Why Dr. King's 'Dream' is important now more than ever On January 15, 2018 our nation will remember civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., with a day in his honor. It couldn't come at a better time, as this nation deals with extreme polarization and a resurgence of negativity of all kinds, from racism to political apathy. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., never held political office, nor was he a mighty businessman. But he accomplished more for our nation with eloquent words than decades of political infighting or millions of dollars have since. He created unity and hope during a time when our nation desperately needed them. While his focus was primarily on eliminating racism, King also pushed for equality among economic sectors of the nation. Many say this is the key issue that dominated last fall's election, and nationwide, it continues to be obvious in our schools, our court rooms, and even our public health centers. Those who come from
communities and families with more resources have disproportionate opportunities and quality of life, and there continues to be little action to change that. When you think about it, true equality requires a portion of people to give something up. While it may be true that equality benefits us all, there is deep inertia from many toward the act of true equalization and instead, our nation seems to be moving slowly toward deeper and deeper inequality, especially in our economy. Take education, for example. While it is true that a minimum wage worker's children can, theoretically, attend college, most can barely afford the cost of co-curricular activities, let alone four years of tuition. To get in, most would have to fight tirelessly for scholarships and loans, and even with a four-year degree, would not be guaranteed a job. Where social barriers have been removed between many races since King's famous "Dream" speech, economic barriers have been
constructed in their place. So how do we reconcile this disparity and move forward? The answer can again be found in King's belief in the power of hope. "I see a lot of cynicism around and a lot of despair, and it's understandable despair, and I've tried to say to them, 'Don't lose

On Thursday, December 21, 2017, Zembo Temple #70 Prince Hall Shriners hosted a Children's Christmas Party and Winter Concert at the School for Early Development and Achievement's MCI Main Conference Center, 2020 West Wells Street. The event aimed to bring holiday cheer to children who may not have the opportunity to celebrate or receive a gift at Christmas. Gifts were donated by Prince Hall Shriners, school staff and friends. The event was officiated by Wesley Jones and the students from the various classes performed Christmas songs for students and invited guests. Pictured with the children are Noble Ricky Townsell; Noble Dewitt White, Captain of the Guard; Noble Chief Rabban Gerald Woodard; Illustrious Potentate John Odom; Illustrious Commandeers Tygeen Taylor; Noble Chief Rabban Terry Jackson; Past Potentate Steven Quezaire; and High Priest and Prophet Marcel Clarke. www.milwaukeetimesnews.com
hope; don't give up; picture disappointments and transform them into your own assets and into something creative'," King told an audience at a Feb. 15, 1968, rally for the campaign. Oprah Winfrey once interviewed Michelle Obama about her experiences as the First Lady of the Unit-
ed States. Throughout the interview, Obama exhibited extraordinary poise and grace as she refused to criticize the incoming president or his supporters. Our nation needs to be behind its leader, she said, and most importantly, it needs to have hope. (Continued on pg. 2)
Milwaukee remembers 2017's homicide victims
Photo by Yvonne Kemp
On Saturday, December 30, 2017, Northcott Neighborhood House, Inc., hosted their annual "Milwaukee Lights A Candle for Change" candlelight vigil for the homicide victims of 2017. The vigil was officiated at Our Savior's Lutheran Church, 3022 West Wisconsin Ave., and was presided over by Rev. Dr. Patrick Keen. Along with songs, praise dances, and words of comfort and encouragement, family members lit candles in remembrance of their loved ones who died by violence this past year. The names of all 168 victims who died by violence last year were read by Sr. Rose Stietz and Rev. Gregory Lewis of Pastors United before a candle was lit in their honor. The event was co-sponsored by Northcott Neighborhood House, Inc., Pastors United, MICAH, and Wisconsin Annual Conference of United Methodist Churches, in cooperation with Milwaukee County.

Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn to retire after 10 years Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn will retire from the Milwaukee Police Department on February 16, 2018, according to a news release from the city's Fire and Police Commission (FPC). "Chief Flynn’s current term was due to continue through January of 2020, but we are confident in the committed and capable members of the MPD who remain. At our January 11, 2018 meeting we will discuss in closed session this news and plan for moving forward," the FPC said in a statement. "I was brought here to be a change agent, and a change agent I have been," Flynn said at a news conference attended by Mayor Tom Barrett Monday. After serving as chief since January 7, 2008, Flynn will retire just over ten years after he was sworn in. He is the fifth-longest serving police chief in Milwaukee's history. Chief Flynn held several positions before his service in the Milwaukee Police De-

LARGER THAN LIFE
(Continued from pg. 1) That does not mean that we go blindly forward without questioning the policies or the actions of our leaders. Instead, Martin Luther King, Jr., preached arming oneself with knowledge and moving forward with determination and perseverance. It is hard to imagine that our nation once allowed outright discrimination against people because of the color of their skin. But in more subtle ways, we continue to discriminate. If Martin Luther King were here today, he would see amazing victories for equality, like an outgoing president with skin the same color as his. But he would also see, surely, the myriad of ways people in our nation continue to suffer from discrimination and inequality and he
surely would urge us to take action against those crimes. "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter," King said. With continued focus, we can, as a state and a country, overcome many forms of discrimination, even if the political climate says otherwise. Persistent, educated pressure can effect change. Write a letter to your legislator or congressperson advocating for better education, health and justice programs. Tell the world your story over and over again. Refuse to be discouraged when your efforts are rejected time and again. And above all else, always maintain hope. Or as King put it so much more eloquently, "we must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope."

Trump signs bill to upgrade Martin Luther King's birthplace to national historic park President Trump signed a bill Monday, January 8, 2018 to expand the Rev. Martin Luther King's birthplace in Atlanta into a national historical park — the first such park in Georgia. Trump signed the Martin Luther King, Jr., National Historical Park Act of 2017 aboard Air Force One after touching down in Marietta, GA, to attend the college football national championship game between the University of Alabama and the University of Georgia. Alveda King, niece of the slain civil rights leader, joined Trump for a small, private bill-signing ceremony aboard Air Force One. "Through his life and work, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., made America more just and free," White House deputy press secretary Hogan Gid-
ley told reporters aboard the plane. "This important historical park tells his story, and this bill will help ensure that the park continues to tell Dr. King’s story for generations to come." The national historical site in Atlanta already includes King's birthplace, the church where he was baptized, and
his burial place. The legislation Trump signed Monday upgrades the designation to a national historical park, and expands the boundaries to include the Prince Hall Masonic Temple. The temple served as the headquarters of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the civil rights
group King co-founded. The bill was sponsored by Rep. John Lewis, D-GA, who said the change would significantly improve the way the National Park Service preserves, shares and presents King's legacy to visitors. The nation will celebrate a federal holiday named for King on Monday, January 15, 2018. Earlier Monday, Trump signed a related bill, the African American Civil Rights Network Act of 2017, which requires the National Park Service to link various historical sites related to the civil rights movement. He also signed the 400 Years of African American History Commission Act to commemorate the arrival of the first Africans in the English colonies at Point Comfort, VA, in 1619.

Being Frank The teacher in the USA is a conflicted figure. On one hand they are the keepers of knowledge designated to enlighten others. On the other hand teachers are scapegoats for the educational lapse in the USA. What people do not understand is the teacher is only as good as their students. What people in the USA do not want to accept is the 2018 student is not very good. The USA faces one of the biggest threats to its survival. I am not talking about terrorist bombings. The threat is the next wave of high school graduates coming out of public schools. There are successful schools in the USA. If one looks at graduation rates they seem to be on the upswing. The problem is that the student crossing the graduation stage may be mentally incompetent. There have been scandals dealing with graduation and grade changes for decades. Recently a high school was reprimanded by their school district for graduating incompetent students in a major US city. This was alarming to the unknowing public but to anyone who has worked in education it was nothing. Why? The staff at any high school knows there is a growing population of students who the school wants to get rid of. In the 1950’s and 60’s the deadbeat student had the decency to drop out and get a job or enlist in the military. In 2018 the deadbeat student is a

growing majority and these students have an illusion that walking the stage for graduation will miraculously make them intelligent. In the USA the success or failure of students often falls on teachers. You would think that the care of children’s minds and learning would be an esteemed position. In the USA it is not. Many teachers work long hours for pitiful wages. The insane aspect of this is that behind every successful person there is a teacher in some form or fashion. You see many athletes making millions but the teacher who tutored and helped get the athlete through school is still working two jobs. In many states teachers not only receive sub-standard wages, they work in adverse conditions. During the summer months many teachers have to teach in classrooms with no air conditioning. This is

The average student in many schools around the USA would have been considered disrespectful and expelled 20 years ago. Districts around the country create anti-bullying propaganda to protect students. Teachers have to put up with far more verbal abuse than any bullied child. In high schools many teachers have to put up with students who are grown in their minds. With this in mind the students talk to the teachers any way they want. The ignorant public has the stance that these disrespectful students are children and the teacher should be the adult. This is true, but shouldn’t the adult be able to tell the child to shut up? Oops. In 2018 teachers cannot tell a child to shut up. Teachers in 2018 have to ask or beg a student to be quiet.
high schools in the USA? The teacher is part of the blame, but not for the reason you may think. The teacher is at fault because many of them care too much. Teachers come into bad environments and give their minds and souls to people who could care less. So if you want to blame teachers for something, blame them for caring.

A New Year – A Fresh Start (Week 2) “For last year's words belong to last year's language and next year's words await another voice.” - T.S. Eliot This month, this column is challenging its readers to look at areas in their lives that could use a fresh start. One area that many of us may need to direct our attention to is the area of forgiveness and forgiving those who have hurt us. Former President Bill Clinton – who was in the White House when Mandela rose to the presidency in South Africa – said that he turned to the onetime political prisoner for advice when he faced particularly bitter relationships with Republicans in Congress. The discussion with Nelson Mandela occurred after the attempt to impeach President Clinton at which time he was charged with perjury and obstruction of justice. The former President Bill Clinton reminisced on the conversation he had with Nelson Mandela when he spoke to NBC’s Brian Williams about the loss of
his friend and the legacy he leaves behind for the world. President Clinton recalled saying to Mr. Mandela: “It was a good thing you did, inviting ... your jailers to your inauguration and all this reconciliation stuff…but how did you get there?” President Clinton told Brian Williams how Nelson Mandela described being “young and strong” and living on his hatred after being abused by his jailers. Then, Mandela told him: “I realized they could take everything, even my life, except my mind and my heart. Those things I would
Mandela also realized the importance of forgiveness. “Forgiveness,” according to the New Dictionary of Biblical Theology, “occurs in Scripture whenever humans who have violated God’s will cry out for and receive his mercy. It is different from mercy itself, which is God’s staying his hand of deserved judgment. Forgiveness begins with the acknowledgment of one’s guilt (see 1 John 1:9) in God’s eyes. It is completed when the offender is restored to full fellowship with God, experiencing his healing love, have to give away and I de- and with other people to the cided not to give them away extent this is possible.” (See and neither should you.” Matt. 5:23-24; Rom. 12:18). The forgiveness of his jailers, according to President Nelson Mandela left a rich Clinton, not only solidified legacy as well as powerful Mandela’s role as the father lessons for all of us to heed. of his own country but lit up Who do you need to forgive? the world with a lasting mes- Have you learned the freesage. Clinton went on to say dom of forgiveness? “He [Mandela] didn’t just do things that made people feel Remember when it comes good… He was really good, to forgiveness, it is not just but his enduring power is about us forgiving others, that he showed us that there but forgiveness is also about is true freedom in forgive- our own spiritual growth and ness.” displaying the unfeigned love of God in our lives. If you Nelson Mandela had many desire to live a life of love reasons to be angry; but Mr. for God and others, then
forgiveness becomes an unavoidable option. It’s a New Year! Make a fresh start by forgiving others who have hurt you. “And he who sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new….” - (Rev. 21:5) Next Week: Continuation The writer does not assume responsibility in any way for readers’ efforts to apply or utilize information or recommendations made in this article, as they may not be necessarily appropriate for every situation to which they may refer.

Celebrate Black History Month by circulating Black dollars in Black communities Once and for all, let’s get this straight. America has gotten out of the Black people business! No help is coming from Washington, DC. No help is coming from state government. No significant help is coming from city and county governments. No useful help is coming from foundations and corporations. We, Black people, are on our own. And, really, for centuries, we were always on our own. Most jobs that Blacks once had in America are now done by computers, machines and robots. Many of the other jobs that we used to have are now taken by immigrants or have grown beyond our collective skillsets. Black leadership is still using protest tactics and methodologies from the 1950’s to address 2018 economic problems. Those tactics won’t work. There is no more cotton for Black people to pick, and but our leadership teaches us to have a cotton picking and sharecropper mentality.
Even if Black people continue acquiring wealth at our present rate and White people stop acquiring any additional wealth, it would take 228 years to close the racial wealth gap. As of 2013, White households had $116,000 in median household net worth and Black families had $1,700 of median household net worth. Regardless, it is projected that by 2053 Black median household net worth will be at zero dollars. Black people’s net worth will be at the same level as when we came out of slavery in 1865.
Good news: Black people in America have a gross national income of about $1.3 trillion. Bad news: Only 2 percent or about $26 billion of those $1.3 trillion are re-circulated in the Black community. If Black dollars were re-circulated in Black American communities more, Black dollars would produce Black companies, help hire Black employees, support Black families and rebuild Black communities. Instead, our $1.3 trillion income makes other people rich including Whites, Arabs, Koreans, Pa-
kistanis, Indians, Latinos, Chinese, Polish, even Blacks from the Caribbean and the continent of Africa. Black people need a simple plan to alter our trajectory. Here’s a plan: One – Join with The Black Star Project in the “Circulate Black Dollars in Black Communities” and receive a “Black dollar stamp.” Two – Stamp all of your paper money with this stamp (legal according to Title 18, Section 333 of United States Code and Title 18, Section 475 of United States Code) and use your dollars as you normally would. Three – make a conscious effort to spend your Black “stamped” dollars with Black people for at least one year. You will be reminded to spend your Black dollars with Black people every time you see a “stamped” dollar. If 43 million Black people consciously move their spending efforts from 2 percent with Black people to 4 percent with Black people, $26 billion more will be infused into
the Black economy. If Black people can move their spending habits from 2 percent to 10 percent with Black people, an additional $104 billion will be generated. Theoretically, $104 billion would produce between 400,000 and 750,000 new jobs and geometrically accelerate Black financial and social well-being. As Black spending becomes more intentional, our social and economic issues will disappear. We won’t have to wait for others to give us financial permission or support so that we might fix our own problems. We will declare a new freedom and help take control over the lives of everyone in our communities. Your dollar is your most potent weapon in a capitalistic society. We must learn to use our dollars to reward those who help and support us, and to punish those who don’t. Circulate Black Dollars in Black Communities!
Salary negotiations can help boost your income when changing jobs Whether you're actively looking to make a move or being lured away by a recruiter, a new job offers many opportunities for growth. Discovering how different organizations run and tackling the learning curve during the first few months is part of the fun, and struggle, of making a change. Switching employers can also greatly benefit your financial future. While staying at the same job could lead to a modest annual raise, you might be able to negotiate a much larger jump in pay when changing companies. Negotiating a job offer can be daunting, but consider what happens if you don't negotiate – you might wind up earning less than a hiring manager was willing to offer. Do your homework to find an appropriate salary range before negotiating. Whether you are a veteran or a novice negotiator, you may want to spend time researching before sitting down at the table. Keeping in mind that compensation can vary depending on location, look online for studies or personal accounts that reveal the salaries of someone in a similar role. Several for-profit companies compile and share compensation information online, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics has pay data based on occupation and geography. You could also reach out to recruiters who focus on placing candidates in your industry as they're accustomed to discussing compensation. The more data on your
profession's compensation you can get the better, because you want to be able to make a fact-based request. Ask for too much and you risk being seen as unreasonable or out of touch. Ask for too little, and that might be all you get. Job seekers often get stuck on who says a number first. While advice ranges, one thing is for certain – you don't necessarily want to use your previous salary as a starting point. Especially if your research reveals you're below the current market rate, you want your next offer to reflect the experience and talent you bring to the table. If you're being pressed to respond first, answer with the salary range you're aiming for during your job hunt. Don't get stuck on money – keep the big picture in mind. It can be easy to fixate on the cash portion of your compensation when negotiating, but sometimes there isn't any wiggle room in the budget. Look at the big picture of your potential pay and benefits. Perhaps a lower-than-desired cash offer is offset by a generous retirement contribution matching program, great healthcare benefits, stock incentives or bonus opportunities. When the total compensation doesn't meet your expectations, try to think outside the box and give the

valid, relatable and quantifiable reason. When asking for more money, point to experience or skills that distinguish you from other candidates. Less traditional requests, such as meetings with an executive, could be justified by your dedication to self-improvement and desire to stay in touch with the company's needs.
hiring manager alternative options. You could request additional paid time off, the freedom to work from home one day a week or a professional development stipend. After all, flexibility and personal growth can be more valuable than money. At smaller companies, you could ask for a quarterly lunch with an executive in your department or
your direct supervisor. A lunch won't cost the company much money, but it could give you insight into the company's future, let you know which skills to focus on developing and strengthen your personal relationship with higher ups. Back up your request with valid reasons. Aim to reinforce each of your negotiation requests with a
Bottom line. While changing jobs and negotiating an offer can be a challenge, moving to a new company could accelerate your salary's growth. Before jumping into negotiations, take time to research the market, consider your overall wants and validate your requests. Presenting a coherent argument can help win over a hiring manager and set you apart from other candidates.

Finding your fitness fit Everything isn’t for everybody. The constant evolution of the fitness world leads to the creation and surfacing of more and more fitness formats and if you’re anything like me, you’ve tried them all. From indoor cycling to Crossfit, and even aqua aerobics, there are so many modalities to choose from. What’s most important is that you strive to be active, and the best way to do that is to find something you enjoy.

Improving cardiorespiratory endurance means perhaps going for a swim, dropping it like it’s hot in dance cardio, or training for a marathon. One modality isn’t necessarily better than the next and it’s not a bad idea to crosstrain or incorporate multiple modalities into overall fitness routine to avoid over-training, plateau, and boredom.

ing activities. The following is a breakdown of formats you could try to fulfill each exercise category. Cardiovascular training: There are so many gyms and boutique studios that specialize in cardio training. There’s indoor cycling, treadmill-based high-intensity training, skating, dancing, bike riding, jumping rope, and skiing. Rowing is one of the best full body exercises out there and if you’re not interested in getting out on the water, you could try indoor rowing at studios or gyms that have ergometers, or indoor rowers, to simulate watercraft rowing. Places like this include Orange Theory Fitness, with locations across the country and CITYROW in New York.

Healing of AIDS
Sunday, March 3 - 10, 2018
“Of all of the forms of injustice, injustices in health care is the most shocking and inhuman.” Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Calvary Baptist Church 2959 N. Teutonia Ave • Milwaukee, WI 53206 Pastor: Rev. Dr. John R. Walton, Jr. Free Dinner: 2:00 p.m. • Worship: 3:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. From March 3-10, 2018 over 10,000 churches across our nation will use the power of the Black pulpit to educate their communities about HIV/ AIDS and to heal hearts and minds of denial, silence, and the stigma that continues to block effective interventions for the prevention, treatment, and testing of AIDS in the Black communities. The Black Church Week of Prayer for the Healing of AIDS is a week of education and awareness that spotlights the role that churches play in addressing the AIDS crisis. It is modeled after the groundbreaking Harlem Week of Prayer for the Healing of AIDS established in 1989 by Pernessa C. Seele, Founder /Ceo of the Balm In Gilead. Now in its nineteenth year, it is the largest AIDS awareness program in America targeting the Black community. The Black Church Week of Prayer for the Healing of AIDS will also be conducted at churches in Beloit, Madison, Racine and Kenosha. Join us as we pray for the healing of all who are infected and affected by HIV. Please take time each day for remembrance and hope during the Black Church Week of Prayer for the Healing of AIDS beginning March 3, 2018 through March 10, 2018.

How can your CHurCH participate? • Sermon/Prayer on HIV/AIDS March 3, 2018 • Include Event in Sunday Morning Bulletin • Members of your Church attend • Kick-off event March 3, 2018 • Offer Prayer for those infected/affected by HIV/AIDS during week of March 3-10, 2018 • Distribute Educational Literature on HIV/AIDS • Host Educational Session at your church during week of March 3-10, 2018 • Other activities you feel would be effective

Resistance training: A lot of gyms and studios focus on balance so, in your search for a fitness class, you may have to dig a bit harder to find strict resistance training programs for groups. Some studios offer classes that are solely centered on strength-building, like Novo Body in Encino, California and ChampionTone Fitness in Murfressboro, Tennessee. Working with free weights, kettlebells, resistance bands, calisthenics (body weight), and TRX (suspension) all fall under this category. Flexibility: Of course, you could achieve this one on your own by simply stretching post-workout while your muscles are warm and supple, but it’s not uncommon to skip this part. Yoga is a popular modality because while it improves mobility, it also improves strength. There are plenty of Yoga disciplines to choose from, including Vinyasa, Power and Bikram. There’s even been a recent rise of more innovative yoga classes like Chicago’s R&B Yoga. With their loaded class list and community initiatives, Embrace Yoga DC, in Washington, DC, is also a studio to consider. Mat and Reformer Pilates, pole, and ballet also fall under this category, helping to improve mobility, strength, and posture. So, if just looking at the explosive heavy lifting in the gym makes knees ache or that step aerobics class has you ready to run for the hills, there are plenty of other ways to get moving. Continue to explore and find what's right for you.

Behind the scenes at Agape Love Live By Dwayne Lee, Special for the Milwaukee Times The Milwaukee Times Weekly Newspaper was granted exclusive access to one of the last walk-through rehearsals for Agape Love LIVE, a one-dayonly musical stage play starring Grammy Award-winner and Men of Standard gospel group member Lowell Pye; Grammy Award-winner and Fighting Temptations actress Ann Nesby; and gospel artist Damita Chandler. The show begins at the Pabst Theater with a genuine red carpet roll-out at 5 p.m., on Saturday, January 13, 2018. The production has been largely written, rehearsed and produced in Milwaukee by Mz. Kim Productions. “The primary objective of Mz. Kim Productions is to be a bridge or avenue for Milwaukee talent to get established in the entertainment industry, to be that way in for them,” said Kimberly T. Zulkowski (who goes by

One day, Agape meets a mysterious, reverent young man, Freeman, who fervently tries to show Agape that he must change his ways. Freeman shows him how far he has turned from the man of God that he once was, but Agape is resistant and the saints of the church are furiously unwelcoming to Freeman.
Agape Love Live comes to Milwaukee for one day only on Saturday, January 13, 2018 at Pabst Theater, 144 E Wells St. and features (pictured above, back row, from left) Terrell Lewis, Tory Lowe, Nadine Neil Young, Chris Crain, Quiesha Miller, Demark Reed, Jackie Reed, Moira Tracey; (front row, from left) Erick Perkins, Imani Brown, Kimberley T.

Jewish Museum Milwaukee exhibit recounts Jewish, African American alliance for civil rights
Museum forms committee of local leaders dedicated to ongoing mutual advocacy for equality A new exhibit on display at Jewish Museum Milwaukee recounts the unified efforts made by American Jews and African Americans to fight for equality before and during the Civil Rights era. Allied in the Fight: Jews, Blacks and the Struggle for Civil Rights, on view January 19–March 25, explores the power of partnerships through shared projects and organizational efforts, and how many members of the African American and Jewish communities became allied against injustice. In connection with the exhibit, Jewish Museum Milwaukee assembled a committee of local African American and Jewish leaders, educators and former Civil Rights activists to consult on content and perspectives, assist with program development, encourage involvement, and to serve as a springboard for ongoing community engagement. Allied in the Fight reflects on national and local historical movements and connections to the segregation issues that exist in Milwaukee today. The exhibit is part of the citywide initiative, 200 Nights of Freedom, commemorating the 50th anniversary of the city’s 1967-68 Open Housing Marches. These marches took place over 200 consecutive days in support of the passing of a fair housing bill. “We look forward to sharing and telling the unique story of the Jewish and African American leaders and their communities, who partnered together to pursue prejudic-
together and fostering relationships going forward.” The exhibit will show photos, letters, maps, film and other rare, archival materials from selected collections of the Center for Jewish History, American Jewish Historical Society, Leo Baeck Institute and Yeshiva University Museum, as well as materials sourced from locally based collections.

Program admission is $8 for non-members and $5 for members. The series is $20 for non-members and $15 for members. The series is sponsored by The Ideas Network, Wisconsin Public Radio, 90.7. “Redlining, Racism and Reflection” Part 2: Contextualizing Talk and Screening of film, “City Within a City: Pretty Soon Runs Out” Tuesday, February 20, 7 p.m. The 1968 documentary explores stories of low income Milwaukeeans impacted when the city’s core was torn apart for urban renewal development. Former CEO of Milwaukee Urban League and longtime African American community activist Ralph Hollmon will open with a contextualizing discussion about the late migration and development of Milwaukee’s black community, Jewish business in Bronzeville, what
was built, and what was destroyed. Ralph Hollmon will give a brief pre-screening talk and facilitated discussion after the film. “Redlining, Racism and Reflection” Part 3: Panel Discussion Tuesday, February 27, 7 p.m. This panel discussion will take a historical look at segregation in the city of Milwaukee, analysis of the current status, and a forward-looking discussion of where we go from here. Marc Levine from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s Center for Economic Development will address growth of entrenched segregation and racial inequality in Milwaukee since the 1970s; Margaret Rozga will discuss her involvement with Milwaukee’s NAACP Youth Council, her activism during and after the Open Housing Marches with late husband Father James Groppi and her continued social justice work; Bill Tisdale, President and CEO of the Milwaukee Fair Housing Council, will discuss the organization’s role and advocacy work in the past, present and looking into the future. Film Screening and Talkback February 1, 7-9 p.m.
Jewish Museum Milwaukee will screen From Swastika to Jim Crow, a film telling the little-known story of Jewish refugee scholars who escaped Nazi persecution by fleeing to America, and when faced with anti-Semitic sentiment at mainstream American universities, were hired for positions at historically black colleges and universities (HCBUs) in the segregated South. Following the film, Joyce Mallory, Organization Development Consultant for the Nonprofit Center of Milwaukee and a graduate of Tougaloo College in Mississippi, will discuss her experiences with Professor Ernst Borinski, a German-Jewish sociologist and intellectual who immigrated to the United States from Germany in 1938 and contributed to undermining Jim Crow laws in Mississippi in the 1950s and 1960s.

African American Jewish Freedom Seder April 29, 4-6 p.m. Members of Milwaukee’s African American and Jewish communities will share a Freedom Passover Seder to explore common ground and the universal pursuit of freedom. In what has become a bridging tradition in cities across the nation, intergroup Seders bring together African Americans and Jews to share this ritual meal to discuss and celebrate the shared values of justice and liberation both culture groups find in the Exodus story. In breaking bread together (or matzah in this case) and engaging in meaningful dialogue, a strengthening of communal understanding and respect can be fostered and celebrated.

‘I Have A Dream’ - address at The March on Washington, D.C. on August 28, 1963 I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation. Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of captivity. But one hundred years later, we must face the tragic fact that the Negro is still not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languishing in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. So we have come here today to dramatize an appalling condition. In a sense we have come to our nation’s capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men would be guaranteed the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check which has come back marked “insufficient funds.” But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. So we have come to cash this check -- a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice. We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to open the doors of opportunity to all of God’s children. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial
injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment and to underestimate the determination of the Negro. This sweltering summer of the Negro’s legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning. Those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. There will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges. But there is something that I must say to my people who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice. In the process of gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force. The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny and their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom. We cannot walk alone. And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall march ahead. We cannot turn back. There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, “When will you be satisfied?” We can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. We cannot be
An NCON Communications Publication
satisfied as long as the Negro’s basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. We can never be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississippi cannot vote and a Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote. No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream. I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from narrow cells. Some of you have come from areas where your quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality. You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive. Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and
ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed. Let us not wallow in the valley of despair. I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.” I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state, sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today. I have a dream that one day the state of Alabama, whose governor’s lips are presently dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, will be transformed into a situation where little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little
white boys and white girls and walk together as sisters and brothers. I have a dream today. I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together. This is our hope. This is the faith with which I return to the South. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day. This will be the day when all of God’s children will be able to sing with a new meaning, “My country, ‘tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim’s pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring.” And if America is to be a great nation this must become true. So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops (Continued on pg. 22)

Special: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
By The Late Coretta Scott King Special to the Milwaukee Times Reprint from 1985, during the passage of the King Holiday bill by the U.S. Senate. We have set in motion a great celebration of freedom and justice, in honor of America’s hero and patriot, Martin Luther King, Jr. When Martin began his career, the principles of social justice for which he stood were very controversial. But by the end of his career he was a widely respected leader of international stature, who helped lead an extraordinary revolution in America’s laws and customs. Martin’s moving example of dignity in the face of threats and hatred gave the whole nation a new hero to admire and emulate. Martin knew that America’s democracy was not perfect. But he also knew that, when aroused, America’s conscience could be a powerful force for reform. His unique combination of moral leadership and practical political wisdom enlisted America’s conscience on the side of peaceful change. His memory is engraved in the hearts and minds of his fellow Americans, and it is appropriate, as the President and the Congress have said, to remember and honor the values for which he stood. Each year, Martin’s national

The legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. birthday celebration will rekindle in the hearts of all our people a new pride in America, a determination to make it an even greater nation. It will also spark a new appreciation for its son, who was born into a world where bigotry and racism still hold sway. But before he died, he contributed immeasurably to the human rights of all people. In my travels to the 50 states and U.S. territories as chairperson of the King Federal Holiday Commission, I find that Americans from all walks of life and every political persuasion share a common enthusiasm and excitement as we prepare to celebrate what has been called by President Reagan “A Celebration of Freedom and Justice to Unite All Our Citizens.” There is a spirit of unity and good will sweeping this land. People of all races,religions, classes, politics and stations in life are coming together and putting aside differences in a spirit of reconciliation to make Monday, January 20, 1985 “Martin’s Day,” a day of great national unity and renewed patriotism consistent with the non-violent tradition of the man we prepare to honor. It was not too long ago

We see “Martin’s Day” - the third Monday of each year - as: ...a day to celebrate the life and dream of Martin Luther King Jr... ...a day to reaffirm the American ideals of freedom, justice and opportunity for all... The late Coretta Scott King ...a day for love, not hate; for understandthat Martin painted a vivid ing, not anger; for peace, not picture of what an America war... united would look like...an ...a day for the family to America in which all children share together, to reach out could grow up to realize their to relatives and friends and to full potential.

It also gives Americans a tions and demonstrate that special moment to reaffirm peace is not just a dream but their support for Martin’s be- a real possibility, if only for
one day. We have come too far to be discouraged or to lose hope or to stop believing in the dream. If we believe in the justice for which he died, if we embrace his dream of a community where we can all come to love and care for one another, we will strive to complete his unfinished agenda, we will make his unfinished work our own. Let us be grateful for the providence that sends among us men and women with the courage and vision to stand peacefully but unyieldingly for what is right. Let us also make this a time when we rededicate ourselves to carry on the work of justice. Martin showed how much good a single life, well led, can accomplish. Let Americans honor his memory by pledging in their own lives to do everything they can to make America a place where his dream of freedom and brotherhood and sisterhood will grow up and flourish and we can all be proud to sing with new meaning, “From every mountainside, Let freedom ring.” Coretta Scott King, widow of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., was chairperson of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Federal Holiday Commission and President of The Martin Luther King, Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change, Inc.

Three important lessons we can learn from Dr. King’s legacy
Exactly 88 years ago to the day, a child was born in Atlanta, Georgia named Michael King, Jr. who would change the world. His father would eventually change his name in honor of the German leader of the Protestant Reformation, and it was by that name – Martin Luther King, Jr. – that the world would remember him nearly a century later. Few names in modern American history ring more powerfully than Martin Luther King’s. He remains the only person born in the 20th Century for whom we celebrate a federal holiday. His name is synonymous with great speeches, with inspiring hope, and with the brutal assassination which took his life before he even reached the age of 40. His name is still invoked constantly in modern political discussions, and he arguably left a more profound, longer-lasting legacy than nearly any other American over the last century. When you think of great historical leaders, Martin Luther King’s name constantly makes the short list. So what can we learn from Dr. King’s legacy? What knowledge can we apply to our own lives today to make the world a better place? It would be impossible to list all of them, but here are a few of the most important lessons from Dr. King’s life
the world can be better, and sometimes it’s up to us as leaders to do the reminding. We may not have the platform of Dr. King, but all of us have the potential to lift others up.
and legacy, as represented by some how the most powerful passages from his speeches: “Darkness cannot drive out darkness – only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate – only love can do that.” One of Dr. King’s most well-remembered quotes is also the one perhaps most relevant to our own lives. Our political system and even our popular culture are all heavily centered around the concept of conflict and hate. There is a whole industry in entertainment and politics built around the idea of outrage – we’re supposed to get mad at the people on the other side of the parti-
san fence, or we’re supposed to hate the celebrities who annoy us or do outrageous things. Hate may be an animating force – that is, it may get us out of our seats to do something, but that “something” is hardly productive or positive. Our world won’t get better until we stop revolving our collective existence around hate, and our collective existence won’t get better until we personally make the choice to stop the cycle of hate and try to find common ground with all people. “Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I’m not concerned about that
now… I’ve seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people will get to the promised land.” MLK said those prophetic words in a speech delivered the day before he died in a speech titled “I’ve Been To The Mountaintop.” Reading those words 55 years later, after all of the ups and downs we’ve experienced as a society, you still can feel their power to lift us up and make us hope for something better. There’s also a lesson there for all of us: leadership is sometimes as simple as Inspiring A Shared Vision. We want to be reminded that
“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” King’s most famous line was spoken over 50 years ago, but it still describes a future we have not yet attained. We still have much to learn in how we treat those different from us, whether the lines that separate us are gender, race, socioeconomic status, religion, sexual orientation, or any other countless divisions which still exist, and which motivate people to act with fear or hate. We will always be a nation of many different types of people, and those differences should be celebrated and embraced – but we can also work toward a future in which those differences no longer cause us to push away our fellow humans. Dr. King was a revolutionary leader in many respects, and next week we will take just 24 hours to celebrate his legacy. What we do after the celebration will determine our own legacy.
In Tribute to a great man,… …who like others of his generation died much too soon. May the principles of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. be a part of our culture and philosophy.

Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream lives in acts of justice big and small The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., had to have known as he delivered his famous “I Have a Dream” speech 55 years ago that the moment would change a nation. After the historic March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, King stood before a sea of 250,000 people gathered Aug. 28, 1963, below the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. He rose to the occasion, departing from his prepared text to deliver a passionate message, words that would become the most pivotal and signature moment of the civil rights movement. Today, America is better and more diverse than King could have envisioned back in 1963, when just weeks after his speech, four little girls would die in the Sunday morning bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, AL,
a racially hostile and divided city known in the civil rights movement as “Bombingham.” For dreams to endure, however, they must transcend moments of doubt and touch future generations whose accomplishments confirm the righteousness of the struggle. Had he lived to see 2016, King would
have celebrated the symbolic breakthrough of a two-term president who shared his skin color, but he also would have shed bitter tears of anger and sadness over new legal scuffles over voting rights, crime in poor minority neighborhoods, seemingly intractable poverty, and the racial divisions among Americans over the death of Trayvon Martin.
King also would have seen an America no longer defined almost exclusively in black and white but a nation of many hues, and one in which civil rights debates about opportunity and economic inclusiveness are filtered through a more complex lens. King was right that day in 1963, when beneath the towering presence of the Great Emancipator, he said, “Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed. Let us not wallow in the valley of despair.” Because many did exactly as he preached, their children and grandchildren are growing up in a nation that is closer to realizing King’s dream
than the America he knew. It is a trek that continues to this day. President Barack Obama’s speech at the Lincoln Memorial to mark the 50th anniversary of King’s speech focused on civil rights and race relations. Dallas City Council member Dwaine Caraway called for a conversation about race. And a racial-justice think tank held its national conference on race in North Texas. Just as important are the simple daily ways that many Americans embody the spirit of the “dream speech” as they quietly mentor, inspire, and seek to cash the check of opportunity. Fifty-five years later, the dream faces hurdles, just as it did on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial that historic day. In the spirit of King, it will overcome and endure.
Dr. King compels us to fight for economic fairness We rightly celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day to honor Dr. King’s extraordinary leadership in civil rights for African Americans, and indeed for all Americans. We also celebrate this holiday to rededicate ourselves to continue the struggle for freedom and opportunity. The times demand our renewed commitment to the cause of justice in our community and elsewhere. It is no secret that we still have a lot to do in our own backyard to assure fairness and justice for all. Whether it’s criminal justice reform, making municipal courts work for citizens first, or simply building a community leadership that looks like the people it serves … we have unfinished business in this region. But we also need to remember that Dr. King was fighting for much more than just equality under the law. He knew that the struggle must also focus on economic opportunity. Today, some have forgotten the event where he said, “I have a dream” was officially the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. His aim was not merely an end to the legal barriers to full rights for all Americans. He was also fighting to put jobs and economic opportunity within the grasp of African Americans and all others who had been shut out of prosperity. When Dr. King was cruelly taken from us, he was putting all his energy into building a national coalition through the 1968 Poor People’s March to demand a path to economic prosperity
County, I don’t set tax rates, but I do work hard every day to make sure the playing field is fair for everyone. That’s why I have fought the big interests to make sure that all properties are assessed fairly. That’s why I have taken on battles for Americans who had been left behind. Dr. King’s message was that we will not be fully free until all Americans have an equal chance to share in this country’s economic bounty. This is a banner which we must continue to hold high and do everything possible to make a reality. It is time we recognize that hard truth of our own local government: far too often the poor pay more. I see it every day in my work as St. Louis County Assessor. Residents of some of our most economically hard-pressed communities – especially in more predominantly African American communities in North County – pay much higher property tax rates than in some affluent areas. Since the largest share of property taxes supports schools, a prime reason for this disparity is the state’s failure to fully fund the school foundation formula. Because the state isn’t doing its part, local tax rates go up for some of the region’s most financially challenged residents. It’s time we all demand that the governor and the Legislature meet the state’s school funding obligations. As assessor in St. Louis

against deep-pocket interests – like fake farmers who try to claim property tax breaks for what are actually commercial properties, or casinos trying to dodge paying their fair share, or high-end retirement communities pretending to be charities when they’re not. When the well-off and well-connected don’t pay their share, the rest of us pay too much – especially those with limited incomes. I am doing and will continue to do all I can to fight for the
ordinary citizen to make sure property assessment is fair for all. Dr. King’s call to action for economic fairness requires nothing less of me, and all of us. Each of us, no matter what we do, have opportunities to strike blows for justice, to live up to Dr. King’s ideals. On this day of remembrance, we all must recommit ourselves not just to his fight for civil rights but also to his fight for economic freedom for all.

Special: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Historical perspectives: Why we honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Each year a fundamental question arises. Young people especially want to know, "Why do we honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.?" The following is a brief analysis which can be duplicated and shared with schools, churches, organizations and the media.
that new laws were needed. In 1954, the Supreme Court ruled that blacks and whites could go to the same schools, saying that "separate but equal" schools were inherently unequal. However, many people still did not want to change. It took a strong leader, a person who believed in peace and justice, to win more freedom for black Americans. Martin Luther King, Jr. was that man.
Early in our country's history, almost all black people came here as slaves. Because people in the South felt they needed cheap labor in building the land and because black people in Africa knew how to farm land like that in the South, they were taken from their homes and forced to come to America. Upon arriving in this country, they were sold to whites as slaves without rights or freedoms. In 1776, the American Colonies declared their freedom from Great Britain. In the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson wrote that "all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." That is, Jefferson declared that all citizens have the rights to be free from oppression and have equal opportunities in pursuing their goals. These ideals have been called the American Dream. To best achieve these ideals, the people of the United States developed their government along democratic principles in which the people choose who will
lead them and decide which laws should guide them. The Constitution is a document that tells how leaders are to be chosen and how laws are to be made. The laws can be changed, usually when a majority votes to do so.
felt that way. Some states in the North had outlawed slavery, but most blacks in the South remained slaves. Free blacks in the North had more rights than slaves, but they still did not have as many rights as white people.
However, in the new government, slaves were not given the same rights as white people. They were not given the opportunity to choose their leaders, start businesses, own homes or go to school. Slaves were not allowed to lead their lives in the ways they wanted. Yet, there were many people, mostly people in the North, who wanted the slaves to be free, but there was not a majority of the people in the country who
Freeing the slaves was a large issue in the Civil War. After that war, the slaves were finally given their freedom through amendments to the Constitution. The Thirteenth Amendment outlawed slavery in the United States, the Fourteenth Amendment gave blacks citizenship and the Fifteenth Amendment gave them the right to vote. Blacks became free citizens of the United States, but many whites were not hap-
py with this change. They felt that blacks should not be treated as citizens equal to whites. They passed laws to keep whites and blacks apart. In 1896, the Supreme Court decided that the "separate but equal" facilities legalized in the South did not violate the 14th Amendment. Thus, blacks could not work with whites, live in the same neighborhoods or send their children to the same schools as whites. Even so, black people throughout the nation contributed to the betterment of the country.
Between 1955 and 1968, Martin Luther King, Jr. helped change America. He brought to the world's attention how unfairly blacks were treated. He had the help of millions of Americans, but his strong leadership and unprecedented power of speech gave people the faith and courage to keep working peacefully even when others did not. This led to new laws that ended the practice of keeping people of different backgrounds apart, making life fairer for everyone. America will always remember the work of Martin Luther King, Jr. Each year, on the third Monday in January, we celebrate his birthday. This is the first national holiday to honor an individual black American. The legacy of Dr. King lives in each of us and we are responsible to promote, teach and live the American Dream.
Efforts to give black people their rights never stopped, but the changes were not enough. After World War II, many more people felt
