THE NATION’S MAYORS TO GATHER IN DALLAS THIS SUMMER:
THE UNITED STATES CONFERENCE OF MAYORS 82ND ANNUAL
MEETING: FRIDAY, JUNE 20 – MONDAY, JUNE 23
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA SIGNS A PRESIDENTIAL
MEMORANDUM ON REDUCING THE BURDEN OF
STUDENT LOAN DEBT
Surrounded by college students, President Barack Obama signs a Presidential Memorandum on reducing
the burden of student loan debt, Monday, June 9, 2014, in the East Room of the White House in
Washington. AP
WASHINGTON (AP) Aiming to alleviate the burden of student loan debt,
President Barack Obama
expanded
a
program
Monday that lets borrowers
pay no more than 10 percent of their income every
month, and threw his support behind more sweeping
Senate legislation targeting
the issue.
Flanked by student loan
borrowers at the White
House, Obama said the rising costs of college have left
America's middle class feeling trapped. He put his pen
to a presidential memorandum that he said could help
an additional 5 million borrowers lower their monthly
payments.
''I'm only here because
this country gave me a
chance through education,''
Obama said. ''We are here
today because we believe
that in America, no hardworking young person
should be priced out of a
higher education.''
Obama also announced
he is directing the government to renegotiate contracts with federal student
loan servicers to encourage
them to make it easier for
borrowers to avoid defaulting on their loans. And he
asked
Treasury
and
Education departments to
work with major tax preparers, including H&R Block and
the makers of TurboTax, to
increase awareness about
tuition tax credits and flexible repayment options available to borrowers.
''It's going to make
progress, but not enough,''
Obama said. ''We need
more.''
To that end, Obama used
the East Room appearance
to endorse legislation that
would let college graduates
with heavy debts refinance
their loans.
The bill's chief advocate,
Democratic Sen. Elizabeth
Warren of Massachusetts,
joined a half-dozen other
Democratic lawmakers as
Obama urged Congress to
pass the bill.
''This should be a nobrainer,'' Obama said.
The Senate is expected to
debate the legislation next
week, but it faces significant
opposition
from
Republicans, who disagree
with the Democrats' plan for
how to pay for it.
Under an income-based
repayment plan created by
Congress, the maximum
monthly payment is already
set to drop from 15 percent
of income to 10 percent in
July 2014. But that plan only
affects new borrowers.
Obama's ''Pay as You Earn''
plan uses another part of
existing law to offer similar
benefits to people who
already borrowed to finance
their education.
Under the leadership of
USCM President Sacramento
Mayor Kevin Johnson and host
Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings,
more than 200 of the nation’s
mayors from cities large and
small will convene in Dallas at
the OMNI Dallas Hotel to urge
Congress to work in a bipartisan fashion to spur job creation
and economic growth in
America’s cities and metropolitan areas, many of which are
still plagued with high unemployment.
While in Dallas, during the
meeting, mayors from all over
the country will come together
to discuss public policy issues
impacting residents in cities
large and small. The economic health of the nation’s
cities, transportation, education, climate change, housing,
help for returning Veterans,
the minimum wage and Sports
& Race top this year’s agenda.
Mayors will release new economic data showing economic
output and jobs numbers for
each of the nation’s 363 metropolitan areas. Mayors will also
hear from several guest speakers including Maria Shriver
who will discuss The Shriver
Report, and what mayors can
do to address the 1 in 3
American women living on the
brink of poverty.
On the final day of the meeting, the mayors will debate and
vote on policy resolutions to
forward to Congress and the
Administration in the hopes of
shaping federal legislation.
Approved resolutions will be
available at www.usmayors.org

DEAR EDITOR:
Dear Editor,
Warmer temperatures are a welcome change after a long, cold winter—but as the mercury rises, it’s crucial to protect our animal companions
by never leaving them in parked vehi-
cles. Every year, PETA receives dozens
of reports of animals suffering and
dying in hot, parked cars. Cruelty-toanimals charges are routinely filed in
such cases.
It only takes minutes for a parked
car to cook an animal alive: On a warm
day, even with the windows cracked,
the temperature inside a parked car
can reach more than 160 degrees.
Parking in the shade and/or leaving
water in the vehicle won’t help.
Symptoms of heatstroke include restlessness, excessive thirst, heavy panting, lethargy, lack of appetite and coordination, dark tongue, and vomiting.
Dogs can succumb to heatstroke in just
15 minutes, resulting in brain damage
or death.
Please, when it’s even a little warm
outside, never leave any living being in
a parked car, even for “just a minute.” If
you see a dog left in a car, have the
owner paged or call 911 immediately—
the dog’s life depends on it. Visit
www.PETA.org to learn more.
Sincerely,
Martin Mersereau, Director

IN REMEMBRANCE OF DR. MAYA ANGELOU
By Congresswoman Eddie
Bernice Johnson
On a bitterly cold morning in
January of 1993 during the first
Inauguration of President William
Jefferson Clinton, the late raconteur, Maya Angelou, captured the
very soul of our nation while reciting her poem entitled, "On the
Pulse of Morning." She was only
the second poet to recite at a presidential swearing-in ceremony.
I sat in the cold with other
members of the Congress, the new
president, vice-president, members of the Supreme Court and
tens of thousands who had come
to witness the inaugural ceremonies.
Dr. Angelou, like the new president, was born in Arkansas, mesmerized all that heard her voice
that morning. In her lyrical poem
she said that an ancient rock cried
out for all of humanity, challenging
people to stand upon its back, and
face a collective destiny, and a
changing world.
In her eclectic life, Dr. Angelou,
a single parent who struggled
financially to raise her young son,
pursued careers as a stage actress,
a poet, a street car driver, a magazine editor, a civil rights organizer, a
college professor and a calypso
dancer.
A winner of the Presidential
Medal of Freedom, the highest
award given to a civilian by our
government, Dr. Angelou lived a
full and purposeful life. Just days
before her passing she was planning a social gathering in her home
in New York City.
She was an elegantly striking
woman who stood nearly six feet
tall. She liked to dance, she drank
bourbon and she was passionately
devoted to the reading of scripture. She and a fellow writer, the
late Amiri Baraka once joyously
danced over the ashes of the great
writer, Langston Hughes.
In her voracious writings, Dr.
Angelou explored the concepts of
personal identify and resilience
through the multi-faceted lens of
racial identity, sexual engagement,
the human family and the necessity to love.
In 1969, Dr. Angelou's acclaimed
autobiographic work, "I Know Why
the Caged Bird Sings," became a
best seller, and its commercial success opened the door for other
African-American female writers
who until that time had been largely ignored by the publishing industry.
Ever an instructor and teacher,
Dr. Angelou, a full professor,
taught for years at Wake Forest
University, a relatively small liberal
arts institution in North Carolina.
Her presence in the lecture halls of
Wake Forest drastically affected
the lives of many of the students
and teachers she encountered.
Students from universities located
hundreds of miles from Wake
Forest flocked to the school to listen to Dr. Angelou's lectures.
Those who wanted to speak with
her were given her personal phone
number at her home.
While she befriended presidents such as Bill Clinton and
Barack Obama, Dr. Angelou was
comfortable with the men and
women who found themselves
unemployed and wedded to urban
street corners and coal mines.
During the eight decades and six
years that Dr. Angelou lived among
us she gave of herself without any
thought of personal gain. She was
unabashedly committed to the
improvement of the human condition. She loved people with no concern for their race, their place of
birth or their religious beliefs.
Indeed, the world has lost one
of it great citizens, and God has
gained another angel. She wrote
and articulated so many profoundly important messages. I shall
never forget that January morning
when she charged our nation,
intellectually and spiritually. Her
presence is etched in my soul.
"No one can dim the light that
shines from within," she once
admonished us. Dr. Angelou's light
shall shine eternally.
U.S. has always ‘Negotiated’ with Terrorists
By George E. Curry
NNPA Columnist
I disagree with President
Obama’s decision to trade five
Taliban leaders being held at
Guantanamo Bay for Sgt. Bowe
Bergdahl, an apparent deserter
who is believed to have been the
only U.S. solider being held as a
prisoner of war in Afghanistan.
My opposition is based on the
firm belief that such exchanges only
encourage future violence against
the U.S. For proof, we need to look
no further than statements made
by Taliban leaders after the
exchange of prisoners.
Time magazine quoted one
Taliban commander: “It’s better to
kidnap one person like Bergdahl
than kidnapping hundreds of useless people. It has encouraged our
people. Now everybody will work
hard to capture such an important
bird.”
Even so, Obama critics are incorrect when they claim that President
Obama is departing from past U.S.
practices.
Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas), for
example, said, “The reason why the
U.S. has had the policy for decades
of not negotiating with terrorists is
because once you start doing it,
every other terrorist has incentive
to capture more soldiers.”
Cruz is right about incentive, as
we have already seen, but he is
dead wrong about the U.S. not
negotiating with terrorists.
Michael Reiss, who worked for
the State Department under
George W. Bush, has written a book
titled, Negotiating with Evil. He
traces the practice of the U.S. negotiating with terrorists all the way
back to George Washington, John
Adams and Thomas Jefferson.
Politifact, quoting Reiss, said the
three “accommodated what today
would be viewed as terrorists.” The
author stated, “They each authorized payment to the Barbary
pirates, and the U.S. Senate even
ratified a treaty that enshrined the
annual provision of naval supplies
as ‘protection.’ “
According to USAToday, “…
Security experts like Bruce
Hoffman, director of Georgetown
University’s Center for Security
Studies, said that however common
the refrain ‘we do not negotiate
with terrorists’ has become, it is
‘repeated as mantra more than
fact.’
“‘We have long negotiated with
terrorists. Virtually every other
country in the world has negotiated
with terrorists despite pledges
never to,’” Hoffman said. “‘We
should be tough on terrorists, but
not on our fellow countrymen who
are their captives, which means
having to make a deal with the devil
when there is no alternative.’”
In that same newspaper article,
Charles “Cully” Stimson, who
helped coordinate the Pentagon’s
detainee
operations
under
President George W. Bush, said
both Democratic and Republican
administrations have relied on terrorist groups for “information, supplies, personnel – a lot of different
topics.”
He told USAToday, “We have had
very quiet negotiations, or discussions at least, with terrorist groups
over the years on a whole host of
things. They just haven’t usually
come to light.”
But many have come to light.
Quoting Reiss’ book, Politifact
notes:
*After the North Koreans captured the U.S.S. Pueblo in 1968,
President Lyndon Johnson apologized for spying as part of negotiations to secure the release of 83
American prisoners.
*In 1970, President Richard
Nixon pressured Israel, Switzerland,
West Germany and Britain to
release Palestinian prisoners after
two airlines were hijacked by the
Popular Front for the Liberation of
Palestine.
*During the Iran hostage crisis of
1979 to 1981, President Jimmy
Carter agreed to unfreeze $8 billion
in frozen Iranian assets after more
than a year of negotiations with the
Iranian revolutionaries.
*In perhaps the most famous
swap, after seven Americans were
captured in Beirut, Lebanon,
President Ronald Reagan agreed to
send missiles to Iran in what
became known as the Iran-Contra
scandal.
*President Bill Clinton’s administration sat down with Hamas in
attempts to negotiate peace with
Israel. His administration also
worked directly with the Taliban
nearly two decades ago on several
occasions to see if the group would
hand over Osama bin Laden and
other al-Qaida leaders.
The Website added, “Reiss also
noted that President George W.
Bush engaged in negotiations with
Iran and North Korea even after
decreeing them part of the ‘Axis of
Evil.’”
Defending such actions has
become a sophisticated game of
hair-splitting technicalities.
Factcheck.org observed, “…The
U.S. does not consider detainees
held at the Guantanamo Naval Base
in Cuba to be prisoners of war. The
State Department calls the
detainees ‘enemy combatants.’ In
fact, the U.S. specifically declared in
2002 that ‘Taliban detainees are
not entitled to POW status. … The
Taliban have not effectively distinguished themselves from the civilian population of Afghanistan.
Moreover, they have not conducted
their operations in accordance with
the laws and customs of war.’ That
complicates any assertion that this
was a simple swap of prisoners of
war.”
The word game does not end
there. ‘For what it’s worth, State
Department Deputy Spokesperson
Marie Harf said in a press conference on June 4 that the State
Department doesn’t claim that it
won’t ‘negotiate’ with terrorists,
but rather that it does not make
‘concessions’
to
terrorists,’”
Factcheck.org noted. “She said the
swap was not a concession to terrorists, but rather was part of a
longstanding, historical precedent
of exchanging prisoners “‘during a
time of war.’”
Maya Angelou: I Rise, We Rise, She Rises
By Marc H. Morial
President and CEO
NNPA Columnist
“We hear your calling/ And we
begin by giving you 100 years/ Of
loving defense/ We shall encourage the world to look/ Upon your
complexion and see community.”
- Maya Angelou, from the original poem “We Hear You,” a commemorative tribute to the National
Urban League, performed at the
organization’s Centennial celebration on July 28, 2010
There have been many tributes
to the remarkable life of Maya
Angelou. President Obama called
her “one of the brightest lights of
our time.”
Former President
Clinton described her as “a national treasure and a beloved friend.”
Oprah Winfrey said, “She will
always be the rainbow in my
clouds.”
But it is virtually impossible to
sum up in words the many dimensions, the many gifts and the many
lives touched by a woman who
reigned in regality as the Queen
Mother. As I said in my own tribute
on the day of her passing, “Dr.
Maya Angelou defies any single
description. She defined the
essence of a ‘Phenomenal Woman’
for us.”
Maya Angelou is best known to
millions as a prolific poet and
author. Her first (of six) autobiographies, I Know Why the Caged
Bird Sings, inspired the legendary
James Baldwin to write, “I have no
words for this achievement, but I
know that not since the days of my
childhood, when the people in
books were more real than the
people one saw every day, have I
found myself so moved.”
As an author of numerous
works of poetry and prose,
Angelou continued until the hour
of her passing to move us with her
words and in so many other ways –
as a singer, dancer, actor, activist,
teacher, sage and much more. It is
widely known that she did not
speak for several years following a
tragic childhood rape that resulted
in the murder of her rapist. But,
instead of remaining closed and
silent, Angelou spread her wings,
found her voice and soared into
the hearts, minds and souls of millions of people around the world.
In a lifetime arising out of hard
times, there was almost nothing
she couldn’t do or didn’t try. Her
official website, mayaangelou.com,
recounts that, “As a young single
mother, she supported her son by
working as a waitress and cook…”
In the 1940s, she became the first
Black woman streetcar conductor
in San Francisco. She even once
worked as an auto body shop paint
remover. She was also an accomplished dancer and singer. She has
written a Pulitzer Prize nominated
screenplay, “Georgia, Georgia,”
and was nominated for a 1973
Tony Award for her Broadway performance in “Look Away.”
She has danced with Alvin Ailey,
toured Europe in “Porgy and Bess”
and made numerous appearances
in films and on TV. Maya Angelou
was a modern day Renaissance
woman who lived her own philosophy, “Pursue the things you love
doing and do them so well that
people can’t take their eyes off
you.”
Maya Angelou was also a committed civil rights activist. She was
a friend and confidante of Malcolm
X. She once served as northern
coordinator of Dr. Martin Luther
King, Jr.’s Southern Christian
Leadership Conference (SCLA).
Since 1982, she served as Reynolds
Professor of American Studies at
Wake Forest University. As her
son, Guy Johnson, described her,
she was “a warrior for equality, tolerance and peace.”
The National Urban League will
forever be grateful for her spellbinding appearance at our 100th
anniversary celebration in 2010,
where she delivered an original
commemorative poem entitled
“We Hear You.” Like us, the world
could not help but hear the powerful words and wisdom of Angelou.
She left us with a final wish. On
May 23, five days before her death,
she tweeted, “Listen to yourself
and in that quietude you might
hear the voice of God.” We will
miss her incredible creative and
generous spirit. But the love and
vision of Maya Angelou will continue to rise. It is up to all of us to
make sure that we continue to rise
with her.
"REJOICE EVERMORE" I THESSALONIANS 5:16
Rev. Johnny C. Smith, Pastor – Mount
Moriah Missionary Baptist Church
The Apostle Paul commands us
to rejoice always no matter what
the circumstances seem to be. Our
Christian joy is not dependent
upon external circumstances; its
springs out of the fact that we are
in Christ and is rooted in the
unfathomable blessings flowing
from that union. Thus, everything
in our Christian experience should
be a cause for Joy. Even though we
are maligned, even though we are
misunderstood, we can rejoice
because we are assured that God
almighty is still in control. We can
rejoice in what God is doing in our
lives and in what he is doing to do.
When you think about it realistically, God is working through these
"seemingly adverse circumstances"
for our own good. Through these
circumstances, we learn to depend
on God.
Paul's statement to "rejoice
evermore" is in the imperative; and
thus if we refuse to do it, we are
sinning. We have no right to continue to be despondent and miserable. By rejoicing always even
when our circumstances are
adverse, we are displaying to one
another that we are trusting in the
all-sufficiency of Christ. To wreck
our lives by remaining in the state
of despondency, we are exhibiting
to one another and to the world
that we are not trusting in God.
In one Sunday morning service,
our pastor read to our congregation the letter we received regard-
ing the physical condition of Percy
Prince. Even though Percy was ill,
his letter brought Joy to our hearts
because of his mammoth faith in
God's sovereignty for his life. After
church service a friend of mine
said, "I can't understand how Percy
could display so much Joy in his letter knowing that he is very ill." I
replied, "Percy has reached a spiritual point in his life where he has
accepted God's will for his life." I
told him we should all rejoice
always because our infinite God is
working out every situation in our
lives for our lives for our own good.
Think about it!!!
A Little Bit of Faith: Confession
By Colleen White
If there is something you
think you are hiding from God,
you're wrong. God knows every
little thing that is deep in your
heart. He is the one who truly
knows you like no other.
Therefore, if there is a secret sin
that God has been speaking to
your heart about, then you need
to confess it and turn away from
it. In the book of Psalm it says,
"Create in me a pure heart, O
God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me" (Psalm 51:10).
God can begin to create a
clean heart in you and me the
moment we realize that we need
his forgiveness. Once we are able
to accept that, then we can
begin to move forward in
acknowledging that we are sinners. God will freely forgive you
and me of our sins, but we have
to confess them to Him.
If God has been speaking to
your heart about an unconfessed
sin, knowing this, you need to
confess it today. Don't think that
all your good works, your faithful
giving, and your perfect attendance at church will give you a
pass from facing sin God wants
you to confess. You need to confess your sin today.
Only Christ is able to forgive
us of our sins. Are you willing to
come before the Father and confess your hidden sins to Christ
today? I know I am. Amen?
Amen.

HOROSCOPES
June 12 - 18
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Aries have a good time exploring their neighborhood and
meeting all their neighbors. Try
to find a new hang out, sample
a new restaurant or throw a
block party. You never know
who you will meet. There is
something very likeable about
you that attracts all sorts of
interesting characters. But
don't just fan the air with idle
chit chat. At very least, share
the local gossip.
TAURUS (APRIL 21 - MAY 21)
Money comes your way without much effort on your part.
Other items of value seem to
flow your way as well now.
Easy gains and effortless comfort? At least it will seem that
way. The fact is, Taurus, that
nothing comes that easily without some sort of planning or
hidden price. The cost reveals
itself later once you get use to
all the glorious glitter. Ain't that
rich?
GEMINI (MAY 22 - JUNE 21)
This week heralds in a time of
rewards for all your previous
hard work and planning.
Haven't been working much?
Haven't planned anything
worthwhile? No matter. People
love you for who you are no
matter how lazy you've been.
Enjoy it while you can, Gemini.
Too, too soon you will have to
pay the piper. Until then have
'em play the tarantella and
dance.
CANCER (JUNE 22 - JULY 23)
Feeling a bit closed in and
claustrophobic? Let it all hang
out this week as you let go of
any psychological baggage that
has been holding you back.
Freedom is liberating and you
may even stumble upon some
secret stash of mementos that
reignite old flames and lost
loves from the past. Start a raging fire and see how hot it can
burn. But don't get singed.
LEO (JULY 24 - AUGUST 23)
Leos needn't feel alone now,
nor should they allow themselves to curl up at home and
shut themselves away. This is
the time of year to make yourself very well known. You are
offered a wide choice of enjoyable social activities. Gather
your compadres and make
merry. Friends provide the
laughs if you can provide the
venue. No, not at home. Go
paint the town any color!
VIRGO (AUGUST 24 - SEPTEMBER 23)
Instead of toiling in the backroom for pennies, use the
week to break from the general herd and get in front of the
pack. Toss a few of your well
hidden but great ideas in front
of the powers-that-be and see
what can they can become.
Virgos deserve more than they
are getting and can get more
than they expect now. At least
that is what I've been told....
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 24 - OCTOBER 23)
What is it that stirs your inter-
est? Pursue it now. Sociable
Libras can inflate their circle
into a globe and lob it across all
sorts of exotic terrains. If you
can possibly travel, do so. You
can expect to have an especially memorable adventure. If
time and money are tight, satisfy your wanderlust with a few
lusty wanderers. Oh but let's
keep it anonymous!
SCORPIO
(OCTOBER 24 NOVEMBER 22)
The week brings out the beast
in you. And it's bout time! Life
gets decidedly more interesting and intense. Look your
best. You have an earthiness
and passion that can change
the course of human events...
or something like that.
Scorpios are not known for
their animal tendencies but
now you can be tenderized by a
few bucking broncos. Yahoo!
Ride 'em!
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 23
- DECEMBER 22)
Partnerships take on a greater
intensity. Sagittarians can and
should turn their attention to
their significant others and
have them figure more prominently in their future plans. For
those who are on the hunt,
find ways of making yourself
more available. Late nights at
the office won't do it. Neither
will lunches at your desk. Rub
elbows every chance you get.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 23 JANUARY 20)
Make good use of your work
schedule, Capricorn. You have
a great opportunity to accomplish something of importance
on the job. Well, maybe not
something earthshaking or
monumental but something
that you can point to and call
your own. Okay maybe it's
more like a nicely written
memo ... or a clean desk ... or
perfect
attendance.
Remember that every effort
counts!
AQUARIUS
(JANUARY 21 FEBRUARY 19)
Aquarians have a rare opportunity to kick back and have fun
now. You are inspired and feel
more creative. Try something
or someone new and see how
artistic you really are. Don't let
too much time go by before
you begin to plan (and launch)
a regatta of ship shape parties.
Get all hands on deck. Watch
where you put those hands
buster!
PISCES
(FEBRUARY 20 MARCH 20)
What is it about your home situation that gives everything a
different and happy hue?
Pisces will kick their feet up
and relax with a few close
friends or spend their down
time decorating their surroundings. For those with a few
personal, familial things to get
off their chests, say what needs
to be said. You are more sensitive to others reactions but
don't get a rash.

Former NBA star Derek Anderson
Speak at Central Library
Former University of
Kentucky and NBA
star
Derek
Anderson's
new
autobiography
recounts the overwhelming odds he
overcame to become
successful in basketball and in life.
His message: never
give up. Anderson
will discuss his life
and his new book in
a special appearance
at 1 p.m. Thursday
June 12 at the J. Erik
Jonsson Library, 1515
Young St. first floor
auditorium.
"I titled the book
Stamina
because
everyone comes to a
point of giving up,"
said
Anderson.
"Don't let someone's
opinion about you
become your reality.
Don't let fatigue
defeat you and make
sure you have the
stamina to be a
champion in life." "
In
the
book,
Anderson talks about
growing up without a
mother and a father,
being homeless and
becoming a father at
age 14. He describes
how he refused to
allow the circumstances of his life to
determine where he
would end up, and
how he used perseverance to break out
of a downward cycle
and take responsibility for himself and his
life.
Despite this adversity, Anderson earned
a basketball scholarship to Ohio State
and earned a degree
at the University of
Kentucky. During a
nine-year NBA career
Anderson played for
the Cavaliers, Los
Angeles Clippers, San
Antonio
Spurs,
Portland Trailblazers,
Houston
Rockets,
Miami Heat, and
Charlotte Bobcats.
Copies of Anderson's
book will be for sale
at Thursday's lecture.

O Divine Master,
Grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled, as to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen.
