Augusta native to be honored at the ATL Actors Awards Show ATLANTA Mark V. Oliphant will be among a number of Atlanta’s booming film industry’s rising stars to be honored at the 2018 Atlanta (ATL) Actors Awards Show. The event will take place on Sunday, April 15th 2018 at 8pm at the Porter Sanford Performing Arts Theatre, 3181 Rainbow Drive, Decatur, GA 30032. Raised in Wrens and later in Augusta, Oliphant has appeared in a number of films, including Greenleaf, Tyler Perry’s For Better or Worse, Fatal Attraction, The Question of Faith & TBS’ The Detour. He also appeared in a number of regional and national television commercials, including ESPN’s 2015 Taxslayer.com Gator Bowl & the 2017 National Geo Spelling Bee on the National Geographic Channel. A 1985 graduate of T.W. Josey, Oliphant also co-starred in up and coming comedy motion picture Dirty South House Arrest with Rodney Perry, DC Yung Fly, Pierre Edwards, LaTavia Roberson & Emmanuel Hudson, which was honored during the ATL Actors Awards in 2017. This is Oliphant’s first award during his career he began in Augusta 21 years ago performing in local and regional stage plays as a hobby just six years after graduating from Morehouse College. “I am deeply humbled and honored to have been selected by Mr. Harris and the ATL Actors Awards selection committee for this honor,” said Oliphant. “Its truly a blessing

to be recognized by your peers for doing what you truly love. This affirms that I’m traveling down the right path, following my heart, discovering my voice and taking a walk of faith. It is my hope and prayer that my work and efforts will continue to impact all who witness and experience it in a positive way.” Oliphant, began his acting career in Augusta in 1997 performing in a murder mystery stage play “House Without Windows” produced by his mentor Maxine Nesbitt (In the Heat of the Night, Mississippi Burning, Skeleton Key) & the late J.C. Taylor. Since returning to Atlanta in 2000, Oliphant surged into Atlanta’s growing film industry during its infancy, having paid his dues working as a background extra for a number of years then as a body-double stand-in for famed actors such as Ice Cube on films Lottery Ticket, Ride Along & Barbershop 3: The Next Cut; Wendell Pierce on HBO movie Confirmation: The Clarence Thomas Story, and Greg Alan Williams on ABC drama series Containment. The star-studded, red carpet event, presented by Kelvin “K-Chill” Harris, CEO of ChillZone Entertainment, honors both major and local up and coming actors and industry professionals, celebrating their achievements. The ATL Actors Awards will feature some of Atlanta film industry’s (bka ATLWOOD) both best and rising personalities as well as performances by recording artists, including Tabitha Duncan of R&B group KUT KLOSE, rap group

Mark Oliphant The Crowd Pleasers (TCP). Encouraged by the sold-out inaugural 2017 ATL Actors Awards, Harris decided to move it forward into an annual event. “When I created the ATL Actors Awards, I wanted to make it afford-

able for my people,” said Harris, a former rap artist who is currently a community humanitarian. “This even will be the closest experience to the Oscars for many who won’t get to attend. So why go to ‘Hollywood’ when you can be in ‘ATLWOOD’ watching your people shine? After all, Georgia is now the number one filming location in the world.” The event will also feature during the Red Carpet arrivals of honorees and show participants the “ATL Actors Awards Talk Show” produced and hosted by actress and film producer Vivian Collins (Greenleaf, Shots Fired, Underground & Johnson Family Vacation) & Greenleaf castmate Julian Brittano. “This year promises to be a spectacular event,” said Collins. “I’m so honored that Mr. Harris hand-picked me to produce and host this talk show.” Tickets are $50 general admission and $100 VIP admission and are selling out fast.

COMMENTARY by Cornel West

Martin was a radical: WE MUST NOT STERILIZE DR. KING’S LEGACY If King were alive today, his words would threaten most of those who now sing his praises. The major threat of Martin Luther King Jr to us is a spiritual and moral one. King’s courageous and compassionate example shatters the dominant neoliberal soul-craft of smartness, money and bombs. His grand fight against poverty, militarism, materialism and racism undercuts the superficial lip service and pretentious posturing of so-called progressives as well as the candid contempt and proud prejudices of genuine reactionaries. King was neither perfect nor pure in his prophetic witness – but he was the real thing in sharp contrast to the market-driven semblances and simulacra of our day. In this brief celebratory moment of King’s life and death we should be highly suspicious of those who sing his praises yet refuse to pay the cost of embodying King’s strong indictment of the US empire, capitalism and racism in their own lives. We now expect the depressing spectacle every January of King’s “fans” giving us the sanitized versions of his life. We now come to the 50th anniversary of his assassination, and we once again are met with sterilized versions of his legacy. A radical man deeply hated and held in contempt is recast as if he was a universally loved moderate. These neoliberal revisionists thrive on the spectacle of their smartness and the visibility of their mainstream status – yet rarely, if ever, have they said a mumbling word about what would have concerned King, such as US drone strikes, house raids, and torture sites, or raised their voices about escalating inequality, poverty or Wall Street domination under neoliberal administrations – be the president white or black. The police killing of Stephon Clark in Sacramento may stir them but the imperial massacres in Yemen, Libya or Gaza leave them cold. Why? Because so many of King’s “fans” are afraid.

Martin Luther King is shoved back by Mississippi patrolmen during the 220-mile ‘March Against Fear’ from Memphis, Tennessee to Jackson, Mississippi. Photograph: Underwood Archives/UIG/REX/Shutterstock Yet one of King’s favorite sayings was “I would rather be dead than afraid.” Why are they afraid? Because they fear for their careers in and acceptance by the neoliberal establishment. Yet King said angrily: “What you’re saying may get you a foundation grant, but it won’t get you into the Kingdom of Truth.” The neoliberal soul craft of our day shuns integrity, honesty and courage, and rewards venality, hypocrisy and cowardice. To be successful is to forge a non-threatening image, sustain one’s brand, expand one’s pecuniary network – and maintain a distance from critiques of Wall Street, neoliberal leaders and especially the Israeli occupation of Palestinian lands and peoples. King said angrily, ‘What you’re saying may get you a foundation grant, but it won’t get you into the Kingdom of Truth’ Martin Luther King Jr turned away from popularity in his quest for spiritual and moral greatness – a greatness measured by what he was willing to give up and sacrifice due to his deep love of everyday people, especially vulnerable and precious black people. Neoliberal soul craft avoids risk and evades the cost of prophetic witness, even as it poses as “progressive”. The killing of Martin Luther King Jr was the ultimate result of the fusion

of ugly white supremacist elites in the US government and citizenry and cowardly liberal careerists who feared King’s radical moves against empire, capitalism and white supremacy. If King were alive today, his words and witness against drone strikes, invasions, occupations, police murders, caste in Asia, Roma oppression in Europe, as well as capitalist wealth inequality and poverty, would threaten most of those who now sing his praises. As he rightly predicted: “I am nevertheless greatly saddened … that the inquirers have not really known me, my commitment or my calling.” If we really want to know King in all of his fallible prophetic witness, we must shed any neoliberal soul craft and take seriously – in our words and deeds – his critiques and resistances to US empire, capitalism and xenophobia. Needless to say, his relentless condemnation of Trump’s escalating neo-fascist rule would be unequivocal – but not to be viewed as an excuse to downplay some of the repressive continuities of the two Bush, Clinton and Obama administrations. In fact, in a low moment, when the American nightmare crushed his dream, King noted: “I don’t have any faith in the whites in power responding in the right way … they’ll treat us like they did our Japanese brothers and sisters in World War II. They’ll

throw us into concentration camps. The Wallaces and the Birchites will take over. The sick people and the fascists will be strengthened. They’ll cordon off the ghetto and issue passes for us to get in and out.” These words may sound like those of Malcolm X, but they are those of Martin Luther King Jr – with undeniable relevance to the neo-fascist stirrings in our day. King’s last sermon was entitled Why America May Go to Hell. His personal loneliness and political isolation loomed large. J Edgar Hoover said he was “the most dangerous man in America”. President Johnson called him “a nigger preacher”. Fellow Christian ministers, white and black, closed their pulpits to him. Young revolutionaries dismissed and tried to humiliate him with walkouts, booing and heckling. Life magazine – echoing Time magazine, the New York Times, and the Washington Post (all bastions of the liberal establishment) – trashed King’s anti-war stance as “demagogic slander that sounded like a script for Radio Hanoi”. And the leading black journalist of the day, Carl Rowan, wrote in the Reader’s Digest that King’s “exaggerated appraisal of his own self-importance” and the communist influence on his thinking made King “persona non-grata to Lyndon Johnson” and “has alienated many of the Negro’s friends and armed the Negro’s foes”. One of the last and true friends of King, the great Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel prophetically said: “The whole future of America will depend upon the impact and influence of Dr King.” When King was murdered something died in many of us. The bullets sucked some of the free and democratic spirit out of the US experiment. The next day over 100 American cities and towns were in flames – the fire this time had arrived again! Today, 50 years later the US imperial meltdown deepens. And King’s radical legacy remains primarily among the awakening youth and militant citizens who choose to be extremists of love, justice, courage and freedom, even if our chances to win are that of a snowball in hell! This kind of unstoppable King-like extremism is a threat to every status quo!

Winnie Madikizela-Mandela dead at 81 Ms. Madikizela-Mandela retained a political presence as a member of Parliament, representing the dominant African National Congress, and she insisted on a kind of primacy in Mr. Mandela’s life, no matter their estrangement. Conduit to Her Husband While Mr. Mandela was held at the Robben Island penal settlement, off Cape Town, where he spent most of his 27 years in jail, Ms. MadikizelaMandela acted as the main conduit to his followers, who hungered for every clue to his thinking and well-being. The flow of information was meager, however: Her visits there were rare, and she was never allowed physical contact with him. In time, her reputation became scarred by accusations of extreme brutality toward suspected turncoats, misbehavior and indiscretion in her private life, and a radicalism that seemed at odds with Mr. Mandela’s quest for racial inclusiveness. She nevertheless sought to remain in his orbit. She was at his side, brandishing a victor’s clenched fist salute, when he was finally released from prison in February 1990.

New York Times By Alan Cowella Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, whose hallowed place in the pantheon of South Africa’s liberators was eroded by scandal over corruption, kidnapping, murder and the implosion of her fabled marriage to Nelson Mandela, died early Monday, April 2, in Johannesburg. She was 81. Her death, at the Netcare Milpark Hospital, came “after a long illness, for which she had been in and out of hospital since the start of the year.” Charming, intelligent, complex, fiery and eloquent, Ms. MadikizelaMandela (Madikizela was her surname

at birth) was inevitably known to most of the world through her marriage to the revered Mr. Mandela. It was a bond that endured ambiguously: She derived a vaunted status from their shared struggle, yet she chafed at being defined by him. Ms. Madikizela-Mandela commanded a natural constituency of her own among South Africa’s poor and dispossessed, and the post-apartheid leaders who followed Mr. Mandela could never ignore her appeal to a broad segment of society. In April 2016, the government of President Jacob G. Zuma gave Ms. Madikizela-Mandela one of the country’s highest honors: the Order of Luthuli, given, in part, for contributions to the struggle for democracy.

‘She Who Must Endure’ Nomzamo Winifred Zanyiwe Madikizela was born to a noble family of the Xhosa-speaking Pondo tribe in Transkei. Her first name, Nomzamo, means “she who must endure trials.” Her birth date was Sept. 26, 1936, according to the Nelson Mandela Foundation and many other sources, although earlier accounts gave the year as 1934. As a barefoot child she tended cattle and learned to make do with very little, in marked contrast to her later years of free-spending ostentation. She attended a Methodist mission school and then the Hofmeyr School of Social Work in Johannesburg, where she befriended Adelaide Tsukudu, the future wife of Oliver Tambo, a law partner of Mr. Mandela’s who went on to lead the A.N.C. in exile. She turned down a scholarship in the United States, preferring to remain in South Africa as the first black social worker at the Baragwanath hospital in Soweto. Ms. Madikizela-Mandela was thrust into the limelight in 1964 when her husband was sentenced to life in prison on charges of treason. She was

officially “banned” under draconian restrictions intended to make her a nonperson, unable to work, socialize, move freely or be quoted in the South African news media, even as she raised their two daughters, Zenani and Zindziswa. In a crackdown in May 1969, five years after her husband was sent to prison, she was arrested and held for 17 months, 13 in solitary confinement. She was beaten and tortured. The experience, she wrote, was “what changed me, what brutalized me so much that I knew what it is to hate.” After blacks rioted in the segregated Johannesburg township of Soweto in 1976, Ms. Madikizela-Mandela was again imprisoned without trial, this time for five months. She was then banished to a bleak township outside the profoundly conservative white town of Brandfort, in the Orange Free State. “I am a living symbol of whatever is happening in the country,” she wrote in “Part of My Soul Went With Him,” a memoir published in 1984 and printed around the world. “I am a living symbol of the white man’s fear. I never realized how deeply embedded this fear is until I came to Brandfort.” Contrary to the authorities’ intentions, her cramped home became a place of pilgrimage for diplomats and prominent sympathizers, as well as foreign journalists seeking interviews. Ms. Madikizela-Mandela cherished conversation with outsiders and word of the world beyond her confines. She scorned many of her restrictions, using whites-only public phones and ignoring the segregated counters at the local liquor store when she ordered Champagne — gestures that stunned the area’s whites. To the end, Ms. Madikizela-Mandela remained a polarizing figure in South Africa, admired by loyalists who were prepared to focus on her contribution to ending apartheid, vilified by critics who foremost saw her flaws. Few could ignore her unsettling contradictions, however. “While there is something of a historical revisionism happening in some quarters of our nation these days that brands Nelson Mandela’s second wife a revolutionary and heroic figure,” the columnist Verashni Pillay wrote in the South African newspaper The Mail and Guardian, “it doesn’t take that much digging to remember the truly awful things she has been responsible for.”

Revitalization vs Gentrification Let’s keep our eye on the prize In a March 31, 2018 Augusta Chronicle article, Inner-city initiative expands on several fronts, Hawthorne Welcher Jr., went out of his way to downplay gentrification. No matter the official sounding rhetoric, the Laney-Walker/Bethlehem initiative, the $37.5 million revitalization effort, or Urban Redevelopment, it means gentrification. Gentrification has been around for over 50 years. In 1964, Ruth Glass coined the term gentrification which means, “One by one many of the working class (low income) quarters (neighborhoods) have been invaded by the upper and lower middle class…Once this process of ‘gentrification’ starts in a district it goes rapidly until all or most of the working class occupiers are displaced and the whole social character of the district is changed.” Now, gentrification has a foothold in the Laney-Walker/

Bethlehem district. Moreover, a black director of the city’s Housing and Community Development Department will not make it any easier for low income residents to swallow the bitter pill of gentrification. In America, gentrification is about accommodating the desires of whites since the medium net worth of a white family is $171,000 and $17,000 for a black family. For over 50 years, blacks have always been on the losing end of gentrification. The result will be the same in Augusta. The majority of the $37.5 million will go to white owned construction companies, banks, mortgage companies, retailers and suppliers. Then, middle to upper middle class whites will enjoy their revitalized neighborhood while low income blacks are displaced. Kevin Palmer, Evans, GA,
