Celebrating Black HistoryScience and Technology Milestones

by Black Americans

By Dr. WIlliam B. Lyons

Black American Inventors and Technological Pioneers When it comes to achievements by Black Americans,

many people are familiar with the accomplishments ofthose individuals who have and who continue to settrends in sports, entertainment, and politics. However,many individuals of all races fail to realize the tremen-dous contributions Black Americans have made in thefields of science and technology. In fact, many of theinventions that make modern life possible were devel-oped by Black Americans. Although many of the histo-ry books in our society do not reflect these facts, it isstill true that Black Americans have contributed greatlyto the development of modern society.

Although many records of very early inventions havebeen lost due to wars, slavery, misrepresentation, orsimply poor record keeping, the fact remains that BlackAmericans hold dozens of patents of inventions. Below,I've listed many of these inventions. However, althoughthis is not even close to the full list of Black inventors,my list gives the reader a sample of how much BlackAmericans have contributed to the fields of science andtechnology.

BY CONGRESSWOMANEDDIE BERNICE JOHNSON

Mr. Ernie Banks, a for-mer star player for theChicago Cubs baseballteam who was born inDallas, was more thanjust an athlete. Mr.Banks, who recentlydied, was a manenriched by his faith andfueled by ambition. Hewon the hearts of manythrough his skills as abaseball player, and hisoptimistic views regard-ing the goodness of life.

While it was Chicagowhere Mr. Banks madehis home, it was the cityof Dallas that was hislife's foundation. His par-ents, Eddie and EssieBanks, raised their familyof twelve children in ahome located at 1723Fairmount Street, a his-torical section of theCongressional districtthat I currently serve.

Mr. Banks' fatherplayed semi-professionalbaseball in Texas, andsupported his family byworking as a janitor andpicking cotton. His moth-er, a homemaker, want-ed her son to pursue alife in the ministry. Littledid they know that oneday he would be award-

ed the PresidentialMedal of Freedom, thenation's highest civilianhonor.

While pursing hisdegree at Booker T.Washington High School,Mr. Banks participated ina number of sports,including track and field,softball and football. Hewas so talented that dur-ing the summer monthshe played semipro base-ball with a team locatedin west Texas.

After spending twoyears in the Army duringthe Korean War andafter a brief tenure withthe Kansas CityMonarchs in the NegroBaseball League, Mr.Banks' contact was pur-chased by the ChicagoCubs.

Six years after JackieRobinson broke the"color line," Mr. Banks, at22 years of age, becamethe ninth AfricanAmerican to play in thepreviously segregatedmajor leagues. Today,Mr. Banks still holds theCubs records for themost games played(2,528), at bats (9,421),extra base hits (1,009),and total bases (4,706).He was voted an All-Stareleven times.

Mr. Banks became themost popular sports fig-ure in the history ofChicago. When heretired from baseball in1971 he was recognizedas the most productiveshortstop that had everplayed professional

baseball. As a sign of hisgreatness, the Cubsretired the number 14jersey that he wore as aplayer.

Although the Cubs hadnot won the WorldSeries since 1908, eachyear during his time withthe team Mr. Bankspromised fans that hewould do his best toensure that they won thefall classic. His belief inoptimism was an essen-tial part of his DNA.

In retirement, heworked for major corpo-rations as a spokesper-son, and was later hiredas a coach by the Cubs.In 1977 he was inductedinto the Baseball Hall ofFame. His concerns foryoung people led him tostart the "Live Above andBeyond Foundation,"where he used hiscelebrity to raise moneyfor causes that improvedthe lives of children.

On January 27th Ientered a statement inthe CongressionalRecord about Mr. Banks,calling him a "trueAmerican legend wholoved his sport, andadored the fans whocheered for him on andoff the field."

Many members of Mr.Banks' family reside inNorth Texas. We aregrateful to them for shar-ing this amazing individ-ual and world-class ath-lete with us. We shallnever forget him, and allthat he did to improvethe lives of others.

Celebrating The Life & The Love of Stephanie Lynn McDonald

BY MR. GENE TURNER

Even though the nameof God is nowhere men-tioned in the book ofEsther, but His sovereign-ty and providence areevident throughout thebook of Esther, all thiscomes back to us cen-turies later, in the 20thcentury with the pres-ence of President BarrakObama.

When you read thebook of Esther you willfind the same situationgoing on right now herein America in 2015. Theonly thing different is thefact, President Obama isa man and is thePresident, and Estherwas a woman and shewas the Queen of Persia,because she married theKing. She was of theJewish people, andPresident Obama is ofthe Black people.

Most of the Persianpeople hated Estherbecause she was a Jew,and many of the peoplein America, like the tea

party, and others hatePresident Obama, justbecause he is Black, butGod is in charge of thisworld not theRepublicans.

By the Republicansbeing in charge of theHouse ofRepresentatives, and theSenate they think theywill be able to do what-ever they want to do, butthat's not so. What manypeople do not under-stand is the fact that Godhas a permissive will,which means that Godallows certain things tohappen to do certainthings down the linewhich we can not see orunderstand.

What many people, donot understand is the factthat the Republicansbeing in control of bothhouses is the best thingthat has happened toPresident Obama sincehe has been in office. Yousee, God is the only onewho is able to touchhearts and minds,because He made all liv-ing. He is able to changeminds to vote one way orthe other. He allowed theRepublicans to get inoffice to let them knowthat He is still in charge ofthe world and not them.

Look at what Mordecaisays to Esther in thefourth Chapter and four-teenth verse. "WHOKNOWETH WHETHERTHOU ART COME TO THEKINGDOM FOR SUCH ATIME AS THIS."

President Obama came

to the Presidency as the44th President whichmeans that thePresidency in this countryhas been controlled by acertain ethnic group allthese years. Now, theythink it is only made forthem to be the top leaderin this country, but God isshowing them that Heand He alone is in chargeof this world.

I have told many peo-ple that the Republicanswill soon understandwhen God put anyone ina certain position, thereis nothing anyone, or anybody of people can doabout it. I know there hasnever been a BlackPresident before, andthat is what makes manypeople resentful of hav-ing a Black President, butno one can move whatGod has put in place.What many people donot know is, PresidentObama has a degree inConstitutional Law, andhe finished number one(1) in his class. Look howcool he is about anything.People who know whatthey are doing do nothave to worry about any-thing. Go on Mr.President Barrack Obamaand do what God put youthere to do. Do whatMordecai said do, stayon, because God put youwhere you are today FORSUCH A TIME AS THIS.

Let us not forget toread our Bibles. May GodBless you REAL GOODand may He ever keepyou in His loving care.

REV. JOHNNY C. SMITH,PASTOR – MOUNT MORIAH

MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH

The magnificent prophet beforeus was certainly puzzled regardingGod's dealing with the nation ofJudah. The Southern KingdomJudah, was on the brink of goinginto Babylonian Captivity (605B.C.). Just before that time, Godcaused a prophet namedHabakkuk, whose name means"embrace," to minister. Thus,Habakkuk probably ministeredsometimes during the time of 620-610 B.C., and he was a contempo-rary of Jeremiah. The prophetHabakkuk certainly raised ques-tions regarding God's dealing withHis people (Judah). He witnessed

to the awfulness of his circum-stance as sin was so dominant inthe land. As Chapter 1 unfolds, thisperplexing prophet had threequestions that disturbed him.These three questions not onlycaused Habakkuk a great deal ofconcern, but they also concern us,for they are: "Why are the wickedprospering in the midst of therighteous? Why are the righteoussuffering and being beaten down?Why isn't God doing somethingabout it?"

Habakkuk was indeed troubledand confused regarding the preva-lence of evil in his day and so arewe! You can find his line of argu-ment in Habakkuk Chapter 1:2-4.His major issue with God is that Hewas seemingly insensitive to theprevalence of evil and that He haddone nothing about it! When ourawesome God replied toHabakkuk's concern in Chapter1:5-11, the answer causedHabakkuk to raise an even moreintense question: How could God

use a wicked nation, Babylon topunish Judah who was more right-eous? This grand prophet couldnever understand God's dealingsapart from supreme trust in Him.As we survey the conditions of ourtime, and there seems to be theprevalence of evil, we need notdespair, but we need to cultivate ahealthy state of trusting in God.We need not despair because faithin God raises us to the level ofknowing confidently that God issovereign and He is in control ofevery small and large circum-stance of life. The real saints ofGod, even though their circum-stance might be adverse, willcome to know that the "Just shalllive by faith" (Habakkuk 2:4).

As this prophet's faith increase,we find him moving from themood of being perplexed to onewho praised God, even in themidst of knowing that the enemy,the Babylonians, would totallydevastate Judah. God's answer tothis troubled prophet in Chapter 1

was that He will punish Judah (1:5-11) by sending the Babylonianarmy and the result of their com-ing would be desolation of theland of Judah. So, even if there istotal and complete devastation asa result of Babylon's invasion(Habakkuk 3:17), Habakkuk hadlearned to trust God and be con-tent with God's answer. WasHabakkuk's prayer answered inChapter 3:1-2? Yes, becauseHabakkuk had become contentwith Almighty God's answer. Andwhen your faith rises above yourcircumstances, you will haveunusual joy (Habakkuk 3:18) andyou will find that God is yourstrength (Habakkuk 3:19) to helpyou through the troubled circum-stances of life. May God truly blessyou and give you hind feet (surefootedness) (Habakkuk 3:19) torise above the adverse circum-stances of this life! Yes, we need tobe sure footed as a mountain deer,rising above the circumstances oflife! Again, may God indeed bless!

A Prophet's Resolution: From Being Puzzled To Complete Trust and Praise Habakkuk 3:17

BY BENJAMIN F. CHAVIS, JR.NNPA COLUMNIST

The best way to celebrateBlack History Month is tomake more Black history.Black History Month is nowcelebrated around the world.We are grateful for the vision-ary leadership of noted histo-rian and scholar Carter G.Woodson for being thefounder of what was knownas Negro History Week in1926 that 44 years laterevolved into Black HistoryMonth.

It is also important to notethat this year marks the cen-tennial celebration ofWoodson's founding of theAssociation for the Study of

African American Life andHistory (ASALH). The missionof ASALH is to "promote,research, preserve, interpretand disseminate informationabout Black life, history andculture to the global commu-nity." Established in 1915, theassociation has no peer in thepreservation of our rich histo-ry.

ASALH continues to extendthe legacy Carter G.Woodson "speaking a funda-mental truth to the world -that Africans and peoples ofAfrican descent are makers ofhistory and co-workers inwhat W. E. B. Du Bois called,The Kingdom of Culture." Yes,it is clearly of the greatestnecessity for all of us to sup-port and spread knowledgeabout the accomplishmentsof Woodson, which includedhis landmark, The Mis-Education of the Negro.Written in 1933, the book isas timely today as it was 82years ago.

We must not allow anyone

or anything to diminish or todismiss the uninterrupted rel-evance and importance ofBlack American history, cul-ture and intellectual genius.The "fundamental truth"about the glorious and tri-umphant history of peoplesof African descent needs tobe retold and appreciated byall people throughout theworld.

We are a proud people.We are an African people. Weare the Black family, commu-nity, nation and global com-munity. We are a people ofthe long centuries-long strug-gle for freedom, justice andequality. Our history did notbegin or end with the tragedyand holocaust of transatlanticslavery. The history of Africanpeople begins with God's cre-ation of humanity. We are theoriginal people. Human civi-lization had its birth and evo-lution in the cradle of theheart of Africa.

When I hear people todaysay that Black Americans

have a challenge with sci-ence, technology, engineer-ing and math (STEM) aca-demic courses and disci-plines, I ask: Why? We are theoriginators of math and sci-ence. One of the reasonsBlack History Month is soimportant is because it forcesus to remind ourselves thathigh achievement and excel-lent academic performanceare a vital components of ourhistorical evolution. Beingskilled in science and math isnot tantamount to "actingWhite," whatever that is.Rather, it's thinking Black inthe finest of traditions.

In a real sense BlackHistory Month is BlackAchievement Month. Wemust do a better job in defin-ing and controlling the narra-tive about Black Americas inthe past, currently and thefuture. The so-called "main-stream" media is still full ofnegative stereotypes anddebilitating caricatures whenit comes to reporting news,

sports or about the culturalarts of people of Africandescent.

Here are my five recom-mendations for properly cele-brating this 2015 BlackHistory Month:

o #Black Lives Matter: Weendorse the national socialmedia campaign to assert thevalue of all Black Americanlives and to confront and stopracially-motivated police bru-tality;

o Let's strengthen Black-owned businesses this monthnot only by buying Black, butby encouraging the mentor-ship and development of anew generation of youngentrepreneurs;

o Financially support theHistorically Black Collegesand Universities (HBCUs),whether to an individual col-lege, or through the NationalAssociation For EqualityOpportunity in HigherEducation (NAFEO), theUnited Negro College Fund(UNCF) or the Thurgood

Marshall Scholarship Fund.Make a contribution to sup-port HBCUs this month;

o Subscribe to a Black-owned newspaper thismonth for yourself and for arelative. #OurVoice75Support the NationalNewspaper PublishersAssociation (NNPA) 75thAnniversary throughout thisyear.

o Let's prepare to reassertour demand for the protec-tion of the voting rights of allpeople and in particular forBlack Americans as weapproach in the next fewweeks the 50th Anniversaryof the Selma to MontgomeryMarch.

Let's make more historytogether. Our future will bedetermined by what we dotoday. Let's make this BlackHistory Month a time of bothreflection and action toadvance the interests of BlackAmerica and all African peo-ple everywhere.

The Legacy of Carter G. Woodson

BY COLLEEN WHITE

Have you ever done some-thing good for someone andthen they turn around and doevil towards you? If you have,you're in good standing. TheBible says in the book ofMatthew that you are to

"Love your enemies, blessthose who curse you, do goodto those who hate you" (Luke6:27-28). It seems like a diffi-cult thing to do, but it can bedone.

When you help someone,you should not expect any-thing in return. And if forsomeone reason, your kind-ness is not truly appreciated,don't worry about it, keepdoing good. This is what isexpected of a person who fol-lows Christ. People are oftennot appreciated for the goodwork they may do. This is typ-ical. However, what is nottypical is for that same person

to continue to do the goodwork and be joyful aboutdoing it. If this is you, thenyou are being Christ-like.

Doing good because of thelove of Christ that lives in youshould not be unusual, itshould be the norm. But inthe type of society we live intoday, people often expectthe worst of each other. Thisshould not be the norm.

As Christians, we should bethe first to offer a kind word, agentle touch, or a warm smileto someone who needs it.Why should we bother? Weshould be willing to showcompassion to others because

Jesus was and is our bestexample. In the book of Actsit says, "Jesus ofNazareth…went about doinggood and healing all whowere oppressed by the devil,for God was with Him" (Acts10:38).

Therefore, when you arehelping others, don't worrybecause God is on your side!God is our best example. Sothe next time you help some-one and they don't seem toappreciate it, remember thatyou're doing what God wouldhave you to do. Amen? Amen!

Hosted by the Academy ofMotion Picture Arts and Sciences,the 87th annual Academy Awardsceremony, better known as theOscars, will either best be remem-bered for the uproar incited bythis year's homogenous nomina-tions, or as a seminal moment forchange in the Academy's long,non-inclusive history.

For the first time since 1998,the stage has been set for ournation to celebrate its leastdiverse Oscars. In a year that sawOscar-worthy turns from severalactors of color, none were nomi-nated in the acting categories,with all 20 acting nominationsgoing to White actors. But thestory doesn't end there. Not a sin-gle woman stood among the fivedirectors and 14 screenwritersnominated in those categories.

In a nation where nearly 51

percent of the population isfemale, how can formidable direc-tors like Ava DuVernay for "Selma"and Angelina Jolie for "Unbroken"find themselves on the cuttingroom floor of the nominationselection? In a nation where,according to a 2014 Pew ResearchCenter survey, "Some 43% ofMillennial adults are non-white,the highest share of any genera-tion," how does the Academy'snominees not reflect Hollywood'saudience base or the nation inwhich we live?

In response to the outcry sur-rounding this year's Oscar nomi-nations, Cheryl Boone Isaacs, thefirst African American and thirdfemale president of the Academy,spoke to the Associated Press andpointed to progress in theAcademy's efforts to reflect ournation's diverse, movie-goingaudience. She noted, "In the lasttwo years, we've made greaterstrides than we ever have in thepast toward becoming a morediverse and inclusive organizationthrough admitting new membersand more inclusive classes ofmembers," adding, "I would loveto see and look forward to see agreater cultural diversity amongall our nominees in all of our cate-gories."

I share her vision, but the ques-tion remains of when those wordswill be put into a plan of action -and championed by the broaderindustry.

A much-cited 2012 survey ofthe Academy by the Los AngelesTimes demonstrates the crux of

the problem. According to the sur-vey, the estimated 7,000 Academymembers are 94 percent White,77 percent male and have a medi-an age of 62 - hardly a representa-tive reflection of the nation.

While my role is not to ques-tion the film credentials of theAcademy's members, I do ques-tion the ability of such a homoge-nous body to reflect the perspec-tives, lives, and stories of a diversepool of moviemakers - and movie-goers. I would also question theability of the Academy to monitoritself and become a more inclusivebody without the pressure of pub-lic scrutiny and advocacy.

Here are a few things to noteabout Academy membership:membership is "limited to filmartists working in the productionof theatrically-released motionpictures…The Academy's mem-bership process is by sponsorship,not application. Candidates mustbe sponsored by two Academymembers from the branch towhich the candidate seeks admis-sion. Additionally, AcademyAward nominees are automatical-ly considered for membership anddo not require sponsors…TheBoard decides which individualswill receive invitations."

The Academy's membershiprequirements are both an indict-ment and call to action. Whenwomen and minorities aresnubbed at the Oscars, it meansmuch more than wounded gen-der or ethnic pride. It means thatwe, as a nation, have lost anopportunity to reflect our unique

diversity via a medium that touch-es so many of our lives. It meanswe have lost another seat at theproverbial Oscar table.

This is about more than awardsdeferred; it is about dreamsdeferred. It is about the lack ofracial and gender diversity we findboth behind the screen and infront of it. It is about the inevitableway the Academy's membershiproll directly influences who getsnominated and who wins.

What it is not about is an unfairadvantage, but instead, a fairchance to have the work of awider swath of our filmmakers,casts and crews considered. Thatmust begin with a significantchange in the composition of theAcademy.

I would be remiss not toacknowledge the strides theAcademy has begun to make toaddress its diversity issues. HiringBoone Isaacs as its president wasan important step on the road todiversifying, and her decision toremove a cap on the number ofAcademy members and push forAcademy members to invite amore diverse pool of people toapply are the first of many impor-tant steps that must be taken onthe journey towards inclusion. Butmore must be done.

Progress rarely comes as aresult of being passive. I urge youto join me in efforts to ensuremore inclusion in Hollywood sothat we can look back on the 2015Oscars as the catalyst that spurredaction for much-needed industryreform.

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.

BE KIND! Never speak harsh words. Be kind and gen-tle with your tongue. For it has been said that the

tongue can be like a sword. Think long before you crit-icize your neighbor. Your tongue can be nasty. Living isone of the most beautiful things in the world. But the

tongue can kill!

MY DAY:By Dr. Ester Davis

The Pathway to FreedomTraveling Exhibit is a verymoving and profoundexhibit now visiting theDallas-Fort WorthMetroplex. I spent a sober-ing hour touring with theever knowledgeable Ms. Yolanda Morgan-Davis, principal of the college prep mentoringgroup who is responsible for the exhibit.

The exhibit is a student group initiative whobecame fully engaged in the organization,passion and vision of the exhibit. Ms.Morgan-Davis explained that when the stu-dents found out that the civil rights move-ment and its people power was propelled byyouth, they wanted to know more.

You must see it. Visit the Martin LutherKing Center before March 5, 2015. Takesomeone.
