African American Board Leadership Institute Honors Community & Business Visionary Partners By Gloria Zuurveen Editor-in-Chief

LOS ANGELES—African American Board Leader-ship Institute (AABLI) honored Union Bank and the Ralph M., Parsons Foundation as recipients of its 2018 Vision Awards on Wednesday, May 16 at the AABLI’s annual Tribute Recep-tion at the City Club in Los An-geles.

Hundreds were in attendance to show honor and recognition to Union Bank, repre-sented by Sylvia Castillo, direc-tor, foundation and community outreach officer, for their invest-ment of philanthropic dollars into communities with the expectation of a return of healthy communi-ties. According AABLI’s spokes-person, Victoire Prothro, Union Bank’s support of AABLI has provided leaders for nonprofit, government and educational or-ganizations that govern those target communities. Healthy com-munities attracts more businesses and provide more jobs, resulting in more financial resources ser-vices. The Ralph M. Parson Foundation, represented by Wen-dy Garen, president & CEO, which was established in 1961 has distributed over $18 million in grants last year.

Similar to AABLI, the Foundation focuses on work to increase diversity at the decision-making level with Los Angeles County, one of the most exciting dynamic, complex, and quickly evolving environments in the country.

Castillo, after accepting the honor presented to her by Carl Ballton (Founding Board Mem-ber), President & Chief Executive Officer MUFG Union Bank Foundation (Ret.), said, “We must be seated firmly at the table. Our voices need to be heard.”

Garen said, “Let’s face it we need diversity in the board room. I know how important it is to have a pipeline of civic leader-ship that really reflect the diversi-ty in our community.”

Publisher’s Column

Hello Readers, Praise God from whom all blessings flow. We are blessed and highly favored as a people. We have endured more than any people and we are still here in good times and in bad. Black people are a resilient people. We have survived depression, recession, oppression and segregation and we are still here. We have been here in these United States of America in the best of times and in the worst of times and the Lord has kept us in the midst. We are bless and we are special. We can make if we do not faint. We must keep the faith and fight on in times where it seems that Blacks are under attack for just being black. We must know that we can make if we try and if we simply keep our heads up and press on. On Tuesday, Israel Johannes Matthews will graduate from the 8th grade and I am so proud because I know it was God who brought him through.

Open Letter To Starbucks By Phillip Jackson From the BLACKPRESSUSA

…the Starbucks decision to fix this public relations problem with “diversity training” is not the Howard Schultz or even the Starbucks way. Rather than work with the Black community towards a solution to this potentially international issue, Starbucks turned to themselves and created a program for diversity training that includes closing their stores for one day and hiring the highest-priced diversity trainers money can buy.

If Howard Shultz wasn’t the founder of Starbucks, he would have been one of the boycott protesters with us. He said he was “embarrassed” and “ashamed” by the arrest of two Black men in a Starbucks Store in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania who were taken away by police and subsequently held for 9 hours in a Philadelphia jail for the crime of sitting in a Starbucks store and not ordering coffee.

Starbucks is widely known as a good opera-tor and an overall good guy in American business circles with its clean stores, open meeting spaces, free Wi-Fi; strong community relations, and its great busi-ness model consisting of good jobs with fair benefits.

But the Starbucks decision to fix this public relations problem with “diversity training” is not the Howard Schultz or even the Starbucks way. Rather than work with the Black community towards a solution to this potentially international issue, Starbucks turned to themselves and created a program for diversity training that includes closing their stores for one day and hir-ing the highest-priced diversity trainers money can buy.

The Black community wanted to know, “How will we, the Black community–aggrieved by this incident and aggrieved every day–how will we be better because of your “diversity training”?

The only answer Starbucks could give was, after the training

“You will be better because we will be better.” Sorry! Not good enough! Numerous studies by Harvard University, MIT, Tel Aviv Univer-

sity and others show that diversity training doesn’t work and can produce the opposite of intended outcomes. These studies conclude that decades of cultural, racial and environmental bias and prejudice cannot be eradicated with one or 50 or 100 “diversity trainings.” In fact, such “trainings” can cause those hard-wired feelings to become more deeply entrenched thus resulting in the opposite of the sought-after effect.

The Chicago Boycott – Case Study In Chicago, The Black Star Project organized a 12-store boycott

of Starbucks. During the boycott, no anger was displayed. No one was arrested. No windows were broken. No stores were firebombed. Instead, there was plenty of dialogue. Dialogue is the Starbucks way. There were reports of Starbucks’ employees offering the boycotters free coffee and standing with the protesters. Protesters held doors open for elderly custom-ers who did not honor the boycott. One protester even offered to buy a Starbucks coffee for the sick father of a man who expressed guilt about violating the boycott, but explained that his dad could only drink one kind of coffee—only available at Starbucks. It seemed as though boycotters and boycottees had reached a human accord — The Starbucks Way.

The Chicago boycott organizers are now planning community forums at more than 300 Black-owned or managed coffee houses, as well as at faith-based and community-based organizations across the U.S., espe-cially near the 12 Starbucks stores previously boycotted. These community

forums will serve as “Black Economic Empowerment Forums”, where attendees will develop plans to improve the economic vitality of their com-munities.

We wanted Starbucks to be part of this initiative. So far, they have said no. Starbucks is really one of the “good guys” in corporate America but working with the community will only make them better. It’s important to understand that even with over 9,000 stores throughout Amer-ica, Starbucks shops are really only guests in these communities.

Meet Howard Schultz, Executive Chairman of the Board of Di-rectors

Howard Schultz, Founder and Executive Chairman of the Starbucks Board of Directors does understand Starbucks culture and he understands America. He knows that the Starbucks success is tied to communi-ties’ success. He is unafraid to try new ideas even though those ideas might fail. However, this seems not to be the Starbucks way today. In 2015, Star-bucks tried to convene a ‘Race Together” dialogue through its stores. America was not ready then. In 2018, America is coming apart racially, socially and religiously. America is now ready for Howard Schultz’ ideas. But this effort cannot be owned by Starbucks alone. Other corporations, government

agencies at all levels, foundations, faith-based and civic organizations along with social institutions and others must partner with Starbucks to make America and the world better.

Mr. Schultz’ leadership style has been described as transforma-tional. He does not think like a businessperson. He thinks like a person wanting to make the world a better place. But even he, super-rich, power-ful, and well-intentioned, needs the help of the world to achieve this trans-formational vision and reality. Starbucks, well established in business his-tory, now has a chance to establish itself in human history.

In the words of Mr. Schultz: “…if we think about the country today — and I’m not talking about politics — I think the country needs to become more compassionate, more empathic. And we can’t speak about the promise of America and the American Dream and leave millions of people behind. And it’s my view that — leave Washington aside and all the politics aside — businesses and business leaders need to do a lot more for the people we employ, the communities we serve, and we can make a significant difference.”

So where does Starbucks go from here? Schultz says that he knows the Starbucks chain “won’t bridge the

racial divide on its own” and that a coffee company “can only do so much.” However, he hopes to keep pushing forward and pursue initiatives that matter to him with the “same vigor he pursues corporate profits.”

The Montgomery Bus Boycott that changed America forever lasted 381 days. The Starbucks Boycott is only 33 days old. Only 348 days to go.

By Geneviève M. Clavreul PACE NEWS Contributor PACE readers may recall my recent editorial regarding the April 16thMeeting of the Ad Hoc Committee on Black Peo-ple Experiencing Homelessness which seemed to be all about the pubic listening to LAHSA rather than LAHSA listening to the public. The meeting which lasted four hours reserved very little time for the public to speak as the first two hours were practically devoured by LAHSA commissioners talking

about themselves and providing their thoughts on this crisis, then another al-most two hours were reserved to a presentation by LAHSA consultants/employees. In the end a measly 15 minutes or less were given over to the public – needless to say I was not amused! One of my suggestions that I made in my editorial was that it might be a better idea that instead of holding the meetings at their downtown offices where parking can cost a person close to $30.00, LAHSA should consider holding their meetings at provider’s offices and rotate the meetings around the county to enable more community input.

So imagine my surprise when this weekend I received an email, forwarded to me by another individual, announcing the next two meetings of the Ad Hoc Committee on Black People Experiencing Homelessness. The email announced both the date and location of the May and June meetings and guess what – they are not at the LAHSA downtown office – at least someone was paying attention to a portion of article! The meetings are all in Los Ange-les and are schedule to be held on:

*Friday, May 18th from 3:00 – 5:00 PM at the James Woods Com-munity Center located at 400 E. 5th Street, Los Angeles 90013,

*Thursday, June 7th from 3:00 – 5:00 PM at Broadway Manchester Service Center

8525 S Broadway and, *Thursday, June 14th from 6:30 – 8:30 PM at Holman United Meth-

odist Church – White Hall located at 3320 W. Adams Blvd. In their email they “invite you to please join us in sharing your

thoughts and perspectives at one of the community listening sessions”. I had requested that LAHSA placed me on the list to receive meetings announce-ments, a request that apparently was ignored. Since these meetings have been advertised as Brown Act meetings, then my request to be notified should be honored; failing to do so can be considered a violation of the Brown Act.

LAHSA is the primary recipient of the millions of dollars being generated by voter approved Measure H (which levied a .25% county sales tax for 10 years to fund homeless services and prevention). LAHSA is the public/private agency that serves as the conduit of these funds to the various home-less services agencies throughout the County. Meanwhile, I’m still waiting to hear back from Mr. Peter Lynn regarding my request to meet.

As the money or as politicians like to say as revenue from Measure H rolls in, it becomes imperative that the public pay attention. This is espe-cially true for those communities most impacted by homelessness, such as the African-American community that accounts for 40% of those experiencing homelessness when they are only 9 % of the population here in LA county.

Staying informed of “Measure H” meetings is crucial and you can be sure that there are some people who really don’t want certain communities to be in the “know”.

Unfortunately, my “joy” at this apparent turn-around would be short-lived, as I would learn at this past Tuesday’s Board of Supervisors meeting. At Tuesday’s meeting Item 2 following a joint motion from Supervisors Solis and Barger announced that it would appear that homelessness only occurs on the weekdays! Apparently they attempted to accesses services for constituents during weekend hours, only to learn that LAHSA isn’t open on weekends. Imagine that an agency charged with serving some of our most needy brothers and sisters and they are closed on the weekends – outrageous!

My outrage was fueled even more after I had the opportunity to review their organizational chart and the recently completed County audit of LAHSA. Imagine this 25-year old, 200 million-plus agency still doesn’t even have a CFO (as per their May 1, 2018 organizational chart) even though I’m pretty positive they informed the Board of Supervisors in April that they were in the process of hiring someone. LAHSA has 364 budgeted positions of which 308 are filled leaving 56 positions vacant. While 56 vacant positions may not seem like a lot, many of them of those positions, such as: Chief Fi-nancial Office, Chief Program Officer, Supervisor Internal Monitoring, Quali-ty Coordinator, Coordinator-Permanent Housing Inventory and so on has this citizen concerned about the organization’s health and ability to meet its man-date, remain unfilled as of the May 2018 published LAHSA organization chart.

Over my 40+years I’ve had the opportunity to hold many positions, one of these was as a member of specialized quality assurance team for AMI. We were a small 3 – 4 person team whose mission was to go to one of the many AMI-owned hospitals and perform a quality assurance (which was al-ways unannounced) assessment and report directly to the president of AMI. On May 2nd, I submitted a brief one-page description of just such a quality assurance team for Measure H funds, assess LAHSA and other Measure H providers and report their findings directly to the Board of Supervisors. I know that Supervisor Barger has forwarded my suggestion to Mr. Phil Ansell, Director of the Office of Homeless Initiatives – and for the record I’m still waiting to hear Mr. Ansell.

Why all this “wringing of hands and gnashing of teeth” about LAH-SA and its current challenges. As per the May 10, 2018 Board letter “Strengthening the Accountability of Measure H Funds (Item Number 7, Agenda of April 10, 2018) the LA County Auditor-Controller provided this eye-popping information. In the Fiscal Year (FY) 2016-17 LAHSA adminis-tered programs totaling $105.5 million, of which $18.2 million (17.28%) was federally funded, $46.5 million (44.07%) was funded by the City of Los Ange-les (City), $40.4 million (38.29%) was funded by the County, and $382,000 (0.36%) was funded through other sources. So with LAHSA receiving 99.64% of their funding from the taxpayers they are more a Public entity than a Private entity and thus have a greater responsibility to be transparent and responsive.

Could it be? Is LAHSA beginning to listen? Apparently Not!

CLBC Welcomes Debbie Lumpkin as New Deputy Inspector General for Diversity and Business Development

Sacramento – Wednesday evening the California Legislative Black Caucus (CLBC), along with Governor Jerry Brown, welcomed Debbie Lumpkin of Los Angeles, as Deputy Inspector General for Di-versity and Small Business Devel-opment in the Office of Audits and Investigations, at the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). The Office of Audits and Investigation is responsible for services that assist management in accomplishing Caltrans’ objectives, setting priorities, and improving accountability to diverse communi-ty groups. Lumpkin is a proven and devoted leader in every sense of the word. She has singlehandedly creat-ed opportunities for many minority, women, disabled, and veteran owned businesses across Califor-nia,“Lumpkin is a proven and de-voted leader in every sense of the word. She has singlehandedly creat-ed opportunities for many minority, women, disabled, and veteran owned businesses across Califor-nia,” said Caucus Chair, Assembly-member Chris Holden (D-Pasadena). “Advocating for her in this new role was something that came easy for the CLBC. We know she has the best interest of all com-munity groups in our State. I am confident that she excel at Caltrans in this new role.”

“I have known Ms. Lump-kin for many years, dating back to my time at Southern California Edison. I can attest to Ms. Lump-kin’s abilities, work ethic, profes-sional character, and most im-

portantly, her pledge to diversity towards Californias,” said Vice Chair Senator Steven Bradford (D-Gardena). “I can guarantee she will handle her new position with the same inventive and dynamic spirit that she has afforded every commu-nity she has served.” “Serving the great people of California in this capacity excites me. Over the next 10 years, Senate Bill 1 is estimated to generate $52 billion in new con-tracts; someone needs to monitor them. This position has the poten-tial to impact all community groups that represent California”, said Lumpkin. She is a founder and part-ner of her own consulting company and has represented major corpora-tions and diverse communities na-tionwide, since 2013.

Bishop Michael Curry to Speak at Royal Wedding

“On the way back, between the two of us, we were trying to de-termine how could we get the mem-bers of St. James to understand that this is the person that we need as our rector,” Griffin said. “It was just that tremendous, in hearing him.”

Curry’s distinction at the time was his evangelical style.

“He came down from the altar, he walked the floor as he talked to us, he wore his microphone, he

was enthusiastic about everything,” Griffin said. “Everything he shared with us.”

Curry’s approachability also defined his moments between delivering the Gospel.

“There was no problem in getting to talk with him or having him show the interest that parishion-ers were interested in having, when they talked or were with their rector or their priest,” Griffin said.

In 2000, Curry was elected Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of North Carolina. In 2015, he was elected in the first ballot to preside as bishop and primate of the Episcopal Church. It will be as the leader of a territory of the Anglican Communion that spans across the United States, South and Central America, the Car-ibbean, Taiwan and Micronesia. Cur-ry is the first Black presiding bishop and primate.

“I heard him say that when he got elected, he would be the ‘CEO of the Episcopal Church,’ and went on to say ‘Chief Evangelism Officer,’ said Father Charles Cloughen, an Episcopal priest and friend and col-league of Curry from seminary school. “But that’s how he was, he’s very big on evangelism, the Jesus Movement, and presenting a living Jesus Christ to the world around him.” Curry’s unique charismatic style, emblematic of the Jesus Move-ment, likely stems from the Baptist and Episcopal traditions shared by his parents, Cloughen says.

“His presence is incredi-ble,” Cloughen told the AFRO. “I credit part of that to his Baptist grandmother. His father was an Epis-copal priest. They went to a church in the South and Communion was to be done and the Episcopal Church would practice a common chalice. And his father was not Episcopalian, but his wife went up and took Com-munion and he thought they’ll never give her the same chalice that White people are going to be drinking from.”

“His father sat there, and said ‘Oh my God, what’s gonna hap-

pen now?’ Cloughen continued, re-counting Curry’s story of his father. “‘Will we be asked to leave? What’s going on?’ And the priest gave her the wine from the common chalice.”

Curry is one of several speakers at the May 19 wedding of Prince Harry and actress Meghan Markle, whose mother is African American and father is White. Cur-ry’s mission and evangelism will cross the Atlantic in the coming days, but he has a history of crossing de-nominations here in the United States.

“The love that has brought and will bind Prince Harry and Ms. Meghan Markle together has its source and origin in God, and is the key to life and happiness. And so we celebrate and pray for them today,” Curry said in a statement.

Upon assuming rectorship of St. James, Curry initiated a reviv-al. “The revivalist was from the AME church,” Griffin said. “It was Dr. John Bryant who came as the revivalist. That’s how open [Curry] was, that’s how involved he was in the community and we continued that even after he left. Probably because we were still thinking of the influ-ence that he had on us. Probably thinking, we wanted to make him proud of us, also.”

“He’s a truly spiritual lead-er, a gifted and person who clearly knows God,” Alice Pinderhughes, Chancellor of St. James told the AF-RO. “He always was a very upright person and always concerned about people. He always put the church, always put St. James above every-thing else.”

A former Baltimore rector will speak at the royal wedding at Windsor Castle in England on Satur-day.

Born 1953 in Chicago, Illinois, Curry attended public schools in Buffalo, New York. He attained a Masters in Divinity from Yale; going on to study at Princeton, Wake Forest and the Ecumenical Institute at St. Mary’s Seminary in Baltimore.

He was ordained a priest in 1978, ministering to St. Stephens, Winston-Salem, North Carolina. In 1982, he became rector of St. Simon in Cyrene, Lincoln Heights, Ohio.

A St. James delegation traveled to Ohio in search of a new rector to replace Rev. Donald Wil-son, who had retired in 1986.

“We were in awe,” senior warden Dr. Charlene Griffin told the AFRO. She and her companion, Candace Simms, returned to Balti-more resolved.

White Woman Calls Police on Black Real Estate Investor, But it Backfires on Her!

Photo by Gloria Zuurveen Virgil Roberts with two volunteers and Yvette Chappell-Ingram.

Michael Hayes, an Afri-can American real estate investor in Memphis, Tennessee, was basi-cally doing his job inspecting a house when a white woman ac-cused him of burglary and called the police. But it backfired on her when the authorities listened to Hayes and told the woman that if she continues to interrupt his job, she would be arrested instead!

In the past few weeks, there have been incidents of racial profiling wherein white people call police on black people for shopping while black, dining while black, or any other things just because they look “suspicious.”

On May 5, Michael Hayes was inspecting and taking photos of a house in need of a repair as a part of his job as a real estate investor. It was at that time when a white woman from a neighboring house came and questioned what he was doing.

Hayes explained to her that he is an investor looking at the property and that the home-

owner knew he would be there. He also showed her the investment contract signed by the owner, as well as the written permission indicating that he is allowed to

enter the house. The woman, how-ever, still called the police as if he was trying to commit burglary. When the police arrived, Hayes

began recording a video and ex-plained to them what he was doing there. Favorably, the officers un-derstood the situation and defend-

ed Hayes’ right to be there. “Even if you are inside the residence, and have a perceived burglary unless I’ve got a victim and owner, I can’t prosecute,” the officer can be heard saying in the video. Hayes responded, “Do you mind telling her that because I really don’t want her behind me. I honestly feel threatened.” He continued, “If there’s a way that I can do this, I’d like to file a complaint against her… She came out and threat-ened to call the police on me and was screaming and shouting.” Hayes said in the video that the officers, as well as the other neighbors, were on his side.

“If you have any prob-lems with her, what I want you to do is call me back over here,” a male officer reassured Hayes. “She will go to jail for that.”

The officer also asked the woman to let Hayes to his job and gave her a warning.

“Hurry up, do it and get out!” the woman then told Hayes.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT NEWS In Cannes, Spike Lee lambasts Trump Over White Supremacists

(Continued from page 7) “He can take all day,”

the officer responded. At Hayes’ request due

to his discomfort, the officers agreed to stay outside as he

took photos of the property. The video, which

Hayes’ himself posted on YouTube, now has over 2 mil-lion views and counting. “You know why the lady called the

police on me,” he said toward the end of the video. “But at the end of the day, she did not just want me in her neighbor-hood.”

White Woman Calls Police on Black Real Estate Investor, But it Backfires on Her!

By The Associated Press In a passionate, expletive-

ridden monologue at the Cannes Film Festival, director Spike Lee lambast-ed Donald Trump for the U.S. presi-dent’s response to last year’s violent White supremacist protest in Char-lottesville, Virginia.

Lee spoke to reporters Tuesday after his “BlacKkKlansman” premiered May 14 at Cannes to a rousing standing ovation. The 1979-set film, loosely based on a true story, is about Black police detective Ron Stallworth (played by John David Washington, Denzel’s son) and a Jewish detective (Adam Driver) who together infiltrat-ed a Ku Klux Klan cell in Colorado. Topher Grace plays former KKK leader David Duke.

The 61-year-old filmmaker said that following the violence in Charlottesville, the U.S. president had the opportunity to denounce the Ku Klux Klan and the alt-right. But Trump instead chose to say there was “blame on both sides” in the unrest between the neo-Nazi groups and counter-protesters.

He said Trump — whom he refused to call by name — had “a chance to say we are about love and not hate,” and sharply criticized him for not denouncing the KKK. “It was a defining moment and he could have said to the United States and the

world that we’re better than that,” said Lee. “BlacKkKlansman,” pro-duced by Jordan Peele (director of “Get Out”), concludes by connecting the period tale with today. It ends with actual footage from Char-lottesville, as well as Trump’s tele-vised response. The final image is an upside-down American flag that fades to black and white.

Focus Features will release the film in August, on the year anni-versary of Charlottesville.

Having already wrapped the film, Lee added the Char-lottesville coda after the unrest last summer. “Right away, I knew that this had to be the coda for the film, but I had to do something first,” said Lee. Before inserting footage of the car that plowed through crowds in

Virginia, killing counter-protester Heather Heyer, Lee said he tele-phoned Heyer’s mother. “I was not going to put that murder scene in the film without her blessing,” said Lee.

Lee called Charlottesville an “ugly, ugly, ugly blemish on America,” but he also repeatedly stressed to the international Cannes media that the racism depicted in “BlacKkKlansman” isn’t unique to the United States. “This right -wing (expletive) is not just America. It’s all over the world. And we have to wake up,” said Lee. “We can’t be silent. It’s not black, white, or brown. It’s every-body. We all live on this planet, and this guy in the White House has the nuclear code. I go to bed thinking about it.” At the premiere Monday, Lee was outfitted in a shiny purple-and-orange tuxedo and wore one ring declaring “love” on one hand, and “hate” on the other, paying homage to the jewelry won by the character Radio Raheem in his previous film “Do the Right Thing.” He bounced into the premiere at the Palais an-nouncing: “Brooklyn’s in the house!”

Lee has frequently debuted films at Cannes, including “Do the Right Thing” in 1989. He hopes “BlacKkKlansman” ”shakes people from their slumber.”

“I know it in my heart,” said Lee. “We’re on the right side of history with this film.”

Director Spike Lee showed his new film ‘BlacKkKlansman’ at the 71st international film festival, Cannes, southern France. (Photo by Joel C Ryan/Invision/AP)
