Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what people will submit to and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them and these will continue till they have resisted either with words or blows or words or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they suppress. —Fredrick Douglass (1849)
Murder By Design! By Dr. Eliz Coleman Dowdy, Guest Writer
Darrell Allen and his 2 oldest boys ADELANTO, CA- For communities of color, the all too familiar singing of bullets was heard in Adelanto on July 10 when deputies from the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department arrived at an apartment complex on Poinciana Road, due to an alleged domestic battery charge lodged against Darrell Allen. The thirty-two-year-old Black man and his girlfriend were engaged in a dispute according to witnesses, many of whom have gone silent recently. After she
called the police, he allegedly left the apartment and went into a laundry room across the street. This is where he was when deputies made contact with him that fateful afternoon that proved to be Allen’s last minutes on earth as a hail storm of bullets tore into Allen’s body. There are two versions of why this atrocity occurred in the manner described above. According to first reports from the authorities, Allen advanced towards the deputies with a knife. Another version from

It should come as no surprise that the last place most formerly incarcerated want to be is at another courthouse standing before another judge. That’s probably one reason why thousands that could have gotten expunged haven’t taken advantage of the process locally since 2014 when the expungement law opened up. Since then, Michelle Dodd has handled over 300 cases from start to finish. She takes care of the entire process, and all clients need to do is show up at the door of the Legal Aid Society of San Bernardino. And, it’s free. “They’re going to send you right to me. I’m going to do the paperwork, you’ll come in and sign it. You don’t ever have to see the judge or the court clerk,” said Dodd, case management director at the Legal Aid Society
of San Bernardino. Documents are sent by mail so the client doesn’t have to file. The judge hears it within 30 to 45 days when the order is denied, or approved, via the mail. With her 90% success rate, mostly it’s approved. Over the past few years, she has seen several clients come in that need multiple expungements. One client originally had three charges, but had snowballed into 28 parole layered charges. It was a case of violation on top of violation, on top of violation. “The reality is that they were young. Now they’re older, and all of these are from their past. They were silly charges,” she said. Youth get tied up in the system from an early age, and probably never learned how, or had an opportunity to clean up their past. Now that they’re older, they have a family to support and

they’re trying to get a job. Despite their checkered backgrounds, some of her clients have been able to land decent work, but she recommends not waiting until the last minute to set the record straight. One client was up for a job at DMV, but he lost his window of opportunity because his expungement was not even close to being ready. He had to produce proof, but he didn’t realize that he needed an expungement until they notified him. “They sent him a letter of denial that he had a charge from 23 years ago, and he needed to get it fixed,” she said. “But they only gave him ten days to clear that up before he could reapply.” It cost him the potential job. Others have also come in because they are trying to assist their aging parents. Decades later, they can’t pass the background check without an expungement that they didn’t realize they needed. “They’re thinking I did two days in jail, and got 36 months of probation,” she said. “Now, it’s 20 years later and they can’t get the job because of that charge.” Dodd, who has worked with Legal Aid nearly 24 years, said the expungement law passed in 2014, but the forms changed in 2017 to re-sentencing language that now involves several different components, including
immigration. Until the laws change, the biggest barrier even with expungement is that the formerly incarcerated still must check the box that they’ve been arrested. “Once it’s expunged, it says dismissed instead of what the sentence was,” she said. “To get it off the record requires an entirely different motion, and character letters from people [without a] guarantee that’s going through either.” However, there may be some encouraging changes on the horizon for low-level offenders that have been locked out of jobs, housing or education because of their arrest record. AB 1076 wants to seal the conviction database of eight million records from public view, but it will be open for certain law enforcement agencies. To pass, it needs to clear both Democratically-controlled houses before heading to Gov. Gavin Newsom to sign or veto in September. If passed, the law would take effect in January, 2021. “That’s the change we need,” Dodd said. Assemblymember Phil Ting (DSan Francisco), author of AB 1076, states on his website that the process of automating arrest and conviction relief at the California Department of Justice (continued on page2)

Members of the community also want answers and accountability. Unnecessary and senseless deaths are becoming all too common in our High Desert. Mr. Allen was shot, multiple times, in broad daylight in the City of Adelanto. It is believed Mr. Allen was fully complying with the commands of San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department. Mr. Allen did not pose an imminent threat to himself or those around him. Questions abound such as: What deescalating measures were taken by responding deputies and why does local law enforcement not yet have body cameras? Also, why haven’t the names of the shooting officers been released? This epidemic is not just limited to the City of Adelanto. Just last week, another shooting incident occurred in the City of Victorville. The negligent
and reckless acts of law enforcement endangered the lives of innocent bystanders and the public. These actions, which remain ignored, question the overall practice and morality of law enforcement. Mr. Allen was a young, black man; a wonderful father; a husband; a son; a brother. Now, those closest to him must live each day with this unfathomable absence in their lives. Mr. Allen’s family would like to know … as trusted, elected officials, what will be done to hold those who took Mr. Allen’s life, needlessly, and how will another senseless murder in the community be prevented? You were elected and chosen by this very community to protect and seek justice amongst the wronged. Will the people of this community be subjected to the loss of another valued member or will this epidemic stop? We come to you to seek the necessary security in protecting one another and to avoid losing lives at the hands of law enforcement. Can Mr. Allen’s family, along with your community, trust you to make a difference? There is a “Day of Action” scheduled for August 7, 2019, at 5:00 p.m. where Mr. Allen’s family will be present, along with members of the community, seeking answers to their questions. We hope when your name is called on August 7, 2019, you will stand and speak up for the people, or, will silence be heard with your absence? The choice is yours.

Food Drive by Caliber Teammates in High Desert Part of National Total of Over $900,000 in Donations or 5.4 Million Meals Community News VICTORVILLE, CA (July 18, 2019) – Feeding America San Bernardino is among more than 85 food banks across 37 states who will be able to restock their shelves to ensure at-risk kids do not go hungry this summer thanks to Caliber Collision’s 2019 Rhythm Restoration Food Drive collecting over $900,000 in donations or 5.4 million meals from April through May. Caliber’s 20,000 teammates were inspired to serve their local communities by raising cash and food donations through fundraising events such as car shows, motorcycle rallies, golf tournaments, dunk tanks, and other giving opportunities. Caliber’s Rhythm Restoration Food Drive is just one of the many ways Caliber is weaving the company into the fabric of every community it serves. According to Feeding America, 22 million children rely on the National School Lunch Program to provide free and reduced-price
meals during the school year. When school lets out, these daily meals go away. “We set a lofty goal of raising 5 million meals in 2019. Our teammates challenged themselves, our business partners, friends in the community, and each other by collecting more than 5.4 million meals across more than 1,100 locations,” said Steve Grimshaw, Caliber Collision Chief Executive Officer. “I am proud of the passion and commitment of our teammates living our purpose of Restoring the Rhythm of Your Life®, to raise more than 20 million meals over the past 8 years as we work to become the collision repair provider and employer of choice in every community we serve.” Over the past eight years, Caliber’s annual food drive has become one of the largest food drives in the U.S. This year’s results broke last year’s record of 4.3 million meals by almost 25%
LA School Board Votes to End Random Searches By The Los Angeles Sentinel
LA School Board Votes to End Random Searches...continued “You don’t have to people feel like criminals in order to keep our schools safe,” said David Turner of the Brothers, Sons, Selves Coalition. “Our young people need love, our young people need protection, they do not need to be treated as if they are the problem.” Some board members dissented. “A fair, nondiscriminatory, and respectful wanding program provides increased safety for students and staff,” Scott M. Schmerelson said. “It may not be the perfect tool, but until a reasonable and effective alternative is proposed, I sincerely believe that random
wanding serves as a deterrent for students who may consider bringing a weapon to school.” A coalition called Students Not Suspects issued a report last year that concluded the random searches didn’t turn up any guns and only a tiny fraction of them produced any weapons at all. The report said the searches also pulled students out of class and cost the district more than $1 million a year. The school district has more than 730,000 students and more than 1,000 schools.

Thomas L. Jennings, First African American to Receive a Patent
Thomas L. Jennings, First African American to Receive a Patent...continued as: “A very good entre-preneur and businessman.” It was during his early 20s that Jennings became a tailor. His skills were so admired that people near and far visited his shop to have their clothing al-tered or custom tailored. This response eventually allowed Jennings to open his own store on Church Street in lower Man-hattan, which grew into one of the largest clothing stores in New York City. Jennings earned a large amount of money as a tailor, and even more with his dry scouring invention. Most of the money funded his abolitionist activities as well as free the rest of his family from slavery. He became a leader in the abolitionist and civil rights movement in New York City, was
a founder and trustee of the Abyssinian Baptist Church, assistant secretary for the First Annual Convention of the Peo-ple of Color in Philadelphia in 1831, and helped organize the Legal Rights Association in 1855, raising challenges to dis-crimination, and funding and organizing legal defenses for court cases. Jennings died in New York City in 1856. Frederick Doug-lass wrote about his death, not-ing the importance of the pat-ent Jennings received and that the patent recognized him as a “citizen of the United States,” a designation at the time that shocked many.

Patents are important offi-cial documents as they are used to safeguard one’s inventions. The first U.S. patent was issued in 1790. But it wasn’t until March 3, 1821, that a patent was issued to an African American: Thomas L. Jennings. Jennings, born free in 1791, was awarded the patent for his discovery of a process called dry scouring, also known as dry cleaning. While working as a tailor, he discovered that cus-tomers needed a solution for soiled clothing, as certain fab-rics were difficult to clean. Af-ter experimenting with various cleaning agents and solutions, Jennings soon discovered the successful blend for treatment. Jennings’ patent however, was not without controversy. He was a free man and thus was able to gain exclusive rights to his
invention and profit from it. But slaves during this time could not patent their own in-ventions; creations automati-cally became property of their owners. This regulation in 1793 patent law was based on the le-gal presumption: “the master is the owner of the fruits of the labor of the slave both manual and intellectual.” Slaves were not citizens and therefore could not own rights to their inven-tions. While there were provisions through which an enslaved per-son could enjoy patent protec-tion, their ability to seek out, receive, and defend a patent was unlikely. It wasn’t until 1861 that pat-ent rights were extended to en-slaved people. Pat Sluby, a retired U.S. pat-ent examiner and author of “The Inventive Spirit of African Americans,” wrote of Jennings: “He is the earliest [African American receiver of a patent] that we have recorded … This is 44 years before the end of slav-ery.” Sluby also described Jen-nings (continued in next 2 columns)
Helping Kids Through Education By: Chelsea Davis-Bibb HOUSTON – Born and raised in the Acres Homes community, Ms. Willie Elaine Hubbard Brooks wanted a way to give back to where she grew up. Inspired by her mother ’s community activism and outstanding leadership in the Acres Homes community, Brooks founded the BenCheri’ Educational Center. It was her mother who encouraged her to become an entrepreneur, as she instilled in her the importance of helping the community and those in it. After spending time subbing, tutoring and mentoring students in the local school districts, Brooks felt the desire pronging her even stronger to give back to the community. The best way she knew how was through education. Consequently, Bencheri Educational Center was formed. The unique part about the center is that its’ named derived from her children’s names’, Benjamin and Sheree Brooks. Bencheri Educational Center’s mission is, “to narrow the gap of illiteracy in the community and surrounding areas.” The
center tutors students from Pre-K all the way thru college. Bencheri provides academic coursework in math, reading, STEM classes, debate, public speaking and writing classes. They also teach art, health education, playwriting classes and manufacturing classes that will lead to a career pathway for students to attend a community college or university. The center also provides classes that are focused on robotics, entrepreneurship and
financial literacy. The beautiful part about this center is that their curriculum is designed for each student based on their individual needs. The BenCheri’ Center strives to help as many kids as possible. They are not only teaching them educational skills, but skills that will help them when they enter the real world. Brooks says, “We are trying to make sure these kids not just get a job, but a career.” Furthermore, she stated, “Our
students will get the best skills, training, mentorship and will be accountable for mak-ing their community sustainable.” If you are interested in learning more about the BenCheri’ Educational Center, you can visit their website at h t t p : / / b e n c h e r i educationalcenter.org/ or call (713) 598-1646 for more information.

COMMUNITYS.B. Legal Aid Offers Free Expungement...continued from page 1 The nation’s second-largest school moved Tuesday to end random metal-detector searches of students at secondary schools, a daily procedure that critics called ineffective, intrusive and offensive. The board of the Los Angeles Unified School District directed Superintendent Austin Beutner to develop an alternative plan for school safety that eliminates the use of random searches by July 2020. “Administrative random searches are incredibly invasive, dehumanizing and communicate to students that they are viewed not as promising minds but as
criminals,” board member Tyler Okeke said. The daily searches were instituted in 1993 in the wake of several mass shootings at schools around the country and a perceived increase in violence involving firearms and other weapons on campuses. They involved random students being checked with hand-held metal detector wands. Critics, however, said the searches weren’t really random but disproportionately targeted blacks and other minorities. Dozens of speakers opposed the searches at the board meeting. (continued in next 2 columns)
is the first of its kind. “Everybody deserves a second chance. We must open doors for those facing housing and employment barriers and use available technology to clear arrest and criminal records for individuals already eligible for relief. There is a great cost to our economy and society when we shut out job-seeking workers looking for a better future,” Ting stated. According to www.timedone.org, a campaign of the Alliance for Safety and Justice, one-fifth of the 70 million Americans convicted of a crime still struggle with barriers to access jobs, housing, education
long after they have served their time. “The negative impacts of a felony conviction disproportionately impact people of color, people living in urban areas, people without a college degree, and people who are low income. The largest disparities relate to finding a job or housing,” Californians for Safety and Justice reports. “ People of color are 25% more likely than white people to report difficulty finding a job and 61% more likely to report difficulty finding housing.” For more information on clinic times and document preparation, see http://legalaidofsb.org/

Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross Jr. Police officers in Philadelphia and St. Louis are paying a heavy price for their acts of racism. Weeks after a scathing analysis by the nonprofit Plain View Project, the two departments have responded. In Philadelphia, several officers have been terminated while in St. Louis, prosecutors have barred a number of police personnel from bringing cases against suspects. “I continue to be very angered and disappointed by these posts,” Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross Jr., said on Thursday, July 18. Ross said the department terminated 13 officers who made “posts that advocated violence.” He said 17 other officers still face “severe disciplinary action,” while another four will receive 30day suspensions. In St. Louis, Circuit Attorney Kimberly Gardner said she added 22 officers to her “exclusion list” of authorities banned from bringing cases to her office after the Facebook posts were made public. In a letter sent to Public Safety Director Jimmie Edwards and St. Louis Police Chief John Hayden, Gardner said seven of those 22 were “permanently banned.” Hayden and Gardner have said they are still investigating the Facebook posts. In June, the Plain View Project determined that at least 328 activeduty police officers in various cities, including Philadelphia and St. Louis, posted content that championed violence against Muslims, immigrants and African Americans. In the posts, officers from rookies to the highest of rank, said the viewed African Americans as “dogs,” and some wrote that they would arrive at work believing that, “it’s a good day for a

We saw a number of posts that appeared to denigrate those groups of people,” Baker-White said. Pennsylvania State. Rep.

Rise in property values to outpace property-tax increase for the average homeowner Riverside County News RIVERSIDE – Despite a nearly six percent overall increase in property value in Riverside County, the average owner will not see a commensurate increase in property taxes, according to Riverside County’s AssessorCounty Clerk-Recorder. All sectors of Riverside County's real estate market grew in the fiscal year that ended June 30. Assessor-County ClerkRecorder Peter Aldana announced today that the taxable value of all property in Riverside County for the current year is $302 billion. This year's tax roll—a list of all taxable property, its owner and its value as of Jan. 1—will generate more than $3 billion for local government services. “This is a special roll to me,” Aldana said. “It marks the first roll closed with our new state-of-theart property tax system. I am proud of the work my team of dedicated public servants performed, working tirelessly and innovating solutions to complete this major software upgrade. Their effort helps fund the local school and safety services that make our communities thrive.” Riverside County’s new property tax system—a joint project between the Assessor, Auditor and Tax Collector, and built by Thomson-Reuters— replaces a 47-year-old legacy system. The new system will improve communication between departments, improve efficiency and help the Assessor track market conditions more effectively. Home prices continued to grow even as sales began to slow at the end of 2018. CoreLogic, a real
estate information services firm, reported a 3.5 percent rise in median home prices. Lower rents and prices of inland properties helped attract investors and industrial users to Riverside County, fueling increased demand in warehouse facilities resulting in higher prices for commercial-industrial properties. Despite the increases, most property owners will not see an equal rise in property taxes. State law requires the assessor to enroll the property at its current market value, or at the lower value under Prop. 13, adjusted for inflation. The assessor enrolls most properties at their Prop. 13 value and taxes typically can increase by no more than two percent each year. Approximately 83 percent of Riverside County property is protected under Prop. 13. Property tax bills, which go out in October, notify owners about changes in property value. Although the assessor works to enroll fair-market values, an owner might disagree with the valuation. Those owners may file a free decline-in-value application online. Applications are due by Nov. 1 and are available at www.asrclkrec.com. Property owners may review their assessment roll value by visiting the Assessor’s website at www.asrclkrec.com or calling (951) 955-6200. Property owners may also request a formal hearing before the Assessment Appeals Board. The deadline to file is Nov. 30. The application is available on the Clerk of the Board’s website at www.rivcocob.org.
CFPB turns its back on fair lending USDA Has More Than $400 Million enforcement and reporting Still Available for Renewable Energy System and Energy Efficiency Loan Guarantees Government News ASHINGTON, July 18, 2019 – Acting Assistant to the Secretary for Rural Development Joel Baxley today encouraged farmers, rural small businesses and agricultural producers to apply for financing in a key U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) program that provides loan guarantees to help rural small businesses lower their energy costs. “Under the leadership of President Trump and Agriculture Secretary Perdue, USDA is committed to increasing economic development in rural communities across the country through strong partnerships with rural businesses,” Baxley said. “USDA’s Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) is an important tool to help strengthen and grow the rural economy.” USDA accepts applications for REAP funding year-round. Potential applicants should contact their state USDA Rural Development office for additional information. REAP funding can be used for renewable energy systems such as anaerobic digesters, biomass, geothermal, hydropower, wind and solar. It also can be used to make energy efficiency improvements to heating, ventilation and cooling systems; insulation; and lighting and refrigeration. Below are some
examples of USDA’s REAP investments. Edgehill Farms, an ag tourism center in Oakland, Ky., received a $34,596 loan guarantee to install a 34.8-kilowatt photovoltaic array system on the roof of its ham processing facility. The system will generate approximately 45,000 kilowatt hours (kWh) annually that will be sold directly to the local utility, earning $4,448 for the firm annually. In Magnolia, N.C., Optima KV received a $6.5 million loan guarantee for an anaerobic digester that will help hog producers dispose of waste by converting it to energy. The project aggregates multiple biogas streams at a refinery. The resulting natural gas is then transported via pipeline to a power plant to generate electricity. The digester produces additional revenue for hog producers and a cleaner environment. In April 2017, President Donald J.

CFPB turns its back on fair lending enforcement and reporting...continued written comments against another recent deregulatory move planned by the CFPB. This effort would exempt hundreds of lenders from providing vital data that tracks the market and consumer access to credit. “The Bureau must refer to the Justice Department (DOJ) a matter when it has reason to believe that a creditor has engaged in a pattern or practice of lending discrimination in violation of ECOA,” acknowledged the report. “In 2018, the Bureau did not refer any ECOA violations to the Justice Department…In 2018, the Bureau opened and continued a number of fair-lending-related investigations, however, it did not bring fair lending-related enforcement actions”, the June 2019 report continued. While CFPB turned away from fair lending, several 2018 lawsuits were filed mostly by private and nonprofit advocates. Their collective actions realized large settlements, fair lending reports and continued documentation of illegal breaches. For example, nearly a year ago, New York’s Suffolk County Federal Credit Union signed a $1 billion settlement rather than go to trial on discriminatory charges. The settlement resolved a case filed two years earlier, in 2016 that alleged Black and Latino consumers were denied mortgage approvals at a higher rate than that of the credit union’s white customers. Later that same year, in a regulatory examination of Citigroup, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) found that consumers of color were not receiving the same mortgage rate discounts reserved for its large-deposit customers. That case was referred to the Justice Department. Another 2018 discriminatory case involved lawsuits with several major banks on behalf of consumers in two Maryland counties, Montgomery and Price George. The case alleged that as early as the mid- 2000s, consumers of color were steered into highercost, non-prime mortgages – a violation of the Fair Housing Act. Some might contend that this sample summary might not be fair to CFPB and its mission. To such questioning minds, I would add that this June a coalition of 158 state and national advocates filed written comments against another recent deregulatory move planned by the CFPB. This effort would exempt hundreds of lenders from providing vital data that tracks the market and consumer access to credit. Every year, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) report makes public details of the past
year’s mortgage market. It is the only national report that includes the race and ethnicity of mortgage applicants, types of loan approvals as well as denials. Most importantly, the actual behavior of lenders – both banks and nonbanks record the total number of loans involved. By exempting so many lenders, the highly anticipated report would lose valuable clarity and irrefutable data. Among the organizations signing these comments were: NAACP, The Leadership Conference for Civil and Human Rights, the National Fair Housing Alliance, and the Center for Responsible Lending. “A large loss of HMDA reporting will create a distorted view of lending trends in these underserved areas and will make it more difficult for stakeholders to determine if revitalization efforts are succeeding,” wrote the housing advocates. “The overall impact of raising the threshold will be to frustrate HMDA’s purposes of determining whether credit needs are being met and whether public investment has succeeded in rejuvenating the housing and lending markets in struggling neighborhoods.” The coalition comments also include a litany of CFPB actions that have occurred since 2017, all with anti-consumer effects: Failure to issue any violations of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act; Declared its intent to ignore the Disparate Impact standard, a long-standing legal test that holds the effects of discrimination, not the intent are legal violations; Publicly praised the repeal of anti-discrimination auto lending guidance; Sided with payday lenders in their challenge of the Bureau’s payday rule promulgated under the previous director; Stripped the Bureau’s fair lending office of its supervisory and enforcement powers; and Relegated the development of regulation on fair lending for minority and women-owned businesses to a low-level concern. In many ways, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has failed to live up to its name and reneged on its mission. “This lack of enforcement demonstrates our journey towards fair lending still has miles to travel,” said Melissa Stegman, a CRL Senior Policy Counsel. “CFPB was created to protect consumers without exception.” Charlene Crowell is the deputy communications director with the Center for Responsible Lending.

U.S. Department of Commerce Invests $23 Million to Fuel High-Growth Entrepreneurship Across America Government News
This June a coalition of 158 state and national advocates filed written comments against another recent deregulatory move planned by the CFPB. This effort would exempt hundreds of lenders from providing vital data that tracks the market and consumer access to credit. More than 50 years ago, this nation enacted legal guarantees that fair housing would be available to all Americans. Despite this federal assurance, however, a disturbing and ongoing stream of reports and lawsuits remind us that we are still on an aspirational journey. Aggressive enforcement of fair housing and other antidiscriminatory laws are supposed to bring punishments for violators, and restitution for those harmed.
But as with so many justice issues –either financial or criminal, what really happens in life seems a world away from the African American experience. Since its inception, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s (CFPB) mandate was to protect consumers from discriminatory lending as well as to ensure fair access to credit. In addition to violations of the Fair Housing Act, CFPB also has the authority to refer potential violations of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) to the Justice Department. Despite these and other enforcement options, CFPB’s most recent fair lending report to Congress acknowledged a full year without any fair lending enforcement actions.

UnitedHealth Invests $8M to Educate, Train Minority Data Scientists By WI Web Staff
Medicare and Foreign Travel...continued Advantage or another Medicare health plan (instead of Original Medicare), check with your plan to see if it offers coverage outside the U.S. 3. Consider buying a travel insurance policy that includes health coverage.
Morehouse College, Morehouse School of Medicine, Spelman College and Clark Atlanta University are among historically Black institutions poised to receive funding for analytics and data science training through an $8.25 million investment by UnitedHealth Group. The five-year funding initiative will help Atlanta University Center Consortium Data Science Initiative improve education in health care analytics at historically black colleges and universities. “Many universities have refocused existing programs or developed new efforts to respond to the need for this, yet these responses are still insufficient based on projected demand,” AUCC Executive Director Todd Greene said in a statement. “The UnitedHealth Group funding will
help to establish the base for this broad initiative, including hiring an accomplished director. “Through UnitedHealth Group internships, guest lectures, faculty development opportunities and other joint efforts, our students will greatly benefit from this partnership with the world’s largest managed health care company,” Greene said. UnitedHealth, which notes that job openings for data experts in the U.S. will exceed more than 2.7 million by next year, also emphasized that the investment is aimed at continuing to develop a 21st-century health workforce that can develop “personalized, culturally competent care, particularly in underserved communities.” This article originally appeared in the Washington Informer.
Is Mouth Breathing Harming Your Health? 4 Ways To Ensure Your Lips Are Sealed Health/Fitness News
Even a small child knows that people breathe through their noses. Except, of course, that little fact of anatomy isn’t always true. Often, people breathe through their mouths, unaware that this habit could be a sign of potential problems brewing. “In many cases, people breathe through their mouths because the airways through their noses are blocked,” says Dr. R. Craig Miller (www.themillercenter.com), a dentist and author of Get Back Your Smile, Take Back Your Life. “If the situation isn’t addressed, the airway issues can just get worse.” Among the problems caused by or connected to blocked airways and mouth breathing are misaligned teeth, inflammation of the tonsils and adenoids, an enlarged uvula, obstructive sleep apnea and TMD, a disorder of the jaw muscles or joints. A variety of treatment options can help alleviate some of these problems, Miller says. Just a few of those treatments are: Laser light therapy. This therapy can provide immediate relief for TMD, although its effects are temporary. “In spite of its name, there is no heat or burning sensation as you might think, which is why we refer to it in my practice as cold laser,” Miller says. This therapy has been shown to increase circulation by stimulating the formation of additional blood vessels to replace damaged ones. The therapy also stimulates the production of collagen, the essential protein used to repair and replace damaged tissue. CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure). With a CPAP
machine, patients wear a mask during sleep that seals over their nose and mouth, or over their nose only. The CPAP opens up the airway, Miller says, by feeding positive air pressure though the mask via a hose connected to the CPAP machine. CPAPs have their problems, though, he says. They can cause laceration of the bridge of the nose, rawness in the throat, bloating in the stomach, nasal congestion and sleep deprivation. People also aren’t always good about using them. Oral appliance therapy for OSA. An oral appliance that is custom-designed and fabricated for the individual patient can provide relief for sleep apnea, Miller says. Known as mandibular-repositioning appliances, they are worn during sleep and reposition the lower jaw, advancing it forward to change the shape of the airway and open it up to make breathing easier. Surgery. Surgery can be helpful where there is an anatomical obstruction, such as large tonsils or adenoids, or an enlarged uvula, Miller says. “It’s better for your health to take care of your mouth-breathing problem, perhaps in more ways than people realize,” Miller says. “Nose breathing is proper breathing. It allows you to smell some of life’s beautiful scents, but also acts as a detector when air is unhealthy. “Breathing through the nose also promotes a more meditative state, helping you stay calmer by reducing anxiety while improving your ability to think clearly. All in all, it’s important to remember that noses are for breathing, mouths are for eating.”
Medicare and Foreign Travel By Greg Dill Planning to travel abroad this summer? Before you go, keep in mind that Medicare usually does not cover health care services or supplies while you’re traveling outside the United States. That doesn’t mean you have to travel abroad without health coverage. Here are 3 ways you can get health coverage outside the U.S.: 1. If you have a Medicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap) policy, check your policy to see if
it includes coverage when traveling outside the U.S. 2.
If you have Medicare
(continued in next 2 columns)
In some cases, Medicare may cover medically necessary health care services you get on board a ship within the territorial waters adjoining land areas of the U.S. Medicare won't pay for health care services you get when a ship is more than 6 hours away from a U.S. port. Medicare also may pay for inpatient hospital, doctor, ambulance services, or dialysis you get in a foreign country in these rare cases: You're in the U.S. when a medical emergency occurs, and the foreign hospital is closer than the nearest U.S. hospital that can treat your medical condition. You're traveling through Canada without unreasonable delay by the most direct route between Alaska and another state when a medical emergency occurs, and the Canadian hospital is closer than the nearest U.S. hospital that can treat the emergency. You live in the U.S. and the foreign hospital is closer to your home than the nearest U.S. hospital that can treat your medical condition, regardless of whether an emergency exists. Medicare drug plans (Part D) don't cover prescription drugs you buy outside the U.S. If you get sick or injured while abroad, in most cases you’ll pay 100% of the costs. In the situations described above, you pay 20% of the Medicareapproved amount, and the Part B deductible applies. In the situations above, Medicare pays only for services covered under Original Medicare: Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance) covers hospital care
(care you get when you've been formally admitted with a doctor's order to the foreign hospital as an inpatient). Part B covers emergency and non-emergency ambulance and doctor services you get immediately before and during your covered foreign inpatient hospital stay. Medicare generally won't pay for services (like return ambulance trips home) in either of these cases: Medicare didn't cover your hospital stay. You got ambulance and doctor services outside the hospital after your covered hospital stay ended. You pay the part of the charge you would normally pay for covered services. This includes any medically necessary doctor and ambulance services you get in a foreign country as part of a covered inpatient hospital stay. You also pay the coinsurance , copayments, and deductibles you'd normally pay if you got these same services or supplies inside the U.S. The 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and American Samoa are considered part of the United States. Foreign hospitals aren’t required to file Medicare claims for your medical costs. You need to submit an itemized bill to Medicare for your doctor, inpatient, and ambulance services if both of these apply: You're admitted to a foreign hospital under one of the situations above. The foreign hospital doesn't submit Medicare claims for you. Safe travels! Greg Dill is Medicare’s regional administrator for Arizona, California, Nevada, Hawaii, and the Pacific Territories.

Why Do Fewer Blacks Survive Childhood Cancers? By The Milwaukee Times Weekly
The relationship between race and the outcome for a number of cancers among whites, Hispanics and blacks in the United States have certainly started to become more evident and clearer. A new study finds, poverty is a major reason why black and Hispanic children with some types of cancer have lower survival rates than white patients. Researchers examined U.S. government data on nearly 32,000 black, Hispanic and white children who were diagnosed with cancer between 2000 and 2011. For several cancers, whites were much more likely to survive than blacks and Hispanics. Rebecca Kehm and her University of Minnesota colleagues wondered whether those differences were due to socioeconomic status – that is, one’s position based on income, education and occupation. Their conclusion: It had a significant effect on the link between race/ethnicity and survival for acute myeloid leukemia as well as acute lymphoblastic leukemia, neuroblastoma and nonHodgkin’s lymphoma. For blacks compared to whites, socioeconomic status reduced the link between race/ethnicity and survival by 44 percent and 28 percent for the two leukemias; by 49 percent for neuroblastoma; and by 34 percent for nonHodgkin’s lymphoma. For Hispanics compared to
whites, the reductions were 31 percent and 73 percent for the two leukemias; 48 percent for neuroblastoma; and 28 percent for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Socioeconomic status was not a major factor in survival disparities for other types of childhood cancer, including central nervous system tumors, soft tissue sarcomas, Hodgkin’s lymphoma, Wilms tumor and germ cell tumors, the researchers said. “These findings provide insight for future intervention efforts aimed at closing the survival gap,” Kehm said in a journal news release. “For cancers in which socioeconomic status is a key factor in explaining racial and ethnic survival disparities, behavioral and supportive interventions that address social and economic barriers to effective care are warranted,” she said. “However, for cancers in which survival is less influenced by socioeconomic status, more research is needed on underlying differences in tumor biology and drug processing,” Kehm added.

‘Mindful Beauty’ health program to launch in salons By Sarah Jones-Smith be very positive and that Mindful Beauty can be replicated across the country,” Davis said. Charles Drew University’s resources will be used to capture and measure the program’s outcomes. “As a hairstylist for over 20 years, I have often found that I am one of the few people outside of a close friend, family member, intimate partner or physician that has knowledge of the issues that women who sit in my chair face on a daily basis,” said Maisha Oliver, celebrity hairstylist and program champion.
LOS ANGELES — Kaiser Permanente has teamed with Charles Drew University to launch a new mental health program called Mindful Beauty. Depression impacts the lives of more than 12 million women in America annually, according to Mental Health America. AfricanAmerican women, as stated by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, are at the highest risk for experiencing major depression. Attending bi-weekly salon appointments, one could argue that women are visiting the hair salon more often than a therapist. Despite the commonality of depression and anxiety, stigmas surrounding mental health within the black community often deter women from seeking help. According to the executive director of the Black Beauty Shop Health Foundation, Margot LaDrew, the beauty salon is the one place that black women literally let their hair down and discuss their greatest struggles. In agreement with LaDrew’s sentiments, Kaiser Permanente
prompted her health care organization with a two-year, $80,000 grant to launch the Mindful Beauty program. “Mindful Beauty is an innovative mental health program that allows us to smartly and safely start the process of reducing the stigma behind mental health,” LaDrew said. The five-week program will leverage the special hairstylist-client bond to provide the health outreach and education required to aid in reducing depression. Janae Oliver, the founder of the Mindful Beauty Initiative and community health manager for Kaiser Permanente, said, “This program is about starting a real conversation through interventions that get women well before they reach the doors of our health care system.” The program is a collaboration among South Los Angeles medical school Charles Drew University, Black Beauty Shop Health Foundation and the California Black Women’s Health Project.
Oliver thought of the program when she was a student at Charles R. Drew University. Growing up in South Los Angeles, her sister was a hairstylist. She shared client stories with Oliver and expressed that she was, “like a therapist.” With her sister’s stories in mind and after doing research, Oliver noticed that black women typically were not represented in data about mental health. She also noticed that many people within the black community do not trust that they can visit a mental health specialist without being seen as “crazy” because of stigmas surrounding mental health issues in the black community. Oliver and a group of classmates decided to make that the focus of their class project and Mindful Beauty was born. Cynthia Davis, assistant professor at Charles Drew University College of Science and Health, is looking forward to launching the program, as she feels it is long overdue. “Our hope is that the results will
Oliver believes that Mindful Beauty is likely to have a positive impact on African-American women. At the end of the program, stylists in South Los Angeles beauty salons will receive certificates and will have the opportunity to their knowledge to assist black women in the community. The program will be geared toward women 18 and over. Maisha Oliver and others will participate in training led by the California Black Women’s Health Project. Other stylists are still going through a recruitment process and, if picked, will participate in a seven-module training. Through this training, they will learn to recognize signs of depression as well as cultural factors that should be taken into consideration. Each case will be confidential and client referrals will take place through community clinics such as UMMA Community Clinic and ROADS Community Care Clinic. The Mindful Beauty program is expected to launch this summer. This article originally appeared in the Wave Newspapers.

The world got an idea recently from 92-year-old Buddhist monk and peace activist Thich Nhat Hanh, who popularized mindfulness and meditation in the U.S. The monk returned to his home in Vietnam to pass his remaining years. Many admired his desire to live his remaining time in peace and dignity. Researchers from the University of California-San Diego recently did a literature search to understand what Americans might consider to be a “good death” or “successful dying.” As can be expected, their findings varied. People’s views were determined by their religious, social and cultural norms and influences. The researchers urged healthcare providers, caregivers and the lay community to have open dialogues about preferences for the dying process. As scholars who study social health and human services psychology, we found something missing in these conversations — how race impacts life span. It’s important to recognize that not everyone has an equal chance at “dying well.” Black population and ill health Take the disease burden of the African American population. African Americans experience an earlier onset and greater risk of what may be referred to as lifestyle-related diseases — cardiovascular disease, stroke and diabetes. More than 40 percent of African Americans over the age of 20 are diagnosed with high blood pressure, compared to 32 percent of all Americans. In addition, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that the likelihood of experiencing a first stroke is nearly twice as high for African Americans compared with Whites. African Americans are more than two times more likely to experience a stroke before the age of 55. At age 45, the mortality rate from stroke is three times higher for Blacks compared to Whites. This disease burden consequently leads to their higher mortality rates and overall shorter life expectancy for Blacks compared to Whites. And while the life expectancy gap differs by only a few years, 75.3 for Blacks and 78.9 for Whites as of 2016, research suggests that African Americans suffer more sickness. This is due in part to the increased prevalence of high blood pressure, obesity and diabetes in this population. Genetics, biological factors and lifestyle behaviors, such as diet and smoking, help explain a portion of these differences. However, researchers are still learning how race-related social experiences and physical environments affect health, illness and mortality. Access to health care One factor is that African Americans have historically underutilized preventive medicine and healthcare services. They also delay seeking routine, necessary health care — or may not follow medical advice. One study found that during an average month, 35 percent fewer Blacks visited a physician’s office, and 27 percent fewer visited an outpatient clinic compared with Whites. “The only time I go to the doctor is when something is really hurting. But otherwise, I don’t even know my doctor’s name,” said a young African American male during a research study in Chicago. There are reasons for this mistrust. Researchers who study medical mistrust argue that high-profile cases of medical experiments are still playing a role in how African Americans view healthcare systems and providers. In the past, physicians have intentionally done harm against people of color. A well-known case is the “Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis” in African American men, which lasted from 1932 to 1972. In this clinical study, 399 African American men who had already contracted syphilis were told that they were receiving free health care from the government. In fact, doctors, knowing their critical condition, were awaiting their deaths to subsequently conduct autopsies and study the disease’s progression. Even though penicillin had been proven to treat syphilis by 1947, these men were denied the treatment. Why discrimination matters for health Other studies suggest that regardless of their knowledge of past medical abuse, many African Americans have low levels of trust in medical establishments. “Doctors, like all other people, are subject to prejudice and discrimination,” writes Damon Tweedy, author of Black Man in a White Coat: A Doctor’s Reflections on Race and Medicine. “While bias can be a problem in any profession, in medicine, the stakes are much higher.” Unfortunately, these fears are underscored by empirical evidence that African Americans are less likely to receive pain medication management, higher quality care, or survive surgical procedures. In addition, a growing body of literature has established that experiences of discrimination are extremely harmful to physical and mental health, particularly among African Americans. This research adds to the body of evidence that experiences of discrimination harm people’s health and may contribute to the increased rates of premature decline and death among Blacks. What does it take to SOTdie well? As African American scholars, we argue the “art of dying well” may be a distant and romantic notion for the African American community. African Americans are also exposed to earlier and more frequent deaths of close loved ones, immediate family members and friends. Their increased “vulnerability to untimely deaths,” writes Duke University scholar Karla Holloway, shows African Americans’ lack of access to equitable and fair paths in life. Before defining “a good death,” American society must first begin to fundamentally address how to promote quality living and longevity across all racial groups.

Philadelphia Fires 13 Officers for Racist Facebook Posts...continued from page 3 serve us all,” Rabb said. Further, Rabb said he agreed with sending the message that such behavior will not be tolerated in any police department. “But it’s not enough if those police officers are able to find employment in another community that’s unsuspecting of their past behavior,” said Rabb, who has introduced legislation that would ensure that officers like those being terminated cannot simply be moved to another department without leadership and the community being aware of their past behavior. He said his bill would prevent a department from hiring a police officer who separated from their last job after a pattern of allegations, complaints or charges for inappropriate behavior. It would also ensure that the hiring departments are fully informed about whom they are hiring. “This legislation would empower police chiefs and municipalities to make fully informed decisions about the
officers who serve their communities,” Rabb said. “Accountability and transparency, which this legislation would promote, are assets in agencies and departments that strive for integrity.” Philadelphia Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #5 President John McNesby said the organization was “disappointed” in the decision to fire the officers in part because they were deprived of due process. “The overwhelming majority of our members serve this city with integrity and professionalism,” McNesby said. None of the terminated officers were named, but Philadelphia authorities confirmed that the highest-ranking officer fired is a sergeant. “We have a duty to represent ourselves and our city,” Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney said. “We will not allow this incident to break down the progress we have made and we pledge to do better,” Kenney said.

Empire Star Taraji Henson Speaks on Suicide and Mental Health on Capitol Hill By Lauren Victoria Burke, NNPA Newswire Contributor
Award-winning actress and Empire star Taraji P. Henson testified before members of Congress on mental health issues in the African American community. (Photo: YouTube) “I am here using my celebrity, using my voice, to put a face to this, because I also suffer from depression and anxiety. If you’re a human living in today’s world, I don’t know how you’re not suffering in any way.” Award-winning actress and ‘Empire’ star Taraji P. Henson testified before members of Congress on mental health issues in the African American community. The Congressional Black
Caucus launched a task force on mental health issues in April of this year. They have held hearings on mental health and the increasing number of suicides among black youth. The CBC Emergency Taskforce on Black Youth Suicide and Mental Health is chaired by Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ). The members of the task force are Reps. Alma Adams (D-NC), Emanuel Cleaver II (D-MO),
Danny Davis (D-IL), Alcee Hastings (D-FL), Jahana Hayes (D-CT), Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-TX), Barbara Lee (D-CA), John Lewis (D-GA), Ilhan Omar (DMN), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) and Frederica Wilson (D-FL). “I’m here to appeal to you because this is a national crisis,” Henson said. Henson founded The Boris Lawrence Henson Foundation in 2018 to eradicate the stigma surrounding mental
illness in the African American community with a specific emphasis on the suicide rate among Black youth. “I really don’t know how to fix this problem, I just know that the suicide rate is rising,” she said. “I just know that ages of the children that are committing suicide are getting younger and younger,” the actress added. “It breaks my heart to know that 5-year-old children are contemplating life and death, I just…I’m sorry. That one is tough for me. So, I’m here to appeal to you, because this is a national crisis. When I hear of kids going into bathrooms, cutting themselves, you’re supposed to feel safe in school,” Henson told the members of Congress and those in the audience in a hearing room on Capitol Hill in Washington. Every year, 1 in 5 adults in the U.S. experience a mental illness, but a National Alliance on Mental Illness study discovered that black adults utilize mental health services at half the rate of white adults.

to make the glories of the king know. Knowing our identity is in Christ is one thing, but understanding how that practically changes the way we live is another. I cannot urge you enough to learn the verses about your identity in Christ. You are called to be different. While every believer has been set apart for good works [Ephesians 2:10], there are some people who have been set apart to do unique and even extraordinary things in their walk with God and service to God. He has set you apart for a reason. You know, Israel desperately tried to fit in with the nations around them. They wanted to be like everyone else. But God refused to allow this. He set Israel apart to be a holy nation.
God set Israel apart to intentionally distinguish them from everyone else. God did not do this to punish the Israelites or deprive them. He specifically chose them for good. Being set apart not only was a privilege but also carried with it amazing blessings, far more than they could ever imagine. What is awesome in all of this is that this declaration is made, not by us, but by God. He has consecrated us and set us apart for a higher purpose. Renewing our mind to this truth is of the utmost importance. We must know and understand who we are in Christ and who He is in us so that we can walk in the purpose to which we have been called and set apart. You have been set apart for God’s purposes. Embrace it!

Dreaming in the time of viceroys
I have always been caught up by the beauty and clarity of the speech “I Have a Dream” by Martin Luther King, Jr. In his dream, Dr. King referred to his aspiration of seeing all people united, living in harmony beyond race and color. That dream is still pending as an aspiration rather than an accomplishment in a society still torn by its structural sins.

Embrace it, and stop trying to get on board with everybody else. You can’t do what everybody else do! You can’t go where everybody else is gingo! God is trying to lead you; He has a plan for your life. Loosen your grip, and surrender to your own ways. God has His hand on you for a specific purpose. What an amazing privilege to have God’s hand write your name in ‘the Book of Life’ belonging to Jesus [Revelation 13:8]. Stop trying to get on board with everybody else, and embrace the fact that God has you on a different path; for you have been set apart for God’s purposes. “Come out from among them and be ye separate,” says the Lord. [2 Corinthians 6:17].
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” [Jeremiah 29:11]. Even though you may feel as if you have been put on a shelf and forgotten, you have been set apart for the call of God on your life. Embrace it! For many are called, but few are chosen. [Matthew 22:14] You are chosen by God; you are pitied by God; and the effect of that pity—that mercy— is that God takes you to be his own possession. You exist for this reason: “that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.”This is the full-time destiny of a royal priest – (continued in next 2 columns)
In my experience working in the Latin American and Caribbean region, I see, hear, and experience some other pending aspirations, mostly expressed as dreams too. Allow me to share a story from the Mexican southeast: Antonio dreams that the land he works belongs to him. He dreams that his sweat is paid with justice and truth. He dreams that there is a school to cure ignorance and medicine to scare death. He dreams that his house lights up and his table fills up. He dreams that their land is free and that it is the reason for their people to govern and govern themselves; they dream that they are at peace with themselves and with the world.He dreams that he must fight to have that dream; he dreams that there must be death for there to be life. Antonio dreams and wakes up... The viceroy dreams that his land is shaken by a terrible wind that raises everything, dreams that what he stole is taken away. He dreams that his house is destroyed and that the kingdom he ruled collapses. He dreams but
does not sleep. The viceroy goes to the feudal lords, and they tell him that they dream the same thing. Everyone dreams in this country. It's time to wake up...[1] We are living in the time of viceroys. They do not rest until they build the walls, prisons, and barracks they need to preserve their way of life. They take away the land, poison the rivers and pollute the air. However, the viceroys fear the wind that rises into the air revolves everything. It is the wind of the Spirit, inspiring our nations to embrace a new world, but based on eternal values. Our First Nations have their values very well defined. They dream about the reproduction of the fullness of life—much like Jesus told us in John 10:10)—including the tenure of land, education for children, health, and communion with the environment. Houses lit up and tables filled up in sovereignty and peace. Let the path of our dreams be like the one that defined the resurrection of Christ. He resurrected so we all could have eternal life, but also abundant life. Life that is worth living. Life to be lived like the one our ancestors dreamt about. As Antonio said in his reflection, let´s wake up and make it a reality too. [1]Chiapas: The Southeast In Two Winds A Storm And A Prophecy ... (n.d.). Retrieved from Chiapas: The Southeast.

Schumer: “Any Unnecessary Delays to Honor Harriet Tubman, Especially for Political Reasons, Are Improper and Unacceptable” BlackPressUSA
Washington, DC – Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer sent a new letter to the U.S. Department of Treasury Inspector General formally requesting an investigation into the Trump Administration’s decision to delay release of the redesign of the twenty-dollar bill. More than three years ago, under President Obama, the Treasury Department announced the redesign of the $20 note featuring Harriet Tubman’s portrait would be released in 2020, but the Trump administration recently announced that the redesign would be delayed until 2028. Leader Schumer is demanding answers to the official explanation by the Trump Administration about why the bill’s release has been delayed. In the letter, Leader Schumer specifically requests that the Treasury Inspector General examine whether political considerations played a role in the decision to delay the release and why the Treasury Secretary suggested that it would take a decade or more to produce a new $20 bill. The request seeks a review of the involvement of the interagency process related to the redesign—including the Secret Service, Federal Reserve, and the White House – to ensure that political considerations did not taint the process to recognize Harriet Tubman’s heroic legacy. Leader Schumer’s letter also comes after he successfully secured the establishment the Harriet Tubman National Historic Park in Tubman’s hometown, Auburn, NY– which was formally established in January 2017. Schumer fought for years to make
Tubman Park a reality. He authored, introduced, and passed legislation authorizing the park and lobbied federal officials to secure the establishment of the park. Full text of Leader Schumer’s letter is below and a PDF is here. The Honorable Eric M. Thorson Inspector General U.S. Department of Treasury 1500 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20220 Dear Inspector Thorson:
General
I write to request that your office investigate the circumstances surrounding the Department of Treasury’s decision to delay redesign of the $20 note featuring the portrait of Harriet Tubman, including any involvement by the White House in this decision. More than three years ago, Secretary Jacob Lew announced that he had ordered the acceleration of redesigns of the $20, $10 and $5 notes, and that the “final concept design” of the $20 note, including Harriet
Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law Responds to FBI’s Abandonment of “Black Identity Extremism” Designation Government News Washington, D.C.—Today, the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law issued the following statement in response to the FBI’s abandonment of its “Black Identity Extremism” designation. In testimony from FBI Director Christopher Wray during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, Director Wray indicated that the “BIE” designation had been eliminated. Wray also indicated that the Bureau is now focused on “racially motivated violent extremism.” Kristen Clarke, president and executive director of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law issued the following statement in response: “The abandonment of the FBI’s “Black Identity Extremism” category is a win for civil rights lawyers and advocates who have fought to expose the agency’s
manufactured, false threat category. The “Black Identity Extremism” harkened back to the darkest days of the Civil Rights Movement, when the agency abused its power and resources to silence the work of African American activists. Despite this, we must remain vigilant as the Bureau carries out its intelligence activities in this era. It is critical that the Bureau continue to track the very real threat of white supremacist violence, and call it out by its name. Clarke continued, “while we are pleased at the elimination of the “Black Identity Extremism” category, we remain concerned that the new categorization of ”racially-motivated violent extremism” inappropriately dilutes the very real threat of white supremacist violence that we face across the country today.”
IN MEMORIAM: Sterling Tucker, Civil Rights Leader and Activist Politician, Dies at 95 By Lauren Victoria Burke, NNPA Newswire Contributor
Prominent American civil rights activist and Washington, D.C. politician Sterling Tucker passed away on July 14, in Washington, D.C. Tucker was the first chair of the District of Columbia City Council and ran
for mayor in 1978. He was defeated by Marion Barry by 1,500 votes. Tucker was an active part of the Poor People’s Campaign and (continued in last 2 columns)
Tubman’s portrait, would be released in 2020. Shortly after the Trump Administration took office, however, all mentions of the Tubman $20 bill were deleted without explanation from the Treasury Department’s website. Then we learned, according to recent testimony by Secretary Steven Mnuchin that a decision had been made to delay the release of the new $20 note until the year 2028. The Treasury Department subsequently refused to confirm that Harriet Tubman’s image would ever appear on the new note – notwithstanding recent reports that the Bureau of Engraving and Printing has already completed extensive planning work on the redesign effort. We do not know the real reason for these decisions, but we do know that during his campaign, President Trump referred to efforts to replace President Jackson’s likeness on the front of the $20 note as “pure political correctness.” Secretary Mnuchin attempted to explain the delay as necessary to accommodate anticounterfeiting measures, but it is
simply not credible that with all the resources and expertise of the U.S. Treasury and Secret Service, a decade or more could be required to produce a new $20 bill. If the Empire State Building could be completed in 13 months almost 100 years ago, the 21st century Treasury Department ought to be able to get this job done in a reasonable period of time. Harriet Tubman was an extraordinary American and New Yorker whose story deserves to be shared with current and future generations. She deserves to be honored for her bravery, compassion, and service to the United States. There is no reason to reverse the original decision to recognize her heroic legacy on the $20 note. Any unnecessary delays, especially for political reasons, in redesigning the $20 note in her honor are improper and unacceptable. For these reasons, I ask that you conduct an investigation into decisions made at the Treasury since January of 2018 regarding the delay of the redesign of the $20 note. I also ask that you review the involvement of other participants in the interagency process related to the redesign – including the Secret Service, Federal Reserve, and the White House – to ensure that political considerations have not been allowed to infect the process for designing American currency. Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
IN MEMORIAM: Sterling Tucker, Civil Rights Leader and Activist Politician, Dies at 95...continued organized Solidarity Day, a 50,000 member protest in Washington D.C. on June 19, 1969. The Poor People’s Campaign was started by Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), in 1968. It would be continued under the direction of the Rev. Ralph Abernathy, Dr. King’s chief lieutenant, after King was assassinated on April 4, 1968. The Poor People’s Campaign was focused on economic justice for poor people in America. Today that work is continued by Rev. William Barber II. Sterling Tucker worked alongside Reverend Abernathy and Coretta Scott King in what was the first formal activist effort to bring economic justice for African Americans. Tucker served on the first District of Columbia City Council from 1969 to 1974, as home rule was established and served one term. He was also chairman of the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority. During the early 80s he began a consulting firm called Sterling Tucker and Associates and in 1990 was chairman of the American Diabetes Association. “He was fundamental to the leadership of the city,” former
city council chairman Arrington Dixon told the Washington City Paper about Tucker. Dixon remembered Tucker as mild mannered but impactful. In 1979, President Jimmy Carter nominated Tucker to be Assistant Secretary for the Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity at the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. Sterling Tucker is survived by his two daughters, Michele Jeffery and Lauren Tucker; four grandchildren and many friends and colleagues. His body laid in repose in the John A. Wilson Building, where the D.C. City Council meets in Washington and funeral services took place at the McQuire Funeral Home on Georgia Avenue NW. The Tucker family asked that donations be made in his name to the American Diabetes Association, P.O. Box 15829, Arlington VA 22215 and Trinity Episcopal Church Outreach Ministry to the Homeless, 7005 Piney Branch Road N.W., Washington DC 20012.

Driving While Black: Police Continue to Profile, Stop and Search African American Drivers By Stacy M. Brown, NNPA Newswire Correspondent @StacyBrownMedia Two new recently published reports show that racial profiling – particularly “Driving While Black” – remains a crisis in America. A recent report issued by Missouri’s attorney general Eric Schmitt revealed that black drivers across that state are 91 percent more likely than white motorists to get pulled over by police. What’s more, the profiling usually takes place in the motorists’ own community, according to the attorney general’s report. The Missouri report arrives on the heels of one out of Kentucky where a study found that black motorists are searched at a rate of three-times more than whites in Louisville. African Americans account for approximately 20 percent of Louisville’s driving age population, but they still accounted for 33 percent of police stops and 57 percent of the nearly 9,000 searches conducted on motorists, according to the Louisville Courier Journal, which conducted the study. Their findings were highlighted in a tweet by The Thurgood Marshall Project, a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that seeks to create and sustain a sense of national urgency about the U.S. criminal justice system. The Louisville Courier Journal said it reviewed “130,999 traffic stops in Louisville from 2016 to 2018 and found that an overwhelming number of African American drivers were profiled and pulled over by police.” The newspaper also found that black motorists were searched 12 percent of the time they were stopped, while white motorists were searched just 3.9 percent of the time. “Aside from the alarming and devastating findings, we have always known that racial profiling is all too prevalent throughout law enforcement and our society as a

Racial profiling is an insidious practice and serious problem in America that can lead to deadly consequences, Johnson added. “Our faith in our criminal justice system will continuously be challenged if we are constantly targeted by discriminatory practices just by doing simple tasks – walking down the street, driving down an interstate, or going through an airport without being stopped merely because of the color of our skin. Living as a person of color should never be crime,” he said. American Civil Liberties Union Attorney Carl Takei told NNPA Newswire that racial disparities in the new data are similar to what courts have relied on around the country to find unconstitutional
racial profiling in traffic stops. “Disparities of this kind suggest that officers are using race not only in deciding who to pull over, but who to single out for searches,” Takei said. “What’s particularly damning about this data is that police were more likely to search Black people than white people yet found contraband in only 41 percent of searches of Black people compared to 72 percent of the searches of white people,” he said. Takei continued: “In other words, the police have a pattern of stopping and searching Black people in circumstances where they would simply let white people go. “This unjustly interferes with Black people trying to live their everyday lives – subjecting them to humiliating, intrusive stops and searches in circumstances where white people would not be stopped or searched. “Additionally, such racialized policing practices harm law enforcement by undermining the
legitimacy of the police and damaging police relationships with the communities they are supposed to be serving.” The Louisville Courier Journal reported that Police Chief Steve Conrad spoke before the Metro Council Public Safety Committee and acknowledged that the department has disproportionately stopped black drivers. The newspaper reported that Conrad reasoned that African Americans are disproportionately represented in all aspects of the criminal justice system, including in arrests and incarceration. “This is not all surprising based on my over 35 years of practice defending drug cases after traffic stops,” Randall Levine, a Kalamazoo, Michigan attorney told NNPA Newswire. “I would say that DWB – Driving While Black – is still as prevalent today as it was in 1980,” Levine said, before opining what could occur to affect change. “Diversity, sensitivity training and some type of real enforcement for violations might help,” he said.
