The singer and songwriter Betty Wright, who has died of cancer aged 66, occupied a significant position in African-American music across six decades, beginning with pow-erhouse gospel in the 1950s and settling on an R&B, soul and funk groove from the 60s onwards that eventually led to work with superstar rappers of the 2000s. Wright’s career began as a young child in a gospel group in Florida, and her signa-ture song, Clean Up Woman

(1971), was recorded when she was only 17, epitomis-ing what became known as “the Miami sound” – Florid-ian soul music shaped by the many facets of her home city’s cultural melange. After years of solid achieve-ment in the US as a singer and songwriter, in the mid-80s she set up her own record label and, although she continued to record her own material, began to make a new name

The Legacy of a Pivotal Community Leader: Dr. E. Abdulmu’min Will Truly Be Missed

Part of Leaving Your Legacy is Taking the BurdenOff of Your Loved Ones

Edited By Naomi Bonman via CAIR-Greater Los Angeles

See "The Legacy..." page 6

On Monday, May 18, 2020, the community lost one of its pivotal leaders, Dr. E. Abdulmu’min. He was also a was a pillar of the American Muslim community in the In-land Empire. “My father Dr. Abdulmumin was something to everyone. He was a pillar to his commu-nity, always giving to others, a mentor and a father figure to many,” Rabyya Abdulmumin,

daughter of the late Dr. Abdul-mumin stated. “He always had a smile on his face, he laughed and made others laugh. He more than anything loved Ra-madan. For as far my memory goes back my dad spent every Ramadan feeding others. He spent every Ramadan night at the front row praying taraweh prayer. May Allah reward him for his good deeds and give him the highest level of Jan-

nah.” In 2000, Dr. Abdulmumin es-tablished the DuBois Institute which specialized in nurturing and empowering youth and families, especially within the underserved African Ameri-can community in Riverside’s Eastside community. Dr. Abdulmumin was a Li-censed Clinical Psychologist and professor with more than 35 years of university teach-

RIVERSIDE, CA---- CO-VID19 has taken a toll on our World in several different ways; from economics to fam-ilies not able to say their final and proper good-byes to loved ones lost during this time due to the limit of how many peo-ple can attend funeral servic-es. Speaking of funeral servic-es, how prepared are you for when that times comes? Will your family be able to bury

with a peace of mind knowing that everything for a suitable memorial is covered? Some will say, “Yes, of course!”, many will say no, and some will say that they have life insurance, so doesn’t that cover funeral expenses? While Life insurance is great, it is different from pre-need insurance. Life insurance is for the living, while pre-need is for those who have passed.

Life insurance seeks to give a degree of coverage and peace of mind for survivors of the insured; it is perpetual mean-ing that as long as you are alive you pay life insurance. FEP Consultants helps clients to understand the difference between the two. Once clients know how life insurance and pre-need differs, FEP Consul-tants guides them in setting and locking in their desires on

how they would like their life to be celebrated. For example, pre-need identifies crema-tion and burial. All that de-termines the casket, flowers, hearse, mortuary, embalming and more. The purpose of pre-need is to create peace know-ing that all of your wishes are accounted for. “I sleep much better know-

ing experience and working with youth and adults in the community, educational, men-tal health and juvenile/crimi-nal justice settings. He was a compassionate, respected, and loved servant leader within the African American, Muslim, and larger communities.

California, we need to stay home to save lives!If we do not stay home, the spread of COVID-19 will get worse. We will get through this together by stay-ing away from each other. We should only leave our homes to get food, get necessary health care, or go to an essential job. Always use social distancing when going out by staying six feet away from everyone. Go to covid19-dot-c-a-dot-gov for the latest updates you need during this time.This public health emergency has taught us that it is never too soon to be prepared. If this pandemic has taught us anything is that, we have to be prepared. And, we have all learned the value of storing a little extra food and supplies at home in advance, to take care of our needs.Don't get caught by surprise again. Use your time at home to get ready for other disasters, like a wildfire, earthquake and flood. Get ready today by taking these easy and free steps:● Get official alerts to know what to do – Sign up to receive regional alerts should a natural disaster or other emergency situation arise in your area. If you work in one county, but you live in another, you can sign up for both. Visit http://calalerts.org/● Make a plan to protect your people – Think about who you want to connect with during an emergency. These may be family, neighbors, friends or caregivers. Who do you want to protect? Who wants to protect you? Write down their names and contact information on any clean sheet of paper. Include home, work, school and other numbers. Share copies with everyone on your list.● Pack a go-bag with things you need – You can never be too prepared for a disaster. Pack a go bag with things you need. Include copies of IDs and insurance, a map of area evacuation routes and a list of your prescriptions and doctors. This will help save time should you need to leave your home, like in response to a wildfire.● Pack a stay box – With supplies for when you can’t leave - You’ve already learned what food and other things you need for at least two weeks at home during a pandemic. With other disasters like earthquakes, you might lose electricity or water and need a portable radio, flashlights and batteries, drinkable water and a first aid kit.Consider what other items you may need for yourself and others during this time, from the basics, essen-tials, to caring for your pets. ● Help friends and neighbors – Talk about your emergency plans with loved ones and encourage them to do the same. Reach out and connect via an email, make a phone call, or send a text message to encourage those around you, to use this time to give some thought to and prepare for other possible disasters.We’ve learned from COVID-19 how important it is to be ready for any disaster. And, we know that wild-fires, earthquakes and floods can still strike at any time. We can all get better prepared today for whatever may come tomorrow.

Aguilar Votes to Provide Additional Coronavirus Funding for Inland Empire Residents and

First Responders House of Representa-tives passed the Heroes Act, a bill to provide re-lief to first responders, frontline workers and Americans affected by the spread and economic effects of the coronavi-rus crisis. The bill in-cludes nearly $1 trillion for state, local, territorial and tribal governments to ensure first responders, police officers, teachers, and other key municipal and frontline workers avoid pay cuts or layoffs. The bill also establishes a Heroes' Fund of $200

billion to give hazard pay to frontline work-ers, provides additional stimulus payments of up to $6,000 per family, and funds an additional $75 billion for coronavirus testing, treatment and prevention efforts. If the bill is enacted, the most recent estimates indicate that cities within Califor-nia's 31st Congressional District and the County of San Bernardino would be eligible for over $1.9 billion in combined fed-eral funding over the next two years, with the following individual al-locations: (view the chart at www.wssnews.com). "As a former mayor, I know firsthand how our communities are suf-fering as a result of the damage this virus has

done to local economies. The Heroes Act ensures that our first responders and frontline workers won't go unpaid while they work to keep our community safe and pro-vides additional relief to help Inland Empire resi-dents meet the economic hardship our region is facing. I was proud to vote for this bill because San Bernardino County residents cannot afford to wait any longer for Congress to step up and provide solutions to this crisis," said Rep. Agui-lar. Rep. Aguilar serves as the Vice Chair of the House Appropriations Committee, the commit-tee responsible for allo-cating federal funding.

Foundation Seeks Support for Meals for Seniors Program REDLANDS, CA----- As the Covid-19 pandemic continues, the City of Redlands Senior Services Divi-sion has teamed with the Redlands Community Foundation to establish a "Meals for Seniors Fund."

To date more than $3,000 has been raised, which has provided 500 meals to Redlands low-income seniors who are at high risk and are unable to leave their homes. Additional financial support is still needed

to continue to provide support for the senior meals program. Dona-tions collected are used to provide a Meals on Wheels service with Se-nior Services Division employees and volun-teers delivering lunch and providing a daily

welfare check-in Mon-day through Friday. Every $30 donation provides meals for one senior citizen for a week. A separate supplemental package including food and sanitation supplies is also available for pickup at the senior center.

Donations to the Meals for Seniors fund may be made on line at: https://c h a r i t y . g o f u n d m e .com/o/en/campaign/meals-for-seniors1/red-landscommunityfou. Donations may also be made payable to the Redlands Community

Car Caravan Protest Raises Awareness About Deadly COVID-19 Outbreaks in Two California State Prisons

CHINO, CA--- Fam-ily members and advo-cates will gather at a "Car Caravan Protest" on Saturday, May 23, 2020 at 12:00 pm at the California Institution for Men (CIM), then drive to nearby California Institution for Women (CIW), to highlight on-going COVID-19 out-breaks at both prisons and to call for the com-passionate release of incarcerated people in response to the deadly epidemic. Over the past week, CDCR has reported an explosion of cases at both overcrowded pris-ons: 398 new infections and five preventable COVID-19 deaths at CIM (112% population capacity) and a develop-ing crisis at nearby CIW (110% capacity), where

more than 60 people have been informed of their positive statuses and hundreds more await their results. Advocates and family members who organized the car caravan are call-ing for the expedited release of incarcerated people vulnerable to COVID-19, beginning with those age 50 or older and people with underlying medical is-sues, regardless of con-viction type; testing for all incarcerated people that want one, as well as mandatory, daily testing for all staff entering the facilities; better protec-tive equipment for all people in the facilities; better sanitation practic-es, through means other than compelling people

Proven treatment foropioidaddiction starts here. Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) is the use of FDA-approved medications for the treatment of addiction to Fentanyl, heroin, opioid painkiller and other prescription pills. When coupled with counseling, MAT treats the whole patient and significantly reduces the rate of relapse. Medi-Cal, Medicare and many private insurance plans cover MAT. You can get MAT through a primary care doctor, licensed narcotic treatment programs, outpatient treatment programs, or licensed residential treatment facilities.

During the Coronavirus pandemic, MAT is also available through virtual care options, such as telephone, live video, audio, messaging, and other digital tools.

Outbreak of Covid-19 at CIW After Prison Officials Ignored Calls for Prevention

CHINO, CA---- On May 13th, CDCR re-leased a statement iden-tifying a new outbreak of Covid-19 at the Cali-fornia Institution for Women (CIW) in Chino, California. Less than five miles away, at the California Institution for Men (CIM), the dis-

ease has swept through the population, with 398 confirmed cases and at least five deaths. While CDCR has yet to release the num-ber of new cases in the women's prison, advo-cates at the California Coalition for Women Prisoners (CCWP) have

heard from incarcerated individuals that more than 50 individuals have been made aware of their positive statuses, as hundreds more wait to hear their results. One incarcerated individual who tested positive stat-ed: "Almost my entire unit just tested positive.

Some of them are can-teen workers, kitchen workers, and workers who have been sewing masks. People who in-teract with everybody. We are terrified. This entire prison needs to be tested."

Outraged OverAhmaud and

Breonna? Channel That Energy into

a Vote As outrage, fear and angst bubble up in Geor-gia and, now, Kentucky over the grisly murders of Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor, one question fails to appear in the broader dialogue: How will these tragedies impact the 2020 elec-tions? We can’t do anything for “the culture” about either case if we’re not engaged in a targeted political strike on three Senate seats, helping Democrats retake the Senate and (just maybe), grabbing 24 electoral college votes that flip two Southern states from reliably red to blue in an end to the current White House madness.

To the novice politi-cal observer or those folks who detest poli-tics altogether, the ques-tion seems irrelevant. To some, it may seem off-putting, if not dis-respectful: “WTF you mean politics?”But, it’s very relevant. In fact, it absolutely determines the path and outcome of these cases, and where the rest of us end up in the meantime. Whether we accept it or not, the political dimen-sions are there, the very raw emotional elements in these conversations are already tipping off a general outcry for justice and retribution.

Hip-Hop Legend Warren G Treats SBVC Football Players Struggling During

Pandemic To Barbecue FeastBy Brian Robin via The San Bernardino Sun

SAN BERNARDINO – DeJuan Moon came back for seconds, heap-ing his foam clamshell container with chicken thighs, beef ribs, maca-

roni and cheese and baked beans. It would disappear into Moon's 6-foot-1, 190-pound frame as quick as it ap-peared.

And as soon as any of the items disappeared off the foil containers, more reappeared. Because no containers and no trays were allowed to stay

empty for long. And no San Bernardino Valley College football players were allowed to leave hungry.

for herself as a producer and songwriter, collabo-rating with the likes of Gloria Estefan and Joss Stone. Later still her ma-terial was much sampled – including by Beyoncé – and she was able to undertake projects with rappers such as Snoop Dogg and Lil Wayne. She was born in Miami, to Rosa (nee Braddy-Wright) and McArthur Norris. The infant Bes-sie – as Betty was chris-tened – was co-opted into the family gospel group, the Echoes of Joy, at the

age of two. The Echoes worked the Southern US gospel circuit and Bes-sie proved to be a vo-cal prodigy – so much so that by the time the group split in 1965, she was confident enough to start singing on her own, in a new R&B vein, and with a new name – Betty Wright. Willie Clarke and Clar-ence Reid, two Miami-based musicians, were so impressed by the young girl that they signed her to Deep City, the only African-

American record label in Florida. Wright’s de-but 45, Paralysed, was released in 1965, and it sold well locally. How-ever, Deep City lacked the resources to promote records properly, and so Reid and Clarke even-tually passed Wright on to Henry Stone, a dis-tributor with experience and contacts who was launching Alston Re-cords in Miami.

ing that Porsha will be available to present my heirs with my final wish-es for less than what I used to spend daily on Starbucks,” Veronica Lawrence, FEP client, explains. “No car wash or selling dinners for loved ones. They can mourn and celebrate my life without having to experience additional or unnecessary financial or emotional stress or hardship. Best decision I made.” FEP Consultants is the premier pre-need pro-vider for memorial and burial services. They help families to keep their dignity. One of the

most loving gifts you can give your loved ones is making arrangements in advanced. There is no need for car washes, selling dinner plates, creating GoFund Me accounts or just flat out begging. FEP Consul-tants can meet anyone’s budget; with them “no detail is too small”. “What encouraged me to get a policy was see-ing people holding signs asking for donations to bury a family member that had passed away,” Darryl Gross, FEP cli-ent, stated. “I couldn’t allow my family to go through such heartache and stress.”

Pre-need is completely transferrable, it goes whenever you go. Pre-need protects you from the negative effects of inflation by locking in the price of your ser-vice. It is customizable, allowing you to make changes according to the individual. Most impor-tantly, you pay pre-need off; life insurance you can’t pay off.

fear of retaliation said, "In early May, when we asked why guards were not wearing masks, the captain responded by saying it was not man-datory. As of now, it is mandatory and still

some guards are not wearing them." CIM has been the most severely affected by CO-VID-19 of all the prisons in the state, with an out-break raging inside since early April.

Since mid-March, ad-vocates have been de-manding action to pre-vent an outbreak at CIW. In letters to prison and state officials, CCWP exposed dangerous con-ditions at CIW, including a lack of access to pro-tective and preventive supplies and a blatant disregard by prison staff of CDCR's own poli-cies. Further, the state refused to listen to advo-cates and public health experts who warned that the only way to prevent outbreaks in prison is to reduce population density by expediting releases, especially for those at highest risk of the deadly effects of Co-

vid-19. While CDCR claims it instructed prisons to "conduct additional deep-cleaning efforts in high-traffic, high-volume areas" and to institute social distanc-ing practices "wherever possible,” incarcerated people indicate that CIW staff failed to implement such policies and that social distancing is im-possible in prison. In California's overcrowd-ed prisons, all spaces are high-traffic areas, but people report that not even the showers at CIW are being regularly cleaned or disinfected. Similarly, while guards were instructed to wear

masks and social dis-tance, CCWP continues to receive reports of guards refusing to ad-here to these policies. The devastating, need-less deaths at CIM pres-ent a dire warning for prison administration and the State of Cali-fornia. The state must expedite release for vul-nerable populations. At the same time, elected officials must ensure that CDCR goes beyond ad-vertising preventative measures and actually implements meaningful, life-saving policies, in-cluding widespread test-ing.

Outbreak of Covid-19 at CIW After Prison Officials Ignored

Calls for Prevention

"Take more. We've got plenty," boomed a famil-iar voice from behind a large barbecue trailer.The voice, along with the barbecue trailer attached to a pickup, belonged to rapper Warren Griffin III — better known as War-ren G — who spent his Saturday afternoon feed-ing SBVC football play-ers the best meal most of them had since the coro-

navirus pandemic shut the world down. For at least one day, one of the architects behind the hip-hop masterpiece "Regulate" was going to eliminate the hunger of college students – some of whom were marooned thousands of miles away from home. Griffin heard about the situation from SBVC as-sistant coach Merle Cole

Jr., the former Long Beach Poly mainstay and mentor to the likes of former Jackrabbits football standouts Leon-ard Russell, Hershel Dennis, Chris Lewis, DeSean Jackson and Darrell Rideaux, among hundreds of others. Grif-fin and Cole go back more than 30 years and talk every week.
