Library at Dr. George Washington Carver Academy renamed for former educator On Friday, July 27, 2021, at the home of Joyce A. Hall a private ceremony was held in honor of the renaming of the Dr. George Washington Carver Academy library, to the Joyce A. Hall Library. For more than 36 years Joyce was a full-time reading teacher at Carver, then called Henry L. Palmer School. After her retirement in 1994, Joyce would return a few month later as a volunteer reading specialist, meeting twice a week with about 10 students per day. Even at the age of 88 years old, Joyce enjoyed immensely help-
ing students learn and looked forward to seeing her students each week. It wasn't until after a fall at school that Joyce, with great sadness, decided to retire from her volunteer work. Back in May 2021 local community organizer Billy Smith had the idea to honor Joyce for her many years of service in education by renaming Carver Academy's library after her. Working with Milwaukee Public Schools, The Milwaukee Times and Joyce's daughter – Milwaukee Urban League President and CEO Dr. Eve Hall – were able to get the renaming to happen. "She was shocked," said Eve Hall, when she told her mother the news, "She has never done any of her work for recognition. This makes this honor more special." Joyce was previously honored by the Milwaukee Times and WISN-TV 12 at the 2013 Black Excellence Awards ceremony as an Education Pioneer.

Wauwatosa police officer will be charged in the 2016 slaying of Jay Anderson A Wisconsin judge on Wednesday, July 25, 2021, found probable cause to charge a police officer in the 2016 slaying of a Black man who was sitting in a parked car, taking the rare step of overruling prosecutors years after they declined to charge the officer. Milwaukee County Judge Glenn Yamahiro said probable cause existed to charge Joseph Mensah with homicide by negligent use of a weapon in Jay Anderson Jr.'s death. He ordered a special prosecutor to formally file the charge within 60 days. Yamahiro's decision marks a victory for Anderson's family, who took advantage of a little-used provision in state law to ask the judge for a second look at the case. Mensah, who is also Black, discovered the 25-year-old Anderson sleeping in his car at 3 a.m., in a park in Wauwatosa, a Milwaukee suburb. Mensah said he shot Anderson after Anderson reached for a gun, but Anderson's family disputes that and the judge on Wednesday said the evidence did not back up Mensah's version of events. Anderson was the second of three people Mensah shot to death during a five-year stint with the Wauwatosa Police Department. Prosecutors cleared him of criminal wrongdoing in each case. Anderson's family asked Yamahiro to review that case under an obscure state law that allows judges to directly question witnesses in what's known as a John Doe proceeding. A judge who finds sufficient evidence for charges can file them directly, leaving prosecutors out of
He ordered a special prosecutor to be appointed to handle the case.
Officer Joseph Mensah the equation. At least six other states have similar statutory provisions, but attorneys say the process is rarely used in Wisconsin. The judge said he decided that the single charge against Mensah was warranted based on testimony about the circumstances of the shooting. Mensah should have been aware that pulling his weapon on Anderson created an unreasonable risk of death, Yamahiro said. Mensah could have taken steps to de-escalate the situation, including waiting for backup that was on the way, the judge said. Anderson's behavior was consistent with someone who was intoxicated, had been asleep and was trying but having difficulty complying with Mensah's orders, Yamahiro said. The evidence did not back up Mensah's claims that Anderson was pretending to be asleep or that Anderson lunged for his weapon, the judge said. The judge also noted problems with the investigation and cited what he said were structural defects with having neighboring law enforcement agencies investigate one another and nearby district attorneys make charging decisions.

Resources still available for residents as eviction moratorium ends
Mensah joined the Wauwatosa Police Department in 2015. That year he fatally shot Antonio Gonzales, who identified as Latino and American Indian. Prosecutors said Gonzales refused to drop a sword. The Anderson shooting came the next year. Then, in 2020, Mensah fatally shot 17-year-old Alvin Cole as Cole fled from police during a disturbance in a mall. Mensah said he shot Cole, who was Black, after he pointed a gun at him. That set off months of protests. Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm's decision not to charge him in that shooting led to more protests in Wauwatosa in October, 2020. Mensah remained under pressure even after being cleared in Cole's death and resigned in November, 2020. He collected a $130,000 severance payment and now works as a Waukesha County deputy, another Milwaukee suburb. Kimberly Motley, the Anderson family's attorney, also represents the Gonzales and Cole families. She said she is considering invoking the John Doe process for them.
On Saturday, July 31, 2021, the federally instituted moratorium on evictions for those unable to pay their rent as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic was lifted. Alderwoman Milele A. Coggs wants local residents to be aware of this change, and prepare to take appropriate steps should additional support be needed. A full slate of housing referrals via the City can be found online at: https://city.milwaukee.gov/ Strong/HousingHelp. “The eviction moratorium supported many families during the pandemic, but now with that option no longer available, residents must not wait to take action should they still be in need of support,” said Alderwoman Coggs. “There are many local organizations and programs available to help those in need, and I ask everyone to share this info with friends, family or neighbors who could benefit.”

August is Black Business Month - Week 2 Milwaukee’s Black Business Directory is a non-profit that provides a directory of Black-owned businesses in the greater Milwaukee area, as well as connects businesses to resources, capital and networks. This week, three restaurants will be featured that serve vegan dishes. The basic differences between a vegan and a vegetarian is a vegan will avoid meat, poultry and seafood but they take a little step further by not consuming milk, eggs, honey or any product/ by-product made from animal/animal skin. There are sub-categories for vegans: ethical vegans, do not consume any dairy product be it milk, eggs, cheese, and avoid the usage of any product made by animal skin, flesh or bones.

Simone Biles isn't alone: Olympic athletes face a mental health crisis Even before Naomi Osaka appeared on stage to light the Olympic torch, these Games were aflame with the issue of athletes’ mental health. Osaka had inserted it into the conversation in the runup to Tokyo, with her openness about feeling vulnerable and resulting withdrawal from the French Open and Wimbledon. Then Simone Biles made mental health the Games’ biggest story. That this is a huge issue only comes as a surprise to those who have had blinders on in recent years, particularly in America. “One of the things this pandemic has revealed is how poorly equipped we are to handle stress,” said Robert Andrews, a Houston sports psychologist. “We are so highly reactive to things, quick to lash out. For a country with such resources, our emotional intelligence is so poor.” The pandemic has created a mental health crisis around the globe. But that phenomenon is intensified for athletes here by the relentless pressure of the Olympics cycle, and an entire year of uncertainty and training in relative isolation. Andrews, who is working with several athletes at these Games, including swimmer Simone Manuel and gymnast Sam Mikulak, could see a ticking time bomb in Biles. She withdrew from the team competition after a nearcrash in vault and opted out of the all-around, citing her mental health. On Saturday morning in Japan she withdrew from the vault and uneven bars finals, then pulled
out of the floor exercise Sunday. Her status for the balance beam remains uncertain. “Think of all that Simone has been through,” Andrews said. There was the sexual abuse by Larry Nassar (several victims have said the Olympics are particularly triggering). Her childhood was spent in foster care and abject poverty. She has revolutionized her sport and remained competing, in part, to hold the federation accountable for its past misdeeds. Another load Biles carries, one that hasn’t been talked about much, is as a Black woman under an intense spotlight in today’s racially charged America. “Our society doesn’t like strong women in general, and it really doesn’t seem to like strong Black women,” Andrews said. All of that has placed an exceptional burden on Biles. “You can only hold a beach ball under water for so long before it pops up,” Andrews said. “Simone has been holding down a bunch of beach balls. “Her brain said: ‘It’s too much’.” The mental pressure at

these Games is unique. It is absurd to compare — as some have tried to do — the Tokyo Olympics to, say, a Super Bowl or the NBA Finals. Olympic athletes train their entire lives for one shot, the pressure building continuously as the Games approach. The pandemic and postponement have made their preparation even more drawn-out, stressful and precarious. “I can’t imagine the added amount of stress and anxiety — 2021 was expected to be their year to relax,” said Michaela George, an epidemiologist and assistant professor of global public health at Dominican University in San Rafael. “The fatigue and the mental load will have a burnout effect. It can make them less focused.” Another reason the Tokyo Olympics are unlike any other Games is the saturation of social media. This is not new: Twitter was on the scene at the Beijing Olympics, Instagram had been born by London. But with each Olympic cycle, social media becomes more omnipresent and suffocating. Biles engaged with her 6.2 million Instagram followers Friday, answering ques-
tions in her story about the “twisties.” She wrote “it’s petrifying trying to do a skill but not having your mind & body in sync” and that she’s had them before, but never in all four events, like she’s experiencing now. “Could be triggered by stress I hear but I’m also not sure how true that is,” Biles wrote. Athletes are pressured to be their own brands, to grow their followers, to post constantly to satisfy sponsors and agents and to capitalize on their moment in the spotlight. But it’s a double-edge sword. Ostensibly social media gives athletes the power to control their own message, yet athletes often find they can’t control social media. “It’s like pouring gasoline on a fire,” Andrews said. “You scroll through, you see something, you have an emotional reaction.” Sure, there is an outpouring of love from fans. But there is also, in our increasingly fractured society, a steady flow of hate and criticism. Swimmer Katie Ledecky spoke of the constant feeling of being watched and judged. The venom hurled digitally at athletes like Biles and Osaka is appalling. “We’re perpetuating psychological warfare on ourselves,” Andrews said. “Now you can’t have a conversation about a vaccination or a gymnast without getting into a political fight.” Andrews encourages all the athletes to disengage from social media, to delete the apps from their phone. Many of them have.
Australia’s star swimmer Ariarne Titmus said she had deleted all her social media and had to have her best friend log on to her Instagram account to post about her accomplishments in Tokyo. The friend reported Titmus’ notifications were out of control. “It can be a bit overwhelming,” Titmus said. “I try to keep away from external pressure.” U.S. women’s soccer player Crystal Dunn does the same thing and consequently hasn’t heard the criticism of how the team looked in group play. “I’m not on social media, so I have no idea,” Dunn said. “It’s been the best thing.” Athletes are increasingly comfortable with understanding and addressing their mental health as part of their wellness. NBA player Kevin Love was one of the first, describing a panic attack in 2017. Michael Phelps said he contemplated suicide. Rory McIlroy has opened up about his own battles with depression. Playing golf here at the Olympics, he expressed his full support for Biles. “I live in the United States, and anything that came on the TV about the Olympics, it was Simone Biles,” McIlroy said. “You’ve got 300-whatever million (in the U.S.), so the weight on her shoulders is massive. “Just as I thought Naomi Osaka was right to do what she did at the French Open and take time off and get herself in the right place. I 100 percent agree with what Simone is doing.” (Continued on pg. 12)

Mother Clara Atwater died August 2, 2021. She was 86 years old. Atwater founded Love Tabernacle Church where she served as pastor; and Gingerbread Land, Inc., a nonprofit organization reaching out to those in need of support, guidance, and love. She started her ministry after relocating to Milwaukee from Detroit in the early 1960s. She was a Black Excellence Award honoree at the 35th annual Black Excellence Awards as sponsored by The Milwaukee Times and WISNTV Channel 12 in 2020. Pastor Atwater also broadcasted a radio show five days a week for more than 50 years on WBLB-AM 1560 radio. “She was truly unique in her ministry,” said Pastor Toussaint Harris who is president and executive director of Gingerbread Land as well as the oldest grandson of Pastor Atwater. “She literally fed and clothed thousands during her life.” Since its founding in 1989, thousands have been assisted through Gingerbread Land, Inc., which includes seven houses near North First and West Burleigh streets. The units are occupied by recovering drug addicts, persons with physical and mental disabilities, and several people in need of temporary shelter. It has been a safe haven for the residents as they attend Love Tabernacle Church. “People have seen what we do, how we do it and how we do it, and they support us,” Pastor Atwater said in her interview for the 35th Annual Black Excellence Awards. “Many of the young people that we took off the streets and embraced at Gingerbread Land are now professionals—teachers and the like. They also support our efforts, come back and visit and recount how not one of them living on the block and visiting Gingerbread Land ended up dying to violence.” Public viewing will be held at Leon Williamson Funeral Home, 2157 N. 12th St., on Wednesday, August 11, 2021, from 4-7 p.m. Funeral services will be held at Greater Mt. Sinai, 5384 N. 60th St., Thursday, August 12, 2021 at 11 a.m.

MATC to forgive approximately $6.75-million in student debt for students
Offer is for those who attended the college during the pandemic; initiative funded by Institutional Portion of Federal Emergency Relief awarded to MATC Milwaukee Area Technical College will automatically forgive approximately $6.75.-million of debt owed to the college by students who attended MATC during the pandemic, using federal COVID-19 relief dollars awarded the institution by U.S. Department of Education’s Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF III). Students who owe an outstanding balance to MATC for tuition and fees incurred from spring 2020 through spring of 2021 will have those debts forgiven by the college. This affects past due tuition and fees owed directly to MATC. It does not apply to debt from student loans.
Students who were enrolled at MATC during the COVID-19 pandemic and do not owe MATC money but who experienced a hardship in paying their account balances during this time may request up to $500 in relief as well. MATC is setting aside an additional $1 million
dollars of HEERF III funds to assist those students.
“We believe that it is crucial to reach out to help those students overcome debt at this time when so many are struggling. Recipients are not required to enroll in MATC in the fall semester, but we hope this will provide the opportunity for many students to return to college this fall to continue studies which will lead them to jobs with family-sustaining wages. This initiative will have a positive financial impact not only on our students, but also on the communities we serve.”

The MATC community is student-centered and has consistently allocated additional institutional portion funding to address student needs, above and beyond what is required by the Department of Education. The debt forgiveness program will immediately help nearly 7,000 students who owe MATC an average of $825 for tuition and fees during the pandemic. Affected students will be contacted by the college by email in the coming weeks.

“Breathing Fire: Female Inmate Firefighters on the Front Lines of California’s Wildfires” by Jaime Lowe
c.2021, MCB / Farrar, Straus and Giroux $27.00 / $37.00 Canada 303 pages Your oversized plastic tote is all packed. You don’t want to think about it, but if you have to bug out, you can. A backup laptop, extra dog bowls, every irreplaceable document, it’s all there, ready
to slide into the car. You can never be too careful when it’s fire season and in the new book “Breathing Fire” by Jaime Lowe, you’ll meet some of the women tasked with keeping you safe. Shawna Lynn Jones had made mistakes in her life. The biggest one got her sent to prison. She was young, though, and in good physical shape, which ultimately helped her get into the CDCR’s (California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation) inmate firefighter program. She learned to be a bucker, tasked with cleaning up behind her partner, Carla, who was a sawyer with a chainsaw. Crew 13-3 consisted of two sawyer / bucker pairs, followed by other women with jobs specific to stopping wildfires. Jaime Lowe grew up in California but until she read about Shawna, she was unaware of the role that female inmate crews
have in fighting fire. Inmate firefighters take the same qualifications tests as do free-world firefighters. They do the same work, face the same dangers, and they save the state millions of dollars: when Lowe began writing this book, inmate firefighters averaged less than $3 an hour for their skills. Still, despite low pay, many inmates pursued positions in “fire camp.” Some, says Lowe, even hoped to fight fires after their release, although it was a long shot: their felony records follow them, no matter where they might apply. In learning about the program, Lowe got a chance to meet Selena, who “wasn’t intending to go back to prison” after her release. She met Whitney, formerly a white-collar worker and ultra-marathoner. She met Laurie, who struggled to find a job after prison; Sonya, who delighted in a new
Rather than focusing on flames, author Jaime Lowe instead concentrates on the women of Crew 13-3 and the work they did for the State of California. In this, readers can expect pure honesty: Lowe unabashedly reveals what each woman did to land her in prison and the struggles each had in life, in prison, and on the line. She also makes absolutely sure that readers – especially those in California – understand the unfairness of a far-ranging Photo by: system that denies good jobs Phillip Montgomery to women who are essentially grandson; and Marquet, who professionally trained, and found solace in her religion. who’ve paid their dues and And Lowe met Shawna, are trying to move forward. who gave her life to fight a fire....

The rest of it on-the-ground action and shows flawed real-life heroes extended-wall-of-fire danger, amid an area-wide “constant it’ll be a disappointment crisis,” and if you’re burning because “Breathing Fire” isn’t for stories like that, this book that kind of book. is packed.
