For more than 70 years the Hawthorne name was synonymous with delicious baked goods in St. Andrew, Jamaica. Norman Hawthorne made bread, buns and cakes from old family recipes and sold them from his home in the 1930s. He passed the family recipes to his son Ephraim, who opened Hawthorne & Sons Bakery in 1940, and provided authentic Jamaican delicacies until he retired in 2002. Ephraim, in turn, passed his baking legacy on to his son Lowell and his other eleven children. Lowell and his siblings Lauris, Lloyd, Velma, Milton and Jacqueline, emigrated to the United States in 1981 and, eight years later, brought the family’s concept to New York. They convened a family meeting with their spouses, pooled their resources and opened Golden Krust Bakery on East Gunhill Road in the Bronx, with Lowell as president and CEO.

When the Federal Communications Commission voted on June 2 to loosen media ownership limits, many of us were justifiably outraged. The new FCC rules, endorsed by the Bush administration, would permit television networks to buy more stations, and a single company to own up to three television stations, eight radio stations, a daily newspaper and a cable operator in the largest cities. Those cities, invariably, are home to large African-American populations.

I believe, to the depth of my heart, that there is no job in the State Department that is unimportant. I believe that everybody has a vital role to play, and it is my job to communicate and convey, down through every layer to the last person in the organization, the valuable role that they are performing and how what they do contributes to the mission.
