George Floyd and #BLM protests continue for second week
Sunday, June 7, 2020 marked the tenth day of protests in the city of Milwaukee, more than two weeks after Floyd George died in police custody when a Minneapolis police officer kneeled on his neck for almost nine minutes. Over the past two weeks of protest we have seen violent and militaristic response from the police departments around the country. Many have used tear gas, rubber bullets and outright violence against protesters. The protests' call for justice has turned into a call to defund and demilitarize the police in virtually every city. Black Lives Matter protests continue in virtually all 50 states. Toward the close of business on June 8, 2020, a group materialized on North Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive in front of The Milwaukee Times Weekly Newspaper office. For more photos of protests around the city please see page 10.

solo hit with the 1978 disco track, "Heaven Must Have Sent You." Pointer released three albums with Motown before stepping back a bit from the spotlight, though she still performed periodically over the years.

Gov. Evers announces $25 million Wisconsin Rental Assistance Program On Wednesday, May 20, 2020, Gov. Tony Evers announced the launch of a $25 million Wisconsin Rental Assistance Program for Wisconsinites who have experienced income loss as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Administered by the Department of Administration (DOA), the Wisconsin Rental Assistance Program will provide direct financial assistance for owed rent, security deposits, and wrap around services for program eligible individuals. The effort is funded by $25 million in federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act dollars. “Wisconsinites have enough to worry about as we continue to battle the deadly COVID-19 virus. They should not also have to worry about losing the roofs over their head,” Gov. Evers said. “The Wisconsin Rental Assistance Program will hopefully provide peace of mind to a lot of people, as well as a reminder to them that we are all in this together. They have not been forgotten.” Eligible applicants must be an adult Wisconsin resident with a household income at or below 80 percent of the county median income in the month of or prior to the application date. Once approved, eligible individuals may receive assistance of up to $3,000 in a combination of rental payments and/or security deposits. These pay-
ments will be paid directly to the landlord on behalf of the tenant. DOA will partner with Wisconsin Community Action Program Association member agencies to accept applications from interested individuals and distribute the rental assistance. “Collaborations with ‘boots-on-the-ground’ partner organizations will be critical to ensuring eligible Wisconsin residents are aware of this new program and are able to receive rental assistance relief quickly,” said DOA Secretary Joel Brennan. More details about the Wisconsin Rental Assistance Program, including complete eligibility criteria, application documentation requirements, and the distribution process for the rental assistance, will be shared in the upcoming days. Initial details regarding the program are available at https://doa. wi.gov/Pages/LocalGovtsGrants/COVID-Grants. aspx.

Floyd Mayweather pays funeral expenses for George Floyd Former champion boxer Floyd Mayweather will pay the funeral expenses for George Floyd who died in police custody after Derek Chauvin, who was fired from his job as a Minneapolis police officer, pressed his knee on the back of Floyd’s neck until he stopped breathing. On June 3, Keith Ellison, the Minnesota Attorney General, announced additional charges of second-degree murder against Chauvin and charges of aiding and abetting murder for three other former Minneapolis police officers who assisted Chauvin as he restrained Floyd. Floyd was lying face down on the sidewalk with his arms handcuffed behind his back for close to nine minutes. Before falling unconscious he repeatedly said he could not breathe. The incident was filmed by several bystanders. The murder occurred May 25.
Floyd Mayweather Leonard Ellerby, CEO of Mayweather’s production company, announced the news on ESPN. Mayweather has agreed to pay funeral expenses in Minnesota, Houston, Charlotte and an unnamed city. The price tag is $85,000, according to TMZ. Floyd, a native of Hous-
George Floyd ton, will be buried there. A service honoring Houston’s native son was held for him on Tuesday, June 9, 2020. An estimated 60,000 attended the event. Mayweather won boxing titles in five weight divisions en route to a 50-0 career record.

A congratulatory message to the Wisconsin graduating class of 2020 Dear Graduates, I want to take this moment to congratulate all of the Graduates of the Class of 2020. What you have accomplished during this unprecedented time in our nation’s history is nothing short of miraculous. Each one of you have already exhibited ‘a lot’ of what it will take to be successful as you navigate through life. You have exhibited calmness in a time of chaos; focus in the midst of distractions; but most of all, you have shown ‘resilience’ as we ‘Bounce Back’ from the impact of COVID-19. I understand that many of you may have been disappointed about not having prom or the traditional graduation ceremony. However, ‘sometimes in life’ when there appears to be no silver lining, you must draw one yourself. So, I ask you ‘not’ to view this situation from the standpoint of what you lost, but from the perspective of what you have gained. By your accomplishment, you have gained the respect of an entire nation—as you are the first to accomplish a feat that has never been done in our lifetime—and I ‘for one’ congratulate you. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said, “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience but where he stands in times of challenge and controversy.” Graduates of 2020, this is your time to shine. You were On Time! On Task! and you were On a Mission! Because you Cooperated and Participated—now you have Graduated! A few years ago, you entered school unsure and uncertain of what you would encounter. When you entered school, you entered to learn. Now as you leave, you exit to serve. However, you exit prepared and equipped with a unique set of academic and social skills to help you succeed in this ever-changing world. Graduates, in a world filled with uncertainty, change is the only constant. You must either change with change or be consumed by change—’and the reality is’ ‘the only people who like change are babies!’ But I challenge
you to be the change you want to see in the world. Graduates, what legacy will you leave for others to emulate? Will you soar high like an eagle? Will you go down the path that someone else made or will you be a trailblazer and blaze a path where no one has gone before? Will you be a problem or a problem solver? Will you destroy the bridge or be a Bridge Builder? Graduates, ‘in life’ world, the race is not given to the swift or to the strong but the one Darrell L. Williams, Ph.D. who endures until the end! Successful acThe road to success is alcomplishment of your goals ‘you will find’ is 10% inspi- ways under construction. But ration and 90% perspiration. despite life’s pitfalls, never let In that spirit, ‘as you gradu- anyone take your spirit and ate’ you have not reached the always must remember that ending—but the ending to a you still have value. Graduates, I want to tell you a quick story new beginning. As you sit here at the cross- about a watch… Before dying an elderly father roads of your life, many of you will go to college, some once told his child: This is your of you will pursue the skilled grandfather’s watch and it is a trades, some of you will join couple of hundred years old.

only thing in this world that is fair—is the county fair!” The truth is, ‘in life,’ SOMETIMES YOU ARE THE PIGEON AND SOMETIMES YOU ARE THE STATUE. Ironically, sometimes you will be both. To the Class of 2020, the goals and choices you make today will impact you tomorrow. Therefore, I challenge you to choose your friends carefully. Do not measure your friends by Facebook or measure your worth by ‘likes on a post.’ If you don’t remember but one thing, remember this, “Friends are like diamonds most precious and rare, but fake friends are like autumn leaves, they fall everywhere.” ‘Graduates,’ as you ponder about the next step of your life, I encourage you to think about the fierce urgency of ‘right now!’ You are ‘now’ the they that we talk about. You are the one who the world is depending on to champion the causes to make our world a better place than the one we found. Graduates, you will not live forever ‘as many of you think at this moment.’ Our goal should not be to live forever but to create a positive legacy that will! A wise poet once said, “I have only a tiny minute, with 60 seconds in it, forced upon me, I can’t refuse it. I did not seek it! I did not choose it, but I will suffer, if I lose it. I must give account for it, if I abuse it. It’s just a tiny little minute, but eternity lies within it. So, ‘Graduates’ use your time wisely and stay focused on your dreams. But remember, you only dream when you are sleep. You must wake up and take action steps to make your dreams a reality. Not only do you owe it to yourself, but you owe it to a whole generation of people who fought and died ‘just’ for you to receive a quality education and for you to have a seat at the table. I once heard that, “A child only educated at school is an uneducated child.” Therefore, as you reflect on this important milestone, ‘if you are honest,’
you will realize that you did not accomplish this on your own. I want you to thank your parents and guardians and other loved ones who reared you and helped you along the way. Thank your teachers and administrators—who never gave up on you and who helped prepare you for life beyond these physical and mental walls. Thank those who never gave up on you, when you thought about giving up on yourself. As well, thank those businesses who helped you by providing many needed resources as well as meaningful educational experiences and job opportunities. Say, “Thank you for your service,” to all of the Soldiers serving in ‘combat’ overseas, as well as those Soldiers, first responders and other agencies who are standing on the frontlines fighting this horrific pandemic called COVID-19. It is because of them and the blanket of freedom they provide that has allowed ‘both’ you and I to be here today. And lastly, I want you to thank those haters and doubters who thought you would never make it. Thank them for giving you the fuel and the motivation to rise ‘High’ above the low expectations they had of you. Let this be a lesson, “Never let the expectations of others be higher than the expectations you have of yourself.” Again, to the Graduating Class of 2020, what you have achieved during this unprecedented and historic time is more than commendable. Let me assure you that when the book is finally written and the scroll of courage, perseverance and resilience is read, your names will proudly and most deservingly be among them. As you write the next chapter in your book of life—do not let someone else hold the pen! Write your own story and make sure it a best seller! I, ‘for one’ look forward to reading it. Congratulations! #To all who read this message, our work is not done. Let us continue to support our Graduates by showing them the right way and being a positive example for them to follow.

The Counseling Corner
By Rev. Judith T. Lester, B.Min. M.Th
The parables of Jesus modernized for a contemporary audience (Week 1) The Bible contains the eternal Word of God. While times change, God’s Word never changes! Consider the parables of Jesus. Spoken over 2,000 years ago, Jesus used the parables to help His followers understand spiritual and moral truths. In the parables, Jesus used common everyday events to explain aspects of the kingdom of God. This month, I will look at 4 parables of Jesus and recreate a modern scenario using the interpretive elements in each parable to speak to my contemporary audience and together we will discover how the principles taught in the parables are still relevant today. The inspiration for this series is Pastor Fred L. Crouther, New Covenant Baptist Church, Milwaukee. I am always amazed how he can take a parable of Jesus and preach a modernized version of the parable, while preserving integrity of the parable. This is certainly a God-given gift and, thus, I am dedicating this month’s series to Pastor Crouther. Let’s begin by looking at the
story of the Good Samaritan. Read: The Good Samaritan - Luke 10:25-37 Jesus told the Good Samaritan parable in response to a question regarding which neighbor we are called to show love. Let’s look at the story in a similar contemporary scenario: One day an elderly woman spent the day volunteering at an elementary school and then visited for a few hours with her grandchildren. When she arrived home early that evening, she parked her car on the street just a few feet from
her home. Suddenly, someone came running up behind her, knocked her down and stole her purse. A minister on his way to his car after Bible Study saw the woman lying on the ground, side-eyed her, could hear her moaning and was relieved she was not dead. The minister continued walking to his car. As the minister strapped on his seat belt, he initially felt a sense of guilt for not going to the aid of the woman, but quickly dismissed it by saying within himself ‘that’s why we have first responders to address those type of issues.’’ Soon after, a few choir members left the same church and
were humming the tune of a new song the praise ensemble will debut during virtual online services Sunday. They also saw the elderly woman lying on the ground, and without saying a word to one another, crossed to the other side of the street to avoid walking directly past the woman. Finally, a person who left the church after experiencing “church hurt”, arrived home from work and sees the woman lying on the ground groaning in pain. The man ran over to the elderly woman and called 911. The man rode with the elderly woman in the ambulance to the ER and stayed with her until her family arrived. The man left his name and number with the family members and told them he would take care of the woman’s hospital bill over and above what Medicare Part A & B and any other supplemental insurance doesn’t pay. In the parable of the Good Samaritan, Jesus asked the young man, who was more neighborly? Answering correctly, Jesus told the man to go and do likewise. Beloved, there are people in our world who have been beaten or hurt physically, emotionally and/or mentally by life and others. We need
people like the Good Samaritan in today’s parable who will show love and concern for others, even the stranger, not just in words, but also in action.

Being Frank
By: Frank James Special to the Milwaukee Times
One suggestion to stop the killing Another day in the USA, another act of murder. As usual the murder led to marches and protests about the treatment of African American males in the USA. The latest murder to lead to these type of events is the George Floyd killing by a police officer. The USA has been in turmoil for the past few weeks since the tragedy. More legislation, settlements, or ministers on TV are not going to end the murder of African American males by police. Pride is one suggestion that may slow the trend down. I’ll say it once and for all, “African American people stop looking to glory grabbing ministers, advocates or any national movement to change your plight in the USA.” These factions are not doing anything to address the key problems in the African American community. Many of these ministers are seeking fame which leads to more people in the congregation which equals dollars. Advocates are usually
chasing government grants, jobs or glory. Many of these movements start with good intentions, then unknowingly or knowingly push a white or alternative agenda. These factions have been in the African American community since slavery and things have gotten worse. The key problem in the African American community is a lack of pride. African Americans show no sense of pride in who they are. Many African Americans are lost when it comes to any type of knowledge of their past status in the world. If African Americans even understood their history in the USA they would understand how they have been manipulated. African Americans have been manipulated to become the epitome of the racist images portrayed in the past. African Americans fought hard to shake off the ignorant coon or easy harlot image society wanted to put on them. In 2020 African Americans grasp these roles with relish. The African American
male has been so terrorized and neutered until it is no surprise that many seek alternative lifestyles. In the past the African American male was portrayed as a nappy headed ignorant savage in rural areas. A thug or criminal was the city version of the African American male. African American men fought with their last ounces of manhood in the latter parts of the 20th century to shake these images. In 2020 these images are all you see in the African American community. Entertainers have a great influence on society as far as fashion. African American males have been sold out via hip hop music which turned them into the racist imag-
es their forefathers fought against. The African American female has fallen. Just like the African American male the females fought hard to keep their dignity in a society that wanted to strip them of it. Racist images of a sex starved African American female with loose morals were used to portray African American women. The streetwalker was known in the 20th century by colorful wigs and fake eyelashes. Now these identifying traits of ladies of leisure are seen on African American females of all ages. In the 90’s African American women laughed at other women for wearing weave. In 2020 weave is more popular than chicken wings in the African American community. Well not that popular, close though. The solution is simple. African Americans have to discover a sense of pride in themselves. African Americans have no pride in who, what and how they look. Slovenly or dressed to go
play sports African American men are the norm in the African American community. Painted up trollops have become the norm for African American females. These two things lead to another problem, hate for one another in the African American community. Restore pride and the African American community will flourish. Will a sense of pride and love for one another keep African Americans safe from police brutality? Who knows? One thing is sure, the ministers, marches, movements and advocates haven’t done the job. Time for a change.

Justice for Colin? By Jacquelyn D. Heath Since the tragic murder of George Floyd at the hand (make that knee) of a Minneapolis police officer, people in the United States have been on a sojourn of soul searching to get on the right side of the future as far as race relations are concerned. After more than 400 years on this continent, old, young, black, white, gay, straight and all in between are publicly and privately striving to lay bare America’s conscience and their own individual character when it comes to this country’s dirty little secret that has been hiding in plain sight all this

time; namely, racism. One of the most overt acknowledgments of “finally getting it right” on racism was made recently by the National Football League (NFL) and its commissioner, Roger Goodell. Week after week during a normal August through February playing season, the nation gets all geeked up over the extraordinary talents and physical prowess of its professional athletes, the majority of whom are African American men, and unbelievable amounts of money change hands.

mirrored the wrongs that have been perpetrated on many levels and on many fronts for centuries. However, Mr. Goodell’s apology rang hollow for me, because two important words were missing. Those words were: Colin Kaepernick. I’ve spent most of my life bouncing back and forth between real estate claimed by one of the longest and fiercest rivalries in the NFL--that between the Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers---but I don’t profess to be much of a football fan. However, the name of Milwaukee-area native Colin Kaepernick came to my attention in 2017.

That was when the then-San Francisco 49ers quarterback had the audacity to kneel during the pre-game national anthem to quietly draw attention to the existence of racism in our country. The multiple recordsetting quarterback was summarily ostracized by NFL team owners after that display and he has not played in the league since that season. Any experienced bigot will tell you that the best way to deal with opposition and truth is to silence and discredit your critic by whatever means at your disposal. Remove their name and their accomplishments from the daily discourse and you will bring them to their knees in capitulation to your alleged power. The result is like a lynching---minus the noose perhaps---but the effect is the same.
Colin Kaepernick
for what it really is. There is no social justice for anyone until there is restorative justice for Colin Kaepernick. The first step on that road would be to have the guts to even say his name in a public forum and own up to the misdeed perpetrated against All the marching and him by you and others like posters and words in the you. name of “getting finally So, show some genuine woke” on the topics of leadership and strength of racism and bigotry are just so character for a real change. many wasted words and shoe We’re waiting, Mr. Goodell… leather until the real, full, unvarnished truth is faced An NCON Communications Publication

Our Community Voices
Paid For by:
Who is next? By Gwen Moore The pain, suffering, and tragic murder of George Floyd will forever be burned into our country’s memory. “I can’t breathe” will forever echo in our ears. Because it’s not the first time. I think of Earnest Lacy who was killed at age 22 in 1981, and remember my son who attended a rally with me holding a sign saying, “Who is next?”
And there’s so many more that we will never know. Racism is a public health crisis. And we are seeing two of its elements converge upon another, with COVID-19 disproportionately affecting the most vulnerable Americans, namely people of color and the elderly, and police brutality continually stealing sisters, brothers, daughters, and sons from communities.
Now, people across America – women, men, the LGBTQ community, white, black, and brown folks – are raising their voices against the racism and inequities that continue to plague our society. As a Black mother with Black children, who has had to worry about the safety of her children since they were born, I am encouraged that millions of others have declared, enough is enough.
Since that fateful Monday more than two weeks ago, we have seen America at both its best, and its worst. From the brutal death of George Floyd, we have seen peaceful protesters appear of all ages, races, sexual orientations, and backgrounds to take a stand. I am proud of all the young people I’ve seen make their voices heard. These young people are the generation that can, and must change the deeply flawed systems we’ve endured for decades. As we look forward, we must learn from the events we’ve witnessed and focus our frustration, and moral outrage towards meaningful change. That’s why I am proud that Congress has taken important steps to create real change with the unveiling of the Justice in Policing Act. As Congress continues to build upon its efforts to create safer communities for all, I will continue fighting for passage of my legislation, which ensures law enforcement officers have the skills and training to de-escalate situations.
I will keep working day and night for justice, for all of us. I will continue joining you in standing against racism and bigotry, against the systems that perpetuate this inhumanity, so that we can all rise together. We must work harder than ever to reduce poverty, improve access to affordable and quality health care and housing, and work towards securing environmental justice by guaranteeing clean air and water for every community. Each one of us is part of the broken system, and it will take all of us, peacefully, to fix it. Frederick Douglass said, “The life of a nation is secure only while the nation is honest, truthful, and virtuous.” I believe that our country is beginning a soul-searching journey and will eventually emerge better, brighter, and more equal for all. Please visit gwenmooreforcongress.com for information, and share your opinions with me on Facebook. com/GwenMooreforCongress/, @GwenforCongress on Twitter, and @gwenmooreforcongress on Instagram.

Protests continued into third week to support George Floyd and police brutality
What started as a call for justice over the wrongful death of George Floyd, while in police custody, has turned into a nation-wide call to end police brutality, demilitarize police forces across the country, and pulling funds for weapons and military style training to other need areas. Here in Milwaukee the protests have stretched into its third week. Since the start of the protests, all four Minneapolis officers that were involved in the death of George Floyd have been arrested and charged. Photos courtesy of Darrell Williams.
