Recognizing #BLACK EXCELLENCE for 71 years The Seattle International Film Festival honored actress Regina Hall with the Seattle International Film Festival Award for Outstanding Achievement in Cinema yesterday, Sunday, June 2nd. The acclaimed actor was joined by Jacqueline Coley from Rotten Tomatoes for on‐stage interview at SIFF Cinema Egyptian. Following Ms. Hall’s tribute, she introduced Support the Girls, Andrew Bujalski’s film which won her the New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Actress. The Seattle International Film Festival, is the largest and most highly attended film festival in the United States, which runs May 16 ‐ June 9, 2019. This year, SIFF will screen 410 films representing 86 countries and will include: 147 features (plus 4 secret films), 71 documentaries, 12 archival films, and 176 shorts. The lineup includes 33 World premieres (12 features, 21 shorts), 42 North American premieres (27 features, 15 shorts), and 19 US premieres (11 features, 8 shorts). PHOENIX (AP) The biggest victims of President Donald Trump’s tariffs won’t necessarily be Mexicans or Chinese or young urbanites who will have to pay more for avocado toast. The people likely to pay the steepest price for Trump’s attempts to bend Mexico and China to his will are poor Americans, who already live close to the financial edge and could have to pay more for everyday purchases. For many low‐income households, tariffs “are a tax on their consumption, and by raising the cost of their con‐ sumption, they will likely have to cut back,” said Jay Shambaugh, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. The president last week announced plans to impose a 5% tax on Mexican imports unless that country halts all unauthorized border cross‐ ings into the United States. The tariffs would rachet up to 25% in the coming months if Mexico fails to stop the flow of immigrants and asylum‐seekers. The threat of higher tariffs follows a decision in May to hike tariffs to 25% from 10% on Chinese imports, a move designed to increase pressure on China to agree to more favorable trading terms with the United States. But rather than force concessions from China and Mexico, the tariffs could boomerang on U.S. consumers and companies. The taxes could raise the price of fruits and vegetables and disrupt the supply chain for auto parts in ways that could hurt vehicle sales. That would be hard on people like Walter Rogers, a 65‐year‐old retiree living in Phoenix on a Social Security check he says is about $700 a month. “We just got a cost‐of‐living raise. Now they’re going to raise prices?” Rogers said as he walked to Walmart. “Hardly anybody can afford this.” Executives at Walmart and dollar‐store chains, which import much of their merchandise and serve many low‐income customers, have warned that tariffs could lead to higher prices. A 2017 research paper co‐authored by Shambaugh found that tariffs would eat up a greater pro‐ portion of the incomes of the bottom 10% of households. The burden would be much lighter for those higher up on the financial ladder. The findings — which are backed by most economists — stand in sharp contrast to Trump’s mis‐ leading claim that foreign countries are paying the tariffs. In reality, the taxes are passed along to consumers and companies in the form of higher prices and reduced economic activity that can sti‐ fle overall growth.

Because the goal of America is freedom, abused and scorned tho' we may be, our destiny is tied up with America's destiny."- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. In June, the National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA) joins with millions of other Americans in celebration of Black Music Month and National Homeownership Month. As the trade association representing more than 200 African American‐owned newspapers and media companies around the nation, the NNPA also observes Juneteenth, the oldest known cele‐ bration commemorating the ending of slavery in the United States. Among the many cities planning Juneteenth celebrations this year include Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Ocean City, New Jersey; Lexington Park, Maryland; Washington, D.C.; Minneapolis, Minnesota; Los Angeles, California; Detroit, Michigan; Chicago, Illinois; and Atlanta, Georgia. According to the history of Juneteenth, on June 19th, 1865 and more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation which became official on Jan. 1, 1863, Union soldiers led by Major General Gordon Granger landed at Galveston, Texas, with news that the war had ended and slaves were now free. The president’s proclamation freeing slaves had little effect because of the small number of Union troops available to enforce the Executive Order. However, after the surrender of General Robert E. Lee in April 1865 and the arrival of Granger, the forces were finally strong enough to influence and overcome the resistance. With many also commemorating National Homeownership Month, the NNPA has long support‐ ed fair lending and housing practices as the organization has said it realizes that homeownership is one of the best ways of creating intergenerational wealth. Companies like Wells Fargo have developed initiatives to help African Americans achieve the American Dream. In 2017, the banking giant announced a $60 billion lending commitment to cre‐ ate at least 250,000 African American homeowners by 2027. In 2018, the Black homeownership rate stood at 42.2 percent – only tenths of a percentage point higher than the same rate reported by the U.S. Census Bureau a half century ago when the Fair Housing Act was signed into law. That troubling fact served as the impetus behind the National Association of Real Estate Brokers (NAREB) program to increase Black homeownership by two million over the next five years. “Black homeownership is the first, and most essential step to build economic strength within our communities,” NAREB President Jeffrey Hicks said in a news release. “We’ve lost more ground than we’ve gained over the past 50 years,” Hicks said. “Whether through unmeasurable losses of equity during the country’s last economic meltdown, consistently high unemployment rates, unfavorable federal and state policies restricting affordable homeownership, or systemic mortgage lending barriers, Black homeownership – and therefore our wealth‐building potential as a people—remain diminished,” he said. Throughout the month of June, events are held to embrace the achievements, prominent time‐ liness and impactful moments of Black music.

Obama declared that thestart of summer would be a cel‐ebration for “the rich heritage”of African American music andhow these instrumental musi‐cians, “have enriched Americanmusic and captured the diversi‐ty of our Nation.”

“The music of our Nation hasalways spoken to the conditionof our people and reflected thediversity of our Union,” Obamasaid.

“African‐American musicians,composers, singers, and song‐writers have made enormouscontributions to our culture bycapturing the hardships andaspirations of a community andreminding us of our shared val‐ues,” he said.

There are two major reasonswhy the poor face an outsizedburden, Shambaugh said.

First, poorer Americans tendto spend all of their income,while wealthier Americanshave enough income left overto save and invest. That leavesthe poor more exposed to high‐er prices from import taxes.

Second, the wealthy aremore likely to splurge on servic‐

es such as farm‐to‐table restau‐rant meals or gym member‐ships that are not subject totariffs at all. But poorerAmericans spend a higher per‐centage of their income onbasics such as clothing and gro‐ceries that are more likely to beimported and subject to tariffs.

Marlene Grimes has noticedhigher prices for dairy goodsand vitamins at the drugstorenear her Phoenix apartment. Ifprices go even higher, she said,

she would have to visit the localfood pantry more often.

“I’m on a fixed income,” saidGrimes, a 74‐year‐old retiree.“If it goes up on what you buy,you just don’t buy it.”

During a period of wideningincome inequality, Trump’splan to levy tariffs will compli‐cate the legacy of this 2017income tax overhaul, his signa‐ture policy achievement.

Administration officialsrepeatedly pledged that the

middle class and poor wouldbenefit from lower tax rates,but the chief beneficiaries ofthe overhaul so far have beenthe wealthy and corporations.Any tax savings realized by thepoor could be eaten up by high‐er prices from tariffs, accordingto an analysis being releasedthis week by the TaxFoundation, a right‐of‐centerthink tank in Washington.

Mullin, Hardaway reflect on ‘Run TMC,’laud today’s Warriors

Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings toleave office after 8 years

DALLAS (AP) — On a recent stormy morning, MikeRawlings took the podium at his final annual policememorial event as Dallas mayor to again pay respectto the memories of two more cops who died in theline of duty.

In Rawlings’ two terms, Dallas, especially around thecity’s core, boomed, although others had plantedsome of those seeds before he took office — theWright Amendment’s expiration that led to LoveField’s boom, for example — and the city remaineddivided by great wealth and dreadful poverty.

Rawlings’ political opponents, often led by CityCouncil members Philip Kingston and Scott Griggs,who is now a mayoral candidate, grew their powerover the years and defeated some of the mayor’splans. Those included the construction of the long‐debated Trinity River toll road, the reorganization ofthe Dallas Independent School District and theturnover of Fair Park’s management to a group of hischoosing.

Sometimes Rawlings managed to eke out victories inthose defeats. With help, he wrested a compromiseon the Dallas Police and Fire Pension System’s over‐haul after a bare‐knuckles political brawl that strainedhis relationship with first responders. He paired theTrinity toll road’s death with the birth of a new entityto build a park between the levees. He won plauditsfor his education boosterism, which coincided withDallas ISD’s academic gains. And the council stillturned over Fair Park’s operations to a private group.

In addition, as marketer‐in‐chief for Dallas — formeraide Sam Merten said Rawlings always saw that as themayor’s main role, “whether or not you agreed” —and in the bright lights of big moments and crises,Rawlings often shined, say both supporters and someof his fiercest critics.

City Council member Adam McGough, Rawlings’ for‐mer chief of staff, said the mayor “didn’t always sayand do the right thing, and he didn’t come throughunscathed.”

“But he led the city through some of these toughissues and helped put the city on a course to do biggerand better things,” McGough said.

Rawlings — a former Park Board president, cityhomelessness czar, advertising executive and CEO ofPizza Hut — won his first mayoral term in 2011 withthe business establishment’s support. In a runoff, hedefeated former Police Chief David Kunkle with nearly56% of the vote.

Rawlings quickly went to work on his GrowSoutheffort. He scored some symbolic wins for southern

Dallas, such as the creation of the Trinity Forest GolfClub and the AT&T Byron Nelson Tournament’s arrivalthere.

He also grew skeptical of the Dallas Police and FirePension System’s investment strategy and began tobattle its leadership. And the 2012 murder of DeannaCook by her ex‐husband — and subsequent focus onwhether police could have prevented it —helpedprompt his launch of another signature effort: hiscampaign against domestic violence.

Council member Jennifer Staubach Gates, whochaired Rawlings’ domestic violence task force, saidthe mayor’s advocacy “made a difference.”

“That is one of the roles of the mayor — to take atopic you feel strongly about and use the bullhorn.And that’s something he felt strongly about,” she said.

After the new mayor of Dallas is sworn in later thismonth, Rawlings wants to take a road trip with Mickithrough the Midwest and visit friends and family.

The longest‐serving Dallas mayor in six decades willgo back to work at CIC Partners, the private equityfirm he helped found in 2004. He said he has deflect‐ed calls about seeking a statewide office as aDemocrat.

Rawlings said he could’ve done other things with hislife during the past eight years, but he remembers hisfriend Roger Enrico, the late former PepsiCo chief,telling him that he’d have richer life experiences asmayor.

“I have regretted at times being mayor because I feltlike I was treading water,” Rawlings said. “But it wasthe right thing for me to do.”

Dallas police investigating homicide of another transgender

woman

DALLAS (AP) ‐ Dallas homicide detectives are investi‐gating the death of a transgender woman after herbody was pulled from a lake in north Texas over theweekend.

Police Chief U. Renee Hall says there were "obvioussigns of homicidal violence" in the death 26‐year‐oldChynal Lindsey, but did not describe how she died. Thedepartment has asked the FBI to assist in the investi‐gation.

Police say a game warden retrieved the woman'sbody Saturday from White Rock Lake after a passer‐byreported it around 5:45 p.m.

Hall says police don't currently have evidence toconnect Lindsey's death to the killings of other trans‐gender women in the North Texas city over the lastseveral months.

Maj. Vincent Weddington says Dallas police havefour open homicide cases involving black transgenderwomen dating back to 2015, including Lindsey's.

In May, someone killed 23‐year‐old MuhlaysiaBooker a month after a cellphone video showed herbeing brutally beaten in a seemingly separate attack.

Cuba restrictions hit cruise linesat the start of summer

MIAMI (AP) — The Trump administration’s newrestrictions on travel to Cuba will hit hardest at thecruise industry, taking away a new and increasinglypopular destination at the start of the critical summervacation season.

Major cruise lines immediately dropped stops inCuba from their itineraries and hastily rerouted shipsto other destinations including Mexico.

Nearly 800,000 passengers already on cruises orbooked for future trips were affected, according to theCruise Lines International Association, an industrytrade group.

At docks in Florida and aboard ships at sea, frustrat‐ed travelers vented Wednesday over wrecked vacationplans. In New York, shares of cruise line companies fellin midday trading.

“We have a ship full of disappointed and angry peo‐ple,” said Darcy Van Zijl of Cape Coral, Florida, whohad planned to celebrate her 45th birthday with acruise to Havana.

The U.S. Commerce Department announced thenew regulations Tuesday to take effect Wednesday.Cruise lines that carried passengers for “people‐to‐people” travel to Cuba were told they could not con‐tinue. The restrictions effectively made it illegal tocruise from the U.S. to Cuba, according to the industrygroup.

Cuba trips represented a relatively small percentageof passenger cruises — about 3% or 4% for NorwegianCruise Line Holdings and even less for Royal CaribbeanCruises and Carnival Corp., according to UBS analysts.

But passengers typically paid more to visit theisland. Cuban itineraries commanded premiums of upto 20% over cruises to the Bahamas, according to UBSanalyst Robin Farley.

“This is going to have a noticeable impact on thecruise lines’ earnings this quarter and the rest of thisyear and likely into 2020,” said Henry Harteveldt, atravel analyst with Atmosphere Research Group.

At midday, shares of Norwegian were down 5%.Royal Caribbean was off 4%, and Carnival had dropped3%.

NEWS YOU OUGHT TO KNOW

SAN RAMON, Calif. (AP) —Chris Mullin and TimHardaway spent two seasonsas teammates at Oracle Arena,back when it was called theOakland‐Alameda CountyColiseum Arena.

The nostalgia is floodingback this week.

The Golden State Warriors’era in Oakland is ending. Onlytwo or three games remain,starting with Game 3 of theNBA Finals against theToronto Raptors on

Wednesday night. And when Mullin and Hardaway — two‐thirds of the team’s famed “Run TMC”trio from 1989 through 1991 — reunited to appear at a Warriors’ youth summer camp, theycouldn’t help but reflect on what the building has meant.

“It’s always time for change,” Hardaway said. “You knew it was going to come at some partic‐ular time. It’s here and now.”

The Warriors move across the bay from Oakland to San Francisco next season and start playingtheir games at the glistening new Chase Center, a building that will open in about three months.When the team started installing the first seats at the new building, Hardaway was there for theceremony.

Mullin is still the only Warriors player to have 15 field goals in a game while posting a triple‐double in the building now called Oracle. He said it is fitting to send the building out with a finalsrun.
