THE CITY
City blocked from using prison labor for Hyde Park demolition PROPOSAL RAISES QUESTIONS ABOUT POLITICS AND PRISONERS’ RIGHTS by Ken J. Makin Special to UrbanProWeekly AUGUSTA When the Augusta Commission voted down a proposal to use inmate labor for demolition in Hyde Park, it appeared to be the end of a lengthy debate. As it turns out, it may be the beginning of a series of inquiries – including how commissioners work together, along with questions about prisoners’ pay and rights. Last Tuesday, commissioners voted down a proposal to remove close to 100 vacant homes in the Hyde Park neighborhood. Commissioners Dennis Williams, Andrew Jefferson, Ben Hasan and Sammie Sias were in favor of the proposal, while Marion Williams and Bill Fennoy abstained. Sean Frantom,
Mary Davis, Wayne Guilfoyle and Grady Smith were opposed. Dennis Williams, the District 2 Commissioner, questioned whether opposing commissioners voted for the “overall good.” “If you’re not able to make a decision that’s based upon the good of the entire community, that’s a problem,” Williams said. “You have to be a representative of all people. …Stop putting groups and organizations in front of (your vote).” The Hyde Park proposal pitted contractors and union workers against inmate labor. Opposition to the proposal included a small group of union workers led by former commissioner Moses Todd. City officials in favor of using inmate labor saw it as an opportunity to save money, explained City Administrator
Janice Jackson. “The conversation among (commissioners) was really about the most cost-effective and efficient way to perform the demolition,” Jackson said. “We actually use inmate labor a lot. We contract with the Richmond County Correctional Institute, which houses state prisoners who are near the end of their term.” Jackson added that the state partially reimburses the city for inmates’ medical insurance and other expenses, and the “trade off” is the use of prison labor. “They augment our staff and do some basic park maintenance,” she said. With exception to a few commercial properties, the city has acquired “just about every property” in Hyde Park, according to the city administrator.
In the aftermath of the commission’s decision, it is likely that the city will continue the bidding process for the demolition. Both Williams and Jackson stated that wages for prison labor are fixed by state law. Prison labor has been the source of protest across the country in recent months. The Prison Policy Initiative found that the average inmate’s wage is 93 cents an hour — and can go as low as 16 cents — when they’re employed by private companies that use prison labor. Last September, prisoners launched a nationwide protest and labor strike. In South Carolina, the focus was on meager wages. In California, the focus was on discrimination, and in Michigan, the focus was on excessive force.
Use of prison labor had origins post Civil-War South
Members of a southern chain gang around 1903.
The proliferation of prison labor camps grew during the Reconstruction era following the Civil War, a time when southern states established large prisons throughout the region that they quickly filled, primarily with black men. Many of these prisons had very recently been slave plantations, Angola and Mississippi State Penitentiary (known as Parchman Farm) among them. Other prisons began convict-leasing programs, where, for a leasing fee, the state would lease out the labor of incarcerated workers as hired work crews. Convict leasing was cheaper than slavery, since farm owners and companies did not have to worry at all about the health of their workers. In this new era of prison industry, the criminal “justice” system, the state determined the size of
the worker pool. Scores of recently freed slaves and their descendants now labored to generate revenue for the state under a Jim Crow regime. Didn’t the Thirteenth Amendment abolish all forms of slavery and involuntary servitude in this country? Not quite. In the shining promise of freedom that was the Thirteenth Amendment, a sharp exception was carved out. Section 1 of the Amendment provides: “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.” Simply put: Incarcerated persons have no constitutional rights in this arena; they can be forced to work as punishment for their crimes.

Demetrius Shipp Jr. plays Tupac Shakur in the biopic “All Eyez on Me”
By Tre’vell Anderson Tupac is polarizing. To some, the rapper-turned-actor was a mother-loving prophet and poet whose life was cut short. To others, he was a hardcore gangster whose chosen lifestyle, replete with guns, drugs and sexual assault allegations, dictated that death by drive-by shooting at 25 was probable. But to Demetrius Shipp Jr., who plays Tupac Shakur in the biopic “All Eyez on Me” — due in theaters on June 16, what would’ve been the rapper’s 46th birthday — he was just a product of his environment, complex and complicated like everyone else. “They’ll judge you by what you do, but they never know what you had to choose from,” Shipp said. “Like [producer] L.T. Hutton says, ‘The objective of this movie is to show you how he ended up in the car that night.’” “All Eyez on Me,” titled after the last album Tupac released while alive, is set to be one of the summer’s standouts. In the vein of 2015’s “Straight Outta Compton,” which charted the
rise of rap group N.W.A, “Eyez” aims to chronicle the impact the Harlemborn artist had on the music scene. (Earlier this year he was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.) Alongside Shipp, the film stars Danai Gurira (“The Walking Dead”), Kat Graham (“The Vampire Diaries”) and Jamal Woolard (“Notorious”). And though the role is Shipp’s first acting gig, some might say it was ordained by the universe. The 28-yearold bears an uncanny resemblance to the performer, something Shipp has been told since high school. “I went to school in Long Beach and all the seniors I used to kick it with called me Pac,” he said, smiling. Acting had never been a goal for him, but when an open audition for the movie was announced in 2011, it was Shipp’s best friend and cousin who encouraged him to submit a tape online. While working at Dish Network “climbing on top of roofs and installing satellites” to pay the bills, Shipp aspired to be a music producer, like his father.
As the final day to submit auditions approached, Shipp decided to take a shot. After spending the day watching old interviews of Tupac online, he recorded his monologue and uploaded it to Facebook. When his father, who produced Pac’s “Toss It Up,” saw it, he forwarded the video to Hutton, whom he had worked with at Death Row. That got the ball rolling and four years later — after shaving himself bald, getting his nose pierced, seeing production stall to the point of taking the nose ring out, growing his hair back, and taking a series of acting classes — he booked the role. Shipp’s favorite scenes were with Annie Ilonzeh, who plays Kidada, the daughter of Quincy Jones and actress Peggy Lipton, who was engaged to Tupac at the time of his death. “Because it shows a Pac that you can’t see anywhere else. It’s not on Youtube,” he said. “You can’t see what it was like for him to be romantic with a woman. That’s a great texture in the movie that people I think will enjoy.”
As for the toughest scene, perhaps predictably that would be the fatal Las Vegas drive-by shooting. “I wanted it to be over fast,” he said. “I was like, ‘Dude, how many different angles are we going to shoot this from?’ because it was an emotional thing more than anything.” While Shipp is very much aware that fans of the rapper have very high expectations of his performance, he says he cares more about the responses of “the people who put this together and knew him and lived with him and walked with him,” he said. “If they are telling me that I’m delivering and capturing the essence of him, that’s what means the most to me. That’s real and you can’t fake that, and they’re not going to.” But what about that long-held conspiracy theory that the rapper faked his own death and is living la vida loca in Cuba? Shipp doesn’t buy it. “A man like that would never just be able to be silent for this amount of time.”

A graduation tale Eboneé Edwards’ experience is typical of many in our community. It underscores strong family ties and also reminds us of the need to protect our historically black colleges and universities.

By Vincent Hobbs Eboneé Edwards certainly knows how to work a room. Confident and welcoming, Edwards glides from table to table, greeting family members and friends who have gathered in a dimly-lit meeting space, a venue accentuated with colorful light beams emanating from the DJ booth, to celebrate a double-
event – her birthday and college graduation. “Hey family!” she calls out to a table of sharply-dressed attendees, beaming a brilliantly warm smile that is most likely a contributing factor to global warming. Hug after hug, Edwards makes sure that no one is left out of her sparkling arrival to the party that celebrates her achievement of graduation from
college. The delicious aroma of a traditional southern feast wafts across the room, and people line up to dine on baked and fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, dinner rolls, green beans and other delicacies in honor of Edwards. The DJ spins some old school beats and the party gears up for the Electric Slide as old and young began their footwork on the
dance floor. It was a magical night for the Claflin University newly-degreed alumnus. And no one would ever realize that Edwards was battling the fatigue of a cold the entire night. “I put on my poker face!” she laughed. UPW spent some time with Edwards to learn more about her graduation story.

UPW: Where did you attend high school in Augusta? Were you involved in any school activities? EDWARDS: I attended Augusta Christian Schools until the second semester of my junior year. I was a member of the French club and also a track athlete. I ran the 100-meter, 200-meter, 4x100-meter relay and the 4x400 relay. I was home-schooled during the second semester of my junior and during my entire senior year. I graduated in May of 2013. UPW: What was a major factor in your decision to attend Claflin University? Edwards: Claflin was not my first decision, but after visiting the school during a college visit, I saw how some of the instructors had major connections with major news networks such as CNN and that’s how I knew I wanted to go into news. Dr. Willie L. Frazier, who lives in Augusta and is on Claflin Board of Trustees, was a major influence. He took me under his wing and helped me through my college experience. Dr. Frazier is the most helpful, dependable, awesome man and he looks out for all the Claflin students, especially those from the Augusta area.

The freedom UPW: Did you always want to become a TV of not answering to parents was the best and the news reporter/anchor? independence of making my own choices made my whole college experience amazing.

We Edwards: The most difficult thing I faced as a college student was losing my nana during my second semester as a junior. After her passing, I didn’t feel like going to classes, but my spiritual beliefs, which my nana instilled, pushed me to get back on track and continue. UPW: Tell us about some of the organizations that you joined while at Claflin. Edwards: The organizations that I joined while at Claflin were the Young Democrats of America (YDA), Miss SRC South (freshman year), The Sociology Club, and Alpha Kappa Psi Professional Business Fraternity (South Carolina Claflin University graduate Eboneé Edwards State University).

A trip to the allergist confirmed that I’m allergic to dogs and cats. UPW: In your opinion, what is the significance of the role that media plays in American society? Edwards: The media plays a huge role in American society, especially knowing what is going on in today’s world. For example, the media can expose the unethical things that happen in politics and all of the injustice that is happening to the black community. The media has all of the constitutional rights, such as Freedom of the Press, to talk about these issues and make awareness for people to know what is going on around them. UPW: Do you have a favorite media personality? Edwards: Yes, Oprah Winfrey because she has paved the way for a lot of women of color to have impactful shows just like her - such as the talk show The Real. UPW: Several of the women in your family also graduated from HBCU’s – tell us about them. Edwards: My mom, Kiki Edwards, graduated from Benedict College and she works for the Richmond County School System. My aunt, Kiluana Edwards Ware, graduated from Albany State University and she is a nurse practitioner. Also, my nana Morizella Edwards graduated from Vorhees College and she worked for Title 1 with the Richmond County School System.

MAKIN’ A DIFFERENCE COMMENTARY by Ken Makin STOP TUNING IN TO “TRUMP TV”
The Donald’s dominance of the news cycle blocks out black issues I
remember the “good old days,” more than a year before the 2016 presidential election. Back then, the Democrats had Hillary and Bernie as party candidates. The Republicans had a 17-candidate circus. It was at that particular time that I noticed a disconcerting phenomenon about one of the Republican players — Donald Trump. Mass media literally played up anything Trump did as if it were relevant. Here were some of the headlines between the time Trump announced he was running for President in June of 2015 and when he secured the Republican presidential nomination: • Report: Donald Trump campaign paid actors $50 to come to his presidential announcement • White supremacist groups credit surging interest to Donald Trump: ‘He’s certainly creating a movement’ • Fox News, CNN, MSNBC all broadcast Trump’s empty podium instead of Clinton’s big speech
LETTERS Dear UPW Editor, Predictably Republican president Donald Trump’s first major budget proposal maintains the status quo of benefitting the wealthiest Americans, punishing the poor, and stealthily funds the massive influx of both legal and illegal immigrants. According to a May 21, 2017, Chicago Tribune article, titled, ‘Trump to propose big cuts to safety net in new budget this week, “The budget proposal will include massive cuts to Medicaid and call for changes to anti-poverty programs.” Medicaid will be cut by more than $800 billion over 10 years. Also, there will be proposed changes to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The SNAP is the modern version of food stamps. An
Headlines ranged from surreal to really ridiculous, yet the focus on Trump rightly raised concerns in my mind. Why? Because we live in an era of extremism. Everything is “all or nothing.” We like our news extreme. Our sports opinions – extreme. Politics is one of the most extreme genres of all. Long before the media understood that it could make money off of this extremism, Trump knew he could ride the wave of media absurdity to the White House. Good news? Bad news? It doesn’t matter. It’s all about moving the needle. People think angry white folks helped Trump gain the presidency. They are partially right. Let’s look at the facts, though. Angry white folks put their money behind Tea Partiers, which turned the Republican Party into the Teapublican Party. Even with their successful hijacking, though, these affluent bigots needed a charismatic leader with influence.
They found that leader in Trump. And Trump was fueled by the media. This brand of news, “fake news,” we’ll call it, continues to dominate the press cycle. It is headline news, even as the Black community continues to deal with issues that threaten our lives and livelihoods. Economic disparities. Police brutality. Lack of political influence despite figureheads with Black skin. These dynamics rarely make it to the front page of the news. If they do, they are bound by traditional stereotypes and lack deep thinking. The Trump media storm is so overwhelming, in fact, that even his administration overshadows the Black agenda. Take Betsy Devos’ commencement speech at Bethune-Cookman University (B-CU). An understanding of the Black agenda in regards to our colleges and universities is an understanding of the need for funding in our schools. That understanding also extends to the importance of
retaining our schools, as these institutions empower students socially and economically. All of that was lost when B-CU students (rightfully) booed Devos. The conversation went away from what our schools and students need, and went back to a familiar name – Trump. We can’t afford to lose our focus on our community and on concerns facing the Black community. Too often, we get lost in personalities and lose our sight on policies. This is why we’re so afraid of folks like Attorney General Jeff Sessions – and with good reason. Sessions recently restored “War on Drugs” policies that trigger mandatory minimum sentences. In other words, the Justice Department wants to get “tough on drugs” again, even though we know that’s only an excuse to throw Black people in jail by the thousands. These are perilous times for our Continued on next page
Trump’s Budget great for the rich average of 44 million people received SNAP benefits in 2016, down from a peak of 47 million in 2013.” Moreover, the article says, “This budget continues to reveal President Trump’s true colors: His populist campaign rhetoric was just a Trojan horse to execute long-held, hard-right policies that benefit the ultra-wealthy at the expense of the middle class.” As a matter of fact, a key element of the budget will be tax cuts which are nothing but welfare entitlements for the rich. As stated in the article, “The tax cuts would particularly benefit the wealthiest Americans, as Trump has proposing cutting the estate tax, capital gains and business tax rates.” Conversely, when it comes to the
lower class and poor, the administration is not so generous. According to the article, shortly after being sworn in, Trump said, “We want to get our people off welfare and back to work.” In America, ‘our people’ is a code for our N-words. Nevertheless, this particular Republican talking point is misleading because it implies only the unemployed receive welfare, which is not true. Many who receive government assistance are employed, but are eligible for assistance because they are exploited by the rich who own day labor agencies, temporary agencies, retailers, and hospitality businesses that pay low wages. Furthermore, other unscrupulous employers sponsor illegal immigrants who are willing to work quietly for exploitation wages rath-
er than be deported. These exploitative wage schemes enable predominately white upper level supervisors, managers, and executives to line their pockets and live comfortably. The truth is the budget is a method to redistribute taxpayer dollars to the top one percent. Greedy politicians of both major political parties love the welfare racket and the practice of labor exploitation. They, along with their corporate supporters, are the primary beneficiaries. After all, the economy of the United States has prospered from labor exploitation beginning with indentured servants, then enslaved Africans, and now low wage workers. Kevin Palmer, Martinez, GA,
