The other side of those stories are the memories, traditions and beliefs of the descendents of the lynching parties and the picnic-goers who came out in crowds to see the lynching spectacle.  This is a part of America’s legacy that is dangerous to forget because the tribal motivation to destroy nonmembers is still with us, and it is only a matter of points on a continuum between racism and tribal behavior,  between “I don’t like black people” and “Let’s string him up.”  
What is foreboding about the politics we’re seeing today is that it’s tribal behavior that is being summoned with what are called “dog whistles”  and “buzzwords” of the current campaign.   These descendents of the lynchers are the people the “dog whistles” are for.  When candidate Mitt Romney says, “I’m not concerned about the very poor,” as he did recently on CNN, he is speaking to the heirs of those who went back to their Christian churches, state fairs and neat houses, and instilled in their youngsters the American values that allowed them to fully love Jesus and freely lynch African-Americans. 
Let this list be a warning as to what the “buzz words” are for.  They are for the evil we saw loosed on the Jews on Krystallnacht, when the storm troopers came and on this continent with the slaughtering of the indigenous people and the enslaving of Africans to stretch this nation from the Atlantic to the Pacific. 
The names of the African-Americans who were lynched and killed that we publish in this issue are only the tip of an iceberg of terror that was life in the hundred years after slavery.  It is only one record.  There are others.  The record of white men wantonly raping African women during and after slavery can  be seen in the browning of millions of black Africans and the creation of the wide-ranging hues we see in African-Americans today.  There are others.   Author Michelle Alexander writes of the New Jim Crow, a criminal justice system that is designed to capture and destroy the lives of black men and women.
For African-Americans, this list is a reminder of what we’ve gone through and a glimpse of the causes of the fog of post-traumatic racial stress we are enveloped in every day.  
The Occupy Movement, like the Abolitionists during slavery, are on the other side of the scale.   But instead of the chattel slavery of Africans, their concern is an economic system that is a new and more universal form of slavery where individuals are bound to financial institutions by shackles of debt. 
Like the opposition to chattel slavery, opposing debt slavery is a dangerous thing to do, particularly now that there are signed documents allowing the imprisoning of U.S. citizens stateside and holding them indefinitely without trial.   If this administration were to change, do not think for a moment that this power would not be used. 
When we see the pepper spraying of peaceful protesters, hear of U.S. Marines rolling grenades into residential homes in Iraq, killing peaceful people as a matter of course,  the torturing at Abu Gharaib, the virulent threats against the president and his family, the attack on voting rights, the way prison, criminal justice and nonprofit industries are based on African-Americans as fodder, white supremacist groups, Tea Party literature with President Obama pictured as a monkey, Tea Party cartoons of the president with a bullet in his head, jokes about the president and his “monkey” children.  No one should forget that these are very dangerous people who are being called to with “buzzwords” and “dog whistles.” They are not just racist hoots, they are tribal calls that summon an energy so ugly at its core that it cannot be hidden by suits and Bibles and a stage full of children. 
Let this list also be a reminder to those who believe the “post-racial” talk and insist economics is everything.  It is not. The men and women listed here were not killed because they were poor; indeed, some were killed because they were relatively rich.  They died because of tribal urges that are tenuously held in check today.  We must remain vigilant against them and we must never forget what they are like unleashed.
And finally, this African-American History Month, let us remember that each name had a constellation of families and friends who loved them deeply and who were stricken by the loss.  And even in their mourning, had to live with the question of “who’s next?” in the air every day. 
As you look at these pages and stop on a namesake or familiar place, know that we are connected to all on the list, and that their cries of pain that were met with howls of laughter, can still be heard and will not be forgotten.  David Mark Greaves

“…This inventory is necessarily incomplete. Records are scant. Newspaper reports are scattered. The Tuskegee Institute Lynching Inventory began in 1882 — just before the great surge of lynchings that occurred around the turn of the century — a surge that accompanied the American conquest of the Philippines, defeating the colored fighters of the Philippine War of Independence, called by Anglo-American historians “The Philippine Insurrection.”
This inventory is offered in the spirit of healing and reconciliation, for until the wounds of the Lynching Century are healed there is little chance of reducing the ever so pervasive racism in the United States, as Ida B. Wells put it: The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.
Americans have a long way to go to see full realization of the promises of the Pledge of Allegiance, to see America as a land with Liberty and Justice for All instead of liberty and justice for the white Anglo-Saxon economic elite.
This site is dedicated to all the men, women and children that suffered these atrocities. May they never be forgotten.” (The Lynching Calendar http://www.autopsis.org/foot/lynch.html)

Murdoch snags another top education employeeCity Schools Chancellor Dennis M. Walcott announced this week that Department of Education Communications Director Natalie Ravitz is leaving to become Chief of Staff to Rupert Murdoch, the Chairman and CEO of News Corporation.
The move follows former Chancellor Joel Klein, who left over a year ago to work for Murdoch’s education initiative. Klein’s initial replacement Cathy Black, used to also work for Murdoch.
Murdoch currently owns Wireless Generation, which has millions of dollars of no-bid contracts with the Department of Education. Wireless Generation is also seeking contacts with the New York State Department of Education.
Murdoch’s other holdings include the New York Post, Fox News and the Community Newspaper Group, which has a chain of newspapers in select neighborhoods of Brooklyn.
“Natalie has been an integral part of my cabinet and close confidante since I took over as Chancellor, and I want to thank her for her sharp insight, strategic vision, and commitment to advancing our education agenda,” Chancellor Walcott said. “We will miss her, but wish her nothing but the best as she begins this exciting new journey.”

City hires more social services workersThe city’s Human Resources Administration (HRA) announced this week they will hire more than 200 additional workers to handle a spike in the number of poor flocking to its centers for benefits.
The announcement comes after Our Time Press broke the story about the long lines of people standing in front of the jobs center office on DeKalb Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant after the fire department closed it down for overcrowding.
The story was later picked up by several news outlets.
“The alleviation of crowding at our office is a high priority,” HRA Deputy Commissioner Patricia Smith testified at a City Council hearing.
About 1.8 million city residents now receive food stamps, up more than 700,000 from four years ago, according to published reports.
The agency also plans on adding 49 food stamp eligibility workers and 50 job opportunity specialists. It’s also expanded space in its waiting rooms.
The expansion comes as Governor Cuomo has still not rescinded a state waiver to the city allowing it to fingerprint all food stamp applicants.

The NHL comes to Brooklyn
The New York Islanders will play the first-ever National Hockey League game at the Barclays Center now under construction at the Atlantic/Flatbush Avenue intersection at 7:30, Tuesday, Oct. 2, 2012 when they take on the New Jersey Devils.
The preseason game will mark the first hockey event at Barclays Center, the new major sports and entertainment venue, which will officially open on September 28 with the first of multiple JAY-Z concerts.
The game will also mark the first NHL game to be played in Brooklyn.
“We’re extremely excited to play the first NHL game in the new, state-of-the-art Barclays Center,” Islanders General Manager Garth Snow said. “We already have some of the most passionate fans in the league supporting our young team, and we are looking forward to expanding our base into Brooklyn.”
The arena is also home to the Brooklyn Nets of the National Basketball Association (NBA) starting next season.

City gets Navy Yard for Supermarket
Nearly 25 years after the redevelopment of the six-acre Admirals Row site at the corner of Flushing Avenue and Navy Street was first proposed, the federal government has transferred the property to the City of New York, which will turn it over to the Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation (BNYDC) for redevelopment.
As a result of the transfer, the area’s first major supermarket will be built, two of the historic but neglected buildings will be preserved and new space for industrial tenants will be developed.
BNYDC, which manages the Brooklyn Navy Yard on behalf of the City, will now issue a request for proposals (RFP) seeking a developer to create a 74,000-square-foot supermarket and 79,000 square-feet of additional neighborhood retail space, as well as 127,000 square feet of industrial space on Admirals Row.

The Republicans are using racist themes and buzzwords as a full-throated rallying cry to bring their troops out, while the Democrats share a love that dare not speak its name. There has been no call to attack the 45% unemployment for black men in Milwaukee, or even the 16% national average of black unemployment.
We get to be included in the promise of infrastructure work and with programs that help the 99% and we look forward to that. But with the Republicans lobbing racial grenades, it’s disheartening that the Democrats don’t do any firing back. We don’t even get a shout out in President Barack Obama’s 2012 State of the Union Address.
The closest he came was when he was comparing the lack of cooperation in the public arena to the regimentation of the military: “When you put on that uniform, it doesn’t matter if you’re black or white; Asian or Latino; conservative or liberal; rich or poor; gay or straight.” What’s wrong with this example of course is that the rich won’t be caught dead in the uniform and those in the other categories are probably also poor.
In fact, if it were not for pressure from the Occupy Movement changing the national dialogue, then issues of fairness in taxation and accountability in the foreclosure fiasco, issues that can be helpful to African-Americans and provide resources for the poor, would not be front and center, and that should be instructive.
Everyone knows the African-American community is going to vote for Obama come November, he’s the superior candidate in every way. But that does not mean we should not be making demands, just as every other group is. The Pierce County Herald reports on a study showing that five major American cities have less than 50% of black male residents 16- to 64-years-old working: Detroit – 43.0%, Buffalo – 43.9%, Milwaukee – 44.7% Cleveland – 47.7%, and Chicago – 48.3%. With numbers like that it is not out of line to look for a little special concern. And the fact that it is being sought so quietly, should be a cause for concern itself.

For opening weekend, the action/fighter pilot film was the destination of bus trips packed with church groups and youth organizations, fraternities and sororities, parents with teens, Facebook friends and even college alumni groups. Howard University, my alma mater, had alumni meet-ups for “Red Tails” at Harlem’s Magic Johnson Theater and a New Jersey cinema. Black audiences were drawn by the urge to celebrate and promote the historic accomplishments of these war heroes. The result was an approximate $20 million box office and a number two slot for the epic World War II film.
Lucas, the producer of action, special effects milestones “Star Wars” and “Indiana Jones,” had a 23-year struggle with the major studios to get Tuskegee Airmen story produced. The studios didn’t believe that a big budget Black action film would make money in the U.S. and overseas. So, he personally funded “Red Tails” to the tune of $100 million.
“Red Tails” not only focuses on Black characters, it has a Black executive producer Charles Floyd Johnson (first Black executive producer of a network drama series with the “Rockford Files”), writers (Aaron McGruder (“Boondocks”) and John Ridley (“Three Kings”) and director Anthony Hemingway (“Heroes” and “The Wire”).
“It’s my second go around as a Tuskegee Airmen, I was in the HBO film,” said Cuba Gooding Jr. during an interview in New York. “Every day on the set we had real Tuskegee Airmen. We’d sit around and ask them stories. I would always find out an interesting fact on their accomplishments. Everyday has been eye opening.”
One of the advisors was acclaimed Tuskegee Airman Dr. Roscoe Brown, former president of Bronx Community College. “We’re been trying to do this (movie) for 65 years. We’re really gratified that at last it has happened,” said Dr. Brown. “People will now know about us, who didn’t know before. There is a cadre of people that knew how good we were and what we had done. In fact, our military record helped to bring about the end of segregation. When President Harry Truman signed Executive order that was the first official end of segregation in the military.”
The film boasts an Oscar winner, Gooding Jr. for “Jerry Maguire” and an Oscar nominee Terrence Howard for “Hustle & Flow.” These movie vets acted as mentors on and off screen for an impressive younger drama ensemble: Nate Parker (“The Great Debaters”), David Oyelowo (“The Help” and “Rise of the Planet of the Apes”), Elijah Kelley (“Hairspray”), Tristan Wilds (“The Wire”) and Ne-Yo (“Stomp the Yard”).
“We are proud of these young actors. They treated us like the colonel and the general,” laughed Howard. “When you hear about the Red Tails, the Tuskegee Airmen, they were a select legendary group of people. We meet them when they were human, flesh and blood, before they became legendary.”
The film also garnered the interest of two U.S. presidents. The “Red Tails” cast attended a special Houston screening with President George H.W. Bush, a World War II Air Force veteran, and Dr. Mae C. Jemison, the first African American woman ever to become a U.S. astronaut. In addition, the cast, George Lucas and many original Tuskegee Airmen were guests of President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama for a private screening at the White House.
“I’ve done 60 films and never before have I screened a film with a president,” said Howard.

Neal and her teammate, Annie Zhu, a senior at Brooklyn Technical High School, represented their Asphalt Green United Aquatics team.
AGUA is Manhattan’s leading competitive swim team.
Neal set a meet record of 55.88 in the 100-meter Freestyle, clearing the Olympic Trials cut in the win. Her time cleared the former meet record of 56.00s set by Katie Hoff back in 2007. Hoff went on to be a World Aquatics Championships gold medal winner and Olympic gold medal contender in 2008.
Neal also won the 50-meter Freestyle in 25.96, surpassing another former meet record of 26.13, set by Michele King in 2006. Neal also placed second in the 200-meter Freestyle as well as the 100-meter Butterfly.
To place Neal’s incredible performance in context, the current world record for the Women’s 100-m Freestyle is 52.07, held by Britta Steffen from Germany, and the American record, held by Amanda Weir, is 52.07, a mere 3.8 seconds faster than Neal’s recent results.
“Although it wasn’t my best time, I’m really happy with how I placed,” Neal told reporters after the race.
Zhu took home first place in the Women’s 400 and 200-meter individual Medley. She clocked a 4:50.18 time to also make the Olympic Trials cut.
Neal and Zhu are on their way to compete in the London Olympic Games this year.

The average number represented by State Senators will increase by 1,284 to 307,356 per Senate district. Based on requirements in the NYS Constitution, the number of Assembly seats will remain 150, but will increase by 2,579 for a total of 129,089 per district.
Dr. Esmeralda Simmons states the Center for Law and Social Justice is “now observing the battle of the experts.”
According to Dr. Simmons, “The Senate Republicans have hired an attorney who says his interpretation of the New York State Constitution calls for 63 Senate seats.” Alternatively, “Another well-known expert who has been one of the champions of creating people of color districts of New York state by the name of Todd Breitbart has also put forth his interpretation of the New York State Constitution regarding how many Senate seats are to be drawn or how many Senate seats the data demand to be drawn,” Dr. Simmons said. “His interpretation, and one that is cheered on by the Senate Democrats, says that the constitutional formula calls for 62 Senate seats.”
Dr. Simmons outlined CLSJ’s response. “At this point in time the Center for Law and Social Justice is waiting to see what LATFOR actually draws —Whether they draw 63 or 62. I am pretty sure that Senate Republicans will draw 63 – and what those 63 districts look like in terms of protecting minority voting strength,” she said. “If they draw 63 Senate seats and there is not an increase in the number of Senate seats in communities of color then there is going to be a serious problem. Even if there isn’t an increase, there will still be litigation that will probably follow about which interpretation is correct.”
Explaining the political nature of this redistricting process, Dr. Simmons said, “Under general circumstances, if this were a completely objective nonpolitical process, the smaller the district and the greater number of districts usually equates to a greater number of seats that can be wielded by minority voting strength. However this is not an objective circumstance. This is a circumstance that is anything but apolitical. It is extremely partisan. There is no objective interpretation that has been put forth by LATFOR at this point. I am sure that this will all wind up in federal court.”
Dr. Simmons said the Center for Law and Social Justice has successfully intervened in the Favors case in the Eastern District of New York. Favors is a voting rights case that challenged the fact that redistricting has not as of yet occurred. “We were the first group to successfully intervene in that case and we intend to be a vanguard for voting rights for people of color in New York City, particularly people of African dissent,” said Dr. Simmons.
“We will respond to LATFOR’s maps and we will be in court when this entire issue is being argued,” Dr. Simmons said. “We will be able to put forward a position that looks at the circumstances as they are. Our colleagues in the Unity Map — the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund (AALDEF), Latino Justice PRLDEF, National Institute for Latino Policy (NILP) — have also intervened in the Favors case.”
The groups that collaborated on the Unity Map have come out with a congressional plan, and a second Senate map which supersedes their first Senate map. Their second Senate map includes 62 districts but does not include the prison data.
Since LATFOR is now following the law regarding the Prisoner Adjustment Act, they have released the prisoner adjustment data. “But, by the time they released it practically everyone engaged in the process had drawn maps,” said Dr. Simmons. “The real question that some people are asking is ‘are we going to draw a new set of maps with the prison data and 63 Senate seats?’ At this point in time, the Center intends to see what LATFOR proposes and then act accordingly. We will take whatever steps are necessary to make sure that the record is clear as to the best possible solution for people of color in New York City.”

And when he tells his supporters in his post-voting celebration, “you have taken the first step of taking back this country,” he sounds like he has a little Nazi in him as well. For those who may have been slow to connect the dots, Santorum had said the day before in Sioux City, “I don’t want to make black people’s lives better by giving them somebody else’s money. I want to give them the opportunity to go out and earn the money and provide for themselves and their families.” We know who he is and so do others.
Writing for the San Francisco Chronicle, Robert Reich commented “As political analyst Michael Lind has noted, today’s Tea Party is less an ideological movement than the latest incarnation of an angry white minority – predominantly Southern, mainly rural, largely male – that has repeatedly attacked American democracy in order to get its way.
“America has had a long history of white Southern radicals who will stop at nothing to get their way – seceding from the Union in 1861, refusing to obey civil rights legislation in the 1960s, shutting the government in 1995, and risking the full faith and credit of the United States in 2010. It’s no coincidence that the states responsible for putting the most Tea Party representatives in the House are all former members of the Confederacy. Others are from border states with significant Southern populations and Southern ties.”
In light of this resurgence of the Confederate mindset, it was a frightening and we pray not short-sighted decision for President Obama to allow indefinite detention of American citizens when he signed the National Defense Authorization Act. In the key phrase of the accompanying signing document he says, “I want to clarify that my Administration will not authorize the indefinite military detention without trial of American citizens” but of course a future administration might, and it would only take a nightmare event for the third in line of Presidential Succession, Republican Speaker of the House John Boehner, to take office.
Michael Lind is right when he says that white Southern radicals “will stop at nothing to get their way.” And when you see as improbable a candidate as Rick Santorum surging forward in any part of the country, then you know that this is a time of dark possibilities and unthinkable things in America. And that good people must unite and speak up. We don’t mean to be alarmist, but there may not be much time.

Asheville was the summer home of the Vanderbilt’s and Alma’s grand uncle raised chickens at “Biltmore House”. Paul Robeson’s brother lived at the end of Ridge Street. Rev. Dr. Thomas Kilgore and sister Melissa lived at “Mama’s house while they attended Stephens Lee High School. In Harlem, U.S.A., Alma met Blake & Sissle in grammar school PS157, lived around the corner from Charles Rangel, marched with Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. and more.
Alma Carroll has lived in Bedford Stuyvesant for fifty seven years. You would think that she was a native, when she lists all the great community leaders of the sixties and the wonderful accomplishments of those years. How proud Ms. Carroll is to have worked with people like Herbert Von King who founded The Bedford Stuyvesant Interagency Council Of The Aging. Ms. Carroll is delighted to have served as president since 1991. Aunt Hattie Carthan was a senior when she organized the Bedford-Stuyvesant Beautification Association. Alma Carroll carried on Ms. Carthans, work as President of the Association and Board member of the Magnolia Tree Earth Center.
Alma carried on the work of Ms. Almira Coursey as president of the Tompkins Park Recreational and Cultural Association which houses the Eubie Blake Theater.
Ms. Carroll serves as President Emeritus of the Pulaski St.- Nostrand Ave Block Association that she started in 1967 and headed until three years ago. Over the years she has served as Founder and President of the “Friends of the Marcy branch Library” as well as the President of the “Sumner Armory Council” – the 2nd largest in New York State.
For years Ms. Carroll hosted tours of Bed-Stuy and Crown Heights prior to the convening of the “Annual Conference of Christians and Jews.” Over the years she also served for 16 years as the President of the “79th Precinct Community Council”.
She served on the “Central Brooklyn Coordinating Council” and ran the “79th Precinct Summer Feeding Program for Youth”. Along her way she, working with others and was able to save the opposite side of her block from imminent demolition by the city. She also worked with “Model Cities” and served on a planning committee that helped to bring “Woodhull hospital” to the area.
In 1999, Ms. Carroll founded the “Central Brooklyn Jazz Consortium”, that among its many venues, provides thirty straight days of jazz venues each spring and in the past few years, has expanded coordinating events and a Festival with South Africa. She served as the organizations President until a few years ago.
For decades Ms. Carroll has spent countless hours traveling to Albany to defend the rights of seniors in the city and state, on critical issues such as healthcare, Social Security, Medicare, nutrition and crime and safety.
Among her most precious thoughts and memories, Alma Carroll loves having worked with and being mentored by GIANTS of Bed-Stuy.,such as Almira Coursey, Elsie Richardson and Herbert Von King among others.
Most importantly, Ms. Carroll and the world renowned Jazz singer, Joe Carroll founded the Jazzpazazz Preservation Society before his death. Today, Ms. Carroll had annually produced The Billie Holiday Jazz Festival (a series of Jazz venues around Brooklyn) honoring colleagues of the forties and fifties, that is, until it became part of the “Central.Brooklyn Jazz Consortium”. The Annual Sagittarius Ball celebrates the birthdays of Alma Carroll, Joe Carroll, Etta Jones and a host of other Sagittarians.

The Harlem Renaissance was in full swing; Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington made their first recordings; the first working television was produced; civil rights icons Malcolm X and Medgar Evers were born; the first potato chip factory opened thanks to the invention of African American, George Crum; A. Philip Randolph organized the Sleeping Car Porters;and the popular song “Sweet Georgia Brown” was written. December 16 of that year also enjoyed the births of Alma Carroll and Jane Lee Weatherspoon.

Janie’s Story is rooted in a rich past populated by iconoclasts, activists, farmers, strong village warriors, gardeners, athletes, craftspeople and nurturers.
She grew up in a six-room house with a porch swing at 611 Fourth Avenue, SW, Cairo, Ga. Family members and neighbors built it from hand-hewn oak and pinewoods. It sat amidst the tall pines, moss-hung live oaks and sky sweeping pecan trees of the southwest Georgia town, famed for its lush foliage and flowers, peanuts and Roddenbery syrup. Her relatives still reside there and “land is still in the family”.
Her father Arch Weatherspoon Sr. and mother Grace Anne Smith Weatherspoon, a housewife, seamstress and devout Christian, raised their 12 children plus Grace’s six brothers and sisters.
Among his other skills, Arch Sr. was a gardener for Wight Nurseries (founded in 1887), working in the Tung Oil Tree groves, supporting agriculturists and scientists in the growing of one of the largest trees from whose oil World War II ammunition was coated and battleships painted. He and his friends masterminded a bloodless ambush of the Ku Klux Klan when they threatened harm.
The family worshipped at Cairo’s Bethlehem AME Church, where Janie ushered as a young girl, and where the name of Arch Sr. who could not read nor write is still engraved after more than 70 years: the structure’s exterior stone wall bears the carved inscription by Janie’s brother Joseph of the church’s dedicated caretakers, a list which memorializes Arch’s name as a Trustee.
Janie traces her ancestral roots to the early 1800’s in the coastal plains of mainland Georgia, South Carolina and Florida and the Gullah Sea Islands.
Bloodline kinships reveal she earned her spitfire, “can do” hellraiser spirit honestly. Weatherspoon/Walker/Smith family ties connect to baseball great Jackie Robinson, Olympic basketball star Teresa Weatherspoon, actor Wesley Snipes and the late Rev. Martin Luther King Sr. (as reported by the late “Miss Alice,” Cairo’s village griot).
Janie’s maternal geechie-speaking grandfather, Joe Smith, just a hair over 5 feet tall, was religiously outspoken and never feared reprisal from racists or anyone else. At a very young age, he changed his name from Walker to Smith following banishment, reason undisclosed, from Ridgefield, South Carolina, at an early age. He also lived – or hid out — alone for an extended period in the peat-filled, alligator and snake-infested blackwaters of Okefenokee Swamp. Family lore says that at one point in his boyhood years he stowed on a ship heading for West Africa that returned months later with their feisty, courageous young charge in tow.

It is also reported by the elders that he escaped his situation by walking through South Carolina and Georgia, then meeting Susie King, Janie’s grandmother, a gardener, possibly in Valdosta, Lowndes County, Georgia on his way to Thomas County.
From paternal grandparents Hannah and George Weatherspoon, and the Smiths, she picked up the special knowledge that only comes from West Africa and the South’s backwoods culture, learning to survive through good humor, mother wit, common sense and sharp thinking. At Washington High School, Janie excelled effortlessly in the academics and as a champion basketball athlete competing in nearby towns, including Thomasville and Quincy. She graduated in 1942, but not before being asked to leave school during her senior year for insulting the principal. She could only return and graduate if she apologized. Janie was out of school for five months before her May graduation. In later years, Janie enrolled in field sociology courses at Brooklyn’s NYC Community College.
In the 1940’s, she says she reluctantly boarded the Atlantic Coastal Line train heading North, leaving her beloved pines, oaks, pecan trees to seek opportunity in bigger places — New York’s Port Chester and White Plains joining her maternal aunts and uncles who her mother had raised.
Her skills at community organizing skills were first revealed in White Plains; she formed a Bicycle Club for sister domestic workers “to give us something to do on Thursdays off, and learn about where we worked (throughout Westchester County) on bikes we rented.” No wallflower, she cut loose at the Harlem Savoy Ballroom – home of the happy feet, Thursday evenings, dancing with her friends to the Tempeh-drum-sounding rhythms of Chick Webb’s swing band. “Those were the days,” she says.
Some years later, after settling in Bedford Stuyvesant on Halsey Street, then Marcy Avenue, Greene Avenue, and finally DeKalb Avenue, she was “discovered” by educator Almira Coursey, who was part of a community organizer team seeking “real voices” and eventual active participants for the community’s emerging anti-poverty programs, including Youth In Action, Inc.
Bedford Stuyvesant replaced Cairo, and for nearly 40 years afterward, she served her village through work in a number of organizations and affiliations. Her achievements include but are not limited to being a proactive and outspoken member of the Eleanor Roosevelt Advisory Council, Board member of Bedford Stuyvesant Youth In Action, PTA president of several public schools, including Boys & Girls H.S. and JHS 57, a member of the Marcy Pool Committee, Tompkins Park Beautification Committee, 79th Precinct Council and Women’s Unit of the Salvation Army. She was honorary Chair of the Brooklyn Chapter of the Congress of Racial Equality, led the Eleanor Roosevelt Tenants Association, representing some 3,000 families and was instrumental in changing the name of Tompkins Park to Herbert Von King Park in honor of the powerful community leader. Appointed by then Borough President Howard Golden to Community Board Member #3, she served as dedicated community advocate 18 years.
She was the architect of the Education Action Outreach program, housed at the 400 Hart Street Community Center for a number of years. A social workers social worker, she knew every one to call on every level of city and state government as she ran the Eleanor Roosevelt Housing Community Center, worked with all the PTA’s in the surrounding public schools, and linked teens, adolescents and adults to 100,000 jobs over a period of 12 years. Said one admirer: “She knew the hooks, and she could drop a jewel (giving advice) that would help to save people’s jobs, their apartments and homes; schoolchildren from being expelled; principals control their schools and young people to get into college. A letter from Janie Green was gold, a passport to the future.
She was at the forefront of voter registration, and has been credited by numerous political representatives, some still in office today, for helping them win elections. Many nights were interrupted by calls CouncilmanVictor Robles, Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm, Sen. Thomas Bartosiewicz, then City Councilwoman Annette Robinson, Congressman Ed Towns and Assemblyman Al Vann, Community Board #3 Lew Watkins, Howard Golden, Rev. Al Sharpton, Sonny Carson and many others for advice and direction on how to move on campaign or community issues. Her family was an entire campaign mechanism for protests, fighting for more community policing and housing police. One instance of her successful leadership was her organization of the tenants of Roosevelt Houses to demand more police Roosevelt housing. She rallied the neighborhood to block the intersection of Lewis and DeKalb for three hours demanding police protection. It resulted in increased police presence and enhanced relationship with such popular law enforcers as Costello and the famous law team of “Batman and Robin.”
Her citations, honors, proclamations and certificates of appreciation, merit and leadership achievement reach into the hundreds. Among them are awards from nearly every public school in her North Brooklyn district; every major politician in Central Brooklyn, every major Brooklyn-based grassroots group, agency and local chapters of various national organizations.
She also was the subject of an award-winning documentary short, “…and Call Her Blessed: A Portrait of Janie,” which won several festival awards and special recognition by the American Women in Radio and Television and Brooklyn Borough President Howard Golden.
While she raised a family which includes more than 60 grandchildren, great grands and great great grands (plus the neighborhood), she still found time for craftwork –sewing, crocheting, knitting, cooking, doll collecting and quiltmaking (she’s created a quilt heirloom for each of her children as a legacy gift). On occasion, she recalls entire selections of Langston Hughes poetry learned in her youth.
Now, her greatest concern is that the those in positions of power continue the work begun by her and her colleagues, including Elsie Richardson, Joanne Atiles, Earl Jones, Alma Carroll, Janice Johnson, Muriel Drakes, Dorothy Orr, Almira Coursey, Lucille Rose, Ruby Brent Ford, Narcissus Frett, Madge Ford, Robert Hunter, Richard Taylor, Tom Fortune, major Owens, Al Vann and so many, many others. Last year, she told us, “”Bedford Stuyvesant today would benefit from the wisdom of the people who fought the fight and worked for change. Always make demands and always keep going. Don’t give up! Stand up!”

Dr. James A. Forbes, Jr., former senior minister of Riverside Church, has embarked on his next chapter as the Harry Emerson Fosdick Distinguished Professor of Union Theological Seminary (UTS) and is launching a national ministry of preaching and spiritual renewal.

Our Time Press spoke with Dr. Forbes about his new mission.
OTP: I see you’ve followed Reverend Fosdick’s dictum of not retiring from something but retiring to something.
FORBES: Sir, I think the people fooled me a bit. They put me on a hydraulic lift, took off the old threadbare tires, put on new tires, let me down and said, “Roll on because you’ve been ‘re-tired’.” So I guess that’s the new meaning of retirement, put on new tires and roll on a little bit longer.
OTP: And now your new ministry is to counteract the increasing divisiveness, intolerance and incivility. What do you see as the root of that and how do you plan to get at them?
FORBES: My thinking is that in times of transition, especially if there are traumatic changes. It leaves people with a sense of disquietude and insecurity. And they seek, usually when it’s really perilous for them to find out who is responsible for making me so uncomfortable, changing things around or making me feel insecure, and they usually will reach out for some kind of scapegoat. And I think given the changes that have occurred as a result of globalization, economic decline, increasing exposure to other cultures, with media granting to us the trouble from around the world and showing to us that they are all connected. What happens in Europe affects what happens in our country. So many variables that are not nailed down, tacked down, so people find themselves drifting. That means it’s easier to shift into negative thinking and accusations of others.
I guess what I would like to do to bring a message that history is such that transitions have not always been times of diminished mental destruction. Often, some of the better things happen as a result of transition. And therefore to urge people to face the continuing changes of our time with an eye toward the possibilities in it.
Of course, biblical people always said, “All things work together for good”. I have a different angle on it. “God doesn’t will everything, but God wills something out of everything.” And everybody has the choice to make. Even to sit and suck air through their teeth, or lament what’s wrong, or to keep their eyes open to discover what positives can be extracted from the rubble of the present disaster or present trauma they are in.
So I want to promote hope, I want to urge people to believe that in a sense we are all connected and therefore it’s very poor strategy to kill off people. It’s better to strengthen each other as we face common challenges. And to dare to believe that the spirit is always helpful, even in tough times, to discover where the grace is, in the midst of the disgrace. Things like that I hope will make a contribution.
OTP: If folks would be looking to enact change, are you calling people to act on their beliefs and ideas?
FORBES: I would say when people have reached a kind of spirit of despair, action is one of the therapeutic measures they could take. For example, we are discussing today, everywhere, Occupy Wall Street. The truth is you can’t have 99% of the country experiencing that they have in some way been disenfranchised, dismissed and disproportionately robbed of the subsistent necessities, without saying there is a need for fair tax policies, there is a need for more equitable distribution of resources, there is a need for the respect for all of us, whether or not we are a part of the 1% or not. My sense is, we can sit around and talk about it. That’s not such a bad thing if it gives us insight. But sooner or later, if you want the change to be positive, we all have to join the ‘do something’ club. We will not always do the same thing, but clearly, taking action keeps us from being stuck in a spirit of negativity. So yes. We’re going to pray, we’re going to think, and we’re going to get up off our knees and we’re going to find ways in which we can make a difference. It may be that we’re going to vote more consistently. It may mean that we’re going to join the political process and hold our leaders to account for the well-being of all of us. It may mean that we will try to make very clear our displeasure at the disproportionate resources in the hands of a few to the neglect of the others. Yes, action is one of the ways we heal ourselves in the season of societal malaise.
OTP: You mentioned Occupy Wall Street and the Internet. It seems the Internet is enabling connections between people around the world, and is doing two things at once. On the one hand is the connection of people giving them the ability to be aware of information simultaneously and causing almost a new world organism.
On the other hand it is causing an atomization of society in that like interests can find each other and perhaps edit out other ideas. How do you use the Internet’s ability to do those two things in your ministry?
FORBES: My thinking is that the Internet provides an opportunity for us to invite people into our community. Though we begin with our primary groups, it gives us the capacity to be in touch. If we use the Internet in such a way that it results in isolation, the spirit of individualism, the spirit of “My crowd, my way or the highway,” then we will have taken a wonderful blessing and turned it into a detrimental aspect of the modern society. Obviously, the people who connected with each other in Egypt when they were trying to get their movement going, it was not enough to just talk on the cell phone or e-mail or get onto somebody’s Facebook. They finally had to come out and make contact with each other to make their voices heard. My feeling is it’s wonderful to make contact, the question is what do you do with the contact. Does the contact lead to a reduced sense of community? Does it lead to a reduction of flesh and blood connections? My hope is that with the new social media mechanisms, it will make possible actions that will be promoting the common good rather than my little bailiwick.
OTP: Speaking of bailiwicks, is this going to be a teaching position at the seminary? Will you be growing seeds to go out with the message?
FORBES: Yes, my coming back to the seminary, I was a teacher there from ’76-’89, I have come back to the seminary because I am very much aware that we’ve lost a spirit in the culture and we need to cultivate leaders who understand the relationship between spirituality and socially transforming movements. I think, for example, when we get together Wednesday night we will have representatives from Alban Theological Seminary, New York Theological Seminary, and Union Seminary. They will all be there and I’m actully hoping that through the young leaders preparing for congregational leadership as well as academic careers, perhaps we will get some fresh insight that could lead to another spiritual awakening.
People do not always remember that in the great awakenings in the history of our nation, many of them started at places like Princeton, Yale, Harvard, Oberlin. I’m up there on the hill, Columbia University on one side, Barnard Teachers College, Jewish Theological Seminary, International House, Riverside Church. Perhaps the spiritual revitalization that leads us to more justice in our nation, maybe it might be sparked at the seminary. If not in the immediate, then perhaps the persons who are trained in theological education who will become pastors and leaders in the community, maybe that’s where the spark will take place.
I have gone back to the seminary, my primary work will not be in the quadrangle of the seminary, I will teach preaching and I will teach some other courses, my primary work will be to go forth into the nation with a preaching, teaching and convening responsibility so that we are able to project a spirit of justice in contrast to the bigotry and incivility that seems to be growing in all quarters.
OTP: A lot of this is politically and financially pushed and motivated. How do you deal with those interests that are consciously trying to cause divisiveness.
FORBES: The Bible in Isaiah says “Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread and your labor for that which satisfies not.” This suggests that the Lord would like for all God’s children to have satisfaction and abundance in life. However, sometimes a person who hoards resources discovers that will not bring the satisfaction that he or she is looking for. So I will want to address both the 99% and the 1%. I would want to address Republicans and Democrats, and ask the question : “Do you think the values you spout about in political campaigns, that those values, if acted upon, will really bring you to satisfaction? What if we destroyed government, would that make you happy? Supposed you hoarded all of the resources and there was practically nothing left for anybody else, would that make you happy? My task will be to urge people to give deeper consideration to what do we really long for. And are our political perspectives or even our religious practices yielding the quality of life that makes it worth the struggle that is always present in life. So economics, as well as political issues and societal issues, all of these things, when you boil it down, have a fundamental moral and spiritual base. My feeling is that people who balance their material concerns with deep spirituality are likely first of all to be more satisfied with their own lives and are really able to make a contribution for the common good. I hope I can make that case. And if I do that, then maybe the America that comes in the next decade or so will be brighter than the one we seem to have gotten stuck into during this present time.
OTP: Thank you for your time, but before you go, I’d like to ask you about a project of yours, the African Burial Ground. Where is that now?
FORBES: As you know, Howard Dodson worked with us in putting together the Burial ground event. And we are continuing to work with the government services, Parks Division to make that African Burial Ground a place that invites tourists from all around the world to inspire them to understand that as we honor our ancestors, then the prospect for our future is brightened. From the African proverb that says “I am because we are,” suggests that one generation cannot thumb its nose at the former generations, but that our well-being comes as we keep faith with the legacy of those that have gone before. So we will continue to lift this up educationally to have our students go and look at that very beautiful memorial, to get some sense of the sacredness of our ancestors. And to promote that not just for Black kids but for all people to say as one man said to me down south, “Jim, no man ever amounts to much until he learns to bless his own origins.” That’s true for Black folks, it’s true for white folks, for Latinos, for Asians, for Jews, for Christians, for Muslims. All of us will do better when we keep faith with those on whose shoulders we stand.
