The Bulloch County Branch of the NAACP will host a 2021 MLK Day Drive-in Community Service at Mill Creek Regional Park this Monday at 6 p.m. The celebration operates alongside the annual parade, which will begin at 2 p.m on the same day and begin at Oliff Street in Statesboro. Participants to the drive-in will be directed to set parking spots by signs and volunteers and will be given a radio station to tune into for the drive-in audio. As Bulloch County NAACP Branch President Delinda Gaskin said, the “variety of speakers will appear and be heard ‘some live, some virtual’.” Participants are able to decorate their vehicle if they choose, but they are encouraged to stay in their car for the entirety of the event for safety reasons. Bishop Sharma D. Lewis will be the keynote speaker this year, and the focus of the event will be on ongoing struggles for justice, with some specific thoughts for 2022, Gaskins said. Another opportunity for celebration includes a Youth Council Brunch at 10:30 at Pittman Park Methodist Church with tickets at $15 a piece. As for Georgia Southern’s own celebration, there is Eagles in Action: MLK Legacy of Service on January 15-17. This event is a twoand-a-half day program that allows participants to connect MLK’s legacy with the completion of various service projects. Speaker Francys Johnson will visit the Statesboro campus on January 25 at 6 p.m at the Student Union Ballroom, and Speaker Amir-Jamal Touré will visit the Armstrong campuses at 6 p.m on January 26 at the Nessmith Lane Center Ballroom. More information for these events can be found for these events on the Georgia Southern website.

THE FIRST MLK DAY | January 16, 1986

M.L. KING COMMITTED TO A DREAM BY BEKKI SHRIVER 1986 George-Anne staff

Thirty-five years ago, the South was not the place to be if you were black—or a “Negro” as this group of technically disenfranchised Americans was called back then. Not only were blacks forced to ride in the back of the bus, worship in separate churches, eat in their own restaurants and to suffer other indignities, when they died their remains were taken to all-black funeral homes. Any time a protest was made, reaction was often swift and brutal— a billyclub, a midnight ride among a white-hooded crowd, a church bombing or a lynching. Blacks kept quiet in those days. They stayed in their place. Then there appeared a man with a dream—a man who simply said “enough.” Martin Luther King Jr. was that man, and before an assassin’s bullet ended his short life more than 15 years ago, he was instrumental in setting in motion a force that would radically alter American society. King, born 57years ago yesterday, grew up in a world where public water fountains were labeled “whites only.” Motels, restrooms, lunch counters, schools and even the military were segregated. Blacks were the last hired, the first fired and generally restricted to menial jobs where equal pay and equal opportunity were foreign phrases. A firm believer in the Constitution, King considered it a “promissory note” guaranteeing that all men, black and white, were entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Espousing such ideals, it didn’t take long for King to amass a large following—an army, in fact, of people long weary of discrimination and segregation. King urged his followers to take up the arms of non-violent protest. “America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check . . .marked ‘insufficient funds.’ We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation.

“And so we’ve come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.” Born Jan. 15, 1929, to a Baptist minister and a school teacher, King was an eloquent and precocious child, entering Morehouse College at age 15. His education was completed in 1955 with a Ph.D. in systematic theology from Boston University. While serving as a minister of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Ala., King was to begin a lifetime of devotion to nonviolent agitation for social change. In 1955, Rosa Parks, a black seamstress, refused to give up her seat on the bus to a white person because she was tired. Parks was arrested. A year-long boycott of the public transportation system resulted from Parks’ action, systematically spearheaded by the Montgomery Improvement Association of which King was president. Years of beatings, imprisonment, struggles and soul-searching were to follow as King continued a fight for justice. A trip to India served to move him even closer than he was to an acceptance of Mahatma

Gandhi’s techniques which he considered to be Christianity in action. Deep religious faith and courageous confrontation of evil by the power of love was preached to those who would follow. Classes on nonviolent methods of reaction were held to ready protestors for marches and sit-ins. Demonstrators signed “commitment cards” pledging themselves to the nonviolent movement. “If cursed, do not curse back. If struck, do not strike back, but evidence love and goodwill at all times,” they were told. It didn’t always work. With hundreds of thousands of people agitating for change, violence sometimes bred violence. But national recognition was gained; support was earned. There was the 1963 March on Washington of over 250,000 blacks and whites, protesting discrimination, where King echoed Gandhi in his famous “Have A Dream” speech. There was the letter from Birmingham jail. There were victories—civil rights laws were passed, jobs were opened, facilities gradually integrated. In 1963, King became Time Magazine’s Man of the Year. In 1964 he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, the youngest man in history to receive that honor. King continued working for the poor and oppressed. His final days were spent rallying support for garbage collectors in Tennessee who were striking for better wages and working conditions. The garbage collectors did march, but it was a mournful, silent memorial to their leader who was gunned down on the balcony of the Lorraine Hotel in Memphis, April 4, 1968. Epilogue: Yolanda, Bernice and Martin Luther King III, children of the slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., were arrested at 9:35’ p.m. January 6, 1986. They were protesting the sale of goods manufactured in South Africa at a supermarket in Atlanta. They have a dream.

What to do after exposure BY MORAN BRIDGES The George-Anne staff

As Omicron cases steadily increase across the country, the CDC made updates to quarantine policies Sunday, adjusting isolation periods for those exposed. New guidelines were presented January 9, hinting at shortened quarantine times and new recommendations for masks and isolation in case of COVID-19 exposure. Those unvaccinated and exposed are advised to stay home and quarantine for five full days. During this time, a mask should be worn around others in the home, and they should get tested at least five days after exposure. After

quarantining, they should watch for symptoms and take precautions like masking and avoiding travel and high-risk people until 10 days after exposure. For those fully vaccinated and exposed, no quarantine is needed after exposure unless symptoms arise. If symptoms occur, take precautions until 10 days after exposure. In the case of a positive COVID-19 test, the CDC instructs individuals to stay home for at least five days to keep an eye on symptoms. If severe illness or continued symptoms ensue, the CDC advises those to take precautions until 10 days after exposure. More information about the new COVID-19 guidelines can be found on the CDC website.

On Monday, former University of Buffalo quarterback Kyle Vantrease announced that he would transfer to Georgia Southern. Vantrease, originally a three-star quarterback out of Ohio, started 26 games in a four-year span for the Bulls. During his time at Buffalo, Vantrease completed just over 59% of his passes for 4,757 yards, 25 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. On the ground, he added an additional 13 touchdowns. The addition of Vantrease will add competition to an interesting quarterback room in Statesboro. Vantrease will battle Cam Ransom and Justin Tomlin for the starting job throughout the offseason.

Publix resumes construction for Fall ‘22 open date BY MORGAN BRIDGES The George-Anne staff

Returning from the winter break, you may have noticed some progress being made at the Publix construction site. In lieu of the ground-breaking of May 2021, construction of the Statesboro Publix came to a halt at the latter half of last year, leaving the community in the dark in terms of its progress and future. More construction began just ahead of the new year, including leveling for the structure’s

foundation and the creation of new entryways. This 66,000 square foot shopping center will also house up to five shops and two buildings, previously reported by The George-Anne. Despite setbacks due to the ongoing pandemic, the estimated opening remains the same. A new sign just off of Veterans Memorial Parkway displays its originally-planned fall 2022 opening date, putting much local worry to rest. The community can now plan for the new Publix to come to Statesboro sooner rather than later.

WE ASKED YOU:

What are your thoughts on justice after recent BLM-related trials system,” said GA Southern student Loren Shepherd. “It’s good though that justice was The acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse, the conviction finally served and the men who killed Ahmaud of three men in the murder of Ahmaud Arbery Arbery in cold blood have been convicted.” and the jury verdict that white supremacists Other students completely disagreed with must pay damages for the violent Charlottesville outcomes of at least one of the cases, specifically demonstrations have caused civil unrest among the verdict of the Rittenhouse case. The the public with rather strong opinions on either prospect of self-defense and gun regulations side. Students and staff across both campuses too stood as a point of debate for many, which shared their own thoughts on these recent cases, sparked a further controversy concerning showing a similar division. Many of them found morality in America. I believe justice is being hope in the progression demonstrated by these served with the other two cases, but it makes trials, but there was still a resolve on progress that me feel that we go one step forward and two was yet to be made. steps back. Yes justice is being served for many, Two out of three is a good start, but we have to but again how does a murderer walk free?” BY MORGAN BRIDGES The George-Anne staff

look at the systems in place that have allowed for vigilantism to flourish, that kept the charges of murder for Ahmaud Arbery delayed, and gave space for the Charlottesville demonstrators to move into violent actions,” said GS faculty member Lisa Abbott. “I am hopeful that we are moving away from just turning a blind eye to injustice, but that change will not be easy.”

It’s crazy to me how Kyle Rittenhouse actually got let off for self defense when there were so many other questions that should’ve been raised overall,” one GS student said. “It shouldn’t have taken that long for Ahmaud Arbery to get justice, but hey that’s our country for you.”

I believe that the conviction of the three men who murdered Ahmaud Arbery opposed how the media negatively portray America’s judical system, especially their depiction of it after the acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse,” an Armstrong student said. “I hope both cases give hope to both right, left and center politically that our government gives everyone a fair trial, that it follows the facts and the law no matter your color or creed.”

The Kyle Rittenhouse case was a circus; there were many missteps during the trial,” another GS student said. “Personally, there should have been no reason for that young man to be carrying an AR even if it was for “protection.” The Ahmaud Arbery case showcased how the justice system should be. Those men committed a calculated crime that cost the life of a young man. Any person committing a crime should pay the price of restitution and damage.”

These verdicts show that our justice system is slowly improving after the summer protests of 2020 but we still have a way to go,” said Joe Rocheleau, a GS student. “When a judge says a prosecutor can’t call those who Rittenhouse killed “victims” it shows a clear contempt for human life.” “It’s upsetting that the police, those who are supposed to protect and serve, often put the best interests of the people below their personal feelings and that racism is so intrinsic in the justice

A few students agreed collectively with all three verdicts, despite their lingering reserves. “I do have some questions regarding the felony murder doctrine application in [the Ahmaud Arbery] case,” said online Southern student Michael Humber. “Initially, I wasn’t sure how the citizens arrest issue would weaken the prosecution’s case but the testimony of the defendant shooter took care of that concern.”

Feeling 2022 How to finally stick to your New Year’s resolutions

BY LAUREN SABIA The George-Anne staff

Welcome back Georgia Southern! We hope you are feeling 2022 just as much as Taylor Swift and all of us here at the Reflector. Have you curated your New Year’s resolutions and goals yet? Fresh starts, new beginnings and a lot of self reflection, whether you like it or not, comes with the territory of January 1st. However, New Year’s resolutions can quickly become disappointing when you only go to the gym for the first week and then forget about all of your promises to better yourself by Valentine’s Day. Some set their resolutions and stick to them all year, some set way too many so they fail and some do not even believe in New Year’s resolutions at all. Whether you fall into any of these categories, here are some tips on how to finally stick to them and start this year off right.

Make sure your resolutions are realistic. Setting too many resolutions can make it harder to focus on any of them because you are spread too thin. Having three resolutions that you manage to

Page designed by Jalen Austin

achieve by the end of the year is a lot more rewarding than only partially achieving your list of 15. Also, going from never working out to going to the gym for two hours everyday might not be realistic for everyone. Reflect on yourself when creating your resolutions to make sure they are practical for YOU. If you have a larger goal, like “get in shape”, break it into smaller goals to make it more achievable and measurable. For example, one goal can be to cut back on soda, one can be to go on walks four times a week. These both help work towards the larger goal of getting in shape, but they are easier to track through the year.

Write them down and look at it often. Whether you put them on a reminder app, write them on your mirror or list them at the front of your notebook, getting your resolutions on paper is like speaking them into existence. Try looking back at your resolutions list monthly, or even weekly, to see what can be done today to further achieve your goal. Make sure your list is somewhere you can easily check in on them so you never forget when life gets busy.

Bonus points if you have an accountability buddy to check in on your progress with each resolution. Sharing with someone that has similar goals or that you trust can lift spirits and keep you motivated.

Stay positive. Track your progress and reward yourself at certain checkpoints. Celebrate the little wins and be your own cheerleader as you work towards bettering yourself. Maybe it is August and you realize you have not worked on your goal to get into shape for the past month. That is okay, it is never too late to get back into it and it does not mean that you failed to complete the resolution. You do not have to wait until 2023 to try again. Remember that nothing can change overnight. It will take hard work to shake a bad habit or add a new one into your routine. Failure is okay, in fact it is normal. Setbacks are normal. Resolutions are not a requirement set by society, and they do not define a person’s worth or ability if not completed. However, they sure are fun when you can look back at the end of the year proudly because you achieved all that you hoped for. Good luck and happy New Year!

WORDS WE SHOULD STOP USING BY JACOB SMITH Reflector staff

ticks and stones may break our bones but words will never hurt us, right? Not to doubt the wisdom of childhood proverbs, but words can hurt. The words we use in our everyday lives affect others deeply. They affect how we view others and how others view themselves. Oftentimes the effects of our words are not immediately apparent, but rather show themselves through our culture and social norms. It is especially important to note that this is not just a general societal phenomenon. Everything from the country you live in to your local friend group is built on the back of words. Inside jokes that would get you in trouble outside your friend group, insults as a way to show affection, and topics you avoid for your friends’ sakes are all built on an understanding of what your words mean and how you use them. It is because words hold such power that it is important to examine how we use them. Are there words we should no longer use?

hen asked about words that may be dated, discriminatory, or offensive, Takeshia Brown, Director of The Office of Multicultural Affairs here at Georgia Southern, believes, “It’s important to acknowledge that a lot of those words, depending upon who’s using the words, the context in which the words are used, still hold offensive feelings, still hold connotations that could be problematic hurtful or cause malicious intent,” but she is “cautious with putting a blanket statement out that says we should ban certain things.” She believes that simply banning words would prevent necessary conversation. In a sense, getting people to understand why some words shouldn’t be used is equally as important as getting them to stop using them. Brown also pointed out that some communities have successfully reclaimed some terms, and now wear them as a badge of honor or term of endearment. Queer, the Q in LGBTQ, was originally a term used to deride others. It’s original usage carried the meaning of “perverse” or “weird” but now is used as an identifier by those it was once meant to discriminate against.

eclaimed terms are an example of evolution in our language. This evolution is necessary and natural for any language. It is in this manner that language can better reflect the culture of modern times. Of course, whether or not those terms should be reclaimed or not are usually up to the communities Page designed by Jalen Austin

affected by them. Some examples of words that likely will not be reclaimed are “Redskins” or “Eskimo” as both are derogatory and are applied to people who already have proper identifiers in the first place, various Native American tribes and the Inuit people respectively. While some terms or phrases have had their connotations changed over time, others have been edited to better reflect the times. The phrase “eenie meenie miney mo” seems innocent enough at first, but have you ever wondered why the rhyme calls for you to “grab a tiger by the toe?” Before children were tasked with somehow grabbing the toe of a deadly cat, the version of the rhyme most popular among schoolchildren during the late 1800’s instead used the n-word. For obvious reasons, this version is not as popular today. Though “eenie meenie miney mo” is a further example of the evolution of language, as there are numerous variations on the rhyme. Some with more lines, others with less. In fact the origins of the rhyme are unclear and clearly predate its earliest recordings since they were first documented in New York, Scotland, Ireland and other countries with similar nonsense words.

“it’s important to acknowledge that a lot of those words, depending upon who’s using the words, the context in which the words are used, still hold offensive feelings, still hold connotations that could be problematic hurtful or cause malicious intent,” TAKEISHA BROWN

Director of The Office of Multicultural Affairs

talking about people with disabilities. Rather than refer to someone as an alcoholic or a diabetic, you instead might choose to say “person with diabetes” or “person who suffers from alcoholism.” It may seem small, but even a minor change in how people are referred to can change perceptions. However, there is another side to this coin. Brown brought up that, “some people who identify as a disabled person will tell you that they want their identity to be labeled as a part of who they are.” She believes this to be an example of how we should let other people lead us in how they want to be treated and identified.

t all comes down to being considerate and open minded. Instead of stubbornly refusing to censor yourself or immediately banning certain words, allow yourself to listen to others. Be willing to learn how to talk to people. Words are tools, each with their own uses. You don’t hammer a screw or drill a nail. You learn which tool is appropriate for the situation you’re in and act upon that knowledge. If everyone were to stop and listen to each other, you might find the world a more peaceful place.

Popular words and phrases with negative connotations “Queer”

The Q in LGBTQ, was originally a term used to deride others.

“Redskins” or “Eskimo”

Both are derogatory and are applied to people who already have proper identifiers.

caling things back once more to personal levels, it is important to note how much context and personal choice matter when talking about words. You might be close enough with your friends to casually call each other idiots, but if you were to The version of the rhyme most greet some stranger by calling them an idiot, it would popular among schoolchildren undoubtedly be very rude. Context matters, and it takes time to get to know someone or interact with during the late 1800’s instead them to understand that context. You aren’t going to used the n-word. be making jokes about car accidents if your friend just got into one. Being considerate and aware of others is important. It is this consideration that has led to some pushing for “people-first language” when To contact the editor, email gaeditor@georgiasouthern.edu
