AMERICA MOURNSMAYA ANGELOU
The 108th Annual Session of theNational Baptist Congress will be
held in Dallas, Texas June 8-13, 2014
Maya Angelou, a Renaissance woman and cultural pioneer, died Wednesday morning at her home in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, her son, Guy B. Johnson, said in astatement. The 86-year-old had been a professor of American studies at Wake Forest University since 1982.
"She lived a life as a teacher, activist, artist and human being. She was a warrior for equality, tolerance and peace," Johnson said.Angelou had been set to appear this week at the Major League Baseball Beacon Awards Luncheon, but canceled in recent days citing an unspecified illness.Tall and regal, with a deep, majestic voice, she was unforgettable whether encountered through sight, sound or the printed word. She was an actress, singer and dancer
in the 1950s and 1960s and broke through as an author in 1970 with "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings," which became standard (and occasionally censored) reading andmade Angelou one of the first black women to enjoy mainstream success. "Caged Bird" was the start of a multipart autobiography that continued through the decades andcaptured a life of hopeless obscurity and triumphant, kaleidoscopic fame. The world was watching in 1993 when she read her cautiously hopeful "On the Pulse of the Morning"at President Bill Clinton's first inauguration. Her confident performance openly delighted Clinton and made publishing history by making a poem a best-seller, if not a criticalfavorite. For President George W. Bush, she read another poem, "Amazing Peace," at the 2005 Christmas tree lighting ceremony at the White House. Presidents honored herin return with a National Medal of Arts and the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the country's highest civilian honor. In 2013, she received an honorary National Book Award.She called herself a poet, in love with the "sound of language," ''the music in language," as she explained to The Associated Press in 2013. But she lived so many lives. Shewas a wonder to Toni Morrison, who marveled at Angelou's freedom from inhibition, her willingness to celebrate her own achievements. She was a mentor to Oprah Winfrey,whom she befriended when Winfrey was still a local television reporter, and often appeared on her friend's talk show program. She mastered several languages and pub-lished not just poetry, but advice books, cookbooks and children's stories. She wrote music, plays and screenplays, received an Emmy nomination for her acting in "Roots,"and never lost her passion for dance, the art she considered closest to poetry. Angelou was born Marguerite Johnson in St. Louis and raised in Stamps, Arkansas, and SanFrancisco, moving back and forth between her parents and her grandmother. She was smart and fresh to the point of danger, packed off by her family to California after sass-ing a white store clerk in Arkansas. Other times, she didn't speak at all: At age 7, she was raped by her mother's boyfriend and didn't talk for years. She learned by reading,and listening.
At age 9, she was writing poetry. By 17, she was a single mother. In her early 20s, she was married, and then divorced. But by her mid-20s, she was performing at thePurple Onion in San Francisco, where she shared billing with another future star, Phyllis Diller. She also spent a few days with Billie Holiday, who was kind enough to sing alullaby to Angelou's son,
In the 1960s, Malcolm X had written to Angelou and praised her for her ability to communicate so directly, with her "feet firmly rooted on the ground." In 2002, Angeloucommunicated in an unexpected way when she launched a line of greeting cards with industry giant Hallmark. Angelou admitted she was cool to the idea at first. Then shewent to Loomis, her editor at Random House. In North Carolina, she lived in an 18-room house and taught American Studies at Wake Forest University. She was also a mem-ber of the board of trustees for Bennett College, a private school for black women in Greensboro. Angelou hosted a weekly satellite radio show for XM's "Oprah & Friends"channel. She remained close enough to the Clintons that in 2008 she supported Hillary Rodham Clinton's candidacy over the ultimately successful run of the country's firstblack president, Barack Obama. But a few days before Obama's inauguration, she was clearly overjoyed. She told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette she would be watching iton television "somewhere between crying and praying and being grateful and laughing when I see faces I know." Active on the lecture circuit, she gave commencementspeeches and addressed academic and corporate events across the country. Angelou received dozens of honorary degrees, and several elementary schools were named forher. No funeral or memorial service arrangements have been announced at this time.

The psalmist of this wonderfulpsalm is unknown; however, Psalm71 depicts the continual trust of anaged saint in God despite experi-encing trouble from the wicked.There are many aged saints thatcan readily testify that you cancount on the Lord to deliver intimes of trouble. They can reallytestify that God is faithful and Hewill deliver, for Psalm 46:1 states,"God is our refuge and strength, avery present help in trouble. Andthey can testify that if you wait onHim, that He will deliver, for Psalm40:1-3 says, "I waited patiently forthe Lord; and He inclined unto me,and heard my cry. He brought me
up also out of an horrible pit, outof the miry clay, and set my feetupon a rock, and established mygoings. And he hath put a newsong in my mouth, even praiseunto our God: many shall see it andfear, and shall trust in the Lord."
In verses 1-4, the psalmistbegins this grand psalm as hepleads to God for deliverance fromthe wicked. He first recognizes thatit is God alone that can sustain himas he states in verse 1 "In thee, OLORD, do I put my trust: let menever be put to confusion." Thepsalmist asked God in verse 4 toprotect him from his enemies forhe knew that the Lord was the onlysource of his security; "Deliver me,O my God, out of the hand of thewicked, out of the hand of theunrighteous and cruel man."
Despite the afflictions of thepsalmist, he asserts that the Lordwas his hope; therefore he shallcontinually praise God (vv. 5-8).Verse 5 states, "For thou art myhope, O Lord GOD: thou art my
trust from my youth." The psalmistrealizes that from the earliest partof his existence God has preservedhim.
The psalmist continues to askGod to help him despite the factthat others thought that God hadabandoned him (vv. 9-13). Theenemies thought to take advan-tage of this advanced aged saint,but the psalmist prays intensely inverses 9-10, "Cast me not off in thetime of old age; forsake me notwhen my strength faileth. Formine enemies speak against me;and they that lay wait for my soultake counsel together."
The psalmist also had a resolveto praise the Lord as he had fromhis youth up (vv. 14-18). Thepsalmist really had a resolve to tes-tify of the Lord's awesome savingdeeds! His desire was to witnessto the generation as he prays inverses 17 and 18, "O God, thouhast taught me from my youth: andhitherto have I declared thy won-drous works. 18Now also when I
am old and greyheaded, O God,forsake me not; until I have shewedthy strength unto this generation,and thy power to every one that isto come."
The psalmist was confident ofthe Lord's deliverance and fullrestoration, for no one can com-pare to the Lord in doing greatthings (vv. 19-21). He exclaimswith exuberance in verse 19, "Thyrighteousness also, O God, is veryhigh, who hast done great things:O God, who is like unto thee!"
The psalmist concludes thiswonderful psalm in praise, antici-pating that the Lord will deliverhim from his enemies (vv. 22-24).He makes his praise known in verse22, "I will also praise thee withthe psaltery, even thy truth, Omy God: unto thee will I singwith the harp, O thou Holy Oneof Israel."
May God Bless!

“Injustice anywhere is athreat to justice everywhere.We are caught in aninescapable network of mutual-ity, tied in a single garment ofdestiny. Whatever affects onedirectly, affects all indirectly.” –Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
A real war on women,marked by murder, rape andslavery is raging in too manyparts of the world. In fact andunfortunately, human traffick-ing is now thought to be amongthe fastest-growing illegalenterprises globally.
The latest and mostgrotesque example is the April14 kidnapping of more than200 girls from their Nigerianschool by a terrorist groupknown as Boko Haram. Thegroup violently opposes anyactivity associated withWestern society and for thepast several years has beenwaging a bloody campaign toprevent the education of
Nigeria’s girls. Yet, I have beenasked by several people in thepast few weeks why we shouldcontinue to care about eventshappening so far from our bor-ders. The answer is simple: wecannot ignore the fact that atti-tudes that deny, question orcompromise the value ofwomen anywhere are harmfulto women everywhere – nomatter where they occur.
In many parts of the worldand some cultures, outdated,patriarchal and inhumane ideassuch as forced marriages, sanc-tioned wife beatings and evenfemale genital mutilations con-tinue to keep women sub-servient and from contributingto society and achieving theirfull potential.
Preventing girls from gettingan education is also anotherunacceptable tactic used tocontinually oppress womenaround the world. As First LadyMichelle Obama pointed out inthe White House weeklyaddress in honor of Mother’sDay, “more than 65 million girlsworldwide are not in school.”
In his Sunday New YorkTimes column on May 11,Nicholas Kristof asked, “What’sSo Scary About Smart Girls?”Simply put, nothing threatens
oppressive, male-dominatedsocieties more than educatedgirls who are likely to havefewer children, become pro-ductive workers and boost theireconomies. As Kristof puts it,“The greatest threat to extrem-ism isn’t drones firing missiles,but girls reading books.”
In addition to the issue ofeducation for girls, this latesttragedy in Nigeria also high-lights the deplorable crime ofhuman trafficking – not justaround the world, but also hereat home. The National HumanTrafficking Resource Center(NHTRC) reports that from2008-2012, it received morethan 65,000 calls to its hotlineand received reports of morethan 9,000 unique cases ofhuman trafficking. Of these, 41percent of sex trafficking casesreferenced U.S. citizens as vic-tims, and women were refer-enced as victims in 85 percentof sex trafficking cases.
As distressing as these num-bers are, they still do not repre-sent the entirety of the prob-lem because this data is basedon reported incidents only.According to NHTRC, with anestimated 100,000 children inthe sex trade in the UnitedStates each year, the total num-
ber of human trafficking victimsin the U.S. reaches hundreds ofthousands when estimates ofboth adults and minors and sextrafficking and labor traffickingare combined.
The awful drama unfoldingin Nigeria has touched theheart of the world, and it hasalso raised the consciousness ofan international communityabout the continuing fight forthe rights of girls and women.As the father of two daughters,I cannot imagine the pain thatthe parents of the missing girlsmust be feeling. As a civil rightsleader, it fuels my commitmentto do what is within my powerand influence to ensure that we#BringBackOurGirls every-where.
While there is no scale ormoral equivalence betweenwhat is happening in Nigeriaand the treatment of girls andwomen in America today, wecannot ignore our own respon-sibility to fully educate andempower girls in this country,to champion equal pay, to endviolence against women, and tostop the human trafficking ofhundreds of thousands of chil-dren, girls and women eachyear.

An essential pillar of the healthcare system in our country is themore than three million womenand men who are registered nurs-es. On a daily basis, these selflessindividuals respond to the needs ofhumanity and epitomize the ideal
of service. They perform criticalhealth functions, ranging fromadministering medications tochanging bed pans.
Four years ago, I Introduced leg-islation, the National Nurses Act,establishing the position of aNational Nurse for Public Health.
The position provided a visiblegovernment manager that wouldcollaborate with health care lead-ers, inside and outside of govern-ment, in an effort to address exist-ing health care disparities, andestablish specific goals leading todrastic improvements in thenation's health care system.
As a former professional nurse, I
understand fully the role andimportance of nurses in our socie-ty, particularly in our health caresystem. Under the legislation I pro-posed, the National Nurse forPublic Health would advise thenation's Surgeon General on mat-ters such as health standards, pro-fessional recruitment and careerdevelopment for nurses that areemployed by agencies of the PublicHealth sector and its contractors.
Nurses are invaluable healthcare resources. That is why I rein-troduced the National Nurses Actin the 113th Congress, and intro-duced a Congressional Resolutionrecognizing "National Nurses
Week." Congressional efforts to identify
a period during which the nationrecognized the contributions towellness made by nurses began in1954. Twenty years later, PresidentRichard Nixon issued a proclama-tion recognizing National NursesWeek.
Nurses in this country are pas-sionate about their profession.They believe in the art of healing,and frequently risk their personalhealth to make others whole.Nurses are more than worthy ofour support and our praise. Theyare among the foundational pillarsof American society.
Dear Editor,Warmer temperatures are a wel-
come change after a long, cold win-ter—but as the mercury rises, it’s cru-cial to protect our animal companionsby never leaving them in parked vehi-
cles. Every year, PETA receives dozensof reports of animals suffering anddying in hot, parked cars. Cruelty-to-animals charges are routinely filed insuch cases.
It only takes minutes for a parkedcar to cook an animal alive: On a warm
day, even with the windows cracked,the temperature inside a parked carcan reach more than 160 degrees.Parking in the shade and/or leavingwater in the vehicle won’t help.Symptoms of heatstroke include rest-lessness, excessive thirst, heavy panti-ng, lethargy, lack of appetite and coor-dination, dark tongue, and vomiting.Dogs can succumb to heatstroke in just15 minutes, resulting in brain damageor death.
Please, when it’s even a little warm
outside, never leave any living being ina parked car, even for “just a minute.” Ifyou see a dog left in a car, have theowner paged or call 911 immediately—the dog’s life depends on it. Visitwww.PETA.org to learn more.

This is the 60th anniversary ofthe landmark Brown v. Board ofEducation Supreme Court decisionoutlawing “separate but equal”schools. And like most majoranniversaries, incorrect informa-tion surfaces as purported fact,doing a disservice to the accom-plishment being celebrated as wellas truth itself.
In this instance, some haveasserted that because of re-segre-gation, public schools in the South,where most African Americans live,are more segregated now thanwhen Brown was handed down.That is simply untrue and if youwant to read a comprehensiveaccount of what has truly hap-pened in school desegregationover the past 60 years, there is nobetter source than “Brown at 60:Great Progress, a Long Retreat andan Uncertain Future,” published byThe Civil Rights Project at UCLA.
First, let’s dispense with thenonsense.
“The claims that black studentsin the South are no better off thanthey were before Brown, in termsof segregation, are obviouslywrong,” the report stated. “Theyare ten times as likely to be in
majority-white schools as theywere when the Civil Rights Actpassed.”
The 42-page report is packedwith illuminating facts aboutprogress made in the wake ofBrown and the subsequentretrenchment. But to appreciatethe significance of Brown, it is nec-essary to understand what ourschools looked like before thecourt decision.
“Nine years after Brown, whenPresident John Kennedy called forthe first major civil rights act of the20th century, 99% of blacks in theSouth were still in totally segregat-ed schools,” the report recounted.“Virtually no whites were in histor-ically black schools, nor were blackteachers and administrators inwhite schools. For all practical pur-poses, it was segregation as usualor ‘segregation forever,’ as some ofthe South’s politicians promised. Inthe great majority of the severalthousand southern districts noth-ing had been done.”
Actually, there were two Browndecisions. The first, issued in 1954,outlawed segregated publicschools masquerading as “separatebut equal.” The court ruled that“segregation is inherentlyunequal” and ordered the desegre-gation of schools. With no progressafter a year, the court ordered in1955, in a ruling sometimes calledBrown II, that desegregation had tobe carried out “with all deliberatespeed.”
But racial segregation was delib-erate and speed was missing inaction. In fact, nine years afterBrown, 99 percent of Blacks in theSouth were still in segregated
schools.“President Lyndon Johnson
powered the historic 1964 CivilRights Act through Congress withbipartisan support, and he pro-ceeded to enforce civil rights lawmore forcefully than anAdministration before or since,”the report stated. “After he also ledthe battle for the largest federaleducation aid program in Americanhistory, the Southern schoolschanged. Faced with the dualprospect of losing federal funds ifthey remained segregated, as wellas the threat of a JusticeDepartment lawsuit as a result ofthe Civil Rights Act, almost all thedistricts began to desegregate.Strongly backed by the federalcourts, federal civil rights officialsraised desegregation requirementseach year. In 1968 the SupremeCourt unanimously ruled thatdesegregation in the historicallysegregated states must be compre-hensive and immediate. By 1970Southern schools became thenation’s most integrated.”
Nationwide, the percent ofBlacks attending majority Whiteschools has declined from a high of43.5 percent in 1988 to 23.2 per-cent in 2011, about the same levelit was 1968. This did not happen byaccident.
“Throughout the l980s therewas a strong legal attack on deseg-regation orders, led by the Reaganand Bush administrations’ JusticeDepartments and, in l991, theSupreme Court authorized the ter-mination of desegregation plans inthe Oklahoma City (Dowell) deci-sion. The decline in black studentaccess has been continuous since
l991,” the report observed.The report documents the
strong connection between segre-gated schools and concentratedpoverty.
“In schools that are 81-100%black & Latino, over three-quartersof the students are also enrolled inschools where more than 70% ofthe students live in poverty,” itstated. “In fact, half of students in91-100% black & Latino schools arein schools that also have more than90% low-income students. Thismeans that these students facealmost total isolation not only fromwhite and Asian students but alsofrom middle class peers as well.”
In its recommendations section,the report observes that whileeducation is primarily a stateresponsibility, the federal govern-ment also has an important role toplay. Sadly, the report points out,there has not been a major nation-al study on school desegregation,its costs and solutions since RacialIsolation in Public Schools, a reportrequested in 1967 by PresidentJohnson.
Non-government organizationsalso have a role to play.
The report stated, “Civil rightsorganizations need to develop newstrategies and legal theories to endthe reversal and restart the move-ment toward a successfully inte-grated, truly multiracial society, aswas done by the NAACP andHoward University in the campaignthat led to Brown.”
Aries (March 21-April 19)Aries have a good time explor-ing their neighborhood andmeeting all their neighbors. Tryto find a new hang out, samplea new restaurant or throw ablock party. You never knowwho you will meet. There issomething very likeable aboutyou that attracts all sorts ofinteresting characters. Butdon't just fan the air with idlechit chat. At very least, sharethe local gossip.
TAURUS (APRIL 21 - MAY 21)Money comes your way with-out much effort on your part.Other items of value seem toflow your way as well now.Easy gains and effortless com-fort? At least it will seem thatway. The fact is, Taurus, thatnothing comes that easily with-out some sort of planning orhidden price. The cost revealsitself later once you get use toall the glorious glitter. Ain't thatrich?
GEMINI (MAY 22 - JUNE 21)This week heralds in a time ofrewards for all your previoushard work and planning.Haven't been working much?Haven't planned anythingworthwhile? No matter. Peoplelove you for who you are nomatter how lazy you've been.Enjoy it while you can, Gemini.Too, too soon you will have topay the piper. Until then have'em play the tarantella anddance.
CANCER (JUNE 22 - JULY 23) Feeling a bit closed in andclaustrophobic? Let it all hangout this week as you let go ofany psychological baggage thathas been holding you back.Freedom is liberating and youmay even stumble upon somesecret stash of mementos thatreignite old flames and lostloves from the past. Start a rag-ing fire and see how hot it canburn. But don't get singed.
LEO (JULY 24 - AUGUST 23)Leos needn't feel alone now,nor should they allow them-selves to curl up at home andshut themselves away. This isthe time of year to make your-self very well known. You areoffered a wide choice of enjoy-able social activities. Gatheryour compadres and makemerry. Friends provide thelaughs if you can provide thevenue. No, not at home. Gopaint the town any color!
VIRGO (AUGUST 24 - SEP-TEMBER 23)Instead of toiling in the back-room for pennies, use theweek to break from the gener-al herd and get in front of thepack. Toss a few of your wellhidden but great ideas in frontof the powers-that-be and seewhat can they can become.Virgos deserve more than theyare getting and can get morethan they expect now. At leastthat is what I've been told....LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 24 - OCTO-BER 23)What is it that stirs your inter-
est? Pursue it now. SociableLibras can inflate their circleinto a globe and lob it across allsorts of exotic terrains. If youcan possibly travel, do so. Youcan expect to have an especial-ly memorable adventure. Iftime and money are tight, sat-isfy your wanderlust with a fewlusty wanderers. Oh but let'skeep it anonymous!
SCORPIO (OCTOBER 24 -NOVEMBER 22)The week brings out the beastin you. And it's bout time! Lifegets decidedly more interest-ing and intense. Look yourbest. You have an earthinessand passion that can changethe course of human events...or something like that.Scorpios are not known fortheir animal tendencies butnow you can be tenderized by afew bucking broncos. Yahoo!Ride 'em!
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 23- DECEMBER 22)Partnerships take on a greaterintensity. Sagittarians can andshould turn their attention totheir significant others andhave them figure more promi-nently in their future plans. Forthose who are on the hunt,find ways of making yourselfmore available. Late nights atthe office won't do it. Neitherwill lunches at your desk. Rubelbows every chance you get.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 23 -JANUARY 20)Make good use of your workschedule, Capricorn. You havea great opportunity to accom-plish something of importanceon the job. Well, maybe notsomething earthshaking ormonumental but somethingthat you can point to and callyour own. Okay maybe it'smore like a nicely writtenmemo ... or a clean desk ... orperfect attendance.Remember that every effortcounts!
AQUARIUS (JANUARY 21 -FEBRUARY 19)Aquarians have a rare opportu-nity to kick back and have funnow. You are inspired and feelmore creative. Try somethingor someone new and see howartistic you really are. Don't lettoo much time go by beforeyou begin to plan (and launch)a regatta of ship shape parties.Get all hands on deck. Watchwhere you put those handsbuster!
PISCES (FEBRUARY 20 -MARCH 20)What is it about your home sit-uation that gives everything adifferent and happy hue?Pisces will kick their feet upand relax with a few closefriends or spend their downtime decorating their sur-roundings. For those with a fewpersonal, familial things to getoff their chests, say what needsto be said. You are more sensi-tive to others reactions butdon't get a rash.

This is O’Neil’s secondyear to lead this programand she said that the girlshave been preparing forthe state competition evenbefore they knew they hadmade it.
“We start very early withpreparation even before wereach state level,” O’Neilsaid. “We practiced about6-8 hours a week for abouttwo months. About a week
before State UIL, I have for-mer twirlers and twirlcoaches come by to cri-tique and evaluate.”
O’Neil said that thesetypes of competitions areextremely important.
“It’s important to pro-mote school pride andteam spirit. In addition,such competitions help toimprove self-confidence foreach girl, exposes the teamto see and meet other twirlteams in the state and cre-ates a little friendly com-
petitive spirit,” O’Neil said.“But mainly it lets themknow that with hard workand dedication, they canachieve anything.”

Why do we highly publi-cize a mass killing by amental ill person for daysand then go home andignore it until the nextround of weapons areunleashed on the inno-cent? Are we trulyshocked by these actions?Or just keep hoping it willgo away. . . back into itsecret hiding place?
Unfortunately, I am alltoo familiar with mentalillness. As most of youknow, I wrote about ityears ago in a series:Homeless Son: AMother's Diary. Let meassure you that it was themost painful thing I haveever done, because atone point we did notknow where he was. It
was printed in severalnewspapers and Ireceived a recognitionfrom "The World and I", aglobal magazine. Tomake a long story short,my youngest son, Todd, ismentally ill. He is an adultand was diagnosed with anervous breakdown atage 30, after many, manymis-diagnosis'. Up to thattime, he was brilliant, lov-ing, delightful, twelvehours away from a doublemajor. Ran Davco PestControl, a small business,with his brother. Wife,two small sons, love forsport cars and soccer. Heheld two professional jobsbriefly with Merrill Lynchand TransAmerica beforeall hell broke loose.
At this writing I amagain in an"advocate/mother mode"fighting with the systemin another state and con-gress concerning my sonand this dreaded disease.(Texas ranks number 49thin the nation on mentalillness care). So manypeople ask me aboutTodd and of course hisclassmates, friends, fami-ly keep up with him. Inour case, the mental ill-ness side shows up boldlyin cycles. Todd is
extremely knowledgeablyof his illness and the med-ications surrounding it.Simply put, he gets off hismedications. When he isoff, he is not functioning.When he is on it, he isback to my adorable son.
Mental illness isAmerica is one of thething we do not do well.It is clearly a broken sys-tem. It is vague and non-descript and theAffordable Care Act hasnot found it way. TheAmerican PsychiatricAssociation is a bit morebrutal, but candid. InAmerica, more than 65.1million Americans arementally ill, touchingabout one-in-four. I per-sonally feel that schizo-phrenia and bipolar disor-ders are the 'one-size-fit-all' diagnosis for 99% ofthe cases. And quitefrankly, I do not have thesolution. But a sufficientpart of the problem isignoring it and keeping ita secret. For me it is justa painful passion.
