World premiere in Jaycee Studio at Stages Theatre

Hidden Heroes: Inspiring young girls Stages Theatre Company’s “Hidden Heroes,” the inspiring story of girls who grew up to become the Black Women of NASA, is based on the book Hidden Human Computers: The Black Women of NASA by Sue Bradford Edwards and Duchess Harris, whose grandmother was in the group of the first 11 black women recruited to work at NASA. The production takes audiences on a journey capturing the young girls’ brilliance,

creativity, and imagination as they break barriers, accomplish the impossible, and become the courageous women who created opportunities that have influenced the industry of space exploration, mathematics and engineering.

The world premiere production is in Jaycee Studio at Stages Theatre Company opened Friday, April 26 and runs through May 19, 2019.

Adapted to stage by

playwright Shá Cage and directed by Signe V. Harriday, Hidden Heroes encourages the audiences to dream big and imagine the unimaginable. “Centering the stories, voices, and experiences of Black women is part of what excites me about directing this production,” said Signe V. Harriday. “Making unabashed space to create, play, and embody the fullness of ourselves is a healing journey and one I believe will touch the hearts of our

audiences. Seeing reflections of ourselves in the brilliance and magic of our elders and ancestors is in part what this play and production are all about. Hearing and experiencing these dynamic stories helps us all see our interconnectedness and I hope inspires our audiences to dream.”

Stages Theater is at 1111 Mainstreet, Hopkins, MN 55343.

RACE Are We So Different

Bremer grant to update Science Museum Bowman, Old National: Changing the narrative “RACE” exhibit Picture left to right: Second Row (Tina Thomas, Stephen Obayuwana, Ann Fix, D’Wayne Morris, MayPa Yang) First Row (Trent Bowman, Warren McLean, Leo Lopez, and Anna Schmiel)

The Science Museum of Minnesota has received $1 million from the Otto Bremer Trust as the lead investment in the museum’s equity initiative, which seeks to expand its impact using science to address education outcomes.

The Science Museum will use the investment to update its awardwinning “RACE: Are We So Different?” exhibition.

“We are enormously grateful to the Otto Bremer Trust for their generous investment toward advancing equity work in our community,” said Joanne Jones-Rizzi, vice president of STEM Equity and Education at the Science Museum. “The museum is deeply committed to the powerful role that STEM can play in creating a more equitable and just society, and we view the ‘RACE’ exhibition as an entry point for people to have a shared experience and explore and better understand the systems of inequity that have shaped our nation.”

“RACE: Are We So Different?” debuted at the Science Museum in 2007. After its run in St. Paul, it toured the nation for 10 years. During its national tour, it was seen by more than four million people at more than 50 museums in 27 states. When the tour concluded, it became a part of the museum’s permanent exhibit galleries. “RACE,” which is a project of the American Anthropological Association, received the American Alliance of Museums’ Excellence in Exhibition award, and it was recognized in the Noyce Foundation’s Bright Lights Community Engagement competition.

“The ‘RACE’ exhibit has been transformative in starting conversations about race across the country,” said Daniel Reardon, co-CEO, the Otto Bremer Trust. “Given the societal and cultural changes since the exhibit was created, we support the museum’s plan

The Old National Bank Foundation, philanthropic arm of Old National Bank, presented a check for $10,000 to Northside Economic Opportunity Network (NEON), a nonprofit that seeks to create economic opportunity in North Minneapolis.

Three times a year, the foundation presents grants to organizations throughout its footprint that fit the strategic initiatives of affordable housing, early education, economic development, financial literacy and workforce development.

“We are absolutely thrilled to have Old National Bank as our newest partner in economic development,” said NEON President Warren McLean. “The grant will definitely help us increase our capacity to serve a greater number of clients in North Minneapolis.

We are excited about the future of our burgeoning partnership and its benefits to North Minneapolis entrepreneurs.”

NEON aims to address unemployment disparity in North Minneapolis. Accord-

ing to the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED), the unemployment rate is more than two times higher for Black Minnesotans compared to white Minnesotans. North Minneapolis has the densest Black population in the state.

Old National’s vice president of Community Development, Trent Bowman believes NEON’s work can help change the narrative for the North Minneapolis community.

“Business and com-

munity go hand-in-hand – the success of one depends heavily on the other. By empowering community members to start their own businesses, NEON is truly helping North Minneapolis thrive,” said Bowman. “We at Old National are proud to support NEON and we’re excited to see more from their hard-working clients.”

The grant money will be used to provide 200 hours of technical assistance to entrepreneurs in North Minneapolis and surrounding areas.

Insight 2 Health Environmental racism grows as environmental groups turn increasingly white

By Hazel Trice Edney (TriceEdneyWire.com) - Clean drinking water. Lead paint abatement programs. Affordable energy bills. These are the day-to-day environmental justice issues that are vital to the health and financial well-being of communities especially low-income families.

But as environmental battles rage across the country, thousands of African-American children and adults are paying a heavy price with their health as elite environmental organizations are overwhelmingly managed by White leaders who appear to ignore key issues that disproportionately impact low-income communities, where African-Americans and other people of color reside.

As the diminishing AfricanAmerican voices for environmental justice becomes more prevalent, attention appears to be turning away from environmental hazards disparately plaguing urban areas dominated by Black people across the country such as the following: * Cockroach allergens are detected in 85 percent of innercity homes across the U. S. and 60 to 80 percent “of inner-city children with asthma are sensitized to cockroach based on the skin prick testing,” according to the U.S. Institute of Health. * Approximately 11.2 percent of African-American children who live in urban areas

are at risk for lead poisoning caused by lead-based paint, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. * A Center for American Progress report found that water contamination disparately “plagues low-income areas and communities of color across the nation” and that studies have “documented limited access to clean water in low-income communities of color.”These atrocities are being shoved aside by misaligned priorities. Instead of making a meaningful impact to health and pocketbooks, some environmental organizations focus on apparent vanity projects that garner media attention and money from well-heeled donors Among the best examples is an issue playing out in Minnesota, where national environmental groups – including Greenpeace, 350.org and the Natural Resources Defense Council - are waging a major battle described as “resistance against the oil pipelines.” They also are running major fundraising campaigns off of pipeline protests – even though the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Administration notes that pipelines are “one of the safest and least costly ways to transport energy products.”

Meanwhile, these organizations are all but ignoring the real issues facing Minnesotans. A report indicated that the state’s urban areas have unsuitable

and outdated infrastructure, allowing storm water drainage to become a crisis. Yet another report found that the Twin Cities air pollution kills nearly 2,000 people a year taking its greatest toll on those in poverty, who also disproportionately shoulder the burdens of asthma, unclean drinking water, and lead poisoning.

While the environmental groups are shoving environmental health issues aside, they also are promoting an agenda that will drive energy bills even higher for Minnesotans who are already spending far too much of their hardearned money on energy costs.

Families in Clearwater County spend 45.9 percent of their income on energy bills, while Roseau County families spend 44.5 percent – and virtually every county across the state sees energy bills eating away at more than 30 percent of income.

The story is the same across the country, as Alabama families spend nearly 50 percent of their income on energy and Michigan families spend 30 percent and above.

Some believe that these skewed priorities may be happening in part because of the lack of diversity in the environmental movement. A study by Green 2.0 recently found that the movement is only “getting more white,” as it continues to leave out people of color.

The report indicated that near-

This February 2016 cover of Time magazine features a rashcovered child during the height of the Flint, Mich. water crisis.

The picture, taken by award-winning photographer Regina H. Boone, revealed the human impact of the lead-contaminated water. More than three years later, environmental hazards continue in Michigan and in states around the country - some unchecked - largely due to misplaced priorities that some view as environmental racism. ly 70 percent of the Environmental Defense Fund’s (EDF)

staff was White. It also concluded that “the top 40 environmen-

tal foundations have gotten more White across full time staff, senior staff, and board members.”

Green 2.0 is pressing to deal with the racial inclusion issue in order to infuse greater sensitivity into the environmental justice movement. Whitney Tome, executive director of Green 2.0, said in a statement, “Communities of color bring to bear experience and perspective on both problems and pathways to power building. As an organization, we plan to take a more aggressive approach to calling out the environmental movement for their lack of diversity.”

She continued, “For the past five years, we’ve been working to ensure that the environmental movement and its leaders reflect the current U.S. workforce demographics.”

These racial and economic disparities are happening around the country. For example, Louisiana ranks second-worst among U.S. states when examining a wide range of environmental indicators, including water and air quality, energy use and recycling, according to a recent analysis.

While some environmental groups in the area have used their presence to fight issues that impact everyone, such as air quality or safe drinking water, other organizations, with the backing of Greenpeace, are instead focusing on anti-pipeline and anti-

RACISM 6

‘One-stop-shops’ for behavioral health care face uncertain future A new mental health program and five others like it are at risk of ending unless the Minnesota Legislature approves funding to continue the services.

In mid-April state officials visited one of the Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHCs) to highlight the value of the model, which combines substance use disorder treatment, mental health care and a range of

other services under one roof.

The clinics need federal approval and matching federal funds to continue operating after the demonstration period ends on June 30. Gov. Tim Walz has proposed moving CCBHCs from a demonstration project to an ongoing Medicaid-reimbursable service model, allowing for expansion beyond the six demonstration sites.

Minnesota Human Services Commissioner Tony Lourey and Rep. Robert Bierman (DFL-57A) toured People Incorporated’s Stark Mental Health Clinic in Minneapolis to see one of the models in action and to hear from staff about the impact it is having.

“CCBHCs are in many ways the future of mental and chemical health care, because they offer a wide range of services together

in one place,” said Lourey. “It is critical that patients not only receive the care and services they need, but that their care and services are coordinated. That’s the beauty of CCBHCs – they provide a high level of coordination between providers, social services agencies, counties and other key resources, which helps to ensure the best possible results for each individual.”

Omar From 3 by the Senate and signed by the president would put legal protections in place to bring about workplace pay equality.

Even prior to Omar walking in, the space seemed to be abuzz, with casual conversation about empowerment as DJ Shannon Blowtorch played an eclectic mix of women’s anthems that included Dolly Parton’s “9 to 5,” Beyoncé’s “Run the World (Girls)” and Blowtorch’s former bandmate, Lizzo’s “Juice.” And

Before CCBHCs, a person with a mental illness or substance use disorder typically would need to work with several providers to obtain different levels and types of care.

“It is critical that CCBHCs not only continue, but expand to more areas to serve more people in need,” said Lourey. “CCBHCs need to become one of the foundations

of our mental health system.”

The 2014 federal Excellence in Mental Health Act established an eight-state demonstration project to test the CCBHC model. The 2015 Minnesota legislature provided funding to support planning and, in December 2016, Minnesota was chosen to be one of eight states to pilot CCBHCs.

after Omar emerged from a side door, flanked by her husband and security, and with her young daughter at her side, the conversation – not Omar – was the focal point. That point … we have a serious problem when it comes to gender and pay, and that problem is compounded by ethnicity.

“There’s a strategic and explicit war on people of color,” said Richfield Mayor Maria Regan Gonzalez. “All of these systems … incarceration, education, economic systems … are perfectly designed to disadvantage our people.”

“Women are paid 65 percent less than their male counterparts … that’s 10 months

of daycare; one year of college,” said Alex West Steinman, cofounder and CEO of The Coven, a creative workspace for women and non-binary individuals.

The pay equity conversation was more than 15 minutes in before Omar spoke; driving home the point about the dual deficit women of color face.

“Black women are paid 61 cents (to every dollar paid to a white man), Latina women, 53 cents, Native Americans, 58 cents,” said Omar. “Clearly the pay gap is compounded by the racial gap and at the end of the day these pennies add up.”

Omar and Gonzalez stressed the importance of coalition-building in the fight for equity.

“When we’re not approaching (this issue) with an intersectional lens, then we’re often leaving behind someone,” said Omar. “(Those benefiting from inequality are) doing divide and conquer and it’s working very well,” said Gonzalez.

Many believe one of the reasons Omar is so vilified by those on the right – most notably, President Donald Trump – is because of her own intersectionality as a woman, a Somali-American and a Muslim.

Omar agrees.

“The president – and the Republican Party in large – always find ways to demonize and villainize women and women of color,” said Omar, explaining why she and several of her freshmen women in Congress counterparts have drawn almost unmitigated hatred from the right. “But (in fights with Omar, Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez [D-N.Y.], Rashida Tlaib [D-Mich.] and Ayanna Pressley [D-Mass.]) for the first time they’re reckoning with women who know they have equal standing and voice and are not afraid to use it. They know we’re their biggest threat because we’re fighting for the many and not the few. They want to set the narrative that we are ‘other,’ but the people are rejecting their tactics.”

and Economic Development.

“Recent Opportunity Zone projects involving City land or funding have committed to a wide range of community benefits including offering new community spaces; equitable business and workforce inclusion goals; and, integrating artwork by neighborhood artists.”

The Opportunity Zones program was established

by Congress in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The program encourages long-term

investments in specific low income and urban communities nationwide.

St. Paul’s Opportunity Zones are grouped into seven focus areas – City Center and Riverfront, including District Del Sol, Creative Enterprise Zone, Midway Soccer Stadium, including Little Africa, Green Line East, including Little Mekong and Rondo, North End Nexus, Phalen Corridor and Gold Line East.

States, illuminating systems of inequity like education, housing, health care and wealth disparities. The Science Museum will use the Otto Bremer Trust investment to incorporate new components that explore other systems of inequity that have been in the spotlight in recent years, including the criminal justice system and the relationships between people of

color and law enforcement.

“In 2007, people really weren’t talking about race, and our goal with the RACE exhibition was to increase the quantity and quality of conversations,” said Jones-Rizzi. “Today, for many reasons, including the rise of social media and its impact on our access to news and information, people are talking about race-related topics with

much greater frequency. Our goal in updating the exhibition is to help visitors make connections between what they’re seeing in the news and to better understand the impact that systems of inequity have on our society.”

Work on the updates to the “RACE” exhibition will begin this summer, with the updated exhibition set to open in 2020.

Racism From 4 energy activism in the state.

The singular focus on one environmental issue while appearing to ignore others implies the presence of environmental racism, a long-used description of the practice of allowing toxics to exist in communities of color.

Meanwhile AfricanAmerican led organizations are pushing environmental justice agendas, underscoring the importance of such issues in communities of color.

“Clean water is a basic human right,” National Medical Association President Niva Lubin-

Johnson, wrote in a commentary posted on Seattlemedium. com last fall. “At the National Medical Association (NMA), we see firsthand how this crisis in clean water crtes a variety of healthcare problems for black patients and their families.”

Instead of seeking ways to make energy more elusive and expensive for communities of color, activist groups could use their initiative to aid in the abating of these most fundamental challenges that continue to push headwinds against many Black families and other families of color.

“This is just the beginning,” says Tome of Green 2.0. “Environmental groups are now on notice.”

JXTA hosts Bronx-based graffiti artists residency Bronx-based graffiti artists Tats Cru – comprised of Bio, Nicer, and BG183 – has a residency at Juxtaposition Arts (JXTA).

During their April 26 – May 4 residency, Tats Cru will complete an 840 square foot (60’ x 14’) mural to serve as a backdrop for the forthcoming skateable art plaza on the JXTA campus. The creation of the mural is part of a four-year, $14 million campus renovation campaign. As a part of their residency, Tats Cru will also host the first Minneapolis gallery exhibition of their work. Their exhibition, “Live from New York,” will be on view in the Emerson Gallery, 2007 Emerson Ave. N. from May 3 – June 29.

This residency serves also as a prelude to Juxtaposition Arts’ annual fundraiser, Move the Crowd, which will take place on May 3 on the JXTA campus.

This is Tats Cru’s first visit to Minneapolis since a local residency in 2011.

During that visit, they completed two murals around the Juxtaposition Arts campus.

A mural at the JXTA campus gateway proclaims “Welcome to North Minneapolis” on the exterior west-facing wall of 1808 Emerson Ave. N. (where JXTA’s Textiles & Screen Printing, Environmental Design, and Graphic Design Labs are currently housed).

Another mural depicting JXTA’s 2018 Bruner Loeb Forum conference “Putting Creativity to Work” decorated the exterior east-facing wall of JXTA’s now-demolished building on the corner of Emerson Avenue North and West Broadway Avenue.
