The Word and the world are forever
evolving.
And this is also true of Chicago
Street Journal (CSJ). This newspaper began
as South Street Journal (SSJ) almost 25
years ago, on the south side of Chicago, and
now its pages reach into the global marketplace.
Yes. The WORD and the world are
moving forward and journalism, in all of its
glorious forms, still plays a pivotal role in
how we describe our world, whether it is
from a street corner in South Africa or from
behind a terminal at NASA.
What could be more gratifying, than
to know that someone is Ghana, the UK or
even Asia is reading a publication, that, decades
ago featured those who walked the
streets of Chicago, and cared about those
blocks? There was probably no way that the
publisher would have imagined that happening.
But, it is happening now because Columbia
University had archived SSJ from
1993 to 2007. You’ll find those copies listed
under the Southside Chicago Documentation
Project as a part of a social science research
project on Black communities in Chicago.
Under the direction of Publisher and
Editor Ron Carter, South Street Journal
(SSJ) served the south side Chicago community
from 1993 to 2013. In 2007, SSJ served
as the platform for the launching of Black
Wall Street Chicago and in 2010 sponsored
the 1st Black Wall Street National Convention.
Recognizing that it was time to move
into a new phase of development, designed
to reach out to all Chicago communities
with distribution on the city’s north, south
and west sides, in addition to the south suburbs,
CSJ was launched August 1, 2013.
For those of you, who back-in-theday,
were South Street Journal readers, you
may see yourself in these pages, as we invite
you to take this soulful stroll down memory
lane. And now we invite our new readers to
this get acquainted “party” via the images
from the past on pages 11, 12 and 13.
In addition, CSJ is reaching out to
those young, passionate voices around the
world who care about this city and our planet.
We’re asking them, to write, create and
record their own history in these pages.
Send us at email at ChicagoStJournal@gmail.com
for instructions on submitting
articles and editorials.
Chicago Street Journal looks forward
to another 25 years, as we travel the world,
and of course, continue to spread the
WORD.

2018 Candidate's Questioner
Chicago is a diverse city with a rich history and it deserves a robust, local paper
that provides stories about local people and the community issues that inspire and create
anticipation for readers. Although African American interest is still at the core of what
we cover, these questions are still for a city-wide platform to provide our readers with
the creditable work in partnership with the office you seek.
1. What one skill makes you the most qualified candidate for this elected office?
2. Do you agree with Governor Candidate Chris Kennedy and Cook Commissioner Richard
Boykin that there has been strategic moving of African Americans in the City of Chicago to any
extent? If so, please provide examples. If not, can you explain the disenfranchisement of African
Americans in Chicago?
3. Would you support legislation of the Black Wall Street platform as in HB bill 27 [October 14,
2009] SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 432?
4.a How would you describe your own working style with the political party you represent and
with the opposition party?
4.b What is the difference between a conservative and liberal?
5. If any, what one item do you agree with on President Donald Trump's agenda and what do you
disagree on?
6. If (re)elected, what is the first thing you would tackle in this office?
7. Why do candidates use the term “representing the middle class” as opposed to the lower income
persons?
8. Are you in favor of parity based on a geographical racial area in contract procurement and how
would you address parity?
9. Are you in favor of term limits or not? If so, for which offices?
10. Do you believe that the Obama Foundation should have a Community Benefits Agreement?
Thank you for taking the time to respond.

SOUTH AFRICA – Newly elected South African President
Cyril Ramaphosa has announced his intent to redistribute land,
now owned by white farmers. A November audit showed that
73% of farmland was still owned by whites, two decades after
the end of apartheid. A 1913 land act stripped most Black
South Africans of their rights to own land. (Similar to the laws
enacted by the Europeans upon the African and Native Indians
on this continent, denying access to the same resources, the reason
for continued generations of poverty.)

The Difference Between
Health and Wellness and How
Important Is It Really…
All it took was a few painful
ingrown toenails to knock me up side
my head to have me realize, while I
was a young tenderoine, I was not exempt
from experiencing the stress and
strain of being invincible.
Emotional wellness relates to understanding your feelings
and coping effectively with stress
Environmental wellness inspires us to live a lifestyle that is
respectful of our surroundings.
Financial Wellness involves the process of learning how to
successfully manage financial expenses.
Intellectual wellness involves having an open mind when
you encounter new ideas and continuing to expand your
knowledge.
Occupational wellness is about enjoying your occupational
endeavors and appreciating your contributions.
World Health Organization (WHO) defines
health as a state of complete
physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence
of disease or infirmity.
Three months before this slap-up side my head I landed this
awesome corporate Fitness gig in Manhattan, New York. The
freshman 15 melted into grown, sexy, and sassy in a matter of
weeks! My fall internship added value to my life, curriculum
credits, fitness membership, lockers, and laundry service.
Boom I had it going on! What put a red, bloody, swollen, sad
face, over my perks were my painful ingrown toe nails.
I found myself dreading the walk to work and then once I arrived
I would disappear behind the desk, sitting at the computer
station in a silent pain.
All I could think, is how could I make this go away. Bloody
toe nails stopped me from moving around and kept my mind
in a prison of pain. This sudden toe attack stunted my emotional,
occupational, physical, and social wellness. What I didn’t
know was that my wellness had been compromised.
How did my wellness get compromised and why does wellness
matter?
Physical wellness relates to maintaining a healthy body
and seeking care when needed.
Social wellness helps you perform social roles effectively
and comfortably, and create a support network.
Spiritual wellness allows you to develop a set of values
that help you seek meaning and purpose.
It just so happened that my site host was promoting an employee
health and wellness fair and on the list was a Podiatrist.
Needless to say, I was the first person at his table the
morning of the fair and before I went home that evening me
and my nasty toenails limped over to the physician’s office to
be treated. He addressed my ingrown toe nails, by the following
week I was back to my invincible self!
As I reflect back I am almost sure I did not share my grownup
pain with my parents or co-works. I probability took on the
mentality that this was my cross to bear and it would get better
with hard prayer. I am almost sure I am not the only one
who has suffered through wrong thinking at some point in
time? The Good Book reads faith without works is dead, I
needed to seek out a physician but I sat for weeks and silently
suffered.
Wellness matters because everything we do and every emotion
we feel relates to our well-being. According to Pfizer,
wellness is the act of practicing healthy habits on a daily basis
to attain better physical and mental health outcomes, so instead
of just surviving, you’re thriving.
I went into to survival mode; the physical pain directly affected
my ability to perform my fitness internship which inturn
played on my emotions to be engaged in my daily work responsibility.
There are eight dimensions of wellness: occupational, emotional,
spiritual, environmental, financial, physical, social, and
intellectual. Each dimension of wellness is interrelated with
one another. Each dimension is equally vital in the pursuit of
optimum health.
As I have slightly matured and now parent a teenage boy, I
perform daily wellness assessments. I recommend you do the
same for yourself and those around you. Especially your children,
check-in with your child and their emotions. Get to
know who they are, talk to them, ask questions. Look through
their phones; see who and how they are talking and texting.
Suggest walks, active play, give lots of hugs and kisses, even
when they don’t want it.
Wellness is something that everyone needs but may not know
they need it. It is important for everyone to achieve optimal
wellness in order to subdue stress, reduce the risk of illness
and ensure positive interactions.

GENERAL PARKER
Today, General works tirelessly to
give back to his community and fight
the injustices that left him and his
counterparts with feelings of desperation
and loss of hope. He is President
of the Central Illinois Coalition of
Black Trade Unionists and has spoken
around the country on issues of
organizing labor and incarcerated
workers, fathers’ and noncustodial
parents’ issues, domestic violence,
housing and education reform. Twitter:
@gparker326 cicbtu@gmail.com
It’s a pleasure to connect with you and share with our readers, the
stellar organizational activities that you are currently involved with,
in Illinois. But, first tell the world what’s going on in Peoria, Illinois?
Did you grow up there and why is it your current stomping ground?
It’s always an honor and a privilege to speak with the Chicago Street
Journal. Yes, I was born in Peoria. I grew up for the most part in The Taft
Homes Housing Project. My first 20 years of life consisted of me being
reared in between Peoria, Detroit, and Chicago. The people down or out
West don’t understand my affinity for my hats and hard soled shoes.
I came back to Peoria in 2003 to regroup around the family, as I was going
through a bitter divorce and custody battle in St. Louis, MO. Little
did I know what a wild ride I was in for these next fifteen years. That is
when I started becoming more conscious of who I was and what the
world really thought about me and my people. I learned this system was
totally corrupt, from school boards all the way up to the White House. I
found out that it really doesn’t matter if or how good a person you are
and it doesn’t matter if you try and do right by people. It only matters if
you have money, connections or the right color. Sometimes all three.
I chose to stay here first of all to help care for my grandparents who have
since passed but also because my people were perishing for lack of
knowledge. Peoria has made 24/7 Wall Street’s list as one of the worst
cities for blacks to live for the past three years. They ranked 6 th , 1 st , and
2 nd respectively. The only reason they didn’t make first place this year is
because Eerie, PA had more unemployment this year. This year doesn’t
look at all promising either for us to get off that list.
Over the years, you’ve worked on many projects, but you’re currently
President of the Central Illinois Coalition of Black Trade Unionists.
What is its function and what do you hope to accomplish as the
President of this organization?
The Coalition of Black Trade Unionist (CBTU) is an organization that
was established in 1972 after the AFL-CIO refused to back a candidate in
the presidential race because Nixon was a Republican and McGovern
was talking about equal pay and rights for women and minorities so black
union members got together in Chicago that year and found their own
candidate and started the Coalition of Black Trade Unionist under founders
like William “Bill” Lucy who was the first president of CBTU and
remained there for 40 years and retired in 2012. Rev. Terrence Melvin of
the New York State’s AFL-CIO is the present and only other president
this organization has ever had.
The Objectives of CBTU are:
To improve economic development and employment opportunities for
black workers;
Increase union’s involvement in voter registration, voter education, voter
turnout;
Organize unorganized workers;
Inaugural Meeting of the Organization for Procedural Justice (OPJ)
Actively support civil rights and civic groups who are working to improve
conditions in the Black community; and
To increase effective political alliance by urging members to run for office.
Governmental or union seats.
I founded the Central Illinois Chapter with the goal of bringing Peoria,
Rockford, and Rock Island together to be a formidable force here in the
17 th Congressional District. I believe the power in this district, the largest
voting district outside of the Chicago area, should be more diverse and
it’s time to turn this state around especially in this area. Not just for
Blacks but for all minorities who are oppressed by this country’s and
state’s terrible reign of oppression, discrimination, racism, and terrorism
to improve the conditions to receive fair and equal education, healthcare,
political and economic opportunities.
“United Purpose. United Voice. United Power.” Those words, found
on the website of JustLeadershipUSA.org, give off some extraordinary
vibes. What is JLUSA and what is your role?
Just Leadership USA (JLUSA) is an organization founded by Mr. Glenn
Martin of New York City, a formerly incarcerated person who is all
about investing in the leadership of other formerly incarcerated people. In
New York City, that takes people who have been disabled by the system
for having a record, and trains them to be more effective leaders at their
jobs, especially if they are working to help end mass incarceration. I first
met Glenn a couple of years ago in Oakland, CA at the first National
Conference for Formerly Incarcerated and Convicted Persons and Family
Movement (FICPFM). That great feat was organized by Dorsey Nunn
and his staff at All Of Us Or None (AOUON) and Legal Services for
Prisoners with Children (LSPC). Glenn was one of the featured speakers.
Once I heard him speak I had to interview him for my Urban Intellectuals
organization. We went Facebook live and the page lit up that day. We
have our own website and page at www.urbanintellectuals.com but we
also have a Facebook page with over 1 million followers.
JLUSA works with formerly convicted leaders of other organizations and
shows them how to become better, more effective leaders. JLUSA exposes
me to a national community of like-minded leaders all working towards
#halfby2030 which allows me to work locally and have the ability
to tap into a network of advocates to share best practices. I was chosen,
along with thirty-five other individuals from around the country, as 2018
Leading with Conviction fellowship. My cohorts and I are the fourth
class and the best class might I add. My role is to learn what I can to become
a better leader so that I can help bring out the leadership in others
and to network with whomever I can to give and receive help from others
to accomplish my goal of ending mass incarceration. JLUSA has already
shown what's possible when you think and act boldly, with the
#CLOSErikers Campaign, teaching the rest of us what's possible locally.

CSJ’s Interview with General Parker

(Left) General Parker and African Americans Father's Rights advocate,
Kenneth Braswell. (Right) General Parker and MN. Rep.
Keith Ellison, while in Ferguson teaching a weekend class on how
In looking over your bio, I found that you are working on a project
to remove the “Exception Clause” from the 13th Amendment of the US
Constitution which allows “slavery or involuntary servitude” for those
convicted of a crime. Now, that’s some strong stuff. Can you break it
down for us?
When Abraham Lincoln signed Executive Order #95, the Emancipation
Proclamation, it gave people the illusion that slavery no longer existed in
America and had been outlawed. They even took this charade one step
further by Congress passing the 13 th Amendment (the one just ratified in
Mississippi in 2013) which stated “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude,
EXCEPT AS PUNISHMENT FOR CRIME WHEREOF THE
PARTY SHALL HAVE BEEN DULY CONVICTED, shall exist within
the United States or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
The injection of that “Exception Clause” meant slavery never went anywhere
and legalized slavery still existed here in the United States. All the
racist, politicians and greedy corporate (McDonalds, Sprint, Verizon,
Victoria Secrets, etc.) entities had to do was make sure laws were passed
that would make minorities, the poor and everyone not connected into
criminals thus granting them the benefit of free labor while they keep the
profits. Slavery!
I was appointed three years ago, along with Illinois State Senator, Mattie
Hunter, to be an advisor for the Organization on Procedural Justice
(OPJ) by the Hon. Judge Arthur Burnett who is the first black judge appointed
to the federal court for the District of Columbia. We had our inaugural
meeting on March 28, 2015, at Howard University in Washington,
DC. OPJ was founded by Dr. Merelyn Bates-Mims of Cincinnati,
OH. They co-chair this committee under the direction of the Southern
Ohio Diocese of the Episcopal Church. I’ve since become an Executive
Council member for OPJ. Me, a formerly incarcerated person on a committee
with Lawyers, judges, prosecutors, professors, ex-Army Colonels
and law students. Go figure!
You are also a public speaker, how can you be reached and is there
anything that you would like to add?
I would just like to add, that I love Chicago, except for its winters, and I
try to come here every chance I can get to help out wherever I can. I
spend a lot of time helping Dr. Phillip Jackson of the Black Star Project
by volunteering and mentoring whenever I can. Anybody out there reading
this, I just ask that you find the time to volunteer, tutor, mentor or
donate wherever you can. You may not think what you do matters but
trust me, every little bit helps. You never know who is watching, so continue
to plant those seeds of positivity and love for one another.
I fight for court reform, criminal justice reform, housing and education
reform, civil and human rights and first and foremost, the rights of noncustodial
parents to have a chance to be in their children’s lives. If people
wish to contact me the can go to gparker326@gmail.com or cicbtu@gmail.com

Christine Houston
From Chicago to 227.
Chicago Street Journal
February March 2018 2017

CSJ loves interviewing folks from Chicago. We’re sure that
your Parker High School classmates are still excited about your
success. Did any of this take you by surprise? Did you even imagine
the success of Two Twenty-Seven, as you worked on the
play, while still a student at Kennedy-King College?
I wrote the play Two Twenty-Seven on a challenge by my fellow
classmates. They were going to attend a spring conference,
representing Kennedy-King College (KKC), that was
being held at a university in Texas. Having won awards in
every theater category except playwriting, they were desperate
to win that award.
When asked what my major was, I lied and told them Journalism.
After all, I was a 42-year-old wife and mother of
three teenage boys and couldn’t bring myself to the point of
telling them I was there because of my secret ambition to acquire
the lead role in a theater production. At that time, KKC
had a reputation for having the best theater program in Illinois.
After several days of being pressured, I decided to accept the
challenge, thinking the play wouldn’t win anyway since I had
no idea how to write a play, despite
all the English and writing
classes I had taken. To my surprise,
the play took first place
in the contest. I titled the play,
Two Twenty-Seven, my address
growing up in Chicago. Several
months later, the play was entered
(by the college) into the
Norman Lear and the Lorraine
Hansberry playwriting contests,
where it won first place in the
Norman Lear and second place
in the Lorraine Hansberry. The
committee agreed that Two
Twenty-Seven really should get first place in the Lorraine
Hansberry, too, but decided that since the contests were sponsored
by the American College Festival, another student
should be encouraged. That same year, I graduated, receiving
an AA in Theater Technology and was off to Hollywood.
As you well know, opportunities to work in the entertainment
industry is growing phenomenally in Chi-Town, so your latest
book is indeed very timely. Tell us a little bit about The Screenwriter’s
Guidebook: Inspiring Lessons for Film and Television
Writers.
After several years of writing on various television shows
produced by Norman Lear and finally seeing my play become
NBC’s hit series titled 227, I returned to Chicago to
care for my ailing mother. I soon realized it would be a while
before I could return to LA and continue launching a career
writing for television. After eight years, my mother made her
transition and I prepared to return to Hollywood, only to
learn that my husband of 35 years had dementia. While caring
for him, I returned to school, enrolling at Chicago State
University and in 2006, at the age of 70, I received a BA in
Communications. Two years later, I was asked to teach Writing
For Television and collaborated with Dr. Christine List to
pen The Screenwriter’s Guidebook: Inspiring Lessons for
Film and Television Writers.
Being a successful writer, would you share with us, what we
should say to our young people regarding the importance of
reading and how it affects their success in TV and movies?
Despite its popularity and the fact that many people think
math is the most important subject, I can’t recall engaging in
any other field of learning without the ability to read and
write. It has been proven; when the ability to communicate
through speech is almost impossible, writing serves as a viable
alternative.
Can you give us a little inside scoop on what it is like to be a staff
writer for a TV series?
The job of a staff writer is viewed as OBJ (on the job training)
that can lead to the top position, executive producer or
showrunner. The showrunner is responsible for hiring and
overseeing every aspect of producing a weekly television series.
The staff writer assists in the revisions of every page of
every script written by the collective writers of the show. Although
rare during the first season of tenure, the staff writer
may also pitch an idea and after acceptance, write and receive
credit for that episode.
You’re working on a screenplay based on your first novel,
Laughing Through The Tears. Would you tell us a little bit about
the book?
After graduating from Chicago State, I documented my experiences
caring for my husband who had been diagnosed with
dementia. Laughing Through The Tears is a culmination of
my personal experiences. It was published in 2013. AARP
sponsored a book signing and purchased 350 books and gave
them away to all who attended the signing. I am now working
on a television pilot based on the book.
“It isn’t over ‘til it’s over.” Those are your words. Share the
meaning with our readers.
It is a well-known cliché that I believe in. Your purpose here
on this planet has not been fulfilled until you take your last
breath, hence, “It isn’t over ‘til it’s over.”
