    Teachers are treasured members of society, but it is truly special educators who change the lives of their students. One such outstanding teacher is Thomas Kling, who saved dozens of students from a life of violence and poverty through the power of education, and his story is brought to life in Legacy Media’s inspiring new documentary Kling: A Teacher Who Defied The System. 

    Demetrius Matthew’s debut film upholds the legacy of beloved Chicago teacher Thomas Kling and his dedication to making a difference in the community. Featuring interviews with Kling himself and the very students he changed the lives of, this film is an inspiring tribute to an incredible educator and to the hard work that the teachers of America do every day — something which has been made even more apparent during the pandemic. Kling: A Teacher Who Defied The System is available soon on Amazon Prime and Tubi.

    Premiering in October 2021 at the Twin Cities Film Festival, Kling is a moving snapshot of Chicago’s West Side in the 1980s. The film offers an authentic perspective with its historical footage and first-hand accounts of growing up in a time when the future was uncertain for children from disadvantaged families.

    Demetrius Matthews describes his film as a love story; a love story between a teacher and his students.

    “Education is a battle. Being a teacher is a battle,” says Matthews. “Mr. Kling risked everything to give me and so many other students a chance to attend high school and be successful in life. I honestly believe I wouldn’t be where I am today without him, and this film is incredibly important to me. It’s an honor to share Mr. Kling’s story with the world.”

    Synopsis

    A great teacher can educate, empower and uplift. “Kling: A Teacher Who Defied The System” is a tribute to one such extraordinary educator. In the West Side of Chicago in the mid-80s, 33-year-old Thomas Kling vowed to transform the lives of dozens of students lost in the pressure cooker of drugs and racism. His profound and lasting impact now shines in a documentary created by the very lives he saved.

    –
    In response to a domino effect that first began in the State of Georgia earlier this year, faith leaders from around the country will join together in Washington, D.C., this week for a series of events promoting the need for voting rights legislation. African Methodist Episcopal Church announces that the “My Vote is Sacred” events will occur on Tuesday, June 15 through Thursday, June 17, and include worship services, rallies, legislative briefings, and advocacy meetings with congressional officials.

    “My Vote is Sacred” was first anchored and organized by a contingent of Georgia faith leaders, including AME Georgia Bishop Reginald Jackson; Rev.

    This week events in Washington, D.C., will include faith leaders from around the country, and buses of parishioners and activists will be traveling to participate.

DeLisha Davis, People For the American Way; and Sherrilyn Ifill, NAACP Legal Defense Fund, Southern Poverty Law Center. Immediately following the rally, faith leaders and those in attendance will march in unity from the Mayflower Hotel to the White House gates for a Kneel in Protest Prayer.

    IMPORTANT LOGISTICAL EVENT INFORMATION:

  • Top 10 “What’s Up, Y’all?” Videos of 2020

    Top 10 “What’s Up, Y’all?” Videos of 2020

    [ad_1]

    2020 has been a difficult, heartbreaking, and tumultuous year in so many ways. The toll COVID is taking on our communities, especially the most disenfranchised among us (disproportionately poor and working-class people of color), remains heartbreakingly gut-wrenching. Governments across the globe have violated the rights of their people repeatedly, from the ongoing police murders of Black and brown people in the US to the rise of authoritarianism in Hungary, rising state-sponsored anti-Muslim violence in India, increasing evidence of oppression against Uighur Muslims rounded up and sent to forced labor camps in China, and police brutality and murder of youth protesters in Nigeria.

    At the same time, 2020 has been a year of great (un)learning, resistance, and revolution. Just as we have seen the lethal forces of hate, apathy, lies, and violence used against the most marginalized among us, we have also seen Black, brown, undocumented, disabled, queer, trans, poor, working-class, and many other folks rise up and fight back to advocate for our lives and futures. This year has challenged us in so many ways, and yet, through showing us the cracks and failures of capitalism, white supremacy, a for-profit US health care system, criminal “justice”, and other cruel and outdated systems, 2020 has also shown us the power of the collective and the necessity of our dreams and activism.

    More Radical Reads: 6 Ways White Folks Can Support Black Lives Matter, Even If You Can’t Leave Your House

    As our founder Sonya Renee Taylor teaches us, it’s a powerful practice to live in the both/and — to embrace the at times uncomfortable and even painful liminal spaces we find ourselves in as we rupture old patterns, selves, and lives to co-create our future. Sonya shared back at the beginning of the COVID crisis:

    “We will not go back to normal. Normal never was. Our pre-corona existence was not normal other than we normalized greed, inequity, exhaustion, depletion, extraction, disconnection, confusion, rage, hoarding, hate, and lack. We should not long to return, my friends. We are being given the opportunity to stitch a new garment. One that fits all of humanity and nature.”

    Throughout 2020, Sonya has been reaching out with lessons of radical self-love, not only through her written work and appearances via dozens of podcasts, round tables, panels, keynote speeches, and news programs, but also through her “What’s Up, Y’all?” videos posted to her Instagram and YouTube channels. She has provided us with wisdom for all seasons of this year. In November, as those of us in the US (and many of us around the world) were waiting with baited breath for the outcome of the presidential election, Sonya reminded us:

    “Liberation is not a thing we will be delivered unto. It will be the act of daily creation — and it will be the act of daily creation in the midst of great chaos. Because it has always been the act of creation in the midst of great chaos.”

    As we look back on 2020, gather the wisdom we’ve gained from it, and prepare to meet 2021, here is a countdown of Sonya’s top ten most popular “What’s Up, Y’all?” videos from the year. We share them here as an invitation for continued learning, reflection, inner inventory-taking, and outward action-taking as we dream a liberatory 2021 into existence.

    10. “The Willful Confusion of Whiteness”

    9. “Whiteness Is A Death Cult White Folks NEED To Get Out Of”

    8. “What’s the Conversation for Non-Black POC and Mixed-Race Folks?”

    7. “If Black Trans Lives Don’t Matter Then No One’s Will”

    6. “Get Your Damn Toddler and Other Anti-Racist Work”

    5. “When Capital Is More Valuable Than Black Bodies, Capital Must Be Disrupted”

    4. “Labeling the Pickle Jar: Are You Ready To Be Rid of Whiteness?”

    3. “Don’t Ask What You CAN Do To Help Unless You’re Down To Do This!!!”

    2. “While You Were Sleeping… And Now That You’re Awake”

    1. “Why Talking To Your White Family About Black People Is the Wrong Approach”

    May the lessons contained in each of these videos spark further discussion and carry us into the new year as brain, heart, and soul fuel and inspiration. There is no going back, but tomorrow can be better when we work together to create it.

    New Documentary From Cinema Libre Studio Examines Rising Hate Crimes in Trump’s America

    updated: Dec 19, 2017


    LOS ANGELES, December 19, 2017 (Newswire.com)
    –
    Winner of the Award of Merit at indieFEST Film Awards and Best Political Documentary at Atlanta Docufest, THE UNAMERICAN STRUGGLE documentary is the first examination of the rise in hate crimes and bigoted rhetoric since the election of Donald J. Trump.

    Last month, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) reported that hate crimes had increased by nearly 5% since 2015 in their annual Incidents of Hate report. The report recorded that 5,818 “single-bias” incidents occurred, in which one or more offense types, or incidents, were motivated by the same bias. Of those, 59.2% were motivated by a racial, ethnic and/or ancestry bias; 19.7% by a religious bias; 17.7% by a sexual orientation bias; and 3.3% by a gender identity, disability or gender bias.

    There are two sides to bigotry. There are those who openly oppose it, and then those who foster it. People who stay silent in the face of this bigotry provide quiet support for it.

    Ric Osuna, Director, The UnAmerican Struggle

    For activists on the front line of the identity politics movement, this rise in hate crimes is not a surprise, and many of them feel the numbers are underreported.

    Featuring Heidi Beirich and Naomi Tsu of the Southern Poverty Law Center, Angeles Valenciano of the National Diversity Council, Edward Ahmed Mitchell, Executive Director of the Georgia Chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and Sir Maejor Page, President of Greater Atlanta Black Lives Matter, the film finds a consistent and resounding increase in hate crimes across the board, and subsequently, the fears of minority communities.

    The Trump White House last week acted to ban the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from using the words ‘vulnerable, entitlement, diversity, transgender, fetus, evidence-based, and science-based’ in their 2018 budget documents, preventing the agency from accurately describing the needs of some of the country’s most vulnerable people.

    Director Osuna, who is of Mexican-American heritage and whose Mexican father served in Vietnam, says, “There are two sides to bigotry. There are those who openly oppose it, and then those who foster it. People who stay silent in the face of this bigotry provide quiet support for it. Bigotry unchecked ushers in greater abuses to civil rights, as evident through the recent attacks on the free press, the cornerstone of American democracy. ”

    Dead by Cop Crisis: NGO Issues Urgent Appeal to United Nations Human Rights Officials

    [ad_1]

    The United States Sustainable Development Corp has made an urgent appeal to the United Nations Human Rights Council to investigate the killings of unarmed men, women and children of color in the United States. “This request is to urge the Human Rights Council to conduct a thorough and impartial investigation into law enforcement practices that may undermine the human rights of African and Indigenous descendants of colonialism and enslavement in the United States,” UN NGO President, Ava Gabrielle

    Geneva, Switzerland, September 26, 2016 (Newswire.com)
    –
    ​​​​Following the recent deaths of Terence Crutcher of Tulsa, Oklahoma and Keith Scott of Charlotte, North Carolina, a US based NGO submitted an appeal as a matter of extreme urgency to five UN Human Rights Special Rapporteurs and the UN Working Group of Experts on people of African Descent, which conducted an official visit to the US in 2015.  “In January 2016, the ‘Working Group of Experts on People of African Descent’ described the violence against African and Indigenous descendants of colonialism and enslavement in the United States as an ‘epidemic of racial violence by the police’”, the organization reiterated to officials. 

    In the letter addressed to the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights for the United Nations at Geneva, which is currently in session with the 33rd Human Rights Council, the group also cited the Congressional Black Caucus’ recent symbolic march to the office of US Attorney General Loretta Lynch’s to deliver a similar appeal to the Department of Justice.

    African and Indigenous descendants of colonialism and enslavement from all walks of life believe that they are under siege (in the United States).

    Ava Gabrielle, President/CEO, USSDC

    “In a September 2016 letter to the United States Attorney General, the United States Congressional Black Caucus formally requested that she ‘aggressively pursue investigations, indictments and prosecutions through the Office of Civil Rights against any and all law enforcement officers who harm or kill innocent, unarmed black men, women and children.’ The Human Rights Council can and should join in that request.”

    Officer Betty Shelby who shot and killed unarmed citizen Terence Crutcher as he stood beside his disabled vehicle on the side of the road was charged with manslaughter and has been released on a $50,000 bond. No one has been charged in the death of Keith Scott and protesters who are now more peaceful on day six than they were on day one are calling for the resignation of the city’s mayor and police chief for botching the investigation which has been taken over by the state of North Carolina.

    “African and Indigenous descendants of colonialism and enslavement from all walks of life believe that they are under siege (in the United States). Although law enforcement killed some 1200 people in 2015, only 7 resulted in a charge with a crime and none were convicted. Police charged in the deaths for Americans like Walter Scott, LaQuan McDonald and Akai Gurley are free on bond, awaiting trial. African and Indigenous descendants of colonialism and enslavement are left feeling disenfranchised and devalued in the United States,” the organization said.

    Since 2014, several law enforcement related deaths have been caught on camera, more recently in real time and aired live via social media by family members and by-standers that have triggered massive waves of traumatic responses from the communities of African and Indigenous descendants of colonialism and enslavement in the United States.

    The letter directly quoted the Human Rights Council’s resolution language that described the purpose of the urgent appeal to the United Nations. “This communication is an urgent appeal about the increasing potential in a contentious climate for “time-sensitive violations that involve loss of life, life-threatening situations or imminent or on-going damage of a grave nature that require urgent intervention to cease” such occurrences.” 

    The letter concluded with a three-point request:
    – “Urge the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights to pay close attention to the human rights situation in the United States; Report regularly and publicly on the human rights situation in the country;
    – Establish a long term mechanism, such as a country specific special procedure mechanism to document the situation of human rights in the United States; assess priorities and report back periodically to the Human Rights Council;
    – Demand that all actors in the situation, beginning with the United States Department of Justice, ensure the protection of civilians, oversee the immediate cessation of any violations of international human rights and humanitarian law and put in place measures to prevent further violations;”

    The appeal was addressed directly to Victoria Lucia, Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples; Ms. Rita Izsak, Special Rapporteur on minority issues; Mr. Mutuma Ruteere, Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance; Juan Ernesto Mendez, Special Rapporteur on torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment; Pablo De Greiff, Special Rapporteur on the promotion of truth, justice, reparation & guarantees of non-recurrence; and members of the Working Group of Experts on people of African Descent, Mireille Fanon-Mendez, Sabelo Gumedze, Michal Balcerzak, Ricardo III Sunga and Ahmed Reid.

    Others alerted were the US Department of Justice, the White House, the Congressional Black Caucus, the Ambassador of the United States to the United Nations Human Rights Council and the office of Multi-Lateral and Global Affairs/Democracy Human Rights and Labor.

    ​​​In October 1993, the opening sentence of a front page article in the Virginian Pilot said her “mind is as sharp as a broken piece of glass”. At the time, Ava Gabrielle Wise was engaged in a campaign to secure infrastructure for a rural Virginia community in which the residents had no indoor plumbing or running water. A young community organizer with the Northampton Housing Trust, a small local non-profit, she assisted the community in purchasing the land where the neighborhood was located so that by the time the struggle for infrastructure was accomplished many residents could become homeowners. The campaign went national and resulted in her being presented with an award for civic activism by the Hampton Roads Black Media Professionals Association.

    Gabrielle-Wise has always had a passion for justice; a heart for disenfranchised communities and the people who live in them. She went on to spearhead the development of an anti-poverty initiative in 1994 following an encounter in Raleigh, NC with Dr. Muhammad Yunis, founder of the Grameen Bank. The resulting program was a small business lending initiative called the Northampton Economic Empowerment Corporation. The organization was later merged with the Northampton Housing Trust and became the Virginia Eastern Shore Economic Empowerment and Housing Corporation. 

    ” I discovered that one of my proficiencies is bringing together groups who are often focused on the same issues, but from different perspectives”. Over the years she has convened members of academia with practitioners, the private sector with public and community leaders with government leadership.”

    Ava Gabrielle-Wise, President/CEO, USSDC

    By 2002, Gabrielle-Wise was in Birmingham, Alabama working as part of a collaborative team with the University of Georgia and Tuskegee University on an economic development study that was commissioned by former Senator Zell Miller (D-GA) to determine what, if any economic development entity would best facilitate economic growth in the poorest regions of the southeastern United States. The region is known historically as the “Black Belt”, but was referred to as the “Southeast Crescent” in the study which was eventually distributed among the 535 members of Congress.

    One of the members of Congress that received the study was a freshman member of the US House of Representatives (D-AL), Artur Davis. Upon reading it, he contacted Gabrielle-Wise an invited her to assist him in developing the economic development platform for the 7th congressional district of Alabama. She remained with that effort for two and a half years before leaving for a brief stint as Director of Economic Development for Jefferson County, Alabama. 

    “It was during this period that I came to realize that one of roles at which I was most effective was as a convener”, said Gabrielle-Wise. “Whether it was organizing one of the largest social justice conferences in the Southeast United States in 2003, or one of the first regional community economic development conferences in Selma the same year, I discovered that one of my proficiencies is bringing together groups who are often focused on the same issues, but from different perspectives”.

    Over the years she has convened members of academia with practitioners, the private sector with public and community leaders with government leadership. “I’ve learned how to bring the right people together to have the right conversations and hopefully take the right action,” said Gabrielle-Wise.  Likewise, she sees the role of USSDC, which she founded in 2009, as a convener in this latest phase of her professional life with the United Nations. “I became an NGO representative to give voice to those isolated populations that have been affected by war, colonialism and enslavement, to provide space for them to tell their stories. It has always been, and is still about justice.”

    –
    ​​​​​​​In a meeting at the International Social Justice Commission in New York City, founder and president of United Nations NGO, the United States Sustainable Development Corp, Ava Gabrielle-Wise moderated a discussion intended to begin a process of expanding the public discourse on United States history to include the creation of race and the homogenization of people from a diversified mix of cultural origins into the binary culture of white and black as a pre and post-colonial economic and political tactic. 

    The panel for the meeting entitled “Understanding the Role of National Identity in Global Politics”, included historians Jeffrey Ogbar, PhD and William Loren Katz. A handout circulated at the meeting cited, “ethnic homogenization” laws that reclassified people of color from many national and ethnic backgrounds, including Moors, Mulatto, Indian, Negro and others into “negro or black” and consequently “slave”. This effectively created an antithetical people group that became known as “white”, and consequently “master”. The fixing of this binary code permanently into the sociopolitical culture of the United States, continues to permeate every phase of its institutional development. Gabrielle-Wise sees the elevation of authentic history by an accredited United Nations NGO as a restorative act; to convene representative voices in hope to restore dignity to the legacy of hundreds of proud people groups and ultimately integrity to the history of American people who made invaluable contributions to its foundation.

    “…there is some scholarship, there just aren’t many active agents of change to effectively promote that scholarship and redirect the current of the existing public narrative.”

    Ava Gabrielle-Wise, President/CEO, USSDC

    “There is a misconception that there is no scholarship on the history of the resistance alliances between indigenous and African people both before and after the founding of the United States,” said Gabrielle-Wise, “but the reality is there is some scholarship, there just aren’t many active agents of change to effectively promote that scholarship and redirect the current of the existing public narrative.” Some point to the lack of credible scholarship as an intentional effort to control the message. As the first English colony in North America, it is in Virginia that the precedent  for many of the founding principles about cultural legacy was established. The absence of such scholarship for much of the 20th century on the untold history of Indigenous and African alliances in the Commonwealth, was according to blood quantum scholar, Dr. Arica Coleman, “a deliberate effort to construct a White-Indian only historicity and as a means to validate the racial integrity of recognized Virginia Indian tribes”, the outcome of which continues to “promote and protect error, irrationality and unfairness.”

    Both Ogbar and Katz contributed to the furtherance of restoring the authentic history in the panel discussion. Katz cited several historic resistance efforts shared by African and Indigenous people against Europeans as they attempted to colonize the Americas. He went on to recall the continued efforts in the United States to perpetuate the negation of the relationship between Indigenous and African people in film by erroneously casting African-Indigenous people with Europeans. Ogbar detailed the legacy of citizenship and identity through the coded and encoded language that has been both imprinted by the existing historical narrative and that which continues to chart the course for the current condition of people of color in the United States.
