Charles Oakley Coming To Mt Vernon To Speak On Stopping Gun Violence

The New York Knicks Legend to Speak in Mount Vernon as Part of the Community Conversation Series to Stop Gun Violence

One of the toughest and most loyal players in NBA history, Charles Oakley comes to Mount Vernon, NY, on Wednesday, March 23, 2022, for Community Together, a free series of conversations with industry leaders and change agents committed to Westchester County’s efforts to stop gun violence.

Friendship Worship Center will host the in-person event that will also be live-streamed. The program begins at 6:30 p.m. Oakley will have an intimate conversation with community members and share excerpts from his newly released memoir, “The Last Enforcer,” which tells of his life experiences from on and off the court.  In-person attendees will receive a complimentary copy of Oakley’s book.

Oakley played in the NBA from 1985 to 2004 with the Chicago Bulls, New York Knicks, Toronto Raptors, Washington Wizards, and the Houston Rockets. He ranks as one of the best rebounders in the NBA. The former NY Knicks Power Foward currently ranks 25th all-time in NBA games played with 1,282 games, and 22nd all-time in career rebounds with 12,205 rebounds. Due to his durability, he actually placed in the top ten in total rebounds 6 times and led the league in total rebounds twice (1987 and 1988). In 1994, he became an NBA All-Star and was chosen to the league’s All-Defense 1st team.

After years of clearing boards, Charles Oakley took to buffing cars when he opened Oakley’s Car Wash on 2435 Central Park Ave in Yonkers in 1995.  Three years later, the former NBA player christened another car wash on Neptune Avenue in Brooklyn.

Community Together is a collective effort by United Way of Westchester and Putnam, Boys & Girls Club of Mount Vernon, Mount Vernon Youth Bureau, and Friendship Worship Center to reduce the violence surge in the communities by educating and encouraging youth to make positive choices. The goal is to promote healthy emotional expression and conflict resolution. In February, CNN political correspondent and civil rights attorney Bakari Sellers kicked off the series with “Youth Together with Bakari Sellers: Time for Real Talk.”

Friendship Worship Church is located at 261 E Lincoln Ave, Mount Vernon, NY. Community Together with Charles Oakley is free; however, registration is required online at uwwp.org/oakley.

Mary J Blige Shines At Superbowl LVI Halftime Show

Mary J Blige Shines At Superbowl LVI Halftime Show

The Queen reigned supreme at the first Super Bowl Halftime Show, consisting entirely of Hip Hop Headliners.

The Queen of Hip-Hop Soul, Mary J. Blige, performed alongside Eminem, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, and 50 Cent, who made a surprise appearance, during the Super Bowl LVI Halftime show, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA, which some are already calling one of the greatest Halftime shows. The Yonkers native, who is recognized by Billboard as “the most successful female R&B/Hip-Hop artist of the past 25 years,” performed her 2001 hit song “Family Affair,” which was produced by Dr. Dre, and the self-titled single, “No More Drama” – from the same album – in a stunning white two-piece set with mirror leopard print embellishments and matching boots.

“Wow. That’s all I’m gonna say, wow. I think you want to give them Mary on steroids, just, like, the most beautiful, glamorous, ghetto fabulous, whatever! We’re gonna take it to a whole other level,” she told Entertainment Tonight of her outfit ahead of the reveal.

MJB showed why she is the Queen during the male-heavy Pepsi Super Bowl LVI halftime show. Dr. Dre assembled a great ensemble to share the stage with. But while I think this was a great look for Hip-Hop, Mary could have held it down all by herself, and it would have been just as fantastic.

The entire show was incredible, especially for any Real Hip-Hop lover, but one of the other greatest standout moments was from Grammy-winning artist Kendrick Lamar. The only rap artist to win a Pulitzer Prize award winner for his music, gave an energetic performance of “Alright,” his 2015 single that became a rallying cry for the Black Lives Matter movement. Kung Fu Kenny also paid tribute to the other Compton superstars that came before him, Dr. Dre and N.W.A.

Eminem took a knee after performing his 2002 hit “Lose Yourself,” 50 Cent made a surprise upside-down entrance, and they were all there to celebrate Dre Day at the first Super Bowl Halftime Show lineup consisting entirely of hip hop headliners. I don’t know if there is anyone who forgot, but after Sunday night, no one will Forget About Dre, and Mary reminded everyone why she is The Queen.

Oh, and by the way there was a game played. The Los Angeles Rams defeated the Cincinati Bengals in Super Bowl VLI. It’s the Rams’ first Super Bowl win since the 1999 season — and their first representing Los Angeles since 1951.

Justice Dept Announces Pattern Or Practice Investigation Into MVPD

Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke for the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division and U.S. Attorney Damian Williams for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) announced on Friday, December 3, 2021, that the Justice Department has opened a pattern or practice investigation into the Mount Vernon Police Department (MVPD). The investigation will assess whether MVPD engages in a pattern or practice of discriminatory policing. The investigation will also assess MVPD’s use of force, strip and body cavity searches, and how it handles evidence. 

The department will conduct a comprehensive review of MVPD’s systems of accountability, including complaint intake, investigation, review, disposition and discipline. SDNY and the Civil Rights Division will also reach out to community groups and members of the public to learn about their experiences with the MVPD.

Prior to the announcement, department officials informed Mount Vernon Mayor Shawyn Patterson-Howard, MVPD Chief Marcel Olifiers, City Council President Marcus A. Griffith, Commissioner of Public Safety Glenn Scott, and Corporation Counsel Brian Johnson of the investigation. 

“An effective and accountable police department is a hallmark of a healthy and well-functioning democracy,” said Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke. “The Civil Rights Division is committed to ensuring that law enforcement agencies across our country use their authority in a manner that is constitutional, transparent and free from discrimination.”

“Police officers have tough jobs, and so many do their work honorably, lawfully, and with distinction, respecting the rights of the citizens they have sworn to protect,” said U.S. Attorney Damian Williams. “But when officers break the law, they violate their oath and undermine a community’s trust. We ask that anyone who has information relevant to the investigation into the Mount Vernon Police Department to contact the Department of Justice via email at community.mvpd@usdoj.gov or to call (866) 985-1378.”

The investigation is being conducted pursuant to the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, which prohibits state and local governments from engaging in a pattern or practice of conduct by law enforcement officers that deprives individuals of rights protected by the Constitution or federal law. The Act allows the department to remedy such misconduct through civil litigation. This is the seventy-fourth investigation of a law enforcement agency conducted pursuant to this statute since it was enacted in 1994. The department will be assessing law enforcement practices under the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution, as well as the Safe Streets Act of 1968; and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York and the Special Litigation Section of the Civil Rights Division, in Washington, D.C., will conduct this investigation.  Individuals with relevant information are encouraged to contact the department via email at community.mvpd@usdoj.gov or by calling the toll free phone at (866)-985-1378. Individuals can also report civil rights violations regarding this or other matters using the Civil Rights Division’s new reporting portal, available at www.civilrights.justice.gov.

Information specific to the Civil Rights Division’s Police Reform Work can be found here: https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny. Additional information about the Civil Rights Division is available on its website at www.justice.gov/crt.

I Caught COVID. You Should Get Vaccinated.

I Caught COVID. You Should Get Vaccinated.

My name is Dennis Richmond, Jr., and I’m a 26-year-old New Yorker. Since March of 2020, I’ve been doing good. I made sure to wear my mask indoors and outdoors, I was socially distant, and I received both shots of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. I ran around New York City earlier this month, hitting everywhere from the Burnside Avenue section of the Bronx to the East New York Section of Brooklyn and from the Howard Beach section of Queens to Midtown Manhattan. I did most of this running around- maskless.

On Saturday, September 18th, 2021, I tested positive for COVID-19. The first thing that I had to do was let everybody I was around, know that they were exposed to COVID. Why were they exposed? Because of me. Even though I didn’t expose people on purpose, reaching out to people was an experience. One person asked me, “Is this a joke?” It wasn’t. Somebody else had told me “Thank you for telling me.” That was
a nice response, considering I just furthered the pandemic because I didn’t want to wear a mask.

After hearing some interesting responses, things got crazy. One person who I was around told me that if they tested positive for it, they wouldn’t tell anybody. Wait. If you catch the Rona, you’re not telling anybody around you? Somebody else dared to tell me after I told them my diagnosis, “That explains why I haven’t felt good all week.” Are, you, serious? For real? Don’t tell me that. I wasn’t glad to know that I had to let my relatives, who are seniors, know that they were exposed to COVID-19 too. I had seen an uncle of mine who’s 81. I had to let him and my aunt know.

I felt the urge to post my diagnosis on social media. I did, and I got a myriad of reactions and comments as a result. The amount of love that people showed me from social media and elsewhere was beautiful. This person lives in Queens, this one lives in Virginia, this one lives in Harlem, and this one lives in Pennsylvania. It was something.

Things got crazy yet again when I started conversing with people around my age about getting vaccinated. Young adults are so quick to smoke something and get high but hesitant to take a vaccine. It doesn’t make sense. You don’t know what’s in that loud, gelato, sour, or kush, but you’ll smoke it. God, forbid you have to take a vaccine so you won’t spread a deadly virus.

Since COVID-19, I lost weight, I slept a ridiculous amount of time, and I had to quarantine in my room, in my house. If I had to say anything at all, it would be to please, just get vaccinated.

For real. Get vaccinated.

Stolen In Ghana. Sold In South Carolina.

Stolen In Ghana. Sold In South Carolina.

My name is Dennis Richmond, Jr., and I am a 26-year-old author and genealogist. I have been examining my family tree since March of 2008. I am humbled to say that I made strides that many of those researching Black families only dream of making. I know the plantation that my family was on and, I know who owned them.

I also know where my ancestors came from in West Africa. My great, great-grandparents are Rhina Nelson and Brutus Bowens. Born on Saturday, December 28th, 1889, Grandpa Brutus was one of the children of Gabriel Monday Bowens and Flora Stevens. He was born in Big Camp, South Carolina. Big Camp is close to Pineville, SC. Grandpa Brutus, a farmer, and father of seven died of heart failure on October 29th, 1931, at just 41 years old.

My great, great-grandmother, Grandma Rhina, the daughter of Kate Nelson and a former slave named John Gould, died in 1950. She is resting in the Mexico Cemetery in Berkeley County. There are at least two dozen Bowens relatives buried in the Mexico Cemetery. The fact that there are first names in my family tree, like “Saturday” and “Monday,” suggests that my ancestors descend from the Akan people of Ghana.

My great, great, great grandmother is Grandma Kate Nelson. Grandma Kate was born c.1866 in Berkeley County, South Carolina. Her parents are Primus Nelson, born c.1842, and Sarah Wiggins, born c. 1845. Grandpa John Gould was the son of Cain Gould and Henrietta Westin. I found my family through census records, death records, and with the help of a special genealogist named Jeanie Glaser. My ancestors Primus and Sarah were born in the Mexico area of Berkeley County.

The goldmine for me was locating several of my ancestors in an estate inventory. Primus, Sarah, Cain, and Monday all appeared in the estate papers for Major Samuel Porcher in 1851. Samuel Porcher owned close to 400 slaves at the time of his death. All his property had value. His property included my ancestors. I saw
prices next to all my ancestor’s names. Imagine waking up and being told that you were worth $340.

I learned that Grandpa Cain’s parents were named Quashy and Sappho, Grandpa Gabriel’s parents were Moses and Lizette, and Grandpa Primus was a child of Billy and Lucy. Galboa and Silvey were the names of Grandma Sarah’s parents.

My ancestors were slaves on the Mexico Plantation in Berkeley County, South Carolina. My ancestry doesn’t start on the Mexico Plantation, though. DNA evidence from multiple descendants of Grandpa Brutus and Grandma Rhina shows Ghanaian Ancestry. Those Akan naming traditions survived Cape Coast Castle in Ghana, the slave ships, and the Mexico Plantation, all the way to 2021 to allow me to write about them today.

Many of my ancestors in this branch of my family descend from people stolen from Ghana. My African ancestors didn’t come to America by choice.

It’s time for me to take a trip back home.

The Greenburgh Housing Relocation Crisis Update

The Greenburgh Housing Relocation Crisis Update

Okay, once again, it’s time for some REAL TALK!

The Greenburgh Housing Authority’s Executive Director, Raju Abraham, sent a strongly worded email, Thursday afternoon to the Greenburgh Human Rights Advisory Committee that if they continue with their scheduled Rally, Sunday, August 22nd that they will be arrested.

Ms. Goodman

Please be informed that 100 Greenvale Circle is owned by Greenburgh Heights LLC, a private entity, which is managed by the Greenburgh Housing Authority. I have been informed via social media and other sources that an organization named “ Greenburgh Human Rights “  and Greenburgh Human Rights Advisory Committee chaired by you, is holding a Tenant rally on this property on August 22, 2021 at 6 PM. We don’t allow, and we have not given permission for such rallies and gatherings to be held on our property and it will be construed as trespassing on private property . We have informed authorities on this matter. We request you to take necessary actions to prevent this rally from taking place on our property.

Sincerely,
Raju Abraham
Executive Director
Greenburgh Housing Authority
9 Maple Street, White Plains, NY 10603.
Ph. 914 946 2110

The Greenburgh Human Rights Advisory Committee – that serves as a resource to help facilitate better understanding among the diverse groups in the Town of Greenburgh. NY. – agreed to refrain from holding a committee-sanctioned rally. But several individuals acting on their own tell Black Westchester they refuse to stand down, vowing to continue with the rally Sunday from 6-8PM as scheduled to advocate for the residents being relocated. They say they will be there letting the residents know their rights and that they have resources like the Westchester Residential Opportunities.

“Black people are free,” Housing Advocate, Mechelle Brown, and Stephanie Swann, who is a resident of Greenburgh Heights LLC, shared with Black Westchester. “People that live in the Greenburgh Housing Authority are entitled to invite people to their homes to exercise their First Amendment – which guarantees freedom of expression and the right of citizens to assemble peaceably. We were invited by the residents and fully plan to be there for them.”

Greenburgh Town Supervisor Paul Feiner stated in a follow-up email that he would be happy to participate in meetings with tenants and to use my office to help the Housing Authority make the temporary move as stress-free as possible.

“I like the idea of having individual meetings in different complexes with as many tenants who would like to participate. Town officials, the housing authority, the housing action council and tenants can all meet together. Hopefully, we can help find housing within or very close to the school district,” Feiner wrote. “And we could ease some of the anxiety that many of the tenants have.  I’m hopeful that at the end of the process the tenants will feel that we all tried hard and fought for a good quality of life for them while construction took place.”

This is where I am a little confused. If the Town Supervisor likes the idea of having meetings at the different complexes, why is the Greenburgh Housing Authority threatening to have those scheduled to rally behind the tenants arrested? Aren’t the GHA appointed by the Town Board? A quick Google search revealed that the Board is comprised of four Council members, who are elected for a four-year term, and the Supervisor, who is elected for a two-year term. Are the officials of Greenburgh taking out of both sides of their mouths?

According to their website, “At the Greenburgh Housing Authority, the tenant matters!” Their Customer Care Service Pledge states that Greenburgh Housing Authority commissioners and employees are dedicated to providing you with excellent service. We thank you for being our clients. Our goal is to completely satisfy your housing needs. That’s all sounds good, but from the tenants we have spoken to, they do not feel like they matter and are receiving anything but the excellent care the GHA pledges on their website.

So for those keeping score or playing catch, allow me to go back to how Black Westchester first got involved. Black Westchester received a letter to the editor alleging that seniors are being displaced. We received several calls and emails from residents for about three weeks about he situation, mostly in support of the allegations in the letter asking me to help shed light on what’s going on. Then we started receiving emails from Raju Abraham, the Executive Director of the Greenburgh Housing Authority (GHA), and were provided with links to a video of a meeting where members of the GHA stated that the letter to the editor was full of misrepresentations of the facts. We received calls about residents being silent when trying to speak up, including a senior or two.

So, after many calls for Black Westchester to look into what’s really going on, we scheduled a special edition of our weekly talk radio show, People Before Politics. Friday, March 19th and Dr. Bob and I held a forum to open up dialogue to try to bring out some solutions. We invited the Chairman of GHA’s Board Bishop Wilbert Preston – who says the letter by Greenburgh Housing Authority’s Federal Sites Commissioner Renee Robinson was misleading – Town of Greenburgh Supervisor Paul Feiner, Executive Director of Greenburgh /Ceo Greenburgh Housing Authority, Raju Abraham (who did not appear on the show), Greenburgh Housing Authority’s Federal Sites Commissioner Renee Robinson, Former Greenburgh Housing Authority State Site Commissioner Clifford Abramson (who did not appear on the show), Town Supervisor Candidate Tasha Young (who has been advocating for those relocated) and a few others including one senior, Mrs. Lorraine Frazier who came of to backed up Commissioner Renee Robinson’s letter, as well as share her experience (no heat and broken toilet that keep backing up) and the experience of other seniors (who are without food and ended up in a nursing home) who feared retaliation and did not want to appear.

We scheduled a special edition of PBP Radio, five months ago today on March 19th and we are no closer to getting to the bottom of things and have not received any responses to our follow up emails requesting updates spoken about during the show. We promised then the show wasn’t going to be a one off and we weren’t going anywhere. You can watch the recording of the radio show here, and see what was said and promised five months ago. As promised on the show to all involved Black Westchester will be following this situation all the way through and continue to shed light on what’s going on with the Greenburgh Housing Relocation Crisis and will report back what happens Sunday evening at the rally. We invite all involved to contact us for a follow up interview because

Blacks Winning For America By Brother John Morrison

24-year-old Simone Biles is the most decorated American gymnast and is considered one of the greatest and most dominant gymnasts of all time. Those who attack or question her decision to step down, you could never survive a day in her shoes.

Like the Federalist.com’s John Daniel Davidson who wrote “Sorry, Simone Biles, The Olympics isn’t about you, It’s about winning for America.”

What do Black People gain by winning for America? Let’s see!

1936
Jesse Owens won 4 Gold medals representing America, returning back to America, he was still forced to enter through the back door of a Reception held in “HIS HONOR”.

1960
Muhammad Ali known then as Cassius Clay, won a gold medal in the Rome 1960 Olympic Games. representing America. After returning home and being declined service at a “HOMETOWN”
restaurant in Louisville KY, because he was an African-American, Cassius Clay was so angry that he threw his gold medal into a river.

1968
John Carlos Bronze Medalist and Tommie Smith Gold Medalist, track and field winners in the 200 meters at the 1968 Summer Olympics, and their Black Power salute on the podium caused them to be Black Bald and Ridiculed. “Niggers need to go back to Africa!” and, “I can’t believe this is how you niggers treat us after we let you run in our games.”

The Olympic Commission has made sure something like this will never happen again, you must sign a waiver now, whatever the Commission considers inappropriate actions will not be demonstrated or you will be immediately suspended.

2012
Allyson Felix is the 2012 Olympic gold medal winner, and a three-time world champion – maintaining the title from 2005 through to 2009. She’s the only Olympic female track star to win six gold Medals Representing America.

Allyson Felix said her “stomach dropped” when she was asked to participate in a female-empowerment ad for Nike while negotiating maternity protections with the company.” I was like, this is just beyond disrespectful. She was eventually dropped.

2012 – 2016
Gabrielle Douglas won the 2012 Olympic all-around champion and the 2015 World all-around silver medalist Representing America. Returning home her biggest Obstacle was her “HAIR”. She was humiliated because her hair wasn’t acceptable to America. Remember the statement, “She is cute, but my God look at her HAIR” That phrase elicits in every American black woman a particularly dehumanizing and existential dread — a fear, a state of mind, a poison distilled from over 400 years of not having “good enough” hair.

2021
Simone Biles member of the 2016 Olympic gymnastics team referred to as the “FINAL FIVE”, where Simone won her 25th World Championship Medal that fall. She now has a Combined 30 Olympic and World Championship Medals. Simone has announced she will be dropping from the Competition due to Mental Issues.

Some believe she’s faking, she just doesn’t have tough skin, how dare you let America down. Again she has nothing.to prove or really explain to anyone. Some want to know exactly what Mental illness she is dealing with. America should be looking at the many Athletes who are dealing with Mental illness and start addressing it. Some black people will say, well we have come a long way. How far exactly have we come?

We are still getting crumbs and acting like, yes we are moving forward. Yet we are still being Disrespected, Targeted, and Separated. But, hey to some It’s getting better. We’re moving in the right direction.

“SHUT UP AND PLAY”
“SHUT UP AND PLAY TENNIS”
“SHUT UP AND DRIBBLE”
“JUST SHUT UP PERIOD”

It’s now 2021 and we still represent America with Pride, but still fighting for the same exact thing, Equality, Justice, and Human Rights.

John Morrison Aka Brother John is the Head Coach of the YO.K.O Boxing Team, which has produced 5 Golden Gloves Champions, 3 Ringside Champions, and 10 Junior Olympic Champions. He is the Co-founder of Brother 2 Brother Radio, bringing information to the Community, and is the President and co-founder of the 100 Black Fathers for Change Organization.

Yonkers Reacts to LOX – Dipset Verzuz Battle

(Picture above – The Memorial of Juelz Santana’s Bandana on Palisade “The Strip” Avenue in Yonkers)

On the night of Thursday, August 3rd, 2021, two American Hip-Hop groups, The LOX, out of Yonkers, New York, and The Diplomats, otherwise known as Dipset, out of Harlem, New York, went head-to-head at Madison Square Garden. The two groups participated in a Verzuz battle. The Verzuz series, created by producers Timbaland and Swizz Beatz, brings two musicians or groups of musical artists together to highlight their discographies. This battle was one for the Hip-Hop history books.

My niece Alajah Whitehead, my nephew Tracy Meighan, Jr., and I all went down to The Garden for the event. Though we were not inside for the function, we saw celebrities like Fabolous, Jim Jones, French Montana, and Takeoff outside of the building. I saw expensive cars, Mercedes Sprinter Vans, and what had to be millions of dollars worth of jewelry. New York looked beautiful.

When the Verzuz battle began, I was one of what would become over 640,000 people who were in attendance virtually. The event was in-person, and Madison Square Garden seats over 20,000 people. The battle began with the introduction of American ring announcer Michael Buffer. After members of each group went back and forth for a while, The Lox started it off. The night was nothing short of spectacular. Rappers Sheek Louch, Styles P, and Jadakiss not only represented The Lox, but they also represented Yonkers.

The Verzuz battle was playing everywhere. It was playing in Manhattan, it was playing on a television screen at a business in Yonkers, even though the store was closed, and I had it playing when I was driving my niece and nephew home. The Lox won the battle without hesitation. Yonkers was in the house, and I loved it.

The Lox knew their lyrics, helped each other, and they had enough comebacks for Dipset to make the night feel like true Hip-Hop in New York was supposed to. Sheek Louch, Styles P, and Jadakiss had a major and beautiful stage presence. They brought energy, movement, and a plethora of hit songs. Technician The DJ was on cue with the group so much that anybody who saw the battle knew what time it was. Dipset rapper Juelz Santana purposely bumped into LOX rappers Styles P and Jadakiss, so Jadakiss took Juelz Santana’s bandana off his head and threw it on the floor of the stage. Iconic.

The day after the battle, I decided to go from neighborhood to neighborhood in Yonkers and ask people how they felt about the event. I started filming on Riverdale Avenue in Yonkers. On foot, I made my way to Palisade Avenue, Elm Street, Spruce Street, Cliff Street, Oliver Avenue, Ashburton Avenue, and Warburton Avenue.

I had a lot of people tell me not to film them. A group of people on Palisade Avenue permitted me to film The Memorial of Juelz Santana’s Bandana. In less than four days after the completion of the video, Yonkers Reactions To The Lox VS. Dipset Verzuz Battle, it now has over 232,000 views and almost 4,000 likes on YouTube. I gained well over 500 subscribers on YouTube too. People from across the world are commenting on the video and are looking at my channel. All I did was ask people in my community how they felt.
