Chan Zuckerberg Initiative Commits $5.8 Million to Advance Black and Latino Leadership in Education

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Dec. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) today announced $5.8 million in grants to three organizations working to accelerate diverse education leader pipelines by identifying, developing and supporting diverse education leaders. The grant recipients are: Education Leaders of Color, Latinos for Education and Surge Institute. These organizations aim to interrupt, and address the cultural, institutional, and structural barriers in education faced by historically underserved students and families.

«We envision a country where demographics, such as race and socioeconomic status, are not predictive of student outcomes and every student has equitable access to learning experiences that meet their unique academic and developmental needs,» said Sandra Liu Huang, head of education at the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. «We are proud to continue to partner with Education Leaders of Color, Latinos for Education and Surge Institute as part of that commitment. The work that these organizations are doing is critical to advancing equity in education.»

Through its community partnerships, CZI is helping create a future where diverse leaders in all aspects of education have the opportunities and skills to create solutions that address gaps in the education system.

Education Leaders of Color (EdLoc), a nonprofit membership organization, will receive $2 million to help attain their goal of increasing the number of effective, Black and Latino leaders in senior positions in education and adjacent fields. The grant will be used to recruit and develop leaders who will support a range of evidenced-based and equity-informed policy and practice work.

«EdLoC is thrilled that the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative has reaffirmed its commitment to EdLoC’s mission, even as we mourn the passing of our beloved CEO, Layla Avila,» said EdLoC interim CEO, Sharhonda Bossier. «Thanks to CZI’s support, our national network of leaders of color has grown tremendously. Today, we represent over 400 leaders of color across 40 states advancing a holistic third way in education that improves outcomes for Black and Brown children. CZI’s continued support helps ensure we can sustain our impact for children as we also work on shaping our future under new leadership.»

Latinos for Education (L4E), is a non-profit focused on cultivating and sustaining the pipeline of Latino leaders across the education sector–from the classroom to the boardroom. L4E will receive $1.9 million to accelerate leadership programming, mobilize leaders and communities, and grow their virtual community platform, EdCentro.

«Currently, 43% of Latino teachers leave the profession within 4 years due to inadequate support, lack of cultural competency from school leadership, and obstacles to advancing to leadership positions. Addressing this leadership gap is critical to improving educational outcomes, and we’re thankful to the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative for investing in the essential work to transform the education system and create pipelines for more Latino talent to enter the education sector,» said Amanda Fernández, CEO and co-founder of L4E. «This renewed investment by CZI provides us with the resources we need to continue our efforts to create leadership pathways for Latinos in education, and improve education equity for all.»

Surge Institute (Surge), a Chicago-based nonprofit, will receive $1.9 million  to address the shortage of leadership of color in educational institutions that predominantly serve children of color. Through its fellowship program, Surge connects, trains, and elevates transformative education leaders of color, partnering with school districts, nonprofits, universities, and other youth-serving organizations to build toward collective impact.

«Since 2015, we have trained just under 200 fellows in Chicago, Oakland, and Kansas City, whose leadership is impacting over 3.4 million students across the country,» said Carmita Semaan, Surge founder and president. «In 2020 we found ourselves evolving and elevating the way that we support these leaders. The support and partnership of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative have been invaluable to our efforts to bring brighter tomorrows for the millions of kids and families we serve. Positive change is happening in the education space and we are glad to have an ally in the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, who shares in our mission.»

Since the onset of the pandemic, CZI has committed more than $30 million to support teachers and students impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes grants to the HEARTS program at the University of California, San Francisco, Village of Wisdom, Kingmakers of Oakland,  Beloved Community, the National Parents Union, and additional support for teacher professional development and the expansion of broadband solutions.

CZI’s education work is focused on ensuring that every student can get an education that’s tailored to their individual needs and supports every aspect of their development. CZI envisions a country where demographics are not predictive of student outcomes and every child enters adulthood with the knowledge, skills, habits and agency they need to realize their full potential.

The Band’s Classic Third Album, ‘Stage Fright’, Celebrated With Remixed, Remastered And Expanded 50th Anniversary Edition Releases

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — By the time The Band was ready to record their third album, Stage Fright, in 1970, they were riding high from having released back-to-back albums that solidified them as one of the most exciting and revolutionary groups of the late 1960s. Seemingly coming from nowhere and everywhere in ’68, their landmark debut album, Music From Big Pink, drew from the American roots music panoply of country, blues, R&B,…

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — By the time The Band was ready to record their third album, Stage Fright, in 1970, they were riding high from having released back-to-back albums that solidified them as one of the most exciting and revolutionary groups of the late 1960s. Seemingly coming from nowhere and everywhere in ’68, their landmark debut album, Music From Big Pink, drew from the American roots music panoply of country, blues, R&B, gospel, soul, rockabilly, the honking tenor sax tradition, hymns, funeral dirges, brass band music, folk, and rock ‘n’ roll to forge a timeless new style that forever changed the course of popular music. When they released their seminal eponymous second album the following year, «The Brown Album» as it would lovingly be called, not much more was known about the reclusive group. The band, made up of four Canadians and one American, was still shrouded in mystery, allowing for listeners and the music press to let their imaginations run wild about who these men were and what this music was that sounded unlike anything else happening at the close of the psychedelic ’60s. Dressed like 19th century fire-and-brimstone preachers and singing rustic, sepia-toned songs about America and the deep south, The Band – Garth Hudson (keyboards, piano, horn), Levon Helm (drums, vocals, mandolin), Richard Manuel (keyboards, vocals, drums), Rick Danko (bass, vocals, fiddle) and Robbie Robertson (guitar, piano, vocals) – was an enigma, unlike any group that came before or after.

One of the few things known about the elusive band was that, along with neighbor and collaborator Bob Dylan, they called the rural artist community of Woodstock, NY home base, years before the sleepy town became a cultural flashpoint and shorthand for the emerging counterculture in the wake of the massive Woodstock Music & Arts Festival, held 40 miles southwest in Bethel, NY. The one band to actually hail from Woodstock, The Band famously played their second-ever show on the final day of the festival in front of nearly half a million people.

As a result of Woodstock, the small town became a Bohemian mecca of sorts and was overrun by the hordes of people it was now attracting. As a peace offering to their community, The Band rented out the Woodstock Playhouse to host a concert where they’d debut their new batch of songs they had been workshopping to their neighbors. Fearing that the show would only attract more outsiders and make matters worse it was turned down by the townsfolk. As a result, The Band ended up recording their next album on the playhouse stage, without an audience. Enter: Stage Fright.

On February 12, Capitol/UMe will celebrate the 50th anniversary of The Band’s classic third album, Stage Fright, with a suite of newly remixed, remastered and expanded 50th Anniversary Edition packages, including a multi-format Super Deluxe 2CD/Blu-ray/1LP/7-inch vinyl box set photo booklet; digital, 2CD, 180-gram black vinyl, and limited edition 180-gram color vinyl packages. All the Anniversary Edition releases were overseen by principal songwriter Robbie Robertson and boast a new stereo mix by Bob Clearmountain from the original multi-track masters. For the first time, the album is being presented in the originally planned song order. The box set, CD and digital configurations feature a bevy of unreleased recordings, including Live at the Royal Albert Hall, June 1971, a thrilling full concert captured in the midst of their European tour as the band was at the top of its game; alternate versions of «Strawberry Wine» and «Sleeping;» and seven unearthed field recordings, Calgary Hotel Recordings, 1970, a fun and loose, impromptu late night hotel jam session between Robertson, Danko and Manuel of several Stage Fright songs recorded while the album was in the mixing stage.  

Exclusively for the box set, Clearmountain has also created a new 5.1 surround mix and a hi-res stereo mix of the album, bonus tracks and the live show, presented on Blu-ray. All the new audio mixes have been mastered by Bob Ludwig at Gateway Mastering. The set also includes an exclusive reproduction of the Spanish pressing of The Band’s 1971 7-inch vinyl single for «Time To Kill» b/w «The Shape I’m In» in their new stereo mixes and a photo booklet with new notes by Robbie Robertson and touring photographer John Scheele, who recorded the Calgary Hotel Recordings; plus a reprinting of the original Los Angeles Times album review by famed critic Robert Hilburn; three classic photo lithographs; and a wealth of photographs from Scheele and several other photographers.

Pre-order for the Stage Fright 50th anniversary editions is available now and the first taste of the new mix can be heard with today’s release of «The Shape I’m In» (2020 Mix), streaming now and available for immediate download with digital album pre-order. Listen to «The Shape I’m In» and pre-order Stage Fright (50th Anniversary Edition): here: https://TheBand.lnk.to/StageFrightPR

As with the acclaimed 50th anniversary collections for Music From Big Pink and the self-titled record, Clearmountain and Robertson’s approach to remixing the beloved album was done with the utmost care and respect for the music and what The Band represents. «Doing new mixes on these songs with Bob Clearmountain has been a gift and special opportunity,» Robertson writes in the new liner notes. «Glyn Johns and Todd [Rundgren] did a terrific job on the original mixes in England while The Band was on the Festival Express train tour across Canada with Janis Joplin and the Grateful Dead. We had always been part of the mixing process before, which left something on this album feeling a little unfinished. Clearmountain has taken this music and given it the sonic lift it deserves. The album has become a whole new listening experience with the original song order and the depth of these mixes.» The result is a new mix that allows listeners to hear these timeless songs clearer than ever before. «There may be some purists that prefer ‘the way it was,’ and of course that’s always readily available,» adds Robertson. «I’m enjoying this new version, this story, this musical journey. It feels like a fulfillment and I know my brothers in The Band would definitely agree.»

In the spring of 1971, The Band set off to Europe where they hadn’t played since their tumultuous tour with Bob Dylan in 1966, where they were booed every night as the folk rock purists felt betrayed by Dylan who had gone electric, backed by The Hawks who would soon after become The Band. Not having played there in five years, the guys were understandably weary and didn’t know what to expect, but instead of boos they received a rapturous response at their first concert in Hamburg, Germany and would go on to play for one enthusiastic crowd after another. «Each member of The Band was on a musical high. Everybody playing and singing at the top of their game. Each night, from Amsterdam to Paris to Copenhagen, the spirit kept rising,» remarks Robertson. When it came to the band’s concert at London’s Royal Albert Hall, they wanted to document it so EMI taped it on a 4-track machine. For the first time ever, this concert recording is being released as Live At The Royal Albert Hall, 1971, an exhilarating 20-song set that captures the band firing on all cylinders and delivering rousing performances of songs from their then-recently released third album alongside their most popular tracks from Music From Big Pink and «The Brown Album» such as «The Weight,» «King Harvest (Has Surely Come),» «Up On Cripple Creek,» «The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down,» «Across The Great Divide,» «Chest Fever,» and inspired covers of Dylan’s «I Shall Be Released» and the Stevie Wonder-penned, Four Tops hit, «Loving You Is Sweeter Than Ever.» With the help of Clearmountain, these recordings have been restored nearly five decades later, allowing listeners to experience what Robertson call «One of the greatest live concerts The Band ever played.»

Whereas this electrifying concert showcases The Band playing as good as they ever did, The Calgary Hotel Recordings, 1970 offer a glimpse into a different kind of performance, the kind of fun, spur-of-the-moment jam sessions that were bound to happen whenever the guys were together in a hotel room or backstage on tour. As Robertson started to run through some of The Band’s new songs recently recorded for Stage Fright, photographer John Scheele, who was traveling with the group on the Festival Express, hit record on his portable cassette recorder and captured the spontaneous performance late at night on July 3, 1970 in Calgary, the last stop of the legendary tour. The field recordings, which feature Robertson on guitar and vocals with Danko harmonizing and playing rhythm and Manuel joining in on vocals and harmonica, are a fascinating document that lets fans hear the friends letting loose and having a good time together doing what they loved to do.

Released on August 17, 1970, Stage Fright features two of The Band’s best-known songs, «The Shape I’m In» and the title track, both of which showcased inspired lead vocal performances by Manuel and Danko, respectively and became staples in the group’s live shows. Recorded over 12 days on the stage of the Woodstock Playhouse, the album was self-produced by The Band for the first time and engineered and mixed by Todd Rundgren with additional mixing by Glyn Johns. Coming off the heels of the band’s monumental debut and sophomore records, Stage Fright cemented The Band as one of the most exciting and important musical acts of the ’60s and ’70s. As noted music critic Robert Hilburn wrote in his glowing review for the Los Angeles Times, «Like the first two albums, the new one features a staggering display of musical prowess – superb instrumentation, precise vocals and rich, timeless lyrics,» adding, «At least five of the songs, including ‘The Rumor,’ ‘Daniel and the Sacred Harp, ‘The Shape I’m In’ and ‘Time to Kill’ rank comfortably alongside ‘The Weight,’ The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down’ and a few others as the best things the group has ever done.» Stage Fright peaked at #5 on Billboard, surpassing The Band’s first two albums, and went gold. 

For the 50th Anniversary collection, the sequence has been changed to present Stage Fright with the originally planned song order. «On the album, we used a different sequence to feature and encourage Richard and Levon’s songwriting participation,» Robertson reveals. «Over time, I pined for our first song order, because it pulls you right into the Stage Fright scenario.»

Fifty years on, lifelong fans and those just discovering The Band can experience the album in a whole new way, sounding better than ever, or for the first time.

AUGUSTA, Ga., Dec. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Murphy Auto Group is proud to donate chest freezers to four local Golden Harvest Food Bank agencies to allow them to serve more healthy foods to more people than ever before. Since the beginning of the pandemic, food insecurity has risen in the community. On December 2nd, Julie Ferguson, the Corporate Developer Officer for GHFB, and Mrs. Sanders, the Director of Concerned Women – a food pantry and partner agency that has been around for 18 years, met at Bob Richards Nissan to pick up the freezer MAG donated. GHFB relies on this agency and others like it to identify those people in need for food within the CSRA community. «We have seen so much hunger since the pandemic, it has been a blessing to work with GHFB and other community partners like you, we are blessed,» said Mrs. Sanders to Rodney Carter, MAG Area President.

Mike Murphy stepped up to provide funding to meet the increased cost of the Food Bank and was the presenting sponsor of the Spooky to be Hungry event. This event raised a record $190,000, surpassing the goal of $100,000. Spooky to be Hungry is a food and funds competition that takes place all across Columbia, Richmond, and Aiken Counties. Teams are made up of neighborhoods, schools and businesses that compete to win based on the amount of food and money they raise for Golden Harvest Food Bank. Every pound of food is worth one point, and every dollar raised is worth four points. There were opportunities to get bonus points like getting your team registered early and so on, so the winners are often quite surprising. It’s a community-wide competition. We look forward to doing more for our community and we can’t wait to work with the Golden Harvest Food Bank in 2021!

EMC Homes Reaches Milestone by Closing 250th Home

BUFORD, Ga., Dec. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — 2020 has been a year full of surprises. After strong sales months in the early portion of the year, the arrival of COVID-19 seemed to bring new home sales to a screeching halt, at least temporarily.

However, the combination of low interest rates and low inventory helped spark a roaring comeback for new home sales and many homebuilders were able to capitalize on that, including local homebuilder EMC Homes.

BUFORD, Ga., Dec. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — 2020 has been a year full of surprises. After strong sales months in the early portion of the year, the arrival of COVID-19 seemed to bring new home sales to a screeching halt, at least temporarily.

However, the combination of low interest rates and low inventory helped spark a roaring comeback for new home sales and many homebuilders were able to capitalize on that, including local homebuilder EMC Homes.

Weathering the storm of COVID-19 would have seemed like a successful enough year for a local, privately-owned business. But, in just their 4th year in operation, they are celebrating their 250th home closing.

«This is an extraordinary milestone for our company,» said Donovan Haag, Chief Financial Officer and Managing Member of EMC Homes. «We have an incredible team here at EMC Homes and I couldn’t be more proud. Our mission is to help get people into an affordable home and the fact that we’ve done that now for 250 families is remarkable.»

As if that were not enough to celebrate, EMC Homes is also poised for another year of double-digit growth. After closing 85 homes in 2019, they are on-target to close 125 in 2020 – an impressive 47% increase from the previous year.

«The largest financial investment people make during their lifetime is their home,» said Jaclyn Riddle, VP of Sales for EMC Homes. «We’re so happy that year after year, more and more people are entrusting us with something that important.»

For more information about the well-crafted new homes and variety of floorplans available in EMC Homes’ new home communities, please check out their homes in person or visit emchomes.com.

Green Lane near the Sunshine Coast in Rizhao declared a national boutique tourist project

RIZHAO, China, Dec. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The Publicity Department of Rizhao Municipality announced that at the recent 2020 China Sports Culture Expo & China Sports Tourism Expo, Rizhao once again made the list of winners in the China Sports Tourism Boutique Destination Awards, and the Coastal Cycling and Hiking Route along the Sunshine Coast Green Lane was named a China Sports Tourism Boutique Route.

RIZHAO, China, Dec. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The Publicity Department of Rizhao Municipality announced that at the recent 2020 China Sports Culture Expo & China Sports Tourism Expo, Rizhao once again made the list of winners in the China Sports Tourism Boutique Destination Awards, and the Coastal Cycling and Hiking Route along the Sunshine Coast Green Lane was named a China Sports Tourism Boutique Route.

A key urban construction project in Rizhao City in 2020, the Sunshine Coast Green Lane starts from Lighthouse Square in the south and extends to the south bank of the Liangcheng River in the north – a length of about 28 kilometers. It opened to the public on July 1. The construction of the Green Lane afforded priority to the natural environment and ecology. Specifically, exposed sites and damaged coastal sites have been restored, and 27,000 trees and 280,000 shrubs have been planted as part of a Greener Land project, expanding the green area an additional 490,000 square meters.

The walls along all coastal areas have now been removed, as have the unsightly obsolete facilities and illegal constructions, so the Green Lane runs continuously and gives clear views of the landscape. The Wanpingkou Scenic area and Rizhao Coastal National Forest Park are open, and entry is free of charge. Through 19 connecting channels, the Green Lane connects urban roads, tourist attractions and scenic spots, squares and green spaces, tourist towns and other existing features. In addition, viewing platforms have been constructed and recreation squares put in place for tourists, as well as six floating bridges and one 1,776 meter-long culvert. All this is to create a landscape offering rich and varied experiences – such as walking in the air and walking in a picture. The Green Lane has a unified identification system and its service facilities have been set up in a scientific manner. A three-level system of service has been implemented, consisting of integrated service stations, general service stations and service points. This will ensure the delivery of quality service.

The Green Lane near the Sunshine Coast is a new calling card of Rizhao. It perfectly combines leisure and fitness with ecological experiences, and provides a fresh starting point for Rizhao to strengthen the protection of its coastal zone, build a magnificent city and promote high-quality economic and social development.
