Freedman's Village, Va.: The Nation's Safe Haven In 1863 the federal government built Freedman's Village on the grounds of the Custis and Lee estates. There were about 50 one-and-a-half-story houses, each of which was divided to accommodate two families. The settlement was home to some notable residents, including Sojourner Truth -- who in 1864 worked as a teacher and helped villagers find jobs. The government closed down the village in 1900. It is now the site of the southern end of Arlington National Cemetery, the Pentagon and the Navy Annex building.

Page 09 Davis Bend, Miss.: A Progressive Slave Town Davis Bend was a former plantation owned by Joseph Davis, who created a more self-governing community among his 350 slaves. Benjamin Montgomery, one of those slaves, served as the overseer. After the war, Davis sold the land on which his plantation was situated to Montgomery for $300,000 in gold; Montgomery maintained the free cooperative community until the 1880s. But the community fell victim to a poor economy and racial hostility. Montgomery's son, Isaiah, established a new town, Mound Bayou, which exists today.

Rosewood, Fla., established in 1870, was the site of what could be considered one of the worst race riots in U.S. history. By 1915 it was a small, predominantly black town with a population of just slightly more than 300. On New Year's Day in 1923, a young white woman claimed that a black man sexually assaulted her; Rosewood was destroyed by a band of white men supposedly searching for the alleged suspect. The number of those killed is still unknown.

Cap4Kids Hint of the Week
It looks like this Spring weather is going to continue right into the Spring. There are many studies in pediatrics that one of the most important activities for young children is unstructured play. Unstructured play is crucial for social, emotional and cognitive development. On the www.cap4kids.org/philadelphia website, under the After School/Camps/Mentoring handout (http://www.cap4kids.org/philadelphia/parent_handouts/after_school_camps_mentoring.html), you will find multiple listings of programs for play including Smith Memorial Playground and Playhouse (http://smithkidsplayplace.org/) with its 6 1/2 acres of open fields, 24,000 square foot playhouse and fantastic playground and giant wooden slide. Play awhile. It's crucial. ----- Coalition members! Activate ‘Your’ web link on The Coalition, Inc. web site -----

HEALTH MATTERS
Energy Drinks And Alcohol: A Dangerous Combo BlackDoctor.org) -- According to new research mixing energy drinks with alcohol is a dangerous combination. A new study, involving more than 4,000 students, has found that drinking cocktails of alcohol and energy drinks doubles the risk of clubbers getting hurt or being taken advantage of sexually. Energy drinks such as Red Bull, Irn-Bru 32 and Lucozade, often contain high levels of caffeine and other ingredients, and mixing them with alcohol has become a popular way of boosting energy levels in order to keep dancing all night. The researchers at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Centre in the United States, questioned 4,271 college students about their drinking habits and the consequences. It was found that of those who had drunk alcohol in the previous 30 days, a quarter (24 per cent) said they had consumed energy cocktails; when their behavior was compared with students who did not mix alcohol and energy drinks, the group were twice as likely to be hurt or injured after drinking, twice as likely to need medical attention and twice as likely to travel with a drunken driver. This group also faced double the risk of either taking sexual advantage of someone else, or being taken advantage of themselves. The cocktails also seemed to affect the amount they drank as in a typical drinking session, those on mixed drinks drank up to 36 per cent more than the other students and also reported twice as many episodes of weekly drunkenness. Dr Mary Claire O'Brien, lead researcher for the study, says they knew anecdotally that college students mix energy drinks and alcohol in order to drink more, and to drink longer. But Dr O'Brien says they were surprised that the risk of serious and potentially deadly consequences is so much higher for those who mix energy drinks with alcohol. According to Dr O'Brien mixing caffeine (a stimulant) with alcohol (a depressant) equates to "getting into a car and stepping on the gas pedal and the brake at the same time". She says students whose motor skills, visual reaction times, and judgment are impaired by alcohol may not perceive that they are intoxicated as readily when they're also ingesting a stimulant, as while the symptoms of drunkenness are reduced the drunkenness is not. Dr O'Brien says some energy drinks contain as much as 300 milligrams of caffeine and has called for students to be informed of the risks of mixing alcohol with energy drinks. Experts say there is currently very little information on the consequences of mixing alcohol with energy drinks and young people, need clear guidance on what impact different levels of drinking can have. Energy drinks often contain a mixture of ingredients, such as caffeine, vitamins and herbs and products such as guarana, ginseng and ginkgo biloba; many also have high levels of sugar to help boost energy levels. But caffeine remains the main energy-boosting ingredient, with an average energy-drink containing about the same amount as a small cup of coffee; about 65 per cent of energy-drink users are under the age of 35. There has been criticism over the potential health effects of drinking large amounts of caffeine and France has banned the sale of the popular Red Bull brand following the death of an 18-year-old who played basketball shortly after consuming several cans of the drink; an inquest ruled that he died from Sudden Adult Death Syndrome. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) limits caffeine to 65 milligrams per serving of a food or beverage but as energy drinks are currently not regulated by the FDA, they can contain as much as 300 milligrams of caffeine in a single serving. Dr O'Brien was speaking at the annual meeting of the American Public Health Association in Washington DC. By Candace Hall, BDO Staff Writer ----- Coalition members!

GREEN PIECE
5 Green Habits That Matter More Than Recycling by Matthew McDermott, Planet Green So, like every person trying to do their part to reduce their personal carbon emissions and make the most of the natural resources we all consume you recycle right? If you're an average Planet Green reader you probably do a bit more than the average US citizen who recycles about one third of the waste they produce, preventing about 1600 pounds of carbon being released into the atmosphere. That's a good thing, but do you want to do even more? Here are five things you can do which reduce your emissions as much or more than recycling: Drink Less Bottled Water = 2.6 Tons CO2 You've probably heard it dozens of times, you really should be avoiding bottled water. It uses figurative tons of resources to bottle and ship to you, and much of the time (at least in the developed world) is no more pure than the water coming out of your tap. Even if you regularly drink tap water there's probably some time when you've forgotten your water bottle, or the tap water isn't exactly palatable, whatever. So you reluctantly buy a bottle of water. But oh how fast those emissions add up! Even if you only do this once per month, over the year you've just emitted 2.6 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere. Twice as much as you've saved by recycling. So, really make the effort and reduce your bottled water consumption. Skip One Mid-Range Flight = 1 Ton CO2 I know that if you live in the United States your long range public transportation options aren't as diverse or convenient as some other places in the world, but in terms of reducing your personal carbon emissions reducing the amount you fly adds up quickly. Simply skipping one mid-range flight (say from New York City to St. Louis, Missouri) reduces your emissions as much as one full year of recycling, by about 1970 pounds per flight on that route. If you travel frequently for work, investigate other options such as video conferencing, and if you have family that live halfway across the country try to combine smaller trips into one longer one or simply go less frequently. You're serious about reducing your emissions, right? Go Vegetarian (or Vegan) = 1 to 2 Tons CO2 I know I say it all the time, but cutting meat out of your diet has a large impact on your lifestyle carbon emissions. And can lower your food bill by 20% to boot! The emissions and resources needed to raise animals for food are so much higher than for raising vegetables that by eating a lacto-ovo vegetarian diet you can save about one ton of carbon emissions each year compared to your carnivorous friends. Cut out eggs and cheese and save two tons per year. Wash Your Clothes in Cold Water & Air Dry Them = 1 Ton CO2 Another perennial favorite suggestion on Planet Green that really works: Wash in cold water and air dry. There are plenty of detergents now that work as well in cold water as they do in hot, and even in the middle of winter shirts dry in a couple of hours on an indoor drying rack (or in the case of my shirts, as I write this, on my shower curtain rod). How much will you save by a very slight tweak in your laundering routine? You guessed it: As much as recycling your paper, plastic and metal for an entire year. Sign Up For Green Power = 7 Tons CO2 Again, I've said this before but here's the one thing that is probably the quickest and most effective thing you can do to reduce your carbon emissions: Enroll in a green power program with your utility. While the exact electricity mix varies from state to state, based on the average mix in the United States, by choosing green power from your utility you can reduce you carbon emission by some 7 tons per year. And at the same time send a message to your utility that they better start investing in some more wind farms, because more and more people are committed to greening the national power supply. Yes, a few minutes and one phone call can reduce your personal carbon emissions seven times as much as recycling.

SpotLight On Our Efforts
Youth Engagement Conference Introduction The new endangered species is today’s Urban Youth. According to research, between the ages of 13 to 24 Philadelphia youth are most at risk of being killed by violence. School officials report that business professionals are researching the test scores of our elementary school students to determine how many prisons to build in the future. Latino and African American youth have 50 percent chance of graduating from high school. The prognosis for dropouts is prison, drugs and unemployment. The most rapidly growing youth incarceration rate is among females. The occurrence of flash mobs in Philadelphia have become more frequent (three in the past 12 months) and more and more violent. Our youth have been categorized as those “likely to kill or be killed.” The time is now to act and engage our youth. The 2012 Youth Engagement Conference is a vital initiative needed to change the tide of negative behaviors and outcomes.
Summary The 2012 Youth Engagement Conference is a youth focused initiative develop to provide a vehicle for youth to plan, develop and implement a strategic plan to address youth development, youth issues and youth initiatives. Youth are identified from the Equal Partners In Change (EPIC) EPIC Community Stakeholder group (Junior Stakeholders), Support Community Outreach Program (SCOP) and the Girl Track Mentoring program and other youth groups and organizations to participate in the planning and implementation. Funding and resources will be provided by the Department of Human Services and its community partners and sponsors. To facilitate a process that allows youth to develop, coordinate and implement an initiative focusing on youth interests, concerns, needs, issues and solutions. ----- Coalition members!
