Being Frank There is a storm brewing in the USA. On April 24, 2020 Wisconsin had one of the biggest protests against stay at home orders because of COVID 19 in the country. The political lines are being drawn over the COVID 19 pandemic. Many of these lines will be etched into the psyche of the USA long after the pandemic passes. African Americans have to be careful not to be drawn into the war of words and philosophy that Caucasians are indulging in. The history of the USA shows how African Americans have been drawn into conflicts between Caucasians to their sorrow. In Michigan armed African Americans gathered in Lansing and escorted Rep. Sarah Anthony to work at the capitol building. This came as a result of an April 30, 2020 protest where several armed white protesters stormed the capitol building with borderline racist paraphernalia. The armed show of force by African Americans was nice but stupid at

best. What this display does is thrust African Americans right into the middle of a storm that has nothing to do with them. By showing up with arms African Americans have shifted the focus off of differing white groups onto them. African Americans can’t afford to have any more scrutiny that leads to increased hatred of them by Caucasians. In Wisconsin African Americans should already know the rice paper they walk on. Milwaukee has been known as one of the

most segregated cities in the U.S. How many marches have taken place over various injustices done to African Americans in Milwaukee over the past 20 years? With this in mind African Americans in Wisconsin as a whole need to sit back. Let the Caucasians get mad and take their aggression out on each other and not on African Americans. During the Civil War African Americans fought on both sides of the conflict Caucasians created. In the end who got the glory and
who bore the pain? African Americans fought the Axis powers during WW II. Once again when the conflict was finished who benefitted and who went back into third class citizenry? The Vietnam Conflict was another example. African Americans fought in the Far East while their relatives were discriminated against in the USA. The list goes on and on. From military engagements to sports, African Americans give their talents, lives and souls for white causes and in the end get nothing but pain and trinkets in return. The madness that is sweeping the USA is something African Americans should refuse to be the whipping boy for. Let the Caucasians vent their anger on each other. African Americans need to sit back and watch how things will play out. Once the smoke clears between the factions of Caucasian people maybe there will be an opportunity for African Americans to grab some power. Or at least gain a po-
sition of strength to negotiate from with the survivor. A show of force by armed African Americans is the last thing needed. First off, this type of action isn’t a show of anything but foolishness. Caucasians will always have access to weapons that the average African American would be arrested for simply thinking about such items. African Americans can’t win anything but prison or graves with guns. Who makes the guns along with the ammunition? Last I read, Smith and Wesson were two white men.

Why Brown v. Board of Education still matters
With schools more segregated today than they were in the late 60's, and Trump's federal judge appointees refusing to outright agree with Brown v Board of Education, we must focus on ending school re-segregation. By Lincoln Anthony Blades On May 17, 1954, the Supreme Court ruled that segregating public schools according to "separate but equal" was unconstitutional in America, allowing the nation to witness one of its greatest legal achievements of the Civil Rights era. But today, on the 66th anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education, we must reflect on that momentous victory not for romanticized nostalgia, but rather because, according to some researchers, our public schools are more segregated today than they were in the late '60s. For much of America’s history, black children and white children have been prevented from attending the same schools, due to legalities and sometimes even violence aimed at black students who attempted to do so. Whether it was 19th century anti-literacy laws that prohibited enslaved children from receiving any form of education, or the 1896 Supreme Court ruling in Plessy v. Ferguson which held that segregation did not violate the 14th Amendment (which grants all U.S. citizens equal protection under the law) as long as the separate facilities were equal (a ruling referred to as “separate but equal”). This effectively relegated black and white students www.milwaukeetimesnews.com
to incredibly different public schools, with white children having better access to higher quality facilities and resources, while black Americans, who were just 31 years removed from slavery, were displaced with fewer supplies and opportunities than their white neighbors. In 1951, Oliver Brown, a black father from Topeka, Kansas, became fed up with the inequality of segregation after his 9-year-old daughter, Linda, was denied entry into Topeka's all-white elementary schools and decided to file a class-action suit against the Board of Education of Topeka. The case made it all the way to the Supreme Court, where Thurgood Marshall, who at the time was the head of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, served as Oliver's chief attorney — a courtroom Marshall eventually became intimately familiar with after becoming the first black Supreme Court
justice in American history. It was just 64 years ago this month that the face, and race, of America’s education system was forever changed by the unanimous Supreme Court decision overruling Plessy, effectively disallowing segregation in America’s public schools. Far too often when this story is told in textbooks, movies, and even just regular conversations, we tend to present this accomplishment as the beginning of a perpetual nonstop avalanche of school-desegregating victories leading up to our current day — yet, when it comes to the reality of present-day school segregation, that couldn't be any further from the truth. Not only did the ruling inflame racists' response to integration, such as mobs of armed white segregationists patrolling the streets of Mansfield, Texas in 1956 on the first day of school after 12 black stu-
dents were admitted (one incident amongst many), but it touched off a long and concentrated effort to undermine academic inclusivity, an effort mostly led by white parents. From a more recent lens, the number of segregated schools in America doubled between 1996 and 2016, according to an analysis by Will Stancil at The Atlantic using National Center on Education Statistics data, and entire school districts are increasingly becoming racially distinct, even as the districts themselves become more diverse. According to data from the National Center for Education Statistics via UCLA's Civil Rights Project, the percentage of black students in the South who attended a school that was at least 50 percent white was 0 percent in 1954 (just before Brown v. Board of Education was enacted), 44 percent in 1989, and 23 percent in 2011. While writers like Robert VerBruggen argue that school re-segregation isn't taking place because America, on a whole, is becoming less white, therefore resulting in minorities attending schools that no longer have a white majority, some intensive research appears to disprove his theory. Research from Southern Methodist University's Meredith Richards shows that when neighborhoods expe-
rience a lot of demographic change, attendance zones are drawn in an aggressively segregated manner. In fact, even neighborhoods that don't experience much racial change can still enact segregated zoning. Unfortunately, the actions of the current administration have revealed a stark disinterest in tackling re-segregation. As public schools re-segregate, the rise in charter schools has not helped this trend. U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, who was previously the chair of the pro-school-choice advocacy group, American Federation for Children, advocated for a "choice" system that, in her home state of Michigan often resulted in increasing school segregation as white students left for less diverse school districts, according to Bridge Magazine. Across the nation, the rise of charter schools has contributed to this disturbing trend. When we talk about school segregation, it is critical to also talk about housing segregation because the less diverse a neighborhood is, the less diverse the schools in that neighborhood will be. While President Obama instituted policies attempting to curb segregation by punishing cities and towns that fail to address segregation by denying them federal (Continued on pg. 5)

ALS Awareness Month - #ALSAwareness (Week 1)
There are awareness days, weeks and months throughout the year. Many people believe that only recently have awareness days come into being; but actually, awareness days goes back decades. For instance, the National Fire Prevention Week is observed during the month of October. National Fire Prevention Week commemorates the Great Chicago Fire that occurred in 1871 in which 300 people died, more than 100,000 people were left homeless, and more than 17,000 structures were destroyed. The first Presidential proclamation commemorating Fire Prevention Week was made in 1925 by President Calvin Coolidge; but as early as 1911 the Fire Marshals Association of North America, sponsored the first Fire Prevention Day as a way to educate the public about fire safety. Some awareness days commemorate time-honored treats such as National Popcorn Day on January 19, National Chocolate Day on October 28 (my favorite!) and National French Fry Day in July. National French Fry Day
can be celebrated by enjoying some French fries, crinkled, straight or waffle-style, seasoned or dipped on July 13! Some other awareness days are silly and just for fun such as the International Talk Like a Pirate Day created in 1995 and celebrated on September 19. If someone wants to observe this day, they are invited to ‘talk like a pirate’ for a day. For instance, instead of saying “Good morning” or that people are empowered “Hello Everyone”, the per- by knowledge! son observing this day would greet others with “Ahoy, This month I would like mates!” you to join me as we partner the ALS Association Today, there are more than with to raise awareness on ALS. 1,500 days, weeks, months According the Centers dedicated to observing or for DiseasetoControl 1 , ALS ‘raising awareness’ on par- Awareness Month is obticular topics which does not served to raise awareness of count the unofficial ones. and foster research for amyoAwareness days can vary trophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) from health awareness to also known as Lou Gehrig’s environmental awareness. disease.

post-secondary education opportunities, future employment opportunities, and their overall quality of life. The bravery of Oliver Brown, Linda Brown, Thurgood Marshall, the Little Rock Nine, Dorothy Counts, and every other student, activist, and parent who courageously grappled with America's systemic inequality in the face of enraged white robes, demagogic anti-black politicians, and the very real possibility of injury and death, should be endlessly praised today. They walked through the vestiges of hell so that every black student who followed them would have their own educational pursuit exponentially easier. But what we're not going to do today is use the anniversary as the means to celebrate an accomplishment that is actively being fought against all over this country in district after district. And what we're definitely not going to do is allow the forces who've presided over the erosion of all that Brown v. Board of Education achieved, to manipulatively use this day to attract attention to diversity when they haven't done their part to truly protect the objective of integration. Let's use this day to celebrate our icons, and then use their bravery to galvanize our own fight against intolerance and discrimination for the rest of this year, and every single year after that.

Chromebook support helps students access online learning
Distribution of Chromebooks to MPS families is underway, with many students already receiving technology to continue learning at home. The district is offering support to families to help students use their Chromebooks and access the Internet. Families who have not yet received a Chromebook should contact their child’s principal. An appointment will be set for a pick-up time so Chromebooks can be checked, sanitized, and ready for students. Online learning will require an Internet provider so devices can connect to educational websites. Families are advised to contact their phone or television provider
to ask about free or low-cost offers for students. MPS has developed a list of current offers on our Internet Resources for Families page at https://mps.milwaukee.k12. wi.us/en/District/AboutMPS/District-News/Covid-
19-Updates/04-20-20-Internet-Resources-for-Families. htm. Accessing education online is easy! Visit the MPS Online Learning Resources page to find recommended websites by grade level, family
resources, virtual field trips, social emotional support, and more. Students can safely log in once through Clever to access many educational websites. Read detailed Clever instructions or watch our Clever video for assistance logging in. Important note for Summer Academy students: The Summer Academy June Session will take place through an online platform. A computer or Chromebook will be required. Families are advised to request a Chromebook now so students are ready for June Session, which is scheduled for June 1 to 26. Learn more about Summer Academy. Troubleshooting: If your device does not work prop-
erly, do not attempt to repair the device. Email the MPS Technology Support Center at tsc@milwaukee.k12.wi.us immediately. Please include a phone number, school name, student name and ID number, and description of the problem in the email so we can contact you. For questions about your child’s education or school, contact your school principal. For district questions, families have two options. MPS Central Services phone line call (414) 475-8393. MPS special hotline to assist families call (414) 475-8900. Both lines are open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

If there were a vaccine to protect against covid-19, would you get it? (Part 1) By now, it has become abundantly clear that black people have suffered disproportionate mortality due to COVID-19. For example, in Chicago, while blacks made up 42 percent of cases, they were 56 percent of the deaths in a recent analysis. In my city of Washington DC, blacks were most recently about 50 percent of COVID-19 diagnoses but represented almost 80 percent of the deaths! With that in mind, if there were a SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) vaccine, would you get it? Think about that while I explore this issue. Trapped between a rock and a hard place Black people are trapped between a rock and a hard place when it comes to medical issues. Historically, we have been neglected, and even abused, within the medical system. This has ranged from being denied access to medical treatment to being used as guinea pigs in dangerous research. The most egregious case is the notorious Tuskegee experiment where black men were denied medical treat-
ment for syphilis and simply used to document the natural history as they slowly succumbed to the infection. The study went on for decades before it was forced to stop in the ‘70s. As horrific as it was, it was by no means unique and other groups of people have been exploited in very dangerous medical research, particularly incarcerated men and even active duty military. Medical system mistrust So it should come as no surprise that many of us have great mistrust for the medical system. This has made many blacks reluctant to engage in the medical system
and as a result, we often do not get the health advantages of protective interventions including disease screenings, vaccinations and treatments. So through this ironic twist, our justifiable fear ultimately comes back to hurt us. Vaccines eliminate diseases Vaccines are responsible for the total elimination of debilitating infectious diseases like polio and smallpox. Vaccination of infants against diseases of childhood are public health strategies that are among the most universally successful approaches.
However, failure to vaccinate children out of fear of increasing the risk of Autism has led to a resurgence of measles, an infection that we had eradicated. There is no solid scientific evidence showing childhood vaccinations increase rates of autism. Similarly, many folk refuse to get a seasonal flu shot. While no vaccine is 100 percent effective, millions of Americans fail to get the vaccine and this results in tens of thousands of people dying every year from the flu, mainly the elderly and people with other medical conditions. Vaccine myths I was stunned a few days ago to read on Facebook that people were making claims that a research study showed that folks who had received the flu vaccine were more likely to contract COVID-19. This is simply not true. It resulted from misinterpretations of studies by people who are not scientists or medical professionals. This myth is rapidly spreading across social media within black networks. Many of
these folks have pledged never to get a flu vaccine as a result of this. It made me wonder if these people would get a coronavirus vaccination if there was one available. So while it is not uncommon for a medical intervention developed to help us having unintended consequences, it is important that good research and science help us tease this out. It is very common for misinformation to circulate in our communities and this can have negative health consequences for us. In the next article, I will discuss the potential for a SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) vaccine and the science surrounding this quest. In the meantime, stay safe! Understand that the states that are opening up their businesses and relaxing protective policies are doing this against the recommendation of medical and public health professionals. PLEASE continue to stay at home, practice social distancing and hand washing and wear a face mask when you go out! Next week: Part 2
Staying safe when you are an essential worker We all have had to make rapid adjustments to our lives since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic. Many of us have turned our homes into offices, classrooms, fitness centers, playgrounds, and movie theaters all at once.

If you need to, say a prayer or meditate. Do whatever you need to make it through the day. • To go the extra mile, check with your co-workers to make sure they’re feeling okay.
