December 3, 2018 by nytimes Leave a Comment

Sections SEARCH Skip to content Skip to site index Politics Log In Subscribe Log In Today’s Paper Politics | Bush Made Willie Horton an Issue, and for African-Americans, the Scars Are Still Fresh Supported by ByPeter Baker Dec. 3, 2018 WASHINGTON — The tributes to former President George Bush in recent days have focused on his essential decency and civility, and his embrace of others, including even his onetime opponents. But the “last gentleman,” as he has been called, was not always so gentle. Mr. Bush’s successful campaign for the presidency in 1988 was marked in part by the racially charged politics of crime that continues to reverberate to this day. The Willie Horton episode and the political advertising that came to epitomize it remain among the most controversial chapters in modern politics, a precursor to campaigns to come and a decisive force that influenced criminal justice … [Read more...] about Bush Made Willie Horton an Issue, and for African-Americans, the Scars Are Still Fresh

Jessica Guynn USA TODAY Published 6:55 PM EDT Oct 17, 2018 SAN FRANCISCO – A Facebook advertisement celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month from a health insurance company. A professional women's club showcasing black dolls so children can see "beautiful reflections of themselves." Prostate cancer screenings for African-American men in Colorado and cervical cancer screenings for Hispanic women in Ohio. A pledge in Spanish for fast loan pre-approval from a mortgage company. Dozens of advertisements removed from Facebook for being political ahead of the November midterm elections did not appear to express any political view, a USA TODAY analysis showed. The Facebook ads from businesses, universities, nonprofits and other organizations did seem to have something in common: They mentioned "African-American," "Latino," "Hispanic," "Mexican," "women," "LGBT" or were written in Spanish. Even offers of free delivery from Chipotle Mexican … [Read more...] about Facebook labels African-American, Hispanic, Mexican ads as political

Campaign Launched To Encourage African Americans To Participate In Clinical Trials

September 14, 2018 by baltimoretimes-online Leave a Comment

Due to stigmas such as being treated as “experimental guinea pigs,” few African-American patients are willing to look at clinical trials as an option for care. Dr. Adam Metwalli, Chief of the Division of Urology, Department of Surgery at Howard University Hospital in Washington, D.C. says that currently less than five percent of cancer patients overall participate in clinical trials, primarily because they lack awareness. In August, Advancing Cancer Treatment (ACT) launched an effort, which seeks to change this disparaging statistic. ACT is raising awareness among newly-diagnosed African American cancer patients that clinical trials may be the first-line option, and not the last resort. ACT is a philanthropic initiative that supports patients’ access to the best in modern cancer treatments. With ACT Leadership Awards, the organization recognizes doctors and other medical professionals who help patients access the best treatment options in modern cancer care through … [Read more...] about Campaign Launched To Encourage African Americans To Participate In Clinical Trials

August 28, 2018 by upbeacon Leave a Comment

Lamon said he didn't know as much about the singer as his mother, but he knew how important she was to his family.The music icon was transported to the museum in a vintage white LaSalle, passing by hundreds of mourning fans, and more than 200 of them slept outside overnight in order to pay their final respects to her.Paula Marie Seniors, associate professor of Africana Studies at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, said the setting for public viewings of the superstar entertainer couldn't be more fitting.Franklin, who died earlier this month at 76 after a battle with cancer, is wearing the vibrant color to indicate her honorary membership in the predominantly African American sorority Delta Sigma Theta.

August 28, 2018 by knoxfocus Leave a Comment

September is dedicated to raising awareness about the disease NASHVILLE – One in nine American men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer, which is the second leading cause of cancer death and the most commonly diagnosed. In 2018, nearly 165,000 new cases of prostate cancer are expected in the United States with nearly 3,000 of those in Tennessee.  That is forecasted to result in nearly 30,000 lives lost to prostate cancer across the country and 550 across the state. Among those statistics, one in six African American men will develop the disease in his lifetime, which is almost two times the rate of white males.  African American men are also 2.3 times as likely to die from the disease. “Finding prostate cancer at an early stage gives patients the best hope for effective treatment and to live cancer free,” Mike Leventhal, executive director of Tennessee Men’s Health Network. “That is why it is crucial for Tennesseans to know about and understand … [Read more...] about African American men hardest hit by prostate cancer
