The State of Black America Reveals How Hate
Continues To Rise In The U.S.

The 2023 report ti
tled, “Democracy in Peril:
Confronting the Threat With
in,’’ sounds the alarm about
extremist ideas taking root in
classrooms, law enforcement,
the military, and the halls of
Congress.
“The mainstreaming
of extremist ideology is an
existential threat to American
democracy, the rule of law, and
decades of hard-won progress
toward an equitable, inclusive,
and more perfect union,’’ Na
tional Urban League President
and CEO Marc H. Morial said.
“No longer limited to passing
out mimeographed leaflets on
street corners or huddling in
corners of the dark web, con
spiracy-mongers and white
nationalists openly spew their
bile across social media and
cable television,” he continued.
“They weave it into the public
policy they impose on their
constituents. It corrodes the
trust between police, the mili
tary, and the communities they
are sworn to protect and serve.”
The report also draws
on data and analysis from the
Southern Poverty Law Center,
ADL, and UCLA Law. The
State of Black America reveals
how deeply extremist ideas
have crept into America’s most
important institutions, leading
to a rising tide of deadly vio
lence, harsh laws, and racial
tensions being used as weap
ons.
A special section of
the report talks about Morial’s
20 years as president and chief
executive officer of the Nation
al Urban League. This section
shows how his leadership has
changed over the last two de
cades.
A special section of
the report called “A Climate
in Crisis,” made in partnership
with the American Council on
Renewable Energy, makes a
case for equal economic op
portunity and environmental
justice. “The mainstreaming
of extremist ideology is an
existential threat to American
democracy, the rule of law, and
decades of hard-won progress
toward an equitable, inclusive,
and more perfect union,” Mori
al wrote in the report.
Congratulations
TO THE 2023 HONOREES!

Strengthening The Core at Clifton
As we navigate the ins
and outs of this world in 2023,
Clifton’s focus is “Strengthen
ing the Core, Empowering the
Community and Changing a
Generation”. We are strength
ening the core of our ministry
which will allow us to secure
our relationship with Christ
and reach out to people and
draw them to Christ.
On January 29, 2023,
we began the year by ordaining
two deacons, Dea. Vernon Ber
nard Bowen and Dea. Robert
Jones. Clifton is fortunate to
have two young men who are
committed to a role of service,
sacrifice, and commitment to
others’ needs.
We celebrated the 4th
Pastoral Anniversary of Pas
tor Craig L. Daughtry, Sr. on
Friday, March 24th with Bish
op Norris Darden, Jr. of New
Generation Full Gospel Baptist
Church and on Sunday, March
26th, guest minister Elder Ant-
wain Turner brought the An
niversary message. For these
past four years, Clifton has
been blessed with a Pastor that
not only preaches, but one that
teaches, encourages, guides, as
well as provides wisdom, com
passion, and support. With First
Lady Monica Daughtry by his
side, the couple demonstrates
their love for our Savior and
a passion for His people. We
thank God for the Daughtry
family and all they have done
and will do for the CBC family.
As we embark on the gradua
tion season, Clifton is proud
to recognize five graduates.
They are: Jakobi Jones, Jen
kins High School; Antwayn-
nette Williams, Johnson High
School; Craig Daughtry, Jr.,
Calvary Day School; Jessell
Morrell, Claflin University,
Orangeburg, S.C., Bachelors
of Arts in Music - Music Ed
ucation; and Demetra Jones,
Strayer University, Bachelors
of Science, Accounting.
On Sunday, April
30th we will celebrate “Minis
try Appreciation Sunday”. We
value our members and encour
age them to use their gifts and
talents to minister to others as
we best serve the ever-chang
ing needs of God’s people.
Join us on Sundays
at 9:30am in person at 100 Big
Hill Road in Garden City or

If you believe ev
erything you see or read, the
narrative is that violent crime
is escalating, no one is getting
arrested, and those who are ar
rested aren’t getting tried. Yet,
according to a Pew research
poll that shows that despite
crime falling, people con
tinue to feel “less safe” year
after year. What is the truth?
Is crime out of control? Or is
mass incarceration part of the
problem?

Here are some fast facts
before our event:
Chatham County has
the highest rate of recidivism in
the State.
The Chatham Coun
ty Detention Center is so un
derstaffed, 1200 detainees are
on lockdown 23 hours a day.
Some detainees have spent
years waiting for a trial.
The Detention Cen
ter will only accept detainees
accused of committing a felo
ny, violent or not (not all felo
nies are violent crimes; many
charges that would ordinarily
be misdemeanors can be esca
lated to felonies if a person is
on parole or probation)
Misdemeanor cases
are routinely dismissed with a
fine.
And here are a few of
the questions our panelist will
be asked to address:
• If you are arrested for com
mitting a felony, what can you
expect to have happen?
• If you are a victim of a vi
olent crime, how long would
your case take to come to trial?
• What is reentry like after
having served your sentence?
• What are some unexpected
reasons people find themselves
detained in Chatham County?
• How do these offenses
keep people from getting on
with their lives once they have
served their sentence?
If you’d like to sub
mit a question to be included,
write to questions@LVVVC-
GA.org. All questions must be
submitted by April 18.
The event is free,
but attendees must register at
LWVCGA.org.
