Now You Know...
his year during Black History Month let’s highlight and celebrate of Black Environmentalists. Unlike their white counterparts, the dedication, patience, leadership, intelligence and efforts of the Black Environmentalist largely goes un-noticed. There is a substantial number of black activists who in their own way are influencing climate strategies. From
models in the early 1960s. These models have helped scientists understand climate change. As his research developed, Washington worked to incorporate the oceans and sea ice into climate models. Washington has engaged in research for over 50 years, has over 150 publications, a Nobel Peace Prize and many other awards, including the National Medal of Science
the halls of academia to the walk ways of the inner cities, they advocate for conservation, stewardship and environmental justice. Below are two such noteworthy individuals:
given to him by President Obama “for his development and use of global climate models to understand climate and explain the orle of human activities and natural processes in the Earth’s climate system” and “for his work to support a diverse science and engineering workforce.”
Dr. Warren Washington
Dr. Washington is the second African American to earn a doctorate in the atmospheric sciences. In collaboration with Dr. Akira Kasahara, Dr. Washington became one of the first developers of groundbreaking atmospheric computer
Rue Mapp
Mapp is the founder and CEO of Outdoor Afro, a nonprofit that celebrates and inspires African American connections and leadership in nature to help people
take better care of themselves, communities and the planet. Outdoor Afro has networks in nearly 30 states (including Georgia), led by 80 trained volunteer leaders who facilitate activities such as hiking, biking, camping, environmental education, conservation stewardship and more. These activities promote healthy lifestyles and help communities find healing, connect to black history in many natural areas and inspire an increased desire to protect vulnerable public lands. Since Outdoor Afro’s inception in 2009 as a blog, Mapp has captured the attention and support of millions through a multi-media approach that is grounded in personal connections and community organizing. They work to change the narrative of who engages in the Outdoor by posting thousands of photos and stories. By 2010 Mapp was invited to the White House to participate in the America’s Great Outdoors Conference and subsequently to take part in a think-tank to inform the launch of the First Lady’s “Let’s Move” initiative. Mapp’s influence continues to grow and she describes Outdoor Afro as a network that is changing “what it means to be black and connected to the outdoors” and “what it means to care for the planet.” n —Sis.

This is Pastor Parker writing this letter to you.
F
irst, I want to say that when I was in K-12 (kindergarten through twelfth grade), I never went through anything like what you have gone through for almost a year now. You have had to deal with being in school and out of school; learning in home school or having no school; you have put up with online classes, strange in-person classes, being home with parents, bad Wi-Fi connections, computer problems, can’t hang out, can’t visit my friends, friends can’t visit me, can’t see all my family; it’s not like it used to be. Then, there has been all this adult drama that you have had to live through – you know, difficulty adjusting to and getting through this wild COVID-19/disease/virus/pandemic; thousands of people marching for justice in the streets all over the world; major troubles and changes in government; and maybe even some money or job issues. I am not saying that I fully understand all that you have experienced these last 11 months, but I do realize you have gone through a lot, maybe even more than you can say or feel comfortable saying. But I do want you to accept this truth: Along with those who care for you every day, providing you with food, shelter, clothing, transportation, and love, your whole church family deeply cares for you and wishes for you nothing but the very best. We hope and pray that God will bless you with the ability to get through these strange times and even make you a better person, a stronger person, a smarter person, because you went through them. We encourage you, now, to do your best at home, in school, and anywhere else you might go. Remain as safe as you can, practicing what you have been told in order to keep safe during this season of the coronavirus. And if things get really, really hard, try to calm down, find a quiet place, and in your own way ask God to help you. No matter how young you are, you are not too young to pray. And remember God might help by changing the situation or by changing how you feel about the situation. Stay positive. As much as possible, stay focused on good things. And believe with me that we will come out of this strange time soon. n God be with you, all my children —Pastor Parker

Overview of Available COVID-19 Vaccines
C
oronavirus 2019 (COVID-19), according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention is likely the third-leading cause of death in the U.S. in 2020. At the time of writing this article, over 380,000 Americans have died from the virus. As the death toll weighs heavy, it is equally important to know that the increased amount of hospitalization and economic burden is just as devastating for Americans and the entire world. The epidemic has overwhelmed the healthcare systems as workers are on the brink of burnout. It was expected, as with other viruses, that mutations will occur with COVID-19. There are currently multiple variants of the virus circulating globally and although testing has increased, the US regulators have recently warned about potential risk of false negative results if a mutation occurs in the part of the virus’s genome assessed
by the test. According to the FDA, the risk however, is low that the mutations will overall affect the accuracy of currently available test and they are taking measures to ensure authorized test remain accurate. There is hope! According to the FDA Commissioner, Stephen Hahn, MD, it is believed that the data suggest currently authorized COVID-19 vaccines may still be effective against the emerging genetic
variants. There are 2 vaccines currently approved for use in the United States via Early Use Authorization (EUA): BNT-162b2 (Pfizer, BioNTech) and mRNA-1273 (Moderna). Both Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are developed using messenger-RNA (mRNA) technology method. Use of this method allows speedy development and uses strands of genetic material from the coronavirus to activate the body’s immune system, rather than employing a whole, deactivated virus as traditional vaccines do (Note: mRNA vaccines do not contain COVID-19). The vaccines have the material for how to make our cells make the spike protein which resembles COVID-19. The immune system will make antibodies against those spike proteins so that when the body is exposed to COVID-19, antibodies will react and provide protection. See the comparison chart for the 2 available vaccines below:

Report vaccine side effects to FDA/CDC Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). The VAERS toll-free number is 1-800-822-7967 or report online to https://vaers.hhs.gov/reportevent.html.
Some other vaccine technologies in development (Phase 3) for COVID-19 vaccines include viral vector vaccines (AstraZeneca and Johnson and Johnson) and protein-based vaccines (Novavax and Sanofi/ GSK). For vaccine tracking and updates visit Vaccines – COVID19 Vaccine Tracker (trackvaccines.org) or for vaccines in early stages of development: https://www. clinicaltrials.gov/. As you keep in mind the current surge in COVID-19 and our theme of Hope Revived, consider vaccination to decrease the severity and spread of COVID-19. Factors you should consider include your risk of contracting the virus (work environments…), your risk of death or severe illness if you contract the virus (older adult, race, certain medical conditions…), and living arrangements (ex: long-term care
facilities…). Visit the CDC website for your complete source regarding risk (https:// www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/ need-extra-precautions/index.html). After you are vaccinated, you must continue to wear a mask, perform proper hand hygiene, avoid contact with your face, and practice social distancing. No vaccines are
100% effective, and you can still be a carrier of the virus potentially putting others at risk. Contact your healthcare provider or state department of health for testing locations near you (https://dph.georgia.gov/ locations/covid-vaccination-site). n —Submitted by Sis.

THE HEROES/HEROINES AMONG US
M
ost times, we look to prominent figures or leaders as our heroes. This pandemic reminds us that heroes or heroines come from all walks of life, and we do not have to look far to find one. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Department of Homeland Security have designated certain workers as essential personnel during this state of emergency. Many of these essential workers are members of Zion Hill. Daily, these workers face fear and danger as they provide the essential services that we require. They are certainly heroes to us. Below is a summary of the categories for essential workers. Healthcare Employees. COVID-19 re-
searchers, testers, and vaccinators are trying to prevent, detect, protect, and cure this virus. Despite their vulnerability, caregivers (medical, dental, psychological, pharmaceutical, physical therapy, occupational therapy, social service, mental health, diagnostic and technologists/technicians, etc.) have continued to treat us in their offices, hospitals, clinics, or virtually. Administrators and support workers, including those who provide food service, housekeeping, and security, continue to keep hospitals, laboratories, health centers, clinics, and rehabilitation facilities fully operational.

| THE LIU
First Responders. When there is an
emergency, they respond, whether for law enforcement, fire, storm, or tornado, and they continue to maintain the correctional facilities. These responders are front-line and management, emergency management, law enforcement, emergency management systems, fire, corrections, 911 call centers, fusion centers, hazardous material responders, and digital infrastructure contractors. Food and Agriculture Employees.
We can still buy groceries because farmers and farm workers continue to supply the food chain. Stores are stocked, and we can pick-up or get food delivered. Workers in grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants, fast-food, carry-out, food manufacturing and processing, food and beverage distribution, etc., continue to serve us. Energy Employees. We continue to
have electrical and gas service, and when it is interrupted, it is restored. Water and Sanitation. Our drinking
water remains available and safe. The wastewater/drainage infrastructure remains operational.
Transportation and Logistics. We can
drive the car, buy a new one, get it repaired
or serviced, or rent one. We can ride the bus, train, or plane. Truck drivers are still supplying our needs; postal workers are still sorting and delivering our mail, and shipping companies continue to deliver our packages. Public Workers. Workers continue to
maintain essential dams, locks, levees, public works facilities, roads, and bridges; fix water and sewer breaks; collect garbage and trash and maintain traffic signals. Construction of critical infrastructure continues. Plumbers, electricians, exterminators, inspectors, and other workers are providing essential safety and sanitation services. Manufacturing. Workers, who are neces-
sary for the manufacturing of materials and products needed for medical supply chains, including personal protective equipment and hygiene products, transportation, energy, communications, food and agriculture, chemical manufacturing, nuclear facilities, the operation of dams, water and wastewater treatment, emergency services, and the defense industrial base. Communications and Information Technology. Staying at home for almost
a year, the need for communications has escalated. We still have telephones,
televisions, radios, computers, cable, and satellite services. We can communicate with each other and maintain relationships through innovative ways. We are entertained, taught fitness, and kept informed about the news, weather, and traffic.

youth in Pre-K, kindergarten, elementary, middle, and high schools and provide continuing education in our colleges/ universities and vocational institutions, either in-person or virtually. Security and janitorial/cleaning services are still provided in hotels and other facilities, and laundry services continue. Human service workers in local, state, and federal government continue to provide benefits and protect children and the elderly. We can still vote; the weather is still forecasted; drivers’ licenses are still provided; nursing homes and rehabilitation facilities continue to provide care, and childcare facilities continue to support working parents. We have been able to focus on self and home improvement. Most of all, we continue to
institutions are still open. Workers and administrators are still providing services in person, providing online support, and maintaining systems for processing financial transactions and services. Hazardous Material Management.
Hazardous material management workers continue to keep us and the environment safe by maintaining nuclear facilities, managing medical waste and waste from pharmaceuticals, laboratories processing test kits, and medical material production. Defense Industrial Base. The essential
services required to meet national security commitments to the federal government and the U.S. military continue to be supported, managed, and maintained by essential employees and contractors.
Chemical Management Employees.
Chemical and industrial gas supply chains are maintained at chemical manufacturing plants, laboratories, and distribution facilities, and basic raw chemical materials are transported to the producers of industrial and consumer goods, such as hand sanitizers, food, and food additives, pharmaceuticals, paper products, etc. LET’S THANK THEM. For Zion Hill
members in all these essential categories, let us give thanks for their service and perseverance. Let us pray for their health and wellness. Please call two persons you know and tell them how much we appreciate them and that they are our heroes or heroines. IF YOU ARE AN ESSENTIAL WORKER
and would like to share your experience with the history committee, please contact the church office and leave your email address and phone number. Your experience with this pandemic is a crucial part of our church history. n
