DD Adams vs Virginia Foxx N.C. PRIMARY

BY TODD LUCK THE CHRONICLE

Denise “DD” Adams will take on U.S. Rep. Virginia Foxx in November.

After more than a year of campaigning, Adams won her primary against fellow Democrat Jenny Marshall.

Adams, a city council member who represents Winston-Salem’s North Ward, got about 54 percent of the vote and Marshall, a school teacher and first-time politician, got about 45 percent of the vote, according to unofficial results. Just over 14 percent of registered voters cast their ballots in all races statewide.

The 5th District contains parts of 11 counties, including all of Forsyth.

2018 CAMPAIGN

Adams won Forsyth County, while Marshall led in the other parts of the district.

The district is heavily Republican, which has led to decisive General Election victories in the past for Foxx, who is in her sixth term.

Foxx won her primary against challengers Dillon Gentry and Cortland J. Meader Jr. with 80 percent of the vote. As of April 18, Foxx’s campaign had nearly $3 million on hand compared to Adams’ campaign, which had $4,579.93 on hand and had raised $131,074.93 overall.

In the battle for the two seats up for grabs in District A on the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners, incumbent Fleming El-Amin and Tonya McDaniel came away with the victories over Tony Burton and incumbent Everette Witherspoon.

McDaniel, a city native and graduate of WinstonSalem State University, was the top vote getter in the closely contested race.

The director of human resources at United Health CAMPAIGN Centers, McDaniel is also the second vice president of the Winston-Salem NAACP chapter.

Although she is considered a newcomer to the political stage, in 2012 McDaniel served as Earline Parmon’s campaign manager and credits Parmon for showing her the ropes. McDaniel said she decided to run because District A needed a “vision for constituency.”

She said while attending the Women’s March on the Polls earlier this year, she decided enough was enough and made the decision to run.

In a post on her official Facebook page where she is discussing her reasons for running McDaniel wrote, “It takes a lot of courage, strength, and tenacity to run in an all-minority male dominated race for Forsyth County

A night in Hidden Town

Students from Walkertown High School learn how to make potato fritters during a stay in Old Salem’s Hidden Town on Friday, May 4. Twenty-two students and 10 chaperones spent the night where enslaved and freed African-Moravian people lived in Salem.

last week, students from Walkertown high School ditched their smart phones, laptops, iPads, and other high tech devices, and spent a night in old Salem’s hidden Town, an initiative created to research and reveal the “hidden” community of enslaved and freed African-Moravian people of Salem. in a three-part series last summer, The Chronicle unveiled the findings of old Salem inc. centered on the hidden Town Project and the untold narratives of Africans in Salem. in the early stages of research, the committee found out that old Salem’s hidden Town Project might be one of the most important archeological sites of the urban enslaved in the country.

During their stay in hidden Town, through hands-on and immersive activities, the Walkertown students learned what life was like for the African people of Salem.

The day in hidden Town for the 22 students and 10 chaperones began at St. Phillips Moravian AfricanAmerican Church with a brief introduction.

After a tour of a few interesting spots along the way including the Doctor’s house, and Christian David’s house, it was time to prep for dinner. Students, parents and teachers harvested herbs and vegetables in the gardens while others made potato fritters inside.

After that, the group walked to the Tarvern for an outdoor fireside conversation led by Joseph McGill, founder of the Slave Dwelling Project, and representatives from old Salem inc. old Salem Museums and Garden’s hidden Town

"They are considered kind of like a lead teacher," continued Wilkins. "When we get to a place where there are questions about results and accountability they’re held accountable for the results in that classroom even though they're not always delivering the day-to-day instruction."

The second new role, expanded impact Teachers (eTC), will take on responsibilities with more students with help from the third new role known as reach Associates. Similar to a teacher’s assistant, the eTC will also serve as a coach or mentor for the reach Associate.

The Cook Family will also look to add two additional positions for specialization teachers in reading and science.

While discussing the new initiative and teacher leadership roles, Dr. Wilkins said she wants the community to know that this is not another restart model. She said, "The increased roles are related to increase in responsibility, accountability, and expectations."

When asked why she thinks the new initiative will work at Cook, Wilkins said she has always been a believer in strong teachers and their ability to turn a school around. She said her goal is to create an environment that supports teacher and students success, and creates a continuum of teacher leaders.

She said," if teachers don't get the proper training, coaching, and feedback they need this cannot work. "one of the things that will be a huge part of this model is coaching and feedback. not only for the teachers on a day-today basis in the classroom but for the additional teacher leaders." "i can't coach everybody in my building but vicariously through coaching other people i can."

Building on progress at Cook

looking to build on the progress made in year one under a new instructional model, Cook literacy Model School is adopting a new initiative that will extend teachers' reach on more classrooms.

According to principal and executive director Dr. Paula Wilkins, the initiative coined reach to excellence, is a rebranding of what it means to be a teacher leader at Cook.

The initiative will consist of four new roles and nine positions with various responsibilities and expectations for each. For example, Multi-Classroom Teachers (MCl), one of the four new roles, will be responsible for coaching teachers, writing lesson plans and working with students in multiple classrooms. MCl's will also be held accountable for student outcomes.

Wilkins said MCl's will serve as an intermediary between the teacher and the principal.

County asks lawmaker for airport de-annexation

BY TODD LUCK THE CHRONICLE

County commissioners asked State Rep. Debra Conrad for the Smith Reynolds Airport to be deannexed from WinstonSalem.

The county made the request during a meeting it regularly holds with its legislative delegation before each session. All the state lawmakers that represent the county were invited to the May 3 meeting, but only Conrad came to the meeting, which was attended by all the commissioners except Everette Witherspoon.

Last year, Conrad successfully was able to get a law passed, suggested by Commissioner Ted Kaplan, to exempt airport runways and taxiways from stormwater fees.

Stormwater fees had been a source of tension between Forsyth County and Winston-Salem, with the county considering deannexing the airport, which it owns, to avoid city fees and taxes. A deal was struck to avoid that, with the city and county each giving the airport $150,000 a year for capital improvements.

However, after the law passed, the city reduced its contribution by $50,000, which is roughly how much the airport saved on stormwater fees from the new law.

The county and Airport Commission rejected this change, so the deal is now off and de-annexation, which requires action by the General Assembly, is back on the table. Conrad said she was disappointed

in the city’s reaction and considered the law a way to enhance the deal the city and county had. Kaplan, who’s asked for de-annexation in the past, felt Conrad could get it passed despite the city’s opposition to it.

“We had the same problem with stormwater and you bravely took that one through,” said Kaplan.

“Yeah, but this is a bigger storm,” replied Conrad.

She said she didn’t think she could do deannexation in the six-week short session, because any member of the local delegation could block the bill from being heard.

“I have to have everybody,” said Conrad.

However, this rule doesn’t apply in a long session and Conrad she would give de-annexation another try.

The airport would save money, and the city would lose money, if de-annexation happened. Even with the new stormwater exemptions, the airport pays $73,642.38 annually in stormwater fees, according to the city. The city estimates that the taxes on property leases and airplanes at Smith Reynolds equals $310,000 annually.

Kaplan also suggested a law that would take all county-owned airports out of cities, which Conrad felt was a reasonable idea that she’s been trying to get into legislation. She said other urban airports have similar complaints about city taxes and fees.

The county also asked for all government entities to be exempt from stormwater fees. The fees

Emergency Services looking to help with opioid withdraw

BY TODD LUCK THE CHRONICLE

Forsyth County Emergency Services Department is applying for a grant for an innovative, new drug-assisted treatment program for battling opioid addiction.

Emergency Medical Services (EMS) is on the frontline of the current drug epidemic because of how easy it is to accidentally overdose on opioids.

EMS providers constantly respond to overdose calls and administer the drug Narcan to reverse the overdoses. This leaves the user in a withdraw that EMS providers and hospitals can’t treat.

EMS Quality Control Coordinator Tara Tucker said in a county briefing last week on May 3 that the Emergency Services Department, through its Mobile Integrated Health (MIH) Program is applying for a $137,000 grant to purchase a year’s supply of the opioid withdraw drug Buprenorphine, which would be first administered to patients on the scene, and hire a licensed clinical social worker/case manager to link the patients to a MedicationAssisted-Treatment provider so they can continue to receive the drug.

“That has been the most effective treatment for this opioid use that’s the most underutilized,” said Tucker. “No EMS agency has done this that we have been able to find in the county.”

Buprenorphine was approved for clinical use in 2002 by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is used in combination with counseling and behavioral therapies to treat opioid addiction. It’s the first medication to treat opioid dependency that can be given outside of a highly structured clinic and can be prescribed or dispensed in a physician’s office, making it more accessible. It also has a lower risk for misuse, dependency and side effects than methadone, a commonly used opioid withdraw drug.

They’re also applying for a $120,000 grant for continued reimbursement for ambulance trips in the hospital diversion program. The program trains paramedics to spot signs of mental illness and has them take those patients to crisis facilities instead of emergency wards. This resulted in a 58 percent diversion rate from emergency rooms for the 290 calls MIH responded to from July 2017 to March 2018. The MIH unit responds to 911 “superusers” like those with mental illness and addiction through assessment, education and connecting them with resources.

Both proposals are being submitted for grant funds from Cardinal Innovations Healthcare's Community Reinvestment funds.

are charged on impervious surfaces like parking lots and roofs, which includes federal, state and county properties.

The local school system pays about $250,000 annually in stormwater fees. Larger cities like Winston-Salem use the fees to fund federally mandated stormwater management programs, which prevents pollution from stormwater runoff.

Conrad also agreed with that idea, but said it would take a lot of stakeholder meetings and

groundwork before legislation like that was unveiled.

Commissioner Don Martin said he knew there would be a big pushback from cities.

“The airport thing was small money, now we’re talking big money,” said Martin.

One county proposal that Conrad felt wouldn’t be controversial and could be passed in the short session is a local act to restructure the airport that dissolves the airport commission and makes the

county the sole owner of all land there. The Forsyth County Airport Commission was established in 1949 when counties lacked the ability to form local authorities and joint commissions. The proposed act will let the county create a new airport authority that will be similar in function to the current commission and will most likely have the same members.

It also allows the airport to simplify land ownership putting it clearly

under the county. Some property purchased for the airport is titled to the commission, while the rest is titled to the county. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) wants a single owner to apply for its grants.

Also during the meeting, the county asked for an act to allow pari mutuel betting in Forsyth County for proposed horse racing at Tanglewood Park.

Multicultural Fair takes people around the world Tables displaying clothing, artifacts, food and flags from countries across the globe were featured at the Multicultural Fair.

BY TEVIN STINSON THE CHRONICLE

On Thursday, April 26 Diggs-Latham Elementary School held its annual Multicultural Fair, which is one of the school’s largest parental involvement events. More than a dozen tables displaying clothing, artifacts, food, and flags from countries across the globe were featured.

Throughout the evening of the

Multicultural Fair, students traveled around to the different countries and received stamps on their passports after learning a new fact and completing an activity. Students, parents, and other guest also danced, drew henna tattoos and played games reflective of the countries represented at the event.

The fair was organized by 2016-2017 Teacher of the Year Abadesa Ochoa,

pre-K teacher Lisa O’Brien and a small committee of teachers. During the fair, several teachers and administrators thanked the committee for their hard work and dedication to make the fair a success.

Diggs-Latham principal, Ted Burcaw, said the fair was an opportunity for the Diggs-Latham family to celebrate as one. He said, “A truly joyful, inspiring celebration of the Digg-Latham community at tonight’s Multicultural Fair.

“Ms. Ochoa brought out the true heart of our

family. We celebrated as one.”

The festivities ended with the breaking of a piñata and a Dance of Flags as several teachers presented the colors of the countries and danced with props. The success of the Multicultural Fair spread to social media following the event. David Sick, district Title III program director, and Rebecca Olsen, SIOP coach, both

gave high praise of the event on Twitter.

Sick said, “Awesome multicultural fair at DLES. Big Turnout. Great Food.

Great Vibe.”

Olsen was a fan of the food as well. She was also excited to see so many parents joining in the fun and learning. She said, “The Multicultural Fair had great parent participation and the food was delicious.”

City approves Budget Inn rezoning, delays Ardmore townhouses T H E C H R ON I C LE

BY TODD LUCK THE CHRONICLE

The transformation of the Budget Inn on Peters Creek Parkway into workforce housing got one step closer while another rezoning request divided both the Ardmore Neighborhood and the City Council on Monday.

During the WinstonSalem City Council’s Monday zoning meeting on May 7, rezoning was approved for the Budget Inn property at the intersection of West Academy Street and Peters Creek Parkway. The motel has had issues with crime and urban blight for years.

The Peters Creek Community Initiative, which is a subsidiary of the Shalom Project at Green Street Church, wants to turn the nearly four-acre property into a four-story, 60-unit apartment building.

However, Besse said that most phone calls he’d received and most people who spoke at earlier meetings were opposed to the project. He said one resident and a neighborhood group told him that they’d been incorrectly identified as supporting it. Besse planned to vote against the zoning proposal.

But then City Council Member Derwin Montgomery, Robert Clark, Jeff MacIntosh and Denise “DD” Adams all said if the majority of neighbors support it, then that’s the way the council should vote.

“They took the time out of their lives to come and exercise their right and what they want,” said Adams.

MacIntosh said as a Realtor he’d represented dozens of buyers and sellers in Ardmore and didn’t think this project would negatively affect property values there. Clark said it is a unique situation, and that the council has always been sensitive to Ardmore and wouldn’t allow more businesses in that neighborhood.

Marshall said she was proud of the campaign she ran, which was competitive in fundraising with Adams, raising $127,076.48 as of April 18. She said her campaign shows that a progressive populist message can resonate in the rural part of the district. She said she would continue to fight for the issues it raised like economic equity and universal healthcare and that she’d consider running again if the opportunity presented itself.

“We had a tremendous amount of support for this campaign,” said Marshall.

“And it’s not just the campaign, it’s the message and the message doesn’t just go away because we lost an election.”

Marshall said she hopes that everyone will come together to beat Foxx in November.

“I am tired, jubilant and I see it as a huge victory for the people of Forsyth County and now it's on to the next step,” she said.

“Schatzman is a fourterm sheriff, so we are really going to have to play smart,” she said about their chances in the general election. “What we are going to do is run our campaign based on the issues and we have no intention on playing dirty politics.”

Fraser says she feels confident in Kimbrough because he is “qualified, energized and ready to lead.” She feels Schatzman has been a good sheriff but thinks Forsyth County is ready for a change and new leadership especially with the opioid epidemic engulfing the nation.

In 1960, four young men sat down in Woolworth’s, but if the girls of Bennett would have just stood and not fought back, it would have been just blowing in the wind,” Jackson said.

Jackson paused, tilted his glasses, looked directly at the Bennett College graduates and said, “Strong women keep on coming.”

The graduates and crowd roared for nearly 10 minutes! It was a powerful and much needed moment for young black women, because the mainstream media seems to ignore their voice and presence.

Rev. Jackson continued to inspire the Bennett Belles.

Rev. Jackson explained to the graduates that a degree is not enough. “You must think beyond the zone of ordinary.

The founder of The Rainbow Coalition shared with the crowd that Right Now, most black people make less than $50,000, and the rest of them are credit card slaves, spending more than they make.

He then had the graduates to repeat after him: “If I spend more than I make, that’s a recipe for suicide. I must do better.”

Once again the Bennett Belles and crowd gave Jackson a thunderous applause. He shared that Right Now, 4 million blacks in the South aren’t registered, and 2 million are registered but did not vote, “We must fight the

Right Now fight.” As Jackson closed, he reminded the audience that the fight for justice and equality is not over. “We fought and got our freedom, and we went from being an asset, to being a threat. So we must continue to fight the Right Now fight, and don’t give up,” Rev. Jackson said.

He looked around the room, and then at the graduates, and gave them a warm and comforting smile, and then softly said, “You’re a Bennett Belle, you’re a whole person, you’re special, and you’re strong women. If [Donald] Trump can become president, there’s nothing you can’t do.” The crowd gave Rev. Jackson a standing ovation.

After the ovation, Bennett’s president, Dr. Phyllis Worthy Dawkins;f N.C. Sen. Gladys Robinson (D-28th District); and Dr. Julianne Malveaux, 15th president of Bennett College and president of PUSH Excel, presented Jesse with an honorary Doctorate Degree. He joked, “I always wanted to be a Bennett Belle, and I am.”

Our Mission

The Chronicle is dedicated to serving the residents of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County by giving voice to the voiceless, speaking truth to power, standing for integrity and encouraging open communication and lively debate throughout the community.

The right to vote reflects freedom in U.S.

May 8, 2018, might seem like a non-historic day, but in this climate in America, it is. It was a day of voting in primaries, but some people in Forsyth County were elected to offices outright because there are no people running against them in the November General Election.

In North Carolina, there have been various obstacles put up in an attempt to curb the vote. U.S. citizens have the right to vote, plain and simple, but it appears that if you are lumped into a certain category – for instance, people of color – the obstacles are put out there.

But the courts have seen the light and understand the Constitution, so those obstacles have been put aside – for now.

Kayne West says he isn’t black: He’s Kayne, the man who is supporting President Donald Trump, but his skin color shows otherwise, and his right to vote was not a given before people died and protested to get it. Where would Kayne West be without the money he has, or better yet, without the opportunity to get the money he has? He would still be Kayne West, but his title could be slave, and not entertainment mogul.

So, May 8 was a day of democracy, of freedom.

Everyone who voted should be proud to have participated in the event, even if the people he or she voted for didn’t win. Those who didn’t vote might lament it because, more than likely, they are not Kayne West and they can’t say they helped defy the slave mentality.

How to get an investor to fund your idea Algenon Cash

People exercised their right to vote at Carver High School on Tuesday, May 8.

Starbucks Coffee Co.

The greatest quality of this country is our dedication to entrepreneurship, innovation and creativity.

In America we take amazing ideas and transform them into profitable enterprises. However, the path to moving an idea from your mind into reality can be a struggle.

The primary barrier that prevents entrepreneurs from realizing success is the often elusive capital required to mobilize ideas into a real company that provides a much needed service or product. But the U.S. start-up economy is booming.

Investment firms deployed a record $82.87 billion in 2017 and this year is on a more rapid pace. Nevertheless it can literally take years of coaching, networking, and discovery before an entrepreneur receives the cash needed.

I’ve worked alongside investors from all over the country and there is a common thread when you’re trying to raise capital to achieve your vision. Here is some advice to consider when pitching to an

investor:

1. Don’t be overly confident: Believing in your idea and arrogance are two entirely two different things. You need to be an expert on your industry and certainly on the company that you hope to launch, but always leave room for constructive feedback and mentoring.

Most investors prefer to invest in ideas that are not fully formed, so they have the opportunity to make tweaks and suggestions. If you pitch an investor and leave no room for adjustments, they may assume you don’t really need them. Investors are not simply a source of cash, but they can also provide additional expertise because often they have operated successful businesses in the past.

2. Research your audience: I receive emails and phone calls regularly from entrepreneurs pitching me on a wide range of ideas, but most rarely align with our firm’s strategic focus.

It’s important that you deeply understand your audience and ensure your business fits with the investor’s criteria. Always make the assumption your target audience is smart and they have a broad array of expertise that will enable them to comprehend the pitch.

3. Never act like you don’t have competition: Often times an entrepreneur will present a new business idea and when I ask who else in the market is doing the same, they quickly respond, “we don’t have any competition.”

The response immediately raises a red flag and demonstrates a lack of market research and overall knowledge. There will always be someone out there doing what you want to do – or – at the very least, they may be conducting the same research and development that you may be doing. Don’t fail to plan, do your homework.

4. Find a coach: The best decision I ever made in my professional career was choosing to surround myself with various mentors in a position to help me gain skills in areas that were largely unfamiliar to me. Although I recommend entrepreneurs be coachable, but also maintain a strict commitment to the vision. There will be times when even an experienced coach may not fully grasp your idea, but that does not mean it’s not a good idea.

5. Money is important, but choose your investors wisely: It’s difficult not to concentrate on money when you need it most, but keep in mind that business arrangements just like mar-

riage can be a challenge to dissolve. Every investor that can give you cash may not have your long-term best interest in mind, so you must carefully get to know your investors and be clear on what all they bring to the table besides the cash infusion. Often times you may have a 5, 7, or 10-year relationship with an investor, so both parties need to be transparent and comfortable.

Don’t forget to establish who’s the boss.

Building a prosperous company may be the most significant achievement of your life, but it will also definitely be the most challenging. Financing, marketing, business development, legal, and labor issues are just a few of the hurdles that you must overcome. Once you have a well thought out plan, capital, and the right support network, then you will grow your new enterprise by leaps and bounds.

Contact me directly with any questions, comments, and ideas. Good luck!

Students of color need to see more people of color

Nate Bowling

Guest Columnist

I spent most of my first year of grad school sitting in the back row of class with my hood up. There were nearly 40 of us in the cohort. Two were Black.

My hoodie was an act of silent dissent. Today, I completely understand when my students want to do the same, even with me in front of the room.

Academia and public schools are spaces where people of color often feel underrepresented, unwelcome and unheard.

From third grade through high school, I was a student in a series of neighborhood public schools. Afterward, I went to community college and then on to a public liberal arts college, where I earned my bachelor's and eventually my master's degree. Each phase in my educational journey shared two characteristics: 1. The further I progressed, the fewer Black and Brown classmates I had.

2. As I progressed, regardless of the demographics of the student population, the faculty and administrators were uniformly nearly all White.

That needs to change.

An organization I am part of, the National Network of State Teachers of the Year, recently released videos designed to provoke conversations that will lead to this kind of change.

“Called Courageous Conversations About Race in Schools,” the videos provide an effective starting point for real discussions that should be happening in schools-particularly in colleges and universitiesacross this country.

Research tells us that upwards of 80 percent of U.S. teachers are White.

Different research tells us that nearly 80 percent of teachers are female.

Obviously, those Venn diagrams overlap in a largely White and female workforce.

At the same time, because of higher birth rates among immigrant populations and the "mysterious phenomenon" of disproportionately high numbers of White children in private schools, the majority of the population of students in public

school are students of color, and those numbers are headed even higher, based on enrollment numbers in lower grades.

Schools systems need to do a better job of attracting and retaining effective teachers of color. Students of color need to see more people of color in positions of expertise and authority, and teachers need to be conversant and literate in the cultural traditions that are present in their classrooms. None of these statements should be controver-

sial.

The lack of representation is an equity issue, and to resolve it we can look to lessons elsewhere in our society.

During the Vietnam War, the Pentagon realized that majority Brown platoons of soldiers and Marines wouldn't take life-or-death orders from a uniformly White officer corps. The Pentagon thus underwent an intentional effort to diversify the officer corps. Since then, the Pentagon has submitted amicus curiae briefs in

every major affirmative action case before the U.S. Supreme Court because they understand that representation matters.

Time for a representation disruption

The word "disruption" gets hurled around frequently in business and increasingly in education.

Usually, it's about handing Silicon Valley tech bros a metric-ton of venture capital to sprinkle the #EdTech fairy dust of the moment.

But I'm going to argue that when it comes to teacher diversity and representation in schools, we actually need disruption.

In my neck of the woods the numbers are especially grim: There are only about 800 Black teachers in all of Washington State. In my 12-year teaching career, I have never worked with another Black male general education teacher.

There's no reason for me to be alone. We see talented students of color all over higher education because universities know how to recruit them. As Jeff Duncan-Andrade says, "Look at any college football or basketball team and tell me colleges don't know how to recruit Black talent.

When I was a kid I thought Georgetown was an HBCU." But it can't just be student athletes. We need to bring in students who can increase teacher diversity.

It's imperative-and it's well within our power.

Facebook continues to fail the Black community

“Mr. Zuckerberg, would you be comfortable sharing with us the name of the hotel you stayed in last night?” That was a question Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) Guest posed to Facebook founder Columnist and CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s congressional hearing in which the latter responded with an awkward “no.” It is likely that Mr. Zuckerberg found this question too intrusive, yet when 87 million users lost their privacy under Facebook’s neglectful watch; its CEO doesn’t bat an eye, offering only an insubstantial, “I’m sorry.”

The Cambridge Analytica hack is just one of many transgressions by Facebook, in which an apology will simply not suffice. Facebook’s laissez-faire attitude toward privacy protection is not just a betrayal and insult to its user base, but it is compounded by its lack of vigilance to protect one of the platform’s most vulnerable user demographics –African-Americans.

For example, late last year, Facebook hosted Russian sponsored ads that portrayed African-Americans in a less than flattering light. The ads had political motives and aimed to sway viewers to vote for then-presidential candidate Donald Trump. Another example arose just this month when the news broke that the largest Black Lives Matter group on the social media platform was in fact a fraudulent page, created by a White man in Australia designed to discredit the youth-based civil rights group.

Either of the above examples is enough to seriously question the general disposition and integrity of the social media juggernaut. However, Facebook’s lack of transparency, reliability, and accountability in these two situations also substantiates the increasing doubt regarding the fairness of the 2016 presidential election. Specifically, Cambridge Analytica worked with the Trump campaign, and among the data it misused were pictures, profiles, and

Derrick Johnson

even direct messages between users. This data mining – which used the personal information of 87 million people without their consent – was used to develop techniques for the firm’s work on the Trump campaign. This combined with the racially charged Russian ads, some of which explicitly purporting that Black Lives Matter activists were murderers, is not only wholly unscrupulous, it also carries the stench of voter manipulation.

Swaying voters toward one candidate based on racially exploitative lies smacks of a type voter suppression that, while more insidious, is not unlike the voter ID laws that currently attempt to suppress the Black vote.

As a pioneer in the tech industry serving 1.4 billion users each day, Facebook has a moral and ethical obligation to protect those most vulnerable on its sites, including minors, women, and LGBT, Brown, and Black communities. As a whole, Americans are more tolerant of hate speech than others in the world; however, this does not and should not permit Facebook to turn a blind eye to the

NFL draft choices take the money and leave college degrees behind James B. Ewers Jr.

Guest Columnist

NFL draft choices take the money and leave college degrees behind The National Football League’s annual draft was held a few weeks ago at AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys. If you are doubting the power and influence of Jerry Jones, owner of the Cowboys, you should stop right now.

The Cowboys are the most

valuable sports franchise in the world. They are worth a whopping $4.8 billion dollars. How about them Cowboys!

I would venture to say that Jerry Jones is one of the most influential owners in the league. Some would say that Robert Kraft, owner of the of the New England Patriots, ranks up there as well. It is interesting what makes owners powerful in the eyes of their peers. The Dallas Cowboys haven’t been a legitimate playoff team in many years and haven’t won a Super Bowl since 1996. On the other hand, the New England Patriots are contenders each year to

go all the way. It is not the championships that matter, it’s the money that matters more, and Jerry Jones has a lot of it.

The top college players assembled recently to hear their names called and to become instant millionaires. They didn’t have to spend a dollar on the lottery or the mega ball. The first name called in this year’s draft was Baker Mayfield. He played quarterback for the Oklahoma Sooners and he had a good year. The Cleveland Browns chose him to be their quarterback of the future or their quarterback for the season opener. We will have to wait and see.

Remember, the Browns chose Johnny Manziel just a few years ago to be their quarterback. It is obvious that the Browns don’t have a good track record with quarterbacks.

The last player selected in the draft was Trey Quinn, a wide receiver from Southern Methodist University (SMU). He originally signed with LSU out of high school and transferred to SMU after the 2015 season. Quinn was the 256th pick and was chosen by the Washington Redskins.

There were a lot of players chosen between Mayfield and Quinn. For perspective, there were only 90 players reviewed in the first draft held in 1936 at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Philadelphia.

Many of the players chosen in this year’s draft

copious amounts of hate speech the Black community, and other vulnerable communities experience on Facebook. These communities cannot be satiated with an apology, but rather require a clear and thorough plan of defensive and offensive action. More care needs to be taken by Facebook and its tech industry peers to ensure that in connecting people with one another, these connections are positive – a sentiment which Mr. Zuckerberg said his company strives to achieve.

Moving forward, companies like Facebook can take a greater stance against those who wish to use online spaces to corrupt. First, they must be on the offense, not just deleting but reporting and perhaps even fining advertisers with such ill intent. Second, they should also be more aggressive on the defensive front, removing the burden of reporting hate speech from the user and instead placing it on themselves. While Facebook has already started this approach, devoting more resources to this effort would allow for a quicker and more intelligent sweep of bad content. Additionally, these resources must include hiring more people of color across all levels of the company—an initiative that would address Silicon Valley's failure to take real steps towards embracing diversity. This is an issue brought up on Day 2 of Zuckerberg's hearing, when Rep. G.K. Butterfield mentioned that the company's Black representation has only risen from 2 percent to 3 percent. Furthermore, while 67 percent of African Americans are Facebook users, the company's C-suite remains entirely White.

Lastly, in a “clear and concise” manner, users should be made aware of their privacy terms, including instances when their information will be shared and how the information will be used. Facebook may or may not feel a moral imperative to protect the users that allow it to exist, but that does not mean it should not be held accountable for its actions, inactions, and indifference to user privacy.

were not scheduled to graduate this month. Some draft choices leave before their senior year.

There is a lot of risk in this draft business for student-athletes. First, if they are drafted lower than projected, they wind up losing some bonus money.

Second, if they aren’t drafted, they will have to sign free agent contracts.

Lastly, if you are in either of these two categories, you could get cut and your once promising NFL career could be sidelined before it gets started. Dr. Richard Lapchick is the director of The Institute for Diversity and Ethics at the University of Central Florida. His reports suggest that young men of color especially in football and basketball are behind in attaining their college degrees.

I am all for young men pursuing their childhood dream of playing in the NFL and the NBA. The problem is if they don’t make it what will they do?

Graduating from college will not necessarily make you successful. However, it does provide them with a soft cushion if they don’t make it to the professional ranks. It has been said many times that the NFL stands for “not for long.”

W-S Youth Chorus moves to the Opera House T H E C H R ON I C LE

SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

Piedmont Opera and the Winston-Salem Youth Chorus announced April 30 that the Youth Chorus will merge with the Piedmont Opera as of July 1, 2018.

Darren Chiott and Ashley Rusher, co-chairs of the Board of Directors for the Youth Chorus, said The Youth Chorus Board could not be more excited about the new opportunities this integration brings to its singers.

“Our organizations have been strategically aligned for many years due to the shared vision, mission and goals of the Piedmont Opera and the Youth Chorus. Taking this next step toward merger is the natural progression of

our ongoing collaboration,” said Chiott.

Rusher added, “Each of our organizations is recognized as a premier arts and cultural asset in the Winston-Salem community, and we have so much to offer each other. Our integration will ensure that our common mission continues to enhance the artistic and educational opportunities available in our community.”

“This coming together of two of Winston-Salem’s historic and innovative arts institutions offers a rare opportunity,” said James Allbritten, general director of Piedmont Opera. “Our organizations are excited to lead the way in preserving and celebrating our extraordinary histories while creating a future that will create even more

Dunning

exciting possibilities through shared resources.”

Together, Piedmont Opera and the WinstonSalem Youth Chorus share a 65-year legacy of enriching the community through music – 40 and 25 years respectively. The merging of the two historic organizations brings together two

institutions that have shared a common mission for over six decades. This shared mission will now become a common foundation to help both organizations reach an expanded audience while both continue to deliver excellence in their areas of expertise.

The merger will dissolve The Winston-Salem Youth Chorus’s 501-C status on June 30, bringing the chorus under the umbrella of Piedmont Opera and conferring onto the opera’s tax-exempt charitable status. The Youth Chorus programming, staff and daily operations will remain unchanged but will be relocated to the Opera House on 636 Holly Avenue.

Also regarding the Piedmont Opera, it will

hold its largest fundraiser, the 27th annual Magnolia Ball. This year the honorary chairwoman is Phyllis Dunning. Since Phyllis Dunning retired from teaching English literature and composition 25 years ago, she’s continued to share her passion for the arts and nurture that interest in others as she volunteers at myriad art events in Winston-Salem.

During her 33 years teaching high school in Forsyth County, Dunning says she would “strongly suggest and encourage students to attend concerts and operas and theater and art exhibits,” adding that occasionally she’d entice students with extra credit.

Many of her former students have gone on to have

successful careers in the arts, including Ben Folds, a 1984 Reynolds grad who’s now a multiplatinum singer, songwriter, and producer and Howell Binkley, the Tony-Awardwinning lighting genius behind the Broadway smash “Hamilton.”

If Phyllis Dunning made a difference in your life, the Piedmont Opera needs your help. Email Mappanaitis@piedmontopera.org for information on how to be a part of a video project in honor of Phyllis Dunning.

Wake Forest Baptist Health: Go MILES with Diabetes Research!

Wake Forest Baptist Health is looking for volunteers to help learn more about diabetes. The Microbiome and Insulin Longitudinal Evaluation Study, “MILES” for short, is a new observational study at the Medical Center. By examining the relationships between lifestyle factors including diet, and biological factors, including the micro organisms living in the body, the study may identify causes of type 2 diabetes.

Since MILES is an observational type of study, volunteers do not need to change their lifestyle or take medication to take part in the study.

Wake Forest is recruiting 500 volunteers between the ages of 45 and 75 who are essentially “healthy” (example: have not been diagnosed with diabetes, are not taking certain medications, not on dialysis and/or pregnant).

Screening is done by a quick and easy 10-minute phone call. Those eligible and willing to be in the study are to attend three visits over three years.

Compensation is provided to those who are eligible at the end of the visit.

MILES at Wake Forest is being led by Drs. Alain Bertoni and Elizabeth Jensen.

“Innovative gut microbiome research has the potential to change the way we approach health, disease prevention, detection and potential treatments,” said Alain Bertoni, MD, MPH, Chair of Epidemiology and Prevention and Director of Research for the Maya Angelou Center for Health Equity at Wake Forest School of Medicine. According to the most recent 2017 statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 12.7 percent of African American and 7.4 percent of white adults have been diagnosed with diabetes.

We are doing our best to find causes for diabetes but without volunteers from the community this problem is going to take a lot longer to fix.

Funding for this study is provided by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the NIDDK. To learn more about MILES call 336716-2914 or email the MILES study team at MILES@wakehealth.edu.

Will Russell Westbrook ever win a champonship?

For the second year in a row, Russell Westbrook averaged a triple double for the entire season, the first time that feat has been accomplished in the history of the NBA. For all of his gaudy stats, his Oklahoma City Thunder were bounced in the first round of the playoffs.

One has to think will he ever win a championship as a centerpiece of a team.

Even with being surrounded by two All-Star caliber players in Paul George and Carmelo Anthony, Westbrook went home in the first round.

The seven-time All-Star is widely regarded as one of the most athletic players in the league and gives 100 percent every possession.

I continue to question, myself, as to why Westbrook doesn't seem to be able to get over the hump and win a championship. I did not think he would get one this year but to be bounced in the first round was not what I had in mind for the Thunder. I figured with their talent, a trip to the conference finals was well within reach.

Granted Anthony seems to be a shell of his former self and George disappeared in the final two games of their opening round series against the Utah Jazz. At the beginning of the year, I never would have imagined the Jazz would be the team that defeats the Thunder in the playoffs.

After I sat down to think about his career, I have finally come to the conclusion that the problem with the Thunder may be Westbrook himself.

Throughout his career, I consistently have thought he shoots too much and maybe going full speed all the time is not the best way to play the game on the NBA level, and now my concerns have become a reality, in my opinion.

The way he plays the game reminds me a lot of how a young Michael Jordan or Allen Iverson played in their early years in the league. The thing is, Westbrook was drafted in 2008 and had the luxury of playing with one or two of the best players in the world, Kevin Durant and James Harden. For many of them, he did not adapt his game to maximize their potential.

Let's look back for a moment.

Westbrook played with Kevin Durant and James Harden from 2009-12 and while they did reach an NBA Final, they never won a championship. With that level of talent, it is clear to me that Westbrook is the common denominator as to why the team can't win the big one. He played with Durant until 2016 and they never seemed to be on the same page.

I am not calling Westbrook a bad player by any stretch of the imagination, but all you have to do is look at the evidence at hand and see the way he plays the game does not mesh well with other superstars. In this day and age, you need other superstars to win it all and I don't forsee any

Reynolds lacrosse star heads to VMI scholM AY 1 0 , 2 0 1 8

BY TIMOTHY RAMSEY THE CHRONICLE

The game of lacrosse has continued to grow in popularity over the last two decades. For Trejan Cannon, lacrosse is not just a sport; it's more of a passion. Recently he achieved one of his goals by signing his letter of intent to play lacrosse for Virginia Military Institute (VMI) on scholarship.

Coming into his senior year, Cannon had eight colleges interested in signing him to a scholarship. He narrowed his focus to six schools and applied to them all. He again trimmed his list down to four with VMI not being on the list initially.

The staff from VMI had been in touch with Cannon for a year heading into December of last year. Their persistence paid off as Cannon made a 180 and decided to commit to the school.

He says he was reluctant to entertain a military school initially, but he fell in love with the coaching staff, which totally changed his mind over time.

“I was excited, honestly, because that was my first DI [Division I] offer,” said Cannon. “I wasn't really ready for it and I actually didn't think I would go DI, but to get the See VMI on B2

The Atkins Camels men's track team was all business at the Western Piedmont 2A Conference Championships on Tuesday, May 1. They ran away with the meet, scoring 182 points, more than doubling second place finisher Forbush, who scored 87 points.

The Camels accomplished their victory by dominating the sprint events. They swept the podium in the 100 and 400 meter dashes. They also had multiple runners on the podium for the 200 and 800 meter races.

Atkins did not stop with the sprints. When it came to the relay events, they were top finishers there as well. The Camels finished first in the 4x100, 4x200, 4x400 and they 4x800 meter relays. With results like those, victory was a foregone conclusion.

The Camels were led by Jonathon Hagler, Cameron Attucks, Kaleb Ingram, Maiz Lawson and Shawn McKenzie along with a host of others.

College coaches to scout for girl players at tournament

Coming up on May 18 and 19, girl high school basketball players will get the chance to show what they have in front of college coaches at the 23rd annual Division II, Division III, NAIA and Junior College tournament and showcase held at the Gateway YWCA. The event will allow coaches to get a firsthand look at the talented girls as

they attempt to fill their rosters for the 2018-19 seasons and beyond. There will be a total of 32 teams competing from all across the Southeast.

“We are looking forward to a great tournament and we had to use Piedmont International University as a secondary site to accommodate all of the teams,” said event organizer Brian Robinson.

With May being really late in the recruiting season, Robinson says this

gives the unsigned seniors a chance to be seen. Last year they had 12 girls participate in the individual workouts and six were signed to play afterward.

His hopes are to exceed that number this year.

“They are just going to go out there and play and show what they can do in front of a college coach,” he continued.

offer really enlightened me.”

“Not only am I doing this for myself, I am doing this for my family, too,” he continued.

Cannon says he is unsure what to expect once he gets to campus because of the military component that the school offers. He says he knows it will be tough to juggle school, athletics and his military duties but is confident he will succeed.

Cannon's parents, Money and Terrence, stated Trejan made the decision to attend VMI all on his own. They say they are proud that he had the fortitude to make his first “adult decision” all by himself.

“I am proud of my son and he really deserves this because he is exceptional,” said Mr. Cannon.

Mrs. Cannon added, “I felt great about it but he did it all on his own. He sent me a text message that said he committed to VMI, so it was all on him and I was

very proud of him.”

Mrs. Cannon says when Trejan began his high school career, he spent a lot of time on the bench on the varsity team.

She felt he would be better suited playing on the JV (junior varsity) level to get more playing time. Trejan did not agree and felt he would learn more playing with the varsity team.

Coming into his junior year, he began to spread his wings to become a go-to player for the Demons. As a senior, he was a team leader while being a nightmare for opposing defenses.

“My game has continued to progress and at first I wasn't even thinking about playing DI. I was really planning on playing at the DIII level,” Trejan continued. “Over the years my game has gotten a lot better because I am more disciplined and more mentally strong.”

Cannon says he hopes to inspire other young African-American males to try out the sport of lacrosse. He says he was aware he would be a

According to Mr. and Mrs. Cannon, they have the highest expectations for Trejan on the field and

in the classroom. They anticipate his hardest adjustment will be the military aspect of the school.

Trejan was a multisport athlete in high school. Ms. Cannon says Trejan received a lot of negative comments from coaches in other sports, telling him “lacrosse

would never take him anywhere,” but instead of listening he used that energy to fuel him all the way to a scholarship on the Division I level.

and it came,” said Mr. Cannon. “God is always right on time and I am proud of my son. He is a kid that excels not only on the field but also in the classroom, so I know he will do well.”

53 points and the Walkertown Wolfpack finished in seventh place with 11 points.

On the women's side, the Lady Falcons of Forbush High School were crowned champions, scoring 166 points. The Lady Camels of Atkins finished in second place with 111 points. Walkertown finished in sixth place with 24 points and Carver finished in seventh place with 15 points.

Aniah McManus of Atkins did all she could to help the Camels keep up with the Falcons. She finished on the podium in the 100, 200 and 400 meter dashes, coming in second, third and first respectively.

The ladies of Walkertown and Carver did their best as well, finishing first and second in the 4x100 meter relay.

The Atkins Camels men's and women's teams has become a force in the Western Piedmont conference, led by head coach Rufus Crouch. Over the last several years they have been one of the top teams in the conference for both indoor and outdoor seasons.

I fully expect George and Anthony to opt out of their contracts and seek new destinations, leaving Westbrook all alone. On top of the established All-Stars he has played with, Westbrook played with Victor Oladipo for the 2016-2017 season. Oladipo was involved in the Paul

attracts 20 to 25 coaches from as far north as Washington D.C. and as far south as Georgia. He feels this is the perfect location to hold such a tournament because of the large number of Division II schools and HBCUs in Virginia and the Carolinas.

Robinson says many players have dreams of becoming Division I athletes but that is not the reality for most. He feels a lot of players do not realize the number of Division II or lower schools that have full scholarships to offer, which is one of the major points of the tournament and showcase.

“Not everyone is going to be a Division I player, and the numbers prove that playing on that level is hard to do,” he said. “There are so many kids across the globe that want to play at the Division I level of college basketball and a lot of times kids miss out on the opportunities that Division II, Division III, NAIA and Junior Colleges have to offer.”

George trade and he was an All-Star for Indiana this year.

I'm not quite sure what it will take for Westbrook to change his game and I think he never will honestly. It's just sad that a player of his talent level can't adjust his game to compliment another player of his status.

Back in 2011 trade rumors were swirling around a possible Chris Paul for Russell Westbrook trade but it never happened. Unfortunately for the Thunder they did not pull the trigger on that deal. We now see how well Paul and Harden play well together. Just imagine adding

“There is money there for them and in some cases you can get a full ride just like Division I but kids don't know that because those schools are not on TV like the Dukes, Carolinas or Wake Forests of the world,” he went on to say.

Robinson stated that throughout the years the college coaches have informed him they really enjoy coming to his tournament because they do not have to fight against Division I schools while also being treated like they are Division I. “The college coaches love it because they are the center of attention and we treat them like they are royalty,” said Robinson.

“We feed them all day and the coaches understand the teams we bring in are quality.”

“The event keeps growing and Visit Winston-Salem is sponsoring it as well and I think that speaks for itself as far as the success of the tournament,” he stated.

I know hindsight is 20/20 but imagine that Thunder team with Durant, Harden and Paul playing together for the last 6 years. There would be no Golden State Warriors dynasty and LeBron might not have an NBA championship. My hope is that Westbrook sees the errors of his ways sooner than later because it would be great to see one of the hardest working players of all time reach the mountain top.

Assistant City Mangers Derwick Paige and Greg Turner to retire Assistant City Managers Derwick Paige and Greg Turner have announced their plans to retire effective July 1, concluding a combined 70 years of service to the citizens of Winston-Salem.

City Manager Lee Garrity said that Evan Raleigh, the current director of the Office of Business Inclusion and Advancement, will transiPaige tion into the position currently held by Paige. A search will be conducted for Turner’s successor. Turner first worked for the city as a summer intern before joining the staff full-time in 1982 as a traffic signal systems engineer. He later served as the city transportation director and Turner became the assistant city manager overseeing public works areas in 2002.

Under his leadership the city successfully implemented new programs, such as the shift to roll-out recycling, and completed major capital improvement programs, including construction of the new Thomas Water Plant and the massive stormwater infrastructure project to serve downtown and Wake Forest Innovation Quarter.

Paige began his service to the citizens in 1984 as a police officer. He later served as a planner, budget analyst, M/WBE director, development director and assistant city manager. As the city’s economic development leader, Paige oversaw tremendous growth in the city. Projects he led brought thousands of jobs to Winston-Salem and added well over $2 billion to the tax base.

Sunday School Lesson

Bringing Firstfruits

Lesson Scripture: Leviticus 23:9-14, 22

By the end of this lesson, we will *Understand the principle of firstfruits offering. *Understand that God must come first in our thinking. *Put God first in every activity of our lives.

Background: The times are 1445 B.C. the place is Mount Sinai. The setting is after leaving Egypt, but before entering the Promised Land. God is preparing the people for life in Canaan. Specific rituals and laws are given to the covenant people to maintain their identity as God’s chosen and are intended to maintain purity for the community and the individual and keep the community holy as God is holy.

Lesson: The firstfruits offering was representative of the harvest and used to thank God first. The offering was done to mark the start of the grain harvest. The people were not to eat anything from the new harvest until the day after the offering to God (Sunday) (verses 9-11).

The offering was threefold: (1) the grain offering, (2) the meat or burnt offering and (3) the drink offering. Almost like a meal set for the Lord. The people themselves were to eat nothing from any of these bounties until after the offering to God and it was to be done as a perpetual offering everywhere the Israelites lived. They were to always thank God for His provision (verses 12-14).

Verse 22 is a caveat that God threw in so that the poor and homeless would benefit, too, from His bountiful blessings. (The MacArthur Study Bible, UMI, UGP, and the Oxford Bible Commentary.)

For Your Consideration: Why is it so difficult for us to give God our first and best offering, when it all belongs to and comes from Him anyway?

Life’s Application: According to Scripture, the first item on our budget … should be our tithes and offering.

Of course the itemized list would contain bills, our daily living expenses and an occasional extra expense to reward ourselves. Our first thoughts should be of thanking God for our sources of income and ability to earn.

Our delight should be in giving what we owe (tithes) and showing our appreciation (generous and sacrificial offerings). God required it of Israel and expects it of us. The way God described to give thanks in our lesson is not practical for us today, but … we can still give as instructed and thank the Lord in prayer and praise. “Give unto the Lord the glory due to His name; Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.”(Psalm 29:2).

Minister becomes ordained in father’s church

Serving the Lord has long been a passion for Renae Miller. On Sunday, April 29, she was ordained at Greater Hope of Glory Missionary Baptist Church in Winston-Salem, gaining the title of Reverend.

She began her walk in the ministry in 1998 with her father, Bishop Waddell Cockerham, senior pastor of Greater Hope, as a faith-

ful and dedicated member with a thirst and hunger for the righteousness of God. According to Miller, in 1999 she heard the voice of God commissioning her to teach and preach His word. Answering his call, she was licensed in the ministry at Greater Hope of Glory Missionary Baptist Church under the leadership of her father and was appointed as youth minister.

Over the years, she has

For decades the faith community has influenced political elections on the local and national levels.

On Tuesday, May 1 First Baptist Church, on Highland Ave., in conjunction with the Ministers’ Conference of WinstonSalem and Vicinity (MCWSV), the local NAACP chapter and Democracy North Carolina held a candidates forum for the community to hear their platforms.

First Baptist Senior Pastor Paul Robeson Ford stated that in years past, the church had held various forums but it has been around a decade or so since one has been held. He felt with the rich history First Baptist has with informing the voters it was time to bring the tradition back.

“When I first got to First Baptist, one of the things that was made very

clear to me was how active the membership of this church was with voter engagement,” said Ford.

“Given the critical importance of this year’s midterm elections I felt we should not miss this window and do something.”

Ford says he got together with the MCWSV, the NAACP and Democracy North Carolina and decided to put the event together. He was pleased with the turnout not only from the community but also with the candidates as well.

“I felt like most of the candidates were trying to be very authentic,” he said.

“Obviously everyone was ready to give their speeches and that is par for the course and what's most important is that people were trying to be transparent and faithful to the crowd that was there.”

The candidates were split into two separate panels. The first panel includ-

Paul Lowe (State Senate), Evelyn Terry (NC House of Rep.), Tony Burton, Fleming El-Amin, Tonya McDaniel and Everette Witherspoon (county commissioner) and Alex Bohanon, Eunice Campbell, Barbara Hanes Burke, Chenita Barber Johnson and Malishai Woodbury (Board of Education).

The candidates were all allowed equal time to field questions from the moderator. Some used their time to answer the questions asked while others chose to do otherwise.

The second panel was dedicated to the candidates

for sheriff and district attorney. Tim Wooten and Bobby Kimbrough participated in the sheriff debate and all candidates invited for the district attorney race were absent.

Ford wanted to stress that this was a nonpartisan forum.

He says they reached out to all of the candidates on both sides who were registered so they can have a “fair hearing” with all of the other candidates. He stated he was disappointed incumbent U.S. Rep. Virgina Foxx decided not to attend after stating she planned to.

“There are certainly those who get comfortable in their incumbent positions and this is a year when I think people need to be careful being comfortable in those positions because this is a different kind of year than we have seen in a number of years,”

2017, she returned to Greater Hope to become an associate minister.

Upon her return she founded Power of God Women's Ministry at the church, which has been a vision of hers since 1999.

The ordination service was one Miller says she will always remember.

She says her passion for women young and old

along with the trials she has endured throughout her life continued to push her toward the ministry.

“My father is the bishop of this church, so just being with him as he first started out in the ministry encouraged me and gave me that love and passion for winning souls for Christ,” said the Rev. Miller. “Growing up in public housing and seeing some of the struggles of the people in the community and being a single

mom raising three kids, it was my faith that brought me through.”

Rev. Miller stated this is just another step in her walk to bring more souls to Christ. She will become an assistant pastor at Greater Hope. She delivered her first sermon on May 6 on the topic of not giving up. She says her message was inspired by certain issues that her church had to deal with in the past.

“I just wanted to

encourage the people and tell them that regardless of what your opinion of man is, you never take your focus off of God because God is the source and man in the resource,” she said.

“A lot of times in this walk we tend to turn away from God when man has done something wrong or disappointed us.”

Going forward, Rev. Miller stated she would like to further her knowledge in Christ by enrolling in divinity school to obtain

her master’s of theology degree and eventually her doctorate.

Although she has many plans for the future, her immediate focus is on the women's ministry of the church. She says it has been one of her main goals for the past 20 years.

“Right now my greatest passion is my women's ministry because it was one that God gave me back in 1999,” she continued.

“I have been going as the spirit leads me and I just

launched it about a year ago after all those years of God telling me how to construct it.”

Rev. Miller says she does not feel any different now that she has been ordained because previously she had to fill in for her father when he took a sabbatical. She feels she is a born leader and will one day become senior pastor of Greater Hope once her father steps down.

Ford continued.

“Voters need to know who considers them as an audience to be important enough to make the sacrifice to come out and engage them,” he went on to say.

Bishop Todd Fulton, social justice committee chairman for the MCWSV, served as moderator for the sheriff debate. He was thankful to First Baptist for stepping up to hold the forum as well as to the community for coming out to hear what the candidates had to say.

“I thought the forum was a success and I think both of the sheriff candidates were great and I feel both are qualified to be our sheriff,” said Fulton.

Fulton stated he wanted to bring the information to the people to keep them updated with the platforms of the candidates.

“If we are going to change our communities, we have to change our law makers and our politicians,” Fulton said. “With a president as an idiot, in this season it's important as people of color that we show up and represent like never before because it's a matter of life and death for our communities.”
