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 with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance those of whom they suppress. —Fredrick Douglass (1849)
IN MEMORIAM: Chadwick Boseman
NNPA NEWSWIRE — Boseman was no stranger to playing iconic characters, bursting onto the big screen in 2013’s 42 as baseball legend Jackie Robinson, who broke the color barrier in major league baseball. Boseman went on to star as Soul legend James Brown in 2014’s Get On Up and Thurgood Marshall in Marshall in 2017. Boseman brought a quiet dignity and powerful presence to these characters, with performances reflective of the weight they hold in world culture.

In addition to acting and producing, Boseman was also an activist and philanthropist supporting social justice initiatives like Michelle Obama’s #WhenWeAllVote and celebrating fellow Bison Kamala Harris’ history making selection as the Democratic Vice-Presidential nominee for the 2020 U.S. Presidential election, which was his last Twitter post before his death.

Boseman died at home surrounded by his family. A statement released by his family said Boseman was diagnosed with stage three colon cancer in 2016 and the disease progressed to stage 4. Boseman endured countless surgeries and treatments as he continued to make films from Marshall (directed by Reginald Hudlin), Da 5 Bloods (directed by Spike Lee) and August Wilson’s Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom (directed by George C. Wolfe and produced by Denzel Washington). Washington and Boseman were first introduced when Washington paid for Boseman and several other Howard University students to continue their theater studies by taking a theater course in Oxford. The Howard Universityeducated thespian was the star of Marvel’s Black Panther franchise, bringing to life one of the most important and revered superheroes in American film history. Directed by Ryan Coogler,
Black Panther was the first superhero movie to be nominated for a best picture Oscar and one of the highest-grossing films of all time, bringing in over $1billion. Black Panther became more than a movie, morphing into a celebration of Black culture, art, history, achievement and intellect in addition to highlighting the Black cultural presence and influence in comic book culture. Boseman was no stranger to playing iconic characters, bursting onto the big screen in 2013’s 42 as baseball legend Jackie Robinson, who broke the color barrier in major league baseball. Boseman went on to star as Soul legend James Brown in 2014’s Get On Up and Thurgood Marshall in Marshall in 2017. Boseman brought a quiet dignity and powerful presence to these characters, with performances reflective of the weight they hold in world culture. Prior to breaking into film, Boseman lived in New York, teaching at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture while cutting his teeth on small roles on shows like Law & Order, Third Watch, ER and Lie to Me,
eventually landing recurring roles on Lincoln Heights and Persons Unknown. It was Boseman’s turn as Jackie Robinson that cemented his film star status and his performance as T’Challa in Marvel’s Black Panther, that catapulted him to superstardom. Black Panther grew beyond the big screen and became a cultural phenomenon. Boseman, who hails from Anderson South Carolina, gave moviegoers a king who was stoic, powerful and captivating as he led warriors with love, intellect and strategy as they fought to maintain control of their powerful, technologically superior nation, ripe for poaching by outsiders. Much like the Gullah culture of his home state, Boseman was able to effortlessly blend African and American culture to help create a fantastical world on screen that was inspirational and recognizable. Boseman led an all-star cast including Angela Bassett, Michael B. Jordan, Danai Gurira, Daniel Kaluuya, Letitia Wright, Sterling Brown, Winston Duke and Academy awardwinning actors Lupita Nyong’o and Forrest Whitaker, holding his
own and fortifying his status as a Hollywood superstar. Boseman, who also appeared as T’Challa/Black Panther in Avengers Infinity War and Avengers: End Game, starred in and produced the films 21 Bridges, Marshall and Message from the King, which he served as Executive Producer. At the time of his death, Boseman was in preproduction as producer on Yasuke, a film about the world’s first Black Samurai in which Boseman was slated to star. In addition to acting and producing, Boseman was also an activist and philanthropist suppor ting social justice initiatives like Michelle Obama’s #WhenWeAllVote and celebrating fellow Bison Kamala Harris’ history making selection as the Democratic Vice-Presidential nominee for the 2020 U.S. Presidential election, which was his last Twitter post before his death. In 2018, the wonderkind performer delivered a powerful commencement speech at Howard University encouraging students to rise above traumatic experiences and applauding their campus activism. Boseman, who was mentored by fellow Howard University alum Phylicia Rashad and helped financially by Denzel Washington as a student donated $100,000 to #Change4Change, which supports HBCUs in November 2019. The private public figure spent time visiting children suffering from cancer at St. Jude’s Research Center. In April 2020, the actor donated $4.2 million worth of PPE equipment to hospitals serving Black communities during the COVID-19 pandemic. The youngest of four, Boseman is survived by his parents Leroy and Carolyn Boseman, siblings Kevin, Dionne and Derrick and wife Taylor Simone Ledward. Boseman was 43.
School Students Sanitize Your Hands To Help Fight The Virus
California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed Senate Bill 793 into law on Aug. 28. The legislation is one of the country’s strongest restrictions on flavored tobacco. The bill makes it a crime for any retailer or individual to sell a flavored tobacco product or any tobacco product flavor enhancer in the state. Violation will be punishable by a fine of $250 for each infraction. The law goes into effect Jan. 1, 2021. “I have been expressive in terms of my absolute condemnation of this tobacco industry that continues to find ways to target our youth,” Newsom said before signing the bill. “And it will be a point of deep pride and personal privilege — as a father of four and as someone who’s had many, many family members die at the hands of the tobacco industry — to sign that bill. I can’t be more explicit. I can’t wait until it becomes law in the state of California.” SB 793 breaks “Big Tobacco’s death grip,” on longtime users hooked on nicotine, said Sen. Jerry Hill (D-San Mateo), who is the author of the bill. He said that the addition of fruit and other alluring flavors to the products are tactics tobacco manufacturers are using to entice a new generation of smokers — the youth. “The action by Gov. Newsom and by the California Legislature this week is a huge win for our kids and the health of our communities,” Hill said in a written statement. “SB 793 will save lives.” According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over 7 out of 10 African American youth between ages 12 and 17 who smoke prefer menthol cigarettes. In addition, African American adults have the highest percentage of menthol cigarette use compared to other racial and ethnic groups, the CDC says. Assemblywoman Shirley Weber (D-San Diego), chair of the California Legislative
Black Caucus (CLBC), agrees with proponents of the bill and condemns notions that mentholflavored cigarettes are strictly associated with the Black community. “I too rise in support of SB 793. I am insulted that the tobacco industry would make an effort to have us believe that mentholated cigarettes are a part of Black culture,” she said. “Someone wants to save us and our children and finally focus on African Americans.” Some i ndividuals and organizations opposed to the bill say they are concerned about the bill’s narrow focus. While menthol cigarettes are included in the ban, shisha tobacco -- used in hookah water pipes, premium tobacco, and loose-leaf tobacco -- is exempted. The Law Enforcement Action Partnership (LEAP) and the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement (NOBLE) say the bill is discriminatory because merchants will continue to sell some other adult tobacco products that are not popular among African Americans and other minorities. In addition, other opponents of SB 793 say the new law could possibly start a new wave of illegal activities, such as the underground sales of the banned products out of “backpacks or the trunk of a car,” said representatives of Consumer Advocates for SmokeFree Alternative Association (CASAA). “While activists are claiming victory, California residents already know that the foundation of an informal nicotine market is already in place,” CASAA said in a written statement after Newsom signed the bill. “It is not beyond the realm of possibilities that young people, those whom this legislation is supposed to protect, will now have more access to products intended for people who smoke.”

Los Angeles California, August 29th, 2020 - American Descendants of Slavery (ADOS) California welcomes Senate passage of AB 3121 - Task Force To Study and Develop Reparations Proposals For African Americans. Senate passage of AB 3121 brings our great state of California one step closer to finally confronting its legacy of supporting the institution of Slavery, Jim Crow and ongoing racial exclusion. We thank Assemblywoman Dr. Shirley Weber for her leadership in spearheading the passage of AB 3121. Likewise, we thank Senator’s Steven Bradford and Holly Mitchell for their tireless efforts to ensure the Bill’s safe passage through the California Senate. We thank Governor Gavin Newsom for his support along the way. We must also thank the legislative and gubernatorial staff members for their unrelenting hard work. Indeed, we must especially thank the grassroots ADOS organizers, activists, and allies throughout the state of
California for their tenacious and energetic efforts to see this Bill through to its successful end. All of the organizing and community meetings, emails to legislators, position support letters, visits to the Capitol for hearings, and hundreds of calls to give testimony were not in vain. You are the groundswell that made this effort possible. And it is you, the organized masses, who ultimately will see to it that this Task Force carries out its duties to the fullest extent. We acknowledge and appreciate your sacrifice and your struggle. We are grateful for your continued presence. While we applaud this next step toward justice, we must acknowledge the strong desire to continue to improve AB 3121. The fight is not over. We look forward to the opportunity for follow-up in the upcoming legislative session where AB 3121 can be enhanced to ensure it meets this historic moment in our nation’s history. We believe AB 3121 must be enhanced to truly be effective in its mission. This can be accomplished by ensuring Black American Descendants of U.S. Slavery and Jim Crow are the sole and exclusive focus, that Task Force membership is expanded

Health officials report first case of MIS-C in child from western Riverside County Community News Riverside County health officials are reporting the first case of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), which is a rare medical complication from COVID-19. The child lives in western Riverside County and is younger than 15. Officials are also reporting a second probable case of a child from Coachella Valley. “While most children are only minimally sickened by COVID-19, they can get it just as easily as adults, and an unlucky few will have serious complications,” said Dr. Cameron Kaiser, Riverside County public health officer. “While this case is not known to be linked to any school, it’s a reminder we need to pay attention to COVID-19 in kids and its potential
long- and short-term effects.” MIS-C affects children under 21 years old who may have been exposed to COVID-19 or had COVID-19. Different body parts can become inflamed, including the heart, lungs, kidneys, brain, skin, eyes, or gastrointestinal organs and there can be lifelong health impacts. “This syndrome has been reported in a number of places over the past few months, and this shows that these symptoms can occur in Riverside County too,” said Riverside County Board Chair and Fourth District Supervisor V. Manuel Perez. “We need to remember that this pandemic is still among us. As we continue to learn more about the symptoms continued in next 2 columns

New Labor Movements Offers Interpretive Visions of America and Black Life by Contemporary Filmmakers Entertainment News
SAN FRANCISCO, CA, September 1, 2020 — Curated by Bay Area artist and educator Leila Weefur and presented in McEvoy Foundation for the Arts’ Screening Room, New Labor Movements is a collection of short films that explore contemporary visions of America and concepts of transnational Blackness. Through a compositional discourse played out in four hour-long “movements” featuring fifteen films by seventeen artists, the program navigates the philosophical, psychological, and emotional landscapes that manifest in the lives of slavery’s descendants and those living in the aftermath of slavery’s indirect, proximal effects. The program was commissioned on the occasion of the West Coast premiere of Isaac Julien’s Lessons of the Hour at McEvoy Arts (October 14, 2020 – March 13, 2021). Movements I and II open at McEvoy Arts on October 14. Movements III and IV premiere in 2021. Weefur organized New Labor Movements to consider the question of “What is America today?” as inspired by Lessons of the Hour, Julien’s

Harold; courtesy the artists; Trilobite-Arts DAC; Black Fire UVA; Picture Palace Pictures immersive film installation and photography exhibition on the life and impact of Frederick Douglass. The act ofmovement is a structurally fluid principle that shapes the program in multiple coded ways, depending on the viewer. Chief among them are movements in film construction and narrative; in the distribution of labor and power; in reference to the trans-Atlantic movements of goods, capital, and people;
and as it references the one’s movement through a gallery or in a theater. Weefur’s curation of these films prioritizes displays of movement as more of an experiential truth rather than a reactive condition. Just as we are living through an unpredictable emotional landscape, the films gracefully shift pace, matching the current political unrest with a poetic volatility. Weefur states that “the
included filmmakers measure movement with distinct cinematic voices and varied cinematic instruments, from high contrast black and white celluloid and archival imagery to refined HD digital pictures. Evidenced in the selection of films are thoughtful articulations of movement that reveal the nuance of global political critique and a profound broadness of Black life across borders.” Taken
together with the multi-sensorial, meditative qualities of Lessons, the program engineers a gender diverse, intergenerational dialogue amongst filmmakers that explores the creation of cinematic narrative and Black political histor y. Movement I: Assembly presents five films that orient the viewer to linkages between the creation of Diasporic history and collective experience. Assembly
is introduced by the 16mm blackand-white shots of an African American gospel choir in Kevin Jerome Everson and Claudrena Harold’s elegiac Hampton (2019) and also includes works by Garrett Bradley, Christopher Harris, Onyeka Igwe, and Mitch McCabe. Across three films by Eden Tinto Collins and Adrien Gystere Peskine, Lonnie Holley and Cyrus Moussavi, and Morgan Quaintance, Movement II: Resistance/Selfhood identifies realizations of the self within societal narratives of struggle and triumph. The struggle is acutely seen in Holley and Moussavi’s I Snuck Off the Slave Ship (2019), which finds the self-taught African American artist and dimensional traveler attempting to sneak off the slave ship America in a metaphor for Black transcendence. Woven throughout the two movements are the visions of Black ancestors, elders, and children, coalescing into a visual guide to reconsider movements as acts of power, liberation, and achievement. Assembly and Resistance/ Selfhood screen daily in 2020. Movements III and IV, as well as additional programs in conjunction with New Labor Movements, are to be announced.

Bill to “Save Local Journalism” Awaiting Gov. Newsom’s Signature UCLA Voting Rights Project Authors State/Government News
Assemblywoman Blanca E. Rubio (D- Baldwin Park) With a 69-4 vote, the Senate passed Assembly Bill (AB) 323 Tuesday. It proposes granting ethnic media outlets, midsize publications, and daily newspapers an additional year to pursue alternative and sustainable distribution models that don’t involve contract drivers. That would allow them to come into compliance with the state’s controversial AB 5 labor law. AB 323, known as the “Save Local Journalism Act,” which is now awaiting the governor’s signature, would go into effect Jan. 1, 2023 if it is signed. Assemblywoman Blanca Rubio’s (D- Baldwin Park) is the author of the bill. “AB 323 provides a bridge for our local newspapers to continue informing readers and their communities. Today the bill passed with overwhelming support and will be heading to Governor Newsom,” Rubio said via her Twitter account Aug. 31. AB 323 will also require
state agencies to contract with community and ethnic news outlets to promote their public awareness campaigns in order to reach underserved communities throughout the state. AB 5 was enacted to enforce a 2018 California Supreme Court ruling commonly called the “Dynamex Law.” Originally, the legislation mostly focused on what some lawmakers regarded as “abuses” by large companies like Uber, Lyft and other rideshare and app-based delivery companies. They say those corporations rely on a workforce of contractors, but do not provide those workers any employment benefits and other labor protections mandated by California law. In the Assembly chamber before the floor vote, Assemblymember Lorena Gonzalez (D-San Diego), who authored AB 5 and voted “no” on AB 323, gave an impassioned testimony. “I cannot condone or support an unsustainable business
model that operates at the expense of low-wage workers,” Gonzalez told her colleagues. But critics say the intention of AB 5 was lost in its language and enforcement, charging that it cast too wide a net, and that it ended up hurting some contractors – including artists, dentists, writers, salespeople, musicians, translators, and others. Those are people who generally prefer the independence and flexibility of being freelancers or sole proprietors, they argue. Since AB 5 passed about a year ago, legislators have created several carve-outs to exempt some of the affected professional categories, allowing them to continue to work as independent contractors under the law. But many remain impacted. In October of 2019, Gov. Newsom signed AB 170, a law that gave newspapers in California a one-year extension (until the end of 2020) to reclassify the contract drivers who deliver their newspapers as W-2 employees -- or come up with a new way to distribute their newspapers to subscribers. AB 323 extends that sunset date that currently exempts newspaper carriers from the restrictions of AB 5 to the end of 2021. Until then, those publications will not have to meet the three-part criteria, commonly known as the “ABC” test, which the state uses to determine if workers are employees or independent contractors. By offering a buffer for carriers, AB 323 is also aimed
Employment Training Panel Focused on Providing Training Funds to Employers Working At-Risk During COVID-19 Pandemic State/Government News SACRAMENTO – The State of California’s Employment Training Panel (ETP) announced that it approved 24 contracts worth over $6 million in job training funds for 6,000 workers. Panel members awarded two contracts to Edwards Lifesciences, and the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles under its COVID Rapid Reemployment & Retraining Pilot program. Together, these businesses will receive $400,000 to hire 200 unemployed individuals. “ Une mploy me nt r at e s are currently higher than they were during the Great Recession due to the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Peter Cooper, E m p l o y m e n t Tr a i n i n g Panel Assistant Executive Director. “This pilot program is providing reemployment opportunities for individuals who have been out of work.” In May 2020, ETP established t h e C OV I D -19 R a pid Reemployment & Retraining Pilot program to support industries that are critical to the
health and welfare of Californians, and the reopening of the economy during the pandemic. This pilot is designed to rapidly support employers and workers that have been at risk, working through the stay-at-home orders, and now need to train newly hired staff. Edwards Lifescienes develops, manufactures, and markets medical devices and technologies used in the treatment of advanced cardiovascular disease and hemodynamic monitor i ng. Edwards is focusing on its supply chain, from design, to manufacturing, and distribution, in an effort to reduce cycle times, improve overall quality, and revolutionize new products in the marketplace. As Edwards has seen an increased demand for its products, it will hire 100 new workers to keep up with manufacturing needs. Trainees under this contract will get acclimated with COVID-19 employee safety skills to begin production and manufacturing line work much sooner after hire, while also assisting in
achieving higher quality. The Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles (HACLA) provides affordable housing in Los Angeles. Its mission is to preserve, enhance, expand affordable housing, and improve the quality of life, with focus on people, place, and pathways to opportunities. HACLA’s WorkSource Center onboards individuals to provide job training, and career pathways. Workplace Success, COVID-19 Safety, Communications Skills, and Time Management training will be delivered to 100 newly hired employees who will be offered jobs in essential industries that have been substantially impacted by the pandemic. By strategically expending its resources, the Employment Training Panel’s COVID Pilot funds will allow Californians to gain jobs through skilled training, which will in turn, drive a faster and more robust economic recovery For more information about the program, please visit www. etp.ca.gov, or call (916) 327-5578.
More Professionals Could Remain Contractors Under New AB 5 Exemptions Quinci LeGardye | California Black Media After months of protests and tough negotiations with representatives from various industries, California lawmakers have released an updated list of professions that could be exempted from AB 5, the controversial worker re-classification law that went into effect Jan 1. AB 2257, a new bill that revises some Labor Code sections affected by AB 5, will exempt artists, appraisers, insurance field representatives and youth sports
coaches, allowing them to work as independent contractors. This is in addition to previous exemptions made for musicians, writers, photographers, tutors, interpreters and other industries. AB 2257 is backed by Assemblymember Lorena Gonzalez (D-San Diego), who authored AB 5 and has been its primary advocate. “We have utilized the reasoning in Dynamex, existing case law, and all of the provisions of workers
comp and the [Unemployment Insurance] code developed over the last 40 years to try to create a framework for employment in California. We are confident that legitimate [independent contractors] will be able to work as such” said Gonzalez in a Aug. 27 tweet. Assemblymember Christy Smith (D-Santa Clarita), coauthor of AB 2257, said, “These clarifications to AB5 create continued on page 8
at strengthening and stabilizing California’s community news organizations while protecting their ability to provide all Californians with important information about news and events in their communities. “We are living through times of unprecedented unrest and change, and the need has never been greater for specialized outlets that facilitate improved civic engagement and better crosscultural communication,” said Regina Brown Wilson, Executive Director of California Black Media. “Assemblywoman Rubio’s leadership and the unwavering support of AB 323’s coauthors and supporters make it possible for our outlets to continue their mission to better inform our communities.” The bill encourages the Department of General Services (DGS) to be responsible for ensuring that state agencies include local news organizations in their advertising and public awareness campaigns. DGS is the business manager for California, providing procurement and business solutions for local and state agencies. “The First Amendment and our independent press are critical to the open exchange of diverse ideas and perspectives. My colleagues and I bring varied viewpoints to the Capitol, but as shown by the overwhelming bipartisan support for AB 323, we are united in our support for our local news outlets and the citizens they serve,” Rubio said in a written statement.
Letters Urging Numerous Counties To Address Lack Of Election Materials In Minority Languages
State/Government News
The letters were sent to Counties with especially large limitedEnglish-proficient minority language populations and ask that the jurisdictions provide election materials in the relevant languages. The UCLA Voting Rights Project (VRP) released a dozen letters today addressed to leadership in counties in several states, urging them to provide election materials to accommodate large minority Asian language groups. These counties were identified to have some of the largest limitedEnglish-proficient minority groups and were at or near the threshold for compliance under Section 203 of the Voting Rights Act. Nevertheless, these counties do not provide election materials like voter information pamphlets and absentee and regular ballots in the relevant minority languages. Section 203 mandates, among other things, that covered jurisdictions provide all election materials in minority languages that are prominent enough to trigger the statute’s protection. Specifically, Section 203 covers those jurisdictions where there are more than 10,000 or over 5 percent of the total citizen voting age population in a single political subdivision (usually a county) who are members of a
single language minority group, have depressed literacy rates, and do not speak English very well. For each jurisdiction, the corresponding letter identifies which minority Asian languages are most prominent and instructs the county on the language access measures to best enable these residents to cast their ballot. The letters also offer translation services for election materials to bolster compliance with the VRP’s requests. The letters are part of a larger initiative to secure minority language voting access nationwide, which began with a letter to Fort Bend County, Texas in July. “Access to the ballot is only meaningful if voters can easily understand its contents,” remarked Sonni Waknin, the UCLA Voting Rights Project’s Managing Legal Fellow. The UCLA Voting Rights Project is an effort led by the UCLA Latino Policy and Politics Initiative. The organization has published widely on other ballot access issues. This includes several reports on the implementation of universal voteby-mail for upcoming elections and a joint-report with the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA on the safety and efficacy of different voting practices during the COVID-19 pandemic.

How the State’s New COVID-19 Guidelines Affect the County While California’s new guidelines for counties to reopen specific business sectors offer a simpler, more limited set of metrics, the immediate impact on San Bernardino County residents and businesses is fairly limited, with most of the previous restrictions still in place. One exception: barbershops and hair salons, which previously could only offer services outside, may now serve patrons indoors (subject to specific modifications). Also, indoor shopping malls can open again with limited capacity. The new system replaces the state’s “Monitoring List” with a four-tiered, color category system. A county’s reopening guidelines are based on whether a county is ranked as purple (widespread risk), red (substantial), orange (moderate) or yellow (minimal). “COVID-19 will be with us for a long time and we need to adapt,” Gov. Gavin Newsom explained during a press conference on Friday. “This idea that it was going to go away in the summer during the warmer months, that somehow it would disappear … has obviously been substituted by a different reality that we’re not only experiencing here in California but all across the nation.” Currently 38 counties, representing 87% of the state’s population, are in the purple category — and San Bernardino is among them. Purple counties are those reporting More than seven new cases or more per day per 100,000 residents and a testing positivity rate of more than 8 percent. Moving to a lower tier will require meeting that tier’s criteria for two weeks prior to the move, with a mandatory 21-day wait time between each move.

“We obviously are hoping our county can move into the red category, and that will require making steady progress on our case and positivity rates,” said Corwin Porter, the County’s director of public health. “Over the past 7 days, we have averaged 11.7 new cases per 100,000 residents, and to move to the red tier, we need to be at 7 cases per 100,000 residents. In addition, our positivity rate is still in the 10% range, and we need to be at a steady 8% or lower, so we clearly still have more work to do.” The tier system will not include thresholds for hospitalizations and ICU bed availability, as these are criteria the counties up and down the state are meeting. A spike in a county’s hospitalization, however, could be used as an “emergency brake” for a county tier determination, according to the governor. Porter emphasized the need for more testing countywide and to pursue the same safety guidelines the County has been promoting the past several months, but with particular vigilance on avoiding social gathering. “We see that the majority of cases are coming from social gatherings where families and friends – even in a small group – are not following the same protocol as when they are shopping or going about their regular routine,” said Porter. “You might be with extended family or close friends, but until we have a vaccine, wear a mask and keep your distance between each other.” Following are rules for counties in the purple category: Hair salons: open indoors with modifications Retail: open indoors at 25% capacity Malls: open indoors at 25% capacity and food courts closed Personal care services (nail salons, body waxing, etc.): outdoor only Museums, zoos and aquariums: outdoor only Places of worship: outdoor only Movie theaters: outdoor only Hotels: open with modifications Gyms: outdoor only Restaurants: outdoor only Wineries: outdoor only Bars and breweries: closed Family entertainment centers: outdoor only, like mini golf, batting cages and go-kart racing Cardrooms: outdoor only Non-essential offices: remote work only Professional sports: no live audiences Schools: must stay closed A status of industry-by-industry guidelines can be found via this link, accessible via the County COVID-19 webpage.

The California Towns Where Blacks Feared Sundown Quinci LeGardye | California Black Media In the Aug. 16 premiere of the HBO show “Lovecraft Country,” created by Misha Green and based on the novel of the same name by Matt Ruff, the main characters drive past a sign that reads “[N-word]s, don’t let the sun set on you here. Understand?” Towns that banned African Americans in the mid-20th century would, either formally or informally, put up intimidating signs like that at the town limits to remind Blacks passing through that they were not welcome. These places, known commonly as “sundown towns,” existed across the nation. Many of them were here in California, too. The memory of sundown towns re-entered our collective cultural conscience recently as incidents of police brutality have pushed people to speak out against racism. The book “Sundown Towns: A Hidden Dimension of American Racism,” written by sociologist James W. Loewen, was originally published in 2005. In the preface of the reprinted 2018 edition, Loewen noted that while sundown towns are on the decline, some former sundown towns have shifted from overt to systemic racism through policies such as “Driving While Black policing.” He cites the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., as an example. T he r e i s w id e s p r e a d misconception that sundown towns were mostly concentrated in the Deep South and Midwest, as depicted in Lovecraft Country’s first episode of the series, which was set along the highway route from Chicago to Massachusetts. But similar numbers of sundown towns existed in the West as well, including in California up until the mid-20th century. The national sundown town database on Loewen’s website lists 112 possible sundown towns in California. These towns are categorized on the website as either possible, probable, or surely, as it is difficult to categorize “sundown towns” because of varying degrees of explicitness in their approaches

California cities classified as “surely” sundown towns on Loewen’s website include Brea, Chico, Culver City, El Segundo, Fresno, Glendale, Hawthorne, La Jolla, Palmdale, San Marino and Taft. Cities that are now majority Black and Brown, including Compton and Inglewood in Southern California, previously barred Black residents. The list also includes some entire counties as surely sundown in the past. Evidence listed on Loewen’s website includes census records and anecdotes submitted by citizens or discovered through research. The anecdotes listed include alleged cross burnings and other threats towards Black homeowners, and alleged expulsions of entire ethnic groups. Though many sundown towns have strong oral histories, with residents and locals confirming their existence, sundown ordinances were usually not part of a city’s records. Loewen wrote, “I read at least 300 local histories -- some of them elaborate coffee table books -- about towns whose sundown histories I had confirmed via detailed oral histories, but only about 1 percent of these mentioned
Black Public Media To Award Up To $150,000 To Creatives Entertainment News NEW YORK (August 31, 2020) — Black Public Media (BPM) is now accepting applications for the 2021 cohort of its 360 Incubator+ program. Created in 2014 to help BPM identify quality and innovative content by Black filmmakers, the 360 Incubator+ program is a three-month holistic development and fellowship initiative that helps creatives through training, mentorship, instructional sessions and more, as they prepare to compete for up to $150,000 in funding. Applicants must have a minimum of three years’ experience and their broadcast, web streaming and emerging media projects must be in the research and development stage or early production phase. The program, which runs January through March, will be held remotely. Applications are being accepted through September 15. BPM, a Harlem-based media nonprofit dedicated solely to media content about the global Black experience, will select up to 10 projects for the Incubator. In January 2021, each project team will be assigned a mentor who will help them as they work to develop a plan, proposal, sample reel and pitch. The teams will also take part in virtual workshops
on pitch mechanics, grant writing, distribution and more. During the final month of the Incubator, the teams will work with a coach to refine their pitches in preparation for the Incubator’s culminating event, PitchBLACK, where each team will present its project to a panel of industry professionals, receiving valuable feedback from media executives as well as the chance to receive up to $150,000 in development funds for their projects. “The 360 Incubator+ program allows our organization not only to identify cutting-edge creatives in our industry but also to help them widen their skill set and help accelerate their production, and to provide public media audiences with stories reflecting the diverse voices and stories in the Black community,” said Denise Greene, BPM’s Director of Program Initiatives. The application fee for the Incubator is $35. If the fee is prohibitive, the applicant can request a fee waiver at funding@ blackpublicmedia.org.

their town’s racial policies. In conversation, however, the authors of these commemorative histories were often more forthcoming, showing that they knew about the policy but didn’t care to disclose it in print.” In her book Wandering in Strange Lands, author Morgan Jerkins spoke with a woman named Rachelle, who shared her memories of sundown towns in Los Angeles County. “I can remember when a black person had better not go to Glendale or Culver City and be there after five o’clock.” In addition to African Americans, other ethnic groups were also excluded from cities. In 1885, about 320 Chinese Americans were expelled from Eureka, Calif., after a Chinese man accidentally shot a city councilman. According to an article in the North Coast Journal, multiple towns around Eureka followed suit, and Chinese Americans were expelled from an estimated 40 communities in Northern California in 1885 and 1886. According to the Chapter 14 of Loewen’s book, “Sundown Towns Today,” California has integrated its communities more than other states with historic sundown towns, with many cities
eliminating discriminatory laws and removing warning signs. In 2017, the National League of Cities (NLC) announced a collaboration with the Center for Social Inclusion to help local government officials advance racial equity in their cities. The mission of NLC’s Race Equity and Leadership Initiative is to “strengthen the knowledge and capacity of local elected officials to eliminate racial disparities, heal racial tensions and build more equitable communities,” according to their website. However, racial animosity still exists as shown by the multiple Black Lives Matter protests that have occurred in the state since May. In a time of civil unrest and calls for revolution, history is revealing and asserting itself. “Sundown towns have never gone away,” wrote Jerkins in a recent article. “As long as Black people have stories of what has happened to them or others for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, and as long as White people terrorize Black people who move into their neighborhoods, or create laws to restrict them from living there in the first place, sundown towns will always be a part of the fabric of American culture.”
“You Mean to Tell Me That Death Got to Come Knocking on Your Door Before You Realize What Time of Day It Is?” By: Lou Yeboah
Lou Yeboah The noon whistle, has been sounding since Christ came to earth. Don’t ignore the sound of the siren. It is significant. Repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand! Don't be another Agrippa who said to Paul, "You almost persuaded me to become a Christian" [Acts 26:28]; or Felix who after hearing Paul reason of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, trembled and answered, go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee." [Acts 24:24-25]. Don’t you do it! Don’t let death come knocking on your door before you realize what time of day it is? How will you escape if you ignore God’s salvation? [Hebrews 2:3]. How will you escape His wrath? [John 3:36]; His condemnation? [John 3:18] His
word of banishment? [Matthew 26:41]. The answer: You will not! I want you to know that in the days just prior to the Babylonian Captivity; the Lord, through the prophet Jeremiah pleaded with Judah to repent. [Jeremiah 6:16]. But they said...No! What tragedy became their portion because of it. Don’t wait until it is too late! The Lord’s people in ancient times reached a point where it was too late! The Lord had been warning Judah, through the prophets, for years that they needed to repent and amend their ways; but they arrogantly ignored God. God’s long-suffering finally ran out; the Lord had done all He could for them. “He sent warnings to them by His messengers, rising up early and sending them, because He had compassion on His people and on His dwelling place. But they mocked the messengers of God, despised His words, and scoffed at His prophets, until the wrath of the Lord arose against His people, till there was no remedy.” Don't wait until its continued in next 2 columns
“You Mean to Tell Me That Death Got to Come Knocking on Your Door Before You Realize What Time of Day It Is?...continued” too late! God brought a terrible judgment against Judah for their obstinate: [2 Chronicles 36:15-20]. God extended them an opportunity for salvation. They stubbornly refused and kept up their idolatry. God sent judgment—Babylon laid siege to Jerusalem. Still they thought they would be rescued. They thought Jerusalem will never be destroyed. They were told by false prophets that deliverance would come by summertime, and certainly in time for Fall harvest. Boy was they wrong. Repentance did not come. Rescue did not come. They finally realized too late that they had been wrong. What a grief it was to realize their punishment was set and there would be no salvation now. Don’t make the same mistake! Don’t wait until it’s too late! For as [2 Peter 3:9] reminds us, “The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is long-suffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. Because unless the Lord comes first, what is said of Adam will be said of us,
“…and he died” [Genesis 5:5]. Are you listening?! Don’t wait until it is too late. When the door is shut, you won’t have another opportunity! [Revelation 22:17]: “And the Spirit and the bride say, ‘Come.’ And let him that hearth say, ‘Come.’ And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.” I tell you, there are some of you who are on the verge of being one day too late with God. You are acting like Israel and putting off repentance. You can't wait until after death to repent of your sins. The day after Death is one day too late! The day after the Rapture is one day too late. The Rapture is a true event and a soon event. The day after the Holy Spirit stops dealing with you is one day too late. “Wherefore as the Holy Spirit saith, Today if ye will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts, as in the rebellion.” [Hebrew 3:15. “For My spirit shall not always strive with man, says the Lord!” [Genesis 6:3]. “Harvest is past, summer is ended, and you are not saved.” [Jeremiah 8:20]. May the Lord have mercy on your soul!

Threshold Moments: A Ritual for Voting Chris Davies Team Leader, Faith INFO As Voting day, November 3, 2020, quickly approaches and many American citizens find ourselves in a quandary as to how to best prepare, I invite us, as people of conscience/faith, to join together in this ritual of preparation as a way forward. Step 1: Push past any indifference and decide to put some of your action into a small step forward. Plan for how you will vote this year. Check your registration. Will you vote early by mail? Will you go to the polls with your mask and your research? Will you drop off a ballot at a location you’ve identified beforehand? This decision is a threshold. Move through it with care. Step 2: After you have made your plan, and as your body and self moves closer to the action, breathe intention towards change. Hold hope of humanity. Hold the vision of the better world. Breathe into the kindom of God. Notice the emotions within you: perhaps… frustration, pride, anger, hope, excitement, anxiety. Step 3: Open the ballot when you have received it—whether in the mail or at the polling place. Cast the wisdom of your ancestors who knew these threshold moments between you and the signs, the people campaigning and advertisements, the free coffee that comes with expectations. A shield of love between your values and morals and soul, and all that threatens. Step 4: Read it over. Remind yourself of the grounding values of your spirit and soul. Reach towards the rituals of your faith, your awareness, your family; whatever they may be. Step 5: As you take the time to research, or to wait in line, let each moment be mindful. Check your ballot choices, google the platforms or judges or issues that mean prioritizing people. Send energy of love. Check yourself in holding humanity, even if it means re-orienting your idea of the other. Step 6: Remember your ancestors who could not vote, who had no choice in public sphere. Remember the prophet
Cornel West: “Justice is what love looks like in public.” Remember t hose who are barred from this right, or cannot vote, this year. Remember that this is but one action of many in alignment of Justice. Remember that voting is not EV ERYTHI NG… A nd it is not nothing. Step 7: As you fill out the forms with your name, or show your ID and get checked in, pull your own identity and self and core to the forefront of your awareness. Does your vote today reflect one you can stand beside for the children and grandchildren of this generation, and those to follow? Can you do your best, even amidst all the rest of the competing priorities of your life? What are the core values and commitments that you want to hold in voting? Step 8: Take your ballot and touch the threshold of the ballot box. May you be encased in love. May you be held accountable for these choices. May your bubble-filling be complete, and may the machines not lose your vote. May you lose the blinders of indifference, may the walls between those in power and those first impacted by the political forces of shame and greed crumble. Step 9: Submit your vote. Pray. Send energy. Make a shield. Lift gratitude. Remember the ways that your vote counts, but more so; your willingness to show up alongside what you believe, to learn across difference, and that you can be counted on to help make another world possible. Step 10: Apply your sticker. Or update your social media that you have voted. This is the threshold of another beginning, an invitation to others to do the same. Gird up your loins, pull yourself up, and let us roll up the sleeves and get to work, together. Join those who have been here for long and be re-energized by those who are ready to help in the work. No matter what happens i n November, we w ill cross the threshold into the ongoing work, together.

Black Americans and COVID-19 Clinical Trials By Dr. Benjamin F. Chavis, Jr., President and CEO, National Newspaper Publishers Association
Black American engagement is crucial and critical in the development of a COVID-19 vaccine — including participation in clinical trials — to make sure that the new vaccine is effective to prevent Blacks and others from COVID-19 infections. (Photo: iStockphoto / NNPA) The unrelenting spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) throughout the United States of America in 2020, continues to pose an unprecedented public health crisis for all Americans, but in particular for Black Americans and other people of color who are disproportionately negatively impacted by COVID-19. As the trusted voice of Black America, the National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA) in March of 2020 established the NNPA Coronavirus Task Force as a means of increasing public awareness about the overall preexisting health disparities in Black America and the disproportionately fatal consequences of COVID-19 for Black Americans and ot her people of color. In fact, the NNPA and our Coronavirus Task Force were the first to issue a national “State of Emergency” declaration on
April 3, 2020 to warn Black Americans and others about the evolving dangers and public health risks of COVID-19. Earlier this year, there were just too many myths and other misinformation circulating primarily via social media falsely asserting that “Black people and people of African descent were immune to COVID-19 because of the presence of melanin.” Of course, that assertion is not true. Yet, unfortunately, too many people in our communities began to risk infection to COVID-19 because of falsehoods and misinformation. The media has a responsibility to research and report the truth. This year marks the 193rd year of the Black Press of America. Since Freedom’s Journal was first published in March of 1827, the Black Press has remained on the front lines of publishing and speaking truth to power by demanding
freedom, justice and equality. All of this brings me to state categorically, “Black Americans have to be involved at all levels of responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. We cannot afford to be silent, detached, denied, or prevented from being at the decision-making tables in terms of COVID-19-based public health policies, research, clinical trials, remedies, and vaccine development. Our lives and future are at stake.” The good news is that today there are many Black American physicians, infectious disease scholars, clinicians, medical researchers, nurses and others on the front lines as first responders and as leaders inside the major pharmaceutical companies that are striving to develop a safe and effective vaccine for COVID-19. We are profoundly aware that within our communities there has been a historical and contemporary distrust of medical research. However, the challenge today is for more Black Americans to be involved at every point of the development of a COVID-19 vaccine to ensure that the medical rights and interests of Black Americans are thoroughly protected, respected, and addressed effectively and truthfully. In other words, Black American engagement is crucial and critical in the development of a COVID-19 vaccine — including participation in clinical trials — to make sure
that the new vaccine is effective to prevent Blacks and others from COVID-19 infections. Three years ago, the NNPA, Howard University and Pfizer collaborated to do a national landmark poll and study of awareness of Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) among Black Americans. This was important because Black Americans are disproportionately impacted by SCD across the nation. Included in that NNPA-Howard University-Pfizer poll was the issue of Black Americans’ willingness to participate in clinical trials with respect to SCD. We were pleased to learn and to document that 76% of the Black American poll respondents had positive or neutral attitudes toward SCD clinical trials, and a majority indicated a willingness to participate in future clinical trials for SCD, given appropriate knowledge and recommendations from health care professionals. It is urgent that in the strategic rush to develop an effective COVID-19 vaccine for all people, that Black Americans are not left out of the process. The health of our families and communities necessitates our involvement to raise all the questions that need to be raised, and at the same time to participate responsibly in the COVID-19 clinical trials.

State Treasurer Fiona Ma Announces Approval of CHFFA COVID-19 Emergency HELP Loan Local News Sacramento – California State Treasurer Fiona Ma, chair of the California Health Facilities Financing Authority (CHFFA), today announced approval of the first COVID-19 Emergency HELP loan in the amount of $250,000 for Operation Samahan, Inc. (Operation Samahan) to increase space for a drive-thru clinic for COVID-19 screenings and services and to renovate an Operation Samahan-owned building in order to decrease the rent expense of utilizing a leased building. “This inaugural loan will provide Operation Samahan with the resources needed to provide COVID-19-related services to the community as well as to improve the health center’s bottom line, which has been devastated by the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Treasurer Ma. “It is my hope that additional borrowers will use this program to help them address the revenue reductions and increased expenditures wrought upon California health facilities by this terrible disease,” said Frank Moore, CHFFA Executive Director. The COVID-19 Emergency HELP Loan Program was authorized by the CHFFA board
in April 2020. The Program allocated $5 million from the Authority’s existing HELP II Loan Program to this new program and gave the CHFFA Executive Director the ability to lend up to $250,000 per borrower at zero interest to borrowers that can prove that they’ve been negatively impacted by COVID-19 and that provide evidence that they will use the loan proceeds to address this impact. Eligible health facilities must have gross revenues of less than $30 million (except for rural health facilities and district hospitals), have been in existence for at least three years, provide evidence of impact by COVID-19, demonstrate fiscal soundness, and show readiness to proceed. Funds may be used for construction, remodeling, renovation, equipment, furnishings, working capital, and reimbursement of prior expenditures. There is no application fee for this program, only a 1% closing fee. For more information on CHFFA’s COVID-19 Emergency HELP Loan Program; to apply for loan financing through CHFFA; or to learn about other funding opportunities, please visit CHFFA's website.
Public Health Reminds Residents of the Risks from Gathering with People from Outside Your Household Public Health Reports 45 New Deaths and 840 New Positive Cases of Confirmed COVID-19 in Los Angeles County Local News
Deadline To Submit Legals and Press Releases Is Mondays By 5pm More Professionals Could Remain Contractors Under New AB 5 Exemptions... continued from page 4 additional industry specific pathways for people to work independently and prevent abuses that hurt workers and small business.” Under AB 5, companies must determine whether their workers are employees according to criteria known as the “ABC” test. Workers can only be classified as independent contractors if A) Their work is free from control of the hiring entity B) They perform work that is outside the hiring entity’s usual course of business, and C) They have an independent business. AB 5 has been challenged by various industries since it was introduced as a bill. Truck drivers won an injunction that prevented AB 5 from being enforced for their industry on Jan. 16. Recently, a California Superior Court judge ruled that rideshare companies Uber and Lyft must classify their drivers as employees. The judge later paused the injunction after the companies threatened to stop operating in California. Uber and Lyft have also funded a ballot measure along with other rideshare and delivery companies that would exempt the companies from AB 5 restrictions if voters approve it in November. If Gov. Newsom signs AB 2257 into law, it would take effect immediately.
