We must know fromwhere we've come in order toknow how to manage ourfuture. We can't keep goingwithout setting goals for ourselves. That would stop usfrom making the same mistakes we made in the past. Ifind myself listening to theNorth Carolina lieutenantIf there's anyone concerned about how awardwinning New York Times investigative journalist,Nicole Hannah-Jones, recipient of the prestigiousMacArthur Fellowship "Genius Grant" is doingamid the growing controversy over how she's beentreated by UNC-Chapel Hill after being hired for aheralded position at its journalism school withoutthe benefit of tenure, she says, "Don't." "I have beenoverwhelmed by all of the support you all haveshown me," Hannah-Jones tweeted under her alias,"Ida Bae Wells," May 20, 2021. "It has truly fortifiedmy spirit and my resolve. You all know that I will [be]OK, but this fight is bigger than me, and I will try mybest not to let you down."It is that feisty, defiant, intellectual spirit forwhich the heralded Black journalist is known, especially after being targeted by political conservativesand contrarian historians for her keenly researched,long-form Pultizer Prize winning New York TimesMagazine series, "The 1619 Project," which tells thestory of how slavery was so vital to the founding ofwhat would eventually become the United States ofAmerica over 400 years ago when people of Africandescent were first brought to these shores.The narrative profoundly contradicts the morepopular adage that the nation was formally foundedin 1776 when colonists declared their independencefrom England in search of freedom, thus downplaying slavery as the institution with which colonistsbuilt a powerful economy.However, maintaining the 1776 narrative hasproven to be the main mission of those likeRepublican former Pres. Donald Trump, RepublicanU. S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (KY)and N. C. U.S. Sen. Thom Tillis, who have opposedHannah-Jones, accusing her of "Marxist" antiAmerican rhetoric, and chiding the New YorkTimes for giving her the prime platform with whichPlease seeBRUNSWICK/Page 2TOADVERTISE OR SUBSCRIBE,CALL(910) 762-5502to disseminate it, especially to American students."Americans do not want their tax dollars divertedfrom promoting the principles that unite our nationtowards promoting radical ideologies meant todivide us," Tillis wrote to a constituent in a May 21letter.And there lies what's at the heart of the UNCChapel Hill versus Hannah-Jones tenure controversy, observers say.As first reported by NC Policy Watch severalweeks ago, Hannah-Jones was hired by UNC-ChapelHill's Hussman School of Journalism and Media(from which Hannah-Jones earned her master'sdegree in 2003) to be the Knight Chair in Race andInvestigative Journalism. Her journalisticbonafides, by all accounts, exceeded the requirements.Hannah-Jones previously reported for the RaleighNews and Observer for several years before going toThe Oregonian in Portland and then Pro Publica inNew York. Her reporting gained prime notice andapplause at the New York Times Magazine, whereshe focused on social justice issues before overseeingThe 1619 Project.When Hannah-Jones was hired by UNC'sHussman School, Dean Susam King said in April,"Giving back is part of Nikole's DNA, and now one ofthe most respected investigative journalists inAmerica will be working with our students on projects that will move their careers forward and ignitecritically important conversations."Still conservatives close to the UNC Board ofTrustees reportedly weren't having it, especiallywhen tenure, as approved by the faculty tenure committee and normally rubber stamped by the UNCChapel Hill Board of Trustees, was part of the hiringpackage for Hannah-Jones. Shortly after it wasannounced that Hannah-Jones was coming to UNCChapel Hill, pressure was brought to bear on theHussman School to eliminate the tenure offer, a lifetime appointment, changing it to just a five year contract with the possibility of tenure at the end.For example, Shannon Watkins, of the conservative James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal(formerly the Pope Center) called Hannah-Jones an"activist-scholar."The two previous Knight Chairs, sponsored by theKnight Foundation of Knight -Ridder Newspapers,have been hired with tenure. The fact that HannahJones was an outspoken Black female professionaldid not escape anyone in how she was being treated,and the reaction from UNC faculty, students, and colleagues was strong."As Hussman School of Journalism and Mediafaculty, we are stunned at the failure to award tenureto Nikole Hannah-Jones, a Pulitzer Prize, Peabody,and MacArthur Foundation "Genius Grant" winnerand UNC-Chapel Hill 2019 Distinguished Alumna,recently inducted into the North Carolina Media andJournalism Hall of Fame," they wrote in a May 19open letter."We demand explanations from the University'sleadership at all levels," the faculty latter continued."Nikole Hannah-Jones does necessary and transformative work on America's racial history."The UNC Board of Trustees is seen as having thefinal word on the Hannah-Jones hiring and tenureissue.UNC student leaders wrote an open letter toHannah-Jones, which said in part, " We are frustrated and disappointed that our university, theflagship institution of the UNC System, hasfailed not only you, an outstanding alumna, butits students, its faculty, its community as awhole "Protesters with signs interrupted the May 20 UNCBoard of Trustees' meeting under threat of arrest.The Carolina Black Caucus also issued a letterdeclaring "We stand in protest."Lamar Richards, UNC-Chapel Hill student bodypresident, who also sits on the UNC-Chapel HillBoard, wrote an open letter chastising his colleaguesfor not taking the matter up in a vote thus far.Richards urged them to do so.The Wilmington Journal is still partially operating from a remote area.Our building has much damage and some of our equipment is still inoperable.Please continue to bear with us as we work to return to normalcy.Thhe Staff and Management of Thhe Wiilmiington JournalVISITUS ATWWW.WILMINGTONJOURNAL.COM

DR. WILLIAM BARBER,ASK U.S. JUSTICE DEPT.FOR FULL "PATTERN AND PRACTICE"PROBE IN ELIZABETH CITYBY CASH MICHAELSOF THE WILMINGTON JOURNALThe FBI is already inElizabeth City, conducting afederal civil rights investigation into the April 21,2021 Pasquotank CountySheriff's Dept. fatal shooting of Andrew Brown, Jr.However, the heads of theNC NAACP, the PasquotankCountyNAACP,andRepairers of the Breach arenow also petitioning USAttorney General MerrickB.Garland,DeputyAttorney General LisaMonaco, and AssociateAttorney General VanitaGupta to conduct a "patternand practice" probe of boththe Pasquotank CountySheriff's Dept. and thePasquotankCountyDistrict Attorney's Office," to address the crisis oftrust and the legitimatecalls for accountability andchange boiling over inElizabeth City, PasquotankCounty, and the surrounding jurisdictions, as well asto identify and help rectifysystemic deficiencies whichcontribute to misconductand enable it to persist."The civil rights leadersare requesting the federalprobe via a May 24 letter tothe U. S. Dept. of Justice,which is also signed by several hundred citizens ofPasquotank County.The Reverend Dr. T.Anthony Spearman, president of the NC NACCP; Rev.Dr. William J. Barber, II,president of Repairers ofthe Breach and co-chair ofthePoorPeople'sCampaign;andKeithRivers, president of thePasquotank County Branchof the NAACP, spoke toreportersFridayinElizabeth City, and hadlocal citizens present sign apetition accompanying theletter."In the name of justice .Dr. King once said,'We are not satisfied,"Riverstoldreporters," and we won't be satisfieduntil justice rolls down likewater."The missive and pressconferencewereinresponse to the May 18pressconferencebyPasquotankCountyDistrict Attorney AndrewWomblewhereheannounced he would notcriminally charge the sevendeputies for fatally shooting Brown, 42, maintainingthat it was "justified"because the suspect allegedly used his car "as aweapon" when deputiesattempted to serve him witha felony arrest warrantwhile he was in his car infront of his house.Clips from police bodycams of the April 21 incident that Womble "displayed"showsBrownbehind the wheel of a BMWvehicle as the deputiesrolled up into his yard. Asthe deputies trained theirweapons on the vehicle anddemanded that Brown exitit, the BMW backed up, thenwent forward as shots ringout from three of the sevendeputies. The vehicle rolleda few feet away until itcrashed into a tree in another yard.When deputies reachedthe car with weapons stilldrawn and finally openedthe driver's side door, theydiscovered that AndrewBrown, Jr. had been shot inhis right arm and once inthe back of the head, the"kill shot."DistrictAttorneyWomble contended that thebodycam clips showed that,legally, Brown used his car"as a weapon" to fend offthe deputies and was "a perceived threat," but mostobservers, upon seeing theclips, believe that Brownwas fleeing from lawenforcement, and any con-tact made was by a deputytrying to stop the car physically.One of the Brown family'sattorneys,BakariSellers, disagreed withWomble on Twitter, tweeting, "Four officers didn'tshoot, didn't feel life was indanger."Because the shootingtook place in a residentialneighborhood, one of thefourteen bullets fired waslater found across the streetin a neighbor's house, andthere is a law enforcementpolicy about shooting at amovingvehicle.Pasquotank County SheriffTommy Wooten, II says thethree deputies who firedtheir weapons will keeptheir jobs but will be disciplined and retrained.Wooten also chided hisdeputies for not havingemergency medical services on standby and two ofhis deputies for not havingtheir body cameras on.However,AttorneySellers made clear, onbehalf of the family, thatthe killing of AndrewBrown, Jr. was unjust, andif they can't get criminaljustice, they will certainlyseek civil justice by way ofa lawsuit.Others, like 2022 U.S.Senate candidate CheriBeasley, have called for "aspecial prosecutor" to conduct "an independent investigation," calling D.A.Womble's decision "a stunning lack of transparency."At Friday's press conference, Spearman, Rivers,and Barber joined therhetorical fray, calling forthe federal "pattern andpractice" probe."How long will it takebefore those who are calledto uphold justice finallyuphold justice," NC NAACPpresident, The Reverend T.Anthony Spearman, rhetorically asked."We want [U.

I hope to celebrate herswearing-in later this year.If you’re thinking, “Did I miss something?” the answer isno, there is no vacancy on the Court right now.But there has been talk that Justice Stephen Breyer, who is82 years old, might step down after the current SupremeCourt term ends in June.Some activists and legal scholars are encouraging Breyerto step down now. That would give PresidentJoe Biden a chance to fulfill his campaignpromise to name a Black woman to the highcourt. And it would let a Biden nominee beconsidered by a Senate that is not controlled byRepublicans.Never forget that when Republican Sen.Mitch McConnell was majority leader, heabused his power to slow-walk PresidentBarack Obama’s judicial nominees. And herefused to allow the Senate to even considerBenObama’s Supreme Court nomination ofJealousMerrick Garland, leaving a seat vacant formore than a year.That same Sen. McConnell did everythinghe could to pack the courts with right-wing judges during theTrump administration—including a third Trump SupremeCourt justice who was rammed through the Senate just daysbefore voters turned Trump out of office. Those Trumpjudges threaten the legal legacy of the first Black person toserve on the Supreme Court, the brilliant Justice ThurgoodMarshall. And that threatens all of us.As a Marylander with deep roots in Baltimore, I am proudthat a native son of that great city was the first Black justiceon our country’s highest court. As a lifelong civil rightsactivist, I am grateful that a strategist for the civil rightsmovement was given the opportunity to advance equalityunder law as a Supreme Court justice. As a Black man andfather of Black children, I am thankful for the ways thatMarshall changed history. And I am deeply committed todefending those changes at a time when they are underattack.The threat to our lives, and to a multiracial, multiethnicdemocratic society, does not just come from violent whitesupremacists or abusive cops. It comes from Republicanpoliticians whose response to high Black voter turnout in2020 is to make it harder for many of us to vote. And it comesfrom judges who dismiss evidence of systemic racism anduphold voter suppression.What better time to have a powerful Black woman on thehigh court as a voice for truth and accountability?That is especially true now that another civil rights champion, the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, has left the court,and been replaced by a justice who does not share her values.We need someone to fill the shoes of both Marshall andGinsburg, two of the most transformative lawyers in ournation’s history.Fortunately, there are plenty of Black women who represent the values of the civil rights community and are ready toserve.Black women lawyers are fighting for civil rights every day.Black women scholars are expanding our understanding ofsystemic racism and its impact on all of us. Black womenstrategists are defending voting rights. Black women activistsare building coalitions and electing politicians who are committed to defending our rights and our communities.Candidate Joe Biden demonstrated his recognition of theimportance of Black women when he chose Sen. KamalaHarris as his running mate. And he excited many of us withhis promise to name a Black woman to the Supreme Court.The American people made Biden president and made Harristhe first woman, first Black person, and first Asian Americanto serve as vice president.I am looking forward to working with President Biden toconfirm to the Supreme Court a phenomenal Black womanwho will champion the values of freedom, justice, opportunity, and equality at a time when they urgently need champions.It will be a relief to see her take her seat. And it will be glorious.Ben Jealous serves as president of People For the AmericanWay and People For the American Way Foundation. Jealoushas decades of experience as a leader, coalition builder, campaigner for social justice and seasoned nonprofit executive.In 2008, he was chosen as the youngest-ever president andCEO of the NAACP. He is a graduate of Columbia Universityand Oxford, where he was a Rhodes Scholar, and he hastaught at Princeton and the University of Pennsylvania.MATTERS OF OPINIONThe Groundhog Effect(TriceEdneyWire.com)Ihavealwaysbeenamazed by the immediate, long-lasting impactof the media on cultural/current events. This is the casewiththe1993movie,Groundhog Day. Since itsrelease, people have discussedthe problem of being trappedin a metaphorical loop ofactivities from which theycannot escape. Even thosewho didn’t see the film arefamiliar with this theme.Viewing the news, I wasintroduced to the case ofRonaldGreenewhichoccurred in my home state ofLouisiana in 2019. Greenewas a forty-nine-year-oldBlack male who was broughtinto the Glenwood RegionalMedical Center EmergencyRoom by members of theLouisiana State HighwayPatrol. He was reported as theDOA victim of a single-carcollision between his automobile and a tree. Injuries fromhis “accident” were fatal. Theattending ER found this suspicious since in addition to hisbruised and broken body werefound the two prongs of apolice taser.For two years, LouisianaState Police authorities withheld the bodycam videos ofthe event from public view.The AP was able to obtainthese videos which disclosedanother vicious, extra-legalattack on a Black man. Theminimal damage to Greene’svehicle belied the excuse offatal injuries suffered in acrash.Axios reports that the following statements can beheard:Greene:(Afterbeingtasered inhis vehicle)“I’myourbrother! I’mscared! I’mscared!”T rooper:“ L o o k ,you’re goingto get itDr. E. Fayeagain if youWilliamsdon’tputyourf-----h a n d sbehind your back!”Trooper: (referring toGreene) “stupid motherf-ker.”Trooper (Hollingsworth):can be heard saying that he"beat the ever-living f--- out ofhim Choked him and everything else trying to get himunder control. He was spitting blood everywhere, andall of a sudden he just wentlimp.”The arrest of Greene isnow the subject of a federalcivil rights investigation.The refusal of the LSP torelease bodycam footage fortwo years and inconsistenciesin police reporting of eventssuggest cover-up. Accordingto AP, bodycam footage fromin-custody deaths is typicallyreleasedimmediately.Troopers on the scene of thearrest first claimed thatGreene died on impact aftercrashing his vehicle into atree during a chase.StatePolice later released a statement saying Greene struggledwith troopers and died on theway to the hospital. Footageshows Greene raising hishands and surrendering toofficers after crashing hisSUV and apologizing for leading them on the chase.After a two-year cover-up,there has been no justice forMr.Greene’sfamily.According to the AP, TrooperHollingsworth died in a single-vehicle crash hours afterlearning he would be firedover the Greene case. Twoother troopers remain, oneawaitingadministrativeaction.In an overview, we shouldbe reminded that the LSPmotto is: "Courtesy, Loyalty,Service!" with a commitmentto ensure the safety and security of the people in the statethrough enforcement, education, and providing of otheressential public safety services.Although Mr. Greene’seventprecededGeorgeFloyd’s, like Bill Murray inthe film, I, we continue towake up to a series of eventsthat result in the deaths ofBlack men and women. Theresponse of the administrators who are otherwiseexpected to render impartialjudgments regarding the propriety of conduct or the fitness of officers to objectivelyenforce the laws seems, inmany cases, to be turning theblind eye. As their psychopathic subordinates in thecase of Andrew Brown, Jr.,when dealing with persons ofcolor they likewise considercomplexion as a weapon, andno measure is too extreme inphysically controlling theseanimals of color.After all, who but a psychopath, would treat anotherHUMAN BEING with the brutality we have recently witnessed?Dr. E.
