CLEVELAND URBAN NEWS.COM, Cleveland, Ohio- Longtime greater Cleveland community activist Kathy Wray Coleman, who leads the local grassroots group the Imperial Women Coalition and edit's Cleveland Urban News.Com, Ohio's most read digital Black newspaper, received an award from the city of Cleveland on March 19, 2016 for her activism and journalism during a women's month program sponsored by the city.

Coleman was notified of the honor prior to the forum by Community Relations Board Director Blaine Griffin, the right hand man of Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson, and Yvonne Pointer, a community relations liaison for the city and published author and activist who works under Griffin.

"I am honored and surprised," said Coleman. "I thank all who had a part in recognizing me, including the mayor, Mr. Griffin, and Ms. Pointer."

Coleman said that "I extend a special thank you to greater Cleveland grassroots community activists, both Black and White alike, who have been with us in the trenches from the rape and murder of poor and other women and children across racial lines to police brutality and deadly force issues."

Coleman has led rallies on behalf of women raped or murdered in greater Cleveland from the murders of 11 Black women on Imperial Avenue in Cleveland by now death row inmate Anthony Sowell, a convicted serial killer, to the murders of four women near East 93rd Street in Cleveland to the west side decade-long captivity of Amanda Barry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight by Ariel Castro. The serial murders in East Cleveland by suspected serial killer Michael Madison is another matter that Coleman has addressed with community activists and has led rallies around.

Coleman even led a picket in front of Mayor Jackson's home in Cleveland in 2009 as activists called for more diversity in his law enforcement leadership team in the wake of the Imperial Murders. That protest, and other initiatives, resulted in 22- recommendations by a three-member committee appointed by the mayor for reforms regarding missing persons reports and rape and murder of women. It also contributed to the promotion of deputy Cleveland police chief Calvin Williams, who is Black, to police chief.

She has also fought for justice for 12-year-old Tamir Rice, whom Cleveland police gunned down in November 2014, and has led protests as to the police killings of 137 shots victims Malissa Williams and Timothy Russell, rapper Kenneth Smith, 18-year-old Brandon Jones, and that of Daniel Ficker, who was White, among others.

Several community activists attended the invitation-only gathering at the Hilton Garden Inn in Cleveland in support of Coleman. They include Cleveland African-American Museum Executive Director Frances Caldwell, Ada Averyhart, Marva Patterson, David Patterson, Marva Patterson, Amy Hurd, Aletha Thomas, Frances Caldwell, Pierre Nappier, Christine Wilson, Al Porter, Daniel Woods, Erica Conner, John Boyd, and Brown Report Newspaper publisher Kim Brown.

Coleman has fought for public policy changes as to the county grand jury process, violence against women, police abuse and excessive force issues, educational matters, housing discrimination, the absence of a mandated random draw process for the assignment and reassignment of Ohio trial court judges, and the list goes on.

And Coleman and other community activists have lobbied state legislators to revise Ohio's unconstitutional public school funding formula that hurts poor and Black children in cooperation with the DeRolph decision issued by the Ohio Supreme Court.

Ms. Coleman, who is Black, holds a bachelor's degree in biological science from Kentucky State University in Frankfort, Kentucky, a master's in teaching from Spalding University in Louisville, Kentucky, a master's degree in education administration from the University of Akron, and was all but dissertation in the doctoral program in education administration at Akron. There she was admitted on a full tuition scholarship, and per the recommendation of school officials, was inducted into the Pi Lambda Theta International Honor Society.

Ms. Coleman's graduate transcripts of her two master's degrees and doctoral program, where she completed all coursework and passed all comprehensive exams, reflects straight A's. She is an academician in its purest form and believes in higher education.

Ms Coleman is a staunch Civil Rights, children's rights and women's rights advocate, and she believes in equal opportunity for all people, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, socioeconomic status or sexual orientation. She is the surviving spouse of Wesley Maclin Jr., a former Cleveland police officer and deputy bailiff for Housing Court, also in the

city of Cleveland.

CLEVELAND URBAN NEWS.COM-CLEVELAND, Ohio-The Rev. Ralph David Abernathy III, a former Georgia state senator whose famed father, the Rev. Ralph David Abernathy Sr., marched along side of the late Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr during the Civil Rights Movement of the 50s and 60s and led the Southern Christian Leadership Conference after King was assassinated in 1968, has died.

The younger Abernathy passed away March 17 after a brave battle with colon cancer and two days shy of his 57th birthday.

The family said that funeral arrangements will be announced at a later date.

Abernathy spoke one-on-one in a interview with Cleveland Urban News.Com Editor-in-Chief Kathy Wray Coleman on Nov 4, 2012, just two days before the Nov 6, 2012 presidential election.

In Cleveland, Ohio in support of the reelection of President Barack Obama, he talked to Coleman, a 23-year local Black journalist and community activist, about voting, Civil Rights issues, and his father's relationship with Dr. King.

“My father and Uncle Martin [King] were like twins, they even dressed alike sometimes, and Uncle Martin died in his arms.” said Abernathy, an evangelist and motivational speaker who grew up in Montgomery, Alabama and served a decade in the Georgia State Legislature as an Atlanta senator. “We have got to vote in this election so that President Obama can continue to fight for the legacy of equal opportunity and Civil Rights that they left.”

Shaker Heights Judge K J. Montgomery is a racist drunk who uses Black attorneys that practice in her court to serve as judge to maliciously prosecute Black people, data show and says journalist and community activist Kathy Wray Coleman

CLEVELAND URBAN NEWS.COM-SHAKER HEIGHTS, Ohio- Absentee Shaker Heights Municipal Court Judge K.J Montgomery is using Black lawyers that practice in her court to maliciously prosecute Blacks while she waits in the backroom during jury deliberations and attempts to get them convicted on illegal jury instructions, a Cleveland Urban News.Com investigation found.

"This White judge is a racist and corrupt drunk who rarely goes to work and who issues high bonds against the Black community, and she needs to be indicted on criminal charges," said longtime community activist Kathy Wray Coleman, who says that Montgomery targeted her for housing discrimination articles she wrote that were published in the Call and Post Newspaper, a Black Cleveland weekly, and for leading pickets regarding housing discrimination in Shaker Heights against Blacks and the elderly and affiliated criminal prosecutions. (Editor's note: The bonds are excessively high against Blacks and some quadruple the bond former Cleveland police officer Michael Brelo received in the common pleas court from former judge Lance Mason as to manslaughter charges. And some of the high bonds are for low level felony charges. When felony cases are bounded over to the common pleas court the high bonds go with them. Montgomery does the majority White common pleas judges there a favor, sources say, and to the detriment of the Black community. Moreover, she is bringing felony charges against Blacks and women per police and without the investigation required by state law, the investigation also reveals))

Also at issue, said Coleman, among other factors, is still pending 12-year litigation on her University Heights home before Common Pleas Judge John O'Donnell (Editor's note: Public records show that O'Donnell stalked and sexually harassed Coleman for 12 years in a civil case using her home for bate and then tried to hand the home worth $150,000 to JPMorgan Chase Bank for $36,000 without it, her alleged mortgage company of 11 years, even suing her. The plaintiff in the case is a fictions mortgage company that has been out of business for 10 to 15 years, and Coleman says that Chase used four law firms and 15 high -paid lawyers in the litigation but has not sued her. See Cuyahoga County Case No, CV03505359. O'Donnell, says Coleman, allegedly got kick back monies from Chase attorneys to keep the case pending for some 12 years But the real reasons, said Coleman, are that he is "corrupt, racist, sexist and mentally unhinged").

Court records show that Coleman was prosecuted in 2005 in the Shaker Heights court for alleged telecommunications harassment, a case filed by the City of Beachwood that she beat after hiring prominent Cleveland Criminal Defense Attorney Terry Gilbert. The case, says Coleman, was frivolous to the hilt, and was retaliation for free speech, and was politically motivated as to Call and Post articles on the Cleveland mayoral race that she also wrote.

Montgomery rescued herself from the case after Gilbert filed an affidavit of prejudice saying that the judge, Beachwood prosecutor Thomas Greve and since fired Beachwood law director Margaret Anne Cannon were harssing Coleman, a former biology teacher and 23-year journalist who trained for 17 years at the Call and Post, and who now edits Cleveland Urban News.Com, Ohio's most read digital Black newspaper.

Coleman's activism and Call and Post articles were key to the harassment, Gilbert wrote in the affidavit of prejudice against Montgomery on behalf of his client. The judge then reused herself from the case and assigned local criminal defense attorney Fred Crosby, who is Black and practices in the court, to act as a judge .

According to Coleman, who leads the local grassroots group the Imperial Women Coalition, Montgomery, also a former Shaker Heights prosecutor, sat in the backroom during jury deliberations in a failed effort to get her convicted with illegal jury instructions, a White juror told Coleman after trial, Coleman says. When Coleman was cleared she says Montgomery's harassment escalated and she would send her bailiffs, one of whom was arrested last month on suspicion of DUI , to come to her home in University Heights to stalk her.

At issue in the 2005 malicious criminal prosecution was an expert witness that Coleman hired as to the 12-year- litigation before O'Donnell relative to her University Heights home. The expert witness, Myrna R. Gill, urged Coleman, who was acting in the case pro se, or for self, to call for discovery documents and then lied and said that she called her three times in November 2004 when she allegedly told her not to. She then filed a police report with Beachwood police and Coleman said they agreed to drop the case if she would agree to certain parameters unrelated to the case.

And though public records in the case reveal that Coleman and Gill had met at least 10 times after that in the following year and before the criminal case was filed, evidence that the three phone call made to Gill in 2004 that form the basis of the telecommunications complaint were legitimate, Montgomery, and her Black sit-in- lawyer- of- a- judge named Fred Crosby, would not dismiss the case, and used it to further harass her.

A police report of perjury filed by Coleman against Gill after trial was ignored by a handpicked special prosecutor, data show, and in spit of its validity.

Coleman subsequently sued the city of Beachwood and others for malicious prosecution, among other claims, and the case was handed to then common pleas judge Tim McGinty, the current Cuyahoga County prosecutor ousted in last week's democratic primary election. Coleman said that McGinty would approve extensions and what ever attorneys for the defendants wanted, and that he got her alone in his office and threatened her. He then dismissed the case erroneously and tried to make Coleman pay Gill, who is White, which was moot where it requires a separate lawsuit.

McGinty, the community activists says, has been stalking her along with police and judges Montgomery and O'Donnell ever since.

Data show that McGinty even filed an illegal pleading before O'Donnell in the 12-year litigation on Coleman' home, which is still pending, and O'Donnell, in turn, refused to allow Coleman to continue to represent herself, part of his scheme to try and steal the home for nothing.

Coleman said that in addition to O'Donnell's sexually harassment in the 12-year stalker litigation, both him and McGinty have had police follow her around town and that she has been repeatedly arrested via racial profiling and stalking by police in various jurisdictions, cases such as she failed to give her name as passenger, a lie she says. And in one particular case her then lawyer, Wayne Kerek, lured her out to Middleburg Heights and police were waiting to stalk her, she says, and followed the car.Since then she has been harassed she says, by racist and corrupt Berea Municipal Court Judge Mark Comstock and visiting judge commissioned by the Ohio Supreme Court, a court angry over House Bill 216, a bill proposed by state Rep Bill Patmon (D-10) and pushed by Coleman and community activists that would require the random draw assignment and reassignment of Ohio trial court judges in multi-judge courts.

Coleman said that the harassment is also due in part to her activism as to violence against women, including the Imperial Avenue Murders of 11 Black women on Imperial Avenue in Cleveland by now death row inmate Anthony Sowell, who is seeking a new trial in the case.

"This judicial, police and other harassment has been a nightmare,"said Coleman, "And I need the harassment to stop."

O'Donnell is also the judge who last year acquitted former Cleveland police officer Michael Brelo of manslaughtercharges for gunning down two unarmed Blacks in 2012 while slinging 49 bullets. And he is a Democratic candidate for an open seat on the Ohio Supreme Court.

"The last thing we need is for Judge O'Donnell to win a seat on the Ohio Supreme Court when he should be in prison for gross and documented housing theft, hate crimes against women and the Black community, Civil Rights violations, and other illegalities."

Press conference March 20 by Cleveland Councilman TJ Dow against Cleveland Clinic's $100 million project, though Dow agrees to it five days later.....By www.clevelandurbannews.com

Dear Community/Community Activists/Media

This is relative to the conflict between Cleveland Ward 7 Councilman T.J. Dow (pictured above), with support from Ward 7 residents and community activists, and the Cleveland Clinic and Case Western Reserve University as to a proposed $100 million apartment complex and hotel project in Ward 7 near the Cleveland Clinic. Dow says that the Cleveland Clinic needs to give back to the Black community in Hough, one of the city's poorest neighborhoods, including a resource center. Advocates of the project, including the Plain Dealer Newspaper, say the project itself is enough. It is not. Dow replaced the late Ward 7 Councilwoman Fannie Lewis and she would have demanded same. (Editor's note: Councilman Dow agreed to the project five days later, saying he got some concessions for his Black constituents in the impoverished Ward 7).

Mayor Frank Jackson, whom we support for now for firing several of the cops at to the 137 shots regarding the 2012 police ambush of unarmed Blacks Malissa Williams and Timothy Russell, who were gunned down by 13 non Black Cleveland cops slinging 137 bullets, supports the project, as does west side Cleveland City Council President Kevin Kelley. We will support the mayor while asking that he and Cleveland City Council demand more of the Cleveland Clinic for the larger community, and the Black community in general. And in 2017, in which the mayor's office is up for grabs, Black community activists want a Black to lead the largely Black city of Cleveland, whether its Jackson, Nina Turner, councilmen Jeff Johnson, Zack Reed and Kevin Conwell, or state Rep Bill Patmon (D-10). The reason, in part, is that Blacks in general should lead a Black city.

Dow, who is Black and a former assistant county prosecutor who came up under community activists, will hold a press conference on the issue on Sunday, March 20, 2016 at 2;30 pm at 79th Street and Hough Avenue with the Ward 7 Advisory Council. He is a strong advocate for his ward and the Black community and community activists will not permit any further harassment of him.

I can say that in 2008 I wrote an article published in the Call and Post Newspaper as to the Cleveland Clinic not giving enough back to Ward 6, and its response was removed from the article per George Forbes, the newspaper's legal counsel, who said then that the Cleveland Clinic has not done enough for Blacks. I ended up in the county jail where I was held naked in a jail cell and held in the county jail for four days without charges, the article of which was at issue as was housing, and a one-on-on Call and Post interview with then presidential candidate Barack Obama, among other matters.

After inmates got upset I was taken out on the fourth day by Mayfield Hts police and driven around in handcuffs and told that I would be put in a mental institution if I did not cooperate. The police that held me captive said to tell Call and Post publisher Don King to back-off and called the Cleveland Clinic for advice. I was released without charges via support from retired judge Sara Harper, then my attorney, who came and got me out. But the damage was done, and the harassment continues.

Nonetheless, the issue of the Cleveland Clinic and whether it is giving enough back to the Black community for its projects remains and community activists support Dow in demanding a resource center and other amenities in his neighborhood. If the project cost $100 million they can find monies for this poor inner city community in Ward 7. And the Plain Dealer should not attack Dow for seeking such. We urge activists, Black elected officials, Black clergy and the Black community in general to demand more from the Cleveland Clinic, a renowned medical institution supported in general for its achievements. The Cleveland Clinic can afford to do right by Cleveland's impoverished Black community and its children.
