State Sen. Royce West,State Rep. Toni Rose, DallasDeputy Mayor Pro Tem ErikWilson, Dallas ISD SchoolBoard Trustee Lew Blackburn,and Paul Quinn CollegePresident Michael Sorrell host-ed the First Annual AfricanAmerican Elected OfficialsThanksgiving Brunch at PaulQuinn College's Zale Library.

More than 70 current andformer African Americanelected officials were presentat this historic event. FormerState Representative andPastor Emeritus of St. LukeCommunity United Methodist

Church - Dallas, Rev. Dr. ZanWesley Holmes, Jr., delivered apowerful luncheon addressthat beckoned them to cometogether, stay together, andmove forward together. Heoffered a number of examplesthat reiterated that "We eitherlearn how to live together orperish separately as fools.""Looking across the roomthere was a collection of influ-ence, abilities and knowledgethat we must take advantageof to form a common agendathat will address the needs ofAfrican Americans acrossDallas County and the region,"

said Sen. West. "We may notalways have this opportunity,so the time to act is now. Wecan rally around issues such asobtaining quality education forour children, access to health-care and jobs that pay a livablewage. Improvements in theseareas will benefit not onlyAfrican Americans but willcontribute to the quality of lifein all of our respective com-munities." Senator Westended the luncheon by callingfor officials to develop a setobjectives and goals and toestablish benchmarks that canbe measured moving forward.

As students filed into the Adelle Turner Elementary Schoolcafeteria, they ran over to the empty tables topped with collegepennants from schools across the country.

Excited third-, fourth- and fifth-graders rapidly discussedwhere they planned to go college-Texas A&M, University ofTexas, and the University of Chicago were among the top choic-es.

"Oh, I want to be a Longhorn," said one fourth-grade boy."Well, I'm going to Prairie View A&M University," another

student emphatically replied.The students then sat down to draw and color their own pen-

nants provided by the African American Success Initiative (AASI),a program aimed at closing the achievement gap and increasingaccess to opportunities for African American students by expos-ing them to various types of colleges and universities.

Through the simple coloring activity offered during theirlunches, students self-engaged in conversations about theirfutures, their goals, their dreams, and what they one day hopedto become. A key focus of the AASI in the Dallas IndependentSchool District is to encourage a future for African American stu-dents in the district.

"The program focuses on educating and inspiring all studentsin the David W. Carter and Wilmer-Hutchins feeder patterns tofurther their education in and outside the classroom," said pro-gram coordinator Jamila Thomas, a graduate of Lincoln HighSchool, Florida A&M University and University of Chicago."Equally important, the focus is to encourage high academicachievement and provide a glimpse of the possibilities afterachieving a higher education degree."

In addition to initiating conversations about college andcareer readiness, AASI focuses on academic achievement, socialand emotional development, cultural diversity, community part-nerships, parent and family engagement and student advocacyfor African American students.

"AASI wants to inspire all students to look at the worldthrough a lens of unlimited possibilities," Thomas said.

By Dr. J. Ester DavisAt last, the mighty, mighty Trinity River Project is unfolding

right before our eyes in the Dallas Downtown area and thewhole world is watching. It is indeed a beautiful sight. . . a bitcumbersome, but nevertheless it is a resounding image ofmassive progress in a city where we all love and call home.

Who are these construction companies? Are any blackowned businesses involved? What role are they playing inthis one of the largest public works concerts in the nation?As I travel, I notice that every airport in the nation is underconstruction and/or enhancement. High ranging cranestower over our major cities with noticeable grandeur andgrace. A lot of going on everywhere. And please, do not miss, the happening on the"bullet high speed train", boasting a 90 minute train ride between Houston andDallas. But, are any of these constructions sites owned by African Americans?

Student protesters atOccidental College occupieda sit-in at the campus'Arthur G. CoonsAdministrative Center fromNovember 16 to the 20th, inresponse to the racial bias atthe small college campus.

"We decided to do the sit-in because we have seenthat in the past seven yearsthe president of our univer-sity has never been able tofulfill the lists of demandsthat students have put forth,especially in concern toBlack students," saidAbilasha Bhola, a studentorganizer for the OXY Unitedfor Black Liberation.

Bhola is talking about a listof demands minority stu-dents have requested tomake change for studentsthat come from marginal-ized backgrounds. Bholadescribed the campus safetyguards as having been "mili-tarized" to look like policeofficers with bulletproofvest and have been known

to question students of coloron campus after dark.

"Several students havecomplained about being tar-geted by campus safety withquestions of where they aregoing or coming from whenthey are Black or Latino,"she said. Students said theyhave found the student cli-mate to be "very shaky"sometimes towards minori-ties.

Last year, a fraternity partynamed "End of the World-Malaysian Air- ISIS-Ebola"theme was shut down afterstudents brought the eventto administrators' attention."That was racially motivatedand it caused a lot of tensionon campus with students.There are many incidentsthat happen on campus thatgo unaddressed," saidBhola.

Occidental, which is locat-ed in Eagle Rock, has a stu-dent body that is made upmostly of White students. Ofthe 2,117 undergraduatestudents enrolled in the fallof 2014, 50.6 percent of stu-dents the students wereWhite, 14.8 percent Asian,12.6 percent Latino and 4.5

percent Black.This action comes weeks

after student proteststhroughout the nation,including University ofMissouri, where the presi-dent and chancellorresigned, and YaleUniversity. In Claremont,McKenna College, the deanof students stepped downafter hunger strikes by twostudents over an email to aLatina student stating shewould work to serve thosewho "don't fit our CMCmold."

Members of the BlackLives Matter Los Angelesand student organizers fromUniversity of SouthernCalifornia, California StateUniversity at Los Angeles,California State University atLong Beach and ProvidenceChristian College joinedOccidental students.

"Everything about ourprotest was very communal-being that students from dif-ferent races could cometogether to fight one cause,"said Bhola. Over 400 stu-dents occupied the adminis-tration building, eating,sleeping and holding class in

the office-standing theirground.

"Just like the other schoolswe are fighting for the injus-tices that are present andcan be changed," said Bhola.

Students delivered thedemands to administratorslast week asking for"increase budget of the CDOoffice by 50 percent,$60,000 allocated to DEB tofund programming and pro-vide resources for black andother marginalized students,immediate removal of LAPDfrom the campus," andcountless other requests.President Jonathan Veitchdid not step down inrequests of the students,but he stated to the L.A.Times that he would tend tosome of the requests madeby the group.

"We plan to keep on fight-ing and hold our administra-tors accountable to theirpromises of holding 12 outof our 14 demands," saidBhola. "If need be nextsemester we will hold ahunger strike."

Occidental College Students Protest to End RacialInequality on Campus

By Amen OyibokeSpecial to the NNPA News

Wire from the Los AngelesSentinel

The build-up began rightafter Halloween, when thenewspapers got thicker; theadvertising inserts longer,and e-mails touting shoppingbargains coming more fre-quently. Buy! Buy! Buy! Theexhortations are almost hyp-notic. Buy, buy more, andbuy even more. Sellers havebecome far more aggressivein trying to separate con-sumers from their dollarsbecause they depend onfourth quarter sales to makea profit.

The term "Black Friday"does not refer to Black peo-ple, but to the Friday afterThanksgiving when retailerscan forecast whether theywill end the year "in theblack." Consumer confidenceis higher than it has been inthe past several years, andunemployment is lower.Spending is up. Have con-sumers shed the cautionaryapproach they had to holidayspending last year?

Whether you plan to spendor not, don't fall for the holi-day hype. The big box storeswill advertise unbelievablebargains, a 58" wide screenTV for $129, for example.

What they won't tell you isthat they have five of them.Exactly five. They are hopingthat you will get to the storeearly, stand in line, and whenyou learn there are no morecheap TV bargains, you'll buysomething else. Meanwhile,you and the other fools (yes,fools) who stood in line allday or night will perform forthe cameras that record youstampeding through thestore, trampling each other,in search of "deals."

Why not, instead, considerthe meaning of holidays, holydays? Why not use these lastfew weeks of the year to dosome of the good we neg-lected to do earlier in theyear? Why not show love,regard, respect throughwords and deeds, and notthrough stuff? Why feed thegreat consumer machine thatexploits consumers. Wal-Mart, the largest of the massretailers pays its workers lit-tle to nothing, adjusts theirhours to avoid offering healthcare, and fires employeeswhen they protest. They arethe easiest to call out, butthey aren't the only retailerthat touts great prices butoffers workers low pay andbenefits.

If there is shopping thatshould be done (and don't

get me wrong - I like to shopas much as the next persondoes) why not spend yourdollars with Black-ownedbusinesses, and also on SmallBusiness Saturday (theSaturday after thanksgiving).Why not gift your friends(especially children andyoung adults) with greatbooks. As you contemplateholiday giving, considerMaggie Anderson's Our BlackYear: One Family's Quest toBuy Black in America'sRacially Divided Economy.

Anderson's book is bothsobering and empowering.Sobering - it was a chore tobuy Black, because Blackfolks don't own things likegas stations. Empowering - itwas important to see howBlack business could bestrengthened with morepatronage. Unfortunately,African Americans spend lessthan ten percent of ourincome with Black business-es. While there are "rea-sons," there are also reasonswe should go out of our wayto support Black business.Supporting Black businessgenerates jobs in our com-munities, which means pro-viding opportunities forsome of the young peoplewho desperately needemployment.

According to a Gallup con-sumer survey, Americansplan to spend $830 on giftsthis year, 15 percent morethan we spent in 2014, andmore than any year since2007. My snarly tone aboutholiday hype isn't likely tochange hearts, minds, orspending habits. Withoutsnarling, then, my suggestionis to think before you spend,and to let your spendingreflect your values. Youappreciate small businesses?Shop with them. You careabout Black entrepreneur-ship? Look for Black busi-nesses. If you can't find abricks and mortar store, shoponline.

And whatever you do,don't go galloping down theaisles of a big box store andget featured on the newschasing that elusive bargain.Holidays, our holy days,ought to be our season to begrateful, not our season tospend mindlessly. Just a wordfrom the Grinch!

Continued from Page 1AAlumNow, The Hub feature that profiles

district alumni, caught up with Mosquedafor an update on what he's been doing.

What are you doing now?I'm a network administrator with the

White House CommunicationsAgency/United States Army where I pro-vide technical communications support forthe President, Vice President, First Ladyand staff.

Briefly list a few of your career and/orpersonal highlights.

Reached staff sergeant in four years(United States Army);

Selected to join the White HouseCommunications Agency, an organizationcomprised of the top staff from eachbranch;

Earned my Security+ certification;Earned my Certified Ethical Hacker certi-

fication; CISSP certification (CertifiedInformation Systems SecurityProfessional). What was your favorite sub-ject or activity/involvement in highschool?

JROTC Drill Team, JROTC Color Guard,chess team, and student council wereamong a few of the organizations I waspart of that I enjoyed. Each one provided adifferent challenge that helped give backto the community and build team work,while also making new friends as the yearswent by. It was a rewarding experiencethat helped shape me into the person I amtoday.

Who was your favorite teacher?Mr. Jerry Cecil was phenomenal! The

guy would always take time from his busyschedule to help you with any problemyou had. He also raised funds to help stu-dents who didn't have the money to buy

things such as flash drives. He alwaysshowed a huge concern when it came toproblems around the school and voiced hisopinions to the faculty and staff to inspirechange. He wasn't just a "teacher," hehonestly cared about his students and oth-ers. His passion was second to none.

What lesson did you learn in high schoolor beyond that has served you wellthrough the years?

I've said this time and time again-under-dogs can win. I truly believe I'm the ulti-mate underdog from back home. I wentfrom hitting rock bottom after high schooland nearly dying to living out my dream.I've been around the world and back andno one has noticed. I joined the Army in2009 and made staff sergeant in four years(which is faster than normal). I'm a net-work administrator working for the WhiteHouse Communications Agency and I'm inthe top of my career field. All of thisstemmed from hard work!

What advice, if any, would you offer tohigh school students today?

Be different and don't care what othersthink. Anyone who is normal is neverremembered! If there is something youwant bad enough, then somehow, some-way you'll find a way to get there. Hardwork truly pays off! You just have to wantit bad enough to get there. Nothing in thislife is ever given that easily. There may bethose who get everything handed to them,but just waiting around expecting oppor-tunity won't realistically happen. Go outthere and get it.

College/University and degree earned:Currently a senior at the University of

Maryland University College earning a B.S.in network security.

Dallas quarterback Tony Romo will miss the rest of the season with a small fracture in thesame collarbone that previously sidelined him for seven games this year.

Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones said on his radio show Friday thatRomo's left collarbone would not require surgery after getting hurt in the third quarter ofThursday's 33-14 loss to Carolina. He didn't need surgery after breaking the collarbone inWeek 2 at Philadelphia, either.

It's the third fracture in Romo's non-throwing shoulder in his nine-year career as theDallas starter. He missed most of 2010 after getting hurt against the New York Giants.

Romo was in his second game back after the Cowboys (3-8) lost seven straight withouthim. The Carolina loss was his first of the season.
