Photos by Yvonne Kemp

On Saturday, July 13, 2019, the United Negro College Fund (UNCF) hosted their annual Walk/Run for Education at Veterans Park on the lakefront. The family friendly 5K (3.1 mile) walk and certified run is a major fundraising event for the the Milwaukee Chapter of UNCF. It has become an annual tradition with many of the corporate employees, donors, volunteers and friends who look forward to participating in it. This year's event in particular had more than 1600 registered participants. The funds from this run go to support UNCF scholarship and student support program for more than 900 students, as well as support to 37 historically black colleges. This year was particularly special as UNCF celebrates it 75th years of "Lighting the Way to Better Futures."

Pictured at the run are (right photo, from left) Wisconsin Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes; Milwaukee County Sheriff Earnell Lucas; UNCF Wisconsin Campaign Coordinator Julietta Henry; and Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, who all took part in the race.

Serena Williams is finally getting her own box of Wheaties She's the second black female tennis player to be featured.

Serena Williams is finally getting what she deserves.

The tennis superstar has won 23 grand slam singles titles, 14 grand slam doubles titles and four Olympic gold medals. She’s also been featured in various magazines, television shows and box-office breaking movies. But one thing Williams has never done is grace the cover of a box of Wheaties—until now.

“Serena exemplifies all of the personal attributes that Wheaties looks for when choosing who its next champion will be,” said Tiffani Daniels, marketing manager for Wheaties, in a press rejoining this exclusive club, lease. “On the court she has becoming the latest athlete been named the women’s to earn the honor. most valuable player seven “In 2001, Wheaties paid times, while off the court homage to a true champion she uses her voice to inspire and an icon by putting her and spark change to make

the world a better place.”

The limited-edition box will be available in grocery stores nationwide for the next several weeks, and Williams hopes that it will embolden other young women.

“I am so excited to be on the cover of the next Wheaties box,” Williams said in the press release. “I have dreamt of this since I was a young woman and it’s an honor to join the ranks of some of America’s most decorated athletes. I hope my image on this iconic orange box will inspire the next generation of girls and athletes to dream big.”

Being Frank

By: Frank James Special to the Milwaukee Times

The poisoned export Nations send out various items they manufacture to be sold in other countries. The item or good being sent to the other country is called an export. One example of an export are cars made in Germany that are sold in the USA. African Americans manufacture nothing but are despoiling the world by exporting the sickening socalled hip-hop culture. By exporting this façade of culture African Americans should be number one on the World’s Most Wanted List.

In places around the world people are being poisoned by this junk African Americans have created called hiphop culture.

In places like Africa the youth are watching videos on YouTube and adopting the so-called hip-hop African American culture. People of the world beware because this feces has not worked for African Americans. Do not buy a pig

in a poke. The so-called hiphop culture created in the USA by African Americans is a failure at best.

African Americans will scream that the hip-hop culture is an opportunity for artists to express their views.

This sounds good and may be true for a small percentage of hip-hop artists. Overall hip-hop culture is just a fool’s way of expressing crass materialism and fake criminal activity. The African American has been so duped until they do not see how rap music has been used against them to exploit their women and create havoc along with murder in their communities.

What other race of people finances a billion-dollar industry that does nothing but makes them look foolish while glorifying self annihilation? Exactly.

Neely Fuller once referred to the dilemma of African American self hate that

turns into a murder-a-victim mentality. African Americans have a victim mentality to the highest level; so with this in mind, why would any sane country want a culture from African Americans? Who wants to import something that doesn’t work and creates confusion and can possibly stunt future generations of youth? Once again, people of the world, do not fall for the Oke Doke. Hip-hop

culture has not brought anything but pain and misery to the African Americans who created it.

In other countries people may not have the luxuries African Americans have but in places like Ghana they have a vibe in their music.

The music vibe in Ghana I observed was one that was flowing, upbeat and positive.

One US citizen remarked about Ghana, “The music here makes you want to smile whereas the hip-hop music in the US keeps you angry.”

Why then would a country like Ghana want to import the African American hiphop culture? What civilized country wants to have youth that have no respect for themselves or others? What sane country would want to listen to their people refer to themselves as a derogatory term and relish the verbal abuse? Exactly again.

If African American hip-

hop culture is going to be exported, then it should come with a warning label.

The label should state: If you adopt this culture your youth and anyone who picks it up will suffer from the following: self hate, exploitation, misery and annihilation.

African Americans should be ashamed of themselves for misleading the world into buying a hip-hop culture that has led African Americans into a state of being that is worse than death.

Trump renews racist attacks against Democratic Congresswomen

The president stoked his racist comments telling four progressive lawmakers of color to “go back” to other countries.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday, July 16, 2019, continued his hate-filled attacks on a group of Democratic congresswomen of color, falsely accusing them of being “pro-terrorist” and “anti-USA.” Trump, who on Sunday, July 14, launched his racist tirade, fired off a series of fresh tweets apparently aimed at freshman Reps.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.), Ayanna Pressley (Mass.), Ilhan Omar (Minn.) and Rashida Tlaib (Mich.).

Omar and Tlaib last year became the first Muslim women elected to Congress. ″The Democratic Congresswomen have been spewing some of the most vile, hateful, and disgusting things ever said by a politician in the House or Senate,” wrote Trump, who also has falsely accused former President Barack Obama of founding the so-called Islamic State and who propelled the racist birther movement against him.

“Horrible, anti-Israel, anti-USA, pro-terrorist & public ... shouting of the F... word, among many other terrible things,” the president continued. “Why isn’t the House voting to rebuke the filthy and hate-laced things they have said?”

Trump on Tuesday claimed the progressive lawmakers used “filthy” language, referencing a comment made by Tlaib in January in which she called Trump “a motherfucker.” Republicans at the time issued statements condemning Tlaib’s choice of words, The Squad (left photo from left), Rashida Tlaib (MI.); Ilhan Omar (MN.); Al- and she later apologized for exandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY); and Ayanna Pressley (MA) at a press conference “the distraction” her comment caused. addressing the comments made by Mr. Trump (right photo).

July - National Cell Phone Courtesy Month – Week 3 This week we will continue to outline the rules of etiquette for cell phone usage while at work. We will also address courtesy when it comes to cell phones in places of worship.

4. Find a private place to make cell phone calls.

While it's okay to use your cell phone at work for private calls during breaks, don't stay at your desk.

If you must bring your cell phone to worship, then it would be a sign of respect to your fellow parishioners to turn it off or set it on vibrate. A ringing cell phone in worship while others are praying is quite disturbing.

Many churches, in fact, have instructed their greeters and ushers to remind parishioners as they enter worship to turn off their cell phones or use the vibrate feature.

phones.

Cell phones in worship In worship, many people use their cell phones to search for scriptures, or to make notes on the sermon, however, nothing is more annoying than having a cell phone ring during worship services. It is recognized that there are some professions that requires one to be available at all times. Even in that instance, the cell phone has a vibrate button. Setting one’s

Florida church eliminates $7.2M in medical debt burdening 6,500 families A Southern Baptist church in Florida will pay off more than $7.2 million in crippling medical debt impacting more than 6,500 individuals and families living at or below the poverty line in five Florida counties. Additionally, the church will also fund three foster homes for the next year.

Senior pastor Dan Glenn of Stetson Baptist Church in DeLand announced to his congregation during a July 7 service that the church of about 1,000 members raised more than $153,867 as part of its "53rd Sunday" initiative that will be split between two separate causes.

Since the church’s fiscal calendar ends in June and begins in July, Glenn told The Christian Post in an interview that the church’s calendar in 2018-2019 was blessed with 53 Sundays instead of the budgeted 52 Sundays like most calendar years.

With that extra Sunday service, Glenn said that the church’s council voted to approve a plan to collect offerings during its Sunday, June 30 service for the express purpose of giving that money away.

In early June, the congregation was told about the initiative and that the church would split its June 30 offerings.

Half would go to an organization called RIP Medical Debt in order to pay off

Pastor Dan Glenn speaks at Stetson Baptist Church in DeLand, Florida on July 7, 2019. medical debt for people in poverty living in the church’s home county of Volusia.

The other half of that money would be donated to Florida Baptist Children’s Homes to support a foster care home for an entire year with funding to pay for things like diapers, groceries and utilities.

As medical debt is one of the leading causes of financial difficulties for thousands of families across the U.S., RIP Medical Debt works with organizations and donors to buy up the medical debt of impoverished families for just pennies on the dollar. And in return, the organization forgives the person or family of their debt giving them a reprieve from the financial burden.

What happened, Glenn said, was that the church’s

initial goal of raising $48,000 combined for both programs was vastly exceeded.

He said enough money was raised to pay off medical debt for impoverished people in Volusia County, as well as those in neighboring Lake, Putnam, Marion and Flagler counties.

And while the church planned to support just one foster care home for a year, enough funds were raised to support three foster care homes for a year.

“This was something that really struck a chord with our church,” Glenn told CP. “Medical debt is something that I think everyone can get behind. But our church is unique in that we have an undercurrent in our church of fostering and adoption, both from the perspective of families that have fostered kids

Stop The Conflicts, Restore Your Peace Though Faith Edna Fenceroy, author of Minimizing Conflict through Restorative Conferencing, is now facilitating a monthly National Bible Study Teleconference on the fourth Thursday of each month. The focus of this 30-minute Bible study is to minimize conflict using biblical principles. Edna is a restorative mediator with the United States Postal Services and states the mission of this ministry is to inspire others to inspire others. You may join our next discussion on the fourth Thursday of the month at 10:00 a.m. CST by dialing 712-832-8700 and using ID code 468692.

and adopted children but also through adults who were foster children or adoptees.”

Glenn said that at the end of the June 30 service, $144,000 was collected in the offering. But over the course of that next week, nearly $10,000 more was raised.

“God’s people just really were very generous and poured their hearts out into this opportunity,” he said.

The pastor said that it is crucial for Christians to “put their faith into action.”

“I think it’s a responsibility that we have to show people in a practical way that God loves them,” he added.

According to Glenn, he became aware of RIP Medical Debt through news about how a Kansas church paid off about $2.2 million in medical debt instead of paying to promote its Easter services in April.

He noted that the $7.2-million estimate was based on the initial $144,000 offering collected on June 30. But with the extra nearly $10,000 donated through the course of that week, he expects the amount of medical debt to be paid off by the church to exceed $7.2 million.

While Stetson Baptist has about 1,000 members and an average Sunday attendance of about 550, Glenn said that about 350 donors gave to its “53rd Sunday” initiative.

“Obviously, this calendar anomaly of a 53rd Sunday is not something that is going to be available to us for

quite a while,” he said. “But that doesn’t mean that we won’t continue to seek out other opportunities to serve people in our community …

We want to do that in multiple ways and consistently.

We want to continue to be a church that is about reaching outside of our walls and making a difference for people who are not necessarily coming to church every Sunday.”

In the past few years, a number of churches nationwide have partnered with RIP Medical Debt to pay off the crippling debt facing thousands upon thousands of families.

For Easter 2018, Covenant Church in Carrollton, Texas, paid off medical debt for more than 4,000 families within a 20-mile radius of its campus. The amount of debt paid off by Covenant Church exceeded $10.5 million.

Earlier this year, a church in Maryland’s capital city of Annapolis paid off more than $2 million in medical debt facing 900 families across 14 Maryland counties.

In May, an Indiana church paid off $1.5 million in medical debt facing people in the Evansville area with a $15,000 donation to RIP Medical Debt.

On behalf of the Milwaukee Times, we applaud Stetson Baptist Church for these outstanding gifts to its community.

Student-made ice cream to be featured at Purple Door Ice Cream Students to visit Walker's Points store to see winning ice cream for sale

Milwaukee Public Schools and The Bartolotta Restaurants hosted the third annual ice cream-making competition in April. Four teams, totaling more than 20 students, competed in this fun and educational contest from all four MPS culinary arts schools: Bay View High School, James Madison Academic Campus, Vincent High School, and Washington High School.

On Wednesday, July 17, that won this year's Ice ple Door Ice Cream, 205 S 2019, high school students Cream Competition will be 2nd St, in Walker's Point to from Bay View High School making a special visit to Pur- see their own ice cream for

sale!

The 2019 winning ice cream is "Bango Helado con Chamoy," created by Bay View High School culinary arts students, a mango and beet ice cream with a Mexican dipping sauce.

The MPS culinary arts program, which uses the ProStart® curriculum, was initiated to build broad career-readiness skills needed for post-high school success and to connect students to the restaurant and hospitality industry. The program, initi-

ated by the National Restaurant Association, is a great way for students to prepare for work in the industry and is valuable for teaching leadership and other skills transferable to postsecondary choices.

MPS began its culinary arts program in 2016 with approximately 325 students.

Currently, the district has about 480 students enrolled in culinary arts programs at the four schools with culinary arts programs.

Warning: New disease found in pools across U.S. chemicals.

Of the outbreaks caused by bacteria and viruses, 58 percent were caused by cryptosporidium, which causes diarrhea that can last for up to 3 weeks.

During the summer, it’s natural for kids and adults alike to want to go swimming, but who would have thought that this summer 2019 could be the most dangerous time for swimming.

Local and private pools outbreaks of diarrhea-causing cryptosporidium are increasing 13 percent each year, and 7,465 cases of crypto infection were reported from 2009 through 2017.

The number of outbreaks reached 444, according to

the agency’s report released last week.

But it’s not just crypto that swimmers have to be wary of. The CDC says 493 outbreaks of some kind of bacteria, parasite, or chemical between 2000 and 2014 were associated with recreational facilities, including pools, hot tubs, and playgrounds, and caused 27,219 cases and eight deaths.

Most of those deaths were caused by bacteria or other pathogens, and 6 percent by

Thirteen percent were from pseudomonas, which causes hot tub rash and swimmer’s ear. Another 16 percent came from legionella, which causes Legionnaire’s disease and a milder illness with flu-like symptoms known as Pontiac fever.

Crypto is highly resistant to chlorine, which makes it hard to kill once it’s in the water.

“Swallowing just a mouthful of water with crypto in it can make otherwise healthy kids and adults sick for weeks with watery diarrhea, stomach cramps, nausea, and vomiting,” says Michele Hlavsa, chief of the CDC’s Healthy Swimming Program.

Jackson, chief executive officer of Real Times Media said as reported by Black Press USA. “We have several hundred thousand people reading on our website and we have more than 200,000 Facebook followers, so when you compare that to printing 20,000 newspapers once a week, there’s no comparison,” he said.

ginning the publication from the kitchen of his house with virtually no capital, aggressive marketing, especially to the growing number of African Americans moving north as part of The Great Migration led to rapid growth in circulation which by 1917 had grown to 230,000.

“At the end of the day, it’s about impact and influence.

Influencing the community; influencing the politicians and the business people – and you can’t do that with less than 20,000 readers a week and now we’ll publish every day. When you take a city like Chicago where Black peo-

ple are everywhere, with the printed version we couldn’t reach everyone,” Jackson told Black Press USA. The Chicago Defender was founded in 1905 by Robert Sengstacke Abbott, a lawyer.

He founded the newspaper to fight segregation, lynching and racism. Despite be-

Colson Whitehead on the ‘incredible evil’ of the real school that inspired ‘Nickel Boys’ - the true story about black youth

By Carolyn Kellogg Two miles north of Interstate 10, a cool breeze ruffles the overgrown grass around the Dozier School for Boys.

This is 2,200 miles east of Santa Monica, in Marianna, FL, where the air is filled with humidity. Grasshoppers sing and a jay swoops by, bright blue. The scattered buildings are picturesquely losing paint, an Instagram idyll, were it not for the terrible abuses that happened there. The school, which finally closed in 2011, is the inspiration for Colson Whitehead’s new novel, The Nickel Boys.

Whitehead researched the school’s history, but that’s enough for him. “I’ll never go there,” he says. “It's a place of incredible evil.”

For more than a century, Dozier was an outwardly progressive state reform school that behind closed doors wreaked horrors on its students. Mandated to provide “careful physical, intellectual and moral training” so the children would “be restored to the community with purposes and character fitting for a good citizen,” it instead dedicated a building to beatings and assaults. For years, it was rumored that some didn’t make it out alive.

In Whitehead’s fictional version, the Nickel School, teen boys Elwood and Turner become friends there in the early 1960s. They have different ideas about the world and that draws them

Colson Whitehead together. Yet we’re not sure how these young, gifted and Black boys will survive.

“The book is short and linear — at least by my usual standards,” Whitehead, a MacArthur Genius Fellow, says with a laugh. When I caught up with him by phone, he was holed up at a Maryland warehouse for three days, signing 15,000 books for advance orders.

That’s a big number, boosted by the prominence of his 2016 novel The Underground Railroad. A partly fantastical story of a young woman’s escape from slavery, the book won the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize and spent 49 weeks on the L.A. Times’ bestseller list.

Oprah Winfrey selected it for her book club and Barry Jenkins (Moonlight, If Beale Street Could Talk) is slated to direct it as a series for Amazon.

Whitehead first planned a lighter follow-up, a mystery.

But that changed as a new regime took over the White

House. “After Trump got elected, I felt sort of paralyzed over our current political situation: ‘What can I do?’” he says. “It seemed that working on ‘The Nickel Boys,’ which was sort of a back-burner idea, might be more healthy, constructive, in terms of feeling that I was engaging with the world.”

The Nickel Boys follows Elwood’s and Turner’s experiences at the school and the way their worldviews intersect. As teenagers, they are partly formed by their pasts while still inventing themselves; each is altered by the other’s teasing, pushing and care.

Turner is street-smart and independent, having left a bad home; he’s inclined to mischief that is no big deal if he’s lucky — and will lead to prison if he’s not. Elwood was raised by his grandmother; he winds up at the school because of a police mistake. He is careful, educated and reveres Martin Luther King, Jr. “It’s not like the old days,” Elwood tells Turner. “We can stand up for ourselves.”

Turner replies, “That … barely works out there — what do you think it’s going to do in here?”

There was joy, Whitehead says, in discovering these characters and making them real. He explored “the war between the two boys' philosophies: optimism, hope, activism and then pessimism, realism, cynicism — trying to find that integrated path

“The Nickel Boys” Colson Whitehead Doubleday; 224 pp. that makes a whole person,” he says. “Elwood doesn't have an answer; neither does Turner.”

A thread of dark humor runs through the story. While working without pay, Elwood notices “the brand of paint was Dixie, the color Dixie White.” Even when they are suffering, they can observe the ironies of their situation.

“The boys were called students, rather than inmates, to distinguish them from the violent offenders that populated prisons. All the violent offenders, Elwood added, were on staff.”

An ‘emotional summer’ The real Dozier school came to national — and Whitehead’s — attention in 2014, when efforts to identify an existing graveyard led to the discovery of a swath of unmarked student graves.

(The discoveries are ongoing;

recently, the state ordered a study of still more possible burials on the 1,200-acre campus.) Officials searched for relatives’ DNA to identify remains; former students shared tales of physical and sexual abuse and rumored killings.

That was, Whitehead says, “a very emotional summer” because of the violence against Black men that dominated the news. “Michael Brown getting shot in Ferguson and then the days of riots and police action and tanks running down the streets.

Eric Garner in Staten Island was strangled by policemen,” he says. “By the time I heard about Dozier I was feeling angry, I was feeling powerless before the machinery of institutional racism that's so entrenched, has always been here and always will be here, and the way it manifests itself.”

As a young Black man killed by a white police officer, Brown became part of a shameful litany. For Whitehead, growing up in New York City in the 1980s, that litany included Michael Stewart, a graffiti artist who died after being arrested by police in 1983.

“I think that in another circumstance, I could have ended up like Michael Brown,” Whitehead says. “I’ve been stopped by police, handcuffed, you know, because some white lady was mugged around the corner.”

How payday loans work – biggest dangers and 14 better alternatives (part 5) from 5 percent to 25 percent APR. On top of that, these loans often include an origination fee of 1 percent to 6 percent of your total debt (SoFi doesn’t charge origination fees and have some of the lowest interest rates available).

3. Debt settlement. Debt settlement companies negotiate with your creditors on your behalf. Their goal is to get lenders to settle for a lump-sum payment that’s less than what you actually owe.

You pay off this settlement by putting aside a fixed sum into an account each month, just as you do with a DMP. However, debt settlement companies often charge high fees for this service. Also, they often encourage you to stop paying your bills while they work toward a settlement. That means that if the settlement doesn’t work out, you’ll owe several late fees, leaving you in a deeper hole than ever. And if you do manage to get your debts settled, the Internal Revenue Service treats the amount of forgiven debt as income, so you have to pay taxes on it.

4. Sell or pawn your possessions If you need to raise cash in a hurry, try cleaning out your closets. Look for high-value items that you can sell, such as: • Jewelry (such as an engagement ring) • Electronics (new or old) • Musical instruments

paycheck. If you work for a small company, approach the owner.

A payroll advance isn’t the same thing as a loan. Typically, when you get an advance, you’re just collecting the money for work you’ve already done. So, for instance, if your pay period is two weeks, and you’ve worked one week since your last paycheck, you can collect half of your next one.

• Unused tools • Collectibles If you have a store in your town that deals in these kinds of goods, try going there first. If not, you can try selling your belongings on eBay or Craigslist. Check other listings for similar items first to get an idea how much your stuff is worth.

Another option is to take your stuff to a pawn shop.

You can sell your items outright or borrow money on them. When you take out a pawn shop loan, you hand over your item as collateral, and the shop gives you a fraction of its value in cash.

You also get a receipt, called a pawn ticket, that shows when your loan is due.

A pawn shop loan is usually good for anywhere from one to four months. Any time before that period is up, you can take your ticket back to the store and pay back your loan, along with a fee that can be described as

Celebrating 35 Years of Excellence

In some cases, creditors will accept a lump-sum payment for just a part of what you owe. In other cases, they’ll work out a payment plan with you so you can make repayments bit by bit.

Then you can use the money you save on these bills to cover other expenses that are more urgent. There’s no guarantee lenders will work with you, but you have nothing to lose by asking.

If your creditors aren’t willing to work with you directly, you can try to deal with your debts in other ways. Some options include: 1. Credit counseling. A credit counselor can help you set up a debt management plan, or DMP. Under these plans, you make monthly payments to the credit counselor, and it pays your debts for you. In some cases, a DMP can reduce the interest or penalties you’re currently paying. However, DMPs also come with a setup fee and a monthly maintenance fee, which could cost you more in the long run.

2. Debt consolidation loans. Sometimes, you can make overwhelming debts more manageable by taking out a debt consolidation loan. These loans roll all your existing debts into one loan with a lower interest rate.

This gives you fewer bills to keep track of and a more manageable monthly payment. Interest rates on debt consolidation loans range

either interest or a finance charge. Fees range from 5 percent to 25 percent of the loan value per month. That adds up to 61 percent to 304 percent APR, which is high, but better than you’d get from a payday lender.

If you can’t pay off a pawn shop loan before it comes due, the shop just keeps your stuff and sells it to someone else. That’s not great for you, since it means you’ve sold the item for a lot less than it was worth. But at least that’s the end of the story. Your loan is paid, and you don’t have to worry about debt collectors coming after you.

5. Collect your paycheck early Instead of getting a payday loan to get you through to your next paycheck, determine whether you can just collect your pay a little early. If you work for a large company, go to human resources and ask whether you can get an advance on your

However, a payroll advance can hurt you as well as help you. Taking an advance means your next paycheck is going to be short, so you’ll need to pay your usual bills with less money. If you can’t, you might have to go back to your boss for yet another advance and end up falling further behind. To stop this from happening, many employers limit the number of advances you can take to one or two per year.

Companies can have other rules about payroll advances as well. Some only grant them to employees who have been employed for a certain amount of time. Others ask you to show that you need the money for an emergency expense. Sometimes, employers offer short-term, low-interest loans instead of advances.

‘Nickel Boys’ (Continued from pg. 15) “I was in a store — and I was the first young Black male the police came across and so they took me out to the squad car. I matched the description. And in those situations, you reach for your wallet, you move too fast, and they’re like, ‘Oh, he’s going for a gun.’ [Even though] It was a cellphone,” Whitehead says.

He connects real-life events with his novel. “I identify with the randomness of how Elwood gets in there.

I identify with the randomness of how Michael Brown encountered the wrong cop that day. I think most Black Americans can identify with the notion of being swept up into a lethal, terrible situation very quickly and randomly because of our skin color.”

In the face of that, however, there is hope. We know from the beginning of “The Nickel Boys” that at least one of the characters will make it to adulthood, and New York City. Those who went to the school are not undamaged — “They had been denied even the simple pleasure of being ordinary,” Whitehead writes — but with luck, their futures hold happiness.

The lost ones Although “The Nickel Boys” is set in the sunset days of Jim Crow, its setting has echoes in the past and present.

“The thing about places like Dozier — it’s a reform school, it’s a home for unwed mothers in Ireland, it’s a residential school for indigenous children in Canada where they would take kids from their families and would try to teach them how to be citizens of a proper white country — all these places where adults prey upon children, they’re all over,” Whitehead says. “And now you hear about the detainment camps of refugees coming from Central America and Mexico and the conditions that they’re keeping the children in, and they’re being looked after by for-profit companies by people who have no experience dealing with children.

The kind of predatory behavior and abuse that Dozi-

er described happens all the time. That was horrifying to sort of think about, or appreciate in a new way.”

The town of Marianna, FL, was devastated by Hurricane Michael last October: trees snapped in two, roofs ripped from houses, the fronts of historic brick buildings downtown shorn off. But the Dozier school was left largely intact. It’s as if the site of so much cruelty were waiting for something. But what?

Its symmetrical buildings remain behind a high fence with trespassing warnings, a sheriff ’s car parked as sentry. The state and county have plans to turn the property into a commercial shipping center. As cynical Turner would see it, erasing history for commerce is to be expected. But optimistic Elwood could look at it differently, and imagine that the site is standing by until it can become a memorial for those lost there.
