How Caribbean Americans Helped Shape Black Music

■ By Myshjua Allen Murray for WSS News, Arts, Entertainment & Culture

June is both Black Music Month and Ca- ribbean American Heritage Month - two celebrations that share deep cultural roots. In honor of both observances, Westside Story Newspaper will feature a series of weekly articles exploring the impact of Ca- ribbean Americans on music, culture, and entertainment.

This week, we begin with a look at the pro- found influence Caribbean Americans have had on Black music in the United States.

From jazz clubs in Harlem to sound sys- tems in the Bronx, Caribbean Americans have helped shape the soundtrack of Black America for more than a century. Their in- fluence can be heard in jazz, calypso, soul, reggae, disco, hip-hop, dancehall, R&B, and pop music genres that continue to define global culture today.

By the early 1900s, calypso music from Trinidad had already begun reaching

Some California Schools in Same District Receive Double the Funding of Others, Bill Aims to Change That By Bo Tefu California Black Media

The measure would not reduce funding for According to California Department of Edu- cation data cited by Cortese, Palo Alto Unified School District spends about $29,876 per stu- dent annually, while nearby Milpitas Unified School District spends approximately $16,504 per student.

Similar disparities exist elsewhere in the state, including parts of Fresno and Kern counties. The proposal has drawn support from educa- tion advocates and labor leaders.

"The California School Employees Associa- tion proudly supports SCA 5 because every stu- dent deserves an equal opportunity to a quality public education no matter where they live," said Adam Weinberger, president of CSEA, which represents more than 250,000 classi- fied school employees statewide. "Classified school employees see every day how funding inequality puts some students at a disadvan- tage. This bill would help close that gap."

Dr. Lisa Andrew, president and CEO of the Silicon Valley Education Foundation -- whose organization is co-sponsoring the measure -- said the inequities are visible across communi-

"Students just miles apart are receiving dra- matically different educations, not because of their potential, but because of their zip code," Andrew said. "We believe SCA 5 is the kind of bold, structural commitment California's stu- dents have long deserved."

Some politicians believe making promised to have ICE agents ar- any promise loudly and confidently is an adequate substitute for only supporting proposals that are real- istic or implementable.

One might ask: can they actually do any of this? The answer, rooted not in opinion but in two centuries of constitutional law, is no. And yet the question almost never gets asked; because the performance is the point.

More than one in five American adults battle depression, bipolar disorder, or some other mental ill- ness. And even with insurance, about two-thirds of those patients can't access treatment.

That's because insurers are open- ly disregarding federal law and structuring plans that provide inad- equate coverage for mental health care.

These barriers especially harm patients of color, who dispropor- tionately experience mental health challenges.

Federal law requires insurers to provide equal access to men- tal health conditions and physical health problems. But insurers have found ways to skirt those requirements.

Consider how many insurers set reimbursement rates for mental health services so low that provid- ers struggle to sustain their prac- tices.

providers don't take insurance - about a third of psychologists, for example, don't accept insurance.

Even patients who do find in-net- work providers face coverage bar- riers.

Insurers Are Blocking Mental Health Care

By Guy Anthony

For example, insurers frequent- ly rely on "prior authorization," which requires doctors to com- plete lengthy paperwork and jump through administrative hoops to obtain insurer approval to pre- scribe a medication or treatment for a patient.

Over a quarter of patients who take or seek a prescription medica- tion for a mental health condition experience prior authorization is- sue, according to one recent sur- vey.

Over 90% of doctors say that pri- or authorization delays necessary care, and over three in four say that patients discontinue treatment be- cause of prior authorization chal- lenges.

Studies show that prior authori- zation can delay access to essen- tial behavioral health medication, leading to decreased treatment effectiveness and avoidable harm.

I've experienced these delays firsthand. While living with bipo- lar disorder for more than a de- cade, I've had to navigate complex medication regimes and constant changes in treatment. A few years ago, prior authorization blocked me from getting the medication that kept me stable.

This wasn't about my doctor's judgment, it was an administrative barrier that put my health at risk. If I can still face coverage gaps de- spite having resources and experi- ence navigating the system, many others - especially people of col- or barriers.

As a result, many mental health impose limits on how many thera- py visits a patient can have covered in a year or only offer mental health services for a limited amount of time.

In Trini- dad, calypso tents served as cultur- al gathering spaces where singers used music to tell stories, comment on politics, and entertain Carnival crowds. Those traditions would later travel with Caribbean immi- grants to the United States. By the late 1930s, calypso stars like Lord Invader and Roaring Lion were gaining international attention as American record labels brought Caribbean artists to New York to record music and perform in night- clubs.

One of the earliest examples of cultural appropriation in popular music came when Lord Invader's song "Rum and Coca-Cola" was adapted and recorded by the An- drews Sisters in 1945 without proper credit or compensation. Lord Invader later won a land- mark copyright lawsuit, helping establish important protections for songwriters and composers.

Grandmaster Flash te brought Caribbean music into singer and actor Harry Belafon- mainstream American culture. His groundbreaking 1956 album Ca- lypso became the first album in his- tory to sell more than one million copies in a single year. Songs like "Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)" introduced many Americans to Ca- ribbean rhythms and storytelling traditions for the very first time. As Caribbean immigration to the United States continued to grow, so did the influence of Caribbean music and culture. In the 1960s and 1970s, Jamaican artists like Jimmy

Cliff helped introduce ska and reg- gae music to American audiences through songs like "Wonderful World, Beautiful People." Soon af- ter, Bob Marley & The Wailers and Third World transformed reggae from a regional sound into a global musical movement rooted in spiri- tuality, social justice, and Black liberation.

From the City's Housing & Homelessness Department: Gabriela Leon, Cassandra Searcy, and Trina Perez - Deputy Director. Also included are Major Adam Morales - Salvation Army Corps Officer, and Bill Lemann - Attorney and master of ceremonies.

SAN BERNARDINO, CA--- The Salvation Army of San Bernardino County recently named the City of San Bernardino its partner of the year at the Salvation Army's an- nual red kettle kickoff, honoring the city for its outstanding service, partnership, and commitment to supporting the organization's mis- sion to end homelessness.

"We are incredibly grateful to The Salvation Army for recognizing the City of San Bernardino as its Partner of the Year," said Mayor Helen Tran. "This honor reflects our commitment to serving fami- lies, uplifting our most vulnerable residents, and strengthening neigh- borhoods. We are proud to have the Salvation Army as a partner." The City's remarkable partnership in funding and staffing has signifi- cantly contributed to the success of The Salvation Army's initiatives, particularly by helping us rapidly rehouse 171 families through vari- ous deposit and rental assistance programs. "35,871 nights of shel- ter were provided to families and children experiencing homeless- ness," said Major Adam Morales, Commander of the San Bernardino

Corps.

Last year, The Salvation Army assisted 28,201 people in 25,022 households, provided 113,400 meals, and distributed groceries to 10,801 households. 3,513 children took part in educational and recre- ational programs.

The City continues its partnership with The Salvation Army in 2026 to rapidly rehouse and shelter more people.

"We reach out and contact un- housed people wherever they may be, and we spend time to get to know them and their individual concerns and needs. We take an individualized case-management approach. Sometimes, it's a De- partment of Motor Vehicles Iden- tification Voucher, a phone call or text; other times, it's advocating for behavioral health services or assisting with placement in perma- nent housing."

"We get done what needs to be done and help connect the dots so that those we serve don't fall through the cracks," said Major Morales.

"There are many reasons people may be homeless, and a variety of circumstances that may get in the way of providing shelter for some- one. We work through the barriers and get people shelter," said Major Morales.

The Salvation Army welcomes donations of food, clothing, toys, and money, which can be dropped off at The Hospitality House, 925

W. 10th Street, San Bernardino, or at the Citadel office, 838 Alta Street, Redlands. Donations can also be made online at SBCSVA.
