New York. Une femme, un homme et deux landeaux. Michelle Thomas, un petit bout de femme de 1m54 aux cheveux court et au rire franc, et Michael D., un acteur au teint hâlé, projettent à permière vue l’image de parents traditionnels. L’histoire que le couple s’apprête à partager avec la quarantaine de personnes présente en ce mercredi soir de fin juin dans une salle du centre pour gays et lesbiennes de New York, n’a pourtant rien de classique. Michael D. est homosexuel. Il a dépensé au total 100 000 dollars (103 000 francs) pour avoir Dimitri et Ioanna, les jumeaux mis au monde il y a trois mois par Michelle Thomas.

La femme de 37 ans est avocate commise d’office dans le Dakota du Sud. Divorcée, elle élève seule Jacob, son fils de 6 ans et demi. “Je voulais de nouveau être enceinte mais ne souhatais plus élever un autre enfant dans ma situation, explique-t-elle. J’ai donc décidé de devenir mère porteuse”.

Michelle Thomas ne souhaite pas dévoiler combien sa maternité pour Michael D. lui a rapporté, mais affirme que le prix était conforme à ceux “du marché”. A l’heure actuelle, une mère porteuse gagne entre 25 000 et 30 000 dollars pour une première grossesse aux Etats-Unis. L’avocate l’avoue: cette rémunération a rendu la démarche intéressante. “Mais par rapport à ce que j’ai dû endurer, ce n’est pas énorme, explique-t-elle. J’ai dû me faire des injections quotidiennes dans le ventre pendant six mois avant de tomber enceinte. J’ai perdu le premier bébé et ai finalement accouché par césarienne”.

Quand il raconte la fausse couche, Michael D. se met à pleurer. “C’était horrible, mais je me dis qu’il y a une raison à tout ce qui arrive” lâche-t-il. A ses côtés, la jeune femme parle de son sentiment de culpabilité: “Contractuellement, Michael avait le droit à deux autres tentatives et j’avais peur que le problème se reproduise, glisse-t-elle. J’ai même appelé une voyante”. “Pour ma part, j’étais confiant car nous avions la Mercedes des embryons”, ajoute Michael D.

L’acteur explique avoir cherché des ovules sur internet: “Je voulais ceux d’une femme diplômée d’une grande école. Je les ai payés 20 000 dollars, soit le double du prix de marché”. Ces ovules ont ensuite été fécondés in vitro par le sperme de Michael D. et Michelle Thomas a reçu les embryons âgés de 5 jours. Le couple s’était rencontré par le biais de Circle Surrogacy, une agence basée à Boston. “Nous passons beaucoup de temps à étudier les profils des mères porteuses et ceux de nos clients”, assure Ron Poole-Dayan, responsable du marketing chez Circle Surrogacy.

Michael D. le reconnaît: toutes les expériences ne sont pas aussi heureuses que la sienne: “J’espère que vous aurez de la chance de tomber sur une femme aussi intelligente que Michelle”, lance-t-il à la vingtaine de couples gays qui assistent à la réunion. En fin d’année dernière, une mère porteuse de Floride a par exemple remporté sa bataille légale contre un couple hétéroseuxel qui l’avait engagée et utilisé ses ovules. Et c’est finalement elle qui a obtenu la garde du bébé.

Trois mois après la naissance de Dimitri et Ioanna, Michael D. et Michelle Thomas continuent à s’appeler régulièrement. “Nous ne sommes pas une famille, mais sommes liés, explique le père des jumaux. C’est important car je pourrai dire un jour à mes enfants d’où ils viennent”. De son côté, la mère porteuse pense sérieusement à “louer son ventre” une nouvelle fois.

Dallas. When Charles Chatman (photo Justin Goode) woke up from his long nightmare, the world had changed. He had never seen a cell phone. He did not know what Internet was. He did not remember how to use a knife to eat. In his cell, the African-American who had been wrongly convicted of rape in 1981 and sentenced to 99 years in prison, watched more than 9800 days slowly go by. For 27 years, the inmate was identified by a number – 324559- rather than by his name.

Charles Chatman was freed on January 3 2008 after being exonerated by a DNA test and his name was cleared on February 27. The 47-year old African-American is the 15th DNA exoneree in Dallas County in the last 7 years. The 5-foot-9 man built like a rock, is the symbol of a troubled justice system now under an extensive review. Craig Watkins, the new District Attorney in Dallas County, launched an investigation into 400 closed cases to determine if DNA testing should be granted to the inmates.
At the time of his arrest in 1981, Charles Chatman could not afford a lawyer. “The DA offered me a 12-year sentence if I agreed to plead guilty”, Mr Chatman says softly, sitting in the living-room of the apartment he is renting in a Dallas suburb. “But I would not accept even that because I was innocent. And at the time, I was still trusting the legal system to an extent”.

Mr Chatman was 21 years old when he was was arrested for the rape of 52-year old Madalaine Magin. He was black, she was white. He had an alibi – he helped his sister clean restaurants the night of the crime – but could not prove it. At the time, he was on four years’ probation for a 1978 residential burglary conviction. The rape victim identified him from a photographic lineup and then from a live one.

A short time after he turned down the plea bargain, he was convicted to 99 years in prison. “A black man had committed a crime against a white person and all they wanted was the conviction of a black man, he says. They did not care who it was”.

In prison, Charles Chatman first claimed he was innocent to whoever would listen to him. On at least three occasions, the parole board denied his release because he refused to apologize or admit to a crime. “They wanted to know my version of the crime and I told them I didn’t have a version, I didn’t do it,” Chatman said. “They thought I was being disrespectful.”

”After a while I just quit telling people I did not do it”, he says without a hint of bitterness in his voice. “I tried to hide that I had been convicted of rape, because when you go to prison as a rapist - and especially if the victim is a child or, as in my case, an older woman -, you are in trouble. And even the thought of this crime disgusted me.”

Mr Chatman picked fights. He says he was “not comfortable with the nature of the crime” he had convicted of and let the relationship with his family “fade away”. He stopped returning letters and just had a nephew visiting him. “I am very grateful because he made a lot of sacrifices to come and see”, Mr Chatman says.

Things started to change in 2000. A woman started to write to him and to help him with his case. Then, in the spring of 2001, as he was in solitary confinement, he says he had a revelation. “God told me he had another plan for me”, Mr Chatman adds. “The voice told me I was going to get free”. The exoneree recalls he had read a story in the paper “about a guy called Pope”, who had been freed thanks to a DNA testing. “I felt my case fitted the conditions required for such a test”, Mr Chatman recalls. “But I had to apply four times before my motion was granted”.

Judge John Creuzot is the man who had determined that Mr Chatman’s request had merit. Sitting in a conference room in his court, the judge says he just had a feeling about Charles Chatman: “There was something about him”, Mr Creuzot says. “You hear a lot of inmates claim that they are innocent. But Mr Chatman had this calm demeanor. That is when I first thought that he maybe was the victim of a real bad tragedy”. The judge says he did what the law required him to do. He appointed a lawyer and when the attorney did not deliver, Mr Creuzot replaced him with Michelle Moore, a public defender with the Innocence Project.

Previous DNA tests had been inconclusive and Mr Chatman knew that this last test would destroy little genetic matter left from the crime. “I asked him: “Are you sure you want to do it?””, John Creuzot says. “If the test showed it was him, I told him I would have to communicate the results to the parole board and it would make a future release improbable”. Charles Chatman said he was ready.

There was another problem. The inmate could not afford the cost of the test. Judge Creuzot decided to pay for it on his court budget. “I just wanted to get this done”, Mr Creuzot says. “If Mr Chatman was innocent, I did not want to keep him behind bars”. On January 2 2008, the tests confirmed that Mr Chatman could not have committed the rape for which he has served almost 27 years in prison. “He was so shocked, he did not know what to do”, Mr Creuzot says. “I told him he was going to walk out free. I then called the sheriff to tell him I owed Mr Chatman a steak lunch. I ordered the largest piece of meat I could find. But when he sat down to eat his lunch, he had forgotten how to use a fork and a knife. I cad to cut his steak for him”.

In Carrollton, a Dallas suburb, Charles Chatman got his license and now spends his days driving his new black truck. He found an apartment and lives thanks to the donations of his family and friends. The scar is still wide open. “When I was set free, I was just apologized to”, Mr Chatman says. “But nobody made sure I had somewhere to go”.

Now, he works with the Innocence Project to help others who have been released but have no one to turn to. On April 1, Mr Chatman went with Craig Watkins to ask Dallas County commissioners to fund a DNA evidence review team for two more years. The county agreed to pay more than 800,000 for the salaries of two attorneys, an investigator and a paralegal.

Three months after his release from prison, Mr Chatman is still adjusting. “The other day, I met a guy at my local Starbucks”, he says almost shyly. “We started chatting and he told me he had a story in the papers about an inmate who had spent 27 years behind bars for something he had not done. I kind of smiled but I did not tell him I was the guy. I don’t know why”.

As Texas incarcerates, Dallas exonerates

His name is Mike Ware. The man sitting behind his desk on the top floor of the Dallas courthouse, is the head of the district attorney’s conviction integrity unit. The former lawyer was hired last year by Craig Watkins, the Dallas DA, to look at 400 closed cases, where inmates had requested post-conviction DNA testing but did not get any. The law was changed in Texas in 2001 to recognize DNA testing. But it is up to judges to decide if they grant the motions or not.

Her name is Michelle Moore. She is a public defender and she works closely with Mike Ware while he is conducting the evidence review. Both Mr Ware and Mrs Moore try to reach an agreement on who could be granted DNA testing. “We are looking at the biogical evidence”, Mr Ware says. “Some of the inmates want us to test the bullets for DNA”.

Dallas County has the highest rate of DNA exonerations in the U.S. “There is a real simple explanation”, judge Creuzot says. “The police lab here kept all the samples instead of destroying them after a conviction. It is unusual”.

Since he started his new job last Summer, Mike Ware has already looked at a third of the cases. “What we are doing here in Dallas, forces Texas lawmakers to admit that there is a problem with our justice system”, he says. “All the inmates who have been exonerated had one thing in common: they were poor”.

Dallas County set an example in Texas that others have been slow to follow. In the Lone Star State, the number of people behind bars has grown by 300% in the last 20 years to reach 172,000 inmates. Texas holds another record: in the last 7 years, 30 people have been exonerated there, according to the Innocence Project. It is more than any other State in the U.S.

Democratic lawmakers tried to change the law last year. They wanted to create an Innocence Commission to study where the system went wrong. Judge Creuzot, Mike Ware and Michelle Moore all support the idea. “We have to make sure the system has integrity, even if it is years later”, says Mr Creuzot. Despite this support coming from Dallas County, the Texas parliament let the bill die last year.

Rafael Anchia, a Democratic State Representative, plans to try to revive the bill next year. “We want to try to institute the best practices in the State of Texas to prevent innocent people from ending up in jail”, Mr Anchia says.

Rio de Janeiro. The man holds a grenade in his hand. Around him, young men cruise around on motorbikes showing off their guns and laughing loudly. Police cars patrol the main road of Cidade de Deus 500 feet away, but here, at the end of a small street, drug dealers rule. The man with haggard eyes nervously asks questions. Don and Mingau (Picture Jean-Cosme Delaloye), two rappers from the lower-class neighborhood located in the Western zone of Rio de Janeiro, reassure him and he finally lets them go through.

Don and Mingau resume their walk toward a skate ramp on a desert square. “At night, it is dangerous here because there are a lot of shootings but during the day, it is ok” says Michel Fernades aka Don. The 37-year old rapper and his friend Mingau are well-known figures in the slum, where they live and work.

Violence, drugs, music. In 2002, the film City of God, conveyed these images of the neighborhood built in the 1960s. Rio de Janeiro still suffers from urban violence. From January to September 2007, 1300 people were killed by the police in Rio de Janeiro, an increase of 60% compared to 2006. On April 3rd, Brazilian police killed at least 11 suspected drug gang members in a raid on two Rio de Janeiro slums, a police official said. About 150 police entered the favelas in the west of the city in an attempt to arrest the suspected leader of a drug gang controlling the area.

“Violence is a reality in the slums, says Don. But violence has subsided and is only a small part of Cidade de Deus is about. Our community is vibrant. The majority of people here work hard to make it out of the slum. There are also many social initiatives to help young people. Mingau for instance teaches break dance”. In their lyrics, Don and Mingau convey a message of hope and opportunities.

On March 7, Brazilian president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva launched a new infrastructure project to improve the living conditions in the slums. The nearly $700 million program aims to take control of slums by creating thousands of jobs and by granting land titles to residents of some of the 752 favelas of Rio de Janeiro.

Cidade de Deus is not included in the project. For Rodrigo Silveira, a 28-year old professor of judo who spent all his life in the neighborhood, it is a “political decision”. This does not prevent the young man from admiring Lula, a man he describes as the “people’s president”. “Our living conditions improved a lot in the last few years”, he says.

Cidade de Deus was technically not a real favela, since it was originally a public housing community designed to replace a favela. But after years of neglect, it subsequently took on many of the very social features of favelas. The neighborhood is split in two halves by a highway. On one side, run-down apartment buildings provide affordable housing to lower class families. Don and Mingau live on the other side, on the “favela side” with its self-constructed and precarious houses.

It was on this side that Michelle Silva Lima, a 27-year old cleaning lady, was killed by mistake by the police on March 5th, while she was doing her laundry at home. This innocent death sparked an outcry among the people of Cidade de Deus who demonstrated against the police’s actions.

This cohabitation of violence and hope is visible in Cidade de Deus. One can see a young boy carrying a gun wrapped up in plastic bag, play basketball. A few blocks away, Marco Vinicius, 14-year old son of a mechanic, and Victor Hugo, 13, talk about their hopes. Both teenagers say they love their neighborhood but dream of leaving it one day. Marcos would like to become a footballer while Victor Hugo’s goal is to become a professor of mathematics.

Don and Mingau claim they do not want to leave Cidade de Deus even if they become famous one day. “Here, I can make an impact on young people’s lives”, says Don. “Cidade de Deus is my culture”. On the hill above him, a large writing on a wall claims that “Jesus is the truth”.

Deadly outbreak of dengue fever hits Rio de Janeiro

A deadly outbreak of dengue fever has killed at least 80 people in Rio de Janeiro and plunged the city into a deep health crisis. The current dengue strain is considered more lethal than the virus responsible for an epidemic in 2002, which had been the worst in recent history in Brazil, according to Rio’s health secretary.The spreading epidemic has shown no signs of slowing. Since January, 75,399 people have been infected in Rio state, health officials said. The mortality rate is more than three times higher than during the 2002 epidemic, which killed 91 people.

Rio de Janeiro, 25 March 2008. Name: Rodrigo Nogueira (photo Jean-Cosme Delaloye). Age: 26 years old. Occupation: journalist. Ambition: to change the image of the Rio de Janeiro slums in Brazil and in the rest of the world. In the last 7 years, the Viva Favela website has been covering the favelas (slums) of Rio de Janeiro to try to report about other news than the ones available in mainstream media. Rodrigo Nogueira says his team gives a voice to the people of the slums. “There is so much more than violence in the favelas, he says. There is a rich culture life and incredible people in the slums”.

The young journalist who grew up in a middle-class neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro, joined Viva Favela a year ago. Last month, he covered the death of Michelle Silva, a 27-year old woman who lived in Cidade de Deus and who was killed by mistake by the police on March 5. “We have been working for the past seven years in the slums”, Mr Nogueira says. “We have more access than mainstream media because people there trust us. In the case of Mrs Silva, one of our correspondents put us in touch with the family of the victim. After speaking with us, the husband of Michelle Silva thanked us for having listened to him”.

Viva Favela is thw Internet portal of Viva Rio, Rio de Janeiro’s leading anti-violence NGO. Viva Rio runs free Internet-access centers, media and tech courses. It also has free job listings for favela residents. Unlike Mr Nogueira, most of the ten journalists and photojournalists come from the shantytowns and still live there. In the last few months, they started working with Jean-Jacques Fontaine, a Swiss journalist who provides a French adaptation of some of their stories.

Rodrigo Nogueira and his team aim to create a large community of favelas on the web and are now working on a 2.0. version of their website. But the outcome of the project will depend on their fundraising capabilities. “It is hard to find money”, admits Mr Nogueira. “As an NGO, we do not sell advertisement on the site. Right now, Viva Favela is financed by the Brazilian oil company Petrobras. If they decide one day to withdraw their support, the project would die. We have to try to become self-sufficient”.

On March 7 2008, Brazilian president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva launched a new infrastructure project to improve the living conditions in the slums. The nearly $700-million program aims to take control of slums by creating thousands of jobs and by granting land titles to residents of some of the 752 favelas of Rio de Janeiro.The Viva Favela journalists support these latest efforts by the Brazilian government to try to revive the slums but remain cautious. “It is a huge challenge”, says Renata Sequeira, a 22-year old reporter. “We should not deal with the slums as if they were not part of Rio de Janeiro. They are totally integrated”.

11 people killed in a police raid on Rio de Janeiro slums

11 suspected gang members were killed on April 3 in a raid on two Rio de Janeiro slums. According to the authorities, the police came under fire after entering Coreia and Vila Alianca, two slums in the western zone of Rio de Janeiro. The traffickers targeted by the raud apparently escaped. Seven people were arrested and the police confiscated two machine guns, a hand-grenade and three fake police uniforms as well as cocaine. Last year, 1300 people were killed by the police in Rio de Janeiro.

New York, March 31 2008. The man with the loop earring and the blue-tinted eyeglasses speaks emphatically. Sitting in his Manhattan office, Clarence Jones, one of Martin Luther King’s closest advisers and his former speechwriter, talks about the late reverend’s legacy in today’s America. In his new book What Would Martin Say?, Clarence Jones uses King’s life and speeches to discuss current issues such as race relations in the United States. When he speaks, Mr Jones waves his hands and does not hesitate to pause to find the right word, the right image. Racism has clearly left some scars on the 77-year old former lawyer. The man who loves Martin Luther King Jr like a brother and defends his role in contemporary American history, sees in Obama a presidential candidate who could improve race relations in America.

In his speeches, Barack Obama seems to have some similarities with Martin Luther King. Do you feel that way?
When Senator Obama gave a speech on March 18 in Philadelphia about race in response to the criticism about his association with his former pastor, reverend Jeremiah Wright, some things he said reminded of what Martin Luther King said. But let us be clear: Barack Obama is a politician giving a speech principally intended at that time to save his candidacy for the presidency of the United States. He wanted to prevent it from being derailed because of his association with reverend Wright (n.d.r.l. who among other things said “God Damn America”). Martin Luther King Jr was not speaking for himself. He was speaking on behalf of America. He was speaking on behalf on the people who believe that all men are created equal. In his so-called “I Have a Dream” speech, Martin Luther King Jr was really issuing a moral call to arms to America.

So what was the impact of Obama’s speech on race relations in America?
The great contribution senator Obama made, for which Martin Luther King would be proud of, is that he had the courage to walk into the national living-room of America and actually acknowledge and talk to the 800-pound gorilla of race relations that everybody else was afraid to talk about. Obama says: “Mr Gorilla, I want to build a new house for America in the 21st century. And the new house I am going to build does not have room for you, Mr Gorilla”. It is time to turn the page and to leave behind the legacy of slavery, segregation and institutional racism of the 20th century.

Is Barack Obama a new Martin Luther King Jr for you?
No. I don’t want people to say he is another Martin Luther King Jr. He is not. Martin Luther King Jr was unique. Who was like Beethoven or Einstein? Nobody. Barack Obama is a very able son of Africa and America. Probably one of the few politicians that can be authentically called African-American, because he is both African and American.

Many black people are afraid that if Obama is elected president, he is going to get killed like Martin Luther King. Is it hard to be black in America today?
Let me put it that way. The two most deeply embedded phenomena in the American experience, are 1/ race relations and 2/ violence. This country is a violent country. Even in its urban centers, a little bit of the frontier mentality used to settle the country survives. Violence is deeply embedded within the American psyche. And regrettably, there is a section of the American experience that believes you settle controversial political challenges by violence. I have heard a 65-year old African-American woman say to me she would like to vote for Barack Obama, because it would be like voting for her son. But she is going to vote for Hillary Clinton, because she thinks that if he is elected, he will get killed. That is scary.

What does it tell you about the state of race relations in America?
It tells me that black people feel very vulnerable. A substantial segment of black people has less confidence in America than Obama does have. He really believes that we are at a different turning point. He thinks people are speaking with their votes and are saying that it is time for Dr King’s dream to be realized. Other African-Americans ran for president before, but people did not think for one reason or another that they were deserving their votes or confidence. People believe that Obama gives them an opportunity finally to create an America in Dr King’s words, where a person will be judged by the content of their character and not the color of their skin.

What did you feel when your heard Clinton supporter Geraldine Ferraro say Obama was where he was because of the color of his skin?
Mrs Ferraro saw something she did not understand. Obama embodies the classic American success story that everybody can relate to. A young boy raised by his mother and his grandmother after his father deserted him. He went to an American school and graduated at the top of his class. Obama is the classic success story. So the reason people are voting is not the color of his skin but the fact his story resonates with them. His story is a microcosm of the America success story.

Before the South Carolina primary last January, Hillary Clinton said that “Dr King’s dream began to be realized when President Lyndon Johnson passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964”. The former first lady paid a huge price for this comment in the African-American community. Why?
Hillary Clinton failed to understand what African-American people understand instinctively. The only reason why Lyndon Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act, was because of the rising demands of the streets led by Martin Luther King Jr. Hillary Clinton made it seem as if the Voting Rights Act was a unilateral act of goodness on the part of Lyndon Johnson. No, no, no. Martin Luther King Jr made it possible. It was good to have a president who was smart enough to respond to the demands of the people but the demand did not come from Lyndon Johnson, it came from the followers of Martin Luther King. Africans-Americans know it. When they heard that remark, they took it as belittling Dr King’s legacy. Everybody in the African-American knows that Martin Luther King died for his people.

Obama said last month that race is a “a part in our union that we have yet to perfect”. Do you agree with that?
That is correct. It is about perfecting it. How are we perfecting it? We are going to build a new house. That’s the process of perfection.

Do you think his campaign is the answer to race relations in this country?
His campaign is not the answer, it is a process. It provides an opportunity. Why are people voting in droves? They are voting with pride. They are voting for Obama and are saying: “Dr King, we love you”.

What would Martin Luther King say about race relations in the U.S. today?
I think he would say that today regrettably America is still afflicted by a disease of amnesia. This amnesia prevents people from candidly talking about race as Barack Obama has done. It is the amnesia that says there is no gorilla in our living-room.

Is it harder to become president if you are a black man or a woman?
I think it is harder when you are black.

What is your dream for America?
My dream for America is that we will come together as one nation and transcend the legacy of slavery and segregation.

Clarence Jones, Joel Engel, What Would Martin Say?, Harper, 256 pages.

Would you describe this album as a classic Moby album?
Yes. The idea for the album was my neighborhood in New York, which has so many bars and so many clubs. I go out quite a lot. I wanted to try to recreate musically what it is like to go out in Lower Manhattan. I wanted to take the eight hours of a night out and condense it in 65 minutes. I was not worrying too much about trying to sound avant-garde or experimental. I just wanted to make a dance record that I enjoy listening to. Musically, New York is a very eclectic place, so I wanted that eclecticism to enter the record as well.

Did you really have 400 songs to choose from?
Every time I make a record, I write around 300-400 songs. There are all different types of songs. For this record, some of the songs were punk rock, some of them were funk, some were classical pieces of music, and some were dance songs. Once I decide what type of record I want to make, I focus on a few songs. I started this website called mobygratis.com and it basically gives free music away to independent filmmakers. Some of the music that didn’t make it onto the record goes onto this website. Some of the music will end up as B-sides. Some will be used in films. As the music business changes, there are lots of different ways you can put out music. In the old days, the only way to put out music was to put it onto records and distribute it. Now, if there is a piece of music I like, I can put it on my website and make it available for download.

What do you think of Radiohead putting up their latest album on the web for what you want to pay?
I like Radiohead but I think they did it for weird reasons. I think they did it as a marketing tool. Regardless of why they are doing it, I think that is very interesting. As time passes, more and more people just stop thinking about CDs. I hate to say this but I can’t remember the last time I bought a CD. If I buy music, I buy it online. When people look back at Radiohead’s decision to sell their record on the web, it might be seen as the last nail in the coffin of the compact disc.
