Mornings on the Hill for April 29, 2022

NEW RESEARCH REVEALS -BLACK WOMEN ARE TWO TIMES MORE LIKELY TO HAVE A PREMATURE BABY THAN WHITE WOMEN-WHAT’S BEING DONE TO SOLVE THIS ALARMING TREND.
THE UNTOLD STORIES OF THE ETHNIC MINORITY HMONG COMMUNITY FROM LAOS..INCLUDING A PERSONAL STORY FROM OUR OWN PA-ZONG LEE.
AND SOMETIMES GROWING UP BEGINS WITH A HANDSHAKE-
JAMES KATTATO SHARES HOW THE CAZENOVIA COLLEGE MEN’S BASKETBALL
COACH MENTORS YOUNG MEN IN THE SIMPLEST WAYS,
AND TO CLOSE OUT OUR TIME ON MORNINGS ON THE HILL, WE SHARE OUR
FAVORITE MEMORIES FROM THIS SEMESTER.
COMING UP ON MORNINGS OF THE HILL.
GOOD MORNING. I’M KATIE HOPSICKER… THANKS FOR JOINING US FOR MORNINGS ON THE HILL.
AND I’M JACK WALLACE… WE START TODAY WITH THE REPORT OF A SEXUAL ASSAULT NEAR CAMPUS AND THE LATEST FROM D-P-S.
WE STILL KNOW VERY LITTLE ABOUT AN ALLEGED SEXUAL ASSAULT NEAR CAMPUS AS WE HEAD INTO A VERY BUSY PARTY WEEKEND.
IT HAPPENED IN THORDEN PARK ON TUESDAY. D-P-S SAYS A MAN GRABBED THE ALLEGED VICTIM AND TOLD THE STUDENT NOT TO SCREAM BECAUSE HE HAD A WEAPON.
D-P-S SAYS IT HAPPENED NEAR THE AMPHITHEATER AROUND 8:30 AT NIGHT.
THEY SAY THE SUSPECT-” FORCIBLY TOUCHED” THE STUDENT THEN RAN AWAY.
THE SYRACUSE POLICE DEPARTMENT IS INVESTIGATING WITH CAMPUS D-P-S.
ALL WE KNOW RIGHT NOW IS THE SUSPECT IS A MAN AROUND 40 YEARS OLD WHO WAS WEARING A BLACK SWEATSHIRT AND BLACK SKI MASK
THIS ALLEGED ASSAULT ADDS ON TO THE LIST OF RECENT CRIME ON CAMPUS.
THERE HAVE SEVERAL BURGLARIES AND BREAK-INS AROUND EUCLID AVENUE AND SOUTH CAMPUS.
WITH BLOCK PARTY TONIGHT, GRADUATION CELEBRATIONS AND THE SUMMER PARTY SEASON STARTING UP, D-P-S SAYS TO NEVER WALK ALONE, BE ON HIGH ALERT, AND DOWNLOAD THE RAVE GUARDIAN APP.
FOR MORE SAFETY TIPS VISIT D-P-S-DOT-S-Y-R-DOT-E-D-U.
NATIONALLY, NEARLY TEN PERCENT OF BABIES ARE BORN PREMATURE.
HOWEVER, FOR THE BLACK COMMUNITY, THIS IS MORE THAN JUST A STATISTIC.
THIS IS BECOMING A DEATH SENTENCE. OUR OWN MIKHALAARMSTRONG TELLS US HOW ONE SYRACUSE HEALING CENTER BELIEVES THEIR WORK CAN CHANGE THAT.
ERIKA HAMILTON THOUGHT SHE HAD IT ALL WHEN SHE FOUND OUT SHE WAS PREGNANT.
BUT LIKE MILLIONS OF BLACK WOMEN WHO GIVE BIRTH , SHE HAD A HIGHER RISK OF DELIVERING EARLY…
I just wish people would tell the truth because when I had my miscarriage my waterbag was
there and it popped and it broke… and I was like so, is there a chance? and then the next day I
go to the doctors, and I didn’t hear my babies’ heartbeat
ACCORDING TO THE CDC, ABOUT 1 IN TEN BABIES ARE BORN PREMATURELY IN THE U-S.
BLACK WOMEN ARE TWICE AS LIKELY AS WHITE WOMEN TO GIVE BIRTH PREMATURELY.
AND BLACK WOMEN ARE 3 TO 4 TIMES MORE LIKELY TO DIE FROM BIRTH COMPLICATIONS.
THERE ARE WOMEN SPECIALLY TRAINED TO HELP THESE EXPECTANT MOTHERS.
THEY ARE
CALLED DOULA’S. MANY BLACK MOTHERS HAVE NOT HEARD OF THEM.
INSTEAD, THEY ARE LEFT IN THE CARE OF THEIR DOCTOR WHEN MANY
EXPECTING BLACK
MOTHERS DISTRUST DOCTORS.
THIS DISTRUST STEMS FROM DECADES OF CRUEL SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENTATION ON BLACK
PEOPLE AT THE HANDS OF WHITE DOCTORS. LIKE THE INFAMOUS 40-YEAR
TUSKEGEE SYPHILIS
STUDY. WHICH STUDIED 600 BLACK MEN IN RURAL ALABAMA BUT DIDN’T TELL
THEM WHAT
THEY WERE DOING OR GIVE THEM ANY TREATMENT. AND DIDN’T GET THEIR CONSENT.
RESEARCH SHOWS THIS EXPERIMENT GOES BEYOND THOSE MEN BUT AFFECTS
HOW BLACK
PEOPLE FEEL ABOUT THE MEDICAL SYSTEM.
If it’s not the patient themselves that experienced a negative experience with the health care
system, its someone they know, a relative, a loved one, and it just kind of spirals”
DR. ELKAFRAWI OF UPSTATE MEDICAL HOSPITAL FOUND THE BIRTH RATE GAP COMES FROM
Page 2
NEIGHBORHOOD WEALTH, STRESS, ACCESS TO PRENATAL CARE, AND RACISM IN
THE MEDICAL
SYSTEM. ELKAFRAWI IS AN EXPECTING MOTHER HERSELF AND SAYS PATIENTS MUST SPEAK UP.
You have to be concerned when X, Y, Z happens, you have to go to the hospital regardless of what a nurse on the phone will tell you, or anybody really, if you’re feeling this way you have to really just go, you have to really tell patients to start advocating for themselves.
THE C-D-C SAYS EXPECTING MOTHERS SHOULD TALK TO DOCTORS IF ANYTHING DOESN’T FEEL
RIGHT, DOCUMENT MEDICAL VISITS, AND MAINTAIN HEALTHCARE AND SOCIAL
SUPPORT
SYSTEMS DURING AND AFTER PREGNANCY LIKE A DOULA.
ERIKA HAMILTON’S JOURNEY TO MOTHERHOOD DID NOT END AFTER HER
MISCARRIAGE. SHE
BECAME PREGNANT AGAIN. DOCTORS TOLD HER SHE HAD A HIGH RISK OF
DELIVERING
PREMATURELY. SHE WAS DETERMINED TO CARRY FULL TERM. SHE DID. WITH THE HELP OF
HER DOULA, WHICH SHE FOUND HERE AT SANKOFA HEALING CENTER.
You get pregnant, you do this, you go to the hospital, you have your baby, and that’s it… and it
is so much more than that
LEEANDRA TORRENCE, A DOULAAT SANKOFA HEALING CENTER, DOES MORE FOR
EXPECTANT
MOTHERS THAN DELIVER BABIES.
AS A DOULA SHE SUPPORTS MOTHER’S BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER THE BIRTHING PROCESS.
MOTHER’S IN NEED ARE GIVEN DIAPERS, BABY CLOTHES, BOTTLES AND WIPES
FOR FREE TO
HELP AFTER DELIVERY.
TORRANCE SAYS DOULA’S BUILD TRUST EXPECTING MOTHER’S NEED.

Educating them on their rights and letting them know that they can say no to certain things, because a lot of women believe that they can’t or don’t have a voice when they’re in the hospital or things like that. We’re here to really give them a voice and educate, so they have that good birthing experience”
HAMILTON DID HAVE A GOOD BIRTHING EXPERIENCE WITH A DOULA BY HER SIDE
TO ANSWER
ANY QUESTIONS.
SHE GAVE BIRTH TO HER DAUGHTER IMANI IN JULY OF 2017. NATURAL AND FULL TERM. JUST
LIKE SHE WANTED.
HAMILTON SAYS WITH THE HELP OF A DOULA, MORE SUCCESS STORIES LIKE
HERS CAN BE
POSSIBLE FOR OTHER BLACK WOMEN…
AND IT STARTS WITH WORD OF MOUTH
FOR MORNINGS ON THE HILL, I’M MIKHALAARMSTRONG. SANKOFA HEALING CENTER OFFERS DOULAS, WELLNESS PROGRAMS, AND EDUCATION TO MAKE SURE EXPECTING MOTHERS LIKE ERIKA HAMILTON ARE NOT LEFT WITHOUT SUPPORT. I’M MIKHALAARMSTRONG, BACK TO YOU. THE COUNTDOWN IS ON. THERE ARE ONLY TWO WEEKS UNTIL GRADUATION. THIS IS VIDEO FROM SPRING 20-19 COMMENCEMENT. THIS YEAR WE ARE BACK TO A FULL-ON CELEBRATION WITHOUT MASKS AT THE DOME. S-U WILL GIVE OUT FOUR HONORARY DEGREES AT THE UPCOMING CEREMONY, AS WELL AS TWO DOCTOR OF HUMANE LETTERS DEGREES. GRADUATION WEEKEND IS FULL OF EVENTS WITH THE NEWHOUSE CEREMONY ON SATURDAY, MAY 14, AND THE ALL-SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT HAPPENING ON SUNDAY THE 15TH . WE ARE NEAR THE END OF ASIAN AMERICAN PACIFIC ISLANDER HERITAGE MONTH ON CAMPUS… BUT AS WE HEAD INTO MAY IT’S THE ACTUAL MONTH THAT THE U-S CELEBRATES IT. OUR PA-ZONG LEE TELLS THE UNTOLD STORY OF A COMMUNITY THAT HAS BEEN HIDDEN FROM HISTORY.
Usually when I say I’m Hmong they have no idea what that is
THE HMONG COMMUNITY AND ITS HISTORY HAS GONE WIDELY UNKNOWN TO AMERICA. THIS DOESN’T HELP VANESSA LEE WHO HAS STRUGGLED ALL HER LIFE WITH HER HMONG IDENTITY.
A part of my identity definitely feels lost.
WHILE GROWING UP IN A PRE-DOMINANTLY WHITE NEIGHBORHOOD IN SYRACUSE… NO ONE KNEW WHAT HMONG WAS.
It always used to be like a game… like a guessing game. Its like… whats your race and im just like guess… and in my head… i know that they’re not gonna get it and they name every other Asian race. And I’m just like… it’s not me… and then I say Hmong and they’re just like well whats Hmong?
WHAT PEOPLE DON’T KNOW IS THAT THE HMONG PEOPLE ARE A HIDDEN PART OF US HISTORY.
THEY ARE AN ETHNIC MINORITY FROM SOUTHEAST ASIA WHO WERE ROPED INTO
A US-INVOLVED WAR. THE CIA SECRETLY ENTERED LAOS IN 1961 TO PREVENT THE SPREAD OF COMMUNISM… AND SO THE SECRET WAR BEGAN.
So instead of using American troops in the country of laos … they trained the Hmong to fight as surrogate soldiers of the american armed forces.

XIONG SAYS THAT AFTER CONGRESS FOUND OUT ABOUT THE WAR… THEY
STOPPED THE FUNDING FOR THE OPERATION. THE CIA PULLED OUT OF LAOS.
THE COMMUNIST FACTION TOOK OVER AND THE HMONG PEOPLE WERE NOW SEEN AS THE ENEMIES.
During the war… 30 thousand or so Hmong were captured… killed… or missing. And after the war its estimated over 50 thousand people died trying to escape the country of Laos into Thailand as refugees.
THIS IS THE MEKONG RIVER… WHERE MANY HMONG PEOPLE DIED WHILE
CROSSING INTO THAILAND FOR THE CAMPS. MY PARENTS WERE ONLY KIDS
RUNNING FOR THEIR LIVES THROUGH LAOS. MY GRANDMOTHER LOST THREE CHILDREN… ONE OF WHICH THEY HAD TO LEAVE IN THE JUNGLE AFTER BEING BORN FOR ONLY A FEW HOURS.
VANESSA AND I ARE A TESTAMENT OF OUR FAMILIES’ SURVIVAL.
TODAY MY HOME STATE OF MINNESOTA HAS THE LARGEST URBAN HMONG POPULATION… BUT SYRACUSE ONLY HAS A HANDFUL.
Probably less than 20 families…so yeah… so now its just the Lees and the Vangs… thats it… the two clans. Its really hard to keep a tradition when you dont have any of that stuff going on
THERE ARE SMALL WAYS WHERE THE LEE FAMILY CONTINUES THE HMONG CULTURE. COOKING AND DISPLAYING HMONG STORY CLOTHS… OR PA-THOW IN HER HOME. THEY TELL THE STORY OF THE HMONG PEOPLE.
My parents… and you know my great grandparents thats what they did back in the day in their country. I mean harvesting weed and rice and yeah…
VANESSA LOVES WHEN HER MOM COOKS HMONG FOOD AND EVEN WANTS TO
Page 4
LEARN THE LANGUAGE.
I love the language… i feel like the language is something i can work on
WHICH XIONG HOPES YOUNGER GENERATIONS WILL KEEP ALIVE.
The language is the most important piece because if you lose the language… you lose the culture… you lose the culture… you lose the history… you lose the history… you lose your identity. WHILE VANESSA PLANS TO DEEPEN HER CONNECTION TO THE HMONG CULTURE… XIONG HOPES THAT SCHOOLS AND UNIVERSITIES CONTINUE TO ADD THE HMONG HISTORY TO THEIR PROGRAMS. THIS WAY… PEOPLE CAN LEARN ABOUT THE HMONG PEOPLE AND BRING THEIR HISTORY TO LIGHT. IN SYRACUSE… I’M PA-ZONG LEE… MORNINGS ON THE HILL. NOW TO THE WAR IN UKRAINE AND A CAMPUS WIDE EFFORT TO SEND HELP. ALAINA LOSITO IS AT SCHINE STUDENT CENTER TO TELL US HOW WE CAN HELP. HEY! HAVE YOU SEEN THESE BOXES ON AND AROUND CAMPUS? HERE YOU PLACE DONATIONS LIKE THIS. THESE ARE VERY IMPORTANT AND CAN CHANGE THE LIVES OF PEOPLE SUFFERING IN UKRAINE. THESE BOXES ARE EVERYWHERE! THEY ARE IN EVERY BUILDING INCLUDING,
SORORITY HOUSES AND RESIDENCE HALLS, NEWHOUSE AND SCHINE-EVERY
BUILDING ON CAMPUS. YOU CAN LEAVE DONATIONS IN THESE BOXES THINGS
LIKE BANDAGES, NON-PERISHABLE FOOD, BLANKETS, AND MANY MORE ITEMS
THAT CAN CHANGE THE LIVES OF PEOPLE IN A WAR ZONE. YOU CAN ALSO SCAN A
Q-R CODE IF YOU WANT TO GIVE MONEY. THE STUDENT WHO STARTED THIS DRIVE, JILIAN SCHULTZ SENDS THESE PACKAGES DIRECTLY TO UKRAINE.
IF YOU HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A WAY TO HELP THE PEOPLE OF UKRAINE, THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO START. THIS IS A WAY TO HELP A PERSON JUST LIKE LUPA.
LIVE AT SCHINE, I’M ALAINA LOSITO, MORNIGS ON THE HILL. BACK TO YOU.
COVID RATES ARE INCREASING ON CAMPUS
THERE ARE 130 ACTIVE CASES TODAY. WE ARE STILL AT A CODE BLUE MASK LEVEL, AND MASKS ARE REQUIRED IN CLASS.
BUT NO MASKS ARE REQUIRED AT THE DOME FOR THE BLOCK PARTY CONCERT
TODAY AND AS OF NOW- IT APPEARS WE WILL NOT NEED MASKS DURING GRADUATION CEREMONIES EITHER.
WHEN YOU HEAR THE PHRASE, BE A MAN, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF?
REPORTER JAMES KATTATO, TELLS US HOW ONE LOCAL MAN IS WORKING TO REDEFINE THE MEANING.
OH THE FEELING OF BEING A KID AGAIN.. BUT THESE AREN’T ANY NORMAL KIDS..
NO THESE KIDS ARE EAGER TO LEARN
“Cause these people here, they’re teaching you a lot of good things. They’re not going to teach you anything wrong so you just take the advice.”
ADVICE FROM PEOPLE LIKE CAZENOVIA COLLEGE MENS BASKETBALL COACH,
JUSTIN STERN. SOME OF THESE KIDS WANT TO PLAY PRO BASKETBALL, BUT
STERN KNOWS THE WORK OFF THE COURT MATTERS JUST AS MUCH
“Think about games are your tests in school. Did you prepare, did you do anything, did you listen to prepare yourself for a test just like you prepare yourself for a game.”
“I want them to understand that just by putting yourself in the right surrounding, putting yourself in the right situation makes a big difference. It’s more than just playing college basketball, it’s about being a part of something and giving back.”
YOU KNOW IT TAKES A SPECIAL TYPE OF INDIVIDUAL TO BE ABLE TO GATHER 6TH
THROUGH 8TH GRADERS IN AN ELEMENTARY GYM AT H.W. SMITH SCHOOL AND
TALK TO THEM ABOUT WHAT IT REALLY MEANS TO GROW UP, BUT FOR ONE DAD,
THAT’S HOW THIS ALL STARTED. HE HAD A FOUR YEAR OLD SON AND HE
THOUGHT HE KNEW WHAT IT MEANT TO BE A MAN. AFTER HE WENT THROUGH A

DIVORCE, HE KIND OF HAD TO RE-EVALUATE THINGS A LITTLE BIT.
“There was points in my life where I felt there was no one I could talk to, no one I could really share this stuff with, and I want to provide that space where they can feel safe enough and talk to each other.”
SALIMO MUSA IS A FRESHMAN AT ONONDAGA COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND IS ONE
OF HORAN’S OLD STUDENTS. HE COMES BACK TO HELP OUT EVERY YEAR BECAUSE HE WANTS TO PASS ON THE TOOLS THAT HELPED MAKE HIM THE MAN HE IS TODAY.
“He’s telling them to shake their hand, hug each other, fix things. If there’s beef, settle it, or keep it to a minimum.”
SO HOW DOES SOMEONE BUILD MEN…”So who found my dollar?”MAYBE BY TAKING THE BOYS THROUGH EVERY ASPECT OF WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A MAN… LIKE THE LESSON OF THE DAY. “You found it?” THE DOLLAR DROPHORAN SAYS IT ONLY TOOK 30 SECONDS FOR SOMEONE TO PICK IT UP AND PUT IT IN THEIR POCKET.
“We did it on purpose to see what would happen. A little test of integrity.”
AND ALTHOUGH IT TOOK A FEW MINUTES.. “He gave it to him. He’s like, ‘here’. Now, Shemiya has been here before. He knew the experiment, so what’d you do? No I’m gonna give it right back to you I’m not going to get caught with it.”
THE INTENTION OF GIVING IT BACK WAS ALWAYS THERE.
“Could he not have said anything when he said ‘who took my dollar?’ Absolutely.” BUT HE DID. AFTER ALL, THAT’S WHAT A REAL MAN WOULD DO.
“They are worthy. They have every opportunity in front of them, and we need to help them go get that.”
SO, BOYS WILL BE BOYS,
BUT HORAN IS WORKING TO BUILD MEN.. EVERYDAY
“And so I appreciate you for that integrity.”
