How temp agencies and their clients get away with discriminating against Black job applicants A Chicago Crusader Special Report

By Erick Johnson In New Jersey, they call them “number 2s,” but in Chicago, Blacks seeking temp jobs are called “guapos.”

For years they were codes that were used as part of a covert system of discrimination among temp staffing agencies and their corporate clients. In recent years many of them have been sued for secretly working hand in hand to keep

Blacks from working on its assembly lines, warehouses and packaging plants where they are far outnumbered by Hispanic workers.

Here, Black temp workers earn far less money for working fewer hours than their Hispanic counterparts.

It’s a widespread practice that’s happening in Chicago and across the country. From Florida to California to Illinois, hundreds of thousands of Black applicants in desperate need of work are being shut out of companies that pressure temp agencies to discriminate based on race, sex, age and disability. Many of these cases involved racial discrimination, where Blacks all over America have been the biggest victims.

For many Black applicants in the temp industry, it’s a double dose of discrimination, first by

the client and then by the temp agency.

What was once a longstanding dirty little secret between temp agencies and former employees and managers is now being exposed with an explosion of class-action lawsuits. Angry and fed up with racial discrimination, they are taking action against companies that make millions off the backs of poor workers while marketing themselves as clean firms that hire people from all ethnic backgrounds, including Blacks.

Sadly, many discrimination victims face an uphill battle in taking their employers to court.

Instead, many companies that are sued for racial discrimination end up paying relatively small damage amounts and fines. Along with little state and federal oversight, discriminatory

practices among temp agencies have continued at an alarming rate at the expense of Black applicants seeking a fresh start in the land of opportunity. With the legal and financial constraints of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), widespread discrimination is growing and forcing Black applicants to lose thousands of jobs to Hispanics in Chicago and other cities. It’s a reality that’s fueling racial tensions between successful Hispanics and Blacks who still lag behind in the workforce.

In Chicago, the problem is rampant, thanks to State Rep. Luis Arroyo, a powerful Hispanic politician who last year helped kill a legislative bill along with Dan Shomon, a lobbyist and executive director of the Staffing Services Associa(Continued on page 12)

Lack of Mental Health care is devastating communities

By Patrice Nkrumah The story last week of a man boarding a CTA bus and then beating a woman and the bus driver with frozen chickens is just the latest bizarre crime committed by a person with a mental illness. This summer a deranged man stabbed a woman on a CTA train because she would not have his baby. Rank and file police and paramedics say they are dealing with more mentally ill citizens during their shifts than ever before. All of this is occurring four years after Mayor Emanuel closed half of the city’s mental health clinics at the same time when former Gov. Pat Quinn closed the Tinley Park Mental Health Center and several other state-run facilities providing mental care.

The effects of the closings has touched everyone in the state, but the Black community is particularially taking it hard. Those with loved ones with mental illnesses say it is harder to get them their meds and keep them on consistently because of a lack of counselors and physicians. Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart last year hired a mental health professional to become the jail warden because of the drastic increase of mental illnesses among the jail population. And mental health activists have been protesting for years, to little avail, to try to motivate citizens to stand up on the issue.

Encounters with police are increasing around the country between the mentally ill and cops, and many have ended in fatalities. This summer in southern Florida, a mental health case worker was accidentally shot by police during an encounter when he was trying to help a patient. Three years ago a Park Forest police officer fatally shot a resident at a senior citizen home with bean bags after the man was having a violent outburst. Activists say these sad incidents will continue to become common until the country as a whole starts to take mental health seriously.

“There are great needs in these communities for mental health services,” said N’Dana Carter. “We don’t have a third of the services that we need.

When we watch all of the African Americans that are dying at the hands of police or other African Americans, this leads to depression and anxiety, all mental health issues. The public has to believe they have the right…especially Black people. And elected officials have to believe that their constituents have this right and if they speak up they won’t be shot down.”

Members of AFSCME Local 31 said in 2011 when the closings were being proposed that the closing of the 75-bed unit at Tinley Park would have a “devastating affect” on the surrounding communities. AFSCME said those patients were the most vulnerable and posed the biggest risk to themselves and the public at large. But the state ignored the warnings and closed 2

a total of seven mental health institutions due to funding.

Both U.S. Presidential candidates have talked a lot about the need to fund mental health in the country.

But few states or municipalities have pending legislation to do so. Here in Illinois, Southside state Rep. Mary Flowers (D) has been an advocate since her first day in office. She said how the state even defines mental illness is something she does not agree with and she has proposed legislation in an effort to make things clearer for fear that some people will be misdiagnosed and not get the proper treatment.

“State laws regarding competence, criminal responsibility, and disability all use the manual’s [DSM-V] definitions of mental illness,” said Flowers, who says little is being done to address the issue despite politicians saying they will do more.”

Activists in Chicago in August garnered over 10,000 signatures on a petition urging city leaders to create a special tax to fund mental health facilities. Jackie Ingram was one of the organizers. She said more mental health centers are needed on the city’s West Side. She said the heroin and PCP users on the West Side have become increasingly violent as drug addiction is something people with mental illness often turn to when they do not get their proper meds. Two weeks ago a Chicago Police officer was nearly killed when she was attacked by a man under the influence of PCP. “The smallest trigger can send anyone into a rage. We are trying to get our normal back, and we all know it’s not been normal for a long time on the West Side,” she said.

‘Decimated’ services for traumatized Chicago students to get federal funding

By Kalyn Belsha, The Chicago Reporter As gun violence soars in Chicago, public schools have not been able to devote enough resources to basic counseling assistance — let alone to helping traumatized students.

A new $1.3 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education will support more mental health services at 10 high schools on the South and West sides of the city, where students are at high risk of exposure to violence.

The federal grant — established in the wake of national unrest over police shootings of unarmed black men — also was awarded to school districts in Baltimore and St. Louis. The funding is meant to work in concert with another federal grant that supports cities, including Chicago, that are dealing with the aftermath of the turmoil.

The grant comes at a crucial time for

“For some kids, they’re walking past traumatic reminders every day at school, or they’re sitting in a classroom where their friend used to be and their friend is dead,” said Colleen Cicchetti, executive director of the Center for Childhood Resilience at Lurie Children’s Hospital, which is partnering with CPS on the grant.

So far this year, 238 children age 16 and under were injured in shootings; 26 died of gun violence, according to the Chicago Tribune. That’s on pace to top last year, when 248 youths in this age group were shot and 27 died.

Meanwhile, the district has fewer social workers to help students cope with the deaths of their classmates.

Last school year, 323 social workers served more than 392,000 students, and many split time among multiple schools. That was down from 370 social workers about four years earlier — a drop much steeper than the (Continued on page 3)

Chicago legend Ed McElroy dies

by Susan Malone Edward M. McElroy has died at 91 years of age. The communities of Chicago and its outlying suburbs mourn the loss of a great man.

It is truly the end of an era.

Everyone knew Ed McElroy. He was one of a kind. He was known for his radio and television appearances as early as the 1940‘s. Ed was active in the field of news and sports on WJOB, WIND and WJJD radio for over 67 years. He was the host of “Community in Focus” on Channel 19, and received numerous awards for news coverage in the United States. Ed had entertained hospitalized veterans and underprivileged children for many years. He was Past National Commander and Past State Commander of the Catholic War Veterans of the United States.

McElroy built and ran one of the largest public relations firms of its time. Amazingly, he worked this business full time up until his death. He worked side-by-side with his lovely wife Rita. Ed and Rita were married for over 60 years and Ed still lovingly referred to Rita as his bride.

“Ed McElroy was the living embodiment of the city of Chicago and its history for most of the past century. But more than that, he

was a good man, hard-working and decent, certain in his faith and family, devoted to his wife Rita and their children and grandchildren, reliable to his friends and colleagues. He helped countless judges, politicians, and government servants navigate the labyrinth of public life. Ed not only knew you, he knew your father, and he would share moments that happened 60 years ago as clearly as if they happened yesterday. I had dinner with him two weeks ago yesterday, and he was, as always, marveling at his longevity and the good fortune he has enjoyed; it’s hard to believe he’s gone. Ed was truly among the very last of a tremendous generation. He was a good friend and I will always miss him,” stated his friend Neil Steinberg, Chicago Sun-Times.

Ed was definitely old school.

Old school in the way that he thought of family and friends, and old school in his remarkable approach to business. He always stated that to be successful, you needed to establish relationships – people to people. You needed to always look your best and have your shoes shined. You needed to be a man of your word. You needed to know people and get to know everything about them. You should be available to celebrate

their victories and mourn their losses. You needed to be loyal to God and country.

State Senator Martin Sandoval said, “Ed was a great man. He had such a joyful spirit that touched everyone who knew him. We feel truly lucky to have been able to know him and will miss him dearly.” Ed was quite the character, quite the interesting man. He was a dapper gentleman, a storyteller, an icon, a friend.

Mr. McElroy lived a full and robust life. He never drank, never smoked a cigarette, and never drank a cup of coffee. He kept very active. Ed was quite the star on the basketball court, up until a few years ago. He knew how to laugh. And, he had respect for one and all. He was an example to many.

Constable of Chicago? Yes, that was Ed McElroy. It was an honor bestowed upon him by his longtime friend Alderman Edward M. Burke (14) on July 19, 2015. This came about one day prior to Ed’s 90th birthday. Ed received 100’s of awards over the course of his lifetime, but this one was quite special to him.

“To see Ed McElroy walk down the street was truly a wonder to behold. Like a one-man PR machine he knew the name of every

Edward M. McElroy crossing guard, traffic aide and police officer. Ed never missed a political event,” recalled Alderman Burke. “The stories surrounding Ed’s long and colorful life pay testament to the old Chicago adage that who you know in life really does matter. He was a very dear friend who will be remembered and missed by countless people whose lives he touched in such a positive way.”

Ed’s life and times entwined with Hyde Park occasionally over the years. During one of Ed’s appearances in the area, he met a young

state senator, Barack Obama.

They bumped into each other at this particular event and started talking. Ed ended up driving President Obama home and formed a lasting friendship on the way. Ed was heard saying that he was very impressed with this classy, young man. He spent many a day with Barack Obama, introducing this rising star to elected officials, dignitaries, and newspaper publishers far and wide.

Ed was a valued friend to the common man, to mayors, governors, and even presidents of the United States. Those that knew him can testify to the impact that he has made on society. He will be remembered as a good and a decent man. Rest easy, my friend.

Ed McElroy was the beloved husband of Rita Marie; loving father of Edward T. (Demetra) McElroy, Beth (Jack) Kirkwood and David McElroy, Ret. CFD; proud grandfather of Danny, Lily, Mike, Tim and Megan and the late Emily. McElroy passed away on October 13, 2016. Visitation was held at Curley Funeral Home, 6116 W. 111th Street in Chicago Ridge on October 16, 2016 and his funeral was held on October 17, 2016 from St. Germaine Church, 9711 S. Kolin Avenue in Oak Lawn.

‘Decimated’ services for traumatized Chicago students to get federal funding (Continued from page 2) overall enrollment decline. (Budget cuts are likely to worsen the slide this year.) Ways to free up counselors have been floated in the latest round of contract negotiations between the Chicago Teachers Union and CPS. How trauma cripples students Research shows that students who are exposed to violence and receive no treatment for trauma are more likely to suffer lower grades, poor school attendance, higher rates of suspension and expulsion, and lower graduation rates.

Untreated trauma can also reemerge later in life. Youth traumatized by violence are more likely to attempt suicide and to suffer from chronic unemployment, depression, alcoholism and high stress.

When students are chronically exposed to stress, especially during the key developmental stages of early childhood and adolescence, their bodies can become conditioned to remain in a state of high alert, Cicchetti said.

Two months after Tyshawn Lee’s murder, there was a 10-point drop in the percentage of students who were on track to pass to the next grade at his Auburn Gresham elementary school, the grant application reportwww.chicagocrusader.com

ed. School officials also cited the June shooting death of Denzel Thornton, a CPS nutrition services employee, outside an Austin elementary school when children were inside.

The district has yet to choose which schools will be part of the grant program, but its application identified 30 high-need high schools, mostly serving black and Latino students from the surrounding neighborhood.

Many priority schools were located in Austin, Humboldt Park, Englewood, West Englewood, Roseland and New City.

Schools in proximity to shootings were given priority, as well as those with low scores on a district survey that measures areas such as school safety and emotional health. Also considered were truancy rates, the percentage of students on track to graduate on time, and high studentto-counselor ratios.

The plan also calls for about 300 parents, as well as 320 school staff members, to receive training in trauma and mental health over the twoyear period of the grant. Approximately 900 high school students will participate in trauma-informed group therapy. Up to a third of those students will get free individualized counseling. Schools will also get at

But Knoverek, director of program consultation and evaluation for Chaddock, a child trauma residential treatment center in Quincy, Ill., says the therapy pays off. “I do find that once schools or other organizations make that commitment, they realize how it is worth it,” she said.

WHEN ARE WE GOING TO LEARN? The very definition of insanity, according to the late great Albert Einstein, is doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different result. Basically, how long will it take for us to realize that we have to change internally before any significant change will occur outside the Black community? As we have said on a number of occasions, it will not be possible for the Black community to achieve significant success without a liberal dosage of self-love and unity. At this point, this seems to have become a pointless meme that people banter about, but do not actually believe.

The simple truth is that most people seem to feel that Blacks are inferior, including a large number of Black people. There is an old saying that even white folks’ ice is colder than Black folks’ ice. People have been mesmerized by technology; they are technoholic, and are confusing technical expertise with human quality. In other words, the expert manipulation of the physical environment by whites does not mean that the quality of life is superior. For example, one of the most technically adept societies during the past century was Nazi Germany. Even though that was the case, they destroyed more than 6 million human beings, and this does not even count the collateral damage that had tentacles reaching far into the 21st Century that are impacting lives today.

We can also look at the American republic that became very advanced due to the help of free slave labor. Chances are this nation would not have had some of the technological successes that it has if it had not been for the violence meted out to Africans, Native Americans, and others. Once again, the quality of human life is not measured in how many widgets we can make or on political control, but on the way we treat each other. This is something that Black people have to understand if there is to be a significant quality of life change.

The old story that the Black community must automatically be subjugated by others is without foundation; it is not true here or elsewhere. The Black community in America spends more than a trillion dollars a year, but most of it goes to other communities. We do not like to do business with each other. Even when we develop good products and invest money in viable businesses, too often Black people don’t treat their Black customers well. In fact, it is often said that they tend to treat white customers better than Black ones.

The lack of Black organization and self-love is also evident on the African continent. Political and economic corruption is rampant, and the continent with some of the greatest resources on Earth is exploited by outsiders. Just as Arabs, Koreans and others have come into America’s Black communities and dominated the business sectors, the Chinese and others are doing the same thing in Africa. The way things are going, Africa and its vast resources may just once again fall into the hands of others. The new colonizers are on the path of controlling water, seeds, politics, labor and mineral resources.

Considering the foregoing, it will be very important for a change to occur in the Black community’s MINDSET. No external change will make a difference. When there is a dependence on external political or economic factors, the Black community will lose every time as long as the mindset remains that of slavish consumerism and not intelligent production and internal trade. The upcoming presidential election is going to be very important, but whatever change happens in the White House, the community won’t see the changes it needs until Black individuals take control of their own destiny. The time for waiting for others to do for us is over, we must do for self or forever expect to be controlled or dominated by economic and political forces that are inimical to the Black community. Absent that, the community will continue running around in circles and NOTHING will result in success. There is an Eastern term known as “karma” which essentially means that we reap what we sow. Black karma is a reality, and is reflected in the current condition of the Black community. Take heed. A luta continua.

The news that the mayor will seek a third term came out as a cat’s meow instead of the lion’s roar that fits his persona. The ho-hum reception of the announcement sent the clear message we’re not afraid of Rahm anymore. The other message it sent was the mayor has more repair work to do, especially in the Black community, than he had imagined.

No doubt Emanuel took into account how often his predecessor, Richard M. Daley, was roundly criticized by Black Chicagoans, but always re-elected. That had to buoy his hopes given that his reputation with African Americans is in the pits.

How this man thinks that closing four dozen schools, taxing us to the hilt, ignoring the economic development needs of the West Side and South Side, and hiding the Laquan McDonald murder videotape can be ignored by Black folks is mindboggling.

We know the mayor has been hiring some Black people for his staff in hopes that they can get in front of everyday Black people and tell us the mayor isn’t so bad and he needs another chance. They are just as dumb as the mayor if they believe we will listen. Emanuel has

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR What will Negroes do?

Dear Editor:

made promise after promise to Black people and about all we get is more promises and more taxes. I guess they all think that showing up for photo opps is actually engaging Black residents, Despite his pathetic approach to improving our parts of Chicago, the mayor has reason to believe he can return to office in 2019. Think back to when Daley was in office and how people repeatedly called him a racist and every other name short of Klansman, Daley managed to manipulate the opinions about him and return to office until he had served 23 years-longer than any modern Chicago mayor, including his father.

Daley though was a master politician who knew how to make people believe a better day and more opportunities were just around the corner. Daley gave enough Black people jobs and appointments so some influential Black people were always speaking on his behalf.

Rahm has come up short in achieving that but no doubt he hopes that the discontent he is hearing is just talk, and Black people will forgive, even if they don’t forget. Yes, Rahm is counting on the Negro vote. That is the vote that kept putting Daley back in office.I seriously doubt that that same bloc will be rushing to the polls for Rahm. One of the key reasons is this mayor doesn’t have the clout among aldermen that Daley did, nor does he have the ground troops to push people to the polls.

That is critical because no matter how disgruntled Black people became under Daley we voted. It is very very likely the Negroes will sit out the election and Rahm will have to find out what it’s like to have to earn a living that involves something besides promising what he can’t deliver.

NY Attorney General goes after Construction Discrimination Beyond the Rhetoric

By Harry C. Alford After three decades of fighting against discrimination amongst construction unions, I finally see a shining example of due diligence.

Most elected officials don’t give much attention to leveling the field for minority and female contractors. Start calling out the fraudulent general contractors who will do anything to try and game projects where the owners have good intentions by setting targets or goals for minority and female subcontractors and they just ignore you. Some depressing days would cause me to say to myself “Am I the only one who sees this?”

But finally it appears that leaders are catching on to this expensive and illegal activity that decimates our workforce and blocks the development of minority entrepreneurs. Most of the discrimination is targeted towards Blacks. The people of Rochester, New York have received a blessing. That blessing is New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman. After hearing complaints about the fraud

and fronting on a multi – renovation school system project, the Attorney General began to look at this $325 million 13 schools project funded by the State of New York.

He organized a formal investigation and on October 14, 2016 he announced his conclusions. There were five construction firms guilty of discrimination against minority and female firm who sought subcontracting tasks. The firms have agreed to pay $825,000 in fines after they were “cold busted.” A whistleblower stepped in and exposed what was happening and the firms – Concord Electric Corporation, Manning Squires Hennig, Hewitt Young Electric, Michael A. Ferrauilo Plumbing & Heating Inc. and Mark Cerrone Inc. blamed it all on sloppy paper work and unforeseen mix-ups.

According to the Attorney General, “All five firms lied about sub-contracting with minority and women owned businesses when in reality, they got materials and labor elsewhere. In many cases, the firms gave MWOBs (minority women owned businesses) kickbacks in exchange for falsifying documents.” I certainly hope he has no mercy on the minority culprits who went along with

monitor the progress and assure the numbers and percentages are real and correct. After that comes Buffalo. These and other New York cities understand the seriousness of the Attorney General.

The fines that will be collected by Rochester will go into the needed funding for more ongoing city projects. Syracuse is raising a $400,000 fund to assist minority and female contractors who are being paid in a very slow process. This is called “factoring.” Slow pay is a major issue for small businesses. Another pledge by the Syracuse mayor is that most of the workers will be Syracuse citizens – no carpetbagging which construction unions are noted for. It is a new day coming for the Black contractors of upstate New York and that is a very, very good thing.

As our new friend, Attorney General Schneiderman laments, “Women and minority owned businesses have historically been shut out of government contracts for all the wrong reasons.

That’s why our state, and localities, implement reasonable diversity standards to level the playing field. These contractors engaged in flagrant schemes that flouted the diversity rules they were required to meet, and

Harry C. Alford these games.

The program was well intended.

Not only will they correct the above but will also start similar programs.

Reviewing what went wrong in Rochester, the Syracuse school systems will now begin on their renovation and have pledged to do it right.

The mayor of Syracuse has pledged decent minority and female participation and has hired a consultant to

in the process, denied minority and women owned businesses a fair shot at winning valuable sub-contracts.

My office will continue to aggressively enforce the law against contractors who game the system.” Look out!

There is a new “sheriff” in town.

All attorney generals, prosecutors and mayors should emulate what is happening in New York. Most urban areas outside of the South are menaced with vile and racist contractors who refuse diversity and will plague minorities and females to satisfy their greed. Wherever there is high union activity in construction there will be games played. Sign them to firm diversity standards. I am not talking “goals” but requirements. Monitor them and accept no excuses.

Here is some homework. What is the status of construction diversity in your community? All you have to do is ask and verify. If it is not going right, then get an investigation to see where the problem is.

Mr. Alford is the co-founder, President/CEO of the National Black Chamber of Commerce.

Civil rights leaders and lawmakers say court is wrong to weaken CFPB Federal appeals court throws out $109 million fine, says Bureau’s Director is unconstitutional

By Charlene Crowell (NNPA Newswire Columnist) After returning billions of dollars in restitution that helped more than 25 million consumers plagued with financial struggles, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) was dealt a judicial low blow. Swift and strong reactions to the decision came from civil rights leaders, consumer advocates and lawmakers who vowed to continue fighting for fairness in consumer finance.

In a 2-1 decision on October 11, a panel of three judges of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled that the CFPB’s governance by a single director was unconstitutional.

The court also rejected a $109 million fine assessed for mortgage-related violations. Petitioning the court was PHH, a non-bank mortgage lender.

Formally supporting PHH by filing court briefs were the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the National Association of Realtors and the American Land Title Association.

“This is a case about executive power and individual liberty,” wrote Judge Brett Kavanaugh in his opinion.

“The U.S. Government’s executive power to enforce federal law against private citizens – for example, to bring criminal prosecutions and civil enforcement actions – is essential to societal order and progress, but simulta-

neously a grave threat to individual liberty.”

What Judge Kavanaugh and his colleague did not seem to recall are the millions of consumers who, through no fault of their own, lost their homes and their jobs during the foreclosure crisis that drained more than $13 trillion from the country’s economy. And while positive economic signs have emerged across the country, the very communities targeted by predatory financial practices – Blacks and Latinos – continue to feel as if the economic recovery has left them behind.

Nearly two years ago, CFPB fined PHH a total of $109 million for mortgage insurance kickbacks that began as early as 1995. Despite the hefty fine, what PHH and other financial interests really sought was a shuttering of the Bureau. Multiple legislative efforts have fortunately been stymied.

More recently, those who opposed CFPB’s creation alternatively sought judicial relief.

The district court did not go as far as the industry had hoped. PHH will not pay the CFPB ordered fine. However the split decision, did hold that the CFPB Director could be fired at will by a sitting president. The decision, which may be appealed, runs contrary to the original intent in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act: removing partisan shenanigans from financial regulation and creating an in-

dependent federal office to have financial fairness as its sole focus.

Dodd-Frank created CFPB as an independent agency led by a single director serving a 5-year term. The Bureau’s funding was also removed from the annual congressional appropriations process. While the President nominated CFPB’s Director, Senate confirmation was required for the full term and before much of the regulatory efforts could begin.

After President Obama’s nomination of Richard Cordray languished for more than a year without a confirmation vote, his Bureau service began with a congressional recess appointment before he was eventually confirmed by the upper chamber.

Many civil rights leaders and consumer advocates who championed financial reform in the aftermath of the Great Recession swiftly reacted to the court decision.

“Conservative members of Congress have consistently tried to weaken CFPB’s authority for meritless and political reasons,” said Mike Calhoun, president of the Center for Responsible Lending. “If the 2008 financial crisis showed us anything, it’s that consumers need an independent regulator to look after the interests of consumers.... Any efforts to change CFPB’s structure would reduce its effectiveness and harm hard working people across the country.”

Charlene Crowell “For years, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has cracked down on payday loan sharks, for-profit college scams, robo-filing debt collectors, shady overdraft charges, predatory home loans, and just several weeks ago, bank account fraud on a staggering scale,” said Wade Henderson, president and CEO, The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights.

“It’s not clear to us why this court chose this moment to side with those interests and against American con-

sumers, coming so soon after the Wells Fargo scandal and so soon before the election,” continued Henderson. “But today’s ruling, as poorly-timed and wrong as it is, will help Americans understand just what is at stake.”

On Capitol Hill, two leading financial reform lawmakers also offered strong reactions.

“This split decision — which bizarrely relies on a mischaracterization of my original proposal for a new consumer agency — will likely be appealed and overturned,” said Senator Elizabeth Warren, who is largely credited with the idea of a consumer cop-onthe-beat. “The CFPB has been, and will remain, highly accountable to both Congress and the President.”

If an appeal is pursued, two options are available to CFPB: one to the full DC Circuit Court or a petition request to the U.S. Supreme Court. In either case, the decision does not overturn past CFPB actions, nor does it reduce the CFPB’s authority moving forward.

Congresswoman Maxine Waters of California, the Ranking Member of the House Financial Services Committee expressed similar views to those of Senator Warren.

“The CFPB is a critical part of the Dodd-Frank Act and has returned nearly $12 billion to more than 27 million consumers by going after fraud at (Continued on page 7)

1983 AND THE INVASION OF GRENADA Dr. Conrad Worrill, Director/Professor, Carruthers Center for Inner City Studies (CCICS), located at 700 East Oakwood Blvd, Chicago, Illinois, 60653, 773268-7500, Fax: 773-268-3835.

E-mail: c-worrill@neiu.edu, Website: www.neiu.edu/ccics, Twitter: @CCICS_Chicago.

Dr. Conrad Worrill Given the current media attention being given to the war against terrorism, African people should not forget significant events in our history. One of the events we should not forget is the United States invasion of the island of Grenada. The Caribbean island of Grenada has virtually been banned from international news coverage.

It was thirty-three-years ago that

Grenada was a major international news item as a result of the United States invasion of this African island of 110,000 people on October 25, 1983.

The headlines of the October 26, 1983 issue of the New York Times was the following: “1,900 U.S. Troops, With Caribbean Allies, Invade Grenada and Fight Leftist Units; Moscow Protest; British Are Critical.”

Just as we observe the United States destabilization tactics in the Middle East today, these were the same tactics used in Grenada thirty years ago.

These tactics go something like this: Since the African people cannot govern and rule themselves; we must come to their aid in a humanitarian manner. We must provide them with food and other necessities of life. We must identify or create allies among the African people and create an atmosphere of support for the efforts of the United States to bring peace, harmony, and stability to the African people. Does this sound familiar? Obviously, the majority of the people in the Middle East oppose these tactics and are rebelling against them, just as the people of Grenada resisted the United States invasion twenty years ago.

I began writing my weekly column thirty years ago because of

what we, in the National Black United Front (NBUF), observed as the continuing white supremacy policies of the United States toward Grenada, the New Jewel Movement and its leader Maurice Bishop.

This is what I wrote in my first column that appeared in the Chicago Defender on October 24, 1983: “The Black Liberation Movement worldwide is deeply saddened by the death of Grenada’s Prime Minister, Maurice Bishop. Mr. Bishop, along with other Grenadian Officials, including Education Minister, Jacqueline Creft, Housing Minister, Norris Bain, Unision Whiteman, a former foreign minister, Secretary of Home Affairs, Vincent Noel and union leader Fitzroy Bain were killed by the new army forces on October 19 in a demonstration to free hundreds of Grenadians who were arrested because of their support for Mr. Bishop. These supporters had been placed in detention in Fort Rupert Army Headquarters, named after Rupert Bishop, Maurice’s father.”

As I contiued to write in this first column— “This Caribbean identity simply means the interconnectedness of the African experience that resulted in millions of African

people being captured and brought to this region of the world during the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade of the fourteenth through seventeenth centuries.”

Further, as I explained in this column, “This area of the world is predominately African and the people in it have been struggling against white domination in an effort to achieve independence and sovereignty.

Grenada under the leadership of Maurice Bishop was a shining example of an African government and nation seeking independence and sovereignty.”

There are many lessons that the invasion of Grenada taught us. Lessons that continue to plague the worldwide African Liberation Movement that are steeped in the efforts of the white supremacy forces to always find some African person or persons to keep us divided and fighting each other, rather than focusing on and fighting the real enemy.

In the case of Grenada, an African man who Maurice Bishop had practiced law with and became the Deputy Prime Minister, was the chief architect of Maurice Bishop’s and the New Jewel Movement’s overthrow that provided the open door for the United States’ invasion of the island.

As I wrote thirty-three-years ago in my first column, and as so many had

stated before me, “The real question for the Black Liberation Movement worldwide is when will we stop killing each other over political disputes? This was clearly a political dispute between different forces within the New Jewel Movement. All factions had pledged a commitment to bring about change for the people of the island, and Bishop was beginning to bring about that change as the popular outpouring of support for him during the fighting intensified.

Did someone want that change to stop?”

In the same context I wrote— “One thing is certain, African Movement forces must find political solutions to political disputes. Killing each other is not the answer to changing systems that are exploitive of our people.”

We must always remember Grenada and the words that Maurice Bishop spoke at Hunter College in New York on June 5, 1983. Maurice said, “Our people, therefore, have a greater and deeper understanding of what the revolution means and what it has brought them.”

The people of Grenada and the New Jewel Movement will return, as all African people will once again find our place in the sun. Even though it appears to be bleak, we must continue to struggle and move forward.

PRESIDENT OBAMA’S LAST 100 DAYS

By Julianne Malveaux The countdown to President Obama’s last one hundred days began on October 13. Already, the President has committed to spending his waning days in office by campaigning for Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee for President. Indeed, he has put his legacy on the line, telling Black people at his last Congressional Black Caucus dinner that he will be personally insulted if folks don’t get out to vote for Hillary. Instead of staking his legacy, however, President Obama might be better advised to improve his legacy by taking bold actions in these last days of his presidency.

What might he do to positively affect the African Americans he far too frequently scolds? For one thing, he might step up the pace of the pardons and sentence commutations for nonviolent drug offenders, who are disproportionately African American. In 2011, thenAttorney General Eric Holder said there were as many as 10,000 federal drug offenders that could be released. While President Obama 6

has offered pardons and commutations, only a fraction of those whose sentences could be commuted have been. For whatever reason, the Department of Justice has moved at a snail’s pace with commutations.

President Obama could direct Attorney General Loretta Lynch to bring more pardon applications to his desk. He would make a tremendous impact if the number of nonviolent drug offenders with sentences pardoned or commuted were closer to 10,000 than 1000.

President Obama might also consider a posthumous pardon for Marcus Garvey, the Jamaican-born activist and founder of the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA). At its peak, UNIA had millions of members in 1100 chapters in 40 countries. Garvey was wrongfully convicted of mail fraud and deported from the United States in 1923. Garvey was really only guilty of loving Black people and organizing us.

President Obama could lift up an organizer, correct a historical wrong, and signal that he is not as indifferent to Black people as he sometimes seems. Such a small gesture would go a long way to-

Dr. Julianne Malveaux ward contributing to his legacy.

The President might also consider the Institute for the Black World request that he appoint a John Hope Franklin Commission on Reparations. He could do this by executive order, and the commission could potentially hold a couple of hearings in the month after the November elec-

tion. This would be a small gesture, but it would go a long way toward continuing an important conversation about the origins of our nation’s wealth gap.

President Obama could also use the Executive Order to direct unspent Department of Education funds to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). What if he directed at least $1 million to each HBCU, pushing Dr. Kim Hunter Reed, Acting Executive Director of the White House Initiative on HBCUs to go to each federal department to release unspent funds for contracting and scholarship opportunities? These dollars would make a great difference, especially at our nation’s smallest, private HBCUs. The President made important points in his recent visit to North Carolina A&T State University at a gathering hosted by ESPN’s The Undefeated, and led by anchor Stan Verrett. He could combine talk with action by aggressively addressing HBCU issues as his term winds down, making amends for the ways his administration treated HBCUs earlier.

President Obama has lots of unfinished domestic and foreign

policy matters, and there will be numerous demands, in these last 100 days, for him to address all manner of matters. As a lame duck, he has limited tools – the Executive Order and the bully pulpit. Congress may return after the November election chastened, especially if Republicans lose the Presidential race, and inclined to cooperate on some legislative matters. It is more likely, however, that they will continue their obstruction to anything President Obama proposes.

Still, President Obama has the power to do more both symbolically and substantively in these last days of his Presidency. I’d urge him to consider some of the things he can do to address the African American community that has steadfastly supported him, even when he has not been so supportive of us.

Minority architectural firm approved to complete the Whitney Young Library The Board of Commissioners of the Public Building Commission of Chicago (PBC) appointed Johnson & Lee, Ltd, a full-service Chicago-based MBE architectural firm, to serve as the Architect of Record (AOR) for the Whitney Young Branch Library Renovation and Expansion Project in the Chatham neighborhood.

This appointment aligns with Mayor Emanuel and the Chicago Public Library’s initiative to reimagine the ways library patrons access information, inspire learning and engage communities. With the Board’s action the PBC will transfer schematic designs to Johnson & Lee to successfully carry the project through the various phases of construction.

“The PBC identified the Whitney Young Branch Library Renovation and Expansion project as the prime opportunity to introduce architectural firms to a new client,” Felicia S. Davis, Executive Director, PBC said. “With the appointment of Johnson & Lee, we anticipate that we will deliver another highly successful project to the benefit of the com-

munity and further the mission of the Chicago Public Library.”

The PBC assembled an evaluation committee which included Darlene Tribue, President of Park Manor Neighbors Community Council, to assess firms with the demonstrated ability to execute AOR services for the project. The Evaluation Committee assessed firms based on their proposed project team, project approach and their demonstrated commitment to MBE/WBE participation in the execution of their services.

“Reinvesting in and revitalizing the Whitney Young Library is critical not only to each constituent in the area, but also to the region,” Darlene Tribue, President of Park Manor Neighborhood Community Council said.

“This project is as an opportunity to develop a striking architectural, community specific design that will play a critical role in revitalizing the South Side.”

Located at 7901 S. King Drive, the renovation plans include a 3,000 plus square foot expansion.

The facility will feature an Early Learning center for children;

‘I Used to Love Her’ Screens to Sold-Out Audience

By J. Coyden Palmer Last month, hundreds turned out at a South Side movie theater to support a local African-American film director’s latest project.

The web series, “I Used to Love Her,” premiered at the newly-renovated and Black-owned Studio Grill on West 87th Street in front of a sold-out audience. Mark Harris, creator of the Englewood Film Festival, continues to inspire and tell the stories of Black Americans, and his latest web series filmed in Chicago continues the tradition.

The web series captures the essence of a husband and wife team who bootstrapped an independent recording and distribution company for socially-conscious artists. When a major record label makes them an offer they can’t refuse, they find themselves in a fight that may be too big for them to handle. Each episode of the series tackles social issues that plague pop culture today.

“The stories I tell are so important, not just to our community, but to the world,” said Harris during the audience Q&A session after the screening. “We have to tell our sto-

ries for our own self-value and selfworth, but we also play a big role in how our people are seen throughout the world. With all of the negative images there are of Black men…it leads to police officers being afraid of us when they interact with us. I’m trying to change that narrative through film, while also having a Black-owned business that can hire Black cast members.”

The cast of the web series is made up entirely of local talent—something Harris is most proud of. He said Chicago has so much talent and people think you have to leave and go to Hollywood to be a success.

Filming all over the world with his 1555 Filmworks Inc., Harris says Chicago stacks up with anywhere else in the world.

“I think the talent in our cast, audio and camera people is right up there with anyone else, but in order to expand, it takes money like anything else. We have to be willing to support good works if we want to change the spectrum.”

Harris was disappointed to see two recent Hollywood Black movies crash at the box office. “Birth of a Nation,” the story of revolutionary

Mark Harris Nat Turner and “Queen of Katwe” about a Ugandan chess champion were top films at film festivals, but did not do well with major audiences. Unless the community goes out and supports these films, Harris believes Hollywood will go back to producing movies like “Soul Plane.”

In addition to supporting films once they are released, he said it is also im-

portant for him to secure financing just to make the film.

“I need to raise $3 million for my next feature film, ‘House Behind the Tracks’ to stay true to the story and characters,” Harris said. “It’s hard out here for positive, historical and uplifting Black content.”

Harris is taking advantage of technology and the new entertainment

mediums that allow artists to get their work out to the public. “I Used to Love Her” is available via streaming devices, and Harris is taking advantage of technology and the new entertainment mediums that allow artists to get their work out to the public. He is set to travel to Washington, D.C. to begin filming his fifth feature film.

Temp agencies discriminating against Black job applicants (Continued from page 1) tion of Illinois, an organization that represents 25 temp agencies that provide some 250,000 in the state a year.

FIGHTING BACK WITH LAWSUITS In the past three years, Chicago attorney Christopher Williams and the Chicago Workers Collaborative have sued six temp agencies and companies who they believe discriminated against Blacks by not sending them on assignments in which they were qualified. These firms included Elite Staffing, Vee Pak, Inc. Personnel Staffing (also known as Most Valuable Personnel or MVP), Alternative Staffing (ASL), Labor Power and Remedial Environment Manpower (REM).

In some of the cases, the client allegedly told the temp agency to not hire Black workers, according to the lawsuits. Most of the temp staff agency members who placed workers at job sites were Hispanic. Over time they allegedly developed and used a code to identify Black applicants as well as those who were female and applicants who had a disability.

According to lawsuits, Hispanics– particularly Mexicans–were highly preferred because they were usually illegal immigrants who could easily be exploited and won’t challenge pay issues or other abuses. According to complaints, Blacks were more outspoken, but were also called lazy workers who didn’t want to get dirty. When companies called temp agencies asking for help, on many occasions, they requested no “guapos,” which means pretty boys, according to lawsuits that include former dispatchers who took the calls.

At one of Illinois’ largest temp agencies, Elite Staffing, Gregg Mann, 55 alleged the firm used the code “DNR.” It means “Do Not Return” when it comes to Black applicants seeking temp jobs. In October 2015,

Mann said he was working for one of Elite Staffing’s clients, Pactiv, a plant at 7207 S. Mason Avenue. After several weeks, Mann said he received a call telling him that the assignment was over.

“They didn’t give any reason,” Mann told the Crusader. “It was over just like that. With few Blacks on the job site, we were all pulled suddenly out of the facility.”

Mann is among several Black temp workers who are suing Elite Staffing for racial discrimination. He now works for the Chicago Workers Collaborative fighting for workers rights.

As an alleged victim of discrimination, he understands the plight of Black temp workers.

“Even though you’ve been let go by the host company, you’re still employed with the temp agency that

Temp agencies discriminating against Black job applicants (Continued from page 12) ments. The temp agency has 32 branches across the South, from Texas to Florida. It employs some 30,000 temp workers a year and generated $180 million in revenue in 2014, according to the firm.

At Automation’s branch in Chattanooga, a request for white men was common and was known as an order for “country boys,” according to three former employees. According to former employees at Automation branches in six states, Blacks who were fortunate enough to get assignments were placed in inferior positions.

One Black woman, Nakia Sanford, filed a lawsuit against Automation in 2014 after she showed up early at a branch in Memphis seeking to get a position at a FedEx distribution center. But the temp agency supervisor prefilled the sign in list with Latino names and sent out Hispanic workers who arrived after Sanford.

Last June, after years of complaints, the Birmingham, AL office filed a lawsuit against Automation after a branch manager called an employee a “nig—bit—“ for complaining about a string of racial slurs used in the workplace.

In Oklahoma, two Black women sued a Tulsa Temp agency after job orders surfaced revealing specific requests that read ‘Good ol’boy’ and ‘No B PPL’. It was also alleged that applications were marked with a black dot for Black workers, a circle for Hispanics and an X for Indian.

In New Jersey, Blacks who applied to temp agencies were called “number 2s.” A Texas temp agency called whites “blue eyes,” and an Ohio agency called whites “vanilla cupcakes.”

TEMP INDUSTRY A BOOMING BUSINESS With demand for quick hires and manpower, the temp agencies are a

booming industry. In 2015, the industry reached an all-time high of employing 3 million workers a month, up from just over a million in 1990, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Employees are sent to work for companies. They are paid directly by temp agencies, which pay hourly wages that usually range from $8 to $13.

Companies like temp agencies because they save the time in interviewing and hiring extra labor. Unlike permanent jobs, temp jobs usually carry no benefits, health insurance or vacation time. Sometimes, companies offer permanent employment to productive temp workers. For Blacks needing work right away, temp jobs are highly sought after.

As the industry increased, so has the number of discrimination lawsuits.

In the last decade the EEOC has filed 1,926 lawsuits, but the number of whistleblower lawsuits and complaints are even higher. In Chicago discrimination lawsuits against temp agencies began popping up after three female temp workers complained that a supervisor at a West Chicago Plastics plant sexually harassed them. The government believed them and forced Source One to pay $800,000 in damages.

Last January, Labor Power and REM, agreed to pay $450,000 and $50,000, respectively after they were sued in 2013 for allegedly denying Blacks work in favor of Hispanic workers. Their client, Ferrara Candy Company–which makes Lemonheads, Boston Baked Beans and Atomic Fireballs– agreed to pay $1 million as part of the settlement agreement. None of the companies admitted guilt or wrongdoing. The settlement came after a string of protests outside Ferrara Candy’s headquarters in west suburban Oak

Brook.

Chris Williams, the attorney who filed the lawsuit against Ferrara Candy and the other four temp agencies, said 1,100 Black workers were eligible for funds from the settlement.

Ferrara Candy is currently working on an affirmative action plan to prevent future discrimination.

Williams said since the lawsuit was filed, Labor Power has disbanded.

Other Chicago area temp agencies that have been sued for discrimination are TempsNow (May 2015) and ClearStaff (2014) in Woodridge.

In Atlanta, several Black workers who once worked on an assembly line packaging candy reached a settlement with the temp agency which told them to leave their positions after just two hours on the job.

A representative allegedly told them that “the company only hires Mexi-

cans.”

In San Diego, Sedona Staffing paid $920,000 to settle allegations that it systematically discriminated against job applicants.

On September 1, the EEOC announced that Resource Employment Solutions headquartered in largely Hispanic Orlando, Florida agreed to pay $435,000 to settle a class action lawsuit by a group of Black temp workers.

A LOSING BATTLE The settlements are hardly a loss or penalty for temp agencies that make millions off of big clients. Record high settlements are rare. In addition, there are no federal criminal penalties for employment discrimination. If a person files a discrimination complaint with the EEOC, the case most likely will be settled or dismissed.

With budget constraints and staff shortages, the EEOC largely avoids taking a case to court. Less than one percent of all complaints make it to the courtroom, according to Reveal, the Center for Investigative Reporting, which along with the Chicago Reporter ran their own stories about temp agencies.

In addition, the commission does not disclose what it’s doing to address the complaint. By law, those details and the investigation are secret unless it goes to court. With few penalties and paltry settlement amounts, temp agencies usually walk away with little damage to their coffers, while Black applicants remain scarred with settlement amounts that don’t always compensate for the pain they’ve experienced.

“This is why we have young angry Black men on the streets getting killed or killing other people,” said Mann, the former Elite Staffing temp

worker who’s suing his former employer for racial discrimination.

They’re angry. People are losing hope.

It’s a problem, man.”

Seeking comments for this story, the Crusader emailed Elite Staffing, MVP and ClearStaff temp agencies.

None of them responded by Crusader press time.

Illinois had the chance to crackdown on discriminatory agencies with SB47, a bill that died in the Illinois Assembly in May 2015. The legislation would have forced temp agencies to keep track of the race and gender of all its applicants, making it easier to hold them accountable for discriminatory practices. It was the first bill of its kind and Williams, the attorney representing numerous Black workers in class action lawsuits, was hoping it would pass.

Staffing agencies banded together and with lobbyist Dan Shomon, whose organization Staffing Services of America, represented many temp agencies that had paid settlement awards for allegedly discriminating against Blacks.

They all threw their weight behind State Representative Luis Arroyo, whose district is 61 percent Hispanic and four percent Black. The bill’s sponsor, former State Rep. Ken Dunkin represents a district that’s 52 percent Black and 4 percent Latino.

Arroyo said “You’re hurting people in my community. You’re hurting the people that I’m putting to work in my community.”

Arroyo asked Dunkin to not bring the bill to a final vote without the opposition’s approval. Dunkin at the time aimed to compromise, but that’s when State Rep. Mike Tyron, a Republican lawmaker, forced Dunkin to drop the bill altogether. Dunkin agreed and the fight was over. Several days later, the bill was dead.

The 52nd Annual Chicago Film Festival is in full swing and runs until Thursday, October 27. Opening night lived up to all the fanfare that it normally does, with guest celebrities, actresses and actors walking the red carpet in advance of not only their upcoming screenings but the premiere of “La La Land,” starring Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone. “La La Land” tells the story of a jazz enthusiast and an aspiring actress, both looking to make their mark in what they believe is the land of milk and honey. Both struggle to find their place, as they look to each other for encouragement.

This film is part musical and, while I’m not completely into musicals, the opening number is so colorful and magnificent that it made the rest of the film enjoyable.

Chloe Wines sponsored an opening night gala, featuring Chloe wines and hors d’oeuvres, and film critic Dean Richards welcomed the crowd, while introducing filmmaker and graphic artist Michael Kutza, the festival’s founder, who spoke about kicking off the first Chicago Film Festival more than a half a century ago. He started the festival in 1964 to provide an alternative to the commercial Hollywood movies that dominated the city’s theaters.

Seeking out the best in international cinema, the festival has opened windows to a world of films previously or otherwise unavailable in Chicago. In addition, at more than half of the screenings each year, filmgoers have the rare and exciting chance to meet directors, producers, writers and cast members who introduce their films and hold discussion sessions after the screenings.

A Moment to Super Size Your Thinking

By Effie Rolfe It’s Coming Back. You reap what you sow. Your actions are the seeds you plant that will manifest in your life. Make no mistake—whether you know it or not you are doing that each day of your life. The soil doesn’t care what you plant however it will return whatever seed you sow even if it’s a weed. Do not be deceived. God will not be made a fool.

For a person will reap what he sows (Galatians 6:7).

We are blessed to be a blessing. My prayer is to bless someone out of love rather than simply because of what I can get in return. We should all follow the golden rule ‘…do unto others as you would have them do unto you…’ (Matt 7:12). Acting in genuine love is the best practice.

Bottom line—you will reap whatever seeds you have sowed and that includes the good, the bad and the ugly. Your life is really an echo. The echo is all yours. Whatever you do today is what will find you tomor-

row. The actions that we take as well as the choices we make will determine our harvest. So really this is not just about the big payback, but it’s also about creating your legacy. How will you be remembered?

The choices you make will mirror your life. The great news is we can make a 360-degree change for the better. Starting now, let us begin to rewrite the chapters of our lives to make sure we will be able to reflect on a beautiful life story. Let love be the motivating factor for the seeds of blessings and kindness that you give.

The good that you choose to or not transcend culture, religion, nationally, socio-economic levels and beyond. The bible states in Matthew 25:25-40, “For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.” Then, these righteous ones will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry

Effie Rolfe and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink? Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing? When did we ever see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ “And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to

new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.”

Reaping and sowing, strange you say? This is a powerful example of planting and harvesting. You plant a few seeds and it yields a bushel of corn. The return on the seed is always greater than the initial seed you planted. Be it anger, bad habits, smiles or good deeds—what you receive will be much greater than what was given. Your sowing will definitely make room for you. Remember, whatever you do today will determine the rest of your life and will eventually stare you in the face.

one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!’”

Your life as well as your lifestyle is about sowing and reaping. Create your legacy and future by examining your current choices. Examine what you are consciously and unconsciously thinking and doing. These thoughts, actions and reactions will be the harvest of the seeds you have planted in every aspect of your natural and spiritual walk. You sow you reap—you give you get—you seek you find. Life always mirrors your actions. Ultimately, we are the producers and manufacturers of the results we experience in life. Regardless, if you realize it or not, we all have a say so in what we do.

Thankfully, God’s grace covers us.

But when it comes to sin and wrong doing, I truly believe that if we were penalized for everything we did— we wouldn’t make it too far or even be alive. According to Lamentations 3:22-23, “It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are

Keep It Exciting—sex isn’t talked about enough in marriage, particularly in the church! Along with intimacy, schedule weekly date nights, spend intentional time together and apart, and refuse to become content or too comfortable with your spouse.

That level of respect should only increase after marriage.

Pastor Reggie Royal Press, September 2016) is their first book together and seeks to fulfill the same mission to increase the number of happily married couples and lower the divorce rate. Unfortunately, statistics show that 40 to 50 percent of married couples in the United States divorce (apa.org), but Chicago Pastors Reggie and London Royal are ‘Declaring War on Divorce’ with their new book, Married Life: Building a Divorce Proof Marriage (WestBow Press, 2016).

The book was born from the Royals’ infamous Married Life ministry out of Lifeline Church in Cicero (www.marriedlifechicago.com), where they’ve drawn thousands of singles and married couples, young and old, in their mission to increase the number of happily married couples and lower the divorce rate. In the book, they’ve

3. Communicate—uncover and expose what you feel and what you need, and be honest but not hurtful. Remember that hearing isn’t the same as understanding, and that timing is important. In London’s words, “Communication is to marriage what blood is to life!”

“When we got married years ago, says Reggie, we didn’t have all the truths and wisdom keys that we needed. So our hope is that by articulating them in this book, individuals will be able to learn and apply them early on to truly divorce proof a marriage and grow strong together over the years.”

The book was released on September 30th and also coincided with Reggie and London’s 21st wedding anniversary. For more info visit (www.reggieandlondon.com)

Little Anthony grateful for life’s experiences while anticipating many more

By Elaine Hegwood Bowen, M.S.J. Jerome Anthony Gourdine, known as Little Anthony, is 75 years old and enjoying life to the fullest. He reflects on his decades-long career in a new book called “Little Anthony: My Journey, My Destiny,” as he and The Imperials prepare for a concert at Arcada Theatre in neighboring St. Charles, IL, on October 23. Recently, he granted me what turned out to be a delightful interview, which began with Anthony (as we decided I would call him, instead of my choice Mr. Little Anthony), again stating as he had

in his book that he had been touched by the power of the Holy Spirit twice in his life, the first time nearly 40 years ago. Lest his old-time fans think he is now preaching sermons and singing Gospel music, he still sings his signature songs made famous with The Imperials, such as Tears on My Pillow, Two People in the World, Shimmy Shimmy Ko-ko Bop and I’m on the Outside Looking In. But after so many trials and tribulations in his life, Anthony is happy to be able to peacefully fish in Florida and enjoy his wife, children, many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. “What happened to me doesn’t

happen to many people. I physically was touched by the power of the Holy Spirit,” Anthony said. “The first time was in Redondo Beach, California, and speaking about it now brings it back as fresh as if it were yesterday.”

Anthony’s life has been filled with great experiences and sadness, as well, when he had to bury his son Casey.

But other good experiences he says have helped shape him, as he invites even more. “I lived from one adventure to another, and they could have killed me,” he said, while recalling a life of performing, as well as drug use and womanizing. However, he cautions today’s performers against unhealthy living. “Then, I didn’t think that way, and all I wanted to do is hang out and get high and find the ladies. I couldn’t see as a young man where I am now. I have come a long way.”

He recalls hanging out with James Brown, Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry, Marvin Gaye and other singers of the time. But his life on the road and as a superstar beginning in the late 50’s wasn’t all peaches and cream, Anthony admitted. “I should have been bitter and emotional and angry,” he said, as he recounted discrimination on the road, as he and The Imperials trav(Continued on page 18)

LITTLE ANTHONY: My Journey, My Destiny is a great book.

The white kids jumped on the music with such a fury, but the promoters had separated the Black kids from the white kids.

West Side Woman Saves Own Life after Police Don’t Come

By J. Coyden Palmer A woman on the city’s West Side is lucky to be alive after a man broke into her home and sexually assaulted her before being knocked unconscious with a crowbar by the victim.

Angela Ferguson did what security experts say was the best thing: fought for her life after 30-year-old Dorval Grice allegedly entered Ferguson’s residence through an unlatched window in the 1300 block of South Throop on October 17.

Ferguson, 58, said she was awakened by Grice, a neighbor, when he grabbed her hair and began demanding oral sex. After she successfully stopped the attack, the victim went outside to call police, but said it took three calls to 911 before the first officer responded.

She said Grice began assaulting her as soon as he woke her up, and she was fighting with him the entire time of the frightening ordeal. First, she used a beer stein and crashed it against Grice’s head as he was on top of her, Ferguson recounted. The two continued the brutal fight for several minutes as it left both combatants

bloodied, according to a Chicago Police Department spokesperson.

At one point, Ferguson successfully pushed Grice out of her bedroom and she started looking to call for help. But she said he broke through the door and tried to attack her again. At that point, she armed herself with a crowbar she keeps nearby and began beating the suspect repeatedly until he was unconscious.

Local security expert Rick Pere said the woman absolutely did the right thing. A certified Concealed Carry License instructor in Illinois, Pere said the woman used the legal amount of necessary force to stop the attack, which could have resulted in great bodily harm or death. Pere said many people in the United States do not realize citizens are responsible for their own safety, not the police.

“The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2005 that the governments, particularly the police, are not responsible for your safety,” Pere explained. “I think people have this notion that 911 will save you. They are sadly mistaken.

You are responsible for your own wellbeing and those of the ones you love, like children in your home, or when

you’re on the streets. Not everyone is cut out or capable of owning a firearm, so you better arm yourself with something else.”

After a bond hearing for Grice on October 18, prosecutor Brian Grisman said the victim “did what she needed to do.” He said the suspect has been arrested twice before for aggravated robbery and possession of a controlled substance. He appeared in bond court with bruises, lacerations and swelling about his face and is currently being held on a $250,000 bond at the Cook County Jail.

Grisman said when police arrived on the scene around 7 a.m. they found Grice unconscious laying on the bed in the victim’s residence. Police said Ferguson will not be charged with any crime because she stopped assaulting her attacker after he was no longer a threat to her.

Pere said what the woman did was textbook. He said many people come to his classes thinking a gun is the answer to everything; it is just one selfdefense tool, but any time a weapon is used for defense, the user needs to be cognizant of the law or they will be in big trouble.

Blacks Must control their own coMMunity

WEARING A MUHAMMAD ALI t-shirt, Dorval Grice, 30, got himself knocked unconscious with a crowbar by a 58-year-old woman after he allegedly sexually assaulted her in her University Village residence earlier this week. In addition to being treated for his injuries, he is being held in Cook County Jail on a $250,000 bond.

“She stopped beating him with the crowbar when he was no longer a threat to her life. According to the law that is exactly what you do. People can go over the top, and that’s what lands you in prison,” Pere said.

The CPD would not comment on why it took three calls to 911 before an officer arrived, but said they will look into the matter. The 12th District police station is less than two blocks from where the attack took place.
