MONEY RUNNING OUT FOR MILLIONS OF CALIFORNIANS ON INTERNET SUBSIDY PROGRAM Almost two hundred thousand San Diegan households included

By Macy Meinhardt VOICE & VIEWPOINT STAFF WRITER Starting in Mid-January, hundreds of millions of low-income Californians will get the notice that their internet access subsidy funded by the Affordable Connectivity Program will run out by mid-April. Consequently reinstating the barrier at the heart of the digital divide, internet cost. Birthed as a result of growing internet inequities amid the depth of the pandemic, the Biden Administration under the Bipartisan Infrastructure law, funded a $14 billion dollar Affordable Connectivity program (ACP) to provide low-income households $30 per month off their internet bills and an additional $100 voucher to go towards a laptop or computer purchase. On qualifying tribal lands, this subsidy could go up to $75.

Since the program started, over 20 million American households have enrolled. Within San Diego County, almost two hundred households have enrolled, particularly concentrated within the unincorporated, central and southern parts of the county, according to the Institute of Self Reliance ACP dashboard. However, without a funding renewal, the tap for the ACP program is in jeopardy of running dry, potentially requiring San Diegans, as well as residents across the state and country, to bear the full cost of their internet services.

Why this is important: Internet Cost is at the heart of the digital divide. The digital divide represents the disparate gap between those who have ready access to the internet– and the leverage for

personal and professional development it brings– versus those who do not have access. Internet inequities became pronounced during the COVID-19 pandemic, when societal activities were forced to go online amid globPress Event held this summer by the county to get more San Diegans enrolled in the ACP program. al-wide lockdowns.

SAN DIEGO UNVEILS NEW VISIONARY PLANS FOR MID-CITY COMMUNITIES By Macy Meinhardt VOICE & VIEWPOINT STAFF WRITER The mid-city communities which encompass the City Heights, Eastern Area, KensingtonTalmadge and Normal Heights neighborhoods, are slated to receive an update to their community plan for the first time in twenty-five years—targeting opportunities for homes and mixed use development connected to residential areas, public spaces and transit.

The updated plan, which will begin soliciting public input in 2024, is expected to bring new homes, businesses, and infrastructure to the region in order to sustain long term residential and economic

growth for the community. In addition the updated plan also intends to provide funding for needed investments into the communities parks, public spaces, and walk and bike areas. Back in October the city was awarded $4.8 million by SANDAG to help create more homes and infrastructure for San Diegans. $650,000 of those funds will be put into the Mid-City community plan update to support the cities 30-year vision for history and place, sustainability and climate resilience, land use, design, mobility, and parks, public facilities and open space.

According to studies produced by the California Emerging Technology Fund, 68% of statewide respondents stated that the internet being “too expensive” is one of the reasons why they lack a connection at home.

Digital Inequity Landscape In San Diego Rural and tribal communities in San Diego often have less options when it comes to selecting internet service providers, and frequently have to select lower-quality services for higher costs. According to a SANDAG analysis of U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey data, the City Heights (16%), San Ysidro (17%) and Barrio Logan/ Logan Heights (21%) areas have high concentrations of households with low income that do not have internet subscriptions. In addition the report found that almost 1 in 10 San Diego County’s minority residents lack a computer and/ or internet subscription. In response to this, SANDAG passed a resolution back in 2021 to take several initiatives to close the digital divide. With a focus on digital equity, the county recognizes accessible internet access as a civil right, and seeks to ensure that all individuals, regardless of socio-economic status and geography, have equal opportunities to access and utilize digital tools and resources. One of the primary programs featured in SANDAG’S GetConnected initiative is the Affordable Connectivity Program, and as of October 2023, the organization in support of the county has helped organize enrollment events, messaging to the public, and coordinated efforts between different organizations. Grants for outreach were awarded to the County’s Department of Homeless Solutions and Equitable Communities, as well as the San Diego Housing Commission. With such success in its enrollment and outreach efforts state wide, now digital equity advocates and ACP stakeholders are worried that consumers will feel the “rug pulled out from underneath them”

During the plan update process, the City Planning Department will consult Mid-City community members to identify and consider important questions, issues and opportunities. “This is the area’s first community plan update in 25 years, and we are counting on the public to share with us how we can best achieve this to ensure the plan benefits current and future San Diegans in Mid-City,” said City Planning Director Heidi Vonblum. Input the City’s Planning Department is looking for from community members include: • How can people of all backgrounds and incomes be able to live and work in MidCity?

This not only endangers residents who are already vulnerable but also undermines their trust in such programs. “We can’t in good conscience say ‘sure, we can get you signed up for this. but unfortunately, by the time you get everything settled, you'll have the internet for a few months and then that rug will kind of get pulled out from under you,” said Ryan Johnson Senior Policy Counsel, Next Century Cities. As a result, Johnson says that a lot of community based organizations are trying to prepare some of the more vulnerable residents in their communities to say, “now's the time that you need to be able to start looking for either alternative service or a more affordable service.” As of press time, the county nor the housing commission has confirmed any plans to prepare enrolled San Diegans that will lose their funding.

How Politics will Affect Funding However, in a more broad national context, Lauren Gaydes, who is the Director at Glen Echo Group and worked for the GOP party on capitol hill, says that this a bipartisan supported initiative with political motivation given the upcoming election year; therefore it shouldn't have too much difficulty getting passed for a renewal. “It's not going to be good if in October a member of congress is doing a stump speech and someone gets up and raises their hand and says ‘well you took my internet away’”. For the time being however, “unfortunately congress just has other stuff going on right now,” said Gaydes, however she remains hopeful that they will come through before funding is officially cut off. V&V will continue to follow this story and provide updates on the status of the renewal in the new year. Happy Holidays.

• How can we make it easier for people to walk/roll, bike and use transit? • Where are the special places in Mid-City that we can celebrate and invest in? • How do we make Mid-City more adaptable, equitable and resilient? “As communities grow and change, it’s important to have an updated plan that is aligned with present-day needs and opportunities to create more homes, jobs and new infrastructure,” said Vonblum, in a recent press release. The Mid-City community of San Diego has about 176k residents and has had a 12% population growth since 2000, according to census data. The median household income in the region is $57,398, while the median individual income is $30,180. In addition the region’s racial demographics include: 42% Hispanic, 29% white, and 10% Black residents.

By Dr. John E. Warren PUBLISHER, THE SAN DIEGO VOICE & VIEWPOINT

his week, the City of San Diego is celebrating the Holiday Bowl, an event created decades ago to bring economic business to this city during an otherwise dead period for tourism on a grand scale. But like all things there is a piece of history contributing to the activities that was added by our African American community more than 25 years ago. In 1995, more than 25 years ago, San Diego Voice & Viewpoint Newspaper owners, John and Gerri Warren, created the Gold Coast Classic which brought Historically Black College and University (HBCUs) Football Bowls to San Diego, California. The big remaining remnant of that era is the Battle of The Bands, which has become one of the big events of the Holiday Bowl. More than 25 years ago, the Gold Coast Classic launched a full week of events which included a Sunday Pageant to select a King and Queen for the week’s activities while receiving scholarships to the college of their choice; a

There was also a Black College Fair with representatives from HCBUs. The events were the first of what was to become a tradition in the Battle of the Bands which brought 12,000 people to the San Diego Convention Center while four hundred more were in the USS Kitty Hawk Aircraft Carrier at North Island celebrating a Black Tie Reception for the HBCU school presidents. Budweiser Clydesdale Horses were star participants, and a first-year game between Howard University and Morgan State University saw 25,000 attendees in seats at Qualcomm Stadium. It was Black San Diego that helped sustain this event for almost 10 years, leading up to the California wildfires of 2004 which took their toll on all of us. This statement is for the generation of San Diegans, and Black San Diegans in particular, who have no knowledge of what many of us did before they were born. Those of us who set the bar, proclaim that you can do so much more. We didn’t have the internet or a Black San Diego facebook group. But we did have a desire to work together and help one another, So as we go through this Holiday Bowl celebration, which so often does not have many who look like some of us, let’s reflect on what has been done and take the limits off what we can do if we work together and help one another.

SUPPORTING HBCUS’ SUSTAINABILITY IN AMERICA By Dr. Benjamin F. Chavis, Jr. PRESIDENT AND CEO OF THE NATIONAL NEWSPAPER PUBLISHERS ASSOCIATION

Earlier this year the U.S. Department of Education sent all colleges and universities across the nation a notice, reminding them that they need to comply with the newly updated cybersecurity regulations published by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The regulations — which include specifications such as PHOTO: Freepik implementing critical controls for information security programs, maintaining oversight of service providers, top ranked colleges and universities, with the overall endowand designating an individual to oversee a school’s cybersecurity ments at all the country’s HBCUs accounting for less than a tenth infrastructure — came in response to an uptick in ransomware of Harvard’s. attacks on schools around the United States. While these regulations are certainly warranted in an age where personal data is becoming increasingly vulnerable to cyber-criminals, the penalties for failing to comply with the regulations — especially the withholding of federal needs-based funding under Title IV — pose an existential threat to schools operating under tight budgets.

The gap in funding between PWIs and HBCUs isn’t just because of smaller endowments, it’s also because state lawmakers keep funds off HBCU campuses — in North Carolina, for example, legislators awarded N.C. State an extra $79 million for research while N.C. A&T — the nation’s largest HBCU — was given only $9.5 million.

Take Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), which have throughout their existence struggled to find the substantial funding that many state and private predominantly white institutions (PWIs) of higher education enjoy and who are already steeling themselves to deal with an expected surge of applicants following the Supreme Court’s regressive decision to effectively end Affirmative Action admission programs. The loss of Title IV funding would drastically affect around 80% of the student bodies at HBCUs and would have a consequential negative impact on the future of these vital institutions of higher education.

When it comes to access to technology, HBCUs also face an uphill battle with 82% of HBCUs being located in so-called “broadband deserts.”

Endowments at HBCUs pale in comparison to those at the U.S.’s

HBCUs truly know how to do more with less, but they cannot

Despite their struggles with funding, and the fact that these schools constitute only 3 percent of four-year colleges in the country, HBCU graduates account for 80 percent of all Black judges, 50 percent of Black lawyers, 50 percent of Black doctors, 40 percent of Black members of Congress, and our country’s current vice president.

The Black Man Who Blazed a Trail for Stephen A. Smith and Others to Make Millions By Stacy M. Brown

In the glitzy world of sports talk radio, where mega-contracts make headlines and charismatic hosts dominate the airwaves, there is an unsung pio- PHOTO: Art Rust Jr. Book neer whose name rarely echoes through the halls of fame. Art Rust Jr. Rust was born in Harlem on October 13, 1927, and died in 2010 at 82. He was a maverick who changed the game of sports broadcasting. His career included stints at WNBC, WMCA, and WINS Radio before he emerged as a pivotal figure with his groundbreaking show, “Sports Talk.” Rust’s “Sports Talk” was a game-changer, giving fans a platform to engage in conversation for three hours every night. Initially hired to host the Yankees Pre-Game show, Rust was on air every night from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. during the summer strike, which birthed an all-sports talk radio show that captivated disheartened baseball fans and laid the groundwork for the likes of WFAN, which emerged in 1988 with an all-white crew and not even a mention or an invitation to Rust. Longtime listener Alex Belth recalled listening to Rust in the early 1980s, and how he tried to get up the nerves to call in and ask if Reggie Jackson would hit 500 home runs. “For years, I listened to Art Rust Jr. His voice was knowing and sure,” Belth recalled. In an era where sports talk hosts command staggering salaries, there’s little reminder of Rust, a Black man who sowed the seeds that both white and Black sportscasters are reaping. Some equate today’s hosts with baseball players who fail to recognize former St. Louis Cardinal great Curt Flood. Flood won seven consecutive Gold Glove Awards beginning in ’63 and hit better than .300 in six of his 12 years with St. Louis. Flood who, upon being traded to the Phillies on October 7, 1969, took a stand that would effectively end his career and change the sport forever. He penned a letter to Commissioner Bowie Kuhn in which Flood began his fight against the reserve clause, which bound a player to one team unless that club chose to trade or release that player. After Kuhn refused to grant Flood free agency, Flood filed a lawsuit against the Commissioner and MLB, alleging a violation of antitrust laws. However, in 1976, the reserve clause disintegrated, and the groundwork for free agency as we know it today was laid. “The fact that Curt Flood, one of the best all-around players of his generation, was willing to risk it all for others is one of the greatest displays of personal sacrifice known to the sports world,” said Tony Clark, the executive director of the MLB Players Association. Flood’s fight forever transformed baseball economics. The average salary of an MLB player in 2023 was $4.9 million, or about ten times the amount Flood made over his entire 15-year career. Art Rust Jr. is their Curt Flood for those hosting talk shows about baseball and other sports. And, like most baseball players who reap the spoils of modern economics thanks to Flood, sports talk show hosts rarely, if ever, extend a thank you to Rust. be saddled with costly regulations that pose an existential crisis to their ability to operate and be given no help to deflect some of the costs. Fortunately, however, there are businesses and individuals who see the importance of HBCUs to the Black community and are willing to lend their hands — and their dollars — to support them. Given the empowering impact HBCUs have on the nation’s Black community and the future promise of a more inclusive America, it is imperative that more companies support the work the Student Freedom Initiative is doing to ensure these vital higher education schools can continue to educate and inspire future generations. As Vice President Harris said, “What you learn at an HBCU is you do not have to fit into somebody’s limited perspective on what it means to be young, gifted and Black.” We in the National Association for Equal Opportunity in Higher Education (NAFEO) https://www.nafeonation.org/ stand in strong support of the Student Freedom Initiative. We all should work together to ensure the sustainability of HBCUs in America.

William Eric “Billy” Clady was born September 23, 1950, in Memphis, Tennessee, to parents Jacob and Elmelia Clady. He was the ninth in the family of eleven children. His family relocated to San Diego in 1957. As an infant, Billy was dedicated to the Lord at St. Paul Baptist Church in Memphis and as a young boy at Mt. Carmel Baptist Church in San Diego. In 1981, he joined Mt. Zion Baptist Church and rededicated his life. Billy’s formal education includes Douglas (Memphis, TN) and Hornet Elementary Schools. He joined the Boy Scouts of America and he regularly earned his merit badges as a Cub Scout. As one of his hobbies, Billy and his friends collected and traded treasured baseball cards. He dreamed of having a trading card with his image and stats. He played in the Little League Program, from Pony to Major at Southcrest Park, Chollas Lake, and National City. He chased that dream into his adulthood. Billy played at San Diego City College and on organized city-league teams throughout Los Angeles. Billy had the courage to try out for the Los Angeles and Oakland athletics. He coached at the Sunshine Field and regularly attended his grandchildren’s games. They made him proud. He and his son often attended Padre games at Petco Park. As a teen, Billy attended Gompers Junior High School and worked summers with his father and brothers learning the family trade, carpentry. In 1967, he moved to Oakland, CA, with his eldest brother to work and attend high school. At Castlemont High, he was named most valuable player (MVP) as a defensive back in football. However, Billy completed high school at Lincoln High School (class of ‘68). He wanted that coveted “Letterman’s” jacket from his neighborhood school. That prized leather jacket sported two letters, one from Castlemont and the other from Lincoln. Billy was a “Hornet for life!” Upon graduation, Billy attended San Diego City College. Once again, he followed his big brother Jake to Los Angeles to work. This move allowed him to pursue professional baseball as well. He also worked as a carpenter, butcher, and retail manager. While living in Los Angeles, Billy met Jacqueline Garrett and they were married in 1971. Two children were born to this union, a son named Dante and a daughter named Shawnte. Billy had two other daughters that he loved and cherished, Crystal and T’Erica. Billy was the first to tell you how imperfect he was. However, he was never to be tested about his loyalty to his children and his family. He was always ready to protect the ones he loved. His sense of humor was always on display. He delighted in entertaining his numerous nieces, nephews, and extended family with his off-colored comments and edgy stories. Billy was the uncle who saw the funny in everything. Billy passed on July 25, 2023. Billy was preceded in death by his parents, wife Jackie, and his siblings; Blondale, Jake, and Herschel. Billy is survived by his son Dante, daughters; Shawnte Daniels (Ayo), Crystal, T’Erica, and bonus daughter Danielle, ten grandchildren; Dante Jr., Marcell, Teyana, Shemia, Damonte, Darnell, William Lil Billy, Charlena, Raymond, and Elisaeh, great-granddaughter Kaelyn, siblings; Dorothy Laverne, Charlotte, June, Marshall, Marvin, Jadene (Stanley) and Cathy, and a host of nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends.

City Clears East Village Encampments Residents Moved Off Street into Housing and Shelter VOICE & VIEWPOINT

ayor Todd Gloria announced last week that the City of San Diego has used state grant funding to address long standing homeless encampments in a heavily impacted part of East Village. In October 2022, the City’s Homelessness Strategies and Solutions Department (HSSD) was awarded $2.45 million from the California Interagency Council on Homelessness’ Encampment Resolution Funding Grant Program for HSSD’s proposed E Street Encampment Project. The E Street project focused on a string of encampments along the blocks surrounding the U.S. Post office and old Downtown Central Library, from Broadway to F Street and Seventh to 10th Avenues in East Village. The project ultimately identified a consistent unsheltered community of 76 people experiencing homelessness consistently encamped in this area. The goal of the program was to put each person on a path to long-term housing. HSSD contracted with nonprofit organizations NAMI San Diego and Healthcare in Action to conduct intensive outreach efforts, cultivate relationships with unsheltered residents in the area and offer services such as case management, health education, public benefits, mental health and substance abuse treatment, primary care referrals and access to hygiene kits, transportation and basic essentials. Outreach workers identified and worked with 126 people encamped in the target area dur-

Two of those in encampments were reconnected with family through the Downtown San Diego Partnership’s Family Reunification Program, two entered institutional settings, and three people carried out plans to move out of San Diego. The East Village project is the first of three in the city of San Diego to be created thanks to the state Encampment Resolution Funding (ERF) Grant Program.

COMMUNITY The Jackie Robinson YMCA

T O Y D R I V E Creates Holiday Cheer For Locals

that inspired the athlete in everyone who entered.

By Aryka Randall Contributing Writer

n event to remember, the Jackie Robinson YMCA’s annual Holiday Toy Drive brings locals out by the thousand once again! Hosted on the third Saturday of December, the YMCA opened its doors to families, kids and teens who were looking for something a little extra this holiday season. Not only does the toy drive aim to provide a memorable Christmas experience for recipients of toys, but it also gives the kids an opportunity to learn new skills and explore unfamiliar environments. Some of the highlights of the day were photo opportunities with Santa, Mrs. Claus and the Grinch - which were a huge hit with the younger kids. There was also a winter wonderland on the field complete with authentic snow for snowball fights, a rock climbing wall, and an inflatable obstacle course

TD Smith, Development Director at the YMCA, shared her thoughts on creating such a magical atmosphere for the youth. “We have so much fun doing this toy drive. We get to create new environments, like an area with snow where kids can experience what it’s like to actually have snow in the winter. They have so much fun,” Smith said. There were also several stations for kids to visit which ranged from gift wrapping stations to an area for a woodshop tutorial where everyone was given the opportunity to create their own toolbox with the help of a few crafty volunteers. The Jackie Robinson YMCA Center has done a wonderful job servicing the San Diego community once again. The amount of toys, experiences, and core memories shared this holiday season will stay with the youth for years to come.
