Just hours before a hearing was scheduled to begin at City Hall, reporters were herded into the press room and told an agreement had been reached that will pay reparations to victims who were tortured while in police custody under former Chicago Police Department detective and commander Jon Burge. The compensation package will include mental health treatment; free tuition to City Colleges of Chicago and job training; senior care services; health services; and partner with sister organizations to provide re-entry or transitional job programs. “We are gratified that after so many years of denial by many, that Mayor Emanuel has acknowledged the harm inflicted by the torture and recognized the needs of the Burge torture survivors and their families by negotiating this historic reparations PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA (second from right) met with (from l to r) Presidents of Sierra Leone, Ernest Bai agreement,” read a statement from Attor- Koroma; Liberia, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and Guinea, Alpha Condé about efforts to combat Ebola in western Africa.

addressed the critical need to improve the health outcomes of Black women. “The myriad forms of marginalization that we experience on a daily basis take a

Although white women had a higher incidence rate of breast cancer in 2011, Black women were more likely to die from it. The rate of new HIV infections among Black women in 2010 was 20 times that of white women. “Though anyone may experience stress, the stress that Black women experience is (Continued on page 3)

Mayor Emanuel expands mental health services New investments will provide targeted services for targeted populations including ex-offenders, the uninsured, and those ineligible for the Affordable Care Act Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced recently a $750,000 investment to increase mental health services for the City’s most vulnerable residents in partnership with community-based organizations. These new services would reach returning citizens from incarceration at Cook County Jail, the uninsured, and those ineligible for coverage under the Affordable Care Act. This investment is on top of other current investments made by the Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) intended to strengthen the overall mental health infrastructure with a focus on the uninsured, child victims of assault, the homeless and other vulnerable populations. “The City of Chicago is dedicated to ensuring access to quality mental health services for all residents,” said Mayor Emanuel. “By partnering with these community organizations, we can ensure that those most in need of services are getting the care they need most.” The $750,000 funding was made available through Mayor Emanuel’s 2015 budget, as approved by City Council, to address the community’s request for additional resources to serve these vulnerable populations. CDPH conducted a competitive selection process to select community organizations to partner with it to deliver the following services: Returning Residents – Thresholds received $250,000 to launch a new initiative in collaboration with the Cook County Sherriff ’s Office where Chicago residents released from Cook County Jail and in need of ongoing mental health services will be linked to a provider upon exiting for ongoing treatment and support services. Uninsured Residents – Five agencies received a total of $250,000 to provide psychiatry services to uninsured residents. These follow annual investments started in 2012 to increase access for uninsured residents and resulting in more than 12,000 additional visits for residents. The agencies receiving funding this year include Trilogy, Community Counseling Center of Chicago (C4), Human Resources Development Institute, Mount Sinai Hospital and Pilsen Little Village Community Mental Health Center. Residents Ineligible for Affordable Care Act Coverage – Awards will be invested to engage those hard-to-reach populations who often go without mental health ser2
vices. Thresholds has been awarded the first $125,000 to provide outreach to homeless populations, while the remaining $125,000 award will be allocated in the next couple of weeks to serve populations ineligible for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act expansion, including undocumented residents. “Many people struggling with mental illnesses are cycling in and out of the criminal justice system, homelessness, and hospitalization,” says Mark Ishaug, CEO of Thresholds. “By reaching out to people where they are, we can break this cycle and connect individuals to the treatment they need to stay out of jail and off the streets.” In addition to these awards, additional investments to provide mental health services to Chicago’s vulnerable population include the following: • This year, the Chicago Children’s Advocacy Center expanded a program to provide counseling services to child survivors of sexual assault and their family members. •The Crisis Response and Recovery program will immediately connect survivors of violence, including families and children, to assistance such as mental health services to minimize trauma and reduce further acts of violence. The program is funded for $2 million over a two-year period by the U.S. Department of Justice to support homicide survivors. • New Restorative Practice programs will use a $371,000 investment to focus on the social and emotional development of 1,700 elementary school youth and parents and teachers in the community by teaching valuable skills in building and repairing relationships. • Human Resources Development Instituted (HRDI) has been funded $100,000 to provide crisis response services to 180 residents experiencing mental health issues and interfacing with the members of the Chicago Police Department (CPD). HRDI is currently working with CPD on staff training and logistics. The City of Chicago remains committed to improving the mental health of the City. Over the last three years, CDPH has helped secure $14.2 million in new investments to increase treatment options in Chicago communities. Chicago Department of Public Health will continue to provide direct services to uninsured residents and partner with other providers to strengthen the mental health infrastructure in every community. The City’s ongoing reforms continue to improve access to mental health services in every community, especially among those most in need.

AFTER MONTHS OF protesting over funding cuts to mental health services some relief may come with the recent announcement by Mayor Rahm Emanuel of a $750,000 investment to increase services to the “most vulnerable residents.”
$5.5 million deal for Burge (Continued from page 1) ing. Ald. Joe Moreno (1st) said the city has “a moral and ethical duty to help these victims and their families.” Ald. Howard Brookins (21st) added it was time for the city to own up to its past. He said while Burge was fired as a cop over 20 years ago, his name is still synonymous with police misconduct and is a big reason why African Americans distrust police. “Jon Burge’s actions are a disgrace to Chicago, to the hard-working men and women of the police department, and most importantly to those he was sworn to protect,” said Mayor Rahm Emanuel. “Today, we stand together as a city to try and right those wrongs, and to bring this dark chapter of Chicago’s history to a close.” One of Burge’s victims who was prepared to testify in a hearing about his case was overwhelmed with emotion when he found out there was a settlement. Victims have said they live with the torture they suffered every day. In 1973, Anthony Holmes—another of Burge’s victims—said he was suffocated, in addition to being electrically shocked when he was taken in for questioning by Burge. At the time, Holmes was a street gang leader. He spent 30 years in prison after confessing to a murder and said his confession was coerced.
Jon Burge “How can you not say what they want you to say when you have electricity going through your body and you are being suffocated,” he said. Holmes was in Council chambers on Wednesday and received a standing ovation. His testimony is what eventually convicted Burge of perjury and obstruction of justice charges in 2010. Burge was never charged with torture, though, as too much time had passed between when those crimes had allegedly taken place. Holmes said he was grateful the city recognized its horrific past during the Burge era. He said he and the other victims were often treated as just “shadows in the dark.”
Blacks Must control their own coMMunity
Taylor said over 120 men were tortured by Burge and his band of detectives known as the “midnight crew.” The illegal practice began in 1972 and went until late 1991. The Burge settlement announcement came less than 24 hours before the City Council approved a $5 million settlement to the family of a Black teenager who was gunned down by a city police officer six months ago on the West Side. LaQuan McDonald was high on PCP and wielding a knife on Oct. 20, 2014. Police responding to a man trying to break into vehicles in the 4100 block of Kildare confronted McDonald, according to the city. McDonald continued to walk towards 40th and Pulaski with officers following him. At some point, additional officers arrived on the scene and McDonald was shot and killed. The family of McDonald, who had an extensive criminal record and was enrolled in an alternative school for troubled youth, was expected to file a suit asking for $15 million, according to Corporation Counsel Stephen Patton. He added it would be in the best interest of the city to settle the matter. Both federal and state investigations into the McDonald case are currently taking place. www.chicagocrusader.com

Olive-Harvey College to Celebrate 40 Years of Black Studies By J. Coyden Palmer Fifty years after Black students on college campuses across the nation protested for academic courses that told the history of Black Americans throughout the African Diaspora, Olive-Harvey College will celebrate the 40th anniversary of its Black Studies Department, one of only a handful at community colleges in the nation. The community college has hosted some of the brightest minds in Black academia over the past four decades including the likes of Henry Louis Gates, John Hope Franklin, Cornell West, Carol Adams and Maulana Karenga. On Wednesday, April 22 one of the first professors in the department Armstead Allen will be joined by former Professor Ismay Ashford and Dr. Wayne Tukes in discussing why Black Studies are still needed amongst other topics. For 30 years, Olive-Harvey hosted a Black Studies Conference, which was well attended and well-known around the world. The conference allowed Chicago area students and the public in general access to scholars and individuals who would not be nearly as accessible on a personal level. The conference from the very beginning was about identifying social problems in the Black community and offering solutions. During its peak, the conference would go on for several days and have nearly 100 guest speakers on topics such as health, education, economic em-
powerment, relationships, housing and many of today’s current issues. “We had the most outstanding Black minds in the country coming to our conference,” Allen told Crusader earlier this week. “It was stimulating because of the cross section of ideas that would come forth from the conference. It wasn’t your typical academic conference because we also put students on the panel and they would often challenge the guest panelists. You didn’t come in half-stepping.” The conference ended in 2007, but the African American Studies Department at Olive-Harvey continues, even after Allen retired a few years ago. Allen believes AAS still has a valid place in modern academia and is proud to see the number of AAS majors and graduates in colleges and universities around the nation. He said the AAS curriculum and presence is needed to show true American history. Allen said American democracy has never been fully applied to Black Americans so therefore the discipline plays a vital role in becoming a truly educated person of color and that the Black experience in America is what has pushed most of its political agenda. “If American Democracy was truly being meted out across the board than why fight for freedom in free America? One of our roles is to confront the social, political and economic issues that affect our lives and to clarify and interpret those trends that impact the Black community,”
Allen said. Even though America has come a long way in its racial relationships, Allen said the discipline of study is still needed because many of the issues Black people faced 40 years ago, they still are facing, even though the current President of the United States is Black. Allen said with the advancement in technology, the world is seeing what African Americans have been saying for years; they are treated differently than other races when they have encounters with law enforcement. Allen said some of his fondest memories at OHC involved seeing “the light go off” in his students’ heads when they were stimulated or learning something new about Black culture. He conservatively estimated
that over 8,000 people took at least one AAS course while they were at OHC. He said that is a tremendous impact because many of those students went on to earns degrees in the discipline at four-year universities. Some also became members of the academic community themselves and throughout the years came back to OHC to lecture or participate on panels. He is looking forward to reuniting with several former colleagues and students next week. He is also hoping to generate thought and dialogue on the future of the discipline, and the importance of knowing your own history. “I’m concerned that a place like Chicago State University no longer has an African American Studies De-
partment although they still have a program,” Allen said. “We are seeing this new trend where colleges and universities are trying to merge African American Studies into other disciplines like social science and history. Black people locked themselves in school classrooms and were indicted back in the 1960’s and 70’s to have these courses added to the curriculum. We owe it to them to preserve their sacrifice and preserve the teachings of the history of African American contributions to this country and the world in general.” The celebration at Olive-Harvey is scheduled to begin on April 22nd at 2 p.m. and end about 7 p.m. It is free and open to all members of the public.
Racism and Stress Killing Black Women (Continued from page 1) different. It’s constant, it’s cumulative, it’s often lifelong, and it’s often invisible,” said Janine Jackson, the program director of Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR), a national media watchdog group. Admitting that Black women “are not okay” is not a source of shame, said Jackson, “It’s a cause for intervention.” Amani Nuru-Jeter, associate professor of epidemiology, community health and human development of the School of Public Health at the University of California-Berkeley, said that the notion that Black women are so resilient and that they can handle everything thrown their way is incredibly harmful, because that myth comes at great cost. “And that cost is the slow deterioration of our bodies,” said Nuru-Jeter. “One of the unique aspects of Black women’s stress experiences has to do with the caretaker role they take on.” In focus groups, Black women were more likely to report higher levels of social network distress, a form psychological distress, that was a result of the stress experiences of family and close friends, than their male counterparts. That lifestyle requires constant psywww.chicagocrusader.com
chological and biological adaption to stress and learned responses to chronic stress constantly erode the ability for Black women to cope mentally and for their bodies to function normally. Nuru-Jeter said that even bracing for the stress associated with microaggressions or “everyday racism” is enough to activate the physiological “flight or fight” response in the body that can lead to chronic inflammation over time. “This slow deterioration may not be captured in a typical clinical encounter, because doctors are not measuring our stress hormones or the level of inflammation in our bodies,” said Nuru-Jeter. “So often this sub-optimal functioning goes unnoticed until it becomes a chronic disease, such as the diseases we see Black women suffering from the most, like diabetes, cardiovascular disease and hypertension.” According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), nearly 60 percent of Black women over 20 years old are obese compared to roughly 34 percent of white women and nearly 45 percent of Black women suffer hypertension compared to 33.5 percent of white women. A 2011 CDC report on health dis-
parities said that 37.9 percent of Black women died of coronary heart disease before the age of 75 compared to 19.4 percent of white women. Black women were also more than twice as likely to die from strokes before the age of 75 (39 percent) than white women (17.3 percent). Ladonna Redmond, the cofounder of Campaign for Food Justice Now, a membership-based group that uses race, class, and gender to address injustices in the food and agricultural industries, said that when you live in a community where many of the food options are loaded with sugar, fat or salt, those public health

outcomes are likely to reflect the consumption of those products. Not only do Black women have to develop solutions that address the systems of injustice, they are also forced to navigate a landscape where health care providers often deliver services under the influence of unconscious bias. Nuru-Jeter cited a study by researchers at Georgetown University who interviewed more than 700 physicians and reported that in a mock setting, the doctors referred Black women to heart specialists for cardiac catheterization only 40 percent of the time when compared to referrals for white males with the same symptoms. In a 2012 report published in the American Journal of Public Health, researchers said that although racial bias may not be overt, it can still have negative effects. In that study, most of the patients surveyed were middleaged women and 80 percent were Black. Nearly two-thirds of the physicians were women, almost half of them were white. A press release about the report from “Medical News Today” stated that, “Primary care physicians who hold unconscious racial biases tend to dominate conversations with AfricanAmerican patients during routine vis-
its, paying less attention to patients’ social and emotional needs and making these patients feel less involved in decision making related to their health, Johns Hopkins researchers report. The patients also reported reduced trust in their doctors, less respectful treatment and a lower likelihood of recommending the biased doctor to a friend.” The press release said that the findings reinforced the idea that there may be a link between racial biases and stereotypes playing out in the doctor-patient relationship and the racial disparities in the United States. Lorece Edwards, director of community practice and outreach health, associate professor in Department of Behavioral Health Sciences at School of Community Health and Policy Morgan State University in Baltimore said, “Moving forward, physicians’ attitudes and investments in patient relationships and communication play a major and central role for poorer health outcomes of African Americans.” Quality of care within the health care system is a big issue and just having health insurance is not enough, said Nuru-Jeter, adding that, “[Black women] want access to the same quality of care across the board.”

EDITORIAL
EDITORIAL RACE WAR IN AMERICA? It has been almost 70 years since the atrocities wrought on the world by Nazi Germany. More than 6 million Jews and a number of others lost their lives as a result of a hate campaign created by the National Socialists (Nazis) during the Hitler regime. The Jews were the chief targets of animosities, but other so-called “undesirables” were also caught up. There are people alive today who experienced what has become known as the holocaust and who can provide testimony of its existence, in spite of that, we actually have holocaust deniers who claim that it never happened. Before that, in America, there was another holocaust so to speak. Millions of Black people lost their lives during the Middle Passage on the way to these shores, and many have lost lives since that time due to systematic oppression and institutional racism. Not too long ago, it was okay for Black people to be treated in an incredibly horrible manner. They were branded with hot irons like cattle, bought and sold on the auction block, and were routinely mutilated by slave owners who thought of them as less than human. And we must not forget that before slavery, Europeans came to the North American continent and raped, destroyed and imprisoned its indigenous people — those who have become known as “Native Americans,” though they were initially called “Indians” because the explorers who landed here made the mistake of thinking that they had found India. It has been said that the settlers/colonists used guile, intentionally spread disease and dishonored treaties with the Native Americans who were eventually confined to what are called “Reservations.” There is, therefore, an ongoing history of hatred coupled with genocide or attempted genocide. It has been said that a people must be dehumanized as a prerequisite for maltreatment. Black slaves were dehumanized as were the Jews during World War II and “savage” Native Americans during colonial times. Today the seeds of hatred and dehumanization are being sown again by the blatant disregard for Black life that is surfacing from a number of disaffected whites and the murders of Black people, especially Black men, by the white establishment. The cases have been so extreme that a whole movement has been created, the Black Lives Matter movement. Yet, white policemen are literally continuing to get away with murder. Even when evidence is caught on video, the chances seem to always go in favor of the policemen. The Rodney King beat down was a travesty; we can also talk about Michael Brown murdered in Ferguson, Missouri; Eric Garner choked to death in New York City; John Crawford gunned down while holding a toy gun inside of an Ohio Wal-Mart; and Walter Scott shot in the back multiple times as he ran away from a South Carolina cop. At least in this last case, the officer was fired from his job and has been charged with murder. But the hate goes on evidenced by allegations that a white Tulsa, Oklahoma officer allegedly uttered “F*ck your breath!” to an unarmed, dying Black man. These cases, prominent in the media, are evidence of escalating hatred between the races and the dehumanization of Blacks. If that were not the case, we wouldn’t need a Black Lives Matter movement. Some Black people and some white people are getting angrier and angrier. A trigger, according to certain pundits, is a backlash resulting from the fact that a Black man has ascended to the presidency of the United States. (The fact that he was elected, however, says that there are some reasonable white people in the U.S.). If the trend of escalating hatred continues, a race war just might ensue, and if one actually occurs, EVERYONE, Blacks and whites alike, stand to lose. The PATRIOT Act, born out of the ashes of the 911 attacks in New York, gives the government power to trample on the rights of citizens in the event of civil unrest. We don’t need to go down that road. What we need is more people like the incredibly compassionate mother of Walter Scott who said, in so many words, that she forgave the officer who killed her son and would pray for his family. Now that’s revolutionary; that’s what we need - love! A luta continua.
Just over three years ago the Black community across the country was in an uproar because Trayvon Martin had been murdered by an overzealous neighborhood watch volunteer. Young Trayvon was shot to death. He had no gun. Last week an unarmed Black man in South Carolina was shown being shot in the back while running away from police. There was no confrontation, no threat, just a man apparently afraid of having to go to jail again. This case turned out so far, better than most. The cop was kicked off the police department and charged with murder. Yes being convicted is another matter. If it seems like every week we read more about a cop killing a Black person, it is not your imagination. Cops have been on a killing spree for a long time. About 420 Black folks per year died in some arrest-related situation between 2003 and 2009. That is from a report by the U.S. Department of Justice. The cops keep getting away with it, using that lame line “I feared for my life.” Given that these cops are

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR It is still open season on Black males Dear Editor:
murdering Black people in all parts of the country, the end doesn’t seem to be in sight. The tragedy with the current situation is Black folks are gonna get fed up and start shooting back. Then we have a full-blown yet unnecessary urban war. Add to that the cuts the Illinois governor is making to all sorts of programs that assist Black people, and the situation just gets hotter. I would like to believe I am wrong, but I don’t believe I am. This summer could be a very, very hot one. Henry Preeby
Should I be surprised? Dear Editor: Maybe I shouldn’t be but I am really surprised at the number of Black people who really believe that Rahm Emanuel is going to change and suddenly be a friend of the Black community. I am hearing these people talk about getting city contracts and jobs and appointments to boards and commissions. It just doesn’t make any sense. Black people voted for Rahm Emanuel for mayor over Gery Chico and all we got was a pat on the head. This time Black folks
(not me) voted for him over Chuy Garcia, and we are expecting something different. That is just wrong-minded thinking. See, Black people gave Emanuel their votes and can’t really ask for anything in return. The way it has always worked is when Black people start asking white people for something, then a whole oth(Continued on page 16)

COMMENTARY
Save the EB-5 Visa Beyond the Rhetoric By Harry C. Alford NNPA Columnist The EB-5 Visa program has been in the news lately because of the alleged manipulation of the program by members of the “Clinton Gang.” Among a list of alleged things coming out of this group was a system to pay money to Hillary’s brother, Tony, (she has two in this gang) to have an EB-5 visa approval expedited by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The process usually takes more than two years but this time it was speeded up by many months. The funding generated by the investment for the visa was then directed to “gang” member Terry McAuliffe (now governor of Virginia) for his electric car venture. Tony got paid; Terry got funded and the electric car venture went south with a “bullet.” The principal at Homeland Security who allowed this—happens to be a former California prosecutor who worked with the Clinton gang in getting a convicted cocaine dealer a presidential pardon from President Clinton. It appears that Tony got $200,000 from the grateful drug dealer. The above will soon come to total light. But let’s focus in on the importance of the EB-5 Visa. What makes it so valuable? It is a way of generat-
Harry C. Alford ing great sums of investment money for infrastructure projects and new ventures. Also, it produces U.S. jobs for communities that need them. Wikipedia has the best description of how the program works: “The EB-5 visa provides a method of obtaining a green card for foreign nationals who invest money in the United States. To obtain the visa, individuals must invest $1,000,000 (or at least $500,000 in a Targeted Employment Area–high unemployment or rural area), creating or preserving at least 10 jobs for U.S. workers excluding the investor and their immediate family. Initially, under the first EB-5 program, the foreign investor
was required to create an entirely new commercial enterprise; however, under the pilot program investments can be made directly in a jobgenerating commercial enterprise (new, or existing – “Troubled Business”), or into a “Regional Center” – a 3rd party-managed investment vehicle (private or public), which assumes the responsibility of creating the requisite jobs. Regional Centers may charge an administration fee for managing the investor’s investment.” This program is doing wonders for areas who have mastered the process. The Regional Center in Washington, D.C. has brought in billions of dollars from a group of investors from Shanghai, China. It started with one investor and through his business associates there are dozens participating. The Shaw District, City Center projects among others are successes because of this program. The Chinese individuals who invested? Their entire immediate family members have Green Cards now and travel through the United States like you and I do. Keep in mind that they will also get a return on their investments. The most notable in the nation is the Regional Center of Las Vegas. Some successful Las Vegas projects are: Downtown Grand, SLS (Sa-
hara), Lucky Dragon, Dynasty Hotel Casino, Clarion Hotel and World Resorts. Homeland Security is processing about 9,000 applications per year now and cities are starting to understand this profitable game. The U.S. Conference of Mayors held a conference about the program (in Las Vegas of course). We hope our Black mayors will catch on to this opportunity. The research management firm, Minnesota IMPLAN Group, did a study for the years 2010–2011. EB-5 spending in 2010–11 supported 28,000 jobs; contributed $2.2 billion to the US gross domestic product (GDP); accounted for $346,790,317 in federal taxes; $218,437,866 in state and local taxes. Twenty-four states took advantage of the program, including California, Florida, Michigan and Texas. EB-5 spending supports jobs in the following industries: Dairy, electric power and natural gas, construction, wineries, commercial, retail, transportation, warehousing and storage, motion picture and video, real estate, home healthcare, hospitals, amusement parks, hotels, food services and student housing. The process takes more than two years (unless you belong to the “Clinton Gang). There will be screening by the FBI, CIA and other agencies
to ensure that all participants are squeaky-clean (unless you belong to the “Clinton Gang”). Remember, any foreigner in the world can apply with an American sponsor. As the Dodd-Frank ruling hurts the potential for maximum traditional bank investing, we can use this to offset the decrease. The National Black Chamber of Commerce is going to promote this for our blighted Black communities. We are in the beginning stages of developing a prototype. The first two markets will be the San Francisco Bay Area and New Orleans. We see investors coming from all continents in the world. We envision projects bringing wealth to our entrepreneurs and vast jobs for our people. But first we must ensure that the program will become permanent. If Congress does not make it permanent by September, it will go away. We hope that your congressional members will support HR 616 by Representative Amodei (R–NV) which will make the program last forever. Mr. Alford is the co-founder, President/CEO of the National Black Chamber of Commerce®. Website: www.nationalbcc.org Email: halford@nationalbcc.org.
Controversy Over Videotaping Cops By George E. Curry NNPA Columnist Feidin Santana, the young Dominican immigrant who videotaped North Charleston, S.C. police officer Michael Slager firing his gun eight times, killing Walter Scott, an unarmed Black man who was fleeing, was a hero. His quick decision to videotape the unfolding action on his telephone led to the arrest of Slager for murder. However, in some states, instead of being hailed as a hero, Santana would be the one behind bars. Illinois, Maryland and Massachusetts have used their wiretapping laws to prevent videotaping police in public places. Some states are moving in that direction. But, as we can now see, videotape can be a game changer. This was vividly illustrated in 1991 with the brutal beating of Rodney King in Los Angeles. More recently, the July 17 choking death of Eric Garner in New York City was captured on video as he pleaded, “I can’t breathe.” Thanks to a passerby, we also saw the July 1 video of a California Highway Patrol Officer Daniel Andrew straddling Marlene Pinnock, a 51-year old Black woman near a Santa Monica freeway and punching her 10-15 times. She reached an out-of-court settlement that rewww.chicagocrusader.com
George E. Curry quired a $1.5 million payment and the resignation of Andrew. Although no one can creditably deny the value of citizens being able to videotape on-duty police officers operating in public spaces, courts are sharply divided on whether that’s protected under the First Amendment. In an article titled, “The Legal Right to Videotape Police Isn’t Actually All That Clear,” the Atlantic Citylab noted, “… The truth is that courts have not uniformly recognized that a right to record police actually exists. Though the U.S. Department of Justice has expressed its support for the right to record, only four federal appeals courts have ruled that such a right exists; others have ei-
ther not ruled at all or narrowly rules that no right had been ‘clearly established.’” I am not a lawyer and I don’t play one on TV. But the best available legal advice seems to be that generally speaking, it’s legal under the First Amendment to videotape on-duty police officers as long as it is on public property and you are not interfering with them performing their official duties. As noted above, some state laws ban such recordings. One legal site, findlaw.com, recommends that you: Tell police you are recording them; Comply with their requests to step back or identify yourself; Keep your camera out of the way (low and close to your body); and If need be, calmly remind them of your right to film them. Another site, reasons.com, lists seven rules for recording police, including knowing your state’s law and passcode protecting your cellphone. Given recent success, you can expect police unions around the nation to push for legislation that would bar citizens from videotaping such incidents involving police. Even before the recent spree of police killing African Americans, there was strong resistance. A woman in Rochester, N.Y., for example, was arrested and charged with obstructing governmental ad-
Blacks Must control their own coMMunity
ministration in 2011 after videotaping three White police officers interrogating a Black man from her front yard. Charges were later dropped against the woman, Emily Good, 28. What would have happened to Officer Slager in South Carolina had there been no videotape? In a word –nothing. In fact, the officer had radioed, “Shots fired… Subject is down. He grabbed my Taser,” a charge not supported by the videotape. Instead, what we see in the video is Slager dropping the Taser near Scott’s motionless body. The cover-up was underway before Scott’s body could be moved to the morgue. The local newspaper reported the next day: “A statement released by North Charleston police spokesman Spencer Pryor said a man ran on foot from the traffic stop and an officer deployed his department-issued Taser in an attempt to stop him. “That did not work, police said, and an altercation ensued as the men struggled over the device. Police allege that during the struggle the man gained control of the Taser and attempted to use it against the officer. “The officer then resorted to his service weapon and shot him, police alleged.”
Of course, that was a lie. According to the Washington Post, Victoria Middleton, executive director for the ACLU of South Carolina, said: “…I think one of the concerns that immediately comes to mind is the discrepancy between the initial story, the kind of rush to judgment, the rush to say that procedures were followed and this was justified, and then when the video surfaced that quickly unraveled. That could raise concerns about other incidents in which we have been assured that nothing was out of order and the officer acted completely properly but there were no witnesses or video documentation to dispute that.” And that’s why we must resist all efforts to prevent citizens from freely videotaping police while they are supposedly acting in a lawful manner.

COMMENTARY
THE AMERICAN DYNAMIC AND NATIONALISM Dr. Conrad Worrill, Director/Professor, Carruthers Center for Inner City Studies (CCICS) located at 700 East Oak- wood Blvd, Chicago, Illinois, 60653, 773-268-7500, Fax: 773-268-3835. E-mail: c-worrill@neiu.edu, Website: www. ccics-chicago.org, Twitter: @CCICS_Chicago
Dr. Conrad Worrill
In order for the African Community in America to continue our fight for self-determination and dignity, it is important that we remind ourselves of the nature of the American dynamic. Essentially, and at the foundation of the American-European dynamic, is the fact that it is made up of many nations who migrated to this country and continued to fight for and develop their national interests, inside this country. At the same time they maintained their economic, political, cultural, linguistic, and social relationships with their country of origin. We can witness this phenomenon on a daily basis by just taking a quick glance at the national/ethnic group practices and beliefs of the Jews, Poles, Irish, Italians, Germans, Swedes, Greeks, French, Slovakians, Czechs, etc., and how they have consolidated their political and economic power in America. They have all done this through their nationalistic unity on the fundamental life giving and life sustaining issues that affect their interests. In other words, they have maintained a strong sense of where they came from, who they are, and where they are going. This formula has been at the heart of their historical efforts to acquire
power in America. We can observe this same trend among the Chinese, Koreans, Filipinos, Vietnamese, Lebanese, Jordanians, and Palestinians who are the new national/ethnic groups of America. In fact, the Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, and other Spanish-speaking national/ethnic groups are following this same pattern. They are fighting for nationalism in America, without calling it that. When African people in America talk about nationalism, we are often charged with being racists or anti-white. However, the historical record demonstrates clearly that nationalism has been the primary method by which every national/ethnic group has achieved and maintains power. Harold Cruse describes this dilemma of the African Community in America, in his most profound analysis of our movement, in his book The Crisis of the Negro Intellectual. Cruse framed the American dynamic in this manner when he said, “On the face of it, this dilemma rests on the fact that America, which idealizes the rights of the individual above everything else, in reality, a nation dominated by the social powers of groups, classes, ingroups and cliques both ethnic
and religious.” He goes further to explain, “The individual in America has few rights that are not backed up by the political, economic and social power of one group or another.” Therefore, Cruse states, “… the individual [Black person] has, proportionately, very few rights indeed because his ethnic group (whether or not he actually identifies with it) has very little political, economic or social power (beyond moral grounds) to wield.” In our efforts to acquire Black Power, we should remind ourselves that the Black Nationalist Tradition has always been opposed to integration, assimilation, and accommodation as a solution to the problems of people of African ancestry in America. In this regard, the Black Nationalist Tradition has rejected the strategies and tactics of appealing to the morality of white people and their white supremacy system. Black Nationalists have been historically clear that people in power do not teach powerless people how to get power. And they certainly do not give power away, even though, when challenged, they may make some concessions.
It is so clear that every national/ethnic group understands their political, economic, and cultural interest. It is so natural for them to function in a nationalistic manner in their struggle to acquire and maintain power. The African Community in America has not fully conceptualized and reached a consensus on our nationalistic agenda. Many of us function as if we are scared of really acting out what we really know, for fear of being called racist. We need to stop denying our own reality. Being called racist because we believe in, and will fight for, the interests of our race with undying loyalty should become the most honorable badge of courage in our community. We should get off of this defensive “trip” when we fight for the interests of our race and some other national/ethnic group calls us racist. We should know by now, this is a tactic to sway us away from the path of acquiring power. Let’s continue our movement “to assert our own identity, define our own purpose, to make and enforce decisions and to move into our own national interest.” It is called nationalism!
Should African Americans Endorse Whites over Blacks? By Julianne Malveaux NNPA Columnist Two prominent Black Maryland officials – Montgomery County Executive Isiah Leggett and Prince George’s County Executive Rushern L. Baker III – have endorsed Congressman Chris Van Hollen, a white, over Black Congresswoman Donna F. Edwards in the race to replace retiring Maryland Senator Barbara Mikulski. So far, Edwards is the only African American in the race and faces the prospect of joining California Attorney General Kamala Harris, an announced candidate for the California Senate seat that will be vacated by Senator Barbara Boxer. Another African American, Rep. Elijah E. Cummings of Baltimore, is considering running for the seat that will become vacant in 2017 when Mikulski retires. This may seem like a local story, but it has national implications. Both Edwards and Van Hollen are likely to seek contributions from all over the country. Furthermore, the possibility of having an African American woman in the Senate is 6
an opportunity for African American women’s issues to be raised on the Senate floor. Finally, Edwards’ presence on committees dealing with work, health care, and banking will bring a much-needed perspective to a Senate that is 96 percent white. With an African American female Senator, would Loretta Lynch’s confirmation for U.S. Attorney General still be languishing? Or, would Edwards remind fellow senators that their treatment of African American women has hardly been fair? Senator Edwards might also raise issues that impact all women, but African American women especially, given the fact that we have lower incomes, and a higher rate of single motherhood. African American women have also been the targets of disparaging remarks about public assistance and food stamps, as if no Caucasians participate in these programs. An African American woman senator would likely raise objections and stop senatorial trash talk about African American women in its tracks. Why, then, have the highest-ranking elective officers at the county

Dr. Julianne Malveaux level in Maryland, both African American men, chosen the Caucasian Van Hollen over Edwards? And if they don’t like Edwards for the post, why couldn’t they wait until Cummings decides whether to run? Baker, who served with Van Hollen in the Maryland General Assembly during the 1990s, says he knows Van Hollen and has worked well with him. He says he has made this endorsement “in the interest of
the county.” It has nothing to do with race, he says, but everything to do with familiarity. In his endorsement, Leggett said, “As we look ahead to build a strong Maryland, we need a proven leader like Congressman Chris Van Hollen, whose reputation for leadership, deep intellect and courage is unrivaled. His swift rise through the ranks in the U.S. House of Representatives attests to the respect and esteem he commands from his colleagues, and from other leaders around this country.” Neither Baker nor Leggett has explained what makes Van Hollen a better candidate than Edwards. I won’t speculate about whether their choice has something more to do with gender than politics, but I do think their actions raises national questions about race and endorsements. When all else is equal, I choose to vote for the African American candidate instead of the Caucasian one. The truth is both Edwards and Van Hollen are likely to vote much the way that the liberal Barbara Mikulski did. However, I expect that Edwards will be far more ag-

gressive in advocating for the African American community than Van Hollen. Further, in light of the recent killing of Walter Scott in South Carolina, Eric Gardner in New York and Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., among others, it seems specious to say that race doesn’t matter. In light of the doubledigit unemployment rates African Americans experience (twice those of whites), race still matters and the need to target employment programs have not been raised in this Senate, even when Democrats held it. Edwards would be forceful in pushing these programs. Baker especially owes his county an explanation both because it is majority African American (65 percent) and also because his county was critical in electing Edwards to Congress four times. There has been a blurring of racial lines in our nation and in politics. Increasing numbers of Americans are biracial or multiracial, and identify with every aspect of their background. Many choose to check the “biracial” on (Continued on page 7) www.chicagocrusader.com

And the reason was: he didn’t want to show any favoritism toward the darker hue. Well, it sure will be a relief to be from Chicago, Black and not gay to know that we might get a

There was a loud cheer heard in the Black community when Hillary Clinton announced her run for the 2016 presidency.

Will the Senate advise and consent on the Loretta Lynch nomination? By Charlene Crowell NNPA Columnist It is ironic that during April’s annual observance of Fair Housing Month, the U.S. Senate has yet to schedule a vote on the nomination of the first Black woman to become the nation’s Attorney General. Nominated on November 14, 2014, the nomination of Loretta Lynch has lingered longer than the seven previous Attorneys General combined. The delay is even more disturbing by noting that Ms. Lynch was previously and unanimously approved by the Senate –twice– to serve as the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York. Representing the interests of eight million people residing in Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island and Long Island, Ms. Lynch won a number of Wall Street financial fraud cases. That kind of leadership and experience would rightfully continue the fight for fair housing and put a stop to predatory lending. As with any organization, the tone is set at the top. At the Department of Justice, the successor to outgoing Attorney General Eric Holder will determine whether aggressive enforcement of laws designed to provide equal access
to housing and credit will be sustained. In 2015, 47 years since passage of the Fair Housing Act, DOJ’s actions prove we are still seeking justice in housing – especially in instances where consumers of color have been denied fair and equal treatment under the law. Since 2010, according to Vanita Gupta, Acting Assistant Attorney General, DOJ’s Civil Rights Division has reached settlements in 18 lawsuits charging discrimination in mortgage lending, pricing discrimination, racial steering and redlining affecting both large and small numbers of consumers. These cases have been as large as the $335 million settlement with Countrywide that brought a measure of justice for 200,000 borrowers who were targets of discrimination and shared $335 million in relief. Wells Fargo, one of the nation’s largest banks, paid over $184 million to thousands of victims of steering and pricing. Other actions have affected far fewer; but still led to victim compensation. Eight Brooklyn families who were sold homes at inflated prices by a developer, United Homes, shared a $1 million settlement. In addition, HUD officials advise
Charlene Crowell that in FY 2014, its Fair Housing Assistance Program partner agencies received 8,468 complaints alleging discrimination based on one or more of the Fair Housing Act’s seven protected classes: race, color, national origin, religion, gender, family status, and disability. Enforcement actions resulted in a total of almost $33 million in compensation for victims and victims’ funds. The two top reasons cited in these complaints were disability and race.
The combined fair housing efforts of DOJ and HUD have forced substantial settlements for those who have violated the law. Even so, more housing litigation is pending. For example, in November 2014 the National Fair Housing Alliance, a consortium of more than 220 private, nonprofit fair housing organizations throughout the nation, expanded a racial discrimination complaint filed against U.S. Bank. The original lawsuit, filed in 2012, alleged multiple fair housing violations in the neglect of bank-owned foreclosures in communities of color. The amended complaint now adds the cities of Cleveland, Columbus, Grand Rapids, Kansas City, Minneapolis, and Muskegon to those already filed for Atlanta, Baltimore, Denver, Dallas, Miami-Ft. Lauderdale, Memphis, Milwaukee and other locales. With these and other housing issues, it is inexcusable for the Senate to delay a floor vote on the Lynch nomination. The upper chamber has a constitutional duty to ‘advise and consent’. Fortunately, a few members of the majority have indicated their commitment to vote for the delayed nominee. On February 26, the day that the
Senate Judiciary Committee voted on the Lynch nomination, its former chair and longest-serving member, Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah said, “The case against her nomination, as far as I can tell, essentially ignores her professional career and focuses solely on about six hours that she spent before this committee on January 28. I do not believe that is a proper way to evaluate any nominee’s fitness for any position.” Mike Calhoun, president of the Center for Responsible Lending agreed adding, “Lynch has impeccable credentials, distinguished experience, and her values have shown she is committed to independent and fair application and enforcement of our laws, and in particular, protecting working American families from economic and consumer violations of our protections. It’s time for this to end and for this extraordinary candidate to be confirmed.” Ms. Lynch and the nation are waiting – still.

Ji Suk is the social media contributor and resident foodie on “Windy City LIVE.” Since the inception of Village Leadership Academy’s World Scholars Program in 2010, students as young as third grade have traveled to the Dominican Republic, South Africa, Mexico, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Brazil serving as student ambassadors – experiencing culture, volunteering time, creating global awareness, collaborating on solutions to common problems, making international friendships, and most importantly, honing their
leadership skills. Following a yearlong academic and extracurricular exploration of history and culture, VLA students will travel to Panama in May. “The World Scholars Program gala honors and celebrates our commitment to social justice, advocacy, and global leadership development of our students,” says VLA principal and co-founder Nakisha Hobbs. Training youth for global citizenship is par for the course at the independent elementary school, which has two campuses – one in Chicago’s historic River City at 800 S. Wells and a newly opened site in the University Medical District at 1001 W. Roosevelt Road.

Summer jobs develop work skills and give young people contact with professionals who can serve as role models. The young people attending were eager to work and highly capable. I’m hopeful they were able to find jobs or internship opportunities,” Kelly said. Congresswoman Kelly hosts youth job fairs each spring to provide an opportunity for young people to apply for summer jobs and find resources for future employment and work skill development.

ACCESS and CSU team up for Pharm.D. program With similar missions to impact the health and wellness of our most diverse, underserved communities, Access Community Health Network (ACCESS) and Chicago State University (CSU) are collaborating on a new Pharm.D. Experiential education program that trains tomorrow’s pharmacists to work in three of ACCESS’ community-based health centers. As one of the nation’s largest networks of federally-qualified health centers (FQHCs), ACCESS is always looking for new ways to impact the health and welfare of the communities it serves. As CSU’s College of Pharmacy (COP) is the most diverse college of pharmacy in the state of Illinois, ACCESS and CSU are both strongly invested in tackling some of the ethnic and racial disparities that exist within these communities. Dolores Nobles-Knight, Pharm.D., MPH, Associate Professor and Chair, Department of Pharmacy Practice at Chicago State University, is clear on the value the program can bring. “Our program is progressive. We feel that pharmacists should be an integral part of community health care. For too long, pharmacists have been an afterthought.” ACCESS’ Chief Executive Offi-
College of Pharmacy at CSU, is proud of how the school has shaped the program with its strong mission. And the program has already won accolades with four students earning Schweitzer Fellowships in recent years. “It is not only about speaking to the mission but also being committed to performing it daily. It is important that we improve the health and well-being of the community as well as educate community members to be selfempowering,” Dr. Mobley Smith said. But patients aren’t the only ones being empowered. “We want our students to feel ownership with working in the communities.” Heather Fields, Pharm.D., MPH, Assistant Clinical Professor at the College of Pharmacy, has worked with FQHCs before, and she and the students believe that the partnership with ACCESS goes well beyond helping Pharm.D. students fulfill their academic requirements. “My passion is working with patients from minority and underserved backgrounds, and my experience has taught me that this patient population is often dealing with a variety of com-

American Theater Company announces casting for ‘The Project(s)’ A documentary play on Chicago’s public housing from the writer of “columbinus” American Theater Company (ATC) announced casting for the third world premiere in its 30th anniversary season: “The Project(s),” a documentary play about the history of public housing in Chicago, April 24-May 24, 2015. Conceived, co-written and directed by ATC Artistic Director PJ Paparelli and co-written by Joshua Jaeger, “The Project(s)” ensemble cast includes Linda Bright Clay, Stephen Conrad Moore, Omar Evans, Kenn E. Head, Joslyn Jones, Penelope Walker, Anji White and Eunice Woods. Single tickets for “The Project(s)” range from $38$48 and are now on sale at the ATC box office at 773-409-4125 or www.atcweb.org. “The Project(s)” innovatively combines documentary theater with a cappella music, body percussion and stepping to create a provocative examination of the successes and failures of public housing that poses the question, “What is America’s responsibility to its poor?” From 2010 until 2014, Paparelli conducted over 100 interviews with scholars, historians, and former and current residents of Chicago’s public housing, including Cabrini-Green, Robert Taylor Homes, Wentworth Gardens and Ida B. Wells Homes.
“The Project(s)” interweaves verbatim material with a cappella music, body percussion, and stepping with choreography by Jakari Sherman, artistic director of Washington, DC-based Step Afrika!, the nation’s only professional dance company devoted to stepping. Paparelli previously conceived, co-wrote and directed the critically-acclaimed documentary play “columbinus” that premiered its third act at ATC, toured to ArtsEmerson in Boston in 2013, and has been produced around the country and internationally. “The Project(s)” received two development opportunities at the Orchard Project, a national new play development retreat in New York; a Jentel Artist Residency in Wyoming, and a MacArthur International Connections Fund grant, through which Paparelli travelled to the United Kingdom to workshop the play at Citizens Theatre in Glasgow and the Lyric Hammersmith in London, in addition to interviewing public housing residents and city officials in Scotland. ATC also partnered with Howard University in Washington, DC, for a five-week workshop integrating stepping and body percussion. Performance schedule for “The Project(s)” previews Friday, April 24 at 8 p.m.; Saturday, April 25 at 8 p.m.; Sunday, April 26 at 2 p.m. The regular run begins April 30

SPIRITUALLY SPEAKING
A Moment to Super Size Your Thinking This is not a dress rehearsal— this is it! You have got to give it all you got for tomorrow isn’t promised. A great bible verse to support this is “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom,” Ecclesiastes 9:10. It’s very important to remember that tomorrow is not guaranteed. So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” (1 Corinthians 10:31) Moreover, give your all. The talents and gifts that God has given to you is, to give Him glory as well as bless you and impact the world. You never know. Enjoy life. Remember that life is made of moments. Unfortunately, there are sure to be bumps and
potholes on your road to your destination, but keep moving with a smile. Every breath you take and every move you make is a gift from God. When life is over—that’s it. I would like to refer to a quote that I often use—live like there is no tomorrow. Why, because in life there are no guarantees? Also, when we live like there is no tomorrow—we ultimately become less detached and realize nothing is permanent. Everything that we see is temporary including your life and mine. Thus, you, me, the world and all around us is constantly changing. In light of this, it’s vital that we let go of the past, our mission should be to forge into newness of life and possibilities. I’m not implying to forget all of your past, but rather don’t be stuck there. There is more to life than past experiences—regardless
Effie Rolfe
of how great the accomplishments. There’s always more to do to make an impact and affect the kingdom of God. Plus, you can’t move forward looking in the rearview mirror. I believe if we practiced living like there is no tomorrow—we would find it easier to forgive, not hold grudges, say goodbye to a loved one that transitioned or to a career or relationship that needed shifting. I’m not saying it will be easy—but when you understand nothing is permanent and trust God, life adjustments should be a lot easier. Your life if not your own and your purpose is much bigger than you could ever imagine. Immediately, the scripture comes to mind “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself…” (Matt 6:34).
The next 10 minutes of your life is not promised—the next 5 hours—2 days or even the next breath cannot be guaranteed. Right now is all you have—so learn to enjoy and take full advantage of this moment. Live every moment. Not recklessly, but with praise and purpose. Seize each opportunity you have right now. When it comes to life on earth— this is it. Are you giving life your all…? ©Effie Rolfe is an Author of “Supersize Your Thinking,” Media Personality and Motivational Speaker.

Chicago Bears start offseason workout program Excited about the Bears’ voluntary offseason program kicking off Monday morning, April 13 at Halas Hall, guard Kyle Long experienced some insomnia Sunday night. “I couldn’t sleep,” Long said. “I was up at one, two, three, four a.m. [wondering], ‘Is it time yet? Is it time to go in?’ And that’s kind of the vibe. Everybody’s pumped. It’s a fresh start, a clean slate.” The clean slate comes in conjunction with the arrival of first-year coach John Fox and a new staff that’s determined to help the Bears rebound from last year’s disappointing 5-11 season. “It’s been a long offseason,” said safety Ryan Mundy. “We’ve had an opportunity to get away and do things outside of football. But now it’s time to go back to work. We have new teammates, we have a new coaching staff, we have new faces in the building, and it’s a positive vibe and I’m really excited to get to know everyone and get back to work.” Splitting into offense and defense Monday, Bears players worked on strength and conditioning in the weight room and met with coaches in classrooms. “Everybody was excited to see what Day 1 was going to be like and it went pretty smoothly,” Long said. “I
think there are going to be a lot of things that are going to be different around here in terms of our offense. What that is I don’t know yet. We haven’t gotten into that. I just know I’m trying to get better. All the guys around me are trying to get better and that’s a good thing.” Bears players brought a lot of energy and enthusiasm to Monday’s workout. “It’s almost like the first day of school,” Mundy said. “You haven’t seen your friends, your buddies, in a long time. You had a long summer break. But now it’s time to get back to work so everybody’s really excited.” “Everybody’s been in different spots,” said linebacker Christian Jones. “You don’t get to be around everybody since the season ended, so it’s exciting just to talk to the guys again and see the new staff. I know a lot of us are just ready to get everything started.” Fox conducted a brief meeting with players Monday, and his message was simple. “Be ready to win championships,” Mundy said. “If you’re not all in to win a championship, then you don’t belong here, and I think everybody’s on board with that. We can’t settle for less. I think as we continue to
