Call for Action: Baker and Morial Comment on Remarks of Presidential Candidate Rick Santorum
A Statement from Donna Jones Baker, President & CEO, Urban League of Greater Cincinnati
We at the Urban League of Greater Cincinnati support our National President, Marc Morial, in his outcry regarding the recent remarks of Rick Santorum. We must remember poverty knows no color, no gender or no segment of the country. It is alarming that in the year 2012, there are still politicians and others who fan the flames of discontent and divisiveness among Americans. Today, Mr. Santorum’s remarks singled out African Americans. This is not a black issue alone. It is the responsibility of all Americans to respond to this type of race-baiting and remind Mr. Santorum that his comments are unacceptable for again, poverty knows no color, no gender or no segment of the country.
This is unacceptable rhetoric coming from someone who wants to lead this nation.

SOAR Participants attend Men of Honor Banquet
On November 19, 2011 several participants of the Urban League of Greater Cincinnati’s Solid Opportunities for Advancement and Retention (SOAR) program attended the 2011 Men of Honor Awards Banquet. Mr. David Foxx, CEO, d.e. Foxx and Associates presented a grant to the League which allowed for a few of our participants to represent the Urban League.
Mr. Foxx along with Judge Nathaniel R. Jones, Dr. Odell Owens (President, Cincinnati State Technical and Community College), Dr. Victor Garcia, (Founding Director of Trauma Services, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center) and Anthony Smith (Assistant Superintendant, Cincinnati Public Schools) were the honorees for the evening.
Mr. Foxx gave the men in our program the opportunity to see and experience firsthand the success of extraordinary black men who are committed to positive change in the Greater Cincinnati Community. Our participants were truly uplifted and inspired by the opportunity to witness such a marvelous event honoring Black men. Brent Bedgood, Intern for Workforce Development summed it up best, “One day I want to be on that stage!”
The event was held at the Manor House, Mason, Ohio and our gentlemen looked fantastic at this black tie affair. Thank you Mr. Foxx!
