Freedom fighter Winnie Mandela dies at 81 Long-time South African anti-apartheid campaigner, ex-wife of Nelson Mandela and former first lady Winnie Madikizela-Mandela died on April 2, 2018, at the age of 81.

Family spokesman Victor Dlamini confirmed earlier on Monday that Mrs. Mandela “succumbed peacefully in the early hours of Monday afternoon surrounded by her family and loved ones” following a long illness, which had seen her go in and out of the hospital since the start of the year.

Mrs. Madikizela-Mandela was born in 1936 in the Eastern Cape – then known as Transkei.

She was a trained social worker when she met her future husband in the 1950s.

They went on to have two daughters together.

Winnie and Nelson were married for a total of 38 years, although for almost three decades of that time they were separated due to Mr. Mandela’s long imprisonment.

It was Winnie who took his baton after he was jailed

for life, becoming an international symbol of resistance to apartheid. She too was jailed for her role in the fight for justice and equality.

To her supporters, she became known affectionately as “Mother of the Nation.”

Due to her political activi-

ties, Winnie was regularly detained by the National Party government. She was tortured, subjected to house arrest, kept under surveillance, held in solitary confinement for over a year and even banished to a remote town. She emerged as a leading opponent of apartheid during the later years of her husband’s imprisonment (August 1963 – February 1990).

For many of those years, she was exiled to the town of Brandfort in the Orange Free State and confined to the area, except for when she was allowed to visit her husband at Robben Island.

Beginning in 1969, she spent eighteen months in solitary confinement at Pretoria Central Prison. It was at this time that Winnie Mandela became well known in the Western world. She organized local

clinics, campaigned actively for equal rights and was promoted by the ANC as a symbol of their struggle against apartheid.

In 1985, Mrs. Mandela won the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award along with fellow activists Allan Boesak and Beyers Naudé for their human rights work in South Africa. The Award is given annually by the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights to an individual or group whose courageous activism is at the heart of the human rights movement and in the spirit of Robert F. Kennedy’s vision and legacy. She received a Candace Award for Distinguished Service from the National Coalition of 100 Black Women in 1988.

50 years without a King It has been 50 years since Martin Luther King Jr., was gunned down. Fifty long years since King was blasted from life on a balcony outside of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, TN. The years have gone by in a blur for many.

Forgetfulness has made King and the Civil Rights Movement a small blurb in history. One has to wonder if the African American community has not wasted King’s sacrifice.

King went to Memphis to help the sanitation workers in their quest for better conditions on the job. This was one of the many times King became the focal point to bring light to an issue. Sadly it was to be the last time King would walk the planet breathing. On April 4, 1968 King was assassinated and in many cases the dream he had died with him. Since that day African Americans have become more confused than any previous time in the USA since slavery.

When King died the masses of African American people went back to sleep. King’s death became a beacon/ warning to African Americans to follow the status quo while waiting for change.

Many people stepped in to take charge of the leadership void King’s death left. From Jessie Jackson to Al Sharpton, men tried to fill the shoes King left vacated. To see the results one only has to look at the news or go into the African American community to realize the level of failure.

In 2018 the African American community is still facing the same problems it faced in 1968. The biggest differ-

knows? One thing is for certain; African Americans did not utilize the sacrifice King made to the maximum extent. The schools are filled with African American students who refuse to learn.

African American people push drugs and kill one another at an alarming rate.

African Americans are still begging for crumbs at every other race's table.

nity continues to dishonor King’s life. I wonder how King would feel about the way the African American community has honored his sacrifice.

This is why you see the same time-worn strategies being used in 2018 from 1968. When King and others marched it was the final use for marches as a method of change. The culmination for the march was the big march on Washington where King electrified the world with his oratory. Every march since then has been in futility. Yet whenever there is a problem African Americans hold a march.

King was a master orator.

People listen to his speeches in 2018 and get tears in their eyes. Every leader since has attempted to use his words to motivate the African American masses. All these King impersonators have done is create a ball of confusion in the African American community. The divide created from differing viewpoints has kept the chasm of disunity in the African American

community growing. Oddly enough these so-called African American leaders have more fame than King could ever imagine. Al Sharpton is a fixture on television and Jessie Jackson ran for president. Yet the African American people still suffer.

King was the standard for ministers in the African American community. In 2018 many African American people still look to the minister to speak for them.

All this has created is mega churches with very wealthy ministers. Three years ago Creflo Dollar was worth a cool $27 million. We’ll let that sink in. Do you think someone who is making this kind of money wants things to change in the USA? Is it possible that it is time for African Americans to look elsewhere for leadership than the pulpit?

King may have his detractors but he died for what he believed in. Was his non-violence concept foolish? Who

The Counseling Corner

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

National Autism Awareness Month (Week Two) Every family should be allowed to attend the good old favorite pastime, the movies.

Thanks to AMC and Marcus Theatres, children and adults living with autism and other special needs, have the ability to enjoy a movie night, too, with the availability of sensory friendly films.

AMC Theaters AMC has partnered with the Autism Society to offer unique movies where lights are turned up and the sound is turned down, and allows those living with autism to get up, dance, walk, shout or sing. These efforts by AMC during sensory films make the children and their parents feel more comfortable in the theater. It is often difficult when children with special needs, like autism, are taken out of their famil-

iar surroundings. Sometimes, this results in the children becoming stressed and may result in emotional outbursts and distress. In a crowd of people who may not understand children with autism and other special needs, this can result in stares of contempt. AMC’s accessibility of sensory films has offered the comfortable environmental for these children and parents. AMC’s Sensory Friendly Films are normally available on the 2nd and 4th Saturday (family friendly) and Tuesday evenings (mature audiences) of every month. You are invited to take your family to see a Sensory Friendly Film at an AMC theater and then share your family fun with #AMCSensoryFriendly. The Sensory Films showing in April are:

where AMC Theatres’ sensory films are being shown, visit: www.amctheatres.com/ programs/sensory-friendly-films.

Marcus Theatres Marcus Theatres also makes available sensory films called Reel Movies for Real Needs. Upcoming Movies for Real Needs showing at Marcus Theatres include: • Duck Duck Goose April 21 • Avengers: Infinity War April 28 • Solo: A Star Wars Story • Ready Player One May 26 April 10, 2018 • Incredibles 2 • Sherlock Gnomes June 16 April 14, 2018 • Jurassic World: • Rampage Fallen Kingdom April 24, 2018 June 23 For more information on For more information on movie times, showings movie times and showings and locations in Wisconsin for Marcus Theatres visit:

In an unprecedented act of generosity, technology company Ripple donated $29 million to DonorsChoose. org this week, funding every project posted by a teacher across the country. In Milwaukee Public Schools, 110 projects posted by 89 teachers were funded, bringing a total donation of $60,081 to the district.

“This is such an exciting day for our teachers and students,” said Darienne Driver, MPS Superintendent. “This funding goes directly to meet needs that teachers felt so strongly about that they took the initiative to post for public funding. It’s truly a mean-

ingful gift.”

Combined with other donations to these projects on DonorsChoose.org, the total value of all funded projects in MPS is $70,956. Funding will allow teachers to acquire iPads, ear buds, bus tickets, athletic equipment, books, science supplies, art supplies, school supplies, and more.

Requests ranged from about $200 to just over $2,000.

Could traditional black family ideals be promoting obesity?

By: Brandon Herring Weight has pretty much always been a struggle for me for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was always the chubby kid and even throughout my teenage years I was always the big guy.

Fortunately enough for me, I was never teased because of my weight so I didn’t develop any long-term insecurities or struggles with self-image or self-esteem (thank God).

However, as I ventured into college I had similar weight struggles as I did in my adolescent years. I was notoriously known around my campus as “Big Sexy” and was loved and praised for my stocky posture and solid frame.

It wasn’t until after college that I really began to understand that my weight was the result of an unhealthy lifestyle and sought to make changes. I decided to attempt

to change, not because I was unhappy with myself, but because I knew I couldn’t continue to live the same unhealthy life in my adult years starting a career and understanding that life is only what you make it.

Through this journey of discovering healthier ways of living, I began to understand how our behaviors and relationship with food really affect us. I also began to dis-

cover how as black people we unconsciously promote and condition ourselves, families, and kids to not only engage in an unhealthy lifestyle but promote obesity without even knowing it.

Obesity is one of America’s biggest problems. Not surprisingly, African Americans are the most obese group in the United States.

According to the US Department of Health and Human

Services Office of Minority Health, African Americans were 1.4 times more likely to be obese than non-Hispanic whites. While the facts are clear, I started to think what happens in our black lives that condition us to be overweight or contribute to an unhealthy lifestyle.

It all starts as children. One of the many contributors to this is how we are often conditioned as children to have a relationship with food. For as long as I can remember, it's a sin in a black household to not “clean your plate.”

As children, we are taught that in order to be dismissed from the dinner table we can't leave a drop of food on our plates once dinner is served.

While this is a practice black moms and grandmas over the world put in place and have made their signature, it conditions us to indulge in problematic thinking that we MUST eat everything some-

times even if we are full.

I’m sure we can all relate to hearing this once or twice.

Black bodies have always been mocked for their curvature in the past. In today’s terms, we’ve moved to a place where “thick” and “curvy” are now glorified. All over we see the world duplicating the curvature of black women’s bodies everywhere. As a kid, I can remember black family members always telling the young girls to “put some meat on your bones,” our chastizing the smaller frame girls as needing to “thicken up.”

Don’t get me wrong, there is absolutely nothing wrong with some beautiful thickness, but thickness without regard to overall health can cause some problems. We all love some BBW’s, especially Drake, but there is a fine line between BBW and a healthy body, mind, and spirit.

As babies, our girls are conditioned to desire thickness and a curvature that can sometimes come from a combination of unhealthy habits.

So are we unconsciously promoting obesity within our families and upbringing? Have we silently and unknowingly led to this epidemic? Let me know your thoughts.

It’s easy to get carried away when traveling, buying souvenirs, eating at restaurants and upgrading your flights and accommodations. But the last thing you want is to face a big bill when you get home.

Here are some tips for budgeting accordingly, no matter what type of vacation you’re planning.

1. Be realistic about what you can afford. Set expectations for your travel budget that are feasible and attainable. While splurging on travel can be tempting, it will only create financial stress after your bags are unpacked.

2. Start a dedicated travel fund. It’s easier to save when you have a specific destination and plan in mind. Think about where you want to go, research how much it costs and develop a consistent saving plan well in advance.

3. Create a trip budget.

Special: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Wednesday, April 11, 2018

Martin Luther King, Jr.: 50 years later

Activists today are taking up Dr. King’s mantle and reviving the Poor People’s Campaign Fifty years ago, on April 4, 1968, a bullet robbed us of one of the great human-rights leaders of the 20th century. The assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., in Memphis, Tennessee, accelerated the racist backlash of the late 1960s. Along with the murder of Robert F. Kennedy two months later, this tragic trajectory led to the election of Richard M. Nixon, who escalated the Vietnam War and unleashed police and FBI forces against movements for change.

However, the bonds of memory cannot be so easily dissolved. Ending poverty and fighting for union rights are back on the economic-justice agenda today.

Fifty years after King, Memphis remains an appropriate launch pad for these campaigns. “Fight for $15” organizers met there, picketing McDonald’s and marching on the anniversary of the Memphis sanitation workers’ strike. The American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), which will be meeting in Memphis on the 50th anniversary of King’s death, launched its “I Am 2018” campaign to fight for racial and economic justice and combat so-called right-to-work laws. The Rev. William Barber, the Rev. Liz Theoharis, and others also met in Memphis to begin their new Poor People’s Campaign to end poverty, which is modeled on King’s original crusade.

Yet even as Memphis’s now-multiracial political leadership celebrates the accomplishments of the civil rights movement in the city, the challenges remain daunt-

ing. A majority-black city of more than 600,000 people, Memphis has among the highest rates of poverty and infant mortality of any US city its size. Although higher wages for working-class people would clearly benefit both a consumer-based economy and the city’s tax base, the traditional lowwage, anti-union business model is back in style in Republican-run Tennessee.

Nationally, private-sector unions—which now represent less than 10 percent of the American workforce— are under attack, as are their public-sector counterparts.

In our own time of escalating crisis, why return to the story of Memphis and Martin Luther King? Activists and historians tell us why: Understanding the critical year of 1968 and King’s agenda for social change can help us clarify the organizing imperatives of today.

In Memphis and elsewhere, the bonds of memory 50 years since King are helping people to remember, and to fight.

When King came to Memphis on March 18, 1968, as part of his Poor People’s Campaign, it appeared that the economic-justice movement he’d struggled to build was firmly on track. Some 1,300 black workers in the AFSCME Local 1733 had gone on strike on February 12, after enduring years of abuse and the needless deaths of two members, Echol Cole and Robert Walker, due to faulty equipment on February 1. Police attacks on workers and their allies during a march on February 23 had angered the black community and brought together

the working poor, church leaders, unions, students, and teachers. King was ready for this fight: He had long worked with the left-leaning side of organized labor to build a labor/civil rights alliance.

In Memphis, King called for a second phase of the freedom movement that would go beyond its first phase—the struggle for civil and voting rights—and begin a fight for “economic equality.” Phase two would demand that the nation shift its priorities away from war and military spending and toward housing, health care, education, decent unionized jobs, economic opportunity, and a sustainable income for all. He also proposed a new tactic: During his riveting speech, King called for a “general work stoppage in the city of Memphis.”

Memphis provided an alliance of the middle class and the working poor that could stop the city’s anti-union campaign and help fuel King’s national movement to end poverty. It brought together direct action in the streets and in the workplace in order to create a new and powerful direction for the movements of the 1960s: a general strike for freedom

and economic justice.

On March 19, King left Memphis for the Mississippi Delta. Here, he confronted the desperate poverty of the unemployed poor. During a visit to Marks, Mississippi, a town of less than 2,500, King told an interviewer, “I found myself weeping before I knew it. I met boys and girls by the hundreds who didn’t have any shoes to wear, who didn’t have any food to eat in terms of three square meals a day, and I met their parents, many of whom don’t even have jobs.” In Marks, he found poor people cast off from the cotton economy by the mechanization of cultivation and harvesting.

They lived in shacks without plumbing, lighting, or ventilation through extreme heat and humidity, many subsisting on foraged berries, fish, and wild rabbits. Yet King also found here a core of poor people who would go to DC to energize his campaign and later help to elect scores of black leaders in the Delta.

King once recalled a conversation he’d had on a plane with a white man who told him that black people needed to lift themselves by their own bootstraps and advance through individual initiative.

“It is a cruel jest,” King replied, “to say to a bootless man that he ought to lift himself by his own bootstraps.”

Few black people received the kind of government support—the New Deal’s low-interest home loans, the homesteads and landgrant colleges and subsidies, the federal land acquisitions and military protection for railroad and oil magnates in the West—that had boosted

some immigrants into the ranks of the middle and upper classes.

Then too, Africans didn’t come to America looking for prosperity, as Ben Carson, the black Republican who heads up the Department of Housing and Urban Development under President Trump, ludicrously suggested recently. Rather, they were ripped from their freedom in Africa to work as slaves in America. “My grandfather and my great-grandfather” helped build the wealth of this nation as slaves and sharecroppers, King said, but ended up in poverty. In contrast to the stereotypical “self-made man,” King spoke of a man unjustly kept in prison for years: “And you just go up to him and say, ‘Now you are free,’ but you don’t give him any bus fare to get to town.

You don’t give him any money to get some clothes to put on his back or get on his feet again in life. Every court of jurisprudence would rise up against this. And yet, this is the very thing that our nation did to the black man.”

Remarkably, given the brutality that people had faced in the civil rights struggle, King warned that the second phase of the freedom movement would be even harder. “It is much easier to integrate a lunch counter than it is to guarantee an annual income,” he said, and the resistance from capitalist elites as well as Southern sheriffs would be much worse. Yet King insisted that the country needed a moral revolution that would “raise certain basic questions about the whole society.” Like Malcolm X, he saw the agenda for organizing as global and revolutionary.

King had spoken out sharply against the Vietnam War and wasteful military spending but went even further, criticizing capitalism itself. He told his congregation at Atlanta’s Ebenezer Baptist Church that a system that put the wealth of a few ahead of a decent life for the many needed fundamental transformation. He envisioned the Poor People’s Campaign as a way to gather the sick, the hungry, and the destitute in a shantytown in the nation’s capital to “demand that the government address itself to the problem of poverty.”

In the 50 years since King’s death, the media and most historians have cast the Poor People’s Campaign as a failure, and Memphis has come to be remembered primarily as the site of his tragic assassination. Instead, as the people taking up the struggles to end poverty and create a living wage today point out, we should embrace King’s final effort as a necessary (Continued on pg. 14)

turn that we can emulate. In the Poor People’s Campaign, dispossessed people learned skills and crossed cultural boundaries, beginning a fight for economic justice that many continued for the rest of their lives.

In the Memphis strike, black workers declaring “I Am a Man” paved the way for AFSCME’s successful national campaign to unionize thousands of public employees, including many African Americans and women.

The percentage of public employees who are unionized is now five times the percentage of private-sector employees. Unions look back on King as a labor hero as well as a prophetic advocate for the disinherited and the working poor. AFSCME’s “I Am 2018” campaign seeks to rekindle the memory of what happened 50 years ago and spark a nationwide movement to organize workers and poor people in the fight for racial and economic justice.

The national media love to focus on anniversaries, but 50 years after King’s death, we should remember that he dreamed of much more than simply winning the fight for civil and voting rights. We should remember, as former

AFSCME secretary-treasurer (and Memphis organizer) William Lucy told me some years ago, that “Dr. King really highlighted the great contradiction…. If you relieve the civil-rights shackles or barriers, that does not necessarily guarantee that your economic situation will change. There is something wrong with the social structure. There is something wrong with the economic structure.” As King put it, when “profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, extreme materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered.”

be the first one to honor an American who “gave his life in a labor struggle.”

Fifty years after his death, King’s message of agape love, or love for all, lives on.

He urged that, while most of us think that “self-preservation is the first law of life,” in fact “other-preservation is the first law of life.” Ending racism, poverty, and war in a global economy and on a global scale requires everyone to develop an “overriding loyalty to mankind as a whole,” to choose love instead of hate.
