FEATURE: Remembering John Lewis at Comic-Con

  It’s easy to say you’ll stand up for what’s right, but it’s much harder to follow through. Those who are able to gather the courage to face off against adversity and injustice for a greater cause truly deserve to be called heroes — and so it’s only fitting to mark the late John Lewis as first and foremost, an American hero. 

    A key leader of the American Civil Rights movement, he put his mark on many key events, leading the SNCC which organized the sit-ins, and was one of the first 13 Freedom Riders. He was the youngest member of the Big Six civil right’s activists that organized the March on Washington in August 1963 (Martin Luther King Jr, Roy Wilkins of the NAACP, Philip Randolf of the Negro American Labor Council, James Farmer of the Interracial Congress of Racial Equality, Whitney Young of the National Urban League, and Lewis himself, representing the SNCC), and spoke right before King. While one thing to highlight is how he led the three Selma to Montgomery marches — which twisted into violence when state troopers descended upon the march with tear gas and truncheons, hospitalizing many including Lewis himself. While violence against civil rights protestors was certainly not uncommon, the brutality this time was televised, and shocked the nation, later becoming one of the cornerstones for the passing of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. His later political work took him to Congress in 1986, where he represented Georgia. In office, he continuously fought not just for the rights of his constituents, but for justice. 

  It’s not uncommon for political figures to end up writing biographies, but fewer decide to take the leap from text into the visual. One of Lewis’ major inspirations for his leap into activism was the comic Martin Luther King and the Montgomery Story, written by Alfred Hassler and Benton Resnik with illustrations by Sy Barry. It was a comic that inspired Lewis all those years ago, so his congressional staffer, Andrew Aydin, repeatedly suggested to tell his story in the same format. After all, a comic not only can reach a wider audience but a younger audience, and tell a story in a way that text cannot. Together with Aydin as his co-writer and Nate Powell as the illustrator, the March trilogy was born, detailing the Civil Rights Movement as told through Lewis’ eyes. The trilogy was a great success, holding top spots on the New York Times bestseller list and later winning many awards, including the National Book Award. 

  Promoting his book took Lewis to the convention circuit, he noted that the experience was quite enjoyable. “It’s a lot of fun to get out and talk about this book, and to see the reaction of people, especially teachers, librarians, and children,” he said in an interview with ComicsAlliance. “Because it’s dramatic. It’s alive, it’s movement, it’s action.” For San Diego Comic-Con 2015, Lewis hosted his Saturday panel dressed in the same style as his 25-year-old self who lead protestors across Edmund Pettus Bridge. The accuracy didn’t stop at his clothing but also went down to the contents of his backpack, in which he carried two books, an apple, toothpaste, and a toothbrush. 

  One of the main goals for writing March was not just to get the details of the Movement out to the world, but to tell the story to the next generation. The next generation met him at Comic-Con that afternoon, not just with a room of eager attendees, but in the form of two dozen third-graders from Oak Park Elementary. When Lewis had to get to Top Shelf Productions’ booth for autograph sessions, the students’ teacher, Mick Rabin, suggested that they all walk with the congressman to his booth. So they did, and many congoers joined along in the procession. “I felt very, very moved just by being with the kids,” Lewis said to the Washington Post, “As you know, the civil-rights movement was often led by the children and the young people.” There truly was no better way to celebrate the trilogy and all it stood for. 

  Sadly, Lewis’ fight could not last forever. He passed away at age 80 on July 17th, 2020 following a 6-month battle with pancreatic cancer. Yet his legacy lives on, history written in the pages of those books. To honor him is to continue the fight that he took part in, to continue battling against injustice, through thick and thin, for the sake of a better future.

PMA willing to testify in Dormitorio murder case

#PHnews: PMA willing to testify in Dormitorio murder case

BAGUIO CITY – The Philippine Military Academy (PMA) is willing to testify and provide documents if ordered by the court on the death of fourth class cadet Darwin Dormitorio.

In a PMA statement on Wednesday, the academy said “the PMA welcomes with high hopes the development on the cadet 4CL Dormitorio case emanating from the resolution released by the Baguio City Prosecutor’s Office.”

“Rest assured that the Academy will continue to support and comply with any court order should we be required to appear, bring documents, or testify,” it added.

The Baguio City Prosecutor’s Office has found probable cause to charge with murder Third Class Cadets (3CL) Shalimar Imperial and Felix Lumbag Jr.; PMA Station Hospital officers Capt. Flor Apple Apostol, Maj. Ofelia Beloy and Lt. Col. Ceasar Candelaria.

Two other cadets -- Julius Tadena and 2nd class cadet Christian Zacarias-- were charged with hazing and less serious physical injuries and for slight physical injuries, respectively.

The complaints against 1st Class Cadet Rey Sanopao, 3rd Class Cadet Rey David John Volante, 3rd Class Cadet John Vincent Manalo, and tactical officers Maj. Rex Bolo and Capt. Jeffrey Batistiana were dismissed for lack of probable cause.

The charges against then PMA Superintendent Lt. Gen. Ronnie Evangelista and Brig. Gen. Bartolome Vicente Bacarro were also dropped.

The resolution was a result of the investigation by a panel of prosecutors composed of Assistant Prosecutors Margarita de Guzman-Manalo, Edwin Brian Sagsago, and Philip Randolf Kiat-ong. It was approved by city prosecutor Elmer Sagsago.

All cadets have been placed under custody and were already earlier dismissed as members of the Cadet Corps Armed Forces of the Philippines.

Dormitorio, 20, died inside the PMA barracks after experiencing beatings on September 18 last year and was confined at the hospital twice. Bruises were found on his stomach consistent with hazing. (PNA)

Making History

When does History Happen? Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King, Jr.

 Image from the Waterford Institute

 Some people argue history happens when the right person shows up at the right time and place under conditions, which facilitate change. To some extent I agree with this idea. On the other hand, I contend that an individual can take steps to change history even when time, place and conditions are less than ideal.

 Abraham Lincoln: Not Part of the Plan

 In Bloomington, Illinois on May 29, 1856 the new Republican Party had an organizational meeting. A coalition was emerging from a political party known as the Whigs, which had both conservative and liberal members, men in the Know-Nothing movement, former Democrats and current abolitionists.

 Members had a single idea in common, i.e., opposition to the spread of slavery to new territories and states of the United States. The main organizer, Paul Selby, could not attend. He had been severely beaten by a pro-slavery mob on the streets of his hometown and was left too injured to travel. The night before the organizing convention, Orville Browning met with leaders of the different factions and after considerable discussion and debate, they came up with a compromise agenda and a list of speakers for the convention. It did not include a circuit-riding attorney and former United States Representative whose opposition to the Mexican-America war eight years earlier left him very unpopular with voters. In other words, Abraham Lincoln was among the hopeful, ambitious men left off the agenda.

The convention agreed on a candidate for Governor. Lincoln was appointed chair of a committee to select candidates for lesser state offices, a necessary but secondary position within the party. The day wore on with others making speeches and positioning themselves for notice within the new Republican Party of Illinois. About 5:30 PM, the time scheduled to adjourn, friends of Lincoln in the crowd began to call his name and ask him to speak. It may well be that his reputation for delivering jokes and telling tall tales encouraged some in the audience to hope he would help end the day with a touch of levity and good feeling.

 Sitting in the audience with time ticking away, ambitious consummate politician Abraham Lincoln realized he now had a chance, perhaps the only chance he would ever have, to elevate his status within the new state Republican Party. If he did nothing, Lincoln would very likely remain someone asked to nominate and support other men for state and national offices. Lincoln rose and said, “I believe I will say a few words from here.”

 Delegates shouted, asking him to speak from the podium. Lincoln ambled to the front clutching a few notes he had scribbled over the last two days.

And then…

                                 Lincoln delivered what has come to be known as “the lost speech.” He spoke for what was then a short time—ninety minutes. He talked with such eloquence that reporters (and even his law partner) assigned to transcribe the words got so caught up in the speech they stopped taking notes and just listened. With the rest of the audience, they listened and cheered. It’s impossible to know exactly what Lincoln said. Observers agree that early in the speech he calmly countered angry calls from an earlier speaker for invading Kansas with Sharps rifles with something like, “No, my friends, I’ll tell you want we’ll do. We’ll wait until November [the 1856 presidential election] and then we’ll shoot paper ballots at them.”

 Observers also agree that after the calm opening Lincoln started to rouse the emotions of the crowd. Although we do not know the details of what he said, Lincoln had spent much of the prior two years speaking in opposition to an act of Congress, which allowed the extension of slavery into new territories and states. He constantly sharpened his arguments and learned from audiences what phrasing best elicited emotional responses. There is general agreement that close to the end of his speech he said something like, “We say to our Southern brethren, ‘We won’t go out of the union and you shan’t.'” At the end of the speech delegates surrounded him cheering, clapping pounding him on the back and pumping his hand.

 It’s likely the speech was highly partisan. Lincoln made no effort to produce a version of the speech for publication as he did with many of his speeches. He may well have discouraged others from doing so. I suspect, having accomplished his goal, Lincoln did not lose the speech; he abandoned it. I believe Lincoln was aware, even then, of the importance of avoiding inflammatory language on the national stage.

 Martin Luther King, Jr. : Barely On The Agenda

 On August 28, 1963, the one hundredth anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation, The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom took place in Washington, D. C. Planned by the head of the march, A. Philip Randolf, and organized by Bayard Rustin, the event coordinated efforts by six civil rights organizations, labor and religious groups, singers and artists. Between 200,000 and 300,000 protestors attended. There were speeches by leaders of the various sponsoring groups, and a speech written by James Baldwin was read by actor Charlton Heston. Mahalia Jackson, Marian Anderson, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Josh White, and Peter, Paul and Mary performed songs.

                   Late in the afternoon as the event was winding down, Martin Luther King, Jr. rose at the not-quite-prime time he had been allotted by the better-known organizers and gave a seventeen minute speech he had carefully written out before. His remarks were scheduled sixteenth out of eighteen events on the day’s schedule. He was to be followed by a pledge by the organizer, A. Philip Randolf, and the benediction. King softened some of the earlier rhetoric by arguing against protest degenerating into violence.

And then…

 According to what may be a modern legend, Mahalia Jackson, called out, “Tell them about your dream, Martin.” Without notes, speaking on themes he had used many times before, King delivered an eloquent oration incorporating the American Dream and scriptural reference beginning, “I have a dream.”

 King took the risk of speaking from his heart extemporaneously on an occasion when little was expected from him. He went from one of the civil rights leaders in the United States to the preeminent civil rights leader. He gave voice to generations of oppressed and provided a vocabulary for all human rights for all time.

 Lincoln and King each seized a moment when little was expected from him to capture and ignite the hearts and souls of an audience, thereby creating an immediate stir and, more importantly, setting up future opportunities that each man would use on the way to becoming a major influence in determining the direction of American history.

2 PMA cadets, 3 doctors indicted in Dormitorio hazing death

#PHnews: 2 PMA cadets, 3 doctors indicted in Dormitorio hazing death

MANILA – The Baguio City Prosecutor's' Office ordered the filing of charges of murder and hazing charges against former cadets and officials of the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) implicated in the hazing death of Cadet 4th Class Darwin Dorimitorio.

In a 66-page joint resolution dated June 5 and made public Wednesday, prosecutors ordered that the charges be filed against Shalimar G. Imperal Jr., Felix M. Lumbag Jr., Capt. Flor Apple A. Apostol, Maj. Maria Ofelia R. Beloy and Lt. Col. Caesar A. Candelaria.

Imperial and Lumbag, then third-class cadets, first assaulted Dormitorio in August 2019. Despite numerous visits to the hospital and orders to stay away from Dormitorio, subsequent incidents occurred until Dormitorio succumbed to injuries on the morning of September 19.

Meanwhile, Apostol, Candeleria, and Beloy, medical doctors assigned at the Fort del Pilar Station Medical Hospital who treated the victim were charged after prosecutors said they "grossly failed to provide adequate medical care to Dormitorio, which also caused the latter's death."

Dormitorio, who declined to name his assailants while being treated by the doctors, was noted to have complained of stomachache and was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection despite repeated returns to the hospital.

Cadet 3rd Class (3CL) Julius Carlo Tadena was also charged with hazing and less serious physical injuries while Christian Zacarias, a second-class cadet, was indicted for slight physical injuries.

The charges against Cadet First Class (1CL) Axl Rey Sanopao, Cadet 3rd Class (3CL) Rey David John D. Volante, 3CL John Vincent M. Manalo, Maj. Rex C. Bolo and Capt. Jeffrey Batistiana were dismissed for lack of probable cause.

The charges against Lt. Gen. Ronnie S. Evangelista and Brig. Gen. Bartolome Vicente O. Bacarro, then PMA superintendent and commandant of cadets, respectively, were also dismissed for lack of probable cause.

The charges were recommended by Assistant City Prosecutors Margarita De Guzman Manalo, Edwin Brian Sagsago, and Philip Randolf Kiat-Ong and were approved by City Prosecutor Elmer Sagsago.

"It is everyone's hope that this case would be the last case of hazing not only in the PMA but in all other institutions," the prosecutors said. (PNA)
