly, the disease can be fatal for some categories of people, according to public health authorities. Symptoms of the disease, lesions and blisters, can be extremely painful in some cases as well.

FOOD:

After the Great Recession that ran from 2007 to 2009, food insecurity increased by 34%. It took a decade for food insecurity to drop to its pre-recession levels.

The Governor’s State of Emergency follows similar actions taken in San Francisco, New York City and Illinois. On July 23, the World Health Organization declared monkeypox a “public health emergency.”

Continued from cover

We run the Center for Food Demand Analysis and Sustainability at Purdue University, and every month, through our Consumer Food Insights survey, we query over 1,200 Americans with the goal of tracking national food security as well as many other behaviors, attitudes and preferences related to food.

With COVID-19, food insecurity increased again, particularly among the most vulnerable groups in society, such as seniors and households with children.

Food insecurity means having a lack of money or other resources for food. And when food insecurity surges, it can take a long time for affected populations to recover.

But it also increased for members of Gen Z, who were the most likely to face unemployment due to the pandemic. And for those attending college, the pandemic reduced essential food services on campus and increased the number of students dropping out of school.

SCULPTURE:

The image of Grandma’s pick stuck in his head.

Continued from cover

As an aspiring young artist, Thomas said he encountered, of all things, a four-story-tall clothespin in downtown Philadelphia. The absurd sculpture was by worldfamous 1960s pop artist Claes Oldenburg, who created monuments devoted to the most ordinary stuff, like typewriter erasers, shuttlecocks and clothespins.

And it does so with a whisper of wit, a nod to nostalgia and an evocation of peace. Artist Hank Willis Thomas, the Brooklyn, New York-based artist who designed “All Power to All People,” was born in 1976. In a recorded statement, he said his grandmother was a hair stylist who “jammed” a pick through his hair to inflate it to the proper proportions. The pick had a Black Power fist on top. “As a kid,” Thomas said, “I just thought of it as how you comb your hair.” But as he came of age, he recognized that the pick “was an icon of African American culture and history.”

statement. “But even as we face historic global challenges, we are on the right path, and we will come through this transition stronger and more secure,” the President continued. He insisted that the job market remains historically strong, with unemployment at 3.6 percent and more than 1 million jobs created alone in the second quarter. “My economic plan is focused on bringing inflation down without giving up all the economic gains we have made,” Biden asserted. “Congress has a historic chance to do that by passing the CHIPS and Science Act and Inflation Reduction Act without delay.” Still, corporations have experienced a decline in sales and earnings during recessions and “Over 99% of people who get this form of the disease are likely to survive. However, people with weakened immune systems, children under 8 years of age, people with a history of eczema, and people who are pregnant or breastfeeding may be more likely to get seriously ill or die,” the CDC reports. According to the governor’s office, CDPH has taken a number of steps to expand access to vaccinations and the state has launched a public information campaign, mostly relying on webinars and town hall meetings to get information about Monkeypox out to people across the state. So far, the CDPH has received a little over 109,000 monkeypox vaccines – of which 51,000 doses have been distributed to local health departments across the state. Among Black Californians, there have been 129 cases reported so far, accounting for about 11% of all confirmed cases in the state. African Americans make up about Now, with inflation soaring at the fastest pace in 40 years, those who lost jobs during the pandemic and college students with fixed incomes must stretch their limited resources even further at the grocery store. We have found that education, income and race are three of the biggest factors driving food insecurity among America’s youngest generation. Members of Gen Z without a college degree or who make less than the federal poverty line have a much higher risk of being food insecure – over three times the risk of other Gen Z households. The rate of food insecurity among Gen Z Black and Hispanic households is almost double that of white and Asian households. People” artwork is part of a traveling exhibit of outdoor sculptures called the “Monumental Tour,” which has had previous stops in Philadelphia, Chicago, Oakland and even the Burning Man art fest in Black Rock, Nevada. The arrival of “All Power to All People” in New Orleans was meant to help celebrate the Juneteenth holiday and the Essence Festival of Culture.

A few years back, Thomas blended the pick and the clothespin concepts into a 9-foot preliminary version of his “All Power to All People” design. But it had to be bigger. “It has a different reverence when you have to look up to it or be in the shadow of it,” he said.

“Monumental Tour” director Marsha Reid said she’s the one who chose the location of the big Afro pick. She said that Lafayette Square was perfect because there was no fence around it, so people had unfettered access, plus the park is frequented by locals instead of tourists, and it’s in the center of city politics, with the modern City Hall and the federal courts not far away.

continue to fear what may come. According to reports, the average U.S. corporation’s after-tax profit margin is around 16 percent. In traditional recessions, the rate drops down to single digits. Meanwhile, those corporations are collectively sitting on a record level of over $4 trillion in cash. “Companies may have raised these funds during the era of easy money and low-interest rates over the past decade,” Vishesh Raisinghani wrote for Yahoo Finance. “Now, this cash is acting as a buffer and could allow companies to retain staff despite the economic slowdown.” EDITOR’S NOTE: On Sunday, August 7, the U.S. Senate passed the The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. The $750 billion health care, tax and 6.5% of the state’s total population. As of Aug. 5, CDPH reports that there have been 1,310 confirmed cases of monkeypox in the state with the most confirmed cases being reported in Los Angeles (431) followed by San Francisco (398) and Alameda County (83). There have been 7,509 confirmed cases in the United States and 28,220 across the world. Shortly after the Governor declared a State of Emergency, Shane Harris of the Peoples Association of Justice Activists, a San Diegobased advocacy group, called on San Diego County to release demographic data on monkeypox cases in that county. “The governor has declared a State of Emergency as of last night and constituents deserve to know the truth about this virus in our region,” said Harris speaking at a press conference. At the state level, the CDPH has begun to disaggregate the Monkeypox data it is collecting by Other research shows that factors like marriage and owning your own home typically improve food security. Since young people typically aren’t married or own a home, Gen Z by and large isn’t benefiting from these factors. Additionally, full-time college students are generally not eligible for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly known as food stamps. Although student eligibility has been expanded during the ongoing COVID-19 public health emergency, the paperwork required to apply can potentially discourage young people who have much less experience navigating the government bureaucracy. on her mind when she positioned “All Power to All People,” Reid said. But in ways, Gallier Hall, located across the street, is the perfect backdrop. The old City Hall was finished in the 1850s. It had doubtlessly been built with slave labor and was a signature piece of architecture of the pro-slavery society of the time. Its neoclassical design venerates ancient Greece and Rome, also slave states. Which makes it — intentionally or not — a symbolic foil for a sculpture that speaks to the African identity of much of the population. There’s no erasing the past, of course. But you can certainly have a conversation with it, and that’s just what’s going on down on St. Charles Avenue right now. The city’s picturesque streetcars rumble between the two aspects of history,

climate bill “promises to fight inflation, lower energy costs, increase cleaner production, and reduce carbon emissions by roughly 40 percent by 2030, allow Medicare to negotiate drug prices and caps out-ofpocket costs to $2,000, lower ACA health care premiums for millions of Americans , and make the biggest corporations and ultra-wealthy pay their fair share”, according to a summary statement by U.S. Senate Democrats, released on July 27. According to the summary, there are no new taxes on families making $400,000 or less and no new taxes on small businesses. The U.S. House of Representatives will vote to approve the legislation on Friday, August 12, a necessary requirement in order for President Biden to officially sign the bill into law.

The age group with the highest number of reported monkeypox cases (482) are 25-to-34-year-olds, who make up about 36.8 % of all confirmed infections in California. “We’ll continue to work with the federal government to secure more vaccines, raise awareness about reducing risk, and stand with the LGBTQ community fighting stigmatization,” Newsom added. When it comes to race, Harris said it is important to approach the containment and treatment of monkeypox with the same “perspective and passion” that characterized the state government’s response during the COVID-19 pandemic. “Race and ethnicity were very important during COVID because we studied the very impact of cultural competency pertaining to COVID – how different communities dealt with it. It is still significantly important today,” Harris emphasized. Our survey also shows a significant portion of Gen Z – 30% – has relied on free groceries from a pantry, church or other charity. Prices for food consumed at home are currently jumping at over 12% a year. That’s the fastest pace since 1979. Our survey data only reflects some of these recent price gains, so it’s unclear yet how much this will affect food insecurity. But what is clear is that Gen Z Americans, like other vulnerable groups, need more support to ensure they can access an affordable diet.

the unchallenged White rule of the past, and the ongoing striving for Black equity. In art terms, that dialogue is a beautiful thing. And that means “All Power to All People” is a beautiful thing, too. On one hand, it’s a smile-evoking selfie-op based on a ridiculously enlarged comb that was popular with a past generation. In a way, it’s comforting. On the other hand, it’s a spark plug of social issues that’s not supposed to make us comfortable at all. As Picasso supposedly put it, good art “ought to bristle with razor blades.” Doug Maccash writes for The TimesPicayune/The New Orleans Advocate.

EDITORIAL/COMMENTARY/OPINION Think About It: A Commentary When Renters

Become Voters By Dr. John E. Warren, Publisher As we move t ow a r d Midterm elections, and cont inue to struggle with evictions and rent increases mostly based on greed and not need, it appears a good time to once againmake the connection between those who vote and the quality of life, or the lack thereof, for so many. Consider the following fact. Forty nine percent of the residents of San Diego County and its cities are renters. While new construction continues to grow with more highrise apartments and condos, and the homeless rate continues to increase, the average person will not be able to afford to live in one of these new structures. The reality is that most renters throughout San Diego County and the state of California are not voters. Landlords not only vote, but also contribute to candidates who run for office. Consider also that no one appears to have looked at how many of our Judges themselves are landlords. Once again, I would like to remind you of what Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said about the power of the voter eight years before the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was enacted. In May of 1957, Dr. King said: “Give us the ballot and we will fill our legislative halls with men of goodwill……” “Give us the ballot and we will place judges on the benches of the South who will do justice

and love mercy…..” Fifty seven years later, we have the vote, but no longer use it for the purposes that Dr. King spoke of. If we did, we would have city, county, state and national elected officials who would see the relationship between the lack of rent control and homelessness. We, the people, have the right and responsibility to make the issues before our elected bodies and not have them determined for us. In 90 days this country will have a Midterm Election in which those who bought the Big Lie with Donald Trump are planning to use to further do away with voting rights and the democratic process. Mainstream media is not talking about voter registration. No one appears to be placing dollars in our communities to get out the vote. But it is up to each of us to determine that “Black Votes Matter”. While Black voters may not be as many in number as White and Latino voters, there are still enough of us to determine the outcome of any election as proven by our electing President Joe Biden in 2020. As of this week, this newspaper will have voter registration cards available for those who choose to stop by and pick one up or need help filling out one. We encourage those of you who read this, no matter what state you are in, to get involved in voter registration and the concerted effort to get out and vote in November 2022, just a little more than 90 days away. We still have time to make Dr. King’s words of 1957 a reality in 2022.

NO ONE EVER TOLD YOU ABOUT BLACK AUGUST? By Oscar H. Blayton Black America lives in a series of deserts. Many of us live in food deserts, financial deserts, employment deserts, and most of us live in information deserts. And just as Black bodies suffer from the lack of proper nourishment in food deserts, Black minds suffer from the lack of accurate history in information deserts. There is a great deal of African history, as well as the history of the African Diaspora, which has a rightful place as a significant ele-

ment of American history, that has been disregarded and even hidden by the proponents and enablers of white supremacy. The lifetimes of many scholars in the African Diaspora have been spent trying to bring enlightenment to the world relative to the history of Black folk. So it would be impossible for me to even attempt to recount more than the most minuscule slice of that history. That being the case, I want to point out only one thing at this time. And this being the month of August, I want to bring to your attention, Black August. Black August was initiated by the Black Guerilla Family in

By James A. Madison Editor & Publisher, Florida Sun

For those calling themselves Christian or a believer of any religion that believes in the God spoken of in the Bible, why would THIS God give so much power to women regarding the birth of a child, if He intended others to exercise control over the woman’s choice to either abort or allow a birth to be completed. It’s not a matter of sanctity of life; rather, a belief in the God of the universe who created everything with a purpose and controls all facets of human endeavor. Society is not responsible for abortion, only the individual woman who finds herself pregnant and wishes to terminate that pregnancy is responsible for the abortion. Some believe abortion is murder, but they do not wish to prosecute the woman; rather, they go after medical providers. Jeremiah 1:5 is often used to justify objection to a woman choosing to terminate a pregnancy. “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee.” What about Job 3:10-11, when he cried out to God: (10) Because it shut not up the doors of my mother’s womb, nor hid sorrow from mine eyes. (11) Why died I not from the womb? Why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly? And King David, a man after God’s own heart: 2 Samuel 12: 9, 13-18:

California’s San Quentin State Prison in 1979 when a group of incarcerated individuals came together to commemorate the deaths of Jonathan P. Jackson, who was killed on August 7, 1970, and his brother George Jackson, who was killed on August 21, 1971 – both at San Quentin State Prison. Some readers may put this commentary down to the mention of the Black Guerilla Family. Others may never have heard of it. Over the decades, the Black Guerilla Family has been characterized as a “gang” comprised of prison inmates and criminals from Black sections of inner cities. But Black August, since its beginnings, has become a people’s movement for prisoners’ rights and against America’s culture of incarcerating people of color as a means of political and social control. For more than four decades, those who are acutely aware of the inequality and violence suffered by people of color at the hands of America’s criminal justice system and its tandem system of prisons across the country have spoken out against these injustices, trying to keep the flickering torch of freedom alive. The day after George Jackson was killed by prison guards, more than 700 inmates at New York State’s Attica Prison went on a hunger strike. Three weeks after that, what has been termed the most signifi-

(9) Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the LORD, to do evil in his sight? Thou hast killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him. (13) And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said unto David, The LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die. (14) Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die. (15) And Nathan departed unto his house. And the LORD struck the child that Uriah’s wife bare unto David, and it was very sick. (16) David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth. (18) And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead. Church members: Which is the greater sin? Pregnancy only happens to women of a certain age. It’s biological, and can affect the woman’s health. It’s ironic that many who call themselves Christian stand so strongly against abortion when they make no effort to speak out against the root causes that would necessitate a woman to seek one.

cant prison rebellion in American history was staged. Today, the killing of the Jackson brothers and the Attica Prison rebellion are all but forgotten by – or never known to – most Americans. But those with lived experiences of the injustice inherent in America’s legal apparatus have not forgotten. In 2021, a Black August commemoration was held at the gates of San Quentin Prison with a mixture of speeches, music, spoken word, poetry and phone calls from San Quentin inmates. But before the day of the commemoration, one of the organizers of the event was arrested in Oakland by California Department of Corrections police. Minister King X, a formerly incarcerated Black artist, educator and activist, was charged with violating a little-known California law that prohibits formerly incarcerated individuals from being on prison property without state permission. The charges against Minister King X were dropped two days before the commemoration took place, but his arrest was viewed as an intimidation tactic by law enforcement. Few people of color would argue that the American criminal justice system is fair, and most people of color can cite an example of how that unfairness impacted someone they know. America, as a nation, is coming to understand that its current form of law enforcement was

For example, adultery is a sin according to the Bible, even if you just think about it. In physical adultery cases, many seek abortion to avoid embarrassment or to save a marriage. Another example is sexual impropriety. According to the Bible any sex outside of marriage is a sin. Should there be a law banning adultery or sex outside of marriage? Trying to ban abortion is like saying we are banning pregnancy. Sexual intercourse is the process that produces pregnancies. People are not going to stop having sex and if a pregnancy ensues unintentionally, a decision must be made. The child by God’s direction is formed in the woman’s womb, not the man; Why? It just baffles me how so-called Christian claim they believe in the God of the Bible, yet, consider Him asleep on the job when it comes to abortion. Has it dawned on these people that God knew men and women would run amok when it came to sexual behavior, which can lead to pregnancy. Yet, in spite of this, He still gave women the power of life or death as it relates to a completed birth. There are perhaps many theories as to why women of the human species were given this task. Society cannot control what God of the universe has uniquely ordained as a woman’s choice, whether good or bad. Think about it.

born out of a system of regulating the activities and movement of enslaved Black and brown people. For hundreds of years, this country has witnessed the torture and execution of innocent people of color in the name of progress and justice. And yet, even with all this social awareness, numerous efforts aimed at criminal justice reform and making America an egalitarian society are invisible, even to Black and brown communities. Perhaps it is time for communities of color to consider joining in to make Black August a commemorative memorial to those who have been unjustly arrested, incarcerated or killed by a criminal justice system that does not deserve to carry the word “justice” in its name. Perhaps it is time we lend our voices to a struggle that we know is just and lift up those who suffer at the hands of a system created to enforce slavery and maintained to uphold white supremacy. Perhaps it is time to let Black August be the beginning of our more forcefully speaking truth to power and reinforcing our movement towards emancipation from the chains and shackles of injustice.

Shirley Chisholm

California’s water supply in 2019.

If legislation passes, Congressional Gold Medal would be bestowed Voice & Viewpoint Newswire Representatives Barbara Lee (CA13), Maxine Waters (CA-43), Hakeem Jeffries (NY-08), and Yvette Clarke (NY-09) have introduced HR 8535, which is legislation to award the Honorable Shirley Chisholm with the Congressional Gold Medal.

Shirley Chisholm was the first African American woman to the United States Congress. In 1968, the Congresswoman took her seat as the Representative for New York’s 12th Congressional District—a post that she would hold for seven terms.

As a champion of the poor and marginalized, a tireless worker for American families, and a role model to me and other women in politics, Congresswoman Chisholm has served courageously in the face of adversity and systematic racism,” said Rep.

Shirley Chisholm’s legacy shows that women need to be represented in every level of government.

In April I led a congressional delegation to Barbados where Members of Congress met with Caribbean leaders to discuss issues of financial access and inclusion. Shirley Chisholm’s trailblazing legacy was raised by Caribbean leaders and she is remembered as a national hero. That is because Chisholm spoke truth to power, no matter how unpopular it was, and refused to sit idly by as our communities suffered and were relegated to second-class citizenship. Her bold, progressive vision helped low-income families, hungry school children and struggling families get the support they needed, and her voice has helped to shape the politics of today. I carry the spirit and tenacity of Chisholm, whose shoulders we all stand on, and I am so incredibly pleased to join my colleagues, Representative Lee, Jeffries, and Clarke on this bill honoring Shirley Chisholm with the Congressional Gold Medal.“

Almost 1,200 classes with free or low-cost textbooks were offered at the district’s four colleges in fall 2020. About 370 faculty members are teaching such classes, with workshops and presentations being held to train additional faculty members.

The grant will expand previous projects from faculty, staff, and the bookstore to develop zero-cost textbook courses. Last year, students at San Diego City, Mesa, and Miramar colleges were able to save over $3 million in educational costs. In addition, Educational materials created through this grant will be labeled with a Creative Commons license, which means that colleges and students statewide will have free access to them. Mathematics currently has the most zero-textbook-cost courses, although numerous other areas, including psychology, business, history and English, offer such classes. In fall 2021, students in zero-textbook-cost classes had a 2% higher success rate than other classes.

Black Owned Cooperative and Shopping Center in Fam Mart Has Plans to Grow Article continuation from Cover “My father started this business 20 years ago after retiring from a comp any t hat d e s i g ne d ai rline interiors,” Z explained pridefully. “We’ve been in this location for the past 10 years, but before that we were at the Kolby Swapmeet.”

Z’s energy is full of light, aspiration, and compassion for her Black community and its potential growth with her family’s business. She gives credit to her dad for teaching her the “gift of gab” and including her in the learning process of being a small business. Z tells us that her mom and dad, Linda and Dwayne Booker are the foundation of DLBooker Enterprise. With a jovial spirit, Z reminisces of the early days when they were one of the first to start a website with GoDaddy. She said it was a time when images of each item took ten minutes to load and the phone line was tied up as they were doing it. “We are updating the site,” they would tell friends and family. “Don’t call us for the next couple of hours.” We laughed together thinking about the slow-archaic technology of the past and what it took to be a small-business owner before everything came with the ease of a click. According to Zienia, the family history of DLBooker Enterprise is a bootstrap story in itself. Starting at the swapmeet, the very first day, they had to have the lady across from them help to pitch the pop-up tent. It wasn’t too long before they went from one tent and expanded to five tents. Sales started off slow but together, as a family, they found courses that would teach them how to get someone’s attention in 15 seconds. After some time, they became the loudest vendor at the swapmeet and their button-up colorful men’s dress shirts were selling off the shelves. Apparently, they were only $15. $10 less than the exact shirt being sold at the Men’s Warehouse across the street. Z said that she wouldn’t be the business woman she is today, if it weren’t for her dad taking her to business courses and teaching her how to come out of her shyness. When the Bookers moved their business to Fam Mart, they acquired one 20 X 20 space. At that time, the complex was called the San Diego Market Place. The former Fam Mart establishment moved up to 54th and University and ran business out of that strip mall. Sometime after the Bookers moved

into SD MarketPlace and started acquiring more space, Fam Mart came back and re-established itself. It seems the owners were honest with the Bookers about the history. Contrary to other opinions, the Bookers decided to continue to patronize the complex. They now rent the entire back half of the warehouse which is roughly the equivalent of ten to fifteen 20x20 spaces. The Bookers want to collaborate with more Black vendors to bring their businesses in. As of now, they rented the kitchen area to a Black owned restaurant called “Crav’n Crab Cakes”. They also used some of the space to open a hair salon with stations and have contracted stylists and a nail salon that is getting ready to open with chairs and tubs already in place. There are plenty more spaces for any other Black-owned boutiques, business owners or artists that want to collaborate with the Bookers. The location has great potential to one day be what it once was, but with a touch more of class. The Bookers also give back to the community by offering GPA discounts to high school youth needing a prom or graduation outfit, and to formerly incarcerated men needing clothes for their next interview or job. Z mentioned that giving back is important to her family because they know that God will bless them in return. According to Z, the entire family puts God first before any move that they make and all the credit for their success is given to the Man above because of their unwavering belief in what HE can do for them. God was most certainly present the afternoon of our visit, and it brought an additional sense of peace and light to the environment that didn’t feel anything like the old Fam Mart vibes. Now, the vibe is peaceful and welcoming and many in our community will be able to enjoy the comfortable atmosphere. For now, the Bookers have huge hopes and dreams for Fam Mart to become a lively spot again for the Black community. They continue to invest and buy more space for other Black owned businesses to join and create a larger collaborative within the complex. They would like help spreading the word or having events that will draw the crowds back to the venue and back to the community. Zenia hopes the current business will one day grow to become an entire shopping mall for recycled Black dollars. But for now, patrons can come relax, enjoy and shop for home decor, sassy printed tees, colorful fascinators, scarfs, Black beauty supply and hair care, clothing and an entire men’s section of high fashion suits, shoes, socks, hats and dress shirts. If you haven’t been to Fam Mart in awhile, it is time to come check it out and see what DLBooker Enterprises has to offer.

Celebrating Mrs. Henretta Thomas Shields

106 Birthday th

By Darrel Wheeler Contributing Writer

On the first Saturday of August, Mrs. Henretta Thomas Shields was treated to a big celebration for her 106th birthday. Yes, that’s right: One Hundred and Six years old! Mrs.Thomas was the first born to Edward Thomas and Camille Baker in Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana, on August 7, 1916. Her parents went on to have 7 more children, 5 boys and 2 girls. Henretta married Abell Shields on May 29, 1933, at the age of 17 and Abell was 19. On a quest for a better life Henretta, Abell and their first born child Raymond relocated to San Diego in 1945. They went on to have 4 more children over the next 11 years, Abel (1949), Gloria (1951), Larry (1953) and Lynn (1958). Henretta became a widow in 1987, after 54 years of marriage. In the present day, Cleveland Braswell and Aron King shared the MC duties and got the party started for San Diego’s Wonder Woman. The birthday girl got the royal treatment from a host of relatives, friends, and well wishers.

Songs by soulful vocalist Eric (Hornet for life) Overstreet and songstress Arnessa ReKay Jones, plus a poetry reading by Furahaa Saba, provided some entertainment for the big celebration. “My Mother never smoked anything or drank alcohol. I think those are two factors that added to her longevity,” son Larry Shields shared. “She is a genuinely good person. She made a lot of sacrifices for us growing up. She always made sure we had what we needed and her happiness came from making other people happy.” The triple-great grandmother was served her papers of recognition by City Councilmember Monica Montgomery Steppe and a special proclamation from the Office of California’s Secretary of State, Shirley Weber. The George Stevens Center was a place for the happy-feeling, well deserved recognition and standing ovations for Mrs. Henretta Thomas Shields for a life well lived. “She is a phenomenal woman. Her daughter was married to my son so we go a long way back. We share grandsons and Grandmama Shields has been the highlight light of my life. I love her so much,” shared in-law Mary Lawson.

Larry Himmel Neighborhood Foundation Teams Up With SKYLINE

FOOTBALL & Voice & Viewpoint Staff

The Larry Himmel Neighborhood Foundation, a local public charity, can be seen all over San Diego providing help: whether it be free back-to-school haircuts or raising money for team sports. In 2021, the Larry Himmel Neighborhood Foundation was able to help Skyline Youth Football & Cheer after their uniforms were stolen and storage space was vandalized. “There was a bit of an urgency. We want to help them out as quickly as we can so they can get back on the field and do what kids do,” said Dave Sniff, President of the Larry Himmel Neighborhood Foundation, in a 2021 Fox 5 interview. This year, the Foundation again raised money to assist parents who were not able to afford signing their children up for the Skyline Youth Football and Cheer teams. In all, they were able to sponsor 50 kids for this year’s session. The kids were able to show off their skills at the 2022 Kickoff Rally, which was heartily attended by locals and members of the Foundation. “It was amazing to see the smiles on the kid’s faces and we hope they have a wonderful season,” said the Larry Himmel Neighborhood Foundation in a press release.

B-LAC South Bay Celebrates

2nd Annual Back to School Festival By Amara N. Beaty Staff Writer

In the late afternoon of August 6, the Chula Vista youth organization Black Learners Advisory Committee, otherwise known as B-LAC, kicked off the school year for incoming and returning South Bay students with their 2nd Annual African American Back to School Festival at Eastlake High.

Photos: Amara N. Beaty

Held on the high school’s outdoor stage right outside the Ruth French Chapman Performing Arts Center, tons of new and returning Sweetwater Union High School District students and their families as well as staff, administrators, educators, and community members joined together to support the students’ scholastic endeavors. From 3 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., students and community members alike shared their variety of talents on the outdoor stage. From majorette and interpretive styled dancing to powerful lyricism presented in rap and spoken word, performers of all ages excited and engaged the watching crowd. There were even times where the audience was pulled on stage to join in dances like the Cupid Shuffle and Electric Slide, bringing in that Black, family reunion spirit. The goal of the event was clear: create an environment full of love, support, and community from everyone in attendance, as well as a space to promote educational opportunities for Black stu-

dents in the South Bay. This message was made clear by the support of the vendors and business owners, many of whom were Black business owners, who came to provide programs and opportunities for the children as well as the staff who took the time out to work with the students to put this event together. The Chula Vista Police Department also came out to show their support at the event and to inform the public and interested youth in attendance of their cadet program as well as to provide a tactical demonstration of their drone—which the CVPD also provides a youth program for. Among the CVPD officers and detectives was Officer Jason Wilder, who graduated from Eastlake High School in 2016. He was one of the many students who joined the cadet program in his youth. Given the history and present reality of policing and Black people, the CVPD’s commitment to show their support and to engage with the public in a relaxed and even humorous manner was necessary. All in all, the event was fun, inviting, and full of familial spirit! The blend of community and family was real and the love was felt by all in attendance. A great luck is wished to all the children of the Sweetwater High School District as they take on yet another year of academia!

“Building enduring partnerships between community residents, businesses, nonprofits, and law enforcement is key to promoting safer neighborhoods.

In the northwestern state of Zamfara, heavily armed bandit gangs raid villages, attack drivers, abduct children and kill anyone who resists. As seen through this hourlong video, we hear the voices of Fulani-dominated bandits, as they are popularly called in Nigeria, and Hausadominated vigilantes, including the men who abducted almost 300 secondary schoolgirls in February 2021. In the voices of both victims and perpetrators, the film lays bare the full horror of the violence that has taken hold across the northwest. It makes clear that the Niger-

ian state is failing to provide basic security to many of its citizens, reveals just how lucrative the kidnap-for-ransom business has become, and warns the country of the deepening crisis between Hausa and Fulani. At great personal risk, Anka reaches out to the survivors of last year’s high school kidnapping from the government-run school in Jangebe who, despite the trauma still visible in their young faces, tell how they urgently want to return to their studies. The bandits behind the abduction have never been caught and have never previously spoken to the media, but Anka and a BBC team track down one of the men who led the attack on the school. He claims on camera that the bandits were paid a ransom of 60 million naira (just under US$150,000) from the Niger-

associates in frustration names the grievances that are driving many young Fulani men to join bandit gangs. The Fulani people have always been cattle herders, but cattle herding has become increasingly difficult as traditional grazing routes have been closed off and land and water have become scarce.

ian government for the release of the girls. “What did you do with the money?” asks Anka. The reply: “We bought more rifles.” While the government of Zamfara State has always denied that any ransom was paid to the bandits, AK-47s and other high capacity rifles could be seen in the film throughout the bandit camps.

We also see the chaotic release of the girls back to their families in early March, when the families were being forced to listen to long speeches by local politicos until they got up demanding to take their children home before nightfall. In an interview at the camp of Ado Aleru, a notorious Fulani gang leader, one of his

Fulani are systematically excluded from government jobs and other economic opportunities, and that the Nigerian air force attacks innocent Fulani herders and kills their cattle. “How have the Fulani become so worthless in Nigeria?” he asks. Meanwhile, Hausa farming communities have formed similar vigilante groups to defend their fields and families. After a recent massacre, one shouted: “If allowed, we will kill every Fulani man, even in the town because

It remains a bitter memory for Asians, some life-long and others more recent residents of Uganda, of their sudden, unexpected expulsion from the African country they called home 50 years ago this month.

As election fever is cresting in the East African nation of Kenya, declassified documents have been published exposing the spread of fake news by the UKs propaganda arm against the country’s first vice president, for his leftist views.

He made no distinction between Asians born in the UK, born in India or born in Uganda. Properties left behind were taken over by the ‘Departed Asians Custodial Board’, which soon became Uganda’s biggest landlord. For Amin, the ‘Economic War’ was an enduring victory. Throughout the

1970s his government commemorated the expulsion of August 1972 with military parades and popular celebrations. But the Indians weren’t new arrivals in Africa. In the 1890s, around 40,000 Indians, mostly Punjabis, were brought in as immigrant workers to build the Uganda Railway connecting Mombasa in Kenya to Kampala in Uganda. The 600 mile railway took more than 30,000 laborers six years to build, and cost

over 2,000 lives. It has since been replaced by the Chinese. Many of the expelled Asians fled to the UK and concentrated in the area known as Leicester. A major exhibit ‘Rebuilding Lives: 50 Years of Ugandan Asians in Leicester’ at the Leicester Museum and Art Gallery will recognize for the first time those who fled the Ugandan dictator Idi Amin.

“But it does reveal, with painful clarity, the human cost of the violence. There are mothers here who have seen their children slaughtered in front of their eyes, families who have been displaced from their homes, schoolchildren who are still traumatized by the nightmare of abduction and captivity.” “With this film, available on YouTube, Anka and BBC Africa Eye have made an important contribution towards that understanding.”

DECLASSIFIED DOCS SHOW Global Information Network

In a recorded video from the Command Post in Kololo on Aug. 6, Idi Amin unleashed a torrent of charges - that the Asians refused to integrate, that their main interest was to exploit the economy of Uganda and the Ugandan Africans. “They have been milking the economy of the country,” he declared.

“The Bandit Warlords of Zamfara offers no simple explanation for the crisis that is destroying lives across north western Nigeria,” writes Daniel Adamson, senior news editor of BBC Eye Investigations.

NEW JERSEY SENATOR SEEKS REVIEW OF AID TO RWANDA FOR RIGHTS ABUSES IN CONGO Global Information Network The Rwandan government’s human rights record is under a harsh spotlight over its role in the conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Sen. Robert Menendez, chair of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee said he would place a hold on U.S. security assistance to Rwanda in Congress over concerns about the Rwandan government’s human rights record. In a letter to U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, Senator Menendez called for a review of U.S. policy towards Rwanda. Menendez is pursuing a hold

on several million dollars in support for Rwandan peacekeepers participating in U.N. missions, according to his letter to Blinken which was leaked to the media and which his office confirmed was authentic. A hold is a Senate procedure that prevents a motion from reaching the floor for a vote. Menendez said he feared that U.S. support for the Rwandan military while it is deployed to Congo and backing rebels would send “a troubling signal that the U.S. tacitly approves of such actions.” Menendez cited what he said were credible accusations that the Rwandan government was muzzling critics

more than $147 million in foreign assistance to Rwanda in 2021, making it Rwanda’s largest bilateral donor. “We’ve said before that we’re concerned about the rising tensions between the DRC and Rwanda,” Price told a regular press briefing, urging both sides to exercise restraint and engage in dialogue.

The issue of human rights violations in Rwanda has been raised by numerous rights organizations including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch. According to the State Dept’s 2020 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices, significant human rights viola-

tions in Rwanda include “unlawful or arbitrary killings, forced disappearance by the government, torture by the government, life threatening conditions in some detention facilities, arbitrary detention, “among many. Most recently, according to a U.N. group of experts, Rwandan troops attacked soldiers inside the Democratic Republic of Congo and aided the M23 rebel group with weapons and support, citing “solid evidence” despite reiterated denials by Kigali. A Rwandan government spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

sible after infection, so get tested as soon as symptoms develop.”

Chances are that you or someone you know has tested positive for COVID19 amid the current wave of new infections in the region. San Diego is currently in the CDC’s high-risk community level for COVID-19, meaning virus transmission is widespread throughout the region. Treatment is available and can help prevent severe infection, but it is important to seek help as soon as possible to see if it’s right for you.

Antiviral medications require a doctor’s prescription and should be started within five days of developing symptoms of COVID-19. Monoclonal antibodies should be given no more than seven days after the onset of symptoms. Treatment centers and medical offices in the region may offer oral antiviral pills, such as Paxlovid and/ or monoclonal antibodies delivered as an intravenous infusion. A provider will determine what treatment option is best for each individual patient based on their symptoms, age and potential underlying conditions.

“If you’re already vaccinated then treatment gives you extra protection, and it can reduce your risk of hospitalization or worse even if you’re not,” said Cameron Kaiser, M.D., M.P.H., County deputy public health officer. “Treatment works best if it’s started as soon as pos-

Treatment is available to individuals who meet the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s guidelines for the medications, including those

To determine which treatment is best for you, talk to your doctor or health care provider, or call 2-1-1 to find a provider.

ORDER OF THE HEALTH OFFICER (QUARANTINE OF PERSONS EXPOSED TO COVID-19) Everyone is at risk for becoming ill with COVID-19, but some people are more vulnerable to serious illness due to age or underlying health conditions. San Diego County is currently subject to a declared local health emergency and a proclaimed local emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Governor of the State of California proclaimed a state of emergency. In order to slow the spread of COVID19, and prevent the healthcare system in San Diego County from being overwhelmed, it is necessary for the Health Officer of the County of San Diego (Health Officer) to require the quarantine of persons exposed to COVID-19. Household contacts, intimate partners, caregivers, and any other person who have been in close contact with a person either diagnosed with COVID-19, or likely to have COVID-19 (COVID-19 Patient), are subject to this Order unless a specific exception applies. A “close contact” is someone sharing the same indoor airspace (i.e., home, clinic waiting room, or airplane), for a cumulative total of 15 minutes or more over 24 hours (e.g., exposed to three infected individuals, three 5-minute exposures, for a total of 15 minutes), during an infected person’s laboratoryconfirmed or clinically diagnosed infectious period. This order requires persons to follow the quarantine periods and measures applicable to their unique situation. The length of the quarantine, and the measure to be taken, may be different based on factors such as vaccination status, health conditions, COVID-19 symptoms,

workplace setting, or school setting. Since these requirements may change based on new data, this Order incorporates detailed quarantine criteria and measures in the hyperlinks below. If the documents linked below are updated, those updates will automatically be part of this Order. This Order does not prevent an employer, school, facility, the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), or a licensing agency from imposing more stringent quarantine requirements. The Health Officer therefore ORDERS pursuant to California Health and Safety Code sections, 101040, 101030, 120175, 120215, 120220, and 120225: 1. All Persons who are “close contacts” as stated above shall comply with the applicable quarantine measures set forth below. a) Members of the general public who are close contacts shall follow all applicable quarantine measures identified in the California Department of Public Health’s most recent Guidance for Local Health Jurisdictions on Isolation and Quarantine of the General Public. The currentversion is available here, and may be subsequently amended: ht t p s : / / w w w. c dp h . c a . g ov / Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/ C OV I D - 1 9 / Gu i d a n c e - o n Isolation-and-Quarantine-forCOVID-19-Contact-Tracing. aspx b) Qualifying health care personnel shall comply with the most

recent California Department of Public Health’s Guidance on Quarantine and Isolation for Health Care Personnel (HCP) Exposed to SARS-CoV-2 and Return to Work for HCP with COVID-19, the current version is available here, and may be subsequently amended: https:// www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/ CHCQ/LCP/Pages/AFL-21-08. aspx. c) Schools may follow the quarantine guidance set forth in the most recent COVID-19 Public Health Guidance for K-12 Schools in California, 202122 School Year. The current version is available here, and may be subsequently amended: ht t p s : / / w w w. c dp h . c a . g ov / Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/ COVID-19/K-12-Guidance2021-22-School-Year.aspx. 2. During critical staffing shortages, employers may use alternative quarantine/work exclusion guidance for their workforce or facility where specifically permitted by CDPH or an applicable State licensing agency (e.g., waiver from Cal/OSHA from the return- to-work requirements of the Emergency Temporary Standards). 3. For the purpose of meeting the negative COVID-19 test requirement to end quarantine, any US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved/authorized COVID-19 diagnostic viral test, including nucleic acid amplification (NAAT) tests (e.g., lab-based PCR, loop mediated amplification [LAMP] tests) or

antigen test, is sufficient for all settings including workplace settings. 4. Additional updates to quarantine periods, measures to be taken, and exceptions, may occur subsequent to the date of this Order. These updates will be posted adjacent to the section labeled “Quarantine Order” on the following County webpage: https://www.sandiegocounty. gov/content/sdc/hhsa/programs/ phs/community_epidemiology/ dc/2019-nCoV/health-order. html. Any such updates posted on this webpage will automatically become part of this Order, and will take precedence over any inconstant provision included in the sections above. Any person subject to this Order should regularly check this webpage for updates. Home Quarantine Guidance for COVID-19 Close Contacts should be followed by those on home quarantine, because of exposure to a COVID-19 Patient. Guidance is found here: https://www.sandiegocounty.gov/content/dam/sdc/hhsa/ prog rams/phs/Epidemiolog y/ COVID-19%20Home%20 Quarantine%20Guidance.pdf Unless otherwise authorized by this Order, or an applicable quarantine protocol incorporated into this Order, a person under quarantine may not come within 6 feet of any person, excluding a treating medical professional, a law enforcement officer enforcing this Order, a representative of the Health Officer, any other person specifically authorized by the Health Officer, or a caretaker.

If you develop symptoms, please contact your medical provider. Signs and symptoms that are consistent with COVID-19 include cough, shortness of breath or trouble breathing, fatigue, fever or chills, muscle or body aches, headache, sore throat, new loss of taste or smell, congestion or runny nose, nausea orvomiting, or diarrhea. Based on guidance from your medical provider, you may need to isolate and get tested for COVID19. Public Health Officer’s Isolation Order is accessible through the following County webpage: https:// www.sandiegocounty.gov/content/ sdc/hhsa/programs/phs/community_epidemiology/dc/2019-nCoV/ health-order.html. Violation of, or failure to comply with, this Order is a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment, fine, or both (California Health and Safety Code sections 120275 and 120295). This Order may be enforced by any law enforcement officer within an area subject to their jurisdiction for the purpose of preventing the spread of a contagious, infectious, or communicable disease (California Government Code sections 26602 and 41601, and California Health and Safety Code section 101029). IT IS SO ORDERED:

BLACK HISTORY 1873 BIRTH OF J. ROSAMOND JOHNSON Born in Florida less than a decade after the Civil War, John Rosamond Johnson was a musical prodigy who played piano at age four. A prominent figure in Black music & culture in the early 20th century, around 1900, he and his older brother, James Weldon Johnson, wrote the now-iconic song, “Lift Ev’ry Voice and Sing”. In 1919, the NAACP named “Lift Ev’ry Voice and Sing” the Black National Anthem for its powerful cry for liberation and equality. Though he passed in 1954, his music is still in use today.

1965 BEGINNING OF THE WATTS RIOTS Also called the “Watts Rebellion” or the “Watts Uprising”, the series of violent protests lasted for six days.

It began with a traffic stop for suspected DUI. The young, Black driver, Marquette Frye, panicked when he failed the sobriety test, trying to avoid being handcuffed. The passenger, his brother Ronald, tried to protect his brother from a riot club. The commotion attracted attention in the largely Black neighborhood, including bringing the boys’ mother, Rena. All three were arrested. The surrounding crowd was also subjected to police violence. As the police began to leave, someone spit on a motorcycle cop. Police waded into the crowd and dragged out Joyce Ann Gaines for spitting on the officer. That was the final straw. Crowds of angry Black citizens threw rocks at White motorists in the area, dragging some out of cars and beating them. Black leaders requested that Black police be dispatched to the area, but then-Los Angeles Police Chief William H. Parker refused and requested the National Guard. The National Guard dispatched 14,000 members, but before they could calm the situation, the Police Commissioner referred to the protestors as “monkeys in a zoo”. It took the National Guard several more days to quell the riots. 26 of the 34 deaths were ruled “justifiable homicide”.
