■ They resisted the Vietnam-era draft andnow recount the aftermath of their decision

BY GREGG REESEOW CONTRIBUTOR

One spring day, some 40 years after the turmoil ofthe Vietnam Era had died down, Ayuko Babu foundhimself in Venice Beach, examining a memorial ded-icated to veterans of the Iraqi-Afghan War thenunder way.

Also present were several middle-aged AfricanAmericans who had come of age during the VietnamWar, many of them homeless, and eventually the con-versation turned to these men’s experiences as com-batants in that conflict, and the misfortune that hadbefallen them in the interim.

In recalling the events that led to their currentdestitute situation, Babu, a draft resister, questionedthe rationale behind their compliance in obeying thecall to arms. Their basic explanation was the desire to“not get into trouble.” Babu then noted that this wishto avoid punishment was actually the root cause oftheir decades-long condition of physical privationand emotional misery.

In some circles, the draft is associated with classinequity, as the working and lower class are dispro-portionally represented among the actual combatantsin a given war. This sentiment has been echoedrecently, during the course of the military interven-tion in the Middle East, by Korean War veteran andU.S. Representative Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.), who hassuggested a return to the draft to create a more equi-table make-up of the armed forces, more accuratelyreflecting the U.S. population.

To drive this point home, it might be helpful toperuse a brief list of notables who avoided participa-tion in the war that caused so much dissension onthe home front:

John Ascroft, Dick Cheney, Bill Clinton, BillO’Reilly, and Karl Rove, student deferments; PatBuchanan, Pete Coors, Clarence Thomas, andDonald Trump, medical and student deferments;Mitt Romney (exempted to spend his time as aMormon missionary in Paris, France); SylvesterStallone (Rambo himself) who fled the country to goto Sweden to coach girl’s volleyball; and Ted Nugent(classified “4-F,” not qualified for physical, mental, ormoral standards).

Babu agrees with Rangel’s assessment: “It’s becomea mercenary army—made up poor people and for-eign people eager to get their green cards and citizen-ship, and bring their families into the USA.”

Of course, the most famous figure to emerge fromthe draft resistance movement of this era isMuhammad Ali. His landmark statement “No VietCong ever called me n****r,” resounded among ageneration of disenfranchised Black youth, helped lifthim to the mantel of cultural icon, and the statementitself was propelled into the strata of mythology,where even historians are not sure these were theexact words the champ said.

Babu’s upbringing in Wyoming and experiences asan athlete (he came to Los Angeles as a basketballplayer for Cal State L.A.) increased his awareness ofthe racial realities and social injustice existing in theUnited States. These feelings were accelerated withthe increase of hostilities in Indochina, and the pushfor equality across America.

His first formal conflict with institutional racism

as expressed through the law came during a March1965 “sit-in” (a form of nonviolent protest popularduring those times) at the Federal Building down-town to protest the beating and tear-gassing of civilrights workers on “Bloody Sunday,” at the EdmundPettus Bridge in Selma, Ala. As one of the deputizedofficials kicked a female African American student,Babu grabbed and pushed the man away to preventthe woman from further injury.

“I was outraged that that this racist cracker woulddo something like this, and I was outraged that socie-ty would give him license to feel free to kick a Blackwoman in the stomach! This time, on my watch, thiswas not going to happen!”

He, in turn, was arrested and charged with afelony. Presiding Judge Charles Carr challenged theprosecution’s case, asking “why are you trying to givethis kid a felony for what is essentially a fight?”

Instead, Carr administered a misdemeanor ofsimple assault and a six-month sentence for attackingan official on government property.

Babu spent his jail time on his bunk, eager toavoid the guards’ efforts to write him up for anyinfraction and extend his sentence ala “SoledadBrother” George Jackson.

After his release in November (four months and18 days for good behavior), he immediately receiveda draft notice—since he’d lost his student defermentwhile in jail, a coincidence that suggests collusionbetween the state correctional system and the draftbroad.

He, in turn, refused induction, joined theFreedom Draft Movement led by Levi Kingston, andhis activities expanded to include passing out leafletsat the Armed Forces Center on Broadway in down-town, which instructed potentially service-boundmen on how to avoid armed service. He also coun-seled draft-age African American men.

The next few years found him being drafted seventimes, enduring multiple arrests, and a 90-day stay atthe Wayside Honor Ranch in Castaic.

A reprieve came with his 26th birthday, whichmeant that he was no longer eligible for the draft.

*Norman Otis Richmond’s parents, like scores of

other Black folks, were taken aback by the brutalmurder of Emmitt Till and similar incidents in the1950s. Militancy was a trait that resonated through-out their family.

Richmond remembers, “My parents feared that Imight [grow up to] be one of those Black boys thatwould be outspoken. Being outspoken is part of myDNA.”

This motivated the Richmonds to relocate withtheir 6-month-old son from Louisiana to LosAngeles, reasoning that the South was no place for aBlack man likely to speak freely in the presence ofWhite people. Life in Southern California was, to saythe least, a different world culturally from the onethey’d left. Young Norman was, by turns, swayed bythe rhetoric of the Black Muslims via his attendanceat Temple No. 27, and regular discussions aboutpolitical events on the African continent. The assassi-nation of Congolese Prime Minister PatriceLumumba in 1961 especially impacted him.

Aside from these challenges to his political con-sciousness, the transplanted Californian cultivated tal-ents in athletics (running the sprint relays in the JuniorOlympics with future L.A. Dodger Willie Crawford)and music (singing first tenor and recording local hits)

through his maturation at Fremont High and beyond. Around this time, Richmond realized that ideologi-

cally he was closer to the tenets of Malcolm X than toElijah Muhammad, whose teachings he’d been exposedto at Temple No. 27 at 56th and Broadway. These senti-ments were nurtured by his enrollment at Los AngelesCity College where he joined the Red Guard, a Marxiststudy group, and the presence of future Black PantherAlprentice “Bunchie” Carter, a sharp dresser with aflock of admiring girls, and whose willful defiance andnatural charisma made him an icon for all the youngBlack men in the campus’ social circle.

In this circle, contemporary jazz musicians held aplace of reverence far beyond that of mere entertainers;the 1967 death of saxophonist John Coltrane rockedthe psyche of Richmond and his pals when theylearned about it over the car radio while “cruising”Santa Barbara (now Martin Luther King Boulevard).

By the time he received his induction letter, thenative Louisianan had come to believe that he and hiskin were bona fide colonial subjects who were beingactively persecuted. In this case, they were being mal-treated by the very forces that wanted them to deployand subjugate Asiatic peoples, who were more likeBlacks than the former slave masters hell-bent onputting them in uniform to fight an unjust war.

“I knew the state would first sic their forces on myfamily. I, therefore, did not approach any familymembers. Most of my family felt I was right, but their

thinking then was, ‘you can’t beat City Hall.’”This mind-set led him on a bus jaunt to Detroit, a

hitch into Canada hosted by a sympathetic Blackfamily, and arrival in Toronto where he stayed for 11months.

Yorkville, the Toronto district where Richmondlanded, at that time was a bohemian mecca where hecould renew his interests in broadcasting, journalism,and politics. Quakers, the local hippies, and a Jewishfamily aided his settling in. But his failure to pass theimmigration test required to qualify for citizenshipgot him deported to Detroit in 1969.

Detroit, in turn, had always been a placeRichmond had admired for its musical pedigree andthe progressive nature of its radical politics. In shortorder, he joined the League of Revolutionary BlackWorkers, which sought to address the anger mani-fested by the 1967 riots in that city (ironically startedwith a police raid on a party welcoming the return oftwo Black Vietnam veterans), and came under theinfluence of “General” Gordon Baker Jr., the well-known labor organizer and the first American torefuse induction to fight in Vietnam. “Let’s say Ilearned a lot in Detroit,” he says.

Curiously, Richmond never experienced persecu-tion for either his draft evasion or his radical politics,he reckons, because they “had bigger fish to fry.”

In short order, the League fell apart, and hereturned to Canada where he gained permanent resi-dency in 1975. He worked as a computer operatorand continues his musical interests in the recordingindustry (in 1983, he formed the Toronto chapter ofthe Black Music Association with Kenny Gamble ofPhiladelphia International Records fame). Beginningin 1975 with his first publication in “Contrast,” anAfro-Canadian newsweekly, he has gone on to writefor various publications, and worked for the UnitedNations during a cultural boycott of South Africa.

*New Jersey native Wesley Jenkins was more pre-

occupied with chasing women and partying than pol-itics during his initial stab at college at TennesseeState. His father, who’d noticed the stream of bodybags that had started to filter in from Southeast Asia,however, met his alternative for military service withstrict opposition. His parents’ own involvement withleftist politics was revealed to their son only afterJenkin’s radical activities attracted the attention of J.Edgar Hoover and the FBI.

Parental advice led him to Los Angeles, where histrue radicalization began. An antiwar rally nearCentury City opened his eyes to police brutality in anurban area.

“I saw the LAPD mow down women and childrenand hitting everyone with billy clubs in sight, withoutany provocation at all. This terrorist action led to myunderstanding of the role the police played in pro-tecting the interests of the state, and the ruling elitewhich controlled it.”

A pivotal point of this experience was the fact thatthe people beaten were White; a factor that continuedto haunted the budding militant.

A 1967 speech by Ron Everett (aka MaulanaKarenga) led to what he called “a spiritual-type con-version.”

“He spoke on the Seven Criteria for Culture,”Jenkins remembers, “and I felt this was a comprehen-sive approach to resolving Black issues and concerns.”

This led to an embrace of US, the Black nationalistorganization headed by Karenga (creator of the Africancultural celebration Kwanzaa), and entry into theSimba Wachanga, the group’s paramilitary arm for self-defense.

At this point in his life, Jenkins determined that he

■ Some are unhappy that the whole line is notunderground

BY STANLEY O. WILLIFORDOW EDITOR

Last Friday, in a quickly assembled celebration atLeimert Park, activists, politicians and communitystakeholders exulted over a decision by theMetropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) boardto fund the Leimert Park Village Station on theCrenshaw/LAX light rail line. The decision had beenmade on Thursday, the day before.

In the eyes of many, the years-long battle for thestation had been won when the MTA agreed to com-mit an additional $80 million to fund the under-ground station. The Los Angeles City Council hadalready decided to spring for $40 million for designand construction of the station. With $120 millionnow committed to the project, there was no hin-drance to moving forward with the station.

The lack of a commitment from the MTA boardbeforehand had been a point of contention betweenthe community and the MTA board, but on Friday itwas hailed as a major victory for the community.

“There’s good news in the village today,” pro-claimed Second District County Supervisor MarkRidley-Thomas, one of the board members, whothen paraphrased an African proverb that says ittakes a village to raise a child. “It takes a village to araise a station at Leimert Park. We did it together.”

“This is a celebration of you. This is a celebrationof a community that is vibrant, that has always been abig part of this town from the very beginning,”Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa extolled the gathering.“Need I remind you that 26 of the 44 settlers thatfounded this town came from Africa.”

However, Villaraigosa initially held back his fourvotes on the MTA board.

“All I want to do is give some thank-yous,” saidCity Council President Herb Wesson. “The mostimportant group that made this possible—that’s you,”Wesson said. He went on to acknowledge a groupfrom Westchester that supported the Leimert Parkstation; Damien Goodmon, executive director of theCrenshaw Subway Coalition; City CouncilmemberBernard C. Parks; Councilwoman Jan Perry and, ofcourse, Ridley-Thomas.

Councilwoman Jan Perry told the gathering thatall the hard work had finally paid off, but “now we

can’t relax. This is just the beginning,” she noted. “Wedid it together.”

And there were written kudos fromCongresswoman Karen Bass, state Senator CurrenPrice and Los Angeles County Supervisor and MTABoard Chairman Michael D. Antonovich.

“We’re excited about it,” said Mae Shaw, owner ofA Kut Above Barber and Beauty Shop at 3631Crenshaw Blvd. “It never bothered me that the line

would be coming down Crenshaw. The thing wewanted was a stop at Leimert Park. I’m glad it’s com-ing because it’s (the Crenshaw line) connecting withthe Expo Line (which intersects right beside the mallwhere her business is). I’m thinking it’s going to bebringing more business into this area.”

But not everyone is satisfied—for varying reasons.“By no stretch of the imagination are we satisfied,”

said the Subway Coalition’s Damien Goodmon on

Friday. “We’re grateful. We’re taking this moment tocelebrate a tremendous victory, but . . . . we [have to]get back to work. The speed with which this occurredindicates what we’ve been saying all along. It’s just amatter of political will. The money is there. It’s beenthere all along. By having the community remainfocused and by demanding that the politicians com-ply with the will of the people we got it done.”

But Goodmon made it clear that the Coalitionwould continue to fight for an additional 11 blocks ofthe line to go underground to join the station—from43rd Place to 54th Street. “We’ve got to get thoseother 11 blocks. “This is not an end. It’s a criticalmoment. We celebrate this weekend, but we wake upon Tuesday and continue the struggle.”

On the other hand, real estate broker WesleySmith Jr. of Smith-Moore Estates at 5349 CrenshawBlvd., says his personal preference was that the linebe underground or elevated all the way—one or theother—and no part at street level. His fear, like thoseof many others, is that at street level it will ruin busi-ness along the boulevard.

He claims “constructive fraud was perpetuated bythe MTA and many of its puppets” by having the linepartly underground.

“Nobody in our immediate community of ParkMesa Heights is going to benefit at all,” said Smith.

Ted Thomas, president of the NeighborhoodCouncil of Park Mesa Heights, was happy about theLeimert station but agreed with Smith. “It needs to gounderground all the way up Crenshaw, all the way toAviation. They’re going to kill business all the way

■ Gov. McDonnell announces move for thosewith nonviolent felony convictions

OW STAFF

RICHMOND, Va.—Virginia Governor BobMcDonnell has announced that he will automaticallygrant, on an individualized basis, voting rights topeople with nonviolent felony offenses upon comple-tion of all the terms of their sentence.

This is a great step forVirginia and we look forward to working with theCommonwealth and our state conference on expand-ing the vote. Anyone who has made a mistake, donetheir time and paid their debt to society should be

able to join their neighbors at the voting booth.”“This year our elected officials are bringing the

issue of felony disenfranchisement to the forefrontand Gov. McDonnell has taken the lead,” Rev.Nathaniel Young, president of the NAACP VirginiaState Conference. “Today’s changes are a testament tothe years of hard work the NAACP and other leadingadvocacy groups have put into ridding the state of acentury-old policy that has disenfranchised too manyof our citizens. This is a step in the right direction forVirginia.”

"Restoring the votes of citizens who made a mis-take and paid their debt to society is the right thingto do,” stated Jotaka Eaddy, senior director for VotingRights at the NAACP. “This is a major step in theright direction for Virginia.

■ 17-year-old Watts youth avoids the pitfallsand beats the odds

BY JULIANA NORWOODASSISTANT MANAGING EDITOR

It could be assumed that a young, AfricanAmerican, homeless boy from Watts, being raisedwithout his father, and on-the-run from an abusivestepfather, wouldn’t have the brightest future on thehorizon. Immediately all of the dismal statistics ofyoung men in similar situations come to mind—a lifeof crime, life in prison, no life at all.

But 17-year-old Michael Martin, in spite of unfa-vorable circumstances, has beat those odds, and withthe support of his mother, his mentor, and his unwa-vering dedication, will begin studies at GeorgetownUniversity this fall.

Experience is not what happens to a man; it is whata man does with what happens to him.

—Aldous Huxley

As a result of being homeless at 14 years old,Martin says his eyes were truly opened.

“I go to Verbum Dei High School in Watts wherethere is a large homeless community, and I used tobelieve that it was only a result of drug use, but afterbecoming homeless I understood that you never

know someone’s circumstance, and that people areindividuals,” said Martin.

In the beginning, Martin says he didn’t talk abouthis situation because it hurt him too much. But soonafter, he saw a need to educate his peers on the perilsof homelessness by creating Homeless AwarenessWeek at his school.

Adopted from a similar program at LoyolaMarymount University, students were invited tobecome part of a demonstration where they lived likethe homeless for a week. They slept outdoors in card-board boxes, showered in the school teacher’s lockerrooms, they were only able to eat leftovers from thelounge, and still had to be responsible for gettingthemselves to class each morning.

“I really just wanted to open others’ eyes to what itis really like, and that anyone can end up in that posi-tion,” said Martin. “The first night, it was so cold thatmany of the students opted out, and that is part ofthe point. They had the choice to go home and get intheir beds and under their blankets. Some peopledon’t have that choice.”

As part of the week’s events, the students watcheddocumentaries, listened to speakers and held forumsfor reflection on their experiences, which Martin saysalways ended with opened minds.

In fact, the success of Homeless Awareness Weekled to Martin being awarded the Bill CogginsCommunity Leadership Award by the Kaiser

Permanente Watts Counseling & Learning Center.“It meant a lot for me to receive the award

because it meant that what I was doing mattered andthat it was being recognized. I am very thankful tothe Watts Learning Center,” said Martin.

The young leader’s dedication didn’t go unnoticedwhen it came to his to his academic pursuits, becauseMartin was named valedictorian for his graduatingclass.

“Honestly, the best part of it was how proud itmade my mom,” he said. “It warmed my heart tomake her proud because I see how hard she works.She raised me, and my older brother, and it makesme smile to see her smile. She is the most supportive

mother in the world.”Another individual to make an indelible impact

on Martin’s success was his friend and mentor DavidPrice, a Verbum Dei alumnus, who he says was thiscool, popular, talkative guy, who still maintainedrespect for his teachers, parents, and got amazinggrades. Martin was inspired to be just like Price whois now a senior a Georgetown.

“I told him when I was a freshman, ‘four yearsfrom now, I’ll be at Georgetown’, and I think maybehe thought I was joking.”

Throughout his high school years Martin’s interestin different schools did arise. He was offered a fullride to Loyola Marymount University and consideredgoing, but, after a visit to Georgetown last year, andPrice’s positive influence, his interest in the schoolwas renewed, even though he did not receive a fullride. Through additional scholarships and awards,Martin has been able to cover his education atGeorgetown where he will study to become a bio-medical engineer.

“My heart was always with Georgetown and theschool was in line with the Jesuit ideals that I gotfrom Verbum Dei. I value that focus on educating thewhole person where it’s more than just intellectual.It’s social justice, it’s community service…. I believeto be complete you have to help others.”

Martin says to other young men in his situation,to never let your negative experiences weigh youdown, and instead grow. He believes you will bemore happy than you were yesterday, if you alwaysfocus on the positive possibilities of tomorrow.

Homelessness drove Michael Martin tosuccess—and Georgetown University

was not joining the mass movement to Indochina, andbegan to examine his options. As he was by far not theonly one with this mind-set, an informal network hadevolved to aid in avoiding the draft by leaving thecountry, a sort of modern-day “underground railroad”similar to the one that helped escaped slaves maketheir way to Canada in the pre-Civil War era. ForJenkins, this last resort was one he had never utilized.

US had its own counseling program for conscien-tious objectors, but his actual arrival at the inductioncenter prompted him to take other, drastic measures.He relates this episode here:

“At first I told them I had flat feet, and was theonly child of my parents, and there was no one else tocarry our family name. They just moved me downthe line with other recruits. Thus, while donning myMalcolm X sweatshirt, dark shades and bald head, Ibegan to go into a spontaneous tirade, stating that Ididn’t leave anything in Vietnam, and that I was notgoing to Vietnam to shoot and kill people who lookmore like me than the people sending me. I didn’thave any enemies in Vietnam. All of my enemieswere in Vermont and Virginia. Ho Chi Minh is myhero, and I am against unjust wars. I conscientiouslyobject to this war on the grounds of self-determina-tion and creativity. Give me a gun to fight my ene-mies in Virginia, who are hanging Negroes.”

The prospect of a menacing, 6-foot-tall, 200-pounds-plus Black man sealed the deal, and got thewould-be draftee what he wanted. In the span of oneyear, his selective service status morphed from “2-S”(student deferment), to “1-A” (eligible for military serv-ice), and finally to “1-Y” (a permanent deferment).

Jenkins, now officially Mwalimu Kabaila, channeledhis social concerns into the political arena by moving

east to link up with celebrated writer and activistImamu Amiri Baraka (ne’ LeRoi Jones) to form thecoalition that propelled into public office two BlackCouncilmen, and the eventual election of KennethAllen Gibson as mayor of Newark, N.J., in 1970.

All of this drew the scrutiny of the FBI, and this,in turn. cast light on the activism of his parents,who’d been involved with the iconic Renaissance manPaul Robeson some 20 years before, a fact they’dnever shared with their only son. A contemporary actof consciousness uncovered a hidden family history.

A post-millennium recap…All three of the resisters continue their participation

in the social and political discourse. Ayuko Babu trav-erses the globe in his role as executive director of thePan African Film Festival (see his page athttps://www.facebook.com/ayuko.babu?fref=ts). Thecommitment to diversify the cinematic landscape isonly one of this activist’s continuing pursuits. NormanRichmond is committed to endeavors related toactivism, journalism, and music, and is about toembark on a foray into the exciting world of self-pub-lishing (see his page at https://www.facebook.com/nor-man.o.richmond). Mwalimu Wesley Kabaila remains afrequent contributor to various blogs, and is an activecommentator about events locally and around theAfrican Diaspora (see his page at https://www.face-book.com/Simbamaat?fref=ts). When we last spoke, hewas celebrating the graduation of his daughter,Mashariki Kabaila, from law school.

The individuals included in this narrative by nomeans represent a cross section of dissident voices ofthis era. They, more or less, emerged unscathed fromthe epoch, and have gone on lead productive lives.Others of their generation, subjected to governmentpersecution, or just the stigma of bearing the label of“deserter,” wound up with emotional and psychologi-cal scars arguably as damaging as the physical onessuffered by their brethren, who actually set foot onthis subtropical enclave, which was not even in thevocabulary of most Americans 75 years ago.

ONT in San Bernardino County has since 2008witnessed a steady decline in passenger volume,with Southwest Airlines operating a slight majorityof flights with 54 percent of passengers, as of 2011.VNY remains one of the world’s busiest generalaviation airports and ranks 25th in the world interms of takeoffs and landings. In Palmdale, LAWAowns the dormant terminal there, with the UnitedStates Air Force owning the airport outright.

LAWA, a branch of the city of Los Angeles, isgoverned by a seven-member board of airportcommissioners appointed by the mayor andapproved by the City Council. The three primaryLAWA facilities employ about 2,500 persons,including its own police department of more than1,100 officers. LAX is patrolled jointly with the LosAngeles Police Department.

Revenues for LAWA are collected from aircraftlanding fees in addition to leases and concessionfees from airport tenants. Expenditures includerunway and building maintenance fees, capitalimprovements and administrative expenses. LAXin 2012 featured 680 daily flights to 96 domesticcities and 930 weekly nonstop flights to 59 cities inmore than 30 countries. It ranks 14th in the worldand fifth in the U.S. in air cargo tonnage processed.Last year, LAX served about 63.7 million passen-gers and processed more than 1.9 million tons ofair cargo valued about nearly $89.6 billion. A 2011economic impact study found that LAX added $2.5billion to local and state revenues.

The big news over the past four years has beenthe construction of the new Tom BradleyInternational Terminal at a projected cost of $1.13billion. The new terminal, expected to open laterthis year, will feature more than 1 million squarefeet of space for ticket counters, security check-points, passenger lounges and expanded customsand immigration facilities. A central or “GreatHall” will offer near panoramic views of the airportgrounds and offer restaurants and retail shopping.Nine new gates will be built to accommodate theindustry’s biggest planes such as the Airbus A380and Boeing’s new 787 Dreamliner.

The new terminal is the first major airport ren-ovation since the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics whenthe first Tom Bradley Terminal opened. New taxi-ways and runways have been built, while the over-all construction plan has reportedly created about4,000 jobs.

LAWA was recognized in 2012 by the U.S.Green Building Council with its Silver LEED-EB(Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design-Existing Building), the first for a renovation projectat a U.S. airport.

This year, Delta Airlines has partnered with thecity of Los Angeles and LAWA to remodelTerminal 5 at a projected cost of $229 million.Completion is expected in 2015. Airport officialsexpect more than 20 million passengers will travelthrough LAX this summer, due partly from morestable fuel prices over the past year; airline merg-ers/acquisitions, route consolidations, more flightsoperating at full capacity, and increased interest inLos Angeles as a destination point within thePacific Rim.

■ Will address mandatory minimum sentencing

BY OW STAFF

Rep. Bobby Scott (D-Va.), the leading Democraton the Congressional Subcommittee on Crime,Terrorism, Homeland Security, and Investigations,will be the featured guest at the Criminal JusticeForum: Undo Mandatory Minimums scheduled forJune 8 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Bethel A.M.E.Church, 7900 S. Western Ave., Los Angeles.

Scott has led efforts to pass comprehensive juve-nile justice reform, and is the sponsor of the YouthPROMISE Act, which would provide resources tolocal governments for strategies to prevent juvenilecrime.

The Youth PROMISE Act is a breakthrough pieceof legislation that will implement and fund evidence-based practices related to juvenile justice and criminalgang activity. It will work to interrupt the cradle-to-prison pipeline that is far too common today by sup-porting proven prevention and intervention strategies.

The act will not just encourage, but require localleadership and oversight of these programs throughcommunity-based committees.

All credible research shows that evidenced-basedprevention programs for at-risk youth will greatlyreduce crime and save much more than they cost,And, most importantly, these programs save lives.

The Youth PROMISE Act will:• Fund, implement and evaluate an array of evi-

dence-based, locally controlled youth and gang vio-lence prevention and intervention practices.

• Hold communities accountable by linking fund-ing to measurable success and requiring that at least85 percent of funding be spent directly on programs.

• Create a PROMISE advisory panel of state repre-sentatives to aid in assessing community needs andresources, developing and enforcing program evalua-tion standards and overseeing implementation.

• Engage a wide range of community stakeholdersto serve on local PROMISE coordinating councils,which will develop and implement custom PROMISEPlans for their communities. The councils willinclude: community and faith-based groups; schools,parents and youth; courts and law enforcement;health providers and social services entities; nonprof-it organizations and other stakeholders.

• Build on local strengths by partnering with col-leges and universities as regional research partners,and establishes a National Research Center forProven Juvenile Justice Practices.

The legislation is designed to underwrite theactivities through a series of grants.

The PROMISE Act is currently making its waythrough congressional committees. On the Houseside, the legislation has been referred to theEducation/Workforce Committee; on the Senate side,Louisiana’s Mary Landrieu had attached the act to thegun legislation debated and killed in the Senaterecently. Now she is in the process of gathering co-sponsors to possibly introduce the proposal as stand-alone legislation.

The Los Angeles forum, sponsored by Rep. KarenBass, D.-Los Angeles, will address some of the short-comings of mandatory minimum sentencing.

According to Bass, many studies have shownmandatory minimum penalties have not improvedpublic safety and have actually exacerbated existingracial disparities within the criminal justice system.

African Americans are disproportionately impact-ed by mandatory minimum drug laws, with higherpercentages of Blacks sentenced to prison despite thefact that nationwide rates of substance dependenceand levels of drug dealing are virtually identicalbetween African American and White populations.

Those interested in attending the forum areencouraged to pre-register by going online tohttp://bass.house.gov/event/mandatory-minimums orcalling (323) 965-1422.

■ Federal contractingpromotes inequality

BY JULIANNE MALVEAUXTRICE EDNEY COLUMNIST

On May 21, I had theopportunity to testify before aCongressional ProgressiveCaucus meeting on the fact that federal dollars driveinequality by paying contractors who pay too manyof their workers very little.

The hearing was driven by a study from AmyTraub and her colleagues at Demos, a New York-based think tank, that issued a report exposing themany ways that federal contracting often adds to theburden of the low income, especially those who earnless than $12 an hour, or less than $25,000 a year.

If these workers have even one child, they are liv-ing at or below the poverty line. As summer looms,we know that children who are in summer programswill be better prepared when they return to school inthe fall. Yet, those with income limitations will find itdifficult to pay fees that range from $50 to $125 aweek for summer enrichment programs. This cycle ofdisadvantage means that low wages yield more limit-ed opportunities for students who, but for theirparental situation, might be exposed to the kind ofopportunities that would make them more competi-tive for college admissions. Their parents’ limited

wages create a cycle of disadvantage for children.The Obama Administration has supported a

“Race to the Top” in education, yet job creation sug-gests that we are running a “Race to the Bottom” interms of employment creation. We are underutilizingtalent and expertise when we sideline so manyAmericans. Those over 50 who have experienceddownsizing have moved into lower-paying retail jobs.

New college graduates have been pushed back intotheir parents’ homes, and into low-wage jobs becausethere is little else available. Too many take unpaidinternships to make them more competitive for futurejobs, working at night or on weekends in the retailmarket, because these are their scant possibilities.

Some economists suggest that we are in an eco-nomic expansion, not a recession, and the 2.5 percentGDP growth last quarter might support that. Still,there has been little trickle down from the top to thebottom. People take what is offered in salary becausethey have few choices. The federal government canhelp or hurt these workers depending on how theychoose to protect them with minimum wage legisla-tion, with regulation on federal contractors, withrequirements to make healthcare and other socialprotections available.

Instead, according to Demos we have millions ofworkers who work full time, but are paid at lowwages, thanks to federal contracting policy. If govern-ment takes the lowest bid to provide services, workerswill likely earn the lowest wage. If our governmentspecified that a living wage and benefits are part ofthe contract, we would reduce inequality. Today, toomany contracting executives earn six- or seven-figuresalaries, while workers earn poverty-level wages.

I am especially concerned about home healthcareworkers, and others in the hospital services industry,because these are predominately Black and Brownwomen, taking care of our sick, infirm and elders.How can we expect these workers to offer the high-est-quality care, when we are not offering them thehighest-quality wages? These are women who bringchips of ice to the dying, who hold a hand and say aprayer to someone who needs comfort. They rub the

Counting the Cost

■ The EPA adds to the listof Washington scandals

BY HARRY C. ALFORDOW CONTRIBUTOR

These are very wild timeshere in Washington, D.C. Wehave four big scandals going onthat could threaten the entire Obama Administration.The biggest appears to be the IRS scandal. Next, is theBenghazi cover-up. The spying on the AssociatedPress and Fox News by the Department of Justice is adirect attack on the 1st Amendment. Lately, there hasbeen a report that John Brennan, while he was at theWhite House (now director of the CIA), ordered intel-ligence sources to dig up “dirt” on any news reporterwho says anything unflattering about PresidentObama. It appears to be an administration drunk onpower and going wild—damn the Constitution.

Now comes the Environmental Protection Agency.When an agency makes a rule change it is supposedto first announce the proposed rule change in theFederal Register. They must allow at least 60 days for

the public to make comments, for or against, thechange. A rule change is an updated interpretation ofa present law. If the comments are overwhelminglyagainst the change, Congress and the agency mustconsider retreating or altering the change. The currentadministration at the EPA has gone buck wild on rulechanges without going through the proper process.Why and how are they doing this?

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce assembled a taskforce to find out what exactly was going on with thismadness. What they uncovered was a conspiracy toavoid transparency obligations when performing rulechanges. The EPA and a pack of extreme environ-mental organizations developed a “scam.” One of theorganizations would file a lawsuit against the EPAdemanding rule changes in current laws. Then theEPA would quickly settle the suit without a legal bat-tle. They would comply with all the demands.

Upon request, the court would enter the settle-ment as a consent decree and make it law. They start-ed doing this in 2009 and have repeated the “scam”more than 100 times. That is more than 100 lawsuitsthe EPA has voluntarily lost. This practice has beengiven the name “sue and settle.” It has cost U.S. tax-payers billions of dollars. What is worse is that theEPA also volunteers to pay the legal fees and courtcosts of the suing environmental group. That’s yourmoney. There was one lawsuit that was filed at 9 a.m.and settled by 11 a.m. the very same day!

The Chamber has published a report (www.sue-andsettle.com ) on the above entitled “Sue andSettle—Regulating Behind Closed Doors.” Theydefine it: “The practice of agencies entering into vol-untary agreements with private parties to issue spe-cific rulemaking requirements also severely under-cuts agency compliance with the AdministrativeProcedure Act. The Administrative Procedure Act isdesigned to promote transparency and public partici-pation in the rulemaking process. Because the sub-stance of a sue and settle agreement has been fullynegotiated between the agency and the advocacygroup before the public has any opportunity to see it… the outcome of the rulemaking is set.

“Sue and settle allows EPA to avoid the normalprotections built into the rulemaking process, such asreview by OMB (Office of Management and Budget),reviews under several executive orders, and reviewsby the public and the regulated community … Withno public input, EPA binds itself to the demands of aprivate entity with special interests that may beadverse to the public interest, especially in the areasof project development and job creation. Sue and set-tle activities deny the public its most basic of allrights in the regulatory process: the right to weigh inon a proposed regulatory decision before agencyaction occurs.” This is tyranny!

The environmental groups that led the way in thisprocess are Sierra Club, WildEarth Guardians,

Natural Resources Defense Council and theEnvironmental Defense Fund. These “lawsuits” havehalted business expansion, investment, research andmany jobs. They, along with the EPA, have bludg-eoned many corporations and workers by way of sueand settle. The biggest case involves the ChesapeakeBay Clean Water Act Rules, which will cost corpora-tions and the states of Delaware, Maryland andVirginia and the federal government up to $18 billionin compliance demands. Next is the Utility MACTRule, which will cost up to $9.6 billion and also willforce up to 21 coal-fired utility plants to close andraise electricity rates on millions of consumers andindustries.

Congress is not pleased. The Bill, H.R. 1493, isworking its way through the House ofRepresentatives. Hopefully, it will pass and stop themadness. How can a government that is supposed tobe purely democratic act in such an abusive way?There is an atmosphere of tyranny when you put thispractice in with the other four scandals. How manymore scandals will pop up under this atmosphere of“Damn the Constitution”?

■ All the continent moves toachieve a Pan African education

BY DAVID L. HORNE, PH.D.OW CONTRIBUTOR

Colonial education in Africawas fundamentally aimed atteaching Africans thatEuropeans were superior in everything, and that thepurpose of African life was to follow whateverEuropeans said and go wherever they led. Africanswere to stay divided and quarreling among them-selves, and the only unity they were to achieve was intheir agreement to allow Europeans to do whateverthey wanted in Africa and to Africans. Colonial edu-cation was aimed at teaching Africans to staydependent on White outsiders.

Neo-colonial education, similarly, has been aimedat using African educators to teach African inferiorityand European superiority.

Somehow, something went wrong with that para-digm—the rest of the world evolving, perhaps—andAfrican political independence occurred in spite ofcolonial education. Currently, there are 55 independ-ent African nations, with only Ethiopia havingescaped colonial denomination.

On May 25, 2013, All Africa Day, in Ethiopia atthe African Union headquarters, and in Pretoria,South Africa, at an African Institute of South Africa(AISA) academic conference, after months of prepa-ration, the gathering of AU leadership called theAssembly (heads of state), and Diaspora scholars,reassessed how far along the road to redemption andrenaissance Africa has come in the last 50 years or so.The Organization of African Unity (OAU) was bornin 1963 to advocate, promote and support Africanliberation and nation-building. In 2001, the AfricanUnion (AU) succeeded the OAU. So, this year, 2013,there was a 50-year commemoration in African com-

munities globally on the successes of the pathway for-ward.

As a part of that commemoration, the AU andother gatherings of Africans, recommitted themselvesto achieving 21st-century Pan African education.This is more than mere anti-colonial education.Instead, Pan African education is a common set ofcurricula measures designed to teach Africans tothink of themselves as Africans first and foremost,and as Fulani, or Hausa, or Zulu, or Kikuyu, only sec-ondarily.

Pan African education is to teach Africans thatthey must be united ( a Union of African States), thatthey must forge and learn a single African languagethat all Africans will speak, and that they are strongerand more formidable when they are united in collab-oration than they are separated, divided and disjoint-ed. Twenty-first-century Pan African education isabout teaching all Africans the worth and positivevalue of being African in this world—and that beingBlack and African is neither a curse nor a shame.

When China became a sustained world power,Chinese wherever they were and are living in theworld, felt proud of being Chinese. Similarly, Japan’seconomic success has given the Japanese, whether inLos Angeles, Tokyo, New York, or wherever, addeddignity and sheer pride in being Japanese. Twenty-first-century Pan African education advocates thesame for Africa and Africans, wherever they may bescattered.

Establishing a united Africa as a viable picture ofsuccess, accomplishment and forward thinking andforward movement will surely uplift African peopleglobally, no matter what language they speak.

So, one of the herculean tasks of the present andnear future is to establish Pan African educationalstrategies wherever African people live, including theUnited States, Central America, the Caribbean,Europe, etc. The re-dedication ceremonies on May 25of this year reminded us all of how much we need toget done and how quickly we need to get to it.Positive 21st-century Pan African education will beone of the medicines to heal the African American

is at-grade or below-grade doesn’t matter so much aswhether or not the work closes off 54th Street.

“Well, I was hoping that it went underground, butif it goes on top I hope they don’t close off 54th Street,because that’s the main thoroughfare for our business.There’s lots of traffic up and down that street.

According to Jose Ubaldo, MTA communicationsmanager, parts of the line will be underground, partsat street level and parts (in Inglewood) aerial, orabove ground. The undergrounding, as presentlyconceived, will apparently end at the Leimert ParkVillage Station. The entrance to the Leimert Park sta-tion will be at 43rd Place and will extend to VernonAvenue.

■ Students demand voice in school changes

BY CYNTHIA E. GRIFFINOW MANAGING EDITOR

More than 50 students, parents, teachers andcommunity members turned out for a forum on thefuture of Crenshaw High, and the goal was to ensurethat the concerns and voices of young people areheard and taken into consideration as the schoolundergoes transformation.

The Los Angeles Unified School District(LAUSD) Board of Education voted in mid-June totransform the Crenshaw-area campus as part of aneffort to improve the academic performance of stu-dents.

The controversial process has so far includeddividing the school into three magnet programs; andforcing staff to reapply for their jobs.

In the process, some at the school say a specialeducation department that had actually brought aca-demic scores up has been decimated—eight of thenine teachers were not hired back, and a preponder-ance of older and African American instructors werenot rehired.

Additionally, what some teachers called a promis-ing program that had garnered kudos from the stateschool accreditation commission as well as a FordFoundation grant—Extended Learning CulturalModel—may not be continued.

According to the district, this program is unique

to Crenshaw and is not funded by LAUSD. It’s con-tinuation will be determined by the principal and thenew teaching staff.

George Bartleson, director of intensive supportand intervention with the LAUSD, said that morethan 50 percent of the teachers who opted to gothrough the rehire process were retained.

At the forum, the potential loss of the Extended

Learning Cultural Model program was one subjectstudents focused on.

They also spent considerable time discussing whatthey wanted from a transformed Crenshaw—resources, people who listen, as well as a disciplinepolicy that did not seem to push them out of school.

According to the Community Rights Campaign, acoalition of organizations that work with the stu-dents, in a survey of 343 Crenshaw students, 45 per-cent had either been ticketed or arrested. The largemajority of those cited got tickets in the “other” cate-gory. Representatives of the campaign say most of thestudents do not even know what “other” means.

One speaker, an African American male, talkedabout his on-compus arrest. He said bullyingprompted him to bring a knife to school for protec-tion. He was arrested for the offense, which he knewwas wrong.

But what disturbed him most about the incidentwas that no one ever asked him why he brought theknife to school. He said no one ever talked to himabout what was happening.

Another student, a young Latina, said she wassuspended from school for “giving attitude” to a viceprincipal. However, she said her parents were notnotified about the suspension nor were her teachers.So she continued to attend, because she did not wantto miss class.

She, too, yearned for someone to talk with her

about the situation.According to the Community Rights Campaign,

these two students are part of some startling statisticsat Crenshaw as it relates to discipline:

• 24 percent of students are suspended andexpelled.

• 23 percent of students experience a police inter-action.

• 20 percent of students experience a securityguard intervention.

• 18 percent of students talk to a teacher, adminis-trator or dean.

• 10 percent of students are given detention.• 4 percent of students experience intervention by

student council.One of the three demands the students articulated

at the forum was the desire for the full implementa-tion of the School Climate Bill of Rights. This legisla-tion was recently approved by the school board butwill not be implemented until the 2013-14 schoolyear.

The students are also demanding a healthy andholistic school that addresses all the needs of studentsof color by investing in resources.

According to the Community Rights Campaignsurvey, 51 percent of students say there are adequateresources to support their learning and achievementcompared to 49 percent who thought there wereinadequate resources.

Additional research by the campaign found thatthe resources appear to be available, but studentsdon’t know about them.

About 53 percent of the young people said thereare not adequate services to support their emotionalneeds as students (i.e. a school nurse, who apparentlyonly comes to the campus one day a week). Another47 percent believe that such supports are adequate.

Finally, the students want the district to prioritizethe inclusion of their voices in the transformationprocess.

The student survey demonstrates the perceptionof how far away LAUSD has been so far in thisendeavor, because only 4 percent strongly agree thatCrenshaw students were involved in the decision-making process of transformation. Another 10 per-cent strongly agree that their parent/guardian hadbeen contacted by the district or the school adminis-tration about the process. Only 5 percent stronglyagreed that they were asked to be involved in theinterview panels for the principal, teachers and staffre-hiring process.

Bartleson noted that more than 40 interview pan-els have convened so far and each contained a stu-dent, parent and community member.

Within the next few weeks, the students say theywill combine all of their demands into one documentand present it to the school district and the adminis-tration at Crenshaw.

NATIONALESPN’s 13th nationally ranked high school wide receiver andFranklin D. Watkins Award honoree Jordan Cunninghamunveiled a six-point plan for school district collaboration withhigh school football and effective leadership development pro-grams recently. Through the Watkins Award, the NationalAlliance of African American Athletes offers such a program,which this year recognized the four most accomplished lead-ers and nationally ranked athletes. However, these athletes, asWatkins Award Committee chair, Alexander L. Gabbin empha-sized, “are also among the smartest men in the country.”Broward County Superintendent Robert Runcie indicated thathe was “truly inspired by Jordan Cunningham’s initiative” andthat he believes that elements of the plan may significantlysupport the district’s commitment to improving the perform-ance of Broward County Public Schools (BCPS) in general andAfrican American male students in particular.

feet and massage the heads of those who are in pain.What if the low wages they are paid becomes a stres-sor, not allowing them to fully focus on their workfor worries about their own economic survival?

Our economy has been bifurcated between thosewho have good jobs and bad jobs. Good jobs havedecent pay and benefits, while bad jobs have hourlypay and none of the above. Increasingly, the GreatRecession has pushed former good job workers intobad jobs, and bad jobs have become the norm for too

many. We may be creating a permanent underclass byoffering too little to too many, using federal funds tosubsidize this inequality. When full-time workersneed food stamps and federally subsidized healthinsurance; when full-time workers cannot affordapartments, when full-time workers give full effortand remain in poverty, then we have turned theAmerican dream into a nightmare.

We cannot compete in this global economy if wecannot pay people wisely and well. Without regula-tion, the private sector may pay unequal wages, butthere is no reason for the federal government to dothe same thing.

■ Business lobby pushes for more temporaryworkers

BY WILLIAM SPRIGGS THE NORTHSTAR NEWS & ANALYSIS

Over last weekend, young people watched or readabout President Obama speaking at MorehouseCollege and first lady Michelle Obama addressing thegraduates of Bowie State University. Hopefully, theywere inspired by seeing so many young and giftedpeople finishing the course they chose to follow. Well,here is a little known set of facts.

Those colleges are both historically Black col-leges—known as HBCUs—and they graduate a dis-proportionate share of the nation’s Black science,technical, engineering and math majors—the verymajors everyone points to as the skills America willneed to succeed. And, it turns out, HBCUs areimportant because those fields are the backbone ofthe new Black middle class.

More Blacks work in computer-related occupa-tions than are employed as elementary and middle-school teachers or postal workers. And, like thosestudents at Morehouse and Bowie State, Black collegestudents are more likely to choose computer scienceas a major than White students. In part, because ofthe high share of Blacks who major in computer sci-ence and because of the large number of Black col-lege students, there are more baccalaureate degreesawarded to African Americans than to Asian-Americans in computer science.

Now, a great challenge lies ahead. Having found apath to the middle class through education and train-

ing, business interests are pushing hard in Congressto import temporary workers to do computer-basedjobs. This while there are still 20,000-plus fewerBlacks employed as computer programmers and sys-tems analysts since their employment peaked in2008.

But, while those workers continue to search to getback to the high-tech jobs they trained for, we haveseen businesses increase requests for H-1B visas(visas for high-tech workers). And now the SenateJudiciary Committee adopted ludicrous amendments,introduced by Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) in theimmigration bill, that refuse to give America’s work-ers a first shot at these jobs. These amendmentswould even allow businesses to fire American work-ers and replace them with temporary workers.

The AFL-CIO is fighting to restore some reasonhere. We need to protect American workers’ hugeinvestment in college loans to get trained in comput-er and science skills the country needs, while provid-ing a road map to citizenship for all aspiringAmericans.

So, the AFL-CIO is challenging Sen. Hatch andthe business lobby to make sure there are safeguardsto keep a path to the middle class open.

Spriggs is chief economist to the AFL-CIO and is a professorin, and former chair of the Department of Economics at HowardUniversity. He is also former assistant secretary for the Office ofPolicy at the United States Department of Labor.

COMMENTARY

William Spriggs

■ Television journalistsacknowledge the best andbrightest

BY GAIL CHOICEOW CONTRIBUTOR

Although the official awardsseason is several months downthe line, some of the best and brightest are beinghonored by television journalists.

The list of nominees for the 3rd Annual Critics’Choice Television Awards was announced recently bythe Broadcast Television Journalists Association.

Thumbs up to Don Cheadle (“House of Lies”),Regina King (“Southland”), Angela Bassett (“Betty &Coretta”), Alfre Woodard (“Steel Magnolias”), andRuPaul (RuPaul’s “Drag Race”), who are all nomineesthis year for work in their respective categories.

Cable TV wins again—no surprise—with HBOand FX leading all nominations with 21 and 19,respectively.

The winners will be revealed at the Monday, June10, event in Beverly Hills, hosted by “Parks andRecreation” star Retta, aka Marietta Sirleaf (and yes,she is related to Liberia’s first woman president EllenJohnson-Sirleaf).

Danny Glover stars in a Norman Rockwell paint-ing. Well, not exactly, but the Hallmark Channelpresents Norman Rockwell’s “Shuffleton’sBarbershop.”

The Hallmark Movie Channel Original WorldPremiere is Saturday, June 1, (9 p.m. ET/PT, 8C) andalso stars Austin Stowell, Kayla Ewell and DashPledger-Levine.

Inspired by one of 20th-century painter NormanRockwell’s iconic images depicting 1950s Americana,“Norman Rockwell’s Shuffleton’s Barbershop” beginsat the center of a small town barbershop wherefriends gather, gossip flows and age-old memories arekept. When a famous musician returns to his home-town after abandoning it many years ago, he is eagerto reconnect with the barber who took him under hiswing as a young boy. But upon his arrival, he mustlearn to make amends with his own estranged dad,while paying tribute to the man who taught him theimportance and value of family.

The film serves as a celebration of NormanRockwell’s 50-year relationship with Hallmark Cards.

Talk about an oldie but goodie, Philip MichaelThomas is back in the news.

Just days before his 64th birthday celebration,Thomas returns, and better than ever, with a renewedcommitment to making music and a new duet withJazz/Soul/Gospel artist Kathy Yolanda Rice. Theirsingle, “Flesh of My Flesh,” recently released on Rice’sPaintbrush Records label, is a testimony to the talentof both artists, and is available at major online retail-ers Amazon.com, iTunes, and CD Baby.

“Flesh of My Flesh,” from a musical that Thomaswrote with the Archbishop Abuna Nathaniel Salem ofthe Ethiopian Coptic Church of North and SouthAmerica, is a Gospel love song that depicts the rela-

tionship and devotion between Mary, the earthlymother of Jesus Christ, and Joseph, his earthly father.

While Thomas is most widely recognized for hisroles as Ricardo Tubbs in “Miami Vice” and Stix inthe movie “Sparkle” (Irene Cara), he is also a talentedcomposer, multi-instrumentalist, and vocalist. Thestar of television, film, and Broadway, says “Musichas always been and will always be my first love.”

In theaters Friday, “After Earth,” starring father-and-son duo Will Smith and Jaden Smith and direct-ed and co-written by M. Night Shyamalan hits thesilver screen Friday.

“After Earth” is a sci-fi tale about a crash landing

that leaves teenager Kitai Raige (Jaden Smith) and hislegendary father Cypher (Will Smith) stranded onEarth, 1,000 years after cataclysmic events forcedhumanity’s escape. With Cypher critically injured,Kitai must embark on a perilous journey to signal forhelp, facing uncharted terrain, evolved animal speciesthat now rule the planet, and an unstoppable aliencreature that escaped during the crash. Father andson must learn to work together and trust one anoth-er if they want any chance of returning home.
