Black GOP Candidates Are Tapping Into Voter Frustrations in 2022 Election Cycle Tanu Henry | California Black Media
Congresswoman Waters Introduces Resolution to Commemorate the 30th Anniversary of Los Angeles 1992 Insurrection Government/Local News
There are 12 Black Republicans running in statewide races across California this election year. Come June 7, when the primaries are held, many of them – already longshots without local or statewide political experience – will likely be eliminated from competing in the November general elections. Either way it goes, some of the Black Republican candidates California Black Media (CBM) has spoken with say they have already made a difference. They entered their races to represent Californians who are frustrated with the policies coming out of the Democratic-run Statehouse and Legislature in Sacramento and their ideas and opposition on problems from homelessness and affordable housing to education and the environment have already begun to influence political conversations at the state, county and municipal levels across California. “I really think 2020 woke up a lot of people to get involved in legislation -- find out how a lot of things work,” said Pastor Brian Hawkins, a San Diego native and San Jacinto city councilmember who is a Black Republican candidate running to defeat U.S. Congressman Raul Ruiz. Ruiz is a Democrat representing California’s 36th Congressional District but due to redistricting is running to represent the 25th Congressional District. “People are starting to question political motives, people are questioning the education system, the model that's been the same for hundreds of years. So, I think people are hungry for something different and this gives us an opportunity,” he said. Recently, CBM spoke with another Black Republican candidate Shawn Collins who
is running for governor. Critics say Collins’ attempt to become governor is ambitious because he is barely known in the state’s political circles and last week the California Republican Party endorsed another candidate, former California State Senate Minority Leader Brian Dahle (R-Bieber), for Governor. But Collins, 41, an attorney, dad, and U.S. Navy veteran who lives in Orange County, says his message is connecting with people. “I tell people that California's problems are so big right now, they transcend politics,” he said. “And what I mean by that is there are certain issues in this state right now that impact you whether you're a Democrat or Republican.” Last week, Collins spoke with CBM about his decision to run for Governor of California. Here is an excerpt of our conversation. It has been edited for concision and clarity. Why are you running for Governor? My primary motivation is my family -- my wife, and my four young children. I'm genuinely concerned about my children, being able to start lives and develop careers here in California because the state has become so anti-business. The governor’s race excites me because I track our K through 12 education. California is ranked 40 out of 50 states. How is that possible? This is the fifth largest economy in the world. We have a budget of over $300 billion. We have a surplus of over $31 billion and our teachers, are some of the highest paid in all of America. You have to ask: why is our public education system so bad? How do we fix it? It is one of the first things I’ll
focus on when I become Governor. The Hoover Institute has been tracking this program in Dallas – in the community that I grew up in, actually. They incentivize highperforming teachers in other school districts to come to lower income communities and try to make an impact. They say, “right now only two out of 10 kids are reading at their grade level. If you can get that up to four out of 10, there's $50,000 attached to that.” It's in its second year right now and test scores have already dramatically improved. What do you think about the growing school choice movement that a lot of conservatives support? I've always been an advocate of school choice because it puts pressure on the school district to perform. If they don't perform, their schools will lose funding. What gives you the confidence that you as a Republican can win in California, one of the most Democratic states in the country? Well, I'll start with my background, you know, first of all, I'm not your traditional Republican. They've never seen any Republican candidate like me. And what I mean by that is I was not born into the Republican Party. You're looking at a person that grew up in a very Democrat household. My dad was in electrician, and he was a single father because my parents divorced when I was three years old. My mom gave my dad primary custody because she was very intimidated by having to raise two young boys by herself. How do you convince Black and other minority voters to support your candidacy? I grew up in difficult circumstances, so I understand the hurt that average Californians are feeling right now. I can use that personal experience to implement
policy that will make substantial changes to individuals' lives. How is your plan for tackling homelessness better than what Democrats have done? Democrats have thrown $13 billion at the problem over the past five years, and it's gotten worse. We have to stop this “housing first” policy. The assumption is that if you can provide a home for every single homeless person in the state of California -- which is in excess of 160,000 at this point -- the security of a home will somehow transform them. When you look at the breakdown of our homeless population in the state, roughly a third are homeless because of life circumstances, meaning they lost the job, or some type of catastrophic economic event. That's one-third. the other two-thirds are drug addicted or mentally ill. So, if you're talking about a housing option for that one-third, okay, You're on the right track. My policy would be to have more drug addiction and mental health services. If the drug addict or the mentally ill person says, “I don't want your help,” then we have to implement tough love. You have to accept the help or go to jail, but you can't live on the street because that's not compassion. Public safety is a big issue right now. A lot of conservatives are slamming criminal justice reforms and calling for tough-on-crime policies again. What is your take? We have to have accountability built into our criminal justice system. Criminals talk. I know that because I grew up in a community where criminals talked. And if people know that they are not going to be held accountable, they are emboldened to go out and commit crimes. continued on page 3
Wa s h i n g t o n , D.C . – (5/02/22) Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D - CA), Chairwoman of the Financial Services Committee, who was deeply involved in the response to the 1992 insurrection in Los Angeles, announced that she is introducing a resolution in the House of Representatives to commemorate the 30th Anniversary of the Los Angeles 1992 Insurrection. “Thirty years ago, we witnessed Los Angeles Police Department officers savagely beat an unarmed black man, Rodney King, while 17 police officers watched and did nothing to stop the brutal beating.” said Congresswoman Waters. “I could not believe my eyes back then and to this day that no one came to Mr. King’s aid. Furthermore, it was clear that police officers could care less about Mr. King’s life, and in doing so, provided additional evidence to people across this country of the injustices Black people suffer at the hands of police. What’s more, the acquittal of the police officers that denied the footage we had seen was just wrong, and the insurrection that followed was an outcry by people who had been forgotten, who had been denied opportunities, jobs, and wealth and now through this verdict had to accept police abuse.
“When the insurrection broke out, I immediately went into the public housing developments and worked tirelessly to try to get diapers, food, and milk for children. As I walked the public housing developments, I demanded that electricity and water be restored, and urged the Department of Justice to file civil rights charges against the recently acquitted police officers. I was out on the streets explaining to anyone that would listen that people had a right to be angry. I redirected the conversation to use that moment to expose that people had been forgotten and found themselves trying to provide for their kids and find jobs. “My fighting against police abuse dates back to the extensive organizing and rallying to confront former Los Angeles Police Chief Daryl Gates in response to abusive tactics against Black men and women in the Los Angeles area. “I have continuously used my voice to oppose police abuse and support police reforms such as the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, which passed the House last year and is now awaiting action in the Senate. Even though the Senate has not yet passed it, I will keep fighting so our voices are heard and will continue to demand justice to prevent what happened to Rodney King from happening to anyone again.”

Bill To Increase Education Funding for Black Students Moves Forward in Assembly Antonio Ray Harvey | California Black Media
Assemblywoman Dr. Akilah Weber speaks at an AB 2774 rally in front of the State Capitol in Sacramento before a hearing held on April 27. Weber is the author of the bill ( Margaret Fortune founder of Fortune charter school CEO standing to her right). (CBM photo by Antonio Ray Harvey). With a 7-0 vote, the Assembly Education Committee approved legislation that would require California’s Superintendent of Public Instruction to identify -- and provide targeted funding for -- the lowest-performing pupil subgroup in the state. That sub-group is Black students. Assemblymembers Akilah Weber (D-San Diego) and Chris Holden (D-Los Angeles), both members of the California Black Legislative Caucus (CLBC), co-authored the legislation: Assembly Bill (AB) 2774. AB 2774 also requires school districts, charter schools, and county offices of education (COE) to be held accountable to provide additional services and improve academic performance. Weber and Holden say they
wrote the bill to remedy existing racial equity gaps and ensure that all Black students regardless of socio-economic status have the resources they need to succeed. “This is one of our priority bills,” Weber said of the effort to enhance educational resources for Black students. “We think it is time for California to invest and focus on closing the academic achievement gap. (This bill) will add a new subcategory for the sole purpose of achieving improved test scores.” The bill is headed to the Assembly Committee on Appropriations, chaired by Holden. Before the vote, educators, students, and faith leaders held a rally at the State Capitol in support of AB 2774. If approved, the legislation would provide $400 million per

In 2019, testing data showed that Black students are the lowest-performing subgroup on state standardized tests with 67% not passing English Language Arts (ELA) and 79% not meeting the Math standard. The legislation, the authors say,
is designed to address longstanding equity issues with the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF), which was created to provide additional funding for the highest need students in California. The LCFF was enacted in 2013.
Bill To Increase Education Funding for Black Students Moves Forward in Assembly... continued Supporters of AB 2774 say that over one-quarter of Black students are not receiving supplemental f u ndi ng t h roug h LCFF. “This is not the first time this bill has been introduced. It was previously introduced by my mother Dr. Shirley Weber who is now our Secretary of State,” Weber said. “Although we did not get everything that we wanted, our persistence will ensure this time we will get it passed. We fought hard to make sure we got this hearing.” The language in AB 2774 states that the subgroup identified for the 2023-2024 fiscal year, based on the 2018-19 the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) scores “shall be included within the ‘unduplicated’ pupil count until its scores equal or exceeds the highest performing subgroup (Asians).” Existing law provides school districts, charter schools, and County Offices of Education (COEs) with a base level of funding based on the enrollment of pupils who are either English learners, low income, or in foster care. But students that fall into more than one category are counted only once for LCFF purposes, hence the term “unduplicated pupil,” AB 2774 language explains. Along with Weber, other advocates for Black students attending the rally included
Dr. Margaret Fortune, Founder and CEO of Fortune School of Education, a network of seven charter schools in Sacramento and San Bernardino; Dr. Ramona Bishop, co-founder of Elite Public Schools, a charter school focused on technology based in Vallejo and former Superintendent for Vallejo Unified School District; the Rev. Tecoy Porter, Executive Director of National Action Network Sacramento; and the Rev. Jonathon Mosley, Director of National Action Network Western Region. Other attendees were Joette Spencer Campbell, NAACP San Bernardino; Tak Allen, International Faith Coalition; Dondrell Swanson, Alpha Com mu nit y Education Initiative; and Bina Lefkovitz, Trustee Sacramento County Board of Education; and Tracie Stafford Chair of the Sacramento Democratic Party. Sen. Steven Bradford (D-Gardena), chairperson of the CLBC, and Assemblymember Jim Cooper (D-Sacramento) also attended the rally. “This is going to be a collective effort to show that we all care, and all are accountable for the achievement of Black students,” Fortune said. “This is the third time we’ve gone after this bill, and the third time with Dr. Akilah Weber it is going to be the charm.”

Trailblazing Black Press Journalists Remembered with Special White House Correspondents Honor NNPA NEWSWIRE — Alice Dunnigan and Ethel Payne, pioneering African American journalists that penned articles for the Chicago Defender, earned recognition from the White House Correspondents Association (WHCA) for their historic and ground-breaking contributions. The WHCA established the Dunnigan-Payne Prize for Lifetime Career Achievement, honoring the two women as the initial awardees. By Stacy M. Brown, NNPA Newswire Senior National Correspondent
The late Alice Dunnigan, and Ethel Payne are the first recipients of the newly-created Lifetime Career Achievement award named after them by the White House Correspondence Association./WHCAThe late Alice Dunnigan, and Ethel Payne are the first recipients of the newly-created Lifetime Career Achievement award named after them by the White House Correspondence Association./WHCA Alice Dunnigan, a Kentuckyborn granddaughter of slaves and Ethel Payne, the renown ‘First Lady of the Black Press, received posthumous honors during the 2022 White House Correspondents Association’s (WHCA) dinner. Dunnigan and Payne, both of whom penned articles for the Chicago Defender, earned recognition from the WHCA, who established the DunniganPayne Prize for Lifetime Career Achievement in their names, honoring each as the initial recipients. The WHCA announced they would present the award, which recognizes meritorious service throughout an individual’s career as a White House correspondent,
periodically. During a black-tie gala at the Washington Hilton on Saturday, April 30, Gayle King of CBS Mornings presented the award to relatives of Dunnigan and Payne, who died in 1983 and 1991 respectively. “This association of White House reporters has never given its due to these two pioneering WHCA members who paved the way for so many,” said WHCA president Steven Portnoy. “We are proud to see to it that Alice Dunnigan and Ethel Payne will be forever remembered for their service to the profession and to the American public.” In 1947, Dunnigan became the first African American female reporter to be credentialed at the
White House. A few years later, Payne joined her and both women reportedly distinguished themselves during the presidency of Dwight Eisenhower. The WHCA said the two regularly pressed him at news press conferences – when no other reporters would – about his administration’s support for civil rights for Black Americans. Eisenhower insisted that he eschewed racial discrimination, and that his administration was aiming to do what was “decent and just.” But in the summer of 1954, in response to a question about whether Black Americans could count on his support for a ban on
segregation in interstate travel, Eisenhower sternly told Payne that he would not act “to support any particular or special group of any kind.” The moment – which occurred just two months after the Supreme Court’s Brown v. Board of Education ruling – sparked the headline in the Washington Evening Star: “President Annoyed by Query On Travel Race Ban Support.” Dunnigan repeatedly asked Eisenhower about segregated schools on military bases in the south, as well as the president’s overall support of civil rights legislation. The President eventually stopped calling on the two women at his press conferences. During President John F. Kennedy’s first news conference in 1961, Dunnigan asked about Black sharecroppers who were being evicted from their land in Tennessee simply for registering to vote. Jet Magazine reported it was the first time Dunnigan had been called on in two years. “In the face of the racism and sexism of the era, these two women fearlessly brought the concerns of their readers directly to the most powerful man in the world,” Portnoy said. “It is our honor to lift up their legacies.”
New State Bill to Help Students Succeed at California Community Colleges By OAKLAND POST
New leg islat ion f rom Assemblymember Jacqui Irwin (AD-44) will be heard April 26 in the Higher Education Committee, Assembly Bill 1705, which will address remedial placement policies at California’s community colleges and help more students to achieve their educational goals. The bill is supported by the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office, the Student Senate for California Community Colleges, Students Making a Change, and a diverse coalition of higher education equity, research, civil rights, social justice, and student leadership organizations. “We strongly support AB 1705 and urge the members of the Higher Education Committee to move the legislation forward,” said Chidi Agu, Program coordinator of Students Making a Change, who will testify at the Higher Education Committee hearing. “This bill will make a tremendous difference for all kinds of students but especially our Black and Latinx students, who are too often steered into remedial classes where they lose time, money, and ultimately end up
less likely to achieve their goals.” AB 1705 builds off AB 705 (Irwin), a groundbreaking 2017 law that required the state’s community colleges to recognize high school coursework instead of relying on inaccurate and inequitable placement tests. It required that students be placed into English and math classes where they have the greatest chance to make progress toward a college degree. Prior to this landmark change, the vast majority of California community college students were denied access to transferable, college-level English and math courses. Eighty percent of incoming students started in remedial classes that cost time and money but did not earn credit toward a bachelor’s degree. “Over a decade of research has established that starting in a remedial class actually makes students less likely to earn a degree,” said Dr. Christopher Nellum, executive director of Education Trust-West. “Millions of students were excluded from classes in which they could have been successful, and disproportionately, this impacted
Black and Latinx students.” AB 705 changed this by restricting colleges from requiring remedial courses. After AB 705 became law, there was a dramatic and unprecedented increase in students completing their classes at the state’s community colleges. Student completion of transferlevel courses increased from 49% to 67% in English and from 26% to 50% in math statewide (2015-2019). This amounts to more than 41,000 additional students who completed transferlevel English and more than 30,000 additional students who completed transfer-level math than before the law (2015-2019). “Researchers have found that every group examined has higher completion starting in a transferlevel course than in a remedial one, including students often cited as ‘needing’ remedial classes,” said Katie Hern, Co-Founder of the California Acceleration Project and a faculty member at Skyline College. “This includes Asian, Black, and Hispanic students. Students with low GPAs. Students with disabilities. Veterans. Foster youth. Lowincome students. We can’t identify any group that does better taking a remedial course first.” Yet despite the clear evidence that changing placement policies benefits students, many of California’s community colleges have yet to implement the changes mandated by AB 705. As of fall 2020, only a handful of colleges had achieved 100%
implementation of the law. “California’s community colleges have continued to devote substantial resources to remedial math, despite evidence that these classes do not meet the AB 705 standard of maximizing student completion,” said Jetaun Stevens, Senior Staff Attorney with Public Advocates. “This is especially true at colleges with over 2,000 Black students. Enrolling students in remedial courses drives racial inequity.” AB 1705 provides clarity and additional guidance to help ensure all California community college students benefit from the success of AB 705. The bill: Makes clear that colleges must enroll students in math and English classes where they have the greatest likelihood of completing degree and transfer requirements. Clarifies that colleges should not require students to repeat math and English classes they passed in high school. Provides greater protections to ensure that students are not required to take extra math and English courses that don’t count towards their degree requirements. Clarifies that it is the responsibility of colleges to ensure that students have supports that help them make progress toward their goals. The post New State Bill to Help Students Succeed at California Community Colleges first appeared on Post News Group. This article originally appeared in Post News Group.
Employers Have 60 Days to Meet CalSavers Mandate State/Government News SACRAMENTO – (5/02/22) State Treasurer Fiona Ma reminded employers to register for the CalSavers Retirement Savings Program before the June 30, 2022, deadline if they do not offer a private retirement plan and have five or more employees. “Thousands of employers of all types have already joined CalSavers. The evidence is clear: it works.” said California State Treasurer Fiona Ma, who chairs the CalSavers Retirement Savings Board. “Employers are the key to ensuring this program can fulfill its mission of offering all Californians a path to financial security in retirement.” Ma said. CalSavers was created to improve retirement security for all Californians, as nearly half of California workers are on track to face economic insecurity in retirement age and most of the state’s private-sector employees lack access to a retirement plan at work. Designed to make it easier to save for retirement, CalSavers has a simple menu of investment options, portable accounts, and an accessible, multilingual client services team. For employers, CalSavers is easy to facilitate, there are no employer fees, and no employer contributions are allowed. “We get it. Employers are focused on their day-to-day operations,” said executive director Katie Selenski. “That’s why we made CalSavers easy for employers of all types. We’re
proud of the resources available to help employers and savers alike, including our multi-lingual call center, live webinars every weekday, and a team of field reps located throughout the state.” Participants have already saved over $200 million for retirement through CalSavers. With more than 250,000 saver accounts already funded, the early growth is a positive sign for improving retirement security as the program completes its roll out to employers of all sizes. Larger employers that missed their deadlines in 2020 or 2021 are encouraged to register as soon as possible. Enforcement actions, including financial penalties, are underway for non-responsive employers. In 2012, California was the first state in the nation to pass legislation establishing an automatic enrollment retirement policy for private sector workers who lack access to work-based retirement plans. Authorized in final form in 2016 by Senate Bill 1234 (de León), the program began a limited pilot phase at the end of 2018 and launched fully statewide on July 1, 2019. CalSavers seeks to facilitate the largest expansion of retirement security since the advent of Social Security in the 1930’s and is already a model for a growing number of states seeking to establish a similar program.

Black GOP Candidates Are Tapping Into Voter Frustrations in 2022 Election Cycle...continued from page 1 How is it effective to implement tough-on-crime laws and lock more people up if rehabilitation programs are not built into the correctional system? For me, rehabilitation is important. We have to have programs in place whereby incarcerated people can learn a vocation, a trade or skill. If a person just goes to prison
and they hang out there for a certain period of time and they pick up no skills, they have nothing to offer society when they walk out. When you walk out of the doors of that prison with no skills, you're obviously going to return to a life of crime. Rehabilitation needs to be intelligent.

You can bet on music’s healing power. New Orleans has played those odds for over 50 years. Its renown jazz fest brings all kinds of people together, mends spirits and has even survived an apocalypse. Jazz festivals abound worldwide and quite often the term “Jazz” is just a catch-all for various music genres. Case in point, the headliners in 2022’s 51st annual New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival run the gamut. Red Hot Chili Peppers to Lionel Ritchie, Stevie Nicks to Nelly, Ziggy Marley to Melissa Etheridge, Morningstar Missionary Baptist Church Mass Choir to Buddy Guy, Native Nations Intertribal to the Loyola University Jazz Ensemble… A yearning for a jazz fest in NOLA started back in 1962, when George Wein, creator of the iconic Newport Jazz Festival, was asked to be a founder. He rejected the idea outright until Jim Crow laws were be abolished and integrated soirees could prevail. A breakthrough happened in 1970, when Mahalia Jackson returned to her hometown along with Duke Ellington to christen the first event. A historic and everlasting celebration of music and culture was born. Directors Frank Marshall (The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend a
Broken Heart) and Ryan Suffern take music lovers on a trip down memory lane. They passionately assemble footage, photos and interviews of the first participants, organizers and artists. Then their 95-minute motion picture book catalogues the evolution of NOLA’s incredible homage to its culture, city and love of music. In these times, over two long weekends, NOJHF can attract 100,000 revelers a day who view 7000 musicians on 14 stages. If the Newport Jazz Festival is the grandaddy, Montreal’s is the biggest and Montreux’s is the classiest, then New Orleans’ is the multicultural buffet. Wein himself crafted the festival’s purpose and set it on its meteoric path: “The festival must be a reflection of New Orleans and Louisiana culture.” Hometown blues singer Irma Thomas adds: “There is no separation of culture in New Orleans, it’s all blended together.” And Quint Davis, one of the original founders, sums up the homey atmosphere: “The world’s greatest backyard barbeque.” That loving feel of the city’s potent mix of Cajun, Creole, Black, and Native American culture is everywhere. In the assemblage of artists, the tents (blues, gospel,

chase your dreams, and find the right support you need along the way, which just might be from Taco Bell.” From now until July 21, 16-26 year-olds in the U.S. and all U.S. territories, can submit their social impact ideas (new or pre-existing ideas) for the chance to grow as a changemaker! Participants have the opportunity for a hands-on mentorship, win up to $25,000 in funding for their project, and take a trip to Taco Bell's headquarters to pitch their idea! All applicants will receive feedback on their ideas, and be invited to virtual learning sessions to deepen their changemaking knowledge and connect with like-minded peers. Funded by Yum! Brands’ Unlocking Opportunity Initiative, this program is open to Taco Bell team members as well. Please let me know if you’re interested in covering the Ambition Accelerator program!

SBCUSD 2022 High School Graduation Information...continue from page 2 Graduation: Friday, June 3, 10 a.m., San Bernardino Valley College, 701 S. Mt.

jazz and kids), the performing stages (Acura, Gentilly, Congo Square) and of course the festival’s cuisine. Ever had fried alligator? Clips of stirring performances by Thomas, Earth Wind & Fire, Jimmy Buffet, Katy Perry and Al Green spark a flame. Testimonials by local musicians, like Trombone Shorty, the Marsalis family, Neville clan, Glen Andrews and Tarriona "Tank" Ball of the group Tank and the Bangas, attest to the city’s homegrown musical heritage. If there’s a flaw in this thoughtful non-fiction film, it’s the lack of candor about the festival’s troubles. The problems, controversies and challenges any multimillion dollar event faces from inside, outside and municipal complications. A deeper investigation would have made the footage feel less like a promo reel and more like a documentary. But light-hearted nature doesn’t affect the end results. The cinematography by Michael Parry, Justin Kane and Boyd Hobbs is eye-catching, Martin Singer’s keen editing leaves no slack and the filmmakers have made a lot of right decisions. The notion that music can be a magic elixir peaks in an almost tear-jerking climax: At NOJHF in
2006, Bruce Springsteen performs the year after Katrina devastated the city. The show goes on and thousands assemble. The New Jersey crooner stands on center stage and morphs into a town crier. He bellows out his classic song, “My City of Ruins.” A powerful missive that encouraged everyone to persevere: “There's a blood red circle, on the cold dark ground, and the rain is falling down… My City of Ruins… With these hands I pray for the strength… Come on, rise up. Come on, rise up!” After a two-year COVID hiatus, the only time NOJHF has shut down in its entire history, the vibrant jazz fest was back in 2022. It has healed itself and done the same for the people who make the spiritual trek to this Cajun/Creole mecca. For years to come, this reverent doc will lead music lovers back to NOLA.

Meet The Entrepreneur Teaching Black Women How To Become Bosses In The Boardroom... continued and pitfalls, she says, she knows all too well. “Early on in my career, I had a horrible boss who didn’t know how to lead, and she made my work life and everyone else's jobs miserable,” says Scott. “But at the end of the day, she made me want to be a better leader and help others learn to lead, too.” With more than 18 years in the professional learning, public policy, and non-profit world, Scott is no stranger to the challenges of leading as a woman of color. Her greatest hope? That her new book, How to Get Promoted Fast: Your Guide to Becoming the Boss of Your Own Destiny, Getting Noticed, and Moving Up the Corporate Ladder will take the guesswork out of leadership for others. If you ask Scott what she
thinks is one of the most important skills a leader can have, she’ll tell you it’s the ability to lead yourself. But what does self-leadership look like? “It means being the author of your own life,” she says. “Sometimes, people wait for the opportunity, the job, the right moment. But it’s the dayto-day… every comment, every keystroke… that teaches people who you are and what you stand for.” About Jeboria Scott is a Nashvillebased leadership coach, raised on the Caribbean Island of Grand Bahama and educated in Belgium, Spain, and the United States.

“As Mother’s Day Approaches There May Be Some Who Say She Don’t Deserve to Be Honored!” By: Lou Yeboah
Lou Yeboah Well, I hate to burst your bubble, God never said if you thought she deserved to be honored, he said: “Honor thy father and thy mother.” Honor—No Ifs, Ands, Or Buts! There is no escape clause at the end of these verses. Over and over in Scripture, God commands us to “honor” our parents. It’s a command that thy days may be long upon the land that the LORD your God is giving you. A commandment with a promise [Ephesians 6:2]. In honoring your father and mother, you are rendering service with a good will as to the Lord and not to man. [Ephesians 6:7]. The primary teaching here is that if Israel would keep the Fifth Commandment, the nation would dwell in Canaan without interruption—but if Israel’s homes were ruined by disobedient children—then, neither strong armies nor walled cities could stop the enemy. For thus saith the Lord; I want you to know how great a struggle I have for you and for those at Laodicea and for all
who have not seen me face to face, that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, to reach all the riches of full assurance of understanding and the knowledge of God's mystery, which is Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. I say this in order that no one may delude you with plausible arguments. For though I am absent in body, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good order and the firmness of your faith in Christ.” [Colossians 2:1-23]. I tell you, one of the most powerful ways we can honor our parents; mother, and father, besides giving them our respect and obedience, is to choose to forgive forward. God tells us that He will bless us as we honor our parents. So as “Mother’s Day” approaches, think of ways to be kind to your mother in spite of. Do it as if you are doing it unto the Lord, with thanksgiving and praise to whom all glory and honor is do. Because as Tupac Shakur said in his lyrics [Dear Mama -2Pac], “Ain't a woman alive that could take my mama's place - I gotta thank the Lord that you made me. Dear Mama, You are appreciated.” Celebrating and Honoring A LL Mothers - Happy Mot he r’s Day t o you!
WITNESS FOR JUSTICE #1097
Choosing Vaccine Equity Karen Georgia A. Thompson A few months ago, as the COVID-19 pandemic was spreading and vaccine mandates were being considered, I had a conversation with a friend who refused to take the vaccine. Even at risk of losing their job, they were adamant they would not be vaccinated. When their job required the vaccine, they prepared for loss of income. With the potential health and financial risks, I wondered why they were making this choice about the vaccine, so I asked. They responded that they were not opposed to the vaccine. Instead, they said: “I believe everyone should have the right to choose whether or not they are vaccinated. I choose not to be vaccinated.” COVID-19 vaccine protocols have sparked debates globally. Questions of vaccine efficacy fueled the debate in the early days and were followed by a variety of political and medical narratives for and against the vaccine. As vaccine rollouts were implemented, there was further conflict over the vaccines themselves, with some individuals choosing which of the vaccines they preferred to take. The challenges of vaccine hesitancy and the politics of vaccine protocols are being heard around the globe. Everyone should have the right to choose whether or not they are vaccinated. Choice in this sense is not oppositional to vaccine mandates; instead, choice is about having access and the opportunity to choose. When it comes to individuals having the ability to choose whether or not to be vaccinated, choice is a privilege many do not have. There are billions around the world who have no access or limited access to the COVID-19
vaccine, with the majority of those being on the African continent. Vaccine equity continues to be a challenge two years after the virus was named a pandemic. Poorer countries have less access and their citizens have less choice in whether or not to take the vaccine. Human Rights Watch named their concerns for access and equity in an article entitled “COVID-19 Vaccine Access is a Right and Not a Privilege.” The right to vaccines and the ability to choose should not be reserved for residents of richer countries and those with the resources and access to medical technology needed to produce the vaccine. The United Church of Christ is partnering with UNICEF through the Interfaith Movement to End the Pandemic to ensure that all have access to the COVID-19 vaccine. The virus has resulted in more than 5.5 million deaths globally and continues to be a concern, even as mask mandates are being dropped in public places in the United States. The interfaith movement to end the pandemic is focused on addressing vaccine equity globally. The UNICEF goal for 2022 is to distribute 4.1 billion doses of the COVID-19 vaccine worldwide and to provide access to more of the global population. Access to vaccines should not be debatable or limited based on wealth and geographic location. COVID-19 is an ongoing threat to the health and wellbeing of billions. If we are to see an end to the pandemic, vaccine equity will have to be a priority. Karen Georgia A. Thompson is the Associate General Minister for Wider Church Ministries & Operations and Co-Executive for Global Ministries for the United Church of Christ.
Bad Blood, Sad Memories The Tuskegee Experiment and COVID-19 Connection By Eric Patterson
Eric Patterson Photo credit: Eric Patterson The Tuskegee Experiment is often cited by some African Americans, as a reason to be hesitant about the COVID-19 vaccine. But the record needs to be set straight. My grandfather's name was Doll Brown – an unusual handle for sure, but that wasn't his given birth name. Granddaddy was born in 1904 to a family with four girls. Everybody said he was so pretty "he looked like a doll the girls could play with." So that's what folks started calling him, Doll. The name and his good looks stuck with him well into adulthood. That's when he made "Doll Brown" his legal government name, the name on his driver's license as well as his death certificate. By the 1930s, when Granddaddy was in his prime, approximately one out of every 10 Americans was suffering from syphilis, according to an article by John H. Stokes. The illness was called "The 3rd Great Plague” due to its significant effect on the worldwide population. That ratio was even higher in the rural south, where Granddaddy was reared. Then, in 1932, the U.S. Public Health Service, Syphilis Study was initiated in Tuskegee, Alabama (misleadingly remembered as "The Tuskegee Experiment"). The government came to town to study (experiment on) Negroes who had contracted this fast-spreading disease. Good looking, ladies' man, Doll Brown, was one of them. The men were promised prime treatment and healthcare to further study and help eradicate this plague they called "Bad Blood." The study included men with
and without syphilis. None were treated. All were given placebos. Elsewhere in the world, Stokes' article states that "the effective use of penicillin was discovered and in 1943 the first patient was treated.” Within 12 months, over 10,000 early syphilis patients had been treated. The widespread use of penicillin was a major force behind historic decreases in reported syphilis cases. There was a 95 percent reduction in new UK syphilis cases between 1946 and 1955. Physicians ascribed this decrease to the direct effect of penicillin’s curative powers. Swift proactive implementation of this new medical treatment made all the difference. Meanwhile, Negroes involved in the government study in Tuskegee would go untreated for another thirty years. Additionally, their names were placed on a national "Do not treat" list, and they were denied military service and job opportunities. Families were devastated. Granddaddy ultimately died from gangrene. Granddaddy’s story is why I got involved in California's "Vaccinate All 58" initiative. I recognize the global importance of setting the record straight concerning the socalled, "Tuskegee Experiment." When African Americans today cite that study as justification for not receiving the potentially lifesaving COVID-19 vaccine, I'm baffled and perturbed. The quote "my people perish for lack of knowledge" still rings true today. My family, friends and their families have lived with the specter of that shocking study for over 90 years. We only wish that granddaddy and other victims

would have, could have "taken the shot.” Unfortunately, they were denied that opportunity. Not making treatment available to those Negro men was the core of the government's racist conspiracy. These men weren't injected with anything. And here we are today, the illfated "Tuskegee Experiment" still victimizing African Americans, ironically, for an entirely different reason. This time, we are our own worst enemies. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic that has disproportionally impacted Black lives, loud speaking, ill-informed individuals have emerged, claiming that the government is attempting to perpetrate another “Tuskegee Experiment” on our community. The scariest thing about that argument is that many of these people are highly intelligent, educated professionals who sound like they know what they're talking about. It's said that "everybody's ignorant, just on different subjects." Sadly, this group's unhealthy, aggressive ignorance is killing our people due to the blinding influence they wield over the naive. Historically, vaccinations and new medicines have been proven safe and effective. This explains why Negroes in Tuskegee's Jim Crow South, weren't offered the
effective, healing benefits of penicillin, the newly discovered medical remedy at the time. When the COVID-19 vaccine became available, it was initially administered to medical first responders. Once it was made widely available in our community, non-Black outsiders aggressively filled up appointment slots and steadily raised their community’s vaccination rates, while Black vaccination rates lagged behind. Something for naysayers to ponder. During this current COVID-19 pandemic, if we fail to respond to the urgent call to help ourselves by getting vaccinated, instead relying on harmful misinformation, then the legacy of the dreaded “Tuskegee Experiment" will claim countless more Black lives – all of which should matter.

Lifestyle/National News WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Senator Alex Padilla (D-Calif), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, called on Congress to pass the Women’s Health Protection Act following media reports of a draft Supreme Court opinion overturning the landmark Roe v.

must act now before it is too late. “Make no mistake: the legitimacy of the Supreme Court hangs in the balance. The Court’s power rests in the faith that the American people place in it. If Roe v. Wade is overturned, it’s hard to see how the American people can trust this Supreme Court to protect other fundamental rights." Senator Padilla is a cosponsor of the Women’s Health Protection Act, a bill that would guarantee access and the right to provide abortion services in the United States

“State Of The Air" Report Finds People Of Color Are 61% More likely To Live In Areas With Poor Air Quality
A mortgage built for you, because we’re close to you.
World/ Health News
That’s the power of the Human Interest Rate. TM
Nationwide (BlackNews. com) -- The 2022 “State of the Air” report, released earlier this month by the American Lung Association, finds that despite progress, an unacceptable number of Americans are still living in areas with poor air quality that could impact their health. Nearly 9 million more Americans are affected by deadly particle pollution than last year’s report; and the burden of air pollution is unevenly shared as communities of color continue to be disproportionately exposed to unhealthy air. The Lung Association’s 23rd annual air quality “report card” tracks and grades Americans’ exposure to unhealthy levels of short-term spikes in particle pollution (also known as soot), annual particle pollution, and ground-level ozone air pollution (also known as smog)
over a three-year period. “This year’s ‘State of the Air’ report shows an alarming number of people are living in areas with poor air quality that could impact their health. As a pulmonologist living in Southern California, I see first-hand the impacts of air pollution, and specifically particle pollution from wildfires, on my patients,” said Cedric "Jamie" Rutland, M.D., national volunteer medical spokesperson for the American Lung Association. “In addition, communities of color are disproportionately exposed to unhealthy air. The report found that people of color were 61% more likely than white people to live in a county with a failing grade for at least one pollutant, and 3.6 times as likely to live in a county with a failing grade for all three pollutants, which means more asthma that can be lifethreatening in children and adults.”
The report continues to show long-term improvement in the nation’s air quality thanks to decades of work to reduce emissions. However, this has been partially offset by the negative impacts of hotter, drier conditions caused by climate change. Wildfires in the western U.S. were responsible for a sharp rise in particle pollution spikes in several states. Overall, the report finds that 2.1 million more Americans live in counties with unhealthy air than in last year’s report, and exposure to deadly particle pollution has worsened. And people of color are also more likely to be living with one or more chronic conditions that make them more vulnerable to the health impact of air pollution, including asthma, diabetes, and heart disease.

Working Together in California to Decrease the Risks of Falls for Older Adults Through Fitness, Personalized Support By Dr. Daman Jamarai, Chief Medical Officer, UnitedHealthcare Medicare & Retirement of California Amanda Rees, CEO, Age Bold While we continue to study and gather data about the secondorder impacts of COVID-19, it is becoming clear that the pandemic exacerbated risk factors for falls among older adults like physical inactivity. For this reason, it is vital for older adults to know that support is available that can help reduce their risk for falls and improve their quality of life. Nearly 25 percent of ablebodied older adults in California is classified as physically inactive, putting them at increased risks for falls and disease, according to the 2021 America’s Health Rankings Senior Report. In California, 30.4 percent of adults aged 65 and older reported a fall in the past year, the reported showed.
Dr. Daman Jamara Falls present a more significant health threat than many realize, and, for older adults, they can take a serious toll on quality of life, independence, and overall wellbeing. While the risk of falls increases for older adults, falls are not a normal part of aging and pose a serious public health concern.
While contributing factors for falls like physical inactivity, obesity, and alcohol abuse were exacerbated by COVID-19, other risk factors include arthritis, poor balance and vision, certain medications, osteoporosis, certain disabilities and general frailty. Older adults with arthritis, a common driver of disability, are more than twice as likely to experience a fall. Recent data from the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) show falls are the No. 1 cause of injury and ER visits for adults age 65 and older. One in 4 older adults fall each year, costing more than $50 billion annually. continued on page 8

And that cost is projected to increase up to $100 billion by 2030. As a physician and a leader in healthy aging, we have each seen firsthand the impact of falls on both patients and loved ones. Falls too often lead to a cascade of health challenges and a decrease in quality of life. An older adult who suffers a fall may not be able to enjoy the same activities as before like gardening, sports, or other hobbies. To help address these challenges, Age Bold and UnitedHealthcare are working together in California to provide fitness programs at no additional cost for eligible UnitedHealthcare Medicare plan members and to raise awareness of risk factors for falls among older adults.
Proper exercise can reduce risks for falls among older adults by improving strength and balance. In addition to exercise, the CDC has helpful resources and tips for reducing risk for falls, including speaking openly with your physician, having your eyes and feet checked, and removing obstacles in the home that could pose a tripping hazard. COVID-19 caused a shift in consumer demand for flexible, simple, and convenient options to access healthcare and the resources to live a healthier life. It’s more important than ever that we come together to support the older adults in our communities with the resources they need to stay on their feet and maintain the quality of life they deserve.
