Phila. Afro-American Firefighters Group Settles Lawsuit

by KYW’s Mike Dunn

There's a partial settlement in a federal discrimination lawsuit filed by a group of African American firefighters in Philadelphia against the city and the firefighters union.

Club Valiant, representing black Philadelphia firefighters, went to federal court last fall, alleging that the firefighters' union openly discriminates against its black members. The portion of the suit filed against the Nutter Administration has now been settled:

"The city has agreed to provide additional diversity training to employees of the Philadelphia Fire Department. The plaintiffs are able to contribute to the content and topics of the diversity training."

Changing The Symbolism Of The Color Black

I am Van Stone, author and syndicated columnist, and I invite people from all intercultural backgrounds to join the Van Stone Productions Foundation. My hope is that, through the media, I can teach men, women, and children the importance of joining the organization Van Stone Productions Foundation (VSP) which helps to define the color “black.” I had exactly what VSP members were looking for when I used the admired works of Dr. Seuss’, “My Many Colored Days” to come up with the “Expression of Black” in the color black.

I assign colors to moods and emotions as was Dr. Seuss’ signature. VSP brings colors (nationalities) and images (crafts) together as one family/community. I believe that black means happy. I like to say, "The thoughts of happy men generate good company for positive people."

"Unfortunately the color of black has been blamed for many tragedies. Such as dressing in black during school shootings, being black-listed or black-balled, evil, etc.," I'd also say, "The color black has been synonymous with many negative things and subconsciously the color black creates negative thoughts for many people.

I desire that the color black be re-designed and created in a whole new expression, just like green is for earth day, blue is for jean day, silver is for a 25th anniversary.

I have created a PEACE DAY for the wearing of the color black to stop unduly influencing people with the symbolism of the color black having negative connotations. On PEACE DAYS, all days are great for reading, honoring grandparents, doing any type of planting, telling close friends that you are glad to have them as a real friend, and hanging out in your library. PEACE DAYS are also for conversing about your favorite realistic fiction, fantasy, fairy tales, mascots, or superheroes who may represent the color black. Then it would be good to draw the shape of a black rose or heart.

Please become a VSP member! Click on the WVSR Youth Model, Latonya Turpin, SUBSCRIBE IMAGE, below to go to VSP's WVSR 1360 website and fill out the registration to join. And thanks for reading the Philadelphia Front Page News.

Today is a new day.

By the way, some of my close friends have nicknamed me "doc"
