Civil rights leader, MLK aide Joseph Lowery dies at 98 The Rev. Joseph E. Lowery, a veteran civil rights leader who helped the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., found the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and fought against racial discrimination, died March 27, 2020, a family statement said. He was 98. A charismatic and fiery preacher, Lowery led the SCLC for two decades — restoring the organization’s financial stability and pressuring businesses not to trade with South Africa’s apartheid-era regime — before retiring in 1997. Lowery, considered the dean of civil rights veterans, lived to celebrate a November 2008 milestone that few of his movement colleagues thought they would ever witness — the election of an African American president. At an emotional victory celebration for President-elect Barack Obama in Atlanta, Lowery said, "America tonight is in the process of being born again." An early and enthusiastic supporter of Obama over then-Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton, Lowery also gave the benediction at Obama's inauguration. "We thank you for the empowering of thy servant, our 44th president, to inspire our nation to believe that, yes, we can work together to achieve a more perfect union,” he said. In 2009, Obama awarded Lowery the Presidential

Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor. In a March 28th statement, Obama said Lowery “changed the face of America.” “He carried the baton longer and surer than almost anybody. It falls to the rest of us now to pick it up and never stop moving forward until we finish what he started — that journey to justice,” he said. Obama said he and his wife, Michelle, were grateful for Lowery's “personal and spiritual support he offered us from the early days of our campaign ... and for the friendship and counsel he provided ever since.” In another high-profile moment, Lowery drew a standing ovation at the 2006 funeral of King’s widow, Coretta Scott King, when he criticized the war in Iraq, saying, "For war, billions more, but no more for the poor."

The comment also drew head shakes from then-President George Bush and his father, former president George H.W. Bush, who were seated behind the pulpit. Lowery's involvement in civil rights grew naturally out of his Christian faith. He often preached that racial discrimination in housing, employment and health care was at odds with fundamental Christian values such as human worth and the brotherhood of man. "I've never felt your ministry should be totally devoted to making a heavenly home. I thought it should also be devoted to making your home here heavenly," he once said. Lowery remained active in fighting issues such as war, poverty and racism long after retiring, and survived prostate cancer and throat surgery after he beat Jim Crow. “We have lost a stalwart of the Civil Rights Movement,

and I have lost a friend and mentor,” House Majority Whip, U.S. Rep. James E. Clyburn, in a March 28th statement. “His wit and candor inspired my generation to use civil disobedience to move the needle on ‘liberty and justice for all.’ It was his life's work and his was a life well lived.” Former President Bill Clinton remembered walking with Lowery across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, on the 35th anniversary of Bloody Sunday. “Our country has lost a brave, visionary leader in the struggle for justice and a champion of its promise, still unrealized, of equality for all Americans. Throughout his long good life, Joe Lowery's commitment to speaking truth to power never wavered, even in the hottest fires.” His wife, Evelyn Gibson Lowery, who worked alongside her husband of nearly 70 years and served as head of SCLC/WOMEN, died in 2013. “I’ll miss you, Uncle Joe. You finally made it up to see Aunt Evelyn again,” King's daughter, Bernice King, said in a tweet Friday night. Lowery was pastor of the Warren Street Methodist Church in Mobile, Alabama, in the 1950s when he met King, who then lived in Montgomery, Alabama. Lowery’s meetings with (Continued on pg. 14)

Gov. Evers suspends evictions and foreclosures during public health emergency

Gov. Tony Evers on Monday March 30, 2020 directed Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) Secretary-designee Andrea Palm to temporarily order the suspension of evictions and foreclosures amid the COVID-19 public health emergency. The order prohibits landlords from evicting tenants for any reason unless failure to proceed with the eviction will result in an imminent threat of serious physical harm to another person and mortgagees from commencing civil action to foreclose on real estate for 60 days. Wisconsinites who are able to continue to meet their financial obligations are urged to do so. This order does not

Legendary Harlem Globetrotters player Fred ‘Curly’ Neal dies at 77 Fred Neal played more than 6,000 games with the team between 1963 and 1985

Fred “Curly” Neal, who played for the Harlem Globetrotters for 22 years before his retirement in 1985, died at his home in Houston on Thursday, March 26, 2020, the team confirmed on social media. He was 77. “We have lost one of the most genuine human beings the world has ever known,” Globetrotters General Manager Jeff Munn said in a statement. “Curly’s basketball skill was unrivaled by most, and his warm heart and huge smile brought joy to families worldwide.” The team did not reveal any further details about his cause of death. Neal previously played college basketball for Johnson C. Smith University in North

Carolina, where he earned All-Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association honors, according to USA Today. He joined the Globetrotters in 1963 and played more than 6,000 games in 97 countries for the club over the next 22 years. Most of

these games came against the Washington Generals, the Globetrotters’ longtime rivals. “Between 1963 and 1985 — before the internet and cable television really existed — it was Curly Neal and the Harlem Globetrotters who

first introduced the sport of basketball to millions of people around the world for the first time,” the team said of their iconic player. “It was Curly’s magical ball-handling, shooting, charismatic smile and iconic bald head … that made them start to play and fall in love with the game,” the Globetrotters added. Ironically, Neal earned the nickname “Curly” because of his bald head, the New York Times reported. Throughout his career, Globetrotters fans would often be treated to an amazing display of Neal’s ball-handling talents, which would see him spin across the hardwood on his knees — all while maintaining control of

the ball — and score on a floating layup. Neal was also a talented shooter and could score easily dozens of feet from the basket. The Globetrotters retired Neal’s No. 22 jersey in 2008. “Being a Globetrotter, especially during that time, was as much a responsibility as it was a job,” Neal told USA Today in 2016. “We weren’t just entertainers. I truly believe that we helped ease many of the tensions that pulled at the country. It didn’t matter if you were black, white or whatever — laughing and enjoying our games made those barriers disappear.”

Signs of life: Milwaukee city parks Since the city has been under a "Safer at Home" order as of March 25, 2020, most of the city has been quiet and deserted. A few sparse cars and people here and there but mostly, Milwaukee looks like a movie set for a post-apocalyptic film. But there are signs of life in Milwaukee city parks. Collin Cumby, a 7th grader from Lloyd Barbee Montessori School, comes to Lincoln Park, 1301 W. Hampton Ave., on a regular basis with his grandmother to play basketball. Though there are not a whole lot of other children to play with, Collin still has fun practicing his shots. Even in these times of chaos and uncertainty there signs of normalcy to be found.

The Counseling Corner

By Rev. Judith T. Lester, B.Min. M.Th

Spring into a healthy spiritual lifestyle (Conclusion) As you spring into a healthier spiritual lifestyle, know that praying is not only a key to spiritual growth, but partnering with others in prayer can galvanize active and consistent prayer! Prayer is an important and necessary spiritual discipline for every believer. Prayer is so necessary, that our spiritual growth depends on it. Thus, prayer must be a continual practice of every believer. If a key to spiritual growth is prayer, why is it that more people are not communicating with God? Dr. Charles Stanley in The Charles Stanley Life Principles Bible, indicated: The foremost reason is that we don’t feel sure of our relationship with the Lord and, therefore, we feel afraid of God. But those who are born again spiritually have a Father-child relationship with the Lord. Our Heavenly Father loves us unconditionally and deals with us tenderly and patiently. The more we learn what God is really like—the more we see God as God truly is—the more we

By Rev. Judith T. Lester, B.Min. M.Th “Be still and know that I am God” - Psalm 46:10 These are unusual times indeed. No one could have ever envisioned that a time would come when public worship services would be canceled. Many people are hurting because they are not able to gather and fellowship; religious leaders are grieved because they cannot physically meet and see their parishioners during this time. It is not lost on this writer that we are social beings. But physically distancing ourselves does not mean we cannot stay connected “socially.” Advancements in technology allow connecting via social media, facetiming, and, of course calling each other on the phone. Even as the nation conforms to the physical distancing directive from the President and Governor Evers’ Safer-At-Home Order, Easter will still arrive in a few days. Easter is the central point for the celebration of many other Christian events such as the culmination of Lent, celebration of Palm Sunday, Holy Week and Good Friday. Honoring Gov. Evers’ Safer-at-Home directive does not have to cancel Easter services or the activities leading up to Resurrection Sunday. In this age of technology, services can be held virtually.

will long to spend time alone with God…and the more we will know the fullness of God’s grace. (paraphrased) Partnering with others in prayer Partnering with others in prayer by engaging prayer groups helps to provide an atmosphere to spur others to pray. A prayer group is a group of believers not necessarily members of the same church, but believers who schedule a time to meet regularly for the purpose of praying. Commitment and consistency are vital for sustaining active prayer with a prayer partner or prayer group. Regular time periods must be set

aside for this purpose. Normally an hour is sufficient amount of time for a prayer group. For leaders, having a committed group of people who will keep them lifted in prayer is important. In “Leaders on Leadership: Wisdom, Advice and Encouragement and the Art of Leading God’s People” it noted “the best advice for Christian leaders is that they do whatever is necessary to build a team of personal prayer partners, the more powerful the better. These are individuals, some with the spiritual gift of intercession and others just good committed Christian prayers who have sensed a special

assignment from God to dedicate a significant part of their regular prayer time to a certain leader.” Through regular and consistent prayer, one is able to resist and overcome temptation (Matthew 6:13); is sanctified by the truth of God’s Word (John 17:17); and their faith can be strengthened (Luke 22:3132) which will naturally lead to spiritual growth. Beloved, the bottom line is there is no substitute for time spent with God. The path to establishing an intimate relationship with God, and developing/maintaining a healthy spiritual lifestyle must travel down the road of prayer. God desires to bless you but God also desires to hear from you. Resolve to spring into a healthy spiritual lifestyle by vowing today to pray every day.

Palm Sunday Many churches around our country are still offering palms on Palm Sunday but with some creativity. Parishioners are invited to drive up and pick up palms from the church steps, while a member of the clergy or prayer team offers a word of prayer. All participants, however, must honor the physical distancing rule. Virtual Services - Many churches are offering virtual church service where anyone can watch the service live through a social media outlet. Many of these services will be live streamed or pre-recorded and available during Holy Week and Easter and until the restrictions regarding gathering are lifted. Keep in mind since many seniors may not be social media savvy, it would be helpful if the congregation’s video technician posts a “How To” video offering step-by-step instructions for seniors so they can connect to live streaming. For their senior members, churches are also dropping off CDs, upon request, at the door of their seniors who may not have access to the Internet.

EXPLANATION The Wisconsin Constitution, article I, section 9m, currently provides that the state shall treat crime victims “with fairness, dignity and respect for their privacy.” That provision also mandates that the state ensure that crime victims have certain “privileges and protections” relative to the accused and the criminal case. Separate from these constitutional provisions, chapter 950 of the Wisconsin Statutes provides a “bill of rights” for victims and witnesses of crimes. The proposed amendment would make five general changes to article I, section 9m, of the Wisconsin Constitution. First, in 16 subsections, the proposed amendment would expand the rights of victims by creating additional rights and incorporating other statutory rights into the constitution. Second, the proposed amendment would incorporate into the constitution a definition of “victim” similar to the definition currently in statute. Third, the proposed amendment would create an additional mechanism by which victims could enforce their rights as victims. Fourth, the proposed amendment would incorporate into the constitution a limit on governmental liability for any violation of victims’ rights, similar to the limit currently provided by statute. Fifth, the proposed amendment would provide that it may not be interpreted to supersede a defendant’s federal constitutional rights or afford party status in a proceeding to any victim.

Coronavirus anxiety: Coping with stress, fear, and uncertainty

Fears about COVID-19 can take an emotional toll, especially if you’re already living with an anxiety disorder. But you’re not powerless. These tips can help you get through this stressful time. Understanding your anxiety It’s a frightening time. We’re in the midst of a worldwide pandemic, with cities and even entire countries shutting down. Some of us are in areas that have already been affected by coronavirus. Others are bracing for what may come. And all of us are watching the headlines and wondering, “What is going to happen next?” For many people, the uncertainty surrounding coronavirus is the hardest thing to handle. We don’t know how exactly we’ll be impacted or how bad things might get. And that makes it all too easy to catastrophize and spiral out into overwhelming dread and panic. But there are many things you can do—even in the face of this unique crisis—to manage your anxiety and fears. Stay informed—but don’t obsessively check the news It’s vital to stay informed, particularly about what’s happening in your community, so you can follow advised safety precautions and do your part to slow the spread of coronavirus. But there’s a lot of misinformation going around, as well as sensationalistic coverage that only

feeds into fear. It’s important to be discerning about what you read and watch. • Stick to trustworthy sources such as the CDC, the World Health Organization, and your local public health authorities. • Limit how often you check for updates. Constant monitoring of news and social media feeds can quickly turn compulsive and counterproductive—fueling anxiety rather than easing it. The limit is different for everyone, so pay attention to how you’re feeling and adjust accordingly. • Step away from media if you start feeling overwhelmed. If anxiety is an ongoing issue, consider limit-

ing your media consumption to a specific time frame and time of day (e.g. thirty minutes each evening at 6 p.m.). • Ask someone reliable to share important updates. If you’d feel better avoiding media entirely, ask someone you trust to pass along any major updates you need to know about. • Be careful what you share. Do your best to verify information before passing it on. Snopes’ Coronavirus Collection is one place to start. We all need to do our part to avoid spreading rumors and creating unnecessary panic. Focus on the things you can control We’re in a time of massive

upheaval. There are so many things outside of our control, including how long the pandemic lasts, how other people behave, and what’s going to happen in our communities. That’s a tough thing to accept, and so many of us respond by endlessly searching the Internet for answers and thinking over all the different scenarios that might happen. But as long as we’re focusing on questions with unknowable answers and circumstances outside of our personal control, this strategy will get us nowhere—aside from feeling drained, anxious, and overwhelmed. When you feel yourself getting caught up in fear of what might happen, try to shift your focus to things you can control. For example, you can’t control how severe the coronavirus outbreak is in your city or town, but you can take steps to reduce your own personal risk (and the risk you’ll unknowingly spread it to others), such as: • washing your hands frequently (for at least 20 seconds) with soap and water or a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60 percent alcohol. • avoiding touching your face (particularly your eyes, nose, and mouth).

• staying home as much as possible, even if you don’t feel sick. • avoiding crowds and gatherings of 10 or more people. • avoiding all non-essential shopping and travel. • keeping 6 feet of distance between yourself and others when out. • getting plenty of sleep, which helps support your immune system. • following all recommendations from health authorities. Plan for what you can It’s natural to be concerned about what may happen if your workplace closes, your children have to stay home from school, you or someone you love gets sick, or you have to self-quarantine. While these possibilities can be scary to think about, being proactive can help relieve at least some of the anxiety. • Write down specific worries you have about how coronavirus may disrupt your life. If you start feeling overwhelmed, take a break. • Make a list of all the possible solutions you can think of. Try not to get too hung (Continued on pg. 11)

BE KIND. STAY SAFE. KEEP DANCING.

Coronavirus anxiety (Continued from pg. 7) up on “perfect” options. Include whatever comes to mind that could help you get by. • Focus on concrete things you can problem solve or change, rather than circumstances beyond your control. After you’ve evaluated your options, draw up a plan of action. When you’re done, set it aside and resist the urge to go back to it until you need it or your circumstances significantly change. How to stop “what-ifs” from spiraling Relinquishing our desire for certainty and control is easier said than done. If you feel yourself start to spin out into negativity or panic, grounding yourself in the present moment can stop the negative spiral and allow your rational brain to come back online. The technique is simple yet effective: Bring your attention to your breath and your body. Focus all of your attention on the here and now: noticing the sights, sounds, and smells around you and what you’re feeling in your body. Continue to breath slowly in and out—gently bringing your mind back to your body and breath every time it drifts—until you feel more calm. Stay connected—even when physically isolated Evidence shows that many people with coronavirus— particularly young, seemingly healthy people—don’t have symptoms but can still spread the virus. That’s why the biggest thing that most people can do right now to make a positive difference is to practice social distancing. But social distancing comes with its own risks. Humans are social animals. We’re hardwired for connection. Isolation and loneliness can exacerbate anxiety and depression, and even impact our physical health. That’s why it’s important to stay connected as best we can and reach out for support when we need it, even as we cut back on in-person socializing.

Thursday April 2, 2020

Make it a priority to stay in touch with friends and family. If you tend to withdraw when depressed or anxious, think about scheduling regular phone, chat, or Skype dates to counteract that tendency. While in-person visits are limited, substitute video chatting if you’re able. Faceto-face contact is like a “vitamin” for your mental health, reducing your risk of depression and helping ease stress and anxiety. Social media can be a powerful tool—not only for connecting with friends, family, and acquaintances—but for feeling connected in a greater sense to our communities, country, and the world. It reminds us we’re not alone. That said, be mindful of how social media is making you feel. Don’t hesitate to mute keywords or people who are exacerbating your anxiety. And log off if it’s making you feel worse. Don’t let coronavirus dominate every conversation. It’s important to take breaks from stressful thoughts about the pandemic to simply enjoy each other’s company—to laugh, share stories, and focus on other things going on in our lives. Emotions are contagious, so be wise about who you turn to for support All of us are going to need reassurance, advice, or a sympathetic ear during this difficult time. But be careful who you choose as a sounding board. The coronavirus is not the only thing that’s contagious. So are emotions! Avoid talking about the virus with people who tend to be negative or who reinforce and ramp up your fears. Turn to the people in your life who are thoughtful, level-headed, and good listeners. If you don’t have someone you trust to turn to, apps such as 7 Cups are a good resource for free, emotional support. Take care of your body and spirit This is an extraordinarily trying time, and all the triedand-true stress management strategies apply, such as eating healthy meals, getting plenty of sleep, and meditating.

are some tips for practicing self-care in the face of the unique disruptions caused by the coronavirus. • Be kind to yourself. Go easy on yourself if you’re experiencing more depression or anxiety than usual. You’re not alone in your struggles. • Maintain a routine as best you can. Even if you’re stuck at home, try to stick to your regular sleep, school, meal, or work schedule. This can help you maintain a sense of normalcy. • Take time out for activities you enjoy. Read a good book, watch a comedy, play a fun board or video game, make something—whether it’s a new recipe, a craft, or a piece of art. It doesn’t matter what you do, as long as it takes you out of your worries. • Get out in nature, if possible. Sunshine and fresh air will do you good. Even a walk around your neighborhood can make you feel better. Just be sure to avoid crowds, keep your distance from people you encounter, and obey restrictions in your area. • Find ways to exercise. Staying active will help you release anxiety, relieve stress, and manage your mood. While the gym and group classes are out, you can still cycle, hike, or walk. Or if you’re stuck at home, look online for exercise videos you can follow. There are many things you can do even without equipment, such as yoga and exercises that use your own bodyweight.

anxiety or depression. If you tend to overdo it in the best of times, it may be a good idea to avoid for now. • Take up a relaxation practice. When stressors throw your nervous system out of balance, relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, and yoga can bring you back into a state of equilibrium. Regular practice delivers the greatest benefits, so see if you can set aside even a little time every day. Help others (it will make you feel better) At times like this, it’s easy to get caught up in your own fears and concerns. But amid all the stories of people fighting over rolls of toilet paper or lining up outside gun stores to arm themselves, it’s important to take a breath and remember that we’re all in this together. As a quote circulating in Italy reminds us: “We’re standing far apart now so we can embrace each other later.” It’s no coincidence that those who focus on others in need and support their communities, especially during times of crises, tend to be happier and healthier than those who act selfishly. Helping others not only makes a difference to your community—and even to the wider world at this time—it can also support your own mental health and well-being. Much of the anguish accompanying this pandemic stems from feeling powerless. Doing kind and helpful acts for others can help you regain a sense of control over your • Avoid self-medicating. life—as well as adding meanBe careful that you’re not ing and purpose. using alcohol or other substances to deal with

Be a calming influence. If friends or loved ones are panicking, try to help them gain some perspective on the situation. Instead of scaremongering or giving credence to false rumors, refer them to reputable news sources. Being a positive, uplifting influence in these anxious times can help you feel better about your own situation too. Be kind to others. An infectious disease is not connected to any racial or ethnic group, so speak up if you hear negative stereotypes that only promote prejudice. With the right outlook and intentions, we can all ensure that kindness and charity spread throughout our communities even faster than this virus.

Even when you’re self-isolating or maintaining social distance, there’s still plenty you can do to help others. • Follow guidelines for preventing the spread of the virus. Even if you’re not in a high-risk group, staying at home, washing your hands frequently, and avoiding contact with others can help save the lives of the most vulnerable in your community and prevent overburdening the healthcare system. • Reach out to others in need. If you know people in your community who are isolated—particularly the elderly or disabled—you can still offer support. Perhaps an older neighbor needs help with groceries or fulfilling a prescription? You can always leave packages on their doorstep to avoid direct contact. Or maybe they just need to hear a friendly, reassuring voice over the phone. Many local social media groups can help put you in touch with vulnerable people in your area. • Donate to food banks. Panic-buying and hoarding have not only left grocery store shelves stripped bare but have also drastically reduced supplies to food banks. You can help older adults, low-income families, and others in need by donating food or cash.

Lowery dies (Continued from pg. 1) King, the Rev. Ralph David Abernathy and other civil rights activists led to the SCLC’s formation in 1957. The group became a leading force in the civil rights struggle of the 1960s. Lowery became SCLC president in 1977 following the resignation of Abernathy, who had taken the job after King was assassinated in 1968. He took over an SCLC that was deeply in debt and losing members rapidly. Lowery helped the organization survive and guided it on a new course that embraced more mainstream social and economic policies. Coretta Scott King once said Lowery "has led more marches and been in the trenches more than anyone since Martin." He was arrested in 1983 in North Carolina for protesting the dumping of toxic wastes in a predominantly black county and in 1984 in Washington while demonstrating against apartheid. He recalled a 1979 confrontation in Decatur, Alabama, when he and others were protesting the case of a mentally disabled black man charged with rape. He recalled that bullets whizzed inches above their heads and a group of Klan members confronted them. "I could hear them go 'whoosh'," Lowery said. "I'll never forget that. I almost

died 24 miles from where I was born." In the mid-1980s, he led a boycott that persuaded the Winn-Dixie grocery chain to stop selling South African canned fruit and frozen fish when that nation was in the grip of apartheid. He also continued to urge blacks to exercise their hardwon rights by registering to vote. "Black people need to understand that the right to vote was not a gift of our political system but came as a result of blood, sweat and tears," he said in 1985. Like King, Lowery juggled his civil rights work with ministry. He pastored United Methodist churches in Atlanta for decades and continued preaching long after retiring. Born in Huntsville, Alabama, in 1921, Joseph Echols Lowery grew up in a Methodist church where his great-grandfather, the Rev. Howard Echols, was the first black pastor. Lowery’s father, a grocery store owner, often protested racism in the community. After college, Lowery edited a newspaper and taught

school in Birmingham, but the idea of becoming a minister "just kept gnawing and gnawing at me," he said. After marrying Evelyn Gibson, a Methodist preacher’s daughter, he began his first pastorate in Birmingham in 1948. In a 1998 interview, Lowery said he was optimistic that true racial equality would one day be achieved. "I believe in the final triumph of righteousness," he said. "The Bible says weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.” A member of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, Lowery is survived by his three daughters, Yvonne Kennedy, Karen Lowery and Cheryl Lowery. He died at home in Atlanta from natural causes unrelated to the coronavirus outbreak, the family said. While plans are underway for a private family service in alignment with public health guidelines on social distancing amid the pandemic, the family said late Saturday, a public memorial will be held in late summer or early fall.
