Wisconsin Black women who have shaped Women's Rights Celebrating 100 years of women's right to vote, and honoring the local women of color who fight for equality

August 18, 2020 marked the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment, guaranteeing and protecting women's constitutional right to vote. This historic centennial offers an unparalleled opportunity to commemorate a milestone of democracy and to explore its relevance to the issues of equal rights today. There are many Black women from our community who have forged the way for women's rights in their own unique way. Whether it is to advocate for housing, women and families, or having been a trailblazer in politics, education and business, these are a few of our exemplary women who have made all our lives better.

A struggle waged alone: Black women and the right to vote Literacy tests and poll taxes are typically no longer employed to deny African Americans the right to vote. But 100 years after its ratification on August 18, 1920, when the 19th Amendment nominally gave all women the right to vote, the reality is that African American women are frequently still victims of various voter suppression tactics, including gerrymandering, overly zealous purges of voter registration rolls, elimination of Congressional oversight of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and a relatively new tactic this year: denying the United States Postal Service the resources necessary to conduct voting by mail during a pandemic. These voter suppression tactics have also served to obscure the pivotal contribution that African American women made toward passage

of the 19th Amendment. Historian Martha S. Jones has sought to highlight the contribution African American women made toward securing the vote in a soonto-be-published book: Vanguard: How Black Women Broke Barriers, Won the Vote, and Insisted on Equality for All. “The 19th Amendment did not eliminate the state laws that operated to keep Black Americans from the polls via poll taxes, literacy tests – nor did the 19th Amendment address violence or lynching,” Jones said during a recent interview with Time Magazine. “Black women are set at a distance quite intentionally, because in order to hold onto the support of many white southern women, it’s necessary to keep the organization distant from African American women. And it’s also implicitly the promise that the

She’s was part of some of the very risky early voting rights organizing in Alabama that predates even Selma. amendment will not interfere – so it’s not a campaign prewith the disenfranchisement mised in women’s universal of African American women voting rights, but it’s a cam-

paign premised in the process of selective voting rights for white American women.” Jones said those who attempt to look for historical African American suffragists in organizations put together by white women of that era will be disappointed because they were often not present or recognized. They did their own work, Jones said. Her book, in part, is an effort to highlight the many contributions African American women made to secure the right to vote. “African American women are held out at moments when they are convenient or they seem to serve another argument or purpose,” Jones said. “But too often we don’t get the full sense of their lives and how they are connected to their own histories and the histories of other Black women.”

Fellowship Open Weekend a rousing success, despite pandemic Despite the inability to gather by the hundreds and tee-off together at Silver Spring Country Club in Menomonee Falls, the traditional Fellowship Open weekend was a rousing success – virtually and live. While maintaining social-distancing and all established health and safety protocols, two events highlighted the traditional weekend in August filled with recognition and celebration of achievement.

Being Frank

By: Frank James Special to the Milwaukee Times

The NBA to the rescue COVID-19 has paralyzed the world. Many countries have issued lockdown orders and forced citizens to stay in their homes. In the USA the lockdowns have crippled businesses across the country. COVID-based restrictions has forced many school districts to adopt virtual learning platforms. The NBA has come to the rescue just when it seemed the wheels were falling off of the wagon called the USA. NBA-led research has created a cost effective way to test for the virus. The NBA also may have saved the day for its partner in sports entertainment, the NFL. Hats off to the NBA and the NBA Players Association. These two entities worked with Yale University and created a saliva-based cheaper form of testing for the COVID-19 virus. The FDA recently gave its blessing for use of the new test. This is a major coup for the USA and possibly the world. Cheaper, easier testing means people can be diagnosed quicker and get treatment faster. The NBA and its players have not only helped themselves but the world. The NBA not only came through with the new COVID test, it came back.

Millions of people were moaning because there was no sports on TV. The NBA came up with a plan to keep everyone in one area, Orlando, and came back with a vengeance. I heard one woman say, “God is good. I got to watch an NBA game last night.” I guess He is because the NBA is playing and fans are watching from home. MLB also stepped up to the plate and began playing baseball to empty stadiums, but fans watch the games anyway. In the USA people need their sports and ironically their sports heroes have stepped up to give them their due. The other sports organization in the USA celebrating the testing breakthrough is the NFL. Football is easily the most popular sport in the USA. The NFL has

been constant throughout the COVID pandemic on its stance about the 2020 season. The NFL never officially planned to put the season on hold. The NFL simply adjusted to the crisis by making certain aspects of business virtual and eliminating unnecessary aspects. The NFL Draft was done virtually. NFL preseason games were cancelled. Not once did the NFL create a panic by saying there would be no season. The NFL simply kept saying they planned on going forth. True there were people on all levels of the NFL who questioned this stance about a 2020 season. Yet the NFL kept moving forward. People may laugh but there are many people who need sports in their life. The NFL keeps many people out of the throes of bleak depression.

Everything hasn’t gone smoothly with the return of professional sports. Some players have chosen to opt out and not play in 2020. The NFL has had more than 60 players opt out of the season because of COVID concerns. The NBA and MLB have fared better with lesser numbers of players opting out of the 2020 season. Big name stars like Odell Beckham, Jr., have questioned the rationale behind playing sports while a pandemic rages throughout the land. Others in and outside of sports have voiced similar concerns. Yet, no one in a sane mind can question the impact pro sports has on US society.

league to create a COVID test maybe they can work with the league to clean up the African American community. The team jerseys pointing out social injustice are great. Maybe these African American players can continue to work with the league to make a real change in the African American community. Who knows? Frank James IV © 2020 beingfrankwithfrank@ gmail.com

First Black-owned Wauwatosa home receives historical designation

Zeddie Hyler (inset) had to overcome many obstacles in 1955 before becoming the first African American homeowner in Wauwatosa. The list of obstacles he successfully overcame included angry neighbors, vandalism and arson. Even before beginning to build, Hyler had to enlist a white friend to purchase the property in his name before Hyler could begin construction. The persistence paid off, according to a recent news report by WUWM 89.7 radio. Hyler became the first Black man to build a home in Wauwatosa. When he died in 2004, he left the house to his nephew, Gerald Williamson (main photo) who believed the historical significance of the house should be officially recognized. Williamson’s objective was realized earlier this year when the Wauwatosa Common Council unanimously approved a resolution designating the location as a Wauwatosa Historic Property.

Fondly called Dothee, Dottie, Dot and Dorothea by family and friends, Dorothy Jean Toombs was born in Ripley, Tennessee, on July 27, 1950. She was the second eldest of eleven children born to James and Louise (Mann) Toombs, both natives of Tennessee. Dorothy migrated as a small child with her family to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where the family would settle and reside for decades. Along with her siblings, Dorothy attended Milwaukee Public Schools and graduated from Lincoln High School. Later, she attended Bryant & Stratton College, where she studied Business and subsequently worked for a short time in banking. An interest in medicine, however, led her to the City of Milwaukee Health Department, where she worked as a Medical Assistant for more than 20 years. After retirement, Dorothy launched into her second career, as well as entrepreneurship. Acting on her passion for writing and an abiding interest in current events, she became a journalist—first at the Milwaukee Community Journal in the early 1980s, and later, at The Milwaukee Times Weekly Newspaper. Aside from her many contributions to The Milwaukee Times, Dorothy was a key developer of stories and coverage of the newspaper’s annual Black Excellence Awards.

In 1992, Dorothy founded the Black Clowns Association (later known as the African-American Clowns Association) to help children navigate the pain and trauma caused by violence in the community. In 1994, after being nominated by the Black Women’s Network, Inc., Dorothy received her own Black Excellence Award for her creative work in Milwaukee’s vibrant arts and entertainment community– specifically for founding the Black Clowns Association. Forever the trailblazer, Dorothy paved the way for the new expression of an old art form by being one of the first Black female clowns in an industry dominated by white male clowns. Dorothy employed, led, and performed alongside a co-ed troupe of clowns of all ages, bringing smiles to countless faces at Milwaukee’s annual African World Festival, Juneteenth Day celebrations, Summerfest, and private parties during the 1990s and throughout the 2000s.

She is survived by her husband of 42 years Kenneth, daughter Dominique, son Shanon Wood, six grandchildren, and one great-grandson.

Prisons and the pandemic: an untold tragedy As we struggle to reset and find a “new normal” in the midst of a pandemic, we have mainly been focusing on our personal challenges. Yes, we know about what is happening in the nursing homes but, again, that quest

is personal as many of us have loved ones who reside in nursing homes. But what about the prisoners? They are a large population living in confined spaces. That is precisely where this disease does its most damage.

Prisons have two of the toughest challenges in America today. First, as previously mentioned, they have a population of suitable hosts who cannot effectively protect themselves. Second, they are part of a lost and forgotten

part of society. They are citizens who other citizens don’t think (or even care) about. In fact, there have been some who have even advocated for involuntarily using prisoners to test potential vaccines in a modernized Tuskegee Experiment. However, there are those who are not only advocating for prisoners, but are collecting state-by-state data on how this population is faring in the face of this crisis. Since March, The Marshall Project, a nonprofit organization dedicated to journalism about criminal justice, has been tracking how many people are being infected and killed in prisons. They are also tracking how widely it has spread across the country in one of the most underserved populations. Here are some of the highlights of their research: • By Aug. 18, at least 102,494 people in prison have tested positive, a 7 percent increase from the week before. • Of those infected, 77,026 have recovered. • The states with the highest level of prisoner infections are Texas, Florida, Federal, California, Ohio, and Arkansas. • The first known death of a prisoner was in Georgia on March 26. • In total, 889 prisoners have died with a peak of 87 in early May and recent surge as nationwide infections increase. • The states with the highest level of prisoner deaths are Texas, Ohio, Florida, Michigan, and California. When you have an essential operation like prisons, there are essential workers needed to run it. If prisoners are get-

ting infected, then the prison staff are being exposed. Correctional officers, nurses, chaplains, wardens, etc., are all at risk. Unfortunately, states have not consistently collected the data about their correctional employees. Instead, the count only includes those who voluntarily report a diagnosis, most often in the course of calling out sick. The latest data (up to the week of Aug. 18) shows the following: • There have been at least 22,544 confirmed cases reported among prison staff. • 14,838 staff have recovered, • There have been at least 72 deaths among prison staff reported. In the recent week, 18 states released information on their positive cases among staff. This suggests that there could be more infections and/or deaths unreported in other states. Prisons and prisoners represent a tough litmus test for America. For Black Americans, it becomes more problematic. Black Americans are incarcerated at more than 5 times the rate of whites and, on average, serve longer sentences for the same crimes. These facts place more Black Americans in jeopardy of being infected. When you pair this with a general lack of care and concern for prisoners, the number of infections could continue to rise with few resources dedicated to prevention and treatment. As society moves closer to a vaccine and (hopefully) a return to normal functioning, are we prepared to treat those who have been incarcerated with the humanity they deserve?
