VOTER ID LAW

ID law hearing draws large crowd

The NC State Board of Elections public comments hearing drew in a large crowd of interested parties prepared to speak on behalf of the 2013 Voter Information Verification Act (S.L. 2013-381) on Tuesday, June 9, at the Forsyth County Government Center in Downtown Winston-Salem. The Voter Information Verification Act (S.L. 2013-381), passed in 2013 by the NC General Assembly, requires photo identification for in-person voting starting in 2016.

State elections board gets earful from public

BY TORI PITTMAN FOR THE CHRONICLE

On Tuesday, June 9, citizens of Forsyth County gathered at the multipurpose room of the Forsyth County Government Center on Chestnut Street to voice their opinions about the new N.C. voter ID law. On Aug. 12, 2013, Gov. Pat McCrory signed a law that

requires citizens of North Carolina to have valid photo identification in order to vote. This law will take effect on Jan. 1, 2016, during the year of the presidential election. The room was filled with people — college students, middle-aged and senior citizens — that were present to listen or speak. Public Information Officer John Lawson, Jennifer Faulkner and Greg Michalek, who are with Voter Outreach, were seated in front of the crowd, taking notes and listening. Three pages of citizens signed up to have their twominute time slot to speak. Those who signed up either had a speech written or were verbally expressing their opin-

ions and concerns. The biggest issue mentioned multiple times were college IDs would no longer be valid in the new year. “A lot of college students don’t have the money to purchase an ID,” said Isaiah Fletcher, chairman of the Forsyth County Young Democrats. “It makes no sense why I can’t use a state-funded ID from a public university.” Fletcher is also a student at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro who strongly expressed how most students are in debt and can’t afford to get a photo ID when they have easy access to use their college IDs that’s already a part of their funding to an accredited college or

The final comment meeting on the new proposed Winston-Salem Transit Authority bus routes held at the Clark Campbell Transportation Center was filled with passengers asking about which of the new routes will serve them. Some didn’t care for the answer. “That’s a long walk,” said one woman who will have to walk further to get to the closest proposed bus route. “That’s three miles!” another woman exclaimed in reaction to the distance from her home to the proposed route. She said she currently walks at least two miles to get to her current route. WSTA Director Art Barnes went over each of the 26 new proposed routes with about 40 attendees who were present at the beginning of the final comment session this week. He then took questions, as he and WSTA staff tried to help passengers figure out which of the proposed routes they need to take to get where they’re going. He urged attendees to put their comments in writing so the WSTA can see what changes need to be made on the new routes.

“This process is far from over,” he said, while assuring attendees that they will have ample notice when the finalized routes go into effect. It was the last out of 21 comment meetings held by WSTA. The new proposed routes were created using passenger surveys, passenger counter data and looking at which destinations generate the most passengers. The new routes would operate under the curr e n t W S TA budget with a similar amount of miles a n d Barnes manhours as the current routes. The routes are designed to be shorter, with most being 30 minutes long, and are designed to be more direct ways to get to popular destinations. This is the first overhaul of routes in WSTA history and radically changes the shape of routes that have been traveled for decades. As a result, some passengers who are used to a bus coming close to their homes are going to be walking more to get to their routes.

“We know that people will be inconvenienced and convinced no matter what we do in the end,” he said. “There are people who will be happy and there are people who won’t be happy. It’s not going to be a perfect system that services everyone because we’re limited to our current resources, the number of hours or miles that we operate now.” Carolyn Wright was among the attendees. The 68-year-old has no car or driver’s license and has used the bus to get around her whole life. She said bus service is vital for both her and her daughter, Latonya, to get where they need to go, especially to their jobs. She works as an usher for the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, a job that takes her either to the college’s campus or to the downtown Stevens Center. Wright lives on West 14th Street. She currently has convenient Saturday service and has to walk to Cherry Street for a Sunday bus. The new routes change that and she’ll need to cross a busy University Parkway to catch the weekend bus. She said she hoped the routes stayed the same. “I think they should leave the routes just as they are and not change any-

university. Another concern was when presenting a photo ID on voting day, the person should match the picture along with the physical description that entails on the card. A lot of the people in the community spoke out about how over the years, one’s physical description will appear different as it is when first taking that particular photo. Residents also expressed about how everyone has the exercising right to vote and mention that people have fought and died for those rights. “I hope you do your best to guarantee everybody their constitutional right to vote,” said resident Robert McNeill. There were many African-American citizens present at this hearing that voiced their opinions on the new law. Some of them have said the law promotes voter suppression by these sudden changes. “I am against the voter ID law and all the new restrictions on voting,” said resident Constance Johnson Russell. “My concern is who police the judges [people who check the voter rolls at the polls] to ensure that they’re not abusing their authority.” Russell said that long lines will form at the voting polls because of the judges arguing over what photo ID is acceptable. Citizens of Forsyth County also spoke out how they want the staff to be trained properly at the voting polls. Those who had their two minutes to speak were able to speak again if they didn’t finish getting their point across. While the officials addressed the crowd that this hearing is to be formal, whispers and some applauding still broke out.

She’s director of GreenTree Peer Center and she said many of the people who use the center’s services, which focus on recovery and wellness, don’t have their own transportation. She provides many rides to help get them to the center because

of how long it can take them to use the bus. She said the new proposed transfer points around the city will help, but she’s hoping to lobby the City Council to increase the WSTA budget so it can expand service. “We’re going backwards as a city if we do not focus on letting people get from place to place, because if you don’t have a way to get from one place to another, you feel trapped,” she said.

tival, officials from the North Carolina Black Repertory Company made several important announcements concerning this years performances and visiting celebrities. Earlier this year, it was announced that Debbi Morgan and Darnell Williams, best known for their roles in soap opera “All My Children,” would be the celebrity co-chairs for this year’s event. Other celebrities that will be in the area during the festival include Bill Cobbs, Nate Jacobs, Obba Babatunde, Maurice Hines, Robert Hooks and a host of others. The festival will feature a wide range of theatrical performances, including dramas, comedies, musicals, choreoplays and multimedia. Festival goers will be able to choose from more than 130 performances of new works and black classics performed by professional black theatre companies from across the country and abroad. With 37 different companies, from 20 different states, and two outside countries, this year’s festival is guaranteed to have something for all ages to enjoy. The year’s festival will be Aug. 3-8. Renita Brewington, president of the N.C. Black Repertory Company believes black theatre is for everyone, and more than any other year, this year’s festival will reflect that as well. “This year’s festival is for everyone. We have events for all ages, from teens to seniors. We have it all,” Brewington said. The “TeenTastic” portion of the festival will be collaborating with the Winston-Salem Parks & Recreation Department to offer programs to entertain teens. From 7 p.m. to 12 a.m. at the Winston-Salem Fairgrounds, teens will be given a place to explore the festival. Complete with musical performances from local artist, this year’s “TeenTastic” will be more entertaining than years past. Evan Raleigh, city coordinator for the festival, said it was important that the teens had their own place to enjoy the festival. “Going into this year’s festival, we wanted to make sure we had something for everyone, including teens,” Raleigh said. “I think we accomplished that with ‘TeenTastic.’” During the event at Embassy Suites, it was also revealed that national recording artist K-Camp will be performing during “TeenTastic” as well. Sylvia Sprinkle-Hamlin, executive producer of the NBTF, has seen the evolution of the event and believes her late husband would be proud of what the festival has become. “Every year the festival seems to get better and better,” Sprinkle-Hamlin said. “This is exactly what Larry imagined when he laid out his plans for this event.” Other events that are drawing a lot of attention from this years festival include Midnight Poetry Jam, International Vendors Market, National Youth Talent Showcase and a number of other workshops and seminars to go along with a number of productions and films that highlight the festival every year. The National Black Theatre Festival was founded by the late Larry Leon Hamlin and is the international outreach program of the N.C. Black Repertory Company. Held biannually since 1989, the festival has been known to bring thousands of national and international patrons, professionals and scholars to Winston-Salem for a fiveday showcase of African American theatre, art and music.

W-S Urban League celebrates seniors from 18 counties

Editor’s Note: The story about the Urban League and Older Americans Month that ran on page A4 in the June 4 issue of The Chronicle contained editing material that was confusing. The story is below without that material.

Organization marks Older Americans Month BY TEVIN STINSON THE CHRONICLE

May marked the 50th anniversary of Older Americans Month. To celebrate the event, the Winston-Salem Urban league held a ceremony on Friday, May 29, to honor the participants of the Senior Community Service Employment Program. The program operates in 18 counties across Northwest North Carolina and provides low-income residents over the age of 55 with job training. After training is compete, the program helps the seniors find jobs related to their

training. SCSEP Director Patricia Sadler has been with the Winston-Salem Urban League for over 10 years and believes the program is a great way for seniors to get training, and is grateful for the employers who have worked with the program. “Without our employers, we wouldn’t be nearly as successful,” Sadler said. ”SMO Supreme and D&K Fresh Start hires a lot of our seniors, and we are very grateful for everything they do for us.” During the celebration, human resource managers from D&K Fresh Start and SMO Supreme received the

Premier Employer Award for their dedication to giving seniors an opportunity to gain employment. Laura Garduno of SMO Supreme said she wouldn’t know what to do without her seniors. She said they are a joy to work with and looks forward to working with the program in the future. “Our senior employees are amazing,” Garduno said. “I don’t know what we would do without them. We are grateful for everything this program does to help us.” Through a partnership with Forsyth Technical Community College, seniors can also take computer lessons to improve their chances of obtaining jobs.

The SCSEP also honored a number of college graduates during the ceremony. Carolyn Higgs and Robert Williams of Forsyth County are participants in the program, and both recently received their associate’s degrees. Higgs graduated from Forsyth Tech with a degree in Human Services Gerontology, while Williams attended ITT Tech, where he majored in Network Systems Administration. Williams, an Army veteran, said next year he plans to move to California, where he will continue to study to become a computer engineer. Although he just graduated, Robert has been offered a number of

positions in his field. “I’ve had a number of job offers since I graduated, but I’m just waiting for the right one,” Williams said. “I’ve been all around the country but I like California the most. That’s why I want to move there.” A number of other employers from Forsyth County were recognized during the celebration

including, Winston-Lak Family YMCA, Mas General Store, Pepsico an RGA Behavioral Health. Sadler believes the cel ebration should continu for the entire year. “We should be celebrat ing the entire year,” Sadle said, “We truly have som amazing people within thi program that should b proud of all they do.”

W-S firm is researching chronic disease in black men

Active and Healthy Brotherhood study is largest of its kind in nation BY TEVIN STINSON THE CHRONICLE

Chronic disease has been studied before, but Dr. Melicia C. Whitt-Glover and her company, Gramercy Research Group, are doing it on a large scale. African-American men are the focus this time, in the largest study of its kind for that group in the nation. Whitt-Glover, President and CEO of Gramercy Research Group, based in Winston-Salem, said she is excited to bring the program to the area. In the past, the company has conducted similar projects for women, but this will be the first time men have had a chance to participate. “For several years, we have been conducting projects to improve health in women,” Whitt-Glover said. “The men have been asking when they would have a chance to participate, and now we finally have a program for them.” Gramercy Research Group, 7990 North Point Blvd., Suite 108, has been approved for a $2.1 million funding for Active and Healthy Brotherhood (AHB). The Active and Healthy Brotherhood is the largest study in the country for

chronic disease self-management and prevention for African-American men. Dr. Whitt-Glover believes if the program is successful, it could pave the way for similar programs across the country. “There isn’t a program like this anywhere in the country, and for us to have the first one right here in Forsyth County is a big d e a l ,” s a i d WhittGlover. The program will prov i d e information on overGlover a l l health, healthy eating, physical activity, stress management and how to get medical care when needed. The purpose of the program will be to investigate ways to improve health/behaviors using an intervention that has been designed specifically for African-American men. The study eventually will involve 440 AfricanAmerican men between the ages of 30 and 64. More participants are needed. During the study, researchers will periodical-

ly collect information from participants related to their physical activity and health. That information will then be used to determine whether the program works to increase physical activity, increase the amount of fruits and vegetables eaten, decrease the amount of salt taken in, participate in medical care, and improve overall health. Tiffany Williams, project coordinator for the study, said that currently 31 males from Forsyth County are enrolled in the program, but word is traveling fast and she is seeing new faces everyday. “As more people come in and hear about the program, the more others will come,” Williams said. “A lot of people come in then they go out and tell their friends and family members about the program. We’ve even had sets of brothers come in and do the study together.” If all scheduled study

2 N.C. brothers seek to find normal life after being pardoned BY EMILY MASTERS ASSOCIATED PRESS

RALEIGH — Two brothers will receive more than $1 million from the state of North Carolina after they were wrongfully imprisoned for three decades in the killing of an 11-year-old girl, but for one of them, the windfall isn't the issue. “It ain't about money,'” said Henry McCollum, 51, who, along with his 47-year-old brother Leon Brown, was pardoned by Gov. Pat McCrory. `Ìt was about just being able to see that I was innocent of a crime I was charged with. It was just a blessing to be out here, to live a normal life.'' The pardon qualifies each of the brothers for $50,000 from the state for every year they were imprisoned, with a limit of $750,000 each. The compensation still needs to be approved by a state agency, but it is considered a formality. It's not clear exactly when they could get the money. McCrory's office announced Friday that he had signed the pardons. Defense attorneys have said the brothers were scared teenagers who had low IQs when they were questioned by police and coerced into confessing. McCollum was then 19, and –Henry McCollum Brown was 15. The DNA from cigarette butts found at the scene doesn't match Brown or McCollum, and fingerprints taken from a beer can also found there didn't belong to them, either. No physical evidence connects them to the crime, a judge and prosecutor acknowledged last fall. Based largely on their confessions, both were initially given death sentences, which were overturned. Upon retrial, McCollum was again sent to death row, while Brown kewas convicted of rape and sentenced to life. st The path to freedom began in early September after a djudge vacated their convictions and ordered their release, citing new DNA evidence that points to another man e-killing and raping 11-year-old Sabrina Buie in 1983. The orinmate whose DNA was on the cigarette is already serving a life sentence for a similar rape and slaying that happened t-less than a month after Sabrina's killing. er Current Robeson County District Attorney Johnson meBritt, who didn't prosecute the men, has said he's considisering whether to reopen the case and charge the other man. beThe cigarette butt was tested as part of the recent investigation by the North Carolina Innocence Inquiry Commission, a one-of-its-kind investigative panel. The brothers are still trying to come to terms with the changes that occurred in the outside world while they were behind bars. When McCollum walked off of death row, he needed help putting on the seatbelt in his father's car. At the time, he had never owned a cellphone and was unaccustomed to the Internet. Each man was given $45 by prison officials when they left. Brown learned the governor had pardoned him and his brother on Thursday night as he watched the news at his sister's home in Fayetteville. `Ì was upstairs in my room, because I wanted to be by myself when I hear,'' he said. ``Well, when he said it, right, tears start coming from my eyes. Tears of joy. And my sister, she ran upstairs. When she had hugged me, right, I had laid my head on her shoulder, crying. I couldn't stop crying, you know? It felt _ it felt good.'' And now that he's free, Brown suggests that he's ready to get about. `Ì do want to learn how to drive,'' he said. ``Because I wasn't able to do that years ago. But now I have the opportunity to do it.''

Juneteenth Luncheon explores what freedom means BY TODD LUCK THE CHRONICLE

The Juneteenth Luncheon commemorated the 150th anniversary of emancipation from slavery with accounts from those who experienced it, read by University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill history professor Dr. Reginald Hildebrand. The luncheon was held June 4 at Old Salem Museum and Gardens, which contains the historic St. Phillips Moravian Church, where emancipation was announced for local slaves in 1865. Juneteenth celebrates the end of slavery in the United States. It is held on or around June 19, when Union forces arrived in Galveston, Texas, with news of the end of slavery on June 19, 1865. Juneteenth is normally known as a large festive celebration, filled with food and entertainment as well as black history and culture. The luncheon is a different way to explore the end of slavery. “It gives people a chance to sit down and hear the entire story,” said

Cheryl Harry, Old Salem’s director of AfricanAmerican programing and founder of Triad Cultural Arts, which organizes the local Juneteenth festival. Harry said there’s always something new to say about emancipation. Last year, when “12 Years a Slave” won a Golden Globe for Best Dramatic Film (and went on to win the Oscar for Best Picture) and “Django Unchained” was released, the luncheon explored Hollywood’s depictions of slavery. This year, the focus was on what slaves did when they were free. Dr. Corey D.B. Walker, the dean of the WinstonSalem State University’s College of Arts, Sciences, Business and Education, asked what freedom really meant as he introduced the speaker. He quoted a dissertation by Hildebrand: “Emancipation had only determined that blacks would no longer be slaves; it said nothing about what they would be.” Hildebrand is an associate professor of AfricanAmerican Studies and History at UNC-Chapel Hill. His research focuses on the Emancipation and

the Reconstruction periods. He read firsthand accounts from various historical documents describing the announcement of emancipation in churches and the jubilant celebrations that followed. “To most of the four million black folk emancipated by civil war, God was real,” he said “He was real; they had meet him personally.” There was celebration like never before on that July 4th in Raleigh and deafening applause when the Declaration of Independence was read. It was the first true Independence Day the former slaves had experienced. But newfound hope met sobering realities as Hildebrand described the sadness that former slaves had when Union forces left. Their presence was all that protected them from their former masters and the society that enslaved them. He read accounts of blacks being denied the ability to rent or buy land and others having to pay high rents. He read from a black officer’s observations, that some Union soldiers near Tarboro where actually

helping former masters keep their slaves, and in Raleigh white people where running blacks off their lots because they dared go to school. “If the whites here had or could have their way, there would not be a free colored man in the state,” read Hildebrand. Hildebrand described a convention in Raleigh in which 150 black delegates discussed the best way to define and secure freedom. They came up with a list of freedoms they hoped to secure: the right to testify in court, serve on a jury, to act as council in court and to vote. “In other words, they insisted on being able to be involved in and respected by the criminal justice system, so that it would be operated openly and fairly,” he said. “And they also insisted on the right to vote. One hundred and fifty years later, we are still insisting on and defending those rights.” He closed with a notice published in a national newspaper by former slave, Hagar Outlaw. She was looking for her children who had gone to separate masters. In her plea that

they would some day find their mother again, she addressed her former master, Dr. Hugh Outlaw, asking him to let her children know she’s alive if he found them. The carefully worded sentence did not address him as “Master,” “Dr.” or even “Mr.,” which Hildebrand said sent a message to her former master. “With those words, I can hear that lady saying with dignified defiance: ‘You have done your worst and I am still here. I am still strong, and my dignity and my humanity and my love for my children could not be destroyed,” he said. He said that he didn’t know if Hagar Outlaw ever found her children. After his talk, he said the backlash against freed slaves was common across the South and in the North, blacks faced tension with white workers, who were scared the freedmen would take their jobs. He said freed slaves had tremendous tenacity in building their new lives, but that it

was crushed and oppressed by white people in that period using violence, discrimination and new laws. Former masters wanted to keep blacks as a cheap, controlled agricultural labor force, so they tried to prevent blacks from gaining education, becoming entrepreneurs and achieving political power. Also during the luncheon, the Cedric S. Rodney Unity Award was given to Joycelyn Johnson and Rev. Stephen McCutchan for their work in the community. Johnson is a longtime community activist and former City Council member. McCutchan is a retired pastor who worked to bridge the racial divide and helped found the Presbyterian Inter-Racial Dialogue.

The local Juneteenth festival will be June 20 at the corner of Martin Luther King Drive and Fifth Street, around the Winston Mutual Building, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Samm-Art Williams’ play ‘Home’ to be read nationwide on Monday

Playwright to be in Winston-Salem for reading SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

Project1VOICE, a national organization whose mission is to strengthen and promote African- American theater and playwrights, will present staged readings of “Home” by Samm-Art Williams of North Carolina to honor the 35th anniversary year of the play’s Broadway debut. The North Carolina Black Repertory Company, 610 Coliseum Drive, Suite 1, in Winston-Salem, will participate in the staged readings on Monday, June 15. Call 336-723-2266 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday for more information, or email info@ncblackrep.org. Williams will be present at the reading in Winston-Salem. The fifth annual 1VOICE/1PLAY/1DAY event will also commemorate another milestone — this one in civil rights — the 150th anniversary of the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. This amendment ended slavery and involuntary servitude in America, officially making the United States of America home for any then-enslaved persons and their descendants. This international theater experience, including over 30 black theaters, museums and diverse institutions throughout the world, will feature prominent actors including Negro Ensemble Company (NEC) alums and local enthusiasts. Many NEC alums will return to their HOME-towns to participate in what Project1VOICE refers to as HOME-comings. These events will explore the meaning of home —Is it a place, a state of mind or both? The readings will be followed by a panel discussion with Negro Ensemble Company alumni and enthusiasts in select cities. “Home” received great acclaim at NEC in 1979, transferring to Broadway’s Cort Theatre on May 7, 1980. The original cast starred Charles Brown, L. Scott Caldwell and Michele Shay with direction by NEC co-founder Douglas Turner Ward. The play ran for 278 performances.

About “Home” “Home” is a brilliantly inventive, lyrically expressive play deals joyfully with the coming of age of a young black man from rural South Carolina. The action begins on the small farm in South Carolina that Cephus Miles, an orphan, has inherited from his family. Young and strong, he is content to work the land — until his childhood sweetheart rejects him and goes off to college. Not believing in the Vietnam War, Cephus is imprisoned as a draft evader for refusing to serve. By the time he is released, Cephus has lost his land to the tax collector so he heads north to build a new life. With a good job and a slinky new girlfriend, he finds the big city exciting and rewarding. But soon after, the dream begins to fade—Cephus loses his job and becomes involved in drugs and prostitution. Pulling himself together, he returns to South Carolina and settles back on the land with his old sweetheart. Despite all, he has never lost his joyous goodwill, his indomitable spirit and the conviction that one day his quest for fulfillment will be

North Carolina GOP elects first black chairman T H E C H R ON I C LE

BY GARY D. ROBERTSON ASSOCIATED PRESS

RALEIGH â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The North Carolina Republican Party elected its first black chairman Saturday, June 6, in an upset victory over the candidate backed by Gov. Pat McCrory and other top leaders in the GOP establishment. Hasan Harnett of Harrisburg won the vote of Republican activists at the state GOP convention over Craig Collins of Gastonia. No vote was announced, although the roll call from North Carolina's 100 counties showed Harnett receiving 700 votes to 562 for Collins before Collins asked delegates from the convention floor to elect Harnett to a two-year term. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I'm humbled by the win, and it speaks volumes to the delegates who have made their voices be made known,â&#x20AC;? Harnett said in an interview after the vote. As for whether his victory will help broaden the party's base to more black voters, he added: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it's a good start and there's much more work to be done.â&#x20AC;? Collins had been endorsed by McCrory, U.S. Sens. Richard Burr and Thom Tillis and the top leaders at the General Assembly: Senate leader Phil Berger and House Speaker Tim Moore. Some delegates were unhappy with what they considered to be top leaders trying to predetermine the race's outcome. Endorsements for Collins, a regional party leader, came within hours of departing Chairman Claude Pope announcing his decision not to seek a second term. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The whole idea of this massive intervention in the leadership by the powers that be was said Vernon Robinson, a Forsyth

County delegate and former candidate for statewide office who is black. â&#x20AC;&#x153;`It shows (there are) much more activists and conservative delegates than there have been in the past.â&#x20AC;? Harnett, a campaign manager for a 2014 congressional candidate and minority outreach director for the state GOP, had been in the race weeks before Pope's announcement. He said he made 4,000 personal phone calls with delegates to the convention since mid-April. Harnett, 39, will serve at a time when Republicans control both the legislature and governor's office for the first time in more than

140 years. The 2016 election will feature the presidential race, along with reelection bids by McCrory and Burr. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need a bold, reinvigorated Republican Party who listens to grassroots,â&#x20AC;? Harnett said during his nomination speech, in which he arrived in the delegate hall in Raleigh with a small marching band drum

line banging out a beat to rev up the crowd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Together, we will win in 2016 because teamwork â&#x20AC;&#x153; McCrory said in a statement Saturday night that he had spoken with Harnett â&#x20AC;&#x153;forward to working with him to grow our party and â&#x20AC;&#x153; Rep. David Lewis, RHarnett, who officially nominated Collins, said he doesn't believe Harnett's

victory is a repudiation of Republican standard-bearers. He pointed out standing ovations at the convention for McCrory as well as Tillis, who also spoke. Usually about 25 percent of the delegates to the biennial convention are associated with the libertarian-leaning Republican Liberty Caucus, Lewis said, and this time, â&#x20AC;&#x153;they

were behind Hasanâ&#x20AC;? and helped him win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Certainly, Hasan will Lewis said.â&#x20AC;? Harnett is the state's first black chairman, according to party Executive Director Todd Poole, who said he had completed a history of state GOP chairmen and conventions. The state party was founded officially in 1867 by black and white residents. Robinson, who runs a super PAC backing Ben Carson for president, said he believes Harnett's victory will help expand the ``opportunity to broaden the electoral base in the GOP.''

How do you get ready for Blacks not comfortable with being Big March black: Lessons from Caitlyn Jenner on the City?

The movie “Selma” educated many and revived memories for others about the tough times of the Civil Rights Movement. Other movies have touched on parts of the movement. The documentary “Eyes on the Prize” showed real scenes of black people who protested getting bit by police dogs and various other kinds of police action. But how did all those people know how to protest? How did they learn how to march for freedom? Those questions are relevant today as what has been called the greatest litigation on voting rights since Selma prepares to come to Winston-Salem. On July 13, hundreds of people are expected to descend on the city as the federal lawsuit N.C. NAACP v. McCrory is heard. This is the lawsuit filed to overturn the North Carolina voter law that requires a government-issued identification card to vote and ends various voter laws. “July the 13th, we begin the most important voting rights litigation since Selma. We’re saying this is our Selma,” the Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II, president of the N.C. NAACP, said on May 30. “On that day, we go to trial, but that evening we will have a national voting rights march and rally in support of voting rights. And we’re saying that because we want everybody here to mobilize hundreds of people to come back on that day.” The N.C. NAACP is in the process of gaining commitments from people who will work toward a show of force on July 13. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People also is planning a march, this –Rev. Dr. William J. one for later in the Barber II, president of the summer. This year’s N.C. NAACP "Journey for Justice" will go 850 miles, from Selma, Alabama, to Washington, D.C. — through Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia — “to highlight the need for criminal justice and voting reforms because our lives matter and our children deserve to live,” says Cornell William Brooks, president/CEO of the Baltimore-based NAACP. How does an organization mobilize for a march in the 21st century, a time in which we use new tools to communicate with each other? How do you reach youth who appear to have crooked necks because of all the texting they do? How do you reach the grandmothers with their iPads full of photos of grandchildren, not manifestos? How do you reach the grandfathers who would rather go fishing than stage a protest? Isn’t all this protest talk passé’? After all, it was 50 years ago when all the hard work was done, right? Wrong. Fifty years ago, the Civil Rights Movement was a force because people were sick and tired of being sick and tired of the injustice heaped upon them. Black people had pride and felt they had to prove that they were just as good as white people. Back then, the Civil Rights Movement moved through a segregated society in which there were no mobile phones with text messaging or computers with email. The desire to live as human beings and be treated as such was so great that people sacrificed to gain the inalienable rights that they were supposed to have. Where is the sacrifice today? Where is the concern as those rights are being taken away? Black and white Americans died for voting rights, but many black people still don’t vote. It’s easy to complain when people who don’t have black people’s interest at heart are elected. It’s hard to get them removed if you don’t vote them out. As the July 13 date approaches, black Americans in Winston-Salem should remember their history, vow never to return to those times and act with finances and other means to make sure that happens.

“July the 13th, we begin the most important voting rights litigation since Selma. We’re saying this is our Selma.”

Caitlyn, “the new normal” for the former Bruce Jenner’s transgender experience – and the frenzied media attention given to it – sparked my rethinking about a critical mass of Black Americans who made the change from being black, in exchange for being accepted by mainstream white society and who, of their own free will, abandoned key elements of their former selves, all to feel assimilated. Being black has nothing to do with the absurd idea of race as a biological issue. I refer to consciousness of kind and pride, the self-confident appreciation for the unique and valuable contributions of blacks to world history, and the compassionate understanding of and responsiveness to the situation of less fortunate blacks. Branded mockingly as Black Anglo Saxons, these are the blacks who want to fit in, not stand out, and they work deliberately to present themselves and talk with the right accent act more like and ingratiate themselves to the so-called dominant group. Unfortunately, this crowd of code switchers has reproduced themselves, now for two generations. Most Southern-born and bred black Baby Boomers like me attended excellent schools; that is, up until the word “segregated,” as defined by the liberal gatekeepers, came to mean that such institutions were inferior because blacks attended and managed them. Historically black colleges feel the effects now in terms of trying to enroll a generation

that has been taught “the white man’s ice is colder.” The educational system requires no serious study of black history and culture and any black figure to the political left of Dr. Martin Luther King is pilloried as an unpatriotic militant. Five decades ago, being black extended not only far

didn’t know personally then were of a kindred spirit. The ideas prevalent in that period and space, particularly as expressed in language, literature, music, philosophy, politics and religion were the canvas on which a new picture of America would be painted. Millions of black children

beyond the color of dark skin and dashikis and Afro hairstyles, but it also reached into the very core of most blacks’ self-awareness, their spirits, and was the driver of an evolving value system. When James Brown recorded “Say it Loud, I’m Black and I’m Proud” in 1968, many blacks, fresh from attending Dr. King’s funeral, were ready to spend the rest of their lives making equality, freedom and justice a reality. All of my friends and most of the black people I

got caught up in this; they have African and Africanized names and their parents, my generation, did and said things that gave emphasis to black unity. Then something curious happened, starting back when Bruce Jenner was an Olympic champion in 1972. This conspicuous change popularized the turn of phrase on the acronym NAACP: “Negroes Ain’t Acting Like Colored People.” Many blacks – now living the American Dream – under-

went the equivalent of becoming transraced. “We” became “I” and for many who benefitted most from the civil rights movement, “me and mine” and “personal success” hushed the earlier sounds of black solidarity. “Black Power,” that signature slogan of the turbulent times – a call for economic clout and political influence – was shanghaied and made into an anti-white rant. This surgical-like social operation – the social engineering into the equivalent of the prefrontal lobe of blacks’ social and cultural souls – was complete within a decade. The platform of racial integration became the operating table on which the transformation of many blacks took place, where cultural distinctions or putting something into a racial context became politically incorrect. The blacks who should be best suited educationally to articulate and propose solutions to the major problems of blacks in the 21st century – still the problem of the color line – either don’t have a clue or they are simply passing, as it were, not interested. I have no moral judgment to pass on Bruce Jenner’s decision to transition to being a woman, but I do, as a socially conscious black man, have difficulty dealing with blacks who, because they struggle with their racial identity, make it hard for the rest of us to be ourselves and to do what needs to be done. No narcissism, no vanity in that, and I am curious to see how Vanity Fair rolls this out, what with Ebony and Jet now in the closet.

POLICE SHOOTINGS

Cornell W. Brooks

Freddie Gray wasn't the only person to die at the hands of Guest the police in Columnist April. Before Mr. Gray suffered three broken vertebrae during the course of his arrest by Baltimore police, 17-year-old Justus Howell was fatally shot by an unidentified officer in Zion, Ill. Like the death of Mr. Gray, Mr. Howell's death was ruled a homicide. On the day that Mr. Gray was laid to rest protests and demonstrations against police brutality rung out in Baltimore, Agroup of local and federal law enforcement officers arrived at the home of 20year-old Terrance Kellom, who was a suspect in a robbery case. Less than 10 minutes after police entered Terrance Kellom's home he was dead, shot several times by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer who was part of an interagency fugitive task force for reasons that remain unclear. Then there was 37-year-old Natasha Mckenna. This 130-pound woman died after she was Taser-shocked four times by the Fairfax, Virginia, police Feb. 3 with her hands cuffed behind her back, shackled around her legs, with a hobble strap connecting both of the restraints. Police say they are still investigating. More than 400 people have died while in police custody this year and the list keeps growing, according to an online database that compiles news reports of instances of use of deadly force. While there is no comprehensive national database compiled by law enforcement agencies of police's use of excessive or deadly force in the United States, the number of people both severely and fatally injured while in police custody underscores a distressing symptom of the untested and overaggressive policing culture that has become commonplace in communities of color all across the country.

fix its unjust and ineffective criminal justice system?

The NAACP says no more.

The fight for better policing and greater accountability has been at the forefront of the NAACP's work since its inception, and it's a fight that we know how to win. One of our most recent achievements: the NAACP alongside its valiant coalition partners helping to dismantle the practice of stop-and-risk in New York and leveraging a successful collaborative campaign to pass anti-racial profiling and police accountability measures. And we have no intention of slowing down. Now the NAACP is doubling down on advocating for body-worn cameras, car cameras and gun and Taser cameras. The availability of video evidence of police interactions with civilians can lead to significant improvements in police accountability and trust among a community. Additionally, we must deploy the use of independent investigation bodies and the use of civilian review boards. But we cannot do it alone. Join us in our fight. Here are three simple ways that you can help.

*Join the NAACP: Become a part of the largest civil rights organization in the nation. When you become a member of the NAACP, you are doing more than joining an organization; you are becoming a part of a community. Our membership community is the reason we've been able to protect, defend, and fight for our civil rights and human rights for over a century. *Help us pass the End Racial Profiling Act: The End Racial Profiling Act has been re-introduced in both the U.S. Senate the U.S. House of Representatives. The End Racial Profiling Act comprehensively addresses the insidious practice of biased treatment by law enforcement because of who you are, or who you are perceived to be, by law enforcement. Call your U.S. senators and representative in Washington and tell them to pass the End Racial Profiling Act. The switchboard phone number is 202-224-3121.

Justice: Last year, our "Journey for Justice" campaign began with a 134-mile, seven-day march from Ferguson to Jefferson City, Missouri, to join members of the Ferguson community in protesting the death of Michael Brown at the hands of the police, and to provide leadership to the predominantly young activists, participants in democracy. This year, we are continuing our work with America's Journey for Justice, with a trek along the 850-mile route from Selma, Alabama, to Washington, D.C. — through Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia — to highlight the need for criminal justice and voting reforms because our lives matter and our children deserve to live. Every American deserves the opportunity to grow and thrive and reach their full potential. And every American child has the potential to become our nation's leading scientists, entrepreneurs, scholars, lawmakers and law enforcement officials. It is us who must protect them. The NAACP remains committed to this promise — fighting to ensure that

communities of color, our children especially, are judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin in the eyes of the law. For 106 years, this is what we have stood for and we will not waver.

Solutions to problems summer can bring for students and parents James Hankins

Guest Columnist Here are some of the problems that can be solved with summer educational plans for students and parents:

*Many students never open a book during the summer. *They sleep until around 1 p.m. and only get up to raid the refrigerator when their stomachs start to growl from hunger pains. *They hang out in the mall, a friend’s house and on a few corners or other places that the parents are not aware of.

*The majority of their time is spent talking/texting on the phone, listening to music, using social media/playing computer games and watching television. *The parents failed to assign them chores or plan

*Support America's

their summer educational activities.

or more books from the recommended reading list to prepare them for their next grade level. Encourage first, then demand if necessary they read something every day.

SOLUTIONS: Here are some of the solutions to the problems that summer brings for students and parents:

*To help your child succeed, all parents, guardians and concerned relatives must write out a plan for the students under their care for the summer. It will be easier to carry out if the student is willing, help write it, but if they are not you must do it anyway. You must step up and be loving, but firm. If you do not put your foot down, who will?

NOTE: My wife and I developed this plan for our newborn son. It helped make him the successful and enthusiastic social studies teacher he is today. This is his sixth year and he loves his job. It will work for your children and grandchildren!!! *You must keep a good supply of quality reading material in your home. The only cost to your family will be around $40 a year for a subscription to your local Black newspaper. All

of the other necessary reading materials can be checked out free from your local library.

*Newborn up to Kindergarten: Read to your children sometime during each day and at bedtime. Teach them by using pictures, letters, numbers, words, sounds, shapes, colors and everything they see during the course of a day. Never forget, you are their first and most important teacher. This is the formative time in their life and

they think you are the smartest person in the world. Use this time to teach them that learning is fun. Use the 75 /25 rule. Spend 75 percent of their time reading, writing, coloring, drawing and singing. The other 25 percent can be used on games, free playing and a little television viewing.

*Elementary to Middle School: Most public libraries offer a summer reading program for children. Have them pick five

*High School: Do not allow your children to have any grade below a C+ unless they have a learning problem. Do not allow the school system psychologist to place your child in special education class until you receive direct proof of a problem. It is a fact that Black students are far too often placed based on attitude rather than aptitude. Hire a reputable educational specialist not connected with your school system to test your child.

*First ask your church, outreach organizations and family members for help. If they refuse, then borrow the money from a loan company if that is your last result. It is that important because this placement will help determine your children and grandchildren future. *Guide the precious gifts GOD gave you, your beautiful children, through

two hours each day of reading something educational, writing summaries and meditating. Teach them how to analyze their problems and research the solutions. Strengthen your family unit by having frequent family discussions.

Parents as their leaders must also abide by the twohour shut down rule. Read something that will help you reach the next step in your occupation, prepare you for another career and help you become a bettereducated voter. The election year of 2016 is just around the corner. Proverbs 22:6—Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not turn from it.

Author India Reaves returns to alma mater Carver bearing gifts

BY TEVIN STINSON THE CHRONICLE

When author India Reaves met Carver High School principal Travis Taylor, she jokingly told him that she should be the one to deliver the commencement speech. What she did not expect was for Taylor to take her up on her offer. He did. A graduate and former teacher at Carver High School, Reaves’ energy and passion made her stand out above all the other candidates. “Her energy, passion and the way she connects with students and can identify with their lives …” Taylor said. “Other alums were in the running as well, but India was the best selection at the time.” After she got the news she would be delivering the speech Reaves, who is an author, decided that she could not return to her alma mater empty handed. After the publisher of her book “I’m T.O.U.G.H” told her that it would cost $500 to get every graduating senior a copy of her book, Reaves took to social media to rally Carver Nation to help raise funds for the books. What happened next was truly amazing, Reaves said. “I wanted to start a GoFundMe page, but I figured I knew enough Yellow

T H E C H R ON I C LE Jackets that I didn’t need to do that,” Reaves said. “Before I knew it, people were calling me to donate money.” In less than 24 hours, Reaves and Carver Nation had raised over $400. “I was just amazed at how quickly the community rallied behind my idea, so I told myself, ‘If we can do that in less than 24 hours, how much can we raise over the two weeks leading up to graduation?’” Reaves said. Reaves then decided to give three of the graduating seniors book scholarships. Once again, Carver alumni came out in numbers to help with the project. What started out as three scholarships of $250 each grew to $750 each. “People really came out of nowhere,” India said.“People I hadn’t spoken to in years werecalling me and donating money, not even pledges, I mean actual cash.” When picking the students who would receive the scholarships, India said she wanted the students who weren’t straight “A” students but were still just as deserving of the scholarships. “I wanted three ‘B’-plus students who may not be at the top but had did what they needed to do.” Reaves said. With the help of faculty and staff members, Tamir Glenn, Kayla Smith and Marlene Telez were selected for the scholarships. Tamir will be attending North Carolina A&T University; Kayla, Forsyth Tech Community College; and Marlene,

William Peace University in Raleigh. “These three students epitomize what my book ‘I’m T.O.U.G.H’ is about” Reaves said. “Tackling obstacles and unleashing God’s hope, all three of these students had to overcome some obstacles during their four years of high school, and I’m just happy I could help them with these scholarships.” During her speech to the Carver gradu-

ates, India told the class of 2015 that it was important that on their journey through life, they should make sure they leave fossils instead of footprints. Principal Taylor is sure Reaves’ speech will be one the graduates will never forget. “The speech was not generic; it was tailored for Carver,” Taylor said. “To become a fossil, you must survive obstacles, but when that is done, your place in

More than 150 residents, members, partners, stakeholders and supporters of Neighbors for Better Neighborhoods (NBN) gathered at the McNeil Banquet Hall in the Anderson Center of Winston-Salem State University on Saturday, June 6. As Daryl Little and Friends Band provided background music, the audience observed video interviews honoring the following community leaders: The Rev. Dr. John Mendez, legacy leadership honoree; Linda Sutton, grassroots leadership honoree; Michael Clements for outstanding board leadership; and Cleveland Avenue Transformation Team (CATT) for emerging leadership. The keynote speaker for the gathering was Hazel Mack, parent and founder of Carter G. Woodson School. Organized in 1991, the NBN was on public display as the group honored community leaders during their fourth annual “We've Got Roots” celebration. “At NBN, we meet people where they are, connecting with strategic allies for over 24 years. We have leveraged community partnerships across age, race, gender and economic gaps, and our roots connect with Salem College, Wake Forest University, and Winston-Salem State University,” said Cornelius Graves, board chairman. “These institutions provide us with student volunteers, fresh ideas, different perspectives, and a unique blend of grassroots advocacy.” RaVonda Dalton-Rann, mistress of ceremonies, read the proclamation from the City of Winston-Salem designating the intersection of Broad Street and Pilot View Street downtown as NBN Way. This honorary street is marked near the

Augsburg Community Center, where Neighbors for Better Neighborhoods has resided for the past four years. In her speech, Mack focused on reminding the audience of some important characteristics of NBN members and supporters after 25 years of working together just in case the struggle “becomes mundane and tiring. Remember our community has value and worth. “Unlike those who take advantage of those who come to our community, you understand that out community has value. We can focus on a litany of the things we do not have. We can focus on the high unemployment rate or the food deserts, but we must understand there are other things you need to take inventory of that are positive,” Mack said. “The love we have among each other was noticeable when I worked in eastern Carolina's poor areas. … Also, we are a God-fearing people at heart. Thirdly, we are brave and courageous in the face of those who transgress against us. Courage! Courage! Courage!” Mack said. “Remember money is not the arbiter of all things. As a teen in high school, I joined the Black Panther Party. We worked 24/7 in the community. We had no pay check . . .We started a free breakfast program. We had time, energy, so much more to offer. Think outside the box. If you are tied to the dollar, you will lose. … We are who we have been waiting for. … We must keep on resisting what the media says Resist! Resist! Resist! Never give up!” Mack said.

Dalton-Rann described Clements as “one of the most courageous brothers I have ever met. He can join a group and become more than a part of it.” Clements gave much honor to those who helped to keep the NBN going for the past 25 years.

*The Rev. Dr. John Mendez was honored for his legacy of service. “I am humbled and challenged by this award. I seldom think about what I do, I just do it. Going back to my teen years, my wife, Sarah, and I tried to make a difference, but this award is special to me because none compares when grassroots people recognize and honor you because throughout all these years, we have fought for people who did not deserve to be oppressed, or discriminated against, did not deserve to be treated like they did not matter,” Mendez said. *Honoree Linda Sutton received the grassroots recognition, having been active in the community since the early 1970s as a union organizer and special voter registration commissioner. “People say that I can always convince others to get involved. I continue to fight for the vote because I believe in democracy. I believe, like Lyndon B. Johnson, that the vote is a powerful thing!” Sutton said. *The CATT members of the Cleveland Avenue Transformation Team received the award for emerging leadership.

Glenn football coach gets chance of a lifetime

Father and son learn to cope with each other on the field BY TEVIN STINSON THE CHRONICLE

For nearly 25 years, Donald Carter Sr. has coached football at the high school level, but over the past four seasons, he’s had the opportunity of a lifetime, to coach his only child, Donald Jr., who is finishing up his senior year at Glenn High School. When offered the position, Carter Sr. said it was a no-brainer. He sees it as an opportunity to help his son grow as an athlete and as a man. “You don’t get many opportunities to coach your own son at any level of the sport, but especially at the high school level,” Carter said. During his playing days, Donald Sr. was a force to be reckoned with. As a linebacker at West Forsyth, he was known as a hard-hitting runstopper who always seemed to be one step ahead of his blockers at all times. He went on to earn a scholarship to play at Lees-McRae College, where he played two years before transferring to Winston-Salem State University. Donald Jr., who has heard a countless

number of stories about his father’s playing days, said he didn’t try to model his game after his father but instead took his words of advice and put his own twist on them. “I don’t think I took anything from his physical game,” Donald Jr. said. “I just took from his experiences and knowledge of the game.” During his senior season, Donald Jr. racked up 130 tackles, five sacks and a number of forced fumbles. At first, Donald Jr. admits it was hard playing for his dad, who is known for his intensity on game days and even practices. Eventually he learned to distinguish the difference between coach and father. “At first it was very hard,” Donald Jr. said. “But by my senior year, I learned to just deal with it.” Early in the process, if Donald Jr. missed a few tackles in a row or had a misstep in practice, Donald Sr. would be the first to be in his ear to tell him about it. But as time passed and with the help of the Bobcat coaching staff, Donald Sr. learned See Cope on B3

Donald Carter Sr. felt like he had opportunity of a lifetime when four years ago he was offered a position at Glenn High School, where his son Donald Carter Jr. was a linebacker. Although it was hard at times the father and son learned to deal with it.

BASEBALL

Dash slugger’s sole goal: ‘play and compete at the highest level’ Chris Jacobs has hit 89 home runs during his minor-league career.

Photos by Craig T. Greenlee

BY CRAIG T. GREENLEE FOR THE CHRONICLE

Chris Jacobs is built for power. Standing 6-feet-5 inches and weighing 260 pounds, the Winston-Salem native has the look of a basketball power forward or a football tight end/linebacker. Baseball, though, has always been his first love. Jacobs continues to pursue his dream of playing in the Major Leagues one day. For his career, Jacobs has belted 89 home runs with 328 RBIs, and he has a better than decent batting average for a long-ball hitter at .266. Over the past three seasons,

he’s hit 56 home runs. The Los Angeles Dodgers took Jacobs, the starting first baseman for the Winston-Salem Dash, in the 2007 draft after his graduation from Glenn High School. He was an All-State pick as a senior. Two years ago, he was promoted to the Double-A level (Chattanooga Lookouts) but returned to the Single-A California League (Rancho Cucamonga Quakes) after a short stint. Last year may have been Jacobs’s best as a pro. In his third season with the Quakes, he slammed 25 home runs and drove in 94 runs, in spite of playing the final month of the season with a torn ligament in his wrist.

The Chicago White Sox signed Jacobs in January, and then assigned him to play for his hometown team in midApril. The assignment didn’t signal a promotion. The Dash plays in the Carolina League, which is the same Single-A level as the California League. So, it’s hardly surprising that he received the news with mixed emotions. “It’s a little bittersweet coming back home to play in high-A (league) after playing for a few years,” said Jacobs. “But to come home and be able to play in front of my family, that was a real up-side to it. It’s great to have my mom in the stands so I can go home to good cooking.

Parkland High grad pumped about college track future BY CRAIG T. GREENLEE FOR THE CHRONICLE

Like all elite-level sprinters, Katlin Sherman has superior foot speed. In her case, however, there’s more to it than having the ability to run fast. There’s an inner sizzle that feeds her drive to be the best of the best – especially when championships of any kind are on the line. It’s an intangible that served Sherman well during her time at Parkland High. That same trait figures to take her even further when she begins her college track career at UNC-Chapel Hill this fall.

“Katlin has that ‘want to’ mentality,” said Nicole Hudson, Tar Heels sprints/hurdles coach. “In watching her run, you notice right away that her will to win is very strong. Katlin is always ready to compete, and it doesn’t matter who the opponent is.” A year ago, Sherman, a junior at that time, won the 100 and 200meter dashes at the Class 4-A state outdoor track and field championships. She also anchored Parkland’s state title-winning 4x100 and 4x200 relays and was voted state meet Most Valuable Player. As a result, she emerged as a hot

prospect in the eyes of a host of major-college programs. Aside from the Tar Heels, Sherman attracted heavy interest from Tennessee, East Carolina, Virginia Tech, South Carolina and Texas A&M. “We need athletes like Katlin who can help Carolina track return to the level of dominance we had in the late 1990s/early 2000s,” Hudson said. “We’re excited to have her join us. She has those qualities that will enable her to do well in the classroom and on the track. The fact that she was a key figure on a deep Parkland team See Future on B2

WSSU keeps ‘pushing to the top’ in women’s track BY CRAIG T. GREENLEE FOR THE CHRONICLE

When it comes to women’s cross-country and track and field, this past school year was arguably the most productive in recent memory at WinstonSalem State University. At the national level, the Lady Rams had seven athletes to earn AllAmerica honors (indoors and outdoors) in individual events and relays. At last month’s NCAA Division II outdoor meet, WSSU posted a 12th-place team finish, the best ever in school history. For the second year in a row, the Lady Rams placed second in the nation in the 4x100 relay. The foursome of Tajanel McNeill, Raven Covington, Nya Michaux and Ty-Leah Hampton overcame problems with baton passes to run a personal-best time of 45.5 seconds. Conference-wise, Coach Inez Turner’s squad, comprised mostly of middle-distance track runners, finished one point short of sharing the CIAA crosscountry title with Lincoln University (Pennsylvania).

Future

This past winter, WSSU flexed its collective muscle by winning the CIAA indoor championships. The Lady Rams made a strong run at the league outdoor team trophy, but finished as runners-up behind Saint Augustine’s. Turner readily admits that she’s pleased with all three facets of the program. But she makes it clear that she’s far from being satisfied. “With all that’s been accomplished, I feel happy, blessed and honored,” she said. “But I also know that we have to keep working and keep pushing our way to the top. We’re not there yet.” Even though WSSU loses nine seniors from this year, there’s more than enough returning talent to assure that the program continues to grow. Five of the seven Lady Rams AllAmerican just completed their sophomore seasons. “The foundation has been laid,” said Turner. “This program is going in the right direction. A lot of credit goes to our seniors. They left a footprint and provided a legacy for this program. Next year, we’re looking to win all three CIAA championships and

“But I also know that we have to keep working and keep pushing our way to the top. We’re not there yet.” – Inez Turner, Coach

Raven Hamilton emerged as a prime contributor in the 800-meter run and 4x400 relay.

have a better showing at the indoor and outdoor nationals. We’ve developed a process here, and it works. “The easy part is putting together the track workouts. The big challenge is establishing discipline, so that they push themselves every day in practice. They’ve started to

realize that the end results have a lot to do with what they do on a daily basis. We continue to provide encouragement so that they truly understand what it takes to be a champion.” The Lady Rams got a big boost from two promising prospects this past season. Since both are underclassmen who figure to be around for a few seasons. Raven Hamilton, a sophomore, continued to improve as she gained more race experience at the 800-meter distance. Domtila Kiplagat, a freshman distance runner from Kenya, made an immediate impact after she joined the team in January. Hamilton came to WSSU as a 200/400 sprinter from Greensboro Southern Guilford. Turner convinced Hamilton to move up to the 800 and the switch paid off handsomely.

It didn't take long for distance runner Domtila Kiplagat to establish herself as a formidable factor for the Lady Rams. In her first year as a novice half-miler, Hamilton placed second at the CIAA indoor meet. Two months later, she beat the conference indoor champ (Domenique Julian-Williams of Johnson C. Smith) by .11 seconds to take the CIAA outdoor 800

says a lot about her skill set and what she’s capable of doing in the future.” This spring, Sherman, who signed with UNC last November, fell short in her efforts to duplicate another state championship sprint double. Even so, there were two memorable sequences from 2015 that revealed much about Sherman’s competitive persona. At the state indoor meet in February, Sherman put on an impressive display in the 4x400 relay. Initially, Sherman led the pack on the second leg, but she seemed to be overcome by fatigue. In the meantime, Leesville Road, Raleigh Wakefield and Cary took over as the frontrunners. Sherman, however, wasn’t finished. With about 300 meters to go, she ran down three people to put the Mustangs back in front. One of the three runners was Layla White of Cary, the defending state outdoor champ at 400 meters.

That’s a plus. When I lived on the other side of the country (West Coast), I’d eat fast food nearly every night.” This season got off to a wobbly start for Jacobs, who struggled at the plate with a .180 batting average in his first 16 games with the Dash. Since then, it’s been a vastly different story. Jacobs has raised his average by 93 points and was hitting a teamhigh .273 at the start of this week. The former Glenn star recently granted “SportsWeek” some interview time to discuss his career in pro baseball.

SW: Describe your journey as a pro athlete up to now. Jacobs: It’s been one, big growing experience. I learned a lot about myself and how to handle adversity. When things didn’t go my way, I learned how to keep my head up. Aside from that, I learned how to make the most of the opportunities that come my way. SW: Any advice for athletes who want to turn pro right out of high school? Jacobs: A lot depends on the athlete and their situation. If he has the talent and the opportunity to go far, then I say go for it. Work as hard as you can and keep your eyes on the prize. SW: What’s one of the most important lessons that you’ve learned? Jacobs: I’m glad that my dad [Eugene Jacobs] taught me how to fight – how to keep on going and not give up. That’s very helpful in a game like baseball, where there’s a lot of failure. SW: How’s that? Jacobs: In baseball, the best of the best fail seven out of 10 times. So, there’s a need to know how to deal with adversity. It takes strength and fortitude to keep moving forward. It all comes down to the belief you have in yourself. I thank God for every opportunity I’ve ever had. SW: What’s been your biggest challengeJacobs: The main thing in baseball is consistency.

Of course, I’d like to have had more success earlier in teams win on a daily basis. Throughout the years I’ve been play- my career. But in looking back, I can see ing – little by little – I’ve picked up bits of that everything I’ve gone through has information that’s been very helpful. Even helped to make me who I am now.

title (2 minutes, 12.34 seconds). Hamilton also ran on the 4x400 relay that delivered a top-5 finish at the Division II outdoor nationals. “Raven Hamilton pushed herself and she listened,” said Turner. “Those are the main reasons why she ended up being an AllAmerican. There’s no question that greater things are in store for her.” Within one month after her arrival, Kiplagat proved herself as a budding star by winning the 3,000 meters at the indoor championships and anchoring the Lady Rams first-place distance-medley relay team. Kiplagat also qualified for indoor nationals in the 5,000 and finished 18th. During the spring, Kiplagat won the 1,500 and 3,000meter races at the conference outdoor championships. “Domtila came in and we threw her right into the fire,” said Turner. “What she was able to accomplish in four months is unbelievable. I can’t wait to see what she’ll be able to do with a full season of training. She’s a toughminded athlete whose future is very bright.” vented her from being totally healthy. “It’s been a long time since I took any time off,” said Sherman, who maintained a 3.7 grade-point average as a senior. “Physically, mentally and emotionally, I needed to get some rest. The reason I continue to train is so I won’t get destroyed during workouts when I get to Chapel Hill. I know that college workouts are no joke and I want to be ready for that.” Sherman, who plans to major in exercise sport science, looks forward to the future with eager anticipation. There’s no doubt in her mind that Chapel Hill is right place for her to be. “My first reason for choosing UNC is academics,” she said. “When I made my visit, I felt like I was accepted right away by the team, coaches and other staff members. Not only do I get to go to school in my home state, but I have a genuine opportunity to help create another dynasty like Parkland. I’m confident that Carolina will provide everything I need to help make that happen.”

baseball. You could be doing the exact same things at the plate with the exact same swing. But the numbers might not be the same every season. There are guys in the Majors who hit 40 home runs last year. But so far this season, they’ve only homered two or three times. SW: So, how do you get back to playing at the level you were at a year ago? Jacobs: You have to keep working, keep grinding. My swing doesn’t feel as good as it has in the past. But that doesn’t mean that things won’t turn around real soon. I’m doing a lot of good work with our hitting coaches, trying to find a good routine. When I was in spring training I hit balls everywhere – not over the fence – but a lot of hard line drives. Since I’ve been here, I’ve gotten a little off of what I was doing during spring training. With the time I’m putting in with my coaches, it will hopefully carry over to game situations like it should. SW: You’re closing in on a career milestone for home runs. Were you aware of that? Jacobs: That was first brought to my attention after I hit my first home run here (April 29). Prior to that, I really hadn’t given it any thought at all. Yeah, it would be cool for me to hit 11 more home runs this season and make it an even 100 for my career. SW: What is it that you most want to accomplish this season? Jacobs: When I think about it, it’s not about the season, it’s about the career. I just want to reach my full potential. It might not be this year. It might be next year, or the year after. What it all boils down to is for me to keep working hard. My prime goal is to prove that I can play and compete at the highest level. In spring training I played with Charlotte’s Triple-A team [Knights]. I got the opportunity to play against a lot of players who are on the 40-man rosters of Major League teams. I played against them and did real well. That just sparked a fire and let me know that I really can do this.

SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

Winston-Salem, NC-Salem College Director of Athletics, Melissa Barrett, has announced that Scott Long has been promoted to full-time softball coach and athletics fundraising and marketing coordinator. This past 2015 season, Long led the softball program to an overall record of 2116-2 and their first Great South Athletic Conference Tournament Championship. The Spirits finished in third-place at the Newport News Regional. "As coordinator of athletics fundraising and marketing, Long will oversee a comprehensive fundraising and sponsorship effort for the athletics department," said Barrett. "We are excited to expand Coach Long's involvement with our student-athletes and the Salem College com-

munity. He is a true professional and is dedicated to advancing the Salem College athletics programs." Long was hired as the softball coach at Salem in 2011. He started the NCAA DIII era for the Spirits in 2012. During the past four years, Long has coached twenty players to the GSAC All-Conference team and twelve to the GSAC All-Freshman team. This year, Maggie Fritts earned GSAC Freshman of the Year honors, and Lauryn Smith was the GSAC Tournament Most Valuable Player. Long came to Salem from Calvary Baptist High School in Winston-Salem, where he coached for four years. He led Calvary to a 46-22 record, and was the 2008 Triangle Athletic Conference Coach of the Year.

to tone it down a bit. “I always had our coaching staff putting bugs in my ear, telling me to lighten up on him.” Donald Sr. said. “After a while, I started to use different approaches to see how he would respond.” Donald Jr. graduated last week and will be attending North Carolina A&T University in the fall, where he will be studying to become an engineer. Even though he has seen his son accomplish a lot on the field, Donald Sr. said seeing his son walk across the stage was always the most important goal. “Once you walk across that stage, life really begins,” Donald Sr. said. “It’s a lot ahead for him. He has all the resources and tools to be successful, and more than anything, I want him to reach his goal of becoming a engineer.”

You Can’t Fool God

Lesson Scripture: amos 5: 1415, 18-27

By the end of this lesson, we should • examine God’s warnings and judgments on his people • analyze our behaviors to expose our guilt • Seek good for all people

Background: amos gave a long list of behaviors that God will judge israel for. he cited the northern Kingdom for turning away from God. they received God’s blessing of prosperity and a strong army. life was going smoothly for them. their prosperity led them away from God. You know how that is; we get the big head thinking that it is just us. the prophet presented them with several questions that highlighted cause and effect scenarios to show them their predicament. they became selfish and greedy and then had the nerve to give God “lip service” worship! the poor and needy became the pawns of the rich and powerful. the wealthy and powerful oppressed and used the poor and needy for their benefit. the more wealth and power they got, the more they wanted! amos

Whisonant

reminded them of their history, asking “can’t you learn from the past?” God’s judgment was cerMildred tain. the wives of the rich and Peppers famous were no better than the men. none of God’s previous judgments against them Sunday opened their eyes. Judgment School Lesson was inevitable! according to UMi Direction, chapter 5 was a eulogy for the dead nation of israel. Due to the depth of their sins, judgment was going to be harsh. amos stated that israel’s dead body would be exposed to the elements (brutal image). their wealth, power, and idols could not save them! the only hope for israel was to repent and return to God.

Lesson: amos encourages them to seek what God desires. they can’t accomplish this on their own; they must depend on God! their downward spiral started shortly before Solomon’s death. two hundred years later, the prophet is telling them to worship God from their hearts,

Party guests, including Isabel, were Camryn Brown, Nolan Saunders, Asinling Riley, Ayanna Monet, Brenda Sandoval. They came through in a big way for the community’s seniors.

not the empty rituals. God is omniscient, so there is nothing missed, including people’s true hearts. Israel views the “Day of the Lord” as a time they will be vindicated from their enemies.

offerings, as empty ritual. Verse 24 is familiar to many of us in Dr. Martin Luther King’s speech in Washington, D.C. in 1963. [Verse 24: But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.] What does it mean? “There are three permanent bodies of water in this region. They are the Sea of Galilee, the Jordan River, and the Dead Sea. After a heavy rain, wadis appear for a short time. God wants Israel to flow continually with justice for all and righteousness toward God” (David C. Cook’s echoes Adult Teacher Commentary). They can’t be with God and trample on others.

Local McDonald’s owners, McDonald’s student-employees and their families and friends gathered on June 3 at the Ronald McDonald House of Winston-Salem to honor 12 Triad-area students as they each received either a $5000 or $1000 Ray Kroc Scholarship. The students, who each work at a Triad McDonald’s restaurant, were chosen based on their academic records, community involvement and an essay describing what they’ve learned from their McDonald’s work experience. The scholarship money comes at a perfect time for the student-employees who will use the money to fund their first year of college, complete their final year, and for some winners, pay for their entire local community college tuition. "McDonald’s employs truly remarkable students who are holding down jobs, working hard in school and have dreams of becoming physicians, business owners, teachers and more. We are happy to be a part of their journey and help them realize their potential," said Triad McDonald's Owner/Operator Johnny Tart. Triad McDonald’s owners award $1000 scholarships to student-employees every year, and decided to increase the scholarship amount this year for some winners to make an even greater impact. The winner in Forsyth County were: Jewel Crews at the University Parkway restaurant in Winston-Salem and has been there for two years while attending North Forsyth High School. She says of her experience at McDonald’s, she’s learned time management and how to work under pressure while keeping her cool, which she’ll need for her next challenge as she attends the University of North Carolina at Greensboro in the fall. Brandon Joyce at the Reidsville Road restaurant in Walkertown and currently maintains a 4.0 as a double major at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Brandon credits his success at school to his experience at McDonald’s, including learning time management, leadership and people skills. While he excels at school, his dedication to McDonald’s has earned him the crew trainer position and the chance to undergo management development programs. Ariel Mayes at the Bethania Drive restaurant in Rural Hall for nearly four years and currently attends the University of North Carolina at Greensboro as an Information Systems/ Supply Chain Management major. Her education has most definitely taught her the flow of goods and services, but she says at McDonald’s it’s also about making sure every customer leaves with a smile on their face.

Life’s Application: You can fool us but not God! How can we be for God while mistreating other people? How can we love God and then exploit and oppress people that are different from us? All of us are God’s creation! No matter how hard we try, God knows our hearts! Yes the Ten Commandments were once in most courthouses but was justice being served? Do we really care about each other? We can wrap ourselves in all the trappings of holiness but He knows. As we study this quarter, let’s take a closer look at self to determine our own guilt. God continues to bring judgment where evil, oppression and exploitation exist.

2015 Winston-Salem Foundation Award: Woody Clinard

2015 ECHO Awards: Books for Dudes, Jake Denton, Terry Hicks, WinstonNet

The keynote speaker was John McKnight, codirector of the Asset-Based Community Development Institute and professor emeritus of Education and Social Policy at the Northwestern University Institute for Public Policy Research in Evanston, Illinois. His remarks focused on how the Winston-Salem community can make its neighborhoods stronger through asset-based, as opposed to deficit-based, approaches, and he stressed the importance of returning to a village-based approach as we seek to positively impact the crucial development of our youth.

The Winston-Salem Foundation Award This award was established in 1996 and is given to individuals who demonstrate the Foundation’s values of generosity, excellence, inclusion, and integrity along with visionary leadership in a community activity or on behalf of a community organization, particularly in the recent past. Woody Clinard “is a tremendous example of a person who finds seeds of opportunity in our community and who works collaboratively with others to feed and nurture them,” the Foundation says. “He is often found in our community tutoring children, getting projects started, attending teacher workshops, supporting fundraisers, and mentoring youth and adults alike. “A native of WinstonSalem, Woody has nurtured many community organizations and efforts over the years, including El Buen Pastor and the Hispanic League. His generosity is a sign of his desire to create positive change in the world, a value he shared with his wife, Helen, who passed away in 2013. Those close to Woody will tell you that in his very large heart there lies a special place for public education and for Hispanic youth and their families.” Clinard is credited for helping to energize and revitalize Old Town Elementary School in part to his passionate interest and leadership. Not only did Woody’s financial support fund among other things, materials, and a visit by education expert Eric Jensen, teacher trainings by a Jensen colleague, leadership training for teachers, and three iPads for each classroom, but also created the “Change the World” movement at the school. Principal Rusty Hall, who nominated Clinard, sums up Clinard’s nomination best by saying, “I have found a champion for education, and an agent for change – for real change. I have found a new role model to emulate in all that I do.” With this very welldeserved recognition comes a $10,000 Foundation grant, which Clinard has designated to 10 organizations: Bread for the World,

ECHO award winner Terry Hicks

El Buen Pastor Latino Community Services, CHANGE, Children of Vietnam, Forsyth Education Partnership, The Hispanic League, Interfaith WinstonSalem, Planned Parenthood of the Triad, the Augustine Project at Read WS, and the World Relief for AntiHuman Trafficking program.

2015 ECHO Awards The Foundation and ECHO Network jointly presented the 2015 ECHO Awards to four recipients who are creatively building social capital. Each recipient is uniquely connecting people and building trust among people in order to make our community stronger and each will receive $1,000 to grant to a nonprofit organization of their choice. • Books For Dudes is Forsyth County Public Library’s book club for men. Members are encouraged to share their own literary finds, thoughts on current events and personal stories. They range from recent high school graduates to retirees and from the unemployed to businessmen – resulting in close, trusting relationships and bridging social capital among this diverse group of community members. • Jake Denton is “a oneperson social capital machine,” who lives out his values and builds trust among many. Jake’s involvement with Habitat for Humanity of Forsyth County has ranged from being a volunteer/neighborhood organizer to currently serving as an AmeriCorps National Service member. He has built trusting relationships with his neighbors and with Habitat homeowners and volunteers from diverse race, age, class and social circumstance. Denton demonstrates an innate ability to connect with others in an open and genuine way that has erased stereotypes while creating greater understanding in our community. • Terry Hicks is a choral music teacher by trade, but his social capital-building impact ripples through generations. For over 25 years he has encouraged students at R.J. Reynolds High School to create lasting bonds across race, class, neighborhood, religion, stereotypes and even high school cliques, in the pursuit of making beautiful music together. Hicks’ community outreach extends beyond the classroom walls through community performances. His nomination was echoed by dozens of former students, parents, teacher colleagues, and community members whose lives he has touched and whose minds he has opened. • WinstonNet provides invaluable local leadership on a broad range of issues related to technology in our community, including its work to close the “digitaldivide” by ensuring that all Forsyth County residents have affordable and convenient Internet access and training opportunities in free computer labs. It has also created strong connections

between local universities, community colleges, the school system, governmental agencies, and nonprofits. WinstonNet is building social capital by bridging the technology gap, and by offering positive and lifechanging interactions among individuals that are unlikely to exist without the labs and online access.

About The WinstonSalem Foundation The Winston-Salem Foundation is a community foundation that supports charitable programs in the greater Forsyth County area. Founded in 1919 with a $1,000 gift, it now administers about 1,300 funds and had total custodial assets of $384.3 million at the end of 2014. In 2014, the Foundation granted $24.8 million to charitable causes, over $2 million of which was through the Community Grants program. Learn more at www.wsfoundation.org.

Ten $500 awards given

SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

The Arts Council announced its second round of grants made through its Community Enrichment Mini-Grant initiative. These awards provide community groups and individuals with grants up to $500 to infuse the arts into all segments of our community. The benefit of the grants promotes creativity, while providing greater access to the arts that brings people together. “This was our second call for applications for the Mini-Grant Initiative,” said Dara Silver, Director of Member Services and Grant Programs, “and we were delighted with the community’s response. Clearly the word has spread. “ The Arts Council was looking for creative projects and initiatives with grassroots in nature that reaches nontraditional areas of the community. These grants are made outside the regular annual grant cycle. “Sometimes needs and opportunities arise on short notice, and the annual grant process just doesn’t accommodate them,” Silver said. The Arts Council received 32 requests and awarded 10 grants of $500 each. Groups and individuals receiving grants are as follows: • ABC of NC Child Development Center will partner with Peppercorn Theatre at The Children’s Museum of Winston-Salem to have a teaching-artist program. The program will consist of one week in which tickets will be provided to financially needy families to attend an “autism friendly” performance of “Take One Step” in July. Light and sound modifications will be made to the quiet activity areas in the lobby that will contain staffed autism specialists. • During the fall, the WinstonSalem/Forsyth County School System’s Career Center Radio Broadcasting Program will make audio recordings of 50 popular children’s books. The recordings will be distributed to public elementary school media centers to improve children’s literacy skills. Impacting more than 25,000 students throughout Forsyth County, approximately 35 of the books will be recorded in English and 15 will be recorded in Spanish. • Insight Human Services will increase its art offerings in their summer camp, Camp HOPE, which serves underresourced youth. The camp plans to focus on character development, nurturing relationships, and leadership skills. Camp HOPE plans to enrich their Superhero theme by having students create costumes that share their superhero traits that make them unique and powerful.

• Pamela Roberson will host two performances in September 2015 of “Angels Without Wings,” a play about addiction. The play personifies addiction and the 12 steps to recovery to change how a community views addiction. • The East/Northeast Winston Neighborhood Association will create a community mural in East Winston at 1901 E. 14th St. The neighborhood association hopes that beautification through art will attract positive investments in the East/Northeast Winston community. • A grant will help the Mo Lucas Community Foundation host its annual Father’s Day Parade and Cookout on Sunday, June 21 at Rupert Bell Park. This event will include food, a parade down Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd, and consist of live entertainment at the Rupert Bell Recreation Center. • In the fall, music educator, Noriko Nagasawa will offer group music classes for children involved with the Head-Start Program at Family Services. Diverse music activities involving movement, singing, playing, and story-telling will teach fundamental social skills in a positive and creative environment. • The Old Salem Chapter of the Antique Auto Club of America will host “The Art of the Automobile Cruise-In” in downtown Kernersville in August 2015. The event will provide an opportunity to celebrate the preservation of antique automobiles and artistic influences in their original styles. The Kernersville Little Theatre volunteers will stroll among event-goers modeling classic fashion throughout the decades. S2dio Supplies will provide an activity illustrating the stylistic connections between cars, fashion, and architecture. • Que Pasa Media will host its annual “Por Una Vida Mejor” (For a Better Life) Festival on Sunday, Aug. 16 in the Southeast Plaza on Waughtown Street. This event focuses on physical fitness, nutrition, and information about living a healthy lifestyle that will include traditional folk dancing and musical performers. • Triad Cultural Arts will host its annual Juneteenth Festival on Saturday, June 20 at Fifth Street and MLK, Jr. Drive in East Winston. Celebrating African American culture, this event provides a venue for artists to exhibit their crafts and provides a performance space for local musicians and dancers. Funding for this initiative came from The Arts Council’s Innovative Project Grant Program. A third round of grant applications will be announced in the fall.
