VP candidate Kamala Harris makes Milwaukee her first campaign stop
Photos By Felita Daniels Ashley
Sen. Kamala D. Harris visited Milwaukee on Monday, September 7, 2020 for her first in-person campaign stop since being named the Democratic vice-presidential nominee, highlighting the campaign's continued convergence on Wisconsin, the epicenter of ongoing protests against police violence and a state President Trump won by fewer than 30,000 votes in 2016. Hours after Vice President Pence toured an energy facility in
La Crosse — and just days after Biden himself visited Kenosha and Milwaukee — Harris toured an International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers training facility and held a round-table with Black business owners in Milwaukee. The senator from California and former prosecutor met with the family of Jacob Blake. Harris' visit to Milwaukee drew many women supporters out to see her on Monday.

Milwaukee Health Commissioner said she faced racism, received threats on the job Dr. Jeanette Kowalik said she faced racism, toxicity and received threats during her time as Milwaukee Health Commissioner. "It's one thing to get into a position, it's another thing to be supported in the position and it's another thing to be able to bring in other people so that you're not the one and only," Kowalik said in the county call on Tuesday. On Monday, September 7, 2020, Kowalik penned an op-ed for the Daily Beast on the obstacles and racism she faced in her job. "As the only Black woman health officer in the state, the luster of being in the role wore off rather quickly. Mostly, I found myself praying that things wouldn't get any worse," Kowalik wrote. "The job was also a personally grating one. It was a constant power struggle from day one. I was 'micro-aggressed, managed - and 'Karen'-splained beyond belief and subject to major passive-aggressive outbursts and plenty of double standards.
seasoned professionals have to admit that our experience with the backlash against common sense and science under this pandemic has been heartbreaking. I truly do not know what the future of the profession will look like as long as experience and formal training in public health is silenced and dismissed," Kowalik wrote.
always anonymous and clearly from people/ someone that is full of anger," Kowalik said. "I submitted the letters to our building security and threw two recent ones away. Since I started teleworking for COVID, I'm not sure when the recent letters came in."
During the county call on Tuesday, Kowalik gave some context to the threats she had received on the job.
"My experience as a Black woman where certain media outlets, certain people in the media, are providing like a double standard of how they address things that I do versus how they would a white male, for instance, in this role," Kowalik said during her interview with WISN 12 News' Adrienne Pederson on Upfront. "Even within city government, as far as like micro-aggressions and things like that, those things are chipping away like death by a thousand paper cuts."
"I was receiving some anti-immigration, white supremacist types of threats and things before COVID," Kowalik said. "So of course, with Milwaukee city and county declaring racism as a public health crisis, there's many people that rallied behind us for doing "I still believe being a that, but there are still many health officer is a noble en- people angry by that who deavor, but even the most feel they are under attack
Kowalik brought up a WISN Upfront special from June, when she first started openly talking about the racism she faced.
Dr. Jeanette Kowalik and their way of life is being threatened." Kowalik would not give specific names or examples of racism in City Hall, citing legal reasons, but said in a statement to WISN 12 News' Caroline Reinwald that there were many situations. "The (threat) notes started in the spring of 2019. They're
On Tuesday, when asked during the county call what could be done to improve the situation, Kowalik said it will take systemic change from everyone. "There needs to be some very deep reflection in every single person and not just going to a class or a course and thinking now you're the expert, but really being committed to a lifestyle change, that racism kills," Kowalik said. "I think we just need to lean into the discomfort and address the various levels of racism and what we need to do to dismantle it." Mayor Tom Barrett did not comment during the county call on Tuesday, but did speak during Kowalik's resignation announcement last week. “I am grateful to Commissioner Kowalik for her dedication and leadership, especially during this pandemic," Barrett said. "She is leaving the department in a solid position to continue to make progress. I wish her the very best as she advances to her new position." Kowalik's last day as health commissioner is Sept. 22.

UR HISTORY
AN EXPLORATION OF OUR LIVES AND LEGACIES
Remembering the 57th anniversary of the 16th Street Baptist church bombing Say their names: Addie Mae Collins, 14 Denise McNair, 11 Carole Robertson, 14 Cynthia Wesley, 14 On September 15, 1963, a bomb exploded during Sunday morning services in the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, AL, killing four young girls. With its large African American congregation, the 16th Street Baptist Church served as a meeting place for civil rights leaders like Martin Luther King, Jr., who once called Birmingham a “symbol of hardcore resistance to integration.” Alabama’s then-governor, George Wallace, made preserving racial segregation one of the central goals of his administration, and Birmingham had one of the most violent and lawless chapters of the Ku Klux Klan. The church bombing was the third in Birmingham in 11 days after a federal order came down to integrate Alabama’s school system. Fifteen sticks of dynamite were planted in the church basement, underneath what turned out to be the girls’ restroom. The bomb detonated at 10:19 a.m., killing Cynthia Wesley, Carole Robertson and Addie Mae Collins–all 14 years old–and 11-year-old Denise McNair. Immediately after the blast, church members wandered dazed and bloodied, covered with white powder and bro-

More than 20 other members of the congregation were injured in the blast. When thousands of angry black protesters assembled at the crime scene, Wallace sent hundreds of police and state troopers to the area to break up the crowd. Two young black men were killed that night, one by police and another by racist thugs. Meanwhile, public outrage over the bombing continued to grow, drawing international attention to Birmingham. At a funeral for three of the girls (one’s family preferred a separate, private service), King addressed more than 8,000 mourners.

By Rev. Judith T. Lester, B.Min. M.Th
Prostate Cancer Awareness Month (Week 1) After the unexpected death of Chadwick Boseman, interest was piqued regarding cancers in men. According to the American Cancer Society, some of the cancers that most often affect men are prostate, colorectal, lung and skin cancers; and scientists have discovered there is some association between prostate cancer and colorectal cancer. Since health continues to be a major concern in our country, this column will continue to bring awareness to health-related issues as often as possible. Therefore, during the month of September, this column will be dedicated to raising awareness of prostate cancer.
Let’s begin with three of the risk factors: age, race and family history. Age The Center for Disease Control (CDC) indicates the most common risk factor is age. The older the man is, the greater his chance of getting prostate cancer. Some men are at increased risk for prostate cancer. You are at increased risk for getting or dying from prostate cancer if you are African American or have a family history of prostate cancer. African American Men… • Are more likely to get prostate cancer than other men. • Are more than twice as likely to die from prostate cancer than white men.
NOVEMBER 3, 2020
• Get prostate cancer at a younger age, tend to have more advanced disease when it is found, and tend to have a more severe type of prostate than other men. Family History Men who have a father, son, or brother who had prostate cancer are at an increased risk for getting prostate cancer. Men with 3 or more first-degree relatives (father, son, or brother), or 2 close relatives on the same side of the family who have had prostate cancer caused by genetic changes that are inherited. The CDC specifically noted that men who are not African American and do not have a family history of prostate cancer are at average risk. Beloved, the American Cancer Society reports that prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men (after skin cancer), and the second leading cause of cancer death in American men, behind only lung cancer. While prostate cancer can be a serious disease, most men diagnosed with prostate cancer do not die from it. In fact, more than 3.1 million
men in the U.S. who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer at some point are still alive today. Join me in standing with our men and their families who fight alongside them in the battle against prostate cancer and rededicate ourselves to praying and supporting these men and their families to increase awareness and prevention of prostate cancer. If you or someone you know have questions regarding prostate cancer, talk to your health care professional or call the American Cancer Society at 1-800-227-2345 or use their Live Chat feature for assistance for cancer-related information and referrals, patient-related programs or resources. at https://www. cancer.org/about-us/ online-help/contact-us. html Next Week: Series Continuation GENERAL AND PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION TUESDAY, NOVEMBER

CLIP IT OR TICKET: Wisconsin Athletic HOF Inductee Driver surprises local Milwaukee barbershop in new ‘Click it or Ticket’ ads.
The seat belt usage rate in Milwaukee lags behind the rest of Wisconsin. That’s why Wisconsin Athletic Hall of Fame inductee Donald Driver, paid a recent visit to Gee’s Clippers in Milwaukee. Driver wanted to personally get the word out to customers at the barber shop that wearing seat belts saves lives and that you can get a ticket for not wearing one. Only a few of the customers that Driver surprised said they don’t wear their seat belts. But, after their encounter with Donald and having him buckle them in to the barber chair, chances are they do now! So, take it from a Driver who always wears his seat belt, every trip, every time; CLICK IT OR TICKET!
