Since the turn of the 19th century, beauty salons and barber shops have served as special places among African Americans. They have been places not only to get hair care services, but locations where black people could talk about issues of importance in the community. There were spaces where customers played games such as chess, cards, and dominoes, while having conversations about local gossip, politics, and community affairs. Over the years, beauty salons and barber shops have come to provide a unique social function. Scholars often cite these establishments as “sanctuaries” for black people. In honor of Black History Month we profile four legendary Black barbershop and salon owners. See pages 6 and 7.

Dr. Roland A. Pattillo Lacks family is well known. In 1951, doctors took cancer cells from Ms. Lacks, a Black woman, without her knowledge or consent. Scientists used these cells to create trillions of new cells for use in medical research – HeLa cells.

Scientific discoveries using HeLa cells have improved the health, quality of life, and longevity for millions of people. They have become the “gold standard” in cellular research and were used in studies of COVID-19 and potential vaccines.

Milwaukee’s African American Trailblazers (Week 1) This month, in honor of Black History Month, I will be highlighting several African-American trailblazers. These leaders, past and present, were and continue to be strong members of our community. Their work is an example of the history that we turn to as inspiration during Black History Month. This list this month is not exhaustive but represents the many inspiring trailblazers in Milwaukee and whose reach extends throughout the State of Wisconsin. We salute all of the trailblazers over the years. Their service is so appreciated. We begin with Congresswoman Gwendolyn Moore and the late Alderwoman Marlene Johnson-Odom.

Born in Racine, WI, in 1951, Congresswoman Moore was raised in Milwaukee. The eighth of nine children, Congresswoman Moore’s father was a union factory worker and her mother was a public-school teacher. Congresswoman Moore attended North Division High School in Milwaukee, where she served as Student Council President. After graduation, she started college at Marquette University as a single, expectant mother on welfare who could only complete her education with the help of TRIO. Congresswoman Moore earned a B.A. in Political Science from Marquette. She is a mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.

Alderwoman Marlene Johnson Odom July 1, 1936 – January 9, 2017 In an article written by Mary Spizzua for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel after Former Alderwoman Marlene Johnson-Odom’s death, she was described as a quiet woman, but she knew how to get things done.

U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin introduces American Opportunity Accounts Act

Growing momentum for “Baby Bonds” with re-introduction of landmark legislation to combat the growing racial wealth gap, earns support from Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley

Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI)

Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ)

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley (MA-07)

Milwaukee County Exec. David Crowley

U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) joined Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley (MA-07) to reintroduce the American Opportunity Accounts Act, legislation seeking to create a national program commonly referred to as “Baby Bonds.” This groundbreaking bill will create a federally funded savings account for every American child at birth that will grow each year depending on family income, making economic opportunity a birthright for every American and helping close the racial wealth gap. The American Opportunity Accounts Act, also known as “Baby Bonds”, will create a new American birthright – giving every child a fair chance at economic opportunity and mobility. The legislation will create and seed a savings account of $1,000 at birth, with additional deposits of up to $2,000 each year, depending on household income. The funds will sit in an interest-bearing account, which can be accessed by account holders at age 18 for allowable uses like buying a home, paying for educational expenses or starting a business. “The growing gap between those at the top and everybody else has been at historic highs and much of the wealth gap is along racial lines. Too many people are being left behind by Washington and we should take

bold action to start helping them get ahead by creating economic opportunity for all Americans,” said Senator Baldwin. “Wisconsin’s economy is strongest when we extend and expand opportunity for everyone. This legislation will create upward economic mobility for every child in America. With this investment, we can help close the racial wealth gap and advance racial equity across our economy.” “The American Opportunity Accounts Act is one of the most important investments in equity Washington can make to help close the racial wealth gap, increase the net worth of millions of families, and set the next generation up for success,” said Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley. “The Milwaukee metro area has one of the largest wealth gaps in the country, it’s just one of the many disparities that are the legacy of generations of policies that benefited white Americans on the backs of Black Americans,indigenous peoples, and other people of color. The problem was created by policy in Washington, and now Washington has an opportunity to fix it. The time for change is always now and we can start with swift passage of the American Opportunity Accounts Act.” Over the last few years, momentum for Baby Bonds has grown in Congress and

in state legislatures across the country. In just the last year, the legislation has gone from 1 to 14 Senate cosponsors, covering the full breadth of the Democratic caucus, including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and state-level proposals have been drafted in multiple states. Recent studies by Columbia University and Morningstar have found that a program like Baby Bonds would substantially close the racial wealth gap in America. “To truly ‘build back better’ our economy, we cannot ignore the extreme and persistent wealth inequality that deprives kids of economic opportunity right out of the gate,” said Senator Booker. “We know this growing gap has been driven in part by federal policies and a federal tax code that subsidizes asset building for some Americans but fails to extend and expand that opportunity for all Americans. Baby Bonds will start to level the playing field. In a country as wealthy as ours, every person should have access to economic opportunity and the chance to build assets and create wealth. I am proud to re-introduce the American Opportunity Accounts Act with 14 of my Senate Democratic colleagues. This legislation represents an ambitious, evidence-based, and practical approach to building a foundation for wealth-building and opportunity for all

Americans.” “The racial wealth gap in my district and across the country is stark and only getting worse, exacerbating inequities and denying far too many people of color an opportunity to thrive,” said Congresswoman Pressley. “These disparities are the direct result of generations of policy violence exacted against Black and brown communities, so we must be every bit as intentional in advancing policies that center racial and economic justice – policies like Baby Bonds. Baby Bonds are one of the most effective tools at our

Each year, children would receive up to an additional $2,000 deposit into their American Opportunity Account, depending on family income. These funds would sit in a federally insured account managed by the Treasury Department, achieving roughly 3 percent interest. Account holders may access the money once they reach age 18 and use the funds for allowable uses like homeownership, financing a higher education or starting a small business— the kind of investments that change life trajectories. The American Opportunity Accounts Act is endorsed by the Black Millennial Convention, Center for Law and Social Policy, Children’s Defense Fund, Color of Change, Environmental Working Group, Faith for Black Lives, First Focus Campaign for Children, LIFT, NAACP, National Alliance of Community Economic Development Associations, National Association for Latino Community Asset Builders, National Coalition

By establishing Baby Bonds as a birthright, our bill will provide every child an opportunity to pursue higher education, purchase a home, and build wealth for generations to come.” “Giving our youngest Americans and their working parents an economic opportunity like baby bonds would deliver strong economic relief and mark an investment in our collective future,” said Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. “I am proud to back this legislation led by Senator Booker and Rep.

The Milwaukee Times' Black Excellence Awards Presents Honoring Black History Our Black Owned Salons and Barbershops William (Monk) Campbell, 84, has been cutting hair for more than 60 years. Since 1981, he has been the owner and head barber at Monk’s Barber Shop. William said his grandmother, Bessie Campbell, read a detective story in which the lead character was named “Monk.” William said she began calling him by that name when he was a young child and he hasn’t been able to shake it, so he named his shop after it. William is a self-confessed jazz fanatic and inside the shop, William has decorated the place to resemble a barber shop from the era when jazz was king. Most of the antiques, including the chairs and cash register, are still fully operable. In addition to himself, William employs two other barbers, but since each chair is located in its own cubicle, the experience feels more relaxing and private. William said he often plays traditional jazz music through the sound system in the shop. Back in the day, when the Green Bay Packers played in Milwaukee, William said he would often cut the hair of Willie Davis, Willie Wood and other Lombardi-era African American Packer players. He often cut hair for Hank Aaron and Willie Mays as well as many other African American baseball players. He also cut hair for many of the African American players at Marquette University during the 1970s when the school won or was a finalist in several NCAA basketball championships. William is the older of two children born to Charity (Sisemore) and William Campbell. The family moved from Decatur, AL to Milwaukee

nut and William worked for her for more than 15 years. He then purchased a location on Green Bay Avenue near the intersection of Martin Luther King Jr. Drive in partnership with her, but the city of Milwaukee bought that property prompting his move to the current location at 4394 North 27th Street after about three years.

William attended North Division High School and enlisted in the United States Air Force in 1953, receiving an honorable discharge in 1957. One of the two buddies with whom he enlisted, Joe Sellers, convinced William that he should attend barber school. He received his degree from Milwaukee Vocational School (now MATC). Joe Sellers' mother, Mildred, was the first woman in the state of Wisconsin to receive a barber’s license. She owned a shop on 14th Street and Wal-

Gladys (Williams) Weston, Gladys and the Clips (GATC) salon owner, has successfully kept her doors opened for 33 years. The salon is located at 6937 W. Fond du Lac Avenue, on Milwaukee's northwest side. Gladys knew that she wanted to become a beautician ever since she was a young girl in her hometown, Helena, AR. She shared, “I was always combing someone’s hair during my lunch breaks when I attended Lakeview

High School.” Gladys said that she wanted everyone around her to look pretty. Following high school, that desire led her to attend the Deluxe Beauty School in Pine Bluff, AR. In 1963, she was licensed in the state of Arkansas to style hair and to open her first salon. After two years of operating her own salon, she moved to Milwaukee, WI to seek more professional and personal opportunities. When first arriving, Gladys made a career change and worked for MGIC Mortgage Co., for 14 years. By 1979, Gladys could no longer ignore her passion for hair so she attended and

From 1977 to 1997, William held a full-time job with the Miller Brewing Company. For the first seven years, he worked the third shift at Miller and would then cut hair. When he was promoted to first shift, he had other barbers in charge of the shop until his shift ended. William has six children: Anthony Clark, Todd Campbell, Rodney Campbell, Mark Campbell, Tony Campbell and Shela (Adams) Penn. Rodney is senior pastor at Crossing Jordan Church in Milwaukee.

graduated from IBA School of Cosmetology-Milwaukee. That same year, she received a beautician license from the state of Wisconsin. In 1983, the state licensed her to own and operate Gladys and the Clips salon. As the owner, Gladys oversees customer service for GATC. She strives to provide her customers with excellent hair care services and products while they relax in a pleasant atmosphere. Her salon remains competitive by offering weaves, waves, relaxers, natural hair services, eyebrow shaping plus hair cutting and coloring. Unlike most of the 200 Black hair salons in Milwaukee, she still offers a good old fashioned “press & curl.” Gladys, who usually styles 15 heads a day herself, stated, “I have been doing hair for 53 years and I still love it.” Her clients have often told her that she is like

Monk’s Barber Shop has been closed for renovations since November 17, 2018 after a fire caused by a defective space heater in one of the upstairs apartments. Fortunately no one was injured, but the only electricity currently being supplied to the building is by generators that William is running to keep the pipes from freezing. He said everything is on schedule for the renovated barber salon to reopen in February. He dismissed his current problem as a minor setback. “I’m 84 years old,” he said. “I’ve seen a lot during that time.” William is a 2019 Black Excellence Urban Entrepreneur honoree.

a psychologist because she really listens to them. Gladys admits that being a good listener, so that customers can share their hairstyling goals plus vent, is the key to her success. Gladys is also responsible for the overall management of her business and staff. She ensures that her stylists have up-to-date licenses and the training needed to achieve the highest level of professionalism. She also develops and mentors them in salon management. Currently eight of the former stylists she mentored own their own salons. “It has been very important for me to have a good support team,” she stated. That team includes her husband Alphonse Weston, daughter Stacy Theus and grandson Ashunti (Putt) Daniels. Stacy is a teacher and hairstylist working beside her mother

at GATC. Gladys says her daughter’s loving care has been extremely valuable. In addition, Mr. and Mrs. Daniels always made sure she has a homemade meal. The homemade dressing was always on time. She has been blessed in so many ways by many of her friends and clients. She especially appreciates the incredible support from friends Mae Ollie Dotson and Marilyn Hampton. Gladys continues to be active in church and community service. She is a member of Progressive Baptist Church and frequently visits nursing homes to style residents' hair. Gladys explained “Making the ladies look pretty seems to make them feel so much better!” Finally, Gladys has a desire to continue to mentor and encourage other women. Gladys is a 2017 Black Excellence Minority Business honoree.

Madam C.J. Walker, the first Black American woman to be a self-made millionaire Sarah Breedlove was born in Delta, La., on Dec. 23, 1867. She was the daughter of Owen and Minerva Anderson Breedlove. Both had formerly been enslaved. She was an orphan by the age of 7 and moved in with her older sister. At the age of 14, Sarah married Moses McWilliams. She maintained that she married young because of early hardships and in order to get a home of her own. In 1885, they had a daughter named Lelia, who later changed her name to A’Lelia and became a central figure of the Harlem Renaissance. Sarah’s husband died in 1887, leaving her to care for their daughter on her own. Sarah then moved to St. Louis where three of her brothers lived and worked as barbers. She worked as a laundress and attended night school. Around this time, she started to lose her hair and noticed a lot of other black women had the same problem. Poor hygiene, diet and scalp diseases like dandruff led to brittle hair and hair loss. She experimented with many ingredients and finally came up with a secret formula to stimulate hair growth. Her “secret formula” included sulfur and a more frequent cleansing of the hair and scalp. Sarah started selling her products door-to-door in black neighborhoods in St. Louis. Then she moved to Denver in 1905 and married Charles J. Walker. With www.milwaukeetimesnews.com

her business becoming more successful, Sarah decided to adopt a new name – Madam C.J. Walker. In 1910, Madam C.J. Walker set up a laboratory and beauty school in Indianapolis. At the height of her career, between 1911 and her death in 1919, her annual sales increased. Madam Walker was repeatedly referred to as a millionaire during the last few years of her life. However, in a New York Times magazine article and later in a letter to F. B. Ransom dated March 4, 1918, she specifically denied this. Certainly, by the end of her life, with total ownership of the company and with her holdings in real estate, her wealth could be measured in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. She had several thousand agents around the country to sell her full line of products for growing and beautifying hair. These included Wonderful Hair Grower, Temple Grower, shampoo, Glossine (pressing oil) and Tetter Salve, a remedy for the scalp. (Continued on pg. 8)

Sidney Fumbanks is a man who values the importance of family because he had fourteen siblings. His father and mother nourished and educated eight boys and six girls. Grooming was a very important attribute in the Fumbanks family. Sidney’s father didn’t send any of his sons to the barbershop because his mother had played the role of the family’s barber. Sidney’s brother Frank was the first family member to acquire the barbering skill and Sidney followed. Sidney decided to go to barber school in the 1960's due to an employment opportunity with American Motors in Kenosha, Wisconsin from 1962 to 1966. In 1965, Sidney moved to Milwaukee after residing in Chicago as a young man. Sidney’s employment with American Motors was shortened due a major lay-off. Sidney decided to utilize his barbering skills which he learned as a youth from his parents. Sidney’s career as a barber was tested after he accepted an apprenticeship with Ed Jenkins Barbershop located at 1345 West Center Street. Sidney worked at Jenkins’ Barbershop from 1966 to 1969; then he went on to J’s Barbershop at 1345 West Hadley Street as a journeyman for John Jackson. After a brief stint at J’s Barbershop, Sidney opened his own business, Sid’s Shear Magic Hairstyles on May 5, 1980.

Madam C.J. Walker (Continued from pg. 7) Madam Walker was very generous and gave back to her community by contributing to African-American organizations in Indianapolis, such as the Senate Avenue Young Men’s Christian Association, Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church and Flanner House. She did not limit her generosity to Indiana, however, and also gave money to the Tuskegee Institute and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Both Walker and her only child, A’Lelia enjoyed many genres of music including opera, classical, ragtime and blues. A major patron of the arts, Madam Walker supported African American musicians, actors and artists. Though most of her activities on behalf of blacks were aimed toward education and the building of personal and racial pride, Madam Walker fought against prejudice. In 1915, she began a lawsuit to protest discrimination at a theater in Indianapolis. She encouraged her agents to develop their political muscle and advocate for civil and human rights. In 1917, she urged the group to decry lynchings in the South. During World War I, she was a member of a delegation to Washington to protest the War Department’s segregationist policies to President

Woodrow Wilson. Madam Walker worked hard throughout her life, which took a toll on her health. Between traveling constantly, managing her business and speaking at many functions, she developed health problems, including high blood pressure and kidney failure. She became very ill while on a trip to St. Louis in April 1919. She did not recover and died on May 25, 1919, at her Irvington-on-Hudson, New York estate, Villa Lewaro. Madam Walker’s legacy as an entrepreneur, social activist and patron of the arts is celebrated at the Madam Walker Legacy Center. Constructed in 1927, the building is on the National Register of Historic Places and is a National Historic Landmark. Walker family members remain involved in the preservation of her legacy through the Madam Walker Legacy Center and through Villa Lewaro. They share her story through books, lectures and the Madam Walker Family Archives, a collection of Walker photos, business records, clothing, furniture and personal artifacts. Madam Walker’s descendants retain rights of publicity and registered trademarks associated with certain intellectual property. The official Walker biography website, which is maintained by her g reat-g reat-g randdaughter and biographer, is www. madamcjwalker.com.

THE PUBLISHER'S BOOKSHELF

By; Lynda Jackson Conyers Publisher, Milwaukee Times Weekly Newspaper

True Stories of Black History that inspire Black History was the brainchild of historian Carter G. Woodson. Since 1976, the month of February has been officially designated as Black History month. In my column, I will share a list of books from my late husband’s personal library. Nathan was an avid reader. He enjoyed reading about the contributions and achievements of His people. He was a proud Black veteran and businessman who loved this community. Amid the harsh repression of slavery , African Americans have managed to preserve the culture of their ancestry, articulate their struggle and sustain hopes for a better future. Please take time and read about our precious as well as rich history…… Harriet Tubman: Imagining a Life

remarkable life of Harriet to life as never before. Tubman, the “Moses of Her People.” Tubman was an escaped slave, lumberjack, laundress, raid leader, nurse, fund-raiser, cook, intelligence gatherer, Underground Railroad organizer, and abolitionist. In Harriet Tubman, Lowry creates a portrait enriched with lively imagined vignettes that transform the legendary icon into flesh and blood. We travel with Tubman on slave-freeing raids in the heart of the ConfedBy: Beverly Lowry eracy, along the treacherous Published: 2008 route of the Underground Publisher: Anchor Books Railroad, and onto the batPage count: 418 tlefields of the Civil War.

dramatically addresses the painful history of America and the slave trade. Based on the Black Holocaust Exhibit, "Lest We Forget" is history brought to life by Velma Maia Thomas, curator. Accompanying the book's documents, Thomas' exquisite prose is interwoven with the moving words of slaves themselves.

Nat King Cole By Daniel Mark Epstein Published:1999 Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux Page count: 400 The first major biography of the great jazz pianist and singer, written with the full cooperation of his family. When he died in 1965, at age forty-five, Nat King Cole was already a musical legend. As famous as Frank Sinatra, he had sold more records than anyone but Bing Crosby. Written with the narrative pacing of a novel, this absorbing biography traces Cole's rise to fame, from boy-wonder jazz genius to megastar in a racist society. Daniel Mark Epstein brings Cole and his times to vivid life: his precocious entrance onto the vibrant jazz scene of his hometown, Chicago; the creation of his trio and their rise to fame; the crossover success of such songs as "Straighten Up and Fly Right"; and his years as a pop singer and television star, the first African American to have his own show. Epstein examines Cole's insistence on changing society through his art rather than political activism, the romantic love story of Cole and Maria Ellington, and Cole's famous and influential image of calm, poise, and elegance, which concealed the personal turmoil and anxiety that undermined his health. www.milwaukeetimesnews.com

Self care—handling mental health, stress and trauma By Sandra Millon Underwood, RN, PhD, FAAN Professor, UW-Milwaukee School of Nursing It’s well-documented that stress and trauma can affect our mental state, even in the best of times. But months of anxiety, fear, grief, and social isolation can take their toll on our mental health, particularly during this pandemic. Parents are coping with ensuring their children continue their education, while juggling jobs and other priorities. Some people have lost their jobs. Some have lost loved ones. Some are alone, with no social interaction. And others are experiencing difficulties as they face an uncertain future. During unprecedented and challenging times some people turn to their faith to sustain them. But that is not always enough. Sometimes talking with a trusted friend, relative or professional can be helpful. Others have found a greater sense of calm after journaling and mindfulness. Whatever works for you, the key to maintaining a positive outlook and healthy mental state is, first, acknowledging your feelings and, second, seeking help if you need it.

According to Lola Awoyinka, a public and community health graduate student at the Medical College of Wisconsin, before the pandemic, data from a Community Health Survey identified that 33 percent of African Americans in Milwaukee County responded that they had a mental health condition in the past three years. While there is not great data on what has changed during the pandemic, a recent study published in Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) chronicles one of the first national estimates of how the pandemic has adversely affected mental health. According to the study, three times as many Americans met criteria for a depression diagnosis during the pandemic than before it. Arnitta Holliman, MS, LPC, CPC, is the ReCAST Program Manager for the Office of Violence Prevention,

City of Milwaukee Health Department. She said that their office is receiving quite a few calls from people and community activists seeking information for those coping with or surviving violence and providing mental health referrals. “Whether it’s a violence survivor, loss of loved ones, or interpersonal violence, we try to connect people to resources and information to assist them,” said Holliman. As a licensed professional counselor with a master’s degree in clinical psychology, apart from her work with the City, Holliman acknowledges that one of the best ways to cope with the pandemic is to stay connected. “Everyone has been affected in some way by this pandemic. Whether it’s following stay-at-home orders, loss of jobs or the loss of loved ones, we’ve all been touched in some manner. It’s well documented that people experiencing mental health issues are prone to isolate even more. If you or a loved one is struggling mentally, it’s important to stay connected to your support system and don’t be afraid to let trusted friends or family know that you are struggling. Rather than isolate, it also helps to focus on what’s going well. When it feels as if everything has shifted and is falling apart, compounded uncertainties like the pandemic, tend to cause people to feel even more hopeless and helpless. If things become too overwhelming, be sure to connect with a therapist or psychologist,” said Holliman. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), since COVID-19 many of us are facing challenges that can be stressful, overwhelming, and cause strong emotions. Public health actions, such as social distancing, are necessary to reduce the spread of COVID-19, but they can also make us feel isolated and lonely, increasing stress and anxiety. Learning to cope with stress in a healthy way will make you, the people you care about, and those around you become more resilient. Stress not only affects you emotionally but can also take a toll on you physically. For

Gale Johnson, Director of the Wisconsin Well Women Program for the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, says that she advises people to adopt a hobby to take their minds off challenges. “Everyone should have a hobby; it’s something you do for YOU. It doesn’t have to be expensive, but it allows you to focus on other things and it may even be something that you can share with others. Hobbies are not a cure-all, but they can help. COVID-19 has restricted many activities, so while it’s important to stay safe, it’s important to reach out to others virtually or by phone to stay connected and take care of ourselves. Just being at home alone is a bit much. Anything one can do to take a moment for themselves helps,” said Johnson. Below are some CDC recommendations that you can help yourself and others stay mentally healthy: • Limit watching, reading, or listening to news stories, including those on social media. It’s good to be informed but hearing about the pandemic constantly can be upsetting. Consider limiting news to just a couple times a day and disconnecting from phone, TV and computer screens for a while. • Self-care. ◘ Take deep breaths, stretch, or meditate external icon. ◘ Eat healthy, well-bal-
