A new era begins: The Inauguration of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris
On Wednesday, January 20, 2021, President-elect Joe Biden was sworn in as the 46th President of the United States along with Vice President-elect Kamala Harris. It was a mixed celebration as Vice President Harris is the first female, and Black and Asian vice president, and the new administration marks a big change from the administration of former President Donald Trump. However, with the threat of the COVID-19 pandemic and the tension from
the attempted insurrection that occurred at the Capitol two weeks prior, the festivities were marred, to say the least. With many issues left unaddressed by the outgoing administration, there is very little time to celebrate as the pandemic, and the resulting economic crisis looming means that the new administration will have to hit the ground running.

'History has its eyes on us.' Poet Amanda Gorman seeks right words for Presidential Inauguration When Amanda Gorman was asked to write a poem for President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration on Wednesday January 20, 2021, she didn't know where to begin. The nation had just been through a bitter election. Americans are as divided as ever. And the pandemic continues to rage. "It was really daunting to begin the poem because you don't even really know the entry point in which to step into the murk," she said in an interview on January 18, 2021 with NPR's Steve Inskeep. Gorman started by doing the same thing she always does — doing her research. She steeped herself in the literature of past inaugural poets. She looked to orators from throughout history who have spoken not just about a divided America, but also a united America. She read Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, even Winston Churchill. Day by day, Gorman chipped away at the poem. She was about halfway through, she says, when on Jan. 6, an angry mob of proTrump extremists staged an insurrection on the Capitol. "I was like, 'Well, this is something we need to talk about'." Later that night, she finished the poem, titled "The Hill We Climb." In it, she writes:

say 'girl' or if I can say 'poetry.' And you know, doing the best with the poem I could." But that did little to stunt what has been a meteoric rise. In 2014, Gorman was named the Youth Poet Laureate of Los Angeles at the age of 16 and then the first National Youth Poet Laureate three years later. When she steps to the microphone on Wednesday, Gorman will become the youngest person in recent
"We've seen a force that would shatter our nation rather than share it, Would destroy our country if it meant delaying democracy. And this effort very nearly succeeded. But while democracy can be periodically delayed, It can never be permanently defeated. In this truth, in this faith we trust. For while we have our eyes on the future, History has its eyes on us." Gorman is no stranger to having to change her work midstream. Like Biden, who has spoken openly about having stuttered as a child, Gorman has had to overcome a childhood speech impediment of her own. She had difficulty saying certain letters of the alphabet — the letter R was especially tough — which caused her to have
to constantly "self-edit and self-police." "I'd want to say 'girls can change the world,' but I cannot say so many letters in that statement, so I'd say things like 'young women can shape the globe.'" Gorman says she never expected to become a "public occasion poet," but at just 22-years-old the Los Angeles native has already performed everywhere from the Library of Congress to the observation deck at the Empire State Building. It hasn't always been an easy path. She remembers when she first started performing in public and worrying about which words she'd even be able to say out loud correctly. "I would be in the bathroom scribbling five minutes before trying to figure out if I could say 'Earth' or if I can

memory to deliver a poem at a presidential inauguration. She'll also be continuing a tradition that includes luminaries such as Robert Frost and Maya Angelou — a personal hero who was mute growing up as a child. "I think there is a real history of orators who have had to struggle, a type of imposed voicelessness, you know, having that stage at inauguration," says Gorman. "So it's really special for me."

Milwaukee County’s Office on African American Affairs celebrates Black History Month The Office on African American Affairs (OAAA) serves to support Milwaukee County and empower the community to make the County’s vision ‘by achieving racial equity, Milwaukee is the healthiest county in Wisconsin’ a reality. Since our inception OAAA has been a key partner in helping County leaders confront racial disparities and inequity. This set the stage for Milwaukee County to become the first jurisdiction in the United States to declare “racism a public health crisis” in 2019. Building upon the declaration we have been working to cement an explic-

the County’s strategic plan. Our work is challenged by two pandemics: COVID-19, which has widened disparities and disproportionately impacts Black and Brown communities; and racism,
which continues to fuel polarization, unrest, and violence across our county and nation. We are proud of the work we’ve done to aid the County’s response to both pandemics, partnering with local groups to bring culturally relevant messages to hard to reach communities, and connecting community activists, organizers, and advocates with County leaders to drive community-based solutions.

Social justice issues in America: Prison reform Prison reform is a movement to improve conditions inside prisons, the effectiveness of the criminal justice system and to reduce recidivism and strengthen public safety. Last week, statistics were given regarding the number of persons of color incarcerated in America. To end mass incarceration, reform is needed. Advocates of prison reform realize there is unfairness in our justice system as offenders, mainly of color, are unfairly sentenced. The Equal Justice Initiative (“EJI”)1 are fierce advocates for justice. The EJI reports that: • The U.S. has 5 percent of the world’s population but nearly 25 percent of its incarcerated population. • Spending on jails and prisons reached $87 billion in 2015, an increase of 1000 percent from the $7.4 billion spent in 1975. • From 1980 to 2017, the number of women in jails and prisons in the U.S. grew 750 percent. Over 225,000 are incarcerated today. Prison reform is considered a social justice issue because of the racial disparities that persist at every level of the criminal justice system. Additionally, the tough-oncrime policies enacted as a result of the 1994 Crime Bill not only led to mass incarceration, but the toughon-crime policies are deep-

ly rooted in the belief that black and brown people are inherently guilty and dangerous. Because many who are caught up in the criminal justice system are unable to afford the amount of money it takes to investigate their case or, according to the EJI, obtain the help they need, leads to wrongful convictions and excessive sentences. Some prison reform areas advocates want continually addressed are prison education programs where inmates are allowed the opportunity to enroll in courses behind bars. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, investing in an inmate’s education helps reduce recidivism.2 Prison safety is another important issue.

Special Edition: Celebrating Dr. King
‘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.

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 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 of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania! Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado! Let freedom ring from the curvaceous peaks of California! But not only that; let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia! Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee! Let freedom ring from every hill and every molehill of Mississippi. From every mountainside, let freedom ring. When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God’s children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, “Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!”

Special Edition: Celebrating Dr. King
Sculpture Milwaukee's downtown exhibition focuses on cultural issues If you’re walking in downtown Milwaukee, you’ll see some of the country’s finest artworks that resonate with the cultural issues before us today. The fourth edition of Sculpture Milwaukee’s annual free exhibition stretches from downtown Wisconsin Avenue into the Historic Third Ward, with 19 works featured, according to a release from the organization. A prominent work making its international debut right here in Milwaukee is “Within the Folds (Dialogue I)” by British artist Thomas J. Price. A nine-foot statue of a standing Black man wearing a hoodie, sneakers, and sweatpants, stands near the US Bank Center, and contributes “boldly to the cultural discussion around race and equality,” according to the release. Nari Ward’s “Apollo/Poll, 2017” is a replica of the famous Apollo Theatre sign, but the sculpture highlights the word “poll” with red LED lights to recognize the bedrock of American democracy while realizing there are movements to disenfranchise the rights of many Americans.

UR HISTORY
AN EXPLORATION OF OUR LIVES AND LEGACIES
Harris will be the first female, Black and Asian vice president, but not the first vice president of color Vice President Kamala D. Harris is a trailblazer in many ways. She is the first female vice president, the first Black vice president, the first South Asian vice president, and, perhaps, the first vice president to sport Chuck Taylors. But, as some have mistakenly claimed, she is not the first multiracial vice president or the first one of color. That distinction belongs to Charles Curtis, who served as vice president to Herbert Hoover from 1929 to 1933. Curtis’s mother was a Native American who belonged to the Kaw Nation, and he was raised on a reservation by his maternal grandparents, where he spoke the indigenous language and lived in a tepee. Kaw territory originally spanned across what is now eastern and northern Kansas. The state got its name from “Kanza,” what European explorers and traders called the Kaw, according to the Kaw Nation website. As White settlers moved West and disease decimated the Kaw, a series of treaties shrank Kaw territory by 99 percent. Kaw people who were classified by Whites as “full bloods” and “half-breeds” were assigned different allotments of land. Curtis’s mother and maternal grandparents were on “Half Breed Reservation No. Four,” directly across the river from Topeka, where they ran a ferry business, according to a Senate biography. His father was a White man who didn’t provide a particularly stable home for his son; he left altogether after Curtis’s mother died when he was 3.
Curtis moved with his grandparents to the main reservation, where he lived until he was 9 or 10. His first language was Kanza, and he recalled later, “I had my bows and arrows and joined the other boys in shooting arrows at nickels, dimes, and quarters which visitors would place in split sticks.” In his teen years, he was sent back to Topeka to live with his paternal grandparents, who wanted to “civilize” him, but he rebelled. Having spent his youth riding bareback, he soon became a locally famous horse jockey, called “The Indian Boy” or “Indian Charley.” “His mounts made a lot of money for the local gamblers and prostitutes who bet on him,” according to the Senate biography, “and he recalled that after one race a madam bought him ‘a new suit of clothes, boots, hat and all,’ and had a new jockey suit made for him.” Then the Kaw, whose population had shrunk to about 500, were forced to move to a reservation in Oklahoma. Curtis was still on the tribal rolls and tried to rejoin his grandparents on the journey, but his grandmother discouraged it. She wanted him to go to school and assimilate into White society. “I took her splendid advice,” he later recounted, “and the next morning as the wagons pulled out for the south, bound for Indian Territory, I mounted my pony and with my belongings in a flour sack, returned to Topeka and school.” It was a turning point, and though Curtis never hid his ancestry or tried to “pass” for White, he spent the rest
Hoover and Curtis were not close — Curtis was only picked to unite different factions of the Republican Party of the day — and he was rarely invited to Cabinet meetings or public appearances with the president. In the 1932 musical “Of Thee I Sing,” a character based on Curtis can get into the White House only by taking a public tour.

It may be just as well he didn’t play an important role, since Hoover is largely remembered as one of the worst presidents in American history. His feckless response to the 1929 stock market crash undoubtedly made the ensuing Great Depression worse. Hoover, and Curtis along with him, were voted out after one term. Curtis spent the rest of his life practicing law in Washington. He died in 1936 and was buried in Topeka. At its lowest, the Kaw Nation dwindled to fewer than 200 people. In 1960, its Oklahoma reservation was lost when it was inundated with water to form a reservoir. In 2000, the last “full-blooded” Kaw died; the Kanza language almost died with him. But the Kaw Nation has persevered. The tribe is once again federally recognized and now numbers nearly 3,600 people. Kaw children are no longer pushed to “assimilate” the way Curtis was but instead take lessons to revive the Kanza language. When asked on the phone how members of the Kaw Nation feel about Curtis today, a representative said it wasn’t her place to say. Then she hung up.

Let’s talk about hair, Happy New Year, Happy New You!
Dtangld Hair Salon Suite
Dtangld has been promoting that mantra since the beginning back in 2014 and setting yourself up for a fresh start at the beginning of the year has no doubt been a tradition since the calendar came to be. We’d like to thank the editors of the Milwaukee Times for the opportunity to share with you a few tips to help you start to cultivate that “new you” attitude, starting at the top: Our head of hair. Sure, there is that love/ hate relationship with our hair. Long, short, straight, wavy, loose curls, kinky curls, twists, twist-outs, roller sets, French braids, micro-braids, relaxed, a.k.a. creamy crack, natural, locks, weaves and wigs—you get the idea here. One is rarely happy with what they have, right? Starting now, take time for you and start at the top. During these cold, dry winter months, is your hair starting to feel like a wiry mess? Curls not holding as long as they used to. Ends feeling frazzled. Color looking dull. Start thinking about whether a good moisturizing treatment might help. When your hair is dry, your color will look faded and lack the vibrancy you intended when you got your color.
Dtangld owner and stylist Desmond Smith (right), and his wife Debora (left). Moisturizing frequently helps that color stay radiant looking day in and day out. Moisturized hair is happy hair and having hydrated hair is even more important for color treated hair.
The key here is to just START. Take it one day at a time and keep the focus on you. In the coming weeks START making changes for yourself. Changes for the better—and start at the top-your hair!

Understanding diabetes to live your best life By Sandra Millon Underwood, FAAN Professor, UW-Milwaukee School of Nursing Many of us grew up in households where we heard our elders talk about people who had ‘the sugar’. As adults, we have come to understand that what they were referring to was diabetes. The good news is that with some lifestyle changes, rather than being a death sentence, diabetes can be managed. According to the Federal Drug Administration (FDA), 34.2 million people in the United States—just over one in ten people—have diabetes. In addition, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) National Diabetes Statistics Report (2020), found that about 88 million adults—approximately one in three people—have been diagnosed with prediabetes. Lola Awoyinka, a full-time doctoral student in public and community health at the Medical College of Wisconsin, has researched volumes of data surrounding local diabetes disparities. She reports that, according to data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, nearly one in six African American adults in Milwaukee County—or 15 percent—have been diagnosed with diabetes. Whether you’ve been newly diagnosed, have been fighting against type 1 or type 2 diabetes for a while or are helping a loved one, knowing the difference between the two and understanding the resources, health tips and managing proper food intake can help you live your best
Diagnosing Prediabetes or Diabetes In order to be diagnosed with prediabetes or diabetes depends on your A1C, a blood test for type 2 diabetes and prediabetes. It measures your average blood glucose, or blood sugar, level over the past 3 months. The following are the measurements that determine what you have.
Normal: Below 5.7% Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4% Diabetes: 6.5% or above
Clayborn Benson life. According to the American Diabetes Association type 1 diabetes occurs at every age and in people of every race, shape, and size. In type 1 diabetes, the body does not produce insulin. The body breaks down the carbohydrates you eat into blood sugar that it uses for energy—and insulin is a hormone that the body needs to get glucose from the bloodstream into the cells of the body. With the help of insulin and other treatments, individuals can learn to manage their diabetes and live longer, healthier lives. Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes. In this instance, the body doesn’t use insulin properly. And while some people can control their blood sugar levels with healthy eating and exercise, others may need medication or insulin to help manage it. Prediabetes is when the blood sugar is higher than it should be but not high enough for your doctor to diagnose diabetes. More than a third of people in the United States have it, but most don’t know it. Prediabetes can make you more likely to get Type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Exercising more and losing extra pounds, even as little as five to seven percent of your body weight, can lower those risks. In any of these instances, knowing and understanding your A1C is critical. According to the CDC, the A1C test—also known as the hemoglobin A1C or HbA1c test—is a simple blood test that measures the average blood sugar levels over the past three months. It’s a commonly used test to diagnose prediabetes and diabetes and is also the main test to help manage your diabetes. Higher A1C levels are linked to diabetes complications, so reaching and maintaining your individual A1C goal is important. Clayborn Benson, founding Executive Director of the Wisconsin Black Historical Society/ Museum, understands and appreciates the benefits of lifestyle chang-

es. When he was first diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, his A1C hovered around 12. He changed his eating habits and made a conscious effort to incorporate exercise into his daily regime. After about seven months, Benson is feeling better, has more energy, and during his last check up, his A1C was 6.9. “Before I changed my diet and started exercising, I was experiencing dizziness and, at one point, was unable to keep food down. I was extremely sick for one week last year—that’s when I knew I had to take my diabetes diagnosis seriously because typically nothing stops me from living my best life, but this did. I incorporated more fruits and vegetables into my diet and cut down on carbs. I also started taking daily walks. Now that I understand how this disease can adversely affect me, I’m not going to stop. Diet and exercise have made a huge difference and drastically improved my quality of life,” Benson said. Chef Marvin, who demonstrates healthy cooking options on HEAL’s Facebook page each Thursday at 12 noon, is a staunch advocate of healthy eating. “When we talk about healthy cooking, I tend to cut corners in the caloric department, but not in nutrition. One easy way to do this is to cut salt from the diet and you can do this without compromising flavor. There are also many ways to eliminate carbohydrates and glucose to make recipes more diabetic-friendly. You can also use meat substitutes to fulfill nutrition goals. For example, mung bean products can be used as meat substitutes. A cup of these beans only has 60 calories while the same quantity of soybean products that are typically used as meat substitutes have 200 calories,” said Chef Marvin. The Office of Minority Health and Health Equity (OMHHE) at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is building relationships with the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and other groups to help Americans prevent and treat diabetes, and to specifically address the disparities surrounding how severely it affects minority groups. Typically, racial and ethnic minorities have higher rates of diabetes, worse diabetes control and are more likely to experience complications. The reason for this disparity in minorities is a combination of risk factors, including lack of access to health care,
socioeconomic status, cultural attitudes, and behaviors. These factors can become barriers to preventing diabetes and effectively managing diabetes once diagnosed. In addition, diabetes can progress faster in minority populations. This rapid progression can be compounded by a poor diet, obesity, and a sedentary life.

It’s our reality right now. But it won’t be if we do what it takes to beat COVID-19. Vaccines are coming, but until enough of us are vaccinated, we all still need to wear our masks, stay at least six feet from others, and avoid indoor social gatherings.
