Honoring HerStory

3/5/2018

0 Comments

 
During Women’s History Month, let’s pay homage to the woman who gave birth to humankind, a Black African from Tanzania. The diversity of other races all evolved from Black Africans.  In 1959 two paleontologists dug up the skull of a human like being dating back 1.75 million years in Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania. In the same location a small woman was discovered in 1974. Lucy, was a small woman dating back 3 ½ million years ago. This young African woman, known as Lucy, may be the mother of all humankind.

With the release of the blockbuster movie, Black Panther, there’s a renewed excitement about black culture, and in particular roles of powerful women.  However, these roles are nothing new for Black women.  Throughout history we have taken the burdens of our community on our shoulders. Women in ancient Africa held many powerful positions.  They ran governments and leveraged political power, served as powerful spiritual leaders, won strategic battles and trained as warriors, and were the economic powerhouses of the nation by setting the rules of trade, organizing and managing the market system.

Let’s celebrate the greatness and tell herstory of such legends as Ana de Sousa Nzinga, born around 1583 in the kingdom of Ndongo, a land ruled by leaders called Ngolas. During this time the Portuguese were advancing towards Ndongo looking to kidnap her countrymen. After the betrayal of a negotiated peace treaty, she led her warriors (many women) for thirty years fighting for her homeland. She returned blood for blood and slaughter for slaughter, all to save her people from the slave trade. She died at the age of 84 in exile after losing the war, but she is still remembered as the woman who lost many battles but never lost the war. Ana de Sousa Nzinga lived a queen and died a queen.

Or, one of several female Pharaohs, Hatshepsut, age 18 years old ruled Egypt from 1479-1457 B.C. and leading her nation into greater prosperity; Amina of Zaria, who would become a great ruler and warrior of Hausa (now Nigeria) around 1576, and reigning for thirty four years building a prosperous empire; The Amazon queen, Tata Ajache of Dahomey who would rise from a servant to become a queen and lead the elite female fighting force feared around the world. These are only a few examples.

Learning about our ancestors is essential for honoring the past and understanding who we are as African American women, and restores them to their dignified place in the annals of world history.  While we watch Black Panther for the third or fourth time, let us celebrate that finally the rest of the world can see Black Americans as we see ourselves… S/HEROES.

Black Betty Boop

2/2/2018

0 Comments

 
During the month of February we celebrate Black History Month, and I’m reminded of the passion my mother (Betty of course) had for Betty Boop.  Betty Boop coffee cups, Betty Boop car mats, Betty Boop towels and pictures.  But, one ceramic plate stood out.  She was the only Black Betty Boop, and the only item I kept from her collection, after she passed away.  What I didn’t know was the relevance of that plate to Black culture until recently.

It’s shouldn’t be a surprise given the hijacking of products and intellectual property of Black people historically in the United States, but did you know that the iconic cartoon character Betty Boop was inspired by a Black jazz singer in Harlem?  The inspiration has been traced back to Esther Jones who performed regularly in the Cotton Club during the 1920s, and was known as “Baby Esther” for her famous signature vocals “Boop Oop A Doop” and iconic sexy, jazzy style.

After watching one of her performances, white actress Helen Kane stole Baby Esther’s trademark vocal style of using “boops” and other childlike scat sounds in her own songs. Finding fame early on, Kane often included this “baby style” into her music along with Esther’s jazzy, sexy style.

When Betty Boop was introduced in 1930 by cartoonist Max Fleischer, Kane promptly sued him and Paramount Publix Corporation stating they were using her image and style. The caricature of the jazz age flapper was the first and most famous sex symbol in animation. Kane lost her case when video evidence showed Baby Esther performing in a nightclub, stating she did not have exclusive rights to the “booping” style or image, and that the style, in fact, pre-dated her.

Like so many in the African American community, Baby Esther’s “baby style” did little to bring her mainstream fame and she died in relative obscurity.  However, Baby Esther lives on in the iconic character Betty Boop and my mom’s ceramic plate now sitting in my curio cabinet.

Kicking Off a Year of Empowerment

1/11/2018

0 Comments

 
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

On January 21, 2018 women across the country will convene in Las Vegas to celebrate the first anniversary of the Women’s March and kick off the Power to the Polls Tour, a national initiative mobilizing women to vote and empowering women to run for elected office.  In 2017, over 1.2 million women marched on Washington D.C., and over 13,000 women marched on Nevada looking past partisan politics, focused on issues impacting their futures and their children’s futures.  National and local organizers anticipate another huge turnout.  National co-chairs Linda Sarsour and Tamika Mallory advise that due to Nevada’s swing state status, electoral demographics, and advocacy already underway on issues important to women, and the strong activist community on the ground, Nevada was the perfect choice to kick off their national tour.

Clark County Black Caucus and other local organizations serving on the host committee encourage any individuals or organizations interested in being a partner or volunteering for the event to please reach out to ClarkCountyBlackCaucus@gmail.com and for event information visit www.CCBlackCaucus.com.  It’s important that African American women are well represented at this event and ask the community to help get the word out and plan to participate.

Additionally, in commemoration of the Dr. Martin L. King Jr. holiday, the Clark County Black Caucus in partnership with NAACP Las Vegas and support from Las Vegas City Councilman Ricki Barlow and the Fair Punishment Project, the community is invited to the first in a series of community meetings discussing the extreme impact of court fines and fees, penalties, and cash bails in Southern Nevada.
 
A large percentage of law abiding residents spend time behind bars due to traffic violations that turn to warrant status as a result of the inability to pay the high cost of fines and penalties.  This event is an official King Week Event, January 16, 2018 from 6-8p.m. at Findlay Middle School
333 W Tropical Pkwy, North Las Vegas.  Visit www.CCBlackCaucus.com for more information about the program.

Aspiring to Achieve

12/2/2017

On October 23rd, four hundred students from 21 CCSD high schools participated in the African American Student Summit hosted by Clark County Black Caucus in partnership with Clark County School District, where students enjoyed a fast paced program focusing on college and career readiness. 

Students were surprised by twin tap dancers, Sean and John Scott from the critically acclaimed strip show “Absinthe,” opening up the program, and later hip hop violinist, Brandon Summers performances and storytelling.  Following the popular real time interactive audience/panel discussion, and career & college fair sponsored by CCSD CTE Department, students learned about apprenticeship and job opportunities, and college resources.  Career/college mapping will help guide students through high school graduation depending upon their personal goals.
 
Parents should be aware of the Nevada College Kickstarter Program, a college savings account provided to every student as a result of legislation passed in 2013 (SB475).  The Program automatically enrolls all eligible Nevada kindergarten students attending public schools with a $50 College Kick Start Program account with information provided by the State Department of Education or the child’s school or district.  Kick Start accounts are forfeited if a family fails to claim their child’s Kick Start account before he or she finishes third grade.  For more information visit http://collegekickstart.nv.gov/
 
Anyone interested in Office of Workforce Innovation or Nevada’s Apprenticeship Project should visit http://gov.nv.gov/OWINN/ and http://www.nvapprenticeship.org/students/#opportunities. “As a registered apprentice, you'll be paid to learn your job. Your employer pays for your on-the-job and technical classroom training, so you don't have to worry about finding the time or money to go back to school.”

Nevada legislators serving on legislative education committees were recognized as a CCBC Education Equity Hero, along with Superintendent Pat Skorkowsky for his years of service.  Dr. Zac Robbins, Principal at Cheyenne High School was honored as the Educator of the Year.  BSU club presidents helped present the awards.

A Legacy of Violence

11/4/2017

0 Comments

 
In our own backyard, residents and visitors were horrified by the events of October 1st, 2017.  While over 22,000 attendees were enjoying a beautiful night amongst the glimmering lights that make a perfect backdrop, concert goers were attacked without provocation, leaving 59 dead and over 500 injured. 

As I stayed glued to my television, tweeting information in hopes families impacted out of state could reconnect with loved ones, I thought of my own children and how vulnerable we are in today’s climate of violence.  It impacts us all, regardless of where we live, racial or ethnic background, or financial and political influence.  To address this issue the Clark County Black Caucus recently hosted the Legacy of Violence in the African American Community Summit in partnership with The Action Company and Like It Is Radio with support from Legal Aid of Southern Nevada, NCEDSV, Gritz Café, NAACP, and Delta Sigma Theta Sorority. 

The African American community has experienced a long history of violence and as our country continues to heal, let’s not be guilty of invalidating the horrific tragedies of mass shootings and killings in the U.S. simply because they were people of color.  When the mass media referred to October 1st as the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history, it struck a nerve with many Black people who asked on social media why their experiences remain invisible or irrelevant to American media and society.

For those not familiar here are a few examples: In 1917 a race riot in East St. Louis left 200-700 Black residents murdered, after given the option to burn in their homes or be shot while trying to escape the flames. This included those that were lynched.  In the Philips County, Arkansas Massacre of 1919, its estimated 237 to 800 people were lynched, beaten, and killed. And in one of the largest incidents it’s estimated that 300 Black victims lost their lives in the Tulsa, Oklahoma Massacre of 1921.  The Equal Justice Initiative observes, “Racial terror lynching was a tool used to enforce Jim Crow laws and racial segregation.”

My thoughts and prayers are with the victims, families, and friends affected by October 1st and other brutal attacks of violence around the world. We can each make a difference in how we choose to treat each other.

SB178 Provides $36 Million to Specifically Serve Students in the Lowest 25% Proficiency Rate

10/1/2017

0 Comments

 
Part 2 of 2 in a Series

The New Nevada Education Funding Plan ($34,178,400.00 to Clark County School District) provides funding allocations to over 28,000 students attending 102 CCSD schools to specifically serve the needs of identified students who rank in the lowest 25% proficiency rates in Nevada.   Nevada Department of Education (NDE) shall provide an additional per pupil amount of $1,200 to serve identified students. You can find a complete list of allocated funds and school designations (SB178, Victory, or ZOOM) at www.CCBlackCaucus.com.   For example, this year the following schools will receive additional funds based on number of students identified and are on free and reduced lunch or ELL:
 
Cheyenne HS** - $433,000 = 433 Students                           Canyon Springs HS** - 723,600.00 = 723 Students
Legacy HS*** - $454,000 = 382 Students                                Mojave HS** - $566,400.00 = 472 Students
Johnston MS*** - $ 499,200.00 = 416 Students                  One Hundred Academy ES* - $ 150,000.00 = 125 Students
 
The good news is within Clark County School District every one star and two star schools are now served by either Victory, Zoom, or SB 178 funding. In the three star school range 53 schools were funded which collectively covers approximately 58% of all eligible students in three star schools.  While many Black students are doing well and either meet or exceed academic standards, a disproportionate large percentage do not meet grade level proficiencies.   In fact, Black students have the highest percentage of students by race and ethnicity in that category.  Unfortunately, a crisis not often addressed in Nevada media or policy tables.
 
All SB178 funding must be held in a separate account and not co-mingled with other funds.  It’s important (especially during CCSD budget crisis) that parents/guardians, students, and school administrators use SB178 dollars only as specified in the law.  NDE explains that schools risk future funding if they don’t meet the benchmarks they’ve put in place or direct funds elsewhere than specifically serving the needs of students identified with the allocation of funds.  Funds can be used as follows:
 
  • Extended learning opportunities
  • Academic interventions
  • Early childhood education
  • Any other strategy designed by the public school and approved by the Department
  • Parent and family engagement programs or services
  • School climate and culture programs
  • Social, psychological, or health care services to pupils and their families
  • Academic Interventions
  • Professional Development
  • Reimbursement for coursework required to obtain endorsement relating to English language acquisition and development
  • Retention Incentives

SB178 Promises $36 Million to Address Growing Proficiency Gap

9/1/2017

0 Comments

 
Part 1 of a 2 part series
In my previous articles I’ve spoken about ESSA (Every Child Succeeds Act) passed in December 2015.  Federal law requires Nevada’s Education Plan to include a priority for schools or sub-groups of students least proficient.  Beginning with this school year, Nevada Department of Education (NDE) requires each school district in Nevada to comply through the ESSA Plan approved by US Department of Education.
 
While many Black students meet or exceed academic standards, a large percentage do not meet grade level proficiencies.  In my ten years as a volunteer education advocate this is the first time, in my opinion, that the stars have aligned to provide much needed resources to Black students whose educational needs have gone unmet.  Although the number of native speaking English language learners who rank in the lowest 25% proficiency are approximately the same, the focus in public policy and the media remains on English as a second language learners. 
 
The New Nevada Education Funding Plan ($36 million) is appropriated each fiscal year.  The NDE is charged with determining the number of pupils in each public school who are English learners or are eligible for a free or reduced lunch who score in the bottom 25th percentile in proficiency, who are not enrolled in a Zoom or Victory school, and who do not have an individualized education plan (IEP).  NDE shall provide an additional per pupil amount of $1,200 to serve identified students at identified schools. You can find the list of allocated funds for each participating schools at www.CCBlackCaucus.com.
 
Before using the funds the public school must consult with staff, parents, legal guardians, and school organization team (if one exists) on which permissible uses of funds the school will dedicate the funding towards.  Together they are to create a plan for the use of the funds and the goals to be achieved.  The NDE shall also prescribe annual measurable objectives, and track performance targets of pupils, to ensure a high return on investment for eligible students.  Should schools misappropriate SB178 funding, NDOE can suspend future funding. 
 
This is a HUGE opportunity to significantly reduce the growing proficiency gap currently in Nevada schools regardless of race, zip code or language.  Unlike Title 1 funding where schools typically use funds to address literacy/math needs, resources usually serve all students on campus and is not "targeted" to qualifying students in poverty.  SB178 mandates specific use to serve specific students. 

Parents, students, educators, and community stakeholders should check with their qualifying school and participate in developing the school plan and ensure your child is not left out.

High School Students Experience a Day in the Life of a Legislator

6/1/2017

0 Comments

 
High school students from eight Clark County School District (CCSD) schools, traveled with Black Student Union Advisers for the African American Legislative Day on March 30th organized by Clark County Black Caucus (CCBC). 

Thirty two students, chaperones, and CCBC mentors experienced a day in the life of a legislator, learning firsthand how legislation is passed while sitting on the floors of both Assembly and Senate houses. Schools participating included Advanced Technologies Academy, Canyon Springs, Centennial, Chaparral, Cheyenne, Desert Pines, Legacy, and Valley.

The overnight trip provided students with the opportunity to better understand the legislative process in Nevada, address policy and decision makers about concerns important to them, and visit University Nevada Reno campus before heading back to Las Vegas.  CCBC representatives provided mentoring and guidance to help walk students through the process, visiting legislators in their office and participating in committee meetings.  During a private meeting, Assemblyman Jason Frierson was presented with a special award recognizing his achievement as the first African American to serve as Speaker of the Assembly. Frierson shared his personal story taking questions from the enthusiastic crowd.
 
The following day students met with Nevada Department of Education for a roundtable discussion with Superintendent Steve Canavero and his leadership team.  Students were given the floor to share their concerns, suggestions, challenges and success. Governor Sandoval joined the discussion and greeted each participant personally, then presented his prized Governor’s Coin before departing from a nearly two hour meeting. Students left feeling their comments and suggestions were valued. 
 
The fast paced trip concluded with lunch and a campus tour at UNR, before boarding the bus home. The trip was sponsored by Clark County Black Caucus Education Committee, in partnership with CCSD's Equity and Diversity Department, and community partners 100 Black Men of Las Vegas, United Way of Las Vegas, Operation32371.org, and Nevada Department of Education.

What Should Multicultural Academic Standards Look Like For Nevada Students?

5/22/2017

0 Comments

 
We may likely agree that history taught for hundreds of years in our classrooms have conveniently omitted the contributions of people of color.  Mayor Mitch Landrieu of New Orleans said it best, “So for those self-appointed defenders of history… they are eerily silent on what amounts to this historical malfeasance, a lie by omission.” We no longer can be afraid of our truth, marked both by tragedy and triumph, and may recall that in 2015 the Nevada Legislature and Governor Sandoval after a decade recognized the importance of multicultural education by passing AB234 which mandates:
 
“The standards for social studies must include multicultural education, including, without limitation, information relating to contributions made by men and women from various racial and ethnic backgrounds. The Council shall consult with members of the community who represent the racial and ethnic diversity of this State in developing such standards.”
 
Prior to being appointed by Senator Aaron Ford to the Nevada Council to Establish Academic Standards, I was honored to serve on the multicultural advisory committee working on these new standards.  A final draft will be presented to the Council for final approval on June 20, 2017 at 1:00 p.m. (NDOE 9890 Maryland Pkwy., Las Vegas) and I strongly encourage those interested in multicultural education to participate in this meeting and add your comments.  The public can find the draft at http://www.doe.nv.gov/Standards_Instructional_Support/Nevada_Academic_Standards/SocialStudies/ or www.CCBlackCaucus.com.  When reviewing the draft it’s important to note that NDOE will issue an Implementation Guide, not currently available, that will offer curriculum suggestions for school districts. 
 
It’s long overdue that we integrate social studies taught in classrooms occupied by diverse students of color.  This is about our future; an opportunity  to also tell our stories.  History!

79th Legislative Session, An Update For Black Nevadans

4/24/2017

0 Comments

 
While the 79th Nevada Legislative Session just passed the halfway mark, at the time of this publication, Legislators will be wrapping it up in approximately thirty days on June 5, 2017.  Bills not passed out of committee by April 14th died, unless a waiver was extended.  Additionally, bills must pass out of the first house by April 25th, the second committee by May 19th, and second house by May 26th or die.  With the approaching deadlines, time is quickly running out to contact your representative on issues important to you.  To see complete bill details, sponsors of bills, current status of bills and to find contact information, visit Nevada’s legislative website NELIS https://www.leg.state.nv.us/App/NELIS/REL/79th2017
 
With the election of the first African American Assembly Speaker joining African American Senate Majority Leader in controlling both houses, Black Nevadans have a tremendous interest in this legislative session and hopes for advancements of a community often marginalized in policy decisions.  This session is gearing up to deliver on much needed social justice concerns.  Each session, Clark County Black Caucus adopts a Legislative Black Agenda.  Go to www.CCBlackCaucus.com to see additional bills you should be aware of and the legislative agenda.  I’ve attempted to highlight a few bills addressing issues Black Nevadans have expressed interest in over the years below.
 
Call your State Representative and ask them to support the following bills:

SB373 – Requires appointment of a Minority Affairs Analyst Manager (passed 1st committee)
AB303 – Ban private prisons (passed 1st committee)
AB384 – Ban the box (passed 1st committee)
SB516 – Apprenticeship programs & career and technical training in CCSD (passed 1st committee) Note: Lack of CTA programs in high schools with high Black student populations must be addressed in CCSD if they are to have the same opportunities as peers.
AB181 – Restoration of civil rights (passed 1st committee)
AB180 – Juvenile Justice Bill of Rights (passed Assembly with constitutional majority and headed to the Senate)
SB306 – Pilot training program for offenders and access to telecommunication and education (passed 1st committee)
SB126 – Small business loan program (passed 1st committee)
AB186 – Pre-K program in every school (passed 1st committee) Note: Unfunded Mandate. Funding is not included in Governor’s budget, and therefore legislature will have to determine how they will pay for it.
AB70 – Redevelopment funds (passed by Assembly with a constitutional majority and moves to Senate)
AB196 – Certified cultural competency for educators (passed Assembly floor vote and moves to Senate)
AB275 – Requires the establishment of a protocol for student success (passed 1st committee)
AB316 – Medication services to offenders prior to release (passed 1st committee)
SB368 – Search and seizure property provisions (waiver granted)
AB259 – Vacating certain judgements (pass 1st committee)
AB144 - Creates Nevada Advisory Commission on Mentoring (passed 1st committee)
SB132 – Assists credit deficient students with additional time to graduate (waiver granted)
AB482 – Career and Technical Education Programs Grant (passed Assembly with constitutional majority)
 
Ask your State Representative to amend the following bills:

SB178 – NV Education Funding Formula (waiver granted) Note: Asking for an additional funding designation to include “lowest proficient students” and provide additional resources they need. Currently, proposed amendments include long term English Second Language Learners and Gifted & Talented students.  Nevada cannot ignore the needs of our least proficient students and take seriously the proficiency gap.
AB447 - Victory Schools (passed 1st committee) Note: CCBC is asking for additional funding for students in poverty comparable to ZOOM Schools funding currently proposed at $80Million (Victory) vs $142Million (ZOOM)
AB409 – Removing requirement students read by grade 3 (passed 1st committee) Note: CCBC does not support extending the mandate to fifth grade.
SB441 – Workforce development grants (Passed 1st committee) Note: CCBC recommends adding language “Compliance with U.S. Department of Labor C.F.R. Sec 30.29 and 30.30”
SB357 – Apprenticeship requirements on public works (passed 1st committee) Note: CCBC recommends adding language “Compliance with U.S. Department of Labor C.F.R. Sec 30.29 and 30.30”
