On Sunday, June 13, 2021 The Milwaukee Times Weekly Newspaper hosted the 2021 Louvenia Johnson Scholarship Awards at the WAAW Center, 3020 West Vliet Street. The scholarship was started by Milwaukee Times co-founder Louvenia Johnson on February 27, 1988 at the third annual Black Excellence Awards Program. The Louvenia Johnson Journalism Scholarship Fund was established in recognition of the outstanding contributions Mrs. Johnson has made in fostering journalism excellence in all areas of the community. Normally the scholarships are presented at the Times' Annual Black Excellence Awards, but due to COVID-19 the event was postponed this year. However, the Times was able to present the scholarship awards to the twelve outstanding students at a much smaller, more intimate event. The twelve student recipients this year were Janae Adams, Trinay Austin (not pictured), Davidi Alepembwe, Shaylin Crosby, Jonillia Davis, Stephawn Easley, Leroy Hope, Jakobie Jackson, Anyiah Lobley, Jalen Reed, Monica Slade and Joshua Wilder. The keynote speaker was University of Wisconsin-Parkside Vice Chancellor for Advancement Willie Jude II, M.Ed (Top photo, left).
What Is Juneteenth?
Juneteenth commemorates the effective end of slavery in the United States in the United States and is considered the Juneteenth and slavery in Texas longest-running African American holiday. In Texas, slavery had continued as the state experienced no large-scale fighting or Confederate General Robert E. Lee had significant presence of Union troops. Many surrendered at Appomattox Court House enslavers from outside the Lone Star State two months earlier in Virginia, but slavery had moved there, as they viewed it as a safe had remained relatively unaffected in Tex- haven for slavery. as—until U.S. General Gordon Granger stood on Texas soil and read General OrAfter the war came to a close in the spring ders No. 3: “The people of Texas are in- of 1865, General Granger’s arrival in Galformed that, in accordance with a procla- veston that June signaled freedom for Texmation from the Executive of the United as’s 250,000 enslaved people.

Juneteenth (short for “June Nineteenth”) marks the day when federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas in 1865 to take control of the state and ensure that all enslaved people be freed. The troops’ arrival came a full two and a half years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth honors the end to slavery An NCON Communications Publication
But in reality, the Emancipation Proclamation didn’t instantly free any enslaved people. The proclamation only applied to places under Confederate control and not to slave-holding border states or rebel areas already under Union control. However, as Northern troops advanced into the Confederate South, many enslaved people fled behind Union lines.
The year following 1865, freedmen in Texas organized the first of what became the annual celebration of "Jubilee Day" on June 19. In the ensuing decades, Juneteenth commemorations featured music, barbecues, prayer services and other activities, and as Black people migrated from (Continued on pg. 8) www.milwaukeetimesnews.com

Where and how to celebrate Juneteenth in Milwaukee in 2021 Here is Milwaukee's guide to any event or celebration on the day marking the end of slavery
As efforts to make Juneteenth a national holiday continue, people in Milwaukee are having celebrations of their own. Juneteenth, held annually on June 19, celebrates the end of slavery in the United States and the date many slaves in Texas finally found out they were free. Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the end of slavery in the United States, according to Juneteenth.com. It is "a day, a week, and in some areas a month marked with celebrations, guest speakers, picnics and family gatherings." In recent years, Juneteenth "commemorates African American freedom and emphasizes education and achievement." Here's a guide to the Juneteenth events happening around Milwaukee this year: June 16 - SPECIAL EVENT: JUNETEENTH: The Promise of Freedom is an online presentation about the aforementioned holiday. Dr. Charles Taylor will lead the interactive presentation and examine history and current social problems. The event is free, but attendees will need tickets through Eventbrite.

Keep your eyes on the horizon for this event coming up in August, too. The Black is Beautiful Ride: Vol. II Join local rapper WebsterX and other prominent organizers in Milwaukee with a celebration of unity and justice at the second Black is Beautiful Bike Ride on August 16. Riders will meet at 1 p.m. at Reservoir Park located at 2230 N Bremen Street in Milwaukee. The event is a moment to collectively exhale as a community and ride for Black lives, WebsterX told Wisconsin Bike Fed. Juneteenth is held on June 19 because that was the date in 1865 when Union Maj. Gen. Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, to announce that the Civil War had ended and all slaves were free. Many of the slaves in Texas had not known of President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, which had actually given them freedom more than two years earlier. Granger read "General Order No. 3," which stated,
"The people of Texas are informed that, in accordance with a proclamation from the executive of the United States, all slaves are free. This involves an absolute equality of personal rights and rights of property between former masters and slaves," according to the city of Galveston, which has an historical marker for its connection to the holiday. Henry Louis Gates Jr., a Harvard University professor and African American historian, wrote in The Root magazine that Juneteenth is "an occasion for gathering lost family members, measuring progress against freedom and inculcating rising generations with the values of self-importance and racial uplift." Most states have Juneteenth listed as an official holiday, although it is not a national holiday. In 1980, Texas became the first state to designate Juneteenth as a holiday. In the time since, 45 other states have decided to officially recognize the day, according to The New York Times. Juneteenth celebrations have occurred in most states, according to Juneteenth. com. A number of cities and towns held events and parades for the 150th anniversary in 2015.

Growing positivity—mind and body By Sandra Millon Underwood, RN, PhD, FAAN Professor, UW-Milwaukee College of Nursing Research has shown that communing with nature is beneficial to our health and well-being. Likewise, research has shown that gardening can improve physical and mental health. Research has shown that communing with nature and gardening can reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety and promote heart health, promote weight loss, and reduce the risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, stroke, cancer, fibroids, and several other health concerns.
Valeria E. Carter, MD, Research Associate for Healthy Eating Active Living (HEAL) Milwaukee grew up in a culture that avidly gardens and has researched the connection between nature and mental well-being. “Gardening, in general, has obvious physical benefits. It also increases access to fresh foods and improves food security. “There are many life lessons we can learn from gardening. Gardening can teach us to let go of perfectionism when we see how nature gives itself grace. For example, even if the vegetables or plants don’t turn out exactly how we tended, they can become fertilizer for new beginnings. We can start over. Gardening also allows us to turn away from our computer screen to give ourselves opportunities to connect with nature. Even if you don’t live with a chronic condition, or have an autoimmune disease, we are all learning to handle stress— especially on the heels of the pandemic—so we all benefit from activities and spaces that help us reduce stress. “My culture is very nature-based, so growing up I watched both of my grandmothers and my mother tend to their plants. I garden for visual purposes. I garden so I can feel that sense of peace, serenity, and see that there is something alive next to me,” said Dr. Carter.
Ghazaalah OmarDadzie, affectionately known as ‘Sister G’, is a member of the Healthy Eating Active Living (HEAL) team. She is also a cheerleader and an advocate for the benefits of maintaining a positive attitude. “I do not have a garden, but I have some house plants that my husband and I share. He waters them and I direct him” she said laughing. “I am basically a homebody, so being confined during the pandemic did not really bother me. I always try to maintain a positive attitude whether it is by tending plants or something doing something else. I think everyone should find something that can uplift them or someone they can uplift. Find the joy in whatever it is that you do, even if you must laugh by yourself and love yourself,” said Sister G.
Remaining positive and loving herself is something that Stephanie Momon has learned to do in the face of difficult circumstances. She finds one of her ‘happy places’ in gardening, which can be a productive and healthy activity for people living with chronic diseases or disabilities. Momon is a breast cancer survivor. She was also in a car accident that resulted in a traumatic brain injury. She knows firsthand about the physical and mental benefits that can take place with gardening. “I have been gardening since I was 10 years old. Growing up on North 16th Street in Milwaukee, my parents always had a garden. They planted collard greens, cabbages, tomatoes, beets, turnips, and kale. They also had a big apple tree in

the backyard. Gardening saves money and the food is healthier than food that is canned. I have trouble kneeling, so when I go to the garden, I bring a towel with me to lessen the discomfort of kneeling. I was using a cane. But my balance and walking have improved, so I no longer need a cane when I go out to the garden. “I enjoy being out in the fresh air and I love checking on the vegetables and watching them grow. I am a two-time survivor— breast cancer and was hit by a drunk driver in 2008 — so I’m making the most of my life. I’m learning, eating healthier, and engaged with an activity that I enjoy. Having a physical disability does not stop me. I basically do everything that everyone else does,” said Momon. Momon now has a ‘garden buddy’ to help her learn different gardening tips. She recently enlisted a friend, Curtistene Montgomery, to share a community garden plot with her at the We Got This Community Garden site located on 9th and Ring Streets. “I’ve been gardening for about 45 years. I grew up in the south and my parents had a big garden every year. As soon as my siblings and I turned 8 years old, my mother would teach us how to plant and care for vegetables in the garden. I loved gardening and sitting out in the garden eating ripened tomatoes with my brother,” said Montgomery. In fact, Montgomery loves gardening so much that in addition to the community garden she now shares with her garden buddy, she has two other gardens in Shorewood—one at Shorewood High School, and another in a neighbor’s backyard. “My neighbors spend most of the year in Arizona, so they allow me to use their backyard for gardening. In return, I save them some of my harvest. I grow tomatoes, spinach, peas, beans, collard greens, cabbage, arugula, basil, and other vegetables. After harvesting, I freeze, can, and preserve the vegetables. Since I end up with so many vegetables, I give some of the harvest to my neighbor, relatives, and friends. “I recently attended a cooking demonstration sponsored by Groundwork Milwaukee. It was there that I learned about the different community gardening sites. I knew Stephanie wanted a garden, so we decided to
to make changes in their physical and social environment to improve nutrition and physical activity. ‘Like’ their Facebook page that’s full of videos of healthy recipes and low-cost, no-cost exercise.
The Benefits of Gardening share a plot at the We Got This Community Garden site. They have classes there on Tuesdays and share gardening tips. That is when we go there to tend our gardens—pulling up weeds, fertilizing, watering, and making sure everything is intact,” said Montgomery. “A neighborhood resident oversees the community garden, so when Momon and Montgomery are unable to tend to their garden, he makes sure the garden is properly watered.” Montgomery said she likes the fact that Groundwork Milwaukee provides vegetables to enable our neighbors to help themselves. She has more than enough vegetables from her two other gardens, so she plans to donate her portion of the harvest from the We Got This Garden to neighborhood residents. She also said that, even with two other gardens, gardening is not time consuming. “I might spend four hours a week at all the sites at the start of the planting season. As the vegetables start to grow, it takes less time to take care of them. Gardening is a wonderful thing—it’s fun, relaxing, and you get to eat the bounty,” she said. Dr. Carter agrees with these urban gardeners about the physical and mental merits of gardening. “Besides the obvious benefits of harvesting healthy and nutritional food, there is something beneficial that comes from experiencing ‘life’ around us. These spaces are important for people with chronic health conditions or disabilities. In the aftermath of the pandemic, we are all looking for outlets to bridge depression and practice patience. Being around the creativity of those who garden and the different health benefits that come from that is invaluable,” she said. **** The Healthy Eating and Active Living Milwaukee (HEAL) is a culturally-tailored program that aims to provide education, resources to secure healthy foods, and active living supports for adults at-risk for developing lifestyle-related diseases; and, to empower adults
Planting vegetables can reap bountiful and delicious harvests for your family, but gardening can also do wonders for your wellbeing. Here are eight health benefits of gardening. 1. Gardening can build self-esteem. Perhaps you weren’t born with a green thumb, but after planting, nurturing, and harvesting plants, you might see a slightly different person: one who can grow things and is a little more in tune with the earth. 2. Gardening is good for your heart. All that digging, planting and weeding burns calories and strengthens your heart. 3. Gardening reduces stress. Gardening can help reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. 4. Gardening can make you happy. Getting dirt under your nails while digging in the ground can make you happy. 5. Gardening can improve your hand strength. All that digging, planting, and pulling does more than produce plants. Gardening also will increase your hand strength. 6. Gardening is good for the whole family. Gardening can be a solo activity or provide an opportunity for bonding with your family and friends. The happiness and stress relief that gardening provides is a great thing to share with loved ones. Also, gardening has special benefits for kids. Early exposure to dirt has been linked to numerous health benefits, from reducing allergies to autoimmune diseases. 7. Gardening can give you a boost of vitamin D. A healthy dose of vitamin D increases your calcium levels, which benefits your bones and immune system. Exposure to sunlight helped older adults achieve adequate amounts of vitamin D. Remember your sunscreen. 8. Growing your own food can help you eat healthier. If you have a vegetable, herb, or fruit garden, you’re getting fresh produce that you know hasn’t been treated with pesticides. (Source: HealthTalk.com)

Gardening Tips for People With Physical Disabilities • Raise garden beds to help people with physical restrictions, and to avoid bending and stooping. • Provide tables that are wheelchair accessible where people can do potting and planting together. • Use pots, window boxes, wheelbarrows and raised containers to make gardening more accessible – these can also be used when space and sunlight are limited. • Provide retractable hanging baskets that can be pulled up and down so they are within easy reach. • Use containers with wheels, which can be moved around easily to accessible positions and to catch the sunlight.

Six ways to reduce your risk for Alzheimer’s disease By Nathaniel Chin, MD Dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease affects more than 6 million Americans, 120,000 here in Wisconsin. Symptoms vary person to person but commonly include gradual decline in memory, thinking skills, and ability to complete familiar tasks. Many factors may play a role in an individual’s risk for developing Alzheimer’s disease. Age is the greatest risk factor. Women, combat veterans, and people with Down syndrome carry a higher risk for Alzheimer’s disease than the general population, and African Americans, Native Americans, and Latinx populations are diagnosed with the disease at higher rates than whites. There is no cure for Alzheimer’s disease, but scientists have found evidence that some lifestyle changes may delay the onset or lower risk for the disease. Adopt these six brain health recommendations to help reduce your risk for Alzheimer’s disease.
Stay physically active. Physical activity and exercise benefit the whole body, including the brain. Regular walks, group aerobics classes, and working out on machines are all good exercise, but vacuuming, gardening, mowing the lawn, and other home chores get your body moving too. Talk to your doctor about the type of physical activity that is right for you. In general, healthy seniors should aim for 30 minutes of moderate intensity activity five days a week. If you can’t fit in 30-minute bouts each day, attempt two 15-minute bouts instead. Eat healthy foods. Food is fuel for your body and your brain. For optimal brain health, I recommend the MIND diet for healthy brain aging. The MIND diet emphasizes eating vegetables,
dark leafy greens, nuts, fish, poultry, beans, whole grains, and berries, especially strawberries and blueberries. The diet also recommends limiting red meat, butter and margarine, cheese, pastries and sweets, and fried foods. Prioritize healthy sleep. Sleep is essential to healthy living. Aim for 7 to 9 hours of restorative sleep each night, prioritize sleep, and start a relaxing evening routine that includes dim lights (but not smartphones, TVs, or other screens) and peaceful thoughts. Socialize with friends. Studies show that people with regular social contact are less likely to develop dementia and social interaction may even help delay the progression of dementia. Get togethers with friends, neighbors, family, and acquain-
tances require us to converse, engage in activities, and think about topics we may not think of independently — all factors that help our brains stay active. Exercise your brain. Cognitive enrichment is another way of saying exercise for your brain. How can you exercise your brain? Learn new things! Practicing a new language, playing an instrument, trying a new craft, and learning a new topic and teaching it to others are all examples of exercise for your brain. Activities that are mentally stimulating and engaging have a positive impact on brain health. Manage stress. Chronic stress contributes to inflammation and vascular disease, and can lead to negative, long-term effects on the brain. The link between stress
and brain health is still being explored, but in the meantime it’s important to find ways to reduce the effects of chronic stress and build coping mechanisms. One way is through mindfulness. This might include meditation, performing breathing exercises, and reserving time for yourself to relax on a daily basis.

World Sickle Cell Day shines light on disease impact in minority communities Sickle cell disease impacts thousands every year, and people of color make up a large percentage of those affected. But more than 100 years after its discovery, treatment hasn’t come very far. So far, only three medications approved by the Food and Drug Administration are on the market. Juneteenth is recognized as the day slaves in Galveston, Texas, found out they were free. But June 19th is also World Sickle Cell Day. It’s a blood disorder inherited from parents. There’s not much people can do to prevent it, but experts say everyone can be prepared. Sickle cell disease gets its name from the sickle-shaped blood cells that form in people who have it. Duane Alexander is one of the thousands living with sickle cell.
Sickle cell traits are passed to children by their parents. If one parent has the trait and the other doesn’t, the child won’t develop the disease. But if both parents have the sickle cell trait, there’s a 50 peercent chance a child will develop it.
ly for the parents who have traits,” Shelly Hatcher also with The Martin Center, said. Alexander said he’s holding out hope one day there will be a cure.

The sickle-shaped cells can cause blood clots. As a result, restricted blood flow and oxygen to the organs causes extreme pain. “And picture a semi-Mack truck about to hit you. That’s how excruciating the pain is. That’s how bad it hurts,” Alexander said.
“It’s something they were born with and in a lot of ways it’s unfair to hand somebody this kind of life when they didn’t do anything to deserve it,” Gibson said.

Father's Day
Wednesday, June 23, 2021
The truth about Black fatherhood Stereotypes about Black fathers The stereotype of Black fathers as “absent” and Black children as “fatherless”— first introduced over 50 years ago—has, like many racial stereotypes, refused to die. In 1965, white sociologist and Assistant Secretary of Labor Daniel Patrick Moynihan published a report called The Negro Family: The Case For National Action. This report claimed that increasing rates of “out-of-wedlock” births and single-mother homes among African-Americans signaled the coming destruction of Black families, and these trends were to blame for many of the issues facing the Black community in America. (The report has been roundly criticized by many race scholars.) Today, around 70 percent of Black children are born to parents who aren’t married. (Rates of “out-of-wedlock” births have, of course, increased among all races since 1965.) The idea that racial disparities in education, employment, income, incarceration, and more can be blamed not on structural racism, but on this “absence” of black fathers has been parroted by pundits and politicians alike. Even Black public figures have shared these statistics. In 2008, President Barack Obama said during his Father’s Day speech that “more than half of all black children live in single-parent households… children who grow up without a father are five times more likely to live in poverty and commit crime; nine times more likely to drop out of schools and 20 times more likely to end up in prison. They are more likely to have behavioral problems, or run away from home or become teenage parents themselves. And the foundations of our commu-
nity are weaker because of it.” This stereotype ignores clear evidence that Black fathers are in fact more involved in their children’s care, and their lives, than fathers of other races. The truth: Black fathers are more involved We can not equate the number of unmarried dads to the number of “fatherless” children. First of all, marriage rates don’t necessarily reflect the number of Black fathers living with their children; as writer Josh Levs points out, the majority of Black dads (2.5 million of around 4.2 million) do live with their kids, even if they’re not married to their partner. And second of all, according to a 2013 report by the CDC, Black dads—whether they live with their children, or not—are more actively involved in their children’s lives than their counterparts of other races. For example, the CDC reports that Black fathers who live with their children are more likely than fathers of other races to provide physical care (bathe, diaper, feed) for their young children, read to their children, and help their children with their homework—all on a daily basis—than fathers of other races who also cohabitate with their kids. The report also reveals that, among dads who don’t live with their children, Black dads are more likely to be involved in care, including reading to their children, helping them with homework, talking to them about their days, and taking them to activities, than Hispanic or white dads who live apart from their kids. Non-residential Black fathers are also the least likely to report that they’re not at all involved in

We know that Black men are active, involved fathers, and that having children is important to them—and we also know that their infertility rates are higher. What we need now, and in the future, is more research into fertility for Black men and Black couples, and to bust the myth of the “absent black father” once and for all.
