Student members of YES (youth empowered in the struggle) told approximately 200 attendees of the importance of sustaining Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s “Dream.” YES hosted the 20th annual laying of the wreath ceremony held each year at the base of the statue at State St. and MLK Drive.
Carter says serving is why he’s running school reform and community policing, frequently using the term “accountability.” School administrators need to make sure our kids are being taught. “We cannot afford our students’ performance to
stagnate. Our kids are our future, they will carry the legacy of this great country forward,” he maintains. “We need to encourage our police officers to interact more with neighborhoods. And the city council needs to spend the taxpayer money more responsibly, it makes no sense to spend millions on remodeling City Hall and giving tax breaks to favored developers while turning street lights out on out most vulnerable citizens, he concluded.

For over 20 years, Darly Carter has served the public as a volunteer and as a community organizer. “I think my calling has always been to serve the people in this city, “ he said in a interview with the newspaper. Carter, 41, is a life long resident of Racine and is seeking to unseat Jim Kaplan, as alderman of the 4th District. The 4th District is bordered by English to the north, the lake to the east, Root river to the south and the east side of Martin Luther King to the west. “We’re the forgotten neighborhood,” Carter said. He believes that one of his priorities will be to work to bring businesses to the 4th District. “Businesses are leaving the district at an alarming rate. We need to promote a county and city partnership to retain the businesses we have, as well as recruit new ones to the area,” Carter asserts. He envisions Douglas Avenue as a hub for new small businesses in the 4th District. We already have a great infrastructure in place with several buildings open and ready to receive new tenants. Whenever Carter talks about issues concerning district residents, he includes

The documentary film “Pattern or Practice” premiered at Milwaukee’s Oriental Theater on Monday the 20th of January. The film’s producer, local businessman Jim Spodick, says he took on the project as a means of exposing corruption in Racine government, particularly in regard to minority owned bars and nightclubs. Approximately 250 people were in attendance and the film was enthusiastically received, despite its disturbing message that city government has practiced discrimination against minority liquor license holders. The evidence shown strongly supports that allegation, though elected officials vehemently deny it. Rather than offer facts to support that denial, however, they have attempted to cast a negative light on the producer and persons appearing in the film, which is entirely consistent with one of the tactics alleged in the movie. The “pattern” described in the movie consisted of connecting as many troubling incidents as possible to a targeted business to create a bad public image. This makes revocation of a liquor license far easier because citizens are supportive of eliminating “trouble spots” in their community. The discrimination became apparent when statistics revealed that only minority businesses were being closed while white owned bars, many with far worse police records, were allowed to remain open. Racine was once home to 28 minority owned bars and nightclubs. Now only six remain, and there is pressure being applied to some of those. The producer reports that “Pattern or Practice” has been accepted by a number of independent film festivals and is being submitted to several others. Future screenings of this film are being scheduled locally. For information about when and where you will Spodick has shown a willingness to make it available to interested groups on a shared revenue basis.

“The Dream” is still relevant today
Each year we pause to celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Nationally and internationally, people hear again his "I Have A Dream" speech, or read his “Letter from The Birmingham Jail,” or his acceptance speech after winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 1963. But do we really stop to hear the words, learn the circumstances that motivated such elegance in philosophy, literary resonance and civil liberties import? Dr. King's non-violence philosophy touched the hearts and strategies of many people throughout the world. Extracted from his studies of Mahatma Gandhi, the Indian spiritual giant who believed in justice for all regardless of their station in life. Dr. King preached that change requires pressure, diligence and resistance and the best way to initiate and ensure permanent change was through getting the attention of the oppressor and bringing pressure to bear where it would be felt most and acted upon most swiftly. Dr. King understood that economic, educational and racial equality was needed in the US. He knew these changes would not be won with guns, or wars, or subjugation of one people for the benefit of another. Rather, our country could only continue to grow and succeed when everyone was given the same rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, respected as inalienable rights and exercised so that every human being, regardless of color, creed, or national origin has equal access, equal opportunity and equal justice. His "dream" was attacked in his lifetime and it continues to be attacked today. While many laws have been enacted to support these constitutional rights, too many of the undergirdings that make
"The Dream" a realistic goal have been deferred...through laws and injustices that create and support vast disparities. Regrettably, our own refusal to take full advantage of everything that is available to us--by law, by birth and by expectation--have contributed to reversals in the gains we’ve made in the last 50 years. An old saying goes " you can lead a horse to water but you cannot make him drink.” This can never be something that categorizes our right to vote, our quest for good education, our love and respect for family and life, as well as the desire for upward mobility. These are rights duly earned and therefore worth marching for, even worth dying for. But black-on-black crime and violence, and a total disregard for life are not what Dr. King was dreaming of. Each generation has to build upon the achievements of the last. Each must pass the batons forward and ensure each runner in the race pass-on, so-to-speak, opportunities for a better life, a fuller opportunity and a legacy that exemplifies the life of Dr. King and all that he stood for and gave his life for. Current generations should re-read and re-commit to “The Dream” for his/her life, the life of his family and the life of his community and nation. For while things are not perfect and many injustices remain, we cannot afford to rest on the laurels of what should have been but what is; and what we still must do to promote, live and foster “The Dream” for generations to come. Many have captured his dream, and now live his dream. It was not thrust into their arms simply as a law but worked for, earned and secured by living
and working the laws that protect the dream. On this week of Dr. King’s birthday, let us not only see the images and read the speeches, and also put his dream into the context of when the speeches were written and how they should be interpreted and acted upon today. We must applaud his life, for it changed many laws and the perception of many people of color. But his dream can only live when we live a moral life. We have to stop the violence in our communities, we must decry the “violences” permitted through “stop and frisk” laws or “stand your ground” laws. We must elect talented, honest, justice-seeking officials. To do that, we have to vote. We must avail ourselves of good educations. It’s education that must remain the uppermost vehicle used for upward mobility and to our destination, the Black middle Class. Without education and the perpetuation of the attitude education is (mistakenly) not the vehicle for personal movement and growth, we will continue to doom future generations to institutionalized poverty. We must transfer our dreams to our children and continue to show them examples of those who have overcome....not because of the color of their skin, but inspite of their skin color. We must remind them that a dream is only possible when it becomes a reality....otherwise it remains a dream and that is not what Dr. King died for. Capture your dream and thank Dr. King for his work and sacrifice, for leaving us a legacy that is revered throughout the world. We must be the torchbearers who attest that his living was not in vain. Happy Birthday Dr. King!

It is time for the city to change and be fair to the minority community
Kenneth Lumpkin
I recently had the opportunity to view the documentary film “Pattern or Practice” which premiered at Milwaukee’s Oriental Theater on Monday the 20th of January. The film’s producer, local businessman Jim Spodick, says he took on the project as a means of exposing corruption in Racine government, particularly in regard to minority owned bars and nightclubs. He is to be commended for the
time, effort, and money he invested to get the message out about unfair treatment of minority businesses. The film highlights minority bars but notes that efforts have also been made to discourage other businesses that attract large number of Blacks and Hispanics from opening in the downtown area. In addition to three bars that cater to a minority clientele, city government recently went out of their way to keep an African American funeral home from moving into a downtown building. During the hearing, 4th District Alderman Jim Kaplan suggested that the Northwest Funeral Chapel abandon its attempt to purchase a building downtown and focus on a site at 718 N. Memorial Drive, in the inner-city. This practice is call racial steering. It refers to the practice in which a buyer is guided towards or away from certain neighborhoods based on their race. Time after time, the film documents and shows proof where minority business owners were treated differently than their white counterparts. Alderman Greg Helding, who is Chairman of the Public Safety &
Licensing Committee, has declared the notion that city government would discriminate against any minority group is "utterly false." But let's take a look at the facts. There are 128 places in Racine with a license to sell alcohol. Six or seven are African American owned. It is roughly 4% of the total. The minority population is close to 40% of the city and at one time there were 28 African American bars and nightclubs. - 89% of the establishments that had their licenses revoked or not renewed were minority owned. - 80% of the establishments referred to due process were minority owned. - 67% of the establishments that were referred to due process that actually had the hearing were minority owned. - 67% of the minority owned businesses had a hearing. - 33% of non-minority owned businesses actually had a hearing and none had their license and livelihood taken from them. The question that now arises, with the abandonment of the Porters
redevelopment project, is will minorities be any less unwelcome downtown. We clearly remember Mayor Dickert stating, at the announcement of the Porters project, that he appreciated the work of the licensing committee in paving the way for that project. What else could he be appreciative of from that committee other than the closure of minority bars on Sixth St. Many feel that the make-up of the committee is to blame for the disproportionate number of minorities losing their licenses. The committee, which has no minority representation, has enormous power to close any bar they wish. Members of the committee can request that a business be bound over to a due processes hearing. The committee then holds the hearing. They then vote as council members on whether to take the individual’s license. In short, the committee serves as accuser, judge, jury, and the one that hands down the punishment. In most cases they are taking away someone’s livelihood. The make-up of this committee can easily result in corruption, as has been seen in other cities. It is our wish for the City Council to take a serious look at the present committee and make an effort to reform it so that it will be fair to all citizens.
Documentary About Anita Hill Recounts Explosive Clarence Thomas Sexual Harassment Hearing (VIDEO) A film is set to hit theaters featuring the story of Anita Hill, the woman who accused then Supreme Court judge nominee Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment. Directed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Freida Mock, the film debuted at the Sundance Film Festival to sold out screenings. The trailer opens with the question, "Who here knows about Anita Hill?" The woman asking the question to a room full of young black girls is met with blank stares. However, on March 21st when the documentary hits theaters, more people will definitely know Ms. Hill's story. Hill's testimony during the 1991 Senate hearings set off a firestorm of debates around race and sexism. President George Bush, Sr. nominated Thomas to the Supreme Court to replace Thurgood Marshall on the bench. During that time, Anita Hill's testimony to the FBI about sexual harassment she said she experienced while working with Thomas leaked to the press, calling for a series of hearings to investigate
Thomas' character. However, many observers and critics have said that it seemed the one who was being investigated and "vilified" was Anita Hill. Some of the accusations included, "leaving pubes on his soda cans just so he could ask about it aloud" and "chats about bestiality and his penis' nickname, among other things," as summarized by Jezebel. In a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times, Hill says she doesn't regret testifying. In 1991, when I was called to testify — I was actually subpoenaed — I set myself a goal to truthfully talk about the experience I had with Clarence Thomas because I thought, and I still think, that it reflected on his ability to be an impartial judge in any case involving the law, but certainly any case involving civil rights, inequality issues. Having done that, yes, it was worth it. I have no regrets. Hill is currently a professor of social policy, law and women's studies at Brandeis University's Heller School of Social Policy and Management. She's also an author and speaker.

Fellowships, student loan forgiveness programs part of new Nurses for Wisconsin initiative Fellowships, student loan forgiveness programs to be part of new Nurses for Wisconsin initiative. Four University of Wisconsin System nursing programs are offering new fellowship and loan forgiveness programs to encourage nurses to pursue doctoral degrees or postdoctoral training and assume nurse educator positions in Wisconsin. The overall goal is to address the nursing faculty shortage. The $3.2 million Nurses for Wisconsin initiative — funded through a UW System Economic Development Incentive Grant — comes in response to predictions that Wisconsin could see a shortage of 20,000 nurses by 2035. A current shortage of nurse educators in Wisconsin greatly limits the number of students who can be accepted into nursing programs in the state, said Dr. Linda Young, dean of the College of Nursing and Health Sciences at UW-Eau Claire. “UW System nursing programs have the leadership, academic programs and curriculum necessary to increase the number of graduates from the baccalaureate programs,” Young said. “But a shortage of nurse educators prevents us from enrolling more nursing students in our programs. This collaborative initiative to invest in nurse educators is an important first step in meeting the need to enroll more nursing students for Wisconsin.” In 2012-13, 50-80 percent of qualified
undergraduate students who applied to nursing schools at four UW System institutions were denied admission primarily because there was not enough qualified nursing faculty to teach them, Young said. Led by UW-Eau Claire, the new initiative will provide fellowships to nurses enrolling in doctoral programs at UW-Eau Claire, UW-Madison, UW-Milwaukee or UW Oshkosh. All pre- and postdoctoral fellowships will provide opportunities for mentorship in the nurse educator role. The predoctoral fellowships will support students pursuing either Ph.D.s or doctor of nursing practice degrees. Predoctoral nursing fellows will receive tuition, fees and stipends in exchange for a three-year commitment to teach at a UW system nursing school. Postdoctoral fellowships to advance nursing research and evidencebased practice also will be supported. The postdoctoral nursing fellows will receive a renewable one-year fellowship, with stipend and benefits, as part of a threeyear teaching commitment in a UW system nursing program. In addition, the four project schools are offering loan forgiveness as an incentive to attract new nursing faculty with a Ph.D. or doctor of nursing practice degree. This program will repay up to $50,000 of the new hire’s student loans in exchange for a three-year teaching commitment. According to the Wisconsin Center for Nursing, the current average age of
Wisconsin nursing faculty members is 58 years, and almost six out of 10 faculty plan to leave the workforce within 10 years. This points to the need to not only increase nursing faculty numbers beyond current levels, but also to offset those retirements, Young said. “To meet anticipated workforce needs,
Page 6 Racine Insider News, February 1-30, 2014
strategies for increasing the number of nursing faculty need to be dramatic and immediate,” Young said. Enrollment information for the Nurses for Wisconsin initiative can be found online at www.nursesforwisconsin.org.

Beyonce Makes Wish Come True For Terminally Ill Girl Beyonce Makes Wish Come True For Terminally Ill Girl Superstar singer and actress Beyoncé made a wish come true for Taylon Davis, a 12year-old with an inoperable brain tumor. Her last wish was to dance with Beyonce, and the wish was granted through The Make-a-Wish Foundation, which was responsible for making it happen. It happened at one of her concerts in Las Vegas, and the precious moment was captured on YouTube and has been viewed more than 1,000,000 times. As young Taylon is rolled in her wheelchair to a special spot in front of the stage, she talks to the camera: "I am having so much fun, I can't wait to see Beyoncé." A few moments later, Beyoncé comes down down onto the stage, and viewers can really see Taylon getting excited. Next, the singer sweeps downs from the stage to embrace Taylon and they duet on "Love on Top". After this, Taylon rises from her chair to dance as Beyoncé starts singing the hit Destiny's Child song "Survivor".
