A building the Arts Council will purchase could be the future home of the venue and museum BY TODD LUCK THE CHRONICLE

Forsyth County Board of Commissioners approved funding for SciWorks’ move downtown and the Arts Council purchasing a building that could potentially be a future home for New Winston Museum and the National Black Theatre Festival Hall of Fame. Building a new home for the combined SciWorks and Children's Museum on the site of the old Sheriff’s Office was among the bond issues the County Commissioners considered. Instead of putting it

END OF AN ERA

Ebony and Jet now in hands of a little known firm

BY ERICK JOHNSON CHICAGO CRUSADER NNPA

Sitting next to a lake at Oak Woods Cemetery in Woodlawn is a stunning million-dollar marble crypt that contains the remains of John H. Johnson, the founder of his namesake publishing empire that produces Ebony and Jet magazines. It’s been 11 years since America’s first media mogul moved into his final resting place. On the wellmanicured lawns of Oak Woods, some of Johnson’s neighbors are Olympic great Jesse Owens, Chicago’s first black Mayor Harold Washington and other famous blacks who ascended to the pinnacles of sports, politics and business. For Johnson, his fame and fortune would come from the media industry. With little money, he would become a household name from an iconic magazine that would make him a millionaire many, many times over. When he planted his 11-story headquarters on the city’s tony Michigan Avenue in 1972, Johnson established himself as a fearless Black entrepreneur who crashed one of corporate America’s most famous streets. He found a way to build the first black-owned skyscraper in Chicago after a white owner wouldn’t sell him the land underneath. Etched in gold leaf above the ornate doors of Johnson’s crypt is a quote that gives visitors a glimpse of a man who achieved wealth and prestige during a period where

there were few opportunities for blacks: “Failure is a word I don’t accept.” A decade after Johnson’s death, the empire that for 71 years sat on millions of coffee tables with colorful, inspiring stories about black life and culture is a shell of itself. Once a powerful symbol of black pride a n d minority ownership, b o t h Ebony and digital-only Jet are n o w owned by Clear Vi e w Group, a littleknown investm e n t firm in Austin, Te x a s . For a company that refined t h e Black Press, many believe the sale is a sad ending that was years in the making. No longer family-owned, many believed Ebony would never be the same.

on the ballot, they decided to fund it another way. During its Monday, June 27, meeting, the commissioners voted 52 to approve a capital project ordinance dedicating $17.3 million to the project, with County Commissioners Walter Marshall and Richard Linville voting against it. The money largely will come from the sale of surplus county land. Linville thought the amount was too much and opposed the sale of land. Marshall also opposed the sale of county land because the county might need to use it later. SciWorks Director Paul Kortenaar said he expects it to take 18 months for planning and another 30 for construction and moving in to the new combined museum. “We’ll move forward with appropriate haste to build the new museum,” he said. Kortenaar said that $17.3 million will cover the construction but another $3 million will be needed for infrastructure costs later in the project. The museums will be

“For Johnson, his fame and fortune would come from the media industry.”

Publishing would retain the Fashion Fair Cosmetics business — a black venture founded by Eunice Johnson, John H. Johnson’s wife, who died in 2010. It was Eunice who came up with the name Ebony when her husband didn’t like the original name, Negro Digest, which was started in 1942. The new publishing entity,

The funds would’ve made his position a paid one and allowed the program to give additional assistance to those it places.

ECSU reinstated as ‘discount’ UNC school BY CASH MICHAELS FOR THE CHRONICLE

When the state Senate originally proposed several weeks ago to designate struggling Elizabeth City State University (ECSU) as one of three historically black UNC campus schools to introduce a $500 per semester proposal for in-state students in order to boost enrollment, many critics suspect-

ed closing ECSU to be the true motive of the bill. There were concerns that the tuition discount would hit the schools hard, and even though they were promised at least $70 million in the upcoming budget to make up the difference, there were no guarantees in the years to come. Plus, critics alleged, the cheapened tuition could tarnish the image and reputation of the UNC schools involved.

Protests rang up from black lawmakers, the N.C. NAACP, students, alums and supporters of ECSU, in addition to Winston-State University and Fayetteville State University (the other two UNC System schools involved), forcing Sen. Tom Apodaca (R- Hendersonville) to wi thdraw his bill, complaining that his intentions had been misunderstood, and he only wanted help the three

Ebony Media Operations, will also maintain the magazine’s Chicago headquarters and its New York editorial office. Both sides declined to disclose the sale price of Ebony and Jet. However, some Ebony alumni believe Clear View Group bagged Ebony and Jet for a price that would have John H. Johnson rolling over in his grave. The news angered many former Ebony employees. Many believe the sale is another bad business decision that follows years of turnover and mismanagement at the two iconic magazines that lost their original purpose. Filled with fluff and light stories on beauty and fashion,

sources say top executives who lacked the vision and passion of John H. Johnson stripped Ebony and Jet of their soul.

While Johnson Publishing Company’s top brass say the deal ensures the continuation of Ebony and Jet, many blacks bemoan the end of two historic, family-owned publications that shaped and elevated American black culture more than any publication, Black or white. Stories and photos of black Americans and celebrities were often left out of mainstream newspapers and magazines. Model and actress Diahann Carroll made her career debut in Ebony. Billy Dee Williams stopped by the office shortly after filming “Lady Sings the Blues,” with Diana Ross.

The announcement of the purchase was the first of several moves that ushered in a new chapter in Ebony and Jet’s future. Ebony’s current Editor-inChief Kierna Mayo jumped ship to take a position as senior vice president of content and brands at Interactive One. Hours after the announcement, Columbia College Chicago

announced that it was putting the iconic Johnson Publishing headquarters building up for sale. Six years ago, the school purchased the building at 820 S. Michigan from the Johnson family. The deal with Clear View Group capped years of uncertainty and speculation of Ebony and Jet magazines. Both publications were hemorrhaging as they

competed with Essence magazine, a younger Black female-oriented publication that has made big gains on its older rivals. That 46-year-old publication is owned by Time Inc. Still, many black and mainstream publications, have been losing millions of dollars in advertising revenue to the Internet since the late 1990s. On June 23, 2014, Jet magazine — Ebony’s pocketbook-sized sister publication that had been around for 71 years — published its final print edition. Jet, the digital version still exists. Both publications are now under new ownership, but with a deal shrouded in mystery, the future of Ebony and Jet remain uncertain. It’s been reported that Clear View Group is black-owned, but a

search for the owner Michael Gibson, turned up empty. The Crusader was unable to find any information or website on the Clear View Group. There are also questions as to why a black businessman buying Ebony and Jet would refrain from appearing in public to proudly announce the heroic rescue of two iconic magazines. What risks could there be for such a move? Johnson Publishing did not return an email from the Crusader, but in a television interview with Roland Martin on “NewsOne Now,” Rogers remained tight-lipped about Ebony’s new owner. She defended the sale of the iconic magazine, describing it as “extremely important” for Ebony’s sur- D vival.

The commissioners also unanimously approved a $400,000 grant for the Arts Council to purchase a currently vacant 10,000-squarefoot building at 419 Spruce Street. The building is next to UNC School Sparrow Kortenaar of the Arts Stevens Center on Fourth Street downtown and may be used as part of potential expansion of the performance venue. According to Arts Council President Jim Sparrow, the building is being considered as a new home for the New Winston Museum, currently located on South Marshall Street, and the NBTF Hall of Fame. It could act as a shortterm and permanent home for the museums, which are discussing a possible joint operating strategy. He said if the decision is made to use the building for those museums, it could open by the time the NBTF happens next year. “It’s a possibility we could do relatively quickly if that’s something they feel is aligned with what they want to do,” said Sparrow.

Hundreds celebrate Moses ‘Mo’ Lucas at memorial service

Drummers, dancers and steppers from the past and present followed closely behind the hearse carrying Moses “Mo” Lucas during a parade following the memorial service held at Union Baptist Church on Sunday, June 26.

Dr. Larry Little talks about the impact Moses “Mo” Lucas had on the Winston-Salem community during a balloon releasing at Drayton Park on Sunday, June 26. Little also called for the Winston Lake YMCA to be renamed to honor Lucas, who served children through various programs for more than 50 years.

BY TEVIN STINSON THE CHRONICLE

It was standing room only inside Union Baptist Church Sunday afternoon, as more than 400 people gathered to celebrate the life and legacy of one of the city’s most influential members, Moses “Mo” Lucas. Lucas, 89, better known as “Mr. Mo,” passed away Tuesday, June 21, while surrounded by family and friends. Mr. Mo was born in Wilson, but became a legend in Winston-Salem as an employee and volunteer at the Winston Lake and Patterson Avenue YMCA branches. While Lucas wore many hats during his tenure at the Y, including bus driver, deejay and boxing coach just to name a few, he was best known for mentoring hundreds of young men through his drill and step teams that performed in countless parades and events across the state.

A U.S. Army veteran and 1956 graduate of Winston-Salem Teachers College (now WinstonSalem State University, or WSSU), Lucas also played a major role in forming the Youth Incentive Program, The Boss Drummers drum line, the Yettes dance troupe and many other programs at the Y. During the memorial service, elected officials, community leaders and residents of all ages sat shoulder to shoulder as city native Bishop Todd Fulton delivered the eulogy. Fulton, who spent time at the Y growing up, said his entire life Lucas fought the good fight. “Mo said, finish the fight,” he continued. “Five generations here today prove that he fought the good fight, and we have to finish what he started.” Fulton said Lucas was the type of person who would give his last to make sure children in the community had what they needed. He noted, “Lucas

taught hundreds of young African-American boys and girls that they could be anything they wanted to be if they kept God first and stayed out of trouble. “Mo Lucas came home from the war but he continued to fight for youth in this community. Long before grants and scholarships, Mo took what he hadand made what he wanted,” Fulton said. “Although the odds were against him, he kept fighting. We have to keep the faith, that’s what Mo Lucas would tell us today. Even when it doesn’t look good, we have to keep the faith, and continue to fight for the youth in this community.” Mayor Pro Tempore Vivan H. Burke presented Lucas’ family with a proclamation from Mayor Allen Joines. Burke announced Lucas’ named would be added to a monument in Evergreen Cemetery where other local greats are listed. Following the service, a

parade led by the hearse carrying the iconic Lucas made its way to Drayton Pine Parkon West 14th Street, where dozens of balloons were released to honor Lucas. Steppers, drummers and dancers from the past and present followed closely behind, while hundreds more lined the sidewalk, thanking Lucas. Dr. Larry Little, WSSU associate professor of political science and longtime community activist, urged the community to start a campaign to have the Winston Lake Y renamed the Mo Lucas Family YMCA. Little also called for a street to be renamed to honor Lucas. “We are going start a petition to see that these changes are made,” he said. “We have to keep Mr. Lucas’ spirit alive. Although he is no longer with us, we have the responsibility to ensure his legacy lives on forever.”

Nearly 100 help honor community leaders Dorothy Bonner, Left, is presented the 2016 Grassroots Leadership Award during the “We’ve Got Roots” celebration hosted by Neighbors for Better Neighborhoods on Saturday, June 25.

By TEViN STiNSON THE CHRONiCLE

For the last five years, Neighbors for Better Neighborhoods (NBN) has honored community leaders during their “We’ve Got Roots” fundraiser. The purpose of the non-profit organization is to help build strong neighborhoods in WinstonSalem and Forsyth County by supporting a wide range of community-based initiatives. NBN believes that the long-term change in communities only happens when residents participate in creating solutions. Executive Director Paula McCoy said, “We’ve Got Roots” is their opportunity to celebrate the community and showcase individuals who are going over and above, leading efforts to organize, revitalize, and transform their neighborhoods. “The only way we will be able to build strong neighborhoods and communities is through a joint effort from all stakeholders,” she said. “Although we only recognize a few

individuals here today, we know there are many of you who work tirelessly every day to make a difference in the lives of others in your neighborhood. During this year’s celebration held inside the FileGoodwin Center at Mt. Zion Baptist Church, NBN honored Executive Director of the Center for Community Safety at Winston-Salem State University Alvin Atkinson with the Outstanding Board Leadership Award; President of the Dreamland Park-Rose of Sharon Neighborhood Association Sean Hawkins with the Emerging Leadership Award: and longtime community leader and activist Dorothy Bonner with the Grassroots Leadership Award . Recent Carver High School graduate Kywun Roberts and WinstonSalem Preparatory (WSPA) Academy rising junior Daysi Sanchez were presented with the 2016 youth Leader Awards during the celebration as well.

believe the maps are fair, legal and constitutional and look forward to our day in court,” state Sen. Bob Rucho, a chief architect of the maps, said Monday. Opponents say they unfairly stacked black voters into two districts that were already electing African-American representatives, thus diluting their influence in neighboring territories. A federal court ruled in February that race was the predominant factor in drawing the two districts and ordered them redrawn. A new map of 13 congressional districts was used in an unusual June 7 primary, separate from most other races.

of the NPR-affiliated broadcast The Public Morality, Rev. Byron Williams. Williams, who is also an author and adjunct professor at Wake Forest University’s School of Divinity, has spoken across the country and appeared on numerous television and radio news programs. He is considered one of the leading public theologians in the nation. As he stood before the nearly 100 people in attendance, Williams said a healthy community is reflective of healthy roots. While using the roots of a plant as an example, Williams noted, “That makes the communities vibrant, ripe with growth, and fertile with possibility. “What happens underground where the plants’ roots live is what determines the quality of plant growth,” said Williams. “We can’t have healthy roots if we don’t have a healthy root system in place. “That’s what is at the core of what Neighbors for Better Neighborhoods is all about.”

Started in 1991 by The Winston-Salem Foundation, NBN is dedi- M cated to connecting people, p strengthening voices and A leveraging resources in the community. Through their Grassroots Grants Program last year, NBN distributed $15,000 in grants to seven grassroots community groups. Following Williams’ address, community advocate Delores Hill, who is a member of the NBN governance committee, said the organization will continue to do great things in the community moving for- B ward. She also urged the community to get involved with the organization so they can continue to make an impact and change lives. “With the team we have here at NBN and the help from the community, i am confident that we will be able to achieve great things in the future,” she said. “i encourage you to help us continue to have roots in the communities here in Winston-Salem.”

A high court ruling also should influence a separate court challenge of North Carolina's state legislative districts. North Carolina is a swing state whose voters split almost evenly in the last two presidential elections. But the GOP's maps created veto-proof majorities in the state legislature, and the congressional delegation now has three Democrats to ten Republicans. The state's lawyers, meanwhile, say the federal court's logic forces North Carolina into the difficult situation of having to consider race to comply with federal voting rights laws, while also triggering “strict

scrutiny” of its maps for doing so. “The three-judge court's approach would trap states between the threat of vote dilution claims and the hammer of a racial gerrymandering claim,” they wrote in a Supreme Court filing. Their challengers argue that GOP mapmakers illegally gerrymandered the 2011 map, drawing boundaries “whose grasping tendrils were necessary to capture disparate pockets of black voters.” The case is McCrory v. Harris, 15-1262. Associated Press writer Gary D. Robertson in Raleigh contributed to this report.

State Rep. Terry Supreme Court to rule on use recovering from of race in N.C. redistricting health challenge SPECiAL TO THE CHRONiCLE

State Rep. Evelyn Terry, Democrat of Forsyth County (District 71), this week told constituents that she has been dealing with a health challenge, but assured them that the prognosis is good and she will continue to serve them in Raleigh. “A couple of months ago, doctors found a growth on my bladder. it was removed through out-patient surgery and subsequently, in an abundance of caution, i started chemotherapy, which now is about complete. We caught it in the early stage,” said Terry, “but still it was a matter of concern. Thankfully, i have the support of family, friends, constituents and great doctors at Baptist Hospital. i see this as yet one more challenge along life’s way, and together with prayer and God’s Rep. Terry help, we are working our way through it.” Despite ongoing treatment, Terry has been fully engaged in the current “short” session of the General Assembly now being held in Raleigh. “There are a lot of issues on the table that are important to the voters here in Forsyth County,” she said, “and i am making sure their voices are heard loud and clear. “As always, i encourage residents of District 71 to contact me if they want to share a concern or viewpoint or if they think there is some way in which i can be of assistance,” Terry said. “My number is 336-788-5008 and my email is Evelyn.Terry@ncleg.net.” Terry’s leadership over the years has ranged from precinct level political activity to serving on public boards and commissions, including membership on the Winston-Salem City Council. A strong and effective advocate for women's rights and civil rights for all people, Terry currently serves as Forsyth County's Department of Social Services board chair. She is a long-time advocate for children and the arts and believes strongly in education as the foundation for successful living. She graduated from Johnson C. Smith University and received her master’s degree from Appalachian State University. Terry is the granddaughter of George Black, the famous African-American handmade brick maker, who was one of Winston-Salem’s best-known citizens of the 20th century.

RALEiGH (AP) - The U.S. Supreme Court agreed Monday to decide whether Republican lawmakers relied too heavily on race when they redrew North Carolina's congressional districts to give the GOP a powerful advantage in the swing state. The justices will hear the case in the fall - almost certainly too late to affect November's elections. But in the years ahead, it could impact partisan efforts to create electoral districts aimed at swaying the balance of power in Congress and in state legislatures. The Supreme Court could consider it together with a similar appeal from Virginia, where challengers say Republicans packed black voters into a dozen statehouse districts, strengthening GOP control of neighboring territories. Five of the eight current justices appear sympathetic to such claims brought by minority voters, based on a 2015 ruling in an Alabama case, according to election-law expert Rick Hasen at the University of California at irvine. North Carolina's GOP leaders deny factoring in race to an illegal extent, saying their 2011 map was designed primarily to give Republicans an edge while complying with the federal Voting Rights Act after the 2010 census. “We continue to

He’s in town visiting his grandmother, who suggested he try the camp. Marquan said being a pilot was also among his possible career aspirations, and that this experience made him feel like it was achievable. “It was fun,” said Williams. “It was one of the best experiences of my life. It inspired me a lot.” Pilots are in high demand right now since U.S. airlines are experiencing pilot shortages. Boeing estimates it’ll take 95,000 new pilots to meet the demand of airlines in North America over the next 20 years. Those looking for training in aviation jobs beyond piloting may have reason to return to Smith Reynolds Airport in the future. The Forsyth Technical Community College bond being considered by county commissioners for the November ballot includes hanger and classroom space at the airport for a new program that will prepare students to work on the mechanical structure of airplanes. North State Aviation, a Smith Reynolds tenant that works on Boeing planes, has had difficulty finding college FAA certified employees.

Middle school students got to pilot planes on their final day of the Jim Shaw Aviation Career Education (ACE) Academy at Smith Reynolds Airport on Friday, June 24. ACE Academy introduced middle school students last week and high school students this week to career possibilities in aviation. Airport Commissioner Jim Shaw started the local academy six years ago. It’s one of several aviation summer camps held around the state, sponsored by the North Carolina Department of Transportation Division of Aviation. “It’s amazing to see some of these kids get out of the plane smiling and happy,” said Shaw. Last week, 24 students participated in a variety of activities before piloting a single engine plane with a certified flight instructor from Piedmont Flight Training. They made model airplanes, launched miniature rockets and practiced in a flight simulator. They flew in a hot air balloon at Ibraham Elementary School, where ACE instructor Tony Colburn teaches aeronautics. They learned about a variety of jobs in the aviation field beyond being a pilot and even got a lesson in financial planning from Piedmont Advantage Credit Union, which is one of the camp’s sponsors. Sponsors help keep the tuition of the local camp the lowest in the state. Among the young participants was Will Brinker, 11, who is a rising sixth grader at Jefferson Middle School. “I’ve always dreamed about flying, and I think that’s pretty much every kid’s dream,” he said. He said he’s always wanted to be a pilot, and that the camp has encouraged him to pursue his dream. He said being in a

The Black Press:189 years old and still going strong

Media reports recently revealed that according to a Gallup poll, Americans have only 20 percent high confidence in newspapers these days. Of course, they were talking about daily newspapers. If a study had been done on community newspapers, we believe the statistics would be different, maybe even reversed: that only 20 percent of Americans don’t have high confidence in communi-

ty newspapers. Now look at black community newspapers: The Black Press was founded 189 years ago and is still going strong. The National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA) convention in Houston, Texas, last week shows that. The organization that represents 200 black newspapers in the United States is wired for the 21st century. Convention-goers were tweeting with photos constantly all during the convention while large monitors showed the flow of tweets to #NNPA2016. Sessions were being videotaped. Laptops and tablets could be seen throughout the convention. Digital audio recorders were there, too. Newspapers sent digitally to NNPA were displayed for all to see on presentation boards. Discussions on branching into other minority and underrepresented communities emerged, also. But amid the new things were the old ones that have made The Black Press great. Convention-goers discussed issues that affect the black community, such as health, wealth and the criminal justice system. Experts from across the nation joined publishers and others in lively discussions. Winston-Salem was represented two ways: with The Chronicle and Reynolds American Inc. (RAI) Services Co. Reynolds American sponsored the session “Criminal Justice Reform: The Issue of Menthol and the African American Community.” It was one of the liveliest discussions during the convention as the pros and cons of criminalization policies in the United States and how they affect the black community were discussed. The Federal Drug Administration is looking at criminalizing menthol in cigarettes, which is used in RAI products. A large amount of African-Americans buy those types of cigarettes. Amid the discussions and tweets came the time for the newspaper publishers and their staffs to shine for work produced in 2015. The Chronicle, owned by Publisher Emeritus Ernie Pitt, was among the newspapers vying for awards. Al McFarlane, chairman of the NNPA Foundation, which conducted the 2016 Merit Awards, made this announcement at the awards dinner: “We have discovered a new vitality. We are masters of the niche.” McFarlane is owner of Insight News in Minneapolis, Minn. The Chronicle won one first-place award, for Best Sports Section; two second-place awards, for Best Layout and Design, Broadsheet, and Best Special Section (for the National Black Theatre Festival publication); and one third-place award, for the historic photo of the Mass Moral Monday March in July in Winston-Salem, taken by staff reporterphotographer Tevin Stinson. “I believe we are about to do a new thing in The Black Press,” McFarlane said. The Chronicle is proud to be a part of it.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

SPEAKING of MONSTERS To The Editor:

Human nature today is no different than it was in the beginning. That includes race, ethnicity, socio-economic status or religion. We are made up of two opposing sides- one good, the other is deceitful. Which one do you feed? When the deceitful side is fed, we use fear and ignorance to divide and conquer. North Carolina’s HB2 is a prime example. According to the majority of the General Assembly, the LBGT Community is a monster. They’ve used a portion of the Bible to portray these people as Satan who comes to seek and to destroy. What evidence has been presented to suggest that this community is attacking or frightening women and children in public restrooms or anywhere else for that matter? Now let’s examine the remainder of this bill drawn up by the “good” Christians in this state. These politicians ran some very ugly campaigns to get to Raleigh. They told us a lot of junk and what did they do? They made laws that hurt the average citizen in the state. Another component of HB2 prohibits city and county governments from requiring private contractors to pay a set wage for awarded projects. The third component of this legislation prevents you from using the state courts to file discrimination lawsuits against employers. Filing a federal claim is much more costly and time consuming than a state case. Will businesses come to North Carolina with good wages that enable us to participate freely in the economic system, stabilize our families, and have a decent quality of life or will we be peons in a system that makes the wealthy wealthier? The politicians (from all parties) tell us exactly what we want to hear; however once elected, they remain loyal to their big financial contributors. What about their constitutents? I’m just saying – speaking of monsters … Mildred S. Peppers Winston-Salem

Following in their footsteps

To the Editor:

When Muhammad Ali challenged the system by refusing to serve in the United States Army, he was following the footsteps of other historical African-Americans, who also challenged the system such as: Richard Allen, David Walker, Sarah Parker Redmond, Nat Turner, Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, Henry McNeal Turner, Jack Johnson, Mary Church Terrell, Marcus Garvey, Paul Robeson, Elijah Muhammad, Adam Clayton Powell, Jr., Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Louis Farrakhan. There were others, but are too numerous to name. Some of these men and women were former slaves that fought the system and “powers that be” for their freedom, civil rights, human rights, dignity, manhood and womanhood. Some even gave their lives for their beliefs. They not only wanted to make things better for themselves, but also for society and humanity. Dr. Lenwood G. Davis Winston-Salem

A lesson from Huckleberry Finn To the Editor:

Young and old can still learn from Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn. Young Huck had a keen eye for recognizing fraud, so he knew when the self-proclaimed “King” was pulling a con on the riverside folks. When candidate Trump proposes immediate magical solutions to hurting Americans, I believe that's the kind of "King” he would be! Are we as savvy as Huckleberry?

Ellen S. Yarborough Winston-Salem

Congresswoman Alma S. Adams releases statement on announcement for Supreme Court to hear appeal from the State of North Carolina.

Congresswoman will continue to serve the 12th

To The Editor:

Today the United States Supreme Court announced that it will take under review the redistricting case impacting North Carolina’s 1st and 12th Congressional Districts, of which I serve in the 12th. Today’s decision will Adams allow the court to decide whether or not the 1st and the 12th Congressional Districts illegally compacts minority communities into those congressional districts. As I have said before, this is a wait-and-see process to determine how this will impact my constituents. Therefore, I am focused and committed to serving the current 12th Congressional District until January 2017. Congresswoman Alma Adams (NC-12) Washington, D.C.

Statement from NCDP on Trump’s Speech To The Editor:

Trump talks tough on trade, but his actions speak louder than his words. Trump’s own products are made overseas. Trump ties are made in China. Trump suits are made in

CAMPAIGN

Mexcio. Trump furniture is made in Turkey. Trump picture frames are made in India, and Trump barware is made in Slovenia.

Mental health is important. We need to pay attention to how we think and feel; pay attention to how we behave and treat other people. Let’s get rid of the silence and shame with mental health and mental illness. Let’s talk to each other, listen to each other. As a community, help each other get professional help. As individuals, get professional help if we need help. We must take care of ourselves so we can take care of the people we love and our communities. For more information, go to:

Kimya N. Dennis

Guest Columnist Devon Davis was one of over 2,000 North Carolina inmates released last year after being imprisoned with a mental illness. This prison release is an example of changes to North Carolina’s mental health system. Unfortunately, this release also shows how difficult it is to bring incarcerated people back into society. There are programs and organizations dedicated to prison re-entry and reintegration. But not every former inmate has access to these programs and organizations. Not every program and organization discusses mental health and mental illness. Devon Davis is struggling with unemployment and homelessness. He sometimes stays with family. This is a lot to deal with while also dealing with mental illness. The story of Devon Davis is familiar in many communities — unemployment, homelessness, or moving from one place of living to another. Many communities are less familiar with mental health and mental illness. This unfamiliarity is not because mental health and mental illness are uncommon in our communities. Instead, many people do not know the meaning of

*The Mental Health Association in Forsyth County: http://www.triadmentalhealth.org/what-ismental-illness/

*Mental Health America: African American Communities and Mental Health http://www.mentalhealthamerica.net/africanamerican-mental-health “mental health.” Many people do not get diagnosed and treated for their mental and emotional difficulties. This is similar to how many people do not get diagnosed and treated for physical difficulties. The phrases “mental health” and “mental illness” (and “mental health condition”) are commonly used. But when you ask some people what these phrases mean, some people are not sure. National Institute of Health (NIH)

defines mental health as how we think, feel and behave. Mental health is about how we deal with things that happen in our lives and how we make life decisions. How we deal with our problems and stress. How we deal with other people. Mental health does not mean there is a mental illness. Everyone has mental and emotional health (and physical health). Our thoughts and feelings can be temporary and short

term (example: sadness) or they can last a long time (example: depression). We need healthy ways to express our emotions. Ways that do not harm ourselves or anyone else. When feelings and actions become uncontrollable and unhealthy, there might be a mental illness. Mental illnesses are health conditions that harm how we think, feel, and behave. Health conditions are connected to genetics, family background, things hap-

pening in our lives, and things that stress us out. When should we contact medical and mental health professionals?

*If we cannot control our thoughts and actions *If we struggle to start or keep relationships with coworkers, friends, and family

BET

One can see straight through “I think they’re all going to hell in a hand basket,” snapped my Guest grandmother, Columnist then 70 years old in June 1966, when I asked her what she thought of my generation. I was 20 as we thumbed through the pictures and briefs in Jet Magazine. That week’s cover story: James Meredith shot on his March through Mississippi. Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King and others took up Meredith’s March, with Stokely Carmichael creating worldwide commotion by raising the term “Black Power.” Percy Sledge popularized the romantically passionate tune “When A Man Loves a Woman.” Last week, I found myself having the same reaction to the younger generation as my Grandma did a half century ago while I watched – blushing at times – the BET Awards Show, along with my 15 year-old granddaughter. Music, acting, sports and fields of entertainment are the current plots and storylines for black millennials. Whereas Jet carried the scenes, sights and sounds of social change and what black people had on their minds a half century ago, BET now focuses the spotlight on what black celebrities don’t have on either their minds nor their bodies. Beyonce opened the show bouncing

Bill Turner

about briskly in fewer threads than Eve in the Garden while co-emcee Tracee Ellis Ross – who changed into fewer clothes between each segment – slinked about once in a skintight snakeskin. Taraji Henson wanted first to “Thank God” after she sashayed onto the stage in a seethrough skirt exaggerated in silver to accept the Best Actress Award for her role as “Cookie” on the hit show Empire. “You know I was going to wear that outfit,” said co-host Anthony Anderson, the star of Blackish – as he pirouetted dramatically to show his bare butt cheeks, framed in white pants – to Janelle Monae, who paid tribute to Prince while showing off her unadorned rear-end at the same time. Transgender star of “Orange is the New Black,” Laverne Cox, wore a plunging, very, very skimpy jumpsuit accessorized with some killer body chains all below an auburn mermaid hairstyle. Jesse Williams’ acceptance speech for the BET Humanitarian Award seemed almost out of place. At least I could discuss the anatomy of Williams' speech with my granddaughter. “How long have you been saying young black people would go to hell in a hand basket?,” I asked my Grandmother. “For at least 50 years,” she replied. I wonder what Grandmother would say about the new pictures presented on BET: where things and people are going. Dr. Bill Turner is a noted educator, writer and thinker who called WinstonSalem home for many years. Reach him at bill-turner@comcast.net.

Youth go to Josh Howard to learn basketball

TIMOTHY RAMSEY THE CHRONICLE

Josh Howard has been a star on the basketball court since he laced up his sneakers for Glenn High School. He was a stand-out player for the Wake Forest Demon Deacons and even became an NBA All-Star with the Dallas Mavericks. To the kids of his basketball skills summer camp, he is their All-Star. On June 27-29, Howard held his annual skills camp, sponsored by the Josh Howard Foundation, at the W. R. Anderson Community Center. Howard has held this camp for over a decade and said every year the camp

just continues to grow. Kids from ages 7 to 15 participated in the camp.

“When I was growing up, we had outlets, but no visible athletes who made it to the professional level came back, so I felt like it was my calling,” said Howard. “I just wanted to stay grounded with my hometown and give these kids an opportunity to see someone who made it from their own city.” The camp is free to the kids of the community, which Howard said was very important to him because he doesn't do it for money but instead for the love of the kids. Throughout the camp the kids will participate in fun-

damental drills to improve their skills. Life skills seminars will be a part of the camp and a few NBA players may make a surprise visit as well. Howard wants to help the kids translate the skills of basketball into everyday life. Howard stated that this camp is important to him because as a young man his mother and grandmother instilled in him the importance of giving back. He said because they worked tirelessly to make his life better, they wanted him to do the same for others. “I've always told Josh, [that]

Former Winston-Salem Prep Academy player Kala Robinson grew up being a cheerleader. As she watched her older sister play basketball her focus changed. Robinson has signed her letter of intent to play basketball for the Lady Broncos of Fayetteville State University. The 5'9” Robinson said her favorite aspect of playing basketball is playing as a team and sharing the ball. Her favorite player is Camille Little of the Connecticut Sun in the WNBA. Little is from Winston-Salem and played at Carver High School before becoming a star player for the UNC Tar Heels. “I was really overwhelmed and I was really happy because it was proof all of my hard work paid off,” said Robinson of her scholarship. With her height, Robinson says at the high school level she was able to overpower smaller guards and her shooting touch and speed enabled her to out maneuver forwards. “In high school when girls guarded me, it would be a mismatch because I was usually stronger than them,” Robinson said. “I need to get stronger for the next level because when I went to an open gym at Fayetteville State, those girls were really strong.” Kala Robinson's father, Alvin Robinson, was very happy for his daughter and the success she had on the court. “I'm proud of her. She always wanted to go to a CIAA school because of the hype of the conference,” said Alvin Robinson. “I am more proud of the fact she is able to live her dream and not the dream of my wife and I.” Kala, who has been with the program at Winston-Salem Prep since the sixth grade, has impressed coaches and faculty alike. “She is just a great kid and she is like the glue for our team, you know, the thing that puts it all together,”said WSP Athletic Director Ricky Holt. “She has done so much for the program and I know she will do great things. She will be missed.” Robinson is very aware of the positive aspects of her game and what she needs to improve on to get better. “I expect myself to be more mature because the girls there already know how it works. I'm just going to go in and learn and once I get acclimated I can make history there and maybe break records,” Robinson stated.

Area teens earn tennis scholarships

BY TIMOTHY RAMSEY THE CHRONICLE

Typically when you hear of high school athletes obtaining scholarships to four year universities, football, basketball or baseball immediately come to mind. But Makenna Mason of Atkins High School and Brandon Caldwell of North Forsyth chose an alternative route to college athletics by way of the tennis court. Brandon will be attending Lees-McCrae College in the fall. He said he was attracted to tennis during his freshman year of high school as a sport to play during the spring. Caldwell was a basketball player initially, but turned to the tennis court full time

after injuring himself during his sophomore year. He went on to say he enjoys the individual aspect of the sport because you only have yourself to rely upon. “We have been working with Brandon for about a year and he has improved about 500 percent, and that’s not an understatement,” said tennis coach Harold Moore of Forsyth Country Day school. “When Brandon came to us, pretty much all of the girls could beat him, but he told us he wanted to raise his game, and he certainly has.” Caldwell won the AllConference championship while at North Forsyth. He also finished fourth in the See Tennis on B2

Children as young as 7 years old participate in the Josh Howard Camp and some have even grown up to become counselors.

when God blessed him to become a player in the NBA he not forget where God has brought him from,” said Nancy Henderson, Josh Howard's mother. “I told him as he gives, God will give unto him, so I think it’s great for the kids to let them know someone cares enough for them to do this, then they would want to reach out and do better with their lives.” For the last couple of years, Howard was holding duel camps at W. R. Anderson and Hanes Hosiery Community Centers simultaneously but the number of kids was getting

too large so he decided to hold separate camps this year, with the Hanes Hosiery camp coming in August. Anderson Community Center supervisor Bryant McCorkle has known Howard for years and says he is very happy that he decides to hold this free camp for the neighborhood kids. McCorkle went on to say, “Josh has generously given a lot of kids an opportunity to participate in a camp. He could have easily charged hundreds for this camp, but he chose not to. It’s been a great partnership going on 13 years, and I look forward to doing it for years to come.” Howard went on to say that he wants the kids to know that a kid from Winston-Salem can make it and

there is more to life than just basketball. He says he actually looks forward to this camp because he knows the kids here wouldn't get this opportunity otherwise. He recounted his years as a youth growing up in the Morningside section of the city and how he used to walk to the Anderson Community Center often. The opportunity to see the kids grow throughout the years he has been holding this camp has been a blessing, he said. Even some of the counselors of the camp are former participants. He said having the kids continue to come back and see the impact his camp has is payment enough.

Caldwell and Mason wanted to let young African-American kids know there are opportunities out there for them besides the normal sports of football, basketball, or track and field. “When you’re black, you’re expected to play basketball and football just like I did. You really aren’t taught to play other sports such as tennis or lacrosse. I would recommend that young black kids go out and try tennis or swimming or martial arts and expand their horizons,” said Caldwell. Mason followed by saying, “Playing other sports is fun and something different. A lot of people expected me to play basketball and run track, but those were things I wasn't very good at. Tennis is something I'm good at and I enjoy it.” According to Coach Moore, both of these young players have a very bright future, and he expects them to excel at the next level.

Heart of the game in the summer Visit Our New Website www.WSChronicle.com

Often times when we think about football, our minds immediately invoke images of cool fall weather for tailgating, huge swarms of screaming fans cheering under the bright lights, and our favorite team logos carefully stitched onto colorful mesh jerseys. The United States’ passion for football has exploded over the past 30 years and now many American football fans patiently wait out the summer in anticipation of the season’s first kick-off. Even in the sweltering heat of late June, on a middle school football field in rural Statesville, North Carolina, the collective passion for football was on full display during a semi-pro game between the Statesville Warriors and The Carolina Jaguars. Devoid of all the typical pomp and circumstance of college and pro football, you can see the pureness of the love for the game that many of us share, physically manifested through the intensity of players on the field. While this was a semi-pro football contest, there was nothing semi-serious about it. Dozens of former high-school and collegiate standouts, as well as current and former high school and college coaches poured their hearts out during the hourplus contest. The Statesville Warriors, reigning champions of the league, came out scoring early touchdowns on offense side forcing turnovers on the defensive side end of the ball, frustrating the Jaguars from WinstonSalem. After a couple scores by the home team, the Jags began to come undone and turn their frustrations inward at themselves. Teammates began to vocally challenge one another leading to a brief spat over some substitution confusion on one particular defensive package. To the casual onlooker this may have

T H E C H R ON I C LE

seemed a bit excessive for a semi-pro Wali football game, Pitt played in Chronicle early summer, Columnist at a middle school field. But to me it served as a reminder of the importance of the game of football to African-American males. When you grow up with football success meaning a possible improvement of you and your family’s quality of life, the game itself becomes a fight. Not just against the opponent on the field but against the tides of oppression that can keep African-Americans in disadvantaged situations. What starts out as fun and games in Pop Warner quickly turns into serious business, with a chance to get a free college education or in the rare circumstances, the opportunity to accrue generational wealth by playing in the NFL. Most athletes land somewhere in the middle, reliving their own personal glory days through exaggerated stories or by playing in annual Thanksgiving day pickup games. Shawn Moore, a 29-year-old WinstonSalem native and father of two, has embodied this fighting spirit since he was a teenager and he continues to live out his dream at the snap of every play. As a star high school running back at Glenn High in Winston-Salem, Shawn once rushed for 313 yards and six touchdowns in his first ever playoff game as a sophomore. Shawn then “took his talents to East Winston” where he went on tosStar at Carver High School and parlayed his skills into a full scholarship to play at the collegiate level.

JUNE 30, 2016

For Shawn, his love of the game wouldn’t allow his playing career to become an antidote in a story about his glory days. “I’m 29, I got two kids and I come out here just because I love the game. I’m not getting paid right now, I gotta go to work on Monday morning, I’m just doing this for the love of the game and to develop some film from this and hopefully get paid for my talents.” I first met Shawn during his junior year at Carver High, his first year at the school. I can remember the hype behind the highly rated D-1 running back prospect changing schools to bolster a Yellow Jacket team that had just won the Class 3A State Championship the previous year. We at Carver Nation automatically assumed that the addition of Shawn Moore would equal back-to-back state titles. This was not the case, as expectations did not meet reality. This is a common theme in the Black American Football experience, as many athletes are burdened by expectations that WE as fans saddle them with, and when the reality that comes to fruition doesn’t match these lofty expectations, we often see a downward spiral back into the same negativity that the game of football had once helped shield them from. For Shawn, receiving his full ride to play at North Carolina A&T was only the first chapter in a college career that would span almost 10 years. “I had a full ride at A&T. I went down there with two high school teammates and I actually just kinda fell off. First semester [I was] just chasing girls and ended up getting put on academic probation, After that I just left school and started working.” For most of our athletes, this is where the glory days end and the infinite string of regrets begin. We are trained to think that there is only one path to football greatness

Summer program to stem aggression kicks off locally

SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

Gentleman’s Quorum Inc. recently launched its PLAAY (Preventing LongTerm Anger & Aggression in Youth) summer program. Participants in the program are joining forces with Union Baptist Church’s Youth Character Football League (YCFL) for a two-hour session each Sunday at Winston-Salem Prep Academy. Participants in the program will go through a battery of conditioning drills designed to prepare them for the upcoming football season. Gentleman’s Quorum Inc. has sponsored programs featuring PLAAY at Elementary Academy and The Kingswood School. The program uses sports and group counseling as the media of research and intervention and highlights the importance of parental support.

The program is modeled after one run by Dr. Howard Stevenson at the University of Pennsylvania, who works with inner city youth in Philadelphia. In its five years of operation, the PLAAY Project yielded a dramatic decline in aggressive behavior among its "high-risk" participants — all of the boys in the program had committed disciplinary infractions in school, ranging from carrying a penknife to violent assault on a fellow student. Stevenson has used sports — which offers a setting in which conflicts arise naturally and can be addressed in the moment. Sam Davis and Elliot Miley initially introduced the program locally during the 2014-15 school year, while working as counselors in an afterschool enrichment program at Elementary School Academy. The program

was successful. A DVD was made of one of the group’s sessions and it eventually made it all the way to the office of President Barack Obama. Davis said he decided to offer the program through the YCFL this summer and this coming fall after he was named head coach of the program’s 12-and-under football team. “I believe it will be a great collaboration,” he said. “I have worked with Rev. Dr. Sir Walter Mack and the YCFL since its inception. This year I decided to take a more active role in the program and try to reach these kids through the concept of PLAAY. This is really important in today’s local climate because of all the violence that is happening. I believe this can head off some of these problems before they begin to spiral out of control.

Livingstone names new head women’s basketball coach

SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

SALISBURY, N.C. — A woman who said she scheduled games against CIAA teams because of her respect for the conference is the new head women's basketball coach at Livingstone College. Tiffany Silver, former head coach at Wilmington University in Delaware, was announced Friday, June 10, by Livingstone Athletic Director Andre Springs during a press conference. She becomes the ninth head women's basketball coach for the Blue Bears. In her brief remarks, Silver thanked Livingstone College President Dr. Jimmy R. Jenkins Sr., Springs and Dr. State W. Alexander III, executive assistant to the president and vice president for communications & public relations, for their support. "I appreciate you for entrusting me with the responsibility of fostering this program of young women, as athletes and more important as young women," Silver said. Jenkins said after the press conference that he's glad Silver accepted the institution's offer to join the Livingstone family. "I am excited about Coach Silver," Jenkins said. "I was very impressed with her during the interview." Silver replaces Anita Howard, who left Livingstone after two seasons for another coaching position. Howard resigned in

early June to take the head coaching position at Columbus State University in Georgia. She lived in Winston-Salem while she was coach at Livingstone. Silver comes to Livingstone after four seasons at Wilmington University, which competes in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference. Her overall record at Wilmington was 3276; however, to her Silver credit the team had won only three games in the season before she became the head coach. And last season, her Wildcats finished 14-14 overall. Before assuming the head job at Wilmington, Silver worked as an assistant coach at NCAA Division III Johns Hopkins University, where she helped the Blue Jays to a stellar 24-5 record and a berth in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. From 2005 to 2011, Silver was the head coach at Western High School in her native Baltimore. Silver boasted perfect graduation and college-acceptance rates during her time at Western. Silver is a graduate of the University of Maryland Baltimore County, where she earned a bachelor's degree in sociology and played on the women's basketball squad.

“Gentleman’s Quorum Inc. understands the importance of having an organization of strong male mentors to provide positive reinforcement by building self-esteem and confidence in our young gentlemen,” Davis added. “These traits will transfer from the Gentleman's Quorum to the classroom to the real world to the home. Through the efforts of dedicated positive male mentors, family/community support, and the commitment of our young gentlemen, we will help to take them to new heights, academically, socially, economically and help them to succeed. We will accomplish this through teaching and exposure.” Gentleman’s Quorum Inc., formed in September 2013, was incorporated in April 2014 and achieved its nonprofit status 501(c)(3) status in March 2015.

and once diverged from that path, that there are no other options available, aside from hanging up the cleats. This is where the wisdom and leadership of those who have come before is paramount. Positive reinforcement from older and respected former athletes and coaches can take the defeated mentality of a late teen, early 20s athlete and reinvigorate their mindset into not only a focused “never say die” athlete, but also into a dedicated and driven adult, using the same skills that helped them on the field of play, in the game of life. A conversation with one of his former coaches at Carver High School seemingly had this same impact on Shawn at a low point in his career. “Coach McKoy came and paid me a visit, and I’m so thankful for this. He asked me if I still wanted to play and I said yeah, He got me on at Shaw U and the rest is history, [I] played at Shaw, graduated with honors, went on to state [Winston Salem State University] having one year of eligibility left, graduating with honors again and [I’m] still just chasing the dream.” The unfinished story of Shawn Moore’s football career should serve as a reminder that the heart of the game beats not in between the lines or as a derivative of stats, championships, or money earned, but is the steady pulse of courage, dedication and the never-give-up mentality that it takes to make it in life as well as on fourth and long. Stay tuned to The Chronicle throughout the summer for coverage and highlights of the Carolina Jaguars and continued updates on Shawn Moore’s inspiring journey to professional football.

Church holds prayer walk to raise funds to help children

By TimoThy RamSey The ChRoniCle

Church ministries use many methods to raise funds. The stewardship committee of antioch Christian Church has found a way to not only raise money but also help others get some exercise and spread the word of

Christ all at once. The “Souls For Christ Walk” was started in 2010 as a way to raise funds for the church's Vacation Bible School. according to liz Gilliam, the walk is also a way for the church to go out into the community and let people know there are those in the church who still care.

“i've been in walks before and have seen the success they can have, so i thought it would be a great idea to have one here,” said Gilliam. “our duty is to win souls for Christ, so as the church we are supposed to win souls in the community.” The walk started at the church See Walk on B6

St. John C.m.e. brings men’s and Women’s days together

Charles and Dr. Jewel Cherry were co-chairpersons for the Men and Women’s day celebration, and were applauded for all of their hard work

men’s Day and Women’s Day are normally celebrated on different days during different parts of the year. on Sunday, June 26, St. John C.m.e. church decided to observe both on the same Sunday after not having a men’s or Women’s Day for the past decade. according to the church, in 1907 nannie helen Burroughs instituted the concept of Women’s Day during

the Women’s Convention of the national Baptist Convention. it was an opportunity for women to learn to speak for themselves. additionally, it was a time to encourage younger women to catch the torch and meet the needs of the church and community. equally, men’s Day was a time to celebrate men and appreciate men’s contributions to family, church community and country. men’s Day in the black church is a

Lesson Scripture: Romans 2:17-29

By the end of this lesson, we will * identify Paul’s revelation about the people who claim to follow God’s law while failing to keep it * Recognize the hypocrisy of claiming to belong to God while breaking God’s law * identify the hypocrisy in our beliefs and daily actions and ways to comply with God’s law

Background: There is friction in the Roman church over circumcision. Paul contends that circumcision itself is fine as a part of obeying God’s whole law, referring to those laws given to israel during their “wilderness experience.” he, Paul, also defends that for the gentiles it is

not necessary if their hearts are changed at salvation. Paul and Peter disagreed on this point also.

Lesson: Paul has made the assertion that God will judge people according to the lives they lived; a persons Sunday actions indicates the state School Lesson of his or her heart (Romans 2:6; Psalms 62:12; Proverbs 24:12). Paul states, parenthetically, religion can’t save you. Being brought up Jewish doesn’t mean you can lean back and take it easy because you feel an advantage to God’s revelation, or like a “connoisseur” of God’s best things and privy to the latest doctrines. you (Jews) may feel qualified to guide others, but who will guide you? you walk a fine line when

and continued on to the local park, where participants made several trips around and then come back to eat a paid breakfast. While some are walking, other individuals walked the neighborhood, passing out fliers that welcome people to the church. According to Gilliam, Catherine King and her family are the real reason for the success of the walk and breakfast. She stated that King was the driving force to get individuals to come and participate. Furthermore the entire King family helps with other aspects of the walk such as preparing the meals

and setting up the fellowship hall for dining. “We wanted to do something as a committee to help the church,” said King. “This is a small church and we wanted to come up with anything we could do to support the church. I was raised in this church and I just wanted to help.” Antioch Christian's Pastor James Gilliam was also a willing participant in the walk. He canvassed the neighborhood with other members, passing out fliers. He says as a pastor you have to lead by example, so that's why he walks every year. “It’s really helped our kids and get them motivated and teaches them to reach out to the neighbor-

depending on religion. “You can get by with almost everything if you front it with eloquent talk about God and His law” (vs. 2:23). There is a line in Scripture that says, “It’s because of you Jews that the outsiders are down on God,” (Eugene H. Peterson, The Message Remix: Pause). Sadly this is true of many religious people today. Paul sort of agrees to disagree on the question of circumcision. But in the final analysis, Paul says, it’s not the cut of the knife that makes a Jew. You become a Jew by who you are. It’s the mark of God on your heart, not the knife on your skin. Recognition comes from God. Bible-day

reminder to all, not only of what was, but also of what is possible for the church and the community of man. Sister Lillian Thompson spearheaded the celebration for this year. Thompson stated that after seeking God's guidance, the Lord led her to suggest to the pastor and church conference that the church celebrate the first joint Men’s and Women’s Day. Charles and Dr. Jewel Cherry were chosen for the planning and execution of St. John's first combined celebration of Men’s and Women’s Day. “It was a church effort and all members of the church got together and put it together,” said Charles Cherry. Dr. Jewel Cherry added, “Our pastor did a great job of bringing out our theme and what it means to work together and what you can do when you work together. I think it was a good point for us to make that it’s not just the

hood,” said Gilliam. “We are just doing the work of the Lord and building a foundation not only here but in the community as well. We wanted to reach out to everyone and by connecting with the kids, maybe we will be able to reach the adults, and that is what it’s all about.” The walk has risen in size year after year. Organizers anticipated having over 200 people come through the church on Saturday, even with humid temperatures. The members look forward to this event every year. “I came out today for fellowship and love of the church and to enjoy myself,” said Natasha Matthews of Antioch Christian.

Jews and church people today are too much alike when it comes to being judgmental.

For Your Consideration: How can believers keep their lives free from hypocrisy? Which are you, an eloquent talker or a real doer?

Life’s Application: Regardless of our religion, we are accountable for our own behavior and actions. As Christians we should acknowledge our failures and make every effort not to blame others for our mistakes. As Paul pointed out, often in our efforts to be “religious” we inadvertently sin or cause others to stumble. To avoid inadvertence, let Christ lead.

men or the women it’s all of us working together to do what we need to do. The day began with a celebration breakfast, followed by separate Sunday schools for the men, women and children. A brief history of the origins of Men’s and Women’s Day was given. The choir was joined by guest soloist Miranda Meaders from Charlotte. Meaders is a member of Nations Ford Community Church in Charlotte. The Rev. Omar L. Dykes delivered a sermon that focused on time and why it should not be wasted. He told the congregation not to allow the discussion of others to stop you from completing your work for God. Dykes continued by saying, “There is no time to give those that power because there will always be someone with something to say.” Dykes later commented, “The service was important for me to just lift up being a man and being a woman, particularly black

men and women. It was a day for us to build ourselves up. It gives the church the opportunity to celebrate life and those who make up the church come from many walks of life. I seek to blend my sermons with the current times. We have experienced a lot here in Winston-Salem with homicides, hunger and poverty. It was kind of parallel to what was happening in Nehemiah, Chapter 4. It was a pastoral sermon to tell the church we need to rebuild but we can't wait for permission.” Dykes was very adamant about uplifting the men and women, not only in the church, but the community as a whole. He feels as though the people should be called together to make change. Dykes closed with the thought, “It’s not good for people to drive into our churches to worship God and leave our churches and go back to a broken city in fear of their life.

Ujima CDC seeks tenants for retirement village T h e C h r on i C Le

By ToDD LUCk The ChroniCLe

Ujima Community Development Corp. (CDC) is trying to get deposits from 40 potential tenants before it can start construction of emmanuel retirement Village. Ujima held an informational meeting on Monday, June 27, at The enterprise Center, where the CDC is located. Ujima’s hobart Jones told attendees the CDC has planned a quality retirement community for those age 62 and over. “you want something you’re going to be proud of,” said Jones. The CDC began in 2005, after emmanuel Baptist Church Pastor John Mendez had the idea of putting a retirement community on property the church owned on Barbara Jane Avenue. The location of the project in east Winston and the 2008 recession stalled the project. Ujima finally found funding this year when the city approved $2.5 million for it in April. new Bridge Bank is offering a $3.2 million loan if the CDC can get 40 deposits of $500 from those interested in living in the retirement community. Ujima’s Larry Weston said this was a good deal for the CDC, requiring it to only have to raise $200,000 for the project, since developers are usual-

ly asked to contribute far more equity for a project of this size. The deposits will go in an escrow account and can be returned at any time if the potential tenants change their mind. The CDC is hoping to reach its goal before the end of August, so it can begin construction this year and open it late next year or in early 2018. emmanuel retirement Village will have 28 single bedroom units in a two story apartment building, and duplexes with 22 twobedroom units and a community center. A one bedroom, one bathroom unit including utilities is $899 and a two bedroom, two bathroom unit including utilities and a garage is $950. “There are no independent living units of this quality in this kind of setting in east Winston,” said Weston. Some expressed interest but no checks were written among the few that came at the beginning of the drop-in information session. Already the CDC has five deposits and expects that number to climb to at least 13 by week’s end when they’re able to get in touch with interested emmanuel congregates. The CDC will be following up with those who’ve expressed interest. Jones said he believed it was a project that will sell itself.
