Ballou High Grad Faces Enviable Decision Black Men Debunk False Notions of ‘Absentee Dads’ Fathers Say Their Children Remain Their Top Priority By D. Kevin McNeir WI Editor @dkevinmcneir Black fathers tend to be viewed harshly – castigated by the press, politicians and sometimes, members of their very own communities, including the women in their lives. But as Father’s Day 2017 approaches, a “few good men” stand

resolutely, affirming that they remain on guard – loving, protecting, encouraging and raising their children. One minister in Richmond believes negative perceptions of Black men impact their ability to be good fathers. “Black fathers don’t get a fair shake when it comes to how we participate

History has been made in Ward 8 – an area in the District that’s both notoriously underserved and incredibly resilient. But that didn’t stop the 2017 Senior Class at Ballou High School, located in Southeast, from making a rare pact that they’d all apply to college – and every one of the 170 students remained true to their promise. And on Tuesday, June 13, as they donned their caps and gowns and received their diplomas they had additional good

Attorneys General Karl A. Racine of D.C. and Brian E. Frosh of Maryland announced Monday that they are suing President Donald Trump over his business dealings, claiming that foreign payments made to Trump's businesses are unconstitutional. The suit, which was filed in federal court Monday morning, alleges that the payments made to Trump's businesses violate anti-corruption clauses in the Constitution known as the Emoluments Clauses, which restricts members of the govern-

ment from receiving gifts from foreign states with the consent of the U.S. Congress. It centers on the fact that he chose to retain ownership of his company during his term as president, and has since accepted millions of dollars from foreign governments. Racine said Trump has not upheld his promises to separate his business dealings from the presidency, and Republican-controlled House of Representatives and Senate have "given the president a total pass on his business entanglements."

D.C. POLITICS

D.C.’s LGBTQ Community: ‘Unapologetically Proud’ The Capital Pride Parade kicked off on Saturday, June 10 in Northwest with the roar of Harley motorcycles and continued with loads of rainbow flags and multi-colored beads being pitched from vehicles into the crowd – from small utility vans to 16-wheelers. DC Mayor Muriel Bowser led her green team in the parade, followed by DC Councilmembers Chen, McDuffie, White, Gray, Grosso and Gray with members of their staffs. The long and winding parade showcased colorful banners, community churches, international floats and many local businesses. Rainbow was clearly the color of the day and was displayed on faces, suit lapels and scantily-clad celebrants. The three-day celebration, from June 8 – 11, featured parades, parties, concerts, pontificators – even those sporting pumps and plumes as hundreds of thousands of participants expressed support of the LGBTQ community. New York City resident John Young, 54, said about pride, “Same-gender-loving people, especially Blacks, continue to amaze me with their creativity and ability to enhance the community – to highlight the fact that we’re a fabulous people. Pride does not include elicit parties, all-night clubbing and definitely not fighting – it’s Umoja.” One couple from Richmond, Erica, 32 and Jackie, 24, had this to say: “Many of the people who come to Pride are not part of the LGBTQ community but they show up because they realize that we know how to have a good time. They don’t understand what Pride is all about or why we celebrate, why we’re happy and joyful. And while we all remember what happened a year ago in Orlando, we refuse to live in fear. We are determined to live our lives freely and in love.” WI /Photos by Roy Lewis Comments compiled by D. Kevin McNeir

Fired FBI Director James Comey testified that President Trump asked him to take it easy on the Russian investigation, arguably an impeachable offense.What do you think will come of Comey's testimony? MARIA LOGAN /

WASHINGTON, D.C.

I don't believe anything will come from his testimony.

BEN PARKS /

TAMPA, FLORIDA

Let me say, I admired Jim Comey for his testimony, but I was extremely disappointed about how the GOP, including John McCain, a former POW and presidential candidate, put their partisan politics above the Constitution of this country. It should be clear the Russians were intimately involved in swaying our national electoral process by "insiders" within the Trump campaign. Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server is not on the same level as the Russians' attempts to "knock" this country off the world stage as a political, social and moral leader among other nations. Today, I honestly believe we have taken the "first" step on a path toward "an event" that will shake this country to its very political, social, economic or constitutional foundation.

Comey should be commended for doing his job since Trump tried to convince him to end the Russian investigation. He knew what lying Trump was trying to do. Everyone that's worked with Comey says he's an upstanding, honest, truthful individual. He was the head of the FBI and refused to be bullied by Trump. How long will the other guy last

ATYRIA CLARK /

BALDWIN HILLS, CALIFORNIA

Nothing. I'm in court, doing my job and trying to earn money. Neither Comey or Trump are putting money in my pockets and from what I am hearing it's the typical BS that I thought it was going to be. It is not going to lead to Trump and his whole administration getting impeached, so I'm not interested.

The World According to Dominic “One Humble Teammate Can Make the Difference: Just Ask the Golden State Warriors” I am a diehard basketball fan, something that my late father instilled in me. It doesn’t matter whether the teams represent their high school, college or are in the pros. I just love the intensity of five-on-five showdowns, the screeching of tennis shows on hardwood floors, the reverberation of the referees’ whistles and the sound of the buzzer at game’s end when one team alone raises their hands in victory. Before the advent of digital televisions where you can now talk to your big screen device and command it to record and catalogue your favorite shows, I would take a week’s vacation from my Fortune 500 job just to watch the entire NCAA championship tournament so that I wouldn’t miss a single game. And yes, like the recent commercial featuring LeBron James that lampoons the good old days, I played basketball when the shorts for our uniforms looked more like hot pants than sports attire. On Monday, I watched the NBA Finals hoping that the Golden State Warriors would beat Cleveland and take their second

title in three years. They won. And I celebrated. But what really impressed me was the way Kevin Durant took his game into hyper-drive while at the same time supporting the other four players on the floor. That’s what being a team player is all about. Durant has taken a lot of heat since leaving his former team to join the Warriors. Some called him a sellout, a turncoat and things that

I’d rather not repeat. But I understood his decision. As he tells it, winning the NBA title has been his dream ever since he laced up his shoes and ran the courts in Seat Pleasant’s Activity Center in Prince George’s County. And after eight seasons in the trenches, carrying his team on his shoulders, Durant decided to share his gifts with a team that already had plenty of talent but needed one more piece. Durant was clearly the missing link that the Warriors required. And so, despite the amazing performances of Kyrie Irving, LeBron James and the rest, the Warriors – that is their team – proved too much for the Cavaliers. Even while accepting MVP honors and finally putting his hands on the trophy for which he has so long dreamed, it was clear that he didn’t want to stay in the spotlight for too long. He just wanted to keep participating in a sport that he loves. And he wants to play it with his teammates. Too bad more people don’t understand what Durant illustrated so succinctly in all five games of this year’s NBA finals – there’s no “I” in team. WI

‘Man Cave’ Prepares for Father’s Day Weekend Launch By Sam P.K. Collins WI Contributing Writer On the weekend of Father’s Day, a gathering space will affirm its reputation as a prominent community fixture by morphing into a “Man Cave,” created specifically for boys and men in the neighborhood seeking fun, comradery and genuine intergenerational connections. For Maureen Brown, a mother of six sons and longtime resident of Brightwood community in Northwest, the timing of the Man Cave event at Emery Heights Community Center couldn’t have been better. Brown, whose children have played team sports there, said the young men in her neighborhood, now more than ever, need a safe place where they can meet older, positive male figures. “I feel like a lot of the guys in their 20s don’t frequent Emery. The Man Cave event could give them a good perspective of what it’s about. I hope things like this could get the fathers involved. A lot of dads are absent because of neglect, incarceration, or just being killed on the street. It’s much different now.” Brown said. Two out of five young men in the Brightwood and Manor Park communities live without their father in the home, according to data collected by the Baltimore-based Annie E. Casey Foundation. While the lack of a male presence in the home has led to catastrophic outcomes in some cases, many young people have found mentors and father figures in the coaches at Emery who often impart life lessons on the field or court. The Man Cave event builds upon the offerings available to youth at Emery Heights including a football and baseball program. When community members enter the center Saturday, June 17, they’ll get to indulge in a variety of foods, courtesy of neighborhood restaurants, watch step shows and drill demonstrations, play in sports tournaments and hear short remarks from male community leaders. WHUR 96.3’s Tony Richards will give a keynote address. The event will kick off a series of follow-up gatherings and workshops, each focused on an aspect of the adolescent male experience. “This is an opportunity for fathers and sons to come together and give the fathers a place in the family. I want whatever male figures who are in these youth’s lives to be recognized,” said Craig Hughes, a veteran

recreation specialist at the D.C. Department of Parks and Recreation and a lead coordinator of Man Cave at Emery Heights. “The sports program [at Emery] has been phenomenal but sports are only one piece,” Hughes added. “We’re talking about mentoring and tutoring our youth. What kind of impact are we collectively making in our young men’s lives? Let’s help them navigate through life and see what’s coming as they get older.” In addition to the D.C. Department of Parks & Recreation, community partners include: Nation of Islam Mosque #4, Metropolitan Police Department, D.C. Commission of Fathers, Men, and Boys, Ward 4 D.C. Council member Brandon Todd’s office and ANC Commissioner Krystal Branton (Single Member District 4D05), the mind behind Man Cave. At the beginning of the year, Branton reached out to Emery Heights about housing the Man Cave program. “Each year, we have Father’s Day, but it’s not as celebrated or popular. This would be a great time to have Man Cave. Men gather and have their spaces in the basement or shed. It’s relatable and men take pride in it,” Branton said during an ANC monthly meeting that addressed how youth are frequently overlooked in the pockets of development taking place across Ward 4. “Their space is to be open and honest like a barbershop. It’s symbolic and gives us a chance to gather those who don’t have anyone to spend Father’s Day with. It’s a way to start a great community tradition. We don’t have anything like this in Ward 4 that I know of and the reception from the community is enormous. Folks are willing to donate their time and resources and that’s greatly needed,” Branton added. The Man Cave event will take place between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Saturday, June 17 at Emery Heights Community Center (5801 Georgia Avenue NW).

5 D.C. Attorney General Karl A. Racine (right) and Maryland Attorney General Brian E. Frosh hold a press conference in Northwest, Monday, June 12. The attorneys general announced a lawsuit alleging that President Trumpâ€™s continued business entanglements violate the emoluments clauses of the U.S. Constitution and "threaten to cause continuing injury to Maryland and the District." /Photo by E. Watson/EDI TRUMP from Page 1 Despite promises to divest himself from his global empire as president, Trump maintained ownership of his many businesses, saying that he has handed control to his two oldest sons and has moved his assets into a trust during his time in office. "We are a nation of laws, and no one, including the president of the United States, is above the law," Racine said. "State attorneys general are serving as a necessary check and balance in the Trump era where others fail." The complaint claims that businesses owned by Trump divert business from D.C. and Maryland's government facilities, thus financially and economically harming them. It also states their governments are pressured to provide Trump businesses with permits and tax breaks to receive necessary federal funding. "We don't know the extent of the [Trump's] business dealings, and that's a problem," Racine said. The two attorneys general said Saudi Arabian officials have already spent hundreds of thousands at the new Trump International Hotel, which rests just blocks from the White House, and that Trump's businesses collect fees from foreign governments including China, India and Qatar, which own property at Trump Tower and Trump World Tower. Frosh alleged that Trump has

Racine DC Attorney General used his position as the president to market his brands and raise the profiles of his businesses by making frequent appearances and hosting foreign diplomats and officials at his many Trump establishments. He pointed out that Trump's Florida Mar-a-Lago resort fees doubled to $200,000 after Trump took office and that the president's resorts have been promoted on the State Department and embassy websites. "We do not sue the president of the United States casually," Frosh said. "It's unprecedented that the American people have to question, day after day whether decisions or actions are taken to benefit the United States or to benefit Donald Trump."

exactly what constitutes an emolument. The U.S. Department of Justice has already struck down a similar lawsuit. It moved on June 9 to dismiss a similar lawsuit filed in January by the government watchdog organization Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW). In a brief, it argued that the clauses did not apply to fair-market commercial transactions. White House press secretary Sean Spicer said the White House would also move to dismiss the most recent case, calling the lawsuit a product of "partisan politics." "The suit was filed by two Democratic attorney generals," he said. "The suit challenges the sort of business transactions that...others have engaged in while in office."Pritzker served as former President Barack Obama's secretary of commerce. Racine and Frosh said they would like the lawsuit to be bipartisan and would welcome Republican attorneys general in other states to join. Trump has 60 days to respond to the motion. WI

to get many of our officials to listen — I want to know if that is true," said state Sen. C. Anthony Muse (D-District 26), who led the discussion. "We will go back and [work on] proposed changes and we will work toward those changes. We want to have a record just in case we move to other levels of getting things done and making things happen." Those at the stakeholder meeting at Southern Friendship Missionary Baptist Church had other concerns.

ers fear retaliation for speaking out against administrators. Others in attendance also showed support to school board member Edward Burroughs III (District 8) regarding disputes over high school graduations at the Show Place Arena in Upper Marlboro. According to a letter dated June 5 from Burroughs and four colleagues — Juwan Blocker (student member), David Murray (District 1), Raaheela Ahmed (District 5) and Beverly Anderson (at-large) — he was prohibited by Deputy Superintendent Monique Davis from giving his allotted time to two Oxon Hill High School seniors to speak in his place during the May 31 graduation ceremonies. The next day at Potomac High's commencement, Burroughs was denied access to a backdoor entrance designated for platform guests to take the stage at the arena. Burroughs recorded a video posted on YouTube (http://bit. ly/2r33Fi2) that shows him being told by police he can enter through the main entrance with the public, but if he attempted to use the backstage entrance, he'd be arrested for trespassing. When Burroughs asked who wouldn't allow him to enter, a police officer replied, "school security." His colleagues, according to the letter, demand the two Oxon Hill seniors and Burroughs receive a public apology. Burroughs addressed the more than 100 people in attendance at the church Thursday, June 8.

"People wonder why myself, David Murray are so vocal. Why do we say these things so openly? Why can't you work out things behind the scenes?" he said. "You can work out things behind the scenes if you are dealing with people in good faith behind the scenes." In regard to the graduations, the school system released a statement last week briefly explaining that speakers are notified in advance and changes to a program cannot be made the day of a ceremony. "Security staff allows no one — including board members, school system staff or family members — on stage or backstage during a graduation ceremony unless their name is on the authorized list," the statement read. "At no time did Dr. Maxwell instruct anyone to arrest Mr. Burroughs." Meanwhile, public outcry is growing against the county executive being allowed to appoint members to the school board, including the chair and vice chair. State legislation to restructure the board was approved in the House, but didn't make it out the Senate this year. When lawmakers reconvene in Annapolis in January, Muse said he will write a law to require all school board members to be elected, not appointed. "If you have someone who's making the appointments and they are not consulting you, then you end up having the problems that we have," he said. "You can't even hold them accountable." Another discussion will take place Monday, June 19 at City of Praise Family Ministries in Landover. WI

Students Receive Free Bikes, Helmets for Perfect Attendance By William J. Ford WI Staff Writer @jabariwill Children are often told by adults that going to school every day not only will enrich their minds, but could also result in tangible gifts in the future. That future arrived Thursday, thanks to Tischer Acura of Laurel, which donated new bicycles and helmets to 166 seventh-grade students at Dwight D. Eisenhower Middle School for achieving perfect attendance this school year. "We've never had this many kids at the entire school … with perfect attendance," said Ronald Dortch, president of the school's parent teacher student association. "It is great. We did the count three times just to make sure we didn't make a mistake." Twin sisters Hilce and Hilea Herring, 13, walked onstage during the special assembly to pick out their bikes, carried

them off the stage, stood by their father to inspect them and smiled. "I'm very proud of them," said their father, Hilton Herring. "It's like Christmas in the summer." Because of the overwhelming number of students who maintained perfect attendance at the school this year, vouchers were given Thursday to claim a bike free of charge at a local WalMart. Tischer's contribution totaled almost $16,000, which dealership owner Danny Sauro said was money well-spent. "Rather than just writing a check, we came up an idea that would make a difference," Sauro said to the students inside the cafeteria. "In business, you have to structure for expenses so I put away money to buy [about 60] bikes. I was excited and happy and surprised to see that 166 of you made a good

Building a Regional Wealth Economy

The Washington Metropolitan Region is one of the fastest growing jurisdictions in the country. Montgomery County has a lucrative tech corridor, Alexandria, Virginia has a considerable density of Fortune 500 companies, Washington, DC has expansive redevelopment projects & Prince George’s County is the envy of hospitality and health industries. The region is booming! In Prince George’s County, for example, over 10 billion dollars of projects are expected within the next ten years. Developers, construction companies and other business interests’ are flocking to this region. At question, who will have access to these great wealth opportunities? Will the region’s municipal governments exercise leadership and look within to build wealth; or will the region only attract national firms to construct its trophy case? Perhaps, the question shouldn’t be framed as either or; but inherently, in order to build a sustainable regional economy, access must be given to local entrepreneurs. For far too long, local business has been left out of the regional wealth enterprise. Many of these businesses cite their long commitment to local revenue generation, contribution to local non-profits, and hiring locally; yet, when big projects come to fruition, they are out of consideration.

Many loyal members of the Prince George’s Chamber of Commerce have heard firsthand accounts of proposal deadlines met and proposals declined. Over taxing, bureaucratic barriers, unreasonable deadlines & insufficient coaching are some of the obstacles for winning any opportunities. This must change! Legislation enacted in Prince George’s County can have a far reaching impact in the region. Council Bill 74, Jobs First Act would require, at least, 40% of all public procurement to local companies. This bill is a game changer for local business and its execution is essential for sustaining business and increasing local employment. The Prince George’s Chamber of Commerce applauds Council Bill 74 and looks forward to its full implementation. The Chamber will work with County government in reaching the bill’s objective and is willing to draft a case study so that other regional municipalities follow suit. Let’s build an economy that is inclusive and awards local investment. Not a member? Please visit our website, www.pgcoc.org or drop by for a visit to get started!

BUSINESS Norton: Black Businesses Will Survive Mister Trump By Lauren Poteat WI Contributing Writer Though the nation's capital has already seen a 40 percent increase in the number of black-owned businesses, D.C. Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton says that minority-owned businesses still have the opportunity to do "even better." Norton, who is readying for her annual Small Business Fair aimed at teaching small minority-owned companies the ropes, emphasized the significance of the June 15 event and her overall commitment to black-owned

businesses. "Black-owned businesses are not asleep," Norton said. "They are increasing their participation at record rates, and one of the things that really intrigues me the most is the 40 percent increase in black-owned [businesses] and the 21 percent increase in Hispanic-owned businesses. "What this means is that black business owners are progressively taking advantage of the burgeoning D.C. economy," she said. "The District has displacement issues, but when it comes to business,

that's all positive and it is a major part of my agenda." Though some critics worry that minority-owned businesses may struggle under the Trump administration, Norton said that minority-owned businesses â€” blacks in particular â€” will continue to thrive. "Black entrepreneurs have understood that this is the time to get business in D.C.," Norton said. "I have no question about black-owned businesses in D.C. competing. Fortunately, Trump doesn't have much to do with that. It really has to do with the local economy, which is booming." "Our Small Business of the Year will be a black business," she added. Our Small Business of the Year last year was not only a black business person, but a young man who had learn how to do HVAC while at the bureau of prisons and he came out and started his own HVAC business that is so successful." During the fair at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, participants will take part in learning about new small business administration initiatives, government procurement, developing business plans and strategy and the importance of technology in business development. Businesses owners will also be able to receive information about credit building and financial re-

sources, two topics Norton says that business owners should be really excited about. "This is why we have the small business fair. ... We want our small businesses to learn the ropes and we have what amounts to an encyclopedia of experts to come and offer it,"

she said. "Black-owned businesses in D.C. have been very successful compared to where they were. We want to keep this going â€” we have a booming economy here and we want to make sure they take full advantage of it." WI

erced and uncompensated labor totals more than $14 trillion in today's money. Yet, African-Americans will continue yielding to the empty symbolism of Obama as president rather than being in the vanguard of a movement to be paid just reparations. Not matter how "integrated" you get in American society, blacks must never forget our ancestors' endurance of one of human history's worst experiences in human history. Don't forget the inheritance that every American benefits from, created by blacks' free, involuntary labor. Contemporary Juneteenth celebrants range from The Black Land and Liberation Initiative to institutional sponsors such as the Smithsonian and the Henry Ford Museum. The number of cities and states creating Juneteenth committees is growing. Getting involved and supporting Juneteenth celebrations creates new bonds of friendship and understanding among us. The National Juneteenth Observance Foundation is working to gain Congressional approval to desig-

nate Juneteenth a national day of observance. By 2008, nearly half of U.S. states observed the holiday as a ceremonial observance. As of 2016, 45 U.S. states and the District of Columbia recognize Juneteenth as a state or ceremonial holiday, or as a day of observance. Let's use the concept of Juneteenth to start a tradition of empowerment. Annually, we need to come together and retrace roots to ancestors who were held in illegal bondage, as we exchange artifacts and stress responsibility to strive for legislation of recompense. Juneteenth today celebrates African-American freedom and achievement, while encouraging continuous self-development. Let's use Juneteenth is a time for assessment, self-improvement and planning. Mature black families across the country are joining hands to truthfully acknowledge a period in our history that shaped and continues to influence us today. We cannot win being estranged. Blacks must come together to make significant and lasting achievements. WI

Happy Juneteenth

by William Reed What are you and your family doing to celebrate Juneteenth this year? "Juneteenth" is worthy of contemplation and memorial. The word is a portmanteau of "June" and "-teenth" and symbolizes the legacy of injustices done Blacks in this country. It honors African-American heritage by commemorating the announcement of the abolition of slavery in Texas in 1865. Blacks should begin special activities on or about June 19 each year. June 19, 1865, is when the last slaves in America were freed. Juneteenth is a date for African-Americans to recognize and organize to collectively expose truths

about the African-American slave experience and aftermath. Consider celebrating your lineage. The question is: who do you think you are? Cultural identity is part of one's self-perception and is related to nationality, ethnicity, religion, social class, generation, locality or any kind of social group's own distinct culture. Juneteenth is important to African-Americans because it can bring a sense of togetherness celebrating the anniversary of the end of slavery. All blacks should have active involvement in Juneteenth. Such actions will represent: remembering our history and a movement to bring friends and neighbors together to reflect, learn from each other and grow together. Don't forget where you came from. It's imperative that African-Americans start unabashedly appreciating our ancestors' contributions and constantly reminding the world of the trillions of unpaid dollars owed us. Generations of black slaves financed the growth of

the world's greatest power. Though "the Debt" is still alive and real, slavery conjures up negative images for blacks so much so we fail to realize the economic contributions we made to the United States' development into a world power. This lack of realization stems from too many in our race's shame of slavery and concomitant national denial both blacks and whites have bought into. Through their shame of slavery, African-Americans continue to let the debt we are owed to linger instead of steadfastly demanding payment. It's time we acknowledge that blacks have been robbed from the outset. And, have important discussions about issues based on race that persists. The election of the first black president never nullified racial grievances, nor bridged racial differences or erased racial animosities. In reality, racial attitudes in politics have become more fraught with denials of racism and reverse racism as a subterfuge of resentment and prejudice. Calculations of our ancestors' co-

ATTENDANCE from Page 13 decision. You made some really good choices and I’m proud of you." Josephine Dallas couldn't take a bike home for her son, Daniel Pearson, 13, because he needs one higher than 26 inches. That didn't bother Daniel. "I'm going to camp and will be riding my new bike in the summer," said Daniel, who likes to eat watermelon and green beans to keep healthy. "I set a mindset that [perfect attendance] is something I wanted to achieve. I can achieve something if I try hard and do what I'm supposed to do." According to Prince George's County Public Schools' bylaws, students receive attendance credit even when they arrive late or leave early for a doctor's appointment, student illness or other reasons deemed appropriate by a principal. The school system lists a variety of student benefits of good attendance such as higher grades, increased self-respect and more college and post-secondary education options. State law not only mandates school attendance for children ages 5 to 16, but parents and guardians could be fined for students consistently absent. Thursday's assembly at the school of 940 students targeted the seventh-grade class, said Eisenhower Principal John Mangrum, who added that group of roughly 350 students is the largest segment of the school's student population at 37 percent. Various data and studies cite middle school as one of most difficult phases for students, specifically seventh-graders as they learn to become more independent and socially accepted by their peers. Mangrum praised the parents, teachers and staff that helped shatter the school's perfect-attendance record by more than 100 students. "Seventh-grade year is that transitional year. You see a lot of struggles in student development, so this was definitely a great incentive for them," he said. "They come into the building and want to be here every day. They just need the guidance and love and support that educators are trying to give them every single day." WI

NATIONAL Cosby Faces Abyss Alone as Trial Winds Down

By Stacy M. Brown WI Senior Writer

While both sides in the Bill Cosby trial anxiously await the jury's decision, it's become apparent that black Hollywood — and possibly black America — has already made up its mind. From the preliminary hearings to jury selection and right up to trial, notably absent were those whom Cosby had been so generous to over the

years and have directly and otherwise benefited from the icon, who opened doors and broke down barriers for a host of African-American comedians and entertainers. Even the civil rights community, some of whom rallied in support of fallen stars O.J. Simpson and Michael Jackson, has abandoned Cosby. "Marc Morial, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton. None of those guys..." said Cosby spokesman Andrew Wyatt, his voice trailing off in near disbelief.

Attempts to reach those individuals for comment were unsuccessful. Cosby, 79, faces up to 30 years in prison if convicted of the sexual assault charges against him. He's accused of drugging and assaulted former Temple University employee

Andrea Constand in 2004. While the charges are heinous, the evidence presented at trial so far appear to have shown nothing more than a "dirty old man," a serial adulterer who carried on with a younger woman. From her own testimony — at least the first 20 minutes or so on direct examination from prosecutors — Constand described what sounded like a classic courtship: numerous dinners and phone conversations; him expressing interest in her life; exchanging of gifts; enjoying cognac, lighting incense and sitting by a fire; and Cosby repeatedly making passes at her. Ultimately, Constand alleged that Cosby plied her with pills — which she never questioned what they were and took without any pressure to help her relax — and fondled her breasts and private parts. The talk of Quaaludes, which had dominated press coverage during the months leading up to the trial, finally emerged at the end of the prosecution's case. However, the pills given to Constand by Cosby appear to be Benadryl, according to testimony that's been provided throughout the prosecution's case, including Cosby's statements to police. Authorities forwarded to a crime lab the pills Cosby had voluntarily provided and confirmed that they were Benadryl. Still, prosecutors attempted to sway the jury into believing the pills were Quaaludes, calling an expert to try and make the connection. Each day, Cosby has entered court with Wyatt, his attorneys, his tour manager and a small gathering of friends, some from Temple University. Keshia Knight Pulliam, who played Rudy on "The Cosby Show," appeared on the first day while actress Sheila Frazier and comedian Joe Torry have also come to the Norristown courthouse.

Torry said he wanted to see for himself what was going on. "At least I can say I came here and heard for myself and not let what I read in mainstream media or see on television tell me what's going on," Torry said. "I see what's going on." Others have not. The trial has been devoid of those who have in some way benefited from Cosby. Comedians and actors who came after him or worked directly with Cosby, such as Eddie Murphy, Will Smith, Martin Lawrence, Sinbad and the Wayans family, have been absent. Former co-stars such as John Amos, Sidney Poitier and Harry Belafonte also are missing. Basketball coaches like John Chaney have not appeared or have seemingly failed to even reach out to the comedian, who has regularly used his fame and wealth to help others. After his only son was murdered in 1997, Cosby started the Hello Friend/ Ennis William Cosby Foundation to help provide money so that disadvantaged youths could go to school. He has supported the Children's Miracle Network, Jackie Robinson Foundation, Jesse Jackson's Operation Push, Jumpstart, Keep a Child Alive, Airlift Research Foundation, Bob Woodruff Foundation and many other charitable organizations. Cosby also supported and enjoyed membership with the United Negro College Fund, NAACP, Operation PUSH and the Sickle Cell Foundation. He's earned eight Grammy awards for best comedy album; four Emmy awards; NAACP Image Award; Golden Globe Award; four People's Choice awards; Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Hall of Fame inductee, 1994; Kennedy Center Awards Honoree, 1998; People's Choice Award for Favorite All-Time Television Star, 1999; People's Choice Award for Favorite Male Performer in a New Television Series, 1997; Image Award for Outstanding Performance in a Youth or Children's Series/Special for: Little Bill, 2001; Presidential Medal of Freedom, 2002; Bob Hope Humanitarian Emmy Award, 2003. In 1998, Cosby was among five performers who were saluted at the Kennedy Center Honors in D.C. A ceremony was held at the Kennedy Center and was attended by President and Mrs. Clinton. In her remarks, which were quoted in Jet, Phylicia Rashad praised her friend and television co-star. "It doesn't take a lot of intelligence to put people down, but it takes Bill's intelligence, his sensibility, and his grace to embrace the whole world with care and to uplift it with laughter," she said. In Norristown, the laughter has stopped. Cosby stands accused, tried and alone. "He's strong. He's OK," Wyatt said. WI

London's Avril's Walks and Talks, a cultural group that explores African Caribbean history, recently gave way to a "Tottenham African Caribbean History Walk" that explored British history from a black perspective. The Sunday, June 11 event involved a two-hour tour that took participants from the 1550s up to today, highlighting topics such as wartime Britain, the industrialization of black hair, black comedy and police relations in that area. "Avril's Walks and Talks will take you on personal guided tours around London that will show and tell you about these areas, buildings, statues, etc.," the organization posted on its website. "Areas such as Trafalgar Square, Westminster Abbey, Cleopatra's Needle etc., all have a strong connection to African Caribbean history — but that's just the central London sights. Imagine how much history there is in the other boroughs around London."

HEALTH Teen Entrepreneur Shines Light on Mental Health Apparel Company Gives Back

By Sarafina Wright WI Staff Writer Jay Rodriguez, a 17-year-old who once suffered from anxiety and depression, wants to use his apparel company to give back to mental health organizations in the areas that need it the most. The Maryland-based company, Faceless Legend, announced Wednesday, May 31 it would do-

nate 50 percent of sales from its "The Faceless Tee" collection to U.S. mental health organizations that provide direct support and resources to urban communities. The first edition of the screen-printed T-shirt — available in black and white — features the iconic hip hop duo of Kid 'n Play with the brand's signature blurred face. "Faceless Legend was birthed

out of my own struggle with depression and anxiety," Rodriguez said. "I would take a notebook and sort of just zone out, not even thinking that anyone would actually see what was inside of this book one day. "Things eventually got really bad and I was admitted to a mental health facility," he said. "I remember sitting there surrounded by kids from different backgrounds who had been in this facility for weeks — in some cases they'd been there for months — and it hit me that what I was experiencing was bigger than just me and that I wanted to do something." According to the Health and Human Services Office of Minority Health, African-Americans are 20 percent more likely to experience serious mental health problems than the general population. Rodriguez asserts that studies also show creative therapy has proven effective in improving both mental and physical health. Through partnerships with various organizations, Faceless Legend seeks to provide creative outlets and resources for patients to express themselves while on the road to recovery.

"We're all born with this innate desire to express ourselves but it takes a certain level of confidence to push past the doubt and fear of what others may think," Rodriguez said. "The legends that have and will continue to inspire the collection are all 'Faceless' not only because it's the name of the brand but to encourage

people to focus less on what these individuals look like and more on what these individuals have created through the adversity they've faced." "The Faceless Tee" collection is available for retail purchase at www.FacelessLegend.com in unisex sizes small to xxl. WI

HEALTH because we believe it’s crucial to our community.” Hillard Wheeler, 55, a program manager for a government contractor and father of three, lives in Camp Springs and says he had a great role model – his father. “He was present every minute of my life. In fact, all the Black men I’ve known were in their homes for their wives and their children. We have to

knock down that stereotype about Black fathers not caring and not being there,” said Wheeler adding that he’s been happily married to his wife Monica for 23 years. Jesse Jackson, a school superintendent in Lake Wales, Florida says he’s discovered untold joy by hanging out with his three teenaged children. “It's about positive relationships, effective communication and being

perceptive parents,” said Jackson who commutes close to five hours from his job so he can join his family in Tallahassee. “And understand this: that the struggles fathers face are not limited to race. I see just as many of my white or Asian friends going the same things. But we all do the best we can for our children. That’s what being a real father is all about.” WI

FATHERS from Page 1 in our children’s lives because for the most part, America believes that Black fathers are not present,” said the Rev. Gregory King, Sr., pastor of Broomfield Christian Methodist Church [CME] in Richmond. King, 63, a social justice activist who previously pastored a CME congregation in Alexandria, raised two children as a single father. “There’s a presumption that most Black families are headed by single Black females,” said King, the father of two sons, 42 and 38. “But I believe most Black families are headed by a Black male. We just don’t appreciate or pay attention to it. And until the media and the culture of this country can look at Black men as people like they look at white men, there will always be this divide that assumes that a Black man is guilty of a crime or is doing something negative [that impedes the ability to be a good father].” “To be a good father means a man is a nurturing and caring parent to his child. It doesn’t mean that he’s the one who fathered a child,” King said. “It means he’s the one who cares for their child. I think that more now than ever, we have Black men who do just as well taking on the role of father to children who are not biologically theirs with great success and without compromising their values.” Capitol Heights resident Renaud Scott, 31, married and the father of two young children, 7 and 3, describes being a responsible dad as his “duty,” and recalls how pushing a stroller elicited unexpected comments. “My daughter was walking with me at the mall and my son was in his stroller and I received numerous compliments, like I was doing something strange or rare,” Scott said. “It’s my duty, my job – the compliments simply weren’t expected. I think society and dare I say it, even Black women, often doubt that a Black man can and will do what needs to be done.”

“My father wasn’t there – he was a dealer turned user – but I had other role models: uncles, men in my church like Brother Malone, later on my grandfather. That made a huge difference for me because I learned how to conduct myself as a man, a father and a productive member of my community. I learned that what matters most is to be there for our children. It’s love and action that will help them become better people,” Scott said. So, what’s going on this Father’s Day? Plenty, says Ward 5 resident and activist Frank Malone, 67, who founded The 100 Fathers, Inc. in 2000. He’s teamed up with Tyrone Parker, executive director of the Alliance of Concerned Men to form the DC Fatherhood Coalition. The Coalition will sponsor events June 15 – 18 that include: a Youth Speak; a Panel of Fatherhood Experts on Capitol Hill; Breakfast with Dad; and a Blessing of the Fathers with Fathers of the Year Awards. [visit www.100fathers.org for additional info or call 202-3610716]. Malone says securing additional resources would go a long way in helping young fathers get off to the right foot. “We’re holding these activities this weekend because we know how important it is to step up, show up and speak up in the lives of our families,” he said. “Fathers need to know they really do make a difference in their children’s lives. It’s not about how much money you can give – it’s how much love you share.” “Most of the latest data shows that Black fathers are among the most caring of all dads. But we need resources to address our economic, emotional and psychological selves. We need encouragement, we need leadership from older men, more successful men. And change is coming – it’s seen in examples over and over from all across the U.S. There’s no silver bullet. We work on behalf of fathers, young and old, each day,

City Activates Hate-Crime Protocol By Tatyana Hopkins WI Staff Writer District officials announced recently that the city's hate crime protocols have been activated and they are keeping their eyes open for bias-related incidents amid a spate of such offenses. In recent week, nooses appeared around the District, including at a construction site, near a Southeast elementary school, and even on the National Mall at the Hishhorn and National African-American History and Culture museums. In the Southwest quadrant, fake U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement flyers titled "Sanctuary City Neighborhood Public Notice" circulated, urging residents to turn in undocumented neighbors. The incidents are still under investigation, and city officials said there will be ongoing efforts to address such matters. "Our diversity is what makes

us stronger, and we will not relent in promoting and defending D.C. values," said Mayor Muriel Bowser in a statement addressing the nooses found around the city. "We do not take these incidents lightly, and we will not accept that signs of hate are signs of our time. We are an inclusive city, and we do not tolerate signs of hate, ignorance and fear." Bowser also announced that she instructed the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) to investigate the incidents, its Office of Human Rights (OHR) to activate the city's hate crimes protocol, and the Mayor's Office of Religious Affairs (MORA) to engage faith leaders to be a resource for residents. The hate-crimes protocol was developed when officials noticed a slight uptick in the number of hate-based crimes being reported to MPD. It requires about 10 directors of city agencies to report bias-based incidents to high-level city officials alert and formulate a response. "When one of us gets a response from the other, we know imme-

diate response and action is required, and we drop everything. We figure out what is needed from what group," said OHR Director Monica Palacios. OHR, MORA, and the mayor's offices on LGBTQ, Latino, African and Asian and Pacific Islander affairs are listed as agencies residents can contact for additional resources and support. "Each incident is different and requires a different response," said Rev. Thomas Bowen, MORA director. He said some responses may rely on cleanup by the city's Department of Public Works and community engagement, while others may require a quieter response to avoid copycat offenses. City officials urge residents to report bias-motivated crimes, even if they are not sure a crime has been committed. "What we want the public to know is calling 911 is always the right response," Palacios said. Residents may also report crimes to MPD at 202-727-9090 or by texting 50411. WI

HEALTH

Men’s Health: Tips for a Long Life Submitted by AmeriHealth Caritas District of Columbia Men can be tough, rugged, and independent — all good things. But these traits can increase the chance of developing serious health issues. Statistically, men are also more likely than women to smoke, drink, and make unhealthy life choices. The good news is that it is never too late to start caring about your well-being. National Men’s Health Week is June 12 – 18, and it is the perfect time to find out how you can improve your life. Learning about men’s health concerns today can help you to live a better tomorrow.

HEART DISEASE

The number 1 cause of death for men in the United States is heart disease. Coronary artery disease, a type of heart disease, is the main cause of heart attacks and the biggest concern. Certain health factors and lifestyles can increase your chance of developing heart disease, such as: • Smoking • High blood pressure • High cholesterol

• Unhealthy diet • Diabetes • Obesity • Drinking too much alcohol Half of Americans have at least one of these risk factors. The good news is that you have control. Living a healthy lifestyle with a good diet, regular exercise, and no alcohol or tobacco may help reduce your risk of heart disease. Your primary care provider (PCP) can give you more advice to help you lower your risk.

don’t show symptoms. That’s why it is important to understand your options for screenings. Screenings are the only way to know if you have prostate cancer, but make sure you understand how each screening may affect you. Starting at age 40, a man should talk to his PCP about prostate cancer. Ask about the pros and cons of each type of screening. After talking with your PCP, you can decide if testing is right for you.

PROSTATE CANCER

Most men have a low chance of developing the testicular cancer. But for those who get the disease, it can be very serious. Less than 1 percent of men will get it in their lifetimes, but for young men ages 20 – 34, it is the most common cancer. Treatments for testicular cancer have a high success rate. The key is finding it early. Men can perform a self-exam to check their testicles for any signs of cancer. Look out for things like: • Lumps • Pain in the testicles • Swelling in the testicles • A change in the size or feel of the testicles If you have questions about performing a self-exam, or find some-

Prostate cancer is a disease that affects a man’s prostate gland. It is the most common cancer among men in America after skin cancer. It is also the second leading cause of cancer death in men. Most cases of prostate cancer are diagnosed in men ages 65 – 74. It is rarely found in men under the age of 45. All men can develop the disease, but African American men are at a higher risk than men of other races. Some signs of prostate cancer include: • Difficulty urinating • Painful urination • Lower back pain Many men with prostate cancer

thing that concerns you, contact your PCP right away.

HELPING YOUR HEALTH

Good health starts with taking care of yourself. That means eating a healthy diet and exercising at least two days a week. Going to regular checkups will also help you to stay on track. Visit your PCP and dentist as directed to maintain your health and catch any issues early. Creating healthy habits while young may reduce the chance of developing conditions later in life. That’s why you should talk to your sons, nephews, and grandsons now about how to live well. Teach them how to follow a good diet and en-

courage them in sports and exercise. And, most importantly, make sure to take your own advice. By taking care of yourself, you will not only improve your own life, you will also show your family how to improve theirs. If you are an AmeriHealth Caritas District of Columbia member who wants to improve your health but don’t know where to start, our Care Coaches can help. Just call Member Services at 1-800-408-7511.

EDUCATION School Segregation Still a Major American Problem By Stacy M. Brown WI Senior Writer A new analysis by the Center for American Progress, which examined 1,700 large public school districts across the country, shows that public schools are in as much need of integration today as they were 100 years ago. The report finds that millions of students attend highly segregated schools, with four out of 10 U.S. public school districts experiencing intense economic isolation. A two-year research project, CAP's report examines class-based economic segregation across the nation, and it features a new interactive data tool that generates "segregation scores" for most large urban districts in all 50 states, covering 60 percent of the student population. The report also examined public opinion on this issue. Using survey data and focus groups, the report finds that the public underestimates the problem of economic segregation in schools.

22 JUNE 15 - 21, 2017

While Americans believe that school diversity issues exist, they are not fully aware of how pervasive the problem is, according to Ulrich Boser and Perpetual Baffour, the report's authors. "At a time when President Donald Trump has used divisive rhetoric to threaten many of the bonds that hold modern Americans together, public schools can serve as critical space to bring people closer to teach and embrace the nation's diversity. This report outlines and encourages policies to move our educational system to a place where it reflects the country as a whole," said Boser, senior fellow at CAP. "The report comes at a time when a wave of research shows that students perform better in diverse classrooms," he said in a news release. According to the report, most Americans are not aware of these shared benefits of diverse schools. Nonetheless, support for reform remains high. According to the report, 70 percent of Americans support the economic integration of schools. "Class-based segregation remains

deeply entrenched in the educational system despite public support for more diverse schools," said Baffour, research associate at CAP. "It's time for local, state and federal leaders to tackle the pervasive and insidious problem of segregation." CAP's report profiles a variety of policy solutions for federal, state, local, and district leaders, from weighted student lotteries to innovative housing policies. The report also finds that parents believe in school diversity in theory, but they generally reject policies that limit the educational options for their child. The report calls for policymakers to be more innovative in their approach to solving the problem of income segregation in schools. CAP's report focuses on economic segregation rather than racial segregation as a result of a growing number of schools and districts that have integrated based on students' socioeconomic status rather than by race or ethnicity. Part of this shift is a result of a Supreme Court opinion limiting the use of race and ethnicity in school integration plans. The District has one of the nation's highest-quality preschool programs but it's also segregated. A separate published report noted that, in the 2013-14 school year, 86 percent of the city's black pre-K students attended what experts call "racially isolated" schools where fewer than 10 percent of students are white. For the 2016-17 school year, the waiting list for D.C. pre-K classes skyrocketed into the thousands. More than 4,000 preschoolers were on waiting lists in traditional and public charter schools.

THE WASHINGTON INFORMER

White 3- and 4-year-olds represent 15 percent of pre-K students in D.C. in the current school year, up from 11 percent in 2013-14. The black and Hispanic shares dropped slightly over the same period. Most of D.C.'s black pre-K students attended schools where the African-American share of enrollment was 90 percent or higher, although school officials point out that the city has one of the nation's highest concentrations of black residents, the report said. Nearly two-thirds of the city's Hispanic preschoolers also attended racially isolated nonwhite schools. The District also has the nation's highest overall enrollment rate of both 3- and 4-year-olds in pre-K: 84 percent of 4-year-olds and 70 percent of the city's 3-year-olds attend public preschool, according to the D.C. Office of the State Superintendent of Education, which monitors the programs. Those figures don't include children who attend private preschools. A majority of D.C. pre-K students — nearly 6,700 — attend charter schools. More than 5,900 of them attend traditional public schools, and about 600 attend community-based child care centers, according to city data confirmed by the DCPS and the D.C. Public Charter School Board. "This is a reality that is not simply fixed by a single law. What we should be looking at and deconstructing are the ways in which segregation of schools de facto have continued to grow over the decades since Brown v. Board of Education in 1954," said Allen E. Lipscomb of the College of Social & Behavioral Science at California State University, Northridge. "We need

to look at how economic segregation and institutional racism in the United States promotes privileges within and outside of school systems whereby providing an avenue for school segregation to continue. We must be passionately committed to not allow history repeat itself. Thus ensuring all education related laws be overt in eliminating and mitigating school segregation." There have been some limited gains in integration, and increasingly a serious amount of backsliding, said Michael W. Apple, a John Bascom Professor of Curriculum and Instruction and Educational Policy Studies at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. The more conservative courts have removed some of the legal requirements and have given more space for districts to avoid or even dismantle policies that would increase integration, Apple said. "The economic crisis has made many white parents fearful of sending their children to what they think are underperforming schools — usually a code word for schools that have a high percentage of students of color — thereby performing whiteness," he said. "The growing emphasis on voucher plans and charter schools and the right's ability to convince people that public school problems can only be solved by choice and marketization also strongly contributes to white flight. The growing power of [conservatives] has made the unsayable, sayable and the undoable, doable, by making it legitimate to act in ways that have clear racializing effects. "Given all this and more, I am not optimistic that we will see a large move toward integration in the near future," he said. WI

Petworth Residents Want Make the Pledge to Protect Your Finances Out of Detention Center By Tatyana Hopkins WI Staff Writer Residents of the Ward 4 Petworth neighborhood seek to oust a youth detention center set to replace a former post office on 9th Street before it even opens. Ward 4 Council member Brandon Todd and ANC Commissioner Karen Cooper hosted D.C. Superior Court representatives at Centro Evangelistico Church Thursday evening to discuss the youth probation and pre-adjudication center called the Northwest Balanced and Restorative Justice (BARJ) Drop-in Center. Officials left many residents disappointed at the conclusion of the first public meeting about the Northwest BARJ center. After voicing concerns about the facility's potential impact on the burgeoning neighborhood's safety and status, along with the court's lack of communication with the public, officials left opponents to the center disappointed by affirming its plans to take over the old post office within the next year. D.C. Family Court Social Services Division Director Terri Odom apologized, conceding that a community meeting should have been held first. Decisions about the location of the center were discussed in a closed meeting nearly five years ago pre-dating the election of the current ANC commissioner and Todd. "What's the life cycle for this?" asked resident Ileana Speer. "Going forward, how do we ever get rid of this place?" Speer expressed concern that the facility would damper the progress the neighborhood has made in recent years. The facility is set to serve about 125 (about 35 on a daily basis) 12to 18-year-olds who are pretrial, and would otherwise be detained or facing probation revocation. The center will also host an Alternative Suspension Program for youth who have been suspended from school for three to 10 days where they will be provided meals and tutors to complete coursework provided by their schools. It will operate Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. and reduced hours on Saturdays. Some neighbors agreed, echoing safety concerns and the effect it would have on Upshur Street retail-

ers and restaurants. "Thirty or 40 rowdy kids, potentially, coming and going during the period when there's the most classes at the yoga studio, that's not going to be great," said Glen Sperling, whose wife owns a yoga studio next to the site. "We are very supportive of what you're doing. I just wish it were more on Georgia Avenue or somewhere a little more appropriate." Officials stated they picked the location based on vacancy, Metro accessibility and square footage. Currently, there are five BARJ centers throughout the city to service youth and families within close proximity to them. Court officials say Northwest is the only quadrant without one. Its youth must be serviced at the courthouse downtown. The multifaceted facility being built on 9th Street to house probation officers and support staff is set to serve youth in the Northwest quadrant including those who reside in Wards 1, 3 and 4. "These are kids are already in your neighborhood. We're not bringing them in," said Carol Dalton, presiding judge of D.C. Family Court. "We are making the community safer by having kids who are monitored by multiple probation officers. They are driven in, learning skills, getting food, not out on the street committing crime." Odom made note that a majority of the youth being served have not committed serious offenses, but are those who ran away, have been truant or committed small delinquent offenses. "My first reaction is, I don't want this in my neighborhood regardless of how great it sounds," said one long-term resident who requested anonymity. "We have no choice." Some residents accepted the center's fate and looked for volunteer opportunities within the facility. "If they don't go here, they'll hang out in the park on Upshur Street," said resident Leonardo Dorsett. He said he hoped the center was successful for the sake of the community and would offer support. A variety of services are set to be offered at the center including nutrition, mentoring, tutoring, life skills, anger management, mental health and drug use and prevention services. WI

By Lucy Drafton-Lowery, Public Affairs Specialist, D.C. Department of Insurance, Securities and Banking

Did you know that older residents are the most common targets of financial scams? Dishonest advisers prey on the elderly as they believe older residents tend to have more assets in savings and pensions accounts as they prepare for retirement. But don’t let them fool you or your loved ones. As part of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, which is recognized on June 15, the District of Columbia Department of Insurance, Securities and Banking warns District consumers to be on the alert for unlicensed financial advisers who promise big financial gains with unrealistic investment opportunities. Many make their moves through unsolicited phone calls and emails that are pushy and demand payment right away. While brokers, investment advisers, and their firms are required by District law to be licensed or registered, unlicensed advisers often pose as legitimate, licensed professionals. Oftentimes, by the time a scam is exposed, it’s usually too late and the victim’s assets are depleted. For example, the daughter of an elderly woman submitted a complaint to the Department that after her father’s death, her mother, who lives in Pennsylvania, invested $400,000 with a company based in the District of Columbia that was not licensed. The mother attended a financial seminar in Las Vegas when she met the unlicensed financial advisor and was offered high guaranteed returns and a fixed-term investment. When the elderly woman wanted to withdraw the balance in her account of $400,000, the unlicensed financial advisor said he would have to find other investors before she could be paid. After a month of requests for a full withdrawal, he only sent her $10,000. The mother was holding out hope that the adviser would eventually return the money. The daughter, on the other hand, believed it was a type of pyramid scheme -- and it probably was. A pyramid scheme is an investment fraud where investors recruit more investors, with returns being given to early investors using money contributed by later ones. The daughter also is concerned that the unlicensed adviser is preying on other victims, since he had an active website and speaking engagements. (The website is no longer active.) Here are five red flags to look out for in a financial adviser. 1. Promises of High Returns with Little or No Risk. The promise of a high rate of return, with little or no risk, is a classic warning sign of investment fraud. Every investment carries some degree of risk, and the potential for greater returns generally comes with greater risk. Avoid putting money into “can’t miss” investment opportunities or those promising “guaranteed returns.” Remember – if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. 2. Unregistered Persons. Always check whether the person offering to sell you an investment is registered and licensed, even if you know him or her personally. Unregistered/unlicensed persons who sell securities perpetrate many of the securities frauds that target older investors. Researching the background of the individuals and firms selling you investments, including their registration/license status and disciplinary history, is free: • Contact the DISB at 202-727-8000 or via the website at disb.dc.gov. • Search the Security and Exchange Commission’s Investment Adviser Public Disclosure (IAPD) online database at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov. • Search the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA)’s BrokerCheck online database at brokercheck.finra.org. 3. Red Flags in the Financial Professional’s Background. Even if an investment professional is in good standing with his or her regulators, you should be aware of potential red flags in the professional’s background. DISB, SEC, and FINRA records can be used to identify red flags for potential problems, including: (1) employment at firms that have been expelled from the securities industry; (2) personal bankruptcy; (3) termination; (4) being subject to internal review by an employer; (5) a high number of customer complaints; (6) failed industry qualification examinations; (7) federal tax liens; and (8) repeatedly moving firms. 4. Pressure to Buy Quickly. No reputable investment professional should push you to make an immediate decision about an investment, or tell you that you’ve got to “act now.” If someone pressures you to decide on an investment without giving you ample time to do your research, walk away. 5. Free Meals. Be wary of “free lunch” seminars. The ultimate goal of free meal investment seminars is typically to lure new clients and to sell investment products, not to educate the public. If you decide to attend one, commit to yourself before the seminar that you won’t purchase anything or open an account while at the seminar. Even if the free meal does not come with a high-pressured sales pitch, you should expect the “hard sell” in subsequent contacts from the person selling the investment. Before you invest or pay for any investment advice, make sure your brokers, investment advisers, and investment adviser representatives have not had disciplinary problems or been in trouble with regulators or other investors. You also should check to see whether they are registered or licensed. The information is easy to get, and one phone call or web search may save you money. The District of Columbia's Department of Insurance, Securities and Banking regulates the city's financial-services businesses. It has two missions: to effectively and fairly regulate financial services to protect the people of the District; and to attract and retain financial-services businesses.

26 JUNE 15 - 21, 2017

GOVERNMENT OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA OFFICE OF THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER OFFICE OF TAX AND REVENUE NOTICE OF REAL PROPERTY TAX SALE Notice is hereby given that all real properties described on the list below, for which real property taxes or vault rents (including penalties and interest, if applicable) were levied and in arrears on October 1, 2016, for which business improvement district taxes (including penalties and interest, if applicable) were levied and in arrears before September 15, 2016, or for which any other tax certified to the Office of Tax and Revenue (OTR) for collection hereunder remains unpaid, shall be sold at public auction to the highest bidder at the 2017 Real Property Tax Sale (Sale). The Sale shall be held pursuant to D.C. Official Code § 47-1330, et. seq. The Sale shall begin on Monday, July 17, 2017, and continue, except Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays, until all the real properties available for sale are sold. During each day, the Sale shall be conducted from 8:30 a.m. until 12 noon and from 1 p.m. until 4 p.m. or until all the real properties scheduled for sale for that day are sold. The Sale shall occur at OTR located at 1101 4th Street, SW, West Building - 2nd Floor, Room 250, Washington, DC 20024. All real properties are listed in square, suffix and lot, or parcel and lot, number order. The name of the owner of record and premise address of each real property are also stated. Certain real properties on this list do not have street numbers or premise addresses; therefore, none can be provided. A real property without a street number is generally stated on the below list as having “0” as a street address number. The list states the amount for which each real property may be sold at the Sale; an additional $200.00 Tax Sale Fee shall be added at the time of the sale. The stated amount for which a real property may be offered for sale can be lower than what an owner would have to pay in order to prevent the real property from being sold. Owners must contact OTR to determine the amount that must be paid in order to avoid the sale of their real properties. Purchasers must be aware that additional liabilities, which are not reflected in the total amount for which the real properties are offered at the Sale, may be due and owing on real properties and such additional liabilities may include liens previously sold to a third party. A purchaser at the Sale acts at his or her own risk and must exercise due diligence in selecting real properties upon which to bid in good faith. At the Sale, the purchaser acquires a certificate of sale to the real property that may ripen into title if the owner (or other party with an interest) fails to redeem. The owner (or other party with an interest) has a statutory right to redeem the real property until his or her equity of redemption has been foreclosed by the purchaser’s lawsuit. If the owner (or other party with an interest) fails to redeem the real property, the Superior Court of the District of Columbia may order that a deed be issued to the purchaser after the purchaser pays all taxes, costs, and expenses. The purchaser shall monitor tax payment schedules provided by OTR on its website, www.mytax.dc.gov, under the “Real Property” tab and surrender the certificate of sale to receive a refund after the payment of all real property taxes, vault rents, BID taxes, liens certified pursuant to D.C. Code § 47-1340, fees, and charges payable to OTR on account of the real property. A certificate of sale shall be canceled if, inter alia, it is later determined that the delinquent taxes, including accrued interest and penalties, were satisfied before the end of the last day of the Sale. The date of sale of any real property shall be deemed to be the last day of the Sale, regardless of the actual day of the Sale during which the real property was offered and sold. The certificates of sale shall indicate the date of sale as being the last day of the Sale. Purchasers shall have filed Form FR-500, Combined Business Tax Registration Application, prior to registering. This form should be filed online by visiting OTR’s website, www.mytax.dc.gov. A potential purchaser, including a natural person or business entity delinquent in the payment of in rem taxes (e.g. real property taxes) to the District, or one who has been convicted of a felony involving fraud, deceit, moral turpitude, or anti-competitive behavior, may not bid at the Sale or otherwise acquire an interest in real property sold at the Sale. A potential purchaser, including a natural person or business entity, must certify that such purchaser— 1) is not more than one year in arrears in any jurisdiction in the payment of in rem taxes not being contested in good faith and 2) has not been convicted in any jurisdiction of a felony involving fraud, deceit, moral turpitude, or anti-competitive behavior. Registration for the Sale is mandatory and begins Monday, July 10, 2017. Registration shall continue until the final day of the Sale. Purchasers must register for the Sale at OTR’s Customer Service Center, located at 1101 4th Street, SW, 2nd Floor - Customer Service Center, Washington, DC 20024. Prior to bidding at the Sale, a purchaser of real property must have made a deposit of at least 20% of the total purchase price. ALL PAYMENTS MUST BE MADE TO THE D.C. TREASURER BY CASH, CERTIFIED CHECK, CASHIER’S CHECK, OR POSTAL MONEY ORDER. OTR shall conduct four public seminars to explain tax sale procedures. Potential purchasers are encouraged to attend. The seminars will be held at 1101 4th Street, SW, 2nd Floor – Room W250, Washington, DC 20024, on Tuesday, June 27, 2017, and Wednesday, June 28, 2017. During each day, a seminar will take place from 9:30 a.m. until 12:00 p.m., and another seminar will take place from 2:00 p.m. until 4:30 p.m. During each of the four seminars, OTR will explain the entire sale process and follow up with a question and answer period. The seminars are free and all are welcome. To enroll in a seminar, please call OTR at (202) 727-4TAX (4829), or visit its Customer Service Center at 1101 4th Street, SW. Enrollment is mandatory for anyone planning to attend one of the seminars. Enrollment will be granted on a first-come/first-served basis and will continue until all available slots are taken. A person with a communication impairment requiring an interpreter for the Sale shall notify OTR of the need for an interpreter no later than July 10, 2017. If an interpreter is required for the public seminars, OTR shall be notified no later than June 20, 2017. Please contact OTR at (202) 727-4TAX(4829), via email at taxsale@dc.gov, or visit our Customer Service Center at 1101 4th St., SW, 2nd Floor, Washington, DC.

EDITORIAL This Father’s Day, Let’s Focus on the Better Aspects of Black Men This Sunday is Father’s Day. For some it will be a day to rejoice, to reminisce and to recount those many moments that your father showed you how much you were loved. For others, sadly, it will be a stark reminder of the void that remains in their lives – an empty space in which “father” is nothing more than a name, an infrequent visitor to their mother’s home or a man who inflicted more pain than joy into his children’s lives. Still, whether your father “walked on water” or was little more than a “rolling stone,” we are called to “honor our fathers [and mothers] so our days may be long upon the earth.” The question remains, what will you do to honor your father, the father figures in your life or the memories of those men who have gone on to glory? Black fathers face overwhelming odds. They find themselves running up the down staircase. Many long for ways to fulfill desires but struggle just to provide basic needs. And then some, who have never known the love of their own father, don’t know what to do, what to say or how to act when asked to take on the role of “breadwinner and provider.” They just don’t know how to love. We understand why children tend to shower all their love on their mothers, especially if theirs was a woman who, like so many before her, sacrificed all for the sake and betterment of her progeny. But fathers also make sacrifices, enduring harassment and humiliation in a world that almost never looks kindly on men of color. Collectively, however, we have somehow survived. Fathers have moved mountains. Fathers have made the impossible happen. Fathers have taken three pennies and turned them into a fortune. Fathers have cried in the darkness for their children. But these stories cannot be found on the front pages or on the evening news – not often, that is. But Black fathers are here. They love. They work hard. They sacrifice. And they matter. We encourage you to say thanks to one of these men, even if he’s not your biological father – a man who stood in the gap for you. Show him the honor he deserves. WI

Congratulations to the Class of 2017 Thousands of Washington area high school students in the Class of 2017 are graduating this month, carrying with them the hopes and dreams of a promising future among their parents, teachers, family members and friends. Most of them are headed to a two- or four-year college, or trade school, or the military while others will seek employment commensurate with their limited skills and with the opportunities provided by the Summer Youth Employment Program. This is a moment of great celebration not only because of the hard work each student engaged in academically, but it also represents thousands of community service hours performed by every graduate across the city due to a 100-hour community service requirement of DCPS students before graduation. This moment also represents the culmination of a Capital Commitment established five years ago by DCPS to “ensure that every DC public school provides a world-class education that prepares ALL of our students, regardless of background or circumstance, for success in college, career and life.” That commitment included improving achievement rates, investment in schools, increasing graduation rates, improving satisfaction by the students of their respective schools and increasing enrollment. Newly-appointed DCPS Schools Chancellor Antwan Wilson, along with DC Mayor Muriel Bowser are crisscrossing the city attending commencement ceremonies and proudly touting that today “academic performance is up, graduation rates are up, enrollment is up, student satisfaction is up and it’s time to set a new vision for what our district can accomplish.” But the vision has already become a reality at Ballou Senior High School where it was announced this week during graduation that for the first time in the history of the Ward 8 school, 100 percent of the students both applied and were accepted to at least one college or university including the University of the District of Columbia. Not enough can be said about this achievement or the teachers, parents and especially the students who committed to making this dream a reality. We congratulate the entire Class of 2017 and praise them for allowing their goals to shatter their obstacles. WI WWW.WASHINGTONINFORMER.COM

TO THE EDITOR DMV Women a Force on the Links

WI Interns Set the Bar High

Thank you for your article, "Wake-Robin Golf Club Celebrates 80th Anniversary at Annual Golf Tournament," by Martell Pegues in the June 8 edition. As a golfer, I have played golf with women who are members of the Wake-Robin Golf Club and, let me tell you, they can play golf! They are knowledgeable of the rules of golf and they take what they do on the golf course very seriously. It's something very special to be able to keep a club going for 80 years. At one of their celebration banquets I attended they awarded scholarships to students who were going to attend college to play golf. The whole DMV should celebrate the Wake-Robin Golf Club not just for being around for 80 years but for the wonderful work it does. Congratulations, and I hope you have 80 more years of birdies, pars and even bogies!

The article by WI interns Noni Marshall and Alexa Imani Spencer, "Journalism Students Poised to 'Discover the Unexpected,'" in the June 8, 2017, edition was wonderful to read. After reading it, I was very impressed with the skill with which they presented their story. If they are representative of the level of writing done by the other interns, the NNPA and Chevrolet should feel very proud to have these gifted students representing them in this outstanding program. I noticed that all of the interns are from HBCUs. Is that a prerequisite? If so, how would a student, college or university apply to the program? The reason I ask, I have a grandson who is a journalism student at the Virginia State University, and I know his parents and I would love to see him be part of such a worthwhile program. My hat goes off to you for printing the article and to the NNPA and Chevrolet for supporting these young people in their pursuit of their dreams.

Lawmakers Pressed for Fairness in Housing Finance As the Senate Banking Committee turns its attention to reform the nation's secondary mortgage market, civil rights leaders recently spoke in a strong and united voice. For these national organizations, the housing finance system must embrace — not abandon — its obligation to provide broad access and affordability in mortgage lending. In a June 6 letter to Committee Chairman Mike Crapo (R-Ida-

ho) and ranking member Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), the senators were advised that any emerging legislation for the secondary housing finance market must set in place guidelines to protect against unlawful discrimination. A second and equally important requirement is for all credit-worthy borrowers have access to the mortgage credit they deserve. Signing the letter was a broad coalition of activists: The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, NAACP, National Urban League, National Council of La Raza, National Coalition for

Guest Columnist

Asian Pacific American Community Development, National Fair Housing Alliance, National Community Reinvestment Coalition and the Center for Responsible Lending (CRL). "Any reform of the secondary mortgage market must ensure access and affordability to mortgage credit for all creditworthy potential homebuyers in all regions of the nation," the letter stated. "Diminishing the role and importance that the secondary housing finance systems plays in achieving this goal will continue to deepen the racial wealth gap that already exists in

America today." The current public policy debate on the secondary mortgage market has its roots in the foreclosure crisis that began in 2007. Lax federal regulation and excessive risk-taking by Wall Street firms led to a housing boom where investors chased profits on unsustainable mortgage loans. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, two government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs), followed that market trend, hoping to capture profits for their investors. This led to them facing losses that resulted in their being placed into conservatorship by the federal government.

Like many other private firms, the GSEs received a financial bailout from the U.S. Treasury Department to avoid a complete market meltdown. Eventually and as authorized by Congress in the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP, $698 billion in rescue funds were allocated for the GSEs, including a $187 billion taxpayer investment. Even today, the GSEs remain under conservatorship. But with the housing market stabilized, multiple calls have

Illinois Poised to Strengthen the Right to Vote

Illinois is about to make voter registration automatic. The Senate and House have passed reform bills unanimously. If the governor signs the final reconciled legislation, Illinois will become the ninth state, in addition to the District of Columbia, to adopt automatic voter registration. The bill would begin to register more than 1 million eligible but unregistered voters in Illinois. Even as states continue to pass legislation to restrict voting, this reform promises to open the doors wider.

The legislation would automatically register eligible voters when they interact with the secretary of state's office or with other state agencies, unless they decline. It builds on the Motor Voter reforms, but those were "opt-in" reforms; voters had to decide to take advantage. This is an opt-out reform; voters are automatically registered unless they decide not to. The difference will end up registering hundreds of thousands of eligible voters. "Automatic voter registration is a win-win for all," Cook County Clerk David Orr, one of the champions of the reform, told the Brennan

Guest Columnist

Center for Justice. "It takes the burden of updating voter registration off the backs of voters and shifts it onto government, where it belongs." It also helps government maintain updated, clean voter rolls, reducing the threat of partisan purges. This is a big deal. Oregon and California first passed the reform in 2015. When it was fully implemented in Oregon, according to The Nation, 225,000 eligible voters were automatically registered, including nearly 100,000 new voting participants. The Brennan Center reports that automatic voter registration bills have been introduced in 32 states.

Voting and voting rights are the foundation of democracy. There should be a bipartisan consensus to make registration and voting as simple, easy and accessible as possible. The very legitimacy of our elections and of our leaders depends upon free and fair elections that provide a mandate from the people. Because of the power of the vote, however, voting rights have always been contested. The civil rights movement had to fight — with lives lost and blood shed — in order to gain the right to vote for African-Americans in the South. When the conservative gang of five on the Supreme Court weakened

the Voting Rights Act, right-wing legislatures and governors in states across the country began enacting legislation to constrict voting rights in ways that disproportionately impacted people of color, students and the poor. These were partisan bills designed to exclude targeted groups of potential voters from the polls. They required specific voter ID, eliminated early voting days, shut down voting on Sundays, limited hours, purged voter rolls and banned those with convictions from voting even after they had served their sentences, among other measures.

The Riveting Testimony of James Comey According to Nielsen data, 19.5 million Americans watched former FBI Director James Comey's highly anticipated testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee. This figure does not include those who watched the testimony at viewing parties at bars and restaurants nor through online streaming on computers and digital devices. I was glued to my television set for what many were touting in the nation's capital as "Washington's Political Super Bowl."

28 JUNE 15 - 21, 2017

The hearing, at which he called the president of the United States a liar on national television, was political theater at its best. I can only recall of two other occasions in my lifetime when the nation has been riveted by such nationally televised political drama. The first was in October 1991, when Anita Hill testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee about inappropriate and unwanted sexual advances in the workplace directed at her by then-Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas. The second was in June 1973, when the recently fired White Counsel, John Dean, testified before

the Senate Select Campaign Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities. In his testimony, Dean explained how White House officials — including President Richard M. Nixon — had obstructed justice in order to mask their participation in the events following the break-in at the Watergate headquarters of the DNC. The testimony of Dean, who would serve four months in prison, was critical to articles of impeachment being drafted against Nixon. The president resigned in disgrace on Aug. 9, 1974. It is too early to say whether Comey's testimony against President

THE WASHINGTON INFORMER

Trump will play a similarly critical role in either a resignation or impeachment. There are currently not enough votes to impeach the president. That, however, may change depending on the findings of independent counsel Robert Mueller. Regardless of political party, under no circumstances is the appointment of independent special counsel ever good news to a president. Just ask President Bill Clinton. Kenneth Star was named to investigate the Vince Foster suicide and Whitewater investments. An independent counsel's mandate and budget is unlimited. Hence, had Starr's appointment

not been made, Monica Lewinsky would not be a part of the American lexicon, and Bill Clinton would not have been impeached. Similarly, whatever the President is hiding by not releasing his taxes may finally come to light. What appears from Comey's testimony is that the president grossly abused his executive authority. He felt that President Trump pressured him to declare his loyalty, drop an investigation of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and then fired Comey in order to alter the

Bill Maher Betrayed Black Intellectuals When considering the implications of Bill Maher's latest antics, it is important to level set. Maher has, over the years, become the trusted media host for black leftwing intellectuals. His roster of guests includes a who's who of the black intelligentsia. Luminaries from old stalwart Cornel West to MSNBC host Joy Reid and others have been regular guests over the years. So given this history, it

would seem surprising that Maher would so readily toss his friends under the bus by his casual on-air use of the N-word. But if one really considers Bill Maher and his history, a more complicated story emerges. Maher is a liberal prognosticator who exhibits a pretense of tolerance and open-mindedness—thereby giving him comedic license to offend. Maher's latest missive — responding to Sen. Ben Sasse's exhortation to engage in grass-roots "field" political organizing in Nebraska with the dismissive remark,

Guest Columnist

"Senator, I'm a house n----r" — is not surprising. But the remark was so out of context that it could not have been anything other than a strategically timed joke — one that unfortunately missed the mark. Read in the context of Maher's irreverent stance on many issues— it seems that the use of the N-word was meant to remind black liberal intellectuals that they are the wholly owned property of the liberal elite. It was an open admission of something conservatives have noted all along — black intellectuals do not have an actual ownership

stake of the liberal establishment, but in fact serve at the pleasure and whim of the liberal wing of the Democratic Party. Whether Maher, a 61 year-old white guy who has been employed by HBO for the past 14 years, actually considers himself a "house Negro" is not what's significant here. He, in fact, may identify his job with that of a well-kept slave on the media plantation. That Maher chose to use the N-word on his 'scripted' talk show (deceptively named "Real Time") was undoubtedly a calculated act.

This was probably not the first time Maher has used the N-word in the presence of African-Americans— he probably believes that since he allows many of them to come on to his show and debate, and that he sticks up for them against the various conservative "straw boogeymen" whom he constructs for dramatic effect, he therefore has earned license to use the term. Maher didn't ask any black person for such license of course, yet he assumed it, in the

Making the Case for Investing in HBCUs

The United Negro College Fund's iconic "A Mind is a Terrible Thing to Waste" advertising campaign remains the gold standard for shining light on the urgency of investing in black colleges and universities. No nation, the stories in the campaign reminded us, can be great if it leaves behind a large portion of its residents. More than 40 years later, the need for sustained investment in histor-

ically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) remains as great as ever. With the change in presidential administrations, HBCUs have once again returned to the national conversation, with some openly questioning the need for such institutions, particularly in the face of advances over the past several decades. The conversation is not new and the answer has not changed. We need HBCUs to continue to exist and they need all of us helping to support their coffers and make the case to deci-

Askia-At-Large

sion-makers about the continued value they provide. HBCUs represent only three percent of all two- and four-year U.S. colleges and universities, but they enroll 10 percent of all African-American undergraduates. They produce 17 percent of all African-American college graduates and generate 24 percent of all bachelor's degrees in STEM fields earned by African-Americans annually, according to UNCF's Patterson Research Institute. Part of the reason is that black graduates of HBCUs are signifi-

cantly more likely to have felt supported while in college, according to 2015 data from an ongoing Gallup-Purdue University study. But statistics are only part of the story. HBCUs have produced influential Americans including Pulitzer Prize-winning author Alice Walker, filmmaker Spike Lee, Oprah Winfrey and many other business, civic leaders and entrepreneurs. On campuses around the nation, parents beamed last month as newly minted graduates of HBCUs set out to make names

for themselves and to fulfill their dreams. At Howard University, my alma mater, I witnessed U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris remind graduates that the world will not always be welcoming and that they have a duty to serve. "That is your duty — the duty of your degree," Harris said. "That is the charge of a Howard graduate. So whatever you plan to do next — whether you want to design the latest app or cure cancer or run a business.

Thank You, United States Naval Reserve Thank you, United States Naval Reserve. You gave me an 11week adventure, beginning 50 years ago this week, which was truly life-altering. After three years in a Reserve unit, and some of it aboard the USS Marsh (DE-699), a Buckley-class destroyer escort, among the smaller warships in the U.S. fleet, I was a Petty Officer 3rd Class, off to ritzy Newport, Rhode Island, to attend the Officer Candidate School (OCS)

there. I was stepping up toward my dream of becoming a commissioned officer. I was so naïve. I was dumb, really. Since I was headed to Newport, the land of mansions, and yachts, lawn parties and lemonade, I thought I'd already arrived socially when I got off the bus outside the school. I even took my tennis racket and some jazz records along. Little did I know what was ahead. I was practically the only Negro for miles around. Out of 2,500 ROCs (Reserve Officer Candidates), there were only nine black

WWW.WASHINGTONINFORMER.COM

faces in the ranks. The only other black folks I saw regularly on the base the whole summer were the kitchen scullery workers. I got off the bus at the base, dressed Ivy League, as you please, blazer, straw panama. "Put your orders and your orders only in your right hand, and all your other belongings in your left hand, and double-time, mister!" an upperclassman yelled at me when I stepped down. I had so many items, I tried to balance the clutter in both hands. "Put your orders and your orders only in your right hand,

and all your other belongings in your left hand, and double-time, mister!" the man repeated, standing close, barking right in my face. I collected myself somehow, and managed to get to the place where I surrendered those civilian belongings for uniforms, not the bell-bottom pants with 13 buttons I'd worn in the fleet. These were straight legged pants, and I got a "hard hat." I was assigned to Company K-711. That was "Kilo-7-11," the 11th company of 60 men each, in the year, 1967. Everywhere we went on the base, we

marched in ranks. I was made the student commander of the company. I would march alongside "my" men, barking the "leftright" commands as we stepped along. Like midshipmen at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, every single ROC participated in athletics, as part of our military training. Just looking at me — a black guy — my companions presumed I would be an exceptional athlete and lead us to victory in sports competi-

LIFESTYLE 'Jean and Dinah' Showcases Rarely Told West Indian Story By Jade James-Gist WI Contributing Writer With its history, impressive storytelling, and authentic acting, "Jean and Dinah" makes for a moving cultural experience and excellent choice to celebrate National Caribbean Heritage Month this June. From the Lordstreet Theater Company and Essential Theater, writer and director Tony Hall fully immerses the audience into vibrant Trinidadian culture using only storytelling and a one-set bedroom stage. The play was inspired by two Trinidadian prostitutes named in the Mighty Sparrow's hit ca-

lypso song, "When the Yankees Gone" (1956). Hall decided to give life to these women who symbolized a once widespread and profitable prostitution industry in Port of Spain, Trinidad. Like many West Indian prostitutes, Jean and Dinah were left desperate when the war ended as very few customers and other means of survival remained when the rich Yankees, or American soldiers, left the town and returned to the U.S. Jean, a fiery, aging prostitute, and Dinah, an older, nowblind waitress, supported each other through the struggles of West Indian womanhood and

the downturn of the industry. In a nostalgic first act, Jean and Dinah reveal the hilarious and tragic history of two lifelong friends on the morning of Carnival. As they revisit their colorful memories, you quickly adjust to their singsong accents and absorb elements of the society and culture along the way. For all their vulgar talk, teeth-sucking and Creole slang, Jean and Dinah's seamless back-and-forth fills the room with a surprising familiarity. Their easy intimacy rings incredibly authentic, so it was unsurprising to learn that not only have Penelope Spencer (Jean) and Rhoma Spencer (Dinah) played these characters for over 20 years but are sisters as well. The feisty and opposing personalities of Jean and Dinah fought with and leaned on each other through motherhood, blindness, injury and age. As a fly on the wall, the audience is pulled into their dynamic relationship and shown a rarely-told story of West Indian life and history. WI 4 Actreses Penelope Spencer and

Travis Greene's New Single Testifies About God's Patience By Eunice Moseley WI Contributing Writer "I gave God my faith. People would say it's the favor of God," said seven-time Stellar Award winner Travis Greene about his mind-blowing music career and the meaning behind his single "You Waited" from his new live album "Crossover: Live from Music City." "He has allowed me to do what I'm doing," Green said. "What would I be if He left me? God is rich in patience. God revealed his patience to me." Greene started his career while in college in 2007. He released his first studio album, "Stretching Out" (Pendulum), in 2010, followed by "The Hill" (RCA Inspirational) in 2015, which reached #1 on Billboard. He has produced two #1 singles, "Intentional" in 2015 and

"Made a Way" in 2016. "Crossover: Live From Music City," his third commercial album release, is a recording of a February concert in Nashville, Tennessee.

Greene, now the pastor of Forward City Church in Columbia, South Carolina, is currently performing nationally and internationally. He has shows in Trinidad and Tobago on June 15, west Nigeria on June 21 and the Mega Fest in Dallas from June 30 to July 1.

got something special." Hosted by Joe Clair of the Joe Clair Morning Show and Dr. Renee Allen of Women's Business Report, this year's theme "Inspiring the Next Generation" honored seasoned professionals that are forging paths for young journalists and media arts students. Honorees included U.S. shadow Rep. Franklin Garcia (D.C.), WHUR General Manager Jim Watkins, actress Bern Nadette Stanis, Motion Picture Association of America's John Gibson, the Rev. Tony Lee, WHUR Director of News and Public Affairs Renee Nash, 3rd District Representative for the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. Ezekiel Dennison Jr., and Washington Informer Publisher Denise Rolark Barnes. The Lifetime Legacy Award was presented to the Rev. Jesse L. Jackson Sr., who paid a visit to the school last month and granted an exclusive interview with Richard Wright Network News. Perhaps the most moving moment of the evening was "The Perfect Child," a documentary by student Dayonna Braddy chronicling her battle with Hodgkin's lymphoma, cancer of the lymphatic system. Her film

brought the audience to tears with its raw and honest look at the young girl's battle. As the credits rolled, and the crowd rose to their feet, Braddy was stunned by the reaction she received. "Thank you everybody for coming out tonight to pay attention to my documentary," Braddy said. "I'm honored. I just want to thank everybody, because without all of you, I don't know what I would do." As the audience laughed and cried in response to the students' productions, parents, teachers, community members and administrators beamed with pride. "I'm going to take a student with me in September to the Urban World film festival next year because the quality of what I saw on the screen is the quality of what i see with college graduates and folks who have studied filmmaking," Gibson said. This annual event is a fundraiser for Richard Wright Public Charter School in order to help it provide quality education for students interested in journalism and media arts. The black-tie affair aims to serves as a reminder of the unique work the school does year-round. WI

Dream Academy Keeping Kids Out of Prison Commitment to End Intergenerational Incarceration Renewed

By Sarafina Wright WI Staff Writer A national after-school program dedicated to breaking the cycle of intergenerational incarceration brought their star-studded annual Power of a Dream

Gala to Washington. The U.S. Dream Academy for the 16th year held their biggest fundraiser — this year themed "Igniting Dreams" — on Tuesday, June 6 at the Washington Renaissance Hotel in Northwest. "One of every three Afri-

can-American males between the ages of 18 and 30 are in prison right now, or supervised by the court system of the United States of America," said Wintley Phipps, founder of U.S. Dream Academy. "Almost 60 to 70 percent of children in some communities end up going to prison, and they come from those who are in prison now. "It's a cycle," he said. "We developed going into almost our 20th year a focus on tutoring and mentoring to break that intergenerational cycle." Actor and producer Larenz Tate and singer Michelle Williams of music group Destiny's Child emceed the event honoring Robert Logan for the Mentor of the Year Award, and three Dream Academy Award recipients, Dr. David R. Williams, France A. Cordova and Wanda Durant. "I have a heart for children

on Pennsylvania Avenue. This time the outdoor, all-day food and music fest will set up at RFK Stadium's Festival Lawn at Lot 6, making it more like the authentic Caribbean festivals in the islands. "The move to RFK Stadium allows us to deliver a much better patron experience and overcome the challenges we faced last year on Pennsylvania Avenue," said Eddy Edwards, CEO of the Jamaican Jerk Festival USA. "There is more space to accommodate extra features such as an upscale VIP area, expand the Kidz Zone and present an event layout similar to the New York and Florida festivals." The DC Jerk Festival also moves into the void left by the demise of DC Carnival, once the city's premier Caribbean festival, also held in June during Caribbean Heritage Month. Like DC Carnival, music is a major part of the Jerk Festival. This year, reggae stars Tarrus Riley, Queen Ifrica and Romain Virgo will bring the irie vibes of Jamaica to the main stage, joined by soca music's royal couple, Bunji Garlin and Fay-Ann Lyons. Comedian Raggashanti, DJ G-Nice and DJS from A-blazin Radio will keep the audience en-

tertained in between. But the real star of the DC Jerk Festival is, of course, the jerk. This genuine Jamaican method of grilling owes its popularity to Jamaican history. The Maroons, or runaway slaves, would smoke

Lifelong O's Fan Remembers Baltimore Baseball Before Camden Yards By Timothy Cox Special Correspondent When James Batty sits on the deck of his senior citizens' home in northwest Baltimore, he sometimes reflects on the times when the youth baseball field across the street once housed the massive edifice known as Memorial Stadium. "I actually worked there two different times — first from 195759. Then, I came back in the mid1960s," said Batty, 76. He worked as a vendor first while in high school, selling popcorn, peanuts and hot dogs. "Minors couldn't sell beer," he recalled. "So I was too young the first time." Though now somewhat slowed in his walk, while assisted by a cane, Mr. Batty's mind remains razor-sharp, and easily recounts the times when the stadium consistently attracted sold-out crowds and fielded championship-caliber teams. "I really recall the 1958 All-Star Game," he said. "That one had Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Mickey Mantle." Having grown up on on Vine Street on the west side of Baltimore, Batty said he never imagined he'd someday live on the same property where Memorial Stadium was once located. The structure, erected in 1950 and razed in 2001, was originally built as a tribute to World War I and World War II veterans, hence the name. In addition to the senior housing facility, the mixed-use property now houses a YMCA and an athletic field used by youth soccer, lacrosse and baseball players. The field is sponsored by the Cal Ripken Sr. Foundation and uses the original diamond setup of Memorial Stadium. The original home plate was relocated to Camden Yards when the new stadium opened in 1989, according to Bill Stetka, Orioles alumni director. "They did a really good job in developing the area which once housed the old stadium," said Stetka, who formerly served as the team's public relations director before assuming his current role nearly 10 years ago. Batty had studied to be a cabinetmaker at George Washington Carver High School, where he graduated in 1959, but retired having worked for years in the city's waste water treatment department, he said. "Somebody's got to do that job, and I did it," he said with a smile.

One of Batty's many neighbors at Ednor Apartments at Stadium Place is Thomas "Tom" Gilk, 66, who said he resided in NYC before relocating to Baltimore as a teenager. The retired chemical operator said he too is a longtime baseball fan, fondly recalling the numerous World Series trips for the Orioles. "They won in '66, '70 and '83, but lost to the Pittsburgh Pirates in '71 and '79," he said. "[The Pirates] were singing 'We Are Family.' Yeah, those teams were good, but those were all good games, very competitive." Batty's highlight was having worked the 1958 MLB All-Star Game. On that July 8 night, he witnessed the likes of Mickey Mantle, Bill Skowron and Nellie Fox for the American League, while the National League's starting lineup included Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Ernie Banks, Stan Musial and Warren Spahn. Mr. Batty faithfully wears his Orioles hat each spring and said he'll always remains a "Birds" fan. "They have some tough times, but overall, they've got a great organization," he said. "But I'll still always remember Frank Robinson, Brooks Robinson, John "Boog" Powell, Eddie Murray and Cal Ripken — they were the all-time greats." Batty also worked as a vendor for the Baltimore Colts before the team left for Indianapolis in 1984. Proudly, he recalls seeing the the likes of John Unitas, Lenny Moore and John Mackey wearing their iconic blue and white jerseys. He said he enjoyed the warm weather of the baseball season over the frigid NFL schedule. For the record, Stetka said Memorial Stadium was never in disrepair, but the ballclub needed a venue that could compete with the modern stadiums of the 1970s such as Riverfront (Cincinnati), Three Rivers (Pittsburgh) and Busch (St. Louis). The large red-brick structure behind right field at Camden Yards, the Orioles' new home, was formerly a warehouse owned by Baltimore and Ohio Railroad company, Stetka said. It now houses Orioles' administrative offices. Camden Yards was once a large railroad loading area where trains off-loaded materials and goods. A sister warehouse is located in Cincinnati, he said, where the Ohio portion of the railway route ends. WI

Toni Morrison's 'Jazz' By Eve M. Ferguson WI Contributing Writer Author Toni Morrison's written works are not the easiest to transform into other formats, but the adaptation of her 1992 novel "Jazz" into a theatrical work has raised the artistic level of Baltimore's Center Stage to new heights of excellence and innovativeness. Playwright Nambi E. Kelley adapted the work for the stage in a production that not only remains true to Morrison's storyline, but also retains the surrealistic elements and nonlinear storytelling that are hallmarks of the novelist's renowned books. Telling the story of Joe Trace (Leon Addison Brown) and his wife Violet (Shanésia Davis), who moved north from rural Virginia to Harlem at the turn of the century, "Jazz" is a classic tale of the Great Migration, as many Southern blacks relocated to urban settings in pursuit of better lives. But Joe and Violet's married life takes an unexpected turn when they settle in Harlem and Joe becomes enamored with a youthful woman, Dorcas (Jasmine Batchelor). Their affair begins when Joe meets her while selling beauty products as a door-to-door salesmen. Initially willing to entertain the older man, Dorcas interests quickly turn to young dandy Acton (Warner Miller, who also plays the young Joe) and she consequently rebuffs Joe's advances. Unable to have her, Joe chooses to shoot Dorcas in cold blood rather than live without her. The play delves into the psychological dysfunction that grips Violet, Dorcas and Joe in a triangle of tragedy and madness. Told through a multiplicity of perspectives, the ensemble creatively inserts the subtly varied recollections of the events into a dreamscape scenario, skillful-

ly interpreted by a masterfully interchangeable set designed by Tim Mackabee. "Different challenges have been posed by the structure of 'Jazz' the novel," Kelley writes about her experience bringing the novel to stage. "What I have tried to do is actually honor that, the intention of 'Jazz' as the organizing principle for the material. The question is, what is my 'Jazz'? The process of discovering that has been a journey." The ensemble is small, yet powerful with several of the actors playing dual roles. Jasmine Carmichael plays the young Violet and also Felice, Dorcas' friend. Michele Shay takes on the roles of Alice Manfred, Dorcas' aunt, and True Belle, Violet's mother. Avery Whitfield plays the amusing parrot, a gift Joe gives Violet to substitute for his absence, and also the historical figure Golden Gray, the mulatto child of Joe Trace's adoptive father, Henry Lestory (Jason Bowen). Benja Kay Thomas, who plays Malvonne and Gregory Boyer, the trombonist who makes intermittent appearances and keeps the theme of jazz ever-present, completes the ensemble. "I'm a huge fan of Toni Morrison, and 'Jazz' in particular," said Center Stage artistic director Kwame Kwei-Armah. "It's an important chronicle of the human experience, and although it takes place in the 1920s, the story's theme still resonates today. "I'm thrilled to direct such a talented group of actors and designers to bring Playwright Nambi Kelley's vision to life on the stage in Baltimore," he said. "Jazz" plays at Baltimore Center Stage, 700 North Calvert Street, through June 25. For ticket information, go to www.centerstage.org or call 410-332-0033. WI

ARIES This could be one of those weeks when you may not be able to get as much done as you'd like, so it would help to pace yourself. Some of the key issues could involve mixed messages or somebody stubbornly refusing to grant a request or help you out. While this can seem very frustrating over the days ahead, it's a temporary situation. Lucky Numbers: 2, 4, 8

"I Can't Make This Up: Life Lessons"

TAURUS Finances may need careful handling in the days ahead. While you could get lucky and find a bargain, it would be wise to check that you're getting as good a deal as you think you are. Whatever you buy, it would be smart to keep receipts in case you need to return it. This might not be the best time to apply for a loan or more credit, as you could encounter difficulties. Lucky Numbers: 10, 12, 24

GEMINI A mixed message or slip of the tongue could cause problems unless it's nipped in the bud. It would be smart to check that others understand what you're saying, particularly those in positions of authority. At the same time, you might need to be very adaptable if you need to handle someone who resists your ideas. Next week could be a different story. Lucky Numbers: 33, 35, 46 CANCER Responsibilities and tasks could be piling up and you could be feeling overwhelmed. If this is the case, the stars encourage you to take a step back and carefully review your situation. Letting go of those tasks that really don't achieve anything can also help you feel more relaxed and at peace. Lucky Numbers: 10, 14, 31

I Can't Make This Up

LEO If your confidence dips, it's only temporary. The people you know will love to see you. You just need to give them a call or show up. This passing phase is nothing to be anxious about, as some good company will quickly boost your spirits. Reflection can help if a deep-seated issue needs a solution. Lucky Numbers: 22, 28, 38

By Terri Schlichenmeyer WI Contributing Writer You can pretend all you want. Hide your head in the sand and say it ain't so. Cover your ears and yell "la-la-lala-la" until everyone thinks you're 5 years old. You can deny, deny, deny, but listen up: some things are factual, so read "I Can't Make This Up: Life Lessons" by Kevin Hart, and you may learn something. When Kevin Hart was born, his parents might've said, "Oops." Neither parent ever denied that Hart's birth was the result of his father's broken promise. Hart knew he was "a mistake," and that nobody was happy. Still, his parents stayed together awhile — long enough for him to note his father's unusual parenting style and his mother's strength in raising two sons, mostly alone. The oldest boy eventually sold crack and went into the military to avoid jail. The younger son, well, he wrote this book. Throughout his life, Hart paid attention to the lessons he got from keen observations; Number One was that things change. Number Two was that shrugging one's shoulders and moving on is the best way to deal with Number One. There was no shoulder-shrugging, though, when Hart got a post-high-school job selling athletic shoes. He set a goal of being the store's best salesman, and found a mentor who encouraged him and a group of people who showed him what being a grownup was like. He worked long hours and made the job fun — so fun, that his co-workers encouraged him to try an open mic night for amateur comedians in the Philadelphia area. And people laughed. Hearing their laughter was like being on fire. Hart created a fake-stage name for himself and begged for as many gigs as he could get; the first ones were performed for free, then he started making enough to pay the bills and quit his day-job. He met someone who taught him the fundamentals of being a comedian, and he became a husband and father on his way up the fame ladder. On his (temporary) way down, he never lost sight of his career or his strongest lesson: Always be your best. Somebody might be watching. While, obviously, as evidenced from comedy performances and TV shows, author Kevin Hart is a talented writer, "I Can't Make This Up" is a little clunky at the outset. It takes a few pages to settle in and get comfortable — and you will. You might expect to LOL while you're reading — and, again, you will — but remember, this isn't a comedy club. There are chuckles here, but you probably won't find doubled-over belly laughs. Instead, taking advice that he was given all those years ago, Hart tells his own personal story with humor, just the right touch of embellishment, and a full dose of the flip-side of funny without forcing anything. That's good comedy, as he says… and it makes for a wonderful memoir. Pay close attention to the chapter titles here. Read the introduction (it's "mandatory"). Look for the "lessons" and laugh. "I Can't Make This Up" is a treat, for real. WI WWW.WASHINGTONINFORMER.COM

VIRGO This week, Neptune, your planet of relating, turns retrograde for some months, and this could make you a lot more sensitive and aware of the influences around you. It won't happen overnight, but gradually you'll notice a pattern or get insights that prove useful to you in a number of ways. Lucky Numbers: 8, 14, 25 LIBRA If you're eager to make headway on a deal or key matter, it helps to be as flexible and adaptable as possible. In addition, make sure that you understand the gist of any leading conversations. Also, any misunderstandings could be the reason you don't feel inclined to cooperate. Many things can begin to shift and change the better once you can see more clearly. Lucky Numbers: 6, 19, 21 SCORPIO This can be an exciting time for you. The urge to explore new options could be very powerful. You may be proactive in making travel plans, signing up for classes, and stepping outside your comfort zone. But you might need to be a bit more careful about financial matters, as delays could snarl up your cash flow. On the other hand, you could be too careful, and some leeway might help. Lucky Numbers: 2, 12, 47 SAGITTARIUS A lovely lineup on Tuesday could encourage you to take the plunge with a group or community project. Whatever occurs over coming days, try not to take any of it too personally. There is a strong likelihood that it will all blow over by next week. Lucky Numbers: 17, 42, 56

CAPRICORN There could be some aspects of your everyday life in which you're trying too hard to accomplish something. This tendency could cause you to feel a little bit exasperated with a plan or project that seems to be stalling. The trick to getting it right may be to stand back and go with the flow for a while. If you can do this, you may find that new and creative ideas come to you that allow your work to proceed more satisfactorily. Lucky Numbers: 4, 13, 29 AQUARIUS Make changes to your daily routines. This might involve revamping your diet or exercise routine or rescheduling activities so you have more time to relax and have fun. You could find that your ideas clash with a friend's, which could put a bit of distance between you. Try not to be anxious, though, as all of this will likely blow over by next week. Lucky Numbers: 3, 9, 23 PISCES Your schedule could be a little bit top heavy, with work taking precedence. However, with a strong focus on home and family affairs, you might feel better if you could strike a balance. Do you really need to attend to all those responsibilities right now? If some of them can wait, put them in your schedule for next week or another time. The chance to be with close ones a is important. Lucky Numbers: 2, 34, 49

Doug Williams: Redskins’ New Senior VP of Player Personnel WI Staff Report Grambling State University’s record-breaking quarterback (1974-77), Doug Williams, and the first Black quarterback to play in and emerge victorious in a Super Bowl (Washington Redskins, Super Bowl XXII), has been promoted by the Redskins to senior vice president of player personnel. The 20-year NFL veteran, who rejoined his former team in 2014 as part of the personnel department, also stands as a member of the 80 Greatest Redskins and a Redskins Ring of Famer. Williams played with the Redskins from 1986-89 and led the team in a 42-10 rout of the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XXII, also garnering MVP honors. Williams, a first-round pick by Tampa Bay in the 1978 NFL Draft (No. 17 overall), led the Buccaneers to the first three playoff appearances in team history. In 1986, the Redskins traded for Williams’ rights following two seasons with the USFL’s Oklahoma Outlaws. In Williams’ Super Bowl XXII MVP performance following the 1987 season, he set or tied several Super Bowl passing records, including most TD passes (four), most yards passing (340), longest pass completion (80 yards) and longest TD pass (80 yards). He started his college head coaching career at Morehouse College in 1997 before returning to his alma mater. In six seasons during his first tenure (1998-2003) at his beloved Grambling State, Williams brought one of the most storied programs in college football history back to prominence, compiling a 52-18 record as head coach after succeeding the legendary Eddie Robinson. Williams led the Tigers to three consecutive Southwestern Athletic Conference titles from 200002 as they were named National Black College Champions during the same three-year span and he was named SWAC Coach of the Year in each of those seasons. He rejoined the program for three seasons from 2011-13, including earning the SWAC title in his first season back in 2011. In 2005, Williams and Shack Harris established The Shack Harris & Doug Williams Foundation, providing grants for after-school initiatives, leadership development, mentoring programs and minority higher education assistance for economically disadvantaged youth. In March of 2009, the foundation put on its first annual Washington Football Legends for Charity in the District. In 2010, the foundation established the Black College Football Hall of Fame, which will move to its new home in Canton, Ohio in 2018. After Super Bowl XLII, the NFL honored the 20th anniversary of Williams’ Super Bowl XXII victory, as Williams was chosen to present the Lombardi Trophy to the New York Giants following their victory over the New England Patriots. He and his wife, Raunda, have eight children: Ashley, Adrian, Carmeleta, Doug, Jr., Jasmine, Laura, Lee and Temessia. WI

EVERY AMERICAN KNOWS LINCOLN FREED THE SLAVES. But did you know that before he freed all the slaves, he freed just one slave?

Her name was Nance, and this children's book is the story of that brave girl who sued for her freedom, and won. Based on decades of painstaking research into court records, this book is the true story of the three Supreme Court trials of the first slave freed by a then-young lawyer, Abraham Lincoln, in Illinois in 1841. Book awards and recognitions: • R.B. Garrett African-American Museum, Peoria, ILL Humanitarian Award • Illinois State Historical Society for Scholarship and Creativity • International Indie Book Award in Education/Academic 2017 • And a Thank You note from Obama White House for Donating a copy to White House Library

BALLOU from Page 1 news to share: every student has been accepted into at least one college or university. “Today is the celebration of our finishing high school. It's done. Although the journey was hard and at times we didn't know if we would make it, the destination was so worth it,” said Kemuel Farmer, class salutatorian. Kemuel’s words set the tone for comments that would follow from DC Mayor Muriel Bowser, Ward 8 Councilmember Trayon White and singer Raheem DeVaughn, a Maryland resident who has made it his mission to help Black youth succeed in the DMV. “We have a lot to celebrate here in our nation’s capital. Our commitment to public education has been the foundation of our city's great renaissance. And Ballou, in so many ways, is an example of that renaissance,” Bowser said. Sitting with his classmates on the school’s football field, graduating senior Randy Sams, 18, said his mind wondered occasionally, not from lack of interest but because he had recently made one of the most challenging decisions of his young life. After applying to some 15 colleges and getting accepted to nearly all of them, he has finally to matriculate at Penn State University. He will be the first in his family to attend college. “What inspired us [to apply to college] was ourselves, but mostly our teachers, because they wanted us to be something in life,” Sams said. To motivate the seniors to apply to college, teachers at Ballou invited alumni to return to their alma mater and share their experiences. Programs such as AVID, in which Randy participated, and College Summit, also assisted greatly in preparing the seniors for college. “Them making it easy for us

MURIEL BOWSER / D.C. Mayor made us want to apply,” Randy said. He first visited Penn State on an overnight trip with a group of his classmates and says the peaceful atmosphere first intrigued him. He observed the tranquility and said he wanted to experience something like it for himself – a much-needed change compared to his life in the District. “Growing up hearing about death and seeing a lot of people die, I guess happens everywhere, but it's so normal here. I just don't want to be in that environment.” Like many other students, his way out has come in the form of an acceptance letter. The youngest of four children raised by a single mother, Randy said he’s counting on his education to provide the foundation for his family’s pending good fortunes. “I wanted to be the first to go to college, to make my mother proud and to one day be able to provide for my family,” Randy added. Dawn Sams, Randy’s mother, sat overwhelmed with emotion as she watched her son cross the stage. After the ceremony, the two celebrated in front of the school entrance. With tears in her eyes, she smiled before they embraced.

“From his struggles from ninth grade to now, it’s a blessing to see his growth. And we did it as a team. He kept pushing. I’m pushing with him,” she said. On June 26, Randy departs for Penn State and summer classes that will put him six credit hours ahead when the fall semester begins. He’ll return home in early August for about a week before returning to Pennsylvania with his mother to officially move into college. “We’re going to make sure he gets settled in,” Sams said. “It’s not good-bye because I’m going to see him again. We’re just going to say, ‘see you later.’ Good-bye means forever and I don’t want us to feel like we’re disconnecting. We’re still connecting. And that’s going to be for a lifetime until God calls us home.” Randy said he hasn’t decided on a major but he’s weighing his options between computer engineering and international relations. And he wants to travel the world throughout his career – leaving, as he says, a trail of determination in his wake. “I want to leave behind a legacy of someone chasing their dream and finally becoming who they want to be, instead of who society portrays them as,” he said.

JERK from Page 34 their meats over open flames fueled by local pimento wood for preservation in the pre-refrigeration days. Jerk spices were derived from the West African love for hot peppers (in Jamaica, the heat is provided by the Scotch Bonnet pepper), combined with indigenous spices, which can include pimento berries, cloves, cinnamon, scallions, nutmeg, thyme, garlic, ginger and perhaps some brown sugar. But as with any good barbecue recipe, the secret ingredients are never revealed and the cooking method can vary, though most defer to the preferred original technique: chicken, pork and even fish and seafood is laid out across a flattened oil barrel punctuated with holes to allow the smoke to infiltrate, over an open charcoal fire. Andre Fowles, chef at renowned New York eatery Miss Lily's and two-time champion of the Food Network's "Chopped," will be demonstrating cooking techniques and dishes in the Culinary Pavilion. PBS' Chef Irie Spice will also be on hand to add flavor in the Culinary Pavilion, along with local chef Giovanni Merle, who has been featured on several local media channels and named one of the top chefs in the United States in Barilla's "Represent Your Region Contest." He also won the 2016 Mason-Dixon Master Chef Tournament. But fiercely competing for the

Phipps, a Grammy-nominated gospel singer, founded the academy in 1998 with the vision of creating an army of young men and women with positive dreams for their lives. Since 2001, the annual Power of A Dream Gala has raised more than $17 million to assist with the provision of high-quality after-school programs specifically tailored for children living in high-risk communities. The Academy said more than 700 young people in seven cities including Baltimore, Houston, Indianapolis, Orlando, Florida, Philadelphia, Salt Lake City and D.C. benefit each day from their programming. "Did you know by the age of 30, 60 percent of all black boys in America who don't graduate from high school will be in prison?" Phipps said. "So we've got to break that cycle."

coveted Dutch Pot Trophy, the Dish Call Competition entrants will pit the vendors against each other for a cash prize and better yet, bragging rights for the Best Jerk. Lucky patrons will have an opportunity to sample different takes on Jerk, or they can weigh in on the varieties of traditional Jerk on hand for the festival. Early arrivals can enjoy the Cultural Stage showcasing traditional dances, folk songs and artistic and literary performances celebrating Jamaica's 55th year of independence. A fashion and dance show by Divine Divas will put Caribbean fashion and contemporary dance on display while Carnival masqueraders, storytelling and music from a young violinist from Barbados, Mylez Gittens, will keep the activities lively and diverse. An expanded Kidz Zone offers interactive activities and a special children's menu, complete with jerk burgers, grilled hot dogs, ice cream and cotton candy. The DC Jerk Festival kicks off at 11 a.m. and runs through 8 p.m. Tickets are available at www.dcjerkfestival.com and selected Caribbean retail outlets. Children 12 and under are free. Attendees can take the Blue or Orange Metro lines to Stadium-Armory Station, and onsite parking will be available at RFK as well. The Grace Jamaican Jerk Festival is co-presented by the Institute of Caribbean Studies in conjunction with the Jamaican Jerk Festival NY and VP Records. WI Youth in need can access the programs through their schools in communities where they live. "We partner with the schools, teachers, principles and they let us know which children could really use our help," Phipps said. "We don't really talk about it in our community, but most of us have family members that are incarcerated or have been incarcerated." Phipps agreed that incarceration continues to be a taboo subject, but said it must be faced head-on. "You never know whose life you're going to touch," he said. "Thirty years ago [when] I was a gospel singer singing in Baltimore, I felt a tap on my shoulder and a lady told me she wanted to talk to me. She came over to my house and we prayed and God put it in on my heart to tell her you're going to speak to millions, and that lady was Oprah Winfrey." WI

What Comey did not say is perhaps more important than what he actually said. Topics he scrupulously avoided in open session included a question about the relationship between a Russian development bank linked to President Vladimir Putin and meetings last year of bank officials with White House advisor and son-in-law Jared Kushner. This could be one hint of where the Mueller investigation is going. Kushner will be meeting with Senate investigators short. "This is about America," Mr. Comey kept saying. Russia "tried to shape the way we think, we vote, we act. They're coming after America. They want to undermine our credibility in the world." Why are you not concerned, Mr. President? WI

course of the FBI's ongoing investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election, as well as possible collusion by the Trump campaign. When Comey was fired, the White House said his dismissal was a result of the FBI's handling of the investigation of Hillary Clinton's emails. Who can forget then-candidate Trump encouraging Russia — one of America's geopolitical adversaries — to hack Clinton's emails and release them to the public? Whatever you think of Hillary, she is a fellow American. Incredulously, the American public is to believe that the president, who five months into his presidency continues to trash Clinton as a

"dishonorable and corrupt human being" and "crooked Hillary," was suddenly so offended by how she was treated by the FBI under Comey's leadership that he had to fire him. Really?! Such thinking and reasoning defies all common sense and even remedial logic. We have the president himself to thank for why he fired Comey. In the transcript of a meeting with Russian officials in the Oval Office, he said, "I just fired the head of the FBI He was crazy, a real nut job. I faced great pressure from Russia. That's taken off." If that is not obstruction of justice, then what is? Needless to say, Bill Clinton was unhappy with Starr's appointment. Clinton, however, had the good sense not to fire his attorney general.

ture, the Illinois reform will put the state on the side of democracy. Much more needs to be done to strengthen voting rights, including everything from ending partisan gerrymandering to curbing the corrosive role of big money in our politics. With automatic voter registration, Illinois will take a first step. With popular organizing and mobilization, it will hopefully be the first of many. WI

The Brennan Center reports that five states — Iowa, Arkansas, North Dakota, Indiana and Georgia — have already enacted bills to cut back on voting access in the most recent session of state legislatures. Thirty-three bills to make voter registration more burdensome have been introduced into 22 states. Instead of being a matter of bipartisan consensus, voting rights remains contested

clude: 1. Enforce the GSEs obligations that guarantee sustainable access to credit and affordable housing — especially for low- to moderate-income consumers living in underserved communities. These are the same consumers who have been left out of the nation's financial recovery. 2. Authorize the recapitalization of both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac with guidelines that allow a reasonable economic return. 3. Curb the practice of added costs to mortgage loan originations, fees that add costs to the mortgage origination costs known as loan level price adjustments or LLPAs. These fees lock out 5.2 million potential borrowers due to unnecessarily tight credit restrictions. 4. Fully fund HUD's Housing Trust Fund. "Access and affordability are central tenants of the nation's housing finance system. Two others are safety and soundness," said Nikitra Bailey, CRL Executive Vice President. "Any GSE reform must protect affordable housing goals and advance the GSEs' duty to serve. All credit-worthy consumer in every region of the nation should have a real opportunity to pursue their homeownership dreams. WI

urged legislative reform of Fannie and Freddie, despite some reforms already enacted. For communities of color, the next decade is projected to demographically change to majority minority. According to the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard, seven out of every 10 new households formed will be families of color. In addition, the future of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac is tied to several statutory mandates that include requirements for the GSEs to share responsibility in reaching affordable housing goals, as well as access to credit that is free from discrimination. In a broad sense, today's public policy housing debate is also an opportunity to learn from the mistakes of the past and craft new policies that will avoid their recurrence. "The nation's housing finance system has never worked for people of color," noted Lisa Rice, executive vice president of the National Fair Housing Alliance. "The system was originally and purposefully designed to exclude these consumers. That construct infused barriers to equal access into the system and those barriers have never been unwound. "As a result people of color face grave difficulties when trying to

access credit," Rice said. "This means that the Affordable Housing Goals must be strengthened and the resources and resolve to achieve them must be set in place." Vanita Gupta, president and CEO of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, said Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's special relationship with the federal government means the mortgage financiers have "special responsibilities to the public as well." "Most importantly, part of their business has to be based in low-income communities that have historically been underserved," Gupta said. "If Congress decides to overhaul the housing finance system, any entities that take the place of Fannie and Freddie and enjoy the same protections must also meet the same responsibilities." As the housing market continues to grapple with historical discrimination that resulted in persistent and growing racial wealth gaps, it must also adapt to new 21st century challenges as well. Many millennials are shunning or delaying homeownership due to heavy student debt. Future policies must find a way to serve a diverse marketplace and protect taxpayers from more financial bailouts. Among remedies offered for thoughtful debate and action in-

their so-called liberal bona fides. I believe the word has no place in public discourse, much less in the enlightened sphere of intellectual debate. Curiously, the reaction among black intellectuals to Bill Maher's verbal attack has been typically passive. They seem to have taken it on the chin and let him off the hook. No one has seriously demanded Maher's resignation from HBO, and there has been no organized boycott of his sponsors at the network. Can you imagine the reaction if a conservative host on Fox News or any conservative media channel was caught using the N-word? The black community would be in total uproar, on the warpath, seeking blood, guts and retribution. And yet we've heard barely a peep from the black intellectual elite that polices conservatives' speech like a mall cop on steroids. The reason black intellectuals won't challenge Maher — and

the reason he still has a show after the N-word incident — is because they can't. Maher is smart. He calculates that he can get away with a lot more offense now that Trump is in the White House. With a guy like Trump on the other side of the street, he reasons, where are black folks going to go? They have no choice but to stay on the liberal plantation, no matter how much abuse the liberal elite heaps on them. Sadly, Maher's cynical calculus seems to be correct. Now that he has gotten away with it, Maher's behavior, despite his tepid apology, is likely to get worse, not better. In the meantime, black intellectuals will undoubtedly accept these betrayals as the so-called "price of progress." They will lie to themselves and justify such open racism, because, at the end of the day, they think it preferable to be kept on at the Democratic plantation than to leave and have to face big, bad Donald Trump on their own.

to. And one truth is surely that the nation's HBCUs are as relevant and necessary now as when some of them were founded over 150 years ago. These institutions were an antidote to the racist policies that, in some cases, banned educating black students. At a time where college costs are going up, and attacks on black students on predominant-

ly white campuses are on the rise, the need for black colleges is greater than ever. As a government, we have to continue to ensure that funding is there to keep this pipeline going. And as private citizens, we have to open our wallets to ensure the longterm viability of the institutions that are working for us and our communities. WI

remains should a fatality occur — my dog tags said I was a Muslim. I didn't know much or anything about my new faith, but, there I was, a self-declared Black Muslim at the U.S. Naval Officer Candidate School in the summer of 1967. It was a tumultuous year. The Vietnam War and opposition to it and to all forms of military service was rising all over the country. The very popular song of the season, which often moved me to tears because I had come east from San Jose State, the southern frontier of the San Francisco Bay Area, was by Scott McKenzie. The lyrics: "If you're going to San Francisco, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair. If you're going to San Francisco, you're going to meet some gentle people there…" And then there were urban riots spreading all around. In 1965, I had been at home in Los Angeles when the Watts rebellion took place. I say rebellion, rather than riot, because I understood and felt that uprising was about much more than looting stores. One "liberty weekend" when

I was permitted off the base for leisure, recreation, I found my way to Hurley's Bar in Newport. It was the "black" bar in town, and I felt more comfortable there than I had with any of the others in my company on tours of the mansions, or yachts, or even at the Newport Blues Festival the day Janis Joplin performed. Everything was fine, until I heard reports of "race riots" in nearby Providence, the urban hub, just 17 miles away.
