Federal workers are back on the job today after Washington' record snowstorm and the end of the government shutdown. (Federal workers were back for one day last week, but bad weather forced another shutdown on Friday). Includes quick interviews with Department of Labor employees.

INTERVIEW CONTINUES: Robert Lipsyte one of the things you kind of imply, maybe Albert would comment on it is that you're not getting the right information. Through the media, or whatever you're not knowing learning what you need to know, or the community isn't. Albert Jennings That's definitely true. When we talk about the media, the media has portrayed young African American males in very negative light. And it seems educators think that and we internalize this, I mean, educators think that we can only go so far, and we picture ourselves only going so far, all we see is young, African American males, the successful ones, being an NBA basketball player, and only 414 NBA basketball players in the country, there are many more brain surgeons, you know, and many more nuclear physicists than our basketball players. But yet, we could never picture ourselves as becoming a nuclear physicist, all we could picture ourselves as becoming an NBA basketball player. Robert Lipsyte Well, but somewhere in between there is just you know, most most of us are just kind of ordinary and get jobs Javone in terms of yourself and your friends, how hard is it to go out and just get a job and make a living? Javone Summers Well, especially with, with people from my age group, it is hard because they feel that we were not up to the responsibility, and doing the job and, and we have other bad, you know, we will go out and do something else, we would rather be out doing something else than doing the job. We don't really Robert Lipsyte When you say they you're talking about the people who would hire people that are hiring stereotypes. Javone Summers Yeah, the stereotypes are put in front of us, Robert Lipsyte have you tried Javone Summers Yes, I have tried to get many jobs and have been turned down, just because, um, and besides most of the jobs that I look for, the I like, when I look for a job, I look for a job that well I can I can produce, like more for the company or something. So I would help the company, I don't want to like stock a stock person or, or messenger or something like that, you know, I want to be I mean, I can understand that you have to work your way up in a company or organization. So, but it's just that they look at us in a different way. Robert Lipsyte Greg, one of the implications in a study like this is if Harlem is indeed worse than a part of Bangladesh, is that you have to get out of Harlem, you have to get out of it to make it. Greg Taylor Yeah, absolutely there's nothing further from the truth. I think that the figure that was quoted earlier about black people have access to $200 billion dollars worth of, of money that we need to spend on black businesses, in black communities. I think that we need to, to begin, I think Harlem is is a wonderful center of learning of cultural experience of day to day life, both Latino and African American and I think that I it represents what we are and to deny that is to once again to accept what society in a way has said about the African American experience and to deny ourselves I think that we emulate our society and our surroundings. And by taking away Harlem from us in a way we were it's almost like losing a part of us and I think Robert Lipsyte you went to college, Greg Greg Taylor Yeah I go to Hunter College Now. I'm a senior at Hunter College now Robert Lipsyte and did you have I mean, stereotypically, you know, you shouldn't have gotten from what we see in the media shouldn't have gotten there. Greg Taylor Absolutely. I have. I've had the typical upbringing, you have a typical, absolutely. I've gone to an inner city high school. And from there I, you know, took a year off. And, you know, I just I had a commitment to myself, but I had to find that in myself. Raul made a comment earlier talking about how most African Americans feel that they can only be stock people, secretaries, messengers, and and this is what we're fed, this is also what we have access to. And there's just something in me. And I think that it's been instilled by in programs like the valley, Robert Lipsyte what do you think that you're special? Or that Greg Taylor No, not at all? I Robert Lipsyte just think that what about Albert, Greg Taylor there's a resiliency that you must have. Yeah, I Robert Lipsyte mean, you know, you're in college now, right? Yes, that's true. I mean, did you have a typical upbringing, you think that you're special? Albert Jennings No, I'm not special. I just think that I was fortunate to have a mother, my mother was special. And when she raised me, she was I didn't watch much television as a young, young child growing up. And I had to go to the army to get the army college fund to go to college. And this is what enabled me financially to attend school. But no, I don't think I'm special. I mean, it's your conditions that allow you to succeed, and the conditions of a young African American male and Harlem are that that he's not allowed to succeed. I mean, his health conditions, his economic conditions, his social conditions, and unless we change these conditions, it's only going to get worse,

African American female hostess, Almo Hawkins, in the studio, welcomes viewers to Spotlight and announces guests coming up. Hawkins introduces three women, the wives of servicemen. INTERVIEW Almo Hawkins 9:25 Good evening. Welcome to spotlight. Later in the program. I will be talking with the president of the League of Women Voters Joan Wade, and a special interview with Patricia sides, who is a freelance television documentary maker from New York City. And right now I'm very happy to have with me three young women who are wives of service men, and they are going to be talking about the activities, the special problems and the rewards of being military wives. And they are Maria Whip, Deborah Seaton and Josie Orta. Welcome to spotlight Well, let's start out by talking about some of the special problems that military wives have. And I'm sure that one of them must be leaving home for that first time. Almo Hawkins 10:12 I don't know whether or not being married to a military man has held me back or hampered me in any way. I've been wondering about that a lot lately. Because I just kind of think that that Now is my time to blossom. Maybe, you know, I think I just had to go through all these growing pains. And I went through all the little things that wives do. And but I learned so much from the army by by, you know, I'm not in the army, but by being married to a military man. Irvin Hawkins 10:46 When she first went out to get that job I, I had no doubt in my mind that she would come back and say, Well, I didn't get it. And I would laugh. Well, have a drink and forget it. But she came back and she said, Well, I got the job.

Trayvon Alexander has a daily commute that requires both train and bus rides to get to work at a gas station in the Twin Cities.But the uphill battle just to get that job is what makes his story unique.“All I’ll say is never give up,” Alexander said. Nearly a year after 5 INVESTIGATES found Alexander had been mistakenly connected to his twin brother’s criminal record, the 25-year-old from St. Paul is finally clearing his name. “I’ve never done anything wrong,” Trayvon said. “I’ve never cheated my way in life.” Despite letters from the State of Minnesota confirming he has no criminal record, potential employers repeatedly rejected applications from Trayvon Andres Alexander, confusing him with his fraternal twin brother, who has a remarkably similar name – Travon Andrew Alexander.In February, a 5 INVESTIGATES review of the Minnesota Court Information System revealed that a search of Trayvon’s name (his first and middle names spelled correctly) still produced his brother’s 2017 felony conviction out of Ramsey County for “criminal sex conduct.”The revelation not only exposed deeper concerns about the accuracy of employment background checks, but also prompted Assistant Ramsey County Attorney Jorge Saavedra to begin looking for a way to correct the record.“When I heard the story, I was so glad that we had an opportunity to work on his case,” said Saavedra, who is assigned to the Victim, Witness and Postconviction Justice Division.“(Trayvon) has no criminal record whatsoever in Minnesota,” Saavedra said. “It’s unclear whether it was a mistake on the part of law enforcement at the time of the arrest or if it was a mistake in regards to the information that was presented by Trayvon’s brother.”After coordinating with both law enforcement and the judicial branch in Minnesota, Trayvon’s name is no longer connected to any criminal cases in a search of the online court system. “Using expungement, which is a process of sealing records, we use that to correct the record,” Saavedra said. “When he goes and applies for a job, or he tries to rent an apartment, we wanted it to be clear to anybody who checked his background that, in fact, he doesn’t have a criminal record.”Trayvon saw the immediate impact when he applied for a job.“Once it went through, they instantly called me, I did an interview, and I got hired on the spot,” he said. The outcome is welcomed by Ramsey County Attorney John Choi, who issued a policy statement in 2019, directing prosecutors in his office to consider the “collateral consequences” of criminal convictions.“I really believe that the role of a prosecutor is to ensure that there truly is justice in the community. And that’s not just seeking convictions,” Choi said. “It’s just sad to know that a situation like this happened, but… once we’ve learned about it, thankfully, we have the resources to correct it.”The relief is coming just in time for Trayvon, who became the father of a baby girl this summer.“I’m glad that I can be able to provide for them – be the father that I always wanted to be for my children,” Trayvon said. “Now I can prove a lot to people.”
